Q: a "List of Favorites" in android - re-change the rating bar I would like to make a list of favorites in my app.
I am using arrayadapter.
I have a string, and a rating bar, of one star only!
I want that if you press the star once, it lights the star (and make it favorite)
and when you press it again, the star isnt filled... (and now its not favorite anymore)
what should I write here? and is it even correct this if quesion?
public class ChooseFavorites extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener
{
    String[] stations;
    float[] rating;
    boolean[] ifCheacked;
    RatingAdapter ratingAdapter;

ArrayAdapter<String> arr;
ListView list;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_choose_favorites);
    stations =  getResources().getStringArray(R.array.stations);
    rating = new float[stations.length];
    ifCheacked = new boolean[stations.length];
    Arrays.fill(ifCheacked, false);
    ratingAdapter = new RatingAdapter(this, R.layout.favorite_row, stations);
    list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.stationsList1);
    list.setAdapter(ratingAdapter);
    list.setOnItemClickListener(this);

}

class RatingAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
    Context ctx;
    LayoutInflater inflater;
    TextView stationName;
    RatingBar star;

    public RatingAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects)
    {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
        ctx = context;
        inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    }

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
    View row = convertView;
    if(row==null)
    { // Object reuse
        inflater = getLayoutInflater();
        row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.favorite_row, parent, false);
    }
    stationName = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.textFavoriteItemInRow);
    stationName.setText(stations[position]);
    star= (RatingBar)row.findViewById(R.id.ratingBar1);
    if (!ifCheacked[position]) //ifChecked is false
    {
        star.setRating(rating[position]);
        star.setTag(position);
        ifCheacked[position] = true;
    }
    else
    {

    }
    star.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(new RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener()
    {
        public void onRatingChanged(RatingBar ratingBar, float rating2, boolean fromUser)
        {
            if(!fromUser) return;
            int index = (Integer)(ratingBar.getTag());
            rating[index] = rating2;
        }
    });
    return row;
}

    }

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
}

A: Probably you should not use a RatingBar, but a CheckBox instead. I'm using the CheckBox in one of my apps exactly as you would need it.
Basically what you've need to do is the following:
In your res\drawable\ folder, define a new layout file, suppose you call it checkboxes.xml.
In that file, you would define something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_star_down" />
  <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_star" />
</selector>

In my case, both drawables are two JPG images, one with the star shining and one turned off.
Now in your row layout, define the CheckBox instead your RatingBar, with something like this:
<CheckBox
   android:id="@+id/soloR"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_weight="0.6"
   android:onClick="somethingChanged"
   android:textSize="12sp"
   android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
   android:button="@drawable/checkboxes"
   android:text="@string/soloR" />

Nice, you might probably seen the android:button property set to that checkboxes you just defined. Once done that, remove your star.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(new RatingBar.OnRatingBarChangeListener() ... implementation, and replace it by:
onCheckedChangeListener (CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener listener)

The listener of onCheckedChanged provides two parameters: CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked.
Basically, the second one tells you whether your star is shining or not. The rest of your code seems generally to be reasonable but:

*

*I wouldn't do the row = convertView assignation. That's a practice I've seen a lot of times and it makes no sense, work directly on the convertView instance.

*I don't know how many rows are you working within your ListView, but if they are too much or they're hard to render, I'd consider using viewHolders. If you haven't worked with them, here's a nice link which explains this greatly.

*I see you're using findViewById() on each row. That might lead to huge performance problems, as this call is highly expensive. I'd save both drawables (assuming your star may just have 2 stated) within your class and assign them in the constructor, so you process them just for once - or as I said previously, use viewHolders for this.

*Keep in mind one thing: If you don't save the state of your changes, once your row "disappears" from the screen (because the user is scrolling within the list, for instance) and the row is newly rendered, you will see the previous state - i.e., the changes won't be saved. For that purpose, it's very important you handle your data within your ArrayAdapter extension, each time the user clicks the star, save its state in your class. I'm meaning the third of your constructor parameters: public RatingAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects). Now you just call super on it, but you don't save it. Keep in mind that this is your working data, any change should be reflected in that Object array, otherwise each time you'll render your rows, changes won't be saved. For instance:
class RatingAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
    Context ctx;
    LayoutInflater inflater;
    TextView stationName;
    RatingBar star;
    ArrayMap<String, Boolean> rowLayout = ArrayMap<String, Boolean>();

    public RatingAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects)
    {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
        ctx = context;
        inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);

        for (String rowText : (String) objects)
          rowLayout.put(rowText, false);  // Supposing all your initial stars will be off
    }

Now all you have to do is to synchronize your getView() method to tell Android how it should be managed. For instance, if the value is false, put the off-star - else, put the shining star, etc.
---- EDIT ----
On how to keep track of the changes: I don't know whether you finally decided using viewHolders, so I'm going just illustrate the global case.
Everything that changes and you want to keep tracking of should be done within your getView() method. In that method, see that the second parameter is a View called convertView. Speaking very vaguely, this is the layout of every row, i.e., all the content of each row is contained in each convertView. So basically, getView() will be called at least once for every row.
Suppose you have a layout where you have a CheckBox whose id is lvCheckBox and a TextView whose id is lvTextView. You can get efficiently any of them by calling, for instance:
TextView tv = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.lvTextView);

Any listener should also be defined within your getView() method (as already does). From your code you seem to already be clear about things up until now.
Now, how to manage changes: Having in consideration that you need to implement what I formerly posted you about storing a data structure within your ArrayList extension, there are 3 concepts you should be aware of:

*

*position: The first of the arguments of getView() is the position of the item that was called for render. But also note that as you defined your listeners within your getView() method, you may also access this parameter and this is crucial.

*getItem(position): getItem() is a method from the ArrayAdapter class, which returns an item from the list. Calling this on position will return the item being rendered. It returns the type your ArrayAdapter is, so if you have Strings, you'll get String.

*notifyDataSetChanged(). You have to call this method on your adapter each time the data set changes. The ideal way is doing that within the calling Fragment/Activity, but if you can't (for instance, because you don't know when will it be fired (listeners)), you can get the adapter within your listener and call this method within your listener, this way:
final ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.your_listview));
RatingAdapter adapter = (RatingAdapter) lv.getAdapter();
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Knowing all that, there's just one step left: Remove the item from your ArrayAdapter's dataset copy, you'll know it using getItem(position) and call notifyDataSetChanged() on your adapter - from inside if you need to fire it within itself or from your Fragment/Activity otherwise.
The other (probably easier) way is to call .add or .del on your Adapter within your Fragment/Activity, and call notifyDataSetChanged() on it. This is however not always possible.
For instance, I have a ListView with customized layout. This is how I declare it:
private ArrayList<String> elemlist;
elemlist.add("First row");
elemlist.add("Second one");

MultiLayoutArrayAdapter adapter = new MultiLayoutArrayAdapter(MyActivity.this, R.layout.my_custom_layout, elemlist);

I call this within my Activity:
elemlist.add("Yet another row");
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

This would appear my row. But sometimes you don't want just to add or delete, but modify: and that's your case (a CheckBox listening to be clicked), so that's when the above comes into action. You'll have to modify the list of items using getItem(position) and removing it from your rowLayout structure, and call notifyDataSetChanged() afterwards from within your onCheckedChangeListener().

A: you can done this by checkbox. set two images oncheck(setimage(High lighted star)) and uncheck(setimage(undo image)).
CheckBox fav;
boolean isCheck=false;

if(!isCheck){
fav.setChecked(true);
                    checked.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.blue_star);
                }else{

                    fav.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.grey_star);

        fav.setChecked(false);
                }

Jose Mourinho warned Man United star is 'very poor'
The Manchester United manager is warned that Matteo Darmian is a very poor defender

Kevin Kilbane has warned Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho that Matteo Darmian is a very poor player.
The Italy international was linked with a potential return to Serie A in the current transfer window.
Darmian struggled to hold down a starting spot in the Manchester United team following competition from Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw and Daley Blind.
The Red Devils have signed Diogo Dalot in a £17m deal from Portuguese outfit FC Porto at the start of the summer transfer window.
Darmian started their opening Premier League game of the 2018-19 season as Manchester United eased to a 2-1 win over Leicester City.
Former Everton and Irish full-back Kilbane isn't a big fan of the Italian defender.
"Darmian is a poor player," Kilbane told Irish radio station Newstalk. "He is a very poor player.
"Someone said he was the next Denis Irwin when they signed him. I almost laughed. He is not good enough."
Manchester United finished in second place in the Premier League table last term to secure their best return since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
The Red Devils ended up 19 points adrift of champions Manchester City to highlight the gap between the two derby rivals.
Manchester United managed to finish above Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC in the top-four race.

Now is the perfect time for organizations to bring executive search capability in-house. While the business case for this strategic shift has been clear for some time, ongoing cost-containment efforts combined with increasing demand for strategic staffing make now the perfect time to execute the shift and build out the tools/approaches needed.
In many organizations, executive search fees consume double-digit portions of the recruiting budget, yet produce results only 45% of the time. Few budget items are more costly and ineffective, but the motivations behind this shift are not solely monetary. Executing executive searches internally dramatically increases the business impact of the talent acquisition function and raises the visibility of talent acquisition as a key contributor to business performance significantly.
After all, what else in recruiting could possibly impact business results more than bringing in a high-quality, innovative executive capable of delivering market-changing increases in efficiency and effectiveness?
The increase in "face time" between talent acquisition and the executive committee further increases the function's ability to sell the vision of the organization and sustain operations when budgets get tight. In the following section, you will find numerous arguments supporting the shift.
When you add up all the positive benefits, it's hard to argue that there will be a better time to explore this strategic move.
Many organizations have time to focus on building new initiatives. Cost-containment efforts and hiring freezes coupled with reluctance by organizations to eliminate their talent acquisition functions have contributed to a situation where many recruiters are on the payroll but working on many non-recruiting related activities. As hiring volumes are not likely to increase dramatically for at least 8 to 12 months, many organizations have the time to plan and build a robust executive search function internally.
Available executive recruiters with proven track records. Executive recruiters are in a different league than most corporate recruiters. The great ones often know more about their client organizations than the senior-most HR leader and are viewed by candidates and executives just as much as coaches as they are recruiters. As the economics of third-party search models continues to erode, a significant number of recruiters with proven track records could be enticed to join an organization.
Executive search openings will become frequent. Historically, the demand for external executives was sporadic, a condition that contributed to a strong argument against building executive search capability in-house. However, increased volatility in global markets, double-digit growth in emerging markets, changing workforce demographics, increasing rates of knowledge obsolescence, and years of pent-up frustration among executives chained to jobs that no longer motivate due to economic conditions will drive a significant increase in the demand for external executive hires as turnover skyrockets. Left unmitigated, the demand for external assistance in recruiting organizational leaders could chew up a majority of existing talent-acquisition budgets.
In recent years, the Internet has brought a phenomenal amount of transparency to labor markets around the globe. That transparency has enabled many innovative recruiters to gain access to a wide range of cheap but effective recruiting tools that render closed databases of candidates such as those maintained by third-party agencies much less valuable.
Finding executive prospects is now much easier. Finding the names of potential candidates is no longer a challenge. A majority, if not all, of the most visible leaders in an organization are visible externally both on user-maintained websites like LinkedIn and other white collar social networks and system maintained databases like ZoomInfo and Jigsaw. Even the corporate homepage of individual firms now list their executives. In addition, most executives in public companies receive stock as part of their compensation, making it easy to find their name and job title in financial disclosures required by the SEC.
Building relationships with prospects is easier. Executive recruiters are masters when it comes to building relationships, the key to which is not trading solely on the value of a job opportunity to a candidate. Great executive recruiters use competitive intelligence so that they can deliver value to a candidate during each and every interaction, be it via email, phone call, or face-to-face meeting. Social media tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning, and Twitter, combined with CRM methodologies, make sustaining longer-term relationships with larger masses of professionals much easier. In many respects, these tools have brought executive recruiter type "tickler files" out into the public.
Search firms aren't as strong. If you read the business news, you already know that executive search firms have been going through a great deal of turmoil themselves in the past few years. As a result, many have built sourcing functions offshore, shed high-cost relationship builders, and replaced knowledgeable account executives with younger, more sales-oriented professionals who know little about the nuances that characterize an industry. They have added other value-add services to help defray the impact from declining search revenues. Combined, all of these factors result in former powerhouse agencies producing results that most corporate functions can match or exceed at a fraction of the cost.
If you decide to begin a formal assessment as to whether or not it's a good idea to build an internal executive search function, start with a simple "business case" checklist of factors that can impact organizations, including the benefits and opportunities that accrue to organizations executing executive search in-house and the problems that can occur when using executive search firms.
Increased sales, partnership, and CI opportunities. No firm wants to lose sales and partnership opportunities. Recruiting for executives requires you to "sell" a large number of influential executives inside and outside your industry on the value of your firm. When you use external executive search, relationships "belong" to and are retained by the external search firm. However, if your own recruiters build these relationships and sell your firm effectively, it's possible that a significant number of those candidates not hired will hold a more positive image of your firm, and as a result may consider becoming a customer or strategic partner with your firm. The benchmarking and candidate assessment work that is now done by your own recruiters might also yield competitive intelligence that can be used to benefit your firm. The dollar value of this benchmark information and potential sales and partnership opportunities need to be added to the positive ROI of an internal function.
An opportunity to build a competitive advantage. All high-impact business functions need to provide their firm with a distinct competitive advantage. When you develop your own search function, you have the opportunity to build a truly modern, technology-driven global function that could provide your firm with a distinct competitive advantage. Search firms are generally forced to offer the same services to all clients, so using them seldom provides a major competitive advantage.
Internal recruiters know your firm. In the past, one of the advantages of search firms was that over time, they got to know your firm, its needs, and its culture. Unfortunately, the downturn has dramatically changed how many third-party search providers operate, reducing their ability to be as knowledgeable as they once were. In addition, in the fast-moving world of business, it is nearly impossible for any outsider to keep up with changes in organizational needs.
Referral programs can produce amazing results. Traditionalemployee referral programs routinely produce hires who are better performers and have higher retention rates. Referrals produce these results because top-performing employees tend to know a high percentage of the harder-to-find, "not actively looking," currently employed top performers. Referrals also work because colleagues are often more willing to talk to their peers at other firms about opportunities, than to recruiters of any type. Although it's a surprise to some, referral programs focused on executives can have even more dramatic results, in part because executives have much broader networks than the average employee. As a result, specially designed executive referral programs can produce amazing results without the need to pay a referral fee (many such programs donate a reward to a charity of the executive's choosing).
A chance to build up HR's image. Using external search firms for the most critical jobs further reinforces an already weak HR image that they can't handle the really tough, high-risk assignments. Stepping forward and becoming accountable for the most visible and high-impact recruiting jobs provides HR with an opportunity to build its internal brand image. If HR wants to increase its visibility and impact, it must change its focus toward recruiting at the top of the organization and outsource recruiting at the bottom, rather than vice versa.
Using executive search might increase your turnover. Research at one major firm revealed that individuals hired through executive search firms have a higher turnover rate than executives recruited by their own internal recruiters (possibly because search firms naturally attract "actives" that are more interested in continuous opportunity and their career than in building a legacy at any one firm). In addition, exposing your executives to executive recruiters might have a separate set of turnover consequences, even though no ethical firm would use the relationships they build with your own firm's executives during a current search to recruit them away.
An increased chance that the hire will be a bad "fit". During all searches, the longer the recruiter is in direct contact with a prospect, the better they will get to know them. This longer relationship makes for a more accurate assessment and a better fit. On the contrary, if you only see the outside candidates in one or two interviews toward the end of the recruiting process, the chances of making a major hiring error increase dramatically. With an internal function, all of that "assessment time" is owned by people living in your culture, thus improving your chances of hiring someone that fits.
Losing candidates you never see. External recruiters create an initial list of qualified candidates that you never see, and they do 100% of the "selling" to those on that initial list. Because you're not involved in any aspect of this initial selling, you can never know whether you are losing great candidates because these external recruiters are doing a bad job selling.
"Bidding" for candidates is expensive. It's only natural that large executive search firms "shop" top candidates to many different clients. This exposure to many potential clients allows their top candidates to be bid on, like highly valuable auction goods. This competitive process gives their candidates an opportunity to accept a much higher monetary offer, which simultaneously increases the search firm's income. This means you will pay significantly more for candidates who are externally bid on. In contrast,passive candidates you directly source might only be interested in your firm, and may be up to 25% cheaper than high-demand executive-search candidates.
Avoid restrictions on candidate availability. Search firms often have agreements not to recruit from their clients. This might seem to be a benefit on the surface, but it also means that large executive search firms with many clients in an industry will have a smaller candidate pool to offer you because they can't include employees from their current clients. Even though these individuals might be willing to change firms, you'll never know it because no one will tell you about these restrictions. Internal search allows you to recruit from literally every firm (perhaps with the exception of major customers) and thus it automatically provides you with a broader talent pool.
Performance issues. Failing to fill all of your open positions is a potential problem with retained firms. As a result, you need to do your research to make sure that the percentage of "unfilled searches" by your retained firm isn't notably higher than it would be if you were to use internal search. A similar comparison needs to be done for "time to fill," because external firms can be slower. The last but most important factor to compare is the performance of the hire (on-the-job performance and retention rates). One major corporation that did this external/internal comparison found no performance improvement, slower hiring, and significantly higher costs from external search.
Absence of performance metrics. If your CFO or CEO demands every process have performance metrics, you're probably going to have to develop them yourselves. In my experience, external search firms are notoriously bad at providing business-impact metrics. If you don't believe me, search their website and invariably you will find numerous "word arguments" but not a single quantified result or dollar impact.
New clients may occasionally get a preference. Firms that are desperate for attracting new clients may steer their very best candidates toward those clients with whom they hope to sign new contracts. If you're a long-term client, you have to include that risk as part of the equation.
You may select the wrong firm. Unfortunately, there is a wide variation in the "quality of service" delivered by search firms. If your vendor assessment process is inaccurate, you could be stuck with a weak firm. In contrast, if you build your own internal function yourself, you have more assurance that you will have an excellent team.
Next week I'll expand on this topic with an article that focuses on developing a plan to bring executive search inside. If your organization has done this and you have lessons that you would like to share with your colleagues, please feel free to send me a note via email and I'll make sure your learnings are incorporated.

Teachers can use iPads and presentation apps such as Explain Everything or Keynote in their math classrooms to encourage students to apply mathematical concepts to real world examples. By creating presentations on their iPads, as shown in this activity (in which students construct mathematical proofs), students play the role of teacher, explaining what they have learned through their own research into math and its application in the real world.
Demonstrate mathematical proofs with iPad
Submitted by Dr. Randy Yerrick, professor of science education, State University of New York at Buffalo
Grade level 8th- to 12th-grade math
Objectives Have students demonstrate knowledge of mathematical proofs.
Apps/tools Keynote, Explain Everything app
Materials needed n/a
Following a lesson where math teachers demonstrate the construction of an algebraic or geometric proof, students are given the opportunity to create their own. Using media-based presentations and audio recordings of their own voices, students create and share a narrated slide-show presentation.
Keynote is Apple's presentation app that enables students to build a slide-based presentation with text and media, which they then present live in front of an audience.
The Explain Everything app enables students to build and record a series of narrated slides with picture, text, and media content that explains and demonstrates a concept to an audience. Essentially, once students put the slides in the order they choose, they tap Record and step through their slides, explaining, highlighting with color, and accentuating with the laser pointer feature.
The Record function also enables students to pause or to rerecord their presentation so that they can practice before presenting it to the class.
Explain Everything also includes members' libraries and upload links to such social media sharing sites as Dropbox and Facebook, making student sharing of work easy and manageable.
Students can be given the option of using the preceding apps to explain some of the data that can be retrieved from scientific agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
For example, students might use the latitude and longitude of approaching hurricanes to learn Cartesian coordinates and plot them. Another student might provide an explanation of the calculated arrival time of a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean from an image acquired from the USGS.
If you like, you can have students use apps such as GarageBand or iMovie to collate specific photos they gather into a podcast or movie and explain what they know or how they apply mathematical concepts to examples in the real world.

Home Performing Arts Introducing the Multi-talented Sky Brown
Introducing the Multi-talented Sky Brown
She has endorsed brands with Serena Williams. She has shared stages with icons of Women's sport like Gymnast Gold medallist Simone Biles and Caster Semenya. She has competed in international competitions and won awards in the UK, Estonia, Sweden, and Estonia. She has more than 300,000 followers on Instagram and her videos have been viewed more than 50 million times. And guess what? She also turned 11 this July.
This is Sky Brown, who looks like just another little kid trying to have some fun. Don't get fooled by her innocent looks. There's more to this young girl than what meets the eyes.
There's more to this young girl than what meets the eyes.
Sky Brown is all set to represent the UK Skateboard team in Tokyo 2020 and, if that happens, she would be the youngest ever to participate in 124 years of modern Olympics. If that weren't enough, Sky Brown is an avid surfer and winner of the Dancing with the Stars. Her resume is already very impressive. Besides, she has designed a skateboard to help fund skateboard schools for underprivileged kids in poor countries. So who is this kid that has taken the entire planet by storm?
She has taken the entire planet by storm
It was love at first sight for her, when she saw her father skate. She was just three but immediately picked up the sport and in no time learned the skills and tricks that make the sport fascinating. Along with her father, she was inspired by female skateboarders like Alana Smith. And then, at the age the eight, she participated in Vans US Open Pro Series. No surprise; she was the youngest ever in the competition.
But, the most fascinating part of this kid is that she is no different from other kids of her generation. She has been quoted as saying that she just wants to get out there and have fun. She says she doesn't bother much about whom she is competing with or any such thing. She loves Sia and Nicki Minaj and loves listening to music while practicing.
This cute little girl, who has been interviewed often, says that she wishes to change the entire image of skateboarding. It's not just a boys sport she says and wishes to inspire girls all over the world to take up the sport. She believes girls can do anything, she says, and urges other kids of her age to do it just for fun and not care what people say; exactly what this world needs.
During the finale of Dancing with Stars, Sky and her partner, JT Church, received a perfect score for their performances. People Magazine mentioned that Sky Brown was the embodiment of a young winner. She has a positive desire, lots of talent, and a desire to keep giving her best, the magazine wrote about this young sensation. But it's not only about Skateboarding, Surfing, and Dancing for this young girl, who has now moved from Japan to the UK. She says she wants to do all: to travel, sing, surf, climb, fight and everything else out there.
Skating, according to her father, has never really been about being better than anybody else for the kids. For them, it has just been about having fun, says her father. The sky isn't alone in this; even her brother Ocean, just 7-years-old, can shock you with his skills. The two kids partner for the videos online and it's a treat to see the siblings in action. And, you can see it is all about fun for them. Perhaps this is the attitude that has made Sky reach heights without losing her childhood.
Unlike how the image of success is portrayed where it is all about sacrifice and leaving everything aside, Sky is relaxed in her approach and goes in the other direction. She even said philosophically after her victory, "Be brave, be strong, have fun- and do it because you love it." It's all about doing what she loves for Sky Brown.
This multi-talented kid might soon compete for the Olympics and, when that moment comes, it just won't be only about her. It will be about all those little kids like her all around the world who want to do what they love and have fun.
Sky Brown is the embodiment of this new era and a much-needed inspiration for all the kids who want to do everything they love and just have fun while doing it. She is a precursor of days to come.

OptIng Robotic: New choices in surgery offer some patients a quicker road to recovery
Cynthia Harris struggled for 10 years with problems related to a uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus slips out of place. This caused her to suffer from chronic bladder infections that required her to take antibiotics, but after a while the annoying problem would be back again.
Her urologist advised her that she needed a hysterectomy and repair work on her bladder to resolve the infections, but Cynthia felt anxious about having surgery.
"I had never had surgery for anything in my life," said the 75-year-old Santa Barbara resident. "People told me that I would be laid up for at least six weeks after a surgery like that."
She kept putting off surgery until one day she went to visit Dr. Ralph Quijano, OB/GYN, who told her that there was an alternative to ease her worries.
The surgery she needed could be done with the use of the da Vinci robotic surgical system, which can significantly reduce recovery time and pain.
Cynthia is among the growing number of women who chose to have gynecologic surgery using the da Vinci system at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
Within the past two years, gynecologic surgeries performed with da Vinci have grown dramatically. Six years ago, the majority of da Vinci procedures were performed on men with urologic issues. Over the past year, however, more than 70 percent of da Vinci surgeries at Cottage were done to treat women's health issues.
"Dr. Quijano recommended the da Vinci surgery for me," Cynthia recalls. "He thought it would be my best option."
In the spring of 2012, Dr. Quijano performed a hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy on Cynthia to treat her uterine prolapse.
Traditionally, prolapse surgery has been performed as open surgery which required the surgeon to make a long, horizontal incision in the lower abdomen to access the pelvic organs. Recovery after open surgery is often lengthy. Prolapse surgery can also be performed in a minimally invasive way, with small incisions, using laparoscopic surgery.
But traditional laparoscopy presents challenges because of the long-handled and rigid instruments needed for the procedure.
Dr. Ralph Quijano, who has been doing laparoscopic surgeries for 30 years, started performing da Vinci surgeries in 2011.
"With the da Vinci system, the surgeon has greater control than with laparoscopic surgery," he explained. "The da Vinci also provides a three-dimensional view, so you get depth perception."
Another big plus with da Vinci is that the robotic instrument "functions more like a human wrist in that it can bend the same way," he added.
All of these things make it easier to do the surgery with fewer complications.
This typically results in faster recovery and fewer days spent in the hospital. "With da Vinci, recovery after surgery is about 50 percent faster," Dr. Quijano said.
Cynthia was a great example of the faster recovery time — she was released from the hospital the day after surgery.
"It was a snap," she said. "It was so easy. I even went on a 10-day trip just two weeks after the surgery. I had no bleeding and no pain. I didn't have to take anything like pain medication."
Aside from a few small scars less than an inch long each, Cynthia noticed her belly button was "black and blue" after the surgery. It was a startling, but painless, reminder of her experience.
"I told my grandchildren I had a purple pansy belly button," she laughed. "That bruising went away and the scars are mostly gone now. I would definitely recommend da Vinci surgery. I was thrilled with the results."

The Belgian National Orchestra (, ) is a Belgian orchestra, based in Brussels.  Its principal concert venue is the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts (Bozar).  The orchestra also gives concerts outside of Brussels in such cities as Sankt-Vith and Hasselt.

History
The orchestra was founded in 1931 by Désiré Defauw as the Brussels Symphony Orchestra, and later reorganized in 1936 into its present form. With its base in the Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels and subsidized by the Belgian government, the BNO performs 70 concerts each season in Belgium and abroad, employing 96 musicians. It specializes in the music of the 19th and 20th centuries and film scores. In 2003, contestants in the final round of the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition were accompanied by the orchestra, under the direction of Gilbert Varga.

Prior to the 1958 appointment of André Cluytens as its music director and permanent conductor, the NOB worked with various conductors including Désiré Defauw, Karl Böhm, Erich Kleiber, and Pierre Monteux.  In February 2016, the NOB announced the appointment of Hugh Wolff as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2017–2018 season.  Wolff is scheduled to stand down as chief conductor at the close of the 2021–2022 season, and subsequently to take the title of dirigent emeritus (conductor emeritus) for two seasons.

In June 2019, Antony Hermus first guest-conducted the orchestra.  Hermus returned for an additional guest-conducting appearance in October 2020.  In July 2021, the orchestra announced the appointment of Hermus as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2022–2023 season, with an initial contract of four seasons.  In September 2021, the orchestra announced the appointments of Michael Schønwandt as its new associate conductor, and of Roberto González-Monjas as its new principal guest conductor.

If Siam Sunset is the most Thai place in Thai Town, and it is, then Delicious Food Corner, a breakfast place at the southern edge of Monterey Park, may be the most Hong Kong place in the San Gabriel Valley, which is saying a lot. Dim sum is for tourists, but rice porridge means home. So there are pork chops and eggs, Spam and eggs and rice omelets, brick toast with butter, strong milk tea. But in the morning at least, when waits can stretch for more than an hour on weekends, there is congee mostly — served with fillets of raw fish that poach in the heat of the broth; bouncy meatballs; bits of chicken and preserved egg; super-tenderized beef — which is probably the best in the SGV. With the congee you get fried noodles — no shrimp or anything, just noodles — or beautifully steamed rice noodles wrapped around fried crullers, or maybe both. It's starch on starch on starch with a side of milk coffee, just the thing to launch into the rest of your day. 2327 S. Garfield Ave., Monterey Park, (323) 726-0788.
Diep Tran comes from local Vietnamese restaurant royalty: the family that owns the Pho 79 chain, which has been keeping Southern California in spring rolls and bun since the 1970s. Pho broth runs in her veins. But what her Good Girl Dinette serves is less pure Vietnamese cooking than diner food inflected with Vietnamese flavors, soothing dishes that would be at home in any small town main square — her famous specialty is chicken pot pie. The Good Girl dish called Grandpa's Porridge, a loose, comforting rice porridge laced with ginger, chicken and cilantro, may be vaguely Asian, but always makes me think of needlepoint pillows, rocking chairs and well-worn wooden dining tables. 110 N. Avenue 56, Highland Park, (323) 257-8980, www.goodgirldinette.com.
The last time I stopped in for dim sum at this new seafood palace, related to the equally palatial Happy Harbor in Rowland Heights, I tried to order a bowl of geoduck congee, a specialty that also features on its dinner menu. The thinly sliced longneck clam, boiled to order in specially outfitted carts, features in a lot of dim sum meals in high-end Cantonese restaurants. It seemed like a good call. But I have to commend the waiter — he pointed out that the congee was made with a whole live geoduck, and that I was probably looking at a $150 bowl of porridge. Suddenly, the live lobster congee, on special at $10.50, started to look like a real bargain. And it was delicious. 5729 Rosemead Blvd., Temple City, (626) 280-2998.
When people discuss congee in the San Gabriel Valley, one restaurant that always comes up is Har Lam Kee, a nice Hong Kong-style noodle shop in Monterey Park. But for congee, the call is probably its sister restaurant Harlam's Kitchen, hidden in the back of a Rosemead food court. It's the stall where the people behind the counter are screaming, the dude at the wok is just a few inches from the order window, and the line is intolerably long. But, the congee is magnificent: smooth, brothy and just thick enough; generously laden with fish and such if you get the Lai Wan version, which you probably should; and served perilously close to boiling. The bowls are Styrofoam; the spoons flimsy plastic. And don't forget to grab as much of the splendid chile condiment as they'll let you get away with. 8150 Garvey Ave., Rosemead, (626) 573-3929.
Everybody knows what a Korean hot pot is — it's the honking communal pots of Spam-laced military stew you get at Chunju Han-il Kwan, or maybe at Roy Choi's Pot. Or the potato-pork neck soup you find at Yangji or Ham Ji Park. Or that giant crab pot at Ondal 2. Or the shabu-shabu-like jing-gee skhan at Seoul Garden. Actually, unlike the dozens of same-ish hot pot restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley, there may be no consensus. So the newish Park's Hot Pot restaurant, run by the same people who own Park's Barbecue, might as well be the template for Korean hot pot: like Japanese shabu-shabu with high-quality beef, the kind of neatly bisected broth pots — spicy/less spicy — you find in the Chinese places, and some of the best banchan, free small dishes, in Koreatown. And along with the usual tofu, mushrooms and cabbage to simmer with your meat, you can stir in hand-torn sujebi dumplings or the Korean herb ggaenip. What does this have to do with congee? When you're finished cooking your meat and vegetables in the hot broth, a waiter stirs rice into the enhanced liquid, adds seaweed and sesame oil, and leaves you with a delicious pot of porridge to eat as a last course. Ask for an extra little bowl of the intensely garlicky turnip kimchi to stir in: delicious. 808 S. Western Ave., Los Angeles, (213) 388-1717.
A faded diner stuck to a budget motel, blasting Thai newscasts and richly decorated with pictures of the king, Siam Sunset may be the most Thai restaurant in Thai Town, crowded with Bangkok expats, especially in the morning, when everybody comes for the jok, Thai congee. It's pretty plain; a thick, bland porridge you can order with roast duck, soured pork meatballs or thin fillets of fish that cook in the heat of the stock, although it becomes considerably more interesting when you swirl in fish sauce, chiles and pickled peppers, as if it were a dish of phat Thai. Jok is a blank surface on which flavors are incised. Do you want the Thai coffee? Not unless your idea of satori involves a mug of instant. But the tea isn't bad, and you might as well get a plate of hot Chinese doughnuts, served with a little saucer of condensed milk for dipping. 5265 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, (323) 467-8935.
At first glance, Yao's is a pretty standard Dongbei-style restaurant, serving dishes from the northeast of China. There are particularly good, super-thin potato pancakes (as well as pancakes made with purple yam, horned melon or corn), steamed dumplings stuffed with cabbage or chives, pickled cabbage everywhere, and plenty of grilled, cumin-rubbed quail, chicken wings and skewered lamb. The proprietor is said to come from Yanbian, right above North Korea, and there is a certain crossover — some of the pickles in the deli case are pretty close to kimchi, and the thin, stretchy starch noodles in chilled broth are the spitting image of Korean naengmyun. But the Chinese name of the restaurant translates as Yao Kee Congee Shop. And though you'll find the kind of pumpkin porridge, millet porridge and red date porridge you might expect to see in a health-oriented Korean restaurant, the specialty seems to be bland, soothing Chinese-style rice porridge supplemented with vegetables, gargantuan shrimp or chewy shreds of braised sea cucumber. 1277 E. Valley Blvd., Alhambra, (626) 281-9261.


The Concat operator concatenates the output of multiple Observables so that they act like a single Observable, with all of the items emitted by the first Observable being emitted before any of the items emitted by the second Observable (and so forth, if there are more than two).
Concat waits to subscribe to each additional Observable that you pass to it until the previous Observable completes. Note that because of this, if you try to concatenate a "hot" Observable, that is, one that begins emitting items immediately and before it is subscribed to, Concat will not see, and therefore will not emit, any items that Observable emits before all previous Observables complete and Concat subscribes to the "hot" Observable.
In some ReactiveX implementations there is also a ConcatMap operator (a.k.a. concat_all, concat_map, concatMapObserver, for, forIn/for_in, mapcat, selectConcat, or selectConcatObserver) that transforms the items emitted by a source Observable into corresponding Observables and then concatenates the items emitted by each of these Observables in the order in which they are observed and transformed.
The StartWith operator is similar to Concat, but prepends, rather than appends, items or emissions of items to those emitted by a source Observable.
The Merge operator is also similar. It combines the emissions of two or more Observables, but may interleave them, whereas Concat never interleaves the emissions from multiple Observables.
In RxClojure concat concatenates some number of individual Observables together in the order in which they are given.
The concat* operator concatenates the Observables emitted by an Observable together, in the order in which they are emitted.
RxGroovy implements this operator as concat. There are variants of this operator that take between two and nine Observables as parameters, and that concatenate them in the order they appear in the parameter list. There is also a variant that takes as a parameter an Observable of Observables, and concatenates each of these Observables in the order that they are emitted.
There is also an instance method, concatWith, such that Observable.concat(a,b) is equivalent to a.concatWith(b).
RxJava implements this operator as concat. There are variants of this operator that take between two and nine Observables as parameters, and that concatenate them in the order they appear in the parameter list. There is also a variant that takes as a parameter an Observable of Observables, and concatenates each of these Observables in the order that they are emitted.
RxJS implements this operator as concat and concatAll.
concat takes a variable number of Observables (or Promises) as parameters (or a single array of Observables or Promises), and concatenates them in the order they appear in the parameter list (or array). It exists as both an Observable prototype method and as an instance method.
concatAll is an instance method that operates on an Observable of Observables, concatinating each of these Observables in the order they are emitted.
RxKotlin implements this operator as concat. There are variants of this operator that take between two and nine Observables as parameters, and that concatenate them in the order they appear in the parameter list. There is also a variant that takes as a parameter an Observable of Observables, and concatenates each of these Observables in the order that they are emitted.
Rx.NET implements this operator as Concat. It accepts either an enumerable of Observables, an Observable of Observables, or two Observables as parameters, and concatenates these in the order given.
RxPHP implements this operator as concat.
Concatenate an observable sequence onto the end of the source observable.
RxPHP also has an operator concatAll.
Concatenates a sequence of observable sequences into a single observable sequence.
In RxPY concat takes a variable number of Observables as parameters (or an array of Observables), and concatenates them in the order they appear in the parameter list (or array).
concatAll operates on an Observable of Observables, concatinating each of these Observables in the order they are emitted.
In Rx.rb, the concat operator operates on two Observables as an instance operator, or on an array of Observables as a class method.
The merge_all operator, despite its name, really behaves like a Concat variant in Rx.rb. It accepts an Observable of Observables as its parameter, and concatenates the emissions from these Observables.
RxScala implements this operator in two ways. There is a concat operator that accepts an Observable of Observables as its parameter, and then concatenates each of these Observables in the order they are emitted. There is also a ++ operator that concatenates one Observable to another.


Metal Polishing is the smoothing of metal surfaces or rubbing to a high luster with a fine abrasive. The process can use a combination of methods to prepare a smooth and often reflective finished surface. Polishing is an important metal finishing process for many products and is generally accomplished with an abrasive belt, grinding wheel, setup wheel, or other abrasive media.

Hill leaders upbeat on Bush-era tax cuts
Congressional leaders of both parties suggested Sunday that they could reach a deal to extend all Bush-era tax rates as early as this week and that it would include an agreement by Republicans to also extend unemployment benefits for millions of jobless Americans.
"I think that most folks believe that the recipe would include at least an extension of unemployment benefits for those who are unemployed and an extension of all of the tax rates for all Americans for some period of time," said Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl, Arizona Republican. "I think an agreement could be reached in the relatively near future."
Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, acknowledged that negotiations are "moving in that direction," though he said this was against his judgment and added that he could not accept a deal in Congress' lame-duck session that failed to include extended jobless benefits...

Q: SwiftUI programmatically add text or button to a Zstack Is there any way to simply append or insert a Text() or other View programmatically? Something like you click a button, or use a tap gesture on a view to insert a new View?
I was imagining it would be like
var body: some View {
  ZStack{ Text("some text") }.gesture( TapGesture().onChanged(self.add( Text("some new text") )))
}

Or something like that, but it doesn't seem to be supported and I'm not finding any documented way to insert new items. If that's not possible, what's the alternative to dynamically adding elements like this? Just create an entirely new view with the elements I want?

A: @State private var myviews = ["some text"]
var body: some View {
  VStack {
    ForEach(myviews, id: \.self) { myview in
        Text(myview)
    }
    Button(action: {self.addview()}) {
                Text("Show details")
    }
 }
    private func addView() {
        self.myviews.append("some new text")
    }
}

Something like this? Not sure what's the result you are trying to achieve.


100 g plantain consists of 122 calories.
It contains 2.3 g of dietary fiber per 100 g. Adequate amount of dietary-fiber in the food helps normal bowel movements, thereby reducing constipation problems.
Fresh plátanos have more vitamin C than bananas. 100 g provide 18.4 mg or 31% of daily required levels of this vitamin. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin-C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen-free radicals.
Plantains have more vitamin A than bananas. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, vitamin A plays a vital role in the visual cycle, maintaining healthy mucus membranes, and enhancing skin complexion.
I cooked the plantain slices in a pan on the stove top using organic coconut oil. This was one whole plantain and made 3 servings!
- Cut plantain into slices (I think diagonally looks pretty).
- Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg spices evenly over plantain slices.
- Heat coconut oil in a pan on Medium heat.
- Gently place plantain slices into pan.
- Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Cowbeech Bonfire Society Charitable Trust held the annual 'Dig for Victory' village show on a day that was possibly the warmest in its 22 year history.
The essence of the show is to reflect and maintain 1940s community values.
It included a display of military vehicles from the Second World War and re-enactors in authentic uniforms that were designed with much cooler climes in mind.
The large crowd that attended enjoyed tea and cake, beer and burgers and ice cream. Traditional sideshows such as the coconut shy were there to be relished along with innovative amusements such as maggot racing and the human vegetable machine all raised money for local causes.
The Companion Dog Show went ahead as planned with extra shade and plenty of water provided for the furry friends. The practices of growing your own fruit and vegetables, flower growing and arranging, home cookery, making preserves and craftwork were all on display and the best exhibits were rewarded with points and cash. Those with most points were awarded trophies presented to them by James Braxton of TV's Antiques Road Trip fame.
Visitors were entertained throughout the afternoon by live performances from the Warbleton Brass Band and a medley of wartime vocals from local 'Forces favourite' Rosie Ann Page. All these popular entertainers have been booked again for August 4 2019. The event ended with a charity auction of products and artefacts donated by exhibitors.


Radon is a tasteless, odorless, colorless, radioactive gas. It has a half-life of 3.8 days, which means that, every 3.8 days, half of the radon will break down by the process of radioactive decay into a number of solids, including polonium and lead. When natural gas containing radon is burned, the radon remains intact and vents into the surrounding air. It can only be destroyed by radioactive decay.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause among smokers. EPA attributes 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year nationwide to radon exposure.
Radon and its decay products enters the body through inhalation into the lungs. The radon and its daughter products will decay in the lungs, causing cancer.
Radon is present in all natural gas, particularly natural gas from deep shale formations, but radon levels vary considerably from one formation to another. Available studies indicate report that dark shales such as the Marcellus shale, which lies under the much of the northeastern United States and is centered in Pennsylvania, are more radioactive than other shale formations.
It takes 4 to 8 days for this gas to reach the NYC metro area, well above radon's half-life of 3.8 days.
Based on these facts, the average radon levels in natural gas currently burned in NYC Metro Area apartment stoves should be 1.5 pCi/l or less, which is below the EPA's recommended mitigation level of 4 pCi/l. A citizen radon monitoring project organized by Sane Energy has found current radon levels in apartments to be predominantly below 1 pCI/l.
Existing studies and information on radioactivity levels present in byproducts of Marcellus shale gas extraction strongly suggest the radon levels in Marcellus shale gas will be dramatically higher. A 2012 limited survey by the United States Geological Survey found a median radon level of 37 pCi/l with the highest level of 79 pCi/l at the point of extraction.
Transit time to NYC metro area is approximately 15 to 20 hours, depending on location of well, pipeline route, and transmission speed. Thus, the radon contained in natural gas from the Marcellus shale will not have nearly as much time to decay as the natural gas that is currently being delivered to NYC homes from Gulf Coast sources.
This data suggests that the average radon level in New York apartments from burning Marcellus gas will be at least 20 times greater than it is currently. It could be significantly higher, up to sixty times current levels if the highest values in the USGS study are correct..
Public health experts are concerned that exposure to such elevated radon levels in Marcellus gas will result in a major spike in lung cancer deaths over time in the NYC Metro area.
There are currently two bills in the State Senate and State Assembly that would require both monitoring for radon as well as establishing enforceable standards for keeping radon levels at a safe level in our homes. Tell your representatives to endorse and sponsor these bills, and spread the word to your neighbors, family and friends.


The initial aim of Bento was to create a set of dishware for the modern university apartment.
A few sketches exploring how the individual parts of Bento would stack and settle.
Bento is designed to accent a kitchen, and stay out of the way. It maintains the necessary function of a plate through slight tilt into the corners, and yet won't rock like other plates. The chopsticks are based on the Chinese design, with a flat edge to prevent rolling.

Henri La Fontaine
Co-founder of the UIA
"The peoples are not awake...[There are dangers] which will render a world organization impossible.
I foresee the renewal of...the secret bargaining behind closed doors. Peoples will be as before,
the sheep sent to the slaughterhouses or to the meadows as it pleases the shepherds.
International institutions ought to be, as the national ones in democratic countries,
established by the peoples and for the peoples."
- Henri La Fontaine
Henri La Fontaine (22 April 1854 - 14 May 1943) was born in Brussels, Belgium. He studied law at the Free University of Brussels, and was admitted to the bar in 1877. In 1893, he became professor of international law at the Free University of Brussels, and two years later was elected to the Belgian Senate as a member of the Socialist Party. He served as vice chairman of the Senate from 1919 to 1932.
La Fontaine entered the organized peace movement when Hodgson Pratt, the British pacifist, came to Belgium in the early 1880's to establish a branch of the International Arbitration and Peace Association. He went on to become the Secretary-General of the Société Belge de l'Arbitrage et de la Paix in 1889, and participated actively in nearly all peace congresses held in the following 25 years. He served as president of the International Peace Bureau from 1907 until his death in 1943, and was influential in the Bureau's efforts to bring about The Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907. La Fontaine was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1913 in recognition of his contribution towards the peace movement. He was a member of the Belgian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, and to the League of Nations Assembly (1920-1921).
In other efforts to foster world peace, he founded the Centre Intellectuel Mondial, which later merged into the League of Nations Institute for Intellectual Cooperation. He is the co-founder of the Institut International de Bibliographie along with Paul Otlet, and it was in this role that he and Otlet attended the World Congress of Universal Documentation in 1937.
La Fontaine was a leading spokesman and advocate for women's rights. He was appointed secretary of a technical school for young women in 1878; he wrote La Femme et le barreau in 1901, taking an advanced position on the place of women in the legal profession; and he was president of the Association for the Professional Education of Women.
Selected works by Henri La Fontaine:
Les droits et des obligations des entrepreneurs de travaux publics (1885)
Traité de la contrefaçon (l888)
Manuel des lois de la paix: Code de l'arbritrage (1894)
Pasicrisie internationale: Histoire documentaire des arbitrages internationaux , 1794-1900 (1902)

"Run Carlos Run," a documentary about Carlos Ibarra who ran 3,000 miles from Brooklyn, Ny. to his hometown Costa Mesa, Calif., will be screening on Thursday, February 9 at 6 p.m., in Stubbs 100 on the ULM campus.
The screening is a joint effort with the ULM Communication program and the ULM Speech and Debate Forum's Traveling Scholar series. Established in 2009 by Dr. Lesli Pace, the series brings guest lecturers, scholars, and artists to the ULM campus. The screening is a specific component of the communication advocacy concentration in the communication program.
Currently, Ibarra is traveling across the country, bringing his film to different businesses, festivals, philanthropic organizations, and universities. The Run Carlos Run team says they hope to inspire other individuals to chase their dream just as Ibarra has.
Following the screening there will be a meet and greet with Ibarra and the filmmakers and a short question and answer segment.


"Certainty . . . is not at all to be found in the pursuit of war."
When Chief Guepotau of the Araucanians was killed in action by the Spanish in 1590 in what is now southern Chile, his wife, Janequeo assumed leadership of the tribe and carried on the war, inflicting such heavy losses on the enemy in men and money that Spain eventually decided to make peace rather than continue the struggle.
Reportedly, every year on her birthday Kaiser Wilhelm gave his wife, the Empress Augusta Victoria, twelve hats, which he picked out himself, and thus were often in bad taste, but which he insisted she wear, a practice that continued until 1916, when she convinced him that in view of the ongoing world war it was essential that the Imperial family set a good example by eschewing luxuries.
The final ceremony marking the accession of an Ottoman sultan to the throne took place in the Mosque of Ayoub in Constantinople, where the monarch was girded with the sword of Osman, who had founded the dynasty in 1299.
While Commander-in-Chief of the British Army (1795-1809), Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany, founded a maternity hospital for the wives of guardsmen and a school for a thousand children of British soldiers.
During the 1880s, the militia batteries of the Royal Regiment of Artillery were grouped into eastern, southern, and western "divisions" to facilitate training, but for some inscrutable reason, the Scottish Highlands and the Orkney Islands were included in the southern division, while Northumberland and Yorkshire were in the western.
In 1637 a treaty between the Emperor of China and the King of Korea stipulated that the latter was to supply as part of his annual tribute 5,000 rolls of special paper that was considered ideal for the fabrication of laminated armor, which had been in use in China since the Tang Dynasty.
