Rocket Lab's Electron launch vehicle successfully achieved orbit on its second test flight performed on Sunday from the company's launch base in New Zealand. Dubbed 'Still Testing,' the flight built on data gathered on the inaugural flight of the innovative launch vehicle last May and managed to achieve the final push to orbit – making Electron the first in a group of small satellite launch vehicles to achieve orbit and take a major step closer to regular operation.
The 17-meter tall, all-composite rocket powered by electric pump-fed engines took flight at 1:43 UTC, 2:43 p.m. local time at the Mahia launch site on New Zealand's North Island. Arcing into mostly clear skies over the picturesque launch site, Electron fired its nine Rutherford main engines for two and a half minutes before the single-engine second stage took over for over five and a half minutes of powered flight – dropping the payload fairing and a pair of depleted battery packs on its way into a high-inclination orbit.
Reaching the tenuous upper layers of the atmosphere, Electron surpassed the earlier benchmark set by May's "It's a Test" and successfully achieved orbit, Rocket Lab engineers said during the live launch broadcast.
Three pathfinder satellites were aboard "Still Testing" – two Lemur ship-tracking & atmospheric profiling satellites operated by Spire Global and a lone Dove from San Francisco-based Planet as both companies took the opportunity of launching inexpensive CubeSats on Electron to validate pre-launch integration and launch procedures for future launches since both are expected to become customers for regular Electron missions.
The all-black Electron is the first of several small orbital-class launch vehicles in development to take their share of what is an increasingly growing market – sending MicroSatellites or clusters of CubeSats into orbit. Advances in technology made miniaturization of various spaceborne sensors possible, permitting systems such as high-resolution imaging instruments, meteorological sensors and communication packages to fit into small satellite platforms – turning CubeSats, originally developed for educational missions, into potential revenue generators on the commercial market for satellite imagery, communications, maritime & aeronautical tracking, etc.
Operators like Rocket Lab, Vector Space and Virgin Orbit see a number of major advantages in offering small satellite launch solutions in the form of dedicated missions for small satellite operators that currently have to ride as secondary payloads which does not allow them much say in the scheduling of missions as well as target orbit parameters. Rockets specifically sized for this market can provide cost-effective launch opportunities not much more expensive than secondary payload slots while giving operators full autonomy in setting their schedule and choosing their orbit.
Rocket Lab, headquartered in the U.S. with production and launch facilities in New Zealand, managed to bring Electron from the drawing board to the launch pad in under five years and with less than $100 million in funding acquired through venture capital funds and strategic investments from industry. The company, led by CEO Peter Beck, chose a testing-oriented approach and outlined a test flight program of at least three missions.
"It's a Test" left the launch pad on May 25, 2017 with a dummy payload and a plethora of sensors to collect an extensive data set on how the carbon-composite rocket and all its components – including the battery-powered engine pumps – fared in the actual mission environment. Although the mission fell short of orbit when targeting an orbital injection, the flight was classed as a success by the company since all critical events like first stage flight, stage separation, upper stage ignition and payload fairing separation had been demonstrated and a wealth of data was collected.
After the May test flight, Rocket Lab took a fine-tooth comb to over 25,000 channels of data to fully reconstruct the mission, uncover potential weak points and fully understand what kept Electron from reaching orbit. It transpired that Electron's first test flight had to be terminated due to no fault of the rocket but a very basic misconfiguration of an error correction setting within a contractor-operated piece of communications equipment at the Mahia launch site – leading to a premature loss of telemetry as the vehicle traveled downrange and, per the flight rules, requiring the launch to be terminated.
The company initially expected the second test flight to occur within two months of "It's a Test," but decided to take the time to fully work through a detailed analysis of the first flight before taking the second vehicle to the launch pad. Analysis was complete by early August and the second Electron rocket traveled from the company's manufacturing base near Auckland to the Mahia launch site in the first half November.
Assembly of the two stage rocket and integration of the CubeSat Deployers set the stack for final acceptance tests before Electron moved to the launch pad for a Wet Dress Rehearsal on November 30. However, the rocket was unable to get off the ground during a multi-day campaign in December due to a string of weather-related delays and teething issues with the relatively new vehicle, including an aborted ignition.
As the available launch window reached its end, Rocket Lab decided to stand down and re-group for another attempt in January. Electron returned to the pad on Friday, local time, and an attempt on Saturday had to be ended after a pair of stray vessels ventured into the marine safety area and winds in the upper atmosphere picked up after the boats cleared. Winds were again on the high end on Sunday, but Rocket Lab decided to press ahead and make a last-minute call on whether conditions were within limits.
Gearing up for launch, Rocket Lab engineers reported to console over five hours before the opening of the day's four-hour launch window to oversee a detailed checkout campaign before Electron headed into tanking – receiving 11.3 metric tons of Liquid Oxygen and Rocket Propellant 1. With access roads closed and an eight-Kilometer security zone in place, Electron was cleared for liftoff from the world's first privately-operated launch range, located on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island from where all relevant orbital destinations can be reached.
Electron, marketed as a 21st Century Rocket employing innovative technology, is the first orbital launch vehicle to rely on electric-pump-fed engines, 3D printing for all major engine components and a carbon-composite structure – all geared towards creating a low-cost yet robust launch vehicle. Standing 17 meters tall and measuring 1.2 meters in diameter, Electron has a launch mass of 12,550 Kilograms.
One of the flagship developments making Electron possible is the Rutherford engine, the first electric-pump-driven rocket engine to reach the launch pad – eliminating the complex turbomachinery of traditional engines using combustion gases to drive their pumps and putting brushless electric motors in their place, thus simplifying the engine's design and keeping costs down while also achieving a high-degree of controllability through precise motor control.
Each of the two motors driving the fuel and oxidizer pumps is not much larger than a soda can and generates 50 horsepower when spinning at 40,000 revolutions per minute. The drawback of electric pump-fed engines is found around the aft skirt of Electron where 13 fairly heavy battery packs reside to deliver over 1 Megawatt of power during the two-and-a-half-minute first stage burn.
Rutherford, like SpaceX's Merlin, comes in two versions, one for operation as first stage engine and a vacuum-optimized version with extended nozzle. The standard Rutherford has a dry mass of 20 Kilograms and delivers 18 Kilonewtons of sea level thrust, rising to 21 kN in vacuum with a corresponding specific impulse of 303 seconds – matching the performance of other well-known LOX/RP-1 engines using the conventional turbopump design.
Nine Rutherford engines lifted Electron off the pad at 1:43:00 UTC on Sunday with a total thrust of 16,500-Kilogram-force, sending the vehicle into a brief vertical ascent before pitching over and heading south-east to reach a high-inclination orbit – the favored orbital destination for remote sensing satellites.
Racing downrange, Electron quickly reached the speed of sound and passed Maximum Dynamic Pressure where its composite structure had to withstand peak aerodynamic forces on the vehicle's way out of the dense atmosphere. Thrust on the booster increased to 19,600kgf as Electron headed into the tenuous upper atmosphere with calls from the launch team indicating nominal operation of the first stage and onboard video showing the vehicle heading down the straight & narrow with slight, but frequent corrections by the guidance system clearly visible.
Shutdown on the first stage occurred just over two minutes and 30 seconds into the mission when it had exhausted its 9,150kg propellant supply. Four seconds after MECO, pneumatic separation systems pushed the 12-meter long booster away from the second stage and its extended Rutherford nozzle.
The second stage fired up at T+2 minutes and 38 seconds on a planned burn of five minutes and 38 seconds to push the stack into orbit with a thrust of 2,240 Kilogram-force. 25 seconds into the operation of the second stage, Electron successfully separated its two clamshell-type fairing halves and two of three battery packs also dropped away as they were depleted during engine operation to shed unnecessary weight on the way up the hill.
Reaching the four minute mark, Electron had passed 225 Kilometers in altitude and managed to get past the point of failure on the previous launch, continuing down its planned trajectory, aiming for an orbit of 300 by 500 Kilometers, inclined 83 degrees. In the nature of Low Earth Orbit missions, Electron was expected to achieve a stable orbit just six seconds before shutdown on the second stage – creating only a small line between failure to achieve orbit and full launch success.
Shutdown was called out eight minutes and 15 seconds into the flight and launch control erupted in cheers when guidance engineers reported a good orbit was achieved and the three pathfinder passengers were sent on their way 17 seconds after engine cutoff.
Dove Pioneer, released by a Rocket Lab Maxwell deployer, will join Planet's Flock of orbiting Doves – currently the largest Earth-imaging constellation in operation, employing over 130 active satellites in a variety of orbits to image the entire globe at least once per day. The two Lemur-2 satellites are joining Spire Global's CubeSat fleet tasked with the collection of global ship-tracking data offered on the commercial market as well as atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles relevant for weather forecasting.
Since the Dove and Lemur-2 satellites are built in large quantities by their operators, placing a small number of them onto an experimental launch posed only little financial risk for the companies but offered a great deal of operational knowledge for future Rocket Lab missions carrying a larger number of spacecraft once Electron is cleared for service.
Sunday's launch, although appearing to be a full success, will be treated like the first test launch in that Rocket Lab will pick apart all pieces of data to study exactly how Electron behaved on its way to orbit and whether there are any areas of improvement ahead of operational missions. At least one more test flight was planned before Electron enters operational service with a busy manifest lined up for 2018 that includes a NASA cluster mission, flights for Planet and the Moon Express MX-1E lunar landers competing in the Google Lunar XPRIZE.
Big plans exist for Rocket Lab's future, including establishing a production and launch capability from the United States at the Kennedy Space Center and Pacific Spaceport Complex – Alaska. The company is also scaling up production capability to eventually step up Electron's launch pace, eyeing a steady cadence of one or two missions per week.

British banknotes: Who are the new faces?
There are some new faces set to appear on British banknotes – find out who they are here.
You see their faces every day when you draw cash out or root around in your purse or wallet – but how many people on the back of British banknotes can you name?
If you can't name any, don't worry – you're not the only one. But there's a few new faces set to grace the back of your banknotes soon enough, so we thought we'd take a closer look at these historical figures and what they mean to British history.
JMW Turner, a celebrated British painter, will be the face of the new £20 note. Turner was one of 590 artists selected in a vote put to the public by the Bank of England. He beat Barbara Hepworth, Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock to become the first artist to appear on a British banknote.
Turner was dubbed "the painter of light" because of his talents for showing colour and atmosphere in his landscapes and seascape paintings. Throughout his lifetime, he produced more than 550 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolours and 30,000 sketches and drawings.
You'll first see the £20 notes enter circulation in 2020. They will feature Turner's self-portrait and his painting The Fighting Temeraire – voted Britain's "greatest painting" in a public 2005 BBC poll. The quote on the banknote will be "Light is therefore colour" – this is from an 1818 lecture by Turner.
The new £20 note will be the third Bank of England banknote to be made of polymer – a plastic type material – after the new £10 featuring writer Jane Austen and £5 notes. The new plastic notes are believed to be sturdier.
Scientist Mary Somerville is the first woman to appear on a Royal Bank of Scotland banknote – other than a royal – when the new £10 Scottish polymer notes come out in 2017.
Born in 1780, Somerville studied geography and astronomy, despite science being discouraged for women at the time. She was then jointly nominated as the first female member of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1835. She is credited with a role in the discovery of Neptune, after writing about a hypothetical planet.
The £10 banknote will feature Burntisland Beach, where Mary Somerville lived as a child along with a quote from her work The Connection of the Physical Sciences.
Scottish poet and novelist Nan Shepherd will be on the new Royal Bank of Scotland £5 polymer notes when they start circulating later this year.
Nan Shepherd was born on the outskirts of Aberdeen in 1893. She was an English lecturer at Aberdeen College for four decades and also wrote novels, poetry and non-fiction. The Scottish landscape and weather was often a major influence on her work.
Her non-fiction book the Living Mountain focused on hillwalking and her experiences of walking in the Cairngorms, which will feature in the background of the £5 note.

FORMA E VITA DI UNA CITTÀ MEDIEVALE. LEOPOLI-CENCELLE.
The exhibition reconstructs the different historical stages of the city of Cencelle in one of the places that best represents Rome and its urban development: Trajan's Market, the Roman complex that preserves significant evidence of its occupation and transformation over the centuries including the Middle Ages, more specifically with the Tower of the Militia. The exhibit presents an opportunity to witness the birth and development of an urban site through an archaeological viewpoint split into three phases: from a centre of classic tradition – a bishopric at the time of its foundation – to stable municipality until its transformation into a farm linked to alum production during the mid-15th century.

Attending the Law School's conference on bullying yesterday took me back vividly to the one and only time I was bullied. It only lasted about 24 hours, but it made such an impact on me that I'll remember it always.
When I was in sixth grade, our class bully threatened to kill me because I beat him out for the basketball team. I was traumatized, because he had flunked two times and was physically superior to everyone in my class.
He was a mean dude in every respect, and reveled in making others cower. I took his threat seriously. In fact, I faked being sick in class so I could be sent to the nurse's office. But I never went there. I ran straight home instead–fearful, full of terror, and paralyzed. It took every ounce of courage I could muster to go to school the next day.
Fortunately for me, that very day another player got injured and the coach put the bully on the team. I was off the hook. But the mental and emotional damage to me was so profound that I've carried it into adulthood. I shouldn't admit this fact, but I've often thought about how I would exact revenge on this bully. It turns out that he got another kind of justice.
Ironically, I often think back on sixth grade and how fortunate I was to avoid a long period of abuse as well as a severe beating. I honestly don't know what would have happened if it had persisted.
Exactly how fortunate was I? Well, in tenth grade, the bully really did kill a classmate.

Now, the Liberal Democrats are calling for the County Council to get its recycling shoes on and start hitting waste targets. At next week's Council meeting they'll be calling on Shire Hall bosses to find ways to boost the amount we all leave out on the kerbside which can be used again.
"In the council chamber next week I'll be calling for a real uplift in recycling rates across the county. I agree with Gloucestershire's 'Waste Core Strategy' in that we need to make sure that reusing and composting should be made as simple as possible and that people and businesses can easily recycle on the kerbside or at waste sites.
"Talking rubbish for some might not be very interesting, but how we dispose of it is an important issue, especially now that this Conservative administration has committed us to a massive incinerator at Javelin Park – we can't let that be an excuse to fail to recycle."
"Much more needs to be done to improve recycling rates. The County Council has a key role in making this happen.
"It is about making recycling much, much easier and about educating people about why this is so important. Using the food caddies provided by the districts, for example, diverts food waste from landfill. Not only is this good for the environment but it reduces an easy food source for urban gulls.

Yet another hugely disappointing performance and result for Arsenal and the sad reality is that it is becoming a very regular occurrence.
The fluency of our attack is gone, the defense is looking very suspect again and the team in general has become very predictable. But most worryingly we are getting into a terrible habit of throwing winning positions away due to ill discipline and naivety.
Gabriel has not fulfill the promise he has shown earlier in his Arsenal career and looks a bit out of his depth. Bellerin's form has dipped alarmingly and needs to improve on his final ball and crossing.
5 out of 8 midfielders in our squad are either injured or has just come back from injury and out of them Arteta, Rosicky and Flamini are likely to leave at the end of the season.
Walcott getting picked ahead of Campbell is a great mystery to me. His time in Arsenal colors looks to be coming to an end.
We do not have an out and out, 25 goals a season striker in the squad.
We need major surgery in the summer.
We may need a new surgeon too.

Franchise Owners Value Local-Market Support
Planet Smoothie franchisees have backing of a strong marketing plan
to help their location stand out in the booming smoothie market
Planet Smoothie® franchisees benefit from a well-executed local marketing strategy to help them outshine the competition. Our brand's high-quality smoothies give busy consumers what they want — less sugar and fewer calories — and our brand's strong marketing game, backed by the global leader Kahala Brands™, gives them information on new products, specials and more.
"Because Planet Smoothie is a part of the Kahala Brands family, there is a team of marketing professionals helping to ensure that every Planet Smoothie franchise is supported through national marketing campaigns," says John Wuycheck, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. "In all markets, our stores benefit from national marketing initiatives as well as local marketing support. We give each franchise owner what he or she needs in terms of local support to help build local brand awareness and customer loyalty."
Multiple channels reach customers on all fronts
Planet Smoothie is a community-based business where franchise owners benefit from marketing initiatives that start before they've even sold their first smoothies. They receive guidance from the Planet Smoothie management team on how to attract and retain customers, whether it's traditional advertising or a digital marketing campaign.
We will teach you how to analyze your competitors, identify potential community partnerships, and scout pools of likely customers. We also provide strategies that are tailored to each audience, and we assist in planning and executing your grand opening marketing initiative.
Whether your store is the first in an area or is in a region where Planet Smoothie is already well-known, this is an essential step in getting your store known and visited by the community.
"Our franchisees receive some of the best marketing training around," Wuycheck says. "Not only do our franchise owners receive help before their store opening, they also get ongoing support to help ensure that their Planet Smoothie is widely known throughout the community they serve."
Area developers provide valuable regional support
Planet Smoothie franchisees in dense metropolitan areas like Atlanta and Orlando also benefit from a vast bank of knowledge from area developers, who are franchisees themselves. Jason Mann, area developer in Orlando, is a multi-unit franchisee who provides guidance to more than 30 Planet Smoothie operators in Central Florida. A Planet Smoothie franchisee since 1999, he has valuable expertise on competing in a busy and growing market.
Community partnerships also play a major role in helping to increase brand awareness where it matters most. "Planet Smoothie franchise locations offer a product that people want, but strong marketing is essential to continue boosting consumer demand and store visits," Wuycheck says. "By leveraging differing kinds of outreach, the corporate team is always working to help ensure that the Planet Smoothie name is highly visible in every market."
Planet Smoothie is a smoothie franchise that sets itself apart by offering great-tasting smoothies that use healthier, natural ingredients. In a side-by-side comparison, our brand's smoothies generally have less sugar and fewer calories — a big competitive advantage as Americans actively seek out healthier options. Planet Smoothie is led by a veteran franchise team and dedicated brand support team as part of the Kahala Brands family.

#TravelTuesday – Restaurant Review – Samrat – Mumbai, India – To experience a full traditional thali experience, Samrat is a must in Mumbai. You will get to experience the full nuances of Gujarati cuisine!
My first trip to India was a whirlwind 3 days in Mumbai. Via my food blogging tribes, I have a bunch of Indian based food blogger friends so when the cheapest return flight from my trip to Thailand had a return trip via Mumbai, I jumped on it as it would FINALLY give me the opportunity to meet a few of my food blogger friends. Pradnya was so gracious and invited me to stay with her.
Flying Air India (something I wont be repeating), the flight was characteristically delayed by 3 hours, but with no complaint there was Pradnya waiting for me at the airport at 1am with her husband and son in tow. I was a little out of it the first day as I had had an accident in Bangkok the day before and had stitches in my foot and I was walking with a limp. We drove to a wholesale spice market and that was enough activity for me on day 1.
By Day 2, the pain in my foot had stopped and I was ready to dig into the assault of the senses that is Mumbai. Coming from "the city that never sleeps" I am used to big city life, but Mumbai is on a whole other level. The amount of people and non stop traffic and activity on the streets is just amazing. With little regard to traffic lights, I still wasn't able to exactly figure out how to cross streets on foot. My one complaint about my blogger friends in Mumbai was that they were too nice and wouldn't let me pay for ANYTHING. Because of that, I researched the price after I came back so I can let you know. I was stunned when I saw the price – All of this food and an awe inspiring experience was less than $10 USD for our amazing lunch! In NYC, something like this would have run about $30+. This was an experience that truly will let you dig deep into Indian regional Vegetarian cuisine.
India has a very large Vegetarian population as many strict Hindu's don't eat meat. With so many Vegetarians, they have developed complex cuisines that are so flavorful, even carnivores like me don't miss the meat. Pradnya and another of our Mumbai based blogger buddies took me to Samrat. As I stepped off the noisy, busy Mumbai street, the peace, quiet and serenity of Samrat let me know that I was in for a treat.
We were seated and immediately greeted with cool water and Masala Chaas, a spiced buttermilk drink. As this cooled us off from the hot and humid and Mumbai heat, the staff started loading up the table in the blink of an eye. Although Samrat has menu items that you can order by entree, the girls had decided we would have the traditional thali meals featuring Gujarati cuisine. Thali's are Indian meals where many small portions of food are served instead of 1 main course. I have presented many thali's here on this blog from different states of India.
A few crunchy snacks with the requisite chutneys and pickles and then they started filling up our thali platters with the empty bowls.
I knew I was in for a treat as one by one the bowls started filling up. Large spoonfuls of Rice & Kichdi (rice and lentil porridge) in the center of the plate and I thought it was time to dig in, but then there was still the breads. Paratha and Thepla (fenugreek flatbread) and you think that's it but then the Poori (baloon fried bread) came.
We had a choice of 1 of 2 desserts and I had the smooth and silky Mango Shrikhand.
To experience traditional Gujarati cuisine in an upscale setting with excellent customer service and attention to detail, I highly recommend Samrat.
This restaurant gets the full 5 stars in my opinion!

Q: DexExpress XPF Map in Windows Service I'm using the DexExpress.Xpf.Map.v15.1 MapControl and trying to create code that will be able to run in a Windows Service (i.e. no front end) to generate maps as images.
I have the following code which creates a map, adds GeoPoints to a PolyLine and then adds that PolyLine to a map. This works fine in my WPF test harness application:
 public MapWindow1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            var mapControl = new MapControl
            {
                Name = "TheMap",
                ZoomLevel = 4,
                CenterPoint = new GeoPoint(47, 5)
            };

            var imageLayer = new ImageTilesLayer
            {
                DataProvider = new OpenStreetMapDataProvider()
            };
            mapControl.Layers.Add(imageLayer);

            var vectorLayer = new VectorLayer();
            mapControl.Layers.Add(vectorLayer);
            var mapItemStorage = new MapItemStorage();
            vectorLayer.Data = mapItemStorage;

            var polyLineCollection = DbfGenerator.GeneratePolyLineCollection();

            polyLineCollection.ForEach(line =>
            {
                var mapItem = new MapPolyline();
                mapItemStorage.Items.Add(mapItem);
                mapItem.Points.AddRange(line);
            });
            mapControl.MouseDoubleClick += mapControl_MouseDoubleClick;

            MainGrid.Children.Add(mapControl);

        }

This runs and adds the map control to the WPF page without a problem. I've then added double click handler to export the map as an image:
void mapControl_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            var m = GenerateMapPng((MapControl) sender);
            m.Save(@"C:\0Temp\test.bmp");
        }

 public Bitmap GenerateMapPng(MapControl map)
    {
        Bitmap bmp;
        // export image from map
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            var exportOptions = new ImageExportOptions(ImageFormat.Png);
            map.ExportToImage(ms, exportOptions);

            ms.Position = 0;
            bmp = new Bitmap(System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms));
        }
        return bmp;
    }

Again - this works without a problem.
However, If I remove the UI element and run the following code:
public MapWindow1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    var mapControl = new MapControl
    {
        Name = "TheMap",
        ZoomLevel = 4,
        CenterPoint = new GeoPoint(47, 5)
    };

    var imageLayer = new ImageTilesLayer
    {
        DataProvider = new OpenStreetMapDataProvider()
    };
    mapControl.Layers.Add(imageLayer);

    var vectorLayer = new VectorLayer();
    mapControl.Layers.Add(vectorLayer);
    var mapItemStorage = new MapItemStorage();
    vectorLayer.Data = mapItemStorage;

    var polyLineCollection = DbfGenerator.GeneratePolyLineCollection();

    polyLineCollection.ForEach(line =>
    {
        var mapItem = new MapPolyline();
        mapItemStorage.Items.Add(mapItem);
        mapItem.Points.AddRange(line);
    });

    var m = GenerateMapPng(mapControl);
    m.Save(@"C:\0Temp\test.bmp");

}

I get a NullReferenceException on the "map.ExportToImage(ms, exportOptions);" line.
I'm assuming that when the WPF application loads it calls a method to initialise the map, but I can't find anything that I can manually do to the control (Load/Init method) to mimic this.
Is there a way to trick the MapControl in to thinking it is in a WPF page when it isn't?

A: DevExpress said that this was not possible due to the maps reliance on the UI Thread in WPF

Q: C# Text-stream access denied I guess you know this file well, it's a file for binding some IP to hostnames.

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Notepad can make changes on this file but C# Text-stream couldn't do anything on it and says access denied.
Any ideas why this is happening?
P.S:
My user has enough rights to edit that file because I can edit it with Notepad, but my programm couldn't.
EDIT:
One more thing, it doesn't work with users that are created in ActiveDirectory. users who are not from this computer. They're administrator but they are not the owner.
Could it be ownership problem?

A: UAC???  You need to run your app with elevated privs... also try saving your file you have edited in notepad?  Does that really work?

A: Try to add manifest to your programm and request neccessary rights.


Just how vital is Pedro Obiang to West Ham's success?
West Ham supporters are acutely aware of just how important Pedro Obiang is to the success of the team this season.
So, the news that the 24-year-old is likely to miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury picked up against Leicester last weekend was devastating to say the least.
The Spaniard has been one of the shining lights in a disappointing campaign for the Hammers, despite not coming into the team in the Premier League until the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at the London Stadium back in October.
But after that, he flourished in a defensive midfield role alongside Mark Noble to become one of the first names on Slaven Bilics teamsheet.
When you look at the statistics with Obiang in or out of the team, it's quite alarming how much worse off West Ham are when he doesn't play.
These numbers come via whoscored.com and they demonstrate just how much the Hammers will miss the Spanish U21 international.
With Obiang in the starting eleven, which is 21 times, West Ham have won 33.3% of their games, drawn 28.6% and lost 38.1%.
When he hasn't started though, the Hammers have lost exactly three-quarters of their games played and won only the other 25%.
With him in the side, the Hammers have won seven, drawn six and lost eight. When he hasn't played, which is eight times, West Ham have won just twice and lost the other six.
Strangely, the number of goals scored when Obiang plays and doesn't is exactly the same for the Hammers, 1.38 per game.
In terms of goals conceded though, it's very different. With him in the side, his team ship 1.62 goals per game and when he doesn't, it shoots up to 2.25 goals per game.
With that record and with nine fixtures this season to go, the Hammers are on track to conceded 20 goals for the remainder, which would mean West Ham conceding a whopping 72 goals over the course of 38 games.

Viacom and Google Win Important Dismissal in Online Tracking Class Action
Posted By Ari Moskowitz on January 30th, 2015 Posted in Class Action Litigation
Last week the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey dismissed, with prejudice, class action claims against Google and Viacom concerning targeted advertising and the online tracking of children through cookies. Perhaps surprisingly, the claims did not involve allegations that the parties violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The suit arose from allegations that when users register on Viacom's Nick.com website, they are asked to input their gender and birthday and create a username. Viacom collects this information and gives each user a unique internal code that reflects their gender and age. Viacom then places a cookie on each user's computer, which tracks the user's IP address, browser settings, unique device identifier, certain system and browser information, and the URLs and videos requested from Viacom's children's websites. Viacom would share with Google its unique internal code, along with the record of what parts of the site users interacted with, and Google would place its own cookie on each user's computer. Google and Viacom would then use this information to target the user's with advertising.
The plaintiff's alleged violations of the Wiretap Act, Stored Communications Act, California's Invasion of Privacy Act, the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), New Jersey's Computer Related Offenses Act (CROA), and two New Jersey torts, including Intrusion upon Seclusion. The plaintiffs did not allege violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). In July 2014, the Court dismissed with prejudice all claims except the VPPA claim against Viacom and the CROA and Intrusion upon Seclusion claims against both defendants, about which the court allowed the plaintiffs to amend their complaint.
In January 2015, the court dismissed the amended complaints with prejudice. With regard to the VPPA claim against Viacom, the court found that the plaintiffs had not alleged sufficient facts to show that the information collected by Viacom could actually identify the plaintiffs. The Court noted that the VPPA requires disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII) concerning a consumer, but that there is no support for the proposition that PII includes the kind of information Viacom collected and shared, such as IP address, gender, and age. Further, the court found that this information was insufficient to identify an individual plaintiff and a video that plaintiff watched, as required for a violation of the VPPA to be found. Therefore, the court holds that the VPPA claim fails.
With regard to the CROA claim, the statute requires a showing of business or property damage for a civil suit to go forward. The plaintiffs suggested that unjust enrichment – because Google and Viacom could monetize their PII – is not a form of damage recognized under the statute. In addition, the court was not convinced that a statute designed to target hacking could cover the situation alleged in the facts here. As to the intrusion upon seclusion claim, the court rejects this because such a claim requires a showing that the activities alleged are "highly offensive." Even though many may disapprove of the defendant's actions, the court holds that people routinely understand that companies collect information about them as they browse the Internet.
The court's rejection of unique device identifiers and IP addresses as PII does include such unique persistent identifiers in the COPPA rule adopted by the FTC in 2012. While this court stuck closely to the text of the VPPA, it is entirely possible that some other court would look to the FTC or other statutes for the modern understanding of PII, and particularly children's PII as what was at issue in this case, and come to the opposite conclusion. As to the CROA claims that failed, this is similar to many cases in which prosecutors will charge violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act's unauthorized access provisions to what might otherwise be considered outside the scope of "hacking," which that law was intended to stop. Indeed, this court found the New Jersey equivalent of that statute to be inapplicable. But enough similar claims have moved forward under the CFAA that some of the President's recently proposed revisions to the CFAA are attempts to address such use of the statute – for example, by limiting the scope of liability for exceeding authorized access for breaches of a written policy.

Rada Tomcic in the village "Mala Crna Gora" - Plain around Zabljak
Some 20 km from Zabljak one reaches the small village of Mala Crna Gora (little Montenegro). It is inhabited by some 20 to 25, mostly elderly, people. The village is so remote that Ottoman forces allegedly never managed to enter it. With the first snow, the mountain road becomes impassable. Depending on the ferocity of the weather, the village is cut off from the rest of the world for four up to six months in winter.
Rada Tomcic, in her 60s, lives here with one of her sons. She has six – and five daughters – but all except one have moved elsewhere. Her husband died in 2006. Like the other villagers she spends the summers bracing for the winters, preparing pickles and other food before the snow and ice begin to cover the picturesque village and the surrounding mountain pastures. During some winters she and her son manage only to dig a small path through the snow connecting the house and the stables, where they keep five cows and some sheep. At such times even visiting a neighbour becomes impossible, as does seeing a doctor or getting to school. Even during summer there is no postal service to the village.

Iranian Opposition
Statement by 80 US/UK Church leaders in support of "Free Iran" rally
Mostafa Aslani
The support was seen from a variety of personalities, including Rachel Treweek, Bishop of Gloucester, the Church of England's first Diocesan Bishop, as well as John Pritchard, former Bishop of Oxford. Pritchard and Treweek are only two of the nearly 80 leaders which have pointed out the conditions of Christians in Iran under president Hassan Rouhani has egregiously worsened.
They have outlined that, "Iran's ruling theocracy is rightly a source of grave concern for human rights organizations and institutions with a particular interest in the protection of the rights of Christians… Reports by the UN Secretary General, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, and the US State Department all indicate that the repression of Christians has not only continued but intensified during the presidency of Hassan Rouhani."
Furthermore, the leadership claimed that, "In such circumstances, we call on all Western countries to consider the deplorable situation of human rights in Iran, particularly the painful situation of Christians and the intensification of their oppression, in navigating their relations with Iran. We call upon them to precondition improvement of those relations on the cessation of oppression of Christians and on a halt in executions."
Understanding the importance of the Iranian opposition in these matters, the bishops and priests have thrown their support behind the "Free Iran" gathering that is to take place on the heels of the P5+1 nuclear agreement with the Iranian regime, asking world leaders to maintain caution in dealing with the oppressive regime.
In final, the religious leadership claimed "the time has come for us to listen to the wishes of the Iranian people for freedom, including religious freedoms, and to add our voices to the grand international gathering known as "Free Iran", to be held on July 9, 2016, in Paris to promote freedom and human rights in Iran."

Q: Background text in input type text php I think its a easy question, but i dont know how to search this question in google
I need a background text in a input-text field. Like: Insert Your Name. And when i press in to the field to insert my name, the text disappears
So here's my code now..
<textarea id="dox" name="<?php echo $_SESSION["dox"]; ?>" rows="25" cols="80">hello type here.</textarea><br />

Can anyone help me? Add everything whats needed... thanks alot <3

A: You need the placeholder attribute:
<textarea id="dox" name="<?php echo $_SESSION["dox"]; ?>" rows="25" cols="80" placeholder="hello type here."></textarea>

A: For textarea and input fields you can simply use the "placeholder" attribute like this:
<textarea placeholder="hello type here." id="dox" name="<?php echo $_SESSION["dox"]; ?>" rows="25" cols="80"></textarea>

However, this attribute is not compatible with all (mainly old) Browsers.
If you want to reach those browsers you can use a JQuery Plugin like this for example: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jquery-placeholder
Or use javascript with onfocus and onblur events like this:
<textarea onfocus="if(this.value=='Placeholder text')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='Placeholder text';">Placeholder text</textarea>


Come spend the first Friday of the new year at AVALON Hollywood's first CONTROL Friday of 2019 with PIERCE and Blaqout. If you're looking for a night filled with deep bass and refined beats, this one's for you! The stage will be graced with two of Los Angeles' own masterminds in the underground scene for an unparalleled night.
Taking the stage for a set filled with bass and hardstyle trap is PIERCE. These past few years have been pivotal for him as he's had releases on Spinnin' Records in 2016, Insomniac's Bassrush Records in 2017, and most recently, his latest track with Eliminate titled "With Me" feat. PLTO was just released on Disciple Records. After 6 years of molding his production and performance style, PIERCE is continuing to make waves in the electronic music scene year after year. Herobust, Jauz, Spag Heddy, and Doctor P are just a handful of the notable names that have shown support for PIERCE.
Co-headlining the show will be bass music aficionado Blaqout. After moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles to pursue his passion of music, he's proved himself successful with major releases on Buygore Records, Borgore's own label, and Firepower Records, which boasts an impressive roster of talent including Kayzo, Bear Grillz, YOOKiE, and more. In 2017, his single "GTFO" with D-Jahsta and Uzzi climbed to the #1 spot on the Beatport release chart, causing his fan base to grow even further. He's racked in praise from artists such as Zeds Dead, NGHTMRE, and Slander, so expect to be blown away when he joins us on the fourth.
Make sure to kick off your first weekend of the new year the right way with PIERCE and Blaqout. Grab your tickets now and join us for an undoubtedly epic night.

Throwback Thursday -- our oldest "helping" mom with the ornaments!
Lots of people can't believe we've done what we have all these years! Our business grew up with our family through multiple moves and raising three kids. This is our oldest daughter, Remy, helping me out with the ornaments in our home when we lived in Escondido, California.
Wow! She must have not even been two-years-old in this picture, now she's 30! If you look closely you can see what our ballerina ornament looked like way back when. Running your own business isn't always glamorous, but I did get the pleasure of being home everyday with my kids when they were little and giving them big hugs when they came bursting through the door after school.
It's crazy that another holiday season is already rapidly approaching! I better get back to making ornaments, but I just wanted to thank you for all the support you've given our family throughout the years! We wouldn't still be in business if it weren't for people like you, who care about handcrafted products made with love by families like ours.

EU can no longer 'turn a blind eye' to victims of discrimination
Solutions exist to combat discrimination in the EU, but their implementation will require 'political courage', writes Michaël Privot.
By Michaël Privot
55 years ago, on 21 March, 69 black individuals who were peacefully demonstrating for equality and against apartheid laws were killed for their involvement in the event. This date has since been declared the "international day for the elimination of racial discrimination", in remembrance of the harmful impact of racism on individuals and communities.
Today, it is more important than ever to seize this opportunity to take stock of progress - or lack thereof - in combating racial discrimination in Europe. There is unfortunately little to celebrate for the 60 million EU citizens and residents who face racism and discrimination on a daily basis.
For ethnic and religious minorities in Europe, including black people, Roma, Muslims, Jews and migrants from non-EU countries, discrimination continues to be a major obstacle in many areas of life - whether when looking for a job, accommodation, in education or when seeking access to justice. Not to mention daily incidents of racist violence - from 'trivial' jibes to violent physical attacks.
The ongoing financial and economic crisis which Europe has been facing for the last seven years, coupled with a lack of social investment, has hardly helped matters. Instead, discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities and migrants has increased, as has the employment gap between the latter and the rest of the population.
In Finland and Belgium, for instance, unemployment rates are three times higher for people born outside the EU - irrespective of their qualifications. In the Netherlands, more than half of recruitment agencies complied with a request not to introduce candidates of Moroccan, Turkish or Surinamese descent.
"The EU institutions can no longer turn a blind eye to the fact that allowing millions of people to be discriminated against and excluded results in a huge waste of talents, skills and wealth, ultimately affecting the well-being of all people living in Europe"
The recent terror and anti-Semitic attacks in France and Copenhagen have shown what the vicious circle of exclusion, mutual fear and suspicion can lead to. Social inequalities lead to exclusion and violence, and youth who do not feel they are part of society, without any perspective of a better future, are more and more attracted towards ideologies and groups promoting radical violence, whether jihadist organisations or far-right movements.
In this light, it is essential to take a comprehensive approach to effectively combat racism. EU leaders and decision makers can take the following steps to achieve this.
First, there are strong EU equality laws in place, but these need to be better enforced and further improved. Too many employers, for instance, eschew their responsibility because discrimination cases are not pursued or do not result in any sanctions, turning legislation into an implicit licence to discriminate.
Similarly, EU legislation on combating racist violence should be reinforced to ensure that racist motives of alleged crimes are systematically unveiled by the police and that victims are better protected.
Laws must also be complemented by specific policy strategies to address Afrophobia, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. The adoption of the European framework for national Roma integration strategies in 2011 demonstrated the EU's political will to fight the specific discrimination faced by its largest ethnic minority. Now, other communities experiencing specific discrimination also need targeted actions and policies.
Finally, the EU should ensure that member states collect equality data to measure racial and religious discrimination, as systematically as they do with gender and age. Without actual figures, how can policymakers monitor the effectiveness of anti-discrimination measures?
Solutions exist, but they require political courage. The EU institutions can no longer turn a blind eye to the fact that allowing millions of people to be discriminated against and excluded results in a huge waste of talents, skills and wealth, ultimately affecting the wellbeing of all people living in Europe.
If they continue to bury their heads in the sand, racism, exclusion and violence will continue to be our reality for the years to come.

Jacqueline Hansen was the first woman to break 2:45 in the marathon (in 1974), then the first to run sub-2:40 (in 1975) running 2:38.19 for a world record 40 years ago. Her life as a marathoner was launched as a Boston Marathon winner (in 1973). Her efforts with the International Runners Committee helped win a spot for this event, and other long-distance races, in the Olympic Games. She currently "teaches teachers" about Health Education in graduate schools; and she "coaches coaches and athletes" through running clinics around the world. She has published one book and is working on another.

Native to New Zealand found in both North Island and South Island in coastal to low-alpine areas. It can withstand temperatures down to -28° C. It forms a dense cluster up to 1 m tall of spiky three-pinnate leaves. The narrow blue-green leaves are highly divided with rigid serrated or crenulated margins and midrib and with pungent tips. These will pierce tramping boots. During November to January sweet scented star-shaped yellow flowers on compound umbels are carried on a stalk up 1 m tall. These stalks are also covered in razor sharp spears presumably as a defence against animals. The name is derived From the Latin acicula ';needle' and the Greek phyllum 'leaf', meaning needle-leaf.


Sciana Member John Palmer has discussed the importance of partnerships in health care delivery as part of an interview with BBC News Wales.
Palmer, a member of the 2017 Sciana cohort, spoke to the BBC in his position as chief operating officer of the Cwm Taf University Health Board.
Four days into Palmer's new position last winter, the Royal Glamorgan Hospital experienced its busiest day on record.
Speaking to the BBC, he said, "We were expecting five to six additional patients a day - we had planned for that. We had as many as 32 patients a day from January onwards.
"I was amazed how NHS staff held it together but partnerships are absolutely essential and there's no way the health service can deliver what it does by itself - you need local authorities, police and fire services and a broad range of voluntary organisations, the Red Cross, St John's and others."

Q: Mahout RecommenderEvaluator with IDRescorer I use RecommenderEvaluator to estimate Mahout's recommendation efficiency. Currently, I try to improve recommendation results with IDRescorer which will do some post-processing boost of the searched items.
RecommenderEvaluator evaluator =
    new AverageAbsoluteDifferenceRecommenderEvaluator();
double evaluation = evaluator.evaluate(builder, myModel, 0.9, 0.9);

Is there any way in Mahout to tell RecommenderEvaluator to use my custom IDRescorer?

A: You can create your own implementation of the Recommender class
class CustomRecommender implements Recommender{
....
public List<RecommendedItem> recommend(long userID, int howMany) throws TasteException {
 IDRescorer rescorer = new CustomResorer();
 return delegate.recommend(userID, howMany, rescorer);
 }
 public List<RecommendedItem> recommend(long userID, int howMany, IDRescorer rescorer) throws TasteException {
    return delegate.recommend(userID, howMany, rescorer);
 }
 public float estimatePreference(long userID, long itemID) throws TasteException {
   IDRescorer rescorer = new CustomResorer();
   return (float) rescorer.rescore( itemID, delegate.estimatePreference(userID, itemID));
 }
...
}

Here even if the recommendation is called without rescorer, you will incorporate it in the recommend and estimatePreference methods.
And then when you build the RecommenderBuilder you will create an instance of your recommender:
RecommenderBuilder recommenderBuilder = new RecommenderBuilder() {
   @Override
   public Recommender buildRecommender(DataModel model) throws TasteException {
    Similarity similarity = new ...
    return new CustomRecommender(model, similarity);
   }

};


i make to claims to any of these - i just compiled it.
Additions / corrections etc gratefully received.
If I  saw   you now, could I look in your eyes?
Do you think of me like I dream of you?
Do you wish you were here    like I wish I was with you?
You loved me before, do you love me now?
Or does it go on and beat strong anyway?

Q: substract two date end return value I need help to build a query to substract two dates in mongodb.
I have some documents like above :
{"_id" : "32472034809", "center": "102030", dateArq : 141010, inDate : "ISODate("2014-06-06T02:57:19.000-03:00)", biDate : ISODate("2014-06-07T02:57:19.000-03:00)"}

And Im trying to write a query
db.teste.aggregation([{$match : {dateArq : 141010}},{$project : {$subtract : ["$biDate" "$inDate"]}}])

In fact, I want to do : for each _id I want to result biDate - inDate , because I need to see if  dateArq keep in a line constante.
In Oracle I did
select dateArq, (biDate - inDate) diff from teste where dateArq = 141010

Tks for help

A: The document and aggregation pipeline provided had syntax problems, and you needed to put a field name for the result of the $subtract, but otherwise your pipeline works for me:
> db.test.findOne()
{
    "_id" : "32472034809",
    "center" : "102030",
    "dateArq" : 141010,

    "biDate" : ISODate("2014-06-07T05:57:19Z")
}
> db.test.findOnedb.test.aggregate([
    { "$match" : { "dateArq" : 141010 } },
    { "$project" : { "dateDiff" : { "$subtract" : ["$biDate", "$inDate"] } } }
])
