JON ANDERSON THE CANYON CLUB July 7, 2012
I've always been a fan of Yes. I've seen them numerous times through the years with various line-ups. The last time I saw them was with Asia and featured the new vocalist, Benoit David. He sounded good, but he obviously wasn't Jon Anderson. Jon was unceremoniously booted from Yes a few years ago due to medical problems. Jon is on his solo tour and seeing him at an intimate local venue was too good to pass up!
Jon mostly plays along with guitar during the set, but he also played piano, ukulele and sitar. His distinctive voice still sounds incredible. He easily sounded good enough to still be in Yes, but apparently he doesn't feel the need to tour as extensively as the schedule the band still maintains (probably among other reasons as well). It was nice seeing him in a relaxed atmosphere telling really cool, candid stories between songs. At 67 years old, he definitely still has it.
Jon had some really great stories- one about a young singer form the band The Undertakers with named Robert Plant and another story about playing at a gig with a young, unknown Joe Cocker. Needless to say, he's been around forever. He also discussed obtaining his US citizenship a while back and played "America by Paul Simon:
I believe this was the last date of his US tour and it was a great way to spend a Saturday evening. Thumbs up to Jon for all the songs, stories and good music!!
While not completely accurate (and until published/ updated), here's a pretty good representation of the set list (give or take a few songs with the set time limit imposed by the venue):
Yours Is No Disgrace
Time and a Word
Under Heaven's Door
Flight of the Moorglade
Open [excerpt]
Give Love Each Day
Unbroken Spirit
Set Sail/ Close to the Edge/Heart of the Sunrise Marry Me Again (Played on Piano)
The Light of Love (Song Played on Ukulele)
And You and I
Tony and Me
To the Runner
Long Distance Runaround
Turn of the Century
Your Move/Give Peace a Chance
I've Seen All Good People
Wondrous Stories
These people below must have forgotten where they were, since they were more interested in having a full-blown loud conversation during the show than they were in enjoying the music. They ruined around half the concert for everyone sitting around them. I took their picture over my shoulder (the flash may have caught their attention) and finally told them they were talking over the music. They toned it down, but never stopped yapping. So much for seeing "all good people" at this show. Inconsiderate concertgoers are never cool. Why attend a concert if you're just going to drink and babble?
The opener was Teresa Russell. She's been very popular in the area for quite some time and I have seen her play on several occasions over the years. Like every other time I've seen her play, she really rocked tonight. I was kicking myself for showing up a few minutes late and missing part of her set. She was doing a really cool song on my way in that sounded fantastic. If I could only have had her rewind it and start over. She's a remarkable talent on both the guitar and vocals and, overall, is a very underrated musician.

An explosion of art events has sparked every April In São Paulo since the inception of Latin America's major art fair thirteen years ago, now ranked, according to The Art Newspaper, the fastest-growing among the world's top twenty. Kindled by the event's expansion, several art-related manifestations are now concentrated during the week's fair. This year alone, more than 180 events have become part of São Paulo's cultural scenario which has led the 2017 edition to rightfully extend its name to SP-Arte/Festival Internacional de Arte de São Paulo. "Over the years, new events have come about outside the fair's limits. SP-Arte has grown into a major satellite celebration that can now be deservedly elevated to art festival status. Day and night, there will be exhibition openings, editorial launches, talks, performances, video screenings, guided tours, cocktails, parties…" explains founder Fernanda Feitosa. The non-stop and vibrant fringe programming notwithstanding, it is inside Oscar Niemeyer's 1957 architectural masterpiece in Ibirapuera Park, the fair's principal artery, where the chief buzz goes on during the five days, including the invitation-only preview on April 5 aimed at big bucks collectors, glitterati, the cognoscenti and, of course, the artists.
The official opening of the 13th SP-Arte Wednesday from 1pm to 10pm (only for those with the Preview invitation card) is all about focusing eyes, cash and energy on the flâneur collector inside you to promenade through this year's mix of 134 galleries, of which ninety are local and the remaining from foreign markets. From Thursday through Sunday its time for the paying public to exercise its esthetic judgment on artworks and collect from the world's most prestigious galleries like New York's David Zwirner and London's Lisson to first-timers in São Paulo such as Francisco Fino (Lisbon), Collage Habana (Cuba), and New York's André Viana Gallery and Cheim & Read that will stage works of Louise Bourgeois, Lynda Benglis and Joan Mitchell. However the big bulk of booths rests with local galleries, including the most influential names in the domestic market such as Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel, Luisa Strina, Mendes Wood DM, Nara Roesler, Vermelho, Millan, Jaqueline Martins, Casa Triangulo, Luciana Brito, Raquel Arnaud, Marilia Razuk, Ricardo Camargo, Almeida & Dale and Dan Galeria.
Friday's main event takes place at 7pm outside the realm of SP-Arte at the opening of Videobrasil's collective video exhibition "Nada Levarei quando morrer aqueles que mim deve cobrarei no inferno" (Nothing with Me When I Die, Those Who Owe Me I'll Collect in Hell). The lengthy name is borrowed from photographer Miguel Rio Branco's 1979 film with the same title inspired by a saying on a wall photographed at Salvador Bahia's Maciel impoverished community of girl prostitutes. The exhibition at Videobrasil runs through June 17.
SP-Arte is mapped into thematic sections; on the ground floor you will find Showcase and Solo. Showcase is an area dedicated exclusively for galleries that have opened in the last ten years, like São Paulo's Galeria Mezanino headed by Renato De Cara and newcomers Aura from Porto Alegre, Cavalo from Rio and Vila Thorey from Espirito Santo state to name a few. Another interesting section on the ground floor is Solo. The area curated by Luiza Teixeira de Freitas comprises, as the name goes, only solo shows by contemporary artists, one of them being Sanja Iveković , an iconic name from the 1950s Croatian avant-garde, brought by espaivisor from Valencia, Spain. London's White Rainbow brings a series by Japanese photo-chronicler Shigeo Anzaï, whose images of perfomer-artists are in itself an object of art.
The section under the curatorship of Italian Jacopo Crivelli Visconti aims at bringing to light works created up to 1980 by artists born before 1950 who deserve wider public acknowledgement for their accomplishments. Among the movements on the rise is Arte Povera coined by art critic Germano Celant for the radical stance of a group of Italian artists in the 1960s/1970, represented in this section by two of its exponents, art theorist Michelangelo Pistoletto brought by San Gimignano's Galleria Continua with branches in Beijing, Les Moulins and Havana, and Pino Pasquali represented by Rome's Studio d'Arte Campaiola. Others not-to-be-missed in this section are English land artist and sculptor Richard Long (Lisson Gallery), German Lothar Baumgarten (Marian Goodman and Franco Noero) and Brazilian photographer Mario Cravo Neto at Paci Contemporary from Brescia, Italy.
This area has two sections not to be missed. One is reserved for a collective of seven contemporary art galleries from Tokyo exhibited under the umbrella of the Japan House. Koyanagi Gallery brings the photography of Hiroshi Sugimoto and Maki Gallery focuses on the installation work of Kishio Suga. Artist Kohei Nawa graphic canvases' were brought by Scai The Bathhouse and Ota Fine Arts of Tokyo and Singapore shows works of Yayoi Kusama. Also on this floor is the Design section with twenty-five booths dedicated solely to Brazilian furniture and objects, contemporary and vintage. The highlights are on the wood furniture of iconic designers Jorge Zalszupin, Sergio Rodrigues, Zanine Caldas and Lina Bo Bardi, and the new generation headed by Irmãos Campana and Jader Almeida.

Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in Australia stands beside Greek youth struggling with drug addiction
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew with Archbishop of Australia Makarios. Photo: Supplied
29 October 2019 2:51pm
Archbishop Makarios is making good on his promise of casting the church's focus on youth.
A rehabilitation centre for drug abuse will open in Melbourne with the support of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Archbishop of Australia Makarios announced during his recent visit to Victoria.
The reason behind this decision is that 38 per cent of Melbourne's youth are using illegal and addictive substances, something that has a great impact on their personal, their family, and school life.
"To this day the Church has put its focus on the elderly. 'Vasiliada' our aged care provider is known throughout Australia with another five facilities in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. Millions of dollars have been allocated in funding but we need to also look at our youth," Archbishop Makarios said.

"At the moment there is a 'chemical war' against Australia and we haven't, unfortunately, realised the graveness of the situation".
The Patriarch himself came up with the idea to build a rehabilitation centre after being briefed about the issue by Archbishop Makarios.
Archiepiscopal Reverend Father of Northcote, Archmandrite Evmenios Vasilopoulos, will be responsible for the project management as the new rehabilitation centre will be housed at the 'Axion Esti' facilities.
Melbourne's Greek Orthodox priests were excited by initiative and expressed their gratitude to the Church and Patriarch Bartholomew.

Q: Is timespec not defined in Windows? It seems weird to me that this answer is hard to find. I've included time.h and ctime, but vc9 is still complaining about an undefined type 'timespec'. I've searched here, MSDN, and the web (even with the exact compiler error), but I can't find the answer... maybe it's just lost in the noise.
Here's the exact error:
error C2027: use of undefined type 'timespec'

Thanks

A: struct timespec comes from posix, and are typically found on unixes, but not on windows.

A: If you are trying to compile code with a *nix-y provenance under Windows then you might be better off with something like cygwin and gcc, which gives you a *nix-like environment.

A: Try including pthread.h . That is where timespec is defined in my ming32 compiler that comes packaged with Codeblocks.
Why? I dont know. Just...
#include <time.h>

#ifndef POSIX MORALITY
    #include <pthread.h>
#endif

Solution 2...
You dont need a prefined timespec! You can define it yourself! Which is what mingw does!
struct timespec { /* details */ };

You dont even have to create timespec. You can create struct Fun or struct Jav::timespec; with the same structure and cast it to timespec*. Doing this makes your code more portable when indeed timespec is defined.

One of Glasgow's greatest success stories of 2017 has just picked up a prestigious accolade.
Gerry Cinnamon took home the Entertainment Award from the Great Scot Awards 2017 over the weekend, and we couldn't be more proud.
The singer songwriter, famous for hits such as Kampfire Vampire, Diamonds in the Mud and Belter has had a stormer of a year, with this just being the ever so sweet icing on the cake.
With an ever-growing loyal fan base, Gerry attracted huge crowds to his TRNSMT performance earlier this year.
The proud Glaswegian took home gold at the glittering awards ceremony last night which honoured hundreds of deserving Scots, both unsung heroes and those in the public eye.
When asked about his music career Gerry said: "I just wanted to play tunes - it's such a hard industry."
Well it's one we think you've cracked, Gerry.
He then took to Twitter to thank fans for helping him get to where he is today.

The Pearson Silver Collection – Sponsoring the North Star Competition
By Andrew Holmes10/07/2020July 13th, 2020No Comments
Home » The Pearson Silver Collection – Sponsoring the North Star Competition
Curator John Andrew reflects on how he became a collector.
It all started with half-a-crown – and an Irish one at that! It is now the largest collection of post-Word War II British silver in private hands with some 900 pieces. I had better explain. In the late 1950s, when I was about six, my father was annoyed as he had not noticed the Irish half-crown he had been passed in his change. He explained it was illegal to spend in the UK and was therefore useless. I asked to see it, expecting it to be awful (well it was illegal!). On one side there was a horse and on the other a harp – it was the most beautiful coin I had ever seen. 'Can I have it – please?' His agreement turned me into a collector.
I started with foreign, dabbled with Roman but concentrated on English and developed a penchant for Tudor and Stuart coins. In my teens an established local collector became my mentor and also introduced me to the world of antique silver. I became hooked and while I had a Saturday job I needed to earn more. Don't laugh… at 18 I decided I would become a freelance writer. I got a weekly column on coins in the local paper. Eventually I my writing about coins was appearing in five countries, spread over four continents.
Chris Knight's soup tureen and ladle
Chris Knight's 'Spiky Ladle'
I sold my coins just before I went to university but carried on with silver, adding tie pins, portrait miniatures and finally antique Fabergé to my collecting repertoire. The catalyst for change was Stuart Devlin, who had designed the Australian decimal coinage followed by coins for another three dozen or so countries. He was primarily a silversmith and it is through him that I first saw modern British silver. I liked what I saw and in my mid-thirties began to buy it. I found myself fascinated by the Renaissance that had taken place in British silver design after 1945. There was an explosion of creativity not only resulting in a diversity of shapes but also in an array of different finishes. Shiny mirror surfaces were no longer de rigueur. New techniques were introduced but not to the detriment of traditional craftsmanship.
By my late forties my tastes had completely changed. I no longer liked the traditional and antique.
Out went my safe and tested domestic silver, the Georgian snuff boxes, the portrait miniatures and thirty pieces of Fabergé, some with an Imperial provenance. Friends were horrified. I am probably the only person who has sold the work of Peter Carl Fabergé to buy modern and contemporary British silver.
This century I have been on quite a journey with the Collection. I am on a one-man mission to bring what is Britain's best-kept secret to a wider audience. For six and half months from October 2018 to May 2019, part of the Collection was exhibited at SFO Museum based in San Francisco's International Airport. The footfall through the gallery was 4.25 million of which 700,000 stopped to engage with the pieces. It was not only the biggest exhibition of modern British silver in the US, but also its largest exposure to an international audience – it still tickles me to remember that it all began with an Irish half-crown.

140th anniversary special edition, Culture
The spirit of manga and animation passed down from "Choju-jinbutsu-giga"
Kenji Ueno, President of Bunsei University of Art
Tetsuya Chiba, Professor of Bunsei University of Art
Seiichi Tanaka., Professor of Bunsei University of Art
"Choju-jinbutsu-giga" picture scroll, a National Treasure is regarded as "the origin of manga".
A lot of tricks attracting people is used in this picture scroll.
The reason why it is called "the origin of manga" is not only its unique drawing style with anthropomorphic animals but also its technique used in the modern manga and animation.
"It was originally just a sketch and the artist had no intention to show other people. Therefore, the artist drew freely and emotionally the picture. It is really free, witty and appealing to modern people" said Kenji Ueno, President of Bunsei University of Art and a leading expert of "Choju-jinbutsu-giga" study.
This cartoon tradition was passed down for generations and influences on the works of manga artists like Tetsuya Chiba. Also, it gives inspirations to Japanese figurines and Cosplay culture.
The Bunsei University of Art established "Manga Major" inviting Tetsuya Chiba for professor in 2005 and "Bunsei MANGA Innovation Institution" led by Chiba 2 years ago for the coming digital manga and animation age.
"Manga format has been changed to be read with smartphones and tablets. The use of advanced technology may help creating a new world in the future. In such an age, we want to embrace the witty and straight sense of humor which manga has" said Ueno.
Today manga can present its new style using light, sound, voice and motion thanks to digital technology and people can endlessly create something new with imagination.
"I can see great potential. People can read manga comics anytime with their smartphone and tablet.
As a creator, I feel jealous of those who want to become manga artists for new tools to add sounds and to move characters in important scenes.
Considering how to create humanly characters is very important since digitally created characters often look cold. We want to study any possibilities" said Chiba seeing the future of manga and animation as the chief of "Bunsei MANGA Innovation Institution".
Professor Seiichi Tanaka. who is the vice-chief of the Institution and develops manga contents with AR, VR and AI, thinks that even digital technologies may create "Heart" through characters.
"People may think that digital technologies are for convenience. But digital technologies combining manga characters may present a warm sense of humanity which Professor Chiba mentioned. I believe manga will bring great power to creating heart using technology."
Kenji Ueno
President of Bunsei University of Art. Graduated from the Department of History, Faculty of Letters at the University of Tokyo. Member of Tochigi Prefecture Person of Cultural Merit Selection Committee, Member of Document Evaluation Committee of Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts, Tochigi Prefectural Museum and Utsunomiya Museum of Art.

Need to merge those objects into one I am new with the vb.net enviroment and I need some help to figure out if there is an easy way to merge objects from the same List (of objects) that have the same value on a field ( in this case it will be the rulenumber).
I don't have a code ready i just need first to figure out if there is a way and how to proceed in order to built this functionality.
So the plan is that i have a list(of objects) which contains many entries of objects with fields like rulenumber amount count sign.
In that list i have many entries that have the same rulenumber. And i want to make a new list (of objects) and combine all the objects with the same rulenumber field in one entry.

During those years, an underground organization of activists from the radical German left was established, which operated against the West German government by carrying out a long series of terrorist acts, kidnappings, hijackings and robberies
Stefan Litt
https://blog.nli.org.il/en/ben-gavriel-ensslin/
In October 1963, Israeli author Moshe Yaakov Ben Gavriel received a letter from the German publisher Bertl Petrei of Stuttgart. It was not unusual for Ben Gavriel, who at the time was very popular among the German-reading audience, to be contacted by German publishers. However, the content of the letter was a great surprise for Ben Gavriel. The German publisher was requesting him to write about the works of German author and poet Will Vesper (1882-1962), who was a Nazi sympathizer and had devoted himself unequivocally to the Nazi cause from 1933-1945. For example, Vesper delivered a speech during the book burning in Dresden in the spring of 1933. Vesper incited the public against Jews and mainly against Jewish authors who wrote in the German language. In light of this, the Austrian-German publisher's request of Ben Gavriel to write a review of an anthology of the Nazi author's novellas was problematic, to say the least.
A letter from the German publisher Bertl Petrei to Moshe Yaakov Ben Gavriel, signed by Gudrun Ensslin
Ben Gavriel immediately understood the magnitude of the problem and replied that the request left him with a bad feeling, and that he was unable to write about the works of a Nazi author. According to the wording of the response (a copy of which exists in Ben Gavriel's archive), together with the letter, he also returned the book to the sender, publisher Bertl Petrei.
Ben Gavriel's answer to Gudrun Ensslin
And behold, a number of days later, an additional letter arrived from the publisher, longer this time, which attempted to calm the Jewish author in Jerusalem and to justify the request as well as defend the standing of Will Vesper in German literature. And yet the person who wrote the letter did not address all to the problematic biographical details of the author's life, which did not speak in his favor, certainly given the atmosphere prevailing in 1963, when it was impossible to ignore the Nazi past of a prominent cultural figure. The two letters from the publisher to Ben Gavriel are signed by different people. The first was signed by Gudrun Ensslin, and the second, by S. Mauer. We do not know anything regarding the identity of the second signer, but the name of Gudrun Ensslin is certainly known, in an entirely different context, linked to events that took place in Germany from 1968-1993.
During those years, an underground organization of activists from the radical German left was established, which operated against the West German government by carrying out a long series of terrorist acts, kidnappings, hijackings and robberies. What the author Yaakov Moshe Ben Gavriel could not have known, and given that he died in 1965 never learned, was that Gudrun Ensslin, who signed the first letter he received from the publisher, went on to become a senior figure in a left-wing terrorist organization known as The Red Army Faction (Rote Armee Fraktion – RAF). This organization set West German society into a storm mainly in the 1970s and divided the population between opponents and supporters of the movement, which according to its declarations was fighting the capitalist-imperialist regime through "urban guerilla warfare." To this end, members of the underground, among them, Gudrun Ensslin, even spent time at a PLO training camp in Jordan. The peak of the organization's activity – which was also the peak of the severe social crisis in West Germany – was in the fall of 1977, when Palestinian terrorists hijacked a German airplane, and in exchange for releasing the passengers, demanded the release of the RAF leadership, which had been in prison since 1972, among them Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin. Following the failed hijacking of the German plane – all of the passengers were released – a number of the upper echelon committed suicide in prison in October 1977, Gudrun Ensslin among them. Supporters of the underground were skeptical that the cause of death was suicide, and in their eyes, those who died were martyrs. The underground continued its activities for several more years, and finally dissolved only in the early 1990s.

However, in 1963, all of these events were still a future that had not yet come to pass, that is, when Gudrun Ensslin wrote to Moshe Yaakov Ben Gavriel on behalf of the publisher of the author Will Vesper. The question arises as to why Ensslin collaborated with a commercial publisher on this matter; a few years later she acted determinedly against every "capitalist-imperialist-fascist" entity. Studies of Ensslin's life have shown that at the time, she was involved in a relationship with Vesper's son, Bernward Vesper. The author's son tried to grapple with the spiritual legacy of his father, and to this end, promoted the re-publication of his works, in part with the help of Ensslin, who later became a prominent terrorist. The request of Vesper and Ensslin to Ben Gavriel, as well as the wording of the letters, suggest no small degree of political confusion. The confusion characterized a large portion of the supporters of the radical left, mainly in their attitude towards Jews and Israel, a phenomenon which is common among the German Left to this day.

Alhambra , CA
Continuing to solidify operations in response to COVID-19, the Alhambra Unified Board of Education met in special session Tuesday to discuss a resolution declaring an ongoing public health emergency within the district.
The resolution, approved on a 5-0 vote, also granted Superintendent Denise R. Jaramillo broad powers to act, in the words of Board President Patricia Rodriguez-Mackintosh, "quickly and effectively" in the best interests of the district, its 21 campuses and over 16,500 pupils.
This would allow Jaramillo the ability to modify school and work schedules as needed without prior board approval and to cancel or modify any activities, programs, or courses, up to and including the temporary closure of the district.
The emergency measure, signed by Rodriguez-Mackintosh, would also allow the district to seek state and federal funding to help mitigate of the costs of its response to the COVID-19 emergency.
In comments at the start of the session, Rodriguez-Mackintosh said that there are still no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the AUSD. She, board member Robert L. Gin and board clerk Joanne Russell-Chavez attended the meeting in person. Board Vice President Jane C. Anderson and board member Wing Ho participated by telephone.
In keeping with social distancing requirements to prevent COVID-19, the board limited the number of residents who could attend Tuesday's special meeting in the district's board room to 10 and encouraged those interested in the proceedings to watch the meetings live online.
On Monday, the Alhambra City Council passed its own emergency declaration closing the city library to the public and endorsing limitations on some businesses as imposed by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. Their action came just hours after the L.A. County Department of Health provided a list of cities, with populations of over 25,000, that have coronavirus cases. That list included two cases in Alhambra but none in San Gabriel, Monterey Park or Rosemead, the three other main feeder cities in the AUSD. The health department released no further information on the Alhambra cases.
Last Friday the AUSD board met in special session to approve a plan to dismiss the students all district schools for a two week period starting Monday, March 16. That two week period would be followed by the planned Spring Break at which time the school dismissals would be reconsidered. The dismissal idea was an effort to allow teachers and staff and remain on duty on school grounds and make provisions for off-site learning. But that plan was abandoned late Monday after state and federal officials advised more stringent guidelines on the sizes of public gatherings and encouraged residents to just stay home.
The district is attempting to continue its lunchtime service for those students in need of food and has plans in effect through Friday, March 20. Going forward the program will be re-evaluated and, if it is deemed safe for staff, continued. The district encourages interested parties to check its website for details that are often changing daily.
The district has also posted on its website some student and parent resources for online learning. In addition the website also announced that Charter will offer free Spectrum broadband and Wi-Fi access for 60 days to households with K-12 and/or college students who do no already have Spectrum broadband service.
The next board meeting, scheduled for March 24, has been postponed until further notice.

InterCity fleet renewal poised to start
GERMANY: Deutsche Bahn will call tenders later this year for 100 to 130 trainsets to replace its fleet of loco-hauled EuroCity and InterCity trains. Likely to be fixed-formation eight-car sets, they will be built to match the standards of DB's ICE fleet.
In the meantime DB is evaluating offers for seven to 15 high speed trains for international services, which are likely to be priced at around €30m per set. Bids were submitted on March 11, and it is understood that these trains will be designed to serve the French market from 2010 when the inter-?national passenger market is deregulated (RG 2.08 p89). Of particular interest to DB is LGV Rhin-Rhône, which when completed in 2011 will open up the possibility of reaching the French Riviera from cities such as Stuttgart and Frankfurt.
Plans for replacing DB's IC and EC fleet have been gestating for some time (RG 9.07 p521), and DB has now decided what type of train it wishes to acquire. DB Chairman Hartmut Mehdorn said last year that fixed-formation trains were 'more modern', but DB is reluctant to reveal details in the run-up to its planned partial privatisation. The first trains could be delivered by 2012, with the rest following by 2015.
DB is also drawing up proposals to replace its 59 ICE1 trainsets, possibly with a new ICE4 design.

Components extending the `OServiceBaseComponent` class are components which have a service instance configured ready for ask for remote data. This class provides a set of inputs and methods and attributes inherited by all the service components. This properties are explained on the **API** section of this page.

For using the `OntimizeService` configuration (explained [here]({{ base_path }}/guide/service/){:target="_blank"}) and have a unique instance of it in your component you shoud add it in the providers definition, as you can see in the following example. The class inputs are available in the static `DEFAULT_INPUTS_O_SERVICE_BASE_COMPONENT` variable, so a component implementing `OServiceBaseComponent` class will look like:

```javascript
@Component({
  selector: 'my-component',
  templateUrl: './my-component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./my-component.scss'],
  inputs: [
    ...OServiceBaseComponent.DEFAULT_INPUTS_O_SERVICE_BASE_COMPONENT,
    // more component inputs
  ],
  outputs: [
    // component ouputs
  ],
  providers: [
    { provide: OntimizeService, useFactory: dataServiceFactory, deps: [Injector] }
  ]
})
export class MyComponent extends OServiceBaseComponent {

}
```

## Binding to remote data
To manage server data, it is necessary to configure the `service` and the `entity` attributes. You may need configure the `service-type` attribute in case you don't use the default **OntimizeWebService** to manage. For more information see in [App configuration]({{ base_path }}/guide/appconfig/){:target="_blank"}.

## Binding to local data
For local data binding you simply need to supply an array of TypeScript objects/JSON via the `static-data` property. Adicional, you need to set `query-on-init="false"` in `o-table` component.

If you need the data query to be performed after the `parent-keys` is updated, `query-on-init = false` and `query-on-bind = true` must be changed

## Define columns
You have to define the `columns` of the database entity (if binding to remote data) or the properties of the static data items (when binding to local data).

<!-- ## query-on-init
## query-on-bind -->

## CRUD methods
There are a set of preconfigured method names for doing the `CRUD` operations that can be overrided using its inputs: `query-method`, `paginated-query-method`, `insert-method`, `update-method` or `delete-method`. You can learn more about Ontimize services configuration [here]({{ base_path }}/guide/service/){:target="_blank"}.

This are the methods that will be invoked when the component needs to query, insert, update or delete data from its configured `service` and `entity`.

## Parent keys filter
When a service component is inside a form component you can configure the `parent-keys` attribute of the with the `attr` of the [form fields]({{ base_path }}/components/input/overview/api){:target="_blank"} you want to include in the query filtering.

Keep in mind that a service component will not send any request when the parent keys values are all null. You can configure the `query-with-null-parent-keys` to avoid that, but it is not always recommended, it might query for too many data.

## Storing component state
Using the `store-state` boolean input allows user to choose whether or not to store the component configuration state in local storage. That state is returned by the `getDataToStore` method under the key returned in `getComponentKey` callback.

Q: Triviality of $d|n$ I am currently confused on a problem in a practice set I have been given. It reads the following:

Let $d$ be a positive integer and let $n$ be an integer. Prove that $d | n$ if and only if in the unique expression $n = dq + r$ with $q,r \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $0\leq r < d$ the remainder is $r = 0$.

To me the question seems totally trivial in the sense that it follows from the definition of the notation $x|y$ that $y=m\bullet x$ for some $x\in\mathbb{Z}$
and in the other direction: if one assumes that $n=dq+r$ with $r=0$ then $q$ is by definition an integer such that $n$ can be expressed by the multiplication of $d$ (the divisor) and $q$ and so obviously $d|n$.
At first I thought this was asking to prove the existence of the division algorithm, but upon reflection it seems a totally different question. Could anyone provide some elucidation?


Google's Chromecast is adding new video streaming apps (and even some games, like a screen-adapted version of Monopoly) to its programming repertoire.
As far as video goes, Chromecast will now support Showtime and Starz apps. Showtime Anytime, which anyone who subscribes to Showtime on cable TV has access to, includes the network's series (both present and old ones). Meanwhile, Starz Play offers Starz original series along with hundreds of movies, as does its related app, Encore Play.
The Showtime and Starz apps join other cable TV video apps like HBO Go and WatchESPN on Chromecast. The Google TV adapter, which goes for about $35 and operates on iOS and Android devices, supports upwards of 350 apps/gaming and video services.
