Food and travel writer Michael Booth sets of to take the culinary pulse of contemporary Japan and he and his young family travel the length of the country - from bear-infested, beer-loving Hokkaido to snake-infested, seaweed-loving Okinawa.
What do the Japanese know about food? Perhaps more than anyone else on earth, judging by this fascinating and funny journey through an extraordinary food-obsessed country.

y the length of Japan to explore its dazzling food culture. They find a country much altered since their previous visit ten years earlier (which resulted in the award-winning international bestseller Sushi and Beyond).
Over the last decade the country's restaurants have won a record number of Michelin stars and its cuisine was awarded United Nations heritage status. The world's top chefs now flock to learn more about the extraordinary dedication of Japan's food artisans, while the country's fast foods – ramen, sushi and yakitori – have conquered the world. As well as the plaudits, Japan is also facing enormous challenges. Ironically, as Booth discovers, the future of Japan's culinary heritage is under threat.
Often venturing far off the beaten track, the author and his family discover intriguing future food trends and meet a fascinating cast of food heroes, from a couple lavishing love on rotten fish, to a chef who literally sacrificed a limb in pursuit of the ultimate bowl of ramen, and a farmer who has dedicated his life to growing the finest rice in the world… in the shadow of Fukushima. They dine in the greatest restaurant in the world, meet the world champion of cakes, and encounter wild bears. Booth is invited to judge the world sushi championship, 'enjoys' the most popular Japanese dish you have never heard of aboard a naval destroyer, and unearths the unlikely story of the Englishwoman who helped save the seaweed industry.
Sushi and Beyond was also a bestseller in Japanese where its success has had improbable consequences for Booth and his family. They now star in their own popular cartoon series produced by national broadcaster NHK.

The Boston school committee has voted to close the West Roxbury high school complex
Planning & Design>Facility Planning
Boston proposal calls for building or renovating a dozen schools
The plan also would gradually phase out middle schools and combine several elementary campuses.
Mike Kennedy | Oct 17, 2018
Boston school officials are planning to build or extensively renovate a dozen schools, gradually phase out middle schools, and merge several elementary schools over the next decade.
The Boston Globe reports that the proposal will be presented to the School Committee Wednesday night.
Related: Boston mayor proposes $1 billion building upgrade for city school system
The most immediate actions call for closing two high schools in June in the West Roxbury area — Urban Science Academy and West Roxbury Academy. Deteriorating building conditions almost prevented those campuses from opening last month, interim Superintendent Laura Perille says.
The proposal is part of Mayor Martin J. Walsh's four-year-old BuildBPS plan, which aims to spend $1 billion in city and state funding to overhaul the city's 125 schools.
Related: Boston district opens its first newly constructed school in 15 years
"What we are preparing to share on Wednesday night is the largest school building plan in 40 years in Boston," Perille says. "This will be new or expanded buildings in neighborhoods with high student need and low access."
The proposal comes 1½ years after a city commission review found that most of the system's 125 schools — two-thirds of which were built prior to World War II — were in need of significant repair or renovation.
The recommendation to close the two high schools has already created a stir at Urban Science Academy and West Roxbury Academy, which collectively educate about 750 students.
The McCormack Middle School, which serves roughly 400 students, also has been notified that it could close at the end of the next school year, representing the first in a wave of middle-school closings in the coming years.
The 12 new or renovated schools that are part of the proposal include two projects already underway — a new Boston Arts Academy and a third building for the Eliot K-8 School.
The proposal aims to go beyond just school building projects and attempts to address other educational issues, such as reducing the variety of grade spans across the system. Under the proposal, Boston would become a system predominantly of lower-grade schools that extend to grade 6 or 8 and secondary schools that begin at grade 7 or 9.
That move would cause an unspecified number of school consolidations. Many of Boston's elementary schools now end at grade 5, and a number of them don't have space to add sixth grade.
School officials hope this will be the beginning of a school construction boom, which Boston has not experienced since the 1970s. The first BuildBPS building actually opened in September: the Dearborn STEM Academy; the development of that campus began about a decade ago.

Weeklong events celebrate dark skies, battle against light pollution
Starry Skies North sees increased interest in night sky watching with aurora outbreaks.
The ability to predict aurora borealis outbreaks has increased interest in night sky watching and in dark sky advocacy, according to members of Starry Skies North, the Minnesota Chapter of the International Dark Sky Association.
Bob King / 2016 file / Duluth News Tribune
DULUTH — When the aurora borealis erupted across the Northland sky the nights of Sept. 2 and 3, social media platforms exploded with photos from just about every Tom, Dick and Harriet who was outdoors and facing north.
And that brought a smile to Bob Foucault's face.
Foucault is vice president of Starry Skies North, the Minnesota chapter of the International Dark Sky Association, a global group dedicated to reducing light pollution and improving dark-sky vistas. And he's happy that more people are looking up at night. The improving ability of astronomers to predict aurora forecasts, coupled with social media blasts, are increasing public awareness and interest in night skies.
KEEP TRACK OF THE NIGHT SKY WITH ASTRO BOB
"All those photos of the aurora really showed how many people are getting interested in night skies. More people are paying attention, and social media is really helping with that," Foucault said.
Starry Skies North formed a few years when dark sky advocates in the Twin Ports and the Twin Cities decided to join forces in the long but often little-known battle to reduce light pollution locally, regionally and globally.
The Milky Way and three bright stars of the Summer Triangle stand under dark, light-pollution-free skies well north of Duluth. Within and near the city, lights can make it difficult to see the stars well, and that's why the group Starry Skies North is trying to raise awareness of the importance of dark skies and taming light pollution.
Imagine not being able to see the Big Dipper, or the Milky Way or shooting stars, or the aurora — all part of the outdoor experiences many Northlanders take for granted. But that's the plight of an increasing number of people who live in urban areas, even in the core of Duluth.
"Dark skies are an important part of life, for people and for animals. It's a quality of life issue," said Foucault, a now mostly retired video producer who lives on Caribou Lake just outside Duluth.
Starry Skies North is set to hold a week-long celebration of dark skies — Celebrate the Night Sky Week — with several free events, all aimed at drawing attention to the goal of darker skies in more places.
PREVIOUSLY: Boundary Waters becomes Minnesota's first 'Dark Sky Sanctuary'
Voyageurs National Park could be next for dark sky certfication.
Starry Skies North has about 250 people on its mailing list — most in Duluth, Minneapolis and Grand Marais, Foucault said. The group originally formed as Starry Skies Lake Superior in 2012 and successfully lobbied the city of Duluth to alter the color and shading styles for outdoor street lighting in 2015, the first big public project in the area.
"We can always use new people to help," he noted, adding that the Minnesota group is helping form other Dark Sky chapters in Wisconsin, Michigan and North Dakota.
PREVIOUSLY: Voyageurs Park gets official 'dark-sky' certification
The national park and the Boundary Waters are the only Minnesota locations with this certification.
Foucault said light pollution may not be as well chronicled as air or water pollution but may be much easier to solve. Simply turning off a switch, or switching out the type of light bulb used, can help solve the problem. The goal is softer, warmer, often more yellow lighting and avoiding harsh white or blue, Foucault said.
"The goal is to get warmer lighting that's focused where it's needed" on the road, sidewalk or parking lot, and not into the sky, Foucault noted. "It's a pretty simple fix: Put light where you need it when you need it."
What's a dark sky?
In the global effort to reduce light pollution, the term dark sky describes a sky that isn't "lit" by sky glow or light pollution. What's light pollution? Imagine using a lamp indoors without a lampshade. That's what's happening with a lot of outdoor lighting.
Supporters say improving and preserving the Northland's dark sky vistas will not only improve the quality of life for residents but will encourage "astro tourism" as more people seek to escape big urban areas so they can see a clear night sky. Light pollution from large urban areas like the Twin Cities and Chicago spread "sky glow" for hundreds of miles. People in those areas currently need to travel to experience the beauty of night skies.
While lights are critical to night safety, both driving and walking, more light isn't necessarily safer. Reducing glare, avoiding loss of low-light vision and maintaining contrasts are all essential to maintaining safe driving and walking conditions while reducing light pollution.
Adopting smart lighting systems that adjust to traffic patterns could save billions of dollars annually across the U.S., dark-sky advocates note, because more than 80% of the light now being cast outdoors in the country is shining off into space, wasted light that's wasting electricity and contributing to climate change.

Corruption of power in NEHU: College bar association
By By Our Reporter	 On Nov 29, 2016
Delay in publication of results by University
SHILLONG: Irked at NEHU's silence over its bias attitude as alleged by Students' Bar Association of Shillong Law College, president, Peter Aiborlang Dohkrut, has criticised the 'corruption of power' prevailing in NEHU.
"It is corruption of power, as they don't care to listen to us, they should have called us. They manipulated things as they are unwilling to give an answer. They have violated our rights declaring results after 5-6 months. There is inconsistency in awarding of marks by the teachers and disparity in the internal assessment," he informed reporters on Monday.
Alleging that some persons are threatening to file an appeal against him, he said, "Two persons who claimed to be members of some union from NEHU started asking us the reason for entering NEHU campus without permission. We suspect that they are sent by the authority to follow us."
"They have threatened me over the phone and said that they will file an appeal against me, I am only waiting for their appeal as to see what I have violated. There is no act or rule that will prevent us from entering NEHU as it is a public place, we did not go there to agitate but to demand our rights," Dohkrut added and also threatened to take further take actions.
It may be mentioned that the students' association have voiced dismay over the untimely and improper evaluation of papers and delay in publication of results, non- introduction of internal assessment similar to NEHU as the NEHU students have the privilege of getting 40 per cent internal assessment marks whereas Shillong Law College does not have as such.
In this connection, the Students' Bar Association of Shillong Law College on November 10 has given 15 days time to the Controller, NEHU to rectify the problems and to give the students an assurance. He, howver, expressed concern that NEHU has passed the deadline without giving any reply to the students.
Lashing out at the administrative block staff of NEHU for wrongly fixing examination dates, he said, "They don't have competency to work. In the last semester, they have fixed examination dates on national and state holiday. They again shifted these examinations continuously on 26, 27 28. Some students are finding it tough. NEHU should take the matter seriously. " he stated.

Some points concerning Rebels and Omaha
Last year, Mississippi State's Hunter Renfroe won the C Spire Ferriss Trophy, and then the Bulldogs won an NCAA Regional, a Super Regional and made it all the way to the finals of the College World Series.
This year, Auston Bousfield of Ole Miss won the C Spire Ferriss Trophy, and then the Rebels won a Regional and a Super Regional and are headed to Omaha and the College World Series.
Seems we have a nice trend developing here.
Or maybe it's just coincidence.
Regardless, today there are some points I would like to make.
• First off, congratulations to Mike Bianco, the Ole Miss coach whose 14th season with the Rebels will wind up in Omaha. The guy has won 555 games at Ole Miss, an average of right at 40 games a season. He has recruited well, coached well and always done it with class.
Frankly Bianco has had more talented teams than this one that didn't make it to Omaha. I thought his 2005 team, which lost a scintillating Super Regional to Texas, was the best team in the country. Those Rebels just ran into a red-hot Texas team at the wrong time. As we know, the best team in baseball does not always win.
The Rebels also lost to Miami in 2006, Arizona State in '07 and Virginia in '09. The loss to Virginia was particularly galling. The Rebels won Game One, appeared to have Game Two in hand, let it slip away and then lost Game Three 5-1.
But here's the point: Each time, and several others, Bianco handled crushing defeat with grace and dignity. He has endured barbs about Omaha from rivals, the media and even from his own fans. He earned last night and this trip to Omaha. Good for him.
• Point two: This Ole Miss team is good enough to win it all. They are balanced up and down the lineup. The pitching staff is deep. They can throw it, catch it and they can really, really run, which is especially important in the new and vast CWS ballpark.
Such balance! As I wrote at the time, Bousfield won the C Spire Ferriss Trophy, but several Rebels were legitimate contenders. Finalist Chris Ellis could have won it. Austin Anderson could have won it. Christian Trent could have won it. Will Allen could have won it. And there were more. This team has so much balance.
• Point three: It really is amazing that Mississippi SEC teams have advanced to the CWS in successive years because they recruit at such a disadvantage against so many of their opponents. What I mean is this: Many baseball programs take advantage of so-called Hope scholarships, which are state-funded and allow schools to recruit baseball players far above the 11.7 NCAA limit of baseball scholarships. Mississippi has no such Hope scholarship.
Now then, back to Bianco. His overall coaching record, including three seasons at McNeese State, is 655-391-1. His teams have won three SEC West championships, one overall SEC title, one SEC Tournament and have been to 12 NCAA Regionals and five Super Regionals.
It's an amazing record, which will now have an exclamation point at the end: Omaha!

Microsoft game 'Tell Me Why' makes history with transgender lead character
Tyler Ronan will be the first playable transgender protagonist in a major studio game
By Rhuaridh Marr on November 22, 2019	@rhuaridh
Tyler in Tell Me Why
Microsoft has announced an upcoming game that will feature the first playable transgender protagonist in a major studio title.
Tell Me Why, from Life Is Strange developer DONTNOD Entertainment, was unveiled at Microsoft's X019 event in London last week.
Set to debut on Xbox and Windows 10 next summer, Tell Me Why is a mystery game set in a small town in Alaska. Players take control of twins Tyler and Alyson Ronan, who reunite after 10 years apart and have developed the ability to share thoughts and memories with one another. Over three chapters, players will use their combined powers to explore a mystery from the Ronans' childhood.
"The core mechanic of the game is the special bond Tyler and Alyson share and is also a theme strongly anchored into the DONTNOD storytelling approach," Tell Me Why director Florent Guillaume said in a press statement.
"Over the course of the story, players will explore the identical twins' different memories of key events and choose which memory to believe. Ultimately, the choices players make determine the strength of the twins' bond — and the future course of their lives."
Tell Me Why also represents a major breakthrough for inclusivity in gaming with the announcement that Tyler is a transgender male.
Mashable reports that Microsoft partnered with LGBTQ media advocacy organization GLAAD to ensure that Tyler's playable experience was authentic to transgender people.
"Microsoft and DONTNOD have approached Tyler with a real commitment to authenticity," Nick Adams, GLAAD's director of transgender representation, said in a statement. "Tyler is a fully-realized, endearing character, whose story is not reduced to simplistic trans tropes."
Adams continued: "Creating a playable lead trans character — and taking such care to get it right — raises the bar for future LGBTQ inclusion in gaming."
Joseph Staten, senior creative director at Xbox, told the Hollywood Reporter that GLAAD's participation helped give the company "a history lesson, not just in games, but in media as well — the good and the bad."
"It's been really important for everyone on the project to understand the history of LGBTQ representation and transgender representation in games to make sure we did our best to get it right," Staten said.
He noted that the studio has cast a transgender actor, August Black, to voice Tyler, and is "working hard to find people in the localized languages as well and make sure we have a strong, representative performance no matter where in the world you might play the game."
Speaking to Mashable, Aaron Greenberg, general manager of Xbox Games Marketing said that DONTNOD was creating something "uniquely special."
"I think in today's day and age, it's great that we can bring that to market in a really thoughtful and inclusive way," Greenberg said, saying the studio and Microsoft had a responsibility to "try to do it right."
"I think we have a sense of team pride about it, because it's so unique," Greenberg said, adding, "Hopefully, fans and the transgender community and the LBGTQ community will respond positively to it as well."
Tyler and Alyson in Tell Me Why
A number of games already feature transgender characters, such as Krem in 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition or Birdo in 1988's Super Mario Bros. 2 (arguable the first instance of a trans character in gaming). However, such characters are often relegated to supporting roles or are minor characters.
Gamers generally have had to seek out indie games for fuller trans representation, such as Dys4ia's abstract recounting of a transgender woman's experience with gender dysphoria and hormone replacement therapy, or adventure game 2064: Read Only Memories' numerous LGBTQ characters, or visual novel one night, hot springs, about a young, transgender Japanese woman's experience at a hot spring with female-only spaces.
Tell Me Why will be available on Xbox One, Windows 10 PCs, Xbox Game Pass, and Steam in summer 2020. Each of the three chapters will be released separately and consecutively.

Q: DOJO 1.9. FilteringSelect ComboBox scroll to last selected item on show [IE] How to make dropdown scroll to the last selected option after dropdown is re-opened?
Calling filtering_select_ref.dropdown.set('selected', selected_node_ref) or filtering_select_ref.set('scrollOnFocus', true) did not work for me on IE 11.

A: If you just need to scroll to the option, you could use win.scrollIntoView(node_ref) from "dojo/window" module as shown in the docs and pass the id or the node reference to the option as an argument.
You may also find these methods interesting to help solve your problem:
filtering_select_ref.openDropDown()
var dropdown = filtering_select_ref.dropdown;
dropdown.selectFirstNode()
dropdown.selectNextNode()
dropdown.selectPreviousNode()
dropdown.selectLastNode()

A: @Carlos Nantes suggested good options however I was aware of them and my problem with them was that I could not "catch" the moment when dropdown got opened.
I finally found a way to "catch" that moment with filtering_select_ref.watch('_opened', function()...

VENDREDI 22 MAI 2020 BIZWEEK ÉDITION 291 Through the centuries, the decennial count progressed from in-person collections of handwritten answers to mass mailings of paper questionnaires in 1970. Among other changes along the way : creation of an electrical punch card tabulator for the 1890 Census and the first use by a government agency of the world's first modern computer – IBM's UNIVAC 1 – for the 1950 Census. The Census Bureau has been a leader in using, adapting and developing new technologies but the 2020 Census will be the most sophisticated and high tech yet. America Counts spoke with Robert Colosi, a mathematical statistician in the Census Bureau's Decennial Statistics Studies Division, about ways technology is revolutionizing the census. He shared four specific changes that have had a major impact on how the Census Bureau counts everyone once, only once, and in the right place. Innovation 1 : Using Satellite Imagery to Check Addresses Before the Census Bureau can count every person in the country, it must first collect addresses for every housing unit. One way the Census Bureau uses this address list is to mail census materials, including invitations to respond online, by phone or by mail. Census Bureau employees used to « canvass » neighborhoods in person, jotting down new addresses and correcting old ones on paper. This long-running operation, known as Address Canvassing, is one of the ways the Census Bureauupdates its Master Address File or MAF. The Census Bureau also works with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to confirmalready existing addresses on file. Address canvassing was costly and time-consuming. Employees traveled a total of 137 million miles toupdate the MAF before the 2010 Census. « The number of miles we traveled was astronomical, » Colosi said. « We're not going to do that for the 2020 Census. » In 2015, the Census Bureau began using aerial images from a network of satellites. The Census Bureau developed computer software that allows employees in offices to compare satellite images from 2010 to new ones taken in real time. This helps them identify new houses, apartment buildings and other units to verify in the traditional Address Canvassing operation. Thanks to the new In-Office Address Canvassing system, census workers reviewed 100% of alladdresses in the United States for the 2020 Census and validated 65% in the office, removing them from the in-field workload. That means workers needed to canvas fewer neighborhoods in person, saving time and money. Address listers or canvassers hit the streets in August 2019 and completed the operation two months later, on track for the 2020 Census. Innovation 2 : Introducing Online Self- Response The 2020 Census is the first time everyone has the option to respond to the census online as wellas by phone or mail. The Census Bureau has an Internet Self-Response tool designed to make it easy to complete the questionnaire online and keep responses secure. Directions for responding online will be included in letters, postcards and other mailings sent to most homes beginning in mid-March. Every response submitted on the internet is encrypted. That means data are changed into a code that only Census Bureau data analysts can read. Responses travel through a secure cloud computer network and the Census Bureau locks them in a « digital vault ». The Internet Self-Response instrument, the website for completing the census online, is available in English and 12 other languages. Census Bureau employees, called census response representatives willalso provide computers and tablets for access to the Internet Self-Response tool at places like libraries, community centers, health care centers and places of worship. This is particularly helpful in rural and other areas with limited or no internet access. Innovation 3 : Introducing Mobile Devices to Enumeration From collecting census responses and job applications to storing questionnaires, the ACTA PUBLICA UNITED STATES Four Ways New Technology is Revolutionizing the 2020 Census The census began in 1790 with collected information handwritten by U.S. Marshals visiting outposts in every corner of the new nation. Every decade since, the ways the U.S. Census Bureau has tried to meet its goal of counting every person living in the United States have undergone changes as dramatic as the growth of the nation itself Census Bureau has used millions of pieces of paper to gather and file information. Now it relies much more on technology – and much less on paper. In 2020, census takers who go door-to-door to help people respond will collect information on smartphones using a custom application created by the Census Bureau. « The Systems Engineering and Integration Team created 52 systems in our 'system of systems,' » Colosi said. « There's a whole group of systems related to that one contract of enumeration and operations control. All of it was built by Census Bureau staff and contractors. » To protect privacy, we encrypt all data and devices require two-factor authentication to be unlocked. When a device connects to the internet, encrypted data immediately transmits to the Census Bureau's digital vault – and is no longer on the device. Encrypted data are only stored on the devices until they connect to the internet. Software in the smartphones also provides specific routes for census takers to follow to visit homes. Optimizing routes in this way helps census takers do their jobs more efficiently. If a device is lost or stolen, the Census Bureau will remotely wipe it clean of allapplications and information. Innovation 4 : New Ways to Protect Data The Census Bureau is the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy in its many surveys and programs, including the 2020 Census. Opportunities to share and protect its data continue to grow with technology and innovation, particularly through data mashups. Data mashups are algorithms that combine different data sources to expand graphical understanding of the data but can also find the origin of a particular set of data. To protect against that, the Census Bureau has developed processes to protect its data from people who might try to make such mashups. Its Disclosure Avoidance System helps prevent improper disclosure of data. This addition is one of several advances the Census Bureau has made to safeguard an individual's data. « When we produced products in the old days, we didn't have super high-tech and savvy users, » Colosi said. « The idea of computing data mashups to try and combine different data sources to find individual responses was not common. Now it is. » All responses to the 2020 Census are confidential and protected by law. Title 13 of the Federal Code prohibits the Census Bureau from publishing or disclosing any private information, including names, addresses and telephone numbers. « Our cybersecurity meets the latest, highest standards for protecting your information, » Census Bureau Chief Information Officer Kevin Smith said. « We work with industry experts to continually review and refine our approach to make sure we are staying ahead of threats and ensuring quick response. From the moment we collect your responses, our goal — and legal obligation — is to keep them safe. » Census Bureau employees take an oath to keep your answers confidential. Violators faceup to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. [Source : United States Census Bureau - 19 May 2020] 4
VENDREDI 22 MAI 2020 BIZWEEK ÉDITION 291 The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System made public its 'Financial Stability Report'wherein the Federal Reserve Board provides a current assessment of the resilience of the United States'financial system. The course of the pandemic and the size and duration of the resulting economic fallout remain, according to the report, the most significant risks to the economy and financial system. The realization of these risks depends largely on the success of public health measures and other government actions to contain the spread of COVID-19. In addition, the steps households and businesses take to resume economic activity, supported by government efforts and policy actions, may ameliorate the most adverse potential outcomes. Other sets of risks are also inherent. The pandemic could persist for a prolonged period or re-emerge, further delaying the recovery of U.S. economic activity and leading to strains on the financial system that worsen the downturn... Most forecasters expect a sharp contraction in economic output in the United States, for at least the first half of 2020, and a global recession. The expected slowdown could affect the financial system by further weakening the balance sheets of businesses and households, especially those that are already vulnerable. Furthermore, monetary and fiscal policy tools have limited ability to moderate some dimensions of what is fundamentally a public health shock. If the outbreak persists or if there is a second wave of the pandemic, downward pressure on the U.S economy would be sustained, as businesses would remain shuttered and workers that have been laid off would be without normal income for a longer period. A number of the vulnerabilities identified in this report could grow, making them more likely to further amplify negative shocks to the economy. Investor risk appetite and asset prices have declined, as would be expected with such an extreme shock. With a protracted pandemic, risk aversion could increase further. Disturbances from COV- ID-19 have substantially weakened the outlook for profits of nonfinancial businesses. Given the generally high level of leverage in the nonfinancial business sector, financial stress and defaults could become more widespread in a more sustained economic downturn. In addition, a prolonged slowdown could further deteriorate the finances of even high-credit-score households, which could lead to defaults and place financial pressure on banks and other lenders. Broader solvency issues could impair the ability of some financial institutions to lend or induce more selling of assets and redemptions of withdrawable liabilities and financial institutions are at greater risk for adverse operational events in the meantime The pandemic has had significant effects on the operations of a variety of financial firms, leading to an increase in operational risk in the financial system. Financial institutions have been operating based on their business continuity plans while often intermediating very high transaction volumes. Banks'relative success thus far demonstrates the benefits of both having those plans and actively testing them. Nonetheless, banks have been following these plans for longer than anticipated and should continue developing new longer-termplans. Many operational challenges make it harder to operate efficiently or effectively. Absenteeism has increased because of ACTA PUBLICA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The Federal Reserve Board explains the near-termrisks to its financial system The following analysis of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States of America considers possible interactions of existing vulnerabilities with three broad categories of risk that were raised in discussions with domestic and international policy-makers, academics, community groups, and others : a prolonged slowdown in U.S economic growth, risksemanating from Europe, and risks originating in China and other Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) Monetary and fiscal policy tools have limited ability to moderate some dimensions of what is fundamentally a public health shock social distancing or illness and also because of competing responsibilities such as childcare. Some large banks have selectively closed branches or opted to alternate branch operating times. Smaller banks and those that operate in rural markets may have less flexibility and could be significantly impaired if a staff member were infected. Many financial infrastructures have switched to operating completely remotely at a time when transaction volumes have often been extremely high. During periods when financial institutions operate remotely or with limited staff, the possibility of operational miscues or other mistakes may increase. For example, remote arrangements have slowed decision-making or approval channels which can result in processing delays and create backlogs due to employees who experience difficulties with internet or other infrastructure issues at home. And financial firms are also more vulnerable to security risks, as more employees work from home. Stressesemanating from Europe pose risks to the United States because of strong transmission channels... European banks play an important role in global financial intermediation and have notable financial and economic linkages with the United States. Over the past few months, many countries in Europe forced nationwide lockdowns to mitigate COVID-19's spread ; many businesses were ordered to shut down, and residents were required to stay at home for prolonged periods, damping economic activity, which could lead to sizable loan losses in the banking system. In response to these developments, European governments have implemented fiscal policies that have resulted in increased government spending and tax relief. These fiscal policy actions will likely reduce financial stability risks, on balance, in the short run. However, further expansionary policies, possibly due to large-scale reinfections of COVID-19, could have the potential to result in a sizable increase in government debt and a further increase in sovereign risk in the long run. In Italy, for example, additional fiscal measures could have implications for the sustainability of Italian sovereign debt, which is already elevated as a share of output. If debt sustainability were to materially worsen in Italy and in other highly indebted countries, it also could stress European financial institutions and lead to political tensions within the euro area. Such a development could, in turn, affect the U.S economy and the financial system through dollar funding markets, credit exposures, a further deterioration in risk appetite, and trade channels. In addition to the COVID-19-related risks, a no-trade-deal Brexit still poses risks to the European and U.S financial systems. Although the United Kingdom formally left the European Union (EU) in January, it remains under the EU's trade rules until the end of this year. The failure to reach a final trade agreement could lead to supply chain disruptions in Europe and also could result in losses for European financial institutions. Accordingly, although financial institutions will have had ample time to prepare for Brexit, an unsuccessful trade agreement could lead to strains in global financial markets, resulting in a tightening of U.S financial conditionsand adverse developments in China and other emerging market economies with vulnerable financial systems and strained public finances could also spill over to the United States Because of the size of the economy, prolonged or recurrent periods of markedly depressed economic activity in China due to reinfections of COVID-19 could spill over to U.S and global markets through disruptions in supply chains, a further reduction of risk appetite, more U.S dollar appreciation, and additional declines in commodity prices. In China, the spread of the virus has slowed significantly and, therefore, restrictions on domestic travel and economic activity have in large part been lifted. That said, a sluggish recovery of Chinese domestic demand, a deeper slump in demand from abroad, or renewed efforts to curtail another virus outbreak could put additional pressure on Chinese firms, which are already highly indebted, and could put stress on the vulnerable financial sector. This situation could further strain global financial markets and disrupt regional value chains and exports to China, which could ultimately affect the U.S financial system. Broader stresses in EMEs, in which health-care systems, political institutions, and financial infrastructures are more fragile, could also have repercussions for the United States. In particular, Latin American economies, which have had persistent current account deficits, have already seen significant capital outflows due to a drop in global risk appetite. If the spread of COVID-19 is not mitigated in these countries and authorities find they have limited fiscal capacity to deal with the macroeconomic shock and the health crisis, further deterioration in credit risk or risk appetite could lead to balance of payment crises. For oil exporters, these dynamics could be exacerbated if oil prices remain depressed or fall even further because ofeither weak demand or a resumption of disputes within OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). Further dollar appreciation due to widespread stresses in EMEs could potentially put additional strains on U.S firms that rely on exports and supply chains for their business operations. Some U.S financial institutions may be directly affected by their exposures to these U.S firms, in addition to the stressed EME firms and sovereigns themselves. 5

The most common ocean disposal method is to thicken the waste to a sludge or solid and barge it to the point of disposal. When the waste is toxic, it is usually put in containers and dropped in more remote places. So-called approved areas exist on the East, Gulf, and Atlantic coasts for waste disposal.
Detailed oceanographic studies indicate that inversion areas, in the water above the outfalls, of piped sludge limit the spread of solids and coliform bacteria to the surface although evidence exists that some digested sludge travels as much as 6 miles.
Wastewater treatment facilities can also dispose sludge at sea through a pipeline either by diluting digested sludge with the treated effluent from the plant or reducing the solids content and allowing the solids to be diffused into the ocean with the sewage. The advantage of removing the solids and digesting them prior to disposal is that this treatment results in an 80% reduction of volatile solids and more than a 99% removal of coliform and pathogenic bacteria.
The disposal of sludge and other solid waste in the ocean is more prevalent in other countries than in the United States (particularly in the industrialized areas of Japan and Europe).
Abstracts appearing regularly in the Journal for Water Pollution Control Federation stress the need for stricter regulations for ocean dumping as well as pollution abatement on a world scale. A low-cost alternative to ocean disposal is the disposal of digested sludge on croplands.

Apple's legal battle with Samsung has spread to Japan, with the iPhone-maker suing Samsung for patent infringement.
Apple's legal fracas with Samsung has reached Japan, with the iPhone maker asking a Japanese court to ban a slew of Samsung gadgets.
The lawsuit was filed in the Tokyo District Court, and requests that Samsung's Galaxy S, Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 be banned from sale in Japan, according to Reuters, which cites "sources close to the matter".
The first hearing in the case apparently took place on Wednesday, and Apple is allegedly also seeking ¥100m (about £800,000) in damages, as well as the sales ban.
Anyone who's been following the legal grappling between these two companies will know this isn't the first time Apple has attacked Samsung. Last week Apple managed to get Samsung's brand-new Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet banned in Germany, where it was on show at the IFA tech conference.
Prior to that, Apple had managed to get the larger Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned across most of Europe -- now it's banned in Germany, while the hugely popular Galaxy S2 smart phone is banned across Europe.
Apple reckons Samsung's devices "slavishly" copy its own iPad and iPhone gadgetry, right down to the packaging the devices come in. Apple is also fighting a courtroom battle with HTC, with a US judge decreeing HTC is infringing upon Apple's patents.
Has this legal onslaught gone too far? Are we looking at a future where it's illegal for anyone other than Apple to put phones and tablets on sale? Let us know what you think in the comments section below, or on our Facebook wall.

The most interesting thing that if I put nonexistent e-mail as parameter userEmail there is no exception in method execute(), of course method getUser() returns null.
How to fix this code to get successfully user ID?
For me it looks like it's library's or server's problem, but I hope I'm just doing something wrong.
Please note: I already enrolled a customer successfully and did preparation according https://developers.google.com/play/enterprise/samples

A: It seems like you are invoking the users() method with authentication using MSA account. Try authentication using ESA account i.e. the enterprise id you are mentioning in the request. ( you need to have service account created for customer to be able to authenticate). Problem will get resolved.

validatorjs v1.0.1
==================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/skaterdav85/validatorjs.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/skaterdav85/validatorjs)

The validatorjs library makes data validation in JavaScript very easy in both the browser and server (Node.js). This library was inspired by the [Laravel framework's Validator class](http://laravel.com/docs/validation) so you will see a lot of similarities.

### 1.0.0 Changes

* In versions < 1.0.0, most validation rules had an implicit 'required' rule. For example, if I specified that a field had the 'email' validation flag, it would fail if an empty string was passed. This made it difficult to have optional fields with required formats. In v1.0.0, the validation rules do not have an implicit 'required'. If a field is undefined or an empty string, it will pass validation. If you want a validation to fail for undefined or '', use the _required_ rule.
* validation_instance.first() has been removed. Use validation_instance.errors.first() instead

### Browser Setup

1. Include __dist/validator.min.js__ script onto your page.
2. Invoke the Validator constructor function. See below for details on Validator parameters and validation rules.

### Node.js Setup

Install the Validator package from the NPM registry [https://npmjs.org/package/validatorjs](https://npmjs.org/package/validatorjs)

```
npm install validatorjs
```

```js
var Validator = require('validatorjs');
```

### Usage and Examples

```js
var validation = new Validator(data, rules [, customErrorMessages]);
```

__data__

Type: Object

An object that contains the data you want to validate

__rules__

Type: Object

An object that contains the validation rules

__customErrorMessages__

Type: Object

An optional object that can contain custom error messages to return

#### Example 1

```js
var data = {
	name: 'David',
	email: 'david@gmail.com',
	age: 28
};

var rules = {
	name: 'required',
	email: 'required|email',
	age: 'min:18'
};

var validation = new Validator(data, rules);

validation.passes(); // true
validation.fails(); // false
```

To apply validation rules to the _data_ object, use the same object key names for the _rules_ object.

#### Example 2

```js
var validation = new Validator({
	name: 'D',
	email: 'not an email address.com'
}, {
	name: 'size:3',
	email: 'required|email'
});

validation.fails(); // true
validation.passes(); // false

// Error messages
validation.errors.first('email'); // 'The email format is invalid.'
validation.errors.get('email'); // returns an array of all email error messages
```

### Validation Rules

Note: Input values of _undefined_ or an empty string '' will pass as true. Use the _required_ flag if they should fail validation.

#### accepted

The field under validation must be yes, on, or 1. This is useful for validating "Terms of Service" acceptance.

#### alpha

The field under validation must be entirely alphabetic characters.

#### alpha_dash

The field under validation may have alpha-numeric characters, as well as dashes and underscores.

#### alpha_num

The field under validation must be entirely alpha-numeric characters.

#### confirmed

The field under validation must have a matching field of foo_confirmation. For example, if the field under validation is password, a matching password_confirmation field must be present in the input.

#### different:attribute

The given field must be different than the field under validation.

#### email

The field under validation must be formatted as an e-mail address.

```
	address: 'email'
```

#### in:foo,bar,...

The field under validation must be included in the given list of values.

####integer

The field under validation must have an integer value.

#### max:value

Validate that an attribute is no greater than a given size

```
cost: 'max:100'
```
_Note: Maximum checks are inclusive._

#### min:value

Validate that an attribute is at least a given size.

```
payment: 'min:10'
```

_Note: Minimum checks are inclusive._

#### not_in:foo,bar,...

The field under validation must not be included in the given list of values.

#### numeric

Validate that an attribute is numeric. The string representation of a number will pass.

```
age: 'numeric'
```

#### required

Checks if the length of the String representation of the value is >

```
username: 'required'
```

#### same:attribute

The given field must match the field under validation.

#### size:value

Validate that an attribute is a given length, or, if an attribute is numeric, is a given value

```
duration: 'size:2'
```

#### url

Validate that an attribute has a valid URL format

```
link: 'url'
```

### Registering Custom Validation Rules

```js
Validator.register(custom_rule_name, callbackFn, errorMessage);
```

* custom_rule_name - string
* callbackFn - function. If callbackFn returns a truthy value, the validation will pass for this rule. Otherwise, this validation rule will fail.
* errorMessage is an optional string where you can specify a custom error message. _:attribute_ inside errorMessage will be replaced with the attribute name.

```js
Validator.register('telephone', function(value, requirement, attribute) { // requirement paramter defaults to null
	return val.match(/^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$/);
}, 'The :attribute phone number is not in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX.');
```

### Error Messages

This contructor will automatically generate error messages for validation rules that failed.

If there are errors, the Validator instance will have its __errors__ property object populated with the error messages for all failing attributes. The methods and properties on the __errors__ property object are:

#### .first(attribute)

returns the first error message for an attribute, false otherwise

#### .get(attribute)

returns an array of error messages for an attribute, or an empty array if there are no errors

####.errorCount

the number of validation errors

```js
var validation = new Validator(input, rules);
validation.errors.first('email'); // returns first error message for email attribute
validator.errors.get('email'); // returns an array of error messages for the email attribute
```

### Custom Error Messages

If you need a specific error message and you don't want to override the default one, you can pass an override as the third argument to the Validator object, just like with [Laravel](http://laravel.com/docs/validation#custom-error-messages).

```js
var input = {
	name: ''
};

var rules = {
	name : 'required'
};

var validation = new Validator(input, rules, {required: 'You forgot to give a :attribute'});
validation.errors.first('name'); // returns 'You forgot to give a name'
```

Some of the validators have string and numeric versions. You can change them too.

```js
var input = {
	username: 'myusernameistoolong'
};

var rules = {
	username : 'max:16'
};

var validation = new Validator(input, rules, {max: {string: 'The :attribute is too long. Max length is :max.'}});
validation.errors.first('username'); // returns 'The username is too long. Max length is 16.'
```

You can even provide error messages on a per attribute basis! Just set the message's key to 'validator.attribute'

```js
var input = { name: '', email: '' };
var rules = { name : 'required', email : 'required' };

var validation = new Validator(input, rules, { 'required.email': 'Without an :attribute we can\'t reach you!' });
validation.errors.first('name'); // returns  'The name field is required.'
validation.errors.first('email'); // returns 'Without an email we can\'t reach you!'
```

The measures and how they will be applied by the Spanish Government are still unknown.
In his first speech on public television, after the Catalan Parliament voted to declare independence on Friday, Puigdemont said he will not accept the suspension of the Catalan government by the Spanish government.
"It is a decision contrary to the one expressed at the ballot boxes", he said from the Catalan government's headquarters in Girona, his hometown. "In a democratic society, Parliaments are the ones who appoint or dismiss presidents."
"And what now?", many Catalans ask themselves.
The Spanish Government has already begun with the first measures derived from the approval of article 155 of the Spanish Constitution suspending Catalan self-government. This Saturday the chief of the Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan police, has already been dismissed. Josep Lluís Trapero accumulated charges of sedition by his "inaction" according to the Spanish Government during the celebration of the referendum on the p1st of October. The director general of the Catalan police, Pere Soler, has also been dismissed.
This Friday the president of the Spanish Government, Mariano Rajoy, has cancelled the president and his cabinet, has dissolved the parliament and called elections for December 21. With these measures and others to come, Madrid wants to recover the "legality" of Catalan institutions.
What is surprising is that Rajoy has delegated to the Vice-President of the Government, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, all the functions that would correspond to him. Thus, Santamaría now has the powers of the presidency of the Generalitat.
In this way, it is stated in the Official State Gazette (BOE), where it appears that the President of the Government assumes the functions and powers that correspond to the President of the Generalitat and in turn, Rajoy delegates his tasks to the Vice-President.
The measures and how they will be applied are still unknown.
Following Friday's declaration of independence, thousands of supporters took to the streets to welcome the Republic. The celebration did not stop even though hours after the proclamation Madrid had suspended the Catalan Executive and dissolved the parliament.
According to local police in Barcelona, about 6,000 participants were counted in Sant Jaume Square, in front of one of the buildings of the Catalan government, the Palau de la Generalitat.
The celebration had already begun hours before near where the Catalan Parliament is located, in Ciutadella Park.
On the other hand, a demonstration in favour of the unity of Spain was concentrated in front of the Catalan public radio station facilities, where demonstrators broke windows.

Habromys schmidlyi, sometimes known as Schmidly's deer mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae found only in Mexico. Its natural habitat is cloud forest in the Sierra de Taxco, on the border of Guerrero and Mexico states, above 1,800 meters elevation.

The name "Schmidly's deer mouse" is ambiguous, as it is shared by another species, Peromyscus schmidlyi.

Paul G. Boyd (September 30, 1967 – August 13, 2007) was an American-born Canadian animator. He was a member of a.k.a. Cartoon, the production team for Cartoon Network's Ed, Edd, and Eddy, as a title sequence animator and director. He began his career working for International Rocketship on two Gary Larson specials. During his career he taught at Vancouver Film School and worked at many animation studios in Vancouver. His work directing for Aaagh! It's the Mr. Hell Show!, along with co-director Moose Pagen, was nominated for an Annie Award in 2001.

Early history
Boyd was born September 30, 1967 in Pasadena, California. He grew up in the west side of Vancouver, British Columbia and attended Lord Byng Secondary School. He attended University of British Columbia and Concordia University in Montreal.  Before joining a.k.a. Cartoon, he showed an unusual gift for expression in the visual arts in his youth.  For the last 15 years of his life, he had a successful career as an animator, and was employed by a number of animation studios in Vancouver. He was passionate about his work and it was highly regarded.

Career
According to the animation industry website Cartoon Brew, other than Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Boyd also worked for Aaagh! It's the Mr. Hell Show! and provided animation for Gary Larson's Tales from the Far Side and the Flash animation television series ¡Mucha Lucha!  An incomplete list of his animation credits can be found on IMDb.  During the 1990s he taught many young animators at the Vancouver Film School.  A prize in his honour for the top student in Classical Animation at the Vancouver Film School is funded by his family and presented three times per year.  At the time of Boyd's death he was working at the Global Mechanic studio.  His last completed work was on two animated advertisements for the Alberta Government.

Illness and death
While in his 20s, Boyd was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, an illness for which he received constant and usually effective treatment.  He lived with this illness for almost 20 years. He was shot and killed on August 13, 2007, by a police officer, Lee Chipperfield, in Vancouver. A video recorded by tourists showed Boyd being shot nine times after wielding what was believed to be a bicycle chain, but other witnesses state it was a chain of paperclips, at officers who came to respond to a disturbance involving him. The ninth shot that struck Boyd was fired as he was on the ground. The officer who shot Boyd was cleared in the death. The use of force was criticized by many of Boyd's colleagues and relatives.

Investigation
The fatal shooting incident was investigated by the Vancouver Police Department and their findings passed on to the Criminal Justice Branch of BC which decided not to prosecute Chipperfield.   After a Coroner's Inquest in December 2010 revealed many details which did not figure in the Criminal Justice Branch report, a complaint was filed by the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association to the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner alleging that excessive force had been used. In March 2012, the British Columbia Police Complaint Commissioner issued a report concluding that there was not "clear, convincing and cogent evidence ... that Chipperfield used unnecessary force or excessive force during this incident."  He based his conclusion partly on an opinion provided by a use-of-force expert, Bill Lewinski, who suggested that Chipperfield could have been suffering from "inattentional blindness."

In May 2012, a video captured by a tourist's video camera surfaced.  In the video, which starts just as a burst of two shots was fired (the 7th and 8th shots), Boyd is seen crawling on the road, unarmed.  In the time between the eighth and ninth (fatal) shot, an officer is seen standing near Boyd handling an object that analysis of the video showed to be a chain and throwing it to one side thus providing evidence that Boyd was unarmed at the time the fatal shot was fired.  David Eby, executive director of the B. C. Civil Liberties Association, said that the video made it clear that Boyd did not pose a threat to anyone at the time the fatal bullet was fired.  In light of the new evidence, an independent investigative agency, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT), was asked by the Attorney General of British Columbia to review the case with the new video in consideration.

In a June 25, 2013 media statement, the Criminal Justice Branch announced that ASIRT had completed its investigation and on June 24, 2013, the Assistant Deputy Attorney General, M. Joyce DeWitt-Van Oosten, had appointed a prominent Vancouver lawyer, Mark Jetté, as special prosecutor to decide on the basis of ASIRT's report and further investigation, if necessary, if charges would be laid against any of the officers involved in the incident. If a decision were made to prosecute then Mr. Jetté would conduct the prosecution. Ms DeWitt-Van Oosten concluded that it was necessary to appoint a Special Prosecutor to avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the administration of criminal justice in reviewing the ASIRT report.  The BCCLA applauded the B.C. government for their June 2013 decision to appoint a Special Prosecutor to reconsider laying charges in the Boyd case.
  (In December 2010, following the conclusion of the Coroner's Inquest, the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association had called for a Special Prosecutor to be appointed but this request was rejected at that time).

On October 28, 2013, the Criminal Justice Branch announced that the special prosecutor had decided that no charges would be laid against Chipperfield in this case.  Because the intent of Chipperfield's actions, i.e. to shoot and kill Boyd, was not in dispute the only charge that would have been appropriate was one of second degree murder.  However, the prosecutor reasoned that the defense of self-defense would likely succeed because of the requirement that the prosecution establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Chipperfield knew he was shooting an unarmed and severely wounded man who did not pose a threat of death or serious injury to Chipperfield or others.  Some of the police officers and civilian witnesses present at the time of the fatal shot testified that Boyd was crawling at the time he was killed and did not present a threat to any other person.  Others testified that although he was crawling he did present a threat, and still others said that he was walking and upright up until the final shot. There was similar differing testimony regarding whether or not he was armed.  While the video may support some of these testimonies more than others, as a whole they could be used by the defence to attempt to establish that a reasonable person could believe that Boyd posed a threat at the time of his death.  For a discussion of the meaning of "reasonable doubt", see:, where there is an extensive section concerning the meaning of the term in Canadian criminal law as interpreted by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Memorial
The Ed, Edd, and Eddy episode, May I Have This Ed? / Look Before You Ed!, was dedicated in Boyd's memory, and features a memorial at the end of the episode stating, Paul Boyd 1967-2007. We will miss you, big lug!

Q: How to store Effect parameters in class ? How to store Effect parameters in class ?
I'm stuck in this problem for the 3rd day now and I think I'm slowly going to be insane.
I tried to create a class named EffectParameter so I can store/set my parameter values for each object's shader dynamically.
I tried the to store the ParameterValue in Object type
Object ParameterData;

But I encountered a problem where I need to read from this class....this is where everything going down in the hill.
The method effect.Parameters["parametername"].SetValue()  only accept a few kind of types.
And I cannot pass an object to this method.
So I tried to Cast this object.
public T ReadData<T>()
{
    return (T)(object)this.ParameterDataVal;
}

But with this my problem is that I need to know the specific type of this object when I set it (Float,Texture2D etc.)
And I cannot use a type variable to determine the type of this object.
I tried to use (typevariable)(object)this.ParameterDataVal;
But it just gave me errors.
I was mad,so I searched the net for solution for dynamic typing.
But I found no method for my problem.
Then I realized maybe I'm making problems of a simple thing.
So I decided to I use an EffectParameter to store my data.
But then I had another problem with this, again when I try to set this data to the effect....
So I tried to give this Parameter to the effect with a method,but I still getting error that 'It's readonly.'.
So I cannot add my EffectParameter to the collection.
I tried many ways. But no success.
I'm totally lost in this. I have no idea what else to do.
Anybody ever encountered this problem or somebody can provide me a good solution plan?

A: The solution's class:
    public class ObjectShader
    {

        public Effect effect;

        public System.Drawing.Image TextureImage;

        public string ShaderName;

        string TechniqueName;

            public ObjectShader(string name,Effect ef)
            {
                this.ShaderName = name;
                this.effect = ef;

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, System.Drawing.Image val)
            {
                this.TextureImage = val;

            }

            public void SetValue(string name,float val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, float[] val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, string val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, Matrix val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, Matrix[] val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, Vector2 val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, Vector2[] val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, Vector3 val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, Vector3[] val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

            public void SetValue(string name, int val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }
            public void SetValue(string name, int[] val)
            {
                this.effect.Parameters[name].SetValue(val);

            }

    }
}
