Bringing clarity to code by lots of comments is not the Clean Code way of doing things, apparently. Comments have the disadvantage of being ignored by the assembler or compiler. Keeping them up to date is a manual process. And all manual processes will fail
Good labels are a better option.
The advantage of extracting small functions into macros is that you get better abstraction in higher level functions. In my example above, the function "clear_screen" contains mostly macro calls. It's possible to understand what they will do without looking at the macro. You get the big picture very quickly. And if you are interested in the details, you may look at the macro definition.
That said, I've never tried to program anything in this fashion. It would be interesting to do that.
Edited October 3, 2021 by Stefan
Another huge (IMO) benefit if macro based assembly is to avoid copy and paste programming. Say you have a number of functions to load different files. So you have JSR LOAD_FILE_X and JSR LOAD_FILE_Y and each of these are called only once. The code is practically identical in each. Why not wrap it in a macro?
!macro LDVFILE .file, .len, .addr {
LDX #0 ; ram block for file name
LDA #^.addr ; ram block for load address
JSR JSETBNK ; load to bank ^.addr from file named in current bank
LDA #.len ;LENGTH OF FILENAME
LDX #<.file
LDY #>.file
JSR SETNAM ;SETNAM A=FILE NAME LENGTH X/Y=POINTER TO FILENAME
LDA #$02
LDX #$08
LDY #$00
JSR SETLFS ;SETFLS A=LOGICAL NUMBER X=DEVICE NUMBER Y=SECONDARY
LDX #<.addr ;LOW BYTE FOR LOAD ADDRESS
LDY #>.addr ;HIGH BYTE FOR LOAD ADDRESS
JSR LOAD ;LOAD FILE A=0 FOR LOAD X/Y=LOAD ADDRESS
JSR CLOSE ;CLOSE FILE
This could be copied and pasted into multiple routines, but why? It is part of a loader so expanding the macro multiple times isn't harmful in this case, but the actual code becomes much easier to read.
+LDFILE file_a_addr, file_a_len, file_a_addr
+LDFILE file_b_addr, file_b_len, file_b_addr
+LDFILE file_c_addr, file_c_len, file_c_addr
+LDFILE file_d_addr, file_d_len, file_d_addr
+LDFILE file_e_addr, file_e_len, file_e_addr
+LDFILE file_f_addr, file_f_len, file_f_addr
Now, one must be careful. It is easy to get carried away with these and really bloat your code. Hence why the need for judgement and why there isn't a one size fits all approach. But I like looking at the latter example more that expands the macro six times rather than making six copies of the function and tweaking each to use custom parameters.
That doesn't mean I'm perfect and never copy and paste code. Sometimes you just want or need to get it done. Some will not like my use of macros.
Yeah, I tend to create a load of macros, as well. By the time I'm done, my programs are more macro than assembly.
Essentially, what this means is I'm making up my own programming language. And I'm fine with that.

I don't use macros at all; my editor doesn't have that feature. I can however copy and paste code.
On 10/3/2021 at 9:22 PM, Ed Minchau said:
In this case, the macros are part of the assembler. Even notepad can use assembler macros. If the assembler supports, them, that is.
Macros don't come from the editor. The assembler does that. Technically, it's part of the preprocessor, but most assemblers just integrate the preprocessor and the actual assembler.
So there's usually a MACRO statement, which you follow with assembly code, like this:
name    .macro
jsr print
.null "Hello @1!";first parameter
.endm
Source: http://tass64.sourceforge.net/#macro
Then you will invoke the macro, which replaces the macro call with the actual assembly:
#name "Tom"
Now you can use that anywhere in your code as a shorthand for a larger procedure. While this is obviously a trivial example, it's very useful for doing repetitive tasks, like setting up KERNAL calls or 16-bit math. For example:
Add16 (adds two 16 bit numbers and stores the result in the specified address)
Print (takes the address of a null-terminated string and prints that to the screen using CHROUT)
Open and Close (for file I/O)
While Add16 seems trivial, it's much easier to write something like Add16 Addr, 23 than to repeatedly write out the the several lines of code needed for a simple 16 bit add.
Another reason macros are useful over copypasta is that you can fix a bugged macro much more easily than dozens or hundreds of places in a program where you repeat a piece of code. If it turns out you forgot to clear the Carry flag before an add, and you pasted that 130 times, you'd have to fix 130 instances of your error. But if you make an Add16 macro, you can do it in the macro, then just re-assemble the program.

The problem for me is that I'm using the META/L editor, which is just a fancy monitor program with labels. There is no re-assembling the program, because all commands are converted into machine language as I type them. So, no macros.
Aha, a lot of people will assume you mean editing assembly language source (either a text editor or an assembler's IDE) when you refer to META/L as an "assembly editor".
The editing that is done is more directly editing the binary image, rather than editing assembly language source ... but OTOH it is not a classical binary editor, since it translated from assembly or character codes to binary.
If the clarification is that it's a fancy monitor with labels, that might be a better way to classify it ... the META/L monitor w/labels.
Ah. I think there's an assembler that runs on the Commander.... if there's not, I think it's high time we build one.

There is one hopefully going into the ROM (https://sites.google.com/view/x16asmenv/home), but the aim is to provide a simple tool. Macros not included.

I have written an 8080 assembler in c#... so I know I can write a simple assembler in c. The issue is, as you said, I've only got so many hours a day. Right now, I'm learning a new musical instrument, starting to arrange songs for a brass band, and working 50 hours a week... so I don't have a huge amount of free time either.
Still, I might see how hard it is to do... maybe the solution is to port over something like Turbo Assembler, which already runs on the Commodore 64.
On 10/4/2021 at 5:28 PM, BruceMcF said:
It's in sort of a weird space in between monitor and editor. I'm writing the code directly, and can use the labels as part of the parameters, but I can also insert and delete bytes as if I was making room in a text editor, and can copy or move code around. The mnemonics are slightly different from the standard notation, too.
On 10/5/2021 at 12:59 PM, TomXP411 said:
Perhaps a community-based group approach? I like many don't have a ton of free time, but there are many talented programmers here that perhaps could spend 2-3 hours a week on a group project.
My other suggestion is to extend the X16 Assembly Environment to support macros as an addition, rather than building a whole new tool or porting another design.
On 10/5/2021 at 1:56 PM, Edmond D said:
The X16 Assembly Environment isn't really an assembler. It's a replacement for the machine monitor. Just like you wouldn't write code with Supermon, you shouldn't be using the Assembly environment to write code: you might use it to enter already-written code, or to debug, but if you're writing a non-trivial piece of software, you need to be using a traditional assembler, not the X16AE.

I feel your pain. Except instead of music related stuff, it is learning about electronics, along with the 40+ hour work week and spending extra time helping with the Robots port to the 128. I'm glad to be doing it all! Just certain immutable laws of physics & biology preclude me doing much more at the moment.
I wouldn't consider being standard notation a critical issue ... heck, when the Z80 was created as a super-set of the 8080, Zilog used a quite different notation than the standard intel 8080 assembler notation.
Or "Assembly Binary Editor".
I think Zilog went that way of necessity, not desire, as Intel threatened legal action or some such.
On 10/5/2021 at 5:41 PM, Scott Robison said:
Intel claimed a Copyright on the mnemonics, which meant no one was allowed to use their names for their instructions. So even though the Z80 is 99% compatible with the 8080, Zilog had to make up their own names for the instructions.
Eventually, the courts ruled that re-implementing instruction set mnemonics and software APIs are fair use - ie, you can't sue someone for using the same mnemonics as you.
In other words, Zilog didn't need to go to the trouble.
It probably cost them a lot less to design new mnemonics than the fight the court case in the short term. Many a company has gone bankrupt due to legal fees even when they were right in the end.
I think I didn't make any claim that Zilog did it because just because they were really keen on the idea.
But the other example I had in mind is the classical FIG Forth 6502 assembler, with not only idiosyncratic mnemonics but also operand / instruction order.

FQHC Readiness and Practice Transformation Strategies
November 28, 2017 /in Policy Toolkits Chronic and Complex Populations, Cost, Payment, and Delivery Reform, Health Coverage and Access, Health IT/Data, Health System Costs, Medicaid Managed Care, Physical and Behavioral Health Integration, Primary Care/Patient-Centered/Health Home, Quality and Measurement, Safety Net Providers and Rural Health, Value-Based Purchasing Physical and Behavioral Health Integration /by NASHP Staff
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) designed this toolkit to support states interested in developing a value-based alternative payment methodology (APM) for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). The following section on FQHC readiness and practice transformation discusses key considerations and promising strategies based on lessons learned from states during NASHP's Value-Based Payment Reform Academy.
Key considerations for FQHC readiness and practice transformation include:
Engage the PCA to provide clinician and staff education, training, and resources.
Assess FQHC interest and readiness in the early stages of APM development.
To prepare for implementation, FQHCs will want to consider their short- and long-term financial, information technology (IT), and staff capacity.
For FQHCs, transitioning to a value-based APM often requires additional infrastructure and investment, such as enhanced IT and quality improvement capacity, as well as clinical and work flow changes, including team-based care, population-based management, and care coordination. FQHCs may also need to change how clinicians and other staff work together and with community partners to improve quality and efficiency.
While challenging, the transition to a value-based APM offers benefits to practices, including the opportunity to support team-based care models that can improve health care quality and enhance workforce retention and recruitment. Depending on staffing, IT capacity, and available financial resources, FQHCs will vary in how quickly they can transform their practices. FQHCs must individually agree to participate in an APM, so not all FQHCs in the state need to be ready to launch at the same time. States may find it beneficial to pilot an APM with a few FQHCs and refine the model as necessary.
PCAs are state or regional entities that provide training and technical assistance to safety net providers.[i] PCAs are an important partner for states, and serve as a conduit for outreach and education about value-based purchasing to FQHCs. PCAs can also assist states in assessing FQHC capacity to take on value-based APMs. For example, value-based payment has become a board-level priority for PCAs in both Colorado and Michigan and each has provided technical assistance to FQHCs on the topic. The PCA in Hawaii is also engaged in educating its members to increase understanding of value-based APM development and implementation.
The PCA can provide support to FQHCs as they transition to a value-based APM. The Oregon PCA developed the Advanced Care Model learning collaborative in partnership with FQHCs and the Medicaid agency to help FQHCs transition to the PMPM APM. As part of this learning collaborative, FQHCs have access to practice transformation and implementation support through on-site technical assistance, webinars, networking, and strategic planning.
Readiness Considerations for FQHCs
Does your FQHC have a vision for care delivery that cannot be reached under your current payment structure?
How will an APM free up your FQHC to provide more robust, patient-centered, and team-based care?
Is your leadership team stable?
Has your FQHC considered capacity to train staff on a new model of care delivery and workflows?
How much experience does your FQHC have with quality improvement and performance measurement?
Source: Laura Sisulak. "Clinic Readiness, Preparation, and Support." PowerPoint, National Academy for State Health Policy's Value Based Payment Reform Academy Closing Meeting, July 26, 2017.
Readiness assessments can help states identify which FQHCs have the capacity to take on a value-based APM, and also pinpoint where the state and PCA should provide technical assistance to help increase FQHC capacity. Several FQHC-specific readiness tools are available, including the NACHC Payment Reform Readiness Assessment Tool, the Health Management Associates Value-Based Payment Assessment Tool (developed in partnership with the District of Columbia, one of NASHP's Value-Based Payment Reform Academy states), and the University of Iowa Value-Based Care Assessment Tool, which was specifically developed for rural health providers.
To prepare for implementation, FQHCs will want to consider their short- and long-term financial, IT, and staff capacity.
In addition to having a clear vision for practice transformation, FQHCs should also assess financial readiness, IT capacity, and staffing needs.
FQHC participation criteria will be unique to each state, and depend on the structure of the APM. Both states and FQHCs may benefit from a participation agreement that clearly identifies the responsibilities of the state and of the FQHC.[ii]
Prior to adopting a value-based APM, FQHCs may assess:
Days cash on hand
Available financial resources to support necessary practice transformation efforts
Payer mix
Consider the number of Medicaid lives. It may be challenging to participate in payment reform if the FQHC serves fewer than 1,000 active Medicaid patients
Consider the amount of visit-based revenue the practice will continue to generate
Average Medicaid visits per patient, per year
Stability of historical utilization
Stability/predictability of patient population
Low visit rate per patient, per year
Because FQHC participation in any value-based APM is voluntary under Section 1902(bb) of the Social Security Act,[iii] FQHCs may revert back to PPS if participation causes them financial distress. States will want to have a process for exiting the program without financial hardship or impact on patient care.
Data and Health IT
States and FQHCs require accurate, timely data to calculate practice performance on quality and/or cost targets. States will typically use claims or encounter data to calculate measures tied to payment but may require additional reporting from FQHCs on outcome-based quality measures or other types of clinic-based measures. As FQHCs take on more advanced value-based APMs, they will need robust health IT and analytics capacity to support quality improvement initiatives, perform population health management activities, maintain attribution lists, facilitate coordinated care, and report data as required by state participation agreements. Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCNs)—groups of health centers working together to address health information technology challenges—are active in 38 states[iv] and are used by about 70 percent of health centers.[v] Partnership with a HCCN may help to leverage limited FQHC resources, and provide technical assistance, particularly related to data analysis to support quality measure and improvement.[vi]
Participation in a value-based APM requires FQHC leadership to have a clear strategic vision and strong commitment to changing how care is delivered through new clinical and workflow processes. It may also require investment in new types of staff, such as care coordinators or community health workers, and additional training. FQHCs interested in participating in a value-based APM may need to assess:
Board Commitment
Stability of leadership team
Their capacity for and history of change management
Assessment of competing priorities (new electronic health record systems, new practice sites and services, etc.)
Adequate operations, clinical, and quality improvement staff, and staff training capacity. Participation may require:
Implementing a new payment system, understanding new billing and reporting processes, managing attributed patient lists;
Adapting to new clinical care processes, working with internal or external care managers, incorporating data into clinical work flows, identifying and formalizing partnerships with community providers;
Developing and integrating internal and external reporting on key indicators (e.g., measurement, cost, access);
Implementing quality improvement processes or rapid cycle improvement strategies; and
Working with state and community partners to impact upstream utilization.

School-Based Health Care for Adults, Too
August 29, 2013 /in Policy Blogs Cost, Payment, and Delivery Reform /by NASHP
By Andy Snyder
It's the start of the school year, and some school-based health centers (SBHCs) are busy providing health services not just to students, but to adults as well. The School-Based Health Alliance reports that the number of school-based health centers that provide care to students' families, school faculty, and the wider community is increasing. As states look for ways to increase their capacity for primary care and ensure access to those who will be newly insured, innovative efforts in Oregon and Los Angeles show how states and communities can leverage SBHCs to expand access to care for adults.

Community Health Centers and State Health Policy: A Primer for Policymakers
January 12, 2012 /in Policy Reports /by Mary Takach
Although the federal health center program was initiated and still is largely implemented without significant state involvement, state governments' relationships with these safety net providers have grown over the years as states have worked to increase coverage and access to quality care. This primer, which is an update to the 2008 publication, Federal Community Health Centers and State Health Policy: A Primer for Policymakers, provides an overview of community health centers and other types of Federally Qualified Health Centers and is intended to assist state policymakers in developing successful strategies to integrate health centers into state delivery systems and reform plans.

Developing Federally Qualified Health Centers into Community Networks to Improve State Primary Care Delivery Systems
May 11, 2011 /in Policy Reports /by Mary Takach
By fostering connections between federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and other private primary care providers, states may be able to connect Medicaid beneficiaries with services needed to help them manage their health and reduce costly visits to hospitals. FQHCs' mandate to provide a comprehensive scope of primary and preventive health care and support services, coupled with access to federal funds, gives them expertise and resources that might be leveraged in collaborative relationships with states and private practices. FQHCs may find many advantages in these partnerships as well.

Collaborating with Health Centers to Leverage HIT for System Improvement
April 26, 2010 /in Policy Reports /by NASHP Staff
Early in 2010, NASHP hosted a webinar that brought together individuals from Massachusetts, Oregon, and Tennessee with experience in collaborating with health centers around Health Information Technology (HIT) activities to discuss ways in which state agencies and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are working together to use HIT and health information exchange (HIE) funding opportunities from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to achieve mutual goals for health system improvements. This briefing draws from and builds on this webinar to offer an overview of opportunities, explore these states' experiences, and provide concluding observations. This brief was developed through a National Cooperative Agreement (NCA) sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC).

Federal Community Health Centers and State Health Policy: A Primer for Policy Makers
April 16, 2010 /in Policy Reports /by Mary Takach
Federally funded community health centers connect 16 million people throughout the U.S. and its territories with primary health care services and form much of the fabric of the country's health care safety net. Although the federal community health center program was initiated with very little state input and involvement more than 40 years ago, this relationship is changing. The ties between state governments and health centers have grown over the years as states have worked to increase coverage and access to care, and as the health centers' dependence on state Medicaid payments and grants has increased. This overview of federally funded community health centers is intended to help inform state policy decision making as it affects health centers, including ways that policy makers can work with health centers as an important component of their state's health delivery system and reform plans. This primer was developed through a National Cooperative Agreement (NCA) sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC).

Federally Qualified Health Centers and State Health Policy: A Primer for California
July 16, 2009 /in Policy Reports /by NASHP Staff
California's federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and "look-alikes" treat more than 2.3 million patients each year. With fewer providers serving Medi-Cal beneficiaries and the uninsured, FQHCs have become an even more vital source of primary care for millions of Californians.
Despite cutbacks in state and local funding, a new report by the National Academy for State Health Policy finds California has an opportunity to improve the performance and sustainability of FQHCs by integrating technology, adapting to changes in health policy, and tapping new sources of funding.
The issue brief covers the following topics:
The operational history of community health centers, including their complex federal and state funding structure;
Effects of Medi-Cal and third-party payment structures and state regulatory and licensing policies on health center finances;
Other states' approaches to improving funding and operations, including collaborating with federal entities, technology initiatives, and medical home pilots; and
Strategies for stakeholders and policymakers to increase reimbursement and recruit and retain providers.
This issue brief was supported by the California HealthCare Foundation. This brief relied upon NASHP's publication Federal Community Health Centers and State Health Policy: A Primer for Policy Makers, which was supported through a National Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Primary Health Care.

Diagnostic Issues
Last Updated on Wed, 06 Apr 2016 | Weight Loss
Alive after the Fall Review
Hyperactivity, or ADHD, is a condition that has been recognized for many years and has been quite extensively researched, but the diagnostic criteria and treatment continue to be controversial. The symptoms of ADHD were first described by a German physician, Heinrich Hoffman, in a children's book written in 1848. The symptoms were represented by two children, Harry, who looks in the air (inattention), and Fidgety Phil (hyperactivity). In 1902, George Still presented a lecture in England about 20 children who were aggressive, defiant, excessively emotional and lacking inhibitory volition, and who were also noted to have impaired attention and over-activity. A more etiological conceptualization of the condition did not occur until after World War I.
Symptoms of hyperactivity and inattention were suspected to be caused by the influenza epidemic that occurred after World War I, when postencephalitic behavior manifestations in children included extreme examples of hyperactivity and inattention. This led to the suggestion that these symptoms were due to organic brain damage. The concept of inattention and hyperactivity being part of a spectrum with less intense manifestations secondary to subtle injuries became known as the syndrome of 'minimal brain damage' in the 1960s. However, the lack of clear evidence for brain damage eventually resulted in a shift to a more descriptive labeling of the disorder. This is reflected in the American Psychiatric Association classification system (DSM) defining the 'hyperkinetic reaction of childhood.' The same disorder was similarly described in the United Kingdom, as reflected in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. However, the conditions described differed in that the British disorder included more severe symptomatology and required that the symptoms had to be present in all settings.
In 1980, the US characterization of inattention and hyperactivity was changed in several ways. It was conceptually defined by three symptom dimensions: inattention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity, with inattention playing a more prominent role. In addition, to address the heterogeneity within the disorder, two subtypes ('attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity' and 'attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity') were defined. Again, different from the British criteria, the symptoms were only required to be present in one setting such as school. Retaining the concept that the major contributions to the symptoms were related to innate characteristics in the child rather than to environmental influences, the symptoms were required to have been present before the age of 7 years and to have lasted for at least 6 months. The British system continued to use the term 'hyperkinetic syndrome of childhood' and to include the pervasive nature of the symptoms.
The most recent changes in diagnostic criteria used by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV) and the WHO have moved the definitions closer to agreement. Considering the most recent studies, there is evidence to support two dimensions. In DSM, the first dimension, inattention, is characterized by the 'often' occurrence of at least six of nine of the inattentive behaviors presented in Table 1. The second dimension consists of both hyperactivity and impulsiveness and is characterized by the 'often' occurrence of at least six of nine of the hyperactive and/or impulsive behaviors presented in Table 1. The WHO definitions are similar but do not attempt to quantify the specific behaviors and do not include impulsiveness in the hyperactivity dimension.
In DSM, the two dimensions define three subtypes: predominantly inattentive type (meeting criteria on the inattentive dimension), predominantly hyperactive/impulsive type (meeting criteria on the hyperactive/impulsive dimension), and combined type (meeting criteria on both dimensions). In addition, there are other general criteria including the onset of symptoms before 7 years of age, the presence of symptoms for at least 6 months, the presence of symptoms in two or more settings (e.g., home, school, or work), and evidence that

Unable to stay seated
Moving excessively (restless)
Difficulty engaging in leisure activities quietly
Talking excessively
Impulsiveness
Blurting answers before questions completed Difficulty awaiting turn Interrupting/intruding upon others the symptoms cause significant clinical impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning. The WHO condition has been renamed 'disturbances of activity and attention.'
Understanding And Treating ADHD
Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD is a very complicated, and time and again misinterpreted, disorder. Its beginning is physiological, but it can have a multitude of consequences that come alongside with it. That apart, what is the differentiation between ADHD and ADD ADHD is the abbreviated form of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, its major indications being noticeable hyperactivity and impulsivity.

Nowruz in Shia Islam Traditions
According to some hadiths, Nowruz is a blessed day, which is to be celebrated. For instance, Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have instructed ghusl, wearing one's best clothes, a special prayer, and fasting on Nowruz.
AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Nowrūz (Persian: نوروز) is the beginning day of spring and of the solar hijri calendar. The celebration of Nowruz is considered the oldest symbol of Persian culture. The celebration contains a collection of national, ethnic, and religious customs and traditions.
Nowruz is celebrated in several countries and nations and is a national holiday in some countries.
The United Nations has officially recognized the "International Nowruz Day" in its calendar.
Nowruz is recognized in some Shiite traditions as a blessed day and certain prayers and rituals are prescribed for it.
Nowruz is the beginning day of spring and the first day of the month of Farvardin, which marks the beginning of the Solar Hijri calendar. The celebration of Nowruz is attributed by some scholars to ancient Iranian kings and is considered by others a Zoroastrian practice. Others simply regard it as an Iranian national tradition and the most ancient symbol of Iranian culture.
Nowruz is also introduced as an indication of pluralistic Persian culture that contributed to the peaceful coexistence among various people. It is a holiday that brings together Zoroastrians, Christians, Sunnis, and Shiites, despite all their differences, on the Haft-Sin table (a table with seven items whose names in Persian start with "sin" or s sound, which is arranged for the celebration of Nowruz).
Rulers used to receive gifts and taxes from people on Nowruz. In some periods, the appointment of officials to their positions would be arranged on this day.
In addition to Iran, Nowruz is celebrated in other countries, including Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Kirgizstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Zanzibar.
The United Nations has officially recognized Nowruz as the "International Nowruz Day."
The celebration of Nowruz has included a series of traditions and customs. Iranians begin to prepare themselves for Nowruz days or even weeks ahead. They clean their houses and wear new clothes. They plant greenery for their tables of Haft-Sin and preserve it until the thirteenth day of Farvardin when they throw it to a river or a stream.
Arranging the Haft-Sin table is also a Nowruz custom, whose symbolic meaning has been variously explained. Iranian Muslims also place the Quran on their Haft-Sin table.
Giving and receiving gift, usually in the form of money, is an ancient Nowruz custom. Colored eggs are also among the gifts that are exchanged on Nowruz.
Visiting relatives and friends is a widely common tradition during Nowruz holidays.
Many people prefer to be present in a sacred place at the moment of the beginning of the new year.
Travelling is also very common on Nowruz holidays.
Nowruz in Shiism
Shiite sources include divergent hadiths on Nowruz. According to some hadiths, Nowruz is a blessed day, which is to be celebrated. For instance, Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have instructed ghusl, wearing one's best clothes, a special prayer, and fasting on Nowruz. In another tradition, Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have mentioned a number of important events that had occurred on the day of Nowruz, such as the event of Ghadir.
However, according to a hadith from Imam al-Kazim (a), Nowruz was a custom that Islam did not recognize and thus the Imam (a) refused to celebrate it.
Many scholars have studied these two set of hadiths. Allama al-Majlisi, for instance, concludes that the hadiths that recognize Nowruz are more reliable. He mentions that the hadith which rejects the celebration of Nowruz might have been said under the precautionary dissimulation (taqiyya). Ibn Fahd al-Hilli speaks of Nowruz as an "esteemed" (jalil al-qadr) day. Many other scholars also have sided with first set of hadiths and, on their basis, have issued fatwas according to which ghusl and fasting are recommended (mustahab) on Nowruz.
Some scholars have explained that Islam does not necessarily regard the customs and traditions of a nation in a negative way. Islam's acceptance or rejection of these customs and traditions rather depends on their contents, and since Nowruz celebrations consist of good deeds such as giving gifts, visiting relatives, and cleanliness, it was accepted in Islam.
Prayers and Religious Deeds on Nowruz
Shiite scholars, based on hadiths in this regard, have mentioned the following prayers and deeds for Nowruz:
1. Ghusl
2. Fasting
3. Wearing clean and fragrant clothes
4. Reciting the following prayer, mentioned by Allama al-Majlisi for the beginning moment of the new year: "O He who changes the hearts and eyes! O He who directs the day and night! O he who changes the year and states! Change our state to the best state!"
5. Reciting the following prayer, narrated by Allama al-Majlisi:
اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ سَنَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ وَ أَنْتَ مَلِكٌ قَدِيمٌ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَ أَسْتَكْفِيكَ مَؤُنَتَهَا وَ شُغْلَهَا يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ[1]
6. Two prayers (salat), each consisting of two units (rak'at), together with special deeds.
1. Some sources report that the Prophet (s) would recite this prayer in the beginning of lunar years.

First, it has been established that group dynamics and, in particular, coevolution with group size can favor the evolution of cooperation. However, such work makes assumptions that are not realistic for some well-known cooperative breeders such as African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) and meerkats (Suricata suricatta). Most notably, it remains unclear how group size and cooperation coevolve in stable groups with complete reproductive skew. Here, I develop and analyze a model of a social group with robust ecology based on social carnivorans. I find that, under a range of conditions, increased cooperation will evolve. Importantly, this result provides a potential mechanism for the evolution of cooperation in groups with only one reproductive individual without invoking kin selection or group selection arguments. Second, territorial breeders are widespread and occur across taxa. Often, these species are characterized by males establishing territories to which they attract females. There exists theory for how territory establishment occurs, but such work ignores the subsequent choice females make in deciding with whom to mate. Here, I develop and analyze a spatially explicit model of male territory establishment and female mate choice. I find that sexually antagonistic selection (i.e., a negative correlation between male and female fitness) occurs in a suite of parameter combinations and model assumptions. Importantly, I find that this is the result of an edge effect on the nite landscape.

Q: Question without tags How can questions be asked without tags? This one, what happened?
The question did have one tag originally, but it was removed by an edit. Now when I try to remove all tags from a question when editing, I'm not allowed!

A: That is what happens when a silly developer (trying to rip out some old legacy hacks that have persisted for 4 years) makes a mistake in the way tags are composed for suggested edits; the bug has been fixed; I will now have fun repairing the damage...
all affected posts should now be fixed. To be clear: no fault here lies with the people reviewing them - they would have looked perfect on screen - it was only when applying the change that it broke.

Q: different varargs priority for primitive and objects please help me explain this code behaviour:
public class Main {
      public static void var(Object... x) {
        System.out.println("Object");
    }

    public static void var(Integer... x) {
        System.out.println("Integer...");
    }

    public static void main(String... args) {
        byte i = 0;
        Integer i2 = 127;
        var(i, i2);
    }
}

code above returns Object...
public class Main {
      public static void var(Object... x) {
        System.out.println("Object");
    }

    public static void var(int... x) {
        System.out.println("int...");
    }

        public static void main(String... args) {
            byte i = 0;
            Integer i2 = 127;
            var(i, i2);
        }
    }

java: reference to var is ambiguous, both method var(java.lang.Object...) in inheritanceTest.Main and method var(int...) in inheritanceTest.Main match

I have these questions.

*

*Why each code variant Do returns corresponds value

*What principical differencies between these code snippets.

Really I cannot understand this part of jls a lot of time.  My colleagues don't know it too.

A: In the first attempt with Object... and Integer...:
The reason the Integer... can't be matched is that java will not perform both an automatic widening cast and an auto-boxing in one operation. That means the byte can not be converted to an Integer by simply passing it to the method and hoping for byte --> int --> Integer. So the only match is to auto-box byte to Byte and match Object....
In the second attempt with Object... and int...:
Java can however perform an automatic widening cast from byte to int for the first parameter, and an auto-unboxing of Integer to int, so the int... matches. But it can also auto-box the byte to a Byte and leave the Integer, to match Object...
This is not matter of priorities. It is a matter of what java can do automatically in one step - it can either auto-box/unbox or automatically perform a widening cast.

Q: How do I get JSON data from Rest APi I am creating an object in javascript:
    var t = null;
            $.getJSON('http://localhost:53227/Home/GetData', function (data) {
                alert(data);
                t = data;
            });
            alert(t);

When I alert data, I get an object back.
When I alert t, it's null.
Can you please guide, how to set "t" to the returned data?

A: This will work as expected - the issue is not that t is not set, it's that you're doing alert(t) before the getJSON callback is executed.  Try doing alert(t) immediately after t = data;
In other words, here's your current order of operations:

*

*Set t = null

*Call server script

*alert(t) --> t is still null!

*(some amount of time later) receive JSON response

*alert data

*set t = data

...as you can see, at step 3 't' will still be null.  Try this instead:
var t = null;

$.getJSON('http://localhost:53227/Home/GetData', function (data) {
    alert(data);
    t = data;
    alert(t);
});

Remarks by President Trump on the Administration's National Security Strategy
2:03 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you. Please. I want to thank Vice President Pence, along with the many members of my Cabinet here with us today.
I also want to thank all of the dedicated professionals — military, civilian, and law enforcement — who devote their lives to serving our nation. In particular, I want to recognize General Dunford and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Applause.)
In addition, we are honored to be joined by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul, and Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn. Thank you very much. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you. (Applause.)
Let me begin by expressing our deepest sympathies and most heartfelt prayers for the victims of the train derailment in Washington State. We are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with local authorities. It is all the more reason why we must start immediately fixing the infrastructure of the United States.
We're here today to discuss matters of vital importance to us all: America's security, prosperity, and standing in the world. I want to talk about where we've been, where we are now, and, finally, our strategy for where we are going in the years ahead.
Over the past 11 months, I have traveled tens of thousands of miles to visit 13 countries. I have met with more than 100 world leaders. I have carried America's message to a grand hall in Saudi Arabia, a great square in Warsaw, to the General Assembly of the United Nations, and to the seat of democracy on the Korean Peninsula. Everywhere I traveled, it was my highest privilege and greatest honor to represent the American people.
Throughout our history, the American people have always been the true source of American greatness. Our people have promoted our culture and promoted our values. Americans have fought and sacrificed on the battlefields all over the world. We have liberated captive nations, transformed former enemies into the best of friends, and lifted entire regions of the planet from poverty to prosperity.
Because of our people, America has been among the greatest forces for peace and justice in the history of the world. The American people are generous. You are determined, you are brave, you are strong, and you are wise.
When the American people speak, all of us should listen. And just over one year ago, you spoke loud and you spoke clear. On November 8, 2016, you voted to make America great again. (Applause.) You embraced new leadership and very new strategies, and also a glorious new hope. That is why we are here today.
But to seize the opportunities of the future, we must first understand the failures of the past. For many years, our citizens watched as Washington politicians presided over one disappointment after another. To many of our leaders — so many who forgot whose voices they were to respect and whose interests they were supposed to defend — our leaders in Washington negotiated disastrous trade deals that brought massive profits to many foreign nations, but sent thousands of American factories, and millions of American jobs, to those other countries.
Our leaders engaged in nation-building abroad, while they failed to build up and replenish our nation at home. They undercut and shortchanged our men and women in uniform with inadequate resources, unstable funding, and unclear missions. They failed to insist that our often very wealthy allies pay their fair share for defense, putting a massive and unfair burden on the U.S. taxpayer and our great U.S. military.
They neglected a nuclear menace in North Korea; made a disastrous, weak, and incomprehensibly bad deal with Iran; and allowed terrorists such as ISIS to gain control of vast parts of territory all across the Middle East.
They put American energy under lock and key. They imposed punishing regulations and crippling taxes. They surrendered our sovereignty to foreign bureaucrats in faraway and distant capitals.
And over the profound objections of the American people, our politicians left our borders wide open. Millions of immigrants entered illegally. Millions more were admitted into our country without the proper vetting needed to protect our security and our economy. Leaders in Washington imposed on the country an immigration policy that Americans never voted for, never asked for, and never approved — a policy where the wrong people are allowed into our country and the right people are rejected. American citizens, as usual, have been left to bear the cost and to pick up the tab.
On top of everything else, our leaders drifted from American principles. They lost sight of America's destiny. And they lost their belief in American greatness. As a result, our citizens lost something as well. The people lost confidence in their government and, eventually, even lost confidence in their future.
But last year, all of that began to change. The American people rejected the failures of the past. You rediscovered your voice and reclaimed ownership of this nation and its destiny.
On January 20th, 2017, I stood on the steps of the Capitol to herald the day the people became the rulers of their nation again. (Applause.) Thank you. Now, less than one year later, I am proud to report that the entire world has heard the news and has already seen the signs. America is coming back, and America is coming back strong.
Upon my inauguration, I announced that the United States would return to a simple principle: The first duty of our government is to serve its citizens, many of whom have been forgotten. But they are not forgotten anymore. With every decision and every action, we are now putting America first.
We are rebuilding our nation, our confidence, and our standing in the world. We have moved swiftly to confront our challenges, and we have confronted them head-on.
We are once again investing in our defense — almost $700 billion, a record, this coming year. We are demanding extraordinary strength, which will hopefully lead to long and extraordinary peace. We are giving our courageous military men and women the support they need and so dearly deserve.
We have withdrawn the United States from job-killing deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the very expensive and unfair Paris Climate Accord. And on our trip to Asia last month, I announced that we will no longer tolerate trading abuse.
We have established strict new vetting procedures to keep terrorists out of the United States, and our vetting is getting tougher each month.
To counter Iran and block its path to a nuclear weapon, I sanctioned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for its support of terrorism, and I declined to certify the Iran Deal to Congress.
Following my trip to the Middle East, the Gulf states and other Muslim-majority nations joined together to fight radical Islamist ideology and terrorist financing. We have dealt ISIS one devastating defeat after another. The coalition to defeat ISIS has now recaptured almost 100 percent of the land once held by these terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Great job. (Applause.) Great job. Really good. Thank you. Thank you. We have a great military. We're now chasing them wherever they flee, and we will not let them into the United States.
In Afghanistan, our troops are no longer undermined by artificial timelines, and we no longer tell our enemies of our plans. We are beginning to see results on the battlefield. And we have made clear to Pakistan that while we desire continued partnership, we must see decisive action against terrorist groups operating on their territory. And we make massive payments every year to Pakistan. They have to help.
Our efforts to strengthen the NATO Alliance set the stage for significant increases in member contributions, with tens of billions of dollars more pouring in because I would not allow member states to be delinquent in the payment while we guarantee their safety and are willing to fight wars for them. We have made clear that countries that are immensely wealthy should reimburse the United States for the cost of defending them. This is a major departure from the past, but a fair and necessary one — necessary for our country, necessary for our taxpayer, necessary for our own thought process.
Our campaign of maximum pressure on the North Korean regime has resulted in the toughest-ever sanctions. We have united our allies in an unprecedented effort to isolate North Korea. However, there is much more work to do. America and its allies will take all necessary steps to achieve a denuclearization and ensure that this regime cannot threaten the world. (Applause.) Thank you. This situation should have been taken care of long before I got into office, when it was much easier to handle. But it will be taken care of. We have no choice.
At home, we are keeping our promises and liberating the American economy. We have created more than 2 million jobs since the election. Unemployment is at a 17-year-low. The stock market is at an all-time high and, just a little while ago, hit yet another all-time high — the 85th time since my election. (Applause.)
We have cut 22 regulations for every one new regulation, the most in the history of our country. We have unlocked America's vast energy resources.
As the world watches — and the world is indeed watching — we are days away from passing historic tax cuts for American families and businesses. It will be the biggest tax cut and tax reform in the history of our country. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
And we are seeing the response we fully expected. Economic growth has topped 3 percent for two quarters in a row. GDP growth, which is way ahead of schedule under my administration, will be one of America's truly greatest weapons.
Optimism has surged. Confidence has returned. With this new confidence, we are also bringing back clarity to our thinking. We are reasserting these fundamental truths:
A nation without borders is not a nation. (Applause.)
A nation that does not protect prosperity at home cannot protect its interests abroad.
A nation that is not prepared to win a war is a nation not capable of preventing a war.
A nation that is not proud of its history cannot be confident in its future.
And a nation that is not certain of its values cannot summon the will to defend them.
Today, grounded in these truths, we are presenting to the world our new National Security Strategy. Based on my direction, this document has been in development for over a year. It has the endorsement of my entire Cabinet.
Our new strategy is based on a principled realism, guided by our vital national interests, and rooted in our timeless values.
This strategy recognizes that, whether we like it or not, we are engaged in a new era of competition. We accept that vigorous military, economic, and political contests are now playing out all around the world.
We face rogue regimes that threaten the United States and our allies. We face terrorist organizations, transnational criminal networks, and others who spread violence and evil around the globe.
We also face rival powers, Russia and China, that seek to challenge American influence, values, and wealth. We will attempt to build a great partnership with those and other countries, but in a manner that always protects our national interest.
As an example, yesterday I received a call from President Putin of Russia thanking our country for the intelligence that our CIA was able to provide them concerning a major terrorist attack planned in St. Petersburg, where many people, perhaps in the thousands, could have been killed. They were able to apprehend these terrorists before the event, with no loss of life. And that's a great thing, and the way it's supposed to work. That is the way it's supposed to work.
But while we seek such opportunities of cooperation, we will stand up for ourselves, and we will stand up for our country like we have never stood up before. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We know that American success is not a forgone conclusion. It must be earned and it must be won. Our rivals are tough, they're tenacious, and committed to the long term. But so are we.
To succeed, we must integrate every dimension of our national strength, and we must compete with every instrument of our national power.
Under the Trump administration, America is gaining wealth, leading to enhanced power — faster than anyone thought — with $6 trillion more in the stock market alone since the election — $6 trillion.
With the strategy I am announcing today, we are declaring that America is in the game and America is going to win. (Applause.) Thank you.
Our strategy advances four vital national interests. First, we must protect the American people, the homeland, and our great American way of life. This strategy recognizes that we cannot secure our nation if we do not secure our borders. So for the first time ever, American strategy now includes a serious plan to defend our homeland. It calls for the construction of a wall on our southern border; ending chain migration and the horrible visa and lottery programs; closing loopholes that undermine enforcement; and strongly supporting our Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and Homeland Security personnel. (Applause.)
In addition, our strategy calls for us to confront, discredit, and defeat radical Islamic terrorism and ideology and to prevent it from spreading into the United States. And we will develop new ways to counter those who use new domains, such as cyber and social media, to attack our nation or threaten our society.
The second pillar of our strategy is to promote American prosperity. For the first time, American strategy recognizes that economic security is national security. Economic vitality, growth, and prosperity at home is absolutely necessary for American power and influence abroad. Any nation that trades away its prosperity for security will end up losing both.
That is why this National Security Strategy emphasizes, more than any before, the critical steps we must take to ensure the prosperity of our nation for a long, long time to come.
It calls for cutting taxes and rolling back unnecessary regulations. It calls for trade based on the principles of fairness and reciprocity. It calls for firm action against unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft. And it calls for new steps to protect our national security industrial and innovation base.
The strategy proposes a complete rebuilding of American infrastructure — our roads, bridges, airports, waterways, and communications infrastructure. And it embraces a future of American energy dominance and self-sufficiency.
The third pillar of our strategy is to preserve peace through strength. (Applause.) We recognize that weakness is the surest path to conflict, and unrivaled power is the most certain means of defense. For this reason, our strategy breaks from the damaging defense sequester. We're going to get rid of that. (Applause.)
It calls for a total modernization of our military, and reversing previous decisions to shrink our armed forces — even as threats to national security grew. It calls for streamlining acquisition, eliminating bloated bureaucracy, and massively building up our military, which has the fundamental side benefit of creating millions and millions of jobs.
This strategy includes plans to counter modern threats, such as cyber and electromagnetic attacks. It recognizes space as a competitive domain and calls for multi-layered missile defense. (Applause.) This strategy outlines important steps to address new forms of conflict such as economic and political aggression.
And our strategy emphasizes strengthening alliances to cope with these threats. It recognizes that our strength is magnified by allies who share principles — and our principles — and shoulder their fair share of responsibility for our common security.
Fourth and finally, our strategy is to advance American influence in the world, but this begins with building up our wealth and power at home.
America will lead again. We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but we will champion the values without apology. We want strong alliances and partnerships based on cooperation and reciprocity. We will make new partnerships with those who share our goals, and make common interests into a common cause. We will not allow inflexible ideology to become an obsolete and obstacle to peace.
We will pursue the vision we have carried around the world over this past year — a vision of strong, sovereign, and independent nations that respect their citizens and respect their neighbors; nations that thrive in commerce and cooperation, rooted in their histories and branching out toward their destinies.
That is the future we wish for this world, and that is the future we seek in America. (Applause.)
With this strategy, we are calling for a great reawakening of America, a resurgence of confidence, and a rebirth of patriotism, prosperity, and pride.
And we are returning to the wisdom of our founders. In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. What we have built here in America is precious and unique. In all of history, never before has freedom reigned, the rule of law prevailed, and the people thrived as we have here for nearly 250 years.
We must love and defend it. We must guard it with vigilance and spirit, and, if necessary, like so many before us, with our very lives. And we declare that our will is renewed, our future is regained, and our dreams are restored.
Every American has a role to play in this grand national effort. And today, I invite every citizen to take their part in our vital mission. Together, our task is to strengthen our families, to build up our communities, to serve our citizens, and to celebrate American greatness as a shining example to the world.
As long as we are proud — and very proud — of who we are, how we got here, and what we are fighting for to preserve, we will not fail.
If we do all of this, if we rediscover our resolve and commit ourselves to compete and win again, then together we will leave our children and our grandchildren a nation that is stronger, better, freer, prouder, and, yes, an America that is greater than ever before.
God Bless You. Thank you very much. Thank you. (Applause.)

For pearl reveal video openings we will guarantee that each oyster will contain a pearl.
DOES NOT INCLUDE JEWELRY. JEWELRY/MOUNTINGS SOLD SEPARATELY.
Beautiful pearls, great customer service....working on my second order.
It was so much fun watching the video and finding out which ones I got. The two pale gold ones were perfect for the heart earrings and the third (a beautiful metallic pink) looks lovely in the heart ring. Delivery was reasonably quick given the severe winter weather you have been experiencing and I am happily recommending your site to everyone who will listen!
The pearls were sent to me and I like the different colors and a good size ( for me).
I wanted to get a mother and child necklace for my mom for mother's day and I am very satisfied with the pearls that were opened. The pearls are nicely mounted the jewelry was pretty up close.

About the MYS
Superyachts and tenders
Captain Zone
Stand fitter Zone
The Monaco Yacht Show, in collaboration with the Government of the Principality of Monaco, maintains the series of measures of security "Vigirenfort" (red level of the French national alert system) to strengthen security checks both at the various quayside entry points to the show and on the water.
Strengthening of security measures on land
One or several security agents will perform visual checks of bags of all types and will ask those wishing to access the Show to open their jackets.
On account of the layout of the Show, we ask for the cooperation of visitors and exhibitors in accepting the frequent checks they will be subject to.
The MYS Organisation Committee reserves the right to deny access to any person who refuses to cooperate with the security checks at the entrances to the Show, even if that person possesses a valid access badge.
Access to the Piscine road will be authorized for deliveries before 9.30 am and after 3 pm.
Operators of any vehicle requiring access to this road must declare in advance the identity of the driver (Name, first name, date and place of birth, ID card or passport number) and the vehicle (licence plate number) to the MYS Organisation Committee by filling in the Service providers' pass available on the Exhibitor Zone.
Access to the show venue for the exhibitors' service providers
The providers that must intervene on the exhibitor's stand (stand builder, deliverer…) has to present a service providers' pass to the security agents to access the show. Any provider that does not present a service providers' pass will not be authorized to enter the venue for security reasons.
NB: the service providers' pass is only reserved to companies that are not referenced as MYS official provider.
The exhibitor must edit a service providers' pass in their digital Exhibitor Zone and forward this document to their providers.
Control of access by sea at harbour entrance
The security system will remain the same during the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show. The system involves the creation of a barrier in the channel between the Quai Rainier III and the Quai Lucciana, the creation of a pass granting access to the harbour to be displayed on all vessels, and control of all inbound and outbound movements.
Only yachts & tenders with a sticker, mentioning the license plate number, has to be displayed as visible as possible at the port side of the boat, are allowed to acces in the port Hercules
Any unit appearing at the entrance to the water without the mandatory sticker is prohibited from access to Port Hercules and will be automatically refused and invited to disembark / board at Fontvieille.
Access to the Port Hercules will be controlled as follows from 0.01 am on Wednesday 25 September to 6pm on Saturday 28 September:
During the day:
Access available on presentation of the sticker clearly displayed as visible as possible at the port side of the boat (including the tender's license plate):
- To MYS exhibitors and any affiliated boats authorized by the MYS Organizing Committee (tenders to yachts exhibited, tenders exhibited, exhibitors' private tender services).
- To vessels duly authorized by the port authorities (SEPM – Maritime Affairs Department).
- To members of the Yacht Club de Monaco.
At night:
- The harbour will be closed from 0.01 am to 7 am on Wednesday 25, Thursday 26, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 September 2019.
NB: For evening events on yachts moored in the bay guests may leave from Port Hercules but if returning after midnight they must be landed at Fontvieille harbour.
- Passengers disembarking in the Port Hercules between 7.30 pm and midnight or between 5 am and 11 am can only do so at the pontoon "Touch & Go" of the Yacht Club de Monaco.
Passengers leaving the MYS enclosure must use the gate situated opposite the atrium as the quays of the Port Hercules are not accessible to the public outside the opening hours of the Show.
Yachts exhibited at the MYS
Each exhibitor is entitled to one sticker per yacht exhibited. The sticker should be imperatively sticked as visible as possible at the port side of the boat and easily visible for any control.
Beyond the quantity allocated free of charge or for any duplicate the price applied will be: 3000 € VAT excluded / unit
If an exhibitor uses a tender for its VIP shuttle whose manufacturer is not an exhibitor, a participation of 2500 € VAT excluded per brand is applied. Fees will be billed directly to the Tender Manufacturer. In the case where the tender remains inside the harbor during the 4 days of the show, no badge is required, but the rule regarding the payment of the promotion tax described above is still in effect.
Sticker for Exhibitor offers Sticker price Flat rate Tax Total amount

Any request by exhibitors to use their tender to access the Monaco bay from 25 to 28 September 2019 must first contact the Show organisers at in order to transmit information details of the tender (licence plate, contact details of the captain – last name, first name, date of birth, mobile phone).

Die Lisandro-Formation, auch bekannt als Cerro-Lisandro-Formation, ist eine Abfolge von kontinentalen Sedimentgesteinen der Oberkreide Argentiniens, die für ihre Fossilfauna bekannt ist. Sie ist das jüngste Schichtglied der Río-Limay-Untergruppe, des untersten Abschnitts der Neuquén-Gruppe. Früher wurde diese Untergruppe selbst als Formation betrachtet, wobei die Lisandro-Formation als (Cerro)-Lisandro-Member bekannt war. Diese Gesteine wurden im späten Cenomanium und frühen Turonium vor etwa 94 bis 91 Millionen Jahren abgelagert. Aufschlüsse dieser geologischen Formation finden sich der argentinischen Provinz Neuquén; Typlokalität ist ein Hügel namens Cerro Lisandro.

Die Lisandro-Formation liegt konkordant auf der Huincul-Formation und wird von der Portezuelo-Formation bedeckt, welche zur Río-Neuquén-Untergruppe gehört. Sie ist mit einer Mächtigkeit von 35 bis 75 Metern die kleinste der drei Formationen der Río-Limay-Untergruppe. Bei den Gesteinen handelt es sich um rötliche Ton- und Schluffsteine, die wahrscheinlich unter sumpfigen Bedingungen abgelagert wurden. Meistens sind die rötlichen Gesteine der Lisandro-Formation gut von den grünlichen bis gelblichen Ablagerungen der Huincul-Formation zu unterscheiden.

Fossilien der Formation schließen Muscheln, Fische, Schildkröten, Krokodile, und mindestens eine Vogelspezies mit ein. Dinosaurier sind nicht so häufig wie in einigen anderen Formationen der Neuquén-Gruppe. Unter den Funden sind ein abelisauroider Theropode sowie Ornithopoden wie Anabisetia.

Trump Declares National Emergency Over Coronavirus; Markets Rebound
By Melanie Waddell | March 13, 2020 at 04:01 PM
The declaration will "open up access to up to $50 billion"; the House says it will vote today on an aid bill.
Trump gave a news conference Friday afternoon. (Photo: Bloomberg)
President Donald Trump officially declared on Friday afternoon a national emergency "to combat and defeat" the coronavirus.
"Two very big words," Trump said during his remarks in the Rose Garden.
The declaration will "open up access to up to $50 billion" for states, territories and localities "in our shared fight against this disease."
Trump said he was also urging states to set up emergency operation centers immediately and asked the nation's hospitals to activate their emergency preparedness plans.
"Our overriding goal is to stop this virus," Trump said.
Trump's emergency order will also confer "broad new authority" to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who will be able to "immediately waive provisions of applicable laws and regulations to give doctors, hospitals and healthcare providers maximum flexibility to respond to the virus and care for patients," Trump said.
Other emergency executive actions include waiving interest on all student loans held by all federal government agencies "until further notice," Trump said.
"And, based on the price of oil, I've also instructed the director of energy to purchase, at a very good price, large quantities of crude oil for storage in the U.S. strategic reserve," Trump said. "We're going to fill it right up to the top."
The Markets Surge
All three indexes surged to nearly wipe out all of Thursday's historic losses. The S&P 500 jumped 9.28% to 2,710.95; the Dow was up 9.36% to close at 23,185.62; and the Nasdaq was up 9.34% to close at 7,874.23.
Second Legislative Response
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said Friday afternoon in a televised address that the House is passing on Friday legislation that's "focused directly on providing support for America's families."
The three "most important parts" of the bill are: "Testing, testing, testing."
This legislation facilitates free coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured, Pelosi said.
"We can only defeat this outbreak if we have an accurate determination of its scale and scope so that we can pursue the precise science-based response that is necessary."
The bill also secures "two weeks of paid sick leave and family and medical leave for those affected by the virus," Pelosi said.
For those who lose their jobs, the bill strengthens unemployment insurance.
The bill also "takes aggressive action to strengthen food security initiatives, including student meals as well as SNAP, seniors' meals and food banks."
The Wall Street Journal reported that House Democrats said they would proceed with a vote on the bill later Friday, even if they can't finalize an agreement with the Trump administration, amid uncertainty about the level of support from Trump and congressional Republicans.
"If we reach agreement, we'll vote on it," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., in a letter to Democratic colleagues, the Journal reported. "If not, we will vote today on our bill, which incorporates nearly all of what the administration and Republicans have requested."

I've seen a number laptops decked out with some seriously awesome vinyl stickers, but have never found one that I like quite enough to apply to my own machine. Since my partner Steve and I have designed a number of custom murals, we decided that it'd be a great challenge to cut one of them out in vinyl, and apply it to my machine.
To create the initial prototype, we took the mural illustration into Adobe Illustrator, we created a vectorized version, then I spent a number of hours cleaning up all of the line work.
We hadn't cut vinyl at such a small scale before, so we weren't sure if the plotter would cut with such intricacy. Weeding this piece was a challenge since there were so many small details in the design, however practice sped up process, and the decal was ready to install in under one hour from the initial cutting.
The final result mimics the Hootsuite Spotted boardroom, installed at Hootsuite's corporate headquarters in Vancouver.

'Only joking' – It's one of the most common phrases in the language, frequently used when our attempts to be funny seem to be leading to problems. But can a joke be 'just a joke'? Or is there much more involved in humour? These were among the questions Freud pondered when he tried to solve the riddle of why we laugh. Over the past few years I have been turning back to the work of Freud, seeking to reinterpret his central idea of repression in terms of language (Billig, 1999). In doing so, I have attempted to connect the new ideas of discursive psychology with some old ideas of psychoanalysis. I have looked at the topic of humour, especially its darker side, and suggested that ridicule plays a central role in social life (Billig, 2001a). I have also been investigating the humour of extreme bigotry (Billig, 2001b, 2002). This work is at a comparatively early stage, but I hope eventually to connect it with my earlier reinterpretation of Freud. Freud's great work on humour, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious (first published in 1905) bears careful re-examination. Even its limitations and failures are instructive. Freud himself had a great love of humour, telling jokes as he elaborated his ideas. By looking carefully at his theory a number of key issues, including that of ethnic humour, can be highlighted.

Q: Wrap wrapped TMENU Elements I want to wrap some wrapped li Elements in Typo3 with TS for the NO-State, not for ACT.
I have try some differents ways, but nothing is functional.
For example, i want the following HTML-Code

Austria

German

Spain

USA

This is the Typo3 BE Structure for this points:
[metalanguages]-level 1
 |- German
 |- Spain
 |- Austria
 |- USA

The active Point, will wrap with a  element and set to the top of all other elements.
And this is my TypoScript
lib.MetaNavigationCountrySelectFields = HMENU
lib.MetaNavigationCountrySelectFields{
    special = directory
    special.value = 1

    1 = TMENU
    1{
        noBlur = 1
        expAll = 1
        NO{
            wrapItemAndSub =
|

            wrapItemAndSub.insertData = 1
           #allWrap =
|

            allStdWrap.insertData = 1
        }
        #NO.stdWrap.outerWrap.override  =
|

        #NO.wrapItem =
|

        ACT <. NO
        ACT = 1
        ACT{
            wrapItemAndSub =
|

            wrapItemAndSub.insertData = 1
            doNotLinkIt = 1
        }
        RO <. ACT
    }
}

I hope everyone can help me....and sorry for my "bad english" ;)

A: You can't pick out one menu item and place it outside the menu.
I would create a COA and insert the active item on top.
temp.menu = COA
temp.menu {
  10 = TMENU
  // make a Tmenu that just shows the active item
  10.wrap =
|

  20 = TMENU
  20.noBlur = 1
  20.wrap =
|

  // here you can hide the active item
}

Also: According to this http://jweiland.net/typo3/typoscript/wrap-moeglichkeiten-und-hierarchie-in-menues.html, wrapItemAndSub is the outermost wrap in a menu.
And btw: you have set insertData, but you're not using it.
