Learn how to model business processes whose requirements are not met by the existing library of workflow actions in SharePoint Designer by creating custom workflow actions in SharePoint. SharePoint Designer provides a collection of workflow actions that are available through the Workflow Designer user interface (UI). Although the range of workflow actions that are included in SharePoint Designer) is extensive, it is nevertheless finite. In some cases, you may need to model a business process whose requirements are not met by the existing library of workflow actions that are available in SharePoint Designer.
Recognizing that business processes often have specialized requirements, SharePoint lets you create custom workflow actions. You can develop these custom actions by using Visual Studio, and then package and deploy them to SharePoint. At that point, the custom action becomes available to workflow authors in SharePoint Designer, exactly as if it were among the library of existing actions. This capability lets you customize the functionality in your workflow authoring environment to match any of your specialized business processes.
A sample is provided that illustrates creating a custom action. The sample, along with a readme file, is available here: SharePoint workflow: Create a custom action (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SharePoint-2013-workflow-41e5c0f9).
A business analyst or other non-technical information worker is using SharePoint Designer to author a workflow to model an internal business process—for example, a document-approval process. However, in this company, the final step of the process is, upon final approval, to automatically dispatch the document to an external printer who prints and binds a specified number of copies of the document.
No workflow action that is included in SharePoint Designer 2013 supports dispatching a document to an external printer. Therefore, the company managers decide to invest in providing this custom action (they call it the "Send Files to Printer" action) for the company's information workers.
Vendors expose printing web services. To capitalize, a developer creates a custom Send Files to Printer action, named SendFilesToPrinter. What the developer creates is a declarative workflow activity. The developer also, then, creates the workflow action to provide the drag-and-drop UI for the action in SharePoint Designer.
The developer packages both the SendFilesToPrinter activity and the Send Files to Printer action in a SharePoint solution package (.wsp) file and deploys it as a site collection feature to the SharePoint farm.
After the feature is deployed and activated, the information worker sees the new custom action, Send Files to Printer, in the SharePoint Designer UI along with all of the normally included actions and can use it just like all the others.
An action is a wrapper that abstracts the functionality of its underlying activity in SharePoint Designer. At run time, the underlying activity, not the action itself, is executed in the Windows Server AppFabric. In this sense, actions are just design-time abstractions of underlying functions in the SharePoint Designer workflow authoring environment (in addition to being elements of the SharePoint Designer using interface.
Like all actions, custom actions are "web scoped"—that is, they are activated at the level of the SharePoint website, or SharePoint.SPWeb instance.
Actions are defined in XML definition files that have the .actions4 file name extension. The underlying activity (or activities), on the other hand, are defined in a XAML file.
Visual Studio 2012 now provides a "workflow custom activity" item type within SharePoint projects. You can use the item type to create a custom activity that you can then import as a custom action in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Begin by opening Visual Studio 2012 and creating a new Visual C# project of type SharePoint Project, as shown in Figure 1.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the project name node, and choose Add, New Item. This opens the Add New Item dialog box, as shown in Figure 2.
In the Add New Item dialog box, choose the Workflow Custom Activity item type and give it a meaningful name. In the illustration, the name is "WorkflowActionsModule1". Then choose Add. The new item is created, and you are presented with the activity design surface.
If the Toolbox tab is not already showing, click it to expose the toolbox nodes. Click the SharePoint Workflow node to show the workflow development objects. There is a partial view of objects in the workflow toolbox in Figure 3.
Add new action (.actions4) and activity (.xaml) files to your workflow module, as needed. To add these files, right-click the actions module icon in Solution Explorer, choose Add, and then choose either Add Action (to add a new action4 file) or New Activity (to add a new activity), as appropriate.
After you create your actions module and add your action and activity files, your project should look something like that depicted in Figure 5. You will see one .actions4 file for each action that you added, and one .xaml file for each activity. Additionally, you will have an Elements.xml file and the module's .xaml file.
Custom actions are packaged and deployed as SharePoint Features in SharePoint solution package (.wsp) files. The solution package contains a custom actions module, which is a set of files that are deployed on SharePoint. This module can contain any number of workflow activity definitions, each of which is a .xaml file. The module also contains actions (.actions4) files. Each actions file contains multiple actions that refer to the activities in the module, or to native activities that are available on a default SharePoint installation.
After your custom action is deployed, you can update or remove it very easily. All you have to do is open the activity project in Visual Studio, make the changes that you want, and then package and redeploy as described in the preceding procedure. To remove the custom action, you can just uninstall the feature on the target site collection.
Going to the Site Features page and ensuring that the feature that contains the custom action is activated.
Querying the Workflow Manager Client 1.0 database to ensure that the activity is successfully deployed.

Michael is the bassist, lead singer, and principal songwriter in Parallax Project. While the band actually started as a studio outlet for his songwriting, Michael quickly realized that he loved rock bands too much to ever really go that route. His love of brainy, nerdy punk and new wave music is apparrent in most of the work that can be found on his lengthy discography, from the literate singer/songwriter fare of Jeffrey Gaines and Darcie Miner, through the ultra pop of cult heroes Cherry Twister, all the way up to the contemporary sound of LIVE's Adam Kowalczyk. Michael is known as much for his crafty, melodic style of playing as he is for his large and obnoxious vocabulary.
A true Type A multi-tasker, Michael also owns and operates Red Chuck Studio, where he produces albums and projects for emerging artists in the Middle Atlantic region. Check out the Studio Page to learn more about it.


I received an inquiry for similar images to Cape May Diamond Sunset on my Etsy shop. Here are some photographs from that series.
Thanks for taking the time to look. Prints are available. Contact me and/or put in a custom order from my etsy shop.
So… it's almost Halloween and I made this design that incorporates the holiday and west coast swing.
Like many creative souls, sometimes I wander off into visual projects that don't necessarily happen at an easel. Here's one.
Freelance design keeps me pretty busy and compliments that whole painterly rest thing pretty well. When I'm not painting, I dance socially, build websites, make jewelry, dabble in photography and take on all kinds of marketing projects.
A significant dance style in my current series of paintings on human connection is the addictive and slinky dance, west coast swing. It's this gorgeous, stretchy, rhythmic conversation that's an art in and of itself.
Now that dance has made its way into my artwork, it seems somewhat appropriate to share this here.
I recently set up the Facebook group, Salty Dances at the southern Jersey Shore to provide dancers a place to connect and arrange impromptu meet-ups in beach towns between Atlantic City and Cape May, NJ. If you or someone you know are into social partner dancing, join the group and please add your friends.
Inspired by the group DanceAir, I thought it would be helpful to set up a place for dancers to arrange and share plans with other dancers who also might be in town. West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Blues, Fusion, Hustle, Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Zouk, Country, etc… all dance styles are invited.
Who doesn't want to dance on vacation, right?!
The south Jersey Shore area offers so many excellent venues with great dance floors. Being a resort area, people come and go often which sometimes makes it challenging to find the other dancers down the shore. From outdoor concerts and band performances to open mic nights, nightlife venues, festivals and other events, the area has so much dance magic potential.

New education poliy to help in digital transformation strategy: IAMAI
IAMAI stated that the proposal to set up a dedicated unit to coordinate digital infrastructure, content and capacity building within the education ministry to look after the online learning needs of both school and higher education will pave the way for digital transformation of education.
TIMESOFINDIA.COM
According to IAMAI, the focus on use of technology in education like AI, ML, Blockchain, smart boards, will go a long way in addressing the shortcomings afflicting the current education system in India.
NEW DELHI: The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has welcomed the New Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020) and said that "it paves the way for a comprehensive vision on education that will empower the children and youth into the 21st century."
The industry body said that the new policy will help in bridging the digital divide. It stated that the proposal to set up a dedicated unit to coordinate digital infrastructure, content and capacity building within the education ministry to look after the online learning needs of both school and higher education will pave the way for digital transformation of education.
It mentioned that it is excited about the future with the tremendously rich EdTech ecosystem that is part of the IAMAI community. The best way forward is to grant parity between offline and online courses and education providers, it added.
IAMAI said: "National Education Technology Forum (NETF) under the ministry of education should now consider partnering with the EdTech industry as well as educational institutions to establish Centers of Excellence. This, in turn, will accelerate and streamline research and deployment efforts and enable the NETF to adopt industry-led best practices. These centers must also encourage EdTech startups to innovate solutions that will help increase access and provide harmonized quality of education. Additionally, the government-academia-industry should come together to digitize education, and not just convert content into digital."
It also supported the initiative to develop e-courses in regional languages. IAMAI noted that following this initiative, India will now have the unique opportunity to establish itself as a global destination of the digital-ready workforce of the future.
"Indian EdTech companies are already doing a great job of communicating the importance of constant skilling and thereby skilling hundreds of thousands of professionals every year. If there is a way for such people to move from an online skilling course to formal education, this will go a long way in building the workforce of the future," it further added.
The association also said that digitalisation of India's education will not only enable the new normal of learning from home post-Covid, bringing wide-scale access and regional education but also help address India's sector-wide challenges, for instance, school infrastructure, blackboards, teachers and classroom headcount.

About a month after Rex Ryan was let go, the Buffalo Bills announce Ed Reed won't be back either.
First-year head coach Sean McDermott's Buffalo Bills' staff includes former Ravens' assistants Juan Castillo and Leslie Frazier. It won't, however include former Ravens star safety Ed Reed.
The Bills announced today that Reed, who was hired last January to be Buffalo's assistant defensive backs coach, was one of 14 former Rex Ryan assistants who won't be retained by McDermott.
Dennis Thurman, another former Ravens assistant, was also on that list.
Reed spent 11 of his 12 NFL seasons with the Ravens and established himself as one of the top players in franchise history. He had long expressed an interest in coaching and it was hardly surprising that it was Ryan, his former defensive coordinator with the Ravens, who gave him his first opportunity.
Ryan predicted that Reed would eventually be an NFL head coach.
Ryan was fired by the Bills in December. McDermott, the former Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator, was hired to replace him earlier this month.
In an offseason of expected change, Ravens coach John Harbaugh's first major move was making no change at all.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh has promoted Chris Hewitt to coach the team's secondary after Frazier left following one season to become the Bills' defensive coordinator. Mike MacDonald will assist Hewitt.


Jack the Ripper has been unmasked as a 23-year-old Polish barber, according to new DNA tests carried out on a blood-stained shawl.
Scientists say Aaron Kosminski, whose name has previously been connected to the case, was the notorious serial killer who murdered women on the streets of Victorian London.
He has been named as the Ripper by researchers from two British universities, whose findings were published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.
They said they had identified two sets of DNA traces for Kosminski and one of the Ripper's victims, Catherine Eddowes.
Kosminski was a Polish Jewish immigrant who lived with his two brothers and sister in Greenfield Street, about 200 yards from where the third victim, Elizabeth Stride, was killed.
The research was carried out by Jari Louhelainen of Liverpool John Moores University and David Miller from the University of Leeds.
They wrote: "The killer's identity has remained a mystery to date. Here, we describe the investigation of, to our knowledge, the only remaining physical evidence linked to these murders, recovered from one of the victims at the scene of the crime.
The shawl was bought by businessman Russell Edwards at auction in 2007, then handed over to the scientists.
The item had been reportedly found next to Ms Eddowes' body and was stained with what was believed to be her blood.
She was killed on September 30, 1888 in Mitre Square, Whitechapel – her kidney had been hacked out and her cheeks ripped apart.
She was the second woman to be killed by Jack the Ripper that night – Elizabeth Stride had her throat slit earlier the same evening.
However, critics claim there is no evidence the shawl was found alongside Ms Eddowes' body and say it may have been contaminated over time.
Kosminski, who came to England in 1881, died in an asylum in 1899 of gangrene in the leg.
Jack the Ripper murdered at least five women in Whitechapel, slashing their throats and removing some of their organs.

Q: Memory Leak with DateTime objects? I am having issues with a memory leak which I believe is caused by DateTime objects. My code is receiving an integer from a client, creating a DateTime object, generating an integer out of that object, comparing it to what the client sent, and sending that data back. This happens every 1000ms, when the client sends a request for it's ping.
Client-side Code:
private void sendPingRequest()
{
    List<byte> payloadData = new List<byte>();
    DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;
    int seconds = now.Second;
    int ms = now.Millisecond;
    int totalMs = (1000 * seconds) + ms;
    payloadData.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes((short)26));
    payloadData.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes(4));
    payloadData.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes(totalMs));
    client.GetStream().Write(payloadData.ToArray(), 0, payloadData.Count);
    return;
}

Server-side code: (after the tcplistener reads all of the data)
private void handlePing(byte[] data, TcpClient sender)
{
    int pingRequest = BitConverter.ToInt32(data, 0);
    DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;
    int seconds = now.Second;
    int ms = now.Millisecond;
    int realMs = (1000 * seconds) + ms;
    int diff = realMs - pingRequest;
    List<byte> backData = new List<byte>();
    backData.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes((short)27));
    backData.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes(4));
    backData.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes(diff));
    sender.GetStream().Write(backData.ToArray(), 0, backData.ToArray().Length);
}

When the server receives one of these ping requests and sends data back, the total memory of the application slowly starts increasing, and exponentially increases in speed.

Thanks, any help solving this is much appreciated!

A: The documentation says that the stream you get will not be closed when you close the client.
Depending on your general handling, if this function is the only function operating on the TcpClient's stream, you should probably close it. Maybe even use a using block:
var stream = sender.GetStream();
stream.Write(backData.ToArray(), 0, backData.ToArray().Length);
stream.Close();

or
using(var stream = sender.GetStream())
{
    stream.Write(backData.ToArray(), 0, backData.ToArray().Length);
}

A: Very unlikely a memory leak causes by a DateTime object. Generally, if an object is not Disposable and doesn't have event subscriptions (to a long lasting instance) it shouldn't be the root cause for a memory leak. Having said that you really need a proper tool (eg: RedGate Memory Profiler) to analyze memory leaks.
The code you have provided is not enough to say anything about the memory leak. However, keep in mind you MUST dispose all Disposable objects when you don't need them any more. Use 'using' when you are creating a local disposable object, it will dispose the instance when it is going out of the scope. Specially when you are using any kind of streams it is the best practice to wrap them within a using clause. It will close it and dispose for you(dispose actually closes the stream when disposing).
So, yes. Try disposing all disposable objects and test again. 'backData' object looks suspicious to me. Make sure you clear or dispose it appropriately.

Christmas Heritage Comedy Show
Posted on January 7, 2015 by Tiemo Talk
Star rating: ****
The Heritage Centre
Clifford Street,
John Simmit
Compere for the night John Simmit, facilitated proceedings with expert aplomb, warming up an audience who needed lots of heat on a bitterly cold night in the West Midlands. In an effort to get the locals on side he made reference to some of Wolverhampton's famous alumni such as Beverly Knight, Jakki Graham, Tessa Sanderson and Denice Lewis. When he appeared to struggle to come up with more names, the audience helpfully shouted out the names of Liam Payne from One Direction and Slade. John seemed particularly pleased that the town had a "current" major star to boast of in Liam.
John got everybody singing along to a few Christmas tunes which was a fun, topical thing to do for a Christmas show. The Heritage Centre was especially apt as the evening turned out to be a celebration of West Indian cultural heritage – specifically with respect to the Lovers Rock musical genre that originated and developed in Britain and was exported world wide, including to Japan of all places! Many of the comedians and singers alike gave a nod to this music directly in their performances – musically, jokes wise or by slow dancing – even if only with a microphone for a dance partner!
Thanyia Moore
Thanyia Moore, introduced by John Simmit as the award winning Thanyia Moore (Best Female Newcomer – Black Comedy Awards 2013) demonstrated why she won that title with a funny, at times acerbic and crude performance. Covering the joys and pain of singledom, relationships and inter-racial dating I found her amusing. She seemed to go down quite well with the attendees, though she probably did lose some of them with her below the belt (literally) material. There are certain expectations audiences have of comediennes and overt crudeness, which may work well at an all female hen night type show, does not work so well at a mixed gender mainstream show.
I don't think there are too many comediennes who can pull that off as it takes a certain amount of chutzpah, stage presence and a larger than life personality, something that the likes of Ruby Wax and the late, great Joan Rivers could achieve with aplomb, without losing any of their femininity.
Being the first comedian on for a relatively cold audience was tough and Thanyia needed to work hard to win over the audience. There was too liberal a use of the F word, a word none of the other performers used quite so liberally. Thanyia's a good comedian with plenty of good fine jokes and ad libs well, but needs to work on her stage craft and likeability factor if she wants to win over new audiences unfamiliar with her style and personality.
Roger Dee
Roger Dee delivered a fine set that was very well received. I like the material re his unusual mixed heritage combination (Scottish-Ghanian), men brazenly chatting up his wife right in front of him and dangerous Jamaican drivers. There was some good topical jokes about terrorism and dancing mixed in for good measure too.
I must also commend him on his big weight loss. The last time I saw him perform was in August 2013 at the Comedy Fight Night show and he's clearly lost a few stones since then. He looked a new man and that was great to see.
Glenda Jaxson
Glenda went down a storm with the Wulfrunian crowd. She kicked off by dancing and joking to a medley of lovers rock songs and tales of dark dancehalls back in the day. The trip down memory lane, musically and club wise, worked well for the mature audience at this show.
She then moved on to more familiar stories of being the long-time, long-suffering wife; the sex life of an older woman, her children and youths in general – their clothes and youth speak.
She delivered an extended 40 minute set which was superb and frankly she could have closed the show with no complaints. She finished at the quite late hour of 23.25p.m.
However, there was more, in the shape of the other slim performer of the night, none other than Slim, 4 time winner of 'Best Male Comedian' at the Black Comedy Awards and the reigning champion following the last awards in December 2013.
Slim – Winner Best Male Comedian 2013
Slim took things up a notch with topical japes about Christmas, presents, the cost of having children and taking them on expensive foreign holidays, putting on private parties for his daughters and the foolish and costly promises he made to them if they do well in their exams!
He touched on the need to discipline his children where necessary. Not something he has to do a lot, but if need be he will as he strongly believes in standards and strong disciplinarian standards. This he demonstrated to great comedic effect, whilst still making his serious point.
Slim celebrates 20 years in the comedy business this year and by way of showcasing that experience and durability he delivered an extended 50 minute set and showed Wolverhampton exactly why he is seen as the people's champion and has been a consistently funny, entertaining and award winning comedian. The material was all there, the jokes, audience interaction and high energy performance that took no prisoners.
Briana Campbell
Briana Campbell, 14, from Wolverhampton sang a couple of beautiful songs. She looked a few years older than her 14 years and sang as if she was too. I was really impressed by her performance and look forward to seeing her sing again.
Sister Aisha
Lovers rock singer Sister Aisha, also from Wolverhampton, sang some lovers rock numbers that were well received by her hometown audience. She featured with her fellow performers, comedians, Glenda Jaxson and John Simmit in the 'The Story of Lovers Rock' released in 2011.

This was a superb show, but a little over long thanks to extended sets from Glenda Jaxson and Slim resulting in a 12.30a.m. finish.

Slim celebrates 20 years in the comedy business this year and will be performing at Hackney Empire on Saturday 7th February 2015.

Reader Ryan installed an Intermatic Wall Switch Timer to control the lights on his porch, but was forced to reset the unit when the lights began to flash inexplicably. Ryan called Intermatic to make sure the problem wasn't indicative of a larger issue that could, say, burn down his house. He was blindsided by Intermatic's response.

Q: Utility of commas in given sentence Most of my friends who work in content writing, as a part-time job, earn a lot.
Most of my friends who work in content writing as a part-time job earn a lot.
Are the commas in the given sentence necessary?

A: It depends whether you think that "as a part time job" is necessary to specify the kind of work that they do (which makes it a defining relative clause), or whether you think that it simply supplies additional information about the way that they work (a non-defining relative clause). If the latter, commas are required.

What Burlington gets from $70 million high school bond

What Burlington gets from $70 million high school bond District administrators aim to start the design process right away Traffic and engineering studies will be vetted over the next 18 months.

The $70 million bond approved by voters on Tuesday is set to finance a project to bring Burlington High School into the 21st century.
The measure was approved by 73.9 percent of voters.
"What else is there to say but 'Thank You,'" Superintendent Yaw Obeng wrote in a statement from the school district. ""Thank you on behalf of our students who need and deserve accessible and inclusive 21st Century Learning environments."
School Board members pitched the idea of the project as a community enhancement which would draw investment and families to Burlington.
School Board Chairwoman Clare Wool called the vote "crucial and long overdue step on the road to renewing our tired and deficient high school building."
The timetable
The design process for the project is set to begin immediately, according to the district.
The project will take down some of the old buildings and build around some of the existing infrastructure, which saves the district the cost of tearing down and building a totally new school.
Preliminary plans vetted by the district over the last year include displacing groups of students as sections are completed, as opposed to having all students without classrooms in a complete tear-down.
Over the next 18 months traffic and engineering studies will be brought to the community and the city. Community and staff members will be invited to participate in vetting ideas for the design and traffic studies over the next year, according to the district.

The target for breaking ground is spring 2020.
What's wrong with the high school
The project was chosen to tackle the layout of the buildings that students, especially those with physical challenges, found daunting. The school buildings date back to the early 1960s, before enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Sarah Launderville of the Vermont Center for Independent Living said at a news conference earlier this month that only one of the ramps in the building complies with building ADA codes, according to the BHS Register, Burlington High School's student paper.
The Register reported students, including those using wheelchairs and crutches, had difficulty getting around the building and making it to class on time. The students also testified at public meetings that leaks forced them to take detours.
Deferred maintenance makes up $30 million of the total bill toward the portions of the buildings that will become part of the new retrofitted school.
Impact on property taxes
The chart below shows the estimated impact of the bond on property taxes. An owner of a home assessed at $250,000 will pay an additional $17 the first year, 2021, and about $302 more per year from 2023 to 2050.

It's only been two months since David Letterman said goodbye to late night television, but he's already back at some of his old tricks, briefly coming out of retirement this weekend to roast Donald Trump.
On Friday night, a bearded Letterman made an appearance at the San Antonio stop of Steve Martin and Martin Short's "A Very Stupid Conversation" tour, dusting off his "Top 10" gimmick to send-up the billionaire GOP presidential candidate with "Top Ten Interesting Facts About Donald Trump."
Speaking to the audience, Letterman bemoaned missing out on a Trump presidential run: "I was content. And then a couple of days ago, Donald Trump said he was running for president. I have made the biggest mistake of my life."
"He wants to build a wall? How about building a wall around the thing on his head?"
"Donald Trump weighs 240 pounds, 250 with cologne."
Later, Steve Martin posted photos of the trio to his Twitter account.
Letterman and Trump were frequent sparring partners over the course of Letterman's show.


Inspired by the success of the Soweto project in 2017, the Ronnie Scott's Charitable Foundation is on a mission again to bring live equipment and trainings to young people in Africa. From the 24th of April to the 1st of May 2019, The Ronnie Scott's Charitable Foundation will deliver a series of live sound trainings in a creative centre in Kitgum, Northern Uganda. The project, identified by Manchester-based charity InPlaceOfWar, will also receive a Yamaha PM5D mixing desk, instruments and equipment from the Foundation's previous 'Instrument Amnesty' in 2017. The newly constructed space, led by Benny Muding aka MC Benny, will be a music hub for the youth community and the desk will help them bring a new life to the community by curating regular music events, helping them bring the theatre shows to a professional level. MC Benny is a farmer and beekeeper in northern Uganda. From the profit he makes from his agricultural business, he and his hip hop crew deliver hip hop workshops in prisons as part of the prisoners' rehabilitation. He is completely un-funded and works with 6,000 young people each year. This project is in association with from both DiGiCo and Autograph who provided the desk and is fully funded by Michael Watt, Ronnie Scott's Club owner and Foundation's Trustee.
The Foundation will also visit a new 'Instrument Amnesty' beneficiary in Kampala, UK-based organisation BrassForAfrica, who support over 1000 children and young people in Uganda and Liberia every week through brass music education and life-skills training.
In Place of War is a global organisation that uses creativity in places of conflict as a tool for positive change. We enable grassroots change-makers in music, theatre and across the arts to transform a culture of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom. Over fifteen years of research by leading academics and building grassroots international networks spanning 24 countries, In Place of War works across three pillars: the creation of creative hubs; creative and social entrepreneurial training and development and artistic collaboration.
Since its release in 2004 the PM5D has become a standard for digital live mixing, and the first choice of legions of discerning engineers and sound companies throughout the world. Why? Simply because it offers extraordinary sound and versatility in a relatively small, lightweight system that is intuitive to use and delivers unmatched sound, control, and reliably without the need for additional outboard processing gear.
We identified, with the help of In Place Of War, a home-grown music centre in Soweto TrackSide Creative that was desperately in need of a professional mixing desk to develop their thriving music community. The Ronnie Scott's Charitable Foundation stepped in and sent them Ronnie Scott's Yamaha M7CL/48 mixing desk.
We sent out Ronnie Scott's Technical Manager, Miles Ashton, along with Fatine Boumaaz, head of the Charitable Foundation, to run a serie of live sound workshops with some of the young people from the local community. These training will help make regular live music events possible and empower the local community through the magic of music making.

Couple celebrates 60th wedding anniversary
PUBLISHED: August 30, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 30, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
Martin and Murlene Engebretsen are not the average married couple. They began their 60 years together in Sterling City. He worked in the old sawmill as a sawyer just like his father before him. With three children under the age of five, the couple entered into the ministry and pastured churches up and down the west coast.
It wasn"t until they were in their fifties that they took a position as directors of a home for men in the arm services located in Japan. "Our service men in foreign countries need a place they can feel at home," said Martin.
"We were glad to give ourselves to help others," said Murlene. "We now have friends from around the world."
After 17 years of service overseas, the couple made the long journey back home to Paradise, not far from their starting point of Sterling City. They attend Paradise Assembly of God church where, until recently, they served as directors of the senior citizens group called Young at Heart.
The 60th wedding anniversary party was held at Merlo Park in Paradise.
There were 150 in attendance at the informal picnic. People came as far away as Boston to express their congratulations. Anthony Brubaker, one of their grandsons, led the group in singing. Their three daughters, Linda Crandall of Murietta, Nancy Jackson of Marysville and Shirley Fay of Corning sang the original love song performed at the wedding.
Laughter echoed through the trees as Fay regaled the audience with fictional stories of the couple"s past.
Their son, Reverend Marty Engebretsen, officiated a version of the "Newly Wed" game.
The afternoon began with happy greetings and ended with pleasant new memories of family and friends.

Bahrain Confidential shares a conversation with The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain's Director of Sales, Yasser Mazouz.
What is your approach in leading The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain?
I believe leadership is personified through one's character and stature. My approach has always been characterized through a strong mindfulness of the goal at hand and the steps to complete the goal and ultimately win the business. There is an idiom I often refer to as the "iron fist in a velvet glove" – where as a leader, you must be firm with your decision but also genuine in your approach.
Who is The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain guest today?
Our guests today are the luxury global traveler. They are the ones who seek the luxury service, but enjoy the adventure of the destination and the experience it beholds. This is where our Ladies and Gentlemen have the opportunity to create dynamic experiences that mimic the tradition or culture found in the Kingdom of Bahrain. In other words, the destination experience is part of The Ritz-Carlton experience that one will have when staying at our resort. For instance, we have a new member loyalty package that does just that – it's a 'Luxury Pearl Diving Experience' where the guests experience the traditions of pearl diving, followed by a jewel merchant consultation and 4-course oyster and seafood inspired dinner at Plums.
Is it more challenging nowadays to show what makes a property unique?
While upkeep and enhancements should always be maintained with any property, I believe that it is also in the experiences created that keep up the excitement for our guests. As one of our brand pillars, we are always looking for ways to wow our guests and provide innovative experiences to enliven The Ritz-Carlton mystique. This is where we've seen them come back time and again.
What are your plans for the upcoming Eid?
As the Ramadan experiences end, we will bring back our traditional Eid al-Fitr Brunch at La Med where guests can experience a lavish feast featuring a classic spread of brunch specialties from braised meats, seafood dishes, Arabic salads, gourmet desserts and more. Pricing will start at BD 35, with special beverages, BD 30, with soft drinks.
What advice can you give to young people looking to build careers in this industry?
I would say to always go after your goals with integrity and mindful decision-making. Know what is that you want and want to achieve, all while being ready for the challenges and the opportunities in your foresight.

Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, The Greenbriar Inn is an elegant restaurant, tavern and private event space located in the north Boulder countryside. For over 50 years we've been delighting nightly diners, wedding parties, and "foodies" from across Colorado- and across the United States.
What began as a Continental-style restaurant with strong German and Austrian influences has evolved into an exceptional dining destination. Today, we offer classic American cuisine with innovative, seasonal touches designed to satisfy and delight sophisticated palates.
Winner of Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for the last 25 years, our wine cellar features over 900 carefully chosen varietals from the greatest wine regions of the world. In addition to tableside sommelier-recommendations, we host several wine dinners throughout the year for your enjoyment.
Owned and operated by its former chef, The Greenbriar Inn continues its 53-year tradition of exceptional cuisine, fine wine, and elegant service in a unique, romantic country inn atmosphere.
To us, classic American cuisine is fresh, simple food made from scratch with natural, pure ingredients. Our chef and his talented team create menus based on seasonally available and local ingredients while bringing modern, innovative touches to classic signature dishes.
We are proud to cook with the bounty of our three, on-site seasonal herb and produce gardens. On summer evenings, you may even see one of our chefs picking the ingredients for your meal! Our fresh garden items are also pickled, dried, and made into jams and compotes to use throughout the winter months. We also feature sustainably caught and farmed local proteins whenever possible and we even cure our own bacon and gravlax, smoke our own meats, and hand make our sausages.
And because a truly outstanding meal includes the best drinks and dessert, we infuse our spirits in house for specialty cocktails you won't find anywhere else. In addition, our pastry chef makes all of our decadent desserts, delicious cakes, and brunch pastries from scratch right on site so you can enjoy a sweet ending to any meal.
The Grounds
Surrounded by picturesque mountain foothills, our surrounding 20 acres feature two ponds, a waterfall, striking woodlands, plus thriving vegetable, fruit and flower gardens. While strolling our grounds before or after a fine meal, you may catch a glimpse of deer, elk or rabbits. Or spot hawks, eagles or great blue herons flying across a clear, Colorado-blue sky.
Home to Greenbriar Falls, the property's ponds are an impressive ecosystem, producing 360 gallons of rushing water a minute. The upper pond serves as a nursery and hatchery for the bigmouth bass and crayfish as well as brown and rainbow trout that flow via waterfall into the lower ponds. Cat tails and wild grasses around the water also provide a home for our resident frogs and turtles.
Greenbriar Inn Farm
When we planted our first garden 25 years ago, we had no idea we were setting a trend. Today, our farm includes over 7,000 square feet of pesticide-free, 100% natural gardens that give us everything from edible flowers to snap peas to fresh eggplant to five varieties of lettuce.
Our herbs and produce are grown using high-density farming techniques, organic fertilizers, and aged compost made from all non-protein organic matter from the restaurant and manure from local farmers. We round out our commitment to the environment with our comprehensive recycling and repurposing program.
In addition to produce and herbs, Greenbriar Inn Farm has now added chickens! Our lovely hens are raised just a few minutes down the road by The Greenbriar Inn owners, Phil and Emma. They are naturally raised with organic feed, produce scraps from our kitchen, treats and lots of love. Fresh eggs will be available to purchase whenever they are available at the restaurant and also used in some of our Sunday brunch dishes.
Visit our News and Events page to see what we are harvesting this week!
The Greenbriar Inn has been a Boulder County landmark for over 100 years. Originally constructed in 1873 as a home, general store, and post office, the building was located in the heart of the town of Altona, Colorado.
Altona was established in 1863 as a supply and transportation center at the mouth of Left Hand Canyon for the gold miners of Jamestown and Ward. By 1916, due to the decline of mining in the canyon, the post office was closed and the town of Altona went with it.
In the early 1920s, the general store added gas pumps and remained open until 1960 when a house fire forced the store to close. In 1967, the property was purchased by restaurateurs in the hopes of creating a new and inspired dining option in the area.
Today, The Greenbriar Inn is home to nightly dinners, outdoor weddings and special events and our holiday dinners and brunches are enjoyed by guests from all points in Colorado.

Art directors make sure that illustrators and production artists produce and complete their work on time and to the creative director or client's satisfaction. Art directors also play a major role in the development of a project by making decisions on the visual elements of the project, and by giving the final say on the selection of models, art, props, colors, and other elements. Art directors need advanced training in graphic design as they often do artwork and designing themselves. However, an art director's time may be consumed doing supervisory and administrative work .

Art production manager
Art production managers or traffic managers oversee the production aspect of art to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness. Art production managers supervise artists or advise the supervisors of artists. Creative directors and art directors often assume the role of art production managers, especially when production cost is not a critical enough concern to designate a manager for the specific role.

Hands-on graphic designer
The following are positions or responsibilities, not necessarily titles, held by art directors and graphic designers:

Brand identity developer
Brand identity design is concerned with the visual aspects of a company or organization's brand or identity. A brand identity design is the visual element that represents how a company wants to be seen; it is the company's visual identity, and is how a company illustrates its 'image.' A company's brand identity can be represented in terms of design through a unique logo, or signage, and is then often integrated throughout all the elements of a company's materials such as business cards, stationery, packaging, media advertising, promotions, and more. Brand identity may include logo design. Brand identity development is usually a collaborative effort between creative directors, art directors, copywriters, account managers and the client.

Broadcast designers
A broadcast designer is a person involved with creating graphic designs and electronic media incorporated in television productions that are used by character generator (CG) operators. A broadcast designer may have a degree in digital media (or a similar degree), or is self-taught in the software needed to create such content.

Logo designer
The job of a logo designer is to provide a new and innovative way to express the key points of a company through an image. Logo designers take the information given to them by the client and work, using their own creativity along with marketing strategy to find an appropriate image that their client can use to represent what they are trying to encourage, sell, or what they are. It is not likely that a company will specialize in logo design or have a position for a designated logo designer. Art directors and graphic designers usually perform logo designs.

Marketing designer
A marketing designer creates illustrations and digital images. He or she also develops presentations for companies and businesses to market and promote their goods and services to the public.

Illustrator
Illustrators conceptualize and create illustrations that represent an idea or a story through two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. Illustrators may do drawings for printed materials such as books, magazines, and other publications, or for commercial products such as textiles, packaging, wrapping paper, greeting cards, calendars, stationery, and more.

Illustrators use many different media, from pencil and paint to digital formatting, to prepare and create their illustrations. An illustrator consults with clients in order to determine what illustrations will best meet the story they are trying to tell, or what message they are trying to communicate.

Illustrating may be a secondary skill requirement of graphic design or a specialty skill of a freelance artist, usually known for a unique style of illustrating. Illustration may be published separately as in fine art. However, illustrations are usually inserted into page layouts for communication design in the context of graphic design professions.

Visual image developer
Similar to illustration are other methods of developing images such as photography, 3D modeling, and image editing. Creative professionals in these positions are not usually called illustrators, but are utilized the same way. Photographers are likely to freelance. 3D modelers are likely to be employed for long-term projects. Image editing is usually a secondary skill to either of the above, but may also be a specialty to aid web development, software development, or multimedia development in a job title known as multimedia specialist. Although these skills may require technical knowledge, graphic design skills may be applied as well.

Multimedia developer
Multimedia developers may come from a graphic design or illustration background and apply those talents to motion, sound, or interactivity. Motion designers are graphic designers for motion. Animators are illustrators for motion. Videographers are photographers for motion. Multimedia developers may also image edit, sound edit, program, or compose multimedia just as multimedia specialists.

Content developer
Content developers include illustrators, visual image developers, and multimedia developers in software and web development. Content development includes non-graphical content as well.

Visual journalist
Visual journalists, also known as Infographic Artists create information graphics or Infographics; visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used anywhere where information needs to be explained quickly or simply, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. They are also used extensively as tools by computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians to ease the process of developing and communicating conceptual information. They are applied in all aspects of scientific visualization.

Layout artist
A layout artist deals with the structure and layout of images and text in a pleasing format. This can include magazine work, brochures, flyers, books, CD booklets, posters, and similar formats. For magazines and similar productions, color, typeface, text formatting, graphic layout and more must be considered. Page layouts are usually done by art directors, graphic designers, artworkers, production artists or a combination of those positions.

Entry level layout work is often known as paste up art. Entry level layout graphic designers are often known as production artists. In an in-house art department, layout artists are sometimes known as DTP artists or DTP associates.

Interface designer
Interface designers are graphical user interface (GUI) layout artists. They are employed by multimedia, software, and web development companies. Because graphical control elements are interactive, interface design often overlaps interaction design. Because interfaces are not usually composed as single computer files, interface design may require technical understanding, including graphical integration with code. Because interfaces may require hundreds of assets, knowledge of how to automate graphic production may be required. An interface designer may hold the job title of web designer in a web development company.

Web designer
A web designer's work could be viewed by thousands of people every day. Web designers create the pages, layout, and graphics for web pages, and play a key role in the development of a website. Web designers have the task of creating the look and feel of a website by choosing the style, and by designing attractive graphics, images, and other visual elements, and adapting them for the website's pages. Web designers also design and develop the navigation tools of a site. Web designers may make decisions regarding what content is included on a web page, where things are placed, and how the aesthetic and continuity is maintained from one screen to the next. All of this involves skill and training in computer graphics, graphic design, and in the latest in computer and web technology.

Depending on the scope of the project, web design may involve collaboration between software engineers and graphic designers. The graphic design of a website may be as simple as a page layout sketch or handling just the graphics in an HTML editor, while the advance coding is done separately by programmers. In other cases, graphic designers may be challenged to become both graphic designer and programmer in the process of web design in positions often known as web masters.

Package designer
A package designer or packaging technician may utilize technical skills aside from graphic design. Knowledge of cuts, crease, folding, nature and behavior of the packaging material such as paper, corrugated sheet, synthetic or other type of materials may also be required. A customer may see the top/outside of a package at first, but may also be drawn to other package design features. A packaging design may require three-dimensional space layout skills in addition to visual communication to consider how well a design works at multiple angles. CAD software applications specifically for packaging design may be utilized

Q: IOS GUI Hierarchie of a ViewController I dont know howto structure my view controller to match my following requests:
I have one screen which has 2 subscreens.

*

*
*

*Screen shows an animation with pictures similar to a automated scrollview.

*

*Screen shows some standard graphics (boxes triangles circles and text) depending on the picture actually showed in screen 1 (runtime interaction between the screens)

*I like to change the sizes of the screens at runtime, when a specific event occurs.

*I would like to have it as simple as possible :-) (of course)

*
*

*Screen should be accessible from Screen 2 and other way regarding coding.

Howto structure this situation with todays Xcode and using swift ?
example Hierarchy:
ViewController
      Container with Viewcontroller, which holds my scrollview
      Container with Viewcontroller, which holds my custom view with graphics

or simplier:
ViewController which adds 2 subviews at runtime

A: You can just use let UIView a and call self.view.addSubview(a). Then you can pack whatever you want in your view a. If you want to switch to the other view you can simply call a.removeFromSuperview() and add the other View.
Changing sizes would be no problem here, as you can just update a.frame.
For Accessing the other View you can just add a Button to your view.

BELEK, Turkey, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Events such as the attacks in Paris made it crucial for the world's top economies to stand strong and enhance their solidarity when they meet at a summit this weekend in Turkey, China's Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyou said on Saturday.
Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies (G20), including the United States, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, Australia and Brazil are to meet on Sunday and Monday in the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, primarily to discuss global economic issues, but the Paris attacks would also figure. (Full Story)
"While we recognise the risks posed by terrorism and its great negative impact on economic development we must make our due response to that." Zhu told a news conference in Belek, southwest Turkey, speaking through an interpreter.
"We must work together, we must enhance our solidarity."

Poland cannot accept migrants under European Union (EU) quotas after Friday's attacks in Paris, Poland's European affairs minister designate Konrad Szymanski said on Saturday.
In a commentary published in the right-leaning news portal wPolityce.pl, Szymanski said his incoming government did not agree with Poland's commitment to accept its share of an EU-wide relocation of immigrants, and now, "in the face of the tragic acts in Paris, we do not see the political possibilities to implement (this)."
Szymanski will take up his position on Monday as part of a government formed by the last month's election winner, the conservative and eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party.

Deadly attacks in Paris forced a shift in the focus of Syrian peace talks on Saturday to the fight against Islamic State, with France saying foreign ministers meeting in Vienna should concentrate on the battlefield rather than political process.
A round of talks in the Austrian capital, expected to focus on narrowing differences on the specifics of a political process leading to elections in Syria, turned instead to security and how to better fight Islamic State, also known as ISIL or Daesh.
"One of the objectives of the Vienna meeting is to see concretely how we can strengthen the international coordination in the fight against Daesh," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters in Vienna before the main meeting started.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel asked Belgians on Saturday not to travel to Paris unless necessary, hours after attacks claimed by Islamic State killed 127 people in the city.
Belgium also imposed additional frontier controls on road, rail and air arrivals from France in response to Friday's attacks, government officials said.
Gunmen and bombers attacked restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium at locations across Paris. Islamic State has said it was behind the attack. (Full Story)
"I ask our citizens not to travel to Paris unless necessary. In our country, there are additional security measures in force," Michel said on Twitter.
Michel also convened a security cabinet meeting on Saturday to review Belgium's responses to the attacks in France.
An interior ministry spokeswoman said that public events, such as football matches, would in particular be subject to "increased vigilance".
A spokesman for the prime minister said Belgium was not closing its frontiers but would increase spot checks on travellers arriving from France.
Islamic State says France remains top target
Islamic State claimed responsibility on Saturday for attacks that killed 127 people in Paris, saying it sent militants strapped with suicide bombing belts and carrying machine guns to various locations in the heart of the capital.
The attacks, described by France's president as an act of war, were designed to show the country would remain in danger as long as it continued its current policies, Islamic State said in a statement.
"To teach France, and all nations following its path, that they will remain at the top of Islamic State's list of targets, and that the smell of death won't leave their noses as long as they partake in their crusader campaign," said the group.
French President Francois Hollande said the violence was organized from abroad by Islamic State with internal help.
"Faced with war, the country must take appropriate action," he said, without saying what that meant.
The Saudi Council of Senior Scholars says it condemns the Paris attacks and that terrorist acts are not sanctioned by Islam and are contrary to its values - according to state news agency.

Dutch Prime Minister says 'ISIS is the enemy, we are at war with ISIS. Not with Islam or a religion'.
Saudi Arabia's highest religious body condemned on Saturday a coordinated assault by gunmen and bombers that killed 127 people across Paris as contrary to Islamic values.
"Terrorists are not sanctioned by Islam and these acts are contrary to values of mercy it brought to the world," said a statement by the Council of Senior Scholars carried by the Saudi Press Agency.
The statement by the council, the only body in the country authorized to issue fatwas or Islamic legal opinions, said that eliminating terrorism worldwide would require a "concerted effort" from a "unified moral stance".

The French government plans to go ahead with a climate change summit it is due to host at the end of the month, a senior French diplomatic source said on Saturday, the day after a wave of deadly attacks in France's capital.
Asked whether the high-profile meeting could be put off, the venue changed or canceled, the source told Reuters "that is in no way under consideration", but added that security could be boosted.
Officials from almost 200 nations are due to meet from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 to nail down a final agreement to limit global warming.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday condemned Friday's deadly attacks by Islamic State in Paris but said the West's "flawed" policies in Syria, especially that of France, was partly to blame.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a coordinated assault by gunmen and bombers that killed 127 people at locations across Paris. President Francois Hollande said amounted to an act of war against France. (Full Story)
France launched air strikes against Islamic State in Syria in September, saying it wanted to prevent the group from carrying out attacks against French interests and protect Syrian civilians.
"The flawed policies pursued by Western countries and especially France as regards what is happening in our region ... contributed to the spread of terrorism," Assad was quoted as saying on Syrian state media.
"What France suffered from savage terror is what the Syrian people have been enduring," he said. Assad met with a French delegation on Saturday, state media reported, though this appeared to be unconnected to Friday's attacks. The report gave no further details.
Assad has long warned that Western countries would end up paying dearly for aiding rebels who have been fighting him in a campaign to topple his government since 2011.
But Assad's opponents blame him for fuelling Islamist militancy with his war against the rebels in which hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed.
