Q: C# JavaScriptSerializer serialize fields that not exists in interface but do exists in original object I'm trying to serialize an object without some fields.
I've tried to define interface without those fields, and then cast and serialize it but the JavaScriptSerializer includes those fields as well.
interface iStam {
    public int a {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

class Stam :iStam{
    private int _a = 0;
    public int a {
        get {return _a;}
        set {_a = value;}
    }
    public int b = 0;
}

void fun() {
    Stam s = new Stam();
    /*
    s.a == 0;
    s.b == 0;
    */
    iStam _s = (iStam) s;
    /*
    _s.a == 0;
    _s.b Not exists!  compilation error.
    */

    JavaScriptSerializer jss = new JavaScriptSerializer ();
    Console.WriteLine(jss.Serialize(_s));
}

Expected:
{
    "a":0
}

Got:
{
    "a":0,
    "b":0,
}

Why?

A: The problem here seems to be that JavaScriptSerializer.Serialize() accepts an object argument, and not a generic type, and it serializes the object based on its class signature not as the interface you cast to. JavaScriptSerializer is rather old (possibly deprecated) and it is recommended to use Newtonsoft.Json or another serializer nowadays.
However, if you have no choice but to use JavaScriptSerializer then you can annotate the properties and fields you don't want serialized with the ScriptIgnore attribute.
In class Stam:
[ScriptIgnore]
public int b = 0;

Call as before but no need to cast:
Stam s = new Stam();
JavaScriptSerializer jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Console.WriteLine(jss.Serialize(s));

Output:
{"a":0}

If you need more flexibility, and again if you can't move to a more modern serializer, then you'll need to write a JavaScriptConverter.

Iran Tries To Unify Currency Rates To Halt Rial's Decline
A money changer in Tehran holding out a US dollar bill and the equivalent in rials, in 2016. Since then, the Iranian currency has lost more than a third of its value.
Iranian authorities have vowed to enforce a single exchange rate to the U.S. dollar in a bid to stop a slide that has seen Iran's rial currency fall by more than one-third in seven months.
First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said that from April 10 on, the government will sell the dollar at a rate of 42,000 rials to all individuals and businesses who have a "legal needs."
But the nuance in his announcement is the words "legal needs" for dollars. This means dollars will be provided to those businesses that have official permission to import into Iran or other approved transactions. However, individuals and businesses who wish to convert their savings or profits into hard currency will not be able to buy unlimited dollars from official banks.
Later on April 10, Iran's Central Bank announced that holding more than 10,000 Euros or its equivalent in foreign currencies is forbidden for individuals.
This means that an acute need for hard currency will not diminish by Jahangiri's announcement. According to latest reports received from Iran, all non-governmental exchanges remain closed or idol, because no one in the private sector believes the real value of the dollar is 42,000 rials.
Reports from Tehran as of mid-day April 10 indicate that the banks have not made any dollars available at the 42,000 rial rate as promised by Jahangiri. In fact, bank and official exchange dealers are selling dollars for 50,000 rials.
Speaking late on April 9, after an emergency cabinet meeting, Jahangiri asserted that that "enemies" of Iran were behind the currency's decline.
He said the move will effectively unify Iran's official and open market exchange rates.
Jahangiri said that trading at any other rate than 42,000 rials for a dollar will be considered "contraband" and will be dealt with "severely" by law enforcement authorities.
The move came after the rial slid to 60,000 rials against the dollar on the unregulated market on April 9, according to media reports. The U.S. currency stood at 36,000 rials in mid-September.
The slide came amid speculation that the United States would pull out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers in May. The agreement provided Iran with relief from sanctions in return for curbs on its nuclear program.
Jahangiri blamed "non-economic, unjustified, and unpredictable factors" for driving the rial's collapse, saying tens of billions of dollars worth of foreign currency had flowed into Iran in recent weeks from the country's export revenues.
"It's natural that our enemies and opponents, especially the Americans, after the nuclear deal was agreed and after [U.S. President Donald] Trump took office, have made great efforts to try and present Iran's economy as turbulent and try to discourage anyone from working with Iran," Jahangiri said.
Government spokesman Mohammad Bagher Nobakht said on April 10 that Iran brings in some $95 billion a year in foreign currency, mostly from crude oil exports, while $80 billion are spent on imports.
But Iran's economic system is overburdened by inefficient state owned industries and companies, besides huge outlays for a myriad of religious institutions and covert military expenditures.
Trump has threatened to pull the United States out of the nuclear agreement and reimpose sanctions on Iran in May unless new restrictions are placed on its atomic and missile programs.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on April 9 warned that Washington "will regret it" if Washington violates the accord.

Kennewick – Steve David gave Art Oberto a victory at Seafair two years ago for his 80th birthday present.
Scrambling to figure out what to buy the Beef Jerky king for his upcoming 82nd birthday, David settled for a victory at the 44th Columbia Cup on Sunday.
While he was at it, the 55-year-old driver of the U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto gave himself a little present: the national points lead.
A day after taking the lead over Auburn's Dave Villwock – only to give it back an hour later when he was penalized 150 points for a lane infraction – David was perfect on Sunday, winning his three heats.
Because of Elam's woes, David and Oberto were easily the top team Sunday. The hardest part for David was waiting two hours after its last preliminary until the final.
With seven boats in the final, the Columbia was a nasty river.
J.W. Myers, driving the U-37 Hoss Mortgage for injured Jean Theoret, hit the start line sprinting and was first to the first turn.
David, careful not to jump the gun, fell a few seconds behind. But David was in firm command coming out the turn and easily ran to victory in the five-lap final.
Villwock, meanwhile, had the unfamiliar role of driving the trailing boat to start because the Elam hadn't compiled enough points during the weekend.
Racing on rough water broke the left sponson and damaged a wing – about $10,000 in damage, Villwock estimated.
Jeff Bernard drove the U-5 Formulaboats.com to a second-place finish, while Myers finished third in the U-37.
Earlier in the day, J.Michael Kelly flipped the U-7 Graham Trucking in a straightaway of heat 2A. Kelly came out of the boat quickly, shaken but unhurt.
David heads to Seattle with a 4,560-3,941 lead over Villwock with three races remaining.

Mrs. H
Nigel and his team were recommended to us, we were looking for a trusted builder who could complete a side return in the kitchen and a loft conversion at the same time whilst we continued to live in the property! A massive project and one that Premier Lofts took on in a professional, informative, advisory and well managed capacity. After hundreds of cups of coffee and many weeks of work we now have our dream home. Sympathetically converted to a very high standard and spot on to our vision. We got to know the team well, they made sure they kept the disruption to our family to a minimum where they could, kept us informed at every step of the way, helped us make those challenging decisions. If I had to do any major building work again - Nigel would be the first person I would call.
Nigel and his team came by personal recommendation to us and we're brilliant. We had our loft converted last year, and from the moment Nigel came round for the iniatial assessment and quote it was clear we were dealing with a professional who know's his trade and what can and can't be down within the space (ours was tight!!). Throughout the build the team made every effort to minimise disruption to our lives and my working life (as I work from home). We are delighted with the finished result and because of Nigel's dedication to detail were able to install a beautiful en suite into our now master bedroom, while still providing us with adequate loft storage too. All members of the team from the electrician, plumber, plasterer and carpenter did an excellent job and the finish is superb. Many of our friends and family have been impressed too. As a consequence Nigel has just begun work on another job for a friend of ours based upon our recommendation - we can't recommend him highly enough!
Mr. W & Ms. S
We cannot recommend premier Lofts highly enough. Nigel and his team have produced high quality craftsmanship by installing an en suite loft bedroom as well as a complete renovation of a late Victorian house. throughout the project all those involved have proved thoroughly reliable, trustworthy and eager to ensure that everything is completed to the highest standards. it has been a real pleasure to watch skilled craftsmen work with such pride and enthusiasm. at appropriate times Nigel has been able to provide very helpful design i8deasusing his wealth of experience. During the time the team have been working with us they have been extremely helpful and always willing to go the extra mile. we are loving our 'new' home and are happy for Nigel to use us as a contact to demonstrate the quality of his work. our one regret is that we have not taken any 'before and after' photos to remind us of the journey! With heartfelt thanks to Nigel and the team Liz Salway and Nigel Wills
From our first contact with Premier Lofts for a quotation to the completion of our project, Nigel and his team have been professional and offered good advice and suggestions. This has ensured we have the loft rooms we wanted in a challenging space. We firmly believe this would not have been the outcome if we had chosen any other company. Nigel's priority is ensuring the customer is always satisfied. His team of highly skilled craftsmen are hard-working, courteous and tidy and we would have no hesitation in recommending Premier Lofts to anyone considering a conversion.
Mr & Mrs T
From our first meeting with Nigel we felt that we had picked the right company for our plans, although at the time we were unsure of what to do with our dingy, partly converted loft. Nigel gave us very good advice and guidance towards the conversion that would complete our house. We had gone on recommendation from a neighbour and were not disappointed. The team worked well together, dealt with any unforeseen issues easily and professionally. Nigel and his team restored our faith in the building profession, as previous work by another company was nowhere near the standard of Premier Lofts. We were consulted throughout the building process and our requests and suggestions were treated with respect and in some cases Nigel gave us gentle guidance to a more practical and comfortable solution. We have no hesitation in recommending Nigel and his team as we have praised them already to our neighbours and friends some of whom have seen their finished product on our invitation. Even during construction neighbours were commenting on how well the work was being done, and how hard they worked. Thank you Nigel for an excellent Dormer conversion. Lesley & Phil Meadway Looe
Mr & Mrs B
Nigel Fisher and his team are extremely conscientious, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They undertook a complex part build in our loft. From the very beginning, when dealing with architects and structural engineers, Nigel was very supportive and came up with sensible and practical solutions for our conversion. This continued throughout the whole process and whilst on site the team were particularly professional, efficient and capable. Nigel explained the process, as it happened, to ensure that we were at ease. The team worked extremely hard each day and were receptive to last minute minor changes in design. Once the structural build was complete Nigel continued to provide support with Building Control and answering numerous questions that cropped up as I completed the next part of the build. We would not hesitate to recommend Nigel and his team. Sean and Laura
Mr & Mrs P
Dear Nigel, We had a part-build loft conversion carried out by Premier Lofts and were very pleased with the overall service provided. We found the team very conscientious and easy to deal with. In particular, we found Nigel Fisher a great asset to our particular design process, providing a more realistic and cost effective solution than our previous architect was providing. Nigel was very good at helping you visualise the design and explaining the important structural elements. He communicated very well, so you knew what you were getting and when. And was always willing to talk through the construction and solutions for the finishing stages, which was being carried out by myself after the part-build was complete. Nigel's realistic approach to projects, is friendly, welcoming, cost effective, trustworthy and recommendable to anyone. Best wishes, Adrian & Joy.
Dear Nigel, We are very happy with our loft and kitchen extension that Premier Loft Conversions installed, we particularly liked the fact that we could be involved at all stages throughout the building work as little or as much as we liked. We were especially pleased with the overall finish and the space we have gained. Nigel was also very helpful in putting us in contact with other reputable tradesman that he knew towards the end of the build in order that we were able to have all the fittings and finishes installed in the rooms straight away and this meant we were then free to start enjoying our new space straight away. We would thoroughly recommend Nigel and his team as a trustworthy, price competitive, professional and friendly building firm who we have just as good a relationship with now as we had at the start of the build. All The Best, Stephen.
Mr & Mrs H
We are delighted with the loft conversion that Premier Lofts built for us. Nigel and his team were fantastic, hard working ,reliable, trustworthy and a pleasure to have around- we quite missed them when they had finished!! Nigel visited us many times prior to the planning permission being granted to ensure we were happy with the design and he worked hard to incorporate the features we asked for. We were fully consulted throughout the build to ensure we were happy with the work as it progressed. The quality of the work was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We would have no doubts in recommending Premier Lofts. Pete and Nikki Beacon Park Plymouth
Mr & Mrs S
Nigel and his team converted our loft space into two bedrooms in 2005 and we were very impressed with their work. Any mess was kept to a minimum and always cleaned up. Work was finished on time, to a very high standard and the rooms have stood up to the 2 teenage girls who occupy them. We have not had any reason to call them back, apart from when we wanted some other work carried out in a different part of the house, which we are equally happy with! Tony & Debbie.
Dear Nigel, Just a few lines to let you know how pleased we are with our loft conversion carried out by Premier Lofts. From the initial discussions we found your advice, ideas and suggestion extremely helpful and constructive. The work started as agreed and continued on schedule to the completion. All the team were polite friendly and very obliging at all times, despite the fact that we changed our minds on particular issues a number of times... But perhaps most important of all the work was carried out to a high standard leaving us with a home that we are proud to show others. Thank you. Yours sincerely, David and Linda East Looe. Cornwall.
Having received a number of quotations for our loft conversion our decision to use Premier was largely influenced by a recommendation from a family friend. Mr Fisher visited our home and listened to our ideas and thoughts, he then assessed our plans and offered suggestions of how we could improve the design and ensure a successful planning application. Premier Lofts then arranged for an architect to visit the home and produce detailed plans which were submitted for planning permission. With permission granted, Mr. Fisher arranged a starting date that was convenient to my family. The work force arrived on time and rapidly progressed with the project. Premier Lofts employed a variety of tradesmen who were all polite, helpful and professional. Disruption to our home was kept to a minimum as the workforce entered the property externally through a hole in the roof which was made for a dormer. As the project developed, our views and ideas were sought and, where practical, included in the scheme. This additional work, which included a walk in wardrobe, an extra window, additional tiling and plastering, was all priced and agreed to avoid and surprises. I found Premier Lofts to be a very professional, reliable and friendly company who I would employ again should the need arise. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Mr & Mrs D
Nigel and the gang converted our cobwebbed rafters into the bedroom of our dreams during the summer of 2008. What started as a fourth bedroom for guests soon became our master bedroom when we realised how beautiful the finished product was going to be...it would have been criminal to waste it on guests! The photos in the gallery don't tell the whole story; the quality of the work, the care and dedication of all his team, the level of consultation and the attention to detail during all stages of the project were all outstanding. So much so that Premier Lofts ended up fully refurbishing our main bathroom and a number of other challenging joinery projects around the house and we have recommended them to several other satisfied customers. Our area is quickly becoming a portfolio of Nigel's work...it won't be long before our street is renamed Premier Street! Regards,
Jase, Mel and the boys
Mr & Mrs W
We are extremely happy customesr of Premier Loft Conversions. At the end of last year (2008), Nigel and his team completed a high quality loft conversion on our house. We had previously experienced an unfortunate incident with another company, however Nigel never failed to put us at ease and consult us at every stage of the game. The conversion was completed relatively quickly, despite prolonged periods of bad weather and the house was always left in a clean and tidy state. The finished conversion is absolutely superb! It has a quality finish and never fails to wow our guests. The extension has not only transformed our house, but has transformed our quality of life as we have a beautiful and restful environment to escape the kids! I would not fail to recommend Nigel and 'Premier Loft Conversions' to complete any work you are thinking of having done, especially at such reasonable prices.
Jo and Darren
Mr & Mrs F
We had our loft converted this summer by Nigel and his team at Premier loft conversion and could not be happier with the end result.From the start of the project Nigel was always there to offer advice and use his experience so we got the most from our conversion .We chose Premier lofts after viewing a friends conversion and the attention to detail and finish was of the highest standard and really did live up to our expectations.During the build Nigel and his team fitted in around our family lives and it was strange when they had finished not having them around. In our opinion if you are planning a loft conversion then look no further than the team at Premier loft conversions. Martyn and Jo, Woodford, Plymouth
We can't recommend Nigel and his team highly enough (NB Nigel was highly recommended to us!) From start to finish we were able to rely on Nigel and his team. Nigel provided sound advice regarding our project and a highly competitive quote. The conversion was completed ahead of schedule and we were very grateful for the continuous consultation and updates provided throughout. Having major work done in the house you are continuing to live in could potentially be quite stressful - but the whole team clearly understood this and made every effort to minimise disruption and ensure we as customers were happy throughout the work. Great workmanship throughout, clearly an experienced team who know exactly what they are doing. We are so pleased with the final result and almost feel we now live in a totally different house! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Premier Loft Conversions .....in fact we already have to many people in the village! Babb Family Bere Alston
Mr & Mrs S-H
The prospect of converting a loft invariably feels rather daunting however Premier Lofts came highly recommended and after our first meeting with Nigel Fisher, we felt confident that Nigel was the man for the task in hand. Following our initial consultation, Nigel submitted a professional and detailed quotation and answered all of our questions (and there were a lot) with ease and confidence. All works were carried out to schedule and the team were conscientious and trustworthy at all times. Our once ramshackle loft space has been transformed into a beautiful and tranquil master bedroom which looks integral and complimentary to the house. The hip to gable and large rear dormer with French style windows enhance our unique space. We highly recommend Nigel and his team at Premier lofts. The Smale-Hyne Family
Mr. S
When we saw Nigel and Premier Lofts we knew that they were right for us. We saw three other companies and felt most comfortable with Nigel and his team. We were impressed by their pragmatic approach and realistic advice, just what we needed when embarking on a major project such as this. Our ideas were taken forward to reality and we couldn't be happier. Nigel suggested positive recommendations and the final space is better for it. The Premier Lofts team are courteous, polite and were very clean, respecting our home at all times. We were informed of what would happen at every stage and nothing was too much trouble. We had plenty of questions, Nigel and the team were generous with their answers which assured us and with regard to progress moving forward. We were keen to reinstall a lot of the period features in the house leading up to the new loft and Nigel recommended some fantastic craftsmen to create some quite complex features. We have been very impressed and so have our neighbours! It was quite a journey, but one well worth taking. Thank you Nigel and your team, you're obviously called Premier Lofts for a very good reason! Symon and Steve Peverell, Plymouth

Salvestrol is een term uit de complementaire en alternatieve geneeskunde waarmee een verzameling plantaardige stoffen wordt aangeduid die ervoor zouden zorgen dat kankercellen afsterven. Het betreft een aantal specifieke fytoalexinen, verbindingen die planten gebruiken in een afweerreactie tegen bijvoorbeeld schimmels en bacteriën.
Er bestaat geen wetenschappelijk bewijs voor de klinische werking van deze stoffen.

Britse ontdekking
De term is voor het eerst in 2002 gebruikt door Britse onderzoekers en is afgeleid van 'salvage' (redden). In eerder onderzoek werd een enzym ontdekt dat geassocieerd is met tumorcellen, het CYP1B1 enzym.. Latere experimenten toonden aan dat salvestrolen substraat zijn voor het CYP1B1 enzym en dat de resulterende metabolieten in vitro de apoptose (geprogrammeerde celdood) van kankercellen kunnen inleiden.

Onderzoek
In vivo zijn tot dusver alleen enkele casusen over een behandeling met salvestrol gepubliceerd..

Salvestrol in voeding

Salvestrolen zijn afkomstig uit planten, waaronder groente, fruit en kruiden. Belangrijke soorten zijn dan asperges, rucola, avocado, spinazie, aardbeien, sinaasappels, druiven, peterselie, basilicum, rozemarijn en tijm. Salvestrolen worden vooral aangetroffen in biologisch geteelde gewassen. In producten van de reguliere landbouw zijn de gehaltes veel lager. Dit heeft te maken met het feit dat gewassen de salvestrolen voornamelijk na inductie aanmaken: de plant moet de stof zelf nodig hebben. Door het gebruik van bestrijdingsmiddelen zoals fungiciden in de reguliere landbouw hoeft de plant de stoffen niet te maken. Een tweede probleem wordt gevormd door de bittere smaak die veel salvestrolen aan gewassen geven: bij het kweken van groente en fruit wordt juist geprobeerd de bittere smaak eruit te krijgen. Ook uniformiteit qua grootte en vorm leidt tot een afname van salvestrolen. Salvestrolen worden ook uit geraffineerde voedingsmiddelen zoals vruchtensap en olijfolie verwijderd ter "verbetering" van de smaak, kleur en helderheid.

Bij het koken van groente belandt een groot deel van de salvestrolen in het kookwater.

De werkzame dosis van salvestrolen zal vermoedelijk zo hoog zijn, dat deze waarschijnlijk alleen in de vorm van voedingssupplementen bereikt kan worden en de promotie van deze therapie komt dan ook vooral uit deze hoek.

Kering reports rental interest with stake in Cocoon
By Barbara M. Sanchez on	 June 24, 2021 Marketing Process
Rental companies have been hit hard by the pandemic as events have reduced the need for party outfits and handbags. But as the bottlenecks lift, brands like Ralph Lauren and Rebecca Minkoff are recognizing the potential of leasing to move inventory and reach new customers, especially for a growing demographic of digitally savvy, digital-conscious customers. durability. However, rental, like resale, has not yet been widely adopted by the big luxury players, so Kering's investment marks a significant change in mentality, even if it is modest. Kering also took a 5 percent stake in the top luxury resale site Vestiaire Collective in March.
"Kering is at the forefront with an investment" with its feet in the water "in several new business models: Vestiaire Collective in the" second life ", Farfetch (via Artemis) in the marketplace, and now in rental. It seems wise to have a chip in these companies, "explains Luca Solca, luxury analyst at Bernstein. "I do not see any major risks associated with this movement, considering that the Kering brands will be able to set up safeguards to avoid any potential trivialization. On the contrary, I think it's smart to run low-investment experiments like these, with the prospect of staying at the forefront of innovation.
Despite the tough business time during Covid, "rental models are about to accelerate again in a post-pandemic world," said Sarah Willersdorf, head of global luxury at the Boston Consulting Group. A recent BCG investigation in partnership with the Altagamma Foundation, found that even during the difficult last year, 21% of Gen Z and Millennials rented products. A greater concern for sustainability and the pursuit of value has made consumers think more about access than ownership, she says. Leasing also has the potential to be a tool for acquiring customers, especially with younger customers, as well as being used to test different products and styles and generate returns on underperforming inventory, adds Willersdorf.
Bath reports The growth of a modern and sustainable luxury business over the next 10 years may depend on rental and resale, with rental accounting for 10% of revenue by 2030.
Contemporary brands like Nanushka and Ganni have become more open to this new consumption model and have become involved through partnerships with existing rental platforms. Hurr, My Wardrobe HQ, and OnLoan all launched white label solutions in May, and Rotaro is in talks with potential launch partners slated for this year. However, many luxury players like LVMH do not offer rentals, and there are no concrete plans yet for Kering's brands to enter the space themselves. "We sometimes fear that there will be a negative impact on the brand if it does not fully control the merchandise. If a luxury brand enters the rental market through a partner, there will need to be a guarantee that the products are well maintained between uses, and they must provide exceptional service, "says Willersdorf of BCG.

I couldn't be happier with my second choice of the season for using pumpkin. As I said in my pumpkin waffle post, I've been bookmarking pumpkin recipes like crazy. This one was recommended by my friend Kirsten who has me wanting to move in with her to reap the delicious benefits of her late night baking.
Instead, I too enticed by the desire for a midnight batch of cookies, got to work setting my next can of pumpkin in action. I've actually never been a huge pumpkin cookie fan, so normally it wouldn't have been second on my list for ways to use pumpkin. But when I saw the photos of these on Sweet Treats & More, brimming with oats and chocolate chips, my eyes had my stomach convinced that pumpkin cookies I must make.
Best choice I could've made. These are far superior to the sweet, cake-like pumpkin cookies I'm used to. The ones where I'm usually wishing I was eating a slice of pumpkin pie instead. Rather, these are full of irresistible, chocolaty deliciousness, with oats that add a real, chewy texture to the typical texture-lacking pumpkin cookie. Oh, and they're whole wheat too. Who would've guessed? I went with white whole wheat flour and didn't find any issue with density. The only thing I might add next time are a couple handfuls of walnuts for an even extra element of additively rich texture and taste.
Serve to a hungry stomach with a glass of almond milk.
In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugars, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
Add and mix in butter, mixing until crumbly.
Stir in egg and pumpkin. Then the rolled oats and chocolate chips.
Drop heaping spoonfuls onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 10-12 minutes.
These look decadent… and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the recipe!
Sounds fabulous. I am definitely making these one day! I like your idea of adding walnuts. I am obsessed with walnuts, in everything, and by the handful.
This looks amazing – I will hopefully have time to make this recipe sometime this week.
Also, I am obsessed with that white whole wheat flour.

Narendra Modi to inaugurate India's longest bridge in Assam near China border
2 min read . Updated: 14 May 2017, 06:14 PM IST PTI
Narendra Modi will inaugurate India's longest bridge over the Brahmaputra in Assam close to the border with China on 26 May
Dibrugarh: India's longest river bridge, capable of withstanding the weight of a 60-tonne battle tank, will be inaugurated in Assam close to the border with China on 26 May by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
With the inauguration of the 9.15-km-long Dhola-Sadiya bridge over the Brahmaputra river, the prime minister will kick start the celebrations of the NDA government's three years in office from this eastern-most part of Assam.

The bridge is seen as an attempt by India to shore up its defence requirements along the Sino-Indian border particularly in the Northeast besides providing easy access to the people of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam with air and rail connectivity.
It is 3.55 km longer than the Bandra-Worli sea link in Mumbai, making it the longest bridge in India. "The prime minister will dedicate the strategically important bridge to the nation on 26 May. It will bolster the road connectivity in the Northeast as the bridge will be used by people of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh besides defence forces extensively," Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal told PTI.
The construction of the bridge began in 2011 at a project cost of Rs950 crore. The design is such that the bridge can withstand the movement of military tanks. "Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have huge strategic value to the country. Since the bridge is located close to our border with China, it will help quick movement of military troops and artillery in times of conflict," Sonowal said.
The bridge is located 540-km away from Assam capital Dispur and 300 km away from Arunachal Pradesh capital Itanagar. The aerial distance to the Chinese border is less than 100 km. After Kaliabhomora bridge near Tezpur, there is no bridge over the Brahmaputra for the next 375 km upstream till Dhola, where the new bridge is constructed.
Currently, all the transport between the two banks of the river are being carried out through water only. The bridge, when opened for the public, will cut down the travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by as much as four hours.
As there is no civilian airport in Arunachal Pradesh, this bridge will help people of the state to reach the nearest rail head in Tinsukia and the airport in Dibrugarh easily. Sonowal said the delayed works of the bridge was expedited after Modi assumed the charge in 2014.
The bridge was originally scheduled to open in 2015. The BJP government in Assam will complete one year in office on May 24. The bridge is one of the key projects of the ministry of road transport and highways in the Northeast and is built in public-private partnership with a construction company.

Q: CSS Styles conflict I have a website created by a designer entirely in a table format. I am embedding another table within its cell, the thing is my table has its own stylesheet. When I link mine externally, the entire site get warped. All I want is my Stylesheet to work on my table.
How do I include this stylesheet without causing a conflict or override on the entire site?

A: If there's no better option, then give your table an id or specific class. Then use this in all your CSS declarations, ensuring the styles within will apply to only your new table. This article explains the idea of pseudo-namespacing further, which is worth considering.
So instead of:
td { border: 1px solid black; }

You would have, e.g.:
.myClass td { border: 1px solid black; }

A: There are two kinds of things to take care of: 1) preventing your style sheet from affecting the table used for formatting the entire table, and 2) preventing the formatting of that table from affecting your table. Your style sheet must be modified for this.
Start from assigning a unique id to your table and then using the corresponding selector in all rules of your stylesheet (see Rob W's answer). This suffices for 1). It mostly suffices for 2), too, but not always. You should test it and have a look at the overall style sheet. There is no quick way here.
To illustrate the problematic point, suppose that you want your table to have borders around cells. For this you could have table#foo td { border: solid; }. But if the overall style sheet has td { border: none !important; }. That's not good practice, but such things are used; authors often use !important for no good reason. In this case, if the overall style sheet cannot be changed, you would need to use !important in your style sheet, too. In extreme cases, you might even need to use !important and write selectors so that they are more specific.


The publication is an advent to policing and police powers, designed for the newbie who desires to research the topic as much as measure point or the identical. It covers the policing and police powers features of LLB constitutional legislation and civil liberties, in addition to for felony justice classes at post-graduate in addition to undergraduate point.
This readable introductory textbook offers a concise survey of lexicology. the 1st component of the ebook is a survey of the learn of phrases, delivering scholars with an outline of easy matters in defining and figuring out the note as a unit of language. This part additionally examines the heritage of lexicology, the evolution of dictionaries and up to date advancements within the box.
Now suppose that f is a (P, γ)-partition. Let w be the chain with underlying set P and order defined by: p < q in w if 1. f (p) < f (q) or 2. f (p) = f (q) and γ(p) < γ(q). 13 ensures that one of the two conditions is satisfied. Thus w is a linear extension of P, and it is clearly the only one for which f is a (w, γ)-partition. The converse is trivial: If w is a linear extension of P, then every (w, γ)-partition is also a (P, γ)-partition. 23. 24. If (P, γ) is a labelled poset, then its weight enumerator F(P, γ) = ∑ F(w, γ), where the sum is over all linear extensions w of P.
2. We shall use the following notation. Given a composition α = (α1 , . . , αk ) and a k-tuple I = (i1 , . . , ik ) of positive integers i1 < · · · < ik , let xIα α denote the monomial xiα11 · · · xikk . A quasisymmetric function is a formal power series f ∈ Q[[x1 , x2 , . ]] such that 1. f has finite degree, 32 3 Hopf algebras 2. f is invariant under the action of S∞ on Q[[x1 , x2 , . I is defined to be the k-tuple obtained by arranging the numbers σ (i1 ), . . , σ (ik ) in increasing order.
Then we define the composition corresponding to a path P with m steps, denoted by γP , to be γP = (γ1 , . . 11) where  if the i-th step is (1, 0) and Pi−1 = (q − 1, r − 1)  αq if the i-th step is (0, 1) and Pi−1 = (q − 1, r − 1) γi = βr  αq + βr if the i-th step is (1, 1) and Pi−1 = (q − 1, r − 1). Equivalently, we define the composition γP = (γ1 , . . , γm ) corresponding to a path P with m steps recursively as follows. If the i-th step of P is (0, 1) or (1, 0), we let γi be the leftmost part of α or β , respectively, that has not been used previously to define a part of γP ; and if the i-th step is (1, 1), we let γi be the sum of the leftmost parts of α and β that have not been used previously.

Edible Schoolyard's Plant Sale, Chez Panisse's meat locker
By Paolo Lucchesi on May 6, 2011 at 2:00 PM

The big buzz from the Chez Panisse universe this week was Wednesday's news that longtime chef David Tanis would be leaving Alice Waters' Berkeley landmark later this year. But there's more immediate news:
The Edible Schoolyard is holding its annual Mother's Day Plant Sale at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School (1781 Rose Street, Berkeley) on Saturday May 7th ( that's tomorrow) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be all kinds of plants for sale — tomatoes, herbs, flowers, fruit trees and so on. There will also be a raffle and plenty of food, ranging from pizza to Blue Bottle coffee to Ici ice cream to Pop-Up General Store. Of course, it's a great kid event, and the Edible Schoolyard students will be there, too, giving garden tours. More info here.
And since we're on the topic, here's a random YouTube video of a diner getting a tour of the Chez Panisse kitchen and meat locker, and sticking his camera in the faces of the chefs during service.

A Few Facts About Tuba Repair
by Rebecca Toby Letz
530 WEST 25th Street NY 10001
Neighborhood: Chelsea
It begins with a button marked Brass Lab. I press it and there is no answer and behind me groups of men in tank-tops work in automotive repair shops and listen to to Spanish music on mini-stereos set up next to the cars. Finally, a voice from above bellows, "It's open!" and I look up to a bald man who leans out from the fourth story window where the vines of a hanging plant droop down to the third floor. He is waving his arms as if to say, "come on up."
Charles McAlexander is a big man, maybe 220 pounds and 6 foot 1. He wears an old work shirt that used to be bright red but now is more of a calm royal maroon with the inscription of Brass Lab in gold cursive on the chest pocket of the left-hand side. The button up shirt is having trouble deciding which way to settle on account of the volume of his belly, as the buttons are being torn between leaning toward the right and toward the left because perhaps he has put on a little weight (or a lot) since the time he first got it. There are little spaces between the buttons and the fabric that I can see bare skin. He wears dark colored jeans and rolls them up funny at the bottom, like a farmer would, maybe four times with a thick fold that drops the pants right above his high-top hiking boots, which is high. When I hear that he absolutely loves Country and Western Music, I am not surprised in the slightest. He tells me to call him Chuck.
The Brass Lab is a warehouse with space extending to the back which is his shop, to the front which is the customer's space to poke around a little, to the very back which has a refrigerator and a microwave and a metal rod with two long-sleeved flannel shirts hanging from it. A Danger Do Not Enter Sign hangs in front of that part of the room, perhaps he likes his food too much to share it, perhaps it just happens to be right there. Or, perhaps it has something to do with the large "Toxic" chemical storage containers that are stacked next to the refrigerator.
Chuck has been a repair technician for close to 25 years which means he does just about everything except actually build the instrument itself, "from minor repairs to complete restoration; lacquering, sautering, finishing, you name it…" He did not inherit any musical interest from his family. He describes his mother's view on music simply: "She hates it."
Brass instruments, perhaps one hundred of them, French horns, trumpets, trombones, baritones, euphoniums, flugel horns and alto horns, hang from metal rods on the ceiling and others from rope that Chuck must have put up at least 25 years ago because it is covered in more than just the dust that accumulates as time goes on. Chuck says that what differentiates woodwind players from brass musicians is that brass instruments are "sexier" and that brass players, "have a little juice in them." Of woodwind players, he says, "they are squirly and anal retentive." There is a comic by the door that depicts the skeletal process of human evolution, from walking on all fours to the present development of walking on two feet. Each depiction of the skeleton is holding a trumpet. I bet that Chuck would agree that music has concurrently evolved with man's constantly changing stature.
It's funny how the tuba began, Chuck tells me. No one heard it. The tuba was designed so that the bell (the end of the tuba where the sound comes out) pointed straight up. Because of this nobody could ever hear it, especially in marching bands, because instead of going towards our ears, the sound was being emitted upwards instead. These old tubas were called raincatchers because they would be ready to catch whatever came down. The age old paradox was perfectly relevant: if sound is coming out but is not heard by anyone, is it sound at all? Apparently John Filip Sousa did not think so, so he invented the sousaphone which redesigned the tuba by wrapping it around spiral-like so it could face outwards, towards other people, instead of straight up. It changed the sound of the tuba somewhat, but at least now, people could actually hear it. The new design did, however, double the price.
There is a little bit of voodoo involved in making tubas. There can be two tubas made the same day at the same factory in the same way by the same people and one can come out sounding great and the other one can end up, "sounding like absolute crap." Chuck says that, "out of 100 tubas, three will be really good, three will be unplayable, and the rest will be just mediocre."
So much talk about tubas reminds Chuck of something and he gets a big grin on his face. There used to be a tuba in Manhattan that was world famous. It faced the street on the second floor above the revolving doors in Carl Fisher's music store which sold mostly sheet music. This tuba was a concert bass, not a double b flat but a quadruple!, and you needed to stand on a ladder to play it or clean it on account of the fact that it was "at least" nine to ten feet high. But two years ago, Carl Fisher went out of business and nobody knows what happened to the infamous tuba. "I mean, everybody knew about it." And now, nobody knows of its whereabouts.
We talk a lot about the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is what connects you to your horn, the mouthpiece fits you as well as the horn. "If you tried wearing my mouthpiece or vise versa," Chuck says, "it would feel like wearing someone else's false dentures." It's a life long search to find the perfect mouthpiece, and what complicates the search is that you are constantly changing. The strength of your muscles can wax and wane depending on the amount that you play and because of this you will have to find a new one; if you lose or gain as little as five pounds the mouthpiece will work differently from before and you will have to change it in response to your weight. Some people have gone through so many mouthpieces that they have boxes upon boxes of them stored up in their attics.
Chuck says that if there's anything that unites repairmen, it is that they were once musicians, but were not good enough– to make it a career, to go pro, to be able to depend on it financially. He also says that repairmen are not necessarily skilled, talented, or educated in what they do.
At Sacramento State College he gave up playing the trombone (because he just wasn't that good…) and it just so happened that he got a job as a salesman with one of his fraternity buddies at a music shop. He was a lousy salesman, "to put it lightly" and they came close to firing him altogether, but then decided to give him a try as a mechanic in the back room of the place. Chuck was immediately drawn to the mechanics of the music he used to play and quickly proved himself a good worker.
His first real job as a mechanic was at MusicCraft, a music repair shop in San Diego that had a large contract with the San Diego School District. They would ride around in an 18 wheel truck and go to all the schools in town and just load the thing up with all kinds of horns from the various schoolhouses. They would fill it three times before they had collected them all and would work all summer long to get them ready for the Fall.
The shop he owns now began in the same space, but with only a workbench in the bedroom in 1983. There have never been any other workers, just him and his wife. His wife is the business manager and handles problems with the bank and the government. "She deals with all the b.s. involved in the bureaucracy of running a business. She doesn't want to do it, but she does, and she does it well," he mentions off-handedly.
He likes his job because he is paid to do what he would do on his day off. There are few things that really "tickle his brain" so two years ago he decided to branch out into antique restoration work as well where he replicates old pieces of furniture or chandeliers or drawer handles and it is quite a challenge to make something new look just as old as the hundred year old hand-crafted something that has deteriorated in its old age. Now, he says he gets a challenge, "at least four times, no, five times a week."
What doesn't he like about his job? "The people," he says instinctively, "without a doubt." The musicians who come in, he says, are idiot savants. They are phenomenal in one area but only that area, they don't read books or the news, they know nothing of the world around them, their conversations are about music and begin something like this: "so, what kind of mouthpiece are you using?" He compares them to a genius who can calculate adding 500 digit numbers faster than a computer but who cannot tell when they are hungry or when they need to go pee.
How well do professional musicians know their own instruments? "Hardly at all." "'Uh, yeah it's shiny,' might be all that they know." They may know how to push this button or that one very well, extremely well, but at the same time they do not know what exactly is going on inside, what a standing wave is or the resonating column of air inside of it, nor about the nodes or antinodes and the way that sound works it way through. They usually know nothing at all about the physics of the energy of vibration or the air or the tubing… In terms of horn maintenance, "they may grease it once in a while." Chuck says that 90% of his clientele are professionals. "Many of the musicians think that we are best friends." But, Chuck tells me that he is two-faced, I mean he is a businessman after all. He says that if he treated his customers the way he really thought about them, he would be out of business–in an instant.
Chuck's customers are not restricted to New York City in the slightest. His clientele live in Sweden, Spain, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean, Taiwan, England, Venezuela, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Israel. While he says many repairmen are not necessarily skilled, he is known across the globe for his mechanic dependability and prowess. He doesn't advertise, his customers come to him from information passed by word of mouth. He is, according to himself, "One of the best in the business."
Chuck says that the greatest repairmen, "know that they've never learned it all and that there's always something else to understand." There is no club that brass repairmen belong to, but rather a camaraderie between them.
He says of his competition, "I don't have any." "I am not god in repair," he says, "I just happen to be a good mechanic." Right now he is booking two months in advance. "I mean when the greats call me and I can't work on their horns for over two months, they think I'm arrogant, but really it's just the truth."
When I turn to leave, he immediately goes back to his work and I see him working intently on a certain trumpet, and he doesn't look up once, even though I stay for much longer after our good-bye, just snooping and looking around the place.

Holy cow, this blog will be 8 years old on July 9th.
Last year you voted to interview me for the blog's birthday. I had so much fun answering everyone's questions, and readers seemed to enjoy it a lot, too. So I'd be happy to have you guys interview me again this year, if you'd like.
Giveaways are always fun, too. Because YOU are the ones who benefit from them. 😉 So this option might be a good one if you'd like to see something other than a second interview. Maybe I could give away some first-chapter critiques (me giving feedback on your WIP's first chapter)? How about your choice from my favorite books on the craft of writing? Or, maybe both?
Nandini @ Pages That Rustle recently tagged me on the First Post Revisited Blog Hope. So this is something I'm planning to do anyways, but it could a neat way of celebrating the site's birthday, by looking back on my bloggish beginnings and reflecting on how the site and I have changed since then.
Like with last year's blogoversary, I've created a poll for you to vote on which option you like best. Of course, if you have other suggestions for the blogoversary, that's great, too! Feel free to share them in your comments to this post.
Votes, comments, and suggestions will be accepted through Thursday, June 8th.
EDIT: The poll is now closed. Thank you for voting!
What do you think would be a good blogoversary post this year? What have you done at your own blog (or seen at other blogs you visit) to celebrate its birthday?
Blogoversary, Just For Fun, What Do You Think?
Thanks! I've seen other bloggers do giveaways, too, but I wanted to throw a few options out there to see what readers might be interested in. 🙂 And right now, that option has taken a big early lead, so let's see how this shakes out.
Interviews and Q and A's are always fun! I enjoy getting to learn about the bloggers I follow!
I would honestly be happy with any of the three options. Interviews are always great, and giveaways are always fun–I hosted one for my first year anniversary last year. I love the idea of revisiting your first post though. It would be nice to see your reflection on the past eight years and how you've grown.
It does, doesn't it? 😉 Thanks for your input, Faith.
I think you should do whatever you want for your blogoversary. 😉 Though asking readers for suggestions never hurts, either! Thanks very much, btw.
Oh no! I missed the poll. And seeing this announcement made me realize that I forgot about my own blogoversary. My blogging has been haphazard lately.
That's OK! Which option would you have voted for?
I'm coming late to this, and with no extra suggestions (maybe some fun facts about you and/or your blogging?), but I'm looking forward to see what you have prepared.
That's OK. 😉 Part 1 of the blogoversary "celebration" is posting Thursday and Part 2 on next Tuesday (the actual blogoversary falls on a Sunday, and I don't post on the weekends anymore). So you'll find out soon!

The Strawberry Hill Press was established on 25 June 1757 at Strawberry Hill, by the house's owner, Horace Walpole.  He called it the Officina Arbuteana, and many of the first editions of his own works were printed there. The first works printed at Strawberry Hill, on 8 August 1757, were two odes of Thomas Gray, The Progress of Poesy and The Bard. Through Walpole's influence Robert Dodsley published in 1753 the designs of Richard Bentley for the poems of Gray. Among the reprints were the Life of Lord Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury, Antoine Hamilton's Mémoires of Philibert de Gramont, Hentzner's Journey into England, and Lord Whitworth's Account of Russia.

And I bet we could've sold 1000 tickets easily; but that was our maximum number unless we changed locations. And that was out of the question. People drove all the way down from DC and up from Atlanta to join the party. The Salt & Smoke Festival really hit its stride that Sunday afternoon. It was a great day. The rain held off and people lined up to take selfies with the cooked pig. The oysters were perfect. And people danced in the barn all night long. It really felt like a tradition, like something strong and familiar. And that was our plan all along.

Stock your freezer with chicken siomai, a snack staple. These dainty dumplings are so simple to make and super quick to reheat.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling thoroughly, except for the egg and cornstarch.
Add the egg and mix well. Sprinkle cornstarch evenly on the mixture and mix well. Refrigerate the filling for 1 hour.
Separate the siomai wrappers. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Bring the sides of the wrapper over the mixture, pressing gently. Flatten the bottom by gently tapping each dumpling on a plate. Repeat with the remaining filling.
Lightly brush the steamer with sesame oil. Arrange siomai in the steamer. Steam for 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked. Garnish with diced carrots and green onions, if desired. Serve with soy sauce and chili-garlic sauce.
Make-ahead tip: To make ahead, form the dumplings and steam for 10 minutes. Let cool then store in the freezer in a container covered tightly with plastic wrap. When ready to eat, thaw then steam for 5 minutes or until hot.

A "huge" fire broke out in Smallfield with smoke reportedly visible from the M23 and Gatwick.
A post on the Horley Life Facebook page, posted at 10.36am, stated: "Huge fire in Smallfield, avoid area."
A member of staff at Smallfield Riding School in Broadbridge Lane later confirmed to SurreyLive that the fire broke out next to their site just before 10am on Wednesday (March 13) and that, as of 12.15pm, it was still being battled by firefighters.
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service attended with a fire engine and two water carriers with crews from Salfords, Godstone and Reigate involved.
The fire involved a pile of tyres that had been set alight. Residents were advised to close their windows while it was being dealt with.
See a recap of our live blog below for full details of the incident.

Fire service has left scene
A Surrey Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said the incident has been dealt with and has confirmed it was only the tyres that were set alight. He said: "We were called at around 10am to a fire at a site in Broadbridge Lane, Smallfield. Two fire engines and a water carrier were sent to deal with tyres which were on fire in the open and we left at around 12.40pm."
No caravans involved
A woman who says she is associated with the landowners says there are no caravans affected by the fire. She said a pile of tyres "left by the previous owners" of the site were set alight.

Pictures from scene
Salfords Fire Station's crew has posted photos of them tackling the fire, which appears to be a pile of burning tyres. I'm awaiting a response from the fire service press office to confirm whether caravans have been affected as suggested by Smallfield Riding School.
Residents living nearby are advised to keep their windows closed.
Police not in attendance
A spokeswoman for Surrey Police said the force had a report of a pile of tyres being set alight in Broadbridge Lane but that they were not requested to attend at this stage by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The fire service informed them abut the incident at about 11am.
It is possible that they could be involved later if it's deemed to be suspicious however the fire service will need to conduct their own investigation first
Horses are not affected
Another person at Smallfield Riding School told me there are six fire engines still at the scene. She said the fire broke out and spread to a number of caravans at the site next door.
She added: "The site was used for grazing but I don't know what they use it for now. They have fires there quite a lot but this is obviously the worst one."
She said the smoke had initially affected the riding school but the wind had since changed direction and the horses are far enough away that it's not reaching them now. She added: "There are two ponies in the next field that the fire brigade were concerned about."
'Black bubble of smoke'
Hayley McIntyre, who works at Smallfield Riding School, is the person I spoke to. She told me she came into work to clear out the stables and saw a "black bubble of smoke" so called the fire service at 9.58am.
She added: "I thought, that's not a normal wood fire so I called the fire brigade as it's not healthy to breathe that in. I gave them a call and they were here within 10-15 minutes. We're all good here, it hasn't affected us, but they are still there now."
Where exactly is it?
The fire has reportedly broken out at a site where a number of caravans are stored in Broadbridge Lane. It is adjacent to Smallfield Riding School. See the map below.
Everything we know so far
Here's what we know so far
The fire broke out shortly before 10am. A member of staff at Smallfield Riding School, in Broadbridge Lane, raised the alarm and called the fire service at 9.58am after spotting smoke coming from the site next to theirs.
It is thought that a number of caravans have caught fire
At least six fire engines are in attendance
Firefighters were still bringing it under control at 12.15pm
No horses at the Smallfield Riding School site are in danger although the staff member said firefighters had concerns about some ponies in a neighbouring field

REPORT: Forcht Bank in Kentucky Restricts Costumers From Buying Firearms
Male business executive giving a speech at conference center
Banks are now intentionally hindering customers' ability to manage their own funds and make critical purchases, as well as interfering with their ability to make their own financial decisions.
A new report out of Kentucky claims that Forcht Bank is prohibiting its customers from using debit cards to buy firearms.
The customer reportedly closed his account after the incident, according to a post published by the gun shop owner in a private group on Facebook called FFL Connects (Federal Firearms License).
"TRANSACTION DECLINED: CHARGE DECLINED. RESTRICTED CARD. CUSTOMER BANK DOES NOT ALLOW THIS CARD TO BE USED AT THIS TYPE OF MERCHANT," the error message reads.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the Forcht Bank for comment.
It can be recalled the International Organization for Standardization –the organization in charge of setting standards for business transactions — voted to create a "merchant category code" for gun purchases.
This will allow banks that process payment from gun retailers to assign the new code to the gun stores.
The decision comes after the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, along with other elected officials and state pension fund trustees, have requested that major credit card companies implement a weapon code for the purchase of firearms and ammunition.
Officials in New York City and the state of New York have asked American Express, MasterCard, and Visa to make a four-digit merchant category code (MCC) like the ones used for other retail categories to better identify and report suspicious behavior, such as large purchases of firearms.
"The creation of a new code would help financial institutions detect and report suspicious activity, such as unusually large purchases of firearms or ammunition, or purchases from multiple stores, that may be used for criminal purposes," it claimed.
According to the news release, "credit card companies use a four-digit merchant category code to classify businesses by the types of goods and services sold. Merchant category codes are set by the International Organization on Standardization (ISO). Unique merchant category codes exist for grocery stores, sporting goods stores, bicycle shops, and many other retailers — but not for gun and ammunition stores."
More from Pay Junction:
An MCC code is a Merchant Category Code. It is used to map business industries (like computer repair, dental, and insurance agencies) to a four-digit code (like 7379, 8021, and 6300 respectively). Occasionally, a customer's issuing credit card bank will block transactions if the credit card is used at an establishment they deem inappropriate for the type of credit card. As a possible example, HSA medical cards tend to be restricted cards, and would likely receive an invalid service code (62) if used at a movie theater.
As another example, occasionally there is no MCC code that adequately describes a merchant's business type, in which case your merchant account is assigned a generic MCC code of 7299. Some issuers will block customer transactions for businesses with a generic 7299 MCC code.
If you receive an invalid service code (62), you may want to check that your MCC code on file for your merchant account is accurate for your business industry.

Q: Converting an web application using Mustache Question: Will adding a templating engine such as Mustache, which has been converted into many different languages, assist in doing the same for a web application?

Background:
I am in the process of finishing up a product that will be reused many different times. Right now I have the back-end programmed in php. I was wondering if mustache.php or mustache.js would be beneficial to add to the web application, without reducing the performance noticeably. I was planning on making it easier to convert to JSP/Servlets, and ASP.NET/C#. Right now the variables that are set by the user such as logo, and Company name are sprinkled throughout the pages.

A: Choosing any templating language will be beneficial to your application. It will help you compartmentalize logic, improve the testability of your code (and your output), and, by constraining what you can do in any given layer, help you write objectively better code.
So yes, by all means, use a templating language.
Is Mustache(.php|.js) the right templating language to use? In my humble opinion (as a guy who wrote one of the two libraries in question) they are a very solid choice. The portability between implementations plays a big part in this, but there are a lot of other not-so-obvious benefits of Mustache.
@kneath wrote a blog post worth reading on the matter. You should check it out.
And to answer your implied-but-not-asked question, you won't be sacrificing performance. Mustache.php is quite fast. You'll hardly notice the difference :)

Marisol, the enigmatic Latin Garbo, Warhol muse, Artist-Sculptor, Obituary
19th May 2016 Katy	Leave a comment
Last Supper for Artist Marisol
Marisol Escobar for Time Magazine, 1957
A belated obituary of Marisol, who died 2 weeks ago. She was a Bohemian enigma, speaking rarely; described as the Latin Garbo. As a muse of Warhol, she appeared in two Andy Warhol movies – The Kiss and 13 Most Beautiful Girls, "the first girl artist with glamour". But it was as an artist and sculptor in her own right, that she was the disputed "undisputed queen of pop art", including by herself and Grace Glueck (New York Times, 1965) – not whether she was queen, but whether it was even Pop Art she was creating.
Marisol abandoned her father's family name Escobar to make a name in her own right, to "stand out from the crowd". A Venezuelan, born in Paris, made famous in New York, who was inspired by pre-Colombian art, she was international in her influences. Whilst she started out in painting, in the 1950s she shifted to sculpture, becoming well known only in the 1960s after 5 years travel abroad, despite a well-received first exhibition in 1958.
"Marisol's sophisticated aesthetic immediately linked her to the new Pop Art movement, but her work remained in a category of its own, displaying a myriad of influences from sources as diverse as Pre-Colombian art and Surrealist imagery. Even today, Marisol's art resists any linear curatorial reading." – Review of Sotheby's Lot by Carter B. Horsley, (2005)
Indeed, her influences and output combined Americas heritage folk art, Pop Art, Dadaism, Abstract Expressionism – "a hodgepodge of influences that make up a person's identity."
Marisol – The Party
The Cocktail Party – Marisol Escobar, 1965-66
One such art work, which might be described as a mixed media sculpture or installation was the 'The (Cocktail) Party', consisting of 15 freestanding figures and 'accessories' carved, cast, collaged, photographed and printed. Created during 1965-1966, it sold 40 years later for nearly a million dollars, double its estimate, at Sotheby's, New York.
The work, like many of hers, bore her face on each figure. Curious for someone whose background personal angst, since her mother's suicide when she was aged 11, led to a lot of self-analysis and self-enforced silence. Her creations instead were her voice, her image, her projection into, and of, the world, giving it depth, "form and weight".
"I began to make self-portraits because working at night I had no other model. I used myself over and over again. At time making these self-portraits, I would learn about myself" – Marisol (1968)
Art as Rebellion & Humour
Among her art teachers was abstract expressionist Hans Hofmann, who was "perhaps more influential as a teacher than as an artist", but she broke away from Hofmann's adherence to the "flatness of the canvas" despite his interest in the "the illusion of three-dimensional space", emerging instead as a sculptor, in which she was mainly self-taught, and embarked upon as:
"a kind of rebellion. Everything was so serious – I started to do something funny so that I would become happier – and it worked." – Marisol (1965)
She regularly used humour and "social satire" in her work poking satirical fun at the possessions and personalities of her subjects, or the strict parameters of the art world's curators and critics.
"What endures in Marisol's work is the universality of the impulses she captures. Truly a sculptor of modern life, she evokes the venality of social climbers, the integrity of great artists, the contradictions of the powerful and the quiet dignity of the dispossessed. She feels both their absurdity and their pain and encourages us to do the same" – Eleanor Heartney (2001)
Portraits and Self-Portraiture
Marisol Escobar, Portrait of Willem de Kooning, 1980
Her subjects included migrants and street children, but also those she admired. Willem de Kooning became a friend, brief lover, and ended up in an oak and ash wooden sculpted 'portrait' himself.
Other artists and personalities also ended up as portraits – Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe, Hugh Heffner, John Wayne, the Kennedys, and others. It is her own face, nonetheless, that so often appears in works, even in an homage to Leonardo da Vinci, in an installation that includes herself viewing a three-dimensional carved Last Supper.
"Whatever the artist makes is always a kind of self-portrait." – Marisol

Franz Marc, German artist, painter of not just cats & abstract blue horses
4th March 2016 Katy	Leave a comment
German Artist, Franz Marc, 1880-1916
Franz Marc, "The Tower of Blue Horses", 1913, (missing since 1945)
Bavarian artist Franz Marc died 100 years ago on 4 March 1916 at the Battle of Verdun, despite an order to withdraw him as a prominent artist. With his love of horses, he appropriately signed-up as a cavalryman and also developed artist-inspired Pointillist painted camouflage for German artillery.
It was a First World War that he oddly believed in despite his art being proscribed as an entarteter Künstler, or "degenerate artist", during the Nazi era, a quarter of a century after his death. That led to the removal of some 130 paintings from German museums in the late 1930s, some of which were only rediscovered in 2011 in the Cornelius Gurlitt art horde.
Franz Marc, 1910
"Serious art has been the work of individual artists whose art has had nothing to do with style because they were not in the least connected with the style or the needs of the masses. Their work arose rather in defiance of their times." – Franz Marc
Marc painted and drew well over 500 oil paintings, drawings and watercolours, as well as being a woodcut and lithographic printmaker, and whose works now appear on postcards everywhere. Whilst his father Wilhelm Marc was a professional landscape painter he was influenced by studies in Munich and Paris, and inspired by Vincent van Gogh and Expressionism.
Friendship with Wassily Kandinsky
Kandinsky, "The Last Judgement", 1912
He counted Russian-born artist Wassily Kandinsky as a friend and co-founder of the art collective Der Blaue Reiter, 1911-14.
"The Blue Rider" comprised artists formed out of tensions with NKVM, also founded by Kandinsky in 1909, and the rejection of Kandinsky's "Last Judgement" painting. Although "The Blue Rider" was a 1903 painting by Kandinsky he later suggested the movement's name was derived from his love of riders and Marc's enthusiasm for horses, and their shared love of the colour blue. The group folded with the deaths of Marc and fellow artist August Macke in World War I and the return of Russian-born members to their home country.
The First Abstract Art Painting
Hilma af Klint: A Pioneer of Abstraction V – "Primordial Chaos", painted 1906-07. From an exhibition at Moderna Museet, Stockholm
Although Kandinsky is often credited with creating the first abstract artwork in 1910, Tate's 2013 retrospective and The Serpentine Gallery's current exhibition (3 March-15 May) of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) would suggest otherwise.
She, yes – a female artist for Sweden was ahead of other nations in allowing women to study art and paint alongside men, was producing abstract paintings from 1906. Curator, Iris Müller-Westermann, describes Af Klint as an "outsider", a "disturbing artist" who could "rewrite art history".
Art, Nature, Spirituality & Cats!
Hilma Af Klint's love of animals, plants, and their science, forged a bond between her art and the the natural world, and an evolution from traditional landscape to abstract art. Her non-traditional 'occult' spirituality also inspired her work.
"Today we are searching for things in nature that are hidden behind the veil of appearance… We look for and paint this inner, spiritual side of nature." – Franz Marc
Franz Marc was also engaged by animals and wild colours that reflected inner emotion and spirituality not the natural world as seen on the surface. Thus his trademark blue horses, a red horse, yellow cow or even a purple hare, might be represented, though many of his earlier painted cats bore more naturalistic colours:
Increasingly abstract cats in the art of Franz Marc, 1909-1913
Whilst not as obsessed and pursued by colour as perhaps Monet, nonetheless he imbued his use of colour with meaning and metaphor:
"Blue is the male principle, stern and spiritual. Yellow the female principle, gentle, cheerful and sensual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the colour which must be fought and vanquished by the other two." – Franz Marc
He was looking for the "inner truth of things" and it was a quest that took him back to nature:
"Marc found this nature-oriented quest for spiritual redemption inspiring. His vision of nature was pantheistic; he believed that animals possessed a certain godliness that men had long since lost. "People with their lack of piety, especially men, never touched my true feelings," he wrote in 1915. "But animals with their virginal sense of life awakened all that was good in me." By 1907 he devoted himself almost exclusively to the representation of animals in nature." – Guggenheim
Marc had planned to train as a theologian but instead went into art and married artists, twice. His artistic depictions of the beauty and innocence of animals were painted against a contrasting backdrop of the years leading up to the First World War, a war that cut short his life and art career at just 36 years old.

Q: Why is the gaussian part of this Bernstein-type inequality not trivial? The following Bernstein-type inequality can be found in Introduction to the non-asymptotic analysis of random
matrices.
Theorem Let $X_1,\ldots X_n$ be mean-zero sub-exponential random variables with $\Vert X_i \Vert \leq K$, then for any $a \in \mathbb{R}^n$
$$ \mathbb{P}(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i > t) \leq \exp(-c\min(\frac{t^2}{K^2\Vert a\Vert_2^2 }, \frac{t}{K\Vert a \Vert_\infty}))$$
Proof By appropriate rescaling of $X_i$ and $t$ we may assume that $K = 1$. Now the markov inequality yields that for any $\lambda > 0$
\begin{align*}\mathbb{P}(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i > t)
&= \mathbb{P}(\exp(\lambda \sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i) > \exp(\lambda t))\\
&\leq  \exp(-\lambda t)\mathbb{E}(\exp(\lambda\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i))\\
&= \exp(-\lambda t) \prod_{i=1}^n\mathbb{E}\exp(\lambda a_i X_i)\\
&\leq \exp(-\lambda t) \prod_{i=1}^n \exp(C\lambda^2 a_i^2) \qquad \forall \lambda < \frac{C}{\Vert a\Vert_\infty }
\end{align*}
where the last inequality uses an equivalent definition of subexponential random variables. Finally, minimalisation of the second order polynomial $-\lambda t + C  \lambda^2 \Vert a \Vert_2^2$ for $\lambda <\frac{C}{\Vert a \Vert_\infty}$ yields the result. $\square$
My confusion is due to the minimalisation of this second order polynomial. If I understand rightly the optimisation uses $\lambda = \frac{t}{2C\Vert a \Vert_2^2}$ if this is possible but the boundary value otherwise which is why we have to put a minimum.
Why can't we just use the boundary value instead of adding a minimum? It appears to me that this would yield a stronger result.
