Heat cream in small saucepan, bring to simmer. Add lavender, and cover. Move to a cool burner and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain the cream, and bring back to a gentle simmer. Pour over the chocolate, stirring to melt. Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into a shallow container, cover, and refrigerate until firm, at least four hours.
Once the chocolate mixture is chilled, you are ready to roll them out. You may need to let it sit for 15 minutes to bring to a workable temperature. Set up two bowls- one with toasted chopped walnuts, and another with toasted coconut. Using a small melon baller, scrape the chocolate out and roll into a ball with your hands. I had originally started out using a small ice cream scoop, but I found that for the consistency of my lavender ganache, (a little harder than usual) it worked best to flake the chocolate with a spoon, and gather the flakes into a small ball. Work off of the consistency of the chocolate- it will be a little different every time!
If you place the rolled truffles into the fridge for about 30 minutes they'll develop a "skin", and it will take less cocoa powder to adhere to the truffles. If you're dipping them in nuts or coconut flakes no need for this extra step. This is just to prevent dark cocoa spots and too much cocoa powder on the truffles.

Le président de la république du Kosovo (en albanais : Presidenti i Republikës së Kosovës et en serbe : Председник Република Косова/Predsednik Republika Kosova) est le chef de l'État kosovar. Il est élu par l'Assemblée du Kosovo.

Le premier « président du Kosovo » officiel est Fatmir Sejdiu, alors que la province est encore sous administration internationale. Il est également le premier président de la république du Kosovo indépendant. Pour les Kosovars cependant, le premier président est Ibrahim Rugova, titulaire du poste entre 1992  et son décès en 2006.

Atifete Jahjaga est la seule titulaire de la fonction à avoir terminé son mandat.

Élections présidentielles

Incompatibilité
L'article 88 de la Constitution dispose que le président ne peut exercer aucune fonction publique ni aucune fonction au sein d'un parti politique.

Conditions d'éligibilité
L'article 85 dispose explicitement deux conditions d'éligibilité à la présidence : être citoyen kosovare et avoir au minimum 35 ans. Un citoyen doit avoir recueillis au moins 30 signatures de députés de Assemblée du Kosovo pour être candidat.

Le président est élu pour un mandat de cinq ans renouvelable une seule fois au suffrage indirect par les 120 membres de l'Assemblée, à bulletin secret. Cette élection doit se dérouler au moins 30 jours avant la fin du mandat du président sortant.

Pour se présenter, un candidat doit obtenir les signatures de soutien d'au moins trente députés. Ces derniers ne peuvent donner leur soutien qu'à un seul candidat.
Est élu à la présidence le candidat recueillant une majorité des deux tiers du total des députés, soit 80 voix. À défaut, un second tour est organisé dans les mêmes conditions. Si aucun candidat n'est élu au bout des deux premiers tours, un troisième est organisé entre les deux candidats ayant obtenu le plus de voix au deuxième tour. Est alors déclaré élu le candidat recueillant la majorité absolue du total des députés, soit 61 voix. Les députés peuvent néanmoins s'abstenir ou voter blancs ou nuls.

Si aucun candidat n'est élu à l'issue du troisième tour, l'assemblée est dissoute et des élections législatives convoquées dans les quarante cinq jours. Une nouvelle élection présidentielle est organisée après la prise de fonction des nouveaux députés.

Les majorités exigées sont basées sur le nombre total de membres de l'assemblée, et non les seuls membres présents. Le , l'homme d'affaires Behgjet Pacolli est élu président de la République par l'Assemblée du Kosovo après avoir conclu une alliance avec le Parti démocratique du Kosovo (PDK) du Premier ministre sortant Hashim Thaçi. Les partis d'opposition, notamment la Ligue démocratique du Kosovo (LDK) et l'Alliance pour l'avenir du Kosovo (AAK) boycottent la séance et saisissent la Cour constitutionnelle. Le , celle-ci déclare l'élection illégale : seuls 67 députés sur 120 étaient présents lors du vote, un nombre inférieur aux deux tiers requis par la Constitution.

Si cette raison est une maladie grave, alors l'Assemblée doit consulter les consultants médicaux pour confirmer l'état de santé du président. Si cette raison est une violation de la Constitution, la pétition doit être soumise à la Cour constitutionnelle qui doit en déterminer la validité dans les sept jours.

Si le président a été condamné pour un crime sérieux, ou si l'Assemblée détermine que le président ne peut exercer ses fonctions du fait d'une maladie grave, ou encore, si la Cour constitutionnelle confirme la violation de la Constitution, l'Assemblée peut destituer le président par un vote des deux tiers de ses membres.

Q: Create overline text I am currently trying to create a boolean algebra simplifier.
This will allow the user to input boolean algebra expressions with the standard notation:

*

*+ for the OR gate,

*⊕ for the XOR gate,

*• for the AND gate and

*overlines for the NOT gate.

I am coding my project with Windows Forms and C#. I am able to use the all of the symbols previously mentioned except the overlines.
I do not know of a method that I could use to create overlines over my expressions.
The overline should be able to go over multiple characters and there should be the ability to 'stack' overlines as can be done with Microsoft Word.
Is there a way to achieve this?

A: It's Character Number 773 in C# character set. so here is an example:
        string A = "X̅x̅";
        string B = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < A.Length; i++)
        {
            B += (int)A[i] + " - ";
        }

I think typing this special character is a hard task by keyboard. there are some other notation to displaying boolean algebra expressions. (e.g ^,|,v,->,=>,<=>, ...)

Abstract: Since 2008, fewer customers switched suppliers in British electricity and gas markets despite the potential for financial gains, suggesting that psychological factors may affect switching behaviors. Using a unique nation-wide British survey, we explore the influence of consumers' attitudes and perceptions on switching behaviors and assess the differences in switching propensity across different groups. Support for simplifying energy tariffs, professed less difficulty in understanding energy bills, expected difficulty in changing suppliers and lack of attention to the issue of energy prices are associated with lower switching activity. At a time of high saliency, political party voting intention was strongly related to switching. Unlike the bivariate analyses conducted by the regulator and the competition authority, our multivariate analysis show few demographic factors affect the likelihood of switching except for educational attainment and tariff payment patterns. Remedies aiming to encourage switching cannot be targeted correctly unless the supporting analysis is robust to alternative model specifications.

What would you take a pie in the face for?
At Synapse, that's not an idle question. Synapse Founder and CEO Bobby Deraco and several members of our leadership team recently got creamed to raise money for the fight against blood cancers.
For several years, Synapse has supported the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's annual Light the Night Walk through Team A&B, founded in honor of Bobby's stepfather, Bruce Eckert, who is battling multiple myeloma. Last year, employees donated for the chance to dress casually in August. This year, we wanted to top our efforts.
Before long, one of our creative minds fronted the idea of auctioning off opportunities to throw pies at one another. Bobby and Aimée Urban, our president and COO, not only agreed, but sweetened the deal: if we raised more money than last year, we would go casual permanently.
Bobby led the charge, taking no fewer than 17 pies in the face. Aimée also took a pie in the face, as did Mike Deraco, vice president of Production, Andy Koo, vice president of Interactive Services, and Skip Feister, distribution specialist. When the cream settled (and Skip had washed and blow dried his hair back to its customary perfection), we'd raised more than $2,500 for Team A&B.
Bruce has always fought his battle against myeloma with signature positivity. Our pie "battle" was fought in the same spirit. It certainly demonstrated Positivity and Commitment, two of the core values that are painted on our walls here in bright Synapse orange. Many of our employees continued the commitment by joining Team A&B in the Lancaster Light the Night Walk, helping Team A&B achieve record donations of more than $11,765. In addition, Synapse extended the commitment year-round by establishing an annual $5,000 scholarship for blood cancer research named in Bruce's honor.
We exceeded our goal and are now an all-casual workplace (a good thing in an office where pies sometimes fly). We also had a lot of fun together. It may be a by-product of working in marketing, or of the off-beat types we tend to attract, but we take our fun seriously here at Synapse—not just because we'll do anything for a good laugh (we will), but because it works. Just ask Bruce Eckert.

This month's article addresses reasons why businesses sell and how value can be generated by planning ahead and consulting with advisors. Many buyers become fixated on the reason that a business is for sale. I suspect that is because most people look for bargains such as buying a business due to a sudden health event relating to the existing owner. Similarly, there is a sense of security if a business provided income to an owner that was retiring after twenty plus years of owning the business. Within the M & A advisory community, we often discuss how our industry is event driven by factors such as a divorce, death, disability, relocation, etc. Although the reason for sale is a fact to be considered among many others, we have also encountered numerous situations where a serial entrepreneur acquires a business, perhaps a small company with a straight forward concept, builds it up, sells it, and then acquires another, perhaps larger, more complex company.
I am reminded of a buyer, Ted, that we worked with several years ago. Ted would look for a business that he would grade out at 55 or 65. Buy the company, improve it to a grade of about 85, sell it, and look for another business with a 55 or 65 grade and start the process over again. Ted's theory was that it was fairly easy to increase the business from a low grade to 85, but that it was more time consuming and challenging to take a business from a grade of 85 to 95. He did that on multiple occasions with us before relocating out of our market area.
According to quarterly Market Pulse data, Retirement and Burnout were consistently seen in most segments throughout 2017 as the top reasons for selling a business. Other reasons reported throughout the year were New Opportunities, Recapitalization, Family Issues, Health, and Relocation. The following chart takes into consideration the data from all four 2017 quarterly reports.
The data also shows that, even though the events of retirement and burnout are commonly seen as top reasons for selling a business, it is also very common to see that these predictable events are often not planned for. The main goal of planning the exit of a business is to better position yourself to receive the greatest amount of profit and to "not leave money on the table". Business owners who plan often find that there are some easily implemented changes that can be made to substantially raise the value of their business. Although it does seem more logical to plan for retirement than it does to plan for burnout, the act of planning can help you avoid burnout. Just as entrepreneurs are often driven in the beginning stages of owning a business by the newness of the adventure, the goals that need to be reached, and the benchmarks that need to be achieved, planning can help to put these things back into the business and revitalize you for that final push in maximizing the value of what you have built.
It is interesting to see that, as the value of the business increases, the tendency to plan also increases. This may be due to larger businesses providing more time for the owner to work on the business, as opposed to in the business, and may also be directly tied to the skill level of the owner. None the less, any business owner can take advantage of this knowledge and start to plan now.
If you think that you may be three to five years from selling your business, the time to start planning is now. For help getting started, contact The FBB Group. Our consultations are confidential and without obligation.

Q: Passing arbitrary number of parameter to a function in javascript I would like to write a javascript function that works something like this...
f([["a"]], function(e){alert(e);});
// results in alert("a");

f([["a"], ["b"]], function(e1,e2){alert(e1 + ":" + e2);});
//results in alert("a:b");

f([["a", "b"], ["c"]], function(e1,e2){alert(e1 + ":" + e2);});
//results in alert("a:c");alert("b:c");

I can think of a recursive solution for the looping, but how do I send a "unknown" number of variables to a function?

A: If you put all your arguments into an array (lets call it foo), you can call a function fn with those arguments by using the apply-function.
fn.apply(null, foo)

The first argument (null in this case) is whatever you want this to be inside of the called function. null will probably work for you.

A: According to this page, you can access any/all arguments using the arguments variable:
function f() {
    for( var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++ ) {
         //do something with arguments[i]
    }
}

[EDIT]
Now that I understand what you're trying to do, here's a (dirty) way to do it:
Seriously, don't do it this way.  It's horrible.  Puppies will die.
function f(arr, fn) {
    var s = "fn(";
    for( var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
        //you can implement your recursive code here if you like; I'm just doing the base cases
        s += arr[i];
        if(i+1 < arr.length) {
            s += ",";
        }
    }
    s += ");";
    eval(s);
}

And for a cleaner way:
function f(arr, fn) {
    fn.apply(this, arr);
}

A: Within the function you can use the variable arguments to see what was passed. IE
function blah() {
   console.log(arguments);
}

blah(1, 2); // [1, 2]
blah([1, 2], [3]); // [[1,2], [3]]
blah(1, [2, 3], "string"); // [1, [2, 3], "string"]

A: You can use the arguments pseudo-array available within the function to get the arguments passed in without declaring them explicitly (i,e. regardless of whether you define an argument for a function, you can access everything passed in to the function via the arguments implicit variable within that function).

A: You can use the arguments variable that each function has to go through all the passed in arguments.
function myConcat(separator) {
   var result = ""; // initialize list
   // iterate through arguments
   for (var i = 1; i < arguments.length; i++) {
      result += arguments[i] + separator;
   }

See this article for a discussion of variable number of arguments.


Does it feel like there is something missing in your life? Do you sometimes think that you are capable of so much more, but just don't seem to have the motivation to get there? How often does it occur to you that your efforts could produce spectacular results if you just tried a little harder? Achieving our personal best and living up to our potential is something that we all deserve. So then, why are we hindered? What holds us back from achieving our true potential?
Insecurities, doubt, discouraging people, or traumatic events can all lead us down the path of just doing "enough" to get by in life. Sometimes we may even hold back because we dread being in the spotlight or looking like a show-off.
Other times we may not even be aware of our potential because we've been told we're not good enough, or we fear failure so greatly that we simply don't apply ourselves. It's a sad reality. The fact is that so many of us never reach our true potential for one of these reasons or another. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Imagine what it would be like to unlock hidden talents and improve your natural abilities. Believe in yourself and feel proud of your accomplishments. No longer wonder what would have happened if you just tried a little harder.
Achieving your potential is what you were meant to do. You natural abilities are yours to be explored and improved upon.
Unlock your highest potential and become limitless through the use of this visual meditation. Just like the drug NZT, this session will help you to unlock your hidden potential to become the person you have always wanted to be. Your mind will become clear and you will know where you want to go in life and the steps you have to take to get there. You will dare to fix purposes that you might have thought impossible to achieve in a lifetime.
Once the positive beliefs and attitudes are operating in your subconscious mind, they will automatically work to create corresponding outcomes in your life. Your subconscious mind is much like an auto-pilot on an airplane that keeps it on course in the way it has been programmed. If the auto-pilot was programmed to take the plane into a mountain that is exactly what it would do. Your subconscious mind takes you in the direction it is programmed, and that can be either positive or negative.
This subconscious reprogramming tool will guide you into a deep state of relaxed suggestibility. This means your subconscious mind will be open to the positive suggestions embedded in this video. Repeated use of this video will allow these suggestions to sink deeply into your subconscious mind and take root. After a few weeks or months you will begin to notice positive changes in your life, your surroundings and your outlook.
To get the full benefits out of these sessions it is imperative that you read and follow a few simple instructions first.
1. Find a place to lie down and relax in where you won't be disturbed.
2. Listen to with headphones on.
3. Try to listen to the session twice a day. The best times are before you sleep at night and on waking in the morning.
4. Even if you can't create in your mind positive visualizations of what you want, this session still remain effective because of the powerful footage selected to help you focus on everything good for your perfect lifestyle.
5. Use everyday twice a day for a period of 4 weeks. After that - as little or as often as you need.

15+ Scary (But Not TOO Scary!) Halloween Movies for Kids
Photo Via Hocus Pocus
Looking for the best Halloween movies for your kids that might give them a few goosebumps but won't have them running into your bed in the middle of the night? Our favorite "light-fright" films include kid-friendly titles such as Frankenweenie and the all-time classic It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. We teamed up with Common Sense Media to bring you a list of 15+ flicks that will be sure to get them in the Halloween spirit (and you can check out CSM's entire list right here). You're sure to find something with just the right amount of spookiness for your kids. Get ready, get set, boo!
Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie (Ages 3+)
After Pooh gobbles all the trick-or-treat candy (and immediately feels remorseful, on top of having one monstrous tummy ache), Lumpy and best friend Roo embark on a brave quest to find the dreaded Gobloon. Although the DVD has a Halloween theme, the scares are relatively mild—a few of the worst frights include bats, crows, and a wheelbarrow full of jack o' lanterns that seem to come alive.
Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest (Ages 3+)
Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest features, familiar, friendly characters and treats spooky Halloween images (for example, ghosts and spiders) with gentle humor and a very mild "boo" factor. George's friends recall the legend of a headless scarecrow (No Noggin), but even that legend is presented in a way that is not truly suspenseful or frightening, making this flick fine for preschool kids.
If You Give A Mouse A Pumpkin (Ages 3+)
This Halloween-themed episode from the wholesome If You Give A Mouse A Cookie series is a gentle entry into the holiday for toddlers and elementary-aged kids. Its presentation of Halloween is entirely nonthreatening, but a main character (Moose) gives voice to some aspects of the holiday that kids might relate to, including images and costumes that can be scary. Happily the story shows him overcome those fears with the support of his friends, reminding viewers that fears don't have to define you. Positive messages about friendship, teamwork, and kindness round out this sweet holiday special.
Eloise's Rawther Unusual Halloween (Ages 4+)
It's Halloween, and the just as The Plaza entertains potential new buyers, the legendary Diamond Jim Johnson returns for his annual hotel haunt. Parents need to know that this film opens with a character's death in a horse-and-carriage wreck, though it's not graphic. From there, it features the run-of-the-mill frights of Halloween: ghosts, scary sounds, surprises, and general creepiness.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (Ages 4+)
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is a Peanuts classic that appeals to all ages. It promotes many favorite American Halloween traditions like trick-or-treating and apple bobbing, not to mention the infamous Great Pumpkin (who must have missed Linus' pumpkin patch somehow). You can almost smell the donuts, cider, and piles of leaves on a crisp fall day when you start watching this classic Peanuts Halloween special.
A Very Brave Witch and More Great Halloween Stories for Kids (Ages 4+)
With eight stories in the collection, quality and kid-appeal varies from story to story, but each has some charming or attractive element. Some stories, like "A Dark, Dark Tale" and "By the Light of the Halloween Moon," involve very little narrative, but offer sweet introductions to sprites, witches, and other traditionally scary characters. The variety in animation (three stories feature only still illustrations), narration, and music make this a pleasant mix of simple and more complex seasonal tales that most kids will enjoy throughout the year.
Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman (Ages 4+)
This movie revolves around Theodore and his struggles with his shaky self-image. Unpleasant encounters with a school bully undermine his self-confidence, but his role in a school play allows him to begin to believe in himself. Meanwhile, a horror movie-obsessed Alvin becomes convinced that the chipmunk's new neighbor is a werewolf.
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (ages 6+)
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad offers animated adaptations of two children's literature classics: Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Often overlooked even by Disney fans, this Disney double-feature is classic animation at its best and features Basil Rathbone and Bing Crosby as narrators. With a cozy Edwardian setting, a dollop of slapstick violence, and a variety of British stereotypes, the tale of Mr. Toad is an endearing foray into Merrie Olde England.
Hotel Transylvania (ages 7+)
Hotel Transylvania is a good introductory "monster movie" for little kids—the monsters are tame, and the story focuses on Dracula and his daughter as she comes of age (118!). "Drac" has planned a huge birthday celebration. As the hotel fills with Mavis' many monster aunties and uncles — like werewolf Wayne, Frankenstein, Mummy Griffin, and the Invisible Man—an unexpected visitor arrives in the form of 21-year-old Jonathan, a solo backpacker who somehow stumbles across the supposedly untraceable castle.
The Addams Family (Ages 7+)
The Addams Family is the latest take on the popular characters who've already been the subject of cartoons, a classic TV show, and two early '90s movies. It's not quite as macabre as its live-action predecessors, but there's still plenty of dark humor, an emphasis on violence and weapons, and incidents when townsfolk raise arms against the eerie Addamses. With its star-studded voice cast and name recognition, audiences will expect more laughs—or frights—from this unremarkable reboot of the legendary macabre comedy.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (ages 7+)
The Nightmare Before Christmas is an offbeat, stop motion-animated movie that's one of the great family films for all ages. The story centers around Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King—a creature who is to Halloween what Santa is to Christmas. When Jack becomes bored with staging yet another frightnight for the sketchy members of Halloweentown, he wanders away from town one night and stumbles across Christmastown and becomes immediately entranced. Jack decides he needs to bring Christmas to Halloweentown and he is willing to do just about anything to make it happen—even it if means kidnapping Santa himself.
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Ages 8+)
Wallace and Gromit run a pest-riddance company, Anti-Pesto. Each night, they're alerted by the elaborate security system the townspeople have attached to their prized vegetable gardens, and go forth in their well-outfitted truck to capture (but never kill) the offending creatures—typically rodents and rabbits. But an experiment goes awry, and soon a giant were-rabbit is stomping through the town at night, ravaging the squashes and pumpkins, and threatening to shut down Tottington Hall's annual Giant Vegetable Competition. Wallace and Gromit are on the case.
Frankenweenie (Ages 9+)
Tim Burton's black-and-white, stop-motion animated film Frankenweenie is the feature-length version of a short he made early in his career. Like most of Burton's films, Frankenweenie's tone is dark and creepy and will likely scare kids who are sensitive to the macabre. On the other hand, this tale of a very young Frankenstein who reanimates his beloved pet dog is a great introduction to the horror genre for older kids and tweens who are ready for some scares—like when a group of kids reanimates various pets that go wild (one ends up as big as Godzilla) and terrorize the tow. Both an homage to classic monster movies and a tender relationship drama about the love between a boy and his dog, this is a film that works on so many levels.
Goosebumps (Ages 9+)
Goosebumps is a live-action movie based on the best-selling middle-grade horror novels by R.L. Stine. There are lots of different kinds of monsters (who could certainly frighten young/sensitive kids), and though teens are in peril and there are some scares, the main focus is on action: chasing, fighting, destruction, and chaos. It harks back to a time when horror fans simply loved monsters and took pride in not being afraid of them. The movie parades an endless, imaginative array of monsters and allows viewers to make their own connections.
Hocus Pocus (Ages 10+)
Three hundred years ago in Salem, Mass., three witches murdered a little girl and cursed her older brother, Thackery, turning him into an immortal cat. The witches, better known as the Sanderson Sisters, are hanged for the crime, but just before their sentence is carried out, Winnie Sanderson (Bette Midler), casts a spell to bring them back to life on a future Halloween night. This perennial Halloween favorite is full of silly moments and has lasting Halloween appeal for kids (and adults).
Monster House (Ages 10+)
You know that scary old house down the street? Turns out, it's a real live monster! This animated family horror movie—yup, that's what it is—centers around three kids who discover that a neighbor's house is actually a living, breathing monster. Parents need to know this is a pretty scary movie, and the last 20 minutes, in particular, take a turn for the dark. With windows like eyes and a flying carpet that unfurls tongue-like out the front door to scoop up trespassers, the house is a wonderfully alive structure.
Young Frankenstein (Ages 12+)
After denouncing his grandfather's work as "doo doo," Young Frankenstein, also known as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, receives word that he's inherited his famous ancestor's Transylvanian castle. There, with the help of his lab assistant Inga and pop-eyed hunchback Igor, he discovers a secret library containing his grandfather Victor's notes on how to bring the dead to life. The 1974 Mel Brooks movie parodies the timeless monster story. Like all of Mel Brooks' movies, there is plenty of sexual innuendo here—references to "a roll in the hay," "knockers," and the use of a German word that clearly means "penis." The gags might be lame, and the script is almost infantile, but if you thought this film was funny in 1974, you're just as likely to get a kick out of it today.

Apparently there are a lot of abandoned costume jewelry factories in Providence, Rhode Island. And somehow or another, boxes and boxes of old rusty metal jewelry has been sitting abandoned in the basement of a friend's space here. I scored a lot of weird earring pieces, each about 2″ tall and 1″ wide (I'm eyeballing that). And I've recently renewed my interest in chainmail and assorted fuedalpunk DIY projects.
They seem to work pretty well for scalemail. I used this youtube instructional video about linking scales together, mixed with some split-ring links I got recently from The Ring Lord (what an fitting name for the main manufacturer of chainmail supplies in North America). It took me awhile to figure out how to drill the pieces. The Ring Lord's scales (featured in the above video) have a single large hole, but the teardrop shape of these earrings wasn't right for that method (I tried). I hit upon putting three holes in each with a 13/64″ bit and a drillpress.
And then started linking them together. The top hole ends up with two rings through it, each bottom hole with only one. Here's the pattern, viewed from the back.
Since each row is offsetted, I'll probably use rows with alternating numbers of scales. At the moment, each row alternates between 3 and 4 scales. We'll see how big it'll need to be to make nice pauldrons for a leather jacket or a chainmail byrnie or whatever the hell I put it on first.

What to look for when Designing Your Smile!
1. Horizontal Symmetry: Draw an imaginary horizontal line through the centre of both your pupils and another horizontal line between the tips of your canine teeth. Ideally, these two horizontal lines should be parallel. Often, one side slopes down.
2. Vertical Symmetry: Draw an imaginary vertical line through the centre of your face. This mid-line should run through the centre of your eyes, nose and chin. Ideally, the mid-line should also run through your two central incisors thus making the central incisors a mirror image of each other.
3. Smile Width: Ideally, a wide smile will show your first molar to first molar tooth. Although if you have a narrow smile you may only see the front six teeth from canine to canine.
4. Smile Line: Draw an imaginary curve along the bottom of your upper teeth and compare it to an imaginary curve of your lower lip. Ideally, your smile should be curved in order to look younger.
5. Gum Line: Draw an imaginary curve along the top of your upper teeth. Ideally, only the pink triangular parts of gum between the teeth show. However, some people show a lot more gum or the gum that shows is uneven, giving them an irregular gum line.
6. The Golden Proportion: This special proportion was discovered by the Greeks and is found in many areas of nature. Ideally, the widths of each of the front teeth compared to the next follows this special proportion.
7. Tooth Proportion: Ideally the width of a tooth should be approximately 80% of the length. However for patients that wear/grind their teeth, this ration is closer to 1:1 as the teeth have shortened and become squarer. This is a way to measure exactly how much tooth has been lost over the years and is often used to rebuild edges of teeth to their ideal proportions and perfect smile.
8. Embrasure Space: These are the little triangular like spaces between the tips of the front teeth. Without embrasure spaces, the teeth would look like flat piano keys with no character to them. Ideally, the embrasure spaces should be smallest between the two central incisors and gradually become larger as you examine teeth further into the mouth. An ideal feminine smile tends to have more definite round embrasures.

Q: ZendFramework Zend_Form_Element_File setDestination vs rename filter The code says Zend_Form_element_File::setDestination() is deprecated and to use the rename filter. However the rename filter is currently codes such that when path is set, only temporary name is given. Original filename is lost.
<?php
$file = new Zend_Form_Element_File();
$file->setDestination('/var/www/project/public');
?>

vs
<?php
$file = new Zend_Form_Element_File();
$file->addFilter('Rename', array('target' => '/var/www/project/public'));
?>

Any solution to upload files so that it preserves original filename structure but checks for  existing file and appends _1.ext or _2.ext?

A: You need to query the name of the file after upload and then add the Rename filter then.  Eg:
if ($form->file->isUploaded()) {
    $fileinfo = $form->file->getFileInfo();
    $filename = $fileinfo['file']['name'];
    $extn = pathinfo($filename,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
    $uploadname = $this->_makeFilename($formData, $extn);
    $uploadfilepath = UPLOADED_FILES_PATH . '/' . $uploadname;
    $form->file->addFilter('Rename', $uploadfilepath);
    $receiveStatus = $form->file->receive();
}

A: After submitting the form you can inspect the $_FILES['file_element']['name'] check for existing files and then set the rename filter on your form element before calling the :
$form->getValues()/isValid() or $form->file_element->receive().

Why should this Canadian trial be important to you?
Canada may be where the United States and other Western countries are headed. It has institutionalized in its legal code the radical LGBT ideology that defies science and logic, and enforces it aggressively starting in their elementary schools and throughout all society. On this issue, Canada has become totalitarian, and everybody is affected.
There seems to be no endpoint to this agenda. In Canada it has gone from simply "prohibited" speech to compelled speech in a way that is beyond Orwellian. For example, The Tribunal instructed the participants to call a man "she" and use a woman's title ("Ms. Oger") or be subject to fines.
Bill Whatcott is tremendously important because he is willing to boldly stand up to this lunacy – and continuously tell the truth without hesitation. People like him are critical because the only way to be effective against this is to be direct and uncompromising. (That approach was what precipitated the fall of the Soviet Union, the collapse of segregation in the US, and so many similar seemingly unstoppable oppressive regimes.)
Here in the United States, things are on the cusp of getting much worse than they are now. The so-called Equality Act is pending in Congress. It would federalize the severe sexual-orientation and gender-identity laws. These laws are also continuing to get passed in states and locales. They are the starting point for further tyranny.
A large number of jurisdictions in the United States already have "human rights" tribunals, or commissions as they are called here. They are becoming more powerful, arrogant, and aggressive against pro-family and religious people.
The LGBT indoctrination in our schools is already becoming virtually unstoppable, whether embedded in the curriculum or promoted by LGBT student clubs (supported by the schools). Little children are being confused and drawn into unhealthy behaviors and "lifestyles." Transgender self-identifying students are creating chaos all over the country, demanding access to opposite-sex restrooms, locker rooms, and athletic teams. Any criticism of such curriculum would be illegal discrimination if we follow Canada's lead, and these programs would become forever embedded in our schools.
In other words, what is happening to Bill could soon be happening to you. But it's fearless and uncompromising people like Bill Whatcott who are the key to stopping this behemoth.
MassResistance is proud to have Bill Whatcott as our Canada MassResistance leader. We hope to nurture a hundred more like him!
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
Our successes depend on people like you.

Things got a heated at the end of Saturday night's game as the Lakers and Rockets' point guards, Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul, exchanged punches. While fighting is nothing new, it was clear to basketball fans that this one was more personal.
NBA analyst Shams Charania reported that someone from Rondo's family went after Chris Paul's wife, Jada, in a confrontation. The family member said some inappropriate comments to her after the fight, which pissed off Paul even more according to Rockets beat writer Jonathan Feigen.
Chris Paul was still so angry after the game, multiple individuals said, because a member of Rajon Rondo's family made "inappropriate" comments to Paul's wife, Jada, in the stands after the altercation.
The altercation came following the tense closing minutes. Rondo was coming to the defense of Brandon Ingram after he pushed reigning MVP James Harden in the back. Paul, who appeared to be wiping his face prior to swinging on Rondo, says the Lakers guard incited the altercation by spitting on him. However, Lonzo Ball, claims the altercation began because Paul touched Rondo's face. Regardless, the NBA is now investigating the incident and is expected to deal suspensions to both sides before Rockets-Clippers game on Sunday night.

Q: Understanding 'onLoginFinished' function on 'LoginButton' component of react native fbsdk Hi I'm trying to test react native facebook sdk for facebook login. Using below code I'm able to successfully give in my credentials and log in to app. My question is i'm not getting the alert message or console.log output. Even the debugger statement seems not working. Can someone help me to figure out how to correctly handle onLoginFinished event.

                          <View>

Mongolia Securing an Energy Alliance with Russia and China
Crossroads Asia | Economy | East Asia
The Power of Siberia 2 project involves Russia, Mongolia, and China.
By Bolor Lkhaajav for The Diplomat
Credit: Russia Presidential Press and Information Office
Mongolia, geopolitically and physically land-locked between two regional powers — Russia and China — is paving the way to secure an energy alliance. In March 2020, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee on proceeding to the pre-investment phase in the Power of Siberia 2 project which involves Russia, Mongolia, and China. This mega-project could be a game-changer in the supply of gas to northeast Asia, with the construction of "1,942 kilometers of gas trunk lines with 114 wells." While Russia's energy pivot to Asia includes Mongolia, the government of Mongolia has been proactive in this pursuit and has sealed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2019.
Russia's state-owned Gazprom is one of the leading gas producing companies in the world. According to Miller, Gazprom has an annual capacity of doubling its current production, which at present stands at 545 billion cubic meters of gas. The calculated annual capacity then will supply to Russian consumers and partners — Mongolia and China. Russia in 2020 planned for investment totaling 1.080 trillion rubles ($14 billion).
The cozying of Russia-China relations not only involves securing energy in northeast Asia, but also opening opportunities for Mongolia to join the energy club. Considering both Russia and China are already Mongolia's strategic partners, the Mongolian government is in a perfect position to pursue a proactive energy policy.
Mongolian Foreign Minister Tsogtbaatar Damdin said in an interview, "It took 30 years for Mongolia to be at the negotiation table on this matter. These efforts corroborate high-level visits, talks, and negotiations at a presidential, prime ministerial, foreign ministerial level. In order to build trust with both Russia and China, these steps were necessary and crucial." Additionally, he highlighted that "the Russia-China pipeline project has begun, and Mongolia should not miss the opportunity to be part of its two neighbor's initiation. Mutual trust and continuation of open dialogue and exchange of ideas between all three parties — Mongolia, Russia, and China are crucial at this point."
During Prime Minister Col. Khurelsukh Ukhnaa's state visit to Russia in December 2019, Mongolia and Russia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Mongolia's participation in the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline mega-project. During the joint session, Putin affirmed that "Russia has no political opposition on pursuing this mega-project."
In March 2020, Miller stated, "With the aforementioned resource base, our domestic gas supplies can fully satisfy the needs of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation. And as for the instruction to explore the possibilities for transiting gas to China across Mongolia via Power of Siberia 2, I can report that the number of supplies via this route may total up to 50 billion cubic meters per year. We are ready to continue this work accordingly."
In northeast Asia, Russia-China energy relations have already begun. In December 2019, the first pipeline built by Gazprom, as Nikkei Asian Review reported, "runs from reserves in eastern Siberia to the border region in northern China. Gas started flowing in a 2,200km portion of the link from the gas field north of Lake Baikal. The pipeline stretches 3,200 km, with shipment capacity reaching 38 billion cu. meters a year, or about 20% of China's annual liquefied natural gas imports."
In pursuit of this mega-project, the Mongolian government has been keen and active. A Mongolia-Russia task force has been established to share project related information. The second level of studies will involve Mongolia's participation which heavily involves gas pipeline routes.
Mongolia's participation in the Power of Siberia 2 project will make Mongolia a transit country in the Russia-China supply chain of gas in northeast Asia. Mongolia's foreign policy toward both Russia and China, bound by strategic partnerships, has proved to be useful. Some security analysts emphasize Mongolia's growing dependency on the neighbors for fuel and power as a national security threat as Russia supplies 92 percent of Mongolia's demand. In a counterargument, from foreign policy and geopolitical standpoint, Mongolia, by not participating in the "energy club" of its only neighbors, will damage its opportunities and capabilities immensely. Moreover, an important aspect of oil and gas cooperation within Russia-Mongolia-China trilateralism aims to expand geological surveys to further explore hydrocarbon fields in Mongolia.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Mongolia, in March, a meeting at the National Security Council (NSC) of Mongolia concluded a working group headed by Deputy Minister Enkhtuvshin U. will be set up under the NSC. The next step of the trilateral agreement will involve the legal environment along with construction, architectural, and engineering planning. China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) will be Mongolia's main liaison to this project. If implemented without any hurdles, the Power of Siberia 2 project will diversify Mongolia's energy sector, reinvigorate its — much slow downed — foreign direct investment sectors, and create up to 4,000 jobs.
Bolor Lkhaajav received an M.A. in Asia-Pacific Studies from the University of San Francisco. She is currently writing a book on the international affairs of Mongolia. Bolor is Co-host of 77 Podcast based out of Washington DC.

5 Do's to Get Recruited for College Soccer
Unless you play for a top ten ECNL or DA team, game film is the best way to get the foot in the door at your dream school.
by Tim Bennett
A veteran of the college and youth soccer ranks. 24 years at the Division I level as a player, assistant coach, associate head coach, and Head Coach in such conferences as the Big 12, SEC, PAC 12 and the Big East. Served as an ECNL staff coach, US Soccer Development Academy Director and an Executive Director at the club level.
You have a dream school (or dream schools) you'd love to play for in college; let's call that dream school College T. Unless your dream school has a relationship with your club or coach, or you play for a top ten nationally recognized ECNL or DA team, your game film is the only way that you'll get your foot in the door.
There may be up to ten roster spots for the coach or recruiter at College T (let's call her Coach Stacy) to fill for your year. Coach Stacy has a limited budget and limited time, and she's unlikely to offer you a scholarship without seeing you play in person at least once. That means your communication with Stacy, and especially your video footage, needs to be exciting enough for Stacy to commit the resources to investigate you further and make a trip to see you play.
There are a lot of do's when it comes to recruiting video, so let's go through them (there are also some don'ts, but you can read those later).
The 5 Do's:
1. Moments with Context
Coach is going to wonder if the goal in your first moment is from a match where you blew the team out 10-0, or you scored the winning goal in a 4-3 nailbiter. Provide context to the recruiter, including who you played, when the game was, and the score. If you're using Trace iD, all of this comes preloaded as part of your moments, so focus on choosing the right moments.
2. Wide Variety of Skills
The recruiter will give you one minute to impress, and you want to make her evaluation as easy as possible. Put your best moments first, and group them by type (pass, off ball, attack, etc..). If you're an attacker, that means a few goals, followed by a few moments of your positioning in space, then a few counter-attacks, and so on. Here are some types of moments you should be showcasing based on your position.
3. Elevated, Quality Video with a Player Spotlight
A recruiter doesn't have a lot of time. You want to make recruiting you as easy on their eyes as possible. That means elevated footage of the game. Believe it or not, college coaches want the video to zoom out. They'd like to watch the play develop, how you react in space, and how you communicate with your teammates. The view should show between ¼ and ½ of the field.
Within the first three seconds of the moment, you should have a visual cue, make it obvious who you are on the field. If you're using Trace, a spotlight is automatically added to make it visible who you are in the moment.
All of your Trace moments on Trace iD will also come with Radar, which is essential for college coaches–giving them another way to see how you play off of other players and keep track of everyone on the field. Radar allows them to do this.
Subscribe for the latest Academy lessons
We won't bother you often, but when we do it will be with our best Trace lessons.
4. Full Game Sample
About a minute in, if the recruiter is intrigued, she'll want to watch you uninterrupted for 10 minutes. Make sure that you not only send a highlight video but a 10-minute sample of a full game. They want to see both. Don't be afraid if the full game has some mistakes; the coach knows you're human; she wants to see how you recover and how those mistakes affect your emotional state.
With Trace iD the recruiter can jump to the moment they're watching in the full game with a single click. We want to make it easy for a recruiter to find all the information they need so they can focus on your abilities as a player and student instead of fumbling around with different links and technology.
5. Academic Info
You may be the best player in the world, but if you're looking to play as a college athlete at a school with strict academic requirements, it's not going to happen with a low GPA. Put your SAT, ACT, GPA, and graduation year upfront in your initial email. If you're using Trace iD, put all of this info in the About section of your iD.

My dog is old (turned 14 last December), and had started to go off his food. As soon as he smelled this, he started gulping it down. We mix it in with his other food and now he eats really well!
I was really surprised at how much this helped with my eczema and very dry sore skin, particularly on my hands. It absorbs really well and I only needed to use a small amount. It worked a lot better than other creams.
For men, this is a difficult issue. We can't pop to the hairdressers and have our 'roots' done, and I have been gradually going grey over the past 2 years. This product does it with no effort.

Michael Alec Rose is a composer of symphonic, chamber, piano, vocal, wind ensemble, ballet, and theater music. His music has been performed widely in the United States, as well as in Europe and South America. With renowned violinist Peter Sheppard Skaerved, he co-directed six rounds of an International Exchange Program between Vanderbilt and the Royal Academy of Music, London (2005-2016), culminating in the premiere of Il Ritorno: Perambulation for Solo Violin, sponsored by the Dartmoor National Park Authority and the Parish Church of St. Andrew, Moretonhampstead (June, 2016). This piece appears on a CD of works for solo violin and violin-viola duo, released last November on the Métier label.
A retrospective of Rose's song cycles and solo piano music ("News of the Universe") was presented at the National Opera Center in New York in 2015. In October 2017, Rose's Sixth Quartet (Rousseaux) and Fourth Viola Sonata (Canticle) were premiered by the Blair String Quartet, and by violist Kathryn Plummer and pianist Craig Nies. A solo piano suite, Musica senza rumore, inspired by paintings in the Doria Pamphilj Gallery in Rome, will be premiered at the gallery this spring, under the auspices of the Rome Chamber Music Festival. Another new piece inspired by artworks is Rose's Three Interventions, commissioned by Austin Camerata for their collaboration with the Blanton Museum of Art (a May 2018 premiere). On academic leave last fall, Rose completed his music-theatre version of Sylvia Townsend Warner's novel Lolly Willowes for a group of wonderful singers and players in Houston, who will premiere the show this spring.

The Impact of the Bible #3: In God We Trust
by Rabbi Ken Spiro
The heavily Bible-influenced Puritans bring the Word to the New World.
Now that we have seen the powerful religious, moral and political influence that the Bible had on Europe, it's time to travel across the Atlantic to America for the fascinating conclusion to our story.
Just as the United States occupies a singular position in history as the only country founded as a democracy, it also has a unique status as the country most-influenced by the Bible in history.
Many of the earliest colonists who settled on the north-east coast of America in early 17th century were Protestant refugees escaping religious persecutions in Europe. The first were the so-called "Pilgrims" -- Protestant-British settlers who founded the colony on Plymouth Rock in New England. They were followed by many thousands who arrived in the New World in subsequent years.
Well into the 18th century, America continued to be not only the land of opportunity for many people seeking a better life, but also the land of religious tolerance.
The majority of the earliest settlers were Puritans from England. Like their cousins back home, these American Puritans strongly identified with both the historical traditions and customs of the ancient Hebrews of the Old Testament. They viewed their emigration from England as a virtual re-enactment of the Jewish exodus from Egypt: England was Egypt, the king was Pharaoh, the Atlantic Ocean their Red Sea, America was the Land of Israel, and the Indians were the ancient Canaanites. They were the new Israelites, entering into a new covenant with God in a new Promised Land. (1)
Most of the early legislation of the colonies of New England was determined by Scripture.
These settlers found themselves in a New World which had no existing laws or government. Their first task, therefore, was to create a legal framework for their communities and the first place they looked for guidance was the Hebrew Bible. Thus most of the early legislation of the colonies of New England was determined by Scripture. The most extreme example was the Connecticut Code of 1650 which created a form of fundamentalist government based almost entirely on Mosaic law using numerous citations from the Bible. The same held true for the code of New Haven and many other colonies. (2)
At the first assembly of New Haven in 1639, John Davenport clearly declared the primacy of the Bible as the legal and moral foundation of the colony:
"Scriptures do hold forth a perfect rule for the direction and government of all men in all duties which they are to perform to God and men as well as in the government of families and commonwealth as in matters of the church ... the Word of God shall be the only rule to be attended unto in organizing the affairs of government in this plantation." (3)
Puritan obsession with the Bible led them to try and incorporate many aspects of the Jewish commandments into their lifestyle based on their literal interpretation of Hebraic laws (which did not always agree with the Jewish interpretation nor with Jewish practice). One of the most significant was the concept of the Sabbath as a day of rest and meditation. Puritan Sabbath observance began at sundown and no work of any kind, even household chores, was allowed for the next 24-hours. Sabbath observance was strictly monitored by local officials.
Thanksgiving which has evolved into a national day of feasting and celebration was initially conceived by the Pilgrims, in 1621, as day similar to the Jewish Day of Atonement -- Yom Kippur, a day of fasting, introspection and prayer.
This Puritan focus on the Bible and individual responsibility had an even more significant impact on literacy in the American colonies than in England. All towns in New England with a minimum of 50 households were required by law to establish schools and appoint teachers. Universities were established and many printing presses were imported. This subject we shall examine in the next installment.

Are you looking for something different for your holiday programming? Look no further!
Holidelic was conceived of as a celebration of the true holiday spirit of joy and giving, and since its inception in 2002, performances have featured a range of artists from Living Colour's Vernon Reid, The B-52's Fred Schneider, SNL's Shawn Pelton and hip hop artist John Forte to pop chanteuse Lucy Woodward, dancing trombonist Jonathan Arons, and the legendary Celeste Holm. Holidelic performances outside of the metro New York region will feature an array of local celebrities and talent, making each performance a unique event.
This is holiday spirit like you've never seen it before! Holidelic explores the holidays, modern culture and mild family dysfunction in a playful, loving, humorous performance that is hardly traditional but a whole lot of fun! Celebrating uniqueness and diversity with the power of the groove as his common denominator, Everett Bradley's fresh, wide-eyed look at the holiday season has rejuvenated thousands of bah-humbug spirits. As the standard holiday fare has passed from one generation to the next like a stale fruitcake, it has lost a lot of relevance for many… and as the ubiquitous, canned holiday music oozes from nearly every storefront from late November's Black Friday celebration of commercialism 'til Christmas Day, it is harder and harder to get people enthusiastic for yet another round of Jingle Bells, White Christmas and The Little Drummer Boy. People want to celebrate! People want holiday cheer! People want to shake their booties! Holidelic is the guaranteed antidote to the sameness of old school holiday programming– an opportunity for parents and kids of all ages to cut loose to an infectious groove, sing and laugh together in celebration.


In 2010, the world's buildings accounted for 34% of global final energy use and 24% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Global final energy use in buildings, and related emissions, could double or even triple by 2050. This briefing explores the challenges and opportunities climate change poses to the building sector.

Q: Android - Activity finish() results black screen I have an AlertActivity and an Activity. When a broadcast is received, both activities needs to finish. But the below code results Black screen if AlertActivity is on top of Activity.
Below is the code in Activity:
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getAction().equals("BROADCAST_INTENT")){
           if(alertActvity != null)
               alertActivity.finish();
           finish();
    }
}

And code in AlertActivity:
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getAction().equals("BROADCAST_INTENT"))
           finish();
    }
}

First, Activity's onStop() is getting called before AlertActivity's onStop() is called which results in Black screen, even AlertActivity's finish() called before Activity's finish().
Please help me in this regard.

A: Finally, I found a solution for this:
Finishing an Activity with a delay of 1 second which really works. By that time, AlertActivity finishes and black screen cannot be displayed.
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
      @Override
          public void run() {
              finish();
          }
}, 1000);

A: as in both AlertActivity and Activity, you are checking for same action "BROADCAST_INTENT", I assume you registered both receiver in their own class.
If you did so, then actually you have two broadcast receiver waiting for same event. when this event occurs, both of your receiver are going to get it.
So in your AlertActivity is getting finished twice.

A: I think @Amit K. Saha, is right, your AlertActivity may be finishing twice
Solution :
If your application is running >= API 16 then you can use finishAffinity() method :

Finish this activity as well as all activities immediately below it in the current task that have the same affinity. This is typically used when an application can be launched on to another task (such as from an ACTION_VIEW of a content type it understands) and the user has used the up navigation to switch out of the current task and in to its own task. In this case, if the user has navigated down into any other activities of the second application, all of those should be removed from the original task as part of the task switch.
Note that this finish does not allow you to deliver results to the
  previous activity, and an exception will be thrown if you are trying
  to do so.

You can call finishAffinity() from AlertActivity because it is on top of Activity. This will finish AlertActivity as well as Activity

A: My transparent Activity finish results black screen, after a search, i find it is caused by activity switching animation in Android 4.4. But above android 5.1 the phenomenon does not show up.
So I add the below code:
@Override
public void finish() {
    super.finish();
    overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
}

The black screen after finish is gone.
I think this may be helpful.

A: try this
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    if(intent.getAction().equals("BROADCAST_INTENT"))
       context.finish();
    }
}
