Q: Autohotkey - AltGr hotkey behaves differently from LAlt hotkey I'm trying to map LAlt+Space to Delete and AltGr+Space to Backspace, so i made this script :
<!Space::Delete
<^>!Space::Backspace

LAlt+Space gets mapped correctly to Delete, but AltGr+Space doesn't work properly : it removes words like Ctrl+Backspace would do instead of removing one character at a time.
I switched 'Delete' and 'Backspace' and got the same issue : LAlt+Space works properly but AltGr+Space removes words like Ctrl+Delete instead of characters.
I'm guessing this might have to do with the fact that AltGr is actually Ctrl+RAlt, so the Ctrl might be composed with Backspace or Delete at some point ?
Does anybody know what the cause of this could be, and a solution ?

A: While @user3419297's answer is essentially correct, it's advisable in modern versions of AHK to use SendInput over Send.
<!Space::
SendInput, {Delete}
return

<^>!Space::
SendInput, {Backspace}
return


Parvo early in a pup's life usually spells disaster, but Pilly not only beat Parvo but also Sarcoptic Mange before she was eight weeks old. This tenacious little girl was "purchased" from a family that said they weren't able to care for her. Melanie Pafford was driving near downtown Memphis one afternoon when she spotted the several week old puppy in a basket near some children. She made a few loops and found what she expected, the children gone and the puppy left behind. She stopped and knocked on the door of the home and was greeted by a young girl and her mom. The mother told Melanie she couldn't care for the dog and if Melanie wanted her she would take $20. Melanie had never paid money for a dog before, but she knew she had to do just that. She immediately took the pup, that she named Pilly, to the vet and since then she has been in the care of the Streetdog Foundation in Memphis, TN and has spent time at a few different foster homes.
Pilly appreciates the little things in life. She knows she had a tough beginning and wants to relish in every amazing moment she has now.
After a long day playing with her pals there's only one thing Pilly wants to do. Tiffany, a volunteer who has kept Pilly when her foster families were out of town, says she loves to snuggle on the couch and even sit in her lap! It's sounds like a pretty good life for a dog who had it so tough in the beginning.
Gouda and his running buddy used to run around together on the streets of Memphis, TN. Everyone knows that's no place for a dog, but Gouda and and his friend seemed to have the way of the streets down pat. Lucky for them, their street knowledge kept them alive but they couldn't ignore the opportunity they were about to stumble upon...a family unloading groceries that had left their front door open. The two dogs wandered in the house when the family wasn't looking and hid, quietly, waiting for the family to come back inside. The family was surprised to find the two dogs calmly waiting to be discovered and each enjoyed all the petting that followed. Both dogs were taken to the Streetdog Foundation in hopes they would one day find homes.
Today, Pilly and Gouda are still in search of their forever families. Both live with foster families now, fit right in, and are members of the pack. Tomorrow concludes our series of pet posts for #NationalPetWeek. You won't want to miss the final post. There is something all these dogs have in common. Come back tomorrow to find out!

Manuel Fernando Zárate (Guararé, Panamá, 22 de junio de 1899-Panamá, 29 de octubre de 1968) fue egresado del Instituto Nacional de Panamá, con el título de maestro de enseñanza primaria. Se graduó de ingeniero químico en la Universidad de París y siguió cursos de literatura en La Sorbona y de Historia y Crítica en la Escuela de Louvre. En Panamá fue director del Laboratorio del Hospital Santo Tomás. Se dedicó al estudio del folclore panameño junto con su esposa Dora Pérez de Zárate. Entre sus obras se destacan: Breviario de Folclore; Tambor y Socavón y la Décima y la copla.

Biografía

Manuel Fernando Zárate nació el 22 de junio de 1899 en el poblado de Guararé. En 1925 se graduó en La Sorbona, París, Francia. En 1949 apoyó para que se celebrara el Primer Festival de la Mejorana. En 1952 empezó a componer varias obras, entre éstas La décima y la copia en Panamá y obtuvo el Primer Premio en la Sección Ensayo del Concurso Ricardo Miró. En 1957 escribe Brevario de folclore, un estudio que intenta aproximarse a los conceptos científicos de la ciencia del folclore y destinado a dar una base elemental de elementos folclóricos en Panamá. En 1959 logra oficilizar el Concurso Gelo Córdoba mediante la resolución 637 del 9 de septiembre firmado por el Ministerio de Educación. En 1962 escribió Tambor y socavón en colaboración de su esposa, Dora Pérez de Zárate, donde se presenta un estudio de las diferentes formas de los instrumentos tambor y socavón, sus bailes, cantos y música.

Vida profesional
Ejerció el cargo de Superintendente del Hospital Santo Tomás y fue Catedrático de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Panamá.

Reconocimientos

Para perpetrar su memoria por haber llevado un profundo estudio del folklore panameño para su proyección nacional e internacional, los folkloristas panameños fundaron en su ciudad natal, Guararé, la Casa Museo Manuel F. Zárate.  Mediante Decreto de Gabinete No. 292 de 4 de septiembre de 1969 se declaró Monumento Nacional la Casa Museo Manuel F. Zarate en Guararé, Provincia de Los Santos.

Primer premio en la Sección de Ensayo del Concurso Ricardo Miró con las obras La Décima y la Copla en Panamá y Tambor y Socavón.

Desde el año 1972 se realiza el Concurso de la Décima Escrita Manuel F. Zárate.  En el año 2010 se celebró la versión XXXVIII.

Desde el año 1980 se realiza el Festival Nacional de la Voz y Canto Manuel F. Zárate.  En el año 2009 se celebró la versión XXVIII.

 En el año 2005 y nuevamente en el 2007, folcloristas propusieron crear la orden Manuel Fernando Zárate para reconocer el aporte cultural que hizo para preservar las costumbres y tradiciones de Panamá.  Se espera que la orden sirva de motivación para todas aquellas personas que de una u otra manera promueven el folclor en sus expresiones más auténticas.  En el año 2009, se presentó ante la Asamblea Nacional el Proyecto de Ley 454 que crea la condecoración Orden Manuel F. Zárate.  El 30 de junio de 2009 fue promulgada la Ley 40 que crea esta condecoración.  El artículo primero dice así:

Full time, work from home single Dad to my 3 amazing boys. Oh...and creator fo this blog. :-)
I actually use it for my video streaming, e-book reading and most of the time for my gaming. For a child, they should use it for educational purposes and more often in browsing and downloading educational apps to help them. It should be like a handy book for them.

The information is very good for the readers. the details are usefull to us. Thank you for sharing the information at here in this article. keep sharing your aticle. Latest Mobile Phone
We have recently gotten a tablet for our 9 year old son who is on the spectrum as well. Mostly right now it is for entertainment, however I plan to incorporate his daily schedule on it. My son needs to have a routine and to deviate from that routine is scary for him. Scheduling things helps him to see that these appointments or tasks or coming up and then he can prepare for the transition. He also has an app that shows how he is feeling. He can press a feeling and get a face that shows that feeling.

The second technique will make its first appearance in Example 6. I have 30 of them. Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction. You use equal molar concentration solutions so that the volume ratio of the solutions is the same as the mole ratio. Thus, the product is impure. Product C is a stoppered test tube.
Specifically, the method carried out in this lab was the Mole Ratio method. Assuming reaction goes to completion, which gas is the excess reagent? Use of a limiting reactant is to cause all of the limiting reactant to be consumed by. This method is most useful when there are only two reactants. A precipitate is a solid formed during a reaction between two aqueous compounds. Reactant B is a stopper.
As a group, we obtained our salt mixture of calcium chloride and potassium oxalate, and weighed the mixture. If less than 6 moles of oxygen are available per mole of glucose, oxygen is the limiting reactant. Enough about hot dogs, though! Before well 5, the CaCl 2 is limiting. When running a reaction in the lab, loss of product often occurs during purification or isolation steps. In Part A of this experiment the solid reactant salts CaCl2·H2O forms and K2C2O4·H2O form heterogeneous mixture of unknown composition.
This ratio can be very valuable to other people who might try your reaction. We know that the limiting reagent is the chemical that will be used up first. Assuming reaction goes to completion, which gas is the limiting reagent? Pre-Lab Discussion: In this experiment, you will investigate the concept of limiting reagents reactants. What was the limiting reactant? If we know the volume of solution we can then calculate the number of moles present by multiplying the volume in liters by the molarity of the solution: A reaction between 0. New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005. Because there are only 0. Those are called the excess reactants.
In this example, imagine that the tires and headlights are reactants while the car is the product formed from the reaction of 4 tires and 2 headlights. You can then write a balanced equation for the reaction. Step 5: If necessary, calculate how much is left in excess. Just calculate this formula for each reagent, and the reagent that has the lowest value of this formula is the limiting reagent. Therefore it is important in any chemical preparation to take this loss into account so that enough product is made. In addition, you will use the information to determine the limiting reactant.
Identify the limiting reagent in this experiment. Because the number of cars formed by 20 tires is less than number of cars produced by 14 headlights, the tires are the limiting reagent they limit the full completion of the reaction, in which all of the reactants are used up. Called the limiting reactant or the limiting reagent. In these calculations, the limiting reactant is the limiting factor for the theoretical yields of all products. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio. It is simply the substance in a chemical reaction that runs out first. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed.
How is my lab report graded? From these calculations, we established moles of the limiting reactant, were the same amount of moles in the product based on the stoichiometrically balanced equation. Therefore the mass of the limiting reactant was. Stir for approximately 5 seconds. You may also interpret the coefficients in a balanced equation as the mole ratios between the reactants to form the products. For example, in the business of manufacturing a chemical product of some kind, it is important to do it as efficiently and with as little waste as possible.
Laboratory Manual for Principles of General Chemistry. We have been assigned to figure out which reactant is limiting when 1. If the things measured were a slightly more than should be this could have affected the concentrations of the solutions, and thus caused a larger reaction than expected. Try to keep the same drop size. After the limiting reactant or limiting reagent is used up and the reaction stops, there is extra of the other reactants left over. The oxygen is the limiting reactant for this reaction.
I certainly hope it is something you pay attention to and remember. Reactant A is a test tube. If the amount of B present is less than required, then B is the limiting reagent. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio. Because there are only 1. Engage the students in a discussion about why it might be economical to have the reactants in the correct mole ratio, how it might be easier to separate and purify the product without excess reactant present, and the possibility of recycling any excess reactant. Unlike in writing compositions, in lab reports, your abstract and your.
I know that the limiting reagent is BaCl2 but I can't figure it out with. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. We boiled and filtered off the solution, leaving the precipitate. A way for us to better understand this concept of the limiting reactant is to observe the reaction in our experiment. To figure out the amount of product produced, it must be determined reactant will limit the chemical reaction the limiting reagent and which reactant is in excess the excess reagent.


ahhhh, this experience is coming to an end. it's amazing how quickly it has flown despite the incredibly challenging schedule. with our discussions of patanjali's yoga sutras over the past few days we've talked a lot about how asana is only a small portion of a real yoga practice. sure, we think of the poses as a BIG piece of yoga but there is soooo much more involved. there is meditation (so hard, but so key), there is diet, the yamas and niyamas, pranayama - breathwork, there is doing good (karma), doing unto others as you'd want done unto you, etc., etc. SO much and i promise to write more about it when i have a few more minutes (have to catch this "down time" during meals). practice is all about passion and full incorporation.
1. so excited to share the feminist review has posted a book review!
2. i found a fab new magazine by martha stewart: blueprint! check it out.

5. a BIG shout-out to my running partner, elayne, who sent me the sweetest (and yummiest) mother's day treats in the mail! sending gifts via mail is sooooooo thoughtful.
I love Blueprint too! No doubt, you've already found the link to the blog, but just in case, here's the Blueprint blog link.
PS - Thank you Kimberly for always being an inspiring and insightful hip tranquil chick!
Hi Kimberly! speaking of home decorating... can you remind us where you buy your sheets? I remember a while ago you recommended some online store where you could buy 400 count sheets at decent prices (or at least better prices than at a retailer).
She's mentioned buying linens at TJ Maxx and Ebay.
Also Overstock.com has great prices on sheets. But, I think TJ Maxx and Marshalls are better. I recently scored 600 count for $39.00 for a full Queen sheet set.


By John Rost, Chairman, North American Metal Packaging Alliance Inc.
On March 31, the FDA responded to the highly publicized petition by the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) to ban bisphenol A (BPA) in all food packaging applications in the U.S. FDA resoundingly rejected NRDC's request in a 15-page response, reiterating that BPA, at current levels of exposure, is safe for use in food contact applications.
FDA's announcement is a welcome development that reinforces the public trust in the agency's commitment to protecting public health by putting sound science above political pressure. Not surprisingly, NRDC did not share this opinion, favoring instead to go on the offensive calling FDA "out-of-step with scientific and medical research."
This begs an important question: With the weight of so much research and evidence supporting BPA's safety, who is it that really is out of touch on the science?
The reasoning behind FDA's decision is consistent with international regulatory reviews of BPA by scientists and governments across the world. It echoed similar findings from the World Health Organization, the European Food Safety Authority, Health Canada and the Japanese Research Institute of Science for Safety and Sustainability, as well as regulatory agencies in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
Time and again, when a comprehensive body of research on BPA is evaluated by unbiased scientific experts, the conclusion is the same: BPA-based coatings, when used in food packaging, do not pose a health risk to the general population, including infants and young children.
The basis for this consistency revolves around how people are exposed to BPA and how the human body metabolizes it. Much of the NRDC's claim that BPA is dangerous is based on research that relied on the direct injection of BPA into the blood streams of test animals. These studies, while offering interesting data, are not considered relevant for purposes of assessing human risk.
Humans are not exposed to BPA through injection; indeed, a person's exposure to BPA is primarily from ingestion as a result of their diet. When ingested, BPA is rapidly metabolized and eliminated from the body in the urine. The metabolite of BPA has no known biological activity and cannot cause any adverse effects.
New research is making an even stronger case for the safety of BPA in food packaging. A landmark study sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is showing that when human subjects are fed a diet high in BPA, the unmetabolized BPA cannot be measured in the blood of the test subjects.
Today, the science surrounding BPA exposure is much clearer than in 2008 when NRDC first filed its petition. The weight of the scientific research on BPA continues to support the safety of BPA at the extremely low levels that people are exposed to on a daily basis.
It is an inescapable fact that any material that comes into contact with food will migrate into that food in small amounts. But we must keep in mind the very, very low levels of migration that occur with BPA and compare that to regulatory limits. Health Canada has pointed out that an average adult would have to eat food from several hundred cans each day to meet the intake limit of BPA established by the Canadian government.
John Rost, Ph.D.,is chairman of the North American Metal Packaging Alliance Inc. (www.metal-pack.org), with membership representing the food & beverage packaging industry. Contact him at info@metal-pack.org.
We should also consider that BPA is the only food packaging material of its kind to have been the subject of decades of unprecedented, rigorous scientific study.
We must remain mindful that metal packaging with BPA-based can liners can boast a unique and unprecedented safety record against the real dangers of food poisoning. According to FDA's own records, there has not been a single case of food-borne illness resulting from the failure of metal packaging in more than 37 years, coincidentally lining up with the widespread use of BPA as the industry standard for can coatings in metal food packaging. This safety record is hugely important when you consider that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year roughly one out of six Americans (or 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne diseases.
So when you step back to look at the bigger picture, perhaps the question you should be asking is: When is NRDC's science going to catch up with the rest of the world?


The Braised Bourbon Beef Short Ribs certainly impressed. The giant short rib was just slow cooked to perfection. Without so much as a hint of dryness, the protein simply fell away from the bone and melted away in your mouth with a bold and forward beef flavour. This was well complemented by a fragrant and tangy chimichurri sauce as well as some crispy, airy onion rings, both adding depth in flavour and texture. Simply a flawless dish!
We also enjoyed the Crispy Skin Atlantic Salmon. The beautiful presentation made way for a well-balanced and tasty dish. The skin of the fish was fried to a nice crisp, while the fish itself was fresh and flavourful, though a tad tougher in some spots. Served alongside was a light yet creamy parsnip puree, its silky smoothness perfectly contrasted by the crunch of pomegranate seeds.
We rounded off our meal with the special dessert for the day, an Espresso Panna Cotta. The gorgeous dessert was simply divine, silky smooth and incredibly creamy, with a pleasant coffee flavour permeating throughout. Well balanced in bitterness and sweetness, the suitably jiggly panna cotta was complemented by an assortment of berries that offered up a contrasting tartness, as well as a lovely passionfruit gel that provided crunch and a fragrant, citrus goodness.
Definitely. Can't wait to be back for more Panna Cotta and Beef Short Ribs!
Penguineats would like to thank Two Fat Monks for inviting us.

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to design a new identity system for Cindy Lee Photography, a really great St. Louis-based lifestyle and wedding photographer. Cindy came up with a few keywords detailing her style and what she'd like her brand to convey: celestial, mystical, unique. I had a lot of fun exploring how to graphically illustrate that for her and her work and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I was thrilled to get this response from Cindy at the project's wrap: "It's so unique and somehow perfectly describes me and my work, I don't know how you did it, I couldn't love it more!"


← #EventerProblems Vol. 150 from Ecovet: Happy Anniversary?
Members of the U.S. World Equestrian Games Team stretched their legs this weekend at the Maryland Horse Trials held at Carolyn Mackintosh's Loch Moy Farm in Adamstown, MD. Horses were fresh and full of running after their summer break, and have begun to get back into the swing of competition ahead of the big event this fall. Luckily for us, David Frechette was on site to film the action!
Four of the five U.S. horses were in attendance. We saw Lynn Symansky and The Donner Syndicate's Donner as well as Marilyn Little and RF Scaldalous in the Open Intermediate division.
Lynn and the 15-year-old Thoroughbred (Gorky Park x Smart Jane, by Smarten) finished sixth after a 29.8 in the dressage, and an easy cruise around the cross country.
Marilyn and "Kitty," a 13-year-old Oldenburg mare (Carry Gold x Richardia, by Lario) owned by Jacqueline Mars, Michael Manders, and Phoebe Manders finished just behind in seventh with 19.6 cross country time penalties added to their dressage score of 28.5.
Boyd Martin piloted Christine Turner's Tseterseg to a fourth place finish in the CIC2* class. The 11-year-old Trakehner (Windfall x Thabana, by Buddenbrock) picked up 6.8 cross country time penalties for a final score of 35.9.
Lauren Kieffer also had Jacqueline Mars's Vermiculus in this division. "Bug," an 11-year-old Anglo-Arabian (Sazeram x Wake Me Gently), earned third place on a 33.8 with only 6.8 time penalties added. Lauren also had Team Rebecca's Veronica in the CIC2*, but the two retired on cross country.
Team alternate Sharon White took this weekend as an opportunity for a combined test, withdrawing her own Cooley On Show before cross country. The 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse earned a 34.7 on the flat and had a clear show jumping round.
Boyd earned the win in the Open Intermediate division with the Ray Price Syndicate's Ray Price, the 10-year-old Thoroughbred's first outing since a top ten finish at the Jersey Fresh CCI3*. He was the only horse in the division to finish on his dressage score (27.6). Boyd was also third with Christine Turner's On Cue, a 12-year-old Anglo European (Cabri D'Elle x On High, by Primitive Rising), on 34.9 points.
Caroline Martin took first and second in the competitive CIC2* division with Cristano Z and Jump Jet, respectively. Christano Z, a 9-year-old Zandersheide (Chippendale Z x Nala VH Schoterhof, by Omar), finished with 2.8 cross country time penalties for a final result of 30.70, and Sherrie Martin's Jump Jet, a 9-year-old Irish Sport Horse (Captain Clover x Kilmullen Cruisalier, by Cavalier Royale) had a three-phase score of 33.8.
We would like to thank David again for these awesome videos from MDHT! You can see even more on his YouTube page.


The Happiest Baby on the Block finishes up with a conclusion, medical reasons to call the doctor, and a new parent's survival guide.
Overall, this is not a book I would recommend to anyone to read. If you have a baby who has colic and you need ideas on how to soothe him, the book might be of use to you. As many readers have told me, the 5 S's can really help. I have said it many times and will say it again, if you are only interested in the 5 S's, you might prefer the DVD.
I have started to read The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems, and there have been a couple of statements by Hogg that have stood out to me in light of this book. One thing found in chapter one is that Hogg briefly mentions mimicking the womb for baby, but describes the womb differently. She describes it as dark and quiet, which is different from Karp. She does, however, advocate swaddling in order to mimick the womb.
Hogg also says, "We know, for example, babies of depressed mothers tend to cry more themselves" (page 32). This is something Karp states as not being true. I tend to agree with Hogg. The saying, "If Mama ain't happyn, ain't nobody happy" is a saying for a reason. Mom really sets the tone for the mood in the home.
If your baby is a Babywise baby and does not have colic or extreme fussiness, I doubt you would find any enjoyment from this book.
I thought it was really interesting that when I had my baby 5 months ago, you could rent the Happiest Baby on the Block video to watch from your room on the Mother Baby Unit in our hospital. At one point during our hospital stay, when my LO was crying hard, one of the nurses swooped him up and started doing the shh-ing from the video. I ended up renting the video when I got home from the hospital, because my baby was having a hard time sleeping. I followed a lot of the tips, and I think using these techniques became major sleep props for him and it took me a couple months to realize this. I wish my hospital had also had information on Babywise! If I had known about Babywise early on, I definitely would have gotten my baby off to a better start. I do agree, though, that The Happiest Baby on the Block techniques would be good for a colicky baby.
Happiest Baby on the Block was actually one of the "recommended videos" that we watched before we were discharged from the hospital. The shh-ing is the only thing we actually found very helpful…oh,and swaddling.
Thanks for your thoughts Jeannie. It seems like Happiest Baby On The Block is kind of a "fad" in some places.
Jamie,That is what I have consistently heard from readers. Only the shh-ing and swaddling have been of use to them.
The womb is NOT quiet and dark!! Happiest baby on the block is right about that. It is extremely loud– the heart beating, the stomach digesting, the blood pumping…. some doctors say it is the equivilent to a vacuum cleaner in decibels!

DACAAR invites interested parties to submit their proposals for Implementation Planning of DACAAR's PMEL System.
DACAAR has already a comprehensive Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Policy, System and Procedures Manual in place. The PMEL system lays the basis for the PMEL in the organisation in order to ensure focus on progress towards identified results, as well as to feed information for improvement of approaches and activities, support sound management decision making, and accountability to stakeholders - especially DACAAR's beneficiaries.
DACAAR's PMEL system is aimed to help the organisation to systematically collect information on, analyse, record and report on results from programme implementation and channel information towards organisational learning, sound decision making and improvements in strategies, approaches and activities in a timely manner. It is further aimed to strengthen accountability towards the organisation's stakeholders - especially DACAAR's beneficiaries. Furthermore, the system follows organizational and programmatic standards, ensures participation, is organisation-wide, cost effective and simple in order for it to be sustainable.
Since the finalisation of the PMEL system in 2015 the system has to some extend been rolled out in the organisation but not as systematic as planned and not at all relevant levels. Thus, the purpose of this assignment is to develop a comprehensive plan for the second phase of the role out of the M&E System.
Se the full request for proposal here.
The final offer submission deadline shall be February 02, 2019 before 04:00 P.M Kabul time.

I'm pretty sure that the young lady on the right is my grandmother, Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977) in her teenage years. I don't know who the other young lady is. The young ladies are dressed alike - they may have been in a high school play, dance, or class, or perhaps it was for a church event.
The Charles Auble family came to San Diego in about 1911. The setting is most likely San Diego, perhaps at the Auble home at 767 14th Street in San Diego. It may be at the other young lady's house. The photograph was probably taken in the 1915-1916 time period.
What a great picture and family treasure. Love the shoes!

What is Papa Murphy's Scooperia?
papa murphy's menu
Posted on October 05, 2018 12:03:57The new Papa Murphy menu at Papa Murphy has been announced and there's nothing like the smell of garlic and peppermint.
It's a perfect example of the company's efforts to reinvent itself with the new menu.
Here's a quick rundown of what we know:The new menu is going to be called Papa Murphy Grill.
That's right, the new name Papa Murphy BBQ, which is a mashup of Papa Murphy and BBQ.
The new menu will include all sorts of classic items from the old menu, but with the added touch of a barbecue grilling station.
The menu will be available on-site at the chain restaurants.
Here are the details:Papa Murphy Grill is a barbecue joint with a new menu and menu items from Papa Murphy.
This is the second menu of Papa's that Papa Murphy announced for 2018.
The company announced the new Papa's menu in August, with the addition of a new burger and bacon burger.
The previous menu included a new pork belly burger.
In 2018, Papa Murphy was acquired by Burger King for $3.6 billion.
The deal will see Papa Murphy Restaurants continue to operate the Burger King brands.
Burger King is an American fast-food chain that sells burgers to over 80 countries, including the U.S. and Canada.
The new food will be made in-house and the menu items will be familiar to many of the Papa Murphy restaurants.
It will be sold at a range of restaurants, including Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, and KFC.
Here's the menu:What are some of the other things you can expect to see on the menu?
Here's a look at the menu from Papa's earlier announcement:


The wedding day is quite stressful, so you want the photographer to be an asset not a liability. You'll want him to be able to capture all the perfect moments and memories without having to worry about him getting in the way or missing a photo op.
What makes the professional wedding photographer's images special is his experience, knowhow and equipment, which can cost in the tens of thousands of dollars. Learn more about the specifics and details about what kinds of equipment a professional photographer needs.
Weddings are very different from photo shoots in that they are a moving and dynamic event. It's a little awkward to retake the "I do" moment multiple times, so you need a photographer that knows what is going on, what will happen next and how to capture those moments, while simultaneously taking into consideration things like light, speed, frame and colors.
Weddings have both posed moments as well as action shots. You need to capture both to truly get a feel for the wedding. Your photographer not only has to be a consultant when it comes to creating great, memorable poses, but he also has to have an artistic eye to capture the special dynamic moments. This skill set is something that comes from talent and experience.
Having a second shooter is also very important, not only to serve as a backup but also because the wedding happens in more than one place and great images can be taken in different places at the same time.
If you're unsure about hiring a professional photographer for your wedding, look no further. Here's six undeniable reasons why you should hire a pro.
Very well written! I agree that a photographer should have an artistic eye to capture special moments. Weddings are not as same as portfolio shoot or product shoot. You can not script the moments at weddings.
Wedding is the special events which is necessary for capture all the moments. I think professional and experience photographer can be easily capture your wedding moments in the camera. Thank you for this post.

Extended Producer Responsibility
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at COMMIT!Forum 2012, Part 9
When will extended producer responsibility come to the US? http://3bl.me/9n66df @VideoforGood @RobertKennedyJr #csr #recycling
Multimedia with summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sat down with Video4Good at the 2012 COMMIT!Forum in New York. In an extended interview, Kennedy discusses his career in the environmental movement and the impacts of business on the planet. He explores the roots of environmental problems, analyzes the current situation and offers solutions for creating a healthy, prosperous future for society and the natural world.
In this video, Part Nine of the interview, he explains that corporate accountability is a moral decision for CEOs that can have far reaching effects for all of society.
I think ultimately we're going to have extended producer responsibility in this country, and it's really individuals within these companies that are making the decision — ultimately it's going to be the CEO and it's going to be other people in the company who have to say we have to go beyond this quarter's bottom line, and look at the image of this company over long-term and the impact that that image has on shareholder value...

Q: How to add page title in url in asp.net mvc? (url generation) How to dynamically create urls/links like:
www.restaurant.com/restaurant/restaurant-name-without-some-characters-like-space-coma-etc/132
what are the keywords i can use to google some articles on this topic? (how to genererate and handle this kind of urls inside asp.net mvc)
There are some questions:
How to generate links? (store slugs in db?)
Redirect or not if slug isn't canonical?
edit: apparently they are called slugs

A: You have to use something as follows.
Routes.MapRoute(
    "Post",
    "posts/{id}/{*title}",
    new { controller = "Posts", action = "view" }
);

And a simple extension method:
public static class UrlExtensions
{

    public static string ResolveSubjectForUrl(this HtmlHelper source, string subject)
    {
        return Regex.Replace(Regex.Replace(subject, "[^\\w]", "-"), "[-]{2,}", "-");
    }

}

A: I've always stored slugs in the database alongside whatever entity would be referenced by them.  So for a blog post, you would have a "slug" field in the "posts" table.
To handle it in ASP.Net MVC is easy - you just use a regular route that would capture the slug in a parameter (possibly even just using {id}), and then your controller would look up the slug in the database, load the entity, and display it as normal.
Although you can use a simple RegEx to replace spaces and whatnot to generate your slugs, in reality this breaks down pretty quickly.  You need to consider all kinds of characters that may appear in your titles.  Michael Kaplan's blog has been linked to heavily for this exact purpose; he's shared a function that will strip diacritical marks from strings.
So, your "generate slug" algorithm should generally take the form of:

*

*Trim the string of leading/trailing whitespace

*Strip diacritical marks using Michael Kaplan's function or equivalent

*Lowercase the string for canonicalization

*Replace all the non-word characters with dashes

A: One way to do this is the following on your string
 string cleanString = originalString.ToLower().Replace(" ", "-"); // ToLower() on the string thenreplaces spaces with hyphens
 cleanString = Regex.Replace(cleanString, @"[^a-zA-Z0-9\/_|+ -]", ""); // removes all non-alphanumerics/underscore/hyphens

Now you can pass the cleanString (for titles,names etc) into the ActoinLink/Url.Action parameters and it will work great.
The pattern was taken from http://snipplr.com/view/18414/string-to-clean-url-generator/
I'm not 100% on the Regex pattern, if some Regex hero can chime in and offer a better one that would be great. From testing the Regex, it doesn't match spaces, but this shouldn't be a problem because the first line replaces all spaces with hyphens.
Update:
To use this code, you need to setup your routes to accept extra parameters.
We'll use a blog article title as an example.
        routes.MapRoute(
            "",                                              // Route name
            "View/{ID}/{Title}",                           // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "Articles", action = "View"}  // Parameter defaults
        );

In your ASP.NET MVC views, you can then do the following:
  <%= Html.ActionLink("View Article", "View", "Articles", new { ID = article.ID, Title = Html.SanitizeTitle(article.Title) }, null) %>

In the previous example, I use SanitizeTitle as an HTML helper.
public static string SanitizeTitle(this HtmlHelper html, string originalString)
{
     string cleanString = originalString.ToLower().Replace(" ", "-"); // ToLower() on the string then replaces spaces with hyphens
     cleanString = Regex.Replace(cleanString, @"[^a-zA-Z0-9\/_|+ -]", ""); // removes all non-alphanumerics/underscore/hyphens
     return cleanString;
}

A: I just asked a relevant question today on SO regarding to generating slug, aka/ slugify a title.
When fetch a URL with slug, you can either create an action that takes both ID (and other required arguments) and slug in and simply ignore the slug.
public ActionResult Foobar(int id, string slug)
{
    //-- Do Something
}

Or more elegant, Use map route to ignore trialing string behind your URL and map to Foobar(int id).

Unseen Photos of Rock Stars and Salvador Dali Revealed | THE HUFFINGTON POST | By Kristi York Wooten
BY KRISTI YORK WOOTEN | FROM THE HUFFINGTON POST: When Spanish painter and photographer Martin Frias asks me who my favorite rock band is, I say, "The Beatles." I can tell by the mischievous glint in his eye that this answer is far from correct. "That's not rock 'n' roll," he laughs, rolling his "r's" in a thick Catalan accent. "That's pop music."
I guess he would know. We're huddled up on a sofa in the Living Room of the W Atlanta-Downtown, where Barcelona native Frias is reminiscing about his four decades of behind-the-scenes moments with some of rock's most notorious names, including the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger ("He's rock 'n' roll," Frias assures me), Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, Queen's Freddie Mercury and even Georgia's own Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. Photos of these rockers – and a few of Frias's pal and fellow Spaniard, Salvador Dali – are on display through April 19 as part of the W's "Rock Iconic" exhibit. Many of these exclusive Frias snaps have never been seen before by American audiences.
"My favorite was always Led Zeppelin," Frias says of shooting bands during the heyday of classic rock. "Robert Plant was like a model in pose, and on stage, also incredible – with that long hair." Frias's stories about hanging out with Plant (whom, along with Alice Cooper, he calls the "classiest" stars) might be less provocative than, say, his crazy night in New Orleans with Freddie Mercury or his funny encounter with the sweetly obtuse Ozzy Osbourne, but as photographs, each of these memories is equally arresting.
A contemporary and friend of Baron Wolman, who served as Rolling Stone magazine's inaugural photo editor in the late 1960s, Frias made a name for himself as a popular photographer among musicians touring through Europe in the 1970s. Wolman and Frias exhibited together in the mid-2000s, but "Rock Iconic" is the first major solo showing of his work in the U.S..
Frias also enjoyed an intimate friendship with famous surrealist Dali, with whom he shared a love of models and rock 'n' roll. As a member of Dali's counter-cultural inner circle, Frias had unprecedented access into the artist's life, home, cavorts and cohorts (including disco "queen" and Roxy Music cover model Amanda Lear.) "Dali wanted to know everything about the lives of these musicians and their friends and girlfriends," Frias says of their long chats, "He couldn't sing, but he thought he was a rock star. When he posed for me, he would make jokes, 'Do I look like David Bowie?'"
[CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE SLIDESHOW.]
That an exhibition featuring Dali and rock stars would end up in Atlanta instead of New York or Miami isn't a surprise to the city's art and music fans – or to the venue.
"W Atlanta-Downtown's passion for music made the 'Rock Iconic' exhibit a perfect fit," says the hotel's general manager Tim Dahlen. "Whether we're hosting an after-party, showcasing a live performance or serving as the host hotel to musicians performing in the city, our space embraces the opportunity to introduce great music to guests and locals. 'Rock Iconic' offers insider access to four decades of legendary rock n' roll through the lens of Martin Frias. That's not something you can get anyplace else."
Rock Iconic runs through April 19 at W Atlanta Downtown. Click here for more info.

Q: MongoDB - I want to specify a primary key and operate it with name other than `_id` I had a Tag schema (defined with mongoose):
var Tag = new Schema({
  _id: String  // Not ObjectId but the name of the tag.
});

I want to use the tag name as its _id, but I don't want to operate this field with name _id. For example, I would like to add a new tag with code new Tag({name: 'tagA'}) instead of new Tag({_id: 'tagA'}). Since the code is more expressive in this way.
So I need to change name to _id. One method would be using the pre-save hook.
Tag.pre('save', function(next) {
  if (!this._id && this.name) this._id = this.name;
  next();
});

Are there ways better than this one?

A: This seems to be the best option I found with mongoose for implementing custom primary keys.
<schemaToHook>.pre('save', true, function(next, done) {
   // trigger next middleware in parallel
   next();
   if (!this._id && this.name) {
       this._id = this.name;
   }
   done();
 });

I am using a parallel middleware and expecting better performance. Also, while using the above implementation you might want to consider using findOneAndUpdate with upsert = true for INSERT or REPLACE equivalent implementation.
MyModel.findOneAndUpdate(
    {foo: 'bar'}, // find a document with that filter
    modelDoc, // document to insert when nothing was found
    {upsert: true, new: true, runValidators: true}, // options
    function (err, doc) { // callback
        if (err) {
            // handle error
        } else {
            // handle document
        }
    }
);


On July 9, thousands of disabled New Yorkers are expected to gather at Union Square Park at 10am for the third annual Disability Pride Parade NYC. The parade will see disabled and non-disabled allies joining together to raise awareness, visibility and increase community building. The route will head north up Broadway beginning at 11am and will conclude at Madison Square Park with a festival of speakers and entertainment from noon to 3pm. The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities has partnered with NYC Disability Pride to help provide informational kiosks and vendors along the route.

First Choice housing wanted to increase the skills and knowledge of their support staff, office staff and tenants, to help them save money and eat healthily.
We were approached to deliver training to Community Housing Cymru (the umbrella organisation for community housing in Wales), which included eleven participants representing six housing associations.
Following the success of the initial session, one of the attendees, Sharon Gronland, then ran her own Love Food Hate Waste Session at 'Tenant Councils' from Swansea to Newtown and up to Shotton – spreading the message across the whole of Wales.
Sharon told us that, as many of the tenants have learning difficulties, the tactile nature of the activities (for example, feeling the weights of the pasta and cereal) meant they were a real hit.
In all, 29 tenants, 31 support staff and 15 office workers discovered how to cook perfect portions, master date labels and plan meals to save money.
Following the initial training, First Choice is now advertising its own campaign on its website, social media and in its newsletters.
With busy lives, it's worth asking yourself, if just by cooking a little more of your planned evening meal, could it provide you with a simple lunch the next day?
Love Food Hate Waste has put together their top five tips to help you make the most of the festive fare in your kitchen.

EcoWorld Launches Shuttle Bus Service For Eco Botanic & Signs Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia
JOHOR BAHRU: Eco World Development Group Berhad (EcoWorld Malaysia) launched its shuttle bus service at Eco Botanic, its maiden project in Iskandar Malaysia, today.
The EcoWorld Shuttle Service is fully-owned and operated by EcoWorld Malaysia for the benefit of residents and the surrounding communities with three key factors in mind – convenience, connectivity and safety.
President & CEO of EcoWorld Malaysia Dato' Chang Khim Wah said that the Group is delighted to be able to offer not only products that enhance lifestyles but value creation for customers as well.
"Eco Botanic is EcoWorld's first project in Iskandar Malaysia. Launched in 2013, we are proud to see how the township has grown five years on, fulfilling our promise to purchasers in terms of connectivity, amenities and more."
Strategically located in the heart of Iskandar Puteri, Zone B in Iskandar Malaysia and directly neighbouring EduCity, the 270-acre Eco Botanic is a premium gated & guarded township featuring cluster, semi-dees and bungalow homes.
Accessible from all major highways such as the Coastal Highway, Pasir Gudang Highway and the Second Link Highway, travelling to and from Eco Botanic is effortless and is therefore able to expand its catchment area to include Singapore and Johor Bahru.
Based on Eco Botanic's location, Chang said the shuttle service initiative will be a boon for Eco Botanic City, the commercial precinct of the township and its surrounding areas and will definitely enhance the township's connectivity.
Chang added that for a new township like Eco Botanic, the initiative provides strategic accessibility to key locations for the convenience of residents as the shuttle service's proposed routes include stops to nearby supermarkets/hypermarkets, EduCity and the Gelang Patah bus interchange.
The service will run seven days a week, 365 days a year. The bus is equipped with two CCTV cameras and a GPS tracker to ensure security of riders, and has a capacity of 30 passengers (19 seated and 11 standing).
The shuttle service is expected to start running in March and is accessible to all residents of Eco Botanic for free. Members of the public can also use the shuttle service. All they need to do is obtain a rider pass at the Eco Botanic City Gallery by presenting an expenditure receipt from Eco Boulevard.
Chang added: "We will be implementing the shuttle service in other EcoWorld developments as well, as it serves as an affirmation of our mission in creating world-class eco living in all our developments.
"This is in addition to the oBike station-less smart bike-sharing system that we have already implemented in our developments which has gained a lot of interest and has helped to promote a healthy lifestyle and culture in our communities," he said.
Other green initiatives implemented by the Group in its developments include dedicated green areas and bicycle lanes and walkways. In Eco Botanic itself, over 14% of the development has been designated as green zones with sustainable landscape design planning which emphasises on reintroducing and propagating indigenous trees and plants to create more shades and provide habitats for animals in a harmonious ecosystem. The trees were also transplanted from its original forest with a 95% survival rate and are able to act as carbon sinks and produce more oxygen.
Chief Executive of Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) Datuk Ismail Ibrahim applauded the developer's initiative to lower carbon footprint. Speaking at the launch, Ismail said: "A Low Carbon Society is a society where people live a simple but high-quality lifestyle, emphasising family and community ties, in harmony with nature, with minimum emission of CO2. The launch of the EcoWorld Shuttle Service is timely indeed and very much in line with the Low Carbon Society Blueprint which includes low carbon living," he added.
On the same day, EcoWorld also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (Newcastle University) for a collaboration to provide quality accommodation to students of the university, at the developers Eco Nest serviced apartments.
Eco Nest is the Green Mark certified serviced apartment component in the 270-acre Eco Botanic township which offers full-fledge condominium facilities that include an indoor badminton court, gym, swimming pool, gourmet kitchen and sky garden.
Located in the heart of Iskandar Puteri, Eco Nest is a convenient location not only for Newcastle University but EduCity as a whole with its growing community.
Eco Nest is also purposefully and strategically situated in Eco Botanic's commercial centre and surrounded by Eco Boulevard which consists of shop offices & Eco Galleria which is the high-street mall. "All these components coming together will not only benefit the residents but the commercial owners as well and is truly a holistic living environment for all," Chang added.
Eco Nest offers units in various built-ups starting from 582 sq ft and prices from RM550,000 as well as duplex units that are 1,238 sq ft and priced at RM1,069,000 onwards.


Totally enthralled as I watched Becoming Jane again tonight, two things hit me during the movie. 1: Relationships and the communication therein begin full of transparency, passion, and honesty.
The movie centers on Jane Austen's first love. I was so struck how honest and transparent they were with each other, even when it was hard. I'm not sure what happens, but somewhere along our journey, we pull away from honesty and transparency with those we love. Not just spouses, but family, friends, maybe more.
I'm not sure why that is. Maybe time and experience harden us to be less transparent. I suppose it costs less, on many levels.
There was something I intriguing about that fresh honesty that left me wanting that for all my (kinds) of relationships now.
I hugged a friend today that is battling cancer who is just excited to be able to celebrate another birthday recently. Looking at her, she is beautiful, stunning, and glorious with the Jesus that shines through her. I suspect she has no problem being transparent and honest in her relationships anymore.
Is it so much a risk? What keeps us from this? Why hinder and spoil precious time we have with anyone we love, simply to be respectfully silent? Do we not owe them the respect and honor of honesty and transparency?
Many times, I do not. My mind scrolls through friends, family, etc and I sigh…it is easier to smile and agree and say little. But, not always the right thing to do.


The Ropes Crossing project features six unique villages, each with its own character and sense of place, providing a unique and convenient lifestyle. Affordable living options have been created within 900 hectares of regional bushland which is walking distance of the town centre.
As a partner to Lendlease, AT&L helped to deliver the final residential lots at this award-winning residential estate. Starting in 2014, we completed contract management and superintendency services for the final 424 lots.
Since then, our role was extended to manage the delivery of outstanding water quality facilities throughout the estate (eight raingardens and a larger wetland), as well as the construction of a new roundabout and future collector link road towards Jordan Springs East, totalling over $8M in infrastructure. These works were completed in 2018.
We are also assisting Lendlease with the project management of other construction works required to dedicate the estate's various assets to Blacktown City Council.

A New Map of Global Ecological Marine Units –
An Environmental Stratification Approach
Published by the AAG in 2017, this booklet makes a major contribution to understanding the physical and ecological geography of the Earth.
This special publication describes the concepts and methods for delineating ecological marine units (EMUs) as distinct physical environments.
USGS and Esri created an ecological partitioning of the global ocean. This work is a first-of-its-kind mapping of marine ecosystems that is globally comprehensive, objectively produced, and three-dimensional from sea surface to seafloor. The ocean was subdivided into 37 chemically and physically distinct volumetric regions called ecological marine units (EMUs), a marine ecosystem analog to the terrestrial ELUs.
The EMUs were developed in response to the need for a high resolution, standardized, and data-derived map of global ecosystems for use in analyses of climate change impacts, assessments of economic and non-economic value of ecosystem goods and services, biodiversity conservation planning, and natural resource management.
The work was done in a public/private partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Esri, and was commissioned by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) as part of an intergovernmental protocol called the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

I have been using FrogDance's GelEval software for awhile now, and I have to say it is super easy to use and make the quantification of westerns and gels in general very easy.
I would normally give a quick run thru on how to actually use the software at this stage, but it really is quite simple and straight forward that I don't think its really necessary…. unlike ImageJ which does require quite a lot of work to get its (free) gel quantification working.
I hope some of you find it as useful as I have !

Killer Pistorius may be free in weeks
948 просмотрs
A parole board is set to recommend that the disgraced athlete Oscar Pistorius, convicted in the killing of his girlfriend, be released from prison in August, South Africa's Department of Correctional Services told CNN on Monday.
Pistorius, 28, was sentenced in October to five years in prison for culpable homicide in the killing of Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013. In South Africa, culpable homicide means a person was killed unintentionally but unlawfully.
Pistorius acknowledged firing shots through the bathroom door in his home, but said he thought there was an intruder in the bathroom rather than his girlfriend.
Pistorius' fall from grace was one of the most dramatic since that of O.J. Simpson, the American football player turned sports announcer and movie star, who was charged with murder in the 1994 deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
Simpson was acquitted in a criminal trial but found responsible for the deaths in a subsequent civil suit.
Like Simpson, Pistorius was handsome, popular and wealthy from commercial endorsements when the charges were filed.
In his 2014 trial, a judge found Pistorius to be not guilty of murder. Prosecutors are appealing that verdict.
Both of Pistorius' legs were amputated before his first birthday. In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Pistorius became the first athlete with both legs amputated to participate in the Olympic Games, running in the 400-meter race and the 4x400 meter relay.
Under South African law, Pistorius must serve at least one-sixth of his sentence -- 10 months -- before being released. The parole board is prepared to recommend that he be released on August 21, 10 months to the day since his sentencing.
Steenkamp's parents reportedly wrote a letter to the parole board in protest, calling for accountability.
South African broadcaster eNCA published the letter, which read, in part: "As her family, we do not seek to avenge her death and we do not want Mr. Pistorius to suffer; that will not bring her back to us. However a person found guilty of a crime must be held accountable for their actions.
"Statistics show that our society is under continuous attack from criminals and murderers. Incarceration of 10 months for taking a life is simply not enough. We fear that this will not send out the proper message and serve as the deterrent it should."
