Q: What is a "Cloud OS"? The term is getting 'hotter' with Microsoft Azure and Windows 7.
 What are the benefits + how does the status quo of desktop computing now change? Does the machine no longer need an OS installation (or a highly stripped down version of a typical OS)... what is needed to interact with the 'Cloud' ?
Update: Received my first RTFM on SO today.
To elaborate.. I'm interested in knowing how different is the 'new way' w.r.t. the services provided by a typical desktop OS today (read Win XP/Vista, linux flavors galore, etc.)... NOT the benefits of cloud computing.

A: Basically its Microsoft's form of competition against Google's recent web-apps boom. So if you want to know what it's all about just open up google docs and gmail, and there you go :)
Now on a personal note, I'm glad Microsoft and Apple(Mobile Me) are trying to fight back against Google. We need the competition, so us the users can choose and get better apps.
Also I'm really not a fan of any corporation, so I'm not all that excited about Google killing off everyone else any more than Microsoft doing the same to others.

A: When Microsoft says Azure is a Cloud OS, what they mean is that it provides the same kind of services to developers targeting the "Cloud" abstractions that are akin to what a Desktop OS provides developers targeting desktop.
Amitabh Srivistava gave a great interview on Channel 9 explaining it. Basically, if you want to write a notepad application for a desktop user, you don't have to be concerned with writing code that interprets key strokes from the keyboard, or that sets up communications with a printer. This is due to the desktop os. Similarly, Azure lets a developer focus on their cloud app better by abstracting things like load balancing, authentication and authorization, failover, and a lot of concerns that one would normally have to address when developing for the Cloud.

A: Two buzzwords.

A: Old school network diagrams always showed the internet as a cloud.  Microsofts approach is still a client-server model, although a real 'cloud' os in theory would be a SOA architecture of loosely fit components interconnecting and working together without really being aware of eachother.  Example: creating services for email, document authoring, file storage, etc- which could all be interconnected by different services that don't erally need to be aware of the final product.
So different way of thinking of it: the 'system' exists in the network- not one single location.
Gains: Transparency, redundancy (not only of each service, but for replacing parts if vendors drop out) and availability (as long as you are also connected to the network).
Losses: Vendor lock-ins, vendor's dropping out, interoperability nightmare, as far as I know- there are no real standards for this model.
Microsoft did not coin 'cloud' computing term.  Please refer to the wikipedia entry for a more specific definition and etymology.

A: whats with the RTFM questions on SO lately?  unless I'm missing some deeper meaning, your questions are obvious.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

Cloud computing is Internet-based
  ("cloud") development and use of
  computer technology ("computing"). The
  cloud is a metaphor for the Internet
  (based on how it is depicted in
  computer network diagrams) and is an
  abstraction for the complex
  infrastructure it conceals.[1] It is a
  style of computing in which IT-related
  capabilities are provided "as a
  service",[2] allowing users to access
  technology-enabled services from the
  Internet ("in the cloud")[3] without
  knowledge of, expertise with, or
  control over the technology
  infrastructure that supports them.[4]
  According to a 2008 paper published by
  IEEE Internet Computing "Cloud
  Computing is a paradigm in which
  information is permanently stored in
  servers on the Internet and cached
  temporarily on clients that include
  desktops, entertainment centers, table
  computers, notebooks, wall computers,
  handhelds, sensors, monitors, etc."[5]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_Services_Platform

Microsoft's Azure Services Platform is
  a cloud platform (cloud computing
  platform as a service) offering that
  "provides a wide range of internet
  services that can be consumed from
  both on-premises environments or the
  internet"[1]. It is signficant in that
  it is Microsoft's first step into
  cloud computing following the recent
  launch of the Microsoft Online
  Services offering.
  ...
  The idea and push from Microsoft to
  compete directly in the software as a
  service model that Google's Google
  Docs have offered is increasingly seen
  by them and others as an important
  next step in application development.
  In this idea, a software doesn't have
  to be installed and managed on the
  user's computer. It also allows files
  and folders to be accessed from the
  web.

A: So far, it looks like the idea of having software & your data hosted at msft's data centre.
SOA seems to be related to what cloud is offering.
No need to have local software (office will run from internet, your docs will be saved there. so that, you can access it anywhere). I think, the target could be big companies - thereby giving them services (software + hardware (data storage + processing power)) on subscription basis.
An expert can shed light on how this can be useful?
Will people be willing to put everything in the cloud?

A: Cloud is Time Sharing.  Us old timers remember those days. You either wrote your own apps and ran it on their (the Time Share/Cloud providers) systems or you use the software they supplied. Usually word processors and accounting apps.
Google Apps is cloud. And since you get HD space you can already serve up your own app running on their systems.
Time Share was all the rage in the 70's and 80. Cause maintaining a system of your own wasn't cheap. Back then the smallest system any company ran was a mid-range (like Honeywell, AS400, Dec, etc, etc). Fell out of favor as the PC became popular. I remember  when Lotus 1-2-3 came out and everyone predicted it would destroy what was left of Time Sharing. And it (along with dBase and other aps) did.
It's funny how we re-invite everything.
PS: Forgot one thing about Time Sharing. Since the Net wasn't around, you had to schedule your time. SO your staff would go to the providers Data Center and work. It was like renting space and the systems. Time Share and Cloud operate differently, but the function is the same.

A: Well like many new terms, there can be more than one answer.  Frequently it can be defined as a compute platform, where the developer doesn't have to worry about resource management, scalability or hardware failures, because the cloud infrastructure handles it.  Here is a link to some information the company I work for has:
http://www.appistry.com/resource-library/index.html
There are some good white papers linked here that might be helpful to you.
-Brett

A: A cloud operating system primarily manages the operation of one or more virtual machines within a virtualized environment.
Microsoft Windows Azure and Google Chrome OS are among current examples of cloud operating systems.
Azure App Service is one of the common and most used services. While it is possible to immediately deploy apps, jobs etc., to the app service, a common factor that baffles decision makers is the wide spectrum of the tiers (options of plans) available in the marketspace.

Q: Screenreader WPF Groupstyles I am trying to set the AutomationProperties.Name property for controls in a GroupStyle control template and it seems to produce nothing. I have it set on the Expander in my template but it says nothing even when I just put in some text without binding. I also tried putting a setter on the GroupItem and that also didn't work. I'm at a bit of a loss. I was hoping the property on the group item would solve it.

A: The problem is really about how the screenreader is supposed to reach the value. Groupitems are accessible from cursor via MSAA, but not via UIA. UIA is the primary API to use for accessibility in WPF.
The core problem with UIA and WPF, is when trying to read controls which are found by cursor (other ways are focus and caret), usually returns the main window instead.
As a developer of a screenreader myself, the best way to deal with this is to use both MSAA and UIA. If UIA returns nothing of value, fall back to using MSAA.

A: Try setting AutomationProperties.HelpText alongside with Name.

A: You can use DisplayMemberPath="Name":
    <ListBox x:Name="lstbx" Margin="71,45,99,78" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=win, Path=Samples}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" >

Or you can use .ToString():
public class sample
{
    public string Name { set; get; }

    public string Location { set; get; }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return Name;

22 die in blast near Christian church in Egypt

An explosion at a Cairo Coptic cathedral has killed at least 22 people, Egyptian state TV said.
The blast at the Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in the Abbasiya neighbourhood also wounded 10 people, the Egyptian health ministry said. The cathedral is home to the office of its spiritual leader, Pope Tawadros II.
Egypt's official news agency said a bomb was lobbed inside a chapel that is adjacent to the cathedral's outer wall.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, but jihadists in Sinai have targeted Christians before, as well as Muslims they accuse of working with the government.
Copts, who make up about 10 per cent of Egypt's population of 90 million, have faced persecution and discrimination that spiked during the 30-year rule of Hosni Mubarak, who was toppled by a popular uprising in 2011.

Nov 4, 2009 2 min read ArchitectureCitiesDesignGraphic designBooksUrban theory
Operating at the intersection of data visualisation and urbanism, the Atlas work of Dutch book designer Joost Grootens is without peer. At its best, graphic design and data visualisation reveals new truths, ways of seeing and understanding. In Grootens' work on publications such as the Metropolitan World Atlas this focus has been on the urban realm, and in Atlases such as the New Dutch Water Defence Line, and the Vinex Atlas, specific aspects of the Dutch built environment. But while they may be preoccupied with specific elements of the Dutch landscape, they reveal a process of representation which rewards patient study.
" Its position in the landscape, the forts, the inundation system, the geomorphology, the strategic system and recent developments can be read off in maps rendered so as to give an understanding of all aspects of the defence line landscape. The defence line reveals itself as a many-tentacled military defensive system of forts, group shelters and polders that can be flooded at the threat of war. The maps show the cohesion of the defence line as a landscape-strategic structure as well as the topographic composition of this structure in layers and components. The more detailed maps of the forts display the wealth of historic places, insertions in the landscape and defining elements."
As with the Vinex Atlas, an exhaustive, analytical guide to the Vinex districts across the Netherlands, a seemingly dry topic of limited appeal is embued with a rigourous aesthetic sensibility.
In December this year, 010 will publish an Atlas of the Conflict - Israel-Palestine, designed by Grootens, and in January 2010 a Grootens monograph entitled I swear I use no art at all will be published, taking an analytic, atlas-like approach to mapping his own work:
"A monograph that works like an atlas, it charts in a systematic and neutral fashion the first 100 books designed by Grootens in the past ten years. In the first chapter, '10 years', Grootens uses timelines, lists and plans to trace the course of his career as a designer, the people he works with, the places where the work gets done."

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Conservation Trust for North Carolina has named Reid Wilson, former chief of staff of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, its new executive director.
Wilson, who joins the Raleigh-based group March 3, most recently was senior vice president for M&R Strategic Services in Washington, D.C., providing advice and strategic planning assistance to environmental groups.
Before serving as chief of staff for former EPA Administrator Carol Browner from 1998 to 2000, Wilson was EPA's deputy chief of staff from 1995 to 1998, and public liaison director from 1993 to 1995.
From 1989 to 1993, he was political director for the national Sierra Club.
The Conservation Trust for North Carolina, which serves as a land trust and resource for the state's network of 22 local and regional land trusts, has helped protect more than 85,000 acres in 500 locales in the state.

Q: How to use StringByAppendingFormat in Xcode 6 Code:
var postString: NSString = NSString .stringByAppendingFormat("userName=\(userName) & password = \(Password)")

Why I am getting error as:
(NSString, CVarArgType...) -> NSString' is not convertible to NSString.

A: stringByAppendingFormat: is an instance method on NSString, not a class method. Therefore, you can't call it with NSString.stringByAppendingFormat(...), you have to call it on an exiting string:
var someExistingString = "..."
var postString = someExistingString.stringByAppendingFormat("userName = %@ & password = %@", userName, password)

That being said, you don't need to use stringByAppendingFormat if you're just constructing a new string from scratch, you can use Swift's String Interpolation directly:
var postString = "userName = \(userName) & password = \(password)"

A: You're getting that error because you're trying to call an instance method stringByAppendingFormat on a the class NSString. Here's an example that compiles:
var userName = "Dave"
var Password = "password"

var select = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE "

var postString: NSString = select.stringByAppendingFormat("userName=\(userName) & password = \(Password)")

Note: You never want to do something like this because of SQL Injection.

Band D General Purposes 2012 , item 45. PDF 45 KB
B 120517 Recharge for Parish Elections , item 45. PDF 54 KB
The report was presented by Cllr Michael Wassell, Deputy Leader & Executive Member for Finance & Democratic Services, which debated the possibility of recouping the costs incurred by the District Council in the organisation of elections on behalf of Parish Councils. Sue Daniels, Electoral Services Manager was also present.
Concerns expressed by some Members were with regard to the percentage of increase which would be quite large for some parishes, and questioned if negotiations would take place with parishes, that some parishes may not want contested elections, and requested that communications with parishes were managed to enable clarity and understanding with them and not to conflict with Breckland Council. Cllr Wassell explained that there had been no communication with Town and Parish Clerks as yet, as it was not known whether the decision would be made to charge or not charge.
Whilst one Councillor stated his parish had decided there were very few contested elections, he believed the majority of parishes would brace themselves with regard to having to start paying for elections, and a lot would ring fence in future, another Councillor was very concerned with the proposal and explained that currently Thetford Town Council paid a very high precept which would need to be increased. Cllr Wassell stated that The Returning Officer was allowed to recoup all expenses for parish elections.
A Councillor commented that the proposal would bring the Authority inline with other districts.
RESOLVED that the General Purposes supported the proposal and that a report be submitted to Council.
RECOMMEND to Council that :
1. The proposal to pass on the full cost of Parish Council elections for 'ordinary elections' to the Parishes concerned be supported
2. Introduce a system of recharge for uncontested elections

Street Trading PDF 79 KB
Draft street trading policy conditions (djo version) , item 47. PDF 83 KB
The report which proposed a revision of existing street trading provisions and the extension of a street trading consent scheme to the whole district, was presented by Fiona Inston, Licensing and Business Support Manager. She advised that if the proposal was recommended, after the period of consultation a further report would be brought for consideration to the General Purposes Committee on 19 September, 2012.
A Councillor asked her if she was satisfied that renewal processes were as efficient as they should be, given the proposed annual renewal fee was only £7.73 less than the initial fee, to which she replied she was confident the process was as efficient as it could be.
A further question was asked with regard to there being any scope for street traders to come to Breckland Council for their inspection/renewal so that the fee could be reduced, which should be considered as the process needed to be as efficient as possible, to which she replied it could be considered as part of the consultation just as other comments received back from consultees would be the subject of further negotiation when the example was given of a six month option to the scheme so as not to discriminate against those who did not trade for 12 months of the year.
It was proposed that a Street Trading Consent Plate would be issued which must be clearly displayed on the vehicle, trailer or stall so as to be visible to the public, to which a Councillor asked what other areas undertook the same system. The Licensing and Business Support Manager stated it was a Breckland Council initiative which would use the technology and infrastructure already in place for taxi licensing.
She was asked what discussions if any, had taken place with neighbours to see what they proposed to do, as to obtain a wider standardised scheme across Norfolk could reduce the unit costs. She explained shared working discussions had taken place at sub groups and other local authorities were looking at the same type of proposed scheme.
It was asked if there was a possibility of having a reciprocal arrangement with other districts, especially when street traders lived on the border of three districts and the nature of their businesses were not restricted to one district. If Breckland Council did not inspect the street traders as they had been inspected by another authority, could there be a reduced licence fee, to which the Licensing and Business Support Manger said that legislation underpinned the proposals but she would look into the suggestion as part of the consultation.
The Chairman asked if the Authority owned any intellectual property rights on the processes and whether the fees could be "rounded up".
If the proposed scheme was approved following Council on 25 October, 2012, street traders would have until 25 March 2013 to comply and enforcement action would be taken if they did not. Information would be available to view on the Public Register just as it was for taxis and ... view the full minutes text for item 47.

"That under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and the public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act."
ITEMS FROM WHICH THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC ARE EXCLUDED
RESOLVED that under Section 100(A) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and the public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involved the disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 of the Schedule 12A to the Act.
Review of Strategic Housing Service
View the reasons why item 50. is restricted
Roger Wilkin, Interim Housing Manager presented the report which sought comments upon proposals to commence formal staff consultation on a proposed restructure of the service which would represent cost efficiencies, service effectiveness, be a more responsive service, and added that he was confident that service levels would be improved and the proposed new scheme could be delivered within the staffing contingent. Reports from the Business Development Team had been shared with Principal Officers.
The idea of higher customer satisfaction and a more efficient Housing Team was applauded. The Allocations Policy concerned one Councillor and questions were asked about out-of-hours services, foreign language assistance, interviews prior to going on the Housing Register and that the most vulnerable customers did not become casualties of efficiencies.
He clarified that "out-of-hours" was not fundamental to the proposal and if Members wished to set aside that issue to be looked at separately, it could be reviewed over the next few months.
RESOLVED that "out-of-hours" should be raised with Cabinet via the Executive Member for Planning and Environmental Services, as it was not for the General Purposes Committee to decide.
RESOLVED that it should be raised with Cabinet that an evaluation of past reviews be provided to ensure they have been monitored and had produced the results envisaged as well as being fit for purpose.
RECOMMEND to Council that they :
1. Approve the commencement of formal consultation with relevant employees concerning a proposed restructure of the service

10th Mountain Division (LI) medics participated in an in-depth nurse clinical training day at the Medical Simulation Training Center, Fort Drum, N.Y, on April 9th, 2020.
The training provided additional tools for medics to use in situations they may not be familiar with. The course also taught skills that are outside their scope of practice, but needed in emergency situations.
"Most of the medics are familiar with trauma-like settings where they come in, stabilize someone, and then evacuate them," said Capt. Paul Yi, an instructor, and the 2nd Brigade Combat Team nurse. "What they learned today are all skills that medics can implement in their careers, even if they were forward deployed overseas."
The eight-hour training included lessons on basic medication administration, the different oxygen augmentations and ventilators, body mechanics and moving patients, and how to use an electrocardiogram to find cardiac abnormalities.
Pvt. Maxwell Siner, a medic from C Company, 210th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, said he felt fortunate to be a part of the training event.
"I am happy to be a part of this course because, at advanced individual training, we didn't learn how to move patients in a hospital setting," said Siner. "Instead, we focused on a trauma setting. We didn't learn how to take care of them in a more compassionate way and long term. We learned how to get the job done and how to do it efficiently."
"I think the training has gone very well," said Yi. "The Soldiers are taking the classes very seriously and are being very attentive. We are very glad to have them on board."

The Life of the Prophet Muhammad, 4 Vol. (set)
Garnet Publishing
Binding: Paperback, 2036 pages 4 vol set
Ibn Kathir
Compiled in the 14th century AD by a prominent Syrian scholar, the al-Sira al-Nabawiyya of Ibn Kathir is a full examination, in chronological order, of the background, life and mission of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Drawn from the earliest and most reliable Arabic sources, it offers, in this close English translation, the fullest available account of the historical circumstances and personalities most important in the founding of Islam. Ibn Kathir's work offers a fine example of Islamic scholarship; the quotations and anecdotes that constitute its core are evaluated in terms of the trustworthiness of their sources. Variant wordings that are related through differing lines of transmission are noted, and Ibn Kathir gives both his own assessments and those of the earliest Islamic authorities concerning the likely authenticity of these records. The comments and conversations, derived from ancient texts, that are quoted in this work constitute the basis of our knowledge of Islam during the lifetime of its founder.
The first volume of this four-volume set relates the history of the Arab tribes who were the Prophet's forebears, the lives of his parents, and the accounts of unusual events surrounding his birth. It then goes on to relate anecdotes regarding his childhood, the signs of the prophethood, and the first revelations.
Volume II looks at the early years of the prophethood and includes such episodes as the Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and the ascent to Heaven, and the emigration to Medina. It gives details of events in the two years following the emigration, including the building of the Holy Mosque and various military expeditions, and reveals how Islam, as a faith, developed.
Volume III gives details of the numerous battles and campaigns waged between 3 AH and 8 AH to defend and spread the religion of Islam.
Volume IV continues with the events of 9 AH and 10 AH, and presents the different accounts of the hajjat al-wada' (the farewell pilgrimage) and the events surrounding the death of the Prophet Muhammad.
Ibn Kathir was born in approximately 1313 in the Boesra district of eastern Damascus, and studied with the many great scholars working in the city during his time. He died in 1374.
Born in England and educated at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, Trevor Le Gassick is Professor of Arabic Literature at the University of Michigan. He has devoted himself to the translation and commentary of important works, both contemporary and from earlier eras, that reveal important aspects of the rich texture of the literary culture of the Arabs. His works include: Major Themes in Modern Arabic Thought, The Defence Statement of Ahmad 'Urabi and Critical Perspectives on Naguib Mahfouz.

Global Spa Roundup: Dior Institut
By Jessica Fortescue
The new Dior Institut, located at the Plaza Athénée hotel in Paris, is no ordinary spa. Descend the lushly carpeted private stairway and you'll find yourself in a peaceful haven with a vaulted ceiling and well-positioned mirrors that create the illusion of an even larger space. The white-marble floor is heated to allow maximum comfort in those barefoot moments, while a gray-and-mauve color scheme and Dior's signature geometric pattern decorate the space. The five treatment rooms are the essence of discreet luxury, with heated beds, walk-in showers, and product cabinets illuminated through tinted glass so as not to upset the uncluttered tone.
Then there are the treatments. The Institut's range of face and body therapies improve skin tone and complexion through the spa's unique 3D Lifting Massage and micro-abrasion techniques. (Coupled with a posture-boosting massage, it's hard not to notice results.) Meanwhile, there are a number of experiences specific to the Institut, such as the Reviving Leg treatment for those exhausted from a day trawling the boutiques, the 75 Minute Anti-Jet Lag treatment, or the signature L'or de Vie miracle facial, which employs Dior's intensely nourishing Or de Vie face cream, created with grape extracts from the company's Chateau d'Yquem vineyard. Men are equally well catered for, with over 10 dedicated face and body treatments (facials include the Dior Homme range). If a trip to Paris isn't complete without a stop at the Dior flagship, now a trip to the City of Lights isn't whole without a visit to the Dior Institut.
The Dior Institut at the Plaza Athénée is located at 25 avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris, France; 33 (0)1 53 67 65 35.

Researchers studying how an intense cannabis consumption method could impair driving ability have turned to a simple device that many people have lying around their homes.
Colorado State University faculty member Brian Tracy is collaborating with a group of researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder to study the effects of dabbing, a highly potent method of ingesting cannabis. In a first-of-its kind project that could eventually help prevent driving under the influence, they are examining how dabbing affects things like balance, movement ability and reaction time—and they're using an Apple iPod for several of the measurements.
Tracy created four of the tests being administered to the research subjects. He's using the gyroscope and accelerometer in the iPod Touch to measure bodily movements, and the widely available device is proving just as accurate as equipment costing thousands of dollars more.
Dabbing is the vaporization and inhalation of cannabis concentrates, and users report that dabs provide an immediate rush, which could affect their ability to drive safely.
"Users get very high, very rapidly," Tracy said. "It's almost instantaneous, and the feeling is very strong."
The problem is, there has been little to no research on the physical and health-related effects of dabbing, like its impact on driving ability, so the results of the new study are expected to be groundbreaking.
By advertising for participants, the team identifies existing dabbers who agree to be studied. Using a van outfitted with testing equipment, researchers have been traveling around the Boulder area for several months to test those participants at a prearranged time when the subjects plan to be dabbing. The research team parks outside participants' homes to conduct an initial set of tests that establish their sober baseline, and then after the subjects dab inside their homes, they return to the van to undergo the same tests under the influence.
The study only involves participants who have dabbed before; the team isn't involved with handling or dispensing the drug to participants.
"The team is not providing or administering the cannabis," Tracy said. "The subjects are doing what they would normally do, to themselves. It's an observational study."
The three-year project, called "Effects of Dabbing on Marijuana Intoxication, Driving and Cognition," was funded by a $839,500 grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to researchers at CU. It is the first study of dabbing's effect on motor function and reaction time.
The tests that Tracy provided are focused on movement ability. His tests measure subjects' ability to maintain balance and rapidly move a leg, tap a finger and move an arm. An app collects the data using the sensors built into the iPod Touch, which can be affixed to the participant's body during the tests.
"Testing has shown that this $200 iPod Touch is just as accurate as the high-tech $1,000 accelerometer I have in my lab," he said. "And the accelerometer can't leave the lab, because it is connected to very expensive equipment and amplifiers that are not easily portable. The iPod is both inexpensive and portable, so it opens up access to researchers in many different settings."
The ballistic leg movement test measures how quickly participants can move their leg, similar to the motion of lifting one's foot off the gas pedal. The second test tracks participants' neuromotor speed by measuring their rate of finger tapping. In the balance task, participants try to stand steady, with their eyes open and then closed, to measure their postural stability. The last test, the ballistic arm punch, measures subjects' peak acceleration and reaction time, which can relate to how quickly they'd be able to turn a steering wheel under the influence.
In total, participants complete 10 tests, so researchers can get an accurate read on the participants' overall cognitive and movement ability—both when they're sober and when they're high.
Recreational marijuana has been approved by voters in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Maine, California, Massachusetts, Nevada, Alaska and Washington, D.C., so it's becoming increasingly important to learn more about this method of consuming cannabis.
With legal pot comes a problem—how do we weed out impaired drivers?
Do cannabis users think package warnings are needed?
To measure impairment from cannabis, I have developed a new public health app that measures actual impairment in 2 minutes--it is called DRUID (an acronym for "DRiving Under the Influence of Drugs") available now in the Apple App Store and in Google Play for the Android. DRUID measures reaction time, decision making, hand-eye coordination, time estimation and balance, and then statistically integrates hundreds of data points into an overall impairment score. DRUID takes just 2 minutes.
DRUID allows cannabis users (or others who drink alcohol, use prescription drugs, etc.) to self-assess their own level of impairment and (hopefully) decide against driving if they are impaired. Prior to DRUID, there was no way for an individual to accurately assess their own level of impairment. DRUID also demonstrates that it is feasible to measure impairment reliably by the roadside, not just exposure to a drug.


After entering the gallery and exchanging greetings with gallery-keeper Ron Segev, I looked over his shoulder and was almost immediately aware that I was looking at something profoundly disturbing, and profoundly important. I'm referring to the work of Ahmed Alsoudani, one of four artists represented in "The Atrocity Exhibition", currently installed at Thiery Goldberg on Rivington Street on the Lower East Side.
Alsoudani is a young artist, currently living in Connecticut, who was born in Iraq and came to the U.S. after the first Gulf War. He's an American citizen today, but his work has not forgotten the recent history of his native land and the enormous and continuing human disaster whose burden (of the guilt, if not so much the grief) is so closely shared by his adopted home.
My first thought when I saw these two large drawings was that I was looking at a twenty-first-century "Guernica". The technique is ultimately Alsoudani's own, but much of his subject and elements of his dramatic representation of violence evokes the truth and the power of Picasso's anti-war masterpiece, the honest outrage of Goya's "Disasters of War", or the grotesque beauty of Miro's anti-fascist "Black and Red" series.
All of my references are to Spanish artists whose work was impacted by fascist or imperial violence, but they occurred to me even before I had learned about the artist's origins or had read that his work is intended to specifically address the savagery being visited on the land he had to flee years ago, but where his mother and others still remain. Now I don't consider it a stretch to see a connection in this small gallery space between the atrocities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the memorials created by artists whose own countrymen were sacrificed to power, greed, ignorance and fear, and our own atrocity in our own century and a memorial (or series of memorials, since the cataclysm continues) created by another artist, again a countryman of the sacrificial victims, again the very same scourges.
These are fearsomely-magnificent works. I am very grateful to have gotten even a small peek into this artist's extraordinary vision and imagination.
I was also very impressed with the work of the other three artists being shown this month, Ben Grasso, who regularly shows wonderful exploding stuff mid-explosion, and who is associated with Thiery Goldberg, Wendy Heldmann, who shows aftermaths, and lives and works in Los Angeles, and Molly Larkey, represented by two sculptures from her "Bombs" series, and who I think is showing in several spaces around town just now, including PS1.
By the way, the title of the show, "The Atrocity Exhibition", describes its contents much more straightforwardly than is usually the case these days.
If there are no other images in this entry it's only because of the difficulties I encountered in capturing any decent document of the other works. There are a few small pictures on the gallery's own site, but not enough at the moment to keep wise visitors from investigating themselves.

Q: Is it normal to see lazy loaded module in webpack bundle analyzer? Problem
My problem is that webpack analyzer keeps showing me the module that I don't want. I don't know if it's normal or not.
Code
import React, { ReactElement, Suspense } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
const SwaggerUI = React.lazy(() => import('swagger-ui-react'));

const rootElement = document.getElementById('root');

const App = (): ReactElement => {
  return (

      <Suspense fallback={
Loading...
}>
        <SwaggerUI url='https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json' />
      </Suspense>

  );
};

if (module.hot) {
  module.hot.accept();
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);

How I run analyzer
package.json:
"analyzer:prod": "BUNDLE_ANALYZER=true NODE_ENV=production webpack --mode production"

command:
npm run analyzer:prod

Result

A: Yes, I think it is normal that it is showing you lazy loaded components as well. Those components will be loaded lazily (at user's click or request), but we still care about their sizes and want to analyze those details in this view.

UNIQUE SINCE 1492
22st Festival
Habanos s.a – Sitio Oficial
Habanos S.A. es la empresa líder mundial en la comercialización de puros premium.
Named after William Shakespeare's tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Habano date back to 1875.
The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th Century under the direction of Don 'Pepin' Rodríguez, a talented promoter, who was amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his hey day no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.
Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand. Following his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been commemorated on a band but it has also served to describe the marque's most famous size – Romeo y Julieta Churchills.
The 21st century has seen the arrival of two additional sizes using the name . The first called Short Churchills, a robusto size that had been missing from the range, was added in 2006. And the second, launched at the12th Festival del Habano in 2010, was Wide Churchills, which boast a 55 ring gauge to mark the trend amongst enthusiasts for stouter girth.
Romeo y Julieta's balanced and aromatic blend of selected filler and binder leaves from the zone make it the classic medium bodied Habano.
Today Romeo y Julieta is as well known around the world as ever and offers the widest range of , – long filler, totally hand made – sizes available in any Habano brand.
A word with many meanings. In Cuba it refers to the size and shape of a cigar (vitola de galera factory name, vitola de salida market name) and also to a particular size of cigar in an individual packing. In Spain it means a cigar band or ring (vitolfilia cigar band collecting). To some it has an almost spiritual meaning encapsulating every aspect of their cigar of choice.
The finest tobacco-growing land in the world, Vuelta Abajo is the main source of tobacco for Habanos, and the only zone that grows all types of leaf: wrappers, fillers and binders. A Protected Denomination of Origin.
Long filler. Filler that is made from full-length tobacco leaves.
Totally by hand. A description created in Havana to differentiate between Cuban methods of making cigars by hand from the semi-mechanised metods used elsewhere that can legally be described as "Hecho a Mano" or "Hand Made".

The response on this free crochet blanket pattern has been incredible. It is one of the most popular patterns available on the Red Heart Website that was released this month. I am so happy that you like it!
Did you see Part 1 of the story?
And that was when the planning began….
Knowing that I often bite off more than I can chew, I consciously chose to do only one image and make it big enough to be a blanket rather than several squares with a variety of images. Once I knew that and that I wanted to make it around a holiday theme, I went to Pinterest to search for Valentine related images.
You can see in my pinterest board dedicated to this task that I pinned many different designs and some are even cross-stitch patterns. I was looking for images that didn't have so much detail that I would need a HUGE number of pixels to make it legible. And I was looking for images that I could purchase…since I was going to use it for a design.
Once I had some good ideas from Pinterest, I went to one of my favorite sites to purchase images, Deposit Images.
I found the one I thought was perfect and purchased the vector file. At first, I bought the one with the standard license to see if the image would even be a good fit for my needs. When I knew it was good, then I purchased the extended license to make sure that my image, although pixelated and a small part of the big image, was being used legally for commercial use.
A Standard License is the default type of license. It substantially covers all options of usage (i.e. advertising, web sites, printed materials, catalogues, booklets, packing, professional documents, presentations, movies, video staff, etc.) provided they are not intended for resale.
An Extended License allows commercial use of files in materials for sale or commercial distribution (post-cards, posters, t-shirts, website templates, printed materials, sale of goods created with use of the image, etc.).
Now that I had my image I wanted to use, I had to get it put into pixels. Mikey, of the Crochet Crowd, told me about a free site that could graph an image for me called Stitchboard.com. I used it but I had a hard time getting the stitches to look right. I needed to use a program that would allow me to tweak the image. Yes, there is a lot of tweaking that goes on to make sure the lines look right, the heart looks right, and making sure the actual image looks like it is supposed to look like!
I love that it includes the color key and the stitch and row numbers but, you can see where the lines don't look right and the colors are a bit muddled. It just didn't fit the bill for my needs. So, I used a program that I have been a fan of for years called Stitch Painter 3.
I took the image purchased and had it put into a graph using Stitch Painter and I was then able to tweak the lines and colors just like I wanted. Here was my final image (without the watermark)…the one that my contract crocheter and #1 Minion, Jenni Castaneda, used to make the actual blanket.
There is more to the story…just a click away!
It should read odd rows only. Continue pattern as written for even rows until row 62 then continue with even rows, continue row 55 for odd rows.
Joan, thank you for finding this. Will you update Red Heart with this information? Thank you.
Thank you so much Joan for responding. After frogging many rows and staring at the graph, I finally figured out the problem. I'm 3/4 of the way done now and totally love how it looks.
So what are you supposed to do in rows 55 through 61, then? I don't understand Joan's reply about even and odd rows. Cannot find any updated patterns. Have same problem as 1st comment. Blanket shape is off and colors are off by a square or 2.
Nevermind. I found the updated pattern and redownloaded.
The updated pattern has an error in it, also.
I was having problems with both versions of the pattern.. red heart's instructions on the corrected version was also causing my grid to be off at row 55. I figured out that Row 55 and row 56 instructions should be swapped around.
Row 55 Ch 6, skip 3 ch, hdc in 4th ch from hook and in each of next 2 ch, (sc, ch 3, 3 hdc) in each ch-3 space to last space, skip last space, turn – 54 squares.
Row 56 Slip st in each of first 3 sts, ch 1, (sc, ch 3, 3 hdc) in each ch-3 space of previous row, changing colors as indicated by chart, turn – 54 squares.


Millennials like the simplicity of design, the coolness factor and interior design where less is more.
Mid-century homebuyers like that the home itself is an intrinsic design element one that you are not going to see down the street.
Contemporary and mid centuryhomes are designed to bring the outdoors in work well the trend toward sustainability.
Charlotte homebuyers young and older alike are trending towards smaller footprints in more established neighborhoods away from the pre real estate bust McMansions. Buyers are opting for more usable square footage and smart design.
*Mid-century design is at once practical and as witty as Dr. Seuss rhyme (yes he was mid-century modern too) After moving into our mid-century modern ranch I realized why the bedroom windows were eye level…just high enough to provide light and privacy without the need for blinds. Design genius.
Here's just a couple… Groovy!

Video review: Ford Fiesta ST
Author: Phil Huff | Updated: 05 Jul 2019 11:46
The Ford Fiesta ST offers drivers pure undadulterated thrills. Other cars are cheaper, some are more powerful, but the Fiesta ST strikes a perfect balance. If we gave stars to cars, five just wouldn't be enough.
The sun was just rising over the horizon in France when I was handed the keys to a car. Thanks to something of an emergency, I had to make rather swift progress across the countryside to get to the airport. How I wished at that moment that there was something waiting outside with a powerful V6 and north of 400bhp.
In reality I'd got a compact hatchback with a 1.5-litre petrol engine under the bonnet. It was the seventh generation Fiesta, but with an ST badge glued to the tailgate. That means there was 197bhp under the control of my right foot which, in a relatively lightweight car, translates to a pleasingly rapid 0-62mph dash of 6.5 seconds.
The speedometer will swing all the way to 144mph but obviously, I'd never do that, even though the gendarmerie were still tucked up in bed.
But it is easy enough to access all of that power, the revs rising incredibly quickly and reacting near-instantaneously to throttle inputs. Gear changes come quickly, the lever being quick, precise and easy to shift between ratios.
There are the odd pop and bang from the exhaust, but it's a little muffled. However, there are artificial engine sounds pumped into the cabin to make it feel more soulful and quicker. These systems often fall short of expectations but Ford has got this one spot on, the sound complementing the three-cylinder burble of the 1.5-litre engine.
Bringing the speed back under control is eased with 278mm vented disc brakes that retard the wheels ferociously. Scrub off the speed, turn the corner, then power away, climbing through the revs and gears once again. However, it's what happens on the corner that makes the Fiesta ST.
Reapply throttle then and it positively rockets out of the turn. It provides endless fun.
Switch the car to Sport mode and something spectacular happens. The car encourages you to approach each bend harder and harder, yet always does exactly what it is that you've requested of it. The suspension is stiff, but there's enough movement to inform you almost telepathically just how much grip is available and from which corner of the car. The rear suspension transmits what it's doing directly to the base of the driver's seat. Never has a car of this nature been quite so communicative, while also being quite so capable.
Other cars are cheaper, some are more powerful, but the Fiesta ST strikes a perfect balance
Make your way through the corner, revel in the grip, then add more power and something interesting happens. Rather than understeering, the front end of the car tightens and it finds more grip. It's the optional Performance Pack differential shuffling power around to whatever wheel has the most grip, allowing you to simply bury the throttle into the floor and let the car sort the rest out.
Lift off halfway through and the rear end of the ST will gently swing wide until it's in a straight line pointing towards the inside of the corner. Reapply throttle then and it positively rockets out of the turn. It provides endless fun.
Forget the driving dynamics for one moment, if that's possible, and you'll find the ST is as Fiesta as it's ever been. There's an excellent cabin that's class-leading in design, and that's improved by some glorious leather-covered Recaro seats.
If we gave stars to cars, five just wouldn't be enough
Space is reasonably plentiful and the boot is a decent size, if not class-leading, while a load of technology is installed which is all accessible through an 8in infotainment screen. It'll hold its value quite well, and there will undoubtedly be some very appealing lease deals available meaning you can have a lot of fun for a minimal outlay.
For the ST, the Fiesta's three-door body shell returns, although there is a more practical and heavier five-door version too. There are also three trim levels, with the ST 1 spec falling a little short on expected luxuries, but balancing that with an entry price of just under £19,000. It's best to spend a little more though and move up to the ST 2 or even 3, which come with those Recaro seats and larger alloy wheels. For those two parts alone, it's probably worth the extra few pounds a month and, while you're at it, specify that Performance Pack with its trick differential. Frankly, whatever this car costs, you will not regret it so splash out on the extras too.
As I approached the airport, ready to jump onto the first flight to London, I realised that the 400bhp V6 I wanted wasn't necessary. There's no way I can see any other car covering the distance on public roads any quicker than the Fiesta ST did. And I'm certain that no other would provide quite as engaging and entertaining an experience as this humble hot hatch.
Other cars are cheaper, some are more powerful, but the Fiesta ST strikes a perfect balance between all the opposing compromises that must be made in a car. If we gave stars to cars, five just wouldn't be enough.
Model tested: Ford Fiesta ST 3
From the outside, a standard Ford Fiesta available in three or five-door.
Space is reasonably plentiful and the boot is a decent size, if not class-leading, while a load of technology is installed which is all accessible through an eight-inch infotainment screen.
Driving:
Nothing is as engaging and entertaining an experience as this humble hot hatch. The revs rise incredibly quickly and react near-instantaneously to throttle inputs.
Comfortable up-front, and the biggest Fiesta to date. It's as big as a small hatchback should be.
The ST's engine is among the more fuel-efficient in the hot hatch category, with Ford claiming 47 mpg.

Auto batteries are one of the most important components in your vehicle. Without one, nothing on the car will work. A properly charged battery cranks the engine over at start-up and keeps all accessories and lights working, sometimes even when your car engine is off.
Batteries that are more than 3 years old should be tested and may need to be replaced. If you know the lights or accessories have frequently been left on for long intervals or overnight, you can be sure the life of your battery has been shortened. The same is probably true if it has been exposed to temperature extremes.
Another way to evaluate auto batteries is with a charging and starting diagnosis service. This ensures that each electrical system component is working correctly. Nothing is more frustrating than having a defective alternator cause your battery to fail, leaving you to pay for replacing two parts instead of one.
Palmer's Automotive Repair has ASE Certified technicians who are trained in testing and diagnosis of auto batteries and can quickly pinpoint any electrical or electronics problem. With over 28 years of experience, we work on your car to keep your car working for you.
If you can't remember how old your auto battery is, stop by or call to schedule a battery test appointment. Let us see if you have a problem that can be fixed before you have to deal with an unexpected breakdown.
