diamonds total weight c. 40 ct, manufactured at the behest of Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria on the occasion of her daughter Archduchess Hedwig's wedding to Count Bernhard zu Stolberg-Stolberg, gold 580 and silver, an old-cut diamond c. 2.80 ct, two old-cut diamonds total weight c. 2.40 ct, smaller old-cut diamonds and diamond rhombs total weight c. 34.80 ct, workmanship 1918, total weight 132.4 g, the diadem is also divisible into 7 brooches, fitted case for the diadem, an extra fitted case for 7 numbered brooch elements, 6 ornamental elements with additional components, 3 handwritten cards signed Countess Hedwig zu Stolberg-Stolberg When Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria commissioned the Royal & Imperial Court and Chamber Jewellers Köchert to make a wedding diadem for her daughter Hedwig, the war of the previous few years was already casting dark shadows on the royal and imperial Danube monarchy. After the events in Russia and the war in Italy, on 20 April 1918 the "Neuigkeits-Welt-Blatt" newspaper only offered a small report on page 3 on the impending wedding of Count Bernhard of Stolberg-Stolberg to Archduchess Hedwig of Austria-Tuscany. The wedding took place in Wallsee Castle in Lower Austria on 24 April 1918. Due to the political situation, it was a small wedding attended by close family only. Emperor Karl and Empress Zita sent representatives. line with this, the wedding present from Archduchess Marie Valerie also looked almost modest. Made from seven individual pieces, the diadem resembles a broad hairband, broken up with three double loops. This piece of jewellery drew on individual stylistic elements that had already been used in older drafts by Köchert between 1890 and 1895 and which also crop up in bracelets, necklaces and brooches. The navette-shaped straight and symmetrical bars contrast with the almost playful loops created from double bands. The overall appearance is not showy: instead, it offers a sophisticated and elegant finishing touch. To highlight the diamonds located at the heart of each loop, a halo setting (a circle of diamonds around a central stone) was selected. The construction of the piece itself offers additional options for the wearer: all seven parts can be worn individually as brooches. The casings and tools required for this conversion have been kept in full and are stored in their own case. Converting the diadem into brooches, of course, gives innumerable variants for the wearer; the individual elements can even be integrated into hair up-dos. In addition to the historical background, this piece of jewellery is special thanks to its exceptionally good condition and the completeness of the accessories. The handwritten cards from Countess Hedwig of Stolberg-Stolberg provided with the diadem prove the personal relationship between the original owner and this exceptional item up for auction.

Q: Limit sliding UISlider past certain point Let's assume a have a UISlider to which I set a certain value. The slider handle then moves to that value, as expected.
Now I want to let the user slide the handle of the slider back and forth, but to not set the value of the UISlider to be less, than I assigned to it programmatically.
So for example I have a UISlider with a min value of 0 and a max value of 100 and I set its value to be 50. I don't want the user to slide "lefter" than 50 but on the "right" of it I want to let the user slide the handle back and forth.
How do you implement this sort of behaviour in Obj-C?

A: This one is very easy, actually :)
Create an action and assign it as selector for valueChanged action of UISlider. Inside that method, perform a simple check:
If slider's value is less than 50, set it to 50.
If you need any further help, I can write some sample code after my class. Hope it helps!

A: Connect your slider to valueChanged: action. You should implement it something like:
- (void)mySliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)slider
{
  CGFloat myMinValue = 50.0f; // should be a global variable

  if(slider.value < myMinValue)
  {
    slider.value = myMinValue;
  }
}

A: You should first make sure the updates event are sent continuously:
mySlider.continuous = YES;

You can also do that in your storyboard/nib (as mentionned by @fDmitry, this is the default state in IB).
Then you have to link your slider to an IBAction in your .h file (create a link by ctrl-dragging from IB to your code), and assign it to the "Value Changed" event of your slider. This will create a method like this:
-(IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(id)sender;

Implement it that way:
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(id)sender {

    float maxValue = 50.0f;

    if ([(UISlider*)sender value] > maxValue) {
        [(UISlider*)sender setValue:maxValue];
    }
}

TRUAX FAMILY LINES
Debbie Jennings
11th Great Granddaughter of Phillipe Du Trieux
FOR DESCENDENCY CHART
http://www.angelfire.com/in3/longagoandfaraway/page41a.html
IndianaResearch@aol.com
My earliest ancestor documented in the Truax lineage is Phillipe Du Trieux b. about 1560. With this very early date, I, of course have no details into his life.The first notable change in the spelling of the surname to the current TRUAX, was made by Phillipe's great grandson, Phillip, son of Jacob Du Trieux. I don't think "he" actually changed the spelling himself, but that is when the notice is made in records. The immigrant of this line was the son of the above Phillipe. His name was Phillipe Antoni Du Trieux born in 1586 in Roubaix, France.He first married to Jacquemine Noiret in 1615 in France, they had 4 known children.Jacquemine died in about 1620, Phillipe remarried to Susannah Du Chesne in 1621 in Holland, they had 7 known children. This couple immigrated to the US in 1624, settling in the area known as New Amsterdam. This area later was New York.My descent from this line is through the fourth child of the second marriage; Jacob Du Trieux who was born in 1645 in New Amsterdam and later married Lysbeth Post in 1674. Although, Jacob was born in New Amsterdam and died in Delaware--apparently they were in Monmouth county New Jersey at some point, as their son Phillip and my ancestor was born their about 1676.Phillip married Sarah Larue and I have one known child for them, there were undoubtedly more.Their son was Jacob Larue Truax born in 1705, Jacob married Rebecca Stillwell in Monmouth co. NJ in 1729. It is beginning with their children that I have the most knowledge of the Truax lineage.Jacob and Rebecca had 11 children and their first one is my direct line ancestor, Benjamin. Benjamin who was born in 1761 married Parthenia Pittman, this family continued to remain in Monmouth county, New Jersey. Of the 5 children born to this couple my 5th great grandfather was their first born; William in 1762. About 1773, the family migrated to Bedford county, Pennsylvania where William married Ailcy Combs in 1783. Later, William and Ailcy migrated south to Nelson county Kentucky in 1787, to settle just west of where Bardstown KY is located. In 1823, William moved his family to the Owen county Indiana area, and remained there until his death in 1835. By all accounts, William was a most successful man. In his will, he well provides for just about everyone known in his family, saying they are to be cared for their entire lives and their burial expenses also cared for from his estate. Both he and Ailcy joined the Little Mount Baptist Church in 1825 as the church records show. They are both buried in the Old section of the cemetery by the same name, that used to sit to the side of the church. Although through William's children the Truax family is joined with the Baldwin, Evans,Murphy and Wilson lines in early Owen county. It is his son, James Allison Truax that I directly descend from. James married first to Mariah Baldon and after her death he married Arlitta Chambers. Thier son, John Truax was my 3rd great grandfather; his daughter, Monnie Truax married Stockton Lockhart and they were the parents of my great grandfather, Charles Lockhart. If anyone is researching these lines and would like to exchange info, I urge them to contact me, please.

Police besiege PCC over planned nationwide strike by staff
Home » Police besiege PCC over planned nationwide strike by staff
By Lawrence Olaoye
Heavily armed policemen and other security agencies yesterday took over the premises of the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) headquarters in Abuja, following plans by the aggrieved members of staff of the Commission to embark on nationwide strike.
The workers in a three-page petition with Ref. No: ASCSN/ABJ/PCC/VOL.I/197, dated 9th, July 2014 and addressed to Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) specifically kicked against what they described as illegal appointment of the Commission's Secretary, Mr Peter Nwakpa Nwafia, who has been compulsorily retired by the Ebonyi State Service Commission and was smuggled into the Federal Civil Service.
The aggrieved staff in a protest letter signed by Isaac Ojemhenke, Secretary General of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), however issued a 21-day ultimatum for the termination of Nwkpa's purported appointment as the Secretary of the Commission.
They alleged that "Mr. Peter Nwafia Nwakpa, who has continued to collect salaries though IPPIS as Director in the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity in addition to what he is getting as Secretary to the Public Complaint Commission, has sworn before the staff of Public Complaints Commission that, as a former Director in the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, nothing will come out of the said conciliatory meetings initiated by labour."
They have been instructed to deal with the Labour leaders and staff for agitating for their fundamental human rights. "There is a total break down in administration and civilization as the above public office holders are now using their powers to oppress and intimidating people.
They had promised to sack the staff of Public Complaints Commission for protesting against social injustice perpetrated against them," they alarted.
Some of the staff, who spoke with our Correspondent, expressed dismay over the threat posed by the presence of armed policemen and other security agencies deployed to the PCC headquarters.
"Most of the staff are hanging around because they are not comfortable with the presence of the heavily armed policemen and other security personnel brought into the headquarters of the Commission.
"To safeguard our lives, a high-level meeting among the labour leaders is ongoing after which we will mobilized to the Federal Ministry of Labour for further deliberation," he stated.
The workers also protested against irregular payment of salaries; no utility vehicle for core departments especially investigation; poor welfare of staff, among others.
Since the coming of these people on board, they have not been paid last month salaries, they claimed.

Irish Defence Forces Will UseHarris Corporation Falcon(r) II Radios
WEBWIRE – Wednesday, April 18, 2007
ROCHESTER, NY — Harris Corporation has received contracts valued at $3 million from the Irish Defence Forces for Falcon®II tactical communications systems. The Harris Falcon II radios are already widely used by the Irish Defence Forces for peacekeeping missions around the world.
Under the terms of the contracts, Harris will provide its RF-5800H HF (High Frequency) manpack radios and accessories. The RF-5800H uses software-defined radio technology to provide advanced waveforms and IP networking capabilities, allowing reliable, long-range voice and data communication under demanding conditions.
"The Falcon II HF and VHF radios have become essential to the Irish Defence Forces' support of ongoing UN and Partnership for Peace operations abroad," said Colonel Brian McQuaid, director of CIS for the Irish Defence Forces. "Our forces operate under difficult conditions on three different continents. The Harris Falcon II systems have become a lifeline for our men and women serving abroad."
"The Irish Defence Forces' continued investment in Harris Falcon II radio systems is a tribute to the system's superior performance in harsh and challenging environments," said Ed Lockwood, vice president of International Sales, Harris RF Communications.
The Harris Falcon II family of tactical radios is designed for manpack, vehicular, base station and handheld use. The software-based radios provide a common platform, operation, and logistics, and also feature upgradeable, embedded security.

Last week I had the privilege of being part of faculty for the launch of the Presidio Institute's Cross-Sector Leadership Program in San Francisco. My role in representing IISC was to lead conversation around core concepts and frameworks related to the design and facilitation of complex multi-stakeholder change processes. The last day I partnered with Jennifer Splansky Juster from the Collective Impact Forum to do a deeper dive around collaborative process design, with Jen offering more guidance around the specifics of taking a "collective impact" approach. During this session, I invited Fellows to step back and take a deeper view of their cross-sector change work by reflecting on the framework above, the essence of which I have inherited from the thinking and work of Carol Sanford.
Technology/Methodology – One observation I offered from many complex multi-stakeholder change initiatives is that they can devolve into "tactical sectarianism" – people otherwise aligned around the same big goal fighting over preferred change or problem-solving approach/ technique. Some of this may be resolved by a deeper joint exploration of context (What is the core challenge/opportunity? What is our desired future? What influencing factors must we consider?), but also by looking into some other underlying assumptions . . .
Ontology – The question at this level has to do with how we understand human "being." I was struck during a visit with the Fellows to Google to hear the statement – "We believe that if we give people freedom, they will do amazing things." This is a statement about human being, or at least the beings that Google hires. Our change techniques are often a reflection of what we believe about human nature. What do we believe about the starting point and potential of people implicated in our change work? Do we have different beliefs about different people? Why?
Cosmology – Underlying or associated with our view of human being is a worldview, a cosmology. It is significant, for example, whether we see the world operating as a machine or as an evolving and dynamic system and how human beings fit into that view. Are we cogs or dynamic contributors? What do we believe about the world and the nature of change itself? How are our change methods an expression of this (or not)?
Curious to hear reactions to this framework and questions and what they inspire as reflections on your change work.
This is wonderful stuff. You dive much deeper into what l call the need for shared learning that can result in shared understanding and a common agenda. Your observation about tactical sectarianism rings very true. And it's a reflection of organizations using a "solve the problem" lens vs. a "build on the opportunity" lens. Mostly, your framework reinforces the importance of shared learning — if diverse sectors all see the world through a distinct lens it's very difficult to get the type of alignment necessary to achieve change.
Thanks, Chris. Trying to keep it real!


I believe in the Holy Spirit, the His Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to only the Sacred Scriptures, The Bible.
I agree to comply with the rules of the association and willingly forward the cause of Jesus Christ as God and His church though Christian education. .

It is none other than the massive successful version from Nissan, the Nissan Sunny. Based on the same platform from that of a Renault Scala, they have managed to develop this version.
The sedan, code named as L02B, from Nissan has found its way to rule the Indian market and make other competitors go envy upon it. It is none other than the massive successful version from Nissan, the Nissan Sunny. Based on the same platform from that of a Renault Scala, they have managed to develop this version. It was launched on September 20, 2011 with petrol engine alone. However, in 12th December, 2011, the diesel version of the sedan has been also developed and introduced in the Indian market. Altogether, there are three variants of Nissan Sunny, one petrol and two diesel versions. This sedan was born in the Nissan-Renault plant in Chennai and was exported to other countries. The 5 speed, 1.5 L 4 cylinders and 16 valves powered engine has a decent price tag when comes on the road. The ex-showroom price of the whole versions ranges from Rs. 5.93-10 lakhs.
The front grille of Nissan Sunny is highlighted by chrome outline and has muscular bumpers as well. Large meshes are present on the air dams, such that the horn and the radiator are quite clearly visible. The frontal view of the sedan gives a much royal look to it. Since the left side of the grille is blocked, the complete air flow is focused to the right, in order to optimize the air flow towards the air intake inside the hood. The Nissan Sunny has a typical coupe look which resembles that of a sloping roofline. The body color of this premium sedan is worth mentioning. They are rich and premium, and together with the large rear glasses, they provide a royal and airy look to the sedan. The paint used in the sedan is a special weight reduction paint that reduces the overall weight of the sedan by 0.7. Just as from the front, the rear look of the car also gives a premium look. The bumpers look more masculine and are bulgy. Although it lacks the rear fog lamps, they have reflectors that have clusters. The overall length of the sedan is 4425mm, width of 1695mm and height of 1505mm. The ground clearance of the sedan is 165mm.
From the interior, Nissan Sunny looks quite similar to a Nissan Micra. The dashboard design is similar to it as well and is made of plastic which gives a complete fit-and-finish look to the sedan. The door handle is rather chunky, just as that of the base version. The seats are made such that they hug you tightly from all sides and no sides are left unsupported. The beige colored seats give an ample and comfortable look to the sedan. The rounded dashboard gives ample leg space to the driver. On the central armrest in the front, cup holders are embedded within to support battles and magazines. The audio system supports AUX, CD, and USB and has four speakers to ensure that complete comfort and relaxation is given to the passengers. The instrument cluster has two large dials with MID in the center. The sedan offers enough leg space to ensure that the passengers in the rear seat could sit comfortably. The boot space is 490litres.
Nissan Sunny was launched only in the petrol option first but then later, the diesel variant was introduced after seeing the demand for diesel cars in India. Both the variants are packed with five speed manual transmission gearbox. The petrol variant has a capacity to displace 1498cc with a 4 cylinder 16 valve engine producing a maximum power of 100bhp and a maximum torque of 134Nm at 6000rpm. The diesel variant is powered by a 4 cylinder 8 valve SOHC K9K engine which has the capacity to displace 1461cc thus producing peak power of 86bhp at 3750rpm and peak torque of 200Nm at 2000rpm.
Nissan Sunny is stuffed with both active and passive safety features to ensure complete safety of the passengers. The dual SRS airbags in the front, ABS system, EBD with brake assist, front disc brakes, halogen headlamps, seat belts, front fog lamps, engine immobilizer, front and side impacts and impact absorbing body, child lock system, keyless entry system, central locking system and, adjustable day and night rear view mirror features to ensure complete safety of the passengers. For immediate braking of the sedan, the front disk brakes and rear drum brakes are perfect for this. The diesel variants have normal discs while the petrol variants have ventilated discs attached to the wheels.
