The below link may help to get some idea about Keyword driven testing.
In case of keyword driven testing, we need to do proper planning and initial huge effort. Anyway it will give benefit of easy maintenance and easily adding more test cases/scenarios.
Here we can change any of the three things to create test steps.
Regarding your question, the framework design will purely based on your requirements and your way of thinking. There is no Solid rule to follow.
Personally, I would like to have my own framework (hybrid framework) designed according to my own requirements.
Anyway, the best practice is, we should create below sub folders in your root folder.
ObjectRepository-> To keep your shared object repositories.
Datatables->To keep QTP data tables and external Excel sheets.
RecoveryScenario ->To keep your recovery scenario files.
Tests-> You can keep your QTP Tests here. You may include Test containing Reusable Actions here. And a Test which is getting used as driver script can also be stored here.
library->you can keep your vbs file which contains vbscript functions.
Results-> You can store Result files (Either QTP result file or customized result file) here.
Note that the above thing is NOT answer for your question. Just I am trying to explain that there won't be any solid rules/approach for creating QTP framework.
One of readers of our QTP knol has asked about Disadvantages of Descriptive Programming (DP) in QTP.
The main disadvantage of Descriptive programming is Maintenance issue.
Since Object repository will be stored in centralized place, property definition for any Object can be easily changed at any time if the application developer changes the property of the actual object/control.
But, in descriptive programming (DP) it is difficult to change the object property as each QTP developer will be defining object property in many places using DP.
For example, assume that you and team member are developing automation test scripts for testing gmail application.
Gmail login script will be used in many test scenarios.
Assume that you are automating some scenarios and your team member is automating some other scenarios.
In case of Object Repository, you and your team member will be forced to use same object description for login page controls/Objects (e.g username,password, login button).
So in future if Google changes any property (e.g change the button name from "login" to "get into gmail"), all the scenarios can be easily updated just by updating this change in Object repository.
But in case of DP, there is a possibility of defining the login button in multiple places. One definition by you and another by your team team. (Anyway proper Team Coordination will avoid this issue, but practically it is very difficult to achieve this coordination.).
So, comparatively updating DP style coding is bit difficult if the application properties got changed.
We have included new features to our Quiz.
Most of the changes are in Admin and Quiz Creator logins. We will provide more features for Users in our next release.
You can see the Quiz results of other Users to know about Popular Quiz Topic.
Quiz Creators are provided many options such as searching existing questions using Keyword and based on Quiz Creator.
Our next release will mainly focus on displaying links of relevant articles if the User's Quiz score is less in particular area.
Say for example, if an user attends PHP Quiz, and he made many wrong answers for php array related questions, our code will find good articles related to php array and will display the links for them at end of the Quiz.
In my many previous posts, I have explained about using setAttribute method for dynamically creating Webpages.
But we faced some issues when we tried to use setAttribute for dynamically changing the CSS style class name for a div tag.
i-e We tried to use below code for setting "current" as CSS style class for a div tag with id "desc"
The above code worked in FireFox. But it didn't work in IE (Internet Explorer).
We came to know that we should use 'className' instead of 'class' in IE.

max-width is the property used for limiting the width of the image to predefined value. So it will help to show small sized pictures to display in their original size while resizing the large-sized images into a predefined maximum width.
By doing this we can keep avoid any misalignment of web page due to large-sized images while keeping quality of small-sized images.
But this max-width property won't work in IE 6(Internet Explorer 6).
So we can use the below workaround to make it work in IE6 also. The below style will limit the image width to 300px.
Today we can see that the Google Doodle logo is showing an image representing electromagnetism. Google is showing this image for celebrating birthday of Hans Christian Ørsted. who was born on August 14 1777. For many his name is not known but one of his experiments was instrumental in the development of electricity.
He is a Danish physicist & chemist.
He has initiated the concept of electromagnetism. i-e He found that there is some relation between magnetism and electricity.
It is the basis for invention of Electricity Generators and Transformers.
According to the national Museum of Denmark, Ørsted is poet too. He actively contributed to the modernisation of the Danish language.
It seems Google is showing interest to spread knowledge/information about historic persons and Scientists.
Guardian says that "Probably not even the physics geeks remember much about Hans Christian Ørsted, although Google's Doodle logo illustrates his key discovery"
Mashtable says "Google's "doodles", their creative renderings of the Google logo celebrating famous figures and significant events, have the ability to draw worldwide attention to under-appreciated historical figures".
You can read more about Orsted from Wikipedia..
The basics of electromagnetism is "A changing magnetic field produces an electric field and similarly, a changing electric field generates a magnetic field.
Google has announced that it will acquire On2, a leading developer of video compression technology for $106 Million.
"Today video is an essential part of the web experience, and we believe high-quality video compression technology should be a part of the web platform" said Sundar Pichai, Vice President, Product Management, Google.
"We're thrilled that On2 is joining one of the world's most innovative companies" said Matt Frost, interim CEO of On2.
Google has decided to acquire On2 for improving performance, quality and effectiveness of YouTube in HTML5 capable browsers.
We know that HTML5 is supporting <video> tag which has the potential to liberate streaming Internet video from plugin prison.
There is an expectation that Google will decide to open-source On2's VP7 and VP8 video codecs, and it will become an alternative to the proprietary and licenced H264 codecs.
Goolge may force its users to upgrade to HTML5-compliant browsers instead of using Flash formats.
So it will give double benefits for Google, one is improved YouTube performance, another is promoting Chrome which is already HTML5 compliant browser.
And,On2's video compression technology also extends into the mobile electronics world of gadgets. So it will help Google to promote its Android against Apple iPhone.
YouTube is having test page for showing demo video in HTML5 capable browsers.
What does Google see in On2's video tech?
Why Google wants to acquire On2 Technologies?
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has sent letter to Apple for asking reason for its ban on Google Voice and other Voice related Google applications in iPhone.
And, FCC has asked more details about this issue from AT&T and Goolge.
Find below the content of letter sent to Apple.
By seeing this url we can understand that this site is developed using php, and we can understand coding/database table upto some extent. For example, if you change id value to some invalid value instead of 10 we will get some error message/query which may give some details about database table.
So, the hackers can easily attack this server.
Assume that this url is used for showing article about "computers", the search engines such as Google and Yahoo are not having any clue to show this topic when user searches "computers".
And, many Search engines won't index this page, because they couldn't read the url after the "?" mark.
Similarly for users also it is difficult to remember that the id "10" is for showing the topic "computers".
mod_rewrite extension of Apache can be used for making this url into another format which will be more safe, search engine friendly and user friendly.
This new format will be user-friendly. Because, the user can easily select/identify this url from browser address bar if they have already visited this url.
It will be search-engine friendly, because there is no "?" in this url, and it includes keyword "computers".
It will be more secure, because the attacker can not predict the technology (php or asp) used for developing this url.
Mod_rewrite is really powerful if you are familiar with the regular expressions.
mod_rewrite should be enabled in your apache server for creating this SEO friendly url or pretty url.
You can verify it by displaying phpinfo(); in a php file. If it enabled then mod_rewrite will show as loaded module in phpinfo.
If it is not enabled, you should enable it by doing below steps.
First you need to create a file called .htaccess and place it exactly in the folder where you want the rewriting to take effect (it will also take effect over all subfolders).
* In case you already have a .htaccess file you can simply add the lines to it (if it already has mode_rewrite directives you can mess them however).
Here "RewriteRule" is static text, i.e. you should not change. "rewrite_from" is the address which will be typed in the browser and "rewrite_to" - which page the server will actually activate.
Below are some examples which should make the working of mod_rewrite clearer.
www.domain.com/index.php but you want to pretty url like this for SEO friendly, www.domain.com/index.html.
- L Tells Apache to not process any more RewriteRules if this one was successful.
Lets go to see if the urls have query string parameter, how to handle it.
We should start from more specific condition and should end with more general condition while writing regular expressions.
We used mod_rewrite for creating pretty url in our score results project.
Some hosting companies won't enable mod_rewrite in their servers. So, in this case we can not use Apache mod_rewrite for creating SEO friendly urls.
In this case, PHP rewrite can be used as mod_rewrite.
Find below some other articles about mod_rewrite.


I had macco company with me on the night of my first visit to Tokyo. She was friendly, and worked hard on finding an unique wagyu beef restaurant for me. She helped me to navigate Ginza, the tour was great. Her English is great, having great passion about food, during the food tour we had great conversations. I highly recommend her.
Thank you for your comment :) I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the dinner. I also had a great time with you! Thank you so much for being my first customer on TripleLights. Hope to see you again sometime.

Q: Training a basic neural network that takes in a sequence of frame/number pairs and generates new numbers upon being given a new sequence of frames I am very new to this topic so I am unsure about where to start with this task. I have a large amount of training data with is basically just a sequence of pictureframes with a number corresponding to each one. The sequence itself is kind of like a video that only changes bit by bit, which is also reflected in the corresponding numbers which never make any sort of "big jumps" and also only slowly change depending on various factors, such as speed at which the pixels change or at which pixels that once entered the screen exit again.
I have already tried looking up ways to set this up using keras, but a lot of the terminology and syntax is still foreign to me which is why i am unsure as to where to look for examples I could use for my particular problem.

A: Try using tensorflow instead:
#We start by importing everything that we will need

import tensorflow #This will train our model
import pandas    #Pandas is to read the data
import keras
import numpy    #Numpy will build the matrices
import sklearn    #sklearn is to choose the model that we will be using
from sklearn import linear_model
from sklearn.utils import shuffle
import matplotlib.pyplot as pyplot
import pickle    #pickle is used to save the model
from matplotlib import style

data = pandas.readcsv("path to the data", sep = ';') #You need to change the sep = ';'
#if your data is not separated with a ';'
data = data["Whatever","Label","you want","to include"]

predict = ["Label you want to predict"]

x = numpy.array(data.drop([predict], 1))
y = numpy.array(data[predict])

x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split(x, y,
test_size=0.3)

linear = linear_model.LinearRegression()
linear.fit(x_train, y_train)
acc = linear.score(x_test, y_test)
print(acc)

predictions = linear.predict[x_test]

for x in range(len(predictions)):
    print("Prediction:", predictions[x], "reality:", y_test[x]

Excessivism  is an art movement. In 2015 American artist and curator Kaloust Guedel introduced it to the world with an exhibition titled Excessivist Initiative.
The review of the exhibition written by art critic and curator Shana Nys Dambrot, titled "Excessivism: Irony, Imbalance and a New Rococo" was published in the Huffington Post. Its early adopters go back to late 20th century.

Concept

Excessivism is a reflection, examination, or investigation of every aspect of life in excessive state with particular consideration of areas that have real and consequential effect on members of society.  Subject areas include, but are not limited to, economics, politics and psychology. Its economic criticism is a commentary on economic materialism. It reflects, examines and investigates the excessive desire to acquire material goods beyond one's needs (and often means).

Excessivism depicts the excessive use of resources in an exaggerated way using two- or three-dimensional visual creations, written or spoken words, or in any other medium. It aims to reflect, examine, or investigate the capitalist system, devoid of aesthetic, legal, commercial, ethical, moral, racial, or religious considerations.

History

The inaugural exhibition of Excessivism took place in LA Artcore Brewery Annex gallery with the title "Excessivist Initiative". And the Excessivism Manifesto was published in Downtown News weekly in September 2015. According to an art critic Shana Nys Dambrot, the idea was conceived in the studio of the founder based on his personal realizations of his relationship as a consumer with the capitalist environment.  Excessivism was introduced to the Los Angeles art scene in November 2014 in the Red Pipe gallery in an  exhibition titled Excess The New Norm. It was curated by art critic, publisher and curator Mat Gleason.

The inaugural exhibition included works by Brett Baker, Christophe Baudson, Andrew Dadson, Ian Davenport, Jonas Etter, Kaloust Guedel, Don Harger, Zhu Jinshi, Fabian Marcacio, Roxy Paine, Scott Richter, Samvel Saghatelian, Elizabeth Sheppell, Michael Toenges, Michael Villarreal, Danh Vō, Cullen Washington, Jr., Brigid Watson, Leslie Wayne, Ai Weiwei and Zadik Zadikian.

By 2019, Excessivism expanded beyond visual forms to include fashion and music.

In the year of 1910, writer and critic Roland Dorgelès submitted three paintings under the name of Joachim-Raphaël Boronali from Genoa to the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, as if it were part of the "Excessivism" movement, which did not exist. The paintings were produced by Roland Dorgelès and a few other jokesters by attaching a paintbrush to the tail of a donkey named Lolo. At the time, the hoax was taken seriously by Paris art critics.

Yachting and boating often involves transporting gear and equipment. It could be fishing gear or boat equipment or more serious gadgets and scientific tools. Whatever the cargo, you'll need a protective storage box that is tough, rustproof and most of all – water resistant.
If you've looked at the boat storage solutions available on the market, you may be overwhelmed by the choice on offer. It's not easy to find a reliable boat box that is affordable and looks professional.
Plastic boxes are good but can be a little unreliable. They are cheap and easy to get hold of. However they are not guaranteed to last long, and may not be watertight. The other consideration is that many of us are trying to reduce the amount of plastic already littering the world's oceans.
Drybags are a great way to keep your gear dry, but offer no protection from bumps and bangs, so are not ideal for expensive and fragile equipment.
The K470 aluminium box from Zarges is the ultimate choice for onboard storage. It's watertight and dustproof thanks to the foam seal. The boxes have been tested in the toughest of conditions and always keep contents dry.
These protective boxes are made from high quality aluminium with stainless steel hinges and full riveted joints which means that they are lightweight, but extremely tough – capable of withstanding even the biggest storm.
Zarges aluminium cases will not degrade or corrode in contact with sea water thanks to their durable construction. Optional extras include secure locks and bespoke foam inserts for packing. Great options for leaving gear on board the boat overnight.
Zarges aluminium cases are the number one choice for yachting and boat enthusiasts all over the world. They look great and they do the job – keeping your gear safe, secure and most importantly – dry, in even extreme conditions.

Elizabeth Southerden Thompson (3 November 1846 – 2 October 1933), later known as Lady Butler, was a British painter who specialised in painting scenes from British military campaigns and battles, including the Crimean War and the Napoleonic Wars. Her notable works include The Roll Call (purchased by Queen Victoria), The Defence of Rorke's Drift, and Scotland Forever! (showing the Scots Greys at Waterloo).  She wrote about her military paintings in an autobiography published in 1922: "I never painted for the glory of war, but to portray its pathos and heroism." She was married to British Army officer Sir William Butler, becoming Lady Butler after he was knighted.

Early life and education
Born at the Villa Claremont in Lausanne, Switzerland, Butler was the daughter of Thomas James Thompson (1812–1881) and his second wife, Christiana Weller (1825–1910). Her sister was the noted essayist and poet Alice Meynell. Elizabeth began receiving art instruction in 1862, while growing up in Italy. In 1866, she entered the Female School of Art in South Kensington in London. She began exhibiting her artwork, usually watercolours, as a student. In 1867, one watercolour, Bavarian Artillery Going into Action, was shown at the Dudley Gallery, one of the galleries preferred by women artists. The same year, she exhibited an oil painting, Horses in Sunshine, at the Society of Female Artists.

She became a Roman Catholic along with the rest of her family after they moved to Florence in 1869. While in Florence, under the tutelage of the artist Giuseppe Bellucci (1827–1882), she attended the Accademia di Belle Arti. She signed her works as E.B., Elizth. Thompson, or Mimi Thompson (she was called "Mimi" from her childhood).

Artistic career
Initially, Butler concentrated on religious subjects like The Magnificat (1872), but upon going to Paris in 1870, she was exposed to battle scenes from Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier and Édouard Detaille, and switched her focus to war paintings. With the painting Missing (1873), a Franco-Prussian War battle scene depicting the common soldiers' suffering and heroism, she earned her first submission to the Royal Academy. Butler's painting The Roll Call, which depicted a line of soldiers worn out with conflict, was shown in 1874 at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and became so popular that a policeman had to be stationed next to the painting in order to regulate the crowds that came to see it. Butler wrote that after the opening of the Summer Exhibition, she awoke to find herself famous.

Her fame increased as the paintings toured Europe, along with photographs of Elizabeth. She gained even more notice because people found out that she was both young and pretty, something normally not associated with painters of battle scenes. It also helped that during this time, there was a huge swell of Victorian pride and romanticism for the growing British Empire. While Lady Butler's topics reflected such romanticism, her paintings were generally realistic in detail, with aspects such as confusion, mud and exhaustion being accurately portrayed.  Her works tend to focus on British troops shown in action, or shortly after it, but avoiding scenes of hand-to-hand combat.  The troops are often shown as their opponents might have seen them, but relatively few of the opponents themselves are shown.

In 1879, Butler came within two votes of becoming the first woman to be elected as an Associate Member of the Royal Academy (apart from two founder Members, Mary Moser and Angelica Kauffman; ultimately, the first female Associate Member was Annie Swynnerton, elected in 1922, and the first full Member was Laura Knight in 1936).

After her marriage in 1877 to William Francis Butler, a distinguished officer of the British Army, from Tipperary, Ireland, Butler travelled to the far reaches of the Empire with her husband and raised their six children. Butler also did some black and white illustrations, including of poems by her sister, Alice Meynell, and of works by Thackeray. She exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Her daughter, Elizabeth Butler, married Lt.-Col. Randolph Albert Fitzhardinge Kingscote (b. 6 Feb 1867, d. 8 Dec 1940) on 24 July 1903.

Later life and death
On her husband's retirement from the army, she moved with him to Ireland, where they lived at Bansha Castle, County Tipperary. She showed pictures at the Royal Hibernian Academy from 1892. Among the paintings that she took with her to County Tipperary was a set of water-colours that she had painted while with her husband in Palestine. During the Irish Civil War they were transferred to her daughter in Gormanston Castle for safekeeping, but were almost all destroyed later by German bombs in London during the Second World War.

Lady Butler was widowed in 1910, but continued to live at Bansha until 1922, when she took up residence with the youngest of her six children, Eileen, Viscountess Gormanston, at Gormanston Castle, County Meath. She died there shortly before her 87th birthday and was interred at nearby Stamullen graveyard.

Butler was included in the 2018 exhibit Women in Paris 1850–1900.

Tripura govt to offer jobs to next of kin of those lost in political violence
Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath said the state cabinet had decided to provide government jobs to the next of kin of those who lost their lives in political violence till March 2018.

In an effort to provide relief to the victims of political violence perpetrated till March 2018 when the incumbent BJP-IPFT assumed power in Tripura, the state government has announced a new scheme to provide government jobs to any one member of such families, provided they meet a set of requisite criteria.
Speaking to reporters in Agartala Saturday, Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath said the state cabinet, in a recent meeting, had decided to provide government jobs to the next of kin of those who lost their lives in political violence till March 2018, as per their academic qualifications and eligibility on a set of requisite criteria.
"We received a slew of applications for government jobs from such families across Tripura after forming the government in 2018. Keeping these people in mind, we have resolved to scrutinise these applications and provide them jobs," Nath said.
A six-member committee, headed by Nath himself, was formed on December 22 to look into the applications. Information and Cultural Affairs Director and Secretary, law secretary, Inspector General of Tripura Police and Home Department officials are also part of the panel.
The committee examined 10 applications in its first meeting on Thursday, of which seven were found eligible. Of these, six were recommended to undergo the necessary formalities before jobs are handed out, while one was found short of the requisite educational qualification.
"His issue will be discussed in the cabinet to decide whether we should provide financial assistance or make a one-time relaxation for employment," the minister informed.

For those who want to apply for the scheme, application forms will be available at SDM offices across the state. Applicants will need to submit proof of birth, permanent residence, educational qualification, caste and death certificates of relatives lost in political violence. A no objection certificate from other relatives, ratifying the applicant's claim, would also be needed.
The scheme comes in the midst of allegations of widespread political violence against opposition CPIM supporters since the BJP-led government came to power. While the scheme rolls out benefits for those who suffered from political violence till 2018, it hasn't spoken about violence thereafter.

There are several reasons which make the real service life of the battery be shorter than the estimated lifespan. Among them, and to a great extent, the generation and build-up of lead sulphate and its subsequent crystalline structure; but also, the reduction in the electrolytes caused by electrolysis, the corrosion or short-circuits of the electrodes, and the loss of active materials.
Maroo MCS restoration equipment acts on the battery by using electrical properties in order to reverse its degradation, which is basically due to the build-up of sulphate on the electrodes.
Our restoration technology is based on the rectification of the alternating wave and the generation of pulses at twice the frequency with an angle determined and calibrated by the software. The result is the crazing of lead sulphate crystals and their conversion, again, into active material; what leads to the recovery of a great deal of its capacity.
With regard to the replacement of batteries, by extending their initial service life.
With regard to maintenance costs, by showing a more homogeneous and accurate performance.
With regard to the repair of the equipment, by reducing technical problems.
With regard to the expenditure on materials, by reducing the replacement of the components.
With regard to labour costs, by achieving maximum productivity in all aspects.
With regard to waste treatment, by significantly reducing the amount of waste.
With regard to energy costs, by decreasing charge times and reducing their number.
It is the best option when dealing with old batteries which are operating below their optimum level and whose necessary level of performance is not being achieved due to their high degree of sulphation.
This option can also be applied to bring back to life those batteries which have not being used for a while and have lost part of their charge capacity.
This graph shows the recovery of the capacity and, consequently, the durability of a battery after being subjected to a recovery restored battery.
Through a maintenance programme which carries out restorations on a regular basis (e.g.: one year), it is possible not only to double or, in some cases, even triple the service life of the batteries, but also to constantly keep them at a high level of performance.
With regard to new batteries, a maintenance schedule suitable to their duty cycles is strongly recommended. By following this schedule, you will obtain a faster charge, less electricity consumption, and less number of replacements.
This graph shows the progression of the performance and durability of a battery subjected to a maintenance schedule carried out with our restoration system.

NBA MVP
With last years MVP sidelined for the majority of the first quarter of the NBA season, it is safe to say that we will have a new winner of the Maurice Podoloff Trophy for the 2014-15 year. While I am sure that Kevin Durant will return to his natural form and be a dominant player once again, he just won't have enough time this season to bolster the stats that an MVP needs. This news opens the door for some old familiar faces to regain their seat on top of the throne or even maybe some new blood making their mark in NBA history.
Some people say that the MVP award is a meaningless popularity contest, but the truth of the matter is that anyone who has won the MVP award has made it into the Basketball Hall of Fame (this obviously only includes the HOF eligible players). Here are our Top 5 candidates to claim their place among the best of the best for this season based on how they have performed through the first 20+ games.
1. Stephen Curry (23.5 PPG, 7.6 APG, 5.2 RPG, 1.9 SPG)
The above stat line alone is enough to prove Curry's skills. Steph is currently in the top 10 in the NBA in points (5th), assists (6th) and steals (8th). How about the fact that he is the best player on the team with the best record in the NBA. If you are like me and are addicted to the NBA League Pass, then you probably watch as much Warriors games as possible due to their exciting nature of game play. I haven't enjoyed watching a team in the NBA play as much as these Warriors since the high-flying Chris Webber led Sacramento Kings 15 years ago. The "Splash Brothers" (Steph and Klay) are taking the NBA by storm and it doesn't seem like anyone can slow them down. If the Warriors can finish as strong as they have started then there is no doubt in my mind that Curry will be this years MVP.
2. James Harden (26.3 PPG, 6.7 APG, 6.4 RPG, 2.0 SPG, 1.1 BPG)
I will start by saying that I have never really been a big fan of Harden's game style. Having said that, what he has done in the first 20+ games of this season has been nothing short of incredible. With the softest big man in the game, Dwight Howard, being sidelined for most of the beginning of the season due to "knee soreness," Harden has stepped up and helped lead the Rockets to an 18-5 start (third best in the NBA). While outside of Kobe Bryant, I feel Harden is the biggest chucker the game has to offer, he has still provided a huge lift for his team. He doesn't play much defense but he does fill the passing lane as well as anyone else in the game. His assist and rebound numbers are admirable for a selfish shooting guard like himself. He shoots a ridiculous amount of free throws a game which helps raise his PPG but if he ever wants to win the trophy that his former teammate did last year, he better tighten up his turnovers (4.2/game) and his shooting percentage (41%).
3. LeBron James (25.6 PPG, 7.8 APG, 5.5 RPG, 1.4 SPG)
The craziest thing about The King's stat line through the first quarter of the season is that he is actually below his career averages in pretty much every major category outside of assists. Even with this "slow" start, LeBron is still dominating in a way that only he can. His Cavaliers have seemed like they figured out their early season struggles and now they are starting to look like a younger, faster, more talented version of last years Miami Heat. James has worked diligently on perfecting his game management, and while his turnover numbers are nothing to brag about his assists (7.8/game) are his highest in five years. With any dips in Harden's or Curry's games, LeBron will be reeling in his 5th MYP award assuming that my 4th MVP pick doesn't continue his historic start.
4. Anthony Davis (24.6 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 2.7 BPG, 1.8 SPG)
We all knew that one day Uni-brow Davis would be one of the best players in the game. What we didn't know is that it would happen so quickly. If the Hornets had a slightly better record than 12-12 I might have put Davis higher on this list. Whether Davis gets his first MVP award or not this year, I can guarantee one thing and that is that Davis will hands-down be the Defensive Player of the Year. The offensive arsenal that Davis has along with his ability to make his opponents look foolish on the defensive end makes him one of the best franchise players in the game. I would go on to argue that Davis is the best #1 pick of the draft since Lebron. If New Orleans can stay healthy as a team and Davis can continue his torrid run, there is a distinct possibility that AD can hoist the MVP trophy come years end.
5. Marc Gasol (19.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 3.8 APG, 1.7 BPG, 1.0 SPG)
While my top 4 picks seem to make Gasol's numbers look mediocre, the fact of the matter is that Gasol probably means more to his respective teams success than the rest of my top 5 do. Let's try to forget about the fact that Gasol just lead his team to a very impressive victory over the 1st place Warriors to end their 16 game winning streak. Gasol is a hard-nosed athlete that does all the little things to go along with all the massive things he brings to his team. A perfect nickname for Gasol would be Mr. Fundamental but since Tim Duncan already owns that moniker, I will coin Gasol's new nickname. I shall dub him Mr. Essential! He scores, he rebounds, he shuts down some of the best big men in the game and he does all this while rarely ever being recognized. It's a long shot for him but who's to say that Marc can't claim the best of the best prize this year.
It is still extremely early in the season and these top 5 can change in an instance. I want to know if you agree or disagree with any of my picks. Let's see what my list looks like in 20 games.

Wooden Ship offers visa preparation services for artists traveling to the US. You need to try to give us at least 5 months to prepare the visa for regular processing and 3 months for Premium Processing. They are issuing more Requests for Evidence then ever and the Union is taking longer. Artists from Europe also have to figure in the time to get a Consular appointment and for them to send the passports back by Courier. These times vary from consulate to consulate. Canadians can pick their visas up at the Port of Entry so there is a bit more leeway time.
Read the artistsfromabroad.org website before firing a lot of questions at us. Understanding the process is 1/2 the battle and the artist's responsibility. the visa categories and requirements are clearly spelled out on the artistsfromabroad.org and the USCIS web sites. Please understand these categories and be realistic as to whether you really fit either a P-1, P-3 or O-1 category.
Coordinating the material in a cohesive manner, but this does not mean that I prepare or collect the material for you. I can assist you with getting letters if needed. We send one complete copy to the AF of M for a Consultation and two complete copies to the USCIS.
If the USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE) after receiving the petition we will do everything in our power to answer their questions and hopefully get the visa approved. This will be easier to do if the material requested can be quickly gathered and in fact we will not receive the RFE if all the requested material is available and submitted with the original filing.
If the petition is not approved within 5 weeks (Europeans) 4 weeks (Canadians) of your arrival in the US you need to be prepared to pay Premium Processing, which is an additional $1410. If this becomes necessary I will see the process through as well as answering any governmental inquiries for more information.
We are accepting PayPal but please use the button for friends and family so we are not charged a fee. We also accept checks from Canada drawn on US funds from a US bank routing number and bank transfers.
Signed contract with Wooden Ship Productions as the petitioner giving WSP permission to do business for you for matters relating to visa concerns and to accept service on your behalf. If represented by an Agent we need a contract with them as well as a copy of your agency agreement. we will. We can prepare these contracts for you.
Acting agent letter I/we, the undersigned, intend to hire the services of (artist name)to perform in the United States, and authorize Robyn Boyd of Wooden Ship Productions to act for and in my/our place as agent for the limited purpose of filing a petition to obtain the necessary U.S. work-related visa classification for said artist/group.
You should have at least five letters from anyone in your country or the US who can attest to the fact that you are a representative of your own culture and therefore culturally unique. There should be at least a paragraph outlining the person's credentials in being able to write the letter and they must be signed!!!!!
Itinerary which has to be in the form below.
Please do not send incomplete information. Missing information will add to the time to get the visa to the USCIS If I have to take the time to create an Itinerary there will be a $50 charge for my time.
Please use a text document, not a spreadsheet for printing purposes.
Promo (not CDS or pictures) keep it simple and impressive. CD covers, Reviews, Articles, Bios… are best. All articles need to be in their original form. or a download that shows the web site you are using.
First the USCIS approves the visa. When we receive the Approval Notice we will email you a PDF copy and mail the original to you.
Second the State Dept Consulate, in what ever country you choose to make an appointment, no matter what Consulate is on the Approval Notice, issues the visa. You must do the appropriate paperwork on line and pay the $195 in US currency in order to make the appointment.
Canadians do not need a consular appointment and need to bring their Approval to the border and then it is up to the customs and Border Officer is responsible for allowing you to enter the US.


This story was created by a youth in one of our programs!
"Clean your room Daniel", Daniel's mom screamed from the kitchen. Daniel was seventeen years old and dreamed of being in the air force. Daniel lived with his mom in an old house made out of bricks. He had being training two years doing, push-ups, sit-ups, and running laps. He was waiting two and a half more months so he could join.
The days went by like a dream. Finally he departed from his house leaving his mom behind. When he arrived at the air force he asked himself if he was up to the challenge. He went to the office and started the inscription. The days passed and his counselor encouraged him to keep trying and never stop until he achieved his dream. All the years passed by and he was still working with all his might. He knew that all this hard work was going to pay off on day. Until one day he had become what he wanted to be, the leader of his company.
When he arrived home it was a coincidence that it was mothers day. He took an airplane borrowed from the air force and wrote happy mothers day in the sky. His mom was so happy that she started to cry.


An excellent sample preparation is key for observing the finest textures and details on the sample surface in high resolution. The right workflow and tools for the pre-preparation will not only lead to an excellently prepared sample, it will also reduce the procedure time, streamline the workflow, and produce reliable and precise results. The Leica solution consists of several instruments that are perfectly geared to one another to form a seamless workflow for your sample preparation. So be prepared for better results with Leica Microsystems in less time!
Contact our team of experts to help you simplify your sample preparation.
For materials science, quality and speed are not a trade-off when it comes to sample preparation, as one might think at first. Like in other areas of material processing, appropriate tool changeover when switching from pre-work to finishing helps to speed up and better control the subsequent procedure.
The EM TXP system from Leica Microsystems is a dedicated tool for target surfacing of samples prior to examination. It is the right choice to get close to the area of interest for final preparation. The EM TXP system offers milling, sawing, grinding, and polishing all in one instrument. It excels with challenging specimens making pinpointing and preparing barely visible targets easy. The integrated stereomicroscope allows for direct surface finish and target examination.
If you require high quality surfacing, use the EM TIC 3X ion beam milling machine after mechanical cutting and polishing. Thanks to the pre-processing, you save significant time for final preparation with the ion beam. Position the wedge mask very close to the target area and use the ion beam milling process mainly to get rid of any residual artefacts from the mechanical preparation steps.
The EM TIC 3X milling machine allows the production of cross sections and plane surfaces for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Microstructure Analysis (EDS, WDS, Auger, EBSD), AFM, and Incident Light Microscopy investigation.
If you plan to prepare sections of a perfectly shaped block face samples with sharp edges, the pre-processing with the EM TXP or EM TRIM2 or EM RAPID milling machine has a considerable influence on the surface quality of materials. The EM UC7 Ultramicrotome from Leica provides easy preparation of semi- and ultrathin sections, as well as samples with very smooth surfaces for TEM, SEM, AFM and LM examination.
Low or non-conductive sample materials, like ceramic or polymers, require carbon or metal coating for SEM and TEM imaging methods. A versatile carbon coater, like the EM ACE600 from Leica, provides ultrathin carbon support films for atomic resolution imaging. A conductive coating of uniform thickness prevents the accumulation of charge on the sample and provides adequate strength to withstand electron bombardment. The EM ACE600 high vacuum coater can be configured for: Sputtering, Carbon thread evaporation, Carbon rod evaporation, E-beam Evaporation, and Glow discharge.

An 88-Year First: Democrats Defend All Their Senate Seats While Holding White House
Jonathan Nicholson
December 7, 2022, 7:11 p.m. ·2 min read
When he ran for president, Joe Biden touted the need for an "FDR-size presidency" as the nation recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, a prospect he followed through on with the massive American Rescue Plan.
But after Tuesday's midterms elections, Biden shares another distinction with Franklin Delano Roosevelt: being the first president during a midterm where no members of the president's party lost a Senate race in the fall.
With the Sen. Raphael Warnock's victory in Georgia Tuesday night, Senate Democratic incumbents went a perfect 14-0 in the midterms. That's the best performance for them, or a president of any party, since 1934, two years into Roosevelt's first of four presidential terms. (Two Democratic incumbents lost their primaries in 1934 but even those seats remained in Democratic hands.)
And with the flip of Republican Sen. Pat Toomey's seat in Pennsylvania because of John Fetterman's win, Democrats even gained a seat, bringing them to 51 in the upcoming 118th Congress. That marked the first time since 1962 and John F. Kennedy's midterm election that a Democratic president saw a gain of seats for his party in the Senate.
No Republican incumbent Senators lost either, which in itself is not as rare of a feat ― parties that are out of power tend to do well in midterms. But combined with the Democratic holds, it marks the first time since the direct election of senators began that no incumbent senator of any party lost.
Invigorated by the wins and speaking to reporters at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) crowed about the accomplishment.
"Why'd that happen? Well, first, because we had great candidates, not just Raphael Warnock," Schumer said. "Their strength and their vitality was just incredible."
On Twitter, historian Michael Beschloss called it "the strongest first-term midterm Congressional showing of any President in eighty-eight years," aside from the 1962 midterm and 2002, when Republicans gained seats in the Senate after the Sept. 11 terror attacks with George W. Bush in the White House.
And one exultant Tweet just featured a picture of Schumer by himself, leaning against a column, captioned, "Chuck Schumer taking a photo with all the senate dems that lost."

The Gas Phase molecular sieve design passes a wet alcohol (or solvent) stream in vapor state at a controlled pressure through a column filled with molecular sieve beads. As the vapors pass through the bed of molecular sieve beads, water is drawn into the internals of the beads by polar attraction, leaving the remaining vapors dehydrated as they exit the column.
At a defined cycle time, the gas flow is diverted to a second mole sieve column to allow the process vapors to be continuously dehydrated, while the first mole sieve column is regenerated.
Regeneration is accomplished by reducing the pressure and/or by pulling a vacuum on the column, while using a purge gas to help strip the water out of the molecular sieve beads. Commonly used purge gasses are N2 or process solvent that has already been dehydrated by the column. Some designs use up to 30% of the process flow as a purge gas. However, Wintek is able to accomplish this using only 5-10%.
Are designed to handle a wide variation in feed concentrations (0-10% water by volume, up to 15% possible).


Our most sacred of relationships is the one we have with our mothers. The journey is blessed, cursed, mysterious and tender. When a child is adopted a whole layer of complexity is added to the relationship. Playwright Wendy Beckett explores this parallel world with imagination and feeling based on a deep knowledge of the subject being both adopted herself and now being an adoptive mother. The play examines the adoption triangle between a birth mother, the relinquishing mother and a 17 year-old daughter.

Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-game suspension upheld on appeal
Lorenzo Reyes
New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-game suspension was upheld Wednesday after a hearing conducted at the NFL's offices in New York.
Beckham was suspended Monday after his actions in a 38-35 loss Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, in which he was flagged three times for personal fouls, including one non-football play in which he launched himself at Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, hitting him in the jaw with the crown of his helmet.
USA TODAY Sports' Jarrett Bell reported earlier Wednesday morning Norman was fined $26,044 for his role in sparring with Beckham.
Upon the announcement of the appeal decision, Beckham issued an apology on Twitter for his actions on Sunday.
Panthers practice squad player Marcus Ball – who was seen wielding a black baseball bat before the game while engaged in trash talk with Beckham – denied that he threatened Beckham, according to NFL Network's Jeff Darlington.
Follow every game: Latest NFL Scores and Schedules
"If I had a dollar for all ex-girlfriends that had false allegations about me ... ," Ball said, according to Darlington.
That came in response to comments from Giants punter Brad Wing, who spoke to local reporters Wednesday and said he had an up-close account of what happened during pregame warmups on Sunday.
Wing said he heard Ball tell Beckham, "I'll be the reason you don't play today ... and other days."
What's the most compelling potential NFL wild-card matchup?
Wing added that he did not hear the Panthers use homophobic slurs toward Beckham, though he said the receiver has been subject to them throughout the season.
When Norman was asked Wednesday if he used any homophobic slurs against Beckham, he responded: "I don't know what you're talking about."
All of that followed Giants coach Tom Coughlin issuing a statement to start his regularly schedule Wednesday news conference to preview the week's opponent.
"The only thing I'll say about the incident that occurred the other day in the game that everyone is preoccupied with right now is the fact that to depict this as Odell Beckham being wrong, and the only one wrong, is not right," Coughlin said. "It's not fair. It's not justice. It's not the way it was. If you're naïve enough to think that way, then you better do some soul-searching yourself.
"Beckham certainly was wrong, and we said he was wrong from day one. But there were factors involved, starting in pregame, which are well-documented, which indicate that there was an attempt to provoke him. He was provoked, he was out of control, he was wrong, there's no doubt about it. You'd like that that didn't happen. But the fact of the matter is, if you know that, the situation pregame with the baseball bat and if you know what occurred at the very beginning of the game, you can understand that there was two sides to this and not just one. And that's the only thing I'll say about that incident."

The Bath Music Festival Another idea for getting new recruits is to ask your best customers. Do you have one of those great customers who spend $50 or more every campaign? Do you have a customer that is a great helper that brings you extra orders every campaign? These kind of customers are the best prospects for new recruits! Head to the beach. Many families say good-bye to summer by spending Labor Day weekend at Virginia Beach. The Verizon Wireless American festival wristbands will entertain people of all ages with oceanfront concerts, food and fun. Of course, there are goals that have to do with physical measurements (weight, body fat percentage, size), and other goals that might have to do with your performance, like running a certain time or distance. Another type of goal might be to get yourself geared up for a future event or challenge, like a 10k run, or a full or 1/2 marathon, or a triathlon, or a "Tough Mudder" event wristbands, or a long distance cycling event, or a 3-day walk, and so on. You could even schedule a vacation where you"ll be active, like climbing, or surfing, or skiing, or white water rafting, or hiking. You get the point. Funk fest features artists like Frankie Beverly and Maze, Gap Band, New Edition, Whodini, Big Daddy Kane, Betty Wright, Rickey Smiley, Ohio Players, SOS Band, Cameo and many others. They will keep the crowd go wild with their sport wristbands music and vocal powers. Whether at the New England Country Music Festival, or at any of the other national festivals, people nationwide have shown an enduring love for the music. Year after year, voters at the Country Music Awards look back on the Festivals to highlight the best performances. Award winners are forged at their live performances at these festivals. Every year at these Award ceremonies fans of Country are reminded of why they love the live show. Don"t miss out on that feeling and be sure to attend at least one country music festival this year. It"s been more than a decade from the time when that first Funk Fest was performed, the event has blossomed into a 5 city annual event that attracts more than 10,000 people per city and is expected to invade a total of 15 cities by 2015. Funk Fest can be seen in Atlanta GA, Memphis TN, St. Petersburg/Tampa FL, Jacksonville FL, and now in Orlando FL. Summary: There is no natural, outdoor amphitheatre quite like Red Rocks. Monolith will signal the end of summer, for some of us, and what better place to throw a final "farewell summer" party than Red Rocks! With a performance roster of 40 artists and bands, and it has all summer to grow, I"m sure it will be one carousing good time. Check out the VIP ticket package, it"s got some good values and is actually fairly reasonable in price.
China will be the host of the 2019 global World Environment Day celebrations on June 5 at Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, on the theme of air pollution.
This announcement was jointly made by Zhao Yingmin, the head of Chinese delegation at the fourth United Nations Environment Assembly and Joyce Msuya, the acting director of United Nations Environment Programme on March 15, 2019.
"China will be a great global host of 2019's World Environment Day celebrations. The country has demonstrated tremendous leadership in tackling air pollution domestically. It can now help spur the world to greater action," Msuya said.
She said air pollution is a global emergency affecting everyone and that China will now be leading the push and stimulating global action to save millions of lives.
Approximately 7 million people worldwide die prematurely each year from air pollution, with about 4 million of these deaths occurring in Asia-Pacific.
World Environment Day 2019 is therefore expected to urge governments, industry, communities, and individuals to come together to explore renewable energy and green technologies, and improve air quality in cities and regions across the world.
With its growing green energy sector, China has emerged as a climate leader. The country owns half of the world's electric vehicles and 99 percent of the world's electric buses, according to UN.
By hosting the World Environment Day 2019, the Chinese government will be able to showcase its innovation and progress toward a cleaner environment.
According to a new UN report titled, A Review of 20 Years' Air Pollution Control in Beijing, air pollution in Beijing was dominated by coal-combustion and motor vehicles in 1998. Major pollutants exceeded national limits.
In 2013, the capital city adopted more systematic and intensive measures. By the end of 2017 fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) had fallen by 35 per cent in Beijing and by 25 per cent in the surrounding Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Much of this reduction came from measures to control coal-fired boilers, provide cleaner domestic fuels and industrial restructuring.
Over this period, annual emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM10) and volatile organic compounds in Beijing decreased by 83 per cent, 43 per cent, 55 per cent and 42 per cent respectively.
Speaking during the report launch event on March 9 at the UN offices in Nairobi, Kenya, Dechen Tsering, director of UN Environment's Asia Pacific Regional Office, said Beijing has achieved impressive air quality improvements in a short time.
"Beijing offers a good example of how a large city in a developing country can balance environmental protection and economic growth."

Every day I see more evidence that points towards a simple conclusion: It requires rigorous self-examination to determine our own motives and the correct, rational response to any given problem. This rigorous self-examination is beyond what the vast majority of people are either capable of or are willing to do.
Confirmation bias explains why so many rumors about candidates were eagerly embraced recently. On the left, commentators glommed onto false gossip about Sarah Palin's ignorance (she doesn't know that Africa is a continent) and bigotry (she tried to ban books from the public library) because liberals think that conservatives are dumb and dogmatic, and after eight years of George W. Bush's malapropisms and Palin's interview fumbles, such rumors merely confirmed what liberals already believed.
It's been my experience that confirmation bias is one of the most powerful (powerful in the sense of most likely to lead us astray) faults of the human mind. Shermer's op-ed piece is a nice overview of the pitfalls found within.
It's a pretty difficult bias to counteract, as it requires you to consciously step back from everything you learn and think about why you agree or disagree with it.


The pages for both SpaceX and Tesla are now inactive, each had a massive 2.6 million followers.
SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk has removed both of his companies Facebook pages after being challenged by his followers on Twitter.
Musk was responding to a barrage of Tweets urging him to delete his Facebook pages, he responded to one from Signal's Brian Acton, co-founder of the Facebook-owned WhatsApp, that contained the hashtag #deletefacebook."
The Verge reports: Musk was answering a flurry of tweets this morning when he responded to one from Signal's Brian Acton, co-founder of the Facebook-owned WhatsApp, that contained the hashtag #deletefacebook.
Musk claimed he didn't even know it existed and then said he would, probably in an attempt to preserve his "the man" status.
Then someone prompted him to delete Tesla's Facebook page, with Musk responding that it "looks lame anyway." And just for good measure, it seems that the Facebook page for Tesla-owned Solar City has disappeared as well.
Musk's massive Facebook troll comes on the heels of a particularly bad week for the social media company. Over the weekend, it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a consulting firm that worked on President Trump's election campaign, had improperly acquired data from 50 million Facebook users.
The backlash has continued since then, with Facebook users showing concern over the disregard for their privacy and government officials demanding answers.


OK so I had seen a couple of cupcake oven mitt patterns on the market but to be honest I wanted one that covered the thumb as well as the fingers and both the ones I had seen only covered the fingers.
So I decided to have a go and draft my own pattern. I've made a couple of these as the first one (Strawberry fabric below) I wasn't keen on the shape of my 'frosting'! So I tweaked it and now love it! Plus it's super cute in the pink apples fabric!
Cupcake Oven Mitt / Hot Plate Grabber!
I'm running this as a class over the next few weeks, but wondered if anyone would be interesting in buying a PDF pattern if I were to make it available?
