Both live and dead stink bugs can be removed with a vacuum cleaner, however the vacuum may smell like stink bugs for a period of time. Some people prefer to sweep the stink bugs up using a broom and dust pan and will then discard them in an outdoor trash receptacle.


Clarkin is referring mainly to the title track and opener of the new album. "I feel that Bob delivered it really well," Clarkin praises his vocalist Bob Catley. "As far as I am concerned, ´Sacred Blood – Devine Lies` is definitely likely to join the ranks of great Magnum classics." So it comes as no surprise that Sacred Blood "Divine" Lieswith its significant message became the album title.
So here it is: Sacred Blood "Divine" Lies – again with a fantastic cover by Rodney Matthews – has been scheduled for release by Steamhammer/SPV on 26 February 2016 as digipak version incl. DVD, 2LP coloured version, CD and Download and will – you don't need to be a clairvoyant to predict this – be loved by the band's fans. That Clarkin will probably already have his mind on Magnum's next release by that time – well, that's another story.

Bike Snob
Guilty Until Proven Helmeted
When a driver hits a cyclist—even a child on a bike—the victim is almost always the one who gets blamed, unless they're wearing a helmet
News stories about drivers who hit cyclists often implicitly absolve the driver and blame the victim. (Photo: cream_ph/iStock)
Eben Weiss
When it comes to automotive violence and mayhem, we've become more desensitized than a perineum after a Gran Fondo on a maladjusted saddle, as is apparent from the way we report on incidents in which someone in a car drives into someone on a bike.
News stories about drivers who hit cyclists often implicitly absolve the driver and blame the victim. First, there's almost always a lack of agency coupled with the passive voice: it's never "a driver hit a cyclist." Instead, it's usually something like "a cyclist was hit by a car." (Yet you never read about how a shooting victim "collided with a bullet." Go figure.) Then there's generally some insinuation that it must have been the victim's fault, often along the lines of "It's unclear whether the victim was wearing a helmet." And despite a big push to change this, it's also fairly typical to refer to the collision as an "accident," even before anybody knows what really happened; in journalism, the oxymoronic "police are still investigating the accident" is reserved almost exclusively to incidents involving cars.
It's not just reporters who write this way, either. When it comes to drivers hurting or killing people on bikes, this kind of unconscious victim-blaming permeates every aspect of our discourse. Consider this account from the Santa Barbara City Fire Department, which was accompanied by chilling photos of a child's bike underneath a Toyota Tacoma, and which also appeared on a local website under the headline "Truck Hits Father and Child on Bicycle." Highlights include:
A little girl and her father were crossing the street at an intersection with no crosswalk. The girl was on her bicycle when they both were struck by the pickup truck.
Luckily the injuries were minor to the little girl despite her not wearing a bicycle helmet.
The California vehicle code requires bicycle riders under the age of 18 years to wear a bicycle helmet while riding on a public road...Properly-fitted helmets provide protection from a potentially life-threatening head injury.
The Santa Barbara City Fire Department would like to remind everyone to promote bicycle safety for your children and have them wear a properly fitted helmet when riding.
If you're one of the millions of Americans suffering from Victim-Blaming Syndrome (VBS) you probably see nothing wrong with any of this. In fact, you may even be a little miffed at the father for not making sure his precious child was wearing a helmet. If, however, you've donned the "They Live" Sunglasses and see all this brainwashing for what it is, you're probably not even reading this because you're too busy trying to get your fist back out of the wall after punching a hole through it.
Either way, the story quoted above is under 200 words long. There's not a single mention of the motorist; instead, the victims were "struck by a pickup truck," as though it were somehow self-driving. The account also contains no fewer than five mentions of the word "helmet," yet it doesn't remind people to drive more carefully or cite relevant motor vehicle code, not even once. The helmet exhortation is especially vexing since the little girl only sustained minor injuries. So, what, are we supposed to believe that if she'd been wearing a helmet the driver wouldn't have hit her in the first place? Or are we supposed to think a child's bicycle helmet offers meaningful protection against a Tacoma and that the real mitigating factor isn't the luck that just happened to be on her side?
It's almost like, in our bizarre logistical and ethical framework, dying while wearing a helmet is preferable to surviving without one.
But focussing on the child's helmetlessness isn't the only insinuation of guilt here. There's also the mention of how the girl and her father were "crossing the street at an intersection with no crosswalk." To read this, you'd be forgiven for thinking the girl's father was duping her into playing a real-life game of Crossy Road. However, as many people pointed out in a lenghty Twitter thread, according to California state law all intersections have crosswalks and therefore drivers are required to yield whether they're marked or not:
The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection…
The driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.
So, unless father and daughter leaped off of the sidewalk into oncoming traffic and shouted "Surprise!", this collision is entirely the driver's fault.
To their credit, after being called out on all of the above, the Santa Barbara City Fire Department were contrite. Chief Eric Nickel tweeted the following:
https://twitter.com/NickelEric/status/1100213765188943872
It was refreshing to see him acknowledge this. It's important not to lose sight of the fact that these are people who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others. Therefore, any safety advice they offer is no doubt well-intentioned, as misdirected as it may be.
Yet it's essential to hack away at the gigantic blind spot that allows us to see the actual problem, which is people driving into other people with their cars. We've got a long way to go in that regard. But we'll know we're making progress when we stop blaming children and their parents for winding up underneath pickup trucks.

Listen: Chile, Hawaii, Constantinople Migas discussed on SpaceTime with Stuart Gary
"Galaxies up to twelve billion light years away providing them with insights into the universe when it was just a fraction of its current age quals are among the brightest objects in the cosmos their powerful beams of energy generated by being ripped apart as it falls into a supermassive black hole as this quasar light pass through the galaxies. Specific wavelengths are absorbed by the gas resulting in an absorption spectrum telling scientists about the chemical composition of that gas but unexpectedly weapon colleagues noticed that the fine structure constant pete be different depending on which direction they were looking Web says. It appears to be getting stronger in one direction waker. In the other webs initial observations use the giant tin made a kick telescopes in Hawaii in order to eliminate any equipment aberrations with a telescope. The office collected data from a second observatory. The very large telescope veal t in Chile's hired a comma desert the veil to looked at a different part of the sky but it came out with findings consistent with kick showing the same rate of change and in the same direction as astronomers look at more and more distant objects in space. They're also looking back further in time. So we've been colleagues looked at even more distant. Quasars some thirteen billion light years away in never before undertaking observation the authors Caridad for measurements of the fine structure constant along the one line of sight to Quasar now individually. These for measurements. Didn't provide any conclusive answer as to whether or not they really was any perceptible changes in the electromagnetic force. However when combined with other observations undertaken by other scientists unrelated to Web's work the differences in the fine structure constant became evident. They found hints that the fine structure constant really wants different in certain regions of the universe the observations add to evidence that electromagnetism seems to be gradually increasing strength when looking back in one direction of distances of twelve billion light is while looking back over the same distance but in the opposite direction shows an apparent decrease in strength and yet in all other directions the fine structure constant remains just that constant. Hey you may recall that. Last month on Space. Time we reported on the work of Constantinople Migas from the University of Bonn his observations reported in the journalists Ron in the and astrophysics suggested that the universe is expanding at different rates in different directions. Astronomers generally agree that the universe that with the Big Bang about thirteen point eight billion years ago and it's been continuously expanding the since that rate of expansion appears to be accelerating judicial mysterious force called tack energy but that change in the red expansion still a piece to be the same in all directions. Migos research examined the relationship between the temperature of hot gases providing a galaxy cluster and the amount of x Rays. It produces known as the cost is minority. The higher the temperature the gas in the cluster. The high the x Ray luminosity is and so once the temperature of the classic guests can be measured the x Ray Lewis. Manati can be estimated. And He's where it gets interesting cost of the same temperature and located at similar distance. Should it be similarly bright? But that's not what they observed instead Miguel's colleagues or clusters with the same properties and with similar temperatures which appear to be less bright than what we would expect in one direction to the sky and brighter than expected in another direction and the difference was quite significant around thirty percent even more interesting. These differences want random but they had a very clear patent depending on the direction of the sky. Observing web says if the fine structure constant really does vary not just with time it also space that would require a major rethink of quantum mechanics and our standard model of particle physics. He says if the fine structure concert is different in different parts of the universe then that could mean different properties for chemicals and even biology according to web a full percent change in the fine structure constant would mean differences in the production of elements which would affect our stars burn and change the production of heavy elements such as those needed for the formation of life. What knew about the work that we put it too much. I am rich. All people want to think in terms of distance granted since away from all much closer to the Big Bang in time we pushed it right back into the universe is being pushed pool. We've gone into the infrared part of the spectrum for the first time which is allow us to do this. Before we had lots of observations our observations were all banned. Stop below redshift a tree. We've now we've got measurements from five dollars out to sentence. Well that means in terms of look time so the universe is about thirteen point. Eight billion years old according to the Standard Model. We've come within about eight hundred million years within about more point the is of the big bend. We've come back very early now with these observations. Then we've combine these observations. There is only one Chrysler in Sun Saddam's his Labor four measurements along the line of sight and those four measurements we've combined with a bunch of measurements previously closer to us in time. If you I and then look to see what happens to the directional signal the walls already hinted the data and the Council cow away. You know the NATO the points that consisted by themselves through anything it's still tend to push me to tantalizing but we got the same directionality and the it doesn't is certainly these. New Measurement certainly do not conflict with the suggestion that could be a direction not to the universe in fact a directionality signal is preferred of Nanda rationality. When you take the date say as a whole so. That's what new we've got. We've got measurements which go much earlier. Tomo distant from a concept to the time and they continue to support the idea of his notion that there could be a direction novelty in the laws of physics crack for new. So what this is telling us. Is that if you look in one direction. The value the fine structure constant is different to what it is in another direction. And if you look in other directions it matches what the existing figures for the fine structure constant Dr Ryan and the interesting thing is we have a new aspect of this since we lost little time ago. That addicted actually. Yeah I know time flies. Yeah the other interesting thing is that they've been a bunch of emission. Snow this nick. Nick measurement is the punch their measurements involving the cosmic microwave background the oak the flow of loss under the Galaxy. Supernova measurements in the McKenna's observation x ray emission from galaxy clusters and so forth. There's a bunch of other types of rations which completely independent of the of work on during the fine structure constant directing buffalo's physics but involve distribution of matter and these things also suggest the direction of the house individually each one none of them especially contending although statistically significant to some level but they all seem to line over sky within the arrows. There's still big but it's a very interesting situation. Now there's a chocolate it's a huge cosmic conspiracy or cosmic fluke and which is just one of those things but on the other hand something that really does need storing there. Is this apparent coincidence between a bunch of different measurements and the fine structure one which we originally published back in two thousand and first of all. We suggested that there was sort of that since then. All these other takes points being added so it's a really interesting situation. The fact that these things are happening using different methods of observation that's significant because if you're getting the same results using the same method then that's one thing but if you're getting the same sort of results the same observations by using different methods. That's actually very significant that starts to become something needs. Urgent Investigation Shirley. Yeah the paper. A while back by Greek authors of pulling together assessed I have a whole the statistical significance and it was looking pretty compelling but suddenly statistically significance that we up to the three sigma level yet or something like that well whereabout three sigma. We've just our amish. Wow and individually. Most of these are about that but you know the kind of the gold standard. If you like is is often taken. Us FIVE-SET YES when we're up to five six with this with this collection of measurement or not. I don't know I haven't looked into that on practice completely on the work that I'm doing which is trying to get this measurements. I can find structure constant. And we're the IT's actually pretty. Maybe about Muslim that for our listeners. Five Sigma was enough to give us. The Higgs bows on being. There is existing is being real. So you're obviously very close. It's an important point in this research. You're right five. Six is what got people convinced about. Expose on getting their luckily. There's some fantastic new instrumentation coming along and new facilities which means this means that we really can improve the data. He just takes time a lot of efforts that new instrument on the European supplements few Bart which has a new means of calibrating data. It's the data was precise. The new data is far more precise. Data's coming alone. We're getting better measurements. A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. We actually had time to make new measurements on all four. Voc's once this was unprecedented acting week. All for eighty two Tokyo were hooked up by optical fiber and each optical fiber was then brought together into one instrument to observe one Quasar to get a very high signal to noise good signal on that one craze. We've got that day to the observations with successful. We working on that at the moment we have announced yet. But that's coming. Just what one of the new things coming the national? The we're talking about came from another instrument on the OT X. shooter which is an infrared instrument infrared observations of this sort of been catching up with the optical ones. It's hard to build these high high precision high sensitivity instruments in the parade but the technology has called venture investor. That's what this new papers. About infrared measurement and go right back to within eight years that they explain the fine structure constant to us is a dimension ratio three quantities. It involves planks constant the speed of light and the charge on the electron and it's a dimension ratio involving those three quantities. The fact that is mentioned less has no units is very important because it means is more fundamental than a quantity like for example the speed of light which mentions so. This is the source of quantity that people like me focus on because she needs the units to make the measurement settle is the number of physicists. Used to Kerama tries to provide a measure of the strength of the electromagnetic force. There are four forces that we know about electromagnetism and gravity and then the two forces that act inside atoms the weak force and so it turns out that electro-magnetic force by the fine structure constantly the one that we can perhaps most easily make measurements all. And it's a constant which means it should be the same everywhere and this research is showing that there's a growing possibility that it's not that really is GonNa be affecting the foundation stones of our understanding of physics. That's right the sixty we've using for a very long time based on the assumption that the laws of physics of the same throughout the history of the universe that the same everywhere. If you take unsigned Syria. Gravity for example. It's based on. What's given the unstuck equivalence principle? Which states that? The Laws of physics always kind of thing that assumption makes it easier for them to build equations which gives us predicted power amish described the observations that night at the universe us without those assumptions. Everything gets very much harder. It's very appealing to have these simplifications built into standard models of physics but since if occasion is necessarily of the real universe it may be. It may not be a modern theories. String theory is permits by have that option built into them but the fundamental constants should vary put. It might be slightly differently in these new series of everything that nothing that stops with demento constantly changing nothing fundamental to stop changing and so many theoreticians actually expect that at some level we to see sort of changes and constructed new theoretical models to describe how the standard model does have its problems. It can't explain dark energy and it can't explain that matter at least not yet. That's got to be a hint that has to be new physics beyond what we know. I would have that. Everyone would agree with that statement. You're right the standard model of cosmology works very well. How if and only if most of the energy content of the universe is not in the form of protons neutrons electrons the stuff that we had it has to be in the form of energy and matter as well without those assumptions. You can't make the standard both work so there is certainly something new that we don't know about the model is wrong or these things stock a g dark matter do exist for something at some point. We'll keep dark. Energy couldn't just be a example of the CASIMIR effect on a cosmic scale and dot matter isn't just a new type of Neutrino that we haven't discovered yet. Or maybe it isn't. Maybe there is an axiom. Although the evidence doesn't seem to point to that people keep on placing upper limit some different candidates Sadat politics and the trouble is that you know even when you add up all of the upper limits. You can't quite get to the amount of dot master that you need to explain. The observations of economic see rotation cuts and various other teams rate. Yeah seventy dollars off found yet. There's lots of candidates. I guess most people would regard the mats and not as the worst mystery be like talking to g is because they really don't know go is Really don't have a coup as to what talking G is on the other hand it. He's in support of the sound. Will Idiots fascinating? The Standard Model has so many incredible successes and works so very well in many different ways. We get amazing predictions from the models which pre date the abundances elements to a significant extent. Universe down appeared creaky isotopic with discussing whether it's tropic diapers is attributed to within one part in one hundred thousand completely. You know there. There is a residual civilian CNBC Day. To which is not yet been explained completely and there are all these groups.

You can't make the standard both work so there is certainly something new that we don't know about the model is wrong or these things stock a g dark matter do exist for something at some point. We'll keep dark. Energy couldn't just be a example of the CASIMIR effect on a cosmic scale and dot matter isn't just a new type of Neutrino that we haven't discovered yet. Or maybe it isn't. Maybe there is an axiom. Although the evidence doesn't seem to point to that people keep on placing upper limit some different candidates Sadat politics and the trouble is that you know even when you add up all of the upper limits. You can't quite get to the amount of dot master that you need to explain. The observations of economic see rotation cuts and various other teams rate. Yeah seventy dollars off found yet. There's lots of candidates. I guess most people would regard the mats and not as the worst mystery be like talking to g is because they really don't know go is Really don't have a coup as to what talking G is on the other hand it. He's in support of the sound. Will Idiots fascinating? The Standard Model has so many incredible successes and works so very well in many different ways. We get amazing predictions from the models which pre date the abundances elements to a significant extent. Universe down appeared creaky isotopic with discussing whether it's tropic diapers is attributed to within one part in one hundred thousand completely. You know there. There is a residual civilian CNBC Day. To which is not yet been explained completely and there are all these groups. Relations releasing to the Hubble constant doesn't work in the same Bay and when compared to other measurements of distant supernovae interest in the many papers which looked to see whether there is a direction in the SUPERNOVA data..

Floating elements (etwa: schwimmende Elemente) sind ein Mittel, um die Korrektion der Abbildungsfehler eines Objektivs an die eingestellte Entfernung anzupassen. Dies erfolgt durch Verändern des axialen Abstands der Linsen voneinander.

Floating elements wurden in den 1970er Jahren eingeführt und kommen häufig bei hochwertigen lichtstarken Weitwinkelobjektiven zum Einsatz. Man bezeichnet diese Technik auch als floating focusing oder (automatischen) Korrektionsausgleich. Die Bezeichnung automatisch bedeutet hierbei, dass die Verstellung des Linsenabstands an die Entfernungseinstellung gekoppelt ist, so dass sich immer die richtige Korrektion ergibt.

Die Entfernungseinstellung erfolgt bei konventionellen Objektiven meistens dadurch, dass das ganze Objektiv axial verschoben wird, ohne dass sich die Abstände der Linsen ändern, da dies mechanisch am einfachsten ist. Die Korrektion der Abbildungsfehler erfolgt normalerweise für unendliche Entfernung des abzubildenden Objekts. Wenn die Entfernung geringer ist, verändert sich der Strahlengang so, dass die Abbildungsfehler zunehmen. Dieses Problem tritt am stärksten bei lichtstarken Weitwinkelobjektiven auf. Wenn man die Korrektion andererseits als Kompromiss für alle einstellbaren Entfernungen durchführt, dann wird die Bildqualität bei Unendlich entsprechend etwas schlechter. Dem kann man entgegenwirken, indem zwei (selten auch mehr) Linsengruppen bei der Fokussierung unabhängig voneinander bewegt werden. Dies ergibt zusätzliche Freiheitsgrade für die Korrektion, so dass man den verschiedenen Entfernungen besser gerecht werden kann.

Vorteilhaft ist dabei auch, dass der maximale Abbildungsmaßstab größer werden kann, da die Abbildungsfehler bei kürzeren Entfernungen nicht mehr so stark zunehmen. Nachteilig ist aber natürlich der größere mechanische Aufwand. Die Mechanik, die die Linsen gegeneinander verschiebt, muss besonders genau arbeiten, damit die Linsen nicht zu stark dezentriert (seitlich gegeneinander verschoben oder verkippt) werden. Dies würde die Korrektion der Abbildungsfehler empfindlich stören.

Let's be honest. You're already more than familiar with UK farming and the EU referendum debate.
From politicians arguing until they're blue in the face, to perhaps the most bizarre naval battle the UK has ever seen, this is likely to be remembered as one of the most fiercely contended and controversial issues of our generation.
And that's before we get into topic of agriculture and farming.
But if you're still not sure about how you'll vote (you certainly aren't alone), then here's some food for thought on the run up to 23 June.
More than 63% of the UK's agricultural exports go directly to the EU – making it the largest and arguably most important market for our farming industry.
The EU also provides significant subsidies to British farmers, totaling around £2.4bn in 2015 alone.
But that doesn't make the decision for farmers so clear cut.
According to a BBC study, a significant number of UK farmers are still undecided about how exactly to vote.
Those who believe the EU hinders UK farming, for example, argue we'd be better off in a single market – allowing us to trade internationally, without Brussels' infamous bureaucracy. And as for those EU subsidies, there's the suggestion they'd be unnecessary if the EU wasn't around to drive up market prices in the first place.
So what does that mean for people who are undecided?
Well, according to a poll taken just last week, farmers who're currently sitting on the fence are more likely to vote 'Remain' on the big day. Interestingly, this trend towards last-minute decision making seems to be reflected across the UK. It's been estimated that as many as ⅓ of UK voters will make up their mind in the last week of referendum campaigning.
Economic uncertainty is perhaps the most significant driving force – with Peter Kendall, former NFU president, arguing the referendum has become the 'biggest experiment of our lives'.
And that seems to be the crux of the issue for many voters.
The NFU has publicly stated that it won't campaign in the lead up to the EU referendum. Uncertainty – or perhaps a lack of reliable information – means that there's been no consensus about how either outcome will impact UK farming.
So, it's little surprise that David Cameron has been making 11th-hour visits to Britain's farmers to help persuade them to vote 'Remain'.
This report by The Guardian quotes a number of fishermen and women in Appledore, Devon who want out. One poignant element of this report is the claim that foreign boats, in this case namely Belgian vessels, can come into UK waters, take UK fish and then sell it back to us.
According to this BBC report, Brexit could mean that the UK would have more control of UK waters. The key thing to note about this report, which cites a House of Commons library paper, it would depend on what the UK Government decided to do post-Brexit – there's currently no defined outcome.
Another factor worth noting too, is that if Brexit happens and the UK Government decides to allow EU vessels access to UK waters as part of its exit negotiations, we'd need to maintain a very close relationship with the EU for the foreseeable future in order to monitor the negotiated catch limits, so not a lot would change right away.
When Greenland left the European Economic Community in 1982, fishing was a big part of the negotiation. Greenland eventually secured tariff-free to access (one of the proposed benefits of remaining in the EU) to the EEC market, but in return it had to continue to to allow European vessels access to its own waters.
At this stage, it's extremely difficult to say how the vote will go on 23 June. If you need more information, or would like to learn more about the key issues impacting your industry, we'd recommend having a look at gov.uk.
What's your take on the EU referendum? How do you think it'll impact our agricultural industry?

Madison native Karlin Younger received some national attention recently for her quick work in finding and reporting a pipe bomb near the Republican National Committee offices in Washington D.C. Karlin is a proud former City employee and I wanted to honor her with this Mayoral Proclamation and recognize her as an Honorary #TeamCity Award Winner.
WHEREAS, Karlin Younger, grew up in Madison's Bay Creek neighborhood and graduated from West High School in 2002. After earning her undergrad degree at UW Madison in International Relations, she worked in China, studied at Oxford and worked in London before returning to the United States and eventually settling in Washington D.C. to work for the U.S. Department of Commerce, and
WHEREAS, Ms. Younger is particularly proud of her ties to her hometown of Madison and, in fact, was employed by the City of Madison Public Library for six years as a page who kept our libraries organized and efficient, and
WHEREAS, Ms. Younger reports that, thanks to the people and the old pneumatic request tubes, working in the Lower Stacks of Madison's Central Library was probably the coolest jobs she's ever had, an
WHEREAS, On Wednesday, January 6th Ms. Younger was working remotely on the Dept. of Commerce's FirstNet project, a communications network dedicated to first responders from her apartment a few of blocks from the U.S. Capitol; and
WHEREAS, At lunchtime, Ms. Younger decided to check on her laundry, which required her to walk to the back of her building adjacent to the Republican National Committee (RNC) building, and
WHEREAS, Because she is very observant, she saw what she initially thought was recycling but with a closer look discovered what appeared to be a pipe bomb apparently set to explode in twenty minutes, and
WHEREAS, She immediately reported the device to a guard at the RNC and local law enforcement who evacuated the block and disarmed the device with a water cannon and quickly discovered another device near the Democratic National Committee headquarters, and
WHEREAS, January 6th will live in infamy as a day in which an armed mobbed overran the U.S. Capitol and Ms. Younger's swift action prevented further injuries and deaths on that terrible day, and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That I, Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, thank Karlin Younger for her quick work and calm head, which resulted in the preservation of life and safety; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, and that Karlin Younger is an honorary permanent member of TeamCity.

The Arizona Cardinals (3-11) host the Los Angeles Rams (11-3) on Sunday in an NFC West battle. Kickoff is set for 4:05 PM EST on December 23rd at State Farm Stadium and the game will be broadcast on FOX.
Oddsmakers opened this game up with the Rams listed as 14-point road favorites. That line shifted hasn't moved at all after early betting, as Los Angeles is currently available at -14. The total for this matchup is 47.5 points. Click here for a full look at the Week 16 NFL odds and for more links to our individual game previews.
Los Angeles has now lost two straight games after a disappointing 30-23 home loss against Philadelphia last weekend. The Rams gave up 17 unanswered points to the Eagles in the 3rd quarter after heading into the locker room at halftime tied 13-13. The defeat was definitely a wake up call for L.A., as they also struggled back in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. QB Jared Goff did play quite well in a losing cause last Sunday, going 35 of 53 for 339 yards. However, he also failed to find the end zone and threw a costly interception. RB Todd Gurley only rushed for 48 yards on 12 carries, although he did score two rushing touchdowns as well. Gurley's status for Week 16 is still up in the air, as he is currently questionable due to an inflamed knee. Overall, Los Angeles is currently averaging 32.0 points per game (3rd overall) on 421.4 yards of total offense.
The Rams haven't looked quite as impressive on the other side of the ball through their first fourteen games, giving up an average of 24.5 points per game (20th overall) on 363.1 total yards of offense. They have struggled the most against the run, as opponents are currently averaging 123.3 yards per game on the ground (21st overall).
Arizona has also lost two consecutive games after getting crushed 40-14 on the road by Atlanta in Week 15. The Cardinals were badly outplayed on both sides of the ball, allowing Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to combine for 82 yards and a touchdown while also giving up 145 yards and a touchdown to Tevin Coleman on just 11 carries. They also haven't played well offensively as of late, as QB Josh Rosen was just 13/22 for 132 yards and no touchdowns. Rosen also got picked off twice in the loss, one of which was returned for a touchdown. RB David Johnson racked up over 100 total yards and also found the end zone, but his performances as of late have been hit or miss depending upon the opposition. As a whole, Arizona is currently averaging a league-worst 13.7 points per game on just 243.1 total yards of offense.
The Cardinals have also been pretty bad defensively for most of the regular season, as they are currently giving up 26.2 points per game (25th overall) on 356.4 total yards of offense. They have been especially bad against the run, as opponents are currently averaging an alarming 144.9 yards per game on the ground (30th overall).
Even if Todd Gurley is ultimately held on Sunday to get some extra time to rest and recover for a potentially long playoff run, I still like the Rams to cover the spread in this particular spot. Arizona has not played well all season long, especially on defense where they have consistently been one of the NFL's worst teams. Los Angeles will also be hungry to get some momentum going before the end of the regular season, as they have now lost two games in a row for the first time all season. Goff and Co. will certainly be able to move the ball up and down the field with relative ease against Arizona, so I'm expecting Robert Woods and the rest of the L.A. receivers to have big games through the air.
The Cardinals are only 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. They are also a brutal 1-4 ATS over their last five meetings with Los Angeles. The Rams are a rock-solid 4-2 ATS in their last six visits to State Farm Stadium. They are also 8-2 straight up over their last ten games overall.
It is also worth noting that the favorite is a perfect 4-0 ATS over the last four meetings between these two teams, which certainly bodes well for Los Angeles. I am fully expecting that trend to continue here in Week 16, so I'm going to lay the two touchdowns and side with the road favorite to cover in what should be a complete blowout.

Q: How to change backGround color in Xamarin forms NavigationPage I'm trying to change the background color of navigationBar in navigationPage I'm using this code:
using System;
using System;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace P
{
public class App : Application
{
    public App ()
    {
 MainPage = new NavigationPage(new LoginPage());
    }
    protected override void OnStart ()
    {
    }
    protected override void OnSleep ()
    {
    }
    protected override void OnResume ()
    {
        // Handle when your app resumes
    }
   }
  }

how can I do it?

A: Just set the BarBackgroundColor property of the NavigationPage instance:
new NavigationPage(new LoginPage()) { BarBackgroundColor = Color.Green };

A: If you want to setup a global style in xaml, you could something similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Application xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Class="Sample.App">
    <Application.Resources>

        <ResourceDictionary>
            <Style TargetType="NavigationPage">
                <Setter Property="BarBackgroundColor" Value="#ff5733"/>
                <Setter Property="BarTextColor" Value="White"/>
            </Style>
        </ResourceDictionary>

    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

A: If you want to change the NavigationBar BackgroundColor on each page with a different color. You can do the following on the Codebehinds of each page/view.
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;

namespace NewApp.Cross.Views
{
    [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
    public partial class NewView : ContentPage
    {
        public NewView()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Title = "PageTitle"

            NavigationPage.SetHasBackButton(this, false);

            ((NavigationPage)Application.Current.MainPage).BarBackgroundColor = Color.Black;
            ((NavigationPage)Application.Current.MainPage).BarTextColor = Color.OrangeRed;
        }
    }
}

It works on Android and iOS.

A: <Application.Resources>

    <ResourceDictionary>
        <!--Global Styles-->
        <Color x:Key="NavigationPrimary">Green</Color>
        <Style TargetType="NavigationPage">
            <Setter Property="BarBackgroundColor" Value="{StaticResource NavigationPrimary}" />
            <Setter Property="BarTextColor" Value="White" />
        </Style>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

*

*basically go to App.xaml

*paste this code there

*change the colour however u want in this part
Green

Constructor Injection in spring is performed by Spring IoC container by invoking the constructor of Object with number of arguments, each object represents dependency. Dependency Injection is the process where each object define their dependencies with different injection methods.
One of them is Constructor based dependency Injection. Constructor based dependency Injection is nearly equivalent to calling a static factory method in order to construct the bean.
Below is a Simple POJO class that has no dependencies (loose coupled).
Constructor argument resolution matching occurs using the arguments type. When we pass arguments to the constructor, then container try to match their type. And the order in which we supply the arguments to the constructor during the bean definition is the order of supplied arguments.
Similarly you can pass simple types such as int, float, String values to constructor. But There is one thing need to understand in case of these types that is in case of reference, the type is known but in case of simple argument, the type is not determined by the container.
So in that case, we need to pass the type values as well.
You can also specify the index or order in which arguments should be resolved by IoC container.
Another method is to use names instead of type or index as following.

Virginia Bell offers services as a skilled and creative workshop leader who brings years of classroom experience to the adult and peer workshop environment. She also works one-on-one as a poetry "coach" with writers as well as artists working in other media, e.g. photographers, jazz vocalists and song writers.

"'It Is Nothing Like That': Conversations Between Poems and Why We Should Be Eavesdropping"
"Making Whoopee: The Use of Idiom in American Poetry"
"The Synoptic Moment: The Beginning, Middle, and End of Poems"
"I never miss a workshop that Virginia Bell leads. Her presentation of new material is both thorough and fresh; most recently, she discussed the stanza as architecture and how the poem moves as if from room to room. Virginia truly steers the discussion, leading the group to give feedback that will help the poet rethink or rewrite, and she begins the critiquing with a positive spin—a discussion of what is working. She is aware of the nuances in the room even in a large group. I think it is her energy at the table and her subject-matter expertise that impress me most; she is very present. Virginia is well-versed in both poetic art and craft, and her style is inclusive and encouraging."


At the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Project Kahn will be unveiling two new vehicles, one of which is the White and Black Project Kahn Range Rover Sport SVR Pace Car First Edition known as the Capital City Edition.
The new custom-tailored high-performance SUV will be rolling into the Swiss city oozing with prestige and style. Owner and Lead Designer, Afzal Kahn, took the already imposing factory SUV to the next level by giving it the special Project Kahn touch.
The new Project Kahn Range Rover SVR Pace Car First Edition Capital City is bolder than ever before. A new front bumper spoiler and splitter combo reflects the SUV's supercharged V-8 performance while the wider front and rear fenders with integrated air dams give it a commanding presence. At the rear, there's a new tailgate panel, valence with integrated exhaust tips, and a three-piece aero wing. Beneath those extended wheel arches sit a new set of 23-inch Forged Pace Car Wheels with custom color detailing to match the two-tone Capital City edition Pace Car.
But the team at Project Kahn didn't there; they gave the interior the full custom-tailored treatment. Here, in-house craftsmen gave the Range Rover Sport SVR Pace Car First Capital City edition a full quilted and perforated leather upholstery including the factory sport seats for a comfortable ride that's pleasing to the eyes.
The new Project Kahn Range Rover Sport SVR Pace Car First Capital City edition will be on display at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. Project Kahn will also customize a customer's Range Rover Sport SVR to their liking as well.
Do you like the new design of the Project Kahn Range Rover Sport SVR Pace Car Capital City Edition?

Come kayak this remarkably beautiful estuary, which retains substantial tidal marshes on Lazarus Island northeast of our launch site and west of Dean Point. Nehalem Bay State Park boarders most of the northern shoreline, offering a untouched and natural presentation of the surrounding wildlife areas. From your kayak you are likely to see anything from Eagles to Elk, as well as evidence of shrimp, clams, and oysters.
A diversity of other life like white sturgeon, American shad, striped bass, and Pacific lamprey also inhabit the area. This waterway is part of the Pacific Flyway, one of four major migratory routes in North America, and its natural habitat is an outstanding area for birdwatching while paddling. California Brown Pelicans return in the summer, while winter presents large groups of waterfowl like as buffleheads and widgeons.


I don't get much time to update the website yet alone the blog, but this project is too special to not write about.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to be able to work some magic with the #58 Fabcar Daytona Prototype.
More info soon to follow. Stay tuned.
Impressive. That car is in good hands. Good luck and post up more info!
Updates? I want to see more pics of that thing!

Spamming the Analytics data of websites is now an old practice. It's better known as Referral Spam, and I have written about this in the past at multiple times. Purely a black hat practice, I doubt whether it would give great returns.
Yes, it would give traffic to the spammer, but how does that really translate into revenue. Or is the tactic hoping to drive gullible folks by the hordes?
The referral spam industry for some reason also loves to send the geographical position as Samara. For those of you who are noticing this now, here's how the tactic works.
The obvious report to check this out would be the Source / Medium in the Acquisition section.
The rest, would not be history, it would be a scam.
How should I combat this?
Raven Tools has a comprehensive article on combating Referral spam. They have listed multiple methods to ensure that this spammy data is not accounted for in your analytics data.
Personally, I allow the data to reside in my Master Data View. The reason behind that is – since I do not look at aggregate data anyways (I prefer lots and lots of custom segments), I am not too bothered with that data! I do however, mark it as a annotation on my GA. That's the advice I would give to anyone.
This post is part of the thread: Samara Oblast – an ongoing story on this site. View the thread timeline for more context on this post.
Some months back, I noticed a trend in the Google Analytics data of all the sites I monitor. It was Referral Bots leaving behind a spammy domain with the hopes of the webmaster will visit that domain out of curiosity. I wrote about this Black Hat tactic of Referral Bots as well.
Saturday is the day when I take a hot steaming cup of coffee and start looking at how my blog has fared over the week. This is one time which I allot to all personal projects. As some of these projects come to a closure, I would be more than happy to talk about these here.


Cooking on an induction cooktop has become increasingly popular in recent years. This form of electric cooking isn't only very fast, but also safe and economical. In this article, I explain what induction cooking is, what the pros and cons are, and what you need for it.
Which pans do I need?
Do not know if you want induction or ceramic?
With induction cooking, not the cooktop, but the pan itself is heated. If the cooktop is on but there's no pan on it, nothing happens. If you remove your pan from the cooktop after cooking, it switches off automatically. After cooking, the cooktop does have some residual heat, but it cools down quickly. An induction cooktop heats your pan quickly, but because you choose the setting yourself, an induction cooktop is also suitable for when you want to slowly simmer food.
You lose little energy because only the pan is heated.
The cooktop cools quickly after use and switches off when there's no pan on it.
The cooktop is quick and easy to clean.
The induction cooktop heats your pan quickly.
You need a connector that can supply enough electricity.
You need pans that are suitable for an induction cooktop.
Not very suitable for stir-fry meals.
Is often a bit more expensive than other types of cooktops.
Because an induction cooktop requires a lot of power, it is important that you have a cooker circuit that provides sufficient electricity. If this isn't present in your home, you can have it installed. I advise you to have this done by an electrician, because it's a dangerous job if you don't understand it. There are also a few cooktops that can be used with a regular socket, but these are much less powerful.
Do I have the right connector for my electric cooktop?
In addition, it's important to have pans that are suitable for induction. The bottom of the pan must be magnetic so that it makes contact with the cooktop and thus becomes hot. It's also important that the bottom of your pans is straight. If you've cooked on gas, chances are that the bottom of your pan is slightly distorted and is therefore not recognized by the cooktop. That's why I recommend to purchase induction pans. These don't have to be very expensive and we also carry them in our assortment.
Induction and ceramic both fall under an electric hob. Yet there are differences between these 2 types. An induction cooker heats up much faster, is more energy-efficient and is safer because the plate cools down again at the end. You do not need special pans for a ceramic hob. However, this hob needs time before it is hot and stays hot for a long time after cooking.
What's the difference between a ceramic and induction cooktop?
Do I want a gas cooktop or induction cooktop?

Spartan Newsroom (https://news.jrn.msu.edu/2010/10/programs-seek-to-help-struggling-workers/)
Programs seek to help struggling workers
By Capital News Service | October 1, 2010
By TRENTON JOHNSON
LANSING—While the economy remains in a downward spiral, many employed workers and their families are struggling to make ends meet and are seeking help from organizations and agencies.
This problem is occurring throughout Michigan, including the northern Lower Peninsula, experts say.
Why are employed families struggling like unemployed families?
Sharon Parks, president of the Michigan League for Human Services, said, "There is a ripple effect from the auto industry which is displacing blue-collar and white-collar workers."
The league is a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy and advocacy organization dedicated to ensuring that Michigan's low-income residents achieve economic security.
Parks said some families are making it on one spouse's salary or getting unemployment benefits, and some laid-off workers found jobs that don't pay as well as the ones they lost.
Figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the rate of unemployment for Emmet County jumped from 13.7 percent in the second quarter of 2009 to 15.3 for the same period this year. In Wexford County, it inched up from 16.7 in 2009 to 16.9. In Alpena County, it rose slightly from 13.6 to 13.8. In Grand Traverse County, it grew from 11.6 to 12.4.
Judy Putnam, communications director for the league, said, "Oakland County used to be one of the richest counties in the country and now they're having trouble as well."
Oakland County, with an unemployment rate of 12.5 percent for that period in 2009, had a rate of 12.9 this year.
In many cases, Parks said, families that lose jobs also lose health benefits and must pay for health care or health insurance out of pocket.
Parks said families apply for Medicaid as the next step.
And many of available jobs don't pay enough to keep a family out of poverty, she said.
Help is offered to struggling employed families at service centers across Michigan, including Traverse City and Petoskey.
Kristy Pescoe, resource center assistant at the Traverse City center, said, "The service centers help people look for employment by helping them get jobs that they want."
Pescoe said workshops cover financial aid, career advising, job seeking, effective communication, conflict management, resume writing and interviewing.
Pescoe said each service center offers something different. For example, Petoskey and Traverse City hold many of the same workshops, but Traverse City also offers workshops on professionalism and ethics and business start-up and Petoskey offers one on leadership.
Also available through the centers is the No Worker Left Behind program, which provides up to two years of free tuition in a high-demand or emerging industries at any Michigan university, community college and a number of training programs.
Eligible individuals must be unemployed, have received a notice of layoff or termination from their employer or are employed but with a family income no higher than $40,000 a year.
Pescoe of the Traverse City center said the state is working to improve adult learning for these families.
Pescoe said they include strategies for increasing basic skills, building clear connections between learning and the promise of good jobs, making it easier for adults to reach their goals and increasing the availability of adult learning.
Pescoe said each county belongs to a regional partnership whose members cooperate to make occupational and basic skill training more accessible to workers with low skills.

More Michigan residents get food assistance, figures show
By NYSSA RABINOWITZ
LANSING – The number of Michigan residents on food assistance has continued to increased dramatically, rising to a monthly average of about 860,000 cases in the last 11 months from about 695,000 cases in a similar period a year earlier, according to the Department of Human Services (DHS). About 42 percent of recipients are children, DHS reported.

Can you believe Jon never saw 1984's Sixteen Candles? Can you believe he has no nostalgia for it? Can you believe a man can fly? Can you believe Ali's never seen Superman IV: The Quest For Peace? Can you believe Jon forgot to talk about the vast disparity in quality of the music in this movie? Can you believe how much casual racism, sexism, and homophobia is in this coming of age tale?
Sixteen Candles was written and directed by John Hughes and stars Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Michael Schoeffling, Gedde Watanabe, Havilland Morris, the 'sacks (John AND Joan), and is very much carried by the great Paul Dooley.


Have you ever noticed your dog or cat lying on a cool surface? They're trying to cool themselves down. When you're playing outside and your dog finds a shady spot, let him. Animals naturally gravitate to the shade when they're hot. And remember, they don't wear shoes – so imagine how hot the concrete or asphalt is when it's been baking in the sun all afternoon. A walk in a shaded forest is a much better choice than a walk through the city.
Try to avoid taking your pets outdoors during the hottest time of day. The scorching mid-afternoon sun can cause health issues very quickly. Try to plan your outdoor activities in the early morning or in the evening once the sun has gone down.
Pets can dehydrate quickly – especially on a hot day.
•Make sure they have plenty of fresh water available. If you're thirsty on a hot day, chances are your pets are too.
•Ice cubes or frozen broth make a great hydrating treat for dogs.
You wouldn't go outside on a summer day wearing your winter parka! Imagine how your dog feels. Depending on the breed, some dogs benefit from a summer haircut. Even frequent brushing can help eliminate loose fur and prevent your pet from overheating.
Animal health experts encourage all pet owners to be mindful of their pet's health, especially in the summer. Some breeds with flat-shaped faces like pugs, bulldogs, and terriers can't pant as well as other breeds. These dogs should be inside on extremely hot days. Pets that are overweight, elderly, or have other medical conditions should also be kept indoors.

[![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/ExcelDataReader.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ExcelDataReader)

Lightweight and fast library written in C# for reading Microsoft Excel files (2.0-2007).

Please feel free to fork and submit pull requests to the develop branch.

If you are reporting an issue it is really useful if you can supply an example Excel file as this makes debugging much easier and without it we may not be able to resolve any problems.

## Continuous integration

| Branch  | Build status |

## Finding the binaries

It is recommended to use NuGet through the VS Package Manager Console `Install-Package <package>` or using the VS "Manage NuGet Packages..." extension.

As of ExcelDataReader version 3.0, the project was split into multiple packages:

Install the `ExcelDataReader` base package to use the "low level" reader interface. Compatible with net20, net45, netstandard1.3 and netstandard2.0.

Install the `ExcelDataReader.DataSet` extension package to use the `AsDataSet()` method to populate a `System.Data.DataSet`. This will also pull in the base package. Compatible with net20, net45 and netstandard2.0.

## How to use

```c#
using (var stream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
    // Auto-detect format, supports:
    //  - Binary Excel files (2.0-2003 format; *.xls)
    //  - OpenXml Excel files (2007 format; *.xlsx, *.xlsb)
    using (var reader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateReader(stream))
    {
        // Choose one of either 1 or 2:

        // 1. Use the reader methods
        do
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                // reader.GetDouble(0);
            }
        } while (reader.NextResult());

        // 2. Use the AsDataSet extension method
        var result = reader.AsDataSet();

        // The result of each spreadsheet is in result.Tables
    }
}
```

### Reading .CSV files

Use `ExcelReaderFactory.CreateCsvReader` instead of `CreateReader` to parse a stream of plain text with comma separated values.

See also the configuration options `FallbackEncoding` and `AutodetectSeparators`.

The input CSV is always parsed once completely to set FieldCount, RowCount, Encoding, Separator (or twice if the CSV lacks BOM and is not UTF8), and then parsed once again while iterating the row records. Throws `System.Text.DecoderFallbackException` if the input cannot be parsed with the specified encoding.

The reader returns all CSV field values as strings and makes no attempts to convert the data to numbers or dates. This caller is responsible for interpreting the CSV data.

### Using the reader methods

The `AsDataSet()` extension method is a convenient helper for quickly getting the data, but is not always available or desirable to use. IExcelDataReader extends the `System.Data.IDataReader` and `IDataRecord` interfaces to navigate and retrieve data at a lower level. The most important reader methods and properties:

- `Read()` reads a row from the current sheet.
- `NextResult()` advances the cursor to the next sheet.
- `ResultsCount` returns the number of sheets in the current workbook.
- `Name` returns the name of the current sheet.
- `CodeName` returns the VBA code name identifier of the current sheet.
- `FieldCount` returns the number of columns in the current sheet.
- `RowCount` returns the number of rows in the current sheet. This includes terminal empty rows which are otherwise excluded by AsDataSet(). Throws `InvalidOperationException` on CSV files when used with `AnalyzeInitialCsvRows`.
- `HeaderFooter` returns an object with information about the headers and footers, or `null` if there are none.
- `MergeCells` returns an array of merged cell ranges in the current sheet.
- `RowHeight` returns the visual height of the current row in points. May be 0 if the row is hidden.
- `GetColumnWidth()` returns the width of a column in character units. May be 0 if the column is hidden.
- `GetFieldType()` returns the type of a value in the current row. Always one of the types supported by Excel: `double`, `int`, `bool`, `DateTime`, `TimeSpan`, `string`, or `null` if there is no value.
- `IsDBNull()` checks if a value in the current row is null.
- `GetValue()` returns a value from the current row as an `object`, or `null` if there is no value.
- `GetDouble()`, `GetInt32()`, `GetBoolean()`, `GetDateTime()`, `GetString()` return a value from the current row cast to their respective type.
- `GetNumberFormatString()` returns a string containing the formatting codes for a value in the current row, or `null` if there is no value. See also the Formatting section below.
- `GetNumberFormatIndex()` returns the number format index for a value in the current row. Index values below 164 refer to built-in number formats, otherwise indicate a custom number format.
- `GetCellStyle()` returns an object containing style information for a cell in the current row: indent, horizontal alignment, hidden, locked.
- The typed `Get*()` methods throw `InvalidCastException` unless the types match exactly.

### CreateReader() configuration options

The `ExcelReaderFactory.CreateReader()`, `CreateBinaryReader()`, `CreateOpenXmlReader()`, `CreateCsvReader()` methods accept an optional configuration object to modify the behavior of the reader:

```c#
var reader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateReader(stream, new ExcelReaderConfiguration()
{
    // Gets or sets the encoding to use when the input XLS lacks a CodePage
    // record, or when the input CSV lacks a BOM and does not parse as UTF8.
    // Default: cp1252 (XLS BIFF2-5 and CSV only)
    FallbackEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252),

    // Gets or sets the password used to open password protected workbooks.
    Password = "password",

    // Gets or sets an array of CSV separator candidates. The reader
    // autodetects which best fits the input data. Default: , ; TAB | #
    // (CSV only)
    AutodetectSeparators = new char[] { ',', ';', '\t', '|', '#' },

    // Gets or sets a value indicating whether to leave the stream open after
    // the IExcelDataReader object is disposed. Default: false
    LeaveOpen = false,

    // Gets or sets a value indicating the number of rows to analyze for
    // encoding, separator and field count in a CSV. When set, this option
    // causes the IExcelDataReader.RowCount property to throw an exception.
    // Default: 0 - analyzes the entire file (CSV only, has no effect on other
    // formats)
    AnalyzeInitialCsvRows = 0,
});
```

### AsDataSet() configuration options

The `AsDataSet()` method accepts an optional configuration object to modify the behavior of the DataSet conversion:

```c#
var result = reader.AsDataSet(new ExcelDataSetConfiguration()
{
    // Gets or sets a value indicating whether to set the DataColumn.DataType
    // property in a second pass.
    UseColumnDataType = true,

    // Gets or sets a callback to determine whether to include the current sheet
    // in the DataSet. Called once per sheet before ConfigureDataTable.
    FilterSheet = (tableReader, sheetIndex) => true,

    // Gets or sets a callback to obtain configuration options for a DataTable.
    ConfigureDataTable = (tableReader) => new ExcelDataTableConfiguration()
    {
        // Gets or sets a value indicating the prefix of generated column names.
        EmptyColumnNamePrefix = "Column",

        // Gets or sets a value indicating whether to use a row from the
        // data as column names.
        UseHeaderRow = false,

        // Gets or sets a callback to determine which row is the header row.
        // Only called when UseHeaderRow = true.
        ReadHeaderRow = (rowReader) => {
            // F.ex skip the first row and use the 2nd row as column headers:
            rowReader.Read();
        },

        // Gets or sets a callback to determine whether to include the
        // current row in the DataTable.
        FilterRow = (rowReader) => {
            return true;
        },

        // Gets or sets a callback to determine whether to include the specific
        // column in the DataTable. Called once per column after reading the
        // headers.
        FilterColumn = (rowReader, columnIndex) => {
            return true;
        }
    }
});
```
Setting up `AsDataSet()` configuration, use the FilterRow callback to implement a "progress indicator" while loading, e.g.:

```c#
var result = reader.AsDataSet(new ExcelDataSetConfiguration()
{
    ConfigureDataTable = (tableReader) => new ExcelDataTableConfiguration()
    {
        FilterRow = (rowReader) => {
            int progress = (int)Math.Ceiling((decimal)rowReader.Depth / (decimal)rowReader.RowCount * (decimal)100);
            // progress is in the range 0..100
            return true;
        }
    }
});
```

## Formatting

ExcelDataReader does not support formatting directly. Users may retreive the number format string for a cell through `IExcelDataReader.GetNumberFormatString(i)` and use the third party ExcelNumberFormat library for formatting purposes.

Example helper method using ExcelDataReader and ExcelNumberFormat to format a value:

```c#
string GetFormattedValue(IExcelDataReader reader, int columnIndex, CultureInfo culture)
{
    var value = reader.GetValue(columnIndex);
    var formatString = reader.GetNumberFormatString(columnIndex);
    if (formatString != null)
    {
        var format = new NumberFormat(formatString);
        return format.Format(value, culture);
    }
    return Convert.ToString(value, culture);
}
```

- https://www.nuget.org/packages/ExcelNumberFormat

## Important note when upgrading from ExcelDataReader 2.x

ExcelDataReader 3 had some breaking changes, and older code may produce error messages similar to:

```
'IExcelDataReader' does not contain a definition for 'AsDataSet'...
'IExcelDataReader' does not contain a definition for 'IsFirstRowAsColumnNames'...
```

To fix:

1. Make sure to rename any `Excel` namespace references in the code to the new namespace `ExcelDataReader`

2. Make sure the project has a reference to the `ExcelDataReader.DataSet` package to use `AsDataSet()`

3. Remove the line of code with `IsFirstRowAsColumnNames` and change the call to AsDataSet() to something like this:

```c#
var result = reader.AsDataSet(new ExcelDataSetConfiguration()
{
    ConfigureDataTable = (_) => new ExcelDataTableConfiguration()
    {
        UseHeaderRow = true
    }
});
```

## Important note on .NET Core

By default, ExcelDataReader throws a NotSupportedException "No data is available for encoding 1252." on .NET Core.

To fix, add a dependency to the package `System.Text.Encoding.CodePages` and then add code to register the code page provider during application initialization (f.ex in Startup.cs):

```c#
System.Text.Encoding.RegisterProvider(System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
```

This is required to parse strings in binary BIFF2-5 Excel documents encoded with DOS-era code pages. These encodings are registered by default in the full .NET Framework, but not on .NET Core.
