Q: MVC Form returns null model back to controller View has a list of items, each with a checkbox.  Purpose of the form is to check the boxes then return the list to the db.  I expect to see the PickList model in the ViewModel populated with the hidden seedid and the checkbox values, but the form always submits with the PickList as null.
@model Inventory.ViewModels.ExtractionViewModel

    <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" form="pick-list-form">Update Pick List</button>

public class PickListDTO
{
    public int ExtractionId { get; set; }
    public int SeedId { get; set; }
    public bool IsExtracted { get; set; }
}

A: Using @Html.DisplayFormay cause the model to be sent back as NULL. You can use @Html.TextBoxFor.
And just to remind:
Use HiddenFor when you want to provide posted data that the user does not need to be aware of.
Use DisplayFor when you want to show records but not allow them to be editted.
Use TextBoxFor when you want to allow user input or allow the user to edit a field.
I hope it helps you!

Are you looking for a fun way to decorate your cupcakes for Easter? Have you ever made something out of Rice Krispies® other than traditional Rice Krispies Treats®?
I thought it would be super fun to make little baby chicks. And then we can use them as cupcake toppers. Fun, right?
Let me show you how easy these are to make. Perfect for Easter, a baby shower or a first birthday party! You will love them!
In a large pot on the stove, melt the butter over low heat.
Next, add the package of marshmallows. Stir them until they are melted and fully combined with the butter.
Add in the Rice Krispies®. Stir, stir, stir coating the cereal well.
Remove from heat and let it cool a bit.
Use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate wafers over low-medium heat.
Or, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave, but be careful. If you melt it at a heat that is too high or too fast, it will harden.
Once the chocolates are melted, set them aside and let it cool a bit. It takes a long time for this chocolate to harden back up… so no worries.
Pour the coconut flakes into a ziplock bag.
Add 5-7 squirts of food coloring to the bag. I did yellow so we could have yellow chicks. Pink or blue would be precious too, especially for a baby shower.
Seal the bag and shake it around until the coconut is colored thoroughly.
Add the icing to the piping bag. I did three bright colors.
You can add all three colors to the bag and they will make rainbow grass. Super fun and festive for Easter!
Once the Rice Krispies cool a bit, start to form small balls by rolling small handfuls of the mixture in your hands.
Place them on a cookie sheet that is covered in parchment paper.
Thoroughly dip each ball in the white chocolate. Place the ball back on the parchment paper cookie sheet spaced an inch or two a part.
While the chocolate is still melted, choose two bright color confetti circle sprinkles to add as eyes. I used the blue ones. Use a toothpick to adjust them and ensure they are securely added.
Break off a small piece of yellow Starburst candy. Using your fingers and thumbs to press it into a shape that resembles a beak. I just held it in my left hand in between my index finger and thumb and then used my right thumb to press the back end of the candy to flatten it. It made a shape that looked perfect for a beak. Now, position this candy where the beak would be on the little chick.
Next take two orange wildflower confetti shapes and place them as feet. I just pushed them in until they seemed to be going into the Rice Krispies treat a bit.
Once the chocolate firms up, everything will stay in place perfectly.
Once they are cool there will be a flattened piece of chocolate from where the chocolate cooled and puddled, so to speak.
Just break this away with your hands.
Ice your cupcakes using the grass-like tip I linked to above. You can make your grass stringy like I did or grass that stands. Whichever method you choose.
Top your little chick on the cupcake.
I even added two egg candies. Yum!
These are perfect for your festive celebration!
The perfect Easter cupcake topper!

Tim Finn: This Week's Top 5 Can't Miss Concerts – 9/19
by Timothy Finn
Sept. 19 at RecordBar: Andrew W.K.
He has a new recording out, You're Not Alone—his first in more than nine years—that one writer described as a hailstorm of "huge choruses with multi-tracked vocals and earworm piano lines." With new sing-along material in tow, he'll return to Kansas City with a full band, prepared to whip a big, manic crowd in to a sweaty, joyous party-hearty mob. Get there for the opener, Kansas City's own party madmen, Drop A Grand.
Show time is 7 p.m. Tickets to the 18-and-older show are $18.
Sept. 20 at Knuckleheads: Alejandro Escovedo with Don Antonio
Escovedo's new album is called The Crossing. It chronicles the friendship that evolves between two immigrants–a Mexican and an Italian—who meet while working in a restaurant in Texas and discover they share similar hopes, struggles and perils as they pursue the American dream.
The Crossing was recorded in Italy with Don Antonio, an Italian instrumental band led by producer/composer Don Antonio Gramentieri that accompanies Escovedo on tour.
The Chicago Reader said that on The Crossing,the band melds "punk fury and poetic folk-rock in arrangements as rich, concise and effective as any in the singer's discography."
Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and $30.
Sept. 21 at Uptown Theater: Billy Idol
Before he was the sneering, fist-pumping marauder storm-trooping through the White Wedding video in the earliest days of MTV, Idol (born William Broad) was the leader of Generation X, a pioneering London post-punk band that first released the song Dancing With Myself. Now in his early 60s, Idol is back on the road, reviving both sounds: Gen X and his solo career. And he's got guitar ace Steve Stevens with him.
Show time is 8 p.m. The show is sold-out.
Sept. 21 at Kauffman Stadium: Billy Joel
This will be Mr. Piano Man's first stadium show in Kansas City, and the first concert at Kauffman Stadium in nearly 40 years. Joel never fails to put on a long, joyful show, packed with hits and favorites that inspire loud, heartfelt sing-alongs.
Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $49.50; $98.50; and $149.50
Sept. 25 at the Madrid Theater: The Record Company with Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear
The Record Company is a trio from Los Angeles that traffics in grimy, gritty rock blues. On some of their tracks, like Off The Ground, they bear a strong resemblance to the band Morphine but with fills of slide guitar instead of baritone sax. This will be the band's second appearance in Kansas City and first since 2016.
Get there in time to see the openers, Kansas City's own Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear, who will deliver a rare hometown performance.
Show time is 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $26.
Other shows to know about:
Samantha Fish, Sept. 21 at Crossroads KC:

Shiner, Sept. 22 at RecordBar:

Chris Shiflett, Oct. 11 at Knuckleheads:
The guitarist for the Foo Fighters will be in town a day before their show to perform solo at Knuckleheads. Tickets only $10.
Kamasi Washington, Oct. 29 at the Truman:

Discord is launching a premium memberships feature
With so many third-party monetization options on Discord, some may be wondering why the company is rolling out paid memberships now.
Kate Irwin
12.8.2021 7:15 PM
Instant messaging startup Discord announced it is rolling out a new feature to select servers as a part of the company's effort to increase monetization opportunities for content creators.
With the new "Premium" feature, some Discord servers will be able to create "Premium" experiences for their servers. Paying users will be able to access text and voice channels otherwise locked behind the Premium paywall.
Money, money, money — Discord's Premium service isn't a new idea, but it's better for business. Patreon already offers a Discord integration, which allows patrons to gain special Discord roles and access in exchange for paid subscriptions.
The makers of third-party Discord moderation bot Mee6 also released a membership program this year. But Discord knows that when more users pay it directly for features instead of through third parties, it will get to keep more of the profits.
A community request — According to Discord's blog post, paid memberships have been a highly-requested feature for a long time. In select servers, admins who set up this feature will be able to set tiers for Premium membership as well as view analytics natively on Discord.
Discord is changing — Since its inception back in 2015, Discord has long been friendly to third-party bots, integrations and extensions. But in recent years, the tech company has been seeking to expand its brand image beyond just being a chat service for gamers.
As Discord has grown, YouTube has taken legal action against the third-party Groovy and Rhythm Discord bots for using YouTube content without permission. Shortly after, Discord announced it was working with YouTube on a possible integration that allows users to watch videos together on Discord.
Now, it seems that Discord is looking to rely less and less upon third parties for server features its community enjoys, instead choosing to develop those features itself. The new Premium Memberships feature could be great for many with large servers looking to monetize by blocking off certain channels, but inevitably some will end up feeling excluded in the process.

To hear music written and performed by Dior is to experience sonic defiance. In a society that creates borders, her sound, lyrics, and delivery transcend boundaries and challenge listeners to step outside of theirs, and into her world. With words of love, heartbreak, growth, and tension, her songs combine the sounds of Classic R&B with the familiarity of Soul, leaning heavily toward their intersection, Neo-Soul.
A native of Indianapolis, Dior infuses her rural upbringing with urban sounds, producing continuously shifting melodies with vivid story-telling. With musical influences from Brian McKnight, Brandy, Aaliyah, and Yolanda Adams, she intertwines her specialty of vocal runs and harmonic arrangements to create a sound that truly captures her ever-developing style.
A combination of positive and adverse life experiences have created the confidence that she exudes in her work. She aspires to be the voice that reassures young minds and alters the perspective of even the most seasoned ears. She has performed on stages from headlining state fairs to independent artist showcases. Now residing in Los Angeles, she is also pursuing an acting career, kickstarted by a starring role in a full-length motion picture. Along with exploring other endeavors, she is currently writing and arranging her first studio album.

Amsterdam and the Avant-Garde
Experience and explore Dutch Modernism on Travel Wright's inaugural visit to the Netherlands. Renowned for its townhouses, merchants' mansions and picturesque bridges and canals, Amsterdam is a city that melds 17th century historic charm with important modernist design. Here, visionary architects such as Hendrik Petrus Berlage and Willem Marinus Dudok looked to the British Arts and Crafts Movement, and the work of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright as they sought a modern expression for Dutch architecture.
Wright's pioneering Prairie style of architecture was well-known in the Netherlands by the second decade of the twentieth century. In 1911, Berlage visited the United States specifically to see the work of Louis Sullivan, H.H. Richardson, but especially that of Wright. Upon his return to the Netherlands, the architect embarked on a lecture tour in Holland and Germany, promoting Wright's work and vision for a new, modern architecture. Berlage's visit marked the beginning of a close relationship between Wright and his Dutch colleagues—both the expressionists of the Amsterdam School and the rationalists of the De Stijl movement.
From our base in central Amsterdam, visit The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht and so much more. Explore masterworks of Dutch Modernism, including the iconic Rietveld Schröder House and the Van Nelle Factory, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Dutch Modernism: Amsterdam and the Avant-Garde is led by Dutch art historian Frans Henk Hoekstra, who has conducted architecture tours both in the Netherlands and the USA, exploring connections between Wright and his international contemporaries.
Enjoy regional cuisine, curator-led tours, and exclusive access to local museums and cultural heritage sites on this inspiring early summer journey.

The start of April - what better time to do a "what will happen this year" blog post? Well, maybe the start of January but we were very busy then and we wanted to see what happened in the first quarter before making any predictions.
We've seen a long list of household names go bust in the last 12 months but whilst we have seen store closures, job cuts, re-financing and restructuring, no major UK fashion company has gone bust since BHS back in 2015. Sadly we expect this year to see at least one big name brand disappear from our high street.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are destined to be this year's fashion icons. Whatever Meghan wears in the run-up to 'the wedding', on her big day and then on their honeymoon will be instant sell outs and catapult the brands involved to a new level.
This has already proven to be the case with sunglasses brand Finlay&Co, after Meghan wore their sunglasses on her first outing with Harry at the Invictus Games they not only sold out but made Finlay a household name in fashion circles.
Personalisation, personalisation, personalisation, personalisation and personalisation! It's all I heard on the retail innovation circuit last year and it's all I've heard again this year. Whilst there are clear benefits from personalising your offering to consumers I'm yet to see any companies really winning through with this strategy but hey…this might just be the year.
Why hold yourself responsible for your own actions when you could blame someone else and who better than the young and their love of avocados?
Nike lost out to Adidas in 2017 big style but they're back and they're fighting. Their recent London advert is a great example of the work being done by the brand.
Owning the customer will become more and more important for companies and with the release of new Instagram shopping tools it will become easier for brands to remove the retail middle man from the process.
The Brexit spending bite is already happening and we've got at least another year of consumer purse strings being held tight. With such strong economic headwinds being created by Brexit don't expect people to be splashing the cash any time soon.
53.3% of all products were discounted at some point in their lifecycle last year according to our data. 53.3% of products… let that sink in a little bit!
There is no doubt this rate is too high to be sustained but without serious attention it only go in one direction. There is a continual hunt for newness, leading to poor stock decisions and then quick discounting in the market.
The companies that challenge the status quo and really harness data in their decision making processes will be the ones that win big in 2018.
Data allows companies to get the most for their investment and ensure they sell the correct product at the correct price - something that for far too long has been neglected.
Expect to hear everyone talking about their 'big data' project - when they just mean reorganising their CRM.
It kicks in next month but already I receive a sales pitch daily about GDPR and how it's going to ruin my business unless I pay someone a day rate to sort out.
GDPR is a huge change for a lot of companies and challenging if you hold a lot of historical personal information but with a clear strategy and a desire to offer a fair service to customers then it's more than manageable!
With so many challenges facing retailers this year we'll see their Private Equity owners trying to stem their losses and exit the market as quickly as possible. Expect to see a lot of bargains around - if you have tens of millions to invest of course.
What do you think will happen in retail in the remaining three quarters of 2018? Give us your thoughts in the comments below.


From the very beginnings, several painters cooperated spontaneously to decorate the show and fitting rooms of the historic boutique in Via Condotti, with their pictures, drawings, engravings and ceramics. Afro, Gentilini, Savelli, Fougeron, Del Fabretto, Scordia, Quaglia, Cagli, Leoncillo, Leonor Fini, Stan Lepri, Picasso, Modigliani, Capogrossi, Beppe Guzzi, Cocteau, Matta and many other artists belonging to world celebrity, were all friends to Battistoni and are now well represented in the shop by their typical works. This passion is confirmed by the Guglielmo Battistoni Foundation, created by Gianni and his sister Simonetta, to support young artists chosen by an international jury; a link with the founder who designed shirts to pay his way through Rome's school of Fine Arts. Guglielmo would eventually prefer his 'side' activity and concentrated on being a fashion designer rather than pursuing his artistic vocation: how sound was this decision, time has well told.
While all the connaisseurs were to pay a visit and tribute to Battistoni's talent in perfecting a suits' cut and shirts collars (the inimitable reverse-stitched rim), quite a few artists, writers and actors unconsciously, by the frequency of their visits, became "adopted" by Battistoni. So much so that Guglielmo yesterday – and Gianni and Simonetta today – undersigned 'certificates of friendship', with well targeted generosity. They consist of a sort of chivalric order, with no emblems or decorations, but behind which only talent and personal qualities count. It is so that when Mr. and Mrs. Chaplin chose their neckties and shirts, they would just add onto their tab at the shop; when Steinbeck was to take notes for his 'East of Eden', he would do so at his favourite Battistoni desk, wearing his famed Battistoni check shirt. Humphrey Bogart kept a bottle of his preferred whiskey in a cabinet at the shop, as if he had joined a club, while Gentilini and his circle of friends would keep long tabs, indirectly having the House of Battistoni sponsoring their trips and their art. Roman style pouring down from Trinita' dei Monti and the Spanish steps, to the heart of the city, like a river touching Piazza di Spagna and streaming down Via Condotti, the Caffe' Greco, the silversmiths' shops, and in front of Palazzo Torlonia, designed by Bernini, by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, by the old Alinari shop, dwelling of Roman iconography. Arrived so far, facing the seraphine in the limpid courtyard's fountain, and near the unique works of art adorning the Battistoni atelier, here they come. Princes and queens, tycoons, aristocrats, the actor of the moment, the writer, the celebrity, the poet and the entire Beau Monde! One after the other, the most charming (possibly Kirk Douglas) along with the shyest (almost certainly Ben Kingsley), all equally treated by Guglielmo Battistoni, with that spontaneity and disenchantment that makes the true Roman perfectly at ease in front of a head of state or a peasant. The list would be endless: Luchino Vis- conti and John Ford, Gianni Agnelli and Rockefeller, Moravia, Malaparte and Jean Cocteau, Tyrone Power and De Sica, Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn, Josephine Baker and Anna Magnani, Hermes and Lagerfeld, Dado Ruspoli, Prince Torlonia, Prince Orsini, and the list carries on. Today these stories, at times narrated by old clerks or Mr. Battistoni, are silently reflected into the walls and mirrors, and they charmingly permeate Battistoni's Rome store with their subliminal tales.
One morning, one of Guglielmo Battistoni's assistants came in all excited waving a letter, that was just received, carrying a crest. A member of Spain's high aristocracy was to thank and praise Battistoni for its craft. Guglielmo Battistoni kindly smiled, and invited his collaborator to go back to work with more zeal after such an acknowledgment. This noted, throughout its history, Battistoni has strived to meet the highest standards in terms of skills, quality and style. Such a commitment to excellence – attained by serving both, and equally, tradition and innovation – could not go unnoticed by the Royal and Aristocratic circles, allowing the House to receive awards and formal endorsements from – among others – His Majesty Umberto II last king of Italy, His Majesty the Emperor of Persia, His Royal Highness Philipp of Hesse, the Prince d'Arenberg, the Dutch Prince Bernhard, the Royal Court of Sweden. All compliments that, far from flattering the House to some self-indulgence, have always – on the contrary – stirred the Battistoni family and all its collaborators into more dedication to pursue ever increasing standards and more challenging goals.

Q: Magnific Popup onload calling a url I have an static HTML page I want to pop up using Magnific Popup when the page loads. In the examples on the site he only shows clicking a link that has the url of the page. I don't want a link but just page load. How do I get the url to be called without a link? I have the onload figured out
$(window).load(function () {
    $.magnificPopup.open({
        type: 'ajax',
    showCloseBtn: true

    }, 0);
});

So for example I want test.html to show up in the popup onload. Not sure how this is done.

A: You can initialize the magnific popup with a DOM Element created by jQuery and then click it. For example:
$(function() {
    $('<a href="test.html">').magnificPopup({
        type: 'ajax'
    }).click();
});

If you need the link appear in the page, then just use appendTo function after click.

Everything went smooth, markers were animated (and in right position), click events were working, except that info windows were looking pretty strange.
As you can see something went wrong with css, I saw that somehow google's image http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/iw3.png is not showing as it should.
but gmaps isn't handling that as it should.
Thanks, I was noticing a similar issue with the zoom images and this fixed that as well!
Thank you. This was very useful.
Awesome, I didn't see that issue :) That would help a lot when I had problems with it.
Thanks, you really saved my day.
Thanks, i was looking for this for 2 days!
The firefox behavior is not showing any map at all!
Awesome and does work! tanks a'bunch !
Thanks, I had the same problem and this fixed it nicely.


Ever since I created my Word Press site I have been trying to improve my site ranking and get to that elusive 1st page on Google. Not easy, but I won't give up!
First of all I kept adding pictures and nice pages and wondered why everyone wasn't clicking on my site and booking weddings left right and center.
Then I started reading and that's when I 1st came across the phrase 'search engine optimization' (SEO).. So how to use it. Well that was easy – once my site became visible on google I had phone-calls every day from so called 'google partners' who could guarantee my being on page 1. Well I have done it. Page 1 here I come. I was impressed since even google can't guarantee you getting on page 1. Maybe I should have smelt a rat.
What they don't tell you is whatever they do from their little seedy office is get you on page 1 when you search from your computer only. Search from your mobile and you are still down there on page 26 with all the other poor sods who haven't had anyone click on their site other than their mum.
Hmm so this isn't the way to do it then. So what else can I do. I know I can pay for Google Adwords – that will do it. And it does. So it works like this. You select the search words or phrases you think most people will type in to find your product. Google then suggest a price per click which should guarantee you getting on page 1. For me is was around £2 per click. I set a budget of £10 per day, so over the month it would cost £300. No small change, but if I got 3 weddings from it at £700 each then it would be worth it.I paid the money and there I was at the top of page 1. Phone next to me waiting for the endless bookings. It didn't ring at all. So after about 15 minutes I checked my ad again. Nowhere to be seen. I was back don with the wanna-be's on 26 again.
What nobody tells you is that your competitors are sat at their PC and have just noticed a new name appearing at the top of the list – where their name usually appears. So they click on your site to see who you are (£2 gone). Then they click another 4 times because they don't like you stealing their spot and your budget has gone and you have disappeared into oblivion. And all before breakfast.
So what next? Trawling through the web night after night trying to find that magical thing that will boost me up to top spot, along with the big boys (and girls). And the sad truth is that it all boils down to hard work.
Google rankings are based primarily on 2 things 'Popularity' and 'Quality'. So how does it work out who is best. The truth is only Google knows, but it's obvious that good quality backlinks play a major part in it. The more sites link to your site the more popular it must be, and therefore the quality of that site must be good for people to want to link to it.
.I am now on page 5. Getting there.

Q: Hide and show item when the user click on it using adapter My list is about questions and answer.
I've designed an item that has the question and answer and I'm planing to hide and show the answer, not the whole item (GONE/VISIBLE), when the user click on the question. So it will be more like expandable way.
Now this is my adapter:
class FaqExpandableAdapter internal constructor(private val context: Context, private var items: List<Faq>,private val callBack: AdapterCallBack?) : RecyclerView.Adapter<FaqExpandableAdapter.MyViewHolder>() {

    private val inflater: LayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context)

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MyViewHolder {
        val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_question_faq, parent, false)
        return MyViewHolder(view)
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: MyViewHolder, position: Int) {
        holder.txtQuestionFaq.text = items[position].question?.toString() ?: "-"
        holder.txtAnswerFaq.text = items[position].answer?.toString() ?: "-"
    }

    override fun getItemCount(): Int {
        return items.size
    }

    fun update(items: List<Faq>) {
        this.items = items
        notifyDataSetChanged()
    }

    inner class MyViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
        @BindView(R.id.txtQuestionFaq)
        lateinit var txtQuestionFaq: AppCompatTextView
        @BindView(R.id.txtAnswerFaq)
        lateinit var txtAnswerFaq: AppCompatTextView

        init {
            ButterKnife.bind(this, itemView)
        }

        @OnClick(R.id.relativeRowFaq)
        fun onItemClicked() {
            callBack?.onItemClicked(adapterPosition)
        }

    }

    interface AdapterCallBack {
        fun onItemClicked(position: Int)
    }

}

My last step is where to do the visibility action?

A: Kotlin : Write onClick method on your onBindViewHolder function.
holder.txtQuestionFaq.setOnClickListener {
        holder.txtAnswerFaq.visibility = View.VISIBLE;
    }

A: In onBindViewHolder() method, add below lines: (I use Java)
holder.txtQuestionFaq.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        holder.txtAnswerFaq.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }
});

Q: MFC- Programmatically Disable Charms Bar I need to programmatically disable Windows 8 charms bar.
On MSDN i can find sample code to do that.
However while using that code snippet with Windows 8 SDK installed on my machine i am getting Linker error.
The code snippet can be found at System.EdgeGesture.DisableTouchWhenFullscreen
I am able to retrieve the PropertyStore pointer but when i try to set the value "PKEY_EdgeGesture_DisableTouchWhenFullscreen" i am get linker error for this property.

A: The symbol is exported the following lib files.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib>findstr /m /S /c:"PKEY_EdgeGesture
isableTouchWhenFullscreen" *.*

win8\um\arm\Uuid.Lib
win8\um\x64\ehstorguids.lib
win8\um\x64\Uuid.Lib
win8\um\x86\ehstorguids.lib
win8\um\x86\Uuid.Lib

Did you modify your libpath?

A: All you need is to create(if not existed) EdgeUI key under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell

and add new DWORD keys: DisableTLcorner & DisableCharmsHint
For disable:
DisableTLcorner = 1
DisableCharmsHint = 1

For Enable change to zero or delete them:
DisableTLcorner = 0
DisableCharmsHint = 0

All this can be easily done in MFC!!!!

Guess what I'm holding in my hands right now, I LOVE OUR GERMAN POST
Ordered it wednesday morning, arrived thursday morning :-)
#edit:
The positive: Heard the first two tracks and OH MY GOD just how good are they?
The negative: I can't cleanly rip track 3, 6 and 7 with foobar2000's secure mode with twice CRC checking. It doesn't seem to be a problem with my cd drive though, the original CD also has at least one problem with the tracks, in track 3 "Chaos" it skips at 1:13. Anyone else has this problem? That's where you would like to have the digital release so those things can't happen... it finished ripping the track after it tried it for several times though. I'll listen to the tracks and see if there are other noticeably problems.
Seems like there is a problem with 1:13 @ track 3. Amazing how after listening to something so much you miss the little things.
Anyway, don't worry. The rest of the album is perfect and the music is more than amazing.
We will upload a fixed version of track 3 soon.

Ok this is very embarrassing and I want to apologise to Mike, Artha and anyone who has had their listening experience spoiled by this. As I write this, I have Chaos up on my mastering system to make a new version without the glitch.
An explanation...
Because my mastering chain includes analog processes, the final master of each track must be recorded in real-time. That glitch comes as a result of my current studio computer (single-core AMD XP3200+, 1GB RAM) not being powerful enough to run my mastering chain for a whole track without crapping out at some point. This means I have to listen carefully for glitches as it is being recorded, and when they appear I skip back to the beginning of that section so that it replays, hopefully without any more glitches. I therefore have to do a lot of editing on every track I master, chopping out the repeated parts with glitches to make an unglitchy version. I just must have missed that one. There is no excuse for something like this creeping through into the final version as both Mike and I checked each track carefully before the album went to manufacturing, and I am very sorry that this has happened. It's a fantastic album in my opinion, and all I wanted from the moment I heard the first track was to do everything I could to make Artha's music shine, so it's incredibly gutting for me to have been responsible for what I sincerely hope is the only error of its kind on the CD.
Although it won't help with Influencing Dreams, I have just invested about £1500 (more than every penny I have) into a new computer for the Stooodio (i7 930, 6BG RAM, SSD HDD, RME Hammerfall) which - when it's finally up and running! - will, I hope, make sure not only that glitchy mastering is a thing of the past for me, but that the final quality of my mastering is even higher.
Once again, I offer my apologies to Mike, Artha and everyone who bought this CD for my mastering glitch.

I think if you offer the proper version for free, it won't be much of a problem.

Oh my lord, that's going to be one insane performance jump.
Fair play to Colin and Mike for owning up to it, mistakes can happen to anyone.
Small price to pay for being able to use The Compounder though
So, I wasn't into Goa in the 90's yet, so maybe some hardcore oldschool Goa lovers will disagree, but...
Really guys, I've listened to the album twice now and it is one of the best musical pieces I have ever owned. It has very interesting themes, not only soft and sunshine (not that I don't like this), and this with a super modern and great sounding production. Again, I wasn't into Goa ten years ago (I still like a lot of the stuff from then even though it sounds dated to me mostly), but if anyone thinks this album is not great then you can be sure you're biased and will never like anything else other than the oldschool stuff.
I'm a bit speechless, even with the clips, I didn't expect it to be just *this* good.
Waiting for my copy...
Since there is a glitch in track 3 (Chaos) on the album, we have decided to offer a fixed version of the track free for download.

Shit Happens but i wouldn't be negative about this Release as there's tons of work involved.
Positive vibes to Cronomi and Artha for making such an AMAZING PIECE of MUSIC!

Interests:Things that don't last.
I'm very impressed by this, sounds like a mixture of old Infected Mushroom and new school GOA. Production is excellent but not without soul, a beautiful release for sure.
Thank you for the fixed version of Chaos. I only heard about Artha recently with his free EP, but when I heard about the album I had to get it as it's exactly what I was looking for: modern production, new school Goa trance with sense behind it :-)
this is what it is about with us at Cronomi I guess; making not many CD's, but always a CD that can be remembered for long time
I hope my comp. will strike you as much: hard work is put
Listened the Chaos track and...
TALK ABOUT MAKING GOA, PSYCHEDELIC AGAIN. Holy shit, seriously, these days nothing sounds like Artha. Wow. Interesting from beginning to end, trippy sounds.
I can't wait for my copy!
Controlled, Chaos and Saikol are goooood, rest of the album no my cup of tea.
Best Cronomi release to date

Artha will be a special guest on Toksydelia, radio show on Toksyna FM !
Broadcast will be on 07-05-2010 (Friday), starts at 8 PM (CET) (GMT + 2:00)

That is interesting because that story does not seem to match that of STATUTORY DECLARATION OF J.H. SWINDELL, MASTER, S.S. TRONGATE that was leading the rescue.
Yes, I misread my notes; I've modified my post. Three men were taken off on Tuesday; 21 on Wednesday.
Heath Smith
To me, it says, "We worked our way along the shore heading south about 1.5 miles before we found a good place to try again."
It is interesting to read the statements of Daniel Hamer, Master, S.S. Norwich City..
We then crossed the lagoon in the boat to where the vessels were waiting on the outside and transported the boat to edge of the reef. It was now about 2 p.m. I was not too optimistic as the breakers were increasing in size owing to the rising tide. However, it was decided to make an attempt.
As he states, the boat was "transported". I would take that to mean moved over land.
It appeared to me that some of us would have another night on the Island and as camp could only be reached with the boat the prospects of a night on the reef without shelter wasn't very pleasant.
If you had just walked this distance from camp, wading through the inlet, why would you need a boat to walk back to camp?
This statement suggests that transporting the boat must have been a difficult task unlikely to be repeated that afternoon although there was plenty of daylight left to do so. If they were near either inlet to the lagoon this should not have been a difficult task as they probably would have used the channel to float the boat to the "outside", walking along side of the boat if it were too shallow.
So it would seem then that original camp was not located a leisurely 1.5NM stroll away and that the boat was needed to return to that camp as he states. He also makes a reference to having to "cross" the lagoon suggesting that they traverse from one side (or one end to the other) versus moving along the lagoon had they only moved South 1.5NM from their starting point.
Quote from: Heath Smith on May 13, 2012, 02:57:44 PM
Yes, it sounds that way to me, too. I don't see that as ruling in or out any location on the island.
OK. So they didn't wade through Tatiman passage, but made five or six trips with the skiff, perhaps, if they took four men per trip.
Do you think they made those trips from Nutiran to the Seven Site? That's 30 to 36 miles of rowing--on the same day when they spent hours trying to get through the surf. That doesn't seem likely to me.
Perhaps the tide had come up? It does that every 12 hours or so.
Baureke Passage is not always an open channel. It silts up at times. I don't think we know its condition in 1937.
So it would seem then that original camp was not located a leisurely 1.5NM stroll away and that the boat was needed to return to that camp as he states.
So it wasn't leisurely. That doesn't mean that he and the master of the Trongate were wrong in saying that the site was 1.5 miles "south" of the wreck.
He also makes a reference to having to "cross" the lagoon suggesting that they traverse from one side (or one end to the other) versus moving along the lagoon had they only moved South 1.5NM from their starting point.
There are many ways to "cross" a body of water, as the map on the wiki suggests. The person who drew the routes assumed that Baureke Passage would be the place to "transport" the boat. If it was not navigable, the portage may have taken place where the land is narrower.
It is helpful to be reminded of the problem of getting the skiff out of the lagoon. Malcolm's view is that the ferried 24 men to the Seven Site, carried the boat across to the reef, found out that they couldn't use that location, then carried the boat back into the lagoon, ferried everyone over to the place that is 1.5 miles "south" of the wreck, and carried it overland to the reef again. Occam's Razor is not a cure-all, but I think we might apply it here.

That's because I do not define the "lee side" as the northeastern side of the atoll. By "northeastern side," I presume you mean Aukaraime south and not Noriti.
Here is my definition of windward and leeward:
So what you are saying is that you are reinterpreting Lott's account to suit your own conception of the mariners' understanding of a lee shore. You also say you cannot imagine the survivors all trudging around to a new camp to await rescue - I do have a slight reservation about that. Now if I was marooned on an island awaiting rescue and was told that I had to walk to the other side of the atoll where conditions appeared better to be rescued now would I say no way? of course not, I would actually walk there.
Simply put, Lott's account is good evidence that one attempt was made from the lee side of the atoll (in lay man's terms the southern area of the north east shore).
« Last Edit: May 13, 2012, 07:16:55 PM by Malcolm McKay »
There were seven people in the boat that was the first successful launch to leave the island in rough water (3 passengers, 4 natives). The boats could have held more than 7 on calm waters of the lagoon. They had already made one trip requiring possibly only two additional trips for the remainder of the group, probably a grand total of 12SM journey round trip.
A group might also have easily walked the 4SM from the NC wreck around the Northern end of the island. They had been around that area before and in fact originally spotted the arriving ships while they were on the East side of the island while they were exploring the island for resources like water. At 3mph, a very slow pace, this would require two hours and twenty minutes to walk the beach to the Seven site. Why the captain thought getting back to camp just 3-4SM away was an impossible task without a boat seems a bit odd, perhaps his feet were sore or the group was entirely too exhausted to trek back on foot.
Certainly there was enough time for the boat to return to the area of the NC wreck and pick up the remaining group and there is sufficient time to have them walking the shoreline as well.
From what I can see there is no time estimate given for the group reassembling when surely not all 20 people fit in to the single whale boat that crossed the lagoon.
Perhaps, that should be easy to determine. We know the approximate depth of the inlets to be 3 feet at low tide (at least by one estimate of a survivor). What we can be reasonably certain of was that they had to transport the boat over land and did not take advantage of the inlets. This would seem contradictory to the South-West exit point as you assert.
That doesn't mean that he and the master of the Trongate were wrong in saying that the site was 1.5 miles "south" of the wreck.
I do not know which "he" you are referring to but I believe the sole 1.5NM estimate comes from Daniel Hamer, master of the S.S. Norwich City, not from anyone on the Trongate. The entire theory of the South-Western location hinges on this single estimate in contradiction to the captain of the Trongate who was overseeing the rescue operations stating he rounded the South-East corner of the island where he hove the ship.
There are many ways to "cross" a body of water, as the map on the wiki suggests.
To cross or to move "across" general means to the other side of something like a road, river, or in this case a lagoon. A short move along the inner shoreline of a lagoon as you suggest would not seem to be classified as moving "across" the lagoon. Perhaps from the perspective of a crew on the little boat but not from a captain of a large vessel a considerable distance from shore. In that scenario he would more than likely say something to the effect that the moved "along" the lagoon as they were on a parallel course as the story goes.
Quote from: Malcolm McKay on May 13, 2012, 07:14:41 PM
So what you are saying is that you are reinterpreting Lott's account to suit your own conception of the mariners' understanding of a lee shore.
Just as much as you are.
You are placing an interpretation on "lee side," too. That's how communication works.
Note that the phrase is "lee side," not "lee shore": "We took the stores and water from the surf boat and went to the camp. They told us that it was impossible to go through that surf again so we went to the lee side."
You also say you cannot imagine the survivors all trudging around to a new camp to await rescue - I do have a slight reservation about that.
I can't find the combination of "trudging" and "imagine" in anything I've written. Could you quote the passage in question?
Now if I was marooned on an island awaiting rescue and was told that I had to walk to the other side of the atoll where conditions appeared better to be rescued now would I say no way? of course not, I would actually walk there.
You are talking miles and miles of walking from Noriti to the Seven Site--and back--if it was done by foot. If it was done by water, it takes 30 to 36 miles of rowing. It's not a trivial task, either by land or by sea.
"Good evidence" on your interpretation of his account.
I respectfully disagree with the dictionary you have chosen to use to interpret his account.
There were seven people in the boat that was the first successful launch to leave the island in rough water (3 passengers, 4 natives).
Source for "4 natives"? Six are credited with accomplishing the rescue.
The boats could have held more than 7 on calm waters of the lagoon. They had already made one trip requiring possibly only two additional trips for the remainder of the group, probably a grand total of 12SM journey round trip.
Malcolm's theory is that they went to the Seven Site, transported the boat to the reef, found it wouldn't work, then returned to Tekibeia, transported the boat from the lagoon to the reef again. Whatever number you pack into the skiff, you need to double your number of trips to cover Malcolm's theory.
I do not know which "he" you are referring to but I believe the sole 1.5NM estimate comes from Daniel Hamer, master of the S.S. Norwich City, not from anyone on the Trongate.
I gave the source for the second reference. Here it is again.
The entire theory of the South-Western location hinges on this single estimate in contradiction to the captain of the Trongate who was overseeing the rescue operations stating he rounded the South-East corner of the island where he hove the ship.
I grant that I have to give up my original interpretation of "southeast corner." I see that there is a different candidate from the one that I had previously called the southeast corner:
That's what you imagine he would have said. I respectfully disagree that your meaning is the sole or the best interpretation of all of the data. I don't feel obliged to use your definition of the word "across."
Quote from: Martin X. Moleski, SJ on May 13, 2012, 08:22:37 PM
Disagree as much as you like Martin but unfortunately Lott's account is quite specific. And it meshes rather well with Heath's interpretation.
The article mentions statements from the Master of the Ellsworth not Trongate. Due to the nature of the article you cannot be certain if the statements were from this individual or the reporter using the letters sent to the board of trade. It even say "one statement mentions". More than likely they found the statement of Daniel Hamer. There are only two descriptions of the location in all of the testimony that I can find, the 1.5NM by Daniel Hammer and the South-East corner of the island given by John Harry Swindell of the Trongate. The only other description was the "lee-side" of the island that is a point of contention.
13. At 3 p.m. the whale boat succeeded in crossing the reef and reached the TRONGATE'S life boat and the LINCOLN ELLSWORTH'S motor boat. The motor boat towed the other two boats to the TRONGATE. The whale boat had brought 3 survivors from the island.
14. The native crew, which had been working uncessantly [sic] since early morning, rested for a little while on the TRONGATE; then 4 of them returned to the island to be ready to make a further attempt to bring off the survivors in the morning.
That demonstrates that 7 people were able to fit in to the boat over the rough surf. You could easily fit probably 10 people in the boat on calm water.
I grant that I have to give up my original interpretation of "southeast corner." I see that there is a different candidate from the one that I had previously called the southeast corner
Again if your description were true, he might have said something like "we round a corner to the South-East". By using the word "the" this is very specific and describes only one singular possible corner of the island. What he did say was "We rounded the South-East corner of the island". This is not ambiguous and really not open to interpretation. You are then forced to reject this statement in it's entirety so that you can keep the 1.5NM estimate from Hammer.
Let us not use my interpretation, let us use the Webster's dictionary:
1: in a position reaching from one side to the other : crosswise
2: to or on the opposite side
If your theory was correct they would have stated the they "moved over", "moved along" the lagoon. There are multiple statements from survivors and rescuers that the boat moved across the lagoon and this is not a coincidence in my opinion.
Andrew M McKenna
Here I am during the Maid of Harlech Survey.
Now that I look, there is actually less time for all these activities than I thought.
Swindell - Whale boat launched at 9am
Hamer - "We assisted in getting the boat to the beach, took the water and provisions which Capt. Swindell of the Trongate had thoughtfully provided and made for camp, where I assure you they were made full use of. The Natives chief concern was whether there were any crabs on the Island. They were highly delighted when we told them how big and numerous they were. In fact they didn't wait to hear anymore but set out right away in search of them." The crew disappears into the bush in search of crab. How much time did all that take? An hour? Two? So now it is at least 10 am. Only 4 hours until the first rescue attempt.
Hamer - "Before leaving camp all provisions etc., were placed in the shelter,..." How much time did that take?
Hamer - " We then crossed the lagoon in the boat to where the vessels were waiting on the outside and transported the boat to edge of the reef. It was now about 2 p.m. I was not too optimistic as the breakers were increasing in size owing to the rising tide."
How many trips did they have to make? There were 6 crew members in the "small surf boat" that came ashore on Tuesday, and they remained with the boat until after the rescue of the first three survivors, after all the crossing of the lagoon etc. - From Hamer "Several of us went out to meet the boat in which was a crew of six Ellice Island natives whom Administrator Allen, with wonderful foresight had recruited and sent to our assistance. These men were of splendid physique and the way they handled their small surf boat through the surf was worth seeing and gave us hope that we should all get safely off the Island." I don't know how many survivors fit in a small 19' surf boat with 6 strapping crew members, but my guess is it would have taken multiple trips to move everyone, and there isn't enough time to get everyone to the seven site and back by boat.
So between say 10:30am and 2pm, only 3.5 hours, they had to get all 30 personnel and the boat to the site 1.5 miles down from the NC Wreck on the ocean side, making multiple trips as necessary since it is not likely all 30 would fit in the boat.
The idea of the survivors hiking the 4 miles around to the 7 site is really a stretch. - From Hamer "More than half of the survivors were without boots so had to remain in camp." and again "After attending to the requirements of squaring up the camp, the rest of the day was passed in roaming at will, although those with boots were the only ones able to exercise." Unless you have a had a lifetime of barefoot activity on coral, hiking 4 miles to the 7 site, then another 3 miles or so back to the rescue site without shoes on coral rubble, reef rock, and sand is one that would have ugly results, and would have been unusually cruel to attempt. There are many places where they would have had to walk on the coral rock with is consistently quite jagged in nature. Walking on it barefoot is extremely unpleasant, I can tell you from being there. We do not hear any testimony of bloodied and injured feet, they didn't even want to leave camp. I would also suggest that walking barefoot 4 miles would have been a much slower process than you estimate, again, creating a timeline problem for that scenario.
"Transported" could mean over land, or through the non-navigable Baureke passage (it was dry in 2001, and wet in 2010, but still not navigable for a boat - I tried), but if you read what Hamer says "We then crossed the lagoon in the boat to where the vessels were waiting on the outside and transported the boat to edge of the reef." it could also be simply transporting the boat from the beach to the surf line, or the "edge of the reef" where getting the boat launched required as many hands as were available. Trying to take the boats through the bush would have taken far longer than time allows.
According to Swindell, two of the crew stayed aboard the Trongate after the first 3 survivors were extracted. Swindell - "The native crew, which had been working uncessantly [sic] since early morning, rested for a little while on the TRONGATE; then 4 of them returned to the island to be ready to make a further attempt to bring off the survivors in the morning." although Hamer says that only three crew members of the surf boat returned - "The surf boat returned shortly afterwards with only half the crew. They had decided that with our assistance to get to the edge of the surf, the boat would be easier to manage with three men." so there is some conflict in these reports.
I think it is evident that there is just not quite enough detail to these accounts to really know what happened, and enough ambiguity in the words to allow for interpretation, but I seriously doubt that they could have gotten down to the 7 site area in the time allotted. There is no mention of the misery that project would have created.
When I think about how I, as the native crew, would have accomplished moving the survivors, it would have been multiple trips across the Tatiman passage (the "lagoon crossing" recorded and observed) to the site of the future colonial village, and then have them either walk down the beach or through the bush to the 1.5 mile site where the rescue was being effected while walking / floating the boat out of the Tatiman passage and down the "boat channel" (geomorphic term for the deeper water typically found along he beach ward edge of a reef) to the site. This, coincidently, is exactly how we get the Naiad into and out of the lagoon when we work there. Everything else takes too much effort and I just can't see a crew of native boatmen choosing anything but the easiest way to go given the circumstances and the timeline.
« Last Edit: May 14, 2012, 04:59:09 AM by Andrew M McKenna »
There is definitely a need to investigate further.
I also noticed Hammer stating "We then crossed the lagoon in the boat to where the vessels were waiting on the outside and transported the boat to edge of the reef. It was now about 2 p.m." however if you read the statements from the captain of the Trongate he stated that there were attempts "through the whole of the morning" suggesting this happened before Noon let alone 2pm (unless perhaps they were using different time zones or something??).
It is certainly not clear what expired from 8:30am to 3pm (time stamps from the captain of the Trongate) but that is nearly 6 hours. If we do not use Hammer's time stamps, this allows for nearly 6 hours to migrate at least some if not all of the crew.
I agree though, there may just not be enough detail to sort through the testimonies to find a single answer.
Quote from: Chris Johnson on May 14, 2012, 06:52:06 AM
Rather than drag yourself accross the island and lagoon to the 7 site and carry the boat to the shore only to discover you can't launch, why not just send someone over to look?
From what I read, they did make many attempts, only one was successful that day.
The article mentions statements from the Master of the Ellsworth not Trongate.
True. My apologies if I inadvertently got the two ships mixed up.
Due to the nature of the article you cannot be certain if the statements were from this individual or the reporter using the letters sent to the board of trade.
The date on the article is 16 December 1929, about two weeks after the incident. The first paragraph reads: "In dispatches by wireless, the master of the Norwegian motor-tanker Lincoln Ellsworth described the wreck of the British steamer Norwich City on the lonely, uninhabited Gardner Islanad in mid-Pacific, the subsequent burning of the vessel, and the drowning of 11 men when a lifeboat overturned in the surf. The wireless messages describe the exciting rescue operations."
The remainder of the article begins, "One message states." Everything that follows is enclosed in quotation marks, which, in ordinary English, means that it is a quotation.
It even say "one statement mentions".
That phrase is not in the article.
More than likely they found the statement of Daniel Hamer.
The Board of Inquiry was held in Apia on 12 December 1929.
This article appeared in Melbourne on 16 December 1929.
London did not receive the materials from the Board of Inquiry until 25 January 1930. Cf. stamp on this copy of the letter of transmission. It is possible that the press in Melbourne got hold of the Board report before London, I suppose. Strange things do happen. And we all know that reporters are stupid liars, who would rather make things up than report the facts. So you may be right.
There are only two descriptions of the location in all of the testimony that I can find, the 1.5NM by Daniel Hammer and the South-East corner of the island given by John Harry Swindell of the Trongate. The only other description was the "lee-side" of the island that is a point of contention.
1. I consider Hamer a reliable source.
2. I have drawn two pictures of "the corner of the island southeast of the Trongate" in a recent post, and indicated that I have changed my mind about how to understand that term. I no longer believe that the Trongate rounded America traveling counter-clockwise. I believe she rounded the point of Noriti, and then saw the skiff crossing the lagoon.
3. I have drawn a picture of the lee-side of the island previously in this thread, which shows that Tekibeia, Aukaraime South, Ameriki, and the southern part of Aukaraime North are on the "lee side" of the island when the wind is from the northwest.
OK. In other words, there were 9 souls on board for the first rescue on Tuesday, which is what I thought we were talking about. All day long on Tuesday, there are 6 natives in the boat, not 4. You can't leave them out of your calculations for TUESDAY, which is the day that leads to the establishment of the third and last survival camp.
So you've got 6 natives plus ... 4 passengers. With 24 folks to transport, that's six trips to the Seven Site. It takes 5.5 round trips at 3 NM each to ferry the 24 people there. That is 16.5 NM of rowing in the heat of the day. Even if you spot them the ability to row at 3 knots, that's 5.5 hours before you even make your first of many attempts to get out to the ships.
I don't find that the least bit likely.
Again if your description were true, he might have said something like "we round a corner to the South-East". By using the word "the" this is very specific and describes only one singular possible corner of the island.
That assumption and interpretation is what I deny is necessary. It is a possible interpretation, but not the only one.
What he did say was "We rounded the South-East corner of the island". This is not ambiguous and really not open to interpretation. You are then forced to reject this statement in its entirety so that you can keep the 1.5NM estimate from Hammer.
No, I am not "forced to reject this statement in its entirety." I see how natural it is from the Trongate's point of view to call the first point that they rounded "the southeast corner of the island." Just as with the word "south," the witness is not speaking from the point of view of people who have the modern maps and satellite photos in mind. The corner seen to the southeast of the boat is the southeast corner of the island from that point of view. Around that first corner is the "lee side" of the island. It is because it is a corner that it provides shelter from the wind.
That definition fits any number of points "across" the lagoon. There isn't just one opposite "side" of an irregularly shaped pool of water; there are many places that are "opposite" to the shoreline of Noriti.
It is your imagination that is supplying the "would have." I do not feel compelled in any way to buy into your mental picture of what the crew "would have stated." If there is one and only one meaning for the word "across," it would land the crew in Ameriki, not Aukaraime North, where the Seven Site is located. If you can call the diagonal transit of the internal body of water from Noriti to the Seven Site "across," you may call many other such transits of that single body of water "across" as well.

Everything else takes too much effort and I just can't see a crew of native boatmen choosing anything but the easiest way to go given the circumstances and the timeline.
Agreed. Occam's Razor (the simplest approach is usually the best one) applies to work as well as to thought.
I believe both crews, the natives and the survivors, would strive to find the closest location that would allow them to get across the reef. Since the "lee side" of the island begins around the corner to the southeast of the Trongate's position near the Norwich City, where the first landing was made 200 yards "south" of the wreck, that is probably where they headed.
I grant that this is all an interpretation. But it makes sense to me psychologically and geographically. I understand that others have a different interpretation.
Here is a graphical representation of the argument that Tekibeia is:
1) in the lee of a NW wind;
2) approximately 1.5 NM from the wreck;
3) much less difficult to reach, either by boat or on foot, than the Seven Site.
