Do you want some time to reflex and read about the possibilities that GIS tailor-made has to offer? Please download our brochure and read whenever it suits you best!
Maybe it is our joint background in Engineering and Social Sciences, but we are getting more and more exited about participatory mapping. There are more and more tools for community participation and we have tested a few. No matter if you want to use an adroid cellphone, facebook or twitter, we can integrate these tools in participatory mapping and mobile data collection. Did this make you as excited as we are and maybe a little curious? Have a look at this poster!

Outsourcing of highly specialized computer services can be done very successful. With proper preparation and good communication it can and will be beneficial for all parties. Read more about this here in Vi Matrix (in Dutch).
In this newsletter from NUFFIC you can find some information in the VocTech Program in Vietnam. GIS tailor-made supplied the Chief Technical Adviser that helped creating this successstory.
One of the biggest compliments is when others write about your article in National Newspapers. This is also a great example work by Leny Ocasiones that really has an impact.
A press release on the start of GIS tailor-made in the Dutch GIS magazine. It also featured on their website and in their emailing (in Dutch).
It is a good thing when your trainees are so happy with the organized activities that they are using the website of their organization to give a report. This tailor-made GIS training was organized by Van Hall Larenstein.
We think that GIS should be supporting the working field where it is applied. Here is a poster where Ubo Pakes did both the GIS activities as well as the project management for an ecological research in the Netherlands .
In 1997 Ubo Pakes presented a paper in the annual ESRI user conference in San Diego on the use of GIS for one dimensional river modeling.


The moon Hyperion tumbles as it orbits Saturn. Hyperion's (168 miles or 270 kilometers across) spin axis has a chaotic orientation in time, meaning that it is essentially impossible to predict how the moon will be spinning in the future. So far, scientists only know of a few bodies with such chaotic spins.
The image was taken in green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 22, 2016.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 203,000 miles (326,000 kilometers) from Hyperion and at a Sun-Hyperion-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 10 degrees. Image scale is 1 mile (2 kilometers) per pixel.

Unreliable information since 1972
Weekend Gone.
Friday night, comedy at The Ship in Borough. A bit of photography on the way home, trying a few more ambitious tricks with long exposures, some of which worked, some of which didn't. Pleasant start to the weekend
Saturday afternoon: The Tempest, Islington. Half the cast were weak, (mostly the King's Party and Ferdinand), and I really didn't feel there was much directorial vision there – I had no idea what I was supposed to take away from the play past Shakespeare's original themes and intentions – it sort of felt like the number of unusual directorial choices (all of the major roles filled by women, starting with a plane crash rather than a shipwreck, despite the fact that none of the later dialogue was changed to reference this, a sudden attack of (entertaining, don't get me wrong) belly dancing in Act 4) were done to be "modern" and "challenging" rather than because the director has a point to make. And the sound engineer should have been taken out and shot. When the sound effects make it impossible for people sat in the middle of the audience to hear most of Act 1 Scene 1 (and a few other points besides), then you know that someone doesn't know what they're doing.
Still, all that said: it was perfectly enjoyable. Prospero, Ariel and Caliban are my favourite characters in the play, and they were all more than up to the job, and I can listen to Shakespeare's language and metaphor for hours.
Saturday evening: ewa's and nicklocking's respective birthday bashes. Drinking of cocktails, beer and sangria. Tapas. Mild drunkenness. Extremely good fun.
Sunday, daytime: catching up on sleep and emails. And then, in the evening, Jason's gig.
He didn't disappoint. I won't go on about it, because I'm sure you're all bored of me going on about him. I'll just say thanks to those who came along – he's deserved a London gig like that for years – and yah boo sucks to those that didn't.
There was also a snake dancer, on after Jason, and I think I sort of understand how porn photographers (not that this was porn, but it's an insight, anyway) do the job. Without the camera, I was watching a fairly attractive young woman wearing not very much cavorting on stage with a snake. With the camera between me and her, I was watching a collection of lines and curves and colours to be framed in the best manner possible. I was, I swear to god, honestly surprised at the huge difference in my responses with and without the camera.
This leads into something I was talking about the other week with alexdecampi and also with jhaelan – the idea that there's an increasing number of people who do things in order to document, rather than to have the experience. I don't think it's necessarily bad, you understand, but I know that I'm often torn, at good gigs, between using the camera and watching the show. The difference isn't as marked at most gigs as it was last night, but then, I'm generally taking photos of bands whose work I know more or less by heart, and I can listen to music at the same time. When I'm dealing with something that's more, or even purely, visual, the photographic urge might well get quite badly in the way of the experience.
It might well also play in to my other interests in things like interface design and/or human/technological interaction. warren_ellis' Transmetropolitan comic, for example, features a protagonist with camera built in to his ever-present sunglasses. Would that be an elegant interface to prevent that disconnect, or would it do exactly the reverse, and keep that disconnect almost permanently in place?
Tonight, a five course dinner and wine tasting, for ewa's birthday meal out. Good comedy, theatre, company, music, photography, food and drink all in the space of a few days, and more of the same to come this week.
I don't generally go a bundle on the metaphysical poets, but I have to say, I think George Herbert was right. Living well is the best revenge.

UAE's scientific breakthrough on bird conservation
Published Sunday, February 06, 2011
Over 40 ornithologists, environmentalists and wildlife and nature defenders and researchers will descend on Abu Dhabi on Tuesday for the first international symposium on conservation and breeding of endangered birds species.
Mubarak Al Ahbabi, Chairman of the President's Business Department, organisers of the three-day event, will reveal to the local, regional and international gathering findings of the world first-ever scientific breakthrough project which the Department's Natural Reserves Management has been consistently researching for more than two years.
Organisers say Abu Dhabi has been chosen as the host of this important scientific event for its staggering successes it has achieved in convening and hosting international specialised meetings and for the high profile the Department's Research Centre maintains as one of the most active and reliable research institutes for conserving and breeding endangered birds in the world.
The Centre is part of the huge efforts being made by Abu Dhabi, and the UAE, to protect the Houbara Bustard, the ultimate quarry of falconers, using state-of-the-art techniques and most recent scientific innovations.
Since 1989, Abu Dhabi government has been striving to conserve and breed the Houbara Bustard, an important element of the UAE heritage and falconry, after the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan sounded the alarm bell that the rare shy bird was on the verge of extinction because of excessive hunting and poaching, lack of financial resources for good management of their habitats.
A conservation programme was launched to preserve the endangered Houbara from extinction with the belief that the UAE could provide a suitable habitat for these birds if provided with the appropriate conditions.
As staunch defender of the environment and wildlife, the UAE has founded several avian research centres for protecting and conserving endangered birds in the Arabia.
In 2010, the President's Department launched an advanced programme for cross breeding and pollination as a mechanism for increasing the houbara population in their habitats in the UAE wild.
Recognising these amazing efforts, President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan gave his patronage to an international conference dedicated to finding ways of protecting endangered birds.
The UAE conservation programmes included local and overseas re-introduction and re-stocking of depleted populations. Captive bred Houbaras - all fitted with transmitters - were released also.

Home > WeAreTechWomen > WeAreTechWomen - Main Features > How to make tech more accessible for all?
From banking to food shopping, many of our day-to-day tasks can now be completed online and generally this digital-by-default society is making people's lives easier and more efficient.
In fact, a third of people have become so accustomed to accessing online services 24/7, from anywhere in the world, that they would feel "cut off" and "lost" without the Internet.
However, as it stands, there are still many people with varying abilities and conditions – from blindness to autism or dementia – that cannot use digital services due to poor design practices and confusing jargon. They are therefore 'disabled' by these platforms; as they are unable to access the information they require.
Despite some positive, inclusive design work being carried out across a variety of sectors, such as Network Rail's implementation of a new accessible app, a recent Ofcom report suggests disabled individuals are being left behind by technology on the whole. This is due to deployment of alienating language and design features.
So what can be done to make the UK's online services accessible to all?
Cater for those with physical or motor impairments – these online services need to minimise the amount of typing required from users. Also, they should make clickable interactive elements large without demanding precision, and design platforms with mobile and touch screen in mind.
Be mindful of visually impaired individuals – businesses should ensure websites use a readable font size and a combination of colour, shapes and text, while ensuring to publish all information on web pages as opposed to other document types such as PDFs.
Accommodate for autistic users – companies must use day-to-day language – avoiding figures of speech and idioms. They should create a simple colour scheme and make sure layouts are consistent and uncluttered.
Adapt services for customers that are hard of hearing – businesses must provide access to subtitles or transcripts to accompany videos, break up content with sub-headings, images and video and avoid complex layouts and menus.
People with ranging abilities should also be invited to take part in usability sessions throughout the design process. This will help businesses to assess how effective certain features are and will highlight areas that need to be improved or removed altogether.
Going forward, if businesses take these changes into consideration when developing their online presence and start implementing them as soon as possible, we can expect to see a dramatic improvement in digital inclusivity across the board.

Q: ASP.net configurable wizard pages I am looking for possible approaches to the following task.
Currently have a number of ASP.net pages which are essentially copies of one another but some contain textboxes,dropdownlists which others do not. this is because initially a number of pages were developed for a particular product and then another product came on board which had to do the same thing as the other pages i.e. get user to imput data and then save it. However now we are left with a large number of pages which essentially do the same thing and are difficult to maintain.
So what i am hoping to do is scrap the code as it is and replace with a configurable wizard. the requirement being that all the controls on the pages should be configurable as to whether they appear on the page and whether they are required fields.
Any ideas,examples,thoughts appreciated
thanks
N
cheers
niall

A: So I am not a big fan of the Wizard control.  I would think that the best option would be to create a class that represents all of the configuration options possible and then to dynamically render the ASPX page at runtime based on the configuration options provided by the user.  By Dynamically I mean adding the server controls to the page in the Init event as opposed to just hard coding them onto the page.

A: Have you considered the ASP.Net out-of-the-box Wizard control?  You can use templated wizard steps to customize the content based on whatever logic you need.

A new take on searching for munitions takes flight
By Joseph P BrutonApril 9, 2019
1 / 3 Show Caption + Hide Caption – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District supervises the use of an innovative drone system towing a magnetometer to search for munitions 14 miles east of Marysville on Jan 24, 2019. The testing took place in the Spenceville Wildlife Area, a FUDS (Formerly Used Defense Site) known as the former Camp Beale. The drone, sub-contracted by Bristol, is being used by the Corps in a Pilot Study to search for any subsurface munitions that may remain in the area. The cutting edge use of drone, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and magnetometer is being tested to accurately search for munitions in steep terrain or sensitive habitats. (Photo Credit: Joseph P Bruton) VIEW ORIGINAL
On a recent sunny California winter day, approximately 25 people gathered in a scenic and rural field to watch a demonstration that could change the way potentially dangerous munitions are found. Under the supervision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District, a team of contractors fired-up a tri-blade, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and lifted off from a straw-covered pasture in the Spenceville Wildlife Area, 14 miles east of Marysville. It wasn't just any old pasture, however, the site was chosen because it is part of a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) known as Former Camp Beale.
Among those watching the demonstration with anxious curiosity were Sacramento District's Tim Crummett, former Camp Beale FUDS project manager; Kyle Lindsay, a geophysicist; FUDS program manager Chris Goddard, and James Lukasko, technical team lead. Other interested agencies on site included the State of California Department of Toxic Substance Control; representatives from Beale Air Force Base, USACE's Head of Military Munition Response Program, and FUDS Project Managers from the Corps' Los Angeles District.
Nearby, Crummett stood among those scrutinizing the process, watching to ensure the magnetometer strayed no more than a few feet from the ground and discussing the procedure with colleagues.
"This is an innovative use of a drone system towing a magnetometer to search for munitions," said Crummett. "This is the first time it's being tried, and our first opportunity to see if this is going to work."
The description of the demonstration sounds high-tech: A cutting-edge use of a UAS, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), GPS and magnetometer in a pilot study to search for subsurface munitions in steep terrain or sensitive habitats. But the demonstration was also aided by a clever bit of low-tech. The helicopter-like drone rose up, two simple strands of orange cord supporting the magnetometer and a third cord keeping it aimed in the proper direction. Nearby, a pilot used a video game-like controller to manage flight, his goal of making tidy parallel field crossings aided by an almost windless day, although still fighting occasional prop wash from the low altitude flying.
According to Lindsay, the district's onsite geophysicist during the testing, the Corps is conducting this pilot study to increase accessibility in challenging terrain when searching for munitions left-behind at formerly used defense sites.
"Currently, munitions-personnel must use a ground-based EM61 metal detector pulled by tractor or carried along by two operators; not a very practical system to search for munitions in inaccessible terrain, wetlands or biologically sensitive areas," said Lindsay.
"This is an evaluation to see if this is equivalent to industry standards," added FUDS program manager Chris Goddard.
As a control for the test, the team buried some inert munitions-type objects in the area in order to compare the results from the pilot study with what the team knows to actually be true.
"We will find out in a couple weeks when we get the results of our survey. The data is currently being evaluated," said Goddard.
One of the goals of the pilot study is to be able to use the technology to find relatively small munitions across large areas of habitat. Kind of the munitions version of 'the needle in the haystack.'
According to Goddard, it currently takes about eight to nine hours to scan and map an area the size of an acre, but the hope is the pilot study will make that process faster without losing any accuracy.
"The field we scanned was selected because there is potential munitions in the area. We recently found a 105 millimeter anti-tank munition. But the goal is to be able to use this technology to find munitions that are 37 millimeters - about the size of large bullet - or larger, and find them up to a depth of about 12 inches," said Lindsay.
Should the results come back proving the combination of drone, LiDAR and magnetometer are a more efficient method of searching, the FUDS team looks forward to pushing out the finding to colleagues.
"If this works as good as we believe it is going to, eventually, this could become the new industry-wide standard for finding munitions in sensitive habitat," said Goddard.

Josh Trank gives an honest review of "FANT4STIC"
Written by Shaun Tyr-El on November 25, 2019
More in Entertainment:
[TCN's Top 5 Must Watch WWE PPV Matches] Vol. 1: WrestleMania January 16, 2021
It's as much a review of Trank himself as it is the film.
As highlighted by Slashfilm, Josh Trank recently took to Letterboxd and reviewed the film that caused him so much anguish and changed his entire outlook on the film industry.
20th Century Fox had rebooted the Fantastic Four franchise after the critical failure of 2005's Fantastic Four and 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Instead of the family friendly, almost goofy comedy of the first two films, 20th Century Fox decided to take the film down the route of being a more dark and gritty film, helmed by Trank who had proven himself a very capable director after the success of 2012's Chronicle.
The problem the film, and Trank had was studio interference. The movie suffered from being badly edited with plenty of footage missing that was in the trailers and a disjointed story along with poor visual effects work. Trank suffered from severe mental illness, with depression and anxiety plaguing his personality for almost the full 4 years that it took to complete the film.
Trank starts his review off with a general assessment of the film:
The movie is ALRIGHT.
I was expecting it to be much worse than it was. I literally haven't seen it since like two weeks before it came out, and I was in a heavily fucking traumatized state of mind. Why? Eh, save that for another time.
He continues to get into the review and starts off by talking about those who worked on the movie:
Anyway, movie review:
Great cast.
Everyone in the film is a great actor, and overall there is a movie in there, somewhere. And that cast deserves to be in THAT movie. Everyone who worked on Fant4stic clearly wanted to be making THAT movie. But…. ultimately… It wasn't.
Did I make that movie they deserved to be in?
To be honest?
I can't tell.
In a mini-commentary on the movement around DC fans rallying around Zack Snyder in an effort to prompt WB to release the Snyder Cut of Justice League, after the theatrical cut of Justice League had two very different styles vying for dominance, and asks the question:
What I can tell is there are TWO different movies in one movie competing to be that movie.
Is there a #releasethetrankcut?
Doesn't matter.
I'm not Zack Snyder.
Zack Snyder is a storied, iconic, legendary filmmaker who has been knocking it out of the fucking park since I was in high school.
Trank notes of himself during this period:
Me? Then?
I was 29 years old, making my 2nd film, in a situation more complicated than anything a 2nd time filmmaker should've walked into.
That said… I don't regret any of it.
It's a part of me.
Trank does finalise the review on a hopeful note, however, when he gives his opinion on who he thinks should direct the next Fantastic Four film:
And I just hope Peyton Reed makes the next Fantastic Four and crushes it. And that I get a cameo.
Peyton Reed, director of Marvel's Ant-Man and its sequel Ant-Man and The Wasp is Josh Trank's pick for the next reboot of Marvel's first family, and this time it would fit into the ever expanding MCU, and with the experience of working for Marvel, perhaps Reed could pull off the next iteration of superhero team.
Josh Trank's next film is Fonzo, following Tom Hardy's Al Capone struggling with ageing, the onset of dementia and the ghosts of his criminal past. Although there is no set date, Trank recently confirmed it will be released in 2019.

Australian Transfer Pricing Alert:
Guidance on the provision of General Purpose Financial Statements
ATO guidance on lodgement of GPFS
Significant global entities (multinational entities with annual global income exceeding $A1 billion as per their global financial statements) are now required to lodge general purpose financial statements (GPFS) to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) with their tax return, unless the entity already lodged GPFS with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). This measure comes into effect for income years beginning on or after 1 July 2016. The ATO has issued its long awaited guidance on the matter on 28 September 2017.
Who will be impacted?
As expected, there is clarification that in some cases the accounts do not need to be prepared using Australian Accounting Standards, thus allowing some of the Australian subsidiaries of multinationals to submit global consolidated accounts instead. To qualify, global consolidated financial statements must be prepared in accordance with prescribed accounting standards [i.e., either under Australian Accounting Standards or other commercially accepted accounting principles (CAAP)].
Once received by the ATO they will be published and made publicly available on the ASIC register, which may affect some company's decision as to whether to prepare stand-alone GPFS for an Australian subsidiary or to provide consolidated global GPFS. While GPFS do not need to be audited, the ATO considers it best practice to do so.
Penalties if GPFS not lodged with the ATO by the relevant date
For the purposes of transparency measures, GPFS is considered a taxation document and any failure to file on time or in the approved form may result in an administrative tax penalty. Such penalties in extreme cases can be as high as AUD 525,000 per document as outlined in previous Transfer Pricing Alerts, issued on 9 December 2015 and 6 May 2017.
It should be noted that requirements to provide GPFS will affect the same entities as other measures, including:
Country-by-country reporting requirements
Multi-National Anti-Avoidance law ("MAAL")
Diverted Profits Tax Legislation ("DPT")
The October 2017 edition of the BDO Accounting News prepared by our International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Advisory Services team contains an article that summarises the guidance provided by the ATO.

Boris Nemtsov murder provides tough test for Vladimir Putin
Wild-card Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov becoming an increasing liability
Sat, Mar 14, 2015, 01:00
Isabel Gorst

A mound of rain-drenched flowers still marks the place on the bridge near the Kremlin where Boris Nemtsov, the Russian opposition leader, was shot dead two weeks ago in a brazen murder that speaks of savage undercurrents roiling the country's political life.
Russian law enforcers have made rapid progress in their investigation into the crime. Two men from Chechnya, a mainly Muslim republic in Russia's restive North Caucasus, have been charged with killing Nemtsov and three more suspects remain in custody at Moscow's high security Lefortovo jail.
But for colleagues of Nemtsov, it's not important who pulled the trigger. They're demanding that investigators uncover the "contractors", the people who ordered and orchestrated the killing of one of Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics.
The European Parliament added its voice to calls for an international inquiry this week, describing the shooting of Nemtsov as "the most significant political murder in recent Russian history".
Many Russians will accept that Chechens murdered Nemtsov, but not that the killers were acting of their own volition, said former prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who co-founded the Parnas opposition party with Nemtsov.
"Investigators are trying everything to get away from the fact that it was a political killing and find a version that is more or less acceptable to society."
Nemtsov was shot dead while walking across a bridge near the Kremlin after dining with his Ukrainian girlfriend in a restaurant on February 27th.
In the days after the murder, Russian state media swirled with conspiracy theories suggesting that Ukrainian nationalists or US secret services seeking to discredit the Kremlin, or even Islamist extremists, were responsible. The killer could even have had a domestic motive – Nemtsov was famous for his colourful private life.
The indictment of Zaur Dadayev, a Chechen soldier, who was dragged by heavily armed police into a Moscow court last Sunday to face charges of murder, has added weight to the narrative of a religious motive. Russia's Investigation Committee says it has information that Nemtsov had received threats related to his position on the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo journalists in Paris.
Forced confession
Visited by rights activists in Lefortovo this week, Dadayev claimed he had confessed to killing Nemtsov under duress and had bruises to show for it. In conversation with Andrei Babushkin, a member of the Kremlin's human rights commission, the Chechen said he had been fired from the North battalion on February 28th, one day after the murder of Nemtsov, but gave no reason for his dismissal. "In the space of one week I have gone from being a hero to a dangerous criminal," he said.
Dadayev has a powerful ally in Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen president, who, writing on Instagram this week, described him as a "true patriot" who would "never do anything to hurt Russia". Dadayev was also a devout Muslim who had been shocked by the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, Kadyrov added.
Most Russian commentators agree that that if it was Dadayev who killed Nemtsov, he was most likely acting on orders rather than his own initiative.
Although officially part of the Russian interior ministry, the North battalion is manned largely by members of the Chechen presidential guard and holds allegiance to Kadyrov, according to Oleg Orlov, the head of the Memorial Human Rights Centre.
"A killer would have to be crazy to conduct such a super high profile murder without approval from above," he wrote on his blog on the Echo Moskvy radio station website.
Kadyrov swept into the political limelight after the assassination in 2004 of his father, Akhmad Kadyrov, the then Chechen president. Putin needed a faithful cohort to represent the Kremlin's interests in the intricate power struggles between rival clans and warlords in Chechnya, where Russia has fought two bitter wars since the Soviet Union collapsed. Ruthlessly ambitious and charismatic, Kadyrov fitted the bill.
International rights groups have accused Kadyrov of presiding over a brutal regime in Chechnya and of abusing his authority, to enrich his family and friends. But in Putin's eyes Kadyrov has proved his worth, bringing relative stability to Chechnya and overseeing a massive Kremlin-funded war restoration works in the republic, including the construction of Europe's biggest mosque.
Above all else, Putin demands total loyalty from associates and Kadyrov delivers in spades."We are the foot soldiers of the president of Russia," he wrote on Instagram this week. "To give your life for such a person is the lightest of tasks."
Politkovskaya
Anna Politkovskaya
There was ample reason for Kadyrov to dislike Nemtsov, who frequently criticised the Kremlin for lavishing funds on Chechnya while other Russian regions languished in poverty.
Nemtsov had flagged reports Chechen security forces were fighting alongside pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, allegedly with Kadyrov's blessing. Putin denies that Russia has provided military support to Ukraine and says Russian soldiers there are "volunteers".
The decision to charge one of Kadyrov's close allies with the Nemtsov murder has given rise to speculation that the Kremlin is finally losing patience with the Chechen president. Some say a battle is brewing between rival factions in the powerful siloviki, or secret services, torn between loyalty to Putin and resentment about the free rein he has given Kadyrov.
Putin included the Chechen leader on a list of 200 people bestowed with civilian awards this week. Kadyrov was singled out for the Order of Honour, for "work achievements, strenuous social activities and long, conscientious service".
But Kadyrov is becoming an increasing liability. Putin, who has cancelled several engagements and has not been seen in public for almost a week, is facing "one of the most serious choices of his life", wrote Stanislav Belkovsky, a Russian political analyst, on the Snob online newspaper. "The siloviki's conviction that Kadyrov ordered the murder of Nemtsov is a major blow to Vladimir Putin. "

A: There are some problems with your understanding of a class compared to an element in your javascript code.
You are trying to call javascript functions for an element on a query you made on a class. For example, in the query below, you're returning a class to the variable asianCuisine when you intended to return an element. The "." returns a class and a "#" returns an element. In html, an element's id attribute relates to the "#" and the element's class attribute relates to the "."
var asianCuisine = document.querySelector(".asian-cuisine");
var asianCuisine = document.querySelector("#asian-cuisine");

You must also remove hidden and active attributes at the proper time.
Try the code in the jsfiddle below. It should get you where you need to be for a good start on your project. Please do more research into html classes & ids and also how they related to javascript & css "#" vs. "."
Keep in mind that there are much easier ways to do this but if someone just gives some fancy code you won't learn anything.
Code that works ---> https://jsfiddle.net/larrygrobertson/y52m1ok6/54/
I have modified your code and attempted to keep as much as I could intact.

As the U.S. opens another international fighting front in Libya, Air National Guard crews from eleven states have been mobilized to support Operation Odyssey Dawn. National Guard contributions to the country's ongoing wars have been invaluable, but that doesn't exempt their operations from oversight. Investigative reporter Charles Piller of the Sacramento Bee has been keeping a close watch on the California National Guard — one of the largest Guard forces in the country, with an annual budget of roughly $1 billion.
In February, Need to Know highlighted Piller's work in a report on financial misconduct in the California Guard. Yesterday, the Bee published a new installment of his investigative series that tells the story of Camp Roberts, California's largest Guard base. According to Piller's investigation, "decades of deferred maintenance and neglect" at the facility have led to unsafe and unsanitary conditions for soldiers training for deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan. The report said that some structures lack heat or air conditioning, despite below-freezing temperatures in winter and blazing California summers. And in at least one building, raw sewage "routinely" overflows from shower drains and toilets.

I consider myself mostly self-taught as a jazz pianist. I will admit that I had one month's worth of lessons in 2nd grade, and I did study trumpet from 4th grade through college, and I did take Class Piano in high school, and I did study a bit with Fred Karpoff when I was at Peabody. But in terms of putting together the basics of jazz piano, I did much of it on my own. Truth be told, I would ask older players about voicings, or licks, or recordings, and then try to figure it out at home. Initially, my home made piano style consisted of playing trumpet licks in my right hand and snare drum ideas in the left hand, since those were the instruments I had previously played. Plus I had listened to a few key recordings, and I suppose I had absorbed a certain "jazz feeling" that translated to my comping on the piano. Also, I had played trumpet along with many of the Aebersold Play-Along recordings, so much that the comping of players like Kenny Barron and Cedar Walton were really in my ears. But in terms of regular jazz piano lessons for a long period... never.
However, I do have fond memories of two lessons I took in the early 1990's with the great pianist James Williams. If you aren't familiar with Williams, you need to be. Williams is probably best known for his tenure with the great Art Blakey, as well as having worked as a sideman with many other jazz greats, such as Tom Harrell, and Dizzy Gillespie. He also recorded a good number of solo albums. He was one of the founding members of the Contemporary Piano Ensemble (which also featured Mulgrew Miller, Geoffrey Keezer, and Harold Mabern, and sometimes also Donald Brown.) He was the Director of Jazz Studies at William Paterson University for 5 years, until his tragic and untimely death from liver cancer in 2004. Williams was a prolific composer, and his tunes are oftentimes played by others; gems such as "The Soulful Mr. Timmons," "Alter Ego", and "Arioso" are amongst William's works that have been covered by others.
I had met pianist Geoffrey Keezer at Bradley's in New York, who was good friends with Williams, and he gave me Williams' info in order to hook up some lessons. At that time, I was still living in Washington, D.C., so I would drive my 1984 Chevy Celebrity up to New York. (I remember it was a blinding rainstorm when I drove up for my first lesson. I was terrified driving across the Manhattan Bridge in a torrential downpour . Are they ever going to repair that bridge? C'mon, Bloomberg....) After getting lost in Brooklyn for a while, I found Williams' apartment.
I was impressed with Williams' record collection. Remember, this was in the early 90's, so Ipods were not even an idea! It seemed as though his entire living room was filled with recordings. He turned me on to the great R&B singer Donny Hathaway. He also played me some music of saxophonist Frank Strozier, who I was unfamiliar with. We listened to some Phineas Newborn, who I had just discovered through Geoffrey Keezer. I remember thinking, "Wow, I know nothing about jazz....."
But I also remember the next time I spoke to James Williams on the phone. "Hey, I think you overpaid me for the lesson. I want to give you some money back....". "Uh, well.....why don't we just put it towards the next lesson?" I asked. " He agreed. I was really touched by his benevolence.
I would bump into James many times over about a decade. I was really shocked the last time I saw him before he died. He had lost a lot of weight. I didn't know it was so serious. We were both playing on a concert with three different bass players: Richard Davis, Eddie Gomez, and Buster Williams. I remember we were talking in the dressing room before the show, and there was a small upright piano in the room. Williams sat down and played some beautiful ballads. I got this sinking feeling that maybe he sort of knew he didn't have much time left.
I attended Williams' memorial service at St. Peter's Church on 54th and Lex. Like many of the events at this church, it was a veritable who's who of jazz. Williams had made a lot of friends in the community. I was almost moved to tears when pianist Mulgrew Miller gave a wonderful speech about how when he had moved to Memphis, he was asked to do a gig, but he didn't have a Fender Rhodes. Williams barely knew Miller, but offered Miller his own Rhodes, even though Williams had a gig that same night. It struck me how selfless Williams was, to give up his own instrument to someone else. That kind of magnanimity is rare.
If you are interested in hearing some of Williams' playing, you can go here to CD Baby, or go to Itunes: sadly, there is only one CD called Alter Ego, but it's a great CD with an all star lineup of saxophonists Billy Pierce, Bill Easley, bassist Ray Drummond, and the late drummer Tony Reedus. It features many of Williams' classic tunes.
thank you for this wonderful post! i discovered james' playing through one of my fave greg osby albums, art forum.
and i have to ask, what was that hip minor-11th voicing that you still use to this day?
I first heard Williams on Art Farmer's Billy Strayhorn tribute record Something to Live For. Williams' shimmering, cascading lines are the first thing you hear on that record. A truly unforgettable musical message.
Thanks for a nice tribute.
Great tribute, George. James used to come up to UNH with his trio or to play with Clark Terry. He was so generous with his advice and time. A truly great musician and man.
Just been listening again to Art Farmer Blame It On My Youth. Companion recording to the Strayhorn recording namechecked above by Anon. You all need to check out this brilliant album especially for James Williams. Alter Ego is a wonderful album also and mentioned by George in his piece.
I totally relate to any single detail of your post George.
We've been in touch quite often since then.
I can say he is one of my strongest influence as a piano player, and he's responsible for many of my musical choices; as a matter of fact he introduced me to Miles Griffith, with whom I shared the bandstand for the last ten years, with three cds under our name. I came to St.Peter's for his memorial as well.
I miss not only a friend and a mentor, but one of the most original, exciting and creative voices of the jazz scene. And a wonderful person.
I like to play and record JW's music as much as I can, I recently did it with Alter Ego on a piano duet with Larry Willis for Mapleshade records, with Arioso (Take Flight And Be Free) where Miles Griffith put lyrics to it, and with Willpower (The Struggle Never Dies) with Miles' lyrics as well.
Thank you so much for your great post (and GREAT blog!), and for the opportunity to remember James, who's certainly making joyful noises up there! God bless his soul.
Hey, congrats on your fantastic work on the 88's George!
I miss my friend. As I type this I'm looking at a photo of James and me with Horace Silver that he insisted that send him a copy. I'll never forget him standing patiently in line to get Oscar Peterson to sign a copy of his autobiograpy at a IAJE conference in Toronto. No jumping the line for him. I'll always have the performances at Twins to remember and the recordings to play on my show as long as I'm on the air. Thank you for this great remembrance of James Williams and I'll join Tony Pancella in congratulating you for what your doing on the piano.
A fine post about a wonderful talent who is, sadly, little known these days. If you can find it, check out the Sunnyside recording "Progress Report." It features several Williams originals that made their way into the Art Farmer/Clifford Jordan book. Now that was a top flight ensemble!
I remember he showed me a really slick voicing for minor 11 chords, which I still use today. One of the hippest things Williams' said to me was regarding solo piano playing:" You don't have to play the whole time. You can play as if there is a bassist and drummer.
The diminutive aircraft measured 14 ft 10 in (4.52 m) long; the folding wings spanned 21 ft (6.4 m).


Spiderman is my favorite superhero. Yes, I still love Ironman, Superman, Batman, Thor, Hulk, etc. etc. but I love spiderman, and yes, Andrew Garfield is hot, but that's not why :). I don't know why as yet. But, I absolutely loved the Amazing Spiderman, and I prefer Gwen Stacey to Mary-Jane (I love Emma Stone as Gwen 🙂 In May of next year (2014), part 2 of the Amazing Spiderman will come out (and sadly I think that's the one in which Gwen Stacey dies, however, it could be the third one in the series). And though these cookies would have been perfect for a video around then, I couldn't wait. I am particularly proud of these cookies because they are so simple yet so attractive, I'm sure any superhero fan would love to have a batch of these.
Something I forgot to include in the video was the consistency of the icing. I added a little extra confectioners' sugar to the black icing to make it thicker so I could pipe the black lines on the face without everything mixing together. Also, it is very important to make sure that the ring around the face and the black for the eyes dry before filling the rings with red so that the black does not mix with the red. Make sure you use the smallest tip you can find for the black, however, try to make the eye lines thicker. If you don't have a piping bag, try out a ziplock bag and snip the end, although, I am not promising great results- the piping bags enable the icing to flow out smoothly, and make straight, consistent lines. If I had to do the video over, I would have made the circles a bit neater, and the eyes a bit wider. Other than that, I think the cookies looked fantastic, and I can't wait to try out other cool treats.
Draw eyes on the cookies either using an edible marker or food coloring and a toothpick (you can make engravings on the cookies if you use my recipe, as they are so soft).
Divide the icing into three portions, a small portion for the eyes, a slightly larger portion for the face and outline.
Dye the larger portions black and red.
Snip the ends of 2 piping bags and insert the tips.
Add the black icing in the bag with a smaller tip, and the red icing in the one with a larger tip.
Pipe the eyes- these are two diagonal semi circles.
Pipe an oval around the cookie.
Wait till this hardens, then fill the cookie with red. Try not to get any on the black borders for the eyes.
Fill the eyes with the white icing using a parchment cone or piping bag- you could also use a spoon if you are really neat.
Please watch the video so you can get a better idea of what to do.

Q: PHP Update with Curl Please I am trying to update my API with an update curl function but am struggling to work out why it isn't working
The areas where it may be wrong is key($id) I want it to
extract the ID column based on the key value for the ID array.
$URL I want to create the URL based on the const variables plus the resource name plus the value of the ID array that has been passed through rawurlencode.
So far this is my update code, but am wondering what area is wrong.
I can provide more info if needed and appreciate any help, thanks
<?php
function update(array $id,array $vaules, $resourcename)
    $jsonData = json_encode($vaules);
    key($id);
    $url = DOMAIN.FOLDER.APIPATH.$resourcename.rawurlencode("/".$id);
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array ('content-type: application/json'));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,PUT);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$jsonData);
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_getinfo(CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
}

A: The function key() returns the current key in an array (according to the internet pointer). Right now you're not doing anything with it, you're calling the function and not assigning it anywhere.
Did you mean to write: rawurlencode("/".key($id).$vaules);?
As your code is right now, assuming $id is an array, you're trying to convert an array into a string, which I doubt is what you want.
