If you are preparing this in a kitchen without a food processor, you can substitute 2 cups of prepared breadcrumbs for the sandwich bread in this recipe. Use fresh, coarsely ground breadcrumbs if possible (avoid finely ground).
1 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Butter a large (9- by 13-inch) baking dish.
2 Prepare the fish: Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay them in the baking dish, overlapping them as necessary so the fillets all fit in the dish.
3 Make the breadcrumb topping: Strip the leaves from the stems of parsley and add them to a food processor. (Discard or save the stems for another purpose.) Pulse the leaves until well chopped.
Add the bread and pulse until it forms soft, coarse crumbs – you should have about 2 cups of coarse-ground breadcrumbs. Add the Parmesan cheese, and pulse to mix. Add the melted butter, olive oil, salt and pepper and pulse until mixed.
4 Bake the fish: Spread the breadcrumbs evenly over the fish.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the center of the fish is opaque when probed with a small knife and the breadcrumbs are golden. If you have an instant read thermometer, the temperature of the center of the fish should register 135F.
If the fish cooks before the topping browns, turn on the broiler and broil for about one minute. Watch carefully to keep the breadcrumbs from burning.
5 Serve the fish: With a sharp knife, cut the fish into portions. (You won't be able to serve one single fillet by itself, since they overlap in the pan and cook into one another.) Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Extreme Value Statistics: How Big is Big?

14/03/2022 - 14:00 - 12:30Add to Calendar 2022-03-14 12:30:00 2022-03-14 14:00:00 Extreme Value Statistics: How Big is Big? We present an introduction to extreme value statistics, the statistics of the largest of a series of random numbers. We first discuss the case of independent variables drawn from a given distribution and show the origin of the 3 universality classes for long series, Gumbel (for exponentially decaying distributions), Frechet (for distributions that decay as a power-law) and Weibull (for bounded distributions). We show how in practice Gumbel is a poor approximation and how to get more accurate formulas. We then turn to correlated variables, in particular those generated by a Langevin equation. We show that the statistics of the continuously monitored process are different than those are any discrete sampling of the data, and for long-time series and restoring forces that increase with distance, the correlations eventually become irrelevant and the extreme value statistics approach those of an uncorrelated series of the same length drawn from the equilibrium distribution.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) _ Hundreds of aging Koreans parted ways Sunday after their first, and most likely last, reunions following more than half a century of separation.
Crying men and women clung on to each other, while parents and children mopped tears from each others' faces with wrinkled hands. Many may never meet again.
"I will probably die before I see you again," sobbed 78-year-old Sohn Kap-soon as she held her North Korean brother's hands.
"We still have pictures taken during this meeting," Sohn Yoon Mo, 68, told his elder sister.
"If we part now, when can we meet again? What should I do when I want to see you?" a teary Lee Jin-ok, 60, asked her North Korean father, Ri Kyu Yom.
"Don't cry. I can see you when the nation reunifies," answered Ri, 82.
The 455 South Koreans were to head home on a ship Sunday after meeting with 100 long-lost relatives at North Korea's Diamond Mountain resort.
The wails intensified when the North Koreans boarded buses at the end of the reunion. Many North Koreans stretched their hands through open windows to grasp those of South Korean relatives seeing them off.
"You left me when I was a child, and you are leaving me again," cried an elderly South Korean woman, wiping tears with a handkerchief as she gazed into one of the vehicles.
Foreign reporters were not allowed to cover the reunions. Excerpts were broadcast on television in South Korea.
The tearful gatherings were part of a recent political agreement that restarted the process of reconciliation on the divided Korean peninsula after months of tension.
On Monday, another 99 South Koreans will visit the resort for three days of reunions with hundreds of North Korean relatives. One person will miss the trip because of health problems.
The reunions were the fifth of their kind since a historic inter-Korean summit in 2000 during which the two Korean leaders agreed to promote reconciliation.
The Koreas were divided in 1945. The Korean War ended in an uneasy truce, and the border remains sealed. There is no mail, telephone or other direct means of communications between ordinary citizens of the two Koreas.
Many members of the divided families are elderly and do not have long to live, making the issue a pressing one. More than 12,000 South Koreans who had registered for reunions have died in the past year.
About 1.2 million North Koreans fled to South Korea before or during the 1950-53 Korean War, and thousands of South Koreans are believed to have gone to the North voluntarily or after being conscripted into the North's army.

Q: How to switch Control by DataTrigger in the xaml? There is a window consist of the two control.
one is TreeView, the other is ListBox.
The code is as shown below.
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
    <TreeView x:Name="treeView" BorderThickness="0" Visibility="Visible"
                ItemsSource="{Binding TotalCPUs}">

        <i:Interaction.Triggers>
            <i:EventTrigger EventName="SelectedItemChanged">
                <mvvm:EventToCommand Command="{Binding CPUSelectedCommand}"
                                 PassEventArgsToCommand="True"
                                 EventArgsConverter="{localConverters:SelectedItemConverter}" />
            </i:EventTrigger>
        </i:Interaction.Triggers>
    </TreeView>

    <ListBox x:Name="listBox" BorderThickness="0" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
</Grid>

Now I would like to change the value of the Visibility property of the Control whenever changes property of the ViewModel. (FilterMode True = ListBox Visible, FilterMode False = TreeView = Visible)
To this, I modified my XAML code as below.
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
    <TreeView x:Name="treeView" BorderThickness="0" Visibility="Visible"
                ItemsSource="{Binding TotalCPUs}">
        <TreeView.Style>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeView}">
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding FilterMode}" Value="true">
                        <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
                    </DataTrigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </TreeView.Style>

        <i:Interaction.Triggers>
            <i:EventTrigger EventName="SelectedItemChanged">
                <mvvm:EventToCommand Command="{Binding CPUSelectedCommand}"
                                 PassEventArgsToCommand="True"
                                 EventArgsConverter="{localConverters:SelectedItemConverter}" />
            </i:EventTrigger>
        </i:Interaction.Triggers>
    </TreeView>

    <ListBox x:Name="listBox" BorderThickness="0" Visibility="Collapsed">
        <ListBox.Style>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding FilterMode}" Value="true">
                        <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
                    </DataTrigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </ListBox.Style>
    </ListBox>
</Grid>

    public DetailType(Type type, string path)
    {
        Type = type;
        Path = path;
    }
}

If user input data to the TextBox for filtering then the value of the CPUSearch is changed.
If the value of the CPUSearch is changed then be added test value into the FilterCPUs. (Note CPUSearch property)
when being added value into the FilterCPUs, FilterCPUs_CollectionChanged is called and the value of the FilterMode is changed.
But the above code does not work although be changed the value of the FilterMode. (works well except for functionality related to FilterMode)
Why doesn't the Control switch?
Thanks for reading.

A: I solved this problem by referring WPF Showing / Hiding a control with triggers
My XAML code updated like this and it works well.
Thanks for your interest.

Early Life of Shree Vasant Paranjpe
Shree Vasant Paranjpe was born on 13th May 1921 in Pune, India. His mother's name was Rakhma, his father's name Vithal.
He was very talented since childhood. Because of his mischievous nature and talent many a times his class teacher would punish him and make him stand outside the class so he wouldn't ask complex questions.
After he finished school, he told his mother that he was not interested in continuing his education. He had been born into a family rich in traditional ancient Vedic culture. One time when he had not come home in the evening, family friends and neighbors wanted to summon the police to find me. His mother calmly said to try the two temples situated on the outskirts of the city, that he would probably be there sitting in meditation. And so was he!
At the young age he was very much influenced by Gandhi's Satyagraha (Insistence on Truth) to defy the British authorities. Also by Gandhi's instructions that people should react only with LOVE and no enmity towards the oppressors, as their weapons too free India from British rule were Truth and Ahimsa (non-violence).
In Pune where he lived, people held sympathetic processions to show solidarity with the Satyagraha activists. There also, police atrocities were repeated. This had a great impact on his young mind, but oddly enough not the normal reaction of revenge against the British. Instead, he imagined that when he would grow up he would join the Truth and Ahimsa movement. He was attracted to Gandhi's teachings and deeply impressed by the great spiritual strength acquired through practice of Truth and Non-violence.
When he was fifteen years old, he made his own decision to go to London to pursue higher education in Engineering. There were no airplanes those days, so such long-distance travel was undertaken only by princely families or top government officials. In 1936, he departed by Lloyd Triestino's Italian ship, Conte Verde. He was the only minor passenger unaccompanied by parents.
Once in London, being underage, he was not allowed to appear for his matriculation until he completed his 16th year. Sometime later, he joined a small group in London whose aim was to secure total freedom from British rule in India. In 1939 Second World War began. Soon after, he returned to India.

Carboxymethyl chitosan as film-forming, moisture-keeping and anti-pollution active component
Original Title: Carboxymethyl Chitosan, a film-forming, moisturizing and anti-pollution active ingredient CARBOXYMETHYL CHITOSAN is a polysaccharide derived from marine organisms. Its molecular structure is as follows: Beta-1-4-straight chain glucose derivatives Disordered geometric arrangement of diglucose molecular Effective hydrophilic groups: carboxyl, acetamido Effective anti-corrosion group: amino Effective anti-aging groups: hydroxyl, amino Beta-1-4-straight chain glucose derivatives Disordered geometric arrangement of diglucose molecular Effective hydrophilic groups: carboxyl, acetamido Effective anti-corrosion group: amino Effective anti-aging groups: hydroxyl,jacketed glass reactor, amino Our carboxymethyl chitosan has two specifications. Expand the full text MHA Plus has excellent moisture and film-forming properties MHA Plus can significantly improve the loss of water in the epidermis of the skin through its strong film-forming property. At the same concentration, the ability of MHA Plus to reduce the water loss rate of skin epidermis is about twice that of hyaluronic acid with the same molecular weight. (SGS Third Party Testing) MHA Plus can significantly improve the loss of water in the epidermis of the skin through its strong film-forming property. At the same concentration, the ability of MHA Plus to reduce the water loss rate of skin epidermis is about twice that of hyaluronic acid with the same molecular weight. (SGS Third Party Testing) Moisturizing Mechanism of MHA Plus 1. Rheological properties: The dissociation of hydroxyl groups makes the carboxymethyl chitosan molecules in the solution in a state of mutual repulsion of negative ions,thin film distillation, with loose conformation, which can occupy the whole solution space at low concentration; at high concentration, they are intertwined to form a network structure, which endows the solution with special rheological properties and good film-forming properties. After being coated on the surface of the skin, it can form a layer of hydration film to keep the stratum corneum moisturized and prevent the skin from drying. 2. Because carboxymethyl chitosan is highly stretched and intertwined to form a continuous network structure, decarboxylation after extraction ,wiped film distillation, and water molecules are combined with it through polar bonds and hydrogen bonds in this network, it can absorb and maintain thousands of times its own mass of water. MHA Plus has the ability of pollution isolation, and its mechanism is that it can isolate PM2.5 pollutants, reduce the oxidative stress caused by PM2.5 pollutants, and reduce the mitochondrial toxicity caused by PM2.5 pollutants. When MHA Plus is compounded with polyols such as pentanediol, it has antiseptic and synergistic effects. Anticorrosive and synergistic mechanism of MHA Plus 1. Under acidic conditions, the protonated ammonium in the MHA Plus molecule is electropositive, adsorbs bacteria with negative charges, adheres to the surface of bacterial cell walls, interferes with the normal metabolism of cells, and inhibits bacterial reproduction. 2. After MHA Plus adsorbs bacteria, it passes through the porous cell wall (mainly composed of chitin) and enters the bacterial cells, which may form a stable complex with DNA, interfere with the action of DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase, hinder the synthesis of DNA or RNA, and thus inhibit the reproduction of bacteria. MHA Plus has the advantages of moisturizing, film-forming and anti-pollution,50l rotovap, and has a certain effect of anti-corrosion synergist. Apply the recommendations 1. The powder is recommended to be added after being pre-dispersed with polyol; 2. Consistent with HA, do not use with cationic surfactant or polymer such as JR-400 in transparent formula; 3. The suitable range of pH is 4.5 ~ 12; 4. Avoid long-term high-speed shearing; 5. Avoid long-term high temperature heating. For more details, please contact us.

by Jerald Simon on February 9, 2017 in Motivation in a Minute!
Do we sometimes, maybe without knowing it, manipulate those we are trying to motivate? This is one of the key questions we must ask ourselves as motivators. Whether we are parents, teachers, educators, coaches, employers, civic or religious leaders, etc., we must continually keep in check our reasons for motivating others. Is it truly what others need or is it what we think they need?
Are we pushing our ideas and understanding of what we have learned or done on to others and wanting others to think and act like we do, merely because we think it is the correct way things should or must be done? Or are we trying to guide others as they learn and grow for themselves? Hopefully, we are trying to guide them as they learn and grow and hopefully we do the same as we continue to receive guidance from others as we learn and grow.
Just because we may mentor others does not mean we do not need mentors of our own. We are all in a constant state of learning. As mentors we can mentor others and guide them on their own journey, but we must continue to be mentored by others. We all learn so much from each other and can help each other progress more rapidly and with greater results if we work together as a team. There is no need to re-invent the wheel of wisdom when there are so many who have learned, at times, from the school of hard knocks and have already learned how to do so much of what we are wanting to do. We can all help each other do better and be better. We are not in competition against each other, but should focus on helping each other excel, improve, and achieve all of our goals. Instead of pushing against each other, we should push each other forward. This cannot be done at the expense of another, but in working together that both the mentors and those they mentor continually change for the better.
We have often heard the phrase: "No man is an island." Although this is a great phrase, and for the most part is accurate, in that no one can do anything on their own – as we all need each other – I think we often assume that everyone must be taught in the same way and be surrounded by those who think exactly as we do. That is not true. We are all different, and there is not one correct way of doing anything. I often am guilty of this kind of thinking and need to continually remind myself that there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of correct ways of doing everything. It's not even a matter of good, better, or best. Sometimes, there are 5 equally right ways of doing something and all are correct and equally as good as the other. They are just different. Each has their own natural results or consequences – both good and bad – but all are great options and would be beneficial. Sometimes we must surround ourselves with those who see the world completely differently than we do and who even oppose what we do and how we do it. Their perspective, focus, and understanding of things can help us refine and redefine our own understanding.
Sometimes, as teachers, parents, and music mentors, we try to motivate our music students with everything we can think of that excites us and keeps us going. We are looking at the students based on what we think is motivating, and we try to tell the student how much fun they will have playing a particular piece or learning a new style because we are seeing their world through our eyes. We think if we like a particular piece or style, or if other students we have taught like that particular genre, then this student must as well. Everyone is different and everyone must be taught completely differently – even when it comes to theory books, method books, styles, songs, and exercises, etc.. What works for one person will not necessarily work for another. That is fine. We should accept and even embrace it. We should encourage it! We are not "cookie-cutter" piano teachers and we are not teaching robots on an assembly line. These students have different goals, ideas, talents, thoughts, feelings, and so on! Not everyone wants to do what we want them to do. I have had this happen so many times in my own teaching.
I have had moments when I pulled out every kind of piece I could think of without consulting with the student because I thought I was the teacher and knew best based on their skill level, age, gender, etc.. I did this even with little children because I thought, they didn't know any better and couldn't decide for themselves and needed my expertise to help them (obviously very little children need more help than older children, but even then, children know what they do and do not like and will be more motivated with one piece over another). Weeks later, when the student had not progressed and was not enjoying a piece – even something I had composed that I thought they would LOVE, I would essentially turn the lesson over to them. Sometimes I would say, "Let's have FREE time for five minutes where you play anything you have worked on in the past that you can remember, or just improvise or compose something. It doesn't matter as long as you have FUN!" What would happen next always astounded me.
In turning the time over to the student to play whatever, I would watch, listen, and learn from them. Many times the student would play one of my earlier "Cool Songs" they had learned, or the student would play something from years ago. At other times the student would play around and create or compose something on the spot. I would ask what they were playing and the student would say, "I'm making this up as I go," or they would say, "I made this up a few weeks ago," or "I heard this on Spotify and watched the music video on YouTube." I soon learned the importance of what I refer to as FIVE minute FREE time. It has become invaluable!
After hearing the students play a piece they really wanted to play, I would then ask them why they chose that piece. I would then ask them what about that song or piece excited them or motivated them and would ask them if they would like to play something similar. Most of the students did not know and would need to think about it for a minute. Then they would tell me their reason for selecting the piece. It would sometimes be from a memorable melody their friends would know and recognize, which is something that tends to be very important for teens. Other times, what they chose would involve fun left hand patterns, jazzy sounding pieces, new age, pop and rock/blues style. I began noticing how much the student would excel when they had a piece they wanted to play – for whatever reason it was. They improved faster if they had a say in selecting their music.
Many teachers have disagreed and said their students should only be allowed to select one or two pieces at most per year that they would like to learn to play. I respectfully have disagreed with that and have even asked my students to write down 10 – 15 pieces they would like to learn during the year of their own choosing. The progress and personal improvement has been astounding when I have worked as a team with the student in accomplishing their goals. I still have them play their theory and several of the original compositions I have composed from my various books, and I always have the students work on hymns as part of our Hymn Challenge, but I have tried to let them motivate themselves. Sometimes I have found that I was holding them back because I was weighing them down with a particular style they did not want to play. I love playing every style and trying new pieces in different time signatures/key signatures/rhythms, etc., but just because I enjoy something, doesn't mean the student will share my enthusiasm.
I also learned something – I needed to listen to what my students were saying. I also needed to listen more intently to what my piano students were not saying. Most drudged on lifelessly playing a piece. I would try to find a fun cool piece or compose one I thought they would enjoy. The only problem was I was forgetting one very important part of the equation – the student and their needs. I began listening. I would find out that some students only wanted to play new age sounding music. I would still assign them something that was not new age music so they (and I) could have variety, but 98 percent of the lesson and repertoire was focused on what they were interested in learning. I began asking them to tell me what style of music I should compose that they would want to play. I was focusing on their likes and interests.
I believe we can teach the theory to the students through the music and when they learn the music theory the student will then have a better understanding of why they are learning the music because it is being demonstrated through the music.
Why is the student taking piano lessons (or any kind of music lessons) in the first place?
Why do the parents want their child to take piano lessons?
How involved are the parents with the piano students' progression?
What is the main objective or goal of teaching this piano student from your perspective? What about from their perspective? Do they know what your goal is? Do you know what their goal is? Do your piano students know what they want to accomplish by playing the piano?
How involved in other activities is this student? How much time can they actually commit to music lessons? How much time are you as a teacher wanting them to commit?
How much time do the students really have to practice the piano or other instruments?
When do your piano students practice?
What are your limitations as a piano teacher?
Are there areas where you personally feel you need a little more help or improvement? (I have many areas I am working on and striving to improve upon).
Do your piano students write down specific music goals with specific deadlines for those goals?
Do your piano students want to pursue music as a career or as a hobby?
What has your experience been? How have you helped motivate students who seemed to be fighting against piano lessons and appear to be less than enthusiastic about practicing their piano pieces? I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments about how you have helped your own students become self starters and motivate themselves. Leave a comment below to inspire us with your own personal success stories!

I read young adult literature (sometimes called YA or KidLit) and see the movie versions of these books all the time, even though, according to the American Library Association, YA is for people ages twelve to eighteen -- a demographic I haven't been a part of for many years. I like YA stories -- whether in film or literature- - because they feature characters who possess that indomitable spirit of optimism that hasn't been tarnished by age. Their journeys may be fraught with the angst and loneliness that accompany adolescence, but the pain is a necessary price to pay. We hate that Harry Potter is orphaned, forced to live under a staircase, and bullied in school. But we know his trials and tribulations will be worth it in the end when he finds himself and vanquishes evil in the process.
The Hunger Games is definitely a different story.
My students have been reading The Hunger Games since its release and it's even on some our schools' syllabi, but I took a little longer to get around to it. I knew I would eventually read the book and see the movie, and I knew, given its popularity, my students' obsession with it, and its YA perspective, that I would undoubtedly love it. The problem is, I don't.
The Hunger Games tells the story of a dystopian North American future in which "The Capitol" -- a bright metropolis where appearance is everything -- subjugates twelve surrounding districts whose citizens are kept in something close to serfdom. Each year, as a reminder of the Capitol's power (and to punish the districts for the crimes of rebellion committed by their forbearers), a "Reaping" is held, and two children between twelve and eighteen from each district are randomly selected as Tributes to compete in the nationally televised reality-TV-gone-wild Hunger Games. The winner is the last Tribute standing, who will get wealth, fame, and a life of leisure as a reward ... for killing the other kids.
The book's author, Suzanne Collins, richly renders the penurious world of 16-year old protagonist Katniss Everdeen. The juxtaposition of the poverty of the districts and the wealth of the Capitol is painful. As we read, we feel the weight of Katniss's responsibility to find food for her mother and younger sister, and sigh in a resolved "what else can you do?" kind of way when she sacrifices herself and volunteers to take her sister's place in the Hunger Games. Then, just when you think that this brave new world can't get any worse, Collins takes the reader into the arena -- a massive forest in which the games occur -- where these children must kill and all but one be killed. The arena is so deadly that moving before the starting whistle (in this case a gong) will set off landmines at your feet. Within a couple hours of the games' commencement, eleven of the twenty-four Tributes (note, they're almost always referred to as Tributes instead of children or teens) have been killed, by the other children, in what was described in the book as a "bloodbath."
And this is where my problem with the book lies.
While the action kept me turning the page, I couldn't get past the fact that these are children who are not only dying, but doing the killing. Even Katniss isn't above the fray, as she kills four Tributes herself. In one particularly harrowing scene, one boy murders a twelve-year old girl by trapping her in a net and thrusting a spear into her stomach; Katniss retaliates by killing the boy with an arrow to his neck. While not every death is played out this graphically, for me the idea that these kids are killing each other eclipses any other theme that might have been present. It's just too evocative of Derrion Albert, who at Katniss's age was beaten to death by five other teenagers outside of his high school a couple years ago, or of the more than five hundred Chicago youth murdered, mostly by other children, since 2008.
I support the First Amendment and youth literacy too much to throw in with the critics who have called for The Hunger Games to be banned, and I think kids can handle the violence anyway. But I believe the book should be approached with caution -- especially since publisher Scholastic categorized the book's reading level as between 5th and 6th grades. Apparently, the filmmakers feel the same way, as the movie adaption pares down the intensity of the violence, and many of the actors playing the "kids" look as if they are old enough to drink in real life. The film version's rating is PG-13, but I think even high school students would be best served by some guidance when traversing Katniss's world.
I'm nervous that the power and opportunity created by the worldwide phenomenon of the book and film will be squandered. With The Hunger Games and its sequels topping bestseller lists, the first film's inevitable box-office bonanza, and entertainment producers looking to capitalize on the current craze, what lessons are we drawing? I worry that not everyone reading the book or seeing the movie understands that the Capitol is wrong for creating the games, the citizens are wrong for watching them, and the kids are wrong for killing in them. I fear that in the rush to embrace the "games," people will forget that that the point of the Hunger Games is for kids to kill kids.
When I shared my concerns about the book and movie with a fellow high school educator, he agreed that the Tributes seemed just as, if not more, concerned with their celebrity and ability to manipulate the audience than with the fact that they were killing each other. In fact, this complicity in the process isn't even suggested as a story line. The real offense might not be that there's violence, but that it doesn't bring about any reflection or doubt on the part of the children doing the killing. While Katniss's ultimate triumph is hailed as a victory over the establishment, the book never explores another option: to have the kids subvert the entire process by not participating at all. What would have happened if all the Tributes just refused to kill? Fighting to the death in the games is presented as a given, a necessary evil of life (or rather death), in the arena. In establishing rules like these, responsibility is lifted from the kids', and our, shoulders. If we blame the establishment, everyone is innocent. What's more, the book and film call for us to root for a winner, yet never force us to question that when we cheer for any Tribute to win the Hunger Games, we are also, therefore, cheering for the other children to die.
To celebrate the release of The Hunger Games movie, there have been library parties planned in which readers will dress up as characters from the book. Teachers' lesson plans include mock Hunger Games complete with "Reapings," Tributes, competitions, and victors. I'm guessing there won't be any murders at these parties or in these classrooms, but while these reenactments are taking place, somewhere in our country a child will undoubtedly be killed at the hands of another child. Our complicity in the violence shown on the nightly news may not be as direct as that of the citizens of the Capitol, but it's only through our inaction and misconception that there's nothing we can do about it that such violence is allowed to continue.
By focusing on action at the expense of introspection, the book and film miss an opportunity to teach a real lesson about cyclical violence, the role we all play in perpetuating it, and our responsibility to make the right decisions. The Hunger Games could have taught us that we don't have to engage in violence or kill; that even when the odds aren't ever in our favor, we can just choose to not play the game.

There is some great hiking around the tops for the more adventurous accessing the best powder snow and the views from there are really magnificent and definitely worth the effort.

Defeater is a pretty cool hardcore band with two releases out on Bridge Nine that you should own. If you haven't already picked them up yet, please do yourself a favor. Read on to see what Jay Maas had to tell us and note the sarcasm after what is most definitely a silly question. If he ever acts this way around you, just remember that people like him usually use sarcasm to hide their insecurities.
PRT: You're nearing the end of your European tour... what's it been like so far?
Jay: It has been unbelievable. We are treated so well here and the kids are so responsive. We get to tour with two great bands, who have become amazing friends of ours. The turnouts have been great and all the promoters have been happy. I don't know what else to say--we are grateful for this every single day. We take nothing for granted and are just truly humbled by how well this all went.
PRT: For the people out there who haven't yet heard Defeater, if the band was the lovechild of two other acts, which bands would've had sex and which position were you conceived in?
Jay: Oh my god. One part SNFU and one part the sound track to the movie "Juice" starring 2Pac Shakur. Your mom showed all of us a new position the other night and it's literally indescribable, but rest assured, it's the position that irrelevant punk band and 2Pac (who is still very much alive) had sex in to form my band.
PRT: You guys were originally called Sluts. Did all of you suddenly get girlfriends who didn't approve?
Jay: Oh cool, another well thought out question. There are only two members of this band playing what they used to play in Sluts. It's a different thing entirely. I assume you'll want me to extrapolate on that a bit. Defeater is the meeting of the right five people. We all share a vision for this project and work hard to make honest music that we are proud of. It is what we plan to leave behind in this life. The creative and artistic aspects of it are the most important parts of the band to me.
PRT: You're signed to a hardcore label, you sound like a hardcore band but at the same time it seems like there's something else going on as well. Do you think you will release music in the future that will have your average hardcore kid scratching his head?
Jay: Every Defeater record from this point on comes with free lice. So yes, if you open any future records directly over your head when you first get them, you will more than likely end up scratching your head; unless you have ungodly will power. Then you'll just really want to, and sneak a scratch when no one is looking, you pussy.We really do not care about genres. If they do something for people, that's awesome. I am a lover of music, not hardcore music, punk music or whatever. I plan to continue to not give a shit about anything except making the best music we are capable of, no matter what that means. Bridge 9 is the best label we could ever ask for and I think it is selling them short to call them a "hardcore" label.
PRT: Both 'Lost Ground' and 'Travels' are concept releases with a whole story behind 'em. Now concept albums aren't that frequent in the hardcore scene. Was that something you set out to do from the beginning?
Jay: I like how you typed "'em," it really gives the illusion that we are actually talking.We did in fact set out to do that from the beginning. As I said before, this is what I want to leave behind. My scope for the band is fairly big in an artistic sense. If people keep enjoying it, that will consequently continue to make me a really happy guy. I spend a lot of time talking about the direction of this band with our singer, Derek, in terms of the story and the music, but also about artwork and how to tie everything into one package. Not everyone will take the time to look deep and pick up on everything, but at least it is there if they want to.
PRT: I read that all future releases will tie in with the story you started on 'Travels'. Are there any plans to continue the story through other media as well? Like a book, a comic, a short movie? I could seriously see you guys pull that off.
Jay: We have definitely talked about a lot of things like that. I just want to make sure if we were to do something outside of the "band forum," if you will, that we take a lot of care with it. I'd rather release nothing than do something that sucked.
PRT: 'Travels' first came out on Topshelf Records before you moved on to Bridge 9, the label for which Seth from Topshelf works. What was it like to get signed to Bridge 9? Can you give me a couple of examples of what that changed for you?
Jay: There is the ceremonial drinking of Chris Wrenn's blood of course, but that's what everyone talks about. I really liked the part when we had to write down our social security numbers and sign our names. It was mind blowing stuff.Bridge 9 goes to bat for its bands. There is no better home for Defeater. What has changed is that now, along with Seth, we work with a crew of really talented people who share our vision for producing music worth listening to. They have opened many doors for us and given us an amazing foundation to create from. We are so grateful.
PRT: Your drummer runs an eco-van company for bands on tour and 'Travels' came out on recycled material. How important are things like that for you guys?
Jay: Very. It really doesn't take much to do your part. Lost Ground was on all recycled materials as well. Actually, everything we do will be. There is generally a way to get things accomplished AND waste less, it just takes a little thought and follow through.
PRT: What's up next for you guys after this tour?
Jay: Writing, writing, writing. We will be playing some shows this summer, but not a ton. I need to record our new record this fall and then it will be back on the road for us. Doin' the damn thing.

Now Open: Wild Child Pizzette
Built on a decade-old promise and dough-making philosophy, The Cicheti Group's latest opening defies all conventions of a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria with big swings—on smaller canvases—at modern tastes.
DOWNLOAD PDF TO PRINT
Neapolitan pizzas. That was all chef co-owner Lim Yew Aun wanted to be rolling, kneading, and slinging out from his two-tonne, Hershey-shaped wood-fired oven when the first Cicheti concept was being dreamed up alongside his cousin and restaurateur Liling Ong in 2013—almost a decade ago.
"We'll open a pizzeria… when we're ready," was the promise Ong made then. With that, the fresh-faced duo went on to mark their debut on the local food and beverage scene with a safer, albeit relatively unknown trattoria concept, slowly earning a reputation for its unlikely proposition: an all-local kitchen team serving up Italian regional specialties that don't fall short including authentic, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas in an unpretentious, rustic-chic setting tucked in Singapore's Arab quarters.
Nine years on, the duo has gone on to become a trio, inoculating top sommelier Ronald Kamiyama into the leadership team as business partner, and along with him a treasure trove of illuminating wine discoveries and dad jokes to be had and told. The humble trattoria has grown from strength to strength into a full-fledged eponymous restaurant group, serving as the blueprint for its sister concepts that each offer their own distinctive perspectives—with a shared homespun appreciation—on Italian cuisine. 2019 saw the opening of Bar Cicheti, Singapore's first pasta and natural-slanted wine bar; followed by Caffe Cicheti in 2020, a modern-day osteria peddling fresh, bright flavours found up and down the coasts of Italy with highly quaffable wines.
"When we're ready", as it turns out, came in August 2021 when the doors finally flung open to its fourth outlet and long-awaited pizza-focused concept – Wild Child Pizzette.
"We've been ready and ramping up towards the opening for some time now, but the pandemic forced us to shift gears and focus on getting our existing outlets past the hump. The extra time, however, gave us the perfect opportunity to encapsulate all the lessons we've learned over the years, and devote them into refining a pizzeria and bar experience that is the sum of all our wildest imagination and best parts."
Ong, on the decision to open amidst a frenzied industry finding its footing in the transition to a new COVID-19 endemic landscape.
All good things come in 10 inches
As its name suggests, Wild Child centres its food menu around Neapolitan style pizzette. Typically used to reference smaller sized pizzas, each pizzetta in Wild Child measures right up to a snug 10 inches – the ideal size for a single diner, and the perfect excuse to order a variety to share across the table. The heart and soul of each pizzetta is baked on a slow-fermented, Neapolitan style crust that starts with a traditional Italian pre-yeast Biga and undergoes two stages of fermentation that takes no less than 60 hours each time. The dough-making philosophy is one that chef Aun and his team of pizzaiolos have spent the better part of the last decade perfecting at Cicheti, and lends itself to a crust that—with mere minutes blasted in the wood-fired oven—seals in a unique flavour, imparting an irresistibly moist, light and airy texture that yields to a bite that's chewy yet crisp, all at once.
10 INCHES, FOUR SLICES, MORE CHOICES
Departing from the traditional toppings that Cicheti's pizzas are known for, Wild Child chooses to adopt a more modern flavour profile, while remaining decidedly and authentically Italian. While the menu still has a soft spot for a conventional Margherita D.O.P. (S$19.50) which offers the holy grail of tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, grana padano, and extra virgin olive oil to keep traditionalists in check , it also deviates into more playful variations such as Crispy Fried Margherita (S$21) which unabashedly dunks the pizza dough into a deep fryer before topping it with creamy clouds of stracciatella, sweet bursts of semi-dried San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil and thick shavings of aged parmigiana.
Flavour bombs come in all forms—three, to be exact. A simple Marinara ($15.50) packs its punch from Cicheti's famed "mother sauce", a hand-milled, slow-simmered house tomato sauce loaded with chef Aun's favourite ingredient—heaps and heaps of garlic—that's further accentuated with a judicious sprinkling of Sicilian oregano, slivers of fresh garlic and trusty basil. Old is spun into gold with Trio Formaggio (S$19), a three-cheese deviation from the traditional four cheese classic that swaps out the funkiness of gorgonzola with taleggio's mild, fruity tang, while caramelised onions lend an irresistible sweetness to every bite. On the other end of the spectrum, Spiniata Calabrese ($19) is a feisty number named after a spicy salame from Calabria characterised by its fiery pepperoncino flavour. Topped with fennel seeds on a bed of fior di latte, the salami is blasted in the wood-fired oven till crisped at the edges, its intense heat sparing no subtlety with a heavy-handed drizzle of Sichuan chilli honey.
Eating your greens come easy with options such as Cavolo Nero (S$18.50), a pizzetta that bring out the deep and earthy sweetness of Tuscan kale with bright bursts of lemon and pickled onions – resulting in the perfect contrast needed to counter the sharp, intense flavours of bagna cauda and garlic confit. Peperonata (S$18.50) brings to the table a grilled summer medley of roasted seasonal peppers, onions and spicy jalapeño brought together with a nutty pesto spread.
PRE AND POST PIZZETTE VICTUALS
With the pizzette selection front and centre, an array of hot and cold antipasti (anti-pizzette) and homemade desserts (post-pizzette) are available to round off the meal delightfully. Standouts to start include Bikini (S$18.50), a slow-braised beef cheek marmalade layered with melted taleggio and provolone sandwiched between toasted pizza dough bread; and Kurobuta (from S$17 for 200g)—or as chef Aun endearingly refers to as "siew yoke"—which sees the black pork belly seasoned with a secret blend of spices and roasted until it forms an ASMR-inducing crackling, served with house-fermented giardiniera and a crackerjack chilli oil. Vegetarian options once again don't fall short with Cauliflower (S$14.50) roasted for a beautiful char, served with coriander, mint and a fistful of chopped pistachios on a bed of creamy labneh. Caesar-ish (S$15.50) goes beyond just questionable naming conventions and into an upgrade of the oft-overlooked salad staple by dressing nuttier, crunchier endive spears in lieu of crisp romaine lettuce, finished with focaccia croutons, shavings of aged parmigiana and a cured egg yolk begging to be broken into and join in the fun.
End your meal on a satisfying burp and literal high with a slice of homemade Pecan Tart (S$13). Freshly baked every morning, a brown sugar-bourbon pecan filling rich with complex praline flavours without being cloyingly sweet is firmly encased into a perfectly flaky and buttery shortcrust pastry shell, sliced to order, and topped with a boozy whisky gelato and drizzles of caramel and bourbon sauce. Keep it PG-13 with an unbelievably creamy Pistachio Gelato (S$7), sweet where it matters while allowing the nutty savouriness of chopped pistachios and sea salt to come through.
Take a sip of the wild stuff
As with every Cicheti concept, Kamiyama has devised a beverage programme built around the brand's identity, the locale and its audience, and an innate ability to go hand in hand with the food offering – all while favouring a more "natural" selection from producers that adopt organic, biodynamic, and sustainable practices. Keeping in line with the all things "wild", Kamiyama has chosen to do away with your run-of-the-mill, insert-number-strong wine list, and go off-the-book and on an almost nerdy tangent.
TO TRUST AND TO DISCOVER
Wine drinkers are asked to take a leap of faith by ordering from a by-the-glass menu as vague as something Bubbly, Macerated (rosé or orange), White (light and citrus or round and fruity), or Red (light and fresh or round and fruity). This new-fangled approach allows Kamiyama to keep the wine curation fresh and drinkers curiously on their toes, with fun surprises at every turn. A listed bottle selection, La Enoteca, is available, with enlightening categories such as Italy's lesser-known Native varietals to the Famous Bordeaux's and Barolo's; bottle-fermented Bubbly varietals to long skin macerated Orange wines; an International selection of wines outside Italy and even a Wild wine option which lets the sommelier choose from one of Kamiyama's favourite "fermented grape juice".
TO GUZZLE AND TO NURSE
Noting its proximity to the CBD and the busy Boat Quay stretch, Kamiyama has chosen to also widen the beverage offering beyond wines and delve into ancient nihonshu and funky craft beers – good times guzzlers that can easily be enjoyed after work or nursed late into the night, while never seeming out of a slice of pizzetta in hand. The sake selection reads like a page straight out of Kamiyama's wine bible – favouring traits such as indigenous and organic rice strains; or ancient cultivation methods such as native yeasts and self-cultivated kōji, all prized for their high polish rates. A menu of six craft beers—one of each style and each from a different brewery from around the word—keeps the experience fuss-free and hopheads humble. Happy hour, or "The Smackdown Hour" as Kamiyama declares, runs from 5.30pm to 6.30pm every day of the week with a straight 10 per cent discount on all bottles, or—for the winos feeling lucky—a "Blinder" quiz where a blind taste test on a mystery bottle of wine followed by their best out of three answers on the wine's origins will determine tiered discounts winners can enjoy that range from a 25 per cent off to the entire bottle on the house. Diners and bar seat warmers can also choose from two "Sommakase" options (S$39 a la carte, S$32 per pax for parties of 4 and more) that allow the sommelier to choose a flight of three pours of wines that best complement their meal ahead.
An unlikely oasis of creativity and calm
Situated along a winding row of conservation shophouses on Circular Road—where the hustle of the CBD, like clockwork and the sun, melts away into the bustling Boat Quay riverfront—Wild Child stands out at first glance for its clean, minimalist aesthetic and brightly lit interiors, juxtaposed by stacks of bright red pizza boxes in overhead shelves that can't help but catch the eye. Step in for a meal and you'll meet a curious cast of Keith Haring-inspired doodles scattered throughout touch points that pop up at every turn, while old-school hip hop gems streaming from a twin set of Devialet Phantom speakers blend seamlessly into the background. The unlikely setting was dreamed up by Ong, who commissioned Amsterdam-based interior design firm Studio Königshausen, local art collective Ripple Root, and DJ wunderkind Mr. Has—all of whom are long-time collaborators of The Cicheti Group—to help bring her vision to life.
Minimal Japanese Modernism
Slip under a striking red awning and past the five-foot way, where every expectation of what a pizzeria might begin to look like is best left behind a pair of tatami-style lattice sliding doors, which reveals a narrow ground floor shophouse unit wrapped in a crisply detailed cloak of white Japanese oak from wall to wall. Elsewhere, black terrazzo flooring grounds the pale wood composition by way of contrast, while wooden ceiling baffles add a clean, complementary character and enhanced acoustics perfect for a buzzy restaurant. Sharp, clean lines carve out a bar counter that extends into a semi-open kitchen, occupying one-half of the restaurant while offering up to 36 diners seated on the other half unfettered views of the team at work, including an authentic wood-fired oven specially shipped in from Naples that peeks out at the dining area as it burns brightly all day long.
The bad boys of pizza and pop art
A closer look into some of the visual branding elements and key touch points might suggest that American pop art icon of the eighties Keith Haring—an artist widely credited for putting street art on the global map—was the inspiration for Ong, who indeed drew parallels between Haring's unconventional rise to fame in the art world and her rule-breaking, oft-stubborn cousin and chef, Aun. She explains further, "Similar to Haring, Aun's independent journey to express himself through his craft wholeheartedly, despite it going against every convention and norm, is something that has always inspired me and I wanted to translate that across somehow."
Having worked with Ripple Root through the years—she commissioned one of their earlier Peranakan murals on the walls of Cicheti and a custom oil painting at Bar Cicheti—Ong entrusted the duo once again to create a visual identity for Wild Child that pays homage to Haring's energetic and carefree icons. She went insofar as approaching local ceramics studio ves.studio to produce a custom series of raw porcelain sconces with the designs etched on, adding a distinct character to the warm glow against the walls
Hip hop's defining age
Taking cues from Haring's well-documented love affair with the burgeoning hip-hop scene of New York City in the eighties, a sublime curation of old-school hip-hop influences all the way from New York to Japan put together by music maverick Mr. Has was the final touch to pull the entire concept together, culminating in an experiential sweet spot that marries the sleek planarity of minimal Japanese modernism and American-cool aesthetic of Keith Haring's exuberant art and influences.
"Wild Child, as the name suggests, is essentially a platform for Aun, Ronald and myself to explore and get creative with our own tropes, and put it all behind a product that we've spent the past decade perfecting, and are committed to continue growing on all fronts. It's a deeply personal project to us that started with a simple promise almost a decade ago. We're extremely fortunate to be able to collaborate with our friends we've met along the way who happen to be some of the best in their craft, in creating an authentic, engaging Wild Child vibe and experience that was inspired by one of our own, and now reimagined for every guest who walks through our doors. We're beyond excited to see what the future holds from here on out."

Manish Goswami, Suhas H. Mangoli and Narendra Jawali Different types of biochemical and physiological factors (including commonly used cellular anddietary antioxidants) affect the activity of therapeutic antibiotics. The findings from our lab haveshown that the presence of glutathione, N-acetylcysteine or ascorbic acid in the growth mediumdecreases the bacterial susceptibility towards fluoroquinolone and aminoglycoside antibiotics. Howeverthe mechanism behind the antioxidant mediated protection against these two groups of antibioticscould be different. In addition, presence of glutathione increased antibacterial activity of β-lactamantibiotics showing that glutathione could act as a differential antibiotic susceptibility modulator forbacteria. Our data therefore demonstrate that therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotic treatment couldbe modulated by the dietary intake and cellular level of these antioxidants.
In our lab, we are studying the effect of dietary andcellular antioxidants on antibacterial effect of Antibiotics are natural or synthetic compounds with commonly used antibiotics. Dietary supplements selective bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects that eliminate pathogens or slow their growth such that E (α-tocopherol), having antioxidant properties, are host defense mechanisms can clear the infection.

We have used wild type E. coli K-12 strain MG1655as the model test organisms for our study. Duringthe course of our studies we have examined theeffect of a number of antioxidants viz. glutathione,ascorbic acid, histidine, mannitol, sodium pyruvateand α-ketoglutarate on susceptibility of MG1655against antibiotics such as streptomycin,chloramphenicol, tetracycline, ampicillin, penicillinand ciprofloxacin etc. After initial rounds ofstandardization 10 mM of antioxidant concentrationwas chosen for further studies (depending on theirmaximum achievable intra-cellular concentrationand toxic side effects). The major findings of ourstudies are abridged under following sub-headings: Fig. 1: Decreased susceptibility of MG1655 towards ciprofloxacin in the presence of 10 mM glutathione (GSH) or Ascorbic acid (ASC). C-1, C-2, C-3 and C-4correspond to 40, 200, 400 and 2000 ng ofciprofloxacin spotted on the Whatman disk.
The effects of antioxidants on the antibioticsusceptibility of MG1655 were first analyzed by the MG1655 in LB-agar in presence and absence of antibiotic disk diffusion method, in which zone of either antioxidant as per the clinical laborarory inhibition around the antibiotic disk placed on the standard institute (CLSI) guidelines and our results bacterial cell lawn reveals antibiotic susceptibility showed that the protective effect against of the bacteria under study.

The action of antibiotics such as fluoroquinolone group of antibiotics, which act by chloramphenicol and tetracycline was not visibly affected due to presence of these antioxidants. Other topoisomerase IV activities. It was further found that antioxidants, such as histidine, mannitol (scavengers GSH gives protection against other fluoroquinolones specific for singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals as well such as ofloxacin, norfloxacin and respectively), sodium pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate gatifloxacin (please see table 1 and reference 3 for did not alter MG1655 susceptibility towards any of the antibiotics (data not shown) suggesting thatonly nonspecific antioxidants (capable of neutralizing different types of ROS) having low redox potential ciprofloxacin could be through scavenging of ROS could provide protection against ciprofloxacin.

Furthermore E. coli cells having any of the multi-copy sod genes showed better survival in comparison to wild type parent strain at low ciprofloxacin concentration (3). Our genetic data therefore suggested that the antibacterial action of ciprofloxacin involves ROS, such as superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide and antioxidant mediated protection against ciprofloxacin could be Like in case of ciprofloxacin, GSH and ASC were susceptibility of MG1655 was studied.

Ourresults showed that GSH and ASC were effectiveagainst streptomycin in the above mentioned strainsas well. It implies that, irrespective of the geneticbackground, GSH and ASC interfere with a stepthat is crucial for antibacterial action of streptomycinin E. coli.
Our genetic data suggested that unlike ciprofloxacin,mitigated streptomycin susceptibility of E. coli cellsis not due to antioxidant mediated scavenging ofROS.

However, we foundthat this effect was specific to GSH, as the presenceof ASC did not make any difference to the antibioticsusceptibility of MG1655.

I am Byeongho. If you need a POSITIVE and FUN Korean lessons, I am here for you!
I went to a state university in Minnesota, USA and I majored International Relations. Back then, I taught 4~6th graders in Korean Language School as a Korean teacher for 2.5 years. It was a unusual experience for me, because most of them were Korean adoptees. I loved teaching them not only the language but also the culture of their motherland. And I started to have a passion to teach my language.
About my lesson, I want to teach you Korean mainly focusing on conversation. Many Korean learning students know grammars well, but they have difficult time to make a natural sentence and have a conversation with Korean native speakers. So I want to help you with listening and speaking, also I will help you with grammar to make you to be fluent in Korean language.
지금은 유럽에서 가장 가난한 나라에 가서 고아나 가난한 학생들의 학비를 지원해주는 봉사활동을 할 계획을 가지고 있습니다. 저희 집은 너무 가난했지만 저는 장학금을 통해서 대학교를 무료로 다닐 수 있었지요. 이제는 제가 다른 사람에게 그 행복을 돌려줄 차례라고 생각합니다. 여러분의 수업에서 받는 돈의 많은 부분은 이 활동에 사용될 거에요. 저의 프로젝트에 동참해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
and also thank you for your love to Korean language.

Dead on, Poolsturgeon. This is a meaningless shambles and to describe it as a hurling classic is an insult to the game. There must be money in it for someone as otherwise it wouldn't be happening. It's a nice little break for the players which I don't begrudge them for, but it's far removed from the reality of what the GAA is supposed to represent.

No body cares about it in Ireland. In the U.S. you have people mouthing about a game that is only a watered down format of the real game and should not be played as, to show case the sport.

? I'm pretty sure they do already have a meaningful game between the top two for promotion to the McCarthy it's called the McDonagh cup final and it's very meaningful because it gets you promoted to McCarthy cup.
Or are you advocating moving the McDonagh cup final to NY in November?

Replying To carlovia: "I spend way too much time telling people how good carlow hurlers are.
Tough luck on Rathdowney-Errill as well, seriously good team."
Nobody doubts the quality of hurling in Carlow at this stage. The quantity is an issue for you if you are to maintain top tier status.

I actually didn't even know it was on, and yes bar it been a nice well deserved break for the players involved, it's a joke of a game. Have to laugh at the report on the homepage on Hoganstand of the game between Kilkenny and Tipperary, where it actually stated that Kilkenny gained some revenge for their All Ireland defeat by hammering Tipperary. Seriously how does winning a pointless meaningless game constitute any kind of revenge?

If I was living in Boston/New York I'd be really looking for to this competition. Nice idea. The players seem to really enjoy it.

Absolute load of nonsense - GAA should be ashamed of themselves... How come the likes of Laois, Westmeath, Offaly and Kerry don't get a chance to take part?

Q: asp.net Global.asax Application_Start I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with framework 3.5.
I have created an asp.net website from scratch and I have added an Global.asax to the project.
On global.asax, there is the Application_Start event. I have placed a breakpoint on that event and started debugging the website and I noticed it hits the breakpoint. But if I closed the website and start debuggin again the breakpoint is not hit. If I stop the ASP.NET Development Server and start debugging again, then the breakpoint is hit again.
So, reading on this article:
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/working-with-the-aspnet-globalasax-file/5771721
it says: The Application_Init and Application_Start events are fired once when the application is first started.
So I'm guessing that means when the application is first started with the server. I guess the same thing would happen with IIS, one would need to restart the IIS so that the Application_Start is fired again.
If this is the case with global.asax, then I can't use it.
The thing is I want a piece of code to be executed every time a specific page on my website is accessed.
In order to accomplish this I would need to put that code on my master page or in the specific page of the site?
Thanks...

A: I believe Application_BeginRequest might be what you are looking for.

A: The way I see it, is to put the desired code on the Page_Load event of the specific page in which the behavior is required.
But also, if it's something that is required for all pages it could be placed on the master page Page_Load event so that it fires every time any page on the site is accessed.
If I'm wrong with this answer please correct me. Thanks!
