Q: Prevent child elements overflowing max-height of parent I'm trying to produce a layout where I have a div with a percentage height of the body.  In addition, I also want to limit this height using max-height.
Inside the parent, I want to create some columns that have further sub-elements, all of which fit within the height (or max-height) of the parent.
Please see this example: http://jsfiddle.net/k6rfr/2/
The problem is that the child elements (with a height of 50% each), match the height of the parent and not the max-height.
Is there any way to make the child elements match the max-height instead of the height?

A: Though this is not exactly what you might need, it solves your problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/k6rfr/3/
I placed the max-height directy in the child-elements omiting the second wrapper element. The problem you have here is that you have to define the height in two different places.

A: I think the error is that a given block "outer" height of 60% may not correspond to what you wrote after 300px. It's not correct. If you remove a specified percentage of the height, the blocks would fall into place. Or enter the correct proportion height and max-height.

The Sound Of The Wind On Mars
This video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory featuring the sound of Martian wind captured by the InSight lander, and it's pretty amazing – even if it sounds a lot like the wind here on earth.
The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory included the following information to explain what you're hearing, & how to listen to the sounds best as the are extremely low frequency.
Listen to Martian wind blow across NASA's InSight lander. The spacecraft's seismometer and air pressure sensor picked up vibrations from 10-15 mph (16-24 kph) winds as they blew across Mars' Elysium Planitia on Dec. 1, 2018.
The seismometer readings are in the range of human hearing, but are nearly all bass and difficult to hear on laptop speakers and mobile devices. We provide the original audio and a version pitched up by two octaves to make them audible on mobile devices. Playback is suggested on a sound system with a subwoofer or through headphones. Readings from the air pressure sensor have been sped up by a factor of 100 times to make them audible. For full-length uncompressed .wav files, visit NASA.gov/sounds.

Home England Pompey boss Redknapp: Sol is a winner
Pompey boss Redknapp: Sol is a winner
Redknapp said: "Sol is a winner. In five-a-sides or whatever you do, he wants to win.
"You can look at him messing around on the training pitch. He's like a little kid. He's enjoying his football.
"I was surprised he was available in the summer. People mentioned it to me and I thought 'no chance'.
"He was the best player in the Champions League final and I thought there was no way he was going to leave Arsenal.
"I don't know what his problems were at Arsenal. Whatever reasons he had, it can happen to people in life. We all go through bad spells. He wasn't enjoying what he was doing.
"All I know is since he's been here, he's been absolutely top class.
"I've known Sol for years. He came to Jamie's 21st birthday party down in Bournemouth. He spent a day at the house then.
"I have followed Sol's career from Tottenham when he was a striker.
"He played in the youth team as a centre-forward against Bournemouth when I was there and they beat us about 6-1. He could be useful when we're struggling to find a fit striker!"

Vista is designed so that using the default administrator account is not necessary. Unfortunately, the lever for doing this is the ever-intrusive UAC (User Access Control) which we have already talked about. If you would rather go directly to the source to make your changes and use the administrator account, you might be baffled since this account is inactive by default. Let's look at making the default administrator account one of your login options on the welcome screen, so it's available when needed.
To make the administrator account appear on the login screen we need to do two operations; add a password to the administrator account and make it active.
In the command prompt, type 'Net user administrator (password)' where (password) is the password you want to apply to the administrator account. Do not include the brackets. Hit Enter.
In the same command prompt, type 'Net user administrator /active:yes' and press Enter.
The administrator account will now appear on the welcome screen and can be used.
This is not strictly a performance tip, but it makes working with Vista a lot easier if you like listening to music while you run other applications. The Vista audio control panel allows you to set the volume independently for each application you have running. This means you can mute or reduce the audio of the game or application you are running while continuing to listen to your music at full volume. Great feature.
Right click the 'volume' icon in the taskbar and choose 'open volume mixer'.
From here you can adjust both the overall speaker volume and the individual volumes of each application.
This not a performance tip per se, but it does correct a major annoyance in the Windows Vista Media Centre default settings. By default, Media Center will not find and list DVD media that you have backed up to your hard drive. Fortunately, correcting this can be done with a quick registry edit.
Start Regedit and navigate to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\DvdSettings'.
Double-click the 'ShowGallery' value and change it to 'Gallery'.
Now the DVD gallery will display in Media Center and enumerate your stored DVD media in the library.


Ok, no worries then on Chrome. Let's run some scans for orphans and remnants.

Q: CGcontext origin after rotation I am trying to rotate an image about the center then place the rotated image's center over a point. When I draw it on the context after rotatoin it does not draw where i expect...

CGContextRotateCTM(context, radiansOffset);
CGContextTranslateCTM( context, -xOffset, -yOffset)

[backgroundimage drawInRect:CGRectMake( x, y, width, height)];

When i place the image without rotation, it is placed where i want, but after rotation as above, it is placed almost as if its still being rotated around a point outside of the image itself.

Q: How to Convert HTML/CSS to PDF in PHP on Linux I have been trying to convert an html page to PDF with out any luck, I have tried to use wkhtmltopdf (http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/) and the PHP class provided by the same developers (http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/IntegrationWithPhp) although the following command executed correctly in terminal:
wkhtmltopdf http:/www.googl.com test.pdf

I was unable to execute the command in PHP because of the following error:
cannot connect to X server.
Can any one provide me with a step-by-step tutorial in order to be able to convert html/css to PDF file, whether using wkhtmltopdf or any other decent solution.
Thanks in advance
here is the class that i have used http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/IntegrationWithPhp
and below is my code
$html = file_get_contents("test.html");

$pdf = new WKPDF();

$pdf->set_html($html);

$pdf->render();

$pdf->output(WKPDF::$PDF_EMBEDDED,'sample.pdf');

Below is the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'WKPDF didn't return any data.
/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf: /opt/lampp/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available

#3 {main} thrown in /var/www/c4/components/com_wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.class.php on line 211

A: I found the solution, The following error "No protocol specified wkhtmltopdf: cannot
connect to X server :0" was basically caused by on old version of "wkhtmltopdf" which was installed using apt-get. The solution was to download the static binary from the code.google using the following link:
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
and then perform the following actions:
tar -jxvf wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0-static.tar.bz2
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs

Next, you'll have to make a symbolic link pointing to WKHTMLTOPDF in /usr/bin.
sudo ln -s /full_path/WKHTMLTOPDF /usr/bin/WKHTMLTOPDF

Home COVID 19 Update G/A GES Boss Assures Parents Following Disinfection In Accra Girls' SHS
G/A GES Boss Assures Parents Following Disinfection In Accra Girls' SHS
Dickson Boadi
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has assured parents and guardians of final-year senior high school (SHS) students in the country that it will do everything humanly possible to protect their children against COVID-19.
The Greater Accra Regional Director of the GES, Mrs Monica Ankrah, gave the assurance on the sideline of a mass disinfection exercise in the Accra Girls' Senior High School, in the national capital, Accra.
She ades that the school authorities had also been charged with the task of ensuring that the students together with the teaching and non-teaching staff members observe strictly the COVID-19 safety protocols.
The exercise, which was a collaboration between the ministry of education (MoE), and Zoomlion Ghana Limited (ZGL), came off yesterday, and it lasted for about five hours.
According to the Greater Accra regional GES director, the lives of the students were a priority to her outfit, encouraging parents to have confidence in the GES and school authorities to "take very good care of their children."
She also assured the teaching and non-teaching staff members that the GES will continue to implement measures that will protect them from the virus.
While empathising with parents gripped with panic and fear, following reported cases of COVID-19 in some of the SHSs, she indicated that the best option was for the infected students to be isolated and treated.
"In the wake of reported COVID-19 cases in some of the schools, the best thing to do which we [at GES] are doing is isolatiing and treating those infected by the virus, instead of sending them home where there is the high risk of them exposing their families and others to the virus," she said.
"Isolation centres have been provided in the schools to facilitate treatment of students who would contract COVID-19," she averred.
In this regard, Mrs Ankrah disclosed that many of the students who contracted the virus had recovered and had been discharged to their various schools.
The exercise – which lasted for about five hours- was necessitated by over fifty confirmed COVID-19 cases at the Accra Girls' SHS, and was done yesterday (Friday, June 16).
She reiterated that the GES will continue to extend support to the SHSs in the form of providing them with nose masks, alcohol-based hand sanitisers, liquid soaps among others.
Mrs Ankrah seized the opportunity to appeal to political parties to refrain from politicising the COVID-19 in the schools.
"…rather we should all be seen supporting to fight this epidemic in the country, cautioning that "we [GES] won't allow politics on the various campuses of the SHSs," she stated.
So far only seven SHSs in the region had recorded cases of COVID-19, but added that many of the infected students had recovered, she revealed.
The Head of Vector Control Unit, ZGL, Reverend Ebenezer Kwame Addae, explained that the reason for the disinfection was to make the school's environment and its facilities safe for the students and the staff members.
He opined that regular disinfection together with the strict practising of the COVID-19 preventive protocols was key in battling the virus.
He, therefore, advised corporate Ghana to engage in regular disinfection against the virus.
"In addition to sanitising the entire school, we also disinfected the school's high risk areas including door handles, doors, dormitories, classrooms and others," he said.
Later, Reverend Addae on behalf of ZGL presented some gallons of disinfectants, microbial soaps and alcohol-based hand sanitisers to the GES to be given to the school.
In addition, he announced that his outfit will attach at least two ZGL workers whose job would be to do regular disinfection and cleaning of especially high risk spaces of the schoolsl.
This gesture, he went on to add, would be replicated in all the SHSs across the country.
Mrs Ankrah, who received the donation, commended ZGL, and encouraged other institutions to support the central government in the fight against COVID-19.
Facilities disinfected at the Accra Girls' SHS included dormitories, sick bay, classrooms, administration block, dining hall, playing field, offices, among others.
Classes were in session while the exercise was ongoing.

Notes from SRF: Kennedy To Start Opening Day
After much anticipation, the D-backs have finally selected a pitcher to serve as their Opening Day starter on April 1 against Colorado.
One year after fighting through Spring Training attempting to crack the Major League roster, Ian Kennedy now finds himself receiving the honor of starting the first regular season game of 2011.
"You know it's a possibility, but I knew I had a couple people in front of me," Kennedy said. "It's just a big honor. It's something you dream about as a little kid. You want to be that Opening Day guy. It's a big honor. I'm at a loss for words."
Last season was Kennedy's first year in Arizona after being acquired from the New York Yankees in an offseason trade. In 2009, Kennedy missed an extended amount of time due to aneurysm surgery and pitched in only one game at the Major League level.
As a new D-back, Kennedy did not disappoint by quickly establishing himself as a mainstay in the starting rotation. He notched nine wins and a solid 3.80 ERA in his 32 starts. In his first full season in the big leagues, Kennedy managed to throw a career high 194 innings.
He capped off a strong first season by allowing two runs or less in six of his last nine starts. Of those nine starts, Kennedy pitched at least five innings in all but one of them. The right-hander notched 168 strikeouts, a rate of 7.8 per nine innings.
For Kennedy, he entered this Spring with a different approach compared to years past.
"Coming in here last year, (I was) trying to make the team," Kennedy said. "This year, just happy that I can treat Spring Training like most guys on the roster treat Spring Training and not try to make the team. Just trying to get ready for the season. I knew the Opening Day spot was kind of up for grabs. So that was in the back of my mind that it was possible."
This will be Kennedy's first career Opening Day start, and he is the sixth D-backs pitcher to start on Opening Day, joining Andy Benes, Randy Johnson, Javier Vazquez, Brandon Webb and Dan Haren. The D-backs are confident that he is the right man for the job.
"He pitched very good for this ball club last year," General Manager Kevin Towers said. "He finished strong, almost logged 200 innings. He's a pitcher. I mean this guy has four pitches. He throws them all for strikes. He's a guy that I don't think will have any fear for being an Opening Day starter. He'll probably look at this start like any other start.
"He'll go out and give you everything that he has. I'm looking for him to have some success out there. Happy for him, that's quite an honor for a young pitcher that's got less than two years experience in the big leagues."
Young heating up at plate
D-backs outfielder Chris Young is capable of hitting almost anywhere in the starting lineup. Young not only has experience in the leadoff spot, but throughout the middle part of the order as well.
On Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants, Young was penciled in manager Kirk Gibson's leadoff spot. In the bottom of the first, Young unloaded on a Madison Bumgarner pitch and smacked it into the lawn seating in left-center field.
After walking in his second at bat, Young laced another extra base hit in the fifth inning, this time a double off of Giants pitcher Guillermo Mota.
With two more hits against the Giants, Young is heating up at the plate this Spring, hitting .316 with two home runs and five doubles. The recent success has been the result of a calm approach and plenty of work for Young.
"Just trying to see the ball," Young said. "I've been working a lot on my approach at the plate and in my path with my swing with (Don) Baylor quite a bit. Just trying to stay calm and patient at the plate. I've really been trying to see pitches this Spring and not get too aggressive."
Young's play earned him All-Star honors in 2010 when he represented the D-backs in Anaheim. He finished the season with impressive numbers including 27 home runs, 91 RBI and 33 doubles.
Young hopes that consistency at the plate will help him duplicate his 2010 success.
"I did kind of find my swing per say last year, and it's a better feeling going into the offseason knowing what you feel like you need to work on," Young said. "This offseason I stuck with my approach, and I feel like I have it down better right now even than I did last year. So hopefully I'll get good results from it."

Brisbane South Resume Writing service. Role Rattle is about careers challenges, offering tips and suggestions.
Admittedly, stories like this one don't come along every day, but when they do, I think they inspire us all!
This week I had the opportunity to work with a fantastic young man who is so motivated to reach his career goals, but needed some help to take the next step toward his dream job. A trade qualified Fitter and Turner, he was eager to make the move from a role as a Maintenance Technician in a large-scale production facility to the oil rigs. Jack* met all the criteria in the job advertisement and came with a resume that he had drafted himself – but he needed Role Ready to sell all his qualifications, skills and experience in a way that targeted this job specifically and a coverletter that helped his enthusiasm to shine.
The other aspect of Jack's application was timing. As we always mention to our clients, the best chance you can ever give yourself is to be on the top of the heap – meaning that you have your coverletter and your resume ready to go and your eye on the relevant job websites, so that as soon as that job is posted, you are hitting the APPLY NOW button. You can have the greatest resume in the world, but if you're not getting seen, then all that time and cost can be wasted. We suggest the first 24-48hrs will give you best window of opportunity. In the current job market, the sheer volume of applicants within the first 3-5 days can be staggering.
By sheer coincidence, the job Jack wanted to apply for had only been posted the day before, so within that 48hr window, his resume and letter were ready to go. On Tuesday morning his application was submitted, by lunch time he'd had a phone interview and by 5pm he was calling me to tell me he'd been offered the job.
Wow. Like I said, that doesn't happen every day, but it did this week, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving future rig crew member! It's what can happen when you're Role Ready.

The second is from [[A. J. Downing]]'s book on wooden [[picturesque]] houses, ''The Architecture of Country Houses'' (1850) [Fig. 2]. Both illustrated views from the bracketed [[piazza]], or veranda, as [[A. J. Downing|Downing]] preferred to call it, out to the distant [[prospect]].

According to local authorities, the Global SuperTanker, a modified Boeing 747-400 aircraft known for being the largest firefighting airplane on the planet, is taking part in the fight against the raging infernos in California. The plane is capable of carrying 18,000 gallons of fire retardant and is actively working to help control the deadly blazes.
The Global SuperTanker is battling the flames in one of the worst-hit areas in California. So far, according to a report by the Daily Mail, deadly wildfires have been responsible for 31 deaths and the destruction of thousands of homes.
In comparison to other aircraft, the Global SuperTanker can hold nearly 17 times more liquid than similar planes.
On Friday alone, the airplane dropped four loads of the fire retardant over parts of California. Dan Reese, the CEO of the Colorado company that owns the aircraft asserted that they intend to keep working in the area.
"We plan on being there until we're released by Cal Fire," said Reese.
Currently, three major fires are ravaging California: the Camp Fire, and the Woolsey and Hill fires.
The Camp Fire effectively wiped the town of Paradise, located in Butte County, off the map. The Woolsey and Hill fires are burning just northwest of Los Angeles.
The Global SuperTanker didn't make an appearance during the summer blazes in California as the company didn't have a contract that allowed them to work on federal land.
John Hawkins, a firefighter working in the area, captured footage of the massive plane dropping red fire retardant liquid over an affected area.

Honoring and recognizing the City of Kansas City Missouri's Facility Management team on City Hall being designated an ENERGY STAR Certified Building.
WHEREAS, City Hall building has earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR certification with this honor being given to buildings that perform in the 75th percentile nationwide for energy efficiency and meet strict energy efficiency performance levels set by the EPA; and
WHEREAS, City Hall received an energy efficiency score in the 92nd percentile, an impressive feat considering City Hall, located at 414 E. 12th St., was built 75 years ago; and
WHEREAS, commercial buildings that earn EPA's ENERGY STAR certification use an average of 35 percent less energy than typical buildings and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; and
WHEREAS, the City has improved its energy performance by managing energy strategically in not only City Hall, but at several City facilities and last year, the City's General Services Department completed an 18-month Energy Conservation Project that made sustainable changes and upgrades to City facilities that conserved energy, improved operations and saved money with City Hall's energy consumption being reduced by 14 percent, or approximately $135,600.00 per year; and
WHEREAS, the EPA's ENERGY STAR energy performance scale helps organizations assess how efficiently their buildings use energy relative to similar buildings nationwide and a building that scores a 75 or higher on EPA's 1-100 scale may be eligible for ENERGY STAR certification; and
WHEREAS, ENERGY STAR was introduced by the EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency and today the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 60 different kinds of products as well as new homes and commercial and industrial buildings that meet strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the EPA; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
That the Mayor and Council hereby extend their most sincere appreciation and congratulations to the facility management team of City of Kansas City Missouri for their work, this certification further demonstrates the City's commitment to environmental stewardship while also lowering our energy costs; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution be spread upon the Minutes of the Council in testimony thereof, and that a copy hereof be presented to the City of Kansas City Missouri's Facility Management team with the appreciation of the Mayor and Council for all the hard work and the noteworthy achievement of City Hall being awarded the EPA ENERGY STAR certification.

International Gaming Awards highest honour awarded to Bertil Knutsson
TCSJOHNHUXLEY Chairman, Bertil Knutsson recently received the Outstanding Contribution Award at the 5th International Gaming Awards. He was honoured at the annual gala award dinner held on 23rd January at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in London, amongst leading figures of the international gaming community.
This prestigious award, which has seen past recipients including Dr Stanley Ho and Andrew Love, recognises the influence and inspiration Bertil Knutsson has made on the gaming industry. In a career spanning more than 60 years, Knutsson is one of the industry's most influential characters. Born March 1st 1932 the youngest of four children, he was brought up in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Developing a keen interest in boxing when he was younger, he was an international boxing referee and became a promoter of professional boxing events featuring legends such as Sonny Liston. Also counting the former heavy weight world champ (the late) Ingemar Johansson amongst his friends. He also promoted other sporting events such as The Harlem Globetrotters and the tennis tournament WCT, which hosted legendary players such as Björn Borg, Stan Smith, Arthur Ashe, Ilie Nastase and Rod Laver.
It was not until 1959 that he started in the gaming industry operating casinos in Sweden. However, Sweden soon became too small for his visions and in the early 1980's he branched out to international market. It was at this time he invented the groundbreaking chip sorting machine – Chipper Champ, which changed the face of gaming floors worldwide and still continues to be a world beating product.
In 2001 with his partners, formed a company introducing Ladbrokes eGaming into the Nordic Countries. Within 5 years the company recruited over 300,000 new members, making approx. 40% of Ladbrokes eGaming total Poker revenues. Among many others he and his family are also major shareholders in Betsson AB and Net Entertainment.
In 2003 TCS acquired John Huxley and TCSJOHNHUXLEY was born. The company continues to be at the forefront of the supply and manufacture of live table gaming equipment and goes from strength to strength in this competitive arena.
With so many business interests, it is almost unbelievable that Bertil Knutsson has time for any hobbies or outside interests. His passion is for Trotting horses and for decades has supported the Industry, owning more than 50 trotting horses.
The Award was a total surprise on the night, with the family having been sworn to secrecy. On receiving the award, Bertil commented, "I am overwhelmed and extremely delighted to receive this honour. It is very satisfying to be acknowledged not only for my achievements to the gaming industry, but also the varied other work I have been involved with over the years. Many thanks to everyone involved!"

A Week in Gaming: Stuff and Things
November 24, 2013 Kelly Flatley	3 Comments
So I have been playing a lot of stuff this week. It's been a busy week with both life and gaming, to be honest. I have had three PlayStation 4 games to play through as well as the new DLC for Bioshock Infinite and Tearaway for the PS Vita. On top of that I've had school and a crazy work schedule (gotta love working retail during the holidays) so busy hardly describes it. What I have had the chance to play has been pretty awesome though, and there truly is no better time to be a gamer.
I'm going to do a quick and fun general recap of all my exploits this past week, video game-wise. There's really no point in going into depth since none of you have all day to read every detail about all the games I have been playing, I'm sure, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Let's get cracking, shall we?
Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea (Episode One)
I played through this lovely little DLC last week and really enjoyed it. Venturing back to Rapture in its hayday (before excessive damage and splicers) was great and playing through that environment as Booker with Elizabeth at my side sweetened the deal. I found myself spending a lot of time just waltzing around and listening in to conversations and looking at the sights throughout the first half of Burial at Sea. It takes place in an area that wasn't in Bioshock or Bioshock 2 so there was a lot to see if you are interested. Plus, I just love this little gem (thank you Ken Levine):
I did have a few issues though. One was that the plasmids were all weird, cannon-wise. You have Devil's Kiss and Possession at the beginning but you should have had Incinerate and, I don't know, Telekenisis or something that was actually a plasmid not a vigor. Maybe that's just me being a stickler but I thought that was odd. I also thought the gameplay was still a little bit overly difficult (I played through on medium and died way more than I should have) but oh well, not a huge deal. The new microwave gun was a neat addition though. The narrative was the best part, so I'm really looking forward to playing as Elizabeth in Episode 2.
Killzone: Shadowfall
This game is gorgeous and features some really fun gameplay (if you're into first-person shooters) but is pretty lacking in the story department. I expected this as none of the Killzone games have featured great story lines on their own (they are better as a whole I suppose) but it still kind of sucks considering this was the major launch day exclusive for the PS4. On the positive side I really like how they wove all the neat new features the PS4 has to offer into the game. Little things like playing audio logs through the speaker in the controller to having stunning graphics were really neat. Overall it's been a lot of fun and while it's not perfect it's helps me to imagine what futures games will look and feel like.
Battlefield 4:
I really haven't played more than about 5 minutes of this game's campaign but I have been having a blast with the multiplayer. I've been mainly playing team deathmatch since I hate playing objective-based modes unless I have some buddies, but I have been having a great time. In Battlefield 3 I was fond of the assault class so I'm sticking with that. The new interface is much easier to get the hang of (spawning and upgrading/selecting weapons in a match mainly) and makes the gameplay a lot more fluid from the player's perspective. I hope to make some friends soon and play with a group more than as a lone wolf. I'm a good lone wolf, but even wolves need buddies sometimes.
Assassin's Creed 4:
Now I don't usually like the Assassin's Creed games and I have only beaten 2 and played part of 3, but I got this for free (technically) so I thought why not give it a try. I'm actually liking it a lot more than I have liked any other AC game. It plays well and looks pretty, plus I love the whole pirate theme. This is another one I can't elaborate much on since I haven't had the time to play it very much, but the hour or two that I have played has been really cool.
Some of the funner aspects include the naval battles, the open world feeling, the scenery and of course seeing whales and other sea life out and about. It's really an improvement over past games, even over what little of the past games I have even played. I'm looking forward to playing more of it.
Tearaway:
Now this little piece of gold is really just amazing. I have only played about an hour of it, so I can't say too much, but I really love it so far. To be honest this game was the reason I wanted a Vita in the first place. Once it was announced I knew I had to have it. I'm a sucker for cute little games like this but in all honesty it's just a fun game all around. I adore the art style (Media Molecule knows how to impress me) and really like the innovative use of the Vita camera and dual touch screens. Tearaway is definitely a good game to get if you have a Vita, I'd highly recommend it.
So what have you all been playing this past week?

"PlayStation absolutely has the rights" to decide which games get Spider-Man
"It comes back to the relationship with PlayStation and Marvel"
Dustin Bailey
Spider-Man has been tied up in licensing hell for ages. Sony owns the film rights for the character, and the PlayStation 4-exclusive Spider-Man game hinted that those rights might go a bit further – and that speculation was exacerbated by the fact that Spider-Man will appear in the upcoming Avengers game exclusively on PlayStation.
"It comes back to the relationship with PlayStation and Marvel," Crystal Dynamics co-head Scot Amos tells Comic Book. In a somewhat roundabout quote, Amos says that "When it comes down to choices of where and what Spider-Man can be, that's a relationship question that PlayStation absolutely has the rights to, that as you guys know, with Sony's ownership there, and Marvel with Sony saying, 'Hey, this is something we can do. This is something we can do on this platform.'"
Sony certainly does not exercise exclusive rights to the Spider-Man character when it comes to games – the character appeared in every version of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, and was part of the roster in the Switch-exclusive Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
The PlayStation versions of the Avengers game are also getting a suite of exclusive cosmetics for each new hero, but unlike Spider-Man, these will become available on other platforms 30 days after they launch. The Avengers game release date is set for September 4.
Our analysis
While it still appears that Sony's rights to Spider-Man only truly apply to the films, it looks like the company is willing to exert some pressure in its relationship with Marvel in order to give the PlayStation name a notable edge – and, unfortunately, to ensure that the game's ever-so-slightly worse on other platforms.
The details of exclusivity deals typically don't become public, but they can take a variety of forms. Some take the form of straight-up money, while others see platform holders and developers taking on co-marketing efforts. Whatever the case, it seems that Sony is keen to ensure you associate Spider-Man with the PlayStation brand, and not just because of that PS3 font.

Acne is one of the challenges an individual encounters at least once or maybe a few times in life. For some, it's an easy battle. However, others find it quite difficult to fix.
The acid commonly used for acne-prone skin is salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, as it goes deep into the pores. However, I found that my skin favors alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) instead. Glycolic acid, in particular, is a form of AHA derived from sugarcane. Unlike salicylic acid, it provides exfoliation on the upper layer of the skin. It prevents the buildup of dead skin cells, excess oil, and sebum a.k.a the contributing factors to acne.
How to use: Since glycolic acid exfoliates the skin, it's recommended to use it (or any other acid) at night only. Also, never use it together with active ingredients like niacinamide, other acids, and retinoid. If you're new to using acid on your skin, always choose a gentle formulation and don't use it every day.
What to expect: Every time I use this, I wake up to smoother skin. I also find that my acne decreases in size. It also promises to fade scars, but I guess it will take a while before you notice visible results.
When I got a lesion of acne on my face, the first recommendation I got was to use tea tree oil. Well, who wouldn't be amazed by the antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties of this essential oil?
How to use: There are many formulations readily available for use in the market today. Some of them are included in cleansers, moisturizers, toners, and other products. But you can get pure tea tree oil and mix it with your DIY mask recipe. Be careful, though, as excessive amounts of tea tree oil can also irritate the skin.
What to expect: It's effective with regular use, but I apply a soothing product after. Since tea tree oil might be overdrying or irritating for some individuals, the aloe vera soothes the area and helps it recover.
This is one of the ingredients I wish I knew earlier. Calamine, a combination of zinc oxide, ferric oxide, and other ingredients, primarily used to treat itchiness, insect bites, and sunburn. Aside from that, calamine has properties that dry out skin inflammation. In fact, this is one of the ingredients present in Mario Badescu Drying Mask. Since it has zinc oxide, it also helps skin heal faster.
How to use: Since I go to work in the morning, I only use this on affected areas.
What to expect: Although I don't find calamine to act as quick as I wish it to be, it does well in drying inflamed acne with regular use.
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant ingredient that fights bacteria and keeps skin tone and texture even. This is also usually prescribed to those with rosacea as it calms redness.
How to use: Personally, I use The Ordinary Azelaic Suspension. I only use it on spots and fresh pimples. Although it has an acid attached to its name, I use this in the morning. Of course, I use sunscreen to ensure that sun exposure won't result to sun damage.
What to expect: Although the product is marketed as a brightening solution, I haven't noticed any visible changes in my acne scars—maybe I should use it more often. But the good thing about this is it really does calm redness.
This is one of the most celebrated acne solutions today. Unlike other products that work its way into our pores, pimple patches are usually made with hydrocolloid, an ingredient that protects the inflammation from further irritation and pollution. But aside from that, pimple patches also lift sebum out of your pimples.
How to use: Apply it on clean skin and leave it for hours.
What to expect: As the patch stays on your skin, you'll notice that it develops a yellowish spot in the middle of the patch. When you remove it, you'll be surprised at the amount of the yellowish stuff. Right away, your bumpy pimple also becomes flat.
While these products worked for my skin, take note that we all have different skin types and each skin reacts differently. Always remember to consult your dermatologist if you're not sure about a new skincare product. Also, always observe what your skin likes and what it needs.
Fighting acne is a difficult battle, but it's not only about your skin. Acne is also a pointer of what might be wrong in your body or lifestyle, too.

Pandemic Legacy: Eight months on from her Covid jab, my wife is still struggling to get back to 'normal' and I'm powerless to help....
Preston sees big fall in sexually transmitted diseases
Pandemic blame for a plunge in cases in the city
By Mike Hill
Thursday, 9th September 2021, 3:45 pm
Sexually transmitted infection rates plunged in Preston as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Fewer people having sex during lockdowns and disruption to health services contributed to a steep drop in STI diagnoses in England last year, experts say.
The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV warned that the latest figures could represent "the tip of the iceberg".
STI rates plunge in Preston during pandemic
Public Health England data shows 929 STIs were diagnosed in Preston in 2020 – 35 per cent fewer than the year before.
It meant 644 in every 100,000 people in the area were infected with potentially life-changing diseases including syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia.
However, that rate was down from 2019, when 991 in 100,000 people in Preston were diagnosed with an STI.
The most common infection in the area was chlamydia with 581 cases found in 2020. A further 85 gonorrhoea cases were diagnosed, as well as nine of syphilis, 56 of genital herpes and 79 of genital warts.
Dr John McSorley, president of BASHH, said the national drop in diagnoses highlighted the "stark and concerning" impact Covid-19 has had on sexual health services.
He added: "Whilst a drop in the number of new infections appears positive, it is important to remember that England entered the Covid pandemic with the highest rates of some STIs since the Second World War.
"This data therefore likely represents the tip of the iceberg.
"STIs haven't gone away, chains of infections haven't been broken."
He urged people to come forward for testing, saying sexually transmitted infections could have life-changing consequences.
Dr Katy Sinka, from PHE, said: "No one wants to swap social distancing for an STI, and as we enjoy the fact that national Covid-19 restrictions have lifted, it's important that we continue to look after our sexual health and wellbeing.
"If you are having sex with new or casual partners, use a condom and get tested.
"STIs can pose serious consequences to your own health and that of your current or future sexual partners."
The national drop reflects a combination of reduced STI testing as a result of pandemic-influenced disruption to sexual health services and changes in sexual behaviour since March 2020, according to a PHE report.
It said testing and diagnoses decreased across all infections during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, but sexual health services continued to diagnose hundreds of thousands of infections after scaling up telephone and internet consultations during lockdown periods.
Face-to-face appointments for urgent or complex cases also continued in that time.

I've been working since the beginning of 2006 on Mobile for Social Development. I started investigating this domain as part of my job at the World Wide Web Consortium, the international standardization organization for Web technologies founded by Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the Web.
Then, I launched in 2009 a private consultancy firm, SB Conseil (aka SBC4D) specialized in the same area. During 4 years we worked exclusively for the World Wide Web Foundation that I helped setting -up and launching and where I was the Lead Project Manager. The Web Foundation was founded by Tim Berners-Lee, and is focusing on the role of the Web as a tool for Social and Economic Development in Developing Countries. Since 2013, we expanded our activities and our customers includes now various organizations such as MTV Staying Alive Foundation, Orange, W3C, the International Trade Center, IFAD, The World Bank or CTA.
My primary expertise is related to mobile services for people living in underprivileged communities. This spans from technology expertise, to user interface design (particularly voice interface design for people who are illiterate and no prior exposure to technology), to business modelling, to service deployment. I have developed a specific knowledge around multi-channel platforms (mixing traditional Web access with voice-based access, etc.), and voice services.

Amazon dropped its plans to come to New York City. Here's what that could mean for schools.
Amazon's commitment to city schools were vague from the outset, and it had announced few specific plans, so it's unlikely the about-face will have big consequences.

Q: How to change a global variable within an if else statement? I have declared a variable beforehand called:
var mathsLesson = 'https://www.link1.com';

The value of this variable will change
if (message.content === '!change') {           //this checks if the user messages !change
   mathsLesson = 'https://www.link2.com'
   message.channel.send(mathsLesson);          //This outputs www.link2.com
}

However when I output mathsLesson outside the if statement, it shows 'www.link1.com' instead of 'www.link2.com' which I wanted. How do I make it output 'www.link2.com'? Thanks in advance!

A: You shouldnt be using a VAR or  CONST if the value of the variable tends the change. Dont use VAR because its pretty old and has many shortcomings change the var to let if you wanat the variable globally you can always export a function to return its value andmany other options
let mathsLesson = 'https://www.link1.com';

if (message.content === '!change') {           //this checks if the user messages !change
   let mathsLesson = 'https://www.link2.com'
   message.channel.send(mathsLesson);          //This outputs www.link2.com
}

A: Others have suggested that you should change var to let, but it won't make any difference. I'm not sure where you're checking the value, but as you can see below, it works as expected, if the statement is true:

var mathsLesson = 'https://www.link1.com';
var message = {
  content: '!change'
};

console.log('outside if, before updating:', mathsLesson);

if (message.content === '!change') {
  mathsLesson = 'https://www.link2.com';
  console.log('inside if:', mathsLesson);
}

console.log('outside if, after updated:', mathsLesson);

And won't work if the statement is false:

var mathsLesson = 'https://www.link1.com';
var message = {
  content: 'no command for you today'
};

console.log('outside if, before updating:', mathsLesson);

if (message.content === '!change') {
  mathsLesson = 'https://www.link2.com';
  console.log('inside if:', mathsLesson);
}

console.log('outside if, after updated:', mathsLesson);

A: let mathsLesson = 'https://www.link1.com';
//The value of this variable will change

if (message.content === '!change') {           //this checks if the user messages
   mathsLesson = 'https://www.link2.com'
   message.channel.send(mathsLesson);          //This outputs www.link2.com
}

Reason
"var" can not be renew
