London's largest innovation centre launches scheme to help women-led technology businesses
Plexal and the London Legacy Development Corporation to launch eight-week accelerator programme for female-led tech start-ups on former Olympic Park site.
Entitled 'Plexiglass', applications for the scheme are now open.
The scheme will be led by Plexal's serial entrepreneur CEO, Claire Cockerton, who has run numerous world-leading innovation programmes for companies such as EY, Euroclear and Canary Wharf Group.
Plexal, London's largest innovation centre has announced that today it opens applications for its Plexiglass accelerator programme, which will support and enable eight female-led tech start-ups to grow their businesses. The selected cohort of start-ups will receive work space at Plexal, mentoring from the likes of Barclays and access to the Plexal and wider Here East community, which includes academic institutions such as UCL and London College of Fashion.
Plexal's purpose is to empower organisations of all sizes to build technology solutions for commercial and societal values while creating strategic business value. The innovation centre has a particular focus on deep technology and Plexal is looking to find women-founded/run businesses focused on AI, VR, IoT, data analytics, cyber security, sports tech, fashion tech, fintech, well-tech, hardware or other cutting-edge technology. They must be funded for the duration of the programme and be London-based.
While there is no shortage of ambition among women in technology and progress has been made in raising awareness of some of the challenges women face when pursuing entrepreneurial careers, in 2017 just 17% of start-up founders were women, who took just 9% of available start-up funding in the UK. Plexiglass was conceived as a way of arming women with the connections and support to succeed.
The cohort will also have access to Plexal's on-site professional services support which encompasses everything from marketing, to legal services and finance. The will be able to meet fellow founders and clients from the big businesses that visit Plexal regularly and the eight-week programme will culminate with a pitch event to be attended by large corporations and prospective investors.
Claire Cockerton, Plexal CEO said: "We deliberately designed Plexal to resemble a mini-city because cities are centres of innovation due to their diversity. It is from that diversity and the collision of different views that innovation emerges. So, as we enter the fourth industrial revolution we need a diverse technology sector to make the most of the massive opportunities in front of us."
Lyn Garner, chief executive of London Legacy Development Corporation added: "Initiatives like Plexiglass help to shine a light on the fantastic opportunities for local people in and around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – a result of the exciting innovation and collaboration taking place here. This part of the city is fast becoming a hotbed for London's emerging industries and this scheme is a great way to develop pathways into tech for local female entrepreneurs."
Applications close on the 8 April, with the start-ups moving in on 23 April for a programme that includes pitch training, founder fundamentals, go-to-market strategy, financing options and exit valuation.
Start-ups looking to apply for the Plexiglass programme can do so from today on www.plexal.com/plexiglass.

Where is the Orava Castle?
History of the castle
Visiting the castle
Great tour (perfect with kids)
Small tour (the fast route)
Admission and prices
Oravský hrad, or Orava Castle, played an essential role in the life of historical Hungary. It defended the country from the north and the trade route to Poland. Of course, this role has disappeared today, so let's just visit him for his beauty. It is no coincidence that it is one of the most beautiful fortresses in Slovakia.
The castle is located in the Orava region, next to the Orava River. The 13th-century medieval castle was built on a 112-meter-high rock face. The castle is the most prominent attraction in the region.

Oravský Hrad - Orava Castle, Slovakia
The castle of Orava is surrounded by the Western Tatras, the Beskyda and Chočský hills and the Little Fatra. It is located in north Slovakia, quite close to the Polish border. It is about 3 hours from Bratislava.
Address: Orava Castle, Orava Castle Slovakia
Distance from Poprad: 1.5 hours / 100 km
Distance from Banská Bystrica: 1.5 hours / 80 km
Distance from Kosice: 2.5 hours / 215 km
Distance from Bratislava: 3 hours / 260 km
Distance from Krakow: 2.5 hours / 140 km
Although the castle does not have a parking lot, you will find a paid option in the city.
There are no sources for the construction of the castle. What we know is that it was probably the Tartar invasion in 1241 which triggered the need for a strong castle.
There have been rumours that the castle was built by the Knights Templar themselves, but this was never confirmed.
The first official owner of the Orava Castle was the Balassa family. This can only be known because a document from 1267 has survived, in which king Bela IV takes the castle from Nicholas Balassa - so the property becomes a royal possession.
Only the Upper and Middle parts of the castle stood at that time; the Lower Castle was added later. The castle was run by the castle ispan, and about 100 years later, in 1370, Orava became its seat.
Over the years, the castle was also owned by Matthew III Csák, Matthias Corvinus, and John Corvinus.
The Thurzo family took over the castle in the 16th century. They lost the castle for a while, when it was acquired by Imre Thököly in 1678, and in 1703 by the Rákóczi insurgents. After that, the fortress was given back to the family.
The castle burned down in the early 1800s when everything made of wood was destroyed. The damage has since been repaired, so you can now see the former fortress in all its glory.
After the First World War, the castle belonged to Czechoslovakia and was nationalised during the Second World War.
You can see the castle and the exhibition without a guided tour. This way you can walk around the castle at your own pace. You can visit the castle on 3 different tours:
Orava Castle Tour Attractions Duration Adult ticket
1. Great tour Lower-, Middle-, Upper castle, and the citadel 60 mins EUR 7
2. Small tour Thurzo Palace 30 mins EUR 5
3. Combined Lower-, Middle-, Upper castle, citadel, and the Thurzo Palace 90 mins EUR 10
During the tour of the Lower Castle, you can see the defence system, and there are exhibitions in the Middle Castle. At the end of the tour, your journey will take you to the Upper Castle and the Citadel. Here you will find an archeological exhibition with a great panorama.
As part of the smaller tour, you can visit the Treasury, St. Nicholas Chapel and the Lower Castle. If you have knee pain, we recommend this tour as it is a gentle, very easy tour.
Orava Castle is open every day, but the daily opening hours vary from season to season. In summer, the castle gate is generally open.
Winter season (Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Dec): 09:30 to 15:00
Summer season (May, Sep): 08:30 to 17:00
High season (June, July, Aug): 09:00 to 17:00
Closed: April
You can't buy tickets online, only at the box office.
Adult ticket: 7 euros
Student and child ticket: 3.5 euros
Retirement ticket: 3.5 euros
Disabled ticket: 3.5 euros
Under 6 years old: free
The family ticket costs 21 euros for two adults and three children.
The above prices are for the "Great Tour". The small tour costs only € 5 for adults and the combined tour costs € 10.
(Prices might slightly increase every year!)

Women Agents Say They Are Breaking The Glass Ceiling
November 04, 2001 at 07:00 PM Share & Print
Caroline McDonald
Hard work and opportunity have helped women establish themselves in the upper levels of the independent agency world and, female agency principals say, those who have made it are individuals who don't believe they should be treated any differently than men.
"It's no longer unusual and it's no longer the exception to have women in top positions within the insurance agency ranks," says Louise Canter, senior vice president at Patterson-Smith Associates in Falls Church, Va., who is the incoming vice president of the Alexandria, Va.-based Independent Insurance Agents of America.
Women, she said, are much more dominant in the industry today. "More women are in sales and many women own agencies, either their own or with a group.
"There is no magic to it," Canter says. "It's just a lot of hard work over many years and sticking with it."
Canter, who has been with Patterson-Smith for 21 years, says she started out 29 years ago as "one of the very few women in sales." Although agencies have always been female-oriented "in the sense that many of the people who worked in the agencies were women," she notes, "I would say there have been incredible changes for women over those 29 years."
IIAA's Future One "Agency Universe Study for 2000″ found that 33% of agencies employ women as principals (26% have both men and women principals and 7% have women only). The study also found that 58% of agencies with more than one producer have one or more women in that position–an increase of 13 percentage points, up from 45% in 1996.
"It has not been a quick or easy process," Canter says, adding that the proverbial "work twice as hard" refrain is often the case.
One development that has helped women is the opportunities for jobs and training in the industry, which "women recognize and want," she adds.
Women are willing to take advantage of those opportunities now because "there is not the sense of anything holding them back," explains Canter. If anything discourages them from moving up in an agency, "it's their own perception more than anything else," she adds.
In the agency ranks, Canter notes, "if you can sell and bring in commission dollars, the sky is the limit. From an agency principal's viewpoint it gets down to the bottom line and that's how women will succeed more and more."
At the same time, women have much to offer. "They're more detail-oriented, more relationship-oriented and they relate well to clients," Canter says.
Something that women could do more of, Canter suggests, is network. An agents association "can be very helpful," in terms of meeting and getting to know insurance company people, she says.
"Women haven't taken as much advantage of this type of thing as men, but they're starting to," Canter observes. "In the past they may not have felt as comfortable as they do now. But as they move into positions where they have more authority there is the feeling that they do belong, and they have more freedom to participate."
Danielle Duerr, owner of Danielle Duerr & Associates in Darien, Ill., who started her own agency in 1996, said she did so because most agency owners she knew either "were not as progressive as I felt I would like to be," or had inherited the agency, "which today is about the only way you can actually have an agency and get the contracts you need."
Duerr was able to start her agency, even though insurers typically "do not give the contracts to an individual just starting from zero" because of her years in the business and the contacts she had built up in the insurance industry. Her agency, which is 80% commercial property, has two full-time employees and one part-time, she said.
Throughout her career, Duerr says she has "never felt that being a woman was a drawback for me." If anything, being a woman in the insurance industry has been an advantage, she adds. For example, she says, if she were competing against several men for a job, it is more likely she would be listened to initially.
"They say, 'Let's see if she has any brains,' and they listen very closely to what I say," Duerr explains. "If I can get them to listen, I have it made."
Duerr expresses the same opinion as Canter, saying that women could help themselves by doing more networking and getting organized.
"Men have their Lions clubs and other organizations, which were established by men and [are] attended by men," she says. "I believe it is the matter of a couple of [women] organizing and then motivating other women to attend."
Darlene Penfold, principal of Penfold-Leavitt Insurance Agency, Inc., an "all lines insurance agency with no specialty" in Eureka, Calif., says she started out from scratch in 1979 as the owner of an independent insurance agency, and in 1999 affiliated with the Leavitt group.
"I started…with nothing," she says. "It was a tough row to hoe, but I hit the deck running and didn't stop."
The notion of things being more difficult for women "is a misnomer," Penfold says. "Some people use that as an excuse. If you get out there and work and hustle," writing business is no more difficult than it is "for a man in my situation," she adds.
"One of the issues I have is that in our society we're trained to think women have it tougher because they're the weaker sex and that it's easier in business for men," Penfold observes. "If you work hard and you try to do things right, the business will follow."

What Does It Take To Study In France Being An International Student?
Are you planning to pursue your higher education in France?
Are you questioning whether studying in France for your master's or bachelor's degree is a good country option?
These questions are very normal for international students to ponder upon when determining their higher education. There's a lot of research involved in selecting a university. And more so, it will be one of the biggest choices you'll make for your career, so you ought to be selective and aware of all perspectives.
So, you need to be entirely clear about the details first to make a move to study in France.
Let's decode all the questions you have in your mind when you choose France to study your desired course.
France is Europe's pride, but what about its education?
France is the second most attractive destination in Europe for international students.
Do you know? About 10% of enrollments at French universities are international students! What's an amazing fact is that currently, there are 250,000 international students in France studying various courses.
Students from across the globe want to experience an exceptional quality of education that French universities provide and also to live an enjoyable French way of life.
Another reason for this popularity is that French universities charge remarkably low tuition fees!
France's higher education system will equip you with a fantastic quality of education. The high-class teaching and the education resources reflect it' superior standard. And, in France, you will find plenty of research opportunities, be it in any domain, subject, arena.
You don't want to miss an opportunity to study in Europe's most favorite study destination, do you? Obviously, for international students, it will have its sets of challenges, but what's life without some challenges? Aren't you excited already imagining yourself in the iconic institution you've probably dreamed of? Well then, dream on a little longer to turn it into reality because your dream of studying in France will come true when you have the right information.
We at KCR Consultants believe to succeed you should have the right information, and education is the way to that. So as a foreign student, let's address commonly asked questions to study in France.
How much does it cost to study in France?
No doubt education in France is not that expensive, but it also depends on one's personal lifestyle.
On average, we divide the cost to study in France into these primary subcategories:
Tuition costs of the University/ Institution of choice
University costs (which includes social security contribution, semester charges, and other sundry charges)
Rentals & Accommodation
Entertainment costs
Basic utilities, etc.
Just like in any country, in Europe, as an international student, you can choose from two categories of universities: Public or private.
The French government set the tuition fees at public universities and is the same across the country.
But it may differ with private universities, as they have their own rule and regulations.
With public universities, citizens and permanent residents of EEA (European Economic Area) countries and Switzerland can pursue their higher education by paying almost negligible tuition fees (except for a small charge of around a few euros per year).
Whereas students from outside of the EU have to pay a higher amount compared to students from European countries.
The tuition fees structure for international students is:
2,770 euros/ year for a Bachelor's degree
3,770 euro/ year for a Master's Degree
380 euros/ year for Ph.D./ Doctorate degree
Note: The values above refer only to public universities; the cost of tuition at private universities can be higher.
University Costs
These are the costs that students usually ignore while planning to study abroad.
However, one must consider them, since you will have to pay in euros.
These costs can include your:
Semester fees
Social Security Payments
Administrative charges
Putting a number to these expenses, it can vary from about 400 euros to about 700 euros for a semester.
Also, this number does not include accommodation expenses.
Moving to the most crucial element of your costs when planning your study in France is, well, of course, the cost of living in France.
Average Monthly Cost in EUR
Average Monthly Cost in INR
Rental for 1 bedroom apartment
Basic Utilities (Electricity, Water, etc.)
Monthly Pass (Transport)
Telephone, Internet, etc.
Monthly Average Spend (in EUR)
Again, this is a generic look and would change from city to city. Like, suppose if you live in Paris's city center, your accommodation will definitely be more expensive.
So, before you start your applications, have a look at the universities in France, determine all the costs involved.
Now let's understand:
What are the requirements to study in France?
You need to fulfill certain requirements to study at the top-notch universities in France at a very affordable rate.
These requirements can differ for undergraduate and postgraduate aspirants.
For UG Courses in French Universities:
Remember that it is essential to meet all the eligibility requirements for all the undergraduate courses before applying for any courses in the French universities.
You must have a high school diploma if you want to apply for an undergraduate course in France
They require it to have the French degree
You need to pass the university admission examination from your home country for undergraduate admissions in France.
If you are interested in technical institutes, then you should be ready to appear in the personal interview round
You also need to submit your IELTS and TOEFL scores
For PG Courses:
France has an excellent reputation for its diverse postgraduate study programs.
You need to satisfy the eligibility requirement for PG courses if you have a desire to apply for a postgraduate course in France.
Also, the PG courses in French fall into three categories which are Doctorates, and Ph.D., Research Masters, and Taught masters.
The prime requirement for you to apply in the master's program is that you must have a Bachelor's degree
If you are applying for the doctoral program, you need to have a master's degree
French universities will often require the scores of tests like the SAT, GRE, GMAT, etc.
It may be possible that some universities will provide admission based on the interview also
Keeping all these criteria in mind, you now can apply to the most popular French universities depending upon your previous education.
Fulfilling all these requirements will take you one step close to study in one of the best universities in Europe, among the grandeur heritage.
Is France good for study?
Of course, YES.
Let's see why?
Unlike the rest of the European countries, the French higher education system is one of the best in the world. It is also one of the most accessible ones, too.
French universities rank among the top universities in the world, every year.
France has 71 public universities and they are all funded by the national government, offering a world-class education at a very affordable price to all international students.
Let's dive deeper into this topic.
France is a world leader in business and finance
If you want to study business-related subjects, France is the ideal study destination for you.
The country is a hub for international business and management education and has lots of business schools in the worldwide rankings.
Highly Affordable World-Class Universities
France offers a diverse range of institutions at which you can study. And many of them rank high with the best universities in Europe and around the world.
France has 64 listed universities and 321 study programs to offer to its students.
Another statistic that proves France's being one of the world's leading nations for higher education is that France houses many Nobel prize winners.

That's the reputation France has in the eyes of the world!
You can get yourself enrolled in these top-notch universities at very affordable rates.
Great Job Opportunities

You'll have endless opportunities to explore while studying in France.
France's culture will amaze you and you'll experience an adventure of a lifetime in France.
Easier Visas and healthcare Services
In European countries, the healthcare system is very well systematized. People across the globe are aware of the expansive French healthcare system. France provides the "best overall health care" in the world.
Being a Non-EU student planning to study in France, you must enroll in the French healthcare system to avail of all the health benefits for yourself.
The EU and EEA students just need their EHIC cards.
Can you study in English in France?
Your options might be limited if you are unaware of the French language. But that doesn't mean you can't study in France in English.
You most definitely can!
Also, you won't be allowed by any French university to complete your degree course in English but they may offer you individual courses in English on subjects like business and economics for sure.
Except in Sciences Po. Sciences Po is the only French university where you can take enough courses in English to validate the year.
It offers different undergraduate courses that have an entrance exam for admission.
Science Po is unique for three reasons:
It's a prestigious French university accessible only by entrance exam, that's open to undergraduates
All of its third-year students are required to go abroad, meaning that hundreds of students from all over the world go to Sciences Po in an exchange program
They require Sciences Po students to have excellent English, meaning that the school offers lots of courses for their own students and for visiting students in English
This is a highly demanded university among international students, so you need to buckle up your admission process as soon as they are open.
Bonjour to new beginnings
So without adieu, say Bonjour (which is a French word for hello) to your dream of higher education. You can also fund your studies with various scholarships available, but that we'll discuss in the next post.
For now, whatever your decision is, either learning the French language or exploring more options to study in France, you need some guidance in this overall process. You need someone to cover up all the headaches caused during the counseling and the admission procedure.

We the undersigned Malaysian civil society groups from different spiritual, cultural and ideological backgrounds condemn unreservedly in the strongest possible terms the latest arson attacks against two suraus in Muar in the early morning of January 21.
The attacks on the suraus seem to be a deliberate and desperate move to provoke Malaysians into sectarian conflicts. The earlier attacks on nine churches, a mosque, a surau, a gurdwara and a convent school, have failed to trigger even distrust as Malaysians of all faiths and creeds stand united in the wake of violence.
While the Police must act swiftly in investigation and defeat any act of violence and terrorism, we call upon all Malaysians to have faith in peace, freedom and reason.
After all, these attacks are at most a crisis of law and order caused by a failure of the Malaysian state, not a crisis of religious harmony indicating a failure of the Malaysian society.
Let us stay calm and support each other. Let our spirit of fraternity defeat any unscrupulous conspiracy to tear Malaysian society apart, to censor media, to compromise on rule of law or to justify draconian measures like ISA.
As Malaysians stand united, violence and authoritarianism shall have no place in this blessed country.

Running hard
Recapping cross country's season
Posted by D'Andre Head on October 12, 2021 in Sports.
The Bulldogs took first place in the Ray Helsing Bulldog Invitational. Brody Keiser | Demo 64
Despite not racing since 2019, Ferris's cross country teams have managed to find success.
Ray Helsing Bulldog Invitational:
Both teams had a strong showing in their first meet at the 2021 Ray Helsing Bulldog Invitational. Ferris rose as men's and women's champions and captured the team title in both events.
Junior Donis Harris took first place in the men's race at 27:20.97 on the 8K course. Freshman Noah Griffith was the runner-up at 27:42.19 for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldog men's squad netted 15 points to win the event. They finished with the top five place winners and had eight runners in the top nine along with 10 of the top 12 overall.
The Bulldog women totaled 22 points, with sophomore Sydney Kubiak placing first overall with a time of 20:12.68 on the 5K course. Freshman Daisy Englund was the Bulldogs' next finisher in third place overall at 20:46.52. The Bulldog women had nine runners finish in the top 11 overall and 10 of the top 13.
"We've been working hard all summer, and I been excited to race and being able to participate this year," Kubiak said. "I try to lead and work together to push myself and others to do our best. As a new team, we constantly support and encourage each other every step of the way."
Michigan State Spartan Invitational:
Their first away race took place at the annual Michigan State Spartan Invitational on Friday, Sept. 17.
In the men's 8K race, Bulldogs Harris clocked 27:01.2 on the course for 76th place. Sophomore Brandon Wirth was only two spots behind in 78th place at 27:02.0.
On the women's side, Kubiak paced the Bulldogs with a time of 24:44.1 for 108th in the 6K event. Teammate Hanna Brock was next in line at 24:48.4, finishing 112th in the field.
Lansing Community College Invitational:
During the Lansing Community College Invitational, a select number of student-athletes were selected to participate in this competition.
The Bulldog women took eighth place overall while the men were 12th in a large field that included student-athletes from all levels of competition.
The men's team was led by junior Andrew Yaworski, who placed 42nd overall in the 8K race with 28:22.9. Junior Logan Reimink was 46th (28:41.8), with freshman Andrew Shafley coming in 53rd (28:53.0). Sophomore Brendan Deneen finished 60th (29:11.2) with freshman Luke Anderson 103rd (31:04.4) and freshman Kevin Wilson 105th (31:06.8).
"It felt good to be back after an injury and run," Yaworski said. "I'm constantly doing the workout and trying to increase my time. So many people are gaining experience, especially coming back this year. We are focusing on our goals trying to stay engaged in the meets."
Meanwhile, the women's race was paced by freshman Lauryn Coleman in 36th place 20:52.0. Sophomore Lauren Sinnaeve came in 43rd 21:07.2 with junior Paige Deitering 53rd (21:25.7) and junior Claudia Baryo 58th (21:37.5). Freshman Layla Creed finished 72nd (21:57.0) and freshman Allissa Ash 80th (22:18.4).
"The season is going very well. It has been mentally tough, and I've been coming off an injury and trying to propel myself to do the best that I can," Baryo said. "But, overall, we have a wonderful team that is doing well and getting better."
Greater Louisville Classic:
Ferris's men's and women's cross-country squads recently took part in the Greater Louisville Classic on Saturday, Oct. 2. The meet is one of the country's largest and features teams from all levels of competition.
For Ferris, Kubiak came in 42nd overall in a time of 19:10.3 in the event. Freshman Melanie Strauss was 57th 19:23.3.
Junior Hannah Loucks placed 84th (19:41.5) with junior Callie Delaney 96th (19:48.4) and sophomore Amelia Topolinski 123rd (20:01.7) in the event.
The Bulldog women's team captured ninth place overall in the 5K Blue Division with 386 total points. The Bulldog men took 19th place overall with 538 points in the men's 8K Blue Division.
Ferris was led by Harris, who placed 16th overall at 25:13.8 in the race. Freshman Nathan Alford finished 70th 25:58.4 with newcomer freshman Noah Griffith 84th 26:06.
Ferris will next take part in the Muskegon Jayhawk Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 16 in Muskegon, Michigan.

When parents ask about diet therapy for ADHD
The second of a four-part series on nutritional interventionsexamines evidence of a salicylate-elimination diet for ADHD.
DR. BRAGANZA is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Children's Hospital at Montefiore Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.
DR. GALVEZ is an assistant professor of pediatrics and of community and preventive medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY.
DR. OZUAH is a professor of pediatrics and interim university chairman at Children's Hospital at Montefiore Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.
The effect of nutrition on mood and behavior is well known; certain protein-rich foods such as meat, cheese, and eggs contain amino acids that are precursors of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These precursors cross the blood-brain barrier and, through complex interactions, are synthesized into neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are hypothesized to directly affect behavior and cognition.2
Enter the Feingold diet
The late pediatric allergist Benjamin Feingold, MD, was the leading proponent of a nutritional basis for hyperactivity in children.2 Working with children who exhibited sensitivity to aspirin, foods, and food additives, Feingold described physical reactions and behavioral changes-such as inattention-that he considered to be precursors of hyperactivity and learning disability. Feingold suggested a causal relationship between the increased use of artificial colorings and flavorings in food products and the incidence of hyperactivity and learning disability.7,8 Based on his observations, Feingold developed a salicylate elimination diet that prohibited not only the salicylate-containing compounds aspirin and aspartame, and foods containing dyes and preservatives, but also apples, berries, grapes, oranges, peaches, plums, cucumbers, and tomatoes. These fruits and vegetables were thought to form chemicals similar to acetylsalicylic acid, which contained a so-called salicylate radical. Dr. Feingold did not, however, specify which of the salicylate chemicals could produce an effect, and at what dosage.8 Feingold claimed that the schoolwork of an ADHD child who was on this diet would improve, and that hyperactive behaviors would diminish.7,8
Does the diet have an effect?
Despite anecdotal reports and uncontrolled studies conducted in the 1970s that continued to suggest a relationship between elimination diets and behavior, controversy developed within the scientific community over Feingold's claims.2,8 The most significant concern was a lack of prospective, randomized, controlled trials of the effect of salicylate compounds on behavior: Which, if any, specific chemicals are responsible for the effect, and in what concentrations? A second concern was that parents would alter their child's diet-thereby potentially influencing growth and development-based on anecdotal observations alone. These concerns led to the establishment of the National Advisory Committee on Hyperkinesis and Food Additives, which recommended that the Nutrition Foundation study the effects of the diet with food challenge.2
Early food challenge studies demonstrated no change in behavior when a child was on the Feingold diet.9 A later review of 13 double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in well-defined study population of 240 children demonstrated that only 1% of children exhibited a consistent improvement of symptoms while on the diet.8 No change in behavior was reported in more than 90% of children challenged with standardized food dyes.8 These data provided limited support for any beneficial effect of the Feingold diet except in a small percentage of children with a behavior disorder.

Chapter 11 – The Help
August 5, 2014 by Laffanfrostbite 1 Comment
When there was no company, we still ate dinners in the dining room, but occasionally some levity broke the quiet formalities. Over the years, the cooks and maids were not always the same, and with each personality came different experiences.
We had a cook named Jessie whose claim to fame was that she liked to entertain us during dinner. She would emerge during the meal to serenade us with her harmonica. She was not a particularly gifted player, but made up for this with her utter enthusiasm for the activity. For whatever reason, my father saw these moments as entirely entertaining and funny, and we all loved it when she did it. I have no doubt that it had not been my father's idea, but Jessie's alone. Surely she saw how silly the scene was- the family in that outrageously fancy room, tapping their feet to her delighted delivery of her bluesy riffs, stomping her foot in self-accompaniment and dancing around us as she did. It was a welcome relief from what felt to be a stilted and somber time of day for the most part. We all loved Jessie, as we came to love nearly all those who came and went from our household. Apparently Jessie loved us too, because after leaving us at some point, she returned a good number of years later to work again for a while, bringing with her the old harmonica and dinnertime repertoire.
There were others too, with outsized stories. Once, one of the the boat captains and his wife, got into a heated argument aboard the Feliz Ano back in Florida. It was the middle of the night, and in fear for her life, the wife jumped overboard and proceeded to swim across Lake Worth with not a stitch on. At some point later that night, my parents were called by the police department to come and pick her up from the police station. The captain was a drinker and the poor wife surely suffered. For years, he drove us to school every morning, probably hung over, as far as we kids could tell. He was a rough looking man, a dead ringer for Earnest Hemingway with a beard only half grown in. It was obvious to us that he didn't much like children, as he used few words while he drove us every morning. He and his wife didn't last long on the boat after the Lake Worth debacle, at which point we kids went to school by car pool.
Then there was Inez, one of the cooks, a stocky middle aged woman who took offense at something the maid Virginia had said, and proceeded to chase Virginia all over the house, up and down the spiral staircase, through the living room and Florida room and back through dining room and kitchen again with a butcher knife before she was finally subdued and given her marching papers. Inez was a mean and cantankerous soul, with a face to match, while Virginia was as beautiful and lovely as Inez was unpleasant. We children always thought it might have been a fit of jealousy that sent Inez over the edge, but none of us kids ever knew for sure. We were just glad to see her go, and glad too, that Virginia was still with us, unhurt.
After Inez came Sonja, a Finnish woman who brought along her daughter, Jennie. While she cooked for us, Jennie, who was all of five years old when they came, took a liking to our father. After dinner, she would sidle past the kitchen door and clamber into my father's lap to snuggle, calling him "Daddy" and using her best baby talk voice. Our father was charmed by the activity, while Debbie and I were simply amazed by her gutsiness. After all, neither one of us had ever done that ourselves! It was Carolyn who took great offense as the baby of the group, and made sure to let Jenny know on no uncertain terms that he was her father, not Jennie's. After all, Carolyn was Jennie's age, and felt her own special place with our father was being threatened.
Meanwhile, Sonja had the distinction of being the least talented cook we'd ever had. Her Finnish sweet bread with cardamom was divine, but just about everything else that came from her kitchen was less than wonderful. I imagine she managed to stay as long as she did because of Jennie, and my parents felt some responsibility for them. Sonja's most famous dish was a dessert called "Floating Island", which none of us had heard of before. The first time she sent it out to us at dinner, it was introduced with great fanfare by that name as a specialty of hers. We were led to believe that what we were about to experience would be extraordinary. And extraordinary it was. The dessert arrived in individual bowls, a sea of what looked like egg yolk with its island of what looked like uncooked meringue in the center. It was pretty to behold, a bit of artwork in a bowl, but as we soon learned, the best part of this dessert was the name. The soup of egg yolk was very much a soup of egg yolk, with a whipped egg white island that tasted not much different from simple beaten egg white. Somehow, the components of sugar and vanilla or perhaps lemon zest that might have made it more palatable were sorely lacking in strength, leaving the diners with the queasy feeling that they were consuming raw eggs with nothing much more to disguise them. None of us, my parents included, had the nerve to tell her that the dessert of which she was so proud was terrible in equal measure. We thanked her for it after dinner, and from then on, every few weeks, the dreaded dessert would reappear at the table, followed by general quiet mirth and subsequent comic attempts to eat it all up. The dish became a family legend, years after Sonja and Jenny had gone, whenever some food was deemed really bad, someone would invoke the "floating island" story.
Roseanne, one of the maids, was with us many years past the time she should have retired. She took a special interest in our pekingese Pitapat. As our dear dog reached her dotage, so did Roseanne. It was sweet to see Roseanne preparing scrambled eggs and boiled chicken for the dog, no ordinary dog food would do. It was a sight to behold, the dog no longer had her vision, her hearing or her teeth, being fussed over by one so devotedly similar both in countenance and in situation. Roseanne was no nonsense with us, but with Pitapat, she was all love and sweetness.
When the poor dog died, Roseanne was beside herself with grief and didn't last much longer with us, as her source of love and comfort had gone.
With our parents and even Greg, these people were there to do a job. They lived with us, but that was all. Their lives were only relevant to the extent to which they were able to do their work and be pleasant to us about it. For us kids, they were an addition to the mixture of grownups that, more often than not, had a very positive side. These were witnesses to what went on. Their position in the household prevented them from expressing an opinion, but there was a kind of unspoken communication between us children and them. Thinking about it now, it makes sense. They were as powerless as we children were. They did as they were told, as we did too. At times of strife in the household, as with rescues from the table with a glass of unfinished milk, so there might be an sympathetic glance or an extra cookie doled out from the kitchen on a hard day. They could hear it if there was someone yelling from the kitchen and were privy to untold conversations both pleasant and unpleasant. While they served us, they moved barely noticed from room to room doing their chores while our lives went on undisturbed by their presence. They were veritable flies on the wall, and thinking back on it from here, the fact leaves me alternately horrified and embarrassed but wishing I knew where I might find any one of them again, to get a fuller truth of how it was from their perspectives.

In an earlier post, Measuring Liquefied Natural Gas, we looked at the move to liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for marine vessels.
Emerson's Arjan van Ginkel gave me a peek at an unpublished whitepaper, Best practices for LNG measurement using Micro Motion Coriolis flow meters, which he is submitting and presenting at the Metrology for LNG Conference, which will take place October 17-18 in De Lindenhof in Delft, The Netherlands.
Natural gas is made free of carbon dioxide, sulphur hexafluoride and particles to enable easy liquefaction. In liquid form it is compressed 600 times in volume, which allows for easy transport. Cleaning of these greenhouse gases brings down the energy intensity, although due to its high compressibility, volume wise more energy can be transported.
With the abundance of LNG, the drive away from oil, and the clean status of the fuel, it is already proven as a suitable fuel for trucks and now the marine industry sees its clean future in LNG as well. Low sulphur fuels are too expensive (65% of the operating cost is fuel related), LNG is better for the engine, and scrubbers are costly and have not yet proven effective.
…pressure requirements may differ (tanks on trucks have a variety of tank pressures; 8-11 or 18 bar-a), temperatures shift as well and density with it.
…it may be worth checking the energy content, the Gross Calorific Value (GCV). This can be measured from a sample of the natural gas obtained using a sample taker. A heat exchanger and then a gas density meter can supply this measurement.
LNG typically contains propane, which helps ignite the fuel in the engine. If the methane number is too low, the propane may ignite early, causing the engine to knock. This will result in damage to an engine and knowing the methane number will help to avoid this.
Knowing the LNG gas composition from the purchaser or having a gas chromatograph to measure the components helps in knowing the optimum combustion control strategy.
Within the EU there are regulations for the transfer of fluids. These are captured within the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). Companies in the EU and other joining countries are obliged to follow these regulations for installations and custody transfer points. Annex MI-005 applies for LNG – a liquid other than water. Within this annex there are five categories, each having its own accuracy requirements based on difficulty of measurement. LNG, and all other cryogenic liquids, fall into category 2.5. This means that the complete system must measure the fiscal transfer within 2.5% accuracy over the complete batch. The accuracy of the flow meter is required to be within 1.5%. Both the system components and the system itself need to comply with MID regulations.
Bunkering LNG can be performed very accurately when using Micro Motion Coriolis flow meters. Volumetric meters will need compensation for density and most current technologies are unable to get close to the same accuracy. Moreover, most volumetric meters need stable flows, making it difficult to provide the compact installation preferred when building a bunker facility.
The Micro Motion ELITE series, thanks to its unique design and geometry, and the patented Young-modulus (for temperature correction), meets the requirements described within the MID. It also allows the best measuring accuracy on LNG in mass, density and volume, even to the lowest densities of 300kg/m3 and within the regulations of MID and OIML.

Finnish ambassador to bid goodbye to Korea
The Finnish ambassador to Korea, Lauri Korpinen, will be leaving his mission after nearly four years of service on the peninsula.
During his lengthy career as a diplomat, he has served in London, Washington, D.C., Warsaw, Geneva and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. His next post will be in Kuala Lumpur, where he will serve as Finnish ambassador to Malaysia and Brunei.
Finland and Korea have shared diplomatic ties since 1973. One of the most prominent examples of the two countries' economic relations is the successful operation of Nokia, the Finnish communications technology giant, in South Korea.
Finland and Korea, both recognized as strongly competitive IT powers, were designated as co-facilitators in the field of e-commerce in the Asia Europe Meeting summit framework in Copenhagen in October 2002. Nokia has recorded total exports worth $2.7 billion, and in Korea it has ranked first among foreign companies investing in Korea in terms of sales.
But according to Mr. Korpinen, the bonds between Finland and Korea are "much wider" than the IT industry.
Economically, he said he has seen an increase in Finnish companies investing in Korea.
"Twenty five are represented [in Korea] and another 200 have trade connections," he said.
During Mr. Korpinen's tenure, Korea welcomed Finnish President Tarja Halonen for the first time in 2000 and again in 2002.
The two countries also share student and cultural exchanges, such as the architectural exhibition of photographs by Jussi Tiainen and a lecture by leading Finnish architect Pentti Kareoja at the Gana Art Gallery last fall. This summer, says Mr. Korpinen, an exhibition of Korean hanji, or paper, will take place in Finland.
Looking toward the future of Korean-Finnish diplomatic relations, Mr. Korpinen said, "I think that we have to do a lot in trade and economic cooperation."
Mr. Korpinen, who has a keen interest in Korean culture, said he will miss traveling in the Korean countryside with his wife. "It's a beautiful country," he said. "I'll miss the mountains and forests."
Mr. Kim Luodones, the current Finnish ambassador to Singapore, will succeed Mr. Korpinen in Korea.

Australia needs much more solar and wind power, but where are the best sites? We mapped them all
by bpckle | Dec 15, 2022 | Media | 0 comments
Renewable energy's share of Australia's main electricity grid has more than doubled from 16% to 35% in five years, and the federal government wants this figure to reach 82% by 2030.
Nearly all new power plants in Australia are solar and wind because these are the cheapest sources of electricity. Some of the extra solar capacity will be on rooftops. However, most solar and wind farms will necessarily be in regional areas. So where are the best sites?
Our report, released today, set out to answer this question. We developed so-called "heat maps" that identify which sites across Australia are – and are not – suitable for wind and solar projects.
The maps highlight the importance of being close to existing or planned high-voltage transmission lines. We hope our findings will empower communities, landholders, local councils when negotiating with renewable energy developers.
What makes a site suitable?
So what makes a site suitable for a renewable energy project? It depends on:
solar and wind resources – wind in particular can vary greatly from place to place, such as a windy ridge top versus a still valley bottom
access to high-voltage transmission – the transformers, towers and cables that carry generated electricity to the cities
social, cultural and environmental constraints – urban areas, national parks and remnant native forest are unsuitable
aspect (ideally north-facing for solar) and slope (not too steep)
willing hosts – landholders host solar and wind farms and transmission lines in return for large annual payments
social licence – local community support in response to the economic activity and jobs that flow from constructing and maintaining solar and wind farms
government incentives or disincentives
access to roads, skilled workers and local electrical loads.
The two important siting factors that most often vary greatly from place to place within a region are access to the transmission network and to wind resources.
Access to transmission is the largest constraint. Typical power lines cross dozens to hundreds of properties and require complex negotiations with many people.
In contrast, solar and wind farms generally fit on one or a few properties. That usually makes an access agreement much easier to negotiate.
Read more: What is the electricity transmission system, and why does it need fixing?
A closer look at the heat maps
Our high-resolution heat maps identify the solar and wind potential of all prospective areas close to existing or approved high-power transmission.
Pixels in the map are red if a location scores well. Yellow and blue pixels indicate less preferred locations. Green pixels are unsuitable land such as conservation reserves, urban regions and native forests.
The pixels are 1km by 1km for solar and 250m by 250m for wind, because the wind resource varies more rapidly with location.
Users can zoom and pan with ease. Clicking on a pixel obtains an indicative relative cost of generating solar or wind electricity (in A$/MWh) for that location. It includes the cost of energy from a solar or wind farm plus the cost of a low-voltage powerline to the nearest existing or planned high-voltage transmission lines.

It doesn't include costs for environmental and geotechnical approvals, road upgrades, substations, payments to host farmers, risk and others. These costs vary greatly with the scale of the project. To include these costs, heat-map users can select high, medium or low-range costs.
All existing and planned transmission lines with voltage of 275kV or above are included. These include anticipated or actionable projects discussed in the Australian Energy Market Operator's 2022 Integrated System Plan. We added two scenarios for 220kV lines in Tasmania in order to include the Battery of the Nation hydropower project.
We modelled 12 scenarios: six each for solar and wind. The scenarios cover high, medium and low-cost assumptions, with overhead or underground low-voltage powerline connection to the transmission network. Going underground increases the cost by six times.
Landholders might be able to negotiate a substantial annual access fee for overhead powerlines to the transmission network, to allow developers to avoid the costs of going underground. Hybrid overhead-underground powerlines might sometimes be an attractive compromise.
Solar and wind generation within each pixel is assigned to one of five cost classes: A, B, C, D and E. The lower-cost A, B and C classes are strongly preferred.
For each local government area in Australia, we estimated potential solar and wind capacities for the five different cost classes. The renewable resource that can be used will depend on local transmission line capacity and local loads. We can provide detailed information to local councils.

There's no shortage of suitable sites
Class A, B and C sites are all close to existing and planned high-voltage transmission. This consideration outranks excellence of local solar and wind resources. Landholders in Class A/B/C regions can negotiate attractive terms to host solar and wind farms and powerline connections to transmission networks.
A particularly attractive region for solar and wind farms in NSW is the Goulburn-Lithgow district. It's well served by transmission and has good wind and solar resources.

In Victoria, the Yallourn district is attractive because of good wind potential and strong existing transmission into Melbourne, plus there's a need to replace local coal industry jobs. There's also extensive wind potential west of Melbourne, good solar potential in the state's north and extensive offshore wind resources in Bass Strait.
South Australia has excellent wind and solar potential to the east of St Vincent and Spencer gulfs.
Queensland's best wind and solar sites follow the coastal transmission lines north from Brisbane.

Good wind and solar sites in Western Australia follow the transmission lines north and south of Perth.
Tasmania has extensive wind resources along the north coast, on King and Flinders islands and in Bass Strait. Their development depends on the Marinus Link being constructed across Bass Strait.

Who'll benefit from these maps?
Solar and wind farm developers have extensive information and experience in evaluating locations. This creates a large imbalance in knowledge when they negotiate with landholders, communities and governments.
By empowering local councils and landholders to identify suitable sites, our heat maps will help reduce this imbalance.
Developers might benefit, too, if the maps reduce the complexity and time involved in gaining legal access and community acceptance.
Local governments can also use these maps to identify potential zones for multiple solar and wind farms. These renewable energy zones, which are recognised by the states, could help attract developers, boosting local economic activity.

Q: Testing tf.keras.layrs.RandomTranslation on 1D data in tensorflow I'm trying to randomly translate 1D vectors as they get passed into my tensorflow model. I wanted to check how this would affect my data so I can scale the random translation amount properly, but every time I pass my data into the layer, the output is unchanged. Here is my standalone example:
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

layer = tf.keras.layers.RandomTranslation(
    height_factor=0.1,
    width_factor=.1,
    fill_mode='reflect',
    interpolation='bilinear',
    seed=None)

input_data = np.random.random((50,100,1,1))

check = layer(input_data)
check = check.numpy().reshape(-1, 100)
input_data = input_data.reshape(-1,100)

for i in range(2):
    plt.plot(input_data[i], 'blue')
    plt.plot(check[i], 'orange')

The image output is
What do I need to do to get this layer to work? I've tried adding dimensions but it didn't help. Is this because the "model" isn't in training mode?

Fourth-year wrestler and polymer science and engineering major Gavin Dersh-Fisher. In addition to wrestling, he enjoys spending time outside, backpacking and hiking.
Gavin Dersh-Fisher is a fourth-year student and wrestler on the Case Western Reserve University wrestling team. Last season, he earned a 21-13 record along with National Wrestling Coaches Association Scholar All-American recognition. He decided during his second year of college to switch into polymer science and engineering because he wants to take something small and relate it to the big picture. He also has a strong passion for the environment.
What is your favorite part of being on the wrestling team? Why?
Though wrestling isn't always viewed as a team sport, I like the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. Each year I feel like the team gets closer, and the returning individuals grow as people. Furthermore, I enjoy the competitive atmosphere associated with college athletics. It gives me something to work toward when I'm fed up with school.
Where did you get your passion for wrestling? Any good stories?
I started wrestling back when I was in sixth grade. A friend and I agreed that we would both show up to a preseason practice to see how we liked it. He never showed up, but I did. I stuck with it through high school, where I was the captain my senior year. I came from a very academically focused school, so our team was never that big. There were two or three tournaments during my senior year where I was the only athlete from my school to attend. During the sectional tournament my senior year, I came one match away from qualifying for the state tournament. I lost 3-2 to a guy I had beaten in the quarterfinals the previous day. I was heartbroken, but after talking with a couple coaches and seeing [that CWRU] had a Division III team, I wanted to continue my passion and pursue wrestling in college.
I think from college, one match in particular that stands out is my very first match my [second] year. I was wrestling against a redshirt [first-year] from Kent State [University], who afterwards I was told was a state placer in Ohio the year before. Going into the match I was nervous because I knew this guy was from a Division I school, but I won by pin. After [my first] year where I felt subpar, winning this match just justified that all the hard work I had put in during the offseason was paying off. It also told me that I could compete with wrestlers at any level, and I had the skill and drive to compete.
Aside from wrestling, what else are you involved in on campus? Can you explain what you do in them?
I used to be in Beta Theta Pi, but I dropped it after my [second] year. I'm not really involved in any other organizations on campus. The closest thing would be my research lab in the macromolecular science and engineering building where I work on looking at the physical interactions between polymer grafted nanoparticles.
Why are you majoring in polymer science and engineering? What interests you about it?
I chose polymer science because I felt that as an engineer I [would be] able to take something small and relate it to a larger picture. I chose polymers because I enjoyed chemistry more than I enjoyed physics.
Along with my undergraduate degree, I am also pursuing a [master of science] degree as part of the BS/MS program. With both of my degrees, I hope to pursue a job in industry. Ideally I would like to work for a company that is environmentally conscious, where within the company I hope to work within the manufacturing department.
As a kid, my dad always brought me along on hikes and backpacking trips. He also got me into climbing. In my free time I really enjoy rock climbing, hiking and, when I get the chance, backpacking. A group of my friends on campus really enjoy mountain biking, so every once in awhile I will join them.
What inspires me is the supporting cast I have around me. My parents are incredibly supportive of everything I do. I have a good friend group from both high school and CWRU that have helped me make it to this point. Seeing other people succeed inspires me to work harder so that I may succeed.


In the past working day, Ethereum (ETH) has been on a slide dropping 3 % rejecting better highs earlier mentioned $500. Even though we are web bullish, chances are ETH sellers might force lower under $450 triggering our provide trades with targets at $400 and $350.
Sergey Brin is the ninth richest gentleman in the environment with a web really worth of somewhere around $52 billion. He's also the co-founder of Google, now Alphabet-a multi-billion greenback business he started with Larry Site. So, this man is abundant, occupies a situation of influence and his comment on any subject matter/ stability can cause a buzz in the market. Sergey has been caught just before praising cryptocurrencies and crediting them for building a computing boom and a technological renaissance previously this calendar year.
Zero-understanding evidence is a cryptography basic principle which enables to prove a thing with out in fact revealing the understanding. This engineering is applied to allow privacy features where by people can conceal the transaction details even though nevertheless securing the network on a general public ledger.
He pointed out the need triggered by GPU welcoming evidence of get the job done algorithms that some cryptocurrencies use and how this was building some form of a boom. In addition to, he couldn't support but laud the privacy of zero-understanding proofs utilized by diverse cryptographic algorithms. Zero-understanding proofs despite not becoming applied by Ethereum have introduced an edge to some as ZCash for illustration. This is so for the reason that they conceal transaction even though enabling seamless relationship to the general public ledger.
Sergey Brin, Google's Co-founder, took a part on Blockchain Summit currently ongoing at Sir Richard Branson's Morocco. He is mining #ethereum with his son.⚒ And sees the long run in this intellect blowing technologies.
Recently, in a Blockchain Summit held in Morocco, Sergey discovered that he was an avid lover of diverse cryptocurrencies and in particular Ethereum which he stated he was mining with his teenage son. This is a stamp of acceptance of some types for Ethereum which despite rigid opposition nevertheless has extra than 85 % of blockchain start ups launching their ICOs on their intelligent contract platform. Of course, there are numerous explanations advising their decisions just before settling on a verified platform full with token standardization. All this is a in addition for Ethereum.
It's distinct that we have this 3 bar reversal sample, the Morning Star at or close to the major assistance line at $400 in this time body. Nevertheless, there would seem to be resistance of better highs despite the superior volumes confirming that complex development more than the earlier 3 weeks. Though we comprehend bears are in cost and edging closer to $400, it is how this week's candle would near that could opportunity identify the short to medium trajectory of Ethereum (ETH). Any reversal of past week's gains and near under $450 will efficiently terminate our bullish skew.
Extremely, we were web bullish on ETH waiting for potential buyers to force earlier mentioned $500, our major induce line. Nevertheless, regardless of July 7 up-thrust, ETH potential buyers did not deal with to near earlier mentioned that line. Now, as it stands, it would seem like sellers are snapping again to craze. In fact odds are our $450 minimal provide induce line would be are living depending on how the up coming two times candlesticks near. As ETH selling price action sway, we shall continue to be neutral until eventually both of our trade circumstances are achieved.
Disclaimer: Sights and views expressed are these of the writer and aren't expense tips. Buying and selling of any sort involves danger and so do your thanks diligence just before making a buying and selling decision.

Q: UIButton multi-line text with tail truncation I have found similar questions that ask how to have multi-line text on a UIButton, and the solution is to set
[myUIButton.titleLabel setLineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
[myUIButton setTitle:myTitle forState:UIControlStateNormal];

However, this results in the button title taking up many lines.  I have tried restricting the number of lines using
[myUIButton.titleLabel setNumberOfLines:2];

but this does not have any affect on the resulting number of lines.
Is there a way to limit the lines word wrapped to 2 lines on the UIButton title, and then have the tail truncated with "..."?

A: I know its been a while since the question was first asked, but I came across the same problem and endend up with a simple but functional solution after considering the answer posted
here.
The solution that worked for me was the following:
// Set the line break mode to word wrap so it won't truncate automatically
[button.titleLabel setLineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

// Call a method that truncates the string I want to use
[button setTitle:[self truncateString:myButtonText] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

And the truncateString method:
- (NSString *)truncateString:(NSString *)stringToTruncate
{
    if ([stringToTruncate length] > 50)
        stringToTruncate = [[stringToTruncate substringToIndex:50] stringByAppendingString:@"..."];

    return  stringToTruncate;
}

So basically I calculated the number of characters that would work for my button, and then forced any string longer than that to have the '...' at the end. I know its not the ideal solution but I guess it can work for some of us, I hope it helps.

A: By setting lineBreakMode before numberOfLines your desired result can be achieved…
This is because lineBreakMode seems to cancel out numberOfLines set hence we are doing it in this order.
Objective-C:
[button.titleLabel setLineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeTailTruncation];
[button.titleLabel setNumberOfLines:2];
[button setTitle:myTitle forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Swift 3:
from Xcode 6 and above UILineBreakMode is replaced by NSLineBreakMode
button.titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.byTruncatingTail
button.titleLabel?.numberOfLines = 2
button.setTitle(myTitle, for: UIControlState.normal)

A: [button.titleLabel setNumberOfLines:2];
[button.titleLabel setLineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeTailTruncation];
[button setTitle:myTitle forState:UIControlStateNormal];

it does it for me! :D
cheers!!


Most people know that in Korea, having some food while drinking is incredibly common. Food served while drinking even has its own name, anju. Anju can come in many different forms and it is usually ordered for the table and shared among the people who are drinking.
What you may not know, however, is about the recent trend of drinking alone. Called hon-sul (a portmanteau of the Korean words for alone and alcohol), people who do it love the fact that they can sit down and enjoy and enjoy a drink without having the pressure of a drinking in a group environment.
It is part of a wider trend of spending some quality time alone that includes hon-bab (eating alone) and hon-haeng (traveling alone).
While hon-sul can be seen in bars, it often takes place at home as people can relax with a drink in the comfort of their own home.
Of course, this provides a problem when it comes to Anju. What can hungry hon-sul drinkers eat while enjoying their beverage at home?
Well, in order to solve that problem, convenience store chain CU has rolled out a line of products specifically designed for eating while drinking alone.
Each set comes with a mix of different types of food, all in a package that one person can eat on their own while drinking. If you want to try it out for yourself, it will only cost 3,800 won for the meal.
While on the surface they may look similar to other microwavable meals, the products all lack one crucial ingredient, rice, that differentiates them from the other options.
There are two different types available. The first one is designed to be eaten while drinking Soju and includes Jaeyukbokkeum (spicy pork), mandu, cheese gratin, fried sausage and vegetable, and ramen. The second is designed for beer and includes macaroni salad, mandu, okonomiyaki, and ramen.
The foods are expected to be a hit as it emerged last year that convenience stores are now the biggest sellers of alcohol in Korea, ousting discount stores in the process.


I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine in Science in 2012. I also competed and graduated from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana 05-08. I was voted a two time Co-Captain and help lead the team to three podium finishes.
I have worked exclusively in outpatient Physical Therapy since graduation, and have specialized in gymnastics injuries. I've treated everything from low back pain to Achilles tendon repairs.
It has always been my dream to have my own Physical Therapy practice attached to a gymnastics gym. I am now making this dream a reality, and excited to make a difference in the sport that gave me so much.

Q: Chrome won't open from batch file in Windows Task Scheduler I have a batch file that opens a webpage in chrome, and then moves and renames a file that is downloaded from the website. The batch file works when I manually run it. The file does not work when I set the file to run in the windows task scheduler
set date=%DATE:~10,4%_%DATE:~4,2%_%DATE:~7,2%

A: I recommend you using built-in tools such as bitsadmin, though some people whine about how it's depreciated and the next thing you'll see is powershell/vbs alternative.
Bitsadmin downloads it for you so you'd need no timeout 10 if you won't run it in another instance. Sometimes it can take a second to get to the full download speed. Only disadvantage I see is automatic cls of your cmd screen, therefore the way with start bitsadmin and then you could check for %errorlevel% equ 0 for succesful download.
bitsadmin.exe /transfer "<name_of_job>" "<url>" "<where to save>"

This way even your move seems unnecessary. Check bitsadmin /? for more info.

A: I stopped trying to run Chrome in the windows task scheduler. Instead I installed the chrome extension Crontabs. I setup Crontabs to open the page at a certain time then close the tab after a few minutes. I continued to use the Windows Task Scheduler to move the downloaded file. I had to disable sleep/hibernate for this to work while I am away from my computer.

Watch the 'For the People' Cast Talk Season 2
Cast members Anna Deavere Smith, Britt Robertson, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Charles Michael Davis, Ben Shenkman, and Susannah Flood discuss Season 2 of the legal drama.
By Shondaland
While the second season of For the People doesn't officially hit airwaves until Thursday night, on Tuesday, the SAG-AFTRA foundation held a special screening of the premier episode, "First Inning." In it, Sandra finds herself defending a teenage gamer, Roger's determined to charge the teenager from the "swatting cast" (and pushing Kate to her limits in the process), and Jay's representing a spoiled millennial who might go to jail for petty crimes.
That's all we know until we get our own chance to see the episode, but, for now, we can at least drop in on some of the FTP cast — including Britt Robertson, Anna Deavere Smith, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Charles Michael Davis, Ben Shenkman and Susannah Flood — who are sitting down with SAG and People magazine's Breanne Heldman for an in-depth chat about the episode and the rest of season two.
