Among the 5,000 books in his home is Dr. Lown's first: "The Lost Art of Healing: Practicing Compassion in Medicine." He is professor emeritus at the Harvard School of Public Health, and the inventor of the heart-starting defibrillator.
LOWN: We have roughly about 15,000, we and the Russians. But it doesn't matter, because we have enough to destroy the world. What does it matter when you have the capacity to destroy the world twice or five times?
GELLERMAN: But my question to you is, 23 years after you've won the Nobel Prize, we've got, we still have this incredible capacity to commit mass genocide, suicide. Have you succeeded, or did you fail?
LOWN: Look at the serendipity, the coincidence. We are reviled in the press, we're sitting in a press conference, it's filled with journalists, red-baiting, attacking as viciously as you can imagine, Chazov primarily. In this packed news conference a Russian journalist is raising his hand and next I look around he's on the floor, he has collapsed. Chazov and I were next to him and I've dealt with sudden death all my life. I recognize that it's a cardiac arrest, it is clear to any doctor, and the place is also full of doctors.
GELLERMAN: Well, we now have this business of nuclear weapons that is a trillion dollar business, that we're still very much in business, and still has the potential to destroy the planet and everything on it many many times over.
GELLERMAN: Dr. Bernard Lown's book, "Prescription for Survival," is an attempt to preserve the past. To write it, he tried to get his files from the federal government.
GELLERMAN: There's nothing there. The only word on the page is "Secret-Classified by G-3." That's it.
LOWN: Why are you asking me, why aren't you asking the CIA that question? I mean you're asking me. I'm the victim.
LOWN: Well, I didn't view myself other than a doctor who's trying to heal a sick planet.
GELLERMAN: Dr. Bernard Lown, co-founder of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and author of the new book "Prescription for Survival: A Doctor's Journey to End Nuclear Madness."

5 ways you can attract and retain millennials
Basil Adamou
Millennials are a different breed, but like it or not they're going to make up a growing percentage of your workforce. So how do you get the best out of them?
It's predicted by 2020 that millennials will make up more than half of the global workforce, so you'd better get used to them.
Smart employers will start to change their business to attract and retain the best and brightest of them.
Here's five ways you can.
1. Workplace culture
Two in three millennials expect to leave their current job by 2020, according to Deloitte.
While millennials are prone to change jobs more quickly and seek new experiences, there are ways you make them stick around longer.
Create a culture where they wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Of course, this isn't built overnight, it takes time – and it's not just Friday night drinks, a table tennis table or a PlayStation in the break room.
It's about having shared ideals, a common purpose and creating an environment where employees feel valued.
Millennials want an environment where they can voice their opinion and feel like they're contributing to meaningful work.
If you can strike a balance between allowing employees to show their personalities and have fun in the workplace, while achieving results, your 'youngsters' will be content.
2. Feedback, Recognition and Rewards
When it comes to feedback, millennials prefer it frequently and honestly.
A regular coffee catch up where you can have a quick and frank discussion is the ideal way to carry out a performance review for a millennial.
Surprisingly, when it's comes to motivation, it's not always about bonuses. Yes, a higher salary may keep millennials satisfied, but investing back in their skills and development is just as rewarding.
You don't need grand award ceremonies to win over millennials either. It's about finding regular and small ways to show that you value them.
Think about just shouting them a coffee, lunch, or even just telling them if they're knocking it out of the park.
3. Flexible working arrangements
Millennials crave flexibility.
They love having the option to work anytime, anywhere or be in control of their work hours.
Of course this isn't feasible for all types of businesses, so it's about offering an arrangement that suits both parties.
It could be the ability to work flexible hours, work from home or even offering the odd rostered day off.
Work-life balance is a key measure of job satisfaction for millennials, so offering some degree of flexibility is a great way to makes sure they're both satisfied and productive at work.
4. 'I can handle it'
Do you like working with somebody looking over your shoulder the whole time? Do you like driving while somebody in the back seat offers helpful advice?
Probably not, and neither do millennials.
They the crave autonomy to do their jobs and do them well.
This doesn't necessarily mean throwing them in the deep end when it comes to work, it means teaching them how to do something the right way and then having the trust in them to do the work.
Ultimately, millennials want a mentor, not a micro-manager.
Deloitte found that 94 percent of millennials with a mentor feel that they provide 'good advice' and 91 percent felt that their mentor was 'interested in their personal development'.
If you can get that balance right between challenging and guiding your millennials, you'll create a positive workplace environment.
They'll be eager to genuinely contribute – and that's great for business.
5. Aligning purposes
For most millennials, business should be about more than just about maximising profit.
87 percent of millennials surveyed in The Deloitte Millennial Survey 2016 believed that "the success of a business should be measured in terms of more than just its financial performance".
If you want to retain your 'young stars', it's crucial to align with their values and openly communicate this. But what are they?
There are five areas where millennials believe businesses' sense of purpose should be far greater than they currently are.
Improving skills
Job satisfaction levels of employees
Providing goods and services that make a positive impact on consumer lives
So, what's your business' purpose?
If there isn't a focus on your people, your customers or your wider community then that's not going to go down too well with millennials.
It wouldn't hurt to include your millennials in this process, either.
It turns out that millennials are deeper than their Instagram profiles would suggest, and with millennials making up more and more of your workforce it's time you look deeper if you want to attract and retain the best of them.

CBDT sets up 30 assessment centres in 20 cities as part of new faceless taxation program
Each of the regional centres, which will have a separate review unit and verification unit, will report to the National e-Assessment Centre
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has set up Regional e-Assessment Centres with 30 headquarters across 20 cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, under the faceless assessment scheme notified on Thursday.
Each of the regional centres, which will have a separate review unit and verification unit, will report to the National e-Assessment Centre (NeAC), that will issue randomized notices of scrutiny.
The structural change has been brought into immediate effect, and closely follows directives under the Transparent Taxation platform launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, aimed at easing taxpayers' woes and simplifying the tax administration.
The Board amended the E-assessment Scheme, 2019 on Thursday to call it the Faceless Assessment Scheme, soon after the PM's announcements for implementing faceless assessments. As per the changes, principal chief commissioner of income tax or principal director general of income tax will be in-charge of NeAC and will have powers to refer a case to a jurisdictional assessing officer at any stage of assessment, with prior Board approval.
The authority will also lay down circumstances under which a case can be referred to an assessing officer, and also where personal hearing will be allowed, in a separate notification, the Board said.
The Faceless assessment scheme will also include 'best judgment assessments' in cases where the taxpayer is not cooperating with the tax authorities. Earlier, only jurisdictional assessing officers could undertake assessments to the best of their judgement also known as best judgement assessments.
Experts said that sometimes jurisdictional assessing officers may be familiar with taxpayers and contact or convince them to cooperate with tax authorities to duly complete the assessment proceedings, especially in cases where taxpayers would miss the notices inadvertently.
"Now, even in these cases, assessment can be done under Faceless Assessment scheme, based on NeAC instructions, so taxpayers would need to be extra careful to comply with the notices issued by NeAC as missing of notices may result in issuance of adverse best-judgment orders," said Shailesh Kumar, partner at Nangia & Co LLP.

De Sacramentskerk (of: Allerheiligst Sacramentskerk) is de Rooms-Katholieke parochiekerk van Middelrode, gelegen aan Driezeeg 40.

De kerk werd gebouwd in het kader van een reconstructie van het centrum van Middelrode, en werd ontworpen door Jan Strik volgens de principes van de Bossche School. De kerk werd ingewijd in 1950, nadat Middelrode in 1946 was verheven tot een zelfstandige parochie. De bakstenen kerk werd uitgevoerd in basilicastijl. Ze heeft een dakruiter als klokkentoren. De klok, uit 1483, is afkomstig van de voormalige kapel.

Recente ontwikkelingen
In 2004 werd de parochie van Middelrode samengevoegd met die van Berlicum. De nieuwe parochie werd gewijd aan de Heilige Norbertus. In 2007 werden plannen ontvouwd om de Sacramentskerk uiteindelijk af te stoten. Vanaf 1 juli 2012 wordt de Sint-Petruskerk te Berlicum onttrokken aan de eredienst en worden de diensten voor de inwoners van Berlicum en Middelrode in de Sacramentskerk gehouden. Uiteindelijk wil het kerkbestuur de Sint-Petruskerk slopen en op de plaats ervan een nieuw, kleiner, liturgisch centrum oprichten. Vervolgens zou ook de Sacramentskerk onttrokken worden aan de eredienst en dreigt sloop van dit voorbeeld van wederopbouw-architectuur.

Antimicrobial resistance patterns of urine culture specimens from 27 nursing homes: Impact of a two-year antimicrobial stewardship intervention
Meera Tandan, Philip D. Sloane, Kimberly Ward, David J. Weber, Akke Vellinga, Christine E. Kistler, Sheryl Zimmerman
Journal: Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology / Volume 40 / Issue 7 / July 2019
Identify changes in the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of potentially pathogenic bacteria in urine cultures during a 2-year antimicrobial stewardship intervention program in nursing homes (NHs).
Before-and-after intervention study.
The study included 27 NHs in North Carolina.
We audited all urine cultures ordered before and during an antimicrobial stewardship intervention. Analyses compared culture rates, culture positive rates, and pathogen antimicrobial resistance patterns.
Of 6,718 total urine cultures collected, 68% were positive for potentially pathogenic bacteria. During the intervention, significant reductions in the urine culture and positive culture rates were observed (P = .014). Most of the identified potentially uropathogenic isolates were Escherichia coli (38%), Proteus spp (13%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (12%). A significant decrease was observed during the intervention period in nitrofurantoin resistance among E. coli (P ≤ .001) and ciprofloxacin resistance among Proteus spp (P ≤ .001); however carbapenem resistance increased for Proteus spp (P ≤ .001). Multidrug resistance also increased for Proteus spp compared to the baseline. The high baseline resistance of E. coli to the commonly prescribed antimicrobials ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) did not change during the intervention.
The antimicrobial stewardship intervention program significantly reduced urine culture and culture-positive rates. Overall, very high proportions of antimicrobial resistance were observed among common pathogens; however, antimicrobial resistance trended downward but reductions were too small and scattered to conclude that the intervention significantly changed antimicrobial resistance. Longer intervention periods may be needed to effect change in resistance patterns.

Journal: Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology / Volume 40 / Issue 6 / June 2019
Determining infectious cross-transmission events in healthcare settings involves manual surveillance of case clusters by infection control personnel, followed by strain typing of clinical/environmental isolates suspected in said clusters. Recent advances in genomic sequencing and cloud computing now allow for the rapid molecular typing of infecting isolates.
To facilitate rapid recognition of transmission clusters, we aimed to assess infection control surveillance using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of microbial pathogens to identify cross-transmission events for epidemiologic review.
Clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were obtained prospectively at an academic medical center, from September 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017. Isolate genomes were sequenced, followed by single-nucleotide variant analysis; a cloud-computing platform was used for whole-genome sequence analysis and cluster identification.
Most strains of the 4 studied pathogens were unrelated, and 34 potential transmission clusters were present. The characteristics of the potential clusters were complex and likely not identifiable by traditional surveillance alone. Notably, only 1 cluster had been suspected by routine manual surveillance.
Our work supports the assertion that integration of genomic and clinical epidemiologic data can augment infection control surveillance for both the identification of cross-transmission events and the inclusion of missed and exclusion of misidentified outbreaks (ie, false alarms). The integration of clinical data is essential to prioritize suspect clusters for investigation, and for existing infections, a timely review of both the clinical and WGS results can hold promise to reduce HAIs. A richer understanding of cross-transmission events within healthcare settings will require the expansion of current surveillance approaches.
A One Health investigation of Salmonella enterica serovar Wangata in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia, 2016–2017

Salmonella enterica serovar Wangata (S. Wangata) is an important cause of endemic salmonellosis in Australia, with human infections occurring from undefined sources. This investigation sought to examine possible environmental and zoonotic sources for human infections with S. Wangata in north-eastern New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The investigation adopted a One Health approach and was comprised of three complimentary components: a case–control study examining human risk factors; environmental and animal sampling; and genomic analysis of human, animal and environmental isolates. Forty-eight human S. Wangata cases were interviewed during a 6-month period from November 2016 to April 2017, together with 55 Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) controls and 130 neighbourhood controls. Indirect contact with bats/flying foxes (S. Typhimurium controls (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06–6.48)) (neighbourhood controls (aOR 8.33, 95% CI 2.58–26.83)), wild frogs (aOR 3.65, 95% CI 1.32–10.07) and wild birds (aOR 6.93, 95% CI 2.29–21.00) were statistically associated with illness in multivariable analyses. S. Wangata was detected in dog faeces, wildlife scats and a compost specimen collected from the outdoor environments of cases' residences. In addition, S. Wangata was detected in the faeces of wild birds and sea turtles in the investigation area. Genomic analysis revealed that S. Wangata isolates were relatively clonal. Our findings suggest that S. Wangata is present in the environment and may have a reservoir in wildlife populations in north-eastern NSW. Further investigation is required to better understand the occurrence of Salmonella in wildlife groups and to identify possible transmission pathways for human infections.

We describe diet quality by demographic factors and weight status among Barbadian children and examine associations with excess energy intake (EI). A screening tool for the identification of children at risk of excess EI was developed.
In a cross-sectional survey, the Diet Quality Index–International (DQI-I) was used to assess dietary intakes from repeat 24h recalls among 362 children aged 9–10 years. Participants were selected by probability proportional to size. A model to identify excess energy intake from easily measured components of the DQI-I was developed.
Barbados.
Primary-school children in Barbados.
Over one-third of children were overweight/obese, and mean EI for boys (8644 (se 174·5) kJ/d (2066 (se 41·7) kcal/d)) and girls (8912 (se 169·9) kJ/d (2130 (se 40·6) kcal/d)) exceeded the RDA. Children consuming a variety of food groups, more vegetables and fruits, and lower percentage energy contribution from empty-calorie foods showed reduced likelihood of excess EI. Intake of more than 2400 mg Na/d and higher macronutrient and fatty acid ratios were positively related to the consumption of excess energy. A model using five DQI-I components (overall food group variety, variety for protein source, vegetables, fruits and empty calorie intake) had high sensitivity for identification of children at risk of excess EI.
Children's diet quality, despite low intakes of fruit and vegetables, was within acceptable ranges as assessed by the DQI-I and RDA; however, portion size was large and EI high. A practical model for identification of children at risk of excess EI has been developed.

We evaluated the performance of three serological tests – an immunoglobulin G indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA), a Rose Bengal test and a slow agglutination test (SAT) – for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in Bangladesh. Cattle sera (n = 1360) sourced from Mymensingh district (MD) and a Government owned dairy farm (GF) were tested in parallel. We used a Bayesian latent class model that adjusted for the conditional dependence among the three tests and assumed constant diagnostic accuracy of the three tests in both populations. The sensitivity and specificity of the three tests varied from 84.6% to 93.7%, respectively. The true prevalences of bovine brucellosis in MD and the GF were 0.6% and 20.4%, respectively. Parallel interpretation of iELISA and SAT yielded the highest negative predictive values: 99.9% in MD and 99.6% in the GF; whereas serial interpretation of both iELISA and SAT produced the highest positive predictive value (PPV): 99.9% in the GF and also high PPV (98.9%) in MD. We recommend the use of both iELISA and SAT together and serial interpretation for culling and parallel interpretation for import decisions. Removal of brucellosis positive cattle will contribute to the control of brucellosis as a public health risk in Bangladesh.

Inferential Approaches for Network Analysis: AMEN for Latent Factor Models
Shahryar Minhas, Peter D. Hoff, Michael D. Ward
Journal: Political Analysis / Volume 27 / Issue 2 / April 2019
We introduce a Bayesian approach to conduct inferential analyses on dyadic data while accounting for interdependencies between observations through a set of additive and multiplicative effects (AME). The AME model is built on a generalized linear modeling framework and is thus flexible enough to be applied to a variety of contexts. We contrast the AME model to two prominent approaches in the literature: the latent space model (LSM) and the exponential random graph model (ERGM). Relative to these approaches, we show that the AME approach is (a) to be easy to implement; (b) interpretable in a general linear model framework; (c) computationally straightforward; (d) not prone to degeneracy; (e) captures first-, second-, and third-order network dependencies; and (f) notably outperforms ERGMs and LSMs on a variety of metrics and in an out-of-sample context. In summary, AME offers a straightforward way to undertake nuanced, principled inferential network analysis for a wide range of social science questions.

This volume provides a practical introduction to the method of maximum likelihood as used in social science research. Ward and Ahlquist focus on applied computation in R and use real social science data from actual, published research. Unique among books at this level, it develops simulation-based tools for model evaluation and selection alongside statistical inference. The book covers standard models for categorical data as well as counts, duration data, and strategies for dealing with data missingness. By working through examples, math, and code, the authors build an understanding about the contexts in which maximum likelihood methods are useful and develop skills in translating mathematical statements into executable computer code. Readers will not only be taught to use likelihood-based tools and generate meaningful interpretations, but they will also acquire a solid foundation for continued study of more advanced statistical techniques.

Карбонатизация — химическая реакция, где гидроксид кальция реагирует с углекислым газом и нерастворимыми формами карбоната кальция: Ca(OH) 2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

Процесс формирования карбонатов также называют сатурацией, хотя этот термин может также относиться к процессу карбонизации.

Окисление и гидратация

Карбонатизация представляет собой процесс присоединения углекислоты к продуктам изменения горных пород, приводящий к образованию карбонатов кальция, железа, магния и других металлов. В приведенном выше случае образования каолина карбонатизация проявляется в возникновении карбоната калия, или поташа.

Подавляющее большинство карбонатов довольно хорошо растворимо в воде и поэтому выносится ею из формирующейся коры выветривания в подстилающие породы, где часть из них переотлагается, образуя стяжения (конкреции). Много карбонатов выносится также в грунтовые воды, обусловливая их жесткость, то есть неспособность смывать жиры и давать пену в соединении с мылом. Но в странах с сухим климатом большая часть образующихся карбонатов остается в коре выветривания в тонко распыленном виде или в форме стяжений. Такая карбонатная кора выветривания состоит из глин, суглинков и супесей, сильно вскипающих с соляной кислотой. Восстановление является процессом, обратным окислению, и заключается в потере веществом части или всего содержащегося в нем химически связанного кислорода.

В условиях поверхности суши свободный кислород, содержащийся в атмосфере и в водных растворах, обычно приводит к окислению продуктов выветривания, и восстановление при этом, конечно, проявляться не может. Оно участвует в выветривании только там, где почему-либо нет свободного кислорода.

В условиях болот все поры пород и покрывающей их рыхлой коры выветривания заполнены водой, в которую за счет отмирания болотной растительности поступает много органических веществ. Все они являются сильными восстановителями, так как легко соединяются с кислородом при своем разложении. При этом не только используется весь растворенный в воде свободный кислород, но и отнимается часть кислорода, химически связанного в минералах породы. В результате этого окись железа переходит в закись железа (Fe0), гидраты которой имеют зеленоватый цвет. Возникает серо-зеленая или сизая глинистая масса, подстилающая обычно торфяники и называемая в почвоведении глеем.

Процесс его образования получил название оглеения. Наряду с последним при выветривании в восстановительной среде может происходить и образование ряда минералов, бедных или лишенных кислорода и обычно отсутствующих в коре выветривания, например таких, как пирит или марказит и др. Окислению подвержены в первую очередь минералы, содержащие железо, серу, ванадий, марганец, никель, кобальт и другие легко соединяющиеся с кислородом элементы. Факторами окисления являются кислород воздуха и вода. В присутствии влаги закиси металлов, входящие в состав горных пород и минералов, легко переходят в окиси, сульфиды — в сульфаты и т. д. Направление изменений зависит от климатических условий. Во влажном климате образуются богатые водой гидраты окислов железа: 2 Fe203 + ЗН2О = 2Fe203 • ЗН2О. На поверхности выветривающихся горных пород, содержащих железо, образуются бурые корки лимонита. В нижней части почвы накапливаются ортзанды, представляющие собой осадок бурого железняка, цементирующего пески. В жарком климате благодаря интенсивному прогреванию солнечными лучами и испарению влаги вода легко отнимается от окислов железа. При окислении железа, содержащегося в горных породах, здесь образуются бедные водой или лишенные воды минералы группы гематита (2 Fe203 • Н20 или Fe203), имеющие красную окраску. Поэтому почвы коры выветривания тропических областей характеризуются красной окраской и способностью быстро твердеть при высыхании. Это легкое затвердевание и кирпично-красная окраска послужили причиной наименования таких образований латеритными (от латинского слова «латер» — кирпич).

Q: Is there a way to check if a url has route constraint in Blazor? I have a page with route constraint @page "/users/{userId:int}"
I have another page @page "/users/"
I want to know which of the url is being routed to, then perform an action based on that.
I'm thinking if I should get a way to check if a url has route constraint (and even get the constraint and its type), my problem would be solved.
MORE INFO
I'm checking this on a nav menu page so I could know which menu item to set as active

A: in this scenario if you call users page then @page "/users/" this page will be called if you call users with a parameter than @page "users/{userid:int}" will call
its on depend you what is you calling

A: You can check it in a lifecycle event like this:
[Parameter]
public int? userId { get; set; }

protected override void OnParametersSet()
{
  if (userId is not null)
  {
    // Perform action when user id is present
  }
}

Note that OnParametersSet also have an async version.

The contretemps between Uber and Taxi drivers over the UberPop service continue to escalate with Brazil now dragged in. Angry Taxi drivers in Brazil's main cities of Rio de Janeiro protested aganist Uber blocking major roads and stalling traffic during rush hours claiming that the ride hailing service was bringing unfair competition. This comes just several weeks after similar incidents in France over the same service led to the French government ordering a national clampdown on Uber. In France, the situation also led to the prosecution of two managers of the San Francisco based company for running an illegal operation. The taxi drivers parked their cabs in a 5 kilometers stretch along main highways honking and chanting.
In response to the protests in Brazil, Uber offered free rides to customers in what they called a difficult day to get around, according to Reuters. Uber has come under fire in several markets where it operates on claims of unfair competition, claims that their drivers are not well regulated as well as concerns over security issues. In Brazil, law makers have passed legislation to ban the service following stiff competition against taxi drivers.
Uber runs several services which include Uber Black, a luxury chauffeur service with Mercedes S-class limousines which costs the same or less than the taxi to ride. Uber Pop (UberX locally), a low cost option in which drivers use their own cars. UberXL but with vehicles of higher standards and charging higher prices. It also has Uber Chopper, a helicopter hailing service, Uber Auto for rickshaws in India and Uber for Boats service. Interestingly, Brazil is home to EasyTaxi, a company offering similar ride hailing services.

Opinion - 'Limerick hurlers under pressure for the first time' - Jerome O'Connell
Jerome O'Connell
Thou shall not pass: Donal Burke of Dublin in action against Sean Finn of Limerick when the two sides met last season in the league
SEVEN months after Declan Hannon lifted the Liam MacCarthy Cup on the steps of the Hogan Stand, Sunday feels like the first big test for All-Ireland champions Limerick.
Yes, Limerick have already played eight competitive fixtures in the 2019 season but Sunday is knockout hurling in a neutral ground with a place in the final of the secondary national competition at place.
The Division 1A group phase of the league felt somewhat like a victory lap for Limerick. I am not dismissing the contests – there were some great games and key indicators for John Kiely's men ahead of the Munster SHC.
But at the end of the day there was little on the line in those five league games with no relegation from the top flight this Spring. It's hard to know where any team was at in their training programme on any given day and I doubt most teams would have used about the 30-player mark had relegation been an issue.
The games were fast and furious but still something was lacking in the games – the real cut and trust of championship with a real tangible prize on offer.
Nonetheless, Limerick went about their business in a professional manner – on the field continuing where they left off last August and at time looked like a side that have added to their armoury. Off the field, they were just as impressive – top ambassadors for Limerick GAA with their supporter inaction after the final whistle.
Limerick have played six Allianz Hurling League games with 32 different players getting game time – all bar three in starting roles.
What is impressive is that the spread of players didn't' halt the Limerick rhythm – even in defeat to Cork and the draw with Clare, performance was maintained for periods in both games.
The league quarter final was knockout but given that Laois were the opposition, it felt very much like a foregone conclusion and that's what materialised in Portlaoise.
Sunday should be different. No matter how a county approached the league heretofore, all will want to make the step from semi final to final.
There are five in the Limerick set-up that will potentially be starting a fourth successive league semi final and yet to taste success – Nickie Quaid, Richie English, Diarmaid Byrnes, Gearoid Hegarty and Cian Lynch.
The simply reality is that Limerick are 70-minutes away from ending a 13 year wait to reach a league final. None of the 42-man panel have played in a league final and surely would love to add a league medal to their Celtic Cross of last August.
Dublin, Galway and Waterford stand between Limerick and more silverware.
Pressure can bring strange results and for the first time since last August, Limerick will be under pressure on Sunday – the hottest of 3/10 favourites to reach the final but playing a team that have already beaten Tipperary and Waterford and have nothing to lose against the All-Ireland champions.
The Limerick set-up will say that there is no greater pressure or expectation than the one they place on themselves but Joe-Public can sense more silverware and will be expectant.
Limerick preparation should be ideal – St Patricks Bank Holiday weekend free from competitive fare as part of a two week build-up to the semi final.
After much experimentation, Limerick will surely go fully loaded to Nowlan Park and much interest will centre on the team announcement on Friday night.
To-date, the tag of champions has rested softly on the shoulders of the Limerick players and management and I do expect normal service to continue on Sunday against Dublin and send the men in green and white into a league final but it will be interesting to see if any dynamic changes given that something tangible is now on the line.

The name of EastEnders' first gay bar has been revealed
Shannon Power
Shannon is Gay Star News' Asia Pacific reporter and lives…
Transphobe Posie Parker launches sticker campaign: 'Trans women are men'
The name of the new gay bar on one of the UK's most beloved TV soap operas has been revealed.
EastEnders set in London's East End will become the first soap to have a gay bar amongst its permanent sets.
The new bar based in Walford, East London will have the name: The Prince Albert.
Character Kathy Beale will run the bar after after taking her time renovating it and deciding what to name the new bar. Beale could only afford the lease to the bar when she realized the necklace her son Ben gave her was worth 'a considerable amount of money'.
Walford drinking holes have provided the backdrop for some of EastEnders' most dramatic moments.
'From a simple pint over the head to numerous affair reveals and even murder, Walford watering holes are often very dangerous places,' the EastEnders publicity team said in a statement.
The publicity team ominously warned as 'Kathy settles in behind the bar, only time will tell what drama will unfold on the dancefloor'.

EastEnders' Pride march
The Prince Albert's doors will swing open sometime in June ahead of EastEnders' first ever Pride march in July.
As one of the UK's most popular soaps, Eastenders has aimed to reflect the diversity of modern-day London.
The show was also one of the first prime-time entertainment shows in Britain to include LGBTI representation.
In 1987, the soap aired the first same-sex kiss when one male character gave another a peck on the forehead. The following year it went one step further when it showed two men kissing on the lips.
EastEnders airs on BBC One.

First Assembly of God's mission is to reach as many people as possible, as enabled by the Holy Spirit, with the Gospel.
We must minister to the whole man – body, soul and spirit – to accomplish this goal effectively.
not only in Pine Bluff and Southeast Arkansas but also in the state, the nation, and literally around the world.
What about my students and kids?
Students (7th through 12th Grade) enjoy a complete but separate service each Wednesday evening. Other opportunities for fellowship, activities, and ministry are also available.
In both services on Sunday morning, we also offer separate kids' services that are designed to both lead kids to Jesus and to facilitate growth and spiritual maturity in a high-energy and age-appropriate format. 1st through 6th graders meet in the gym, and Junior Kids' Church and preschoolers meet in the 300 hall behind the office wing. Special ministry for all children is available each Wednesday evening as well.

On my recent break in the wonderful Peak District specifically searching for old Memento Mori headstones, me and Mark visited St Peter's Church, Edensor and found one of the most striking memorial tombs that I've ever seen. The photographs below are key elements of the memorial tomb that I found fascinating, but overall, it is worth seeing as you will find it spectacular. The effigies are flanked by Gods.
Click here to find out more about 'Memento Mori' photography.
Bess of Hardwick was responsible for the creation of this magnificent memorial tomb dedicated to her two sons Henry and William Cavendish.
Henry Cavendish who died in 1616 is depicted as a skeleton lying on a soldiers straw mat. Alongside him lies his brother, the 1st Earl of Devonshire shown in a shroud with his face revealed.
On the side of the tomb, you will find the Goddess of Wisdom bearing the head of Medusa. I couldn't get close enough to take a face on photograph and this alone was my favourite feature of the tomb.

Did you know that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services maintains a website that is designed to help families find the best and closest nursing home and senior care facilities?
The site has a five star rating system to indicate quality.
The rankings range from much below average to much above average.
A study people who placed a relative or friend in a nursing home in the previous six months found that few people were aware of the Nursing Home Compare website, published online by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to help families find the best and closest available care facility.
The study published in the April issue of the journal Health Affairs showed that those who viewed the website often did not trust it, at least initially.
Many were interested in questions that the website did not answer, such as how to find a nursing home that was affordable, offered multiple activities for residents and had beds available for people who rely on Medicaid.
"This website could become a handy, useful tool, offering consumers a starting point to select high-quality providers," said study author Tamara Konetzka, PhD, professor of public health sciences at the University of Chicago. "But before people can turn to it, they need to know it is available.
And before they trust it, they need to see clearly where the data come from.
CMS launched the five-star version of the website - Nursing Home Compare (NHC) - to help families find the best available nursing home.
The five-star ratings allow consumers to compare nursing homes considering multiple attributes all at the same time.
and a cluster of clinical quality measures.
They combine the data to produce an overall rating.
Despite enthusiasm by many when shown the Nursing Home Compare example, many of the 63 study subjects were "skeptical about the source and accuracy of the data and thought that the nursing homes themselves might have control over the site," the authors wrote.
The skeptics were not far off.
The inspection ratings are based on surveyor reports. "Those are considered to be more objective," Konetzka said.
But the staffing data and the quality measures are based on self-reported data supplied by nursing home managers. There is more skepticism about these measures.
Beware. A quick survey shows many nursing homes with an overall one-star inspection rating are rated as four or five stars for clinical quality, based on their self-reported data.
To counter balance this discrepancy, the system gives much greater weight to inspection ratings, Konetzka points out, so overall ratings tend to mirror the inspection rating.
CMS is beginning to collect payroll data which should increase the accuracy of staffing ratings starting in the second half of 2016.
A lot has changed since the five-star system was introduced online more than seven years ago, the authors note.
The study also found greater emphasis on costs and on how to gain access to high-quality nursing homes for those dependent on Medicaid, who make up 60 percent of nursing home residents.
The site might help consumers distinguish between verified data and corporate boasting.
The study authors urge CMS to highlight their role in collecting the data for Nursing Home Compare and to make it clear that federal regulators, and not the nursing homes, maintain the website and, increasingly, collect the data.
CMS could also improve the website's appeal, they suggest, by adding more information about costs.
The authors also encourage families to find a nursing home that meets their loved one's particular needs and to visit several nursing homes to see how they treat residents. One nursing home resident they surveyed recommended surprise visits.
"The five-star system is one-size-fits-all. It doesn't distinguish between particular types of needs, such as dementia or cancer," Konetzka said.
The Alzheimer's Reading Room contains more than 5,000 articles and has been published since July, 2009.


LinkedIn is an extraordinary channel for private branding and also can allow you to produce a skilled existence on the most popular social media network with greater than 377 million experts.

The problem numerous people confront is that they just move their resume or throw something together. Which implies the profile is unimpressive or unfocused.
You have the amazing position of standing where you are today, viewing just how you arrived and concentrating on where you are going. You obtain the chance making your tale.

It may be predictable and time-worn – yet the reality of the matter is key words as well as the succeeding find ability is exactly what influencing the Internet globe to go round. Consider what somebody may kind right into Google if they were hunting down someone like you.
Assume verb, point, equal word, as well as phrase. Exactly what is your organisation name? These are keywords to make use of in your profile.
You require a lift pitch or speech, and also you have to add it to LinkedIn. A "lift speech" is that extremely brief speech you would supply (pitch) to an official amidst the flight approximately his workplace or down to her vehicle.

Essentially, you have no opportunity to squander and also should strike all the stimulating focuses. You need to do furthermore with your LinkedIn brand name. In case someone messages you or you have to chat with them regarding your brand, have a suitable lift speech prepared. On the occasion that it is in on the internet message frame, you could make use of a one area pitch. Maintain it short, simple and straight to the point. Your pitch is simply equivalent to the weakest connection.

"Thank you very much for the Woman of Hope program. I just listened to it, and it helped me so much. I wanted to kill my children and myself so that we could have peace in heaven. I attempted to do it last Friday, but failed. I was diagnosed as HIV-positive and am five months pregnant. I was abandoned by my husband two months ago. My children will not go to school this year. I can't find a job because of my pregnancy. My father died 10 months ago; my mother is very sick. I can't buy food for my children. I always pray, but my soul is contrite. Help me! Thank you." A testimony of praise from a woman in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.
Women across the continent of Africa face unimaginable horrors from wars that never seem to end; natural disasters that steal their families and homes; diseases that ravage their bodies; poverty and illiteracy that leave them struggling to merely survive. And worse, many are trapped in the silence of their pain with no one to speak on their behalf or listen to their voices in need.
To reach these women, TWR created Women of Hope, a ministry of compassion, encouragement and hope to women worldwide.
TWR Africa is airing the Women of Hope radio program in 12 languages, with several additional languages in the development stage, giving listeners spiritual insight, practical advice for themselves and their families, and a global perspective on the needs of women. TWR Women of Hope also gathers thousands of men and women across Africa together in a global prayer movement, uplifting the plight of women before the Lord.
A gift to TWR Women of Hope Africa will assist workers in providing materials and training, producing radio programs and meeting the dire needs of women across the African continent.

« Class 1A State Cross Country... ELC runners ready to run at...»
Class 2A State Cross Country That's a wrap for 2017
David Swartz - Managing Editor (dswartz@esthervillenews.net) , Estherville News
By David Swartz
FORT DODGE - Estherville Lincoln Central's two sophomore cross-country runners-Taylor Myers and Riley Christoffer-wrapped up their respective season at the 2017 Class 2A State Cross Country Meet on Saturday.
The day includes eight races in four classes with girls and boys running in Class 1A to Class 4A.
Myers places 24th
ELC's Taylor Myers finished the day with a 24th-place finish in the boys race with a time of 17 minutes, 12 seconds. Myers had placed 43rd a year ago.
"Taylor went out hard and was in the top 20 as he rounded the first curve," said ELC coach Connie Humble. "He moved as high as 12th at one point in the meet. He ran smart and positioned himself for a strong finish. He was spent after the race and gave his all as had nothing left at the end. Taylor has really set goals and worked hard to accomplish them while also encouraging his teammates. "
The Class 2A race featured the fastest time of the day on the 5K course. George-Little Rock/Central Lyon's Gable Sieperda finished the event in 15:18.6.
Christoffer places 136tth
In the girls' 2A race, Riley Christoffer placed 136th in a time of 26:17.
"Riley had a great start and was in the top 20 before the first curve," said coach Humble. "She could not maintain as her injury (tendinitis) affected her ability to keep that pace after the first 3/4 mile. Riley continued to show perseverance as she even passed a girl after the two-mile mark when she was visibly hurting only to get passed by her on the last stretch. I am very proud of Riley as she showed grit finishing the race while hurt. If she had been able to run her time from regionals of 21:22 she would have placed 58th. This state experience will help her when she returns next year to run."
Both runners have coach Humble, who completed her first season as head coach, looking ahead to next season.
"I am looking forward to the 2018 XC season as both our state qualifiers are only sophomores," Humble said. "We'd like to build on their state experience and add some of their teammates to run at state next year."

The Allentown Arts Commission yesterday recommended 1988 city funding totaling $101,326 for 14 arts-related organizations, several receiving grants for the first time.
The total recommended allocation is not comparable, however, to that of prior years because two of the major recipients, the Pennsylvania Stage Company and the Art Museum, were taken out of the commission's review process by Mayor Joseph S. Daddona.
Daddona, saying he was abiding by the wishes of City Council to provide a good funding base for the two organizations, said he considered the two groups economic strong points for the city and thus they "will be handled as economic development decisions."
"They will be separate line items in the budget," Daddona said.
The Stage Company is being recommended for a city grant of $50,000, while a $100,000 grant is being recommended for the Art Museum.
Daddona assured the commission that the decision to provide otherfunding sources for the two groups "will not mean there will be a cut in funds available for the general arts budget (contained within the general fund's civic contributions section)."
The largest allocation recommended by the commission, based on a review of all funding requests by its Budget Review Subcommittee, will be $30,000 for Mayfair 1988, which will be expanded to five days of activities during the Memorial Day weekend.
Karl Kercher, executive assistant to the mayor, noted that the modest decline in funding for Mayfair - $1,000 less than the $31,000 provided from three sources this past year - "should pose no problem. Mayfair has one year behind them and should be able to get more funds from the private sector."
A $12,000 allocation was recommended for the Baum School, a new agency applying for a share of city funds.
The Community Music School and Allentown Symphony Hall both were recommended for grants of $10,000.
On recommendation of the mayor, the commission increased the subcommittee's suggestion of a $2,500 grant for the Municipal Opera Company to $5,000. The mayor and the commission indicated the increase was justified because Munopco "had a devastating year with two shows resulting in heavy losses because they simply didn't sell."
Grants of $6,000 were recommended for Muhlenberg College, Pennsylvania Sinfonia and Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra.
The Allentown Band received a recommendation for its first grant from city funds, a $3,500 allocation. The subcommittee made the recommendation amid a feeling the band "has done its part to put Allentown on the map."
Other allocations recommended were $3,226 for the Open Space Gallery; $3,800 for Touchstone Theater; $1,000 for Improvco, another first-time agency for city funding; $3,000for Civic Little Theater, and $1,800 for the Camerata Singers.
The commission accepted the subcommittee's recommendation not to accept funding requests of $3,000 for the Lehigh Art Alliance; $750 for Lehigh Valley Guitar; $1,000 for Episcopal House, and $855 for Cedar Crest College.
In the case of the alliance, Adeline S. Hassel, subcommittee chairman, said it was felt the organization has not spent the $1,500 allocation approved for 1986 and should make use of that amount first.
The other requesting agencies rejected "did not meet city funding criteria," according to Hassel.
But there was not total agreement on the rejection of the funds sought by Episcopal House for the purchase of art supplies for senior citizens. James Musselman, while ultimately approving the spending and rejection recommendations, said he felt the money would be well spent in support of leisure time activities for seniors.
But other commission members felt the supplies being sought could be obtained through the private sector or a donation of a benefactor.
They also felt funding approval for such a program in one instance would open the door for countless other senior citizen groups to flood the city with similar funding requests.
In a final matter during yesterday's special meeting, Daddona asked what has become of the "Penny for the Arts" legislation, a bill that would require developers to set aside a percentage of development expenditures for the purchase of artworks.

I have found that life can be very difficult but if you are able to share it with someone who gives unconditional love and is just happy you love them back then you can be very happy no matter what is happening in your life.
I have found my comfort in a wonderful, furry friend, my little cat Joe. He is so important to my life I wanted to share our story with you. For anyone who has a pet you know how comforting and rewarding it can be to share your life with someone that doesn't judge you or gives you sadness but only brings a smile to your face.
In 2014 my friend knew Christmas was coming and that I wanted something special for Christmas. I told him I wanted a cat for a pet. He was not happy about my request. He said they take a lot of care and need to be cleaned up after and need to go to the Vet. But, I kept telling him I really wanted a pet. I was going to be alone for Christmas and I knew I would be lonely. Finally, he agreed to take me to the mall in Jakarta that had a lot of pet shops. Oh my, so many stores and so many dogs and cats for sale. It was so much fun going to each store and looking at the babies. All were so cute. Last we went to a store and in the middle of the room was a cage with 7 or 8 little kittens, all brothers and sisters I'm sure. They were yellow and white mixed colors except one and he was Greydark. All were resting but Greydark was jumping up and down when we approached the cage. He was very active and seemed very happy to see us and I felt he was trying to say 'look at me please, look at me. Pick me, pick me'. We looked around the store but every time we came by the cage the little kitten would jump around to get our attention. I asked the store clerk to take him out and when he was on the floor he ran all over the place. He was so happy. I knew then I had to have this kitten. We bought him and many, many supplies you need for a pet and off to his new home we went.
He needed a name and since Bapak Joe bought him as my Christmas present I decided to name him 'Little Joe'. I was so excited to welcome him into my life. But, he is still a baby. The store clerk said he was about 3-months old maybe, so he was very tiny and lots of energy.
When we got home he was very nervous because he had always been in a cage and he didn't know where he was, and everything was new to him. He sniffed everywhere and looked everywhere. I gave him a bath and he hate the water and was very unhappy and wet, but he was clean. One thing I know is if a baby cat is taken away from his mother too soon he doesn't get to nurse with her enough. Little Joe was like that. He would lay in the bed with me and try to nurse on my arm. It was so funny. He thought I was his Mom and he would push his little feet against my arm while he was trying to nurse. It was so cute. I was told this only lasts for maybe a month but oh my, Joe did that for almost 1-year. He was my little baby. He would sleep with me and if I would take a nap in the afternoon he would crawl up on the bed and sleep with me. He just wanted to be with me all the time.
But since he's a boy he like to play fight too with Mom. We had so much fun fighting together. I would fight with him and then go hide and he would come slowly searching for me to fight more. And, he like to play with toys. I bought many toys for Joe Joe but he liked mostly for me to just wad up some paper and he would chase it for a long time. And he loved to play with straws. He would chase the paper and the straws all over the apartment. Little kittens are so much fun to watch when they are playing and then all of a sudden, they get tired and find a place to take a nap or come to Mommy for a nap. It was so much fun when Joe was a baby.
And I like to give Joe baths, but cats don't like water. Every time I take him to the shower he would yell and yell and become very angry with me. And after the bath I would dry him very good and he would smell nice, but he was still mad at me.
Also, little Joe didn't like to go to the Vet. I would take him for his shots or when he got sick, but he was always very nervous and very sad to see the doctor. One time he was sick, and I had to give him medicine and he hate it. It was very difficult to get him to swallow his medicine. I got a little bottle with an eye dropper for the medicine and that helped and sometimes I would feed him with the eye dropper and he loved it. He was just like a real baby with a bottle.
Every year I have a nice birthday party for little Joe. He gets toys and special candy and his favorite…catnip. When he was a baby I gave him catnip and he didn't know what it was and didn't like it but when he was about 1 year old I tried again and, oh my, he went crazy for it. He rolled in it and got it all over his body and he always wanted more. Now, catnip is his favorite treat and he wants it all the time.
My mother came to stay with me and she really likes Joe and he likes her so much. They are together all the time and she takes him for walks and they play and sleep together when I am not home. Joe is very funny when my Mother or I take him for a walk. We put a body lease on him like he is a dog and he likes it. He is a normal boy cat because he always wants to go out and play but he can only go if he wears the lease. So, when he sees the lease he is just like a dog and goes crazy to go for a walk. He is scared of people though and one time we went for a walk and there was a lot of people. Joe got scared and ran to me and crawled up my leg and I had to pick him up and he hugged my neck so tight. It was very funny.
Joe is almost 4 years old now and full grown, but he will always be my baby Joe. He has brought so much happiness to my life and I love him like a child.
There are many challenges in life and you cannot always depend on or expect other people to make your life happy. I have found people even friends can disappoint you and let you down. You have to be able to take care of yourself and give yourself encouragement to keep going when life gives you challenges and trouble. It is comforting however to have a pet that will always love you regardless of what is happening to you. A pet can cheer you up when you are depressed, they can make you laugh when you are sad, and they can make you forget the problems life is throwing at you just by being by your side and not judging you or criticizing you. They just love you for who you are, and my Joe is exactly like that. He brings joy and happiness to me.

Three are better than one
Trimarans are interesting multihuls, rather than twin hulls I tend to think of tri's as a fast lightweith hull form with a stablising outrigger instead of a keel, only one of the outside floats should be in contact with the water depending on which tack the boat is on.
This is a home designed and built tri from Netley Cliff Sailing club, pictures kindly provided by Greg.
Greg explains
"Update on the mystery trimaran at ncsc….. I met the owner /builder yesterday busy fettling his machine..a really nice guy and a naval architect. He has apparently built numerous experimental boats and is bubbling with ideas…this one he created after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and is set up to cope with the problems he now has in sailing.
He reckons that although the waterline length is only 8 ft it keeps up with 14ft dinghies. Obviously a speed freak ,he told me that he designed, built and sailed numerous world sailing speed record boats (including Jacob's Ladder with a friend of mine) and that his last record was still unbroken at 60+Knots! If only every strange looking boat had a tale to tell like that"
I have a feeling that I've met the owner and builder many years ago when he and his wife owned a Nigel Irens designed Roxanne on which we sailed as crew in an Olf Gaffers race, and did quite well as I recall.

Join Caroline for an in-depth opportunity to explore techniques for capturing natural colours on cloth, combining leaf printing with natural dyes for exciting results.
Caroline's work focuses on sustainability, often using locally sourced, second-hand and upcycled fabrics. She is inspired by the natural world, and where possible uses natural dyes, mordents and mark making materials.
 Caroline studied Stitched Textiles at Eastleigh College and is a licentiate member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen.
Eco Printing is an endlessly fascinating process where leaves and other plant material are wrapped in fabric then combined with heat and moisture to produce wonderful marks and prints.
Day 1 will focus on different methods of bundling, the use of mordants and establishing which leaves work best in this environment at this particular time.
On day 2 we will start to look at more advanced techniques, and begin prepping fabrics and leaves for day 3. Then on day 3 we will focus on the amazing results that can be achieved when you combine leaf prints with natural dyes.
You will leave with enough knowledge about a wide variety of processes to continue at home with confidence, plus an exciting pile of fabric samples, larger pieces and matching threads. You will also have the opportunity to print a silk scarf using your favourite method from the three days.
Scrumptious biscuits with your morning coffee, a light seasonal lunch and a 'naughty, but nice' cake with a pot of afternoon tea. All this and a day being creative in the company of like minded people, what's not to like?
Cost: £300, a £100 deposit will secure your place.

1. Inedible crafting--salt dough ornaments replace sugar; gingerbread houses decorated with birdseeds instead of candies.
2. Heavenly scents--simmering cloves, cinnamon, ginger and orange peels on the stovetop for holiday smells without calories. For some reason the spicy smells do not make me hungry.
3. Drinking my sweets--sipping holiday flavored teas and diet spiced cider, instead of being tempted by high calorie beverages. I have a small holly-berry teapot perfect for the season.
4. Armor-clad gifts--all our baked gifts will be in the form of whole pies and cakes. It's much easier to sneak a cookie (or six) from a heaping platter than it is to cut a slice out of someone else's pie.
5. Accessible outerwear--my coat, hat, and gloves are pinned together and hung by the door with my son's coat, hat, and gloves. Knowing it won't take long to bundle up for a walk eliminates one of my excuses.
Do you have any strategies for eating reasonably during the holidays? If so, I'd love to hear them. The scale at my doctor's office is waiting for me January 3rd!
Can you elaborate on the heavenly scents ... it sounds delicious but how much do I simmer of what in how much water ... or is it kind of like a mix and match type thing???
Since I've been so sick with this pregnancy (and the two before it) and since I am just now back up to my prepregnancy weight - doctor's given me permission to eat anything I want except sugar (I have a gestational diabetes type problem). It's killing me! I probably ate half a turkey over Thanksgiving, but what I wanted was a big ole slab of pecan pie!


quantitative results. We found that process management and pre-implementation change management positively impact EMR use, and that EMR use positively impacts clinician related performance. Post-implementation change management was found to have a negative effect on EMR use. Finally, we found that process management had a direct positive effect on patient-related performance and EMR use had an indirect positive effect on patient-related performance, mediated by clinician-related performance.

Q: How to display in landscape mode in portrait? I have a calculator screen in Iphone, when i launched it  displayed in portrait,but i want to display the calculator screen in landscape mode from portrait and also change the orientation, how?
I tried the source code:
      self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
      self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation((M_PI * (90) / 180.0));
      self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 480, 320);

It is used first time launched only landscape mode in portrait, but change the orientation not working, any one help me.

A: Try this:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO];
[[self view] setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320)];
[[self view] setCenter:CGPointMake(160, 240)];
[[self view] setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2)];

A:     - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
    {
        return YES
    }

Now make use of any one method for ur rotation
- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration;
- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation;
    Hope this help.

A: THE same question here
My sandbox app:
https://github.com/comonitos/programatical_device_orientation
The solution is easy:
in interface (h file) :
    BOOL rotated;

in implementation (m file):
1. rewrite
    -(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
    {
    return rotated;
    }

2 call [self setup]
    -(void) setup {
    rotated = YES;
    [[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
    rotated = NO;
    }

Q: How to execute an event in real time I'm trying to use qt to run a function in real-time, but qt works so that when you call a function, the answer comes only when the function is executed. How do I make it so that when you call a function and an event occurs in it, I can stop and wait for some event before moving on.
P / s I'm really sorry for my English. I hope you understand me.

A: Functions are, generally, and always in C/C++, atomic computational units. That is, once they are called, they can't be paused, however, you can pause threads of execution. So, a possible workaround to what you want could be to execute your function in its own thread and pause it, but once you pause it you can't resume it from the function since it's paused. You would need some sort of controller for pausing and resuming functions, you will inevitably end up coding a thread scheduler more or less like what operating systems have.
