Q: Reusing capture group inside a regexp I am writing an emacs major mode for an in house scripting language. I am trying to set up font lock regexps for macros used by a preprocessing tool, which are of the form $(VNAME). I want to match both the entire macro, and any later usages of the variable name. (i.e. both $(VNAME) and VNAME should be matched).
I have successfully matched the entire preprocessor macro with:
...
'("\\$\(.*\)"
  .font-lock-preprocessor-face)
...

I have attempted to then also match the variable name by defining the letters inside the parenthesis as a group and then attempting to match the group:
...
'("$\(\\(.*\\)\)\\|\\1"
  .font-lock-preprocessor-face)
...

but I don't get any matches for group 1. Is this an allowable use of group references or do I have a syntax error?

A: "\\$\(.*\)" is a 6-character string: \$(.*). When interpreted as a regexp, it means "dollar, open parenthesis, any sequence of non-newline characters, close parenthesis". You want the 8-character string \$\(.*\), which as a regexp means "dollar, start group, any sequence of non-newline characters, end group". In Elisp syntax, a backslash in a string literal always quotes the next character if it isn't alphanumeric; unlike some other languages, Elisp doesn't know whether that string is supposed to be a regexp and there is no special dedoubling of backslashes.

Post-Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman Has The 'Gumption' To Be Himself
Published May 24, 2015 at 5:10 PM CDT
TV recently lost its manliest man — a small-town government employee named Ron Swanson. Actor Nick Offerman's run on NBC's Parks and Recreation ended when the show went off the air in February. He's since shaved his mustache and gotten back to his normal self.
"I've never accused myself of being manly," he tells NPR's Arun Rath. "But fortunately Parks and Rec was so popular and Ron Swanson really got a reaction out of people that a lot of the audience began to accuse me of being similar to Ron Swanson. And I've always attested, I've had two semesters of ballet."
Offerman has just written a book called Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers. It's a set of essays about 21 Americans who've personally inspired him. The book is split into three categories: Idealists, Makers, and Freemasons, the secret society. He talks about some of the people he chose to place in those categories and life after Ron Swanson.
On his fascination with Freemasons
There's a notion that, you know, they are secretly controlling the world, but the mission statement of the Masons involves treating your neighbor with generosity and being benevolent ... I really like that notion and as I began looking into maybe joining up, I realized it's poignant that we don't know anything, we never hear anything about the Masons, which I think means that if I were to join, I'd probably really like it. But you're sworn to secrecy, so it would ruin the subject for me if I actually joined, 'cause I couldn't talk about it.
On his essay about Yoko Ono
Because my wife is a really smart art collector, when we first got together we ended up getting to meet Yoko because Yoko was a fan of Will & Grace and my wife, Megan Mullally, was on Will & Grace. And I went in thinking, "Why are we going to an art show for this terrible woman who broke up the Beatles?" And almost immediately, I was so smitten with her art. It's so thoughtful and mischievous and bratty in a way, but also really beautiful and curious. My favorite piece, that I talk about in the book, in that first show where John Lennon met her, there was a ladder that you'd climb up and at the top there was a magnifying glass hanging from the ceiling. And you'd hold the magnifying glass up to a painting on the ceiling and in very tiny letters, it just said the word "yes."
Dan Winters / Courtesy of Dutton
Nick Offerman starred in the NBC series Parks and Recreation and is also the author of the book Paddle Your Own Canoe.
That almost brought tears to my eyes. I thought that's an affirmation and said you went to the trouble of climbing a ladder and looking at this and the answer is yes. And we got to go visit her at her apartment at the Dakota in New York, and only arriving there did I realize, oh, this is the sidewalk where he got shot. Oh my gosh, she has stayed here the whole time. And I said, this lady is one of the most badass, brilliant arts I've ever come across. And I was like, well, I'm gonna try and tell, you know, hopefully some Ron Swanson fans that you should check out Yoko, 'cause she's actually amazing.
On including Carol Burnett in the "Makers" section of the book
Well, Carol, if anything, is a maker of mirth. Carol, for me, has just been one of the most heroic legends of comedy and as a woman in such a great leadership position, it was easy to draw a lot of parallels between her and Amy Poehler in my own life. Women who, they're not punching anybody or they're not fighting tooth and nail. They simply have the charisma to make people wanna follow them. And women, generally, are the most powerful figures in my life and I'm grateful for that. They're badasses. If we're going into any sort of battle, I look around for the most feisty woman and say, "I'm good at carrying heavy things, what can I do for you?"
On his perceived persona as a manly man
Just 'cause I can swing a hammer and I have hair on my back doesn't mean that I'm a pugilist. And so, I suppose, if anything, I feel like Gumption, you know, it celebrates Teddy Roosevelt but at the same time, it says some of his policies are very questionable — foreign policy and the way he felt about women and the Native Americans, he said some really questionable things. And so, for me, people like Michael Pollan and Wendell Berry and Laurie Anderson, the great musician and performance artist — these great thinkers and Yoko, you know, who have philosophy to offer us — I generally find that if I'm in my wood shop doing things that people might perceive as manly, alongside the three women that work in my wood shop and are doing nicer work than I am — I can have manly parts of my life, but then I can also have more sensitive parts. And it's by combining them all that I find things to be the most rewarding.
On life after Ron Swanson
It's interesting, it's funny. I thought I'd be grieving more than I am. And the reason that I'm not is that Mike Schur and Amy Poehler and our other producers chose to end the show with so much integrity. ... It was so nice. I cried my eyes out. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but I like to cry freely, particularly if there's a whale being saved. But it made me as grateful for the ending of the show as I was for the beginning of the show, and then the entire meal.
But as a character actor, you know, being accused by the audience of being this guy with a mustache who is just like Ron Swanson, there's an element of being liberated as well. And I'm having a really good time, which makes me feel really lucky. If I was sitting at home and nobody would give me a job, I'd probably feel differently and say, "Hey, how 'bout a Parks & Rec movie, guys? A reunion tour." ...
I don't know if it's a stage, perhaps the denial stage of grief, but my calendar is so full of fun activities that I don't have a lot of time to sit around and mourn the loss of Parks & Recreation.

Ads for the wildly well known online game of Sudoku frequently function the reassuring phrases, "no mathematical wisdom required." in reality, the one ability Sudoku does require is using mathematical good judgment. for plenty of humans, anxiousness approximately math is so entrenched, and grade institution stories so haunting, that those disclaimers - although deceptive - are essential to keep away from intimidating strength purchasers.
In A short background of Mathematical Thought, Luke Heaton offers a compulsively readable heritage that situates arithmetic in the human adventure and, within the approach, makes it extra obtainable. learning math starts with realizing its historical past. Heaton's e-book for that reason deals a full of life consultant into and during the area of numbers and equations-one during which styles and arguments are traced via good judgment within the language of concrete adventure. Heaton finds how Greek and Roman mathematicians like Pythagoras, Euclid, and Archimedes helped formed the early common sense of arithmetic; how the Fibonacci series, the increase of algebra, and the discovery of calculus are attached; how clocks, coordinates, and logical padlocks paintings mathematically; and the way, within the 20th century, Alan Turing's progressive paintings at the proposal of computation laid the basis for the trendy international.
A short background of Mathematical notion situates arithmetic as a part of, and necessary to, lived event. realizing it doesn't require the appliance of varied ideas or numbing memorization, yet really a old mind's eye and a view to its origins. relocating from the beginning of numbers, into calculus, and during infinity, Heaton sheds mild at the language of math and its importance to human life.
An everlasting query within the philosophy of technological know-how is the query of even if a systematic concept merits extra credits for its winning predictions than it does for accommodating information that used to be already identified whilst the idea was once built. within the Paradox of Predictivism, Eric Barnes argues that the profitable prediction of facts testifies to the final credibility of the predictor in a fashion that proof doesn't while the facts is utilized in the method of endorsing the speculation.
19th century Russian intellectuals perceived a Malthusian bias in Darwin's thought of evolution via ordinary choice. They pointed out that bias with Darwin's proposal of the fight for lifestyles and his emphasis upon the evolutionary position of overpopulation and intraspecific clash. during this publication, Todes files a historic Russian critique of Darwin's Malthusian blunders, explores its dating to such medical paintings as Mechnikov's phagocytic concept, Korzhinskii's mutation concept and Kropotkin's conception of mutual reduction, and reveals its origins in Russia's political economic climate and within the very nature of its land and weather.
This e-book is set the tools used for unifying varied clinical theories lower than one all-embracing concept. the method has characterised a lot of the historical past of technology and is trendy in modern physics; the hunt for a "theory of every little thing" consists of an identical test at unification. Margaret Morrison argues that, opposite to well known philosophical perspectives, unification and clarification usually have little to do with one another.
Because the paintings of thinkers reminiscent of Michel Foucault, François Jacob, Louis Althusser, and Pierre Bourdieu demonstrates, Georges Canguilhem has exerted super impression at the philosophy of technology and French philosophy extra mostly. In wisdom of lifestyles, a publication that spans two decades of his essays and lectures, Canguilhem bargains a chain of epistemological histories that search to set up and make clear the stakes, ambiguities, and emergence of philosophical and organic strategies that outlined the increase of recent biology.
Hexagonal tiling. Three hexagons can meet at a point because there is an angle of 120° between adjacent sides of a regular hexagon, and 360° = 3 × 120°. The angle between adjacent sides of a regular pentagon is 108°, so where three pentagons meet we have a total of 324°, and a gap of 36°. Only two polygons with more 50 MATHEMATICAL THOUGHT than six sides can meet at a point, so triangles, squares and hexagons are the only regular polygons that can be used to tile the plane. e. insisting that each corner is touched by an identical sequence of polygons), then there are exactly eight tiling possibilities.
In particular, we have some innate understanding of spatial relations, and we have the ability to construct 'conceptual metaphors', where we understand an idea or conceptual domain by employing the language and patterns of thought that were first developed in some other domain. The use of conceptual metaphor is something that is common to all forms of understanding, and as such it is not characteristic of mathe�matics in particular. That is simply to say, I take it for granted that new ideas do not descend from on high: they must relate to what we already know, as physically embodied human beings, and we explain new concepts by talking about how they are akin to some other, familiar concept.
The art of 30,000 bc was probably somewhat similar to a BEGINNINGS25 child's drawing, not because our ancestors were simple minded, but because drawing nameable things is such a basic, human skill. Indeed, we can say that children's drawings are understandable precisely because we can talk our way about them. ). Just as a child might not need to draw ears and a nose before their marks become a face, so the caveman artist may have drawn some tusks and already seen a mammoth. Such stylized, intelligible drawings are not the same as writing, but there is a related logic of meaningful marks, and it is surely safe to assume that our ancestors talked about their drawings.


A funny thing happened to Dwayne Johnson's movie career – kids.
The football player turned professional wrestler turned movie star did "The Game Plan," a comedy for Disney, and all of a sudden he's big box office and every child's best bud. He did "Cory in the House" on the Disney Channel. He's starring in Disney's "Race to Witch Mountain," opening today, and has an animated film ("Planet 51") and another kid-friendly comedy ("Tooth Fairy") due out this year. He's hosting Nickelodeon's "Kid's Choice Awards" at the end of March.
And what was the Rock doing at the Grammys?
His prime-time appearance, during which he cracked jokes before introducing Justin Timberlake, wasn't just one part of a slapdash marketing effort for the forthcoming "Race to Witch Mountain." It was the latest manifestation of a carefully calibrated strategy to transform Johnson, 36, from meathead action star into family-friendly leading man and a member of Hollywood's top tier.
"He doesn't take himself seriously," says AnnaSophia Robb, one of his teen "Witch Mountain" co-stars.
Johnson laughs at the notion. But he owns it. The former wrestler is as canny as anybody in the business about finding a niche. He's not wrestling anymore. He's no longer going by "The Rock." And he didn't really discover his big-screen appeal to kids until he tested those waters.
Johnson, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in 2006 while preparing for his role as a football player in "The Game Plan," said he was eager to get back to doing his own stunts.
"I was hurt on `The Game Plan,' so I wasn't able to do my own stunts. The fact I could jump back into doing my own stunts for this was superexciting for me," Johnson said on the set of "Race to Witch Mountain" last May.
"Race to Witch Mountain" is a reboot of one of Disney's popular franchises from the 1970s, the "Witch Mountain" movies about kids with mysterious powers. "Race to Witch Mountain" revives the series, with Johnson playing an ex-mob "wheel man" now driving a taxi, a regular Joe named Jack Bruno who finds himself transporting two alien teens on their quest to find their way back home. The film ratchets up the action to a level not usually seen in a family film. And it lets Johnson show off his way with a funny line.
Johnson is the first to admit that in making his family-friendly move he hadn't taken into account the old W.C. Fields maxim about the perils of working with children and dogs.
With child actors, "you have to be superefficient in your planning, so that you do your scenes with them in the short day that they're allowed to work," he says. And dogs?

> The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions
The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions
SUHF at a glance
The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions was founded in 1995 as an organisation for institutional cooperation on a voluntary basis. 38 universities and university colleges in Sweden are members (16 universities, 18 university colleges and 4 university art colleges).
The Association aims at promoting sector interests to external actors and at strengthening internal cooperation. The Association was set up by the universities and university colleges themselves, the initiative being taken by the rectors concerned. It was as a merger between two existing rectors' conferences.
There are no official duties or responsibilities, since the Association is not regulated by law. The Association has no legal status, although in practice it is acknowledged as the representative of universities and university colleges as a sector.
The Association is governed by statutes adopted in 1995 with later amendements. The Association aims at promoting sector interests to external actors and at strengthening internal cooperation. SUHF provides an arena for exchange of views and cooperation among its member institutions and safeguard their interests.
The decisions, on principle issues, are taken by the General Assembly comprising all member institutions. The Board, currently consisting of seven rectors and one university director, the Presidium, consisting of the chairman, vice-chairman and secretary general and a small office consisting of the Secretary general and his staff, deals with current business.
Normally the Assembly meets twice a year and the Board seven times a year. The presidium meets every week via telephone-meetings.
No public authorities control or are members/observers of the Association, because it would be quite contrary to the ideas in which the Association was established. The Association have good working relationships with public authorities, for example The National Agency for Higher Education, Research Councils and other funding bodies. The Presidium of the Association meets the Secretary of State regularly for informal discussions. Sometimes governmental representatives (Minister or Secretary of State) are invited for special presentation at Assembly meetings.
The statutes stipulate that all decisions taken in the Assembly must be prepared by the Board. The questions discussed in and decided by the Board are prepared by the Presidium and by the staff.
Decisions concerning the member institutions are recommendations. The statutes contain rules for voting (each member having one, two, three or four votes depending on size). In a few exceptional cases the Assembly has taken a majority decision, using these rules. However, the Association in most cases attempts to take decisions by consensus or by an informal voting technique.
Every meeting results in minutes, which are distributed to all members. The website is the most important window to expose all activities connected to the Association. An electronic newsletter is published 8 times a year where all major activities are mirrored. The newsletter (in Swedish) is free for anyone to subscribe via e-mail.
Eligable for membership are universities and university colleges that have the right to award degrees according to the Higher Education Ordinance (issued by the government). Memberships are decided by the General Assembly. The statutes stipulate that at the Assembly meetings each member institution is represented by its rector and at most one more representative. The latter one shall be an administrator. There are no rules to maximise the period during which an institutional head can represent his/her university or university college at Association meetings or as a member of the Board. The term of office for a rector is six years, with a possibility for re-election for another three year period.
Many of the activities in the Association are run by different kinds of permanent or more temporary working groups dealing with various issues of importance to the HE-sector.
The Association is an arena for discussions and decisions in the field of higher education. We address issues of principle nature as well as more concrete practical handling ones. Our other working methods are conferences, reports, seminars and direct contacts with Parliament, Government as well as government commissions and agencies.
Examples of current activities:
Funding of undergraduate teaching and learning
Research policies, especially funding issues
Relations to industry and commerce
Institutional autonomy and the legal position of higher education institutions
Gender problems in recruiting academic top leaders
Long-term development of auditing within the higher education sector
Nordic co-operation
European co-operation, Bologna and establishment of ERC
Financing of the Association
The Association is financed by fees paid by the member institutions. The fees are based on the turn-over figures from each member institution. The 2016 budget is 7 300 000 SEK which is approx. 780 000 euros mainly to finance the office of the Assocation.
The Association is a member of the Nordic University Association (NUS), the European University Association (EUA) and the International Association of Universities (IAU)
The National Agency of Higher Education is the central agency responsible for matters relating to institutions of higher education. On its website can be found general information about Higher Education in Sweden, statistics, the legal framework, the quality auditing system and publications.
Studyinsweden.se is a comprehensive resource for information about higher education in Sweden, geared towards prospective students from outside Sweden. The site incorporates a frequently updated database of English-language programmes, an overview of the Swedish higher education system, practical information about visas and accommodation, scholarships, application procedures and pointers for learning Swedish as a foreign language. The Swedish Institute (SI) is responsible for the website.
The Swedish Research Council is the major research council and is a government agency under the Ministry of Education and Research. The Council has three main areas of responsibility: research funding, research policy and science communication.
Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA), integrates research and development in technology, transport and working life. VINNOVA´s mission is to promote sustainable growth by financing RTD and developing effective innovation systems.

La barzelletta del bar è una tipologia molto comune nell'ambito delle barzellette, che solitamente si fa iniziare con la frase "Un <nome> entra in un bar e <evento comico>". La percezione iniziale della battuta, ovvero che un uomo stia entrando in un bar per bere qualcosa, dopo pochi secondi viene ribaltata completamente con la battuta finale, pronunciata rapidamente. Una barzelletta del genere ha avuto un'incredibile quantità di varianti nel corso degli anni ed è divenuta una delle più usate, sia in contesti sociali che artistici (come cabaret o spettacoli comici).

La più antica testimonianza di una barzelletta del bar è incisa in una tavoletta sumera, risalente molto probabilmente al periodo della Prima dinastia babilonese (1894-1800 a.C. circa): "Un cane, entrato in una locanda, non vedeva nulla, [e così disse]: 'Devo aprire questa [porta]?." Una possibile spiegazione della barzelletta è che la battuta finale presume che una locanda sarebbe anche un bordello e l'umorismo suggerisce che il cane spera di vedere cosa succede al suo interno.

Q: Jquery keypress event ignore arrow keys I have an input box that acts like a search (similar to facebook).
I am using the jquery on key-press event which works fine.
The problem is that I can't scroll down on the set of the results using the arrow keys, every time that one of them is pressed the search results are being regenerated.
So is it possible to ignore the arrow keys / shift / tab etc.

A: You need to filter out the arrow key codes (37,38,39,40), try this:
Note the function(e) in place of function() - this allows you to grab the event and therefore the key code.
$('#search-form .search-terms').on('keydown', function(e){
    // get keycode of current keypress event
    var code = (e.keyCode || e.which);

    // do nothing if it's an arrow key
    if(code == 37 || code == 38 || code == 39 || code == 40) {
        return;
    }

    // do normal behaviour for any other key
    $('#search-items #autocom').fadeIn();
});

Click for a list of key codes
A note from the docs on keypress/keyup/keydown:

Note that keydown and keyup provide a code indicating which key is pressed, while keypress indicates which character was entered. For example, a lowercase "a" will be reported as 65 by keydown and keyup, but as 97 by keypress. An uppercase "A" is reported as 65 by all events. Because of this distinction, when catching special keystrokes such as arrow keys, .keydown() or .keyup() is a better choice.

The keypress event works in almost all situations but it's prudent to use keyup or keydown because some browsers (I think some older version of Firefox) don't detect certain keys, such as arrow keys, using the keypress event.

A: I would also submit that you should be ignoring other keys that should not directly result in a new query. Keys like shift, scroll-lock, and end, for example. After consulting the same keycode list that @theyetiman linked to, I came up with this if statement to ignore all keys that shouldn't matter (note the swap of keypress for keyup to allow capture of important keys like backspace):
$('.search-terms').on('keyup', function(ev) {
    if ((ev.keyCode > = 9 && ev.keyCode <= 45) || (ev.keyCode >= 91 || ev.keyCode <= 93) || (ev.keyCode >= 112 || ev.keyCode <= 145)) {
        return;
    }
});

A: $(".search-terms").live('keydown',function(event){
if(event.which>=37 && event.which<=40)
                {
                    reutrn;

                }

A: if ( !Main.IsEmptyOrNull( event ) )
{
    $( document ).keydown( function ( e )
    {
        switch ( e.which )
        {
            case 16:
            case 17:
            case 18:
            case 37:
            case 38:
            case 39:
            case 40:
                break;
            default:
                var that = event.target;
                that.rows = that.getAttribute( 'data-min-rows' ) | 0, that.rows;
                that.rows = that.scrollHeight / 16 ;
                break;
        }
    });
}

A: The code from theyetiman can be shortened a bit like so:
$('#search-form .search-terms').on('keydown', function(e){
    // do nothing if it's an arrow key
    if ([37,38,39,40].indexOf(e.keyCode || e.which) !== -1) {
        return;
    }

    // do normal behaviour for any other key
    $('#search-items #autocom').fadeIn();
});

Equal parts baroque by way of Borromini and traditional Chinese architecture of open and flexible spaces.
The Flat is unique in the use of contemporary western and traditional Chinese Architectural elements to create a contiguous space. Its formal language bounces between the two influences to create a synthesis that is neither one nor the other. The resultant flat is curvaceous and sinuous at times as in the ceiling and the curved cabinetry in the living room. But is becomes angular with sharp cut outs to delineate the storage vitrines in the dining area and the cut-outs for the windows. It utilises natural materials throughout but bends wood and marble in ways they are not normally manipulated. Light colours and hidden lighting blur the boundaries of the space make the flat soft in its depth and atmospheric during the day while dramatic at night through lighting and material. The language becomes difficult to describe at it is many things and in this manner clearly at home in Hong Kong as a city made up of many things and different influences. From the modern chinoiserie screen to Italian bathroom tiles it is a residence firmly situated in the global and local and most certainly modern.
Aim of the brief was to create a more open living environment for the client with more flexible space for when she would grow old. This was achieved by eliminating one bedroom and enlarging the others and putting in a second bathroom and wardrobe. The rooms are linked by a moveable partition so they can be combined into a single large room and living room was combined with dining to create a single large open plan.
Like the design language the use of material and technology is one of marked contrasts working together. Whenever possible natural materials have been used. The floors are oak with lime wash. The wood panelling is stained using natural oils, low VOC paint and materials are used throughout to limit harmful off gassing and indoor air pollution. Much was made on site and finished by hand with skilled local craftsman executing the details of the residence. But the initial design work was manufactured using the latest CNC technology in Chinese factories and abroad. Wherever possible tender documents were not used instead digital files were exchanged for production. The ceiling was produced in a factory the produces objects for casinos in China. It was shipped to the site in pieces. The wooden screen was milled from solid red oak by machine from computer files. The same is true of the bespoke cabinetry, the door, entry gate, sinks. All items were produced in factory to reduce costs and construction timelines.
The design research on the project was focused in two main arenas. First was material and production where we spent a great deal of time and energy researching the different production methods in China around Hong Kong. The research was geared to utilising local materials and the technological strength of China to keep down costs but maximise innovation. Whenever possible we sought to work with Artisans in making of residence. The second avenue of research was in the design as we did not want it wholly foreign to the clients, being a foreign office. We researched Feng Shui principles for placement of doors, beds, water, and heating elements as well as spatial organisation. We looked at traditional design motifs and material palettes of wood in Chinese Architecture and in the social organisation such as placing the round table in the centre of the living space. Round tables being traditional in Chinese culture became the primary driver of the radiating ceiling which locates the table as the hearth of the living space without dividing it into a separate space.
Even though we researched the methods of manufacture a great deal one of the greatest challenges to the project was working with local contractors who were primarily concerned with speed of construction rather than quality of work. Careful control over off-site manufacture helped to ensure the quality of construction before it reached the job-site but it wouldn't guarantee that manufacturers wouldn't choose to use a scale model as a reference instead of drawings or an issued 3dimesnional file. Standards were vastly different and many standardised construction methods in Europe and not normal in Hong Kong. Just a few examples, as we saw the walls put up without any insulation towards the exterior and the pipework would be cemented in before design had even begun.
Designed by Affect-t. Our studio is conceived as a multidisciplinary design firm whose purpose is the creation of space, objects, and installations which are directly accessible through their affects. Using design and construction the studio aims to create spaces with a unique and lasting visual, physical, and emotional experience.

Chances are you probably haven't given much thought to how the shop of your cabinet manufacturer is laid out, but you should.
Does the shop have ample space to properly store materials before being made into casework?
If not, it's possible the environment may adversely affect your finished cabinet before one piece is even cut. Our shop has dedicated shelving areas to ensure that all materials are inventoried and stored in a manner that guarantees no breakage or damage occurs.
Does the shop have dedicated work zones to increase efficiency and minimize the risk of accidents?
Our shop has areas designated for cutting, routing, edgebanding, and assembly. There is plenty of space between each work zone, and we have mobile carts to easily move pieces from one station to the next to minimize the risks of accidents or errors.
Is the shop able to work on more than one job at a time?
Thanks to our efficient shop layout and high-tech machines, in collaboration with our skilled employees, Diversified Fixture is able to handle multiple jobs within the same day. At any one time, our employees can be working on upwards of 3 or 4 different jobs which allows us to use our machine and labor time efficiently, ultimately providing our customers as quick of a turnaround time as possible.
Is the shop able to allocate jobs to those who are most qualified to do them?

RAVE AT THE TROC
Posted on July 8, 2015 by mikeelphick
"Rock Around the Clock is playing at the Troc," was the police constable's explanation for the huge traffic jam that had paralyzed most of London. The offending cinema was the Trocadero in the Elephant & Castle section of South London. We were driving from West London to Soho, so that we could hang out at the Nucleus—a basement club where jazz musicians jammed all night. At first, it seemed incredible that a single film showing could tie up traffic so completely. But thick fog limited visibility to about thirty yards. And the Troc was a huge grey stone building that occupied an entire city block–with a seating capacity of around 3500.
Several years later, we heard that the Troc had closed and was soon to be demolished. That gave us a crazy idea. We had been running parties in vacant buildings ranging from houses to large barns. If we could take over the Troc before it was demolished, we would have our biggest rave yet.
Three major players were involved in the criminal enterprise. Stan, the group's intellectual, was responsible for organization and promotion. Ken, a big muscular guy, did all the heavy lifting—both literally and figuratively. He was our expert on breaking and entering. Lastly, I organized the music and transportation.
A couple of weeks before the event, Ken broke into the Troc to check it out. The place had been left unlocked for the convenience of the contractors preparing for demolition. The only security was a few chains and padlocks. The seats on the ground floor had all been removed–which would be okay for dancing, though the floor sloped somewhat. Most of the power had been cut off, but there was a temporary supply to provide light for workers and to power their tools. That meant we might have to use musical instruments such as horns that did not require amplification. For lighting we could use kerosene lamps, including a huge red lantern we had stolen from the bridge connecting Eel Pie Island to the shore of the Thames.
After we decided on a date, Stan started promoting the event via the usual grapevine. But because this was going to be our largest rave ever, he decided to promote it on a pirate radio station as well.
The rave started out just fine. There was enough electricity to power the amplifiers for the guitars and singers, and the kerosene lamps provided enough lighting—but with an appropriately spooky atmosphere. A couple of hundred people arrived before the cops shut us down.
Surprisingly, none of the three conspirators were arrested. I had slipped out to get some food and booze for the musicians. When I returned, the place was cordoned off by the police. Early arrivals were detained for questioning. By threatening them with arrest for trespassing, the cops hoped to get them to identify the organizers. Most of the people had merely heard about the rave at their local coffee shop or on pirate radio. A couple of the musicians identified me as their contact—but I wasn't there and I wasn't the only named contact. Ken pretended to be just a dancer and to be too dumb to understand the questions.
When the cops arrived, Stan climbed into an empty storage attic over the projection room. He took a bottle of Scotch and a couple of reefers. The police did a pretty thorough search of the building. But they didn't feel inclined to climb into the attic. Instead, they shoved a police dog up there. The dog found Stan and licked his face. Then Stan filled the ash tray with Scotch and the dog drank it. So Stan kept refilling the ash tray. Pretty soon, the dog got drunk and fell asleep. Eventually, the cops climbed into the attic and dragged out Stan and their dog.
"If you hurt that dog, you can go to jail, because it is the same as assaulting a police officer," said the police inspector. "In that case, Constable Rover is in big trouble, because he got drunk on the job," replied Stan. Though the police were pretty sure Stan was an organizer of the rave, they finally released him because they knew his story about the dog would merely amuse a judge and jury.
