Q: What is happening with voltage on capacitor? Capacitor is fully charged and switch is closed. What is the value of voltage on capacitor (\$U_c\$)?

*

*Example

\$U_c=0\textrm{ V}\$. I understand this on this way: capacitor is fully charged, and there is no current. So \$U=R\cdot I\$ is giving us always \$0\$ because \$I=0\$.
Voltage on \$R1\$ is \$ U1=R1\cdot I\$.

*Example

\$U_c=R1\cdot I1\$.
Voltage on \$R1\$ is \$U1=R1\cdot I1\$.
I am confused now. Why now voltage on capacitor is not 0 either, if capacitor is fully charged(and current is 0).

*

*What is the difference between these two circuits?

*Can someone explain me this a simple as possible?

A:
Capacitor is fully charged and switch is closed

I'm not sure what you mean be this.  Before the switch is closed, there is no path for current through the capacitor and thus, the voltage on the capacitor must be specified as part of the problem, i.e., the voltage across the capacitor, just before the switch is closed, is an initial condition that must be specified.  Stating that the capacitor is fully charged is not meaningful here without further context.
It is true that if the initial voltage on the capacitor is \$v_C(0) = IR_1\$, then the capacitor voltage will remain unchanged since, in that case, there will be no current through \$R_2\$ to change the voltage across the capacitor.  Put another way, the initial capacitor voltage equals the DC steady state capacitor voltage for the circuit with the switch closed.
If this is what you mean by 'fully charged', then the voltage across the capacitor is constant and equal to \$IR_1\$ and not \$0\mathrm{V}\$.
However, if the initial voltage is \$v_C(0) = 0\mathrm{V}\$, the capacitor is, by definition, uncharged and thus, after the switch is closed, will charge towards its steady state value of \$IR_1\$ with time constant \$\tau = (R_1 + R_2)C\$

Often referred to as miraculous, life as we know depends not upon miracles but on a series of highly orchestrated and regulated biochemical processes collectively known as the cell cycle. It is through these series of highly monitored stages that cells are able to grow, divide, and accurately transmit their genetic blueprint into their progeny. An underlying process of the cell cycle, termed the chromosome cycle, begins with accurate replication of the genome, followed by condensation of the newly synthesized nucleic acid into a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin, and ultimately the proper segregation of the resulting sister chromatids into the daughter cells. The chromosome cycle is of utmost importance for the maintenance of genome function and integrity, as well as preservation of cellular identity. Errors during any stage of these key processes can manifest as genetic diseases, cancers, developmental abnormalities, or death. Of the many proteins involved in these essential processes, mini-chromosomal maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is a protein that has recently received increased attention due to evidence suggesting that it functions in multiple steps of the chromosome cycle. Since its discovery in S. cerevisiae Mcm10 has been suggested to play a role in the activation and elongation phases of DNA replication, has been shown to function in chromatin dynamics, and recently has been demonstrated to interact with multiple members of common DNA damage repair pathways. Previous analyses in our lab utilizing two mutant alleles in D. melanogaster validated that Mcm10 functions in both DNA replication and the formation of chromatin states. To further investigate the essential nature of this conserved eukaryotic replication factor in a multicellular system, we have established a collection of 20 mutant alleles in Drosophila. Analysis of these alleles indicated that Mcm10 is required for early embryogenesis and oogenesis; however, it is dispensable for adult viability. Our analyses also suggest that the expanded C-terminal domain present in D. melanogaster is involved in the formation of heterochromatin and chromosome condensation, further validating a role for this protein in maintaining genomic stability. Taken together the results of this study bring into question the essential nature of Mcm10 in all cell types, and demonstrate the importance of studying cell biology in multicellular systems. Furthermore, these results demonstrate the utility of our mutant collection to further investigate the tissue specific functions of Mcm10 in replication and chromatin dynamics.

'Star Trek 2' Entitled "Star Trek Into Darkness"
September 08, 2012Author: webmissComments Off on 'Star Trek 2' Entitled "Star Trek Into Darkness"
Today, September 8th, marks the 46th anniversary of Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek," but ComingSoon.net is celebrating a little early with a juicy rumor to share. We've been been told that the 2013 J.J. Abrams sequel has chosen a title and will hit theaters as Star Trek Into Darkness.
Although we have not yet been able to officially confirm said title, the domain names www.startrekintodarkness.com and www.startrekintodarknessmovie were both registered yesterday through MarkMonitor, an anonymous domain registry service that just so happens to have been utilized by Paramount Pictures for recent URLs like their official G.I. Joe: Retaliation site.
We'll bring you confirmation as soon as it's available, but what is certain is that the film will star Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller with a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Damon Lindelof and that it will hit theaters on May 17, 2013 in 2D, 3D theaters and IMAX 3D versions.

What Anton Doesn't Know About "Star Trek 2"
November 13, 2011Author: Rachel1 Comment
Anton Yelchin's had a pretty darned good year at the movies — good notices in The Beaver, funnier reviews for Fright Night and better still for his new film, Like Crazy, a bittersweet long distance romance, largely improvised, with co-star Felicity Jones.
None of the movies have been big box office, but we wondered if he even noticed that.
"I try to stay away from reviews and box office news because no matter what your appraisal of your work is – I have moments where I've doubted whether I did a good job, and people liked it, and moments where I was satisfied that people didn't respond to at all.
"You can't go into the world of rottentomatoes. For every review that makes you feel good, there's another one to make you feel lousy. You're setting yourself up to be disappointed either way. My psyche isn't strong enough to withstand that sort of outside critique. I take criticism at work, but one it's done and there's nothing you can change about it, why put yourself through it?"
The only way for the 22 year old Anton to top this year would be to shoot a certified blockbuster in 2012. Which he is. He's back in the role of Chekhov in the second J.J.
Abrams Star Trek movie.
"I'm stoked. They always keep us in the dark, sorta till the last minute. What's happening, who'll be in it and what the film will be like. It's good to know that we're making it and that J.J.'s directing it, is all I can say.
I have no idea what Benicio del Toro is playing. I read online, like everybody else, that he's been having conversations with J.J. No idea what level that's at. J.J. won't even tell him what role it would be. That's J.J.!
"I would be honored to be on the same set with Benicio del Toro in ANY role. If that works out, it'll be great."
Yelchin doesn't "remember" his own Russian accent (He was born in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, in the former USSR). The one he has to recall for the movie comes from TV.
"I lost my accent years ago. My accent is just for the movies. Walter Koenig's accent was so fun and wonderful to fool around with. It's like the original series itself. It's got this great camp quality to it. I embrace that.
"I love the original series. I didn't know much about it until we did the first film, and I did so much research on it that I get excited by the idea of going back into all of that, looking at my notes on how to play Chekhov, watching his scenes again in the movies and the series.
"I'm honored to be able to pay tribute to Walter with these movies."

Benicio Del Toro Joining "Star Trek" Sequel?
November 04, 2011Author: RachelComments Off on Benicio Del Toro Joining "Star Trek" Sequel?
The J.J. Abrams untitled Star Trek sequel may have found its villain. Variety reports that, while nothing is yet official, Benicio Del Toro is expected to be offered the role imminently.
Famous for his secrecy, Abrams has reportedly not yet revealed even to the actor what the role will be, though production is expected to begin this January.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Anton Yelchin are expected to all reprise their roles as members of the Enterprise crew with Abrams back in the director's chair and a script again from Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. (Source_

Rohini Court Shootout Chargesheet Reveals How Rival Gang Executed Plan To Kill Gangster Gogi
From the execution of the plan to kill gangster Jitender Gogi from jail, roping in a law graduate with the know-how of working of courts, conducting recce of the security arrangements, a voluminous charge sheet filed in the Rohini courtroom shootout case revealed how the murder was carefully planned and carried out.
Two assailants dressed as lawyers opened fire at gangster Jitender Gogi inside the courtroom where an attempt to murder case was being heard against him on September 24. The duo, who were from a rival gang, was then killed in a swift police counter-fire.
The 122-page-long chargesheet, filed by the Delhi Police against seven accused including two dead assailants, revealed that the plan to kill Gogi allegedly began in August 2021 and various people were roped in to execute it.
The police have named Sunil Baliyan alias Tillu, Naveen Dabas alias Balli, Umang Yadav, Vinay Yadav, Ashish Kumar as accused in the case. Abated charge sheet has also been filed against deceased assailants Rahul and Jaideep.
In the chargesheet filed on December 17, the Delhi Police stated that Gogi was killed by deceased assailants under a "pre-planned deep-rooted criminal conspiracy" hatched by accused Tillu from Mandoli Jail and his associates.
According to the Final Report, Tillu, who is the main conspirator in the case, executed the alleged murder plan over WhatsApp calls and saw the news of Gogi's death on a TV installed in the prison cell.
As per a disclosure statement of Tillu, he planned to kill Gogi due to an old rivalry. He said that Gogi had killed one of his old friends and many gang members.
Due to growing enmity, he decided to kill Gogi. In the end of August 2021, after second phase of Covid-19, hybrid system of hearing in courts had started and accused persons started getting produced in courts. He hatched a plan to kill Gogi in court, Tillu stated during the police interrogation.
Tillu then came in touch with co-accused Umang Yadav through an undertrial prisoner lodged in Rohini jail. Yadav had studied LLB and was acquainted with the practice of Courts and Advocates. Tillu asked Yadav to help him kill Gogi, to which he had agreed, as per the disclosure.
Two shooters Rahul and Jaideep were also roped in. Tillu asked them to go to Panipat Court or Rohini Court dressed as Advocates and kill Gogi whenever he is produced from the Judicial Custody.
After killing Gogi inside Court, both Rahul and Jaideep would surrender before the Judge in the Court, the chargesheet stated quoting Tillu's disclosure statement.
Both the assailants then met Yadav in August 2021 and started preparations. Yadav briefed them about the working of the Court and the practice of Advocates. Jaideep and Umang also arranged the lawyer's attire.
The disclosure statement further read that when he came to know that Gogi would be produced in Panipat Court on September 13, he sent Umang and Jaideep to Panipat Court to recce the court and assess the security of Gogi. They informed that Gogi was produced in Court under high security.
On being informed about Gogi's production before the Rohini Court on September 24, Tillu directed Yadav, Rahul, and Jaideep to go to Murthal to collect firearms from one of his associates. On the morning of the shootout, he was in regular touch with the trio.
Yadav had also joined his cousin brother Vinay to help them in the execution of plan. Thereafter, they went to Rohini Court, where his absconding associate Naveen Dabas @ Bhanja also reached with a shooter, who looked like a 'Nepali'. However, he sent the boy away as his appearance as an Advocate was not proper, the statement further read.
Tillu further claimed that he received a call at 1:30 PM from one of his contacts informing him that Gogi was shot in Rohini Court.
He became very happy with the news. However, shortly he came to know from TV installed in their cell that both assailants, who had fired upon Gogi were shot dead in Court, he became very sad and he immediately gave his mobile phone and dongle to his jail inmate Ashish Kumar and asked him to destroy the mobile and dongle, the statement added.
Meanwhile, Umang Yadav, in his disclosure statement, said that he took Rahul and Jaideep to the Rohini Court, and before reaching there, they changed into lawyer's attire at a mall. He along with one Nepali came out of Court in a car, while Rahul and Jagga remained in Court to execute the plan.
Thereafter, he came to know on Facebook that Gogi was killed and both shooters shot dead by the police. He became afraid and called Tillu's number but his phone was switched off, Yadav said in the statement to the police.
After the shoot-out, when Yadav removed the DVR of CCTV cameras fitted inside his house. He disclosed that he had hidden the DVR inside the chimney in his kitchen, the police said.
Considering the gravity of the incident of the shootout, various operational teams of Delhi Police were activated by the supervisory officers to develop intelligence behind the conspiracy to kill Gogi inside the courtroom, the police stated in the chargesheet.
The incident had happened inside Courtroom Number 207 presided by Additional Sessions Judge Gagandeep Singh.
The police filed the final report for offences under sections 302 (murder), 201 (destruction of evidence), 353 (assault), 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions), 120B (conspiracy) of IPC, and various sections under the Arms Act.

And if the test ride is successful, we'll assume the radiator guard did it's job.
Any excuse for taking a ride is a good reason for me!
Short ride confirmed the install was fine, but as we all know one data point is not reliable. So I extended the ride for 2 hours to confirm the initial findings.
Now enjoying Clemson and Notre Dame.
I put that guard on a few months ago and I am very happy with it.
And I am looking forward to the rematch next week, Roll Tide!

Nedarim - Chapter 2
Translated by Eliyahu Touger

Both English Hebrew
[The same laws apply] whether one took the vow on his own [volition] or another person states a vow for him and he answers Amen or says something which like Amen implies that he accepts the matter.1
אחד הנודר מפי עצמו או שהדירו חבירו ואמר אמן או דבר שענינו כענין אמן שהוא קבלת דברים:
A person who takes an oath is not forbidden [to partake of] the entity which he forbade to himself until he makes a verbal statement to that effect2 and his statements must match his intent, as we explained with regard to oaths.3
If, by contrast, one intended to take a nazirite vow and instead, vowed to bring a sacrifice, [intended to vow to bring] a sacrifice and instead, took a nazirite [vow], [intended to take] an oath and instead, [took] a vow, [intended to take] a vow and instead, [took] an oath, intended to say "figs" and instead, said "grapes," both are permitted to him.4 There is no vow.
ואין הנודר נאסר בדבר שאסר על עצמו עד שיוציא בשפתיו ויהיה פיו ולבו שוין כמו שבארנו בשבועות אבל המתכוין לנדור בנזיר ונדר בקרבן בקרבן ונדר בנזיר בשבועה ונדר או שנתכוון לנדור ונשבע או שנתכוון לומר תאנים ואמר ענבים הרי זה מותר בשניהם ואין כאן נדר:
When a person takes a vow dependent on the intent of others, it is like he took an oath dependent on the intent of others.5 Similarly, if one takes a vow and retracts6 immediately thereafter or someone rebuked him immediately thereafter and he accepted their statement, he is permitted [to use the article mentioned].7 The laws applying to all these matters with regard to vows are the same as those applying to oaths.8
הנודר על דעת אחרים הרי זה כנשבע על דעת אחרים וכן הנודר וחזר בו בתוך כדי דבור או שמיחו בו בתוך כדי דבור וקבל הרי זה מותר ודין כל אלו הדברים בנדרים כדינן בשבועות:
[The following laws apply when] a person issued a stipulation before he made a vow, saying: "I am retracting from any vow that I will take from now until ten years in the future," "They are nullified," or other similar statements, and then took a vow: If he remembered the stipulation at the time he made the vow, the vow is effective, for by taking the vow, he nullified the stipulation.9 If, however, he did not remember the stipulation until after he made the vow, the vow is nullified10 even if [immediately after taking the vow], he brought the stipulation to mind and maintained it. Although he did not verbalize his retraction at the time [he made the vow], the retraction preceded the vow and he verbalized it beforehand.11 There is an authority who rules stringently and says that he must remember the stipulation immediately thereafter taking the vow.12
מי שהתנה קודם שידור ואמר כל נדר שאדור מכאן ועד עשר שנים הריני חוזר בהן או הרי הן בטלים וכיוצא בדברים אלו ואחר כך נדר אם היה זוכר התנאי בשעה שנדר הרי נדרו קיים שהרי בטל התנאי בנדר זה ואם לא זכר התנאי אלא אחר שנדר אף על פי שקבל התנאי בלבו וקיימו הרי הנדר בטל ואע"פ שלא הוציא עתה החזרה בפיו כבר הקדים החזרה לנדר והוציאה בפיו מקודם ויש שמורה להחמיר ואומר והוא שיזכור התנאי אחר שנדר בתוך כדי דבור:
[The following rules apply when] one made a stipulation [similar to that mentioned above]13 for a year or for ten years and afterwards took a vow, remembering at the time that he took the vow that he had made a stipulation, but forgetting the subject of that stipulation or what it involved. If [when taking the vow], he said:14 "I am acting according to my original intention,"15 his vow is not effective, for he has nullified it. If he does not make such a statement, he has nullified the stipulation and upheld the vow, for, at the time he took the vow, he remembered that there was a stipulation and, nevertheless, took the vow.16
מי שהקדים את התנאי לשנה או לעשר ואח"כ נדר ונזכר בשעה שנדר שיש לו תנאי ושכח על אי זה דבר התנה וכיצד היה התנאי אם אמר על דעת ראשונה אני עושה אין נדרו נדר שהרי בטלו ואם לא אמר על דעת ראשונה אני עושה כבר בטל התנאי וקיים הנדר שהרי זכר בשעת הנדר שיש שם תנאי ואע"פ כן נדר:
There are some of the Geonim who maintain that all of these statements are applicable only with regard to vows and not to oaths,17 but there is an authority who maintains that the laws pertaining to vows and oaths are the same in this regard. Thus one may issue a stipulation nullifying an oath [beforehand] in the same manner as was stated with regard to vows.18
יש מהגאונים שאומרים אין כל אלו הדברים נוהגין אלא בנדרים בלבד לא בשבועות ויש מי שמורה שדין הנדרים והשבועות בעניינות אלו אחד הם וכי יש לו להקדים תנאי לשבועתו כדרך שאמרו בנדרים:
[When a person takes] a vow whose object is not clear,19 we rule stringently.20 If he interprets them, there is room for both leniency and stringency.
What does this imply? If one says: "Let this produce be considered as salted meat and as wine poured as a libation for me," we ask him what his intent was. If he explained himself, saying "My intent was that salted meat refers to sacrificial meat21 and wine poured as a libation refers to libations poured on the Temple altar," he is forbidden [to partake of the produce].22 If, however, he says: "My intent was a sacrifice offered to a false deity23 and wine poured as a libation to it," he is permitted.24 If he took the vow without a specific intent, he is forbidden.
סתם נדרים להחמיר ופירושן יש בו להקל ולהחמיר כיצד האומר הרי הפירות האלו עלי כבשר מליח וכיין נסך אומרין לו ומה היה בלבך אם פירש ואמר כבשר מליח של קרבן וכיין שנתנסך על המזבח היה בלבי הרי זה אסור ואם אמר לא היה בלבי אלא תקרובת עכו"ם ויין שנתנסך לה הרי זה מותר ואם נדר סתם הרי זה אסור:
Similar principles apply when one says: "This produce is considered as cherem (a dedication offering) for me." If [his intent was] a dedication offering for the upkeep of the Temple, he is forbidden [to partake of the produce].25 If [his intent] was a dedication offering for the priests, he is permitted, because [these offerings] become [the priests'] personal possessions and are not forbidden [to others].26 If [he took the vow] without a specific intent, he is forbidden.
וכן האומר הרי הפירות האלו עלי חרם אם כחרם של בדק הבית אסור ואם כחרמי הכהנים מותר מפני שהן ממון שלהם ואין בה אסור ואם סתם אסור:
[If he states:] "May they be considered like the tithes for me," [we investigate his intent. If his intent was] the tithe taken from animals, [it becomes] forbidden, because these are sacrifices that he consecrates through his actions, as we explained.27 [If his intent was] the tithe taken from grain, it is permitted.28 If [he took the vow] without a specific intent, he is forbidden.
הרי הן עלי כמעשר אם כמעשר בהמה אסור מפני שהוא קרבן שהקדישו בידו כמו שבארנו ואם כמעשר דגן מותר ואם סתם אסור:
[If he states:] "May they be considered like terumah for me," [we investigate his intent. If his intent was] the money donated for the sacrificial offerings,29 it is forbidden. If his intent was terumah [separated from] the grain heap, it is permitted.30 If [he took the vow] without a specific intent, he is forbidden. Similar laws apply in all analogous situations.
הרי הן עלי כתרומה אם לתרומת הלשכה נתכוון הרי זה אסור ואם לתרומת הגורן נתכוון מותר ואם סתם אסור וכן כל כיוצא בזה:
When does the above31 apply? In a place where the terms used have these two possible meanings. In a place where the term cherem without any further definition is used only to refer to the dedication offerings for the upkeep of the Temple,32 if he says: "[This produce is considered] as cherem for me," he is forbidden [to partake of the produce].33 Similarly, if their custom was to use the term cherem without any further definition to refer only to dedication offerings given the priests, he is permitted. Similar concepts apply in all analogous situations, for with regard to vows, we follow the connotations understood by the people in that place in that era.34
יא
במה דברים אמורים במקום שמשמע כל אחד מאלו שם שני ענינות אבל מקום שדרכן שאין קוראים חרם סתם אלא לחרמי בדק הבית בלבד ואמר שם הרי הן עלי חרם הרי זה אסור וכן אם היה דרכן שאין קוראים חרם סתם אלא לחרמי כהנים הרי זה מותר וכן כל כיוצא בזה שאין הולכין בנדרים אלא אחר לשון אנשי אותו מקום באותו זמן:
[The ensuing rules apply] in all situations analogous to those exemplified: i.e., situations when a person takes a vow which appears to everyone to involve a prohibition, but he says: "My intent was for this and this specific instance,"35 for example, he takes a vow based on a cherem,36but [afterwards] said: "My intent was a sea cherem, i.e., a fishing net,"37 he took a vow based on an offering, but said: "My intent was an offering brought to the king," He told a colleague: "Myself is like a sacrifice for you," and then explained: "My intent was only to forbid him from [benefiting from] a bone38that I set aside so that I could take a vow as a lark," he took a vow that his wife could not benefit from him and then explained that his intent was his first wife whom he had divorced.
[In all the above situations,] if the person who took the vow was a Torah scholar, he is permitted and he need not ask a sage [for the vow to be released].39 If the one who took the vow is a common person, we make it appear to him that it is a vow, yet we give him an opportunity to ask for its release from another vantage point and then release the vow.40 Whether he is a Torah scholar or a common person, we rebuke him and teach him not to conduct himself in this manner with regard to vows and not to take vows as a lark or a caper.
יב
הנודר בחרם ואמר לא היה בלבי אלא חרמו של ים שהיא המכמורת נדר בקרבן ואמר לא היה בלבי אלא בקרבנות מלכים אמר לחבירו הרי עצמי עליך קרבן ואמר לא היה בלבי אלא לאסרו בעצם שהנחתי לי להיות נודר בו דרך שחוק נדר שלא תהנה לו אשתו ואמר לא היה בלבי אלא אשתי ראשונה שגירשתיה וכן כל כיוצא באלו הדברים שמשמען לכל העם איסור והוא אומר לא נתכוונתי אלא לכך ולכך אם היה הנודר תלמיד חכם הרי זה מותר ואין צריך שאלה לחכם ואם היה עם הארץ מראין בעיניו שזה נדר ושהוא אסור ופותחים לו פתח ממקום אחר ומתירין לו ובין שהיה תלמיד חכם או עם הארץ גוערין בהן ומלמדין אותן שלא ינהגו מנהג זה בנדרים ולא יהיו נודרין דרך שחוק והתול:
Similarly, when a person tells his wife: "You are considered as my mother to me," or he says: "Let this produce be considered as pig meat for me," the vow is not effective, as we explained.41 If the person who took the vow was a Torah scholar, he is permitted and he need not ask a sage [for the vow to be released].42 If the one who took the vow is a common person, he must ask a sage [for the vow to be released]. We make it appear to him that his wife is forbidden to him and that the produce is forbidden,43 but we give him an opportunity to ask for its release from another vantage point and then release the vow in order that people not act frivolously with regard to vows.44
יג
וכן האומר לאשתו הרי את עלי כאמי או האומר פירות אלו עלי כבשר חזיר שאין כאן נדר כמו שבארנו אם היה האומר תלמיד חכם אינו צריך שאלה לחכם ואם היה עם הארץ צריך שאלה לחכם ומראין בעיניו שאשתו אסורה ושאותן הפירות אסורין ופותחין לו פתח ממקום אחר ומתירין לו נדרו כדי שלא ינהגו קלות ראש בנדרים:
Although declaring property ownerless is not a vow,45 it resembles a vow, for the person is forbidden to retract.
What is meant by declaring property ownerless? A person says: "This property is free for everyone"46 to acquire. It applies to both movable property and landed property.
What is the law [applying to property] declared ownerless? Whoever comes first and acquires it,47 becomes the owner. He acquires it as his own and it becomes his. Even the person who declared the property ownerless has the same rights as others with regard to it. If he comes first and acquires it, it becomes his.48
ההפקר אף על פי שאינו נדר הרי הוא כמו נדר שאסור לו לחזור בו ומה הוא ההפקר הוא שיאמר אדם נכסים אלו הפקר לכל בין במטלטלין בין בקרקעות וכיצד דין ההפקר כל הקודם וזכה בו קנהו לעצמו ונעשה שלו ואפילו זה שהפקיר דינו בו כדין כל אדם אם קדם וזכה בו קנהו:
When a person declares his property ownerless [so that it can be acquired by] the poor, but not by the rich, it is not ownerless.49 He must declare it ownerless for everyone like the produce of the Sabbatical year.
When a person declares his servants ownerless, those past majority acquire themselves.50 With regard to those below majority, whoever comes first and takes hold of them acquires them as is the law with regard to other movable property.51
טו
המפקיר לעניים אבל לא לעשירים אינו הפקר עד שיפקיר לכל כשמיטה והמפקיר עבדיו הגדולים קנו עצמן והקטנים כל הקודם והחזיק בהן זכה כשאר המטלטלין:
When a person declares landed property ownerless, whoever comes first and manifests his ownership52 over it acquires it.
According to Scriptural Law, even when a person declares his property ownerless in the presence of one person, it becomes ownerless and one is not required to tithe its produce,53 as will be explained in its place.54 According to Rabbinic decree, however, [property] is not ownerless until one declares as such in the presence of three people so that one can acquire it and two can act as witnesses.
Should one say: "This is ownerless and this," there is an unresolved doubt whether the second entity is ownerless.55 If he said: "...and this is like this" or "...and also this," he has associated the second entity [with the first], and it is definitely ownerless.
טז
המפקיר את הקרקע כל הקודם והחזיק בהן זכה דין תורה אפילו הפקיר בפני אחד הרי זה הפקר ונפטר מן המעשרות כמו שיתבאר במקומו אבל מדברי סופרים אינו הפקר עד שיפקיר בפני שלשה כדי שיהיה אחד זוכה אם רצה והשנים מעידים והאומר הרי זה הפקר וזה הרי השני ספק הפקר ואם אמר וזה כמו זה או שאמר וגם זה הרי התפיס השני ויהיה הפקר ודאי:
When a person declares his field ownerless and no one else acquires it,56 during the first three days, he may retract.57 After these three days, he may not retract unless he comes first and acquires it.58 He is like one acquiring ownerless property.59 [There is no difference] between him and another person.

המפקיר את שדהו ולא זכה בה אדם כל שלשה ימים יכול לחזור בו אחר שלשה ימים אינו יכול לחזור בו אלא אם כן קדם וזכה בה הרי הוא כזוכה מן ההפקר בין הוא בין אחר:
When a person says: "This field is declared ownerless for one day," "...for one week," "...for one month," "...for one year," or "...for one seven-year cycle," he may retract before he or another person acquires it.60 Once it is acquired, whether by the person himself or by someone else, he may not retract.
Why does he have the right to retract before it was acquired? Because this is an uncommon matter. [Generally,] a person will not declare [property] ownerless for a limited time.

When a person comes and watches over ownerless property, looking at it so that another person will not take it, he does not acquire it by looking at it. Instead, he must lift it up if it were movable property61 or manifest ownership over it if it were landed property,62 as purchasers acquire property.63

See the parallels in Hilchot Sh'vuot 2:1.
I.e., mere thought is not sufficient. With regard to vows, Numbers 30:7 mentions "the expression of her lips," implying that one must express his intent verbally.
Hilchot Sh'vuot 2:10-12. The latter point is also implied by the prooftext cited above, for the term "expression" implies bringing out something which exists, i.e., revealing one's thoughts. Thus if a statement does not match one's thoughts, it is not an "expression" (Kiryat Sefer).
The figs, because he did not make a statement concerning them and the grapes, because he did not intend to mention them.
See Hilchot Sh'vuot 2:15.
He must state his retraction verbally. It is not sufficient for him to have this intent in his heart [Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 210:3)].
See Hilchot Sh'vuot 2:17-18. As mentioned there, the term "immediately thereafter" has a specific halachic definition: the time it takes a student to tell his teacher: Shalom Elecha Rabbi. Since he retracts in this short time, it is considered as if the vow was never made.
For Numbers 30:3 associates the two together (Kessef Mishneh). See Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 239:1).
For by taking the vow, he is indicating that he no longer desires to uphold the stipulation (see Nedarim 23b).
Kiryat Sefer explains this ruling as follows: Although Numbers 30:3 states: "He shall not desecrate his word," that applies only to a vow that has taken effect. In this instance, since he forgot his stipulation, it is as if he took the vow in error and it never took effect.
Our translation and bracketed additions are made on the basis of the gloss of the Radbaz.
Otherwise, according to that view, the vow takes effect and the fact that he remembers the stipulation afterwards is not significant. The Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 211:2) mentions the Rambam's view, but also that of the other authority and states that we should give weight to that authority's view. The Ra'avad also differs with the Rambam and offers another interpretation, stating that the nullification is only effective when he willingly accepts the stipulation immediately after remembering it.
As Nedarim, loc. cit., emphasizes, the most common application of this principle is the declaration customarily made after the release of vows on the day preceding Rosh HaShanah, when we nullify all the vows we will take in the year to come. This is also the source for the Kol Nidrei prayer recited at the beginning of Yom Kippur which nullifies all vows to be taken in the coming year. Note, however, the statement of Rama (Yoreh De'ah 211:1) that we do not rely on this stipulation without going to a sage for a formal annulment of a vow unless a great necessity was involved.
In this instance, he did not nullify all vows that he would make in the future, only those of a certain type, e.g., not to drink wine or eat meat [Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 211:3)].
In one of his response, the Radbaz states that this intent need not be verbalized. It is sufficient that he have the intent at heart.
I.e., his intent is that if his original statement is discovered to run contrary to his vow, he desires to follow his original statement.
I.e., he was aware of the possibility that his vow could run contrary to his original statement and took it nonetheless.
For oaths have a more severe dimension, since God's name must be invoked. (See Hilchot Sh'vuot 12:2.) The Jerusalem Talmud (Nedarim 3:1) would appear to support this approach.
The Radbaz maintains that the Rambam follows this view as evidenced by the fact that he does not include this in the list of matters in which oaths differ from vows (Chapter 3, Halachah 1). The text for the nullification of vows rite recited on the day preceding Rosh HaShanah and the Kol Nidrei prayer mention oaths as well as vows.
The Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 211:4) adds that the nullification of vows in this manner is possible only when one takes a vow on his own initiative, but not when he agrees to a vow proposed by a colleague, for the colleague does not have that person's original stipulation in mind. Thus by agreeing to his colleague's statement, he implies that he is not concerned with his original stipulation.
I.e., he does not know with regard to which prohibition he associated his vow (Rashi, Nedarim 18b).
We say that he associated the vow with an object that causes entities to be forbidden (ibid.). The rationale is that if this was not his intent, he should have remained silent (Radbaz). See also Chapter 9, Halachah 4.
For it was necessary to salt all the sacrifices (Leviticus 2:13).
For when one equates produce with a sacrifice the vow is binding (Chapter 1, Halachot 7, 9).
For the gentiles would also salt their offerings.
For there is no way, he can cause an article to be forbidden as a sacrifice to a false deity through his vow. Hence, when he mentions such an object as the basis of a vow, the vow is not effective (Chapter 1, Halachot 8, 9).
For in such an instance, the articles dedicated to the upkeep of the Temple become consecrated and forbidden for ordinary use until they are redeemed.
Hence an entity that is made equivalent to them is likewise not forbidden.
Chapter 1, Halachah 13.
For the tithe taken from grain is not forbidden to be eaten by ordinary people. Moreover, even according to the opinion of Rabbi Meir who rules that ordinary people may not partake of these tithes, they are not forbidden due to a vow. Instead, it was forbidden to partake of the grain before they were separated and once, they were separated, they remain forbidden (Ritba, Nedarim 18b).
Terumat halishkah in Hebrew. See Hilchot Shekalim, ch. 2, which describes how these funds were collected and used.
See Chapter 1, Halachah 11.
That we explore the person's intention.
Nedarim 18b explains that in the Galilee, it was not common for priests to live. Hence, when a person uses the term cherem there, his intent is a dedication offering for the upkeep of the Temple.
For we assume that his intent was a dedication offering to the Temple, even if he says that his intent was an offering to the priests.
See Chapter 9, Halachah 1.
I.e., a situation where the basis for the vow is a permitted entity and hence, the vow does not take effect.
I.e., he said: "Let this produce be like a cherem."
In his Commentary to the Mishnah (Nedarim 2:8), the Rambam cites Chabakuk 1:15 which employs such a term.
The Hebrew word atzmi means "myself," but it can also mean "my bone." Initially, it was thought that the person's intent was that he forbade his colleague from benefiting from his self. He clarified, however, that his intent was "his bone."
His word can be accepted when he says: "This was my intent." Hence, the vow is not effective at all. With regard to the release of vows, see Chapter 4, Halachah 5.
I.e., as stated in the following halachah, this is a safeguard to insure that the common people treat vows with the earnestness required.
For we assume he knows that the vow is of no consequence. Note the Rama (Yoreh De'ah 205:1) who states that in the present age, we consider everyone as a common person with regard to such matters.
The Rama (loc. cit.) states that the person is required to approach a sage only with regard to vows involving his wife, but not with regard to those involving other matters.
If the common person was allowed not to pay heed to his vow, he might take leniency with regard to other vows in the future, including some which would be halachically binding.
This implies that he does not have the potential to retract merely by making a statement (Radbaz, Ketzot HaChoshen 273:1). According to Rabbinic decree, the laws are more stringent with regard to landed property, but this is law in all other instances.
Ketzot HaChoshen discusses whether declaring an object ownerless is merely a retraction of one's own ownership over or does it involves transferring ownership to the person who will ultimately acquire it.
The Jerusalem Talmud (Pe'ah 6:1) explains that the declaration of property as ownerless is derived from the laws of the Sabbatical Year. In the Sabbatical year, this is done by Divine decree and here, by contrast, man declares the property ownerless.
Both the rich and the poor (Nedarim 7a). See the following halachah.
Through a formal act of acquisition (kinyan) as stated in Hilchot Zechiyah UMatanah 2:1. See Halachah 19.
I.e., it is not like consecrated property for him (Radbaz).
See Hilchot Matanot Aniyim 5:27 which states that in this way, a person frees himself from the obligation to tithe the crops of his field.
This is one of the indications that this declaration is not a vow. For were it a vow, it could be given to the poor alone (Jerusalem Talmud, loc. cit.).
I.e., are set free. Since they are released from their owner's property, they are free to be acquired by anyone and so they acquire themselves. Nevertheless, although the servant becomes his own man at this time, before he becomes a full-fledged member of the Jewish people, he must be given a bill of freedom (Hilchot Avadim 8:13).
Since they are below majority, they do not have an independent financial capacity and hence, cannot acquire themselves. Therefore any other person can acquire them.
Through a formal kinyan, e.g., locking a door or erecting a fence.
Rabbenu Asher and the Rama (Choshen Mishpat 273:7) states that even when one declares property ownerless without anyone else being present, the declaration is binding according to Scriptural Law.
See Hilchot Terumah 2:11; Hilchot Matanot Aniyim 5:27. Tithes are only required to be given from crops that one grew as one's own, not those acquired from ownerless property.
Nedarim 7b raises the question, but does not resolve it. Hence, if the original owner desires to retain possession, we do not expropriate it from him (Sefer Meirat Einayim 273:12).
If, however, another person acquires, it becomes that person's property. The original owner may not retract his declaration (Kessef Mishneh).
According to Scriptural Law and even according to Rabbinic Law with regard to other property, when one declares his property ownerless, the declaration takes effect from the first day and he is forbidden to retract, as stated in Halachah 14. Nevertheless, if he does retract, the retraction is binding.
Our Sages, however, ordained this ruling as a safeguard against people declaring their fields ownerless and then retaking possession of them and in this way, freeing themselves from the responsibility of separating the tithes (Radbaz, Sefer Meirat Einayim 273:13).
And thus he is not liable to separate the tithes (Kessef Mishneh).
I.e., even after three days pass. Since he is not intending to give up ownership entirely, even during the time he is willing to give up ownership, he still has a connection to the article and thus may withdraw his declaration (Radbaz).
Performing the kinyan of hagba'ah. Similarly, other kinyanim are also effective.
Performing the kinyan of chazzakah.
See Hilchot Mechirah 1:3, 3:1.

Earning the Right To Bare Arms
Long before I had a kid, when I still had a waistline, I visited a
private trainer who fancied himself a health guy. He told me he hated,
hated, hated working with clients who said they just wanted to "look
good in a bathing suit." He was interested in helping people improve
their health. So what, he asked me, would I like to work on?
blinked a few times. I was 22 and healthy. I couldn't think of a
reasonable lie, so I told him the truth: "I want arms like TLC."
body was fine – sure, I would have liked bigger boobs, but whatever. My
only aspiration was to have appendages as cut and strong-looking as
then-living singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and the rest of her all-girl
pop band.
The trainer gave me a look. I didn't hire him, and I never did work on those arms.
out, though, I didn't have to. All I had to do was add 10 pounds of
belly flab and a C-section scar to my bod, and – voila – arms so cut
they could scratch glass.
I had no idea that one day a toddler
would become my one and only piece of fitness equipment. But there he
is, all smiles and 25 pounds of him, refusing his stroller, demanding
my arms and – constantly – handing me things.
Whenever Zev finds
a rock or a twig or a scrap of paper that tickles his fancy, he thrusts
it into my hands. I'm asked to carry pebbles, toys, even imaginary
balls. He'll sometimes inexplicably demand, with the utmost
earnestness, that I stop making dinner that very moment, accept one of
his toy trains and "hold it tight."
I think he'd store things in my nose if he could reach that high.
weekend that the Disneyland submarine ride made its triumphant return,
I stood in a two-hour line. In the heat. Without water. Carrying a
couple of rocks in my pocket and my son in my arms.
There was
plenty of time for people-watching, so I took note of the fact that
every parent I saw was holding stuff. Sticky stuff, messy stuff,
ridiculous stuff (the sunburned linebacker-looking-dude holding the
miniature pink Cinderella backpack was my favorite). One common theme
to the stuff: None of it seemed to belong to the parents themselves.
They were all just schlepping their kids' junk.
So when Hubby swung by completely unencumbered, I was furious.
"Where's the backpack?" I hissed at him.
"It's in the stroller," he said, motioning to some far-off corner of the theme park where he'd abandoned it. "It's heavy."
demanded that he go get it. Not only did the backpack contain my
wallet, but it is a backpack – it's supposed to be on our backs. My
first 45 minutes standing in that line confirmed that carrying a bunch
of junk is the whole point of parenthood. So get with the program,
buddy, and start schlepping.
Besides, carrying stuff may be the only thing keeping most parents from expanding at the same rate as the universe.
was in a dressing room at Bloomingdale's recently, trying on swimsuits
and thinking about that personal trainer I never hired. Zev had snagged
a number of bikinis off the low racks and carried them into the
dressing room. As I tried on one of my selections, he kept handing me
his. Without even thinking about it, I took one. Then another. Then a
third.
Before long, I was standing before a full-length mirror,
assessing the horror show that is my body, while holding fistfuls of
swimsuits.
"Zev!" I finally said, realizing what I was doing. "Please don't give me any more. I can't hold them."
I wouldn't hold them, Zev reasoned, then he should be allowed to hang
them on the dressing room hooks. So I hoisted him up, and while he
carefully and patience-testingly placed one swimsuit on a hook at a
time, I caught another glimpse of myself in the mirror.
My thighs touched. My belly pooched. But … look at those arms! Unmistakably well-defined triceps. Undeniably strong biceps.
may have a few more pounds – and many more pebbles, twigs and toys – on
me than I'd like. But at least being Zev's living fanny pack has paid
off in one area: I finally have those arms I always wanted. They're cut
like TLC.
Sigh. I have to think that somewhere in the world, a health-conscious fitness trainer is laughing his rock-hard glutes off.
Still Playing Dress-Up
I recently sat at a table, in a gaggle of women, sipping Cristal as
a limo waited for us outside a hot L.A. nightclub. It was Keren's
birthday. We were celebrating in style. But all I could think about was
"The Love Boat."
It wasn't just the
Julie-the-cruise-director short-shorts that all the women at the club
were sporting. (Apparently, camp counselor gear passes for evening wear
these days. Who knew?) I had "The Love Boat" sailing around my brain
because I wasn't entirely comfortable in my outfit
I was 6, Sarah's mom set up a "dress-up box" for her – and by
transitive property, me. Boas, hats, high heels, anything that Sarah's
mom didn't want anymore, she'd toss in the box for us to play with. I
never understood exactly how she chose which clothes to toss in the box
for us, but they almost always seemed to be evening wear.
dress-up box was a powerful thing, capable of transforming and
transporting us. Donning our mysterious, grown-up garb, we'd go from
being giggly 6-year-olds to embodying our ideal of sophistication,
glamour and sexiness. Which, at the time, meant that we'd pretend we
were guests on the "Love Boat."
Ah, Capt. Stubing and his
lucky crew! To young Sarah and me, there was not a more enchanting,
romantic, sartorially significant existence than that of the women who
graced the Pacific Princess.
The way they'd sweep into the
ship's dining room in floor-length evening gowns, dripping in diamonds,
poised to fall madly in love – I still swoon just thinking about it.
Sarah and I wanted nothing more than to turn "older," and take to the
open seas with our consorts and our fabulous clothing.
In the meantime, we'd have to make do with the dress-up box.
loved playing make-believe, but I was always acutely aware that it was
a game. I was swimming in those clothes, after all. Half the time, we
probably looked like participants in a very strange potato sack race.
Eventually, though, we just knew we'd grow into those clothes – and
into the mature women we saw at the Captain's table.
I'm finally "older," but those clothes aren't any more natural on me
now. At the club the other night, I fretted that my skirt was too
dated. For one thing, it covered my butt, which meant it was by far one
of the longest skirts in the bar. I also doubted my choice of earrings.
And my Spanx struggled to suck in that enormous dinner we all wolfed
down earlier.
Too self-conscious to get up from the table,
I watched some of the other women walk by – the ones who looked dressed
to kill, and the ones who looked as though they had killed their own
dress. It struck me that many of us – maybe most of us – still feel
like we're playing dress-up when we wiggle into formal gowns and
nightclub wear.
No matter how good they looked, women
tugged at their hems and applied coat after coat of lip gloss. They
shifted their weight in a silent complaint about their high heels.
this really all there is to adulthood? I think the reptilian part of my
brain still believed that truly "grown-up" women dress in formal wear
at all times and always look perfectly put together. But reality caught
up with me that night: The women on "The Love Boat" probably slipped
into sweatpants at the end of the evening.
I got home after
2 a.m., peeled off my heels and snuck as quietly in the house as I
could so as not to wake up Hubby and Zev. When I woke up the next
morning, I found my clothes piled on the floor. They reeked of
cigarette smoke and sweat, and they looked more like they'd been thrown
away than removed.
Looking at them, I smiled. All these
years later I figured out how Sarah's mom chose which clothes to toss
in the dress-up box. It probably had nothing to do with fashion or how
worn out the clothes were. It was probably much more psychological than
At the end of a night on the town, she probably
tossed the outfits that made her feel as though she was wearing
somebody else's clothes.
I've Got A Secret
My stomach hurts.
My stomach hurts, my palms are sweaty and I can't sleep.
I'm as tweaked as a heroin addict, and every time my phone rings I jump, nervously checking caller ID before I dare pick up.
Years ago I decided to work on my ability to keep a secret. I hated being the girl who ruined everyone's surprise party. I couldn't see movies before anyone else without giving away the ending. I was a complete buzz kill at holidays, always blurting out what someone's gift was while they were opening it.
So, I worked on it. Practiced biting my tongue. Perfected my poker face. And now I can honestly say that I am able to keep a secret.
But it's killing me.
By the time you read this, Keren's birthday will have come and gone.
Her husband's lavish celebration plans will have been executed, and
good times will be had by all.
But as of this writing, there are four days left until the party, and
I'm about to collapse from the weight of all this privileged
I get all twitchy around Keren. When we hung out recently, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror: I looked downright green.
It's so bad, that I can't make eye contact with her. In fact, I can
barely make eye contact with anyone. I feel like a criminal. Like prey.
It's as though I can sense that at any given moment Truth-Seeking
Ninjas are going to crash through my front windows and fight me until I
finally blurt out: "We're going to have a spa day. Then dinner. Then
clubbing. There, I've told you, now please, spare my life!"
It takes most of my energy to rein in my natural
reporter-must-tell-the-world instincts. But the thing that eats at me
the most about keeping someone's secret is the fear that I'll let the
news slip accidentally. I already almost ruined the surprise once.
"Why would your husband be calling me?" I asked Keren on the phone, as
my call-waiting caller ID announced Mark on the other line.
Idiot! I realized as soon as I said it. Maybe because he's trying to tell you something about the
super-secret plans.
"Hang on," I said to her, as I moved my thumb over to the "Flash" button.
But then I panicked. What if she asks what Mark said? What's my alibi?
With my thumb still poised over the button, I thought it over: I could tell her that Mark wanted Hubby's cell number… but
then, why would he need that? Maybe I could tell her he called me
accidentally. That's it! That'll work!
By the time I came up with my genius plan, Mark's call had been sent to
voicemail, Keren moved on to a new thought, and disaster was averted.
But I got off the phone completely wiped out.
I think Keren can sense my weakness because for the last few weeks, she
keeps bringing up her birthday to me – telling me what she's like to
get for her birthday, asking if I know what Mark is doing for her
birthday. I've begun to suspect that she sadistically drops the word
"birthday" into a conversation, like it's a bomb, just to watch the
veins pop out on my forehead.
"When is your birthday, again?" Boom! "Did Zev have fun at his birthday
party?" Bam! "Did you know that this year my birthday will be on
7/7/07?" Ker-Pow!
I think I need to take out temporary restraining orders on all my friends around their birthdays.
Either that, or get their significant others to stop including me in
their secrets. It'll make surprise parties harder, sure. And it might
make for a few awkward conversations: I can't believe
you'd sit here with your wife right in front of you and say you don't
want to do anything for her birthday! Doesn't it fall on a Saturday
this year? Hey, why are you shoving that sock in my mouth?!
Difficult, sure. But I have to do something: I shed years off my life
every time someone plans a soiree. Yes. Staying out of everyone else's
plans is definitely the way to. I'm going to alert my friends – after
Keren's birthday. Until then, I don't have the energy to talk to anyone.
I'm going to lie down. My stomach hurts.

Blake Shelton 'Pretty Upset' About Adam Levine Leaving 'The Voice'
Blake Shelton recently shared his thoughts on Adam Levine's decision to leave The Voice, and how he felt blindsided by the announcement.
New reports have come out regarding Blake Shelton's feelings about Adam Levine leaving The Voice.
According to US Weekly, Shelton was one of the many individuals shocked by Levine's unexpected announcement. The country singer commented on the surprise situation, saying: "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect Adam to pull the trigger like he did. … We all knew he was getting to the point — it was 16 seasons he had been doing the show, and it's hard to keep him focused on anything. He was ready to move on. … I was pretty upset that Adam was gone."
Shelton originally expressed his shock and dismay about the surprise decision back in May. "After 16 seasons that changed both of ours [sic] lives. I only found out about this yesterday and it hasn't set in on me yet," he shared on social media at the time. Shelton has expressed his excitement, however, after Gwen Stefani was confirmed to be replacing Levine. This addition will help "soften the blow" of Levine leaving, according to Shelton.

Q: Android Send Mail: Disable edit in default email composer I am developing an application. In which i am sending email from my application. I am using the code to send the mail as :
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { too });
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, sub);

emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Choose Email Clients..."));

By using this code i am able to send the email. As the default mail composer is accessible.
My Issue is that : It is the need of application that user can not edit in the default composer (body, subject and to fields). But the composer fields are editable. So how to make the editable false.
My whole data as body of mail, subject and to whom it is going to send is coming from data base. User is not having authority to change or modify it.
I searched on Google and got some code which send email without using intent, which i feel very complicated. The link is here

I got this error while running the application on device as SAMSUNG galaxy s2.
But it running successfully on LG optimus E400.
So what should i do or follow the step to achieve the task. or is there a way to send mail without intent.

A: I solved my issue. As it was a silly mistake on which i forgot to pay attention. As my LG device is worked in GPRS net and my Samsung device is on WI-FI.
So i just include the permission of WI-FI in androidmenifest file as:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

After adding this permision i am able to send mail from intent as well as from the code given in link which is custom email sending with out intent.
Hope this post will help in developing e-mail sending app to all.

There's a "Harami" pattern, which has been formed at the local high. So, the market is likely going to test the 21 Moving Average. If a pullback from this line happens little later on, there'll be an opportunity to have another upward price movement.
The last bearish "Doji" led to the current decline. It's likely that the pair is going to test the lower "Window", which could be a departure point for an intraday upward price movement.

Since ordering wine online can feel like more of a gamble than buying in-store with friendly assistance, we consulted a wine expert for virtual guidance. Sayle Milne, certified wine educator and founder of Wine Savvy NYC, dished on the delicious and affordable bottle options that we can add to cart for convenient doorstep delivery. "When it comes to the holidays, most of us fall into two categories: you either sparkle or you stress. I definitely fall into the stress category, which is why I am always looking for ways to simplify my to-do lists," Milne confessed. "Shopping online most definitely has its pros. I am a huge proponent of ordering in bulk or buying the case, as it is one less thing for you to think about or additional errand to run," she shared.
We've rounded up 11 of Milne's holiday suggestions (from sparkling to red and even non-alcoholic) that you can order online (from Amazon to Drizly and more). "Holidays are about time with friends and family (even the unexpected who stop by), so being prepared by placing orders early and having plenty of wine stashed is a great way to avoid added stress. Did I mention you can order in your pajamas?" Cross wine off your holiday to-do list by adding the ahead bottles to cart.

Private William Henry Horwill
Service Army Service No. A/202644
Regiment: King's Royal Rifle Corps, 12th Battalion
Born Morchard Bishop Date of Death: 21/03/1918
Memorial: Dawlish Memorial Inscription HORWILL W. PTE. K.R.R.
William Henry Horwill is shown in some records as enlisting at Exeter in the King's Royal Rifle Corps and is a Rifleman, service no A/202644
12th (Service) Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps
Formed at Winchester on 21 September 1914 as part of K2 and came under orders of 60th Brigade in 20th (Light) Division.
The War Diary of the KRRC, 12th Battalion, for February 1918 shows them moving as a reserve to various positions along the Somme front, but not being called into action. This continued until 6th March when, until 20th , they prepared the defences of Offoy.
The German Offensive of March 1918 is set out in the profile document for Walter Andrews (q.v.) who was killed on 23rd March on a different part of the Front.
On the 20th the KRRC were 'stood to' all day until the evening when "a very heavy bombardment began along the whole front, increasing in intensity until it reached its maximum at about 4 a.m., 21st March. "
The Army Register of Soldiers' Effects lists William Henry Horwill as dying of wounds and further searches are necessary to discover if he had been in hospital.
William Henry Horwill was the eldest child of William Horwill (1848- ) and Sarah, nee Way (1854- ). They appear to have married in 1874 (GRO ref Crediton June 1874, vol 5b, p 707). The father was an agricultural labourer and both parents and all the children were born in Morchard Bishop.
William Henry Horwill appears in the Dawlish census in 1901, age 23, as a carter to James Edwin Lock who was the miller at the flour mill on Brunswick Place. James Lock (1862-1939) was born in Sandford, near Crediton and was first a miller in Upton Hellions before moving to Dawlish, and marrying Mary J Slocombe (1863-1906) in Exeter in 1888. Mary J Slocombe was born in Dawlish.
William Horwill (shown as Herwill on the 1911 census form and as Horwitt in 1901) was still working for James Lock in 1911 at 19 Brunswick Place, and presumably up to the outbreak of war.

If you notice some products that bear the 'Premium' label, this means that the cat food feature corn or wheat-based ingredients as its main components. Keep in mind that in many instances, these food products may not work for your pets. But if you notice produces that contain 'Meat Meal' in its main label, then these products often includes components sourced from corn, wheat and soy. Based on our reviews, the ones that feature the 'Meat Meal' label is considered better, thanks to its high concentration of protein in the pellets. However, you might not be able to know at a glance what kind of meat is contained in the cat food.

Giving your pets the right food through the use of an automatic cat feeder. Also known as pet food dispensers, they are beneficial as it releases right food portion especially for cats on a diet.
Keeping your pets hydrated as much as possible, through the use of cat water fountains. Water fountains encourage cats to drink more water. Water also keeps cats away from urinary diseases and infection.

Today, we are announcing that Amazon EC2 P3dn.24xlarge GPU instances, the latest addition to the P3 instance family are generally available. With up to 4x the network bandwidth of P3.16xlarge instances, P3dn.24xlarge instances are optimized for distributed machine learning and HPC applications. These new instances provide up to 100 Gbps of networking throughput, 96 custom Intel®Xeon® Scalable (Skylake) vCPUs, 8 NVIDIA® V100 Tensor Core GPUs with 32 GB of memory each, 300 GB/s NVLINK GPU interconnect, and 1.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD storage.
The faster networking, new processors with additional vCPUs, doubling of GPU memory, and fast local instance storage enable developers to not only optimize performance on a single instance but also significantly lower the time to train their ML models or run more HPC simulations by scaling out their jobs across several instances (e.g., 16, 32 or 64 instances).
AWS is the first cloud provider to deliver 100 Gbps of networking throughput which helps remove data transfer bottlenecks and optimizes the utilization of GPUs to deliver maximum instance performance. In addition, the doubling of GPU memory from 16 GB to 32 GB per GPU provides the flexibility to train more advanced and larger machine learning models as well as process larger batches of data such as 4k images for image classification and object detection systems.
Below is a comparison of how P3dn.24xlarge instances compare to existing P3 instances.
P3dn.24xlarge instances are available in the US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon) AWS regions as On-Demand, Reserved, or Spot Instances. To learn more about P3 instances and how they are being used by customers such as Airbnb, Salesforce, and Western Digital, visit the P3 page.


Over the past several months, crews have completely replaced the old elevator with a larger one that can more easily fit people using wheelchairs. The project was part of Pulaski County's response to a class action lawsuit alleging a lack of accessibility in its government buildings. The original legal agreement called for the elevator to be installed by the end of September, but the project encountered delays, most notably a fire alarm issue that, so far, has pushed back the opening by more than a month.
The lack of an elevator has caused government meetings to be held at the County Highway Garage since March, while various offices have had to make arrangements for those who couldn't use the stairs. Meetings should be able to move back to the commissioners meeting room in the courthouse starting with Monday morning's commissioners meeting.
The elevator is designed in such a way that it could be moved to the County Annex Building, if proposals to replace the courthouse with an addition to the Justice Center were to move ahead.
