Frosthaven Is Rethinking Its Fantasy 'Races'
Luke Plunkett
Illustration: Alexandr Elichev
Gloomhaven sequel Frosthaven isn't even out yet and it's already tracking to be one of the biggest board games of the last decade, so it's very cool seeing the way the game is going to taking a different approach to the way its "races" are depicted compared to more traditional fantasy storylines.
In a major update posted to the game's Kickstarter page last week, creator Isaac Childres says the development team recently "brought James Mendez Hodes onto the Frosthaven team to do cultural consultant work", which will involve "looking through all the narrative of Frosthaven and at all of the different cultures depicted within, and...making sure everything is internally consistent and that it isn't co-opting any real-world terms or ideas that may be harmful to players or any real-world cultures."
Dungeons & Dragons has been doing something similar recently, with the welcome changes basically revolving around the idea that some of the ideas and terms fantasy literature are based around are, in 2021, looking a little cooked. Stuff like using the word "race" at all, when it's generally an inaccurate term to differentiate entirely different species, but then also doing stuff like applying generalised traits to every member of that "race", which borders on mirroring the prejudices of real-world racism.
And it doesn't even have to be overt, intentional racism. As Childres writes, some of his creations for Gloomhaven "hew dangerously close to very harmful stereotypes of real-world cultures, because of...my own unconscious biases."
Childres stresses that none of this changes a single thing about how games like Frosthaven will play, they're simply tweaks to the narrative of the game world and the way different characters and species are portrayed. Here's another example of some of the types of changes they'll be making (though these aren't really changes, since the game isn't out yet!):
If you look at the history of Frosthaven I wrote during the Kickstarter, you may notice the religiously fueled colonialism vibes running rampant through it. This itself isn't an issue. This is how the main human nation behaves in this fantasy reality. But I've since become uncomfortable with how the story written in that update forces the player to opt in and become complicit in this behavior without choice. Some people may not be comfortable with that.
So we've shifted the story around so that Frosthaven is a separate entity that doesn't want to, by default, take over by force a territory inhabited by other peoples. The story is still just as rich or richer than before, and certain individuals will still come in, recruiting you to advance the colonialist agendas of the capital, but now the player has agency in how the story plays out, which is always a good thing.

The PDP gaming remote is officially licensed by Xbox and will just work with no need to sync devices, making it the easiest way to navigate your Xbox.
Everybody wins. Except for the select few pissbabies upset at this broadening of the game's horizons, for whom Childres—like he did with anyone "who didn't think black lives matter" after previous updates—is more than happy to offer a full refund to.

Q: Nested ng-repeat with checkboxes I'm creating table with nested ng-repeat but checkboxes in each column have synchronous reaction when being checked/unchecked. How to fix this behaviour so each checkbox could be checked on its own?
HTML:

        {{person.firstName + ' ' + person.secondName}}

        <input type="checkbox"
        name="{{day.name}}"
        ng-model='day.checked'/>

Code:
var daysOfWeek = [ { name: 'Sun', checked: '' }
                  ,{ name: 'Mon', checked: '' }
                  ,{ name: 'Tue', checked: '' }
                  ,{ name: 'Wen', checked: '' }
                  ,{ name: 'Thu', checked: '' }
                  ,{ name: 'Fri', checked: '' }
                  ,{ name: 'Sat', checked: ''}];
var persons =
    [{ firstName: 'Jil', secondName: 'Mith' }
     ,{ firstName: 'Alvin', secondName: 'Zurb' }
     ,{ firstName: 'John', secondName: 'Burt' }
     ,{ firstName: 'Tom', secondName: 'Kurtz' }];

persons.forEach(function(person) {
    person.daysOfWeek = daysOfWeek;
});

angular.module('MyApp',[]);

function MyCtrl($scope) {
    $scope.persons = persons;
    console.log($scope.persons);

    $scope.saveInfo = function() {
        console.log($scope.persons);
    };
}

The Fiddle is here

A: You are assigning the same daysOfWeek array to each person, so when you check a specific day, you check the same object (day) for each person.
You can solve this by mapping a new days of week array to each person, using angular.extend, so you will you get a new day object for each person:
persons.forEach(function(person) {
    person.daysOfWeek = daysOfWeek.map(function(day) { return angular.extend({}, day)}); // extending the day object to a new object
});

Chekc this fiddle.

Q: Working with a function that returns an array I have written a function in Javascipt that returns a variable sized array. How do I declare/assign a variable in the calling function to accept this array and perform further processing on it?
function myArrayFunction()
{
    const myArray = [];             //Initialise Empty Array
    var x = 0;                      //Array index (cannot use .push() function in my app)

    for (let i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++) {
        myArray[x] = i * 2;         //Simple function that doubles i and assigns value to index in array
    }
    return myArray;                 //Should return a 6 element array
}

const myOtherArray = [];            //The array for the value returned from myArrayFunction() to be stored in

myOtherArray = myArrayFunction();

I get a warning the Debugging Scripts.array declaration error: invalid assignment to const `myOtherArray'. What's wrong?
I have tried using the const, let and var key words to initialise an empty array value.
I was expecting the variable that is passed out of the function would be assigned to the variable within the calling function.
Updated Code
Here is updated code, which includes a console.log statement enclosed in a second for loop. The result I expect is that the function should loop back through myArray and print out each of the elements at its 6 index locations.

function myArrayFunction()
{
  const myArray = [];     //Initialise Empty Array
  var x = 0;              //Array index (

  for (let i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++) {
    myArray[x] = i * 2;   //Simple function
  }
   for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) { //Loop through array
       console.log(myArray[x]);
   }
  return myArray;         //Should return a 6 element array
}

let myOtherArray = [];    //The array to store returned array

myOtherArray = myArrayFunction();

console.log(myOtherArray);

When I run this code, I do not see an array of 6 numbers, but only the last one (10)

A: It seems that using the .push() function to create the array solves the problem

function myArrayFunction()
{
        const myArray = [];             //Initialise Empty Array
        var x = 0;                      //Array index (cannot use .push() function in my app)
        var y = 0;                      //The initial value of the array

        for (let i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++) {
            y = i * 2;
            myArray.push(y);            //push the answer onto array
            console.log("Value of myArray = " + myArray[i]);
        }

        return myArray;                 //Should return a 6 element array
}

It seems the error I am getting is not related to the Javascipt I had written, but rather the environment in which I am trying to execute it (Sparx Enterprise Architect). I will post on a more specialised forum and see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks all

A: You have a typo in the variable name of Session.Output(classiferIDArray[0]); causing the classiferIDArray is not defined error.
With your code updated, the output is a bunch of 10s because you're trying to use x as the index, but actually using i as the index in the for loop. I.e. x is always 0, and after the first for loop runs, the 0th entry in myArray is set to 5 * 2. Then you log that value a bunch of times in your next for loop.

March 2008, Photobucket decided that showing bare behinds was nudity and threatened the safety and security of users… even if they were BABY pictures. Front-line staff manager and corporate trainer Monica M. Massad did finally concede and make allowances for baby pictures, but evidently the hearts of the moderators are so filthy and corrupt that they assume everyone lusts in their hearts when they see baby pictures. After all, why else would they look at a nude baby picture and deem it pornography? We seem to be heading toward the point where nothing will be considered art and even such things as exposed navels will be deemed vile and repulsive. Heaven forbid should someone post a picture of someone wearing a bathing suit. You might think that Photobucket is owned by Jerry Falwell's Ministries.
You wouldn't be far off the mark. Photobucket in fact is owned by the Australian-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, the same company that owns MySpace. Yes, Rupert Murdoch, the same man who owns Fox News… the network that pushes hate, fear, and ignorance to its viewers and supports the Christian Right and its "holy war" against the Muslim race; the same man who owns News International, the British arm of Murdoch's News Corp. which publishes the News of the World, and was criticized by U.K. lawmakers for their illegal wiretaps, which they call "hacking."
Rupert Murdock has long been known for cozying up to fundamentalists. It was his take-over of Fox Network that changed the course of programming in that start up Network from Gen. X hilarity to "Family Friendly" programming.
Rupert Murdock, most recently, has been criticized for his business affiliations with Saudi Prince Al-Waleed, who incidentally is Prince of a country which fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were citizens of. What makes this tidbit of information interesting is that Murdock's Fox News has made so many references to the evils of 9/11 and the evils of Islam. Add Fox News' support for the large oil corporations, include some inside information of a large oil company bribing Iran to hold the hostages in the Middle East until after the election where President Carter was defeated; this information may give 9/11 New World Order conspiracy theories some credibility. Some insight into the inside information held by this reporter can be alluded to by the quote from Mark Danner's blog in The New Yorker:
Danner writes, "a series of delaying tactics … by the Iranian Parliament stymied all attempts by the Carter Administration to act on the hostage question … before Election Day."
Murdoch seems to like joining forces with religious extremists, first Christian right extremists, now Muslim extremists. He is buying his way to controlling more American media and threatening to cut off any rational thinking from media airwaves. Should we have given the conspiracy theorists a little more credence?
As if this weren't enough, Rupert Murdoch's madness seems to be spreading to other networks as well. Perhaps it's because they feel the need to compete in the ratings, but if so, what happens to any shred of truth left in our media?
On February 18th, there was a breaking news story from CNN that said this:
"Plane crashes into building"
The building was in Austin, TX. The reporter was making the attempt to link it to 9/11 by leading with questions to direct the interview toward a 9/11 scenario. He was trying to make a frightening story of terrorism out of the incident. As it turns out the case had to do with a disgruntled individual behind on their taxes with anarchist leanings.
With FOX News recently winning its court battle that allows it, and subsequently all other news stations, to misinform, or in layman's terms lie, on its "news coverage" is CNN trying to be the new FOX News? Are the other stations soon to follow? Does this mean that U.S. citizens will no longer be able to get news that relies on facts and will only get news that's hype?
Jane Akre and her husband Steve Wilson, former employees of FOX-owned-and-operated station WTVT in Tampa, Florida, sued FOX under the Florida whistle-blower law and were awarded $425,000 for which FOX counter-sued. It was determined in court that WTVT's (Fox) argument that the FCC's policy against the intentional falsification of the news — which the FCC has called its "news distortion policy" — does not qualify as the required "law, rule, or regulation" under section 448.102. […] Because the FCC's news distortion policy is not a "law, rule, or regulation" under section 448.102
Only FoxBGHsuit.com, InjuryBoard.com, ThirdWorldTraveler.org, CeaseSPIN.org, Purefood.com, Relfe.com, SourceWatch.org, OrganicConsumers.org, TheCorporation.com, and DailyKos.com and a couple others even reported on the FOX lawsuit. Not one of the major media outlets covered the story at all. The Daily Kos quoted the following:
"During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre's claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so."
Evidently, CNN was paying attention and decided to do some FOXy coverage of its own. Most likely many viewers could probably easily spot the hype, but how many others were scared needlessly by this type of coverage? How long will it be before the other U.S. television news stations follow suit and decide to do some FOXy coverage of their own simply for the sake of ratings? With jobs and pay declining, prices rising, homes being foreclosed on by the very banks for which the taxpayers are now footing the bills of their bail-outs, how many more of these types of incidents will we see? How much father will Murdoch's Madness spread?

Cal, it seems every generation has its Hurst – and our cross-to-bear, media-wise, is Murdoch.
Unfortunately, he has influence far beyond the media.
SpaceEagle says:
Yes… do you remember that Zen Arrow guy?
karlsie says:
As a young girl, my father sat me down and explained the differences to me between conscientious news coverages and tabloids. What he couldn't explain was why so many people read the sensationalist driven, ninety-seven percent fabricated, unsubstantiated drivel of tabloids. He shrugged it off as a matter of taste and i grew up somewhat baffled by tasteless motivations.
Tabloid coverage, i couldn't help noticing, was not only a cheap thrill for the reader, it required very little skill and virtually no research for the writer. If the tail end of the neighbor's yellow dog was seen escaping through the fence one night, the story could quickly be crafted into a headline warning of invasive, life threatening coyotes.
As a general rule, the conversations of people thrive on gossip. This discovery that has made tabloids so popular, was bound to morph out, sooner or later, into other media aspects. We now have tabloid television news coverage. As gratifying as it must be to those who prefer a fantasy world of two headed aliens and blood sucking monsters, gossip remains purely gossip and has no place in the reality of conscientious journalism. The gossip mongers have no incentive to change even though gossip does hurt its victims when ordinarily sane people become believers. It has been in the past and is necessary again, when intelligent, aware people must dismiss the irresponsible prattle of fantasy coverage in order to discern the truth in quality journalism. Ultimately, it becomes a matter of reputation. Once labeled a gossip monger and a tabloid, it's very difficult to change the image. FOX News will live on as the dietary supplement for those who believe the Vikings were shape shifters and the chupachiva is waiting to eat you alive.

There are expensive things to do in Las Vegas. Those are easy to find. There are cheap things to do in Las Vegas but the numbers are dwindling. And there are completely free things to do in Las Vegas. Here are some of the best that I have done.
You can kill quite a bit of time just walking around and exploring each of the monster hotel casinos in Las Vegas. Most all of the major hotels are within a 1.7 mile distance on the strip. You can walk (free) up and down the strip, take the monorail (moderate cost but also recommended) or a taxi (expensive).
Most of the time, this winds up costing you. But if you can walk shops without spending any money, it could be free! There are malls at Caesars, Planet Hollywood (formerly Alladin), Palazzo/Venetian and the Fashion Show Mall by Treasure Island and Wynn. There are also rows of shops at many of the hotels like the Bellagio and Wynn.
Okay, these are not free. These can cost you big and ruin a vacation. But they usually frequent the spots where things are free. Always watch your bags and wallets closely. It's best not to have anything in your back pockets or loose pockets when in crowds. Especially in down economy times.
All of these are free. Zero dollars. I have seen them all and they are all worth some time and a visit. A few of them are worth more than one visit depending on day or night as the experience is different.
Fountain show in front of Bellagio. The schedule has changed a bit over time and doesn't run nearly as often as in previous years. It generally runs every night after 7pm and in the afternoon on weekends. Viewpoints include out front on the sidewalk and from the nearby pedestrian bridge.
Botanical Conservatory in lobby of the Bellagio.
Glass art on ceiling in lobby of the Bellagio.
Fountain show in the Forum Shops at Caesars. Statues come to life.
Aquarium in Forum Shops at Caesars. Fed by a diver twice in the afternoon.
Live trapeze and high wire acts all afternoon and evening at Circus Circus.
Laser light show on Fremont Street overhead canopy starting at 8pm.
Browse the lights and old Las Vegas signs on Fremont Street. Lots of free street entertainment as well.
The monorail between Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay is free.
Free wildlife habitat at the Flamingo.
Free aquarium at the Golden Nugget.
Outdoor Carnival Court at Harrah's has music and entertainment nightly.
Lion habitat at the MGM Grand from 11am - 11pm.
CBS Television City Research Center. Watch and review tv shows.
Free volcano show outside in front of the Mirage.
Times Square Bar has Dueling Pianos show. No cover but if you don't want to even buy one drink you can see or listen from outside the bar as well.
Free aerial show at the Rio.
Siren show outside in front of Treasure Island. Four shows nightly, every 90 minutes from 7pm to 11:30pm.

Disney should remake "The Sword in the Stone"
I recently rewatched the Disney movie, The Sword in the Stone, with my two partners. It's old and a classic, I guess, but I had a big problem with it… The ending was dumb. The rest of the movie was silly, but the ending really misses the mark for modern audiences. The movie, in brief, is a series of adventures in transfiguration; Merlin changes young Arthur into various animals, and while in that animal form, Arthur must overcome…challenges or dangers. Fine. At the end though, Arthur pulls the sword from the stone and is crowned king.
The issue is literally the very last scene. Little King Arthur is sitting in his throne and chatting with his buddy the owl, when he starts to freak out. He's scared, he's nervous, etc. He tries to bolt, and the Owl encourages him. Finally Merlin shows up, who totally ditched him (was he supposed to be the role model?), and while wearing beach shorts and shades, he kinda helps ease Arthur's anxiety. The end.
Blargh, that's not how it should have ended. Instead, there could have been some character growth. Arthur could have reflected on his adventures as a squirrel, fish, and bird, and realized that because he was able to overcome those challenges, he can handle whatever being a king had in store for him. Part of the message to young Arthur throughout the movie was to use his imagination. At the end, he could have used his imagination, and said, 'I can do this. I can use my imagination to solve whatever problems come my way…And you know what? I'm going to have a really big table, but a round one. I've never seen that,' etc. The ending could have reinforced the message of the movie, but instead it was just a way to close the story without really showing growth.
Am I fired up about this? Not really, no. But it could have been better. I think Disney should do a remake with a better ending, and with less squirrel girl-silliness. Which reminds me, how about having a female character in the movie? Ignoring the love-crazed squirrels, there was the kitchen staff woman who came out screaming one time because the dishes were washing themselves, but we really don't know anything about her. All we know is that she's female-bodied and hangs out in the kitchen… The witch was hardly a person, let alone a woman, so she counts even less in my book.
So there you have it. Disney, remake the movie but put women in it as actual characters, make it not suck, and have some character growth happen. Thank you.

Just mention the word "Penang" to anyone in Singapore, and I'll bet you Singaporeans would immediately gush about one thing: the food. My roommate Jess and I are quite the food enthusiasts, so we were both super excited to make this weekend trip up to Penang from Singapore!
Now the question is: What do you eat in Penang when you only have 48 hours? Well, I have the perfect list for you. We flew in on a Friday night and flew out on a Sunday, and we made sure we hit up all the must eat in Penang.
Taxis and Car Sharing – This is the most convenient way to get around in Penang. Just a note, Uber is no longer operating in Malaysia (and in entire South East Asia) as it has been bought out by its local competitor called Grab. I have my own opinions about Grab but it does make it much easier when traveling, so I recommend using Grab to get around. It works just like Uber.
An alternative to taxi would be the public bus called Rapid Penang. It's pretty cheap – we took one to go to Gurney Drive. However, the routes weren't very convenient so I'd still recommend taxi.
Google Maps works really well in Malaysia. So definitely pre-download a map of Penang to save data while you're there!
As with any other travels, it would also be handy to have an internet connection at all times, so I recommend getting a prepaid local SIM card.
Penang Char Koay Teow is a MUST-eat street side food when in Penang. The dish consists of Koay Teow (white flat rice noodle) stir-fried with chives, eggs, crunchy bean sprouts and prawns.
You won't run out of options for great Char Koay Teow in Penang. It's clearly such a signature dish that everyone seems to have their own opinion of which Char Koay Teow is the best in the city. Whichever one you choose, make sure it is one that is cooked on charcoal. In my opinion, this is the only way to achieve that burnt smoky aroma characteristic to this dish.
The one we went to that I loved was Kafe Heng Huat with the red hat auntie in Lorong Selamat, which has been known to be a bit controversial due to the attitude of the chef auntie. I guess she can be dismissive and does not provide any sort of customer service. That said, we didn't run into any problems during our visit so I would still recommend it! The Char Koay Teow itself definitely hits the spot for me. It has that smokey taste that I really craved for. She sells her plate in three sizes: Small for RM9.50, Medium for RM10 and Large for RM 12.50.
Another place we visited is Ah Leng Char Koay Teow, which was also delicious but I felt it was missing the smokey flavor. We ordered the special char koay teow for RM12.50 (Regular plate is RM7.50), and they did give big juicy prawns on each dish which is a huge plus for most people. I don't like crustaceans though, so I gave all of mine to Jess which I'm sure she was super happy about.
While visiting Singapore and Malaysia, you will start hearing the term "Peranakan" being used when in the context of cultural matters. Peranakan is descendants of Chinese immigrants who had settled in the area that is now known as Malaysia and Singapore between 15th to 17th centuries. These Chinese immigrants brought with them their own culture and it has fused with local culture over time, creating a unique blend now referred to as Peranakan.
One popular example of Peranakan cuisine is Laksa. Now, there are many types of Laksa and Penang is known for the variation called Asam Laksa.
We were told that the best Asam Laksa can be found at the Air Itam area of Penang, which is not very close to Georgetown. That wasn't going to stop us so we called a taxi and made the 25 minutes drive out to Air Itam. Don't let the distance scare you since this Laksa is actually within close proximity of some tourist attractions like Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si temple.
And I have to tell you, we weren't disappointed.
"Asam" means sour in Malay, and as you may have guessed by now – the broth for this Laksa is slightly sour from the use of Tamarind and savory from flaked Mackerel. I found the combination of these two flavors is just… out of this world. RM4.00 gives you a small bowl of this goodness. I was tempted to get a second bowl if it wasn't for the long list of food we wanted to try on this trip!
Tau Sar Piah is a delicious snack that is very popular in Penang. It is traditionally a type of baked good with various bean filling, such as red bean or green bean. Penang Tau Sar Piah is usually filled with soft mashed up mung beans.
The outside of Tau Sar Peah is crumbly and slightly salty, while the inside is soft and sweet. I looooved the salty-sweet soft-crumbly contrast of the flavor and texture!
This dish is usually served for breakfast, though it can be eaten any time of the day now. It's also very popular in Singapore hawker centers!
The finished Nasi Lemak dish!
We went to Gurney Drive and got our fix from Nasi Lemak Cili Bilis for RM 3.50.
Kueh Pie Tee or Koay Pai Ti, a Peranakan snack popular in Malaysia and Singapore. In Singapore, this is usually only served during the festive celebration and family gatherings. Koay Pai Tee is often served with popiah since their ingredient is basically the same – bamboo shoots, thinly sliced veggies, and prawns.
However, unlike popiah that has soft skin, Koay Pai Ti is served in a small crunchy shell that adds an awesome texture to the snack! I usually pop a whole one into my mouth in one go.
Nobody knows exactly where Koay Pai Ti originated from, but it is thought to be Peranakan food with influence from British culture. And that's why they resemble canapes, but with Asian ingredients!
Oyster Omelette is yet another dish that became popular in Malaysia and Singapore through Teochew influences. There are many styles of cooking Oyster Omelette, but in Penang, the omelette is usually served soft, thick and not overcooked – Just the way I like it!
Otak-Otak is a snack made of fish paste and spices that is steamed inside a banana leaf. If I have to describe the texture, I would say it resembles tofu or steamed eggs. It's a popular snack in Indonesia too, although the Otak-Otak I am used to is slightly different than the ones found in Malaysia and Singapore. In Singapore, this is also referred to as "Otah".
Wantan Mee is not a dish unique to Penang or even Malaysia, but I'll bet it's a comforting and familiar meal to anyone who has lived in Asia. It is a simple noodle dish that can be ordered in soup or dry, which means the noodles will come slathered in extra dark sauce and a separate bowl of soup.
We ordered both to see what the difference are, and the conclusion is that the dry version is definitely tastier. However, the soup version is probably more healthy since the extra sauce in the dry version seems to be very decadent.
On our first night in Penang, we called up an Uber to get to Georgetown from the Airport (Note that Uber is no longer operating in South East Asia – you can try the local version called Grab instead). Lucky for us, our driver is a very kind and friendly one! Upon finding out that we are hungry and excited to explore Penang food, he offered to go out of his way and take us to his favorite food joint at Lebuh Presgrave. He also sat down with us for the meal.
The Hokkien Prawn Mee was delicious. We also ordered an array of dessert to finish off the meal, such as Ice Kachang (red bean shaved ice) and Chendol (a dessert made of Gula Melaka / palm sugar and coconut milk).
A perfect welcome meal for us 🙂 Thanks Melv!
We stayed at Royale Chulan Penang, which was a great find since it's within walking distance to the famous Penang Street Art and most of the tourist locations in Penang. And for a 4-star hotel, it was really affordable!
If you fancy something a bit more traditional, you can check out Carnavron House, a guest house located in a 100-year old house. Despite that, the rooms and toilet are very clean, and the location is very good – right in the middle of all the actions in Georgetown.
I hope you enjoyed your trip to our lovely island!


If you require workers to execute and are better, you need an ergonomic process chair at each and every work desk in the office. When the employee features a convenience-seated chair, they may have a lot less pain and will perform job more proficiently without the need of worrying about backaches, severe headaches and neck area and shoulder blades soreness. The chairs are variable which way, when you employ new employees to function on the identical work desk, the ergonomic task chair will meet up with their requirements at the same time with a few changes.Studies have shown that individuals, who rest in chairs for hours on end for operate, get less accomplished when they are uneasy. By having an ergonomic project chair staff members would complete far more function since they will have some convenience. It is required to maintain employees well being very good so as to keep health-related monthly bills to a small.
You will get many styles to select from when evaluating the ideal autonomous chair review. You may look for any type of chair that will fit any worker you might have. The ergonomic project chair has height alterations and armrest alterations that allow multiple people to use the chairs.You must purchase a chair that may in shape everybody; as a result, you need to choose a chair that lacks a specific shape to the back of the chair. In this way it is going to conform to anybody who uses it. Due to the fact everyone is various, you have to get the ergonomic process chair that features a vast adequate seating place to enable for convenient movements. It is a great idea to acquire all the same design and designed chairs which will in shape everyone's requirements. Ever since the lumbar help is adaptable, everybody can adjust this to back up his or her back perfectly.
You are going to spend some dollars to buy the ergonomic job chair, however in the very long, you will see a lot more operate being carried out and consequently the chair will pay for alone. The staff member will always sense more relaxed and free from any pains and aches from relaxing in a regular office chair that does not offer all of the comfort the ergonomic process chair gives the personnel. Furnished with this info, businesses can now buy the correct chairs for the staff members to see work efficiency dual because the personnel are comfortable and cozy although operating.


Hello to everyone in the Shou Shu family. I studied this great fighting art on and off for about 2 years combined back in the early '90s. I was fortunate enough to be brought up mainly by Shi Gung Way when he was a 1st and 2nd degree Shifu. Shun Shifu Jones (3rd degree at the time) was the head of the Merced studio then. I received my High Green belt from DaShifu Sr. back in 1995, and left the same year.
I'm back now for good and was hoping someone would be kind enough to give me some ideas on how to re-learn all of the techniques. Everyone in the Livermore studio has been nothing but welcoming, supportive, and understanding of my long hiatus. I owe it to them and myself to get back on track ASAP. I hate slowing down class because I cannot remember something from a lower belt--very embarassing. Shun Shifu Jack and Shifu Lewis have been alternating me between my low belt material and the 3rd brown material, which has helped me get back into it and given me something to look forward to all at once. I'm just looking for a way to do some work at home, because I have a 45 min commute to the studio which cuts down on my studio time.
Is there an definitive printed list of the techniques and their movements I can acquire from someone? I hate always asking the Shifus and browns to make special arrangements to get me on track, so if anyone has some ideas I would be very grateful. I will attend this next camp in September which I'm sure will help get me started. Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer some help/advice.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS TO CONCENTRATE ON IN A FIGHT (TECHNIQUE) IS TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE TECHNIQUE IS TRYING TO TEACH YOU. DON'T GET CAUGHT-UP ON THE ENDINGS, WEAPONS OR ANGLES, FOCUS ON "UNDERSTANDING" THE "TRUE" OBJECTIVE OF THE TECHNIQUE (FIGHT), THEN DIAL-IN THE REST. IT'S A QUICKER AND EASIER WAY TO LEARN SHOU SHU.......SHOU SHU IS NOT THOSE TECHNIQUES, THEY ARE A WAY, A PATH TO SHOU SHU.
This is awesome advice from Da Shifu! Remember this as you re-learn Shou Shu.
Camp will help you a great deal.
Ask your shun shifu about obtaining a copy of a list of the lower belt techniques with descriptions.
Thank you for the reply and the advice; I will do what you (and Da Shifu Siegfried) suggested. And it's GREAT to be back!

Using the heap to eliminate stack accesses
Zoltan Somogyi, Peter J. Stuckey
Department of Data Science & AI
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference Paper › Research › peer-review
The value of a variable is often given by a field of a heap cell, and frequently the program will pick up the values of several variables from different fields of the same heap cell. By keeping some of these variables out of the stack frame, and accessing them in their original locations on the heap instead, we can reduce the number of loads from and stores to the stack at the cost of introducing a smaller number of loads from the heap. We present an algorithm that finds the optimal set of variables to access via a heap cell instead of a stack slot, and transforms the code of the program accordingly. We have implemented this optimization in the Mercury compiler, and our measurements show that it can reduce program runtimes by up to 12% while at the same time reducing program size. The optimization is straightforward to apply to Mercury and to other languages with immutable data structures; its adaptation to languages with destructive assignment would require the compiler to perform mutability analysis.

Hi, Everyone. I've been so busy lately promoting my new book that I didn't get a chance to blog about a topic that has been on my mind now for a little while. I've titled this blog: 'Jealousy Stagnates' for a very important reason that I'm about to lay out here right now.
Have you ever had a friend whom you always compliment even for the slightest thing like a new hair-do / hair cut or for even bigger things like a promotion on the job or some other type of success, yet for some reason when there's something new about you / something worthy of a compliment, that friend is utterly quiet? Got any 'friends' like that? How does it feel to be the only one complimenting all the time as if you're on a one-way street? I guess you've thought about it, but don't really vocalize it- particularly to your friend.
The thing is… I realize that some people came from backgrounds where no one ever or rarely ever complimented them for anything they did that was noteworthy – whether in the smaller sense or the larger sense of the word – and so as they grow and mature, they don't know how to express compliments to others even though they are now being complimented by others. They feel awkward expressing such kindness and therefore, they don't put in the effort to break out of the box, so to speak. I've met some really good people that are like that: They really have that issue because they came from some unimaginably tough backgrounds and thus, being 'nice' like that is something they have to work on. Okay, with that out of the way, let's get on to the crux of the matter (thusly, the title).
Many other people in this world today simply hate to see even the ones they claim to love, get ahead. That's the fact of the matter. If they're not doing something that's positive and worthy of respect or accolades themselves, they don't believe anyone else should receive any type of accolades or recognition (not that accolades is something you should be looking for). In other words, some people just have such contaminated hearts that they can't see themselves happy for anyone. Those type of people are rightly in the 'stagnated' category… and they've put themselves there unknowingly. See, when a person is envious of another person, they find themselves not achieving those things that they greatly desire. It's not that they don't have the ability to achieve those things; it's just that they've planted seeds of envy that have taken root and sprouted in their lives, and they find themselves stagnated seemingly like 'forever' from getting to the point where they really would like to be.
What's the remedy?: Learn how to be happy for others. I have a whole chapter in 'Seeing Beyond The Natural' book that speaks about that. I knew it needed to be there. If people learn how to do that and actually work at it, they will find themselves moving forward in the direction they were 'pre-destined' to go. There's no way they can miss their destiny. However, if they allow jealousy to consume them (some to the point where they can't even pay a person a simple compliment) they will find themselves stagnated – most likely – permanently. What a sad, miserable way to exist.
Let's rise above that negativity and be the best that we can be for ourselves and each other by having the right type of heart and mind-set as we continue our journey in this world.
Have a great day and all the best to you.


The US Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Bureau of Competition announced the launch of a new Technology Task Force that will investigate anticompetitive conduct, review past transactions, as well as contribute to pending merger reviews. The FTC's investigation of consummated transactions will not be limited to large transactions that meet the HSR filing thresholds, but will also include so-called "non-reportable" transactions. The launch of this task force along with the ongoing FTC Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century is further evidence of US antitrust enforcers' increasing focus on the technology sector.
On February 26, the FTC's Bureau of Competition announced the creation of a Technology Task Force dedicated to monitoring competition in US technology markets. The mandate is expansive allowing for investigations of anticompetitive conduct, mergers and industry practices.
Importantly, the task force is not only charged with aiding in the review of prospective mergers, but also investigating consummated mergers of any size. For consummated mergers, the task force has the authority to reconsider prior matters and seek the full set of remedies (e.g., divestiture, licensing, etc.) that would be available during the review of a prospective transaction.
Patricia Galvan, currently the Deputy Assistant Director of the Mergers III Division, and Krisha Cerilli, currently Counsel to the Director, will lead the task force. Their team includes approximately 17 existing staff attorneys with experience in complex technological markets such as online advertising, social networking and mobile operating systems.
The launch of the Technology Task Force together with the ongoing FTC Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century highlights the FTC's and DOJ's increasing focus on maintaining "free and fair competition" in the technology sector.
FTC Chairman Joseph Simons's prior work at the FTC involved launching the Merger Litigation Task Force, which focused on hospital merger retrospectives, and sharpened the FTC's approach in challenging health care transactions. This appears to be a similar move to sharpen the FTC's knowledge and approach, but now directed at the technology sector.
Technology companies that have recently completed mergers should take care not to draw scrutiny from antitrust enforcers.
Typically, investigations of consummated transactions and anticompetitive conduct will begin with a review of publicly available materials before burdening targets with compulsory process and seeking information from customers, competitors and industry experts.
Upon receiving information requests from the FTC, targets of the investigations should engage quickly to understand the scope and focus of the investigation. An information request likely means the FTC investigation has progressed beyond the initial phase.
Industry participants (competitors, customers) could also receive significant information associated with FTC investigations. Those parties should also engage with the FTC quickly to jointly develop a reasonable plan for addressing the FTC's information requests.

Most states require car owners to have a basic auto insurance policy. This car insurance will consist of liability insurance which will give you minimum coverage in case of an accident in which you or someone who has permission to drive you vehicle is the at fault. This said it is advisable to have more than just liability insurance for your vehicle.
Generally a basic auto insurance policy has six possible types of coverage. These six types of car insurance are bodily injury liability, property damage liability, medical payments or personal injury protection otherwise known as PIP, collision, comprehensive, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
The liability auto insurance policy your state may require you to carry includes bodily injury, property damage, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. The bodily injury part of you car insurance covers the injuries you or someone you have allowed to drive your vehicle inflicts on someone else in an accident. It will pay medical bills and lost wages. The property damage portion of your auto insurance policy pays the damage you or someone driving your car with consent does to someone else's car, fence, lamppost or other physical property. The uninsured or underinsured portion of your car insurance covers you or the designated driver of your car when the other person causes the accident but does not have adequate insurance to cover medical bills and property damage. Something to keep in mind when you purchase your auto insurance policy is that if you do not have enough coverage on your liability portion of the car insurance, you will be held accountable for the remaining expenses and could find yourself in a lawsuit so be sure you have an adequate amount of insurance on your policy.
Collision and comprehensive coverage is not required by the states for the individual auto insurance policy. Collision car insurance covers repairs to your vehicle in an accident. If the cost of the repairs is close to the value of the car, the insurance company may total your car and pay you the cash value. Comprehensive insurance covers other types of damages to your car such as theft, vandalism, acts of nature, collisions with wild animals and fire. This is also the portion of you auto insurance policy which will cover glass breakage. The choice to have car insurance that includes collision or comprehensive is yours. You can lower the costs of these two portions by setting higher deductible levels for either one or both but remember that you will need to come up with the money to cover that deductible when and if you ever need it.
Medical payments and PIP are two other types of car insurance you may opt for. The medical payments portion of your auto insurance policy will cover the medical expenses you and passengers in your car incur as the result of an accident. They also cover you if you are driving another person's car at the time of the accident. PIP car insurance coverage will cover medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral costs.

The Great Pond Foundation (GPF) has announced in its latest release that the dredging works, undertaken to keep Edgartown Great Pond healthy and clean, are moving ahead.
"Since our last dredge update in January, we have essentially doubled our efforts with the amount of sand moved, and, we have now reached the beach," the February announcement said.

Q: How to return dataset and get the result from dataset in asp.net? How to return dataset and get the result using dataset in asp.net?
first i have a WCF class that contain dataset method, and it returned dataset result
here is my method
            string conString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBCS"].ConnectionString;
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();

        using (con = new SqlConnection(conString))
        {
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spViewMasterTransaction", con);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

            SqlParameter parameterEarlyDate = new SqlParameter();
            parameterEarlyDate.ParameterName = "@earlyDate";
            parameterEarlyDate.Value = earlyDate;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(parameterEarlyDate);

            SqlParameter parameterLateDate = new SqlParameter();
            parameterLateDate.ParameterName = "@lateDate";
            parameterLateDate.Value = lateDate;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(parameterLateDate);

            con.Open();

            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
            da.SelectCommand = cmd;
            da.Fill(ds, "Master");
        }

        return ds;

it returned a dataset result, i used it in my datagridview, but i want to used it in my crystalreport, of course i can't use it just like how i used in winform datagridview, i think i have to catch the dataset value that returned from my wcf and store it in my client dataset.. how to do this? since, the asp.net doesn't have dataset component like winform?

A: With CrystalReports you need to work with DataTables not DataSets
You can do something like this on your cs file:
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;

    ReportDocument rptDoc = new ReportDocument();

    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            // Get the DataTable form the DataSet
            DataTable dt = yourDataSet.Tables[0];  // Or use the table name like this yourDataSet.Tables["TableName"];

            string reportPath = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/CrystalReport1.rpt");
            rptDoc.Load(reportPath);
            rptDoc.SetDataSource(dt);
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptDoc;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            lblErrMsg.Text = ex.Message;
        }
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            // Clear error message if any.
            lblErrMsg.Text = "";

            // Crystal Report Fill
            DataTable dt = yourDataSet.Tables[0];
            rptDoc.SetDataSource(dt);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            lblErrMsg.Text = ex.Message;
        }
    }

    protected void Page_UnLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            this.CrystalReportViewer1.Dispose();
            this.CrystalReportViewer1 = null;
            rptDoc.Close();
            rptDoc.Dispose();
            rptDoc = null;
            GC.Collect();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            lblErrMsg.Text = ex.Message;
        }
    }

And in your aspx file add something like this:
    <%@ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>

    <CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server"
        AutoDataBind="True" DisplayStatusbar="False"
        EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt="False" EnableDrillDown="False"
        EnableParameterPrompt="False" EnableTheming="False" EnableToolTips="False"
        GroupTreeStyle-ShowLines="False" HasDrilldownTabs="False"
        HasDrillUpButton="False" HasGotoPageButton="False"
        HasPageNavigationButtons="False" HasSearchButton="False" Height="894px"
        SeparatePages="False" ToolPanelView="None" Width="918px"
        GroupTreeImagesFolderUrl="" ReportSourceID="CrystalReportSource1"
        ToolbarImagesFolderUrl="" ToolPanelWidth="200px"
        HasToggleGroupTreeButton="False" HasToggleParameterPanelButton="False" />
    <CR:CrystalReportSource ID="CrystalReportSource1" runat="server">
        <Report FileName="App_Data\CrystalReport1.rpt">
        </Report>
    </CR:CrystalReportSource>

I hope it helps.

I just got on the train to Kalmar. We should depart in about 10 minutes. The monitors in the station tell you which cars are going to which destinations. Not all the cars on this train are going to Kalmar, only 11 and 14. I got on one of the cars that I thought was marked Vogn 11, but then after I sat down and got comfortable, I looked up at the posted message and it said Vogn 24. It's a good thing I paid attention or I'd be at the airport in 20 minutes waiting for a later train to Kalmar. This car clearly states "Tog mod Kalmar C, Vogn 11," so I'm good.
After I got off the train, I saw the two Danish girls who were listening to all this drivel, and I went up to them and told them not to believe everything they were hearing. They laughed. Frankly, it's hard to imagine Danes buying any of that anyway. From the handful of people I've spoken to in the last few days, I've gotten the clear impression that the Danish social welfare system is very popular and not going anywhere. The countries that are in trouble and cutting government programs (like Greece, Italy, and Spain) are ones that spent on those programs without taxing the people to pay for them.
For the second transportation snafu of my trip, when the train got to Alvesta, which is about 120 km short of Kalmar, they announced that due to construction or some other problem, we all had to get off the train and take a bus. Of course, I didn't understand the announcement, but the woman sitting opposite me explained the situation. We ended up riding on the bus for about 45 minutes, and then we all got off the bus and back on another train to go the rest of the way to Kalmar.
This will get us to Kalmar about 45 minutes behind schedule. At least I'm glad I didn't decide to take a later train. We should be in Kalmar by 21:30.
And on Sunday, when I head to Stockholm, I have to change in Alvesta, so that probably means I will have the same complication to deal with.
Travel is supposed to be an adventure. This just makes it more of one than I was looking for.
At least it was a nice day for a ferry ride.

Alumnus, longtime employee helps launch public art tribute to staff
By Safiya Merchant
The University Record
As the University of Michigan celebrates its bicentennial, one longtime U-M staff member is making a commitment to honor staff contributions throughout the university's history.
For more than 50 years, U-M has been a home for Jagdish Janveja, a project director in Architecture, Engineering and Construction. After emigrating from India and graduating from U-M, he began his career at the university as a civil engineer in the 1960s.
Although he originally believed he would move back to India after 18 months, Janveja's adoration for the university blossomed, inspiring him to stay.
"I decided, 'No, I love this place, I love the university atmosphere,'" Janveja, now 80, said. "And I just stayed on."

Janveja is now using his passion for the university to help fund a public art tribute on campus that will honor the enduring work and support of U-M staff — past, present and future.
As part of the bicentennial, the Office of the President and Voices of the Staff are sponsoring the public art project, which will honor staff universitywide, from administrative assistants and information technology professionals to dining hall chefs and health care workers.
The conversation to create a public tribute for staff began among Voices of the Staff members, said Diane Vasquez, the group's co-founder and director of human resource operations. That conversation grew into a partnership with the Office of the President to bring artwork to campus that celebrates the dedication and contributions of staff.
The artwork will be chosen in consultation with Voices of the Staff and will be subject to the approval process overseen by the President's Advisory Committee on Public Art. It will be placed in a prominent location, and the site will be based on the nature of the artwork and the funds available.
A lover of outdoor art, Janveja has provided seed funding of $100,000 for the project, and staff, faculty, students and community members are invited to donate additional funds to support the initiative.
Those who would like to donate can go to myumi.ch/65ngM.
Laurita Thomas, associate vice president for human resources, said the university hopes the public art tribute will instill loyalty and pride among staff and encourage even greater engagement and contribution to the university mission.
"We hope the recognition of the staff's contribution continues the commitment to leaders and best that is Michigan," Thomas said.
Janveja's own commitment U-M started in 1962, when he moved from India to Ann Arbor to complete his bachelor's degree in civil engineering. While finishing his master's degree program in structural engineering, the university offered Janveja a job.
Over the years, Janveja rose through the ranks, from senior civil engineer to his current role as a project director. He's worked on several facilities projects, such as the construction of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and the renovation and expansion of Michigan Stadium.
"I was fortunate to have good superiors who I worked with," Janveja said. "They encouraged, they empowered, and I had full professional freedom."
Several years ago, Janveja started giving back to U-M in another way: by advocating for and funding the installation of outdoor public art on campus. His efforts have left their mark at sites like the Ford Library, Michigan Stadium, Museum of Natural History, Bentley Historical Library, the College of Engineering and the soon-to-be-completed Biological Science Building.
Janveja said it's important to have art on campus because it enriches lives and serves as visual focal points for community members.
Regarding the bicentennial public art tribute for staff, Janveja said staff are the supporting actors on campus that aim to create the atmosphere conducive for teaching, research and public service.
But while several honors and awards are available to faculty and students, he added, staff members sometimes get lost in the background.
The public art tribute for staff is designed to change that.
"I think they will feel proud that their efforts and their hard work is recognized and it's being commemorated," Janveja said.
Even after more than 50 years of service, Janveja's passion for U-M is as strong as ever. He said he still enjoys working and currently has no plans to retire from the university that's become an extension of his home.
"It has enriched my life, my family's life," he said. "I love this place. 'Go Blue' is in my blood."

Will public art include the erection of state and federal historic markers honoring the accomplishments of this University's staff and students?

Thank you for this wonderful gift. It will be an honor for staff. You mention "staff, faculty, students and community members. There are 9,800 + living retirees from this great University, are they included. I note you are not yet a retiree as you continue to work but there are many retired staff who would also like to be honored for their many years of service to the University.
Patricia: Thanks for your comment. Your concern is addressed in the the story, and highlighted below:
