As a Street Art lover, I did not expect to find such a wealth of talent in the streets of Singapore. Wandering around the streets, you will learn so much about its rich history and culture but the best part is its totally free!
To discover what street art can be found, check out our post Singapore Street Art and for more budget options, 20 free things to do in Singapore.
Although modern day Singapore is only 52 years old, it has a very rich history and a fascinating story to tell. How did this small fishing village develop into one of the world's leading business Cities? You can either take a guided tour, or make up your own. Seek out the bronze statues along Clarke Quay, follow the Little India Heritage Trails, or visit the National Museum of Singapore.
Fancy yourself as a budding Sherlock Holmes? Transport yourself back in time to 1940's Shanghai in an interactive role playing game and find Red Rose's killer, a fictional 1942 cabaret singer. You and up to 6 friends can dress in period style costumes and choose from a detective, reporter or boss of a nightclub.
Despite it's 2.2km length, the boardwalk offers wonderful views through sections of jungle and beaches. Changi Airport is close so if you want that insta-worthy photo of low flying jumbo jets coming in to land, head to Changi Beach. OK so it's not Mahu beach in the Caribbean, but it's still pretty cool.
Most people catch the MRT and/or walk the City sights, but a fun-filled way is to take a Segway tour. They are super easy to use and because you are in charge, you can set your own pace riding as fast or as slow as you like. Now when I say "fast", their top speed is 12.5 miles/20.1 kmh so you certainly won't be entering the Singapore Grand Prix in this vehicle. Alternatively, the same company hire E-Scooters.
Watching the F1 Grand Prix in Singapore at night is a must for sports fans!
For followers of Formula 1, the Singapore Grand Prix is the only night race in the F1 series. Held mid-September, if you are a car enthusiast or enjoy world class live events then combine a visit with this annual race.
I visited Melbourne for the first stage of the Grand Prix, and watching an iconic event in a different country makes it more memorable, especially such a high-class event as Formula 1. The roar of the high performance cars whizzing past you will make the hairs on your neck stand up, and there are large screens showing the race for all to see. Included in the entrance ticket is a magnificent view of the Singapore Skyline at night, famous live acts and fireworks, plus there are plenty of eateries. Definitely a bucket list tick off.
If Germany is a little too far to travel for a stein of beer, Singapore has its own Oktoberfest. For a truly authentic festival, included in the entrance ticket is free-flow beer by famous Bavarian brewery Paulaner, entertainment from Munich, and a 500ml stein. There are various other places in Singapore to experience the German beer festival, but Oktoberfest Asia is the largest and is held in a full air-conditioned marquee at Tan Quee Lan Street. Prost!
Did someone push in front of you today, or are your kids driving you crazy? If you're having a bad day or disagreed with the referee and want to kick the TV set, take a trip to the Fragment Room. You are given 30 minutes of rage time in a private room containing a box of various items for you to hulk-smash; plates, wine glasses, cases and a TV set! Overalls, goggles and various smashing implements are all provided for your pleasure.
If Hulk-smash isn't your thing, how about flotation therapy to get your zen on? Developed in the 1950's to experiment with consciousness, at Palm Avenue Float Club you lay in a single bed sized pod in utter silence and darkness, floating as if you were in the Dead Sea. Deprived of light, sound and gravity your mind enters a meditative state which is helped by the water being warmed to your exact skin temperature.
This form of therapy is used by artists who feel it inspires creativity, but it helps stress and anxiety-related conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder. The 600g of Epsom salts make you positively buoyant, which is said to be good for muscle recovery (you may need this after visiting the rage room), and provides pain relief for inflammatory conditions like fibromyalgia or osteoarthritis.
Maybe a salt-filled pod isn't for you, however if you seek a salt spa experience with a twist, visit the salt therapy spa at Breathya. Halotherapy dates back to the mid-1800s when miners working in European and Russian salt mines appeared to be in good health (according to the Salt Therapy Association). The salt rooms mimic natural salt caves, and rooms are coated with Himalayan rock salt crystals which clear clogged sinuses, improve sleep, improve your skin as well as general well-being.
Aches and pains? Don't want to sit in an ice bath for 10 minutes? Want to blow the budget and spend 3 minutes half-naked in a cryosauna chilled with liquid nitrogen to -150c? If you have $225 to burn, join the likes of Daniel Craig, Hugh Jackman, Usain Bolt and Cristiana Ronaldo and head to Cryo Fit. Stand in the chamber for three minutes and when exiting, the oxygeneated and enriched blood is said to stimulate tissue repair and muscle regeneration. The subsequent endorphin rush boosts your energy, triggering your metabolism to burn between 400-800 calories in the next couple of hours.
For children and child-like adults, Bounce indoor trampoline park takes the seriousness out of life, and you will leave without a care in the world. Release the inner child in you; remember bouncy castles at summer fetes and friends' birthday parties? Be a ninja-warrior and fly off walls, bouncing your way to a fun-filled day. If you want to do an aerobic workout, they run Bounce-Fit sessions.
Make mine a Singapore Sling dahhhling. This famous gin-based cocktail was created around 1915 by a bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel. Initially it was called a Gin Sling, however this was already the name for a North American Drink – I don't know about you but I actually prefer the name Singapore Sling! The Long Bar, Raffles Hotel is still open to visitors wishing to sip on this iconic cocktail. A trip here is more about the experience than the drink itself.
You don't always have to pay a high price tag for a Michelin Starred meal, in Singapore there are two hawker stands awarded this prestigious accolade.
The first place awarded a Michelin Star is Hawker Chan, formerly known as Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle located in Chinatown, but I won't lie to you it was the worst meal we had in Singapore. For an above par version, visit the restaurant of the same name, or try Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles which is the second hawker stand to receive a Michelin star.
Visiting this Friend's themed Café is a must for any fan of the US hit comedy show. Sit in the iconic orange sofa and order a full Italian Joey Tribbiani Americano, lightly roasted Rachel Green Latte, signature cocktail Phoebe's Smelly Cat or Ross' Banana Split.
Episodes of Friends are played on a big screen, and at the famous clapping point in the tune, all staff join in. I won't lie, I really enjoyed it here but I am a fan of the show. Ps the coffee is served in absolutely massive cups.
Yes there is a Universal Studios in Singapore, who knew? Obviously not as big as its stateside namesake, but South East Asia's only theme park has 7 themed zones featuring 28 rides which include the world's tallest duelling roller coasters Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON™. Get up close and personal with characters from Minions and Madagascar, watch live entertainment shows and of course, look out for live street entertainment as you wander around the park.
If you are here for dinner, Curate is a Michelin starred restaurant, but do note that smart elegant attire is required.
NB: They have "Dolphin Island" which I would not recommend due to animal welfare issues. If you care about animals and marine life, please do not visit this attraction at Universal Studios.
An alternative dinner option is a cruise with Sunset Sail City Lights on the Royal Albatross. Departing from Resorts World Sentosa, this ship is one of only 150 tall ships in the world, has 4 high masts and 22 sails. Sit down, relax with a sumptuous cocktail, and enjoy a 3-course meal sailing around Singapore's calm waters. Perfect end to the day if you ask me, and a wonderful way to celebrate any special occasion.
Yes you can kayak in Singapore! Who knew?
Kayak around a mangrove tunnel, Link Lagoon or Sonneratia flooded forest with Kayakasia. Pick one of 6 half day trails suitable for anyone, even if you don't have kayaking experience, they will provide a brief lesson and there are guides to help you along the way.
Ever wondered what a hamster feels like rolling around in a ball? Maybe you've always wanted to walk on water, a ZOVB experience will reveal all. Choose from Land ZOVB, Water ZOVB or Bloop; a giant bubble suit which you climb into then play a game of football/soccer! This isn't just for little kids, but adult-kids get plenty of laughs; Sy did land Zorbing and giggled like a child for both roll-downs.
You may also be surprised to hear you can go Scuba Diving in Singapore!
At Big Sister's Island, Sisters' Island Marine Park, there is a 6m shallow and 15m deep underwater trail which can be easily followed. At Pulau Subar Laut, you are guided through various signposted areas pointing out marine biodiversity whilst providing education on conservation. Divers are surprised at the diversity which can be found in the murky waters – muck diving by name, muck diving by nature!
Pulau Hantu Malay for Ghost Island is a 30 minute boat journey away and is made up of two islands; Hantu Besar and Hantu Kecil. It is said that rich marine life can be found here. Orpheus Dive run daily trips every weekend.
Kusu Island is 5.6km from Singapore, and is home to one of the highest densities of anemones and anemonefishes known in the City.
Pulau Salu is located South of Jurong Island. The currents can be quite strong so only suitable for experienced divers, and is best visited on an organised trip with a dive group (speak to Orpheus Dive), unless you wish to charter your own boat. Divers can see coral formations sharks and barracudas.
Singapore is actually an archipelago of 63 islands – fact of the day! Very few tourists know about the other islands making it one of the ultimate unique things to do in Singapore. You can easily island hop with Singapore Island Cruise Ferry to Kusu, Sisters or St John's, and can combine it with a scuba dive if that's your thing. If you have longer and want to walk around in nature, consider camping, fishing or take a picnic/BBQ to Kusu or St John's for the night.
Have you tried any of these unusual things to do in Singapore? If you are visiting soon, what would be your favourite? Tell us in the comment section below.
If you are travelling to Singapore by train, we recommend you check the schedules ahead of time with 12Go Asia website. You can also book your tickets in advance online (as we did) to save time and hassle. If you continue to travel around Asia, you can use the same website for boat and bus schedules.
MRT: (Mass Rapid Transit) is fast, clean, cheap, reliable and the most efficient way of travelling around Singapore. It's also quiet; no loud music, no chattering, most people wear headphones, nearly everyone is looking at their mobile/cell phone.
If you are here for a few days, it's worth buying an EZ Link card at the station for $12. The card costs $5 which is pre-loaded with $7, however each fare is discounted from a single ticket so you will save money in the long run. Top up easily at any station when required. The average cost of a single ticket is $1.30-$2.50.
Taxi: Taxis from the airport are metered, fares costs around SG$20 - 35 depending on your destination, and what time of day you travel.
Grab: You can download the Grab App and use it to book taxis online, however they are not always cheaper than the City taxis. Grab was born in Singapore back in 2012, but is now used in eight South East Asian countries.
MRT: As already mentioned above.
Bike share/bike hire: It's easy to hire a bike which is done via an app, but you will need internet. Buy a data card (passport is needed to register), download the app, scan the QR code on the bike then cycle away. When you are finished, park up in any designated parking area. Cost is approx. $0.50 for 20 minutes.
Free: If you want to stay for free in Singapore, check out Couchsurfing! There are a few people you can contact, and Couchsurfing is a fantastic way of getting to know Singapore like a local.
Budget: If Couchsurfing isn't for you and you are on a budget, we stayed in Hotel 81 Premiere Star in Geylang which is part of a chain. The nearest MRT is Aljunied.
Blow the budget: Three luxury hotels overlook the river, Marina Bay Sands, Mandarin Oriental and The Fullerton Hotel.
Little India – Mustafa Foreign Exchange in the Mustafa Centre is large, the most famous and reliable.
Singapore was voted the safest City in the world in 2018.
Officially known as the Republic of Singapore, it is both a city and country.
Singapore is a year round destination, with an average temperate of 27°C (81°F). Peak times are November - January, June and July.
It is one of only three City-States in the world, the other two being The Vatican City and Monaco.
There are 63 smaller islands around Singapore.
The currency is Singapore dollar.
Although English is widely spoken, there are four other languages, Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and unofficially Singlish, a creole which is a mixture of Singapore's four official languages, and is something the Government wish to phase out.
Singapore was once a British Colony. In 1819 Lieutenant General Sir Stamford Raffles came to the City State to establish a trading station which shaped modern day Singapore.
Plug sockets are the same as UK – 3 pinned.
Singapore in the Guinness World Records for many things, including the biggest game of pass the parcel, longest human domino chain, and the most number of people participating in a line dance (11,967).
Singaporeans are polite people thanks to a Government backed campaign teaching ethics and mannerisms since 1970.
The five stars in the national flag represent democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality. Red signifies brotherhood, white represents purity.

Some interesting research was published over the summer (and reported in the Independent) which suggests that the impact of electricity savings on carbon emissions is a lot larger than previously thought.
It's a little bit technical, but I'll try and summarise it as clearly as I can – if you have any questions please post in the comments below.
By way of example, the average house consumes about 3,900kWh of electricity each year and the UK average electricity carbon factor is 0.543kgCO2/kWh so the CO2 emissions generated by electricity consumption in the average UK home amounts to 2,100kg or 2.1 tonnes of CO2.
In the above calculation I used the Average Emissions Factor which is published by Defra and is calculated by adding up all of the emissions generated by all of our power stations and dividing by the total amount of electricity generated (less 7% to take into account the losses which you get when you distribute the electricity through the national grid).
However there is another emissions factor which is the Marginal Emissions Factor. This is a measure of the emissions which are generated in response to a change in demand on the electricity grid and it's this factor which was calculated to be about 60% higher than previously assumed and 30% higher than the average emissions factor.
In an electricity supply system, supply has to be precisely matched to demand so there is always a group of electricity generators and power stations which are being tweaked up and down or switched on and off in order to match the variations in demand over the course of a day.
If the grid wasn't monitored 24/7 and supply wasn't adjusted to match demand, it would lead to instabilities. If there's too little supply it can lead to black outs and if there is too much supply it can lead to generators tripping and shutting down. A measure of this balance between supply and demand is the grid frequency which you can see live here.
There are three main types of generators in an electricity supply network – base load, peaking and load following. A base load generator is one that churns away at a constant rate for hours or days at a time, a peaking plant will be switched on just for the peak periods to cover the higher electricity demand, and a load following plant is quickly adjusted up and down to follow short term fluctuations in demand.
So when you turn on your washing machine or switch on your lights when you get home, somewhere a generator has to work a little bit harder to deliver that electricity to your home. If enough people turn on their washing machine at the same time then a whole new generator might have to be switched on and this is the marginal supply that the Marginal Emissions Factor refers to.
These marginal generators that respond to fluctuations in demand are in general less efficient and dirtier than the base load and peaking generators and this means that they have higher emissions.
So if you want to cut your carbon emissions easily and cheaply, really hit those electricity saving behavioural measures hard (I've written about standby and fridge freezer temperatures so far but there are many more to come) and make sure your lighting is as efficient as possible.
Also if you can manage it without annoying your neighbours, try and defer as much electricity consumption, especially energy intensive actions like running the washing machine, to the night time as both the average and marginal emission factors are lower at night than during the day.


The Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has shared his concern about air pollution in an interview. This health problem should be taken as seriously as tobacco was then. Billions of people breathe poor quality air every day and about 9 million people - according to the latest studies - die of it every year, which is more than because of tobacco. The WHO will hold a conference on this subject and the required action this week in Geneva.

Watching and Ignoring
Willis Sparks
Nicaragua's violence — What began as a student protest over unpopular pension reforms continues to escalate. Rights activists say state security forces and masked pro-government gangs have killed 148 people since the eruption in April of protests against President Daniel Ortega's government. Here's yet another leader determined to keep power in order to avoid prison.
Petro's Vote Count — Colombia is holding a presidential election on Sunday, and with center-right candidate Ivan Duque up 20 points in the polls, he'll probably win. More interesting will be the vote-share that goes to his rival, leftwing candidate Gustavo Petro. This is the first election since a controversial peace deal with FARC guerillas opened space for a legitimate leftist contender at the presidential level. Many Colombians, faced with such a polarizing election, may spoil their ballots, but the amount of support for Petro will tell us something about how peace with the FARC has realigned Colombia's traditionally center-right politics.
Kim's Home Movie — Wondering how the Singapore Summit played on North Korean TV? Or whether North Korea is a serious contender for next year's Oscar for best documentary? No need to watch the full 42 minutes of this, but the music alone makes this worth a bit of your time. Click here.
Kim search terms — Here's a sign that China is now happy with Chairman Kim. The Chinese expression "Jin San Pang," which translates as "Kim Fatty the Third," has reportedly disappeared from Baidu, China's largest search engine. This phrase wasn't hard to find when Kim was testing missiles last year. It seems to have disappeared around the time Kim visited Beijing in March.
WHAT WE'RE IGNORING
Coup speculation in Brazil — Signalista Alex Kliment on Brazil: After years of scandal, economic collapse, and soaring crime, nearly 40 percent of Brazilians say a military government might be a good thing. President Michel Temer recently had to publicly downplay talk of an imminent military coup. But unlike in 1964 — when the Brazilian army, with US support, toppled a left-wing nationalist president and ruled for 21 years — there isn't a powerful elite today that would support a coup. Also, the generals may find ballots more useful than bullets: Leading presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, a rightwing former army captain who speaks fondly of the military dictatorship, has pledged to bring generals into more government roles if he wins.
Ethiopian Bank Robbers — Well-informed Signal readers know successful developing countries face enormous urban infrastructure challenges as people flow from the countryside into overcrowded cities. As a result, they know better than to rob an Addis Ababa bank during rush hour. So how did these two bank-robbing chuckleheads not know that? After knocking over the Bole branch of Abyssinia Bank on Tuesday, these two got busted after abandoning their traffic-bound getaway car to flee on foot.
Animals climbing buildings — An ambitious raccoon became a real-time international sensation on Tuesday by scaling a 23-story building in Minneapolis as a (thankfully unknown) number of people around the world watched live via the Internet. The racoon was then captured on the roof and released safely into the wild. In future, your Friday author pledges he will no longer watch animals misbehaving on the Internet. I also renounce chocolate cake.
Creating harmony in the workplace
Empathy and listening are key to establishing harmonious relationships, as demonstrated by Callista Azogu, GM of Human Resources & Organization for Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), an Eni subsidiary in Abuja. "To build trust is very difficult. To destroy it is very easy," says Callista, whose busy days involve everything from personnel issues to union relationships. She sees great potential for her native Nigeria not only because of the country's natural resources, but because of its vibrant and creative people.
Learn more about Callista in this episode of Faces of Eni.
For the world's wealthiest nations, including the United States, the rollout of COVID-19 vaccine has been rocky, to say the least. And as a result, much of the developing world will have to wait even longer for their turn. Part of the challenge, World Bank President David Malpass says, is that "advanced economies have reserved a lot of the vaccine doses." Malpass sat down with Ian Bremmer recently to talk about what his organization is doing to try to keep millions around the world from slipping deeper into poverty during the pandemic. Their conversation was part of the latest episode of GZERO World.

Saturday will mark the beginning of an historic turning point for European politics as 1,001 voting members of Germany's Christian Democratic Union, the party of Chancellor Angela Merkel, hold an online conference to elect a new leader.
Here are the basic facts:

The candidates are Friedrich Merz, a business-friendly candidate of the center right, Armin Laschet, governor of Germany's largest state, and Norbert Röttgen, the current chairman of parliament's foreign affairs committee.

Any of these three could win. Merz has pledged to lead the CDU "out from the shadow of Angela Merkel" by leading the party toward the center right. The other two contenders have offered themselves as centrists and consensus builders.

The winner will enter negotiations with the CDU's sister party, the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union and its popular leader, Markus Söder, to choose a CDU-CSU unity candidate for September's national election. That choice will be made in late March or early April.

Watch the popularity ratings of this weekend's winner over the next few weeks. Those numbers will likely determine whether the new CDU leader or the CSU's Söder will be chosen as the union's candidate for chancellery.

That CDU-CSU unity candidate is highly likely to replace Merkel as Germany's chancellor in September, possibly in coalition with the Green party.

Europe will be watching all this closely, because Merkel's September exit will mark a crucial turning point for the European Union. Over the past 15 years, Merkel's ability to use Germany's unrivalled political and economic muscle and her own powers of persuasion have helped Europe navigate:

The sovereign debt crisis that followed the 2008-2009 global financial market meltdown

The migrant crisis that followed Syria's civil war

Increasingly troubled relations dividing Europe's North from South, and East from West

Ever more complex relationships with the United States and China

The process of moving beyond Brexit to build a new relationship with the UK

The response to the global pandemic

She certainly hasn't done all that alone. But as leader of the EUs most influential member, and by virtue of her experience and of international respect for her judgment and ability, she has proven indispensable for the EU's ability to absorb an extraordinary series of shocks.

Europe faces new challenges in 2021. The enormous economic recovery fund for EU members must be successfully rolled out. In a COVID world, there must be wisely crafted new rules for how much EU member states will tax and spend.

There's work to do with US President-elect Joe Biden to bolster transatlantic relations. The EU parliament will consider an historic and controversial investment deal with China. There are potential crises with Turkey to manage and complex relations with Russia to consider.

French President Emmanuel Macron will now move to center stage, but there are factors that will limit his ability to fill the vacuum left behind by Merkel.

First, given Germany's economic and political clout, Macron will need a capable and willing German partner, and for most of this year, Merkel will remain in place with reduced influence. It will take time for Germany's new leader to establish himself.

Second, just as Merkel departs in September, Macron must look to his own campaign for re-election next year. France has plenty of health, economic, and security challenges to keep him busy.
Bottom line: Saturday will open a new chapter in Europe's history — the post-Merkel EU. We'll learn more about what that means for Germany soon enough. Its meaning for Europe — and its ability to weather the next unexpected storm — will take much longer.

Clugston begins work on £39m Newcastle University development
Clugston Construction, part of the privately owned Clugston Group, has been given the go ahead to start construction of a new state-of-the-art learning and teaching centre for Newcastle University.
Due to open in January 2020, the £39m scheme will provide teaching and learning facilities for sport and exercise science, human nutrition, the School of Psychology, as well as specialist facilities for the School of Medical Education.
Located at the Richardson Road site in Newcastle, the brand new 9000m2, six-storey building will feature a lecture theatre for 300 students, social learning spaces, seminar rooms, clinical suites, and academic and postgraduate offices.
Procured through the North East Universities Major Capital Projects Framework which was established in 2017, the scheme will be delivered by Clugston and the design team, led by GSS Architects, both of whom have been involved in regular engagement sessions with the University and a group of key stakeholders from the Faculty of Medical Sciences from the outset of the project.
Situated alongside the recently completed Park View Student Village on Richardson Road, the new facility represents the last phase of the development of this key University site, which includes a new Sports Centre which is currently under construction.
Rod Fry, construction director at Clugston Construction, said:
"We are delighted to be working with Newcastle University to deliver such an innovative project. The collaborative approach adopted by the University has enabled all parties to contribute to developing the state-of-the-art facility. Over the coming weeks, we will be engaging with our suppliers to deliver what we know will be a valuable resource for the University, its staff and students."
Emma Stevenson, professor of sport and exercise science at Newcastle University, added:
"This exciting new project is part of Newcastle University's £500m investment in quality facilities that deliver an outstanding student experience and an excellent environment for our students' learning, teaching and research.
"This new facility will be used by the whole University, promoting the development of cross-disciplinary research and teaching in sport and exercise science, psychology and nutritional sciences."

Voluntary accreditation of cellular therapies: Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT)
Phyllis I. Warkentin
Pathology & Microbiology
Pathology, Nebraska Medicine
Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center
Voluntary accreditation of cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products intended for human transplantation is an important mechanism for improving quality in cellular therapy.

I am facing some issue in SQL Data Source.
So i want to transfer the data from GRID VIEW to another Page Without using SQL DATA Source.
there are many ways to transfer the values from gird view to another page.
one way is to use Page.PreviousPage property with find control method.
you can do the same using Hyperlink.
you can find another example in link below.

In this approach, top level units are tested first and lower level of units are tested step by step after that. This approach is opted when top down development approach is followed. Test stubs are needed to simulate lower level units which are not developed during the initial phase of development, especially when interaction with the external environment is needed. Thus these stubs act as a temporary replacement for those modules that will be completed in future. For example, in below diagram, we know that upper modules 1,2,3 are available for integration test while below modules are still under development and thus are replaced by stubs for testing.
The Top-down approach provides a consistency because integration is performed in an environment which is almost equivalent to reality But the drawback with this is that stubs sometimes are more complex to write than they seem to be and basic functionality is tested at the end of the cycle.
In this approach testing flows from bottom to top, thus smaller unit integration are tested first. This approach is an option when development is done from Bottom to up. Drivers programs are created to simulate the main module. Thus these driver programs act as a replacement for the main module if they are not developed.
In this approach development and testing can be done together so that product will be efficient as per customer requirement but in this driver, the module must be produced and the program as an entity does not exist until the last module is developed.
Stubs and Drivers are two types of test harness i.e, they are the collection of software and test data which is configured so that we can test a program unit by simulating the different set of conditions while monitoring the behavior and outputs. They both are dummy modules which are just created for test purpose.
Why do we have stubs?
Function A:– Calculates the total marks obtained by a student in an academic year and its derive its value from another Function B.
Function B:– Calculates the marks obtained in a particular subject.
Now you have finished working on Function A and wants to test it. But the problem you will face is that you cannot test Function A until you have inputs from Function B. And Function B is still under development.
In this scenario, you have to create a dummy function to replace Function B to test your function. This dummy function gets called by another function. Such a dummy is called a Stub. Also, you can see that since Function A is dependent on function B and Function A is developed earlier, which means we are following top-down testing approach. So in a simple language stubs are "called" programs, which are called in to test the major module's functionality.
To understand why we need a driver, suppose we are finished with Function B and is waiting for Function A to be developed. In this case, we will create a dummy to call the Function B. This dummy is called the driver. Drivers are thus the ones, which are the "calling" programs. Drivers are used in bottom-up testing approach. Drivers are dummy code, which is used when the sub-modules are ready but the main module is still not ready.
Acceptance testing is carried out to test if the contract between customer and developer is still on track. It ensures that software product met all customer requirement and changes that happened during the development phase.
Identify the issue or provide suggestion which unit or integration test cannot.
A product is said to pass acceptance testing successfully after fulfilling these criteria:- timely delivery, performance, scalability and upgradeability, functional correctness and completeness, requirement completion etc.
An acceptance test is a level of software testing and its purpose is to evaluate whether a product is acceptable for delivery. Let me explain it with an example of a desktop machine. During the process of manufacturing a keyboard, mouse, monitor, CPU and others are developed separately and thus unit tested separately. When two or more unit is ready then they are assembled and again tested, so integration test is performed. When the complete desktop is integrated, system test is performed. Once system test is completed, the acceptance testing is performed to ensure that the desktop is ready as per the requirement of an end user.
This is performed by the organization who developed the application but were not directly involved in the development (developer). They can be managers, sales person or anyone else from the organization who will verify the product created in accordance with client requirement. This testing is done before beta testing to find out any possible issues/bugs before releasing product to the client. Alpha testing uses both white box and black box testing, issues are usually fixed immediately by developers, ensures product quality before moving to beta testing and it is carried on the test environment.
This testing is performed by an end user of the software, the product is released to some of the end-users (a limited number of user) to perform the testing on real environment, this reduces the risk of issues/bugs that other end-users might find after full product delivery. It takes direct feedback from customer thus it adds an advantage to product quality delivery. Beta testing mainly uses black box testing, most of the issues or suggestion collected will then be implemented in the future version, and it is to make sure that product is ready for real time users.
Unit testing is performed on the smallest testable part of the application like methods, class etc. A Unit test is mainly carried out by developers or can also be carried by software tester. This mainly involves writing the test case of application in the same language which is used for development or there are some framework that provides the structure to write the test case and execute them effectively like we have PHP Unit in PHP for writing unit test cases. These are thus programs written in batches or test files and are verified with some input and with their expected output. A unit test is a key component of software programming, its permit the easy code changes with minimal time for the test at later stages of development.
Now you need to debug all your code, but if a unit test was carried out these issues can have resolved earlier (might be they never appeared), or at least you would have known where the issue is, by executing your test cases.
Unit testing is often neglected but it is the most important part of testing especially in a big project where multiple developers are working on the various module. Unit test is the first level of testing and is performed before integration test can be done, it is performed by using white box testing method.
It helps in finding a bug at an early stage of development and also helps to recognize if there is any flaw in the implementation of the specification.
The process of writing test cases forces a developer to think about the multiple scenarios of errors with various inputs and output conditions. Thus it also forces a developer to write function and object in a structured way, making code reusable and more modular.
Development is faster initially, you may find it tedious or may feel that writing the test case is an extra overhead for you but later on when you make any modification in your code and wants to test then you need not enter various input combination again and again, just you need is to execute your test case. Efforts required to fix a bug during the unit testing is less in comparison to that of defects detected at a higher level.
Debugging is easy, as already given example above unit test makes debugging easy for you by providing you the precise region or module where an error is related too.
Price glitch in e-commerce companies is the most common one. Once Screwfix had a price glitch on their website which made the customer to buy a product at 34.99 euros. From garden tractor to expensive toll were available at same price. This could be avoided if automation testing would have been done as this was a data validation error and required a redo of testing.
From 1985-1986, Canada's Terac-25 a radiation therapy machine malfunction due to a software glitch and delivered overdose radiation leaving 3 people died and some injured. The FDA declared the machine as defective. AECL then issued several software patches and updates which then allowed the machine to return to service. Though there was an issue with the software but the root cause was the entire design.
So, as it can be seen from above examples testing of software is very important to prevent any danger or expensive loss. We all should follow certain software development life-cycle, all of them focus on testing and helps to deliver the final product as bug-free or with the minimal bug.
Testing an application in modular form is never expensive rather it is fruitful. Also, some of us consider that testing should be done once the product is fully developed, there is no doubt final testing will be good but testing product simultaneously during development and creating test case will reduce time to test in future. As prevention is better than cure, fixing the bug or changing the implementation later may severely impact on project timely delivery. Testing a product during the development phase is very important to prevent any future issues which will take more time to fix later on.
Here the question arises, if tested software is not bug-free then what's the need to put an extra overhead of testing. Well, nothing is 100% accurate so the software is, there is always a chance of improvement. No one can claim that the software is 100% bug-free even if it is tested by experts. Complete testing is never possible as there might be various test cases that are never executed. We cannot always blame tested if there is some software glitch that occurs in the later stage of software. However, we can make sure about the test strategy that testing team is following to maximize the accuracy level.
Most of the companies do manual testing and specifically the just test design issues, which should not be the case. If a person is technically good then he can test the application efficiently and can explore and report bugs considering all possible alternative approach. Also, tester task is not just to find the bugs but also to suggest improvement as per market trends in an application, as they are domain experts of that particular software.
Before any product is released to end-user, it should undergo a testing process to ensure that the product is working in the same manner as intended. There are mainly four stages of testing that needs to be completed before a product is ready to use: Unit test, integration test, system test, and acceptance test.

Q: Gathering Active Directory Data for MVC intranet application I need assistance with gathering Active Directory data based on a table in my DB. I have an entity class that holds user requests. Each request has the user's windows name from System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name. My problem is I cannot figure out how to setup a linq query to associate the AD username to the rest of the AD so I can display their full names instead of their username in my table. Here is what I have so far, any help will be appreciated.
      public partial class RequestInfo
    {
    public int RequestInfoId { get; set; }
    public string RequestByUserADId { get; set; }
    public System.DateTime RequestDateTime { get; set; }
    public string Explanation { get; set; }

    public virtual UserInfo UserInfo { get; set; } // where I define my custom roles
    }

I can query AD by using the code below. I have tried Get Active Directory User Information With Windows Authentication in MVC 4, but it did not help.
        using (PrincipalContext context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
        using (UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, requestByAdId))
        {
            return user.DisplayName
        }

A: I may be off here because I am not sure if you are able to successful establish a user principal or not but if you have the user principal you can get property information like the following:
user.GetProperty("propertyName")

Here is a static method that should get you the department for a user, for example.
public static String GetDepartment(UserPrincipal principal)
{
    return principal.GetProperty("department");
}

Let me know where this gets you and I can elaborate further if this isn't working.
Edit
It appears you need to go one level deeper to get the fields that aren't by default a part of the user principal.  For this you will need to get the directory entry from the user principal first:
DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = (userPrincipal.GetUnderlyingObject() as DirectoryEntry);

Then you need to check if the attribute you are looking for exists, and if it does, get the value.  A great way to do this is to create a helper method that you pass your directory entry to along with the string value for the property name that you want to get.
public string GetProperty(DirectoryEntry directoryEntry, string propertyName)
{
    if (directoryEntry.Properties.Contains(propertyName))
    {
        return directoryEntry.Properties[propertyName][0].ToString();
    }
    else
    {
        return string.Empty;
    }
}

Please note that going to the underlying object is expensive.  I believe this operation, by default, is cached for you so subsequent use of this information can be retrieved from cache.  Playing around with
directoryEntry.RefreshCache

will get you started with that.
Let me know if this does the trick for you!

Director Bibliography: Makoto Shinkai
categories: Bibliographies
The names of Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, and Satoshi Kon are familiar to pretty much anyone who has an interest in Japanese animation. And it is no surprise that these are the three directors who have also received extensive attention in the English-language scholarly writing on anime. But, as was widely reported and discussed last year, Miyazaki has now effectively retired from working as a feature film director. Oshii's last anime film was 2008's Sky Crawlers – he has since been working primarily on live-action projects. Kon passed away in 2010.
The question of who will be the next truly major anime director has been raised time and time again in discussions about the current state of Japanese animation, and anime's prospects for the future. Some names that have come up include Hideaki Anno, Kunihiko Ikuhara, and Mamoru Hosoda – but none of them have received the same kind of acclaim or attention as did Miyazaki, Oshii, or Kon. Granted, there were definitely quite a few responses in the literature on anime to Anno and Neon Genesis Evangelion, but, important – transformative – as that series was, it was also very much a product of a particular point in time, and he has not been able to follow it up with anything else that would be as prominent. If there is one director that has consistently been tagged as "the next Hayao Miyazaki", it's Makoto Shinkai. His list of credits is still modest, with only five major works, and only two of those are full-length feature films. Nonetheless, scholars have been paying more attention to Shinkai than to any other currently active anime director. And it will be interesting to see how scholars will continue to respond to the work that he has done so far – and to the work he will hopefully continue to create going forward.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Shane Bieber's last name draws an immediate connection to a more famous global pop superstar, and playful teasing from his teammates.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger will start Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the Houston Astros.
Manager Terry Francona announced Tuesday that he'll go with Clevinger when the best-of-five series returns to Progressive Field next week. Clevinger went 13-8 with a 3.02 ERA and 200 strikeouts in 32 starts during the regular season.
BOSTON (AP) — Center fielder Greg Allen made two superb catches to help fellow rookie Shane Bieber hold down Boston, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Red Sox 6-3 Tuesday night in a matchup of AL division leaders.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Right-hander Shane Bieber was recalled by Cleveland from Triple-A Columbus to start against Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.
Infielder Yandy Diaz was optioned to Columbus to make room for Bieber, who is 5-1 with a 3.53 ERA in seven starts this season for the Indians.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Following another strong start from Shane Bieber, Indians closer Cody Allen managed to hit the brakes just in time during yet another tense ninth inning.
Allen overcame Giancarlo Stanton's leadoff homer in the ninth and retired pinch-hitter Didi Gregorius with the tying run on first to close out Cleveland's 6-5 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Brett Anderson's first start in two months wasn't pristine. But it was productive and another positive for the ascending Athletics.
Anderson came off the disabled list and worked into the sixth inning before turning things over to Oakland's outstanding bullpen as the A's downed the Cleveland Indians 6-0 on Sunday.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — After a rough debut, Cleveland Indians rookie Shane Bieber has found his routine.


Back in August 2000 BT first launched its high-speed internet connection to customers. Initially only available to around one third of UK households and costing £500 a year it was the first step in many to Broadband Britain.
Choosing an internet ISP is often a rash and impulsive decision, but you should put more research and time into this decision to achieve the best results. Internet ISP's are the portal by which you get onto the internet to visit websites. There are many different ones to choose from. The main goal that you should have in choosing one is that it offers a steady and consistent connection without disruptions, as well as speed.

Kim Kardashian Says She Didn't Think Reality Show Would Go Beyond Season 2
By Ziyaad Haniff
Kim stars on the two alternate covers of Vogue India.
After teasing fans with a photo from a cover shoot, Kim Kardashian graces the cover of Vogue India for the magazine's March edition. Kim and Vogue took to the web to reveal the two alternate covers of the issue. The first features the 37-year old reality star posing in a black dress, pressed against a backdrop of roses. The second features Kim in a red, lacy dress staring fiercely at the reader. Both are captioned, "Why are 160 million people obsessed with her? We find out."
Vogue India also previewed an upcoming exclusive with Kim. The short excerpt speaks on the star's trajectory as an entrepreneur, the longevity of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and the redeeming qualities of her family. Kardashian also noted her fascination with traditional Indian outfits after wearing a sari during the photoshoot. "I told my show that we have to figure out how to get to India" the star joked. When asked about her career expectations, Kim honestly replied, "I thought I was just going to run my clothing store. I didn't think [the show] would go beyond season 1 or 2. And then as things were happening, my mom and I were so excited. We didn't even know what we were starting, but we knew we were in it together. We definitely made so many mistakes. At first, we would be involved in anything. But it helped us work our way up to now, to launching a beauty brand completely by myself, and funding it all."
It's been a notable week for Kim. The Kardashian-West family were revealed to be contestants on an upcoming Family Feud episode, much to the internet's excitement. Kardashian also revealed the first official photo of the newest addition to the family, Chicago West on Instagram.

Here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), there's something I feel I need to discuss.
It's not something that everyone would feel badly about. But, I do. And, I believe that other born again Christians would also feel badly, like I do.
Well, I'll share a couple of articles with you, that you can read. Then, you'll know what the issue is.
Libertyheadlines.com wrote an article entitled, Canada Rewrites Anthem to Be 'Gender-Neutral': https://www.libertyheadlines.com/canada-rewrites-anthem-gender-neutral/.
The bill would replace the lyrics "in all thy sons command" with "in all of us command," according to CBC News. Former member of the Canadian House of Commons Mauril Bélanger first introduced the legislation in 2016.
CNN.com wrote n article entitled, Canada moves to make its national anthem gender-neutral: http://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/americas/canada-gender-neutral-national-anthem-trnd/index.html.
(CNN)Canada's Senate has passed a bill making the country's national anthem gender-neutral.
If you're not familiar with the words to "O Canada," here's how the first few lines of the English version originally read: O Canada! / Our home and native land! / True patriot love in all thy sons command.
The bill changes the phrase "in all thy sons command" to "in all of us command."
It must now receive "royal assent" from the governor general before it becomes law.
The move, sponsored by late politician Mauril Bélanger, was praised by prominent Canadians, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and "The Handmaid's Tale" author Margaret Atwood.
Unfortunately, our Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and many other Canadians are in support of that. Even though it is sinful.
After all, I believe it's dirty and sinful to support Gender-neutral... just like has been done so that men and women can use the same washroom, instead of having women only in women's washrooms, and only men in men's washrooms.
Thinking of this evilness, made me think of Matthew 7:20-23, "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
Amen... our Canadian government seems to be evil. And, what they sometimes do, they spoil and violate items that are important to Canadians.
Like our Canadian national anthem.
Please know that I pray for those sinful people.
I pray that they'll come to Christ and gain salvation, by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. For if they do, they won't spend eternity in Hell, separated from God, with NO chance of escape.
And, I believe they will then, work hard to prevent evilness from happening within Canada.
If you pray, I believe God will bless you.
Forever? Or, For A Moment?
H.B. K! & Happy Valentine's Day!

Researchers Grow a Lung from Stem Cells
Josh Umbehr News
Recently we covered how researchers are using stem cells to grow new livers, breasts, and even faces. Now scientists at the University of Minnesota have teamed up with BioE Inc., to grow type II alveolar cells from stem cells.
The cord blood cells differentiated into a type of lung cell called type II alveolar cells. These cells are responsible for secreting surfactant, a substance which allows the air sacs in the lungs to remain open, allowing air to move in and out of the sacs. The cells are also responsible for helping to repair the airway after injury.
"In the future, we may be able to examine cord blood from babies who have lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, to do more research to understand how these diseases evolve as well as to develop better medical treatments," said David McKenna, M.D., assistant professor of lab medicine and pathology and medical director of the Clinical Cell Therapy Lab at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview.
The research paper is currently available online, and will be published in the Nov. 7, 2006, issue of the journal Cytotherapy.
Type II alveolar cells develop late in fetal development, which is why some premature babies are born with underdeveloped lungs. The cells and the air sacs as a whole continue to mature and develop through a child's first few years of life.
Now the researchers will try to better characterize the cells, so that in the future, the cells could be used as a research tool to better understand lung development and disease. The cells may also be useful as a way to test potential new drugs.
To differentiate the lung cells from the cord blood, McKenna and his team first derived the Multi-Lineage Progenitor CellTM (MLPCTM) from umbilical cord blood. This stem cell, which was first isolated and characterized by BioE, Inc., St. Paul, is a precursor cell that can be expanded in culture, then differentiated into different types of tissue representative of all three embryonic lineages, endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm.

La base aérienne 111 Lyon-Bron était un site opérationnel de l'Armée de l'air française, situé sur le territoire de la commune de Bron, près de la ville de Lyon.

Elle était active de 1910 à 1964.

Histoire

Durant la Première Guerre mondiale

Un camp d'aviation est créé en .

L'école de pilotage est active.

Le  d'aviation rassemble plusieurs escadrilles actives.

Entre les deux guerres
Le  d'aviation, renommé  Régiment Aérien d'Observation, puis  Régiment d'Aviation Mixte, opère à partir de cette base.

À la création de l'Armée de l'air, en 1934, la base reçoit le numéro 105.

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Le groupe de chasse III/9 y est stationné.
Le groupe de reconnaissance I/35 opère dans le secteur.
Le capitaine Jean Robert est ainsi mortellement touché, en 1940.

La base devient un lieu de stockage, jusqu'à son occupation effective, en .

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Reconstruite, elle prend le nom de Base aérienne 111 en 1951.
Elle accueille le Centre d'Entraînement des Réserves 306, de 1945 à 1964.

L'ancienne base aérienne, de nos jours
L'École de santé des armées y est présente depuis 1981.

Le terrain est aujourd'hui connu sous le nom d'Aéroport de Lyon-Bron. Il est le troisième aéroport d'affaires de France, après celui du Bourget et de Cannes-Mandelieu.

Q: iOS - table view - static cells (grouped) - change section header text color Overview
I have an iOS project with a table view with the following specification:

*

*static cells (content is not dynamically populated)

*style is grouped

Question

*

*How can I change the text color of the section header of the static table view ?

A: You need to create your own header view:
implement within your tableview datasource/delegate
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    NSString *sectionTitle = [self tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];
    if (sectionTitle == nil) {
        return nil;
    }

    // Create label with section title
    UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] init] autorelease];
    label.frame = CGRectMake(20, 6, 300, 30);
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    label.textColor = [UIColor colorWithHue:(136.0/360.0)  // Slightly bluish green
                                 saturation:1.0
                                 brightness:0.60
                                      alpha:1.0];
    label.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    label.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
    label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16];
    label.text = sectionTitle;

    // Create header view and add label as a subview

    // you could also just return the label (instead of making a new view and adding the label as subview. With the view you have more flexibility to make a background color or different paddings
    UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, SectionHeaderHeight)];
    [view autorelease];
    [view addSubview:label];

    return view;
}

A: Can make this too:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    [[((UITableViewHeaderFooterView*) view) textLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
}

.....

A: I was able to view the header only after adding height for header along with the view
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    return 110;
}

A: In Swift 4.2:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplayHeaderView view: UIView, forSection section: Int) {
    if let headerView = view as? UITableViewHeaderFooterView {
        headerView.textLabel?.textColor = UIColor.OMGColors.dimText
    }
}

No need to make your own header view - that defeats the purpose of static cells. I'm surprised you can't set this directly in IB somewhere though...

SpiceJet shares rise on announcement of new routes, connectivity to Northeast
For the new schedule, SpiceJet will deploy its Bombardier Q400 fleet.
By : Kalyani Pandey
Representational Image.Reuters
Low-cost carrier SpiceJet, on Monday, announced it would start flights to the Guwahati, Silchar, and Aizwal from October in a bid to boost connectivity in the region. In a statement, the airline said that the new flights were being introduced to get the North-Eastern states "under its radar."
Following the news, SpiceJet stock was trading at Rs. 60.10 at around 11.45 a.m. on Tuesday, up 1.26 percent from its previous close on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
For the newly devised schedule, the carrier would deploy its Bombardier Q400 fleet.
"Flights to new sectors effective from October 4 include Kolkata-Silchar-Guwahati; Kolkata-Aizwal-Guwahati and Kolkata-Gorakhpur-Delhi," SpiceJet said.
SpiceJet will begin operating on the Kolkata-Vishakhapatnam-Kolkata sector from Nov. 1.
The low-cost carrier's new schedule will also include additional frequencies with a direct flight on its existing routes of Kolkata-Bagdogra and Kolkata-Guwahati.
"North East, despite being a crucial tourist locale, has been deprived of good air connectivity. Hence, our new schedule lays special attention on this region, connecting the major hub-ports of the seven sisters states and we look forward to further strengthen our presence in this market in the near future," Shilpa Bhatia, senior vice president, Spicejet, said in the statement.
The airline is offering tickets at an all inclusive introductory air-fares of Rs. 2,177 for the Kolkata-Aizwal and Rs. 1,899 for the Aizwal-Guwahati sector. In addition, the Mumbai-based carrier is also offering airfare of Rs. 3,699 for the Kolkata-Silchar route and Rs. 4,188 for the Silchar-Guwahati sectors.
SpiceJet, which had consistently maintained the highest Passenger Load Factor (PLF) among all carriers for the past few months, witnessed a decline to 92 percent during the month from 93 percent in June 2016. Its market share also dropped to 11.7 percent in July from 12.7 percent in June 2016.

I have moved around a lot since junior high, and one thing my family and I have always made sure we do is go home for the holidays–home as in Mississippi.
So, in celebration of the joyous holiday, I went through picture boxes with my mom this afternoon looking for pictures from Christmases past. Now, while I scurry off to bake some holiday cookies, y'all take a look at some fun throwback pictures from my Christmases at home. Ah…I kind of miss those days….
My Paw Riley and I opening a Christmas present!
The only cat I ever truly loved–Gracie!
We had a real Christmas tree once…once (we found out we have allergies *wink*). We adorned it with butter cookies–yes, edible ornaments!
One of the few photos I have with my late Paw Hathorn. I am not going to lie, I teared up a little bit when I stumbled upon this picture in my mom's photo boxes. Miss him so much!
My dad and I Christmas shopping a few years ago.
