West Michigan Pursuit had two grapplers travel to Bay County this weekend looking to earn the Monster Medals and Championship rings offered for 1st Place. Both Drew Moro, 64 lb 7/8 age group, and 85 lb Blake Peasley, 9/10 age group, went undefeated and claimed what they came for, each earning another Championship Title. Moro also earned the Most Valuable Wrestler award.
WMP had 16 grapplers enter the Orchardview tournament and placed 14 in the top 5. Orchardview was also a "Greights" tournament which attracts several tough competitors from all over the state. Isaiah Sostenes, 80 lbs 9/10 age group finished 5th. 52 lb Tatianna Castillo, 7/8 age group finished 4th. 67 lb Evan Andrews, 9/10 age group; 95 lb Blake Hammer, 13/15 age group and 90 lb Isaiah Smith, 9/10 age group finished in 3rd. 71 lb Luke Egan, 9/10 age group; 55 lb Kaleb Pautke, 7/8 age group; 75 lb Tyler Parmeter, 9/10 age group; 64 lb Aaiden Vasquez, 7/8 age group; 59 lb Kellen Weckesser, 9/10 age group and 67 lb Kamden Witte, 9/10 age group finished in 2nd. Champions of the day are 67 lb Quinten Cassiday, 9/10 age group; 46 lb Brody Compau, 7/8 age group and 70 lb Josh Vasquez, 11/12 age group.
"I see growth in each athlete every week," said Head Coach Dave Andrus. "I love having them light up when moves they drill at practice provide the intended result during a live match! We are the Pursuit of Champions," said Head Coach Dave Andrus.

The first tournament of the 2017-2018 MYWA Western Region was hosted by Kentwood wrestling. West Michigan Pursuit brought 16 grapplers to compete with one entering Novice and the rest entering the Open division. One grappler—Drew Moro—traveled to Iowa to compete at the Hawkeye Nationals in Iowa.
On Saturday, December 2, Drew Moro bumped up an age group and entered the 3rd/4th grade division in the 66 lb wt class, finishing in 2nd Place. On Sunday, he entered his own age group, 1st/2nd grade division in the 65 lb wt class. After two days of tough competition, Moro battled hard and claimed the 2017 Hawkeye Nationals Championship Title.
At the Kentwood tournament, West Michigan Pursuit placed 15 young competitors in the top three. Out of 60 battles, WMP claimed 43 victories. 52 lb Tatianna Castillo, 7/8 age group; 64 lb Caden Green, 7/8 age group and 90 lb Blake Hammer all finished in 3rd Place. 55 lb Kaleb Pautke, 7/8 age group; 75 lb Tyler Parmeter, 9/10 age group and 85 lb Isaiah Smith, 9/10 age group all finished in 2nd Place. Both Pautke and Parmeter battled back and went 4-1 claiming their True Second. Champions of the day are 67 lb Quinten Cassiday, 9/10 age group; 40/46 lb Brody Compau, 7/8 age group; 71 lb Luke Egan, 9/10 age group; 90 lb Blake Peasley, 9/10 age group; 80 lb Isaiah Sostenes, 9/10 age group; 64 lb Aaiden Vasquez, 7/8 age group and 65/70 lb Josh Vasquez, 11/12 age group.
"Each year I have returning champions, more who are training to gain that status and those looking to be a part of the continued success here at WMP. Looking at the team I have right now, I am very impressed and excited to see what the 2017 season brings," said Owner and Head Coach Dave Andrus.

The Democratic and Agricultural Labour Party (DALP), more commonly referred to as the Christian Democratic Party (CDP), was a short-lived political party in Belize. It promoted Christian Democratic ideals.

History
Shortly after the formation of the National Independence Party in 1958, Member of the Belize House of Representatives Enrique Depaz claimed at a meeting held on 19 August that there was no opposition to the ruling People's United Party (PUP), who had just won elections in March 1957. He proposed that a third party was necessary to provide real representation to Belizeans. His proposal was accepted and the DALP was formed under leader Nicholas Pollard. The party aimed to achieve self-government and promote social, economic and political development and was against entering groupings such as the Federation of the West Indies or any proposed affiliation with Guatemala and/or the rest of Central America.

By October 1960, the party felt it was time to reorganise. Pollard was demoted to Deputy Leader and replaced by MP Denbigh Jeffery. Joining them were Chairman Lionel Francis (previously of the NP), Secretary Mervyn Hulse and assistant Ernest Cain, Treasurer Clare Gill and National Organizer Robert Taylor. The party contested its first elections in 1961, but none of the eleven candidates it fielded won a seat. As a result the party fizzled and most of its members switched over to the National Independence Party.

The party was briefly revived prior to the 1984 elections by Theodore Aranda to promote his new party based in Dangriga. However, it received only 708 votes (1.5%) and failed to win a seat.

How our CKD journey started.
My son was invited to Choi Kwang Do on buddy week, by his friend. I did not want him to go as he had recently just stopped doing MMA, which I was not a fan of.
After much thought, I decided to let him go.
He came back from the session with a big smile on his face and said " can I go again?" He was so excited, and he really enjoyed the session. How could I say no? When I went to see the instructors, to fill out the paperwork, Mr Bicknell said "come and try out Choi Kwang do too" I started to laugh and I said "it's not my kind of thing." When I was there, I felt that Mrs and Mr Bicknell were very approachable, friendly and down to earth people. Not like other instructors that I have met in the past during other martial art fields.
Funny as it seems, it was buddy week the week after again and my very good friend invited my daughter and I too attended a taster session! we went just for the sake of it. My daughter didn't want to go, but she came anyway to see how things went. She is such a girly girl and had no interest whatsoever.
After the session, my daughter and I were amazed how much we actually enjoyed the session and how comfortable we were during the session, everyone was so welcoming, since that time, us as a family have become addicted to CKD, especially my daughter, who didn't want to go at first, CKD has embedded into her blood ! The reason that keeps us going back, week after week, is our lovely instructors, the Bicknells. They are so professional and encouraging. The thing that stands out the most about them is the way they interact with the younger children in class. The way they build up their confidence, by little encouraging words. Choi Kwang Do was a life choice that we made and it is one of the best things we have done! we love being part of the amazing CKD family.

Home News Local Walk for Freedom spotlights human trafficking
Walk for Freedom spotlights human trafficking
By: Maggie Darnell
Human trafficking survivor Charity Pittman (Maggie Darnell for The Cullman Tribune)
CULLMAN – "This is a silent walk, we're walking for those without a voice," this year's Freedom Walk organizer, Stephanie Wood, said to those congregated at the Cullman County Courthouse Saturday morning. The group walked for the A21 Campaign, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization whose mission is to fight human trafficking. A21 was founded in 2008 by Christine Caine and has a global presence. The organization has many strategies to fight against human trafficking "through awareness, intervention, and aftercare." Saturday's Walk For Freedom took place across 50 nations and 450 happened that day.
Shared Wood, "I think it is absolutely awesome that Cullman gets to be a part of something that is so large; Cullman can be a small town, but we are getting to be a part of a global walk, and I just think that's huge. A lot of people think that human trafficking does not affect Cullman County, but it does, and it doesn't matter if your family is impoverished or rich, human trafficking touches everyone."
She continued, "Whether you're a victim yourself, or if you're not a victim you may find some you know may have experienced trafficking. I just think it's so amazing that we get to be a part of it (the walk) and I hope that people walk away today more aware of their surroundings, more aware of what's happening right here, and just be moved to do something and not just sit on the sidelines; now that they have that knowledge, take a step: donate to an organization that is doing something, make a phone call if they see something is off, just that they would be empowered to make a difference."
Walkers can raise money and were encouraged by A21 to donate $100 to the campaign. The fundraising ends in October. Walkers carried signs with key statistics about people who have been victims of the horror of human trafficking.
There were several speakers before the walk started. In addition to Wood, Cullman County Sherriff Matt Gentry and special guest speaker Charity Pittman spoke to the gathering.
Gentry addressed human trafficking in Cullman County: "Human trafficking for us, is on all levels since the new law was passed."
Gentry said usually it's solicitation for sexual acts; "Human trafficking today is a very broad range of acts."
Pittman gave a personal testimony about how human trafficking deeply affected her life, being subjected to it by a family member, but said, "I am not a victim of human trafficking, I am a survivor!"
Attendees walked in a single-file line down Highway 31 in front of the courthouse, in silence, "for those who don't have a voice."
According to the Alabama Criminal Code, Section 13A-6-153:
(a) A person commits the crime of human trafficking in the second degree if:
(1) A person knowingly benefits, financially or by receiving anything of value, from participation in a venture or engagement for the purpose of sexual servitude or labor servitude.
(2) A person knowingly recruits, entices, solicits, induces, harbors, transports, holds, restrains, provides, maintains, subjects, or obtains by any means another person for the purpose of labor servitude or sexual servitude.
(3) A corporation, or any other legal entity other than an individual, may be prosecuted for human trafficking in the second degree for an act or omission only if an agent of the corporation or entity performs the conduct which is an element of the crime while acting within the scope of his or her office or employment and on behalf of the corporation or entity, and the commission of the crime was either authorized, requested, commanded, performed, or within the scope of the person's employment on behalf of the corporation or entity or constituted a pattern of conduct that an agent of the corporation or entity knew or should have known was occurring.
(4) Any person who obstructs, or attempts to obstruct, or in any way interferes with or prevents the enforcement of this section shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(b) Human trafficking in the second degree is a Class B felony.
Earlier this year, The Tribune reached out to Kathy Wilson, the chair of the Cullman County Human Trafficking Task Force for her definition:
"Human trafficking is defined as modern day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. People often confuse trafficking with human smuggling, which involves movement of persons. These are not interchangeable terms. Smuggling is transportation-based and trafficking is exploitation-based. I wish the language could be changed to 'Human Exploitation.'"

Objective:

The objective of this study is to determine the biological
consequences of nanoparticle agglomeration. We hypothesize that there will be
a difference in the toxicity of fresh (predominantly singlet) vs. aged (predominantly
agglomerated) carbon nanoparticles, and in testing this hypothesis we will: 1)
measure the agglomeration rate of several types of carbon nanoparticles; 2) identify
whether agglomeration is affected by differing exposure conditions including
humidity and particle charge; and 3) compare the toxicity of singlet vs. agglomerated
particles in mice exposed via the inhalation route. A number of investigators
have clearly demonstrated in instillation studies that nanoparticle toxicity
is governed, in part, by particle size. Our preliminary studies have demonstrated
that freshly formed nanoparticles produce lung injury and inflammation in mice
and the extent of adverse effects is influenced by genetic host factors. We will
expand upon these findings and identify whether realistic exposure conditions
which lead to carbon nanoparticle agglomeration alter the pulmonary response
in mice. Particle agglomeration of nanoparticles is known to be influenced by
number concentration and other physical factors. Almost all particle agglomeration
data has been derived, however, under static conditions whereas occupational
exposure to nanoparticles occurs under dynamic conditions. It is critical, therefore,
that the influence of agglomeration on nanoparticle toxicity be examined under
dynamic conditions.

Approach:

To test the hypothesis that there is a difference in
  the toxicity of fresh (predominantly >singlet=) vs. aged (predominantly
  agglomerated) nanoparticles, we will first establish the agglomeration of freshly
  generated carbon nanoparticles at various distances (i.e., aging times) downstream
  from particle generation in a dynamic exposure system. After careful initial
  characterization of >singlet= and agglomerated particles, inbred mice will
  be exposed to nanoparticles (generated in an arc furnace) at various stages
  of particle agglomeration and the lungs will be examined for injury and inflammation.
  To insure that pulmonary differences in response are due to particle agglomeration,
  groups of mice will be exposed to >singlet= or agglomerated particles at
  the same time using the same operating conditions and control of humidity,
  and particle charge. To determine whether initial findings for a single type
  of particle composition are applicable to other nanoparticles, we will also
  generate particles with different amounts of metal content as is found in carbon
  nanoparticles generated with metal catalysts.

Expected Results:

As determined in preliminary studies, we expect that nanoparticle
    toxicity will be influenced by a variety of exposure conditions including
    particle size, number, agglomeration state, charge, and composition. By careful
    characterization of particle agglomeration in a dynamic system, our inhalation
    toxicity data should provide key information regarding the toxicity of emerging
    nanoparticle technologies. The data obtained in the proposed animal studies
    can readily be used for extrapolation to occupational and ambient settings.
    In summary, the results from this proposal address a number of the research
    needs identified in this solicitation, including toxicity and exposure assessment.

Gardening is one of the most therapeutic activities we know. There's a real sense of achievement when you can see, on maybe even taste, the fruits of your labour! Start Growing allows members to learn horticultural skills and work alongside the community in a range of gardening projects.
Throughout the year, we run a series of horticultural workshops to help members learn how to 'grow your own'. Our hands-on sessions are full of practical techniques such as how to cultivate and maintain your crops throughout the year, growing from seed, creating and implementing planting programmes, along with advice on essential garden maintenance techniques such as digging, pruning and watering.
As well as being a fun and rewarding activity, it is also a very social one. You'll get to make new friends – both with other members and among the local community – and learn how to work alongside others to achieve a sustainable environment.
If you live in Salford and would like to meet new people, as well as learn some gardening skills, why not get in touch and give it a go?
Start in Salford runs projects that involve our members, volunteers and are supported by the local community.
We have received funding from Veolia Environmental Trust to develop the wildlife habitat and improve access to the raised beds at the Bowling Green. You can get involved in developing better wildlife habitats on the site on Tuesdays and Saturdays - see the leaflet above for more information.
Based at Brunswick House, Edith's Garden is where we teach our members the basic horticultural skills; including seed sowing, taking cuttings, caring for flowering plants, making and planting up containers and beds as well as seasonal gardening skills.
We need volunteers to help maintain our flower garden and greenhouse at Brunswick House and our community edible and wildlife garden at Buile Hill Park. If you have some time to spare and would like to get involved please contact Sue Jeffries to find out more.

It doesn't rain too often in Southern California, but when it does we end up with some interesting conditions for a corporate photography shoot. When coordinating with a company like Quartic Solutions, whose team members work across the state, it's best to take advantage of weather conditions no matter what they are. So in between rain showers, Quartic's team of nine leading, GIS professionals and myself put together a quick corporate photography shoot in downtown San Diego.
We selected an interesting location that most of us were familiar with, which is a parking structure in downtown San Diego near where some of their government and corporate clients are located. Though it was mid-week resulting in a nearly full parking, the starkness of the parking structure provided a sense of a workday environment. This was OK because a corporate photography shoot like this was geared towards capturing a sense of being amidst a busy, central part of downtown San Diego businesses.
Like any corporate photography shoot, whether in San Diego or elsewhere, the idea is to capture the feel of a company, to create a nicely-produced collection of photos that express about what who they are individually, and most important who they are collectively as a winning team. I think we accomplished these corporate photography goals, despite the weather and perhaps a few constraints of our location.
Featured in this article are some of the individual corporate headshots of each employee of Quartic Solutions, plus a nice variety of corporate team photos which the company can use for the marketing. To see the complete collection of all of the company's corporate photography shoot in San Diego, please visit my San Diego Corporate Photographer Client Galleries page (password required).

Further to EmIS 105 and 113/2018, the designated operator of Canada, Canada Post, asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators regarding the ongoing negotiations with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).
While negotiations continue, CUPW continues to conduct rotating strikes across Canada. These rotating strikes have caused delays throughout Canada's postal network – including in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, where the country's largest processing facilities, airlines and ground handling operations are experiencing significant backlogs.
Designated operators are therefore requested to immediately discontinue the dispatch of all mail (letters, parcels and EMS) to Toronto and Vancouver until further notice.
Member countries can expect to see ongoing delays for parcel and mail delivery. Canada Post apologizes for the inconvenience and will do everything possible to minimize the impacts of the union's strike activities.
Canada Post will provide further updates on developments as soon as more information is available.


Marketing yourself in a solo practice is a hard matter to deal with. This must be taken seriously since this identifies what you would be in the future and how recognized your name remains in the industry.Marketing a solo practice prevails mostly for attorneys as well as doctors who contact on hospice fraud hotline. These are the jobs that need enough experience before they can be frequently worked with and have a stable task. How about the new ones? Well they still require to market themselves.
Be brand-new and distinct in a certain place. Do not install an office wherein you have a lot of rivals because the possibility is, the customers will go to others if they knew that he/she has better experiences than you do. Ensure it's just you, so that the customers might appear to have no other choices otherwise than you.
Involvement in local chambers and other organizations might assist you have a name even if you are simply new in the industry most especially if the organization you signed up with into is a trustworthy one.
Build a site and even just a page of your very own with all the details of you, your office, the services you offer and how to contact you.
Hand out your business cards either to a customer or to a pal and provide another business card of yours to be given out to their buddies.
Speak out in the online forums or school activities as a volunteer. It's your opportunity to astonish the students and even the instructors or parents and they will probably become your customer quickly.
Marketing a solo practice takes in a lot of time and effort at initially, it will all be paid off one's you have actually successfully developed a credible name. In this way, having a constant task will no longer be an issue.
4th Change DefensesThe 4th Change to the United States Constitution mentions that every American citizen shall be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. This typically indicates that an individual cannot be searched or have his/her belongings took without a warrant or without a specific exception. One such exception is the stop and frisk rule.
A stop and frisk is when a police officer momentarily detains an individual who she or he thinks is suspicious. To protect the officer's safety, the officer is permitted to briefly frisk the individual for weapons.
In 1968, the Supreme Court of the United States held that law enforcement could stop and frisk people in particular scenarios. These circumstances consist of if the law enforcement officer has a sensible suspicion that the person will dedicate a criminal activity or that the individual might have dangerous weapons on his or her individual.
The choice was made in the case of Terry v. Ohio. The court recognized the unsafe nature of a law enforcement officer's job and the vigilance of providing a basic technique to make a confrontation with an unknown suspect more secure for the officer and the public. This procedure is also referred to as a "Terry stop" after the case name.
Much of the controversy concerning stop and frisk is figuring out when there is reasonable suspicion. A law enforcement officer may specify that a person is suspicious because he or she is extremely psychological, appears drunk, is fearful or is angry.
Police officers may likewise depend upon information about the environments to explain their affordable suspicion of the suspect. Such scenarios may include the suspect existing by a crime scene, moving in a suspicious manner or fleing from somebody. An individual can likewise be legally stopped if she or he matches the description of a desired felon.
If reasonable suspicion does exist, the law enforcement officer can stop the suspect. Some stops include a show of force, such as the law enforcement officer ordering the suspect to stop and sometimes even physically requiring the suspect to stop. A police officer may also perform a drop in showing his or her authority, such as by displaying a badge, giving the suspect a particular look or using specific demeanor to perform the stop.
An individual can be stopped without also being frisked. A frisk includes a police officer patting down a based on figure out if he or she is bringing any weapons. The reason for a frisk is to make the law enforcement feel more comfortable so that he or she knows that the suspect will not have the ability to hurt them with a concealed weapon.
A frisk is likewise indicated to safeguard the other citizens in the vicinity. A frisk can likewise be used to identify if an individual is bringing drugs. If the law enforcement officer can inherently identify that the item being patted is clearly drugs without needing to manipulate the item in any way, the item can be seized. This is based upon the "plain feel" teaching.
The majority of lawyer's dislike needing to market themselves and their firm. Reasons range from "It's tough," to "It's less than professional," to "I just don't have the time," but the bottom line is that some quantity of legal marketing is essential. Word of mouth is important, however it will only get you up until now. When you have actually accepted that reality, there's another to think about: "Marketing" isn't really associated with "Sleaze." There are tasteful, efficient methods of marketing your firm that, if done right, do not even encounter as marketing. Here are a few of those methods.
You'll fulfill fellow lawyers in your field of practice, permitting you to construct a network of coworkers– and potentially causing important referrals. In addition, you'll find it easier to remain up-to-date on the current trends and practices. Think about becoming an officer of some kind in the organization; the extra publicity may generate some added leads, and at a minimum, you'll be providing prospective clients one more reason to trust you.
This is another method of getting your name (which of your firm) out in front of fellow specialists. While it's unlikely that you will produce any leads from written articles– although you may generate recommendations– it's entirely possible that potential customers who are thinking about hiring you might run across your short articles while Googling you: a result that can only help seal the deal.
Charity work is an easy method to build a bridge between your firm and your community. Your firm will receive increased name acknowledgment, and you never ever understand when you may meet a potential client. In addition, studies show that staff members of companies that are active in regional charities are happier at their tasks than those whose employers are not. In other words, in addition to getting your name out there, your professional personnel will benefit.
In this day and age, maintaining a solid web existence is a necessity: not just in terms of having an useful site, however likewise being noted in online directory sites, having some online professional or social networking presence, and in optimizing search engine results so that your firm appears on Internet searches. Most of these tools require employing a professional, but even if you are a solo specialist, there are methods to improve your online legal marketing on your own.

Q: Angular 4.3 - Correct Way to Implement an Enum in a child component? I got stuck on accessing the selected value from an enum I deployed in my contact.component today. It is part of a form. Here is how I implemented the enum:

contact.component.ts (extract of relevant code only)

    import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
    import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

    //emum for contact list type
    export enum ContactType {
      'Select-One',
      'Information-Request',
      'Suggestion',
      'CustomerService-Request',
      'Quotation-Request',
      'Complaint',
      'UrgentCallback-Request'
    }
...
    export class ContactComponent implements OnInit {
      //form property declarations
      rForm: FormGroup;
      post: any;
      keys: any[]; //for enum

      //variable declarations
      contactType = ContactType; //for enum - assignment from above nested enum class

...
      //use Constructor to specify form validation
      constructor(private formBuilder:FormBuilder) {
        //enum first then string fields
        this.keys = Object.keys(this.contactType).filter(Number);

...

      //method to post submitted contact form (here is where the back end service call is made to db)
      addPost(post) {
        this.contactType = post.contactType;

...

So my HTML class for the contact component is as follows:

contact.component.html (extract of relevant code only)

    <fieldset>
    <form id="online_contact_form" [formGroup]="rForm" (ngSubmit)=addPost(rForm.value)>

Online Contact Form

            Contact Type:
            <select>
              <option *ngFor="let key of keys" [value]="key">{{ contactType[key] }}</option>
            </select>

            First Name: <input type="text" formControlName="firstName" placeholder="Given/First Name here">

              {{ alertFirstName }}

...

<ng-template #forminfo>

Many Thanks - Messsage is Sent - Details Are:

{{ contactType }}

First Name: {{ firstName }}

Last Name: {{ lastName }}

Email Address: {{ email }}

Contact Number: {{ contactNumber }}

Comment:
{{ comment }}

</ng-template>

So, the styled code above displays the enum as a dropdown list very neatly in my contact form on Chrome, Safari and Firefix. The problem I have is with the selected value, I cannot seem to access the value selected in the dropdown and add it in the template (post submit) that displays when the submit button is clicked on. Is there a method .Selected() that I can use with enums to get he selected value into a variable in Angular 4.3?

A: It looks like you're using ReactiveForms, but you don't have a FormControl to hold the value of your select.
this.rForm = this.formBuilder.group({
  'select': []
  ...
});

For the html
<select formControlName="select">
  ...
</select>

Then when you call submit
this.contactType[this.rForm.get('select').value];

A: You need to use formControlName or 2 way binding [(ngModel)]

A: The string enums were introduced in TypeScript 2.4. AFAIK, Angular still doesn't support 2.4.

Thesis title: Feminism and the Neoliberal Crisis in the US-American Half-Hour Comedy-Drama
My BA and MA degrees are in American Studies, which I obtained at the University of Graz, Austria. My MA thesis explored postfeminist paradoxes in HBO's Girls, and my research has had feminist theory and criticism at its core ever since.
My research aims to contribute to feminist television criticism. I am interested in exploring questions of complex TV and seriality, as well as questions of feminist resistance, resilience, and care in serial narratives.
My current work analyses neoliberal feminism as a subject from a socialist/Marxist feminist perspective and explores feminism's entanglement with contemporary complex and 'quality' TV in the US, especially the half-hour comedy-drama. Intriguing programmes that exemplify the contradictions and complexities of feminist discourse's current junctures are, for example, Russian Doll (Netflix, 2019–present), Undone (Amazon Prime, 2019–present), and Search Party (TBS/HBO Max, 2016–2022).

Ellen's Acres is a short-lived American animated television series for preschool-age children, which exclusively premiered weekly on Cartoon Network and in the United Kingdom, the show airs on Cartoonito. Animation Collective produced the series. It originally aired on September 29, 2006 on Cartoon Network in the United States, airing at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT, but was pulled from the schedule after February 5, 2007. The series features a very imaginative five-year-old girl named Ellen who has adventures in a hotel her parents own approximately  from Tonopah, Nevada named the Emerald Acres (hence the show's title).

Format
Each episode begins with Ellen narrating the adventure she had in her imagination, but she says, "Actually...", and the scene changes to a desert area, and Ellen says, "I had just gotten off the bus from school and was saying goodbye to Mateo, my bus driver."  She then says goodbye to the unseen driver who closes the bus doors, honks the horn twice, and drives off.

Ellen then says hello to her friend, a tire, and carries a feather duster, two useful props in her adventures, then takes them to the hotel offices, where her parents ask how school was and Ellen explains the first adventure. Ellen then sees what her parents are up to (finding a fossil, fixing a fan because the air conditioning broke, etc.) which leads into further imaginary adventures based on chores she's been asked to do.

Characters

 Ellen – The protagonist of the series, a five-year-old girl who moved to Nevada with her parents and has a very vivid imagination.  She has orange hair, a gap in her tooth, carries a backpack, wears a light green T-shirt with a daisy, a denim skirt, a pair of mismatched socks (one with two green stripes on her left leg and one with a red and blue stripe on the right leg) and black mary jane shoes. Born in Los Angeles, California, Ellen plays with a Hercules 17 steel-reinforced all-season tire she befriended in nursery school and a mauve-colored hypoallergenic feather duster as her playthings, theatrical company and posse.  Emily Corrao is the voice of Ellen.
 Ellen's parents – Mom, a sports lawyer and former agent, and Dad, an ex-professional skateboarder and amateur geologist, moved to this bucolic desert location near mines forty miles from Tonopah, Nevada after he completed his career in athletics when they decided to settle down.  Together, they run the Emerald Acres Hotel.  Evelyn Lanto is the voice of Mom, while Marc Thompson is the voice of Dad.
 Cooter and Connie – The heart and soul of Emerald Acres, Cooter is the resident handyman and Connie is the maid in charge of the place.  Vibe Jones voices Connie while Michael Alston Bailey is the voice of Cooter.
 Mateo – Ellen's unseen bus driver, who drops her off at the hotel at the beginning of every episode.

Home->State->Rs 100 crore poultry valley project launched in U'khand
Rs 100 crore poultry valley project launched in U'khand
Friday, 02 December 2022 | PNS | DEHRADUN
With an objective to provide impetus to poultry farming in Uttarakhand, the State government launched the ambitious poultry valley project on Thursday. The Rs 100 crore project was launched jointly by the Cooperatives minister Dhan Singh Rawat and Animal Husbandry minister Saurabh Bahuguna here on Thursday.
Speaking on the occasion, Rawat said that the poultry valley would be developed on a cluster basis under which the villages and areas having high potential would be identified. He explained that the cluster based approach would help in fulfilling the concepts of economics such as demand and supply and marketing of goods. He opined that the project would help in understanding and sharing the mechanism of community participation. The minister averred that the unorganised poultry sector would be organised and it would be made a steady source of income for farmers. The minister claimed that the projects of his department have helped in doubling the income of farmers in the last three years.
He said that a total of 6.50 lakh people were given interest free loans under Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya cooperative welfare scheme and time has arrived to double the income of poultry farmers now. He said that poultry products are supplied to the State from Najibabad and Bijnor and now with the help of new project assistance would be provided to the poultry farmers of the State. He said that the scheme was successful in Chakrata and now it would be implemented in the entire State.
The Animal Husbandry minister Saurabh Bahuguna said that the project would help in creating new employment opportunities and strengthen the youth and the women. He opined that the scheme would also reduce migration. The minister expressed happiness that the Animal Husbandry and Cooperative departments are working in tandem to achieve the target of doubling the income of the farmers. He asked the officers to ensure that the project is successfully implemented on ground.
The Cooperative and Animal Husbandry secretary BVRC Purushottam said that a target of 5,000 beneficiaries under the project has been taken from 2022 to 2025. He said that the Animal Husbandry department has provided a grant of Rs nine crore, interest free loan of Rs 79.63 crore by the Cooperative department and the State integrated cooperative development project has kept a provision of Rs 15 crore for the project. Purushottam said that for the first time in the State two departments are involved in a scheme of such dimension.
The nodal officer of State integrated cooperative development project Anand Shukla gave a presentation on the poultry valley scheme.

Q: How do I inform a user space application that the driver has received an interrupt in linux? I have a PCIe device that will send a hardware interrupt when a data buffer is ready to be read. I believe the best approach for this is to use signals but I'm not entirely sure how. What I believe I need to do is:

*

*Save the PID of the user space application so the driver knows where to send the signal

*In the interrupt handler of the PCIe device driver, send a signal to the user space application

*In the User space application implement a signal handler function for processing the signal

I'm not sure how to do either of these.
How/Where do I save the PID of the user space application?
How do I send a signal to that specific PID from the driver's interrupt handler (I believe I should use the kill command but I'm more interested in the syntax of getting the PID)?
How do I have the user space application wait for the signal after saving its PID?
Is it possible to have the user space application continue to run after saving its PID, run the signal handler function when a signal is received, and continue running where it was before the signal arrived? (similar to how an ISR works)

A: Don't use signals for this.  Implement a character device.  The userspace application will open it, then call read and will be blocked until your driver determines there is data available.
See Linux Device Drivers chapter 3, I think.

A: Have to handle interrupt directly in kernel. In order to pass PID to kernel, have to use the device file abstraction (e.g. ioctl() calls), but it provides asynchronous notification through read/select as well so signal solution is replaced.

A: This is an old question, but to manage IRQ from application userspace, the better way now is to use UIO driver and poll/select call on /dev/uioX.

The "Gravity" of Our Situation
Watching the Weather Channel, seeing the unfolding catastrophic effects of Super-typhoon Haiyan on the Philippines, I was struck again by the thought I had while watching the movie "Gravity" at the theater recently. The movie, while being a typical Hollywood over-the-top "space-cowboy" portrayal of disaster, in many ways managed to come together at the end with a subtle but powerful message. A message I have often thought and written about over the last several decades.
In the movie Dr. Ryan Stone, ably played by Sandra Bullock, survives the destruction of every space station refuge the combined nations of earth have placed in low-earth orbit. In about three hours an unexpected event wipes out decades of space development, construction and operation. There's a message about the fragility of mankind's endeavors somewhere in there. It might be a Hollywood one-in-a-million scenario but then, those possibilities do exist.
Before its destruction, Dr. Stone makes one last miraculous escape from the Chinese space station that was her final refuge. She then survives an uncontrolled capsule re-entry that can only be described as one no sane astronaut would ever wish to have. Dr. Stone makes a near crash-landing in an un-identified remote lake somewhere on earth with no support or pick-up operations anywhere on the horizon. The capsule quickly sinks as she tries to claw her way out. Stone has to struggle free and swim to the surface and then to the nearby shore of the lake.
There, she crawls back out onto the soft sand shore while grappling once again with earth's gravity pulling her back down, forcing her to re-double her low-gravity weakened muscles in the push to stand up. At first, she walks shakily and then confidently onto the beach as a fully erect, thinking human having escaped the entire onslaught thrown at her to survive. She is reborn as life emerging from the waters of the earth.
The scene is highly-symbolic of a whole collage of emotion and mankind's triumph over adversity and planetary survival, not just that of one astronaut returning to earth after a single harrowing mission of deadly challenge. The scene and movie aligns a multitude of issues that all people of the world face if we are to survive in a universe with a so-far-very-low inventory of planets hosting intelligent life. The most important issue seems to be the impossibility of the people of the world to choose how to even survive together as a civilization or a species.
Complimenting that theme was a recent item in the news of the announcement by NASA that there may be approximately 9 billion earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone. That is an astounding number where we knew of none a decade ago. Even if not one of those suspected planets proves to host intelligent life it should give every person on this planet pause, no matter their station or circumstance, for no other reason except to ponder the implications for a day.
The ongoing advance of such science and studies shows that the odds of eventually finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe grow every day. Or, just having an available inventory of life-sustaining planets may one day prove very important for that trait alone. However, we seem to be having a problem finding intelligent enough life on this planet in order to govern ourselves.
Which brings us back to Super-typhoon Haiyan and the devastation it has just visited on the Philippines. I have often thought of the problem that "island nations" face on this planet every day. Whether the Philippines, Japan, Indonesia or the tiny Maldives islands, surviving as an island nation is a tough proposition. They have strictly defined and limited land mass upon which to support an ever increasing population. The Philippines, especially, has a large (nearly 100 million and growing) and grindingly poor population that must figure out how to survive and then prosper on a landmass about 2/3 the size of California. How do they really survive for the long term?
Or Japan? A much more successful nation that 70-odd years ago felt compelled to attack other countries when their ability to trade was threatened. Even though seemingly successful today Japan's population is now declining at a rate of 1 million people/year with alcohol and suicide fast accelerating in the population. The Sendai quake of 2011 and subsequent Tsunami is just compounding their problems.
Both Japan and the Philippines are dependent on being able to find or trade for goods, materials and resources they may not find anywhere on their islands. Plus, any large-scale catastrophe multiplies the difficulties of island existence many times. It also illustrates another problem.
Three thousand years ago such events occurred with the same regularity as the more recent Indonesian and Japanese Tsunamis or the Super Cyclones or Hurricanes in any of the seas. The same is true with massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, with ancient populations so much more sparse and dispersed and more easily accessible resources close by, the incidence of effects on large populations was much lower. Such will never be the case in the future.
People back then viewed such devastating and low-frequency events as "Biblical" or the "Wrath of the Gods" on a world and in a universe of which they had little understanding how the fundamental laws and resulting geophysics operated. Such minimal understanding is much less the case today. We understand much more (though nowhere nearly enough) about how earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and firestorms occur. However, we really have little more ability to avert or ultimately alter the outcome and effects on people than we had 2000 years ago. In the future, there is a very large-scale disaster awaiting that will prove beyond anyone's doubt the truth in that statement. So, most must still resort to some form of prayer or ritual protection practice.
We have some small ability to detect and thus give earlier warning but it's not much for most circumstances. And with a large and dispersed population of 7+ billion inhabitants large-scale death and destruction is going to become more prevalent. More to the point is the extremely poor response we, as a planetary population, make to these events around the globe, particularly given what they mean to our island world. Yes, the same problems that every island nation has today is actually shared by every nation on our "island" planet, whether anyone wishes to understand or believe that fact or not.
We have a finite planet with an always-increasing population and will have for quite some time into the future. Governments and, particularly, the anti-human environmentalist crowd has to get over that fact. We are infested by a range of governing systems that together seem to make less progress, with each war and conflict, in understanding and rising to the real challenge of our continued existence here on earth. Instead, those governments regularly seem to expend just as much time in ravaging and destroying much of what earth's population achieves on the same regular basis that the earth's geophysics destroys. Which really brings us to the "BIG" problem and what we're going to do about it.
Are we going to allow the evolution or practice of large-scale depopulation or build a world that embraces population growth as not just an inherent feature of our long-term survival but a thing of beauty and essential to our survival? Yes, expanding population is a thing of beauty, contrary to what most environmentalists (a slightly different form of narcissistic-sociopaths) believe. However, everyone needs to turn their attentions to fixing coercive governance not trying to develop more.
As I and a few others have advocated for decades, there is a much more critical reason to solve the problem of dictatorial, murderous, socio-pathological regimes and governance that seems to plague our existence everywhere on the planet. That self-evident reason is that we cannot solve our much larger problems of earthly survival for any one population or conserving the environment in the best way possible, much less the species, without first solving the problems in our governance. In many ways that problem is more easily solvable if only the reasonable and rational among us would actually stand up and start expressing that reasonable and rational proposition.
To save ourselves on this planet we must first eradicate the power structures of humans that generate conflict and war and give rise to the narcissistic, socio-pathological megalomaniacs who strive for power in every country through maintaining those structures. In this and other countries we seem to be stupid enough to elect and re-elect them out of both major parties. In other countries they also take control through various mechanisms, from pseudo-democracy structures to outright police state violence. In any case, the general population must learn how to identify them much earlier in their rise to power and end their efforts through concerted individual action. They must learn the lessons of freedom and liberty and our population apparently must relearn them.
Yes, that's right, it's up to each of us to stop them, not look for others to do it for us. Yep, we need to turn off Sunday Sports, the latest Amazing Race or any one of a number of mind-numbing, brain dead activities that really provide no added value for our own lives, much less to help insure the benefit of our children and grandchildren. Get off the couch now, otherwise it will be removed for you as government grows ever larger. Even many of those who don't view themselves as couch-potatoes, because they are employed and may have "jobs," fail to realize that many "jobs" are simply not productive or produce no true wealth that advances the population or our civilization. That is particularly true of about half of government jobs and many in the service sector that support government. Those government activities and "jobs" that produce no economic, human health, safety or productive benefit are easy to identify once one understands actual economics and human behavior.
For the truly addicted, the only way might be to toss the satellite or cable and most social media connectivity altogether and go cold turkey. Also ending the massive, mindless consumerism would appear to be a reasonable education experience for most. More than a third of our GDP is used up making, selling and using "stuff" that can only be viewed as complete "crap." A waste of precious and finite resources. Incomprehensibly, many people don't understand everything we make and have comes out of the earth, it doesn't just magically appear in the stores and supermarkets. There's no other way to describe it but "crap" that so many rush around to purchase every day, believing they're helping the "economy" because their political leaders and the TV tell them so.
It's also appalling how few in the United States are engaged in trying to bring about positive economic and political change while our economy and federal budget are in the midst of an ongoing implosion here and in similar governments across the globe. There is no "Recovery" on the horizon other than transitory statistical blips and flim-flammery. The two ideologically-controlled parties and the mass of elected buffoons here have failed to resolve anything of importance and, in fact, are the ones pulling us underwater. We have wars of all types brewing around the planet and more than half of America couldn't locate central Asia or Africa on a map even to save their life. Which soon may become a necessity.
On earth we live in a gravity 'well.' To first overcome that 'well' will require enormous individual sacrifice and the development of private, sustainable (meaning profitable) systems, infrastructures and technologies to fully exploit the region of near-space and the solar system beyond for the immense and beckoning resources there. It is an imperative of the survival of the human race. If we fail to do that before we have consumed too much of the strategic resources we have on the planet, the necessities of planetary survival of the increasing population will trap us here in the well and likely doom us to a (optimistically) slow and grinding extinction.
However, think of the opposite possibilities! My Dad was an early worker in the Space program. He and his colleagues early-on planted a seed that directed eventually all man's long-term possibilities lie in space. Nature, as did my decades-long career as a large-scale systems engineer, teaches that the first form of any system's survivability is redundancy, particularly when the in-system reliability is either not high or unknown. Being able to obtain resources from space not only insures our long-term survivability on earth, but in space or elsewhere may lie refuge if for some reason something were to happen to earth. Development of off-earth resources will also allow the Conservationist mentality to be better utilized.
However, to obtain our long-term survivability requires we must finally overcome failed behaviors, philosophies and failing political systems first. Thousands of years of tribal, religious, monarchical, nationalist and oligarchical wars have left the human race largely bereft of the correct lessons. We continue to fall into the same traps built by the powerful to both amuse and control. One of the contemporary and chief failed philosophies behind Communism-Socialism-Fascism -Progressivism is Environmentalism.
A person born today stands a reasonable chance of living to somewhere near the end of the century. What kind of a planet will they be living on? Will human behavior continue on the downward trajectory we seem to exist on today? Will we learn the lessons of the 20th Century or continue as we are? Is it possible to retrace the Pursuit of happiness we started out on?
In a world of ever-increasing population and finite geophysical boundaries there is no such thing as Environmentalism. Only Conservationism. Environmentalism is the latest attempt at the "free lunch." Until that is understood we will continue to fall behind in our need to survive for the long term. Mankind is the most endangered species on the planet as we represent the best hope of developing both intelligent life AND continuing the survival of the entire planet. If we are wiped out everything else will inevitably follow. Cosmic events may be far apart but they contain the only global-killers we will ever know. Governments and Environmentalists aren't smart enough to think that one through.
It is the goal of "The Citizen's Last Stand: Are YOU Ready?" to re-introduce the population to the fundamentals of existence and of positive advancement towards happiness. I believe it is the goal of the "Remnant" who truly believe in Freedom and Liberty to re-establish those fundamentals as the driving properties of not only America but of our planetary civilization. It is the most expansive view to our future that I know of and certainly beats the heck out of the brain-dead policies and political future of the ruling parties and the government we have in place.

My training as a stone mason, architectural carver and lettercutter has taught me all about shaping and sculpting stone. I like to explore the materials I work with in a three dimensional way. Each stone has its own feel to it, its own unique qualities. Welsh slate for example is more laminated in its structure and tends to want to split naturally along certain planes, and it will need to be shaped more carefully, whereas other materials will exhibit different qualities. I feel it is rewarding to explore the tactile nature and surface finishes possible in different stones, and this can be done by employing a range of different chiselling techniques as well as rubbing and polishing - as can be seen on the Kilkenny limestone piece pictured, where the top is highly polished and the lower section roughly "clawed".

Edit Note: The Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta has been renamed to "Windows Defender Offline". The instructions below have been edited accordingly.
Windows Defender Offline can also be used in situations where an antivirus software fails to install or the program that is installed is unable to detect or remove malware from the computer.
The original "Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper" tool had long been a part of the Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) for Microsoft Enterprise customers.
With USB sticks so readily available, the instructions that follow are for that media. However, a blank CD or DVD can also be used.
If you elect to prepare an ISO for future use, keep in mind that the definitions will not be up-to-date.
Regardless of the operating system used to create the file, it is essential to select the correct version of the tool, either 32- or 64-bit, for the infected operating system where the tool will be used.
An Internet connection is required for installation and download of the latest virus and spyware definitions for Windows Defender Offline.
Internet Browser: Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or higher.
The download file is located at Microsoft Help and Support. Again, it does not matter what the operating system is that you use to download and create the bootable media. However, it is critical to select the correct version for the computer where the tool will be used.
After downloading the file, select the correct version. If you need assistance determining whether the infected computer is 32- or 64-bit, see the Microsoft Help and Support article for instructions.
After the process has been completed, the bootable USB drive is ready for use.
When you click "Computer" to eject the USB drive, note that the name includes the version of the tool that was created.
Click on the Help drop down arrow menu.
In the event the infected computer does not have an Internet connection, the updates can be manually transported to the infected machine. The definitions are the same for Windows Defender Offline as used with Microsoft Security Essentials.
If the following conditions are met, when running the tool again, the USB drive will not be reformatted. In addition, after creating the tool on your USB, you can copy other tools, "rescue data" as well as the latest definitions.
The files on the USB drive are not damaged or missing (the tool will verify that the files are not damaged).
The same USB drive is used.
The version of the Windows Defender Offline used to create the bootable USB drive is the same as the version of the tool being re-run or updated. The tool will detect the already installed product and will only update the definitions without reformatting or altering your data.
Important Note: BitLocker must be disabled on the infected computer to use Windows Defender Offline.
Operating system: Windows XP Service Pack 3; Windows Vista (RTM, Service Pack 1, or Service Pack 2, or higher); Windows 7 (RTM, Service Pack 1, or higher).
error code 0x8004cc05 when system sweeper failed to start from cd.
Microsoft System Sweeper Error Code 0x8004cc05 booting on a Dell Dimension E521 Vista System.
In checking the Dell Dimension E521 Vista System, it appears that it is a 64-bit AMD processor.
First, make sure that the CD you created was for the 64-bit version of the System Sweeper (mssstool64.exe) even if you used a 32-bit computer to download the file.
Second, although in the specs I found, it does not appear that your computer has a 3.5" floppy drive, if that is the case, I suspect that is the source of the error.
You can disable the floppy drive either via Device Manager or BIOS.
Go to Device Manager. Select it and Expand FloppyDiskdrives. Select FloppyDiskDrive and right-click selecting disable.
Restart your Computer, pressing Del to enter into BIOS. In CMOS Setup, click FloppyDrive A and select Disabled. When you Save your Changes in Bios, you won't see FloppyDrive in Windows.
In either process, restart the computer to ensure the changes took effect. Reverse the process to re-enable the floppy drive.
I also get Error Code: 0x8004cc05 when attempting to run System Sweeper from a USB drive. I have a 64-bit processor and the 64-bit version of System Sweeper, and no floppy drive enabled. What else may be causing this error?
A solution I have seen work for some is to boot without the network cable. After the Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper launches, reconnect the network cable and download the current definitions.
Thanks, Corrine, disconnecting the network cable worked for me. Very strange!
Thank you for letting me know that disconnecting the network cable worked, ionfield. I'll update Solve Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Errors to add that as another possible solution for Error Code: 0x8004cc05.
Great help. downloaded the Standalone sysem onto my flash and then booted my pc. As suggested, went to my pc and change the booting order. Result, able to scan my computer. However, now my pc won't start from my hard drive, even after I changed the booting order back to its orginal. I've a hp pavilion entertaniment dv4 bought in 2010. Now, I need to do a system recovery on my pc, all that work. any advice. I keep getting mssage hp cannot repair start up automacally because of the recent change in hardware/software. HELP.
First, you need to determine if your laptop is 64 or 32-bit to get the correct version. It cannot be "64/32 bit".
As to backing up important files, although they should be fine, there is no guarantee.
If you would like additional assistance, please follow the Log Posting Instructions at LandzDown Forum and I'll do my best to assist.

Q: Is it possible to register all classes within a package as Spring beans I'm familiar with Springs Java based configuration options, including the usage of @Component and @Configuration in conjunction with @Bean annotations to register Spring beans.
However, when converting a decent size project to Spring, it can be very labor intensive to systematically touch all classes in the project and update with @Configuration @Beans or annotating each class with @Component. We have a large Groovy project to be converted and I would like to simplify the process.
My question: Is there a facility provided in Spring that allows you to tell Spring to auto-configure all valid bean candidate classes within a specific package?
If not, what other options are available?

A: ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner is all you need.
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GenericApplicationContext context = new GenericApplicationContext();
        ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner scanner = new ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner(context, false);
        scanner.addIncludeFilter((metadataReader, metadataReaderFactory) -> true);
        scanner.scan("net.company.name");
        context.refresh();

        A a = context.getBean(A.class);
        System.out.println(a.toString());
    }
}

You can pass custom logic in include filter if you want. In current version every class in the provided package will be included as a bean.
But it is impossible to build a right dependency structure on your classes automagically, it really depends on the scope you want. You need to do it by your hands.

A: I'd do pretty much the same thing that Roman did, only I'd do it at build time, not at runtime, using code generation. The rationale here is that I strongly prefer magic to happen at build time to magic that happens at deploy time.
In the simplest version, write a main method that scans the package (instead of reflections api, I'm using Guava's ClassPath scanner) and creates a @Bean method for every class it finds.
For the Code generation, I'd use JCodeModel:
public class PackageBeanGenerator {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String packageName = args[0];
    JCodeModel codeModel = new JCodeModel();
    // create class definition
    JDefinedClass springConfig = codeModel._package(packageName)._class("SpringConfig");
    springConfig.annotate(Configuration.class);

    for (ClassPath.ClassInfo classInfo : ClassPath.from(
                    PackageBeanGenerator.class.getClassLoader()
        ).getTopLevelClasses(packageName)) {

      Class<?> type = classInfo.load();
      String beanName = CaseFormat.UPPER_CAMEL.to(
                           CaseFormat.LOWER_CAMEL,
                           type.getSimpleName());
      JMethod beanMethod = springConfig.method(JMod.PUBLIC, type, beanName);
      beanMethod.annotate(Bean.class);
      beanMethod.body()._return(JExpr._new(codeModel._ref(type)));
    }
    // write class to file
    codeModel.build(new File("/path/to/output/folder"));

  }
}

A: You can try to use your own BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor
@Component
public class CustomBeanFactoryPostProcessor implements BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor {

  @Override
  public void postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) throws BeansException {
    Reflections reflections = new Reflections("my.package.prefix", new SubTypesScanner(false));
    Set<Class<? extends Object>> allClasses = reflections.getSubTypesOf(Object.class);
    for (Class clazz : allClasses) {
      GenericBeanDefinition gbd = new GenericBeanDefinition();
      gbd.setBeanClass(clazz);
      gbd.setAttribute("attributeName", "attributeValue");
      registry.registerBeanDefinition(clazz.getSimpleName() + "_Bean", gbd);
    }
  }

  @Override
  public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
    // Custom post process the existing bean definitions
  }

}

A: At the risk of sounding primitive, why not just do a simple find and replace in your IDE (e.g. search for "public class" in a package and replace with "@Component public class") ? That should be much quicker than trying to do anything programatically.


Stepping back and forth between the world's two longitudinal hemispheres is fun in a quirky sort of way. Of course it requires you to be positioned right above the Prime Meridian. And that, in turn, means you must have decided to spend a London afternoon over in Greenwich, a few miles down-river along a now much cleaned-up Thames and more or less across from Canary Wharf. If you'd somehow been asleep for a quarter of a millennium, and were wholly unaware of Britain's Empire years, you'd soon be set straight when you visited Greenwich. It's magnificent!
My wife and I spent a day this past weekend re-acquainting ourselves with this London borough where you'll find the National Maritime Museum (magnificent!), the Old Naval College (which in its original incarnation had been a retirement home for Royal Navy sailors and is partly a Christopher Wren creation with a splendid chapel), the seventeenth-century Queen's House, a Greenwich Market first established over three centuries ago and, of course, the Royal Observatory. It's at the last of those listed attractions where one can hop between hemispheres.
Remember, the east-west division of the world is wholly arbitrary in a way that the north-south split is not. The equator is a fact imposed on the world. Where to draw the up-down line to split the world's west from its east is a function of nothing more than who happened to be drawing the line and what they prefered. At the height of the British Empire, the world's largest-ever, the people doing the preferring were in London. And so the Prime Meridian runs right through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. That is why, before political correctness infected everything from banning temporal reference to the shorthand of 'Before Christ' to toilets and 'renewable energy is cheaper if you just ignore the $3 billion in subsidies it gets each year', we used to talk in terms of Greenwich Mean Time. Everything was based on that, and the arbitrary line drawn there to separate east from west.
Anyone know who unveiled the statue at the official ceremony? I just learned the answer this past weekend. If you answered 'the Marquis de Montcalm', a direct descendant of the losing French general at that 1759 battle, then give yourself a huge pat on the back – you are a trivia God.
Here's another bit of trivia that Australians might have a better chance of knowing. To get behind the French lines on the fields of Abraham General Wolfe's troops were navigated up the St. Lawrence, at the time a task commonly thought to be impossible, by a young Royal Navy lieutenant. This was a man who would go on to have more than a little importance in the future affairs of Australia. In fact, he has more than a few statues in Australia today, all of which the crazier elements in the Green Party (read 'the whole party') and the left-wing of the Labor party would like to pull down or at least deface. For products of the modern education system who might still need a little help, his Greenwich is at right.
Here's another random fact, one I happen to find particularly pleasing. Both Wolfe and the young Royal Navy lieutenant, who went on to find an even wider fame than the General's, shared the same Christian name (another term seemingly been banned by the keepers of PC orthodoxy.) Mine.
At any rate, I came back from the day at Greenwich thinking I might re-read Niall Ferguson's Empire. It's a powerful defence of the British Empire and documents a time when Britain's political class was (I put this as neutrally as I can, you understand) somewhat more vigorous than today's in standing up to the undemocratic forces that ruled Europe and did their best to bring Great Britain to its knees.
Jump forward a couple of centuries and British PM Theresa May begins all negotiations with the EU already on her knees. She surrenders before she tries anything else, and if that isn't working she tries surrendering some more. This, alas, is the result of a Tory party deciding it would be a good idea to put a confirmed Remainer in charge of negotiating Brexit, who in turn stuffed her Cabinet with Remainers. At this stage only the adamantine obtuseness of the EU can save Brexit. The Tories don't deserve that sort of luck.
All told, this Tory Party-led fiasco is a much worse sell-out of their core voters than what we've seen with Australia's Liberal Party under Turnbull and the Black Hand faction. And that's saying something indeed!
Such a good overview of Greenwich and British triumph but why does my mind picture the reference source 'Jane's fighting Ships'?
Regardless, victory against the French at Quebec was monumental. The British troops secretly climbed the escarpment to the Fields of Abraham, just outside the French fort, through poison ivy and some brave souls were in kilts said our Italian/American tour guide.
The tour guide was a little unfair when he first asked why the courageous British wore redcoats? To conceal any bloodstains caused by enemy musket balls he said. Then the guide asked why the French wore khaki trousers?
It is indeed hard to comprehend how the Tories, especially, are prepared to sell out the national sovereignty. Not only that, the Tory Government is overseeing just about every PC lunacy imaginable whilst removing freedom of speech and now of thought. Could a Corbyn Government be any worse?
@Davidovich. The Tory party is the only party capable of governing Britain, if it could get its house in order. This is not going to happen any time soon. Something is happening in Europe that is unprecedented. It's called a paradigm change. Nothing like it has happened in our known and recorded history. Cameron's government was the last to govern, if only just. His main claim to fame is calling the referendum. He did not much else in the way of running the country. Since July 2016 nobody has been in charge of the running of Britain. May rule has been mis-rule. I have been reading Tim Shipman's take on this, All Out War and Fall Out. They are essentially novels based on some kind of real surreality. In Britain, the politicians have gradually gone insane. Almost as if the gods have decreed and engineered it.
This is how fundamental change happens. The old order goes off the rails. They know it, everybody knows it, but it is not being acknowledged, for to let on and allow the public realise what is happening would give the game away. It has to sink in slowly, so the globalising corporates will be able to gradually take control.
The old order EU cabal must by now be aware of the looming terminal velocity of the unwinding of their pet project. They will surreptitiously merge their business with the new world order overseen by the globalists, enabled by the West's progressives stooges and made possible by a supine and clueless western demos.
The transnationalists are already well dug-in in Europe. The old guard in European business, in France and Germany mostly, who have thrown in their lot with the elite running the EU federalisation project and are philosophically tired, and tied down, have lost it. They are riding the EU trainwreck into the old and tired Europe sunset.

Today's readings center around the realities of our Christian life as people redeemed by Jesus Christ, but waiting for the adoption, the redemption of the body, and the glories to be revealed. Until that day, we are in need of instruction on how we live together in this life, both in the Church and in the world. Besides instructions on moral living—how we keep the Law of God, what sins we are to avoid, and the like—our biggest need of instruction in Christian living is how to live with one another in forgiveness. Jesus gives us the model of how we must live together: we must be more eager to forgive than to hold onto anger or resentment, we must be zealous for our neighbors' spiritual and eternal wellbeing, and crowning all of that is a life of repentance and reception of Jesus' forgiveness which makes us able to live in God-pleasing ways.

title: Serving External Style Sheets

# Serving External Style Sheets

Starting with **Q3 2010 SP1 (version 2010.3.1215) RadStyleSheetManager** has the ability to serve external style sheets **combined or uncombined**. Since this operation requires access to the project file structure, a 'safe' folder or a list of folders must be specified in the **web.config** file of the web application/site.

## Example

You can specify one or more folders from your project that host the external style sheets.

>caution The folder paths must be relative to the root of the application, e.g. **'~/path_to_folder'** .
>

### Configuration

Add the following `<appSetting/>` entry in your *web.config*:

````ASPNET
<appsettings>
    <add key="Telerik.Web.UI.StyleSheetFolders" value="~/App_Themes/; ~/StyleSheets/" />
</appsettings>
````

### Usage

Register the external style sheets in **RadStyleSheetManager**. The paths to the files can be relative to the root or to the folder containing the current page.

````ASPNET
<telerik:RadStyleSheetManager id="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">
    <StyleSheets>
        <telerik:StyleSheetReference Path="~/App_Themes/main.css" />
        <telerik:StyleSheetReference Path="../../StyleSheets/StyleSheet.css" />
    </StyleSheets>
</telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>
````

>note If an external style sheet, which is not in one of the folder designated in the configuration, an exception will be thrown.
>

## Remarks

* You can specify more than one style sheet folder.

* With internal build **v2011.2.927** links to an external or a combination of external style sheets is timestamped - if the style sheet files are modified, **RadStyleSheetManager** automatically resets the generated link, so that the changes immediately propagate to the client.

* There is one important thing to have in mind when dealing with images in external style sheets. **RadStyleSheetManager** serves external style sheets through the **Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd** handler. The path to the handler is relative to the root of the web site/application, so URLs to images in the served CSS code must also be relative to the root and not to the actual location of the containing style sheets.
