I want to get the id of account on the current visualforce page so that I can add/delete multiple contacts for that particular account.
But I am getting error as Method does not exist or incorrect signature: ApexPages.currentPage.getParameters()
Please help me

A: currentPage is a method of ApexPages and not a property.
change this
ApexPages.currentPage.getParameters().get('Id')

to
ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id')

A: Can you try getting AccountId in Constructor and then use it for passing the parameter so that you will get Id as soon as the page gets Loaded.
try like following:
public class addAttendee {
  public Id accountIdParam ;

  public addAttendee(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
     //Store the Id in variable at page Load and use it across the class
     accountIdParam = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id');
  }

public void addRow(){
 addattendeeList = new List<Contact>();
 attendeeList.add(new Contact(AccountId = accountIdParam));
}

this will make your code more reusable also it should be
ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id');
you are missing () in currentPage()
Thanks,
Nachiket

Measurement Counts: International Student Tests and Economic Growth
Eric A. Hanushek and Ludger Woessmann
While some countries such as Germany are avid consumers of PISA data, others such as the U.S. are much less concerned about PISA scores. In most cases, reactions to PISA scores appear largely based on notions of national pride, in where the country falls in the league tables of results. But the scores tell us much more. The PISA scores are a good index of the future quality of the labor force in each country, and the quality of the labor force in turn has been shown to be a decisive factor in determining the long-run growth rates of nations.
Early studies of school attainment and economic growth
For the last quarter century, economists have focused on why some nations grow faster than others. Economic growth is what determines the future economic wellbeing of societies, and apparently small differences in growth rates have enormous implications for future income levels.
Until recently, this research focused on school attainment – driven both by the extensive work on individual earnings and by the ready availability of such data – in order to characterize differences in skills of workers around the world. Starting around 1990, economists began studying the determinants of long-run growth (e.g., Romer 1990; Barro 1991; Mankiw, Romer, and Weil 1992). While there were some disagreements about how to do this analysis and how to interpret the results, a key point is that virtually all such studies measured skills by school attainment.
Each of these efforts, however, was subject to on-going criticism for leaving out consideration of variation in skills, for ignoring human capital produced outside of schools such as within families, for ignoring any consideration of school quality, and for concerns about issues of causation. These criticisms have proven to be well-founded.
Figure 1. Test scores and economic growth rates across countries
Note. Plot of a regression of average annual rate of growth (in percent) of real GDP per capita between 1960-2000 on average international student achievement test scores, average years of schooling in 1960, and initial level of real GDP per capita in 1960 (mean of unconditional variables added to each axis). Source: Hanushek and Woessmann (2015).
Measuring skills directly makes all the difference
As better data from the international assessments have become available, the importance of educational quality in determining economic wellbeing has become undeniable. Specifically, differences in the long-run growth of nations are closely linked to international test scores (Hanushek and Woessmann, The Knowledge Capital of Nations, MIT Press, 2015). Figure 1 shows the relationship between test scores and average GDP growth rates per capita for a selection of countries between 1960 and 2000.
In short, growth is tightly tied to the skills of a country's population, and international tests such as PISA and TIMSS do a good job at measuring these important labor-force skills. Moreover, once measures of what students know are put into the growth models, years of school attainment offer no additional explanatory power.
Measurement matters. This shifts the policy focus immediately from just school attainment to the more important issues of school quality.

From a holistic perspective, allergies are not caused by allergens but rather result from an underlying imbalance in the immune system. The immune system must be compromised in some way for animals (and this includes humans) to be susceptible.
>>TrailBlazer is now offering nutrition consultations and testing! Click here for more information!
This means that allergy symptoms can often be eradicated by balancing the immune system using proper nutrition, supplements, and healing modalities like homeopathy and acupuncture. Until this rebalancing is achieved, preventing contact with allergens is key in helping your dog feel better.
Allergies in dogs can present as skin itchiness and irritation, gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea, and/or upper respiratory symptoms such as watery eyes, sneezing, and/or ear infections. Many holistic practitioners believe that if symptoms are left untreated or are suppressed through the use of drugs, they can ultimately result in more serious chronic diseases such as arthritis, urinary tract infections, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Common allergens for dogs include fleas and environmental factors such as grasses and pollens. A bad reaction to food does not necessarily indicate an allergy but is more likely an intolerance or sensitivity to a protein the dog has ingested. A true food allergy is less common and generally develops over a long period of time and as a reaction to a food the dog eats frequently. The most common proteins, and therefore the most common food allergens, include corn, wheat, soy, beef, chicken, eggs, and milk. Whatever the source of a food allergy is determined to be, it must be avoided as much as possible in order for treatment to be effective.
Allergy testing can provide useful information on environmental allergies, but hasn't been as reliable in testing for food sensitivities. Dr. Jean Dodds, world renowned animal immunologist, researcher, and creator of Hemopet Bloodbank for dogs, has introduced and patented a new test called Nutriscan that analyzes a dog's saliva for food intolerance and sensitivity to the most common allergens listed above. Talk to your local holistic veterinarian about obtaining this test.
Improve the quality of food; consider raw or home-cooked or buy premium quality kibble/canned.
Try a limited ingredient diet which includes a novel protein (one your dog hasn't had before) and one carbohydrate. Since grains can be common allergens, they should be eliminated as well. Once your dog improves you can slowly begin to add other foods to help determine what he/she may be allergic or sensitive to.
Reduce the flea population on and around your dog or cat, using natural methods when possible. There are many such options; visit your local holistic pet care center for advice.
Enhance your dog's immune system with nutritional supplements, such as anti-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids (fish oil) and enzymes/probiotics. Enzymes help the dog's digestive system break down proteins more completely so they are less likely to trigger a response. Probiotics help maintain the proper levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which builds a strong immune system.
Minimize vaccinations and your dog's exposure to other toxins to the best of your ability.
Minimize stress and avoid stressful environments.
Consider acupuncture and Chinese herbs (TCM) or homeopathy.
Soothing, not suppressive, topicals such as calendula, lavender, aloe, and green tea for skin lesions and hot spots. Choose one with natural anti-bacterial properties to help soothe, calm, and heal.
Natural anti-inflammatory herbs and supplements like nettles, yucca, licorice; and natural antihistamines such as Quercetin, Vitamin C, and MSM.
Beta Thym – a plant derived steroid – that has cortisone-like effects without the side effects of synthetic drugs.
Antronex from Standard Process, a whole food/glandular supplement that supports the liver and the body's natural antihistamine function.
If this approach does not help alleviate your dog's allergy symptoms, ask your veterinarian to check for parasites, fungal and bacterial infections, and hormonal conditions such as hypothyroidism, all of which can create allergy-like symptoms.
Many veterinarians, both mainstream and holistic, will recommend cortisone and/or antibiotics to quickly help stop itching and thereby avoid secondary bacterial infections that can result when skin is damaged. These drugs can provide temporary but much needed relief and break the cycle of itching, but the best allergy remedies are those that support, rather than suppress, the immune system and gradually optimize your dog's overall health.

Bringing Life to Literary Analysis
February 27, 2017 February 27, 2017 Michael Ziegler
Lessons Learned in a Galaxy Far, Far Away…
My wife and I are big enough film buffs that it's pretty commonplace for us to comment aloud about the beauty of a particular shot's composition or color or general aesthetic while watching a film. Our kids are used to hearing such remarks even during family movie night.
So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when, after I had remarked about a favorite shot from the opening scene in Star Wars The Force Awakens , my eight-year-old chimed in a few scenes later, "THIS is my favorite shot in the movie." It was the first shot of Rey, the film's heroine, so perhaps it shouldn't have surprised me that the shot stood out to her. And yet, look at it:
Screenshot: The Force Awakens (20th Century Fox)
It's not exactly the introduction of a strong-willed heroine for a young girl to idolize and fall in love with. It's…strange and foreign. Off-putting, even potentially villainous (the costume design of the mask strikes a perfect balance between menace and utilitarian practicality). I ended up pausing the film for a second and we talked about a few different shots in the film, and it turned out she had some fairly sophisticated reasons for loving each of them. Her "mentor text" for such thinking had simply been my wife and I talking film in front of her.
This got me thinking about how we actually talk about literature, and movies, and other works of art. You don't have to look much farther than Twitter for evidence of this–the account "One Perfect Shot" quite literal posts a single film image every hour or so that they consider perfectly composed. Occasionally they feature analysis of a singular scene and look closely at its effectiveness. I do similar things all the time with my colleagues when talking about favorite books–it's how we interact with art.
Image via "One Perfect Shot" on Twitter.com
What Happens When We "Go Big"?
The thing is, this looks nothing like the many variations of literary analysis writing I devote time to in my HS classes. Topics vary, but it feels like ultimately my students are always writing the same paper. Lit analysis tends to fall back on some variation of "prove to me you have mastered an understanding of this work based on X." X then becomes some interchangeable variable like "theme" or "characterization".
Nothing wrong with any of those! Except if I want anything out of this form of writing, it's passion and engagement on the part of my students. When we ask a student to become an expert on the whole book at once, a lot of our writers instinctively shrink from the task, and their writing voices shrink with them. Maybe the secret to more engaged literary analysis might be to make it look more like the way we talk about art–in terms of the moments we love best, or that got us thinking the most.
We usually ask students to examine the entirety of a text in a literary analysis. Good teachers of course help make this manageable. Graphic organizers guide the writing and evidence hunting, the focal points of the prompt I mentioned earlier make the task feel less overwhelming, and teacher modeling during the reading points out obvious and useful examples for students to use as starting points in their own analyses.
It's worth considering the potential pitfalls and limitations to these sorts of well-intentioned efforts, at least in my experiences with them. Graphic organizers are an enormous help for struggling writers but invite a reliance on formula that can be hard to drag them away from later. Narrower prompts help kids focus their reading attention on a task, but their narrowness also tends to limit the reader's freedom to interact with the text in a personal way. Modeling helps kids see how to read purposefully but then closes off sections of the text from being explored freshly in their own writing.
Trading Scope for Substance
Which brings me back to the way my daughter started chatting about a movie. She could never explain the visual aesthetic of JJ Abrams as a director but she did a pretty nice job of explaining what she liked about that first moment we meet her hero. If an eight year old whose only film education is listening to her mom and dad nerd out can produce this, why couldn't a high school writer do the same with a work of literature?
As readers, we recognize the nuance of a piece first and then consider it as a whole. Sometimes we never end up engaging with the entire work in any personal way, but small moments may still have an impact. I loathe the thematic substance of John Updike's Rabbit Run, but I could read the gorgeous prose of that opening scene of a pickup basketball game in an alley all day and not get bored:
A Sample annotation of Updike
While this approach to literary analysis has its own potential pitfalls, I'm hopeful that the increase in voice and buy-in from the kids will make up for it. It allows them to not only individualize their paper more, but to take some control of the discussion of literature itself. Suddenly they're coming to the conference table with a lot of ownership about their perspective and opinions.
Students can direct their analysis at scenes they're comfortable with and intrigued by. Even students who disliked a text now have an entry point–they could pick a scene they didn't despise, or, they could choose a scene that encapsulates their frustrations with the book and examine how the writing disappoints their expectations as readers.
The other advantage here is that student voice should increase. Traditional literary analysis tends to produce cold, lifeless pieces from kids. Their mentor texts here should be things like book and movie reviews, but even beyond that, students should get more exposure to all the think pieces on the internet that zero in on particular moments or elements of books and movies that are worth paying attention to. In fact, in an odd way, one of their best mentor texts might be the natural conversations they have with their friends about works that they love and ones they don't. Literary analysis should ultimately sound more like the way we interact with art in our everyday lives.
As Rebekah and others have accurately pointed out, we aren't training our students to become English Majors. But helping them to think more genuinely about art seems like a really good use of writing time.
How do you encourage voice in literary analysis writing?
Do you have fun ways of helping students interact meaningfully with a text before they write about it?
How do you engage every writer during a writing lesson?

Previous PostWonderfully Messy Notebooks Next PostThe Door of Chaos: Responding to Original Ideas
Amy Estersohn says:
I like the idea that the "think piece" is the literary essay out in the wild. It's an example genre of how memoir, evidence, and analysis come together.
I've had students write about the rise and fall of the Disney Channel and about how Mean Girls changed the high school movie forever.
I'm also convinced that the "think piece" genre is on the rise since journalism has moved from print to online and from sending investigative reporters out into the field on assignments (expensive) towards freelancers writing and producing content at their leisure (not expensive). I'm concerned as to what that shift means for the future of readers and writers …. but that's neither here nor there.
Michael Ziegler says:
Yes–I agree completely! I love the way you summarize this too: memoir, evidence, and analysis all working in unison. We're talking in my district right now about whether to tear down the walls of genre (right now we still speak in terms of informative, argumentative, narrative as discrete) and I think you've succinctly explained why we need to follow through on that plan. Thanks!


Your choice of a small handgun for concealed carry will depend on many factors: your size, shape, ability to handle recoil, shooting abilities, rounds you feel necessary to carry for personal safety, etc. There is no one gun for every person. In fact, Wisconsin law does not limit the number of guns you can carry at one time and there is no problem carrying two or more! You may find that the handgun you carry in the summer when jogging or walking the dog will be different from the one you carry in winter while wearing a heavy parka.
Wolf River Concealed Carry LLC is one of the few classes in the state that offers actual shooting instruction! We believe this is crucial to your overall knowledge and ability to protect yourself and your loved ones. Part of this instruction is helping YOU find the handgun(s) that fit your lifestyle, wardrobe, beliefs and needs.
In general, the smaller the handgun, the easier it is to conceal, BUT the harder it is to shoot accurately. Smaller handguns are lighter, so they will jump ("kick") more when shot. This is why you need to practice-practice-practice with your handgun so you can handle it when the chips are down. Smaller handguns also typically have smaller magazine capacities (pistols) or hold fewer rounds in the cylinder (revolvers).
These handguns and several others also are available for you to try FREE when you sign up for a basic 2-hour pistol class. The cost for one or two people is the same: $100, including 50 rounds of ammo! What a bargain compared to shooting at those pricey indoor ranges! You can join New London Fish and Game Club for a full year for only $15 and shoot almost any time you want!


Certain games symbolize the classic casino experience like no other. Sure, you'd feel that something was missing at a casino without blackjack or craps, but nothing lets you know that you're arrived at the casino floor like the awe-inspiring sight of the banks and banks of colorful, exciting little wonders that we call slot machines.
Likewise, when it came time to adapt the casino to the online experience, a lot of attention went into making the virtual slots as iconic, realistic, and stimulating as the machines that inspired them. The initial results were…not satisfactory. Honestly, the first decade of online slot machines saw quite a few games that barely measured up to even the humblest of one-armed bandits. However, increased computing power and software know-how, not to mention breakthroughs in overall online speed and stability, allowed virtual slot machines to catch up to players' expectations quickly…and then surpass them.
When you are looking for a good slots experience online, the best online casinos will be able to more than satisfy your needs and your curiosity. Whereas even a minor slots session at an online casino often required a long-distance voyage, an expensive vacation, or at least a day trip, online slots can be accessed in seconds at any time you feel the urge. Also unlike the typical casino expedition, you can play for five seconds, five minutes, or five hours if you like. It's all up to you — you never have to feel like you need to "make the most" of your time at the casino, because it truly is your time to begin and end whenever you wish.
The same goes for your money: spend a lot, spend a little, or spend none. Online slots can be played with a wide variety of limits, from pennies per spin to high-roller amounts — and, as we've said, nothing at all. Nearly any slot that you find online can be taken for a lengthy test drive before a single penny is virtually inserted.
So learn to play slots online — you'll appreciate the differences, and you'll love the convenience, but the games themselves are what will ultimately win you over and convince you that online slots are the next step in gaming evolution.

Stephen & Kate were married on the most perfect blue sky day at a summer Shelburne Farms wedding. We started the day at Kate's childhood home in Shelburne which always lends such a personal touch – everyone is relaxed and in their own space. Kate also is a superb planner (with an assist from Elise at Delaney Meeting & Events) so the day ran smoothly and on time – not always an easy feat when you're moving between locations! The groomsmen and Stephen kept us all laughing with their antics and everyone was just wonderfully happy – how could you not be? Kate & Stephen are at complete ease around each other and so clearly enjoyed themselves throughout. They are now back from their honeymoon in Bali (I generously offered to go along and document it) so it's time for the photos!
But first a roll call of the awesome professionals who made the day run without a wrinkle…..

Budapest Citadel reconstruction to continue under archaeological monitoring

Prison sentence for animal cruelty? Here is the number of cases in Hungary
Hungarian history
The post has been shared by	19 people.
Archeological research and a comprehensive site assessment completed in preparation for a three-year reconstruction of Budapest's Citadel has revealed Celtic, Roman and Turkish coins and ceramics, and the remains of a 19th century observatory's walls, the project manager has told MTI.
Archaeological monitoring will be maintained during the entire project, Gábor Kőrösi said.
Archeologists have found the remains of the "Csillagda" observatory built in 1851 on Gellért Hill, the highest point of the city centre. It was regarded as the most modern observatory in Europe at the time. It was dismantled in 1870, chief archeologists Zoltán Fullar said.
The Celtic, Roman and Turkish coins and ceramics are believed to have been hidden in layers of soil taken to the site from other parts of Gellért Hill, he said.
The next phase of the Citadel's reconstruction includes the renovation of the one-time military fortress's walls, creating a park in the place of a WW2 bunker and an exhibition commemorating "Hungarian fights for freedom".

Just wanted to update everyone on our visit to the Duke ALS clinic. It was a very long day and my husband actually gave out before the Duke clinic did. Dr. Bedlack and his staff are awesome. Of course one final EMG was the slam dunk for my husband's ALS diagnosis. The doctor basically took a few more vials of blood on the 1% chance that it could be anything else and to do the test for a genetic link. We left with a definite ALS diagnosis and about 9 prescriptions, one for the Rilutek medicine and the others for equipment. They are already sending someone from home health care to do a breathing study on him as the Dr. did not want to wait a month until our next visit. I am pretty sure my husband will need a bi-pap or something soon. He also went ahead and discussed the feeding tube. He mentioned that he usually doesn't like to discuss these things on the first visit but due the rate of progression he felt he had to. My husband is pretty reluctant about that but the doc said that if his breathing decreases much more he won't even be able to do it. I would like advice because his mom, dad, and myself feel we should push him a little bit to go ahead and do that soon as if he doesn't, I don't think he really understands how little time he might have left here. My husband is young (I am 9 years older w/2 sons) and a bit naive at times, although we don't treat him that way. He was never married before or had children. He is painfully thin and if not sitting up properly has a great deal of difficulty swallowing anything. The social worker at the clinic is amazing and has already jumped on many issues. At least we don't feel so alone anymore. Eric's dad was awesome during the whole trip and must be exhausted after physically transferring Eric over 10 times in two days. They are looking to get us a loner power chair until the disability comes through and they add medicare. Then he may be able to get a custom chair as his 6 ft. 3. frame doesn't work too well with the conventional. We are also looking at finding a used accessible van as the past two days were almost impossible with trying to get him in and out of a car. It was good that they kept us busy asking questions as too much down time allows all of us to think of how quickly he is slipping away from us. Thanks to everyone on this forum who has helped me through these times before we got any support. Maybe as we go through this I will be able to return the favor and help others here to find answers.
I am very sorry for your husbands diagnosis. He is very lucky to have you by his side. I am sorry you had to find this forum, just know we are here to support you and answer your question. God Bless you and your family!
Sorry about the diagnosis. Wish it couldve been something else.
On the peg issue. You could tell him that it is a good idea to get one now- before he NEEDS it needs it- just so its in place.
And when the time comes, if he decides he doesnt want to use it, he doesnt have to. But it will at least be there if he does want it- in case his breathing declines too quickly.
My thoughts are with you. Having been in your shoes, we all know how hard this is.
I am sorry too that this is the news you had to hear. You are in good hands with Bedlack and his staff. We, too, have nothing but good things to say about everyone at the clininc and never leave feeling alone.
Thank you for you post. I have been waiting 3 months for my first visit. I will be going to Pittsburgh for Dr. Lacomis. Hopefully I come out of there feeling helped and supported as you do. You have a good attitude for helping your husband. As bad as your situation is your post was actually uplifting!
I am so sorry about your diagnosis i was told feb5 2010 . it nothing getting g-tube you go in morning and then in evening go home . he will have pain at first but they will give pain meds. i was still eating when i got mine but i couldnot get enough calories to maintain weight, i didnot mind i was over weigth but dr didnot like it. you can eat while still having g-tube you just don't feel pressure to eat so much, you eat just what you want. my prayers are with ya'll.
Catcaniac - Duke ALS Clinic was where we went to get a final diagnosis for my husband exactly 3 years ago. Sounds familiar to your visit with that "slam dunk" EMG -- ouch! Dr. Bedlack and the entire team were great -- very thorough in the process as well. We eventually transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, as it was an easier trip for us to attend clinics. I truly believe 4 things have prolonged my husband's life: rilutek, bipap, PEG and the grace of God. Got the PEG just as the breathing hit 47% and used it at first for supplemental calorie intake. Then gradually moved from eating by mouth to only using PEG. It has been a blessing to have it for meds as time goes on. It was a little rough day of surgery-- but in and out in same day. The hardest thing was traveling home over bumpy roads after the surgery. I highly recommend this procedure. He has had it since summer of '09. You are in good hands as you begin this life-changing journey. May you and your husband grow closer than ever and enjoy each new day together. God bless.

Wash the rice in cold water several times, and drain.
Bring the coconut milk, rice, bayleaf and salt to a boil, and remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it stand, covered, for thirty minutes.
Remove the rice, place it on a piece banana leaf and steam in a steamer over hot water for thirty minutes.
Combine the chicken and coconut milk, and blend into a coarse, grainy mixture. Grind together the coriander, garlic and sugar, and fry in the oil for one minute.
Add the chicken, salt, jeruk purut and salam. Fry for about five minutes or until the chicken is light brown and dry.
Discard the lime peel and bay leaf.
in a mortar or spice grinder, grind together the coriander, garlic and sugar.
Fry for one minute in oil.
Add the beef, lime, bay-leaf, salt and coconut milk. Cook over medium heat for about five minutes, or until the beef is lightly browned.
Discard the lime peel, bay leaf and any liquid that may have accumulated.
two 14-inch squares of banana leaves or heavy duty aluminium kitchen foil.
Place half the rice in the centre of a banana leaf, and flatten it out with your fingers into a 10 by 15 cm (4"x6") rectangle about 5 mm (¼ in) thick. The rice is sticky, and the process will be easier if you cover your fingers with oil.
Spread half the beef or chicken filling along the centre of the rice rectangle from end to end. Then fold both sides of the foil toward each other, lengthwise pressing firmly into a roll about 2 inches in diameter. Seal the foil ends to make a firmly packed roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
The rice rolls can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to two days before serving.
Remove the rolls from the leaf, and slice into 2.5 cm (1-in) thick pieces like a jelly roll. This dish should be eaten at room temperature.

On the recent warming of the southeastern Bering Sea Shelf
Stabeno, P.J., N.A. Bond, and S.A. Salo
Deep-Sea Res. II, 54(23–26), 2599–2618, doi: 10.1016/j.dsr2.2007.08.023 (2007)
During the last decade, the southeastern Bering Sea shelf has undergone a warming of not, vert, ~3°C that is closely associated with a marked decrease of sea ice over the area. This shift in the physical environment of the shelf can be attributed to a combination of mechanisms, including the presence over the eastern Bering Sea shelf of a relatively mild air mass during the winter, especially from 2000 to 2005; a shorter ice season caused by a later fall transition and/or an earlier spring transition; increased flow through Unimak Pass during winter, which introduces warm Gulf of Alaska water onto the southeastern shelf; and the feedback mechanism whereby warmer ocean temperatures during the summer delay the southward advection of sea ice during winter. While the relative importance of these four mechanisms is difficult to quantify, it is evident that for sea ice to form, cold arctic winds must cool the water column. Sea ice is then formed in the polynyas during periods of cold north winds, and this ice is advected southward over the eastern shelf. The other three mechanisms can modify ice formation and melt, and hence its extent. In combination, these four mechanisms have served to temporally and spatially limit ice during the 5-year period (2001–2005). Warming of the eastern Bering Sea shelf could have profound influences on the ecosystem of the Bering Sea—from modification of the timing of the spring phytoplankton bloom to the northward advance of subarctic species and the northward retreat of arctic species.

Q: UI-Router not interpreted, ui-sref not generating href I'm doing a project with Angular/Express and UI-router to manage my routes.
I did configure properly my $states, i did include angular and UI-router library to my HTML file, angular is working but links are not generated with UI-router i still only get My Link.
Here is my code:
My app.js file:

Stylist's pick of the best cowboy boots this winter.
The western-inspired trend first kicked off during the summer months – with prairie dresses and fringing cropping up everywhere. Fast forward to winter, and we're still championing it now.
For the colder months though, the trend has exploded with embroidery, double denim, suede and leather jackets, mid length printed dresses. And, of course, cowboy boots as seen at Fendi, Isabel Marant, Calvin Klein 205W39NYC and Tibi.
But if you're feeling cautious then we've got your covered: either pair yours with tucked in jeans, cropped jeans or the ever faithful midi dress.


This morning we have the opportunity to take a look at the latest forecasts of the European Central Bank. After a frankly rather turgid opening it tells us this.
The euro area economic expansion remains solid and broad-based across countries and sectors, despite recent weaker than expected data and indicators.
The broad-based part rather echoed the words of its President Mario Draghi in April except the direction of travel was somewhat different.
When we look at the indicators that showed significant, sharp declines, we see that, first of all, the fact that all countries reported means that this loss of momentum is pretty broad across countries. It's also broad across sectors because when we look at the indicators, it's both hard and soft survey-based indicators.
Actually very quickly today's ECB version seems not quite so sure as it covers nearly all the possible bases.
The latest economic indicators and survey results are weaker, but remain consistent with ongoing solid and broad-based economic growth.
Having discussed how much central banks love wealth effects this week several times already it would be remiss of me not to point out these bits.
Private consumption is supported by ongoing employment gains, which, in turn, partly reflect past labour market reforms, and by growing household wealth. ………Housing investment remains robust.
Moving onto the numbers here are the specific forecasts.
The June 2018 Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area foresee annual real GDP increasing by 2.1% in 2018, 1.9% in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020.
So a bit lower for this year. So in essence the first quarter of 2018 was the template for the rest of the year. The ECB will have its fingers crossed about this on two counts. The first comes from the reality of this.
the Governing Council will continue to make net purchases under the APP at the current monthly pace of €30 billion until the end of September 2018. The Governing Council anticipates that, after September 2018, subject to incoming data confirming its medium-term inflation outlook, it will reduce the monthly pace of the net asset purchases to €15 billion until the end of December 2018 and then end net purchases.
It will fear criticism of this should the economy slow. My critique is deeper as we mull how much of the recent better economic times for the Euro area has been driven by the extraordinary monetary policy of nearly 2 trillion Euros of government bond purchases and negative interest-rates? The irony is that the more successful the ECB has been the deeper the hole it is in. The situation is even worse if you think that the side-effects of this may reduce longer-term growth prospects for example by continuing to prop up what are zombie banks.
Did I mention zombie banks?
Some of the new fears may have been driven by the mention of £29 trillion of derivatives being dependent on Brexit by Bank of England Governor Carney yesterday. After all the fact your own derivative book has been rumoured to be twice that size will hardly calm worries about this area.
Then there are the issues highlighted by Fitch Ratings a week ago.
Deutsche Bank's ratings and the Negative Outlook reflect Fitch's view that the bank faces substantial execution risk in its restructuring, which aims to strengthen its business model, stabilise earnings and further strengthen risk controls.
There have to be questions based around the fact that the domestic market situation as in the German economy has been strong so why is Deutsche Bank suffering? With house prices growing at an annual rate of around 4% you would think if you look at the story for the German and indeed Euro area economy that DB should be blooming. But instead it is struggling yet again.
If we move to its bonds which are used as capital or CoCo's there has been a clear change this year. The 6% coupon one was yielding 4.4% in early February as opposed to the 9.7% today. Still less that early 2016 but of course then the economic outlook was different.
The story here has been changing as highlighted by this earlier from @LiveSquawk .
This is one of the higher numbers but there have been other rises around such as the one in Italy rising to 1.5%. Whilst the detail is for Italy's own inflation measure it does highlight the main player here.
The acceleration of the growth on annual basis of All items index was mainly due to prices of Non-regulated energy products (from +5.3% to +9.4%).
So the ECB has what it wants with inflation until you look at the detail. That tells us that as we have discussed many times QE has had a surprisingly low impact on inflation over time ( partly because asset prices are omitted) but the oil price is invariably a major player. Right now with the oil price above US $77 for a barrel of Brent Crude and the Euro below 1.16 versus the US Dollar the heat is on in this respect. This hurts the Euro area economy via real wages and also because it is an energy importer. If this has you confused then simply forecast that inflation will be the same.
This assessment is also broadly reflected in the June 2018 Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area, which foresee annual HICP inflation at 1.7% in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Also German inflation prospects will be helped by this.
Here there is a little cheer as the ECB went to press with the state of play being this.
The monetary analysis showed broad money growth gradually declining in the context of reduced monthly net asset purchases, with an annual rate of growth of M3 at 3.9% in April 2018, after 3.7% in March and 4.3% in February.
Whereas yesterday at least in nominal terms things were a little better.
The rub comes when you start to allow for inflation.
The recent period has been one where the ECB and in particular its President Mario Draghi has been able to portray it/himself as a "master of the universe". The fall in oil prices lead to lower inflation meaning it had an opportunity to push the monetary pedal to the metal whilst claiming it was simply trying to hit its target. Of course this made it extremely popular with politicians as their borrowing costs fell and the economic outlook changed. Sticking with the politicians theme though the clouds gather. As the appointment of the Spanish politician and former minister Luis de Guindos begs various questions. For a start the claim of "political independence" and I do not mean parties here I mean the political class resuming control of monetary policy. Next is the issue of skills and competence which was highlighted when at the most recent press conference President Draghi pointed out they have not found any specific roles for him yet.
Now we enter a more difficult phase as for example being a banking regulator made not be fun if DB continues to weaken or the Italians continue to interpret the rules for their own banks. Next comes the issue of the economic situation which is summed up below I think.
So the outlook is so bright they can only raise interest-rates by 0.1% in 18 months or so? Also there is the implied insanity that changing interest-rates by 0.1% achieves anything apart from employment for a few sign writers.

"One good mentor can be more informative than a college education and more valuable than a decade's income." When starting any new career, one important asset to have is someone showing you the ropes. Whether it is introducing you to your new colleagues or helping you to learn the style of your new business; No matter what, a mentor or manager will always be there to help you along.
Starting a new job is always difficult because you have no idea what to expect. When you're an intern, it is especially difficult because you want to make a good impression and stand out. Without any direct support, how would you accomplish that? You wouldn't – that is why every Summer Associate has a manager and a mentor!
However, a manager should do more than just be willing to answer your questions; they should be willing to push you and help show your true potential. An internship with UPMC isn't one where you fetch coffee and print documents every day. Here you have real projects and real deadlines. Your manager will give you a project that might be something you have never done before, but that is only because they believe you can handle it. And nine out of ten times you can, especially when you ask questions. Mandie often gave me projects that were pretty important and I was able to complete those by asking questions when I was confused. She was never unwilling to help!
Managers are also here to help further you along in your career. You can learn a lot by sitting down with your manager and just asking them how they ended up where they are now. Most of the time those stories involved one or two bumps in the road but they still ended up pretty well off. Having the experience they do, they are willing to help you avoid some of those career obstacles. You can sit down with them to revamp your resume, LinkedIn, or your portfolio. All you need to do is ask!
I couldn't have asked for a better manager than Mandie. She was willing to answer any questions I had throughout the summer and never hesitated to give me more work when I asked for it. She gave me more responsibility and advice than I was expecting to get as a Summer Associate. A relationship with your manager can last longer than just your summer at UPMC, if you keep in touch. You never know, maybe one day they will be able to help you get your dream job at UPMC!

Fully Funded PhD Programs in Neuroscience
Jul 19, 2017 • Views 26,557
PhD students in Neuroscience at Brown University receive a full tuition scholarship and annual stipend.
As part of my series on How to Fully Fund Your PhD, I provide a list of universities that offer full funding for a PhD in Neuroscience. Neuroscience is the study of the structure or function of the nervous system and brain. A PhD in neuroscience can prepare you for an academic career in teaching or research, or for a non-academic career in pharmaceutical and biotech companies, scientific consulting firms, medical and scientific journals, law firms dealing in intellectual property, science-focused nonprofit organizations and foundations, government agencies, and venture capital firms.
"Full funding" is a financial aid package for full time students that includes full tuition remission and an annual stipend or salary for the three to six-year duration of the student's doctoral studies. Funding is typically offered in exchange for graduate teaching and research work that is complementary to your studies. Not all universities provide full funding to their doctoral students, which is why I recommend researching the financial aid offerings of all the potential PhD programs in your academic field, including small and lesser-known schools both in the U.S. and abroad.
You can also find several external fellowships in the ProFellow database for graduate and doctoral study, as well as dissertation research, field work, language study and summer work experience.
Brown University, Department of Biology and Medicine (Providence, RI): Full funding via fellowship, teaching assistantship and research assistantship is available for those admitted to the PhD program.
Harvard University, Department of Medicine (Cambridge, MA): All Program in Neuroscience students (both domestic and international) receive full funding for the duration of their enrollment. Funding includes full tuition and fees, health insurance, and a stipend for living expenses. (For the fiscal year starting July 1, 2018, the stipend is $38,376/year.)
Georgetown University, Department of Neuroscience (Washington, DC): The Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience provides competitive stipend support and health insurance benefits for all qualified students. Full tuition is also paid by the program.
UC San Diego, Department of Neuroscience (San Diego, CA): The first year of student funding is provided by the Neurosciences Graduate Program. This includes full payment of tuition and fees and a stipend of $34,000/year for 2018-19. Beginning Fall Quarter of the second year, your thesis advisor assumes responsibility for providing full financial support.
Stanford University, School of Medicine (Stanford, CA): Students are fully funded for their entire course of study and receive a stipend of $33,172 per year.
Boston University, School of Medicine (Boston, MA): For the first year, most PhD students will either be funded by an early stage T32 neuroscience training grant or by the University. After the first year of coursework and laboratory rotations, students join a lab and are typically funded by that lab, or by an individual training grant, until completion of their degree.
Ohio State University, College of Arts and Sciences (Columbus, OH): As a student in the Neuroscience Graduate Program you will receive funding as a Graduate Research Associate or a Graduate Fellow and receive full payment of tuition, health insurance and an annual stipend of $27,576.

Alaska couple admits to plot to kill federal judge and others
Reuters on August 28, 2012 released the following:
"By Yereth Rosen
(Reuters) – An Alaska couple pleaded guilty on Monday to charges of conspiring to kill a federal judge in what prosecutors said was a revenge plot over income-tax rulings against them.
Lonnie and Karen Vernon, followers of jailed Alaska militia leader Schaeffer Cox, reached a deal with prosecutors to avoid the need for a trial that had been set to begin next month.
The Vernons and Cox were active in the "sovereign citizen" movement, whose adherents believe individuals are sovereign nations and federal, state and local laws do not apply to them.
The Vernons each entered a guilty plea to a single count of conspiracy to commit murder for their plan to kill Alaska-based U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline, who presided over a federal income tax case that ultimately cost the couple their home.
The Vernons also admitted in their plea agreement to planning to kill an Internal Revenue Service official and Beistline's daughter and grandchildren.
The Vernons bought a silencer-equipped pistol and grenades in March 2011 and told the seller of the weapons about their intentions, according to the plea agreement. But the seller turned out to be a confidential government informant, and the Vernons were arrested immediately after the transaction took place.
Despite entering his guilty plea, Lonnie Vernon disrupted Monday's court proceedings with a number of defiant outbursts.
"If I'm accused of doing anything, I'm accused of freely exercising my First Amendment rights to the max," he told Judge Robert Bryan, who was brought in from Tacoma, Washington, to preside over the case.
But Bryan told the defendant that he and others with similar political views are mistaken about their responsibilities to obey the law. "You can't decide, on your own, that you won't be part of what the government rules are," Bryan said.
In exchange for the guilty pleas, prosecutors agreed to drop related charges concerning murder threats and illegal weapons, according to the agreement filed on Monday.
Under the plea deal, Lonnie Vernon, 56, faces a prison term of 21 to 27 years when the couple is sentenced on November 14.
Agreement on a specific sentence for Karen Vernon, 66, was not reached, but prosecutors pledged to recommend a sentence of no longer than 15 years and eight months.
Lonnie Vernon also was a top officer in an organization called the Alaska Peacekeepers Militia, founded and led by Cox, 28.
In a separate case, Cox and Lonnie Vernon were convicted in June of conspiring to murder federal and state government officials and of acquiring illegal weapons to use against their targets. Karen Vernon was not a defendant in that case.
Sentencing for Cox and Lonnie Vernon on the militia-conspiracy case is set for September 14. Both men, along with Karen Vernon, have been jailed since they were arrested last year."

Despite his having written an entire biography of Paul in Acts, Luke seems to be curiously unaware of Paul's life and ministry as reflected in Paul's authentic letters. None of Paul's letters are mentioned in Acts. The language and theology of Paul's speeches as told by Luke are so different in vocabulary and theology from the Paul of the authentic letters that it seems much of Luke's Paul can be chalked up to dramatic license. The authentic Paul emphasizes justification and reconciliation while Luke's "Paul" preaches righteousness and forgiveness. In other words, Luke's Paul preaches in the theological language of Luke, not Paul.
Even after all these years of being a follower of Jesus I am still constantly studying the Bible for new revelations in my life. As someone in the Bible said the words found there are useful for teaching and understanding. If only those who put so much emphasis on trying to prove that the Bible is without error and totally God breathed spent time instead trying to learn lessons about Jesus. I have adamantly come to believe that the Bible is a compilation of stories about God. It is not God nor did He dictate all of its words.
When we accept that the stories in the Bible were written by well meaning men, and maybe even a few women, we can see things as cited above. We can then understand that maybe Paul's letters were just not deemed of great importance at the time. Maybe they were just that, letters to council some troubled congregations and were not necessarily meant for eternity. Why do the stories of Paul differ so completely from the letters Paul allegedly wrote? The only logical and reasoned conclusion is that both the letters and what came to be known as the Book of Acts were written by men and maybe they are not even written by or about the persons we currently ascribe them to. That fact does not destroy or even reduce their usefulness to us.
For many religious people, it takes some serious readjustment to change those theological underpinnings and recast Christianity as something fluid. Some are too controlled by fear—of change, of uncertainty, of being called heretical—to make the shift. They keep trying, desperately, to hold on to old conceptions as if their eternal life depended on it. But there are alternatives.

Those numbers will come as no surprise to you or me, and probably as no surprise to lefties either. But they may come as a surprise to the media, which seems to be all-in on the theory that the Parkland students are leading a national popular awakening to the evils of guns and changing the politics of the issue forever.
Could be. We can't assume too much about national opinion from the composition of a march, which will always draw more activists than regular voters. But here's one data point about whether Something Has Changed: The marchers as a whole didn't look like America and they weren't all that focused on gun control.
Check my math, but between the new protesters and the experienced protesters, it looks like a shade under 50 percent claimed to have showed up for gun control. This was, in other words, as much a "Resistance" march as it was about guns. (Dana Fisher, the sociology professor who surveyed the marchers, is writing a book called "American Resistance," go figure.) New protesters were particularly disinterested in gun issues, comparatively speaking: 56 percent of them said they showed up for "peace" and 42 percent claimed they were there to protest POTUS. For many newbies, this was more about being anti-Trump than about being anti-gun.
And just 10 percent were under 18, according to Fisher, another counterpoint to the media narrative that the Parkland students are leading an uprising of kids to do what liberal adults have tried and failed to do for decades. In fact, not only were the marchers not young, they were unusually old with an average just short of 49, which Fisher claims is higher than the average at most rallies she's measured. The marchers were also overwhelmingly female at 70 percent and well educated, with 72 percent having a B.A. It was, in other words, on average a march by middle-aged professional women. That's an important voter bloc but not a mirror held up to the electorate's face.
[R]eports from the Federal Election Commission show donations to the NRA's Political Victory Fund tripled from January to February.
Since the Parkland shooting happened in the middle of the month, one could argue the relationship between it and the spike in donations is hard to prove.
However, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending, tracked itemized contributions (donations of $200 or more by an individual) in the days before and after the shooting. According to their data, in the two weeks after the shooting, itemized contributions to the NRA doubled from the previous two weeks.
Here again you can't extrapolate too much from a single data point. Gun-rights supporters always double down after a mass shooting for fear that the anti-gun backlash might just succeed this time and turn into new state or federal regulations. Gotta buy those guns while you still can. This time is noteworthy, though, because Republicans control Congress and the White House, leaving the risk of a new federal "assault weapons" ban anytime soon at precisely zero. If there's no near-term threat of losing your guns, why plow money into the NRA to protect them?
I think it's because gun-rights supporters feel attacked and scapegoated to an unusual degree since the Parkland shooting. The NRA is always the evil mastermind in lefty narratives after mass shootings but some of the rhetoric, including and especially from the Parkland students themselves, has laid the blame for the murders directly on the organization and, by extension, its supporters. According to David Hogg, Marco Rubio's original political sin is accepting money from the NRA; no amount of legislation he proposes now can atone for that. Rubio was explicitly compared to the Parkland shooter himself at that town hall/lynch mob CNN hosted, again because of his relationship with the organization. How can you watch that as a gun-rights supporter and not take offense at the suggestion that if you support a lobby group for gun rights for law-abiding people you have the blood of children on your filthy hands? What else can you do when you're told that you're a "bad guy" for objecting to being called a baby-killer by a teenager? Of course many are going to show solidarity by donating to the NRA.
Anyway. Whether or not the new gun-control push fizzles like every other gun-control push in the last 20 years, CNN will always have this. Total pwnage.

When you travel from Brighton to Hastings, you will find the historic town of Eastbourne waiting, invitingly, for your visit. After the railway arrived in 1849, the town turned into a seaside resort and has stayed that way ever since, although there is a lot more to Eastbourne than the beaches. The pier, built way back in 1865, is still a major attractive to both locals and visitors. Roman remains are regularly found in and under the town, such is the long history of the area. It suffered badly during the Second World War with the Navy and the Air Force taking over the town as people relocated to safer areas.
Contemporary Eastbourne has a wonderful climate and a front seaside line of mostly Victorian hotels, leading the town to be the focal point for a number of major films, including Notes on A Scandal and Half a Sixpence.
Our Eastbourne staff will always try to help you with the difficult parts of the paperwork. They will help you with completing the DVLA forms and let you have a COD – the Certificate of Destruction – after scrapping a car.
