Jennifer Coolidge Reflects On Her 'The White Lotus' Experience: 'The Ride Of A Lifetime'
The second season of The White Lotus may be over but its lasting effect on pop culture as we know it today has only begun. Following the record high 4.1 million U.S. viewers its finale episode received back on December 11, the critically-acclaimed HBO/HBO Max series has already been renewed for a much-anticipated third season and remains a major hot topic all across social media.
The White Lotus season two had captivating performances from its sharp ensemble cast of multi-generational actors, but it is hard to argue that actress Jennifer Coolidge as the unpredictable heiress Tanya McQuoid has reigned as the fan-favorite personality over these past two seasons.
Coolidge, 61, recently sat down with me after filming the entirety of season two (season one took place and was filmed in Hawaii), as we discussed how her Tanya, of all characters, received a continuing story arc from the clever mind of The White Lotus creator Mike White on a brand new continent.
Recalling her initial phone call with White after season one about Tanya, Coolidge reveals, "He says, 'Now, I'd like to take the next step of her relationship with [her husband] Greg and see where that goes in the story.' I was like, 'Okay.' He goes, 'We are going to shoot in Sicily.' I was thrilled getting to tell the story over there."
As much as Coolidge's character Tanya had quite the adventure on-screen with The White Lotus, the longtime actress also had quite the memorable adventure off-screen in 2022, winning her first Emmy back on September 12 for her outstanding season one performance. Knowing that her Emmy acceptance speech was unfortunately cut short, I wondered if the Emmy winner might have anyone else she would like to thank that she did not get to say live on-stage during the Emmys telecast.
"Yes, many people – it would be about an hour and a half," jokes Coolidge. "I'm glad you said that. You know who didn't get – of course, you say everybody and who's the last person I would thank? Mike White! If you end the whole monologue, you would end it with Mike White. I hope I get that chance sometime to just talk about Mike White – just about he sort of changed my life in an instant."
When I playfully brought up that it was an instrumental version of the song "Hit the Road Jack" that ultimately played Coolidge off the stage on her big night earlier this year, she says with a laugh, "I'm going to get revenge! I'm going to have my Carrie moment."
Without spoiling the end of The White Lotus season two and the fate of Coolidge's character Tanya for anyone who has not watched it yet, another Emmy nomination seems almost imminent for this wildly in-demand Hollywood star after witnessing the hilarious yet shocking series of events of this past season.
As I began to conclude my conversation with Coolidge, she took a moment to reflect on her two seasons aboard The White Lotus, as she is able to see the silver lining within her character's troubled life.
"I have to say, Mike told me that this next one would be quite an adventure," continues Coolidge. "He said, 'It's going to be quite the roller coaster ride.' It is the ride of a lifetime and I got to play this incredible part and play this very complicated, tortured person. You do see Tanya's evolution. You see her as best as someone like that could be, who is so limited in so many ways. A small thing is a big deal for someone who's that self-obsessed and damaged. Sometimes, that little thing is just a huge victory."
As for that ending everyone is still talking about, Coolidge is getting the final word, sharing with me the message she as Tanya would say to her "aloof" on-screen husband Greg after everything that has happened over these two seasons – "You've made a terrible mistake!"

Q: What's the best way to make a heart & butt in LaTex? I want to use the symbol for heart  (e.g.♥) and butt (i.e. the flipped version) in LaTex. I have the heart but I need the butt.
Two ideas occurred to me:

*

*Find a butt symbol

*If none exists, flip the heart.

I couldn't accomplish either one. Could someone either find a butt symbol or explain how to flip the heart?

Disney star Cameron Boyce passes away at 20 after a seizure
Cameron Boyce, who is known for his roles in the TV show Jessie and movies like Grown Ups (2010) and Descendants (2015) has sadly passed away at the ripe age of just 20. A spokesperson for Boyce's family issued a statement revealing that the cause of death was a seizure.
Written By Pinkvilla Desk 105125 reads Mumbai Updated: July 8, 2019 06:12 pm
Cameron Boyce had starred in movies like Grown Ups (2010) and Descendants (2015).
In some major upsetting news, Disney star Cameron Boyce has passed away at the ripe age of just 20. You will remember the actor as having played Adam Sandler's son in Grown Ups (2010). His other memorable roles include the TV show Jessie and the movie, Descendants (2015), amongst others. A spokesperson for Cameron's family has issued a statement to CNN regarding the cause of death. Cameron passed away in his sleep after a seizure, which was a result of an ongoing medical condition, for which the actor was receiving treatment.
"The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him. We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother," Cameron's family wrote in honour of their loved one, who went away too soon. Adam Sandler took to Instagram to pay a heartfelt tribute to his onscreen son.
Too young. Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around. Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world. Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.

On the other hand, Joey King tweeted, "To Cameron Boyce; To hear of your passing has completely shaken me. My little cousins always asked if I knew u so I could introduce them. Your work inspired people & provided happiness as did your light from within. I hope you Rest In Peace. You touched a lot of peoples hearts."

German Nuclear Power Plant Found to Be Just Rotten With Malware
None of the infections posed an immediate threat, but you can only get lucky so many times.
By Eric Limer
CC BY-SA 3.0/Felix König
It's one thing to wind up with some malware and viruses on your laptop. It's another to wind up with that stuff on your local neighborhood nuclear power plant. As it turns out, Germany's Gundremmingen station is in exactly that position, and while the infections don't pose an immediate threat, their presence isn't exactly comforting given what it suggests about infrastructure security on the whole.
As Reuters reports, viruses with names like "W32.Ramnit" and "Conficker" where found in a computer system that deals with data visualization related to equipment that moves actual nuclear fuel rods, and at least 18 removable drives like USB sticks that were being used at the facility.
The Age of Hacker-Caused Blackouts Is Upon Us
If that sounds bad that's because it is, but a few things kept this from being an actual disaster. For one, the system the viruses were found on was not connected to the internet, so the malware couldn't phone home to the remote systems that control it. The system was likely contaminated through the use of bad USB sticks, which is also how the famous and dangerous Stuxnet made its way into centrifuges used to refine uranium. Perhaps more importantly, these viruses were not actually designed to target a nuclear power plant in particular. Instead they were more all-purpose viruses intended to steal personal data and hijack the average laptop. These viruses were likely too dumb to realize they were anywhere special.
Of course that's a cold comfort, the technological equivalent of leaving your door wide open and just getting lucky that the thieves who wandered in didn't realize there was anything particularly good to steal. The German utility RWE said it increased its cyber security measures as a result, and it better have! Incidents in Ukraine have already shown that hackers could potentially cause blackouts when they attack a power plant on purpose, and who knows what else might be possible if it's a nuclear one.
A report by Popular Mechanics in 2009 found that infrastructure in the United States was vulnerable to attack by hackers, and while it's been a good seven years since then, incidents like this don't do a whole ton into instill confidence that much has changed. Cybersecurity is hard, especially on sprawling, aging networks where the funding to beef up security can oftentimes only be found after something has already gone wrong. Hopefully those warning shots will continue to be fairly harmless events like these, and not something much more serious.

A very close friend of mine got married this weekend, and I had told the girls that if time permitted, I would draw caricatures of them before the ceremony. Well, as weddings are hectic by nature, that didn't end up working out. Therefore, in honor of a lovely weekend with new and old friends, I decided to sketch us all anyway.


Life's a party at the Bulgarian Embassy in London… until the new ambassador arrives.
A concert to celebrate Bulgaria joining the EU is planned and it is new ambassador Varadin's job to ensure the Queen attends. But what with corrupt staff, criminal gangs in the kitchen, a very dodgy PR firm dealing in royal look-alikes and falling in love with a stripper… his simple task turns into a chaotic nightmare.


On 9/11, I was working at Mercer in Atlanta. I was so saddened by the news of the loss of so many of our MMC colleagues in NYC. On the anniversary I visit the MMC tribute page to read about one of my lost colleagues. Carol sounds like a warm, caring woman who touched so many lives. May she always be remembered.
It was a hot 95 degree July day when I met Carol. She came for a studio visit, since I had inquired about exhibiting my paintings at St. Francis of Assisi church. I'll never forget opening my door and meeting her - she said : 'Hi I'm Carol, would you like a coke?' She had 2 cold sodas in her hands. Who does that? Someone so mindful as Carol! She thought no less of our community at St. Francis, always helpful - with snacks for parishioners after mass and many events, too many to list where she helped. She was also a lector at mass and manager of St Francis' art group, which has since disbanded. She was an artist and poet as well. After 9/11, several temporary memorials circulated around NYC that year. One of them used a melted steel beam from the World Trade Center and it was placed in Madison Square Garden. I was surprised to see so many notes from New Yorkers thanking Carol from the bottom of their hearts. I wish Carol knew how much she was loved. I will never forget her kindness and good heart.
I am the lady that bought the flag in Lubbock, TX. I try to remember Carol Ann every 9/11. My thoughts were with you all day although I never met you. Remembering you again on 9/11.
I remember when I joined Marsh in March of 1998. Carol made sure I was all setup. She was very pleasant and sweet even when I would run into her on the streets for some strange reason. My heart dropped when I heard the horrible news. I will alway rember you.
I remember your open and friendly personality that always made me feel welcome. Your kindness and warmth has remained with me as a vivid image from the last day I saw you in the office...to this. God bless you.
I was an intern at Marsh & Mclennan during college and Carol was one of the first people I met. There was always something so warm and sweet about her, and she always started my days off with a lovely smile and morning greeting. Carol was always helpful and kind, and I looked forward to seeing her every day. My mother came to visit me at work once and talked with Carol while waiting for me to come out to the lobby. Even meeting her for just 5 minutes, she commented on what a nice lady Carol was. I couldn't agree more. I still worked in 1WTC on 9/11/2001 but for another company. My thoughts immediately flashed to my coworkers from MMC, and the realization that they were gone. My heart fell when I searched and saw Carol's name amoung the lost. I remember Carol every year at this time, and other moments in my life as well. My heart goes out to her family and friends during this time and always. She was a wonderful person, a terrible loss, and will be missed.
On 09/15/03 I wrote the following: On 09/11/03, American State Bank in Lubbock, TX placed 3000+ flags off Indiana Ave. each to represent the victims of 9/11. The public was given the option to purchase a flag. My daughter and I purchased a flag and received Carol Ann LaPlante certificate to honor her. My daughter and I would like to learn more about Carol Ann if at all possible email us at lydiamhernandez@msn.com Lydia Hernandez, 9/15/2003 5:49:28 PM' Today, I came to give my yearly tribute to Carol, I cannot express how much I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences with her. Her and I would have been good friends. To know that she as full of humility and a meek heart delights me in a way that is hard to express. I like that she carried gloves...my daughter and I live in Kansas City, and in her honor I will carry gloves this winter to give to the needy. What a wonderful idea. Thank you Jeanne M. Kavinski for sharing about your sister. God bless Carol Ann's family. Lydia Hernandez 09/11/08.
Everyone who has written, thank you for your remembrances, this the sixth year since our dear Carol Ann returned to her precious Lord Jesus Christ. Carol Ann, Our Saint in Heaven, please intercede in prayer for us who remain.
Carol and I went to St. Ephrem's elementary school and then again to St. Joseph's Commercial high school. Although there were 11 freshmen classes, Carol and I were not in the same class. We traveled every day by bus and train going and coming home. I always enjoyed our time together. May you rest in peace with God and his angels.
I did a quilt block for Carol for the Unitedin Memory Quilt Project. I always pray for her and remember her family whenever I think of 9-11. I would just like to offer my sympathy and prayers, once again, to her family.
On 9/11/03, my daughter and I purchased a flag in Lubbock, TX in honor of Carol. Today, is 9/9/06 and I am remembering her again. Thank you for posting information about Ms. Carol. We will honor her again on 9/11/06. God bless the family of Carol and I know she now looks down upon us.
Remembering you on this day. My condolences to your friends and family. I'm sure you will be missed by all who knew you. Rest assured that you will not be forgotten.
Carol was my Admin on the 97th floor. She was a wonderful woman. Always ready to help and worked hard. She had a good sense of humor and a nice laugh. I miss Carol's smile in the office. My condolences to her family.

Finally, the rumors have turned into reality – it is now confirmed that HTC and Google will be launching a special version of the HTC One smartphone that will run on a stock version of Android. Its official that after the Samsung Galaxy S4, even the HTC One will be running on stock Android.
The official announcement was made by Sundar Pichai, the senior vice president for Android at Google. In fact, he was the one who confirmed the rumor of a new HTC One that will be running on stock Android at his interview at the D11 conference. The interesting part is that this device will be officially launched on Google Play on the 26th of June alongside the Google Galaxy S4, but the difference is that the Galaxy S4 will be priced at $649 whereas the HTC One will be priced at $599.
This new version of HTC One running on stock Android will have 32GB of internal storage space, an unlockable bootloader, and will also be SIM-unlocked and can be used with GSM networks like T-Mobile and AT&T. The device goes on sale on the same day as the stock Samsung Galaxy S4. As of now, this device will only be available in the United States.

Жайме Лернер (; 17 декабря 1937, Куритибе, Бразилия — 27 мая 2021) — бразильский архитектор и государственный деятель. Известен как проектировщик городов. Занимал пост губернатора штата Парана в южной Бразилии. Трижды был мэром города Куритиба, столицы Параны, — в 1971—1975, 1979—1984 и 1989—1992 годах. В 1994 году был избран губернатором Параны и переизбран в 1998 г.

В 2002—2005 годах занимал пост президента Международного союза архитекторов. Прославился модернизацией города Куритиба.

Биография
Лернер родился в еврейской семье, переехавшей из Польши (Лодзь) в Куритибу. В 1964 г. он окончил школу архитектуры федерального университета Параны. В 1965 он помогал в создании института городского планирования и исследований Куритибы и участвовал в разработке генерального плана Куритибы.

Жайме Лернер был назначен мэром Куритибы как раз вовремя. В начале 70-х годов Куритибу душили бедность, грязь и огромные пробки из-за большого количества узких улиц-трущоб.

Приступив к должности мэра в 1971 году, Жайме Лернер организовал блестящую программу по очищению города от мусора: мешки с отходами обменивались на еду, товары первой необходимости или проездные документы на транспорт. Рыбакам стали платить за выловленный мусор, а в школе появилось экологическое образование детей.

Чтобы разгрузить Куритибу от машин, Лернер превратил центральную улицу города в пешеходную и создал известную теперь на весь мир скоростную автобусную систему.

Поймы вдоль берегов рек вокруг города мэр-архитектор превратил в парки, где главными газонокосильщиками стали овцы.

Жайме Лернер занимал пост мэра Куритибы трижды: с 1971 по 1975, с 1979 по 1984 и с 1989 по 1992-й. Его главное правило: город — это не проблема, а решение.

Работы
Публикации Лернера включают такие работы, как:
 Acupuntura urbana (Editora Record, ISBN 8501068519, 2003)
 O vizinho: parente por parte de rua (Editora Record, ISBN 8501068772, 2005)

Награды
Лернер завоевал множество бразильских и международных призов:

 1990: United Nations Environmental Award, награждён программой ООН по окружающей среде (UNEP)
 1990: Ежегодный приз от International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC)
 1991: Scroll of Honor, Программа ООН по населённым пунктам, 1991
 1991: Tree of Learning, IUCN, 1991
 1996: Child and Peace Award, UNICEF
 1997: Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal in Architecture, Университет Виргинии
 2000: Prince Claus Award, the Netherlands (2000)
 2001: Pioneer 2001, International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC-USA)
 2001: 2001 World Technology Award for Transportation, National Museum of Science and Industry, UK

Club debutant Brenko Lee believes the stars have aligned ahead of his first match with so many things in his favour.
"It's up in Brisbane, I'm a Brissie boy, I'm indigenous, it's Indigenous Round and it's my club debut, it couldn't get any bigger," Lee said.
The Logan product reached out over the pre-season about the prospect of returning home and Coach Garth Brennan snapped him up as soon as he became available. A knee injury during the first trial match against the Broncos halted his start to the season but Lee can't wait to add to his 33 NRL game tally.
"I am excited. Everything happens for a reason but it wasn't ideal getting injured in the trial.
"I've had three games game back at Burleigh and I've done everything I can to get back.
"I just need to take this opportunity with both hands. The Coach wants me to take it easy but at the end of the day I need to take the opportunity and if I don't take it, when will I."
Adding to the challenge is the fact the Titans are desperate for a win and face a tough opposition in the fourth-placed Storm, with defence continuing to be a focus.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge but every team is a challenge these days and if you're not on your game you'll get towelled up.
"I think it's an attitude thing (the defence), if you've got that right you can defend well. We play NRL, we can all tackle. I think we're just lacking a bit with the attitude.
"You don't go out there to perform bad. If we all do our best for the team, we'll go a long way to winning. We do need a win."

The Detroit area MGOCSM organized and hosted the twelfth annual MGOCSM of North America Leadership Camp from July 25-28 at the campus of Alma College in Alma, Michigan. A select group of emerging leaders from parishes across the United States and Canada gathered to receive specialized training and inspirational messages in order to serve as future leaders of the Church in their areas.
The theme for this year's camp was, "Alter Your Perception" and was designed to encourage the participants to shake off their misconceptions and strive to be active leaders in their communities. The main speaker was Fr. Paul Girguis, pastor of St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Washington, DC. Along with him, Ms. Ceena Varghese, resource coordinator in the Department of Youth Ministries for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, and Fr. Christopher Mathew, youth minister for the Chicago area, led workshops on living as faithful leaders. Several priests, deacons, seminarians, and clergy wives served as group leaders to facilitate discussion in small breakout groups. In addition to the speaking sessions and workshops, the camp participants were given the opportunity to see an "interactive wax museum," which is a dramatized reenactment of the lives and martyrdom of certain saints of the Malankara Church. During the last night of the camp, participants were able to engage in a retreat that offered confession, chanting/meditation, Bible reading, counseling, and singing devotional songs.
The camp also provided the opportunity for delegates representing every parish in both North American dioceses of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church to meet in the annual united general assembly of MGOCSM of North America. The general assembly is the time when the managing council of MGOCSM of North America presents a status report on the projects and finances of the organization to all the delegates.;
MGOCSM of North America provides these annual camps to train and encourage young people to become leaders in their areas. This is a fruitful ministry that has led to many people becoming priests, deacons, and lay leaders who serve Christ through leadership and ministry.

Le Grand Montarnu est un sommet du massif du Morvan, situé sur le territoire de la commune d'Arleuf, dans la Nièvre en France. Son flanc oriental est partagé avec Roussillon-en-Morvan, en Saône-et-Loire. Il s'élève à  d'altitude, ce qui en fait le point culminant de la Nièvre.

Géographie

Le sommet du Grand Montarnu est situé à  au nord du Haut-Folin, le point le plus élevé du Morvan et de la Saône-et-Loire (), et à  au nord-nord-est du mont Préneley, second sommet de la Nièvre en altitude () et qui domine les sources de l'Yonne, affluent de la Seine.

Il constitue un chaînon, appelé chaîne du Grand Montarnu, couvert par deux massifs forestiers à peu près de contenance égale et qui se prolonge vers l'est et le sud par le bois de Folin et la forêt de Saint-Prix jusqu'au Haut-Folin, dans le département de Saône-et-Loire. Le chaîne du Grand Montarnu comporte deux forêts : la forêt du Grand Montarnu sur le versant est et la forêt du Petit Montarnu () sur le versant ouest.

Carrière de fer

Dans la forêt du Grand Montarnu, des gisements de pyrite, peut-être déjà exploités par les Éduens, sont exploités au cours des années 1840 et 1850. La carrière est découverte par le géologue Hippolyte Marlot en 1910. Il subsiste aujourd'hui les traces des excavations.

A very low time pilot utilized poor decision making skills and created an emergency situation during which he descended through clouds after getting caught on top of a solid layer.
I informed the WX briefers that I was looking for a VFR route between or around the clouds and precipitation. They informed me that VFR flight was not recommended due to MVFR conditions, but that if I were going to try it, traveling west between bands of clouds and rain via valdosta and tallahassee looked like it could work. Conditions were also forecast to improve by XF00. I departed jax solo (my wife and children were to follow in a rental car in case I was unable to make the flight under VFR and had to land and leave the plane for someone else to pick up) and headed west after leaving jax airspace. I contacted ZJX for flight following. The ceiling gradually dropped and center informed me that I was no longer in radar contact and flight following was terminated. (This was the first indication that I should have aborted the flight.) I continued under VFR into the area of lower ceilings. Dark clouds and low ceilings to the north around valdosta prevented me from reaching the airports in the area. (This was the second indication that I should have aborted the flight.) I continued westward expecting conditions to improve farther to the west. I found a hole in the overcast and climbed above hoping to be able to get beyond the area with clouds and rain. After 2 hours of flight with no airports at which I could land, I informed ZJX of my situation: VFR over the top of an overcast layer with 90-120 mins of fuel remaining, no VFR landing sites nearby, and that I wanted to declare an emergency. I started a climb to approximately 10000 ft and reduced power to 55% to conserve fuel. Center worked with flight service and found VFR conditions to the south and to the east. Cloud tops looked higher to the south and to the west, so I chose the easterly route toward savannah. Center provided heading and distance information. Center then informed me that ags was VFR and closer to my position, and again provided heading and distance information. I proceeded toward ags but encountered cloud tops higher than my altitude, and informed the center controller of my situation. I began an emergency descent through the undercast and broke out at approximately 3000 ft and continued my descent to approximately 2000 ft into VFR conditions about 15-20 mi from ags airport. The lure of improving conditions and clear WX to the west were factors in both initiating and continuing the flight. Other factors included the desire to get home, and the inconvenience and expense of having the club aircraft being ferried back to mgy.
Title: A VERY LOW TIME PLT UTILIZED POOR DECISION MAKING SKILLS AND CREATED AN EMER SIT DURING WHICH HE DSNDED THROUGH CLOUDS AFTER GETTING CAUGHT ON TOP OF A SOLID LAYER.
Narrative: I INFORMED THE WX BRIEFERS THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR A VFR RTE BTWN OR AROUND THE CLOUDS AND PRECIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT VFR FLT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO MVFR CONDITIONS, BUT THAT IF I WERE GOING TO TRY IT, TRAVELING W BTWN BANDS OF CLOUDS AND RAIN VIA VALDOSTA AND TALLAHASSEE LOOKED LIKE IT COULD WORK. CONDITIONS WERE ALSO FORECAST TO IMPROVE BY XF00. I DEPARTED JAX SOLO (MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE TO FOLLOW IN A RENTAL CAR IN CASE I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE FLT UNDER VFR AND HAD TO LAND AND LEAVE THE PLANE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO PICK UP) AND HEADED W AFTER LEAVING JAX AIRSPACE. I CONTACTED ZJX FOR FLT FOLLOWING. THE CEILING GRADUALLY DROPPED AND CTR INFORMED ME THAT I WAS NO LONGER IN RADAR CONTACT AND FLT FOLLOWING WAS TERMINATED. (THIS WAS THE FIRST INDICATION THAT I SHOULD HAVE ABORTED THE FLT.) I CONTINUED UNDER VFR INTO THE AREA OF LOWER CEILINGS. DARK CLOUDS AND LOW CEILINGS TO THE N AROUND VALDOSTA PREVENTED ME FROM REACHING THE ARPTS IN THE AREA. (THIS WAS THE SECOND INDICATION THAT I SHOULD HAVE ABORTED THE FLT.) I CONTINUED WESTWARD EXPECTING CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE FARTHER TO THE W. I FOUND A HOLE IN THE OVCST AND CLBED ABOVE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO GET BEYOND THE AREA WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN. AFTER 2 HRS OF FLT WITH NO ARPTS AT WHICH I COULD LAND, I INFORMED ZJX OF MY SIT: VFR OVER THE TOP OF AN OVCST LAYER WITH 90-120 MINS OF FUEL REMAINING, NO VFR LNDG SITES NEARBY, AND THAT I WANTED TO DECLARE AN EMER. I STARTED A CLB TO APPROX 10000 FT AND REDUCED PWR TO 55% TO CONSERVE FUEL. CTR WORKED WITH FLT SVC AND FOUND VFR CONDITIONS TO THE S AND TO THE E. CLOUD TOPS LOOKED HIGHER TO THE S AND TO THE W, SO I CHOSE THE EASTERLY RTE TOWARD SAVANNAH. CTR PROVIDED HDG AND DISTANCE INFO. CTR THEN INFORMED ME THAT AGS WAS VFR AND CLOSER TO MY POS, AND AGAIN PROVIDED HDG AND DISTANCE INFO. I PROCEEDED TOWARD AGS BUT ENCOUNTERED CLOUD TOPS HIGHER THAN MY ALT, AND INFORMED THE CTR CTLR OF MY SIT. I BEGAN AN EMER DSCNT THROUGH THE UNDERCAST AND BROKE OUT AT APPROX 3000 FT AND CONTINUED MY DSCNT TO APPROX 2000 FT INTO VFR CONDITIONS ABOUT 15-20 MI FROM AGS ARPT. THE LURE OF IMPROVING CONDITIONS AND CLR WX TO THE W WERE FACTORS IN BOTH INITIATING AND CONTINUING THE FLT. OTHER FACTORS INCLUDED THE DESIRE TO GET HOME, AND THE INCONVENIENCE AND EXPENSE OF HAVING THE CLUB ACFT BEING FERRIED BACK TO MGY.


The Second Dalai Lama, Gedun Gyatso, was born in 1476 at Tanak, near Shigatse in the Tsang region of central Tibet, to Kunga Gyaltso and Machik Kunga Pemo, a farming family. His father was a well-known tantric practitioner belonging to the Nyingma-Pa sect.
When Gedun Gyatso was able to speak, he was reported to have told his parents that his name was Pema Dorjee, the birth name of the First Dalai Lama, and that he would like to live in Tashi Lhunpo monastery.
When he was conceived, his father had a dream in which someone dressed in white appeared and told him to name his son Gendun Drupa and also said that his son would be a person with the ability to recollect his past lives. However, his father named him Sangye Phel.
He received his primary education from his father, and then at the age of eleven he was recognized as the reincarnation of Gendun Drupa, the first Dalai Lama, and was enthroned at Tashi Lhunpo monastery.
In 1486, he took his novice vows from Panchen Lungrig Gyatso and his vows of Gelung (full ordination) from Choje Choekyi Gyaltsen, who gave him the ordination name Gedun Gyatso. He studied at Tashi Lhunpo and Drepung monasery.
In 1517, Gedun Gyatso became the abbot of Drepung Monastery, and in the following year he revived the Monlam Chenmo, the Great Prayer Festival, and presided over the events with monks from Sera, Drepung, and Gaden, the three great monastic Universities of the Gelugpa Sect.
In 1525, he became the abbot of Sera Monastery.
He died at the age of sixty-seven in 1542.

Q: DataGridView First Column Always Bigger I am trying to make the first row of the DataGridView to be bigger. I tried to use OnScroll but it does not always hit the mark. Is there a change row first index event that I can use in place of OnScroll?
private int lastRow = -1;
private void dgvN_Scroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs e)
{
    int firstVisibleRow = dgvN.HitTest(dgvN.RowTemplate.MinimumHeight,
        dgvN.RowHeadersWidth).RowIndex;

    if (lastRow != firstVisibleRow && firstVisibleRow != -1)
    {
        dgvN.Rows[firstVisibleRow].Height = 50;
        if (lastRow != -1)
        {
            dgvN.Rows[lastRow].Height = 20;
        }
        lastRow = firstVisibleRow;
    }
}

A: Change
int firstVisibleRow = dgvN.HitTest(dgvN.RowTemplate.MinimumHeight,
    dgvN.RowHeadersWidth).RowIndex;

to
int firstVisibleRow = dgvN.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex;

(at least, I think this is the behavior you want based on how your code behaved when pasted into my test project and your comment about "it does not always hit the mark")


"One-time events create change like dieting only on your birthday and expecting to lose weight."
"Pride and Joy" by Alex Knight is a Theory of Constraints business novel about a hospital in chaos and a way of thinking that can help move beyond the chaos to a truly patient-centric, high quality environment.
Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business has a lot of familiar material in it. Duhigg puts it together in a compelling story that talks about why we get stuck in ruts - in personal life and in business life - and the paths to breaking out of the rut.
After the TOC ICO conference, I picked up Yuji Kishira's Wa - Transformation Management by Harmony, based on a conversation with him and other attendees. It is a fun take on Theory of Constraints, change management and other topics.
I read Bob Sproull's _Epiphanized_ in just a few days and found it told a gripping story of TOC transformation, even if the writing style was sometimes off-putting.
Are you starting your change effort with a focus on evolution or on revolution? How does this impact your way of thinking about the change you need to create? How does it impact your thinking about other change efforts?

The Buzz on Soda History
TexaCola isn't the first soda. But it does have a cool history.
Ah, soda. For as long as you can remember, soda has been there for you. Thirsty on a hot summer day? Have some lone vanilla ice cream that could really use some oomph? Enjoying a delicious meal and need something to wash it down? You already know you're reaching for a bubbly ice-cold soda. But have you ever wondered what had to go down to get that bottle to your table? Buckle up for this ride.
Our story begins in 1767 when a European man named Joseph Priestly figured out how to infuse water with carbon dioxide, creating the first carbonated beverage. Back then people believed carbonated water cured illnesses so "soda" was sold in pharmacies. Pharmacists would mix prescriptions into soda to make it easier for the patients to take.
It wasn't until the creation of root beer in 1876 that soda began to evolve into a drink option. Cola flavored soda entered the market shortly after in 1881. Dr Pepper was created in 1885 and believed to be the first soda as we know it today followed by Coca-Cola one year later.
The story doesn't end there; there have been many modifications to the way soda has been enjoyed between its invention and today. In 1892, Baltimore shop owner William Painter created the crown cork bottle seal to keep carbon dioxide bubbles from escaping the bottle. In 1902, the first vending machines were set up in U.S. providing an easy way for Americans to have access to soda. The state of the soda market dramatically shifted in the 1950s with the creation of the easy-to-open soda can.
The love of soda is still very much alive today seeing that America spends approximately $65 billion in soda a year. So whether you're drinking it from the bottle, mixing it in your whiskey, pouring it over your ice cream, or using it to get rust off your engine, we can all appreciate the contributions made throughout the years to get it into our hands.

The NFL and NBA are at the root of Perry Farrell's vision for the future of music. Acknowledging he had not fully thought out the idea, the Jane's Addiction singer said the industry needs to support young musicians from an early age, creating musical opportunities for youths like Little League baseball and Pop Warner football.
"If music was run like the sports industries, the NBA or the NFL, we would have a healthy school system," Farrell said Thursday during the keynote Q&A at the Billboard Touring Conference at the Roosevelt Hotel. "We could put together Super Bowls. We don't have anything like this in music (but could) if we could organize ourselves. Jerry Jones has a stadium and he entertains with a football team."
Farrell's belief is that by creating scenes through youth organizations -- and having a professional level that pumps money into the systems for youngsters -- those kids in Texas who dream of playing for the Dallas Cowboys one day might also consider a career in music. It is, he said, part of a solution for a music industry that is as broken as American politics.
"We could do this thing around the world," Farrell said. "God makes musicians. That raw talent will always be there, there has to be the right opportunity to flourish and blossom."
Breaking down barriers through Lollapalooza and being at the epicenter of L.A.'s alternative music scene of the late 1980s in Jane's Addiction were discussed at length with Billboard editorial director Bill Werde at the session.
Farrell, whose earliest singing gigs were as an imitator of David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Frank Sinatra, became involved in the punk rock scene by what he called "circumstances that were absolutely perfect." Once he landed in Jane's Addiction -- and a growing number of people said they were a band that had to be seen -- "I took it really serious," he said. "I rewound to the Beatles and the Stones. They were able to change the world."
For Farrell, that meant paying attention to how they conducted themselves, their work ethic and they way they pledged allegiance to their influences. "It was is important to wear the names of our favorite bands on our backs. It's sad they don't do that anymore."
Lollapalooza grew out of Farrell's concert organizing efforts in the desert that involved bands such as Sonic Youth, the Meat Puppets and Redd Kross. "We called it Desolation center -- no bouncers, no fences, no urinals." A successful touring festival, Farrell contended that it shut down due to political reasons. Farrell's plan prior to the Bush-Kerry election was to involve the political activism organization MoveOn.org, which the concert-promotion behemoth Clear Channel opposed due to its numerous relationships with President Bush's camp.
"The week before before we were to start, a big phone call went out nationwide with (a promoter) saying we're not going to pay these guys," Farrell said. "It was the worst moment of my life outside of my parents dying. It got even worse. Right after that my band says they're leaving too - to create a band called Panic Channel."
The festival's revival in Chicago, Farrell said, owed to the involvement of people from Austin City Limits. "I'm forever indebted to Charlie Jones," he said.
Next year's edition is in the booking stage and Farrell participates in weekly discussions about acts and possible aesthetic and strategic changes to the show in Chicago's Grant Park.
"We do have bands I don't like," Farrell admitted. "But there are lot more slots available" than back when he was making the booking decisions, "and my taste is not the only taste. If I feel somebody really does not belong, I'll speak up... but (the bookers) are so sophisticated because they have Austin and they see all these groups. They're ahead of me -- they turn me onto music."

Q: Is it required to add @Singleton on top of a function using dagger hilt if the module scope is already singleton? In the below code, I have a module where I call @InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class). So the scope of this module is the application scope or singleton scope))
If I'll provide something inside the module, do I need to annotate that function with singleton as well?

A: Yes you have to annotate that function with singleton as well.
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
means that you may use singleton in your @Provides functions, without it you can't make your @Provides functions singleton. In hilt @Provides functions have no-scope by default so if you don't annotate your @Provides function with singleton, every time it will return new object.
you can easily test my answer with below code
var count = 0

class TestingClass() {
    init {
        count++
    }

    fun printCount() = println("count: $count")
}

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
class TestModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton // without this count will increase every time you inject TestingClass
    fun provideTestClass(): TestingClass {
        return TestingClass()
    }
}

Maisons du Monde, a specialist in furniture and furnishings from around the world, has enjoyed exceptional growth since its founding in 1996. Within 15 years, the company has grown from just a single store to 225, is now present across Europe and employs 3000 people. In 2012, company revenues reached 75 million euros. 2006 marked a major turning point for Maisons du Monde as it went online with the launch of an exciting new e-commerce website "Maisonsdumonde" in 13 countries.
Today Maisons du Monde's online sales represent a significant share of its total revenue, with double-digit growth since its launch. All online sales are managed by a 30-strong multidisciplinary team fully dedicated to ensuring that the site operates smoothly.
However, its undisputed success meant Maisons du Monde must face up to the technical challenges which arise with escalating volumes of online traffic. The website must be able to handle massive and unpredictable surges in traffic and pages must load quickly. Staff need to be able to view site traffic in real time and be notified of problems in a timely fashion.
Maisons du Monde realized that the load-balancing infrastructure they have been using would no longer be capable of handling the expected loads. With dynamic load balancing a prerequisite for ensuring scalable access to their e-commerce platform, Maison Du Monde selected Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager, and Pulse Secure Web Accelerator speeds up web content served across networks regardless of access device and browser. Together they provide improved application performance and a more responsive service for visitors to the site.
"Pulse Secure met our needs in terms of site availability, easy navigation and visibility. It is vital that we know where our traffic is coming from and to be able to identify peak activity times as well as any problems that may arise. "Pulse Secure was always on hand, proactive and knowledgeable and this helped the project to run smoothly," explained Lionel Touati, Maisons du Monde's online sales technical director.
Following initial testing, the deployment took place within a tight timescale but in time to cover the critical January promotional period.
Maisons du Monde quickly began to reap benefits from the 30–50% higher speeds they were now getting.
"The results were immediately apparent. With a faster website, the number of page views increased, which naturally led to higher conversion rates and an increase in orders," explained Lionel Touati.
A more streamlined administrative process, using graphical interfaces adapted to Maisons du Monde's needs, made a considerable difference to the user interface. Pulse Secure TrafficScript makes it possible to serve visitors the site in the appropriate language.
The company has also observed performance gains in production (traffic peaks of 500 Mb/s) and loading times (gains of 100 to 150 ms). The site no longer suffers from slowdowns and projects a better brand image to its visitors.
"We are extremely pleased with our choice of Pulse Secure solutions and the ROI is indisputable," declares Lionel Touati. "By using a cutting-edge, scalable solution like Pulse Secure across several data centers, we have reduced our response times. We can also manage our infrastructure better, we have a better view of our traffic, and we have the necessary tools and the ability to respond quickly in the event of problems. These benefits mean we can continue to grow by providing our customers with flawless, uninterrupted service—the key to success!" concludes Lionel Touati.
