Sound Wave
Introducing sources of sound
Classroom Activity for 5-11 11-14
This activity focuses on the idea that anything producing a sound must be vibrating. We think it best to start off with sources that involve obvious vibrations and then look at more subtle movements later.
You will need a collection of things that vibrate along with the means of showing that they do vibrate. We suggest:
a large panel of hardboard (approx: 1 metre by 1 metre) popularised as the wobble board
a tuning fork and a bowl of water, together with a table tennis ball suspended on a long piece of fishing line
a large loudspeaker, a signal generator and a collection of ball bearings or dried peas
a strobe light
a laser and a small piece of plastic mirror
To take it further:
a small wind-up music box and access to a table to use as a sounding board a small loudspeaker (50 millimetre diameter) and access to a pane of glass
Safety note: Signal generators driving loudspeakers have been known to produce unpleasant feelings, even nausea, in susceptible individuals at a variety of frequencies from as low as 4–15 hertz to above 20 kilohertz.
Safety note: Strobe light: photosensitive epilepsy is very rare but anyone suffering from it must not be exposed to flickering light. The same applies to those prone to migraine attacks.
Safety note: Lasers approved for school use should be used. Ensure that the beam cannot enter anyone's eye either directly or by reflection. A laser pointer can be used under the careful control of a teacher but be aware that some are marked with an incorrect power rating and so are more hazardous than they might appear.
Making sources
Start with the wobble board – just wobble it to and fro slowly in an exaggerated action. As you increase the rate of wobbling, start to talk about the vibrations of the board, connecting this use of vibration with the to and fro action. Ask what the board is doing to the air particles next to it. Slow the action right down so you can emphasise the push on the particles, and their bouncing back when this push is no longer acting. Emphasise that the vibrating board sets huge numbers of particles into this to and fro motion. You might also try to count the vibrations in a set interval of time, setting the scene for the introduction of the concept of frequency.

Introduce the tuning fork as something which makes a sound, but which we cannot see moving. (In fact our eyes cannot react fast enough to catch it moving, added to which it is not moving very far.) You can show that the prongs of the tuning fork are moving by dipping the end in a beaker of water. Try drawing the pupils in close as you demonstrate this on the pretext of trying to see the very small vibrations. The pupils will be wetted by the water particles as they are displaced by the to and fro action of the fork.
An alternative is to suspend a table tennis ball on a long piece of fishing line beside the vibrating fork, so that the fork collides with it at the extremity of its vibration.
A further way of seeing the vibrations is to polish up one end of the tuning fork (right at the end) and then bounce a laser beam off the outside of the end at a glancing angle (a laser pointer is enough), so that the reflected spot ends up on the wall a long way off.
The laser beam set-up amplifies the vibration of the fork. If you cannot polish up the end sufficiently, attach a small piece of plastic mirror to the end with a piece of Blu-tack. You might want to model what you are doing, perhaps by monitoring small movements on a large object such as the laboratory door.
To make lots of particles vibrate (as you did with the wobble board), just place the stem of the tuning fork on a wooden table and listen out as the table is set vibrating. A nice alternative is to have a music box playing, first with it held in the air and then with it resting on the table.
A further activity at this stage involves setting up a circus of vibrating objects (including a range of musical instruments) and getting pupils to spot the vibration that is acting as the source of the sound.
With the loudspeaker, you could use a strobe light flashing slightly more or less often than the number of loudspeaker vibrations a second to give snapshots. We think, however, that it would be better to keep things simple. Place the loudspeaker so that it faces upwards and then put (small) ball bearings or (dried) peas on the surface. With the loudspeaker connected to the signal generator, the peas or ball bearings jump about as the speaker cone vibrates.
Two extensions to discuss:
Rooms can be bugged by bouncing laser beams from the windows (health and safety is not so much of a concern for spies, but we don't suggest you try this), detecting any to and fro motion of the window pane. What would create such a motion? This is the stuff of spy stories.
Small loudspeakers are available that can be clamped to window panes. The loudspeaker sets the whole window pane vibrating to get lots of particles moving. This produces a much louder sound.

Students often misinterpret the phrase 'sound goes'
Many students, even some that understand that sound is the result of vibrations, struggle to explain the effect of covering an object which is making sound
Students are familiar with the idea that different materials make different sounds, therefore when asked to explain why an object is making a sound some students will answer by stating a material property

If you're listening to 88.3 WPPB FM's "Afternoon Ramble" with Brian Cosgrove, you've probably got your trigger finger on the Shazam button.
Brian Cosgrove: Off The Charts
June 19, 2018 By | Bridget LeRoy
If you're driving around between 1 and 5 PM, Monday through Saturday, and you're listening to 88.3 WPPB FM's "Afternoon Ramble" with Brian Cosgrove, you've probably got your trigger finger on the Shazam button as songs come on that you know you know, but that you can't quite place.
Listening to "Afternoon Ramble" brings a feeling of familiarity, of glory days and summer nights, with just enough diversity to push the envelope and make you think.
And it would be a difficult task indeed to live on the East End and say that you've never heard Brian Cosgrove's voice on the radio.
Cosgrove has hosted "Afternoon Ramble" — a mix of everything from Billie Holliday to Badfinger, John Prine to Father John Misty, along with songs by new artists and local singer-songwriters — since 2007. Before he came to National Public Radio's Peconic Public Broadcasting, he had been the morning host at 92.9/96.9 WEHM FM, starting there in 1997.
And before that, it was 98.5 WDRE FM. And before that, it was WLIR (which merged with DRE). "Essentially, since I went into commercial radio, I've been heard out here," Cosgrove said.
So, come on. You know you've heard him.
Cosgrove likes to describe his show as "consistent but unpredictable," which is right on the button. That Shazam button.
He also hosts "Paper Talk," a feature he started back at WEHM, when he speaks with different local newspaper editors throughout the week about what's of interest in their papers.
During his decade at EHM, while hosting the morning show, Cosgrove was also the music director, then the director of programming, before finally becoming the operations manager. "I was there for 10 years and it was great," he said.
But, Cosgrove admits, "I got worn down. It was no one's fault. There were six general managers during my time there. Every time there was a new GM, there was a new philosophy. I had the pleasure to work with some GMs who appreciated the creative aspect, but a lot of it was bottom line stuff."
Doing a morning show for 10 years, five days a week, also took its toll on him. "I just got burnt out," he acknowledged. So, what to do? "Loving the East End, I had to think: what is going to be the best move where I can run my clock out in radio? And I thought, you should go to an NPR station," he said.
WPPB, at the time, was still located at Southampton College, and was a jazz station. "I always liked jazz, but as I found myself taking a crash course in it," he said, "I learned to love it." He schooled himself — "woodshedding" — watching Ken Burns's Jazz documentary, listening to John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, and Thelonius Monk.
The station, now located on Hill Street in Southampton Village, has moved on from its strictly jazz format. It now features other local hosts — Bonnie Grice's "Eclectic Café" rules the mornings; Friday nights are dedicated to Ed German's "Friday Night Soul and the Urban Jazz Experience;" Michael Mackey brings local news and weather in short bursts throughout each day; and Ann Liguori hosts a Saturday sports show. Cosgrove still plays music rooted in Americana, blues and jazz, folk, standards, and even country.
Other national NPR shows include "Morning Edition," "Fresh Air," and Sag Harbor's own Judy Carmichael's "Jazz Inspired," along with NPR News on the hour, which was named in the 2017 Harris Poll EquiTrend Study as "News Service Brand of the Year." The national study, which measures the opinions of 100,000 consumers and 4000 brands, found NPR News to be the most trusted news source, followed closely by the BBC.
"There's nothing like NPR," Cosgrove said. "It's off the charts." In more ways than one. WPPB is not just eclectic in the mornings. A click on the dial to 88.3 FM can find shows featuring Broadway hits, full-on opera, engaging storytelling hours like "The Moth," and more.
But for the local hosts, one of the most important and grueling times of the year is coming up; the fund drive, which this season runs from June 25 to June 30. Wally Smith, the station's president, started in public broadcasting in 1972. "I've been doing semi-annual fund drives through that entire period," he recalled.
As far as WPPB is concerned, "They're critical. The fund drive has really become the continuity of our operating revenue, and operating revenue is always the most difficult to generate. I can usually find someone to finance a new tower," said Smith, but the sex appeal diminishes "when I say we need to make payroll."
Unlike just about every other non-profit out here, NPR doesn't hold a hot-ticket gala event with celebrity auctioneers and enticing items up for grabs, tempting those who want to eat finger foods and be seen.
Instead, it hosts an earnest appeal to the listeners who make up its base to continue to support the station they listen to the most. "We try to do it in a way that doesn't destroy the continuity of the shows people tune into," Smith said, adding with a smile, "Even we know it can become annoying."
The drive usually features guest appearances by local musicians and even the occasional big name or two.
"I think some people might think of NPR as podcasts and a website, and that's not it," said Cosgrove. "It's a bunch of local stations that pay to become a part of National Public Radio. There never would have been a 'Car Talk' if it hadn't started at a local NPR station. The fact is, you can get other NPR stations on the dial, but we're the only one on Long Island."
"The East End of Long Island is such a unique place. It blows my mind. And it needs its own NPR station," Cosgrove continued. "Between satellite and Pandora and all the other choices out there, you can kind of copy the commercial radio format. But nothing can replace public radio. You just can't replicate it on your own."

This course covers the principles of cellular organization and communication. The emphasis will be on cellular compartmentation, communication within and among cells, and the maintenance of cellular structure. The general features of proteostasis (i.e., protein homeostasis) in normal disease scenarios will be discussed. Protein import and export will include the endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, lysosome and peroxisome as well as vesicular transport and secretion. Signaling within the cell will emphasize G-protein coupled signal transduction, calcium signaling and growth factors. The structural maintenance of cellular morphology will discuss the cytoskeleton, myosin, intermediate filaments and junctional complexes.
Molecular Methods covers methods for studying and manipulating DNA, RNA, and proteins; these range from the most basic to state-of-the-art technologies available in the Baylor College of Medicine Advanced Technology Cores. Nucleic acid topics include DNA manipulation, cloning, preparation of libraries, sequencing, next generation sequencing, genomic profiling, RNA interference and CRISPR/Cas9. Protein topics include protein expression and purification, antibody generation and applications, flow cytometry, methods to detect/visualize protein-protein interactions, proteomics/mass spectrometry, and high throughput methods to study protein/protein and protein/DNA interactions.
This course will discuss the general principles of genetics and its implication for inheritance and variation in living organisms. First, the concepts of the gene and mutation will be introduced and their link to phenotype will be discussed. This is followed by linkage, complementation and non-Mendelian inheritance. The use of genetics as a research tool is illustrated by the molecular basis of phenotype, the dissection of genetic pathways, and the use of genetic techniques in bacteria, yeast and Humans.
This course focuses on introducing genetic approaches offered by different model organisms for solving biological problems, understanding how these models can address problems related to human diseases, and learning technical terms and concepts unique to each system. Yeast genetics will be used to demonstrate how to order genes in a genetic pathway. Classical and modern genetic methods for studying gene function in C. elegans during development will be discussed, as will use of Drosophila genetics to study pattern formation, mutation isolation and mapping and mosaic analysis. Mouse genetics (gene knock-out, generating specific strains by crosses, and the use of transgenic approaches) and human genetics (linkage and pedigree analysis, gene mapping and analysis, and population biology and evolution) will be covered.
This course examines the fundamental concepts in cell cycle regulation, DNA, telomeres and chromatin duplication, chromosome segregation as well as cytokinesis. The course presents principals of cellular response to DNA damage, telomere dysfunction, perturbation in DNA replication and chromosome segregation. The molecular mechanisms of various DNA repair pathways including recombination and their regulation in cell cycle will be discussed. The relevance of cell cycle in growth regulation, development and cancer will be presented.
The Development of a mature organism from a single cell is one of the most fascinating problems in biology. Understanding development can shed light on fundamental processes such as gene regulation and control of the cell cycle, and on translational problems such as the origins and progression of cancer and the possibility of tissue engineering and regeneration to treat human disease. This course of 12 lectures is designed as an introduction to some of the concepts of modern developmental biology.
This is a short course on the biology of cancer. The course objective is to introduce students to basic mechanisms that lead to tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. A history of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and their modern definitions are presented. Current concepts of cancer stem cells, tumor microenvironment, mouse models, and cancer therapeutics are discussed. Class includes lecture and group discussion of key recent papers in which students are expected to participate.
This course focuses on the mechanisms of regulated gene expression with a focus on eukaryotes. The course begins with RNA polymerase and transcriptional regulation through transcription factors, enhancers/repressors, co-transcriptional regulation, and the effects of chromatin structure and histone modification. The details of pre-mRNA processing are covered including the major and minor splicesomes, polyadenylation, alternative splicing, and RNA editing. Mechanisms of regulation by noncoding RNAs including miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs and lncRNAs are also considered. Mechanisms of regulation of translation and protein degradation complete the discussion.
This is an introductory course covering fundamental aspects of modern neuroscience. The lecture series begins with a discussion of neural development, evolution and the resulting organization of the mammalian nervous system, then progresses into the molecular and structural specializations that allow neurons to process and transmit information via electrical current. The course next explores how neurons contribute to autonomic functions that keep us alive and higher brain functions such as learning and memory. The course will close on an examination of how neural dysfunction leads to common neurological disorders such as developmental pathophysiologies, autism, and Alzheimer's disease.
In the field of biology, the immune system is unique in that it crosses all organ boundaries and affects a vast number of processes critical for organismal function and survival. This short course introduces the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of immunity. These include: the innate immune system (molecular "danger" patterns); the acquired immune system (B and T cell receptor gene rearrangement and their effector functions); the cross-talk between innate and acquired immunity; an overview of the principles of immune tolerance exemplified by mechanisms of transplant rejection and cancer immunity; and a discussion of autoimmune diseases and immunotherapies.
Ethics-Year 1 is the first of 4 modules on responsible conduct of research. Sessions will involve students in discussion during lectures, as well as in small groups where case studies will be reviewed. Issues surrounding data collection and documentation, research material and its ownership will be presented, as will responsible authorship, proper citation, plagiarism and copyright. A discussion will also be held for first-year students on what to look for in laboratory rotations goals, selecting mentors and keeping on track towards your degree.
Ethics-Year 2 is the second of 4 modules on responsible conduct of research. The course will discuss research misconduct, including College and federal policies and procedures. It will also review safe practices in the laboratory and the ethics of experiments with animals. This will be followed by small group discussion covering cases studies of scientific misconduct and animal research. A discussion will also be held for second-year students and their mentors on matching goals and expectations of the mentor and student, developing communication channels and using the thesis advisory committee as a resource.
Ethics-Year 3 is the third of 4 modules on responsible conduct of research. The course will discuss writing and review of scientific manuscripts, how grant applications are reviewed including conflicts of interest in the peer-review, and financial conflicts of interest. Collaborative research arrangements, particularly with industry, will be considered along with intellectual property relative to publication and thesis submission. There will be a small group discussion covering case studies associated with these topics. A discussion will also be held for third-year students and their mentors on matching goals and expectations of the mentor and student, evaluating progress towards degree and alternative approaches for risky projects.
Ethics-Year 4 is the fourth of 4 modules on responsible conduct of research. The course will discuss ethical considerations in research involving human subjects, including experiments with human derived materials and informed consent. A discussion on contemporary ethics issues and the scientist as a responsible member of society is included. This will be followed by a small group discussion covering case studies associated with these topics. A discussion will also be held for fourth-year students and their mentors on expectations of mentor and student, setting goals and timelines for graduation, career decisions and planning for the next step.
This course will provide fundamental information on macromolecular structures, techniques used in structure determination, principles of thermodynamics and kinetics, and how this information can be leveraged to design/develop lead compounds to modulate disease targets for clinical relevance with the help of novel cell-based screening techniques.
This course will increase student knowledge and skills in effective scientific writing. Students will learn basic principles of scientific writing that they can put into practice immediately such as selecting high impact words, building effective sentences and paragraphs, and structuring individual sections of a scientific manuscript. The course, which centers on the concept of writing with clarity and brevity, includes exercises to build skills.
This course is designed to guide the student through the process of identifying a research problem, developing specific hypotheses and designing well-controlled experiments to test them. It will be taught in small groups of ~8 students/class. A faculty mentor helps formalize and organize the process, but students will develop their ideas through literature searches and discussion. The terms and discussion will center around the NIH format for grant applications (Specific Aims, Background and Significance, Experimental Design).
This course is intended to train students to read and critically interpret the primary literature. Students will learn what constitutes a well-designed experiment with proper controls. Small groups of students (8-10) will meet twice per week to discuss two assigned journal articles. The first meeting will be without faculty participation while the second meeting will be guided by one or two instructors per group. The first meeting will allow students the opportunity to independently address the scientific merit and design of the assigned readings and formulate their own opinions. During the second meeting, instructors will guide a discussion among students to bring out the salient features of the readings pertinent to the goals of the course.
So you now have a great discovery or idea, how can you protect and market it? In this course we will learn about intellectual property law and technology transfer. We will cover different types of intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc., with an emphasis on genetic and biotechnology patents, both in the USA and internationally. We will also discuss copyrights: their nature, acquisition, and how to avoid infringing them, with an emphasis in instructional activity and educational settings.
The course will offer a broad survey of different topics from a computational perspective: genomics, epigenomics, population genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, structure-function, systems biology, networks, cellular imaging, phylogenomics, pattern discovery, drug design, medical informatics, the microbiome, the cancer genome and neurosystems. The objectives are to become familiar with basic computational challenges in these fields and with the current algorithmic solutions.
Sessions will involve students in discussion during lectures, as well as in small groups where case studies will be reviewed. Students will be mentored on this scientific process (accessing the scientific literature, thinking with the scientific method). Issues surrounding rigor, reproducibility, research material and its ownership will be presented, as will responsible authorship, plagiarism and copyright. Classes will also be devoted to the practical aspects of being a student scientist such as what to look for in laboratory rotations, selecting mentors, coping with stress and deadlines, what to do when experiments don't work, and how to go about career decision-making as well as professional aspects of being a scientist such as funding and advocacy.
Sessions will involve students in discussion during three lectures, as well as in one small group session where case studies will be reviewed. Students will be mentored on research misconduct, focusing on topics such as falsification, fabrication and plagiarism. College and federal policies and procedures for handling misconduct allegations will be reviewed. A session with 2nd year students and their mentors will review expectations between mentor and student. Students will receive training on the ethics of biomedical studies with animals, covering topics such as when can animals be used ethically in research, the importance of avoiding unnecessary pain/suffering and euthanasia and animal use approval. The final session, which will be held in a small group discussion format with faculty facilitators, will focus on case studies involving scientific misconduct and experiments with animals.
Sessions will involve students in discussion during four lectures, as well as in one small group session where case studies will be reviewed. Topics covered during this module include authorship and peer review conflicts of interest and their management and collaboration within academia and with industry. The mentorship lecture will be a meeting with 3rd year students and their mentors. The final large group session will be focused on rigor and reproducibility using interactive case studies, reviewing principles introduced in year 1. Finally, the session conducted in a small group discussion format with faculty facilitator will be utilize case studies to highlight issues relevant to the review of grants and papers, conflicts of interest and collaboration.
Sessions will involve students in discussion during three lectures, as well as in one small group session where case studies will be reviewed. Topics covered during the lecture on research with human subjects will include defining what constitutes research with human subjects versus experiments with human material, confidentiality of medical data and informed consent. The mentorship session will be a meeting with 4th year students and their mentors. The lecture on the scientist as a responsible member of society will address contemporary ethical issues in biomedical research and the environmental and societal impacts of scientific research. Finally, the session conducted in a small group discussion format with faculty facilitator will utilize case studies to highlight issues relevant to research with human subjects and societal impact of research, focused on genetics/genomics, stem cells and neuroethics.
MSTP Reading provides MSTP students early in their combined physician-scientist training with in-depth exposure to critical reading of the current biomedical literature in order to improve their ability to identify and design research strategies for solving current biomedical problems.

Gert Åke Fylking (born 7 October 1945) is a Swedish actor, journalist, politician (Christian Democrat) and host of the radio programme Gert's Värld on Radio 1 101,9 FM, where he is known by the nickname of Fylking Sverige (a handle translatable as Your Man Fylking of Sweden). He has participated in many theatre productions, films and TV programmes. He is married to Tanja Fylking; they have six children and live in Stockholm. Among his friends are Robert Aschberg, Hasse Aro and Lennart Jähkel, and especially the late Christer Pettersson (since their childhood).

Live
Fylking grew up in Stockholm and spent large parts of his youth in the Stockholm Archipelago. He joined the Swidish Forces at the Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) in Gothenburg in 1966. He was then sent as a platoon commander to the "Coastal Hunter" School at Vaxholm's Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 1). He enrolled in the Royal Naval Academy.

Fylking has previously been noted for its association with the nation-wide known criminal and addict Christer Pettersson.

Radio host
Presently, together with Titti Schultz and Roger Nordin, Gert Fylking is anchorman of the show noted above. He is also known for bursting out in a loud sarcastic exclamation ("Äntligen!" - meaning: "Finally!") at the press conference where the name of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature (Gao Xingjian) was announced in 2000 and doing so again in 2001. Nevertheless, he made peace with Horace Engdahl on the radio and ceased his exclamations - however, this tradition he had created  was taken over by others who still continue to exercise it. The friendship with Engdahl has been reported as on-again-off-again (2009).

Controversy
On 17 April 2012, Fylking likened Serbs to Anders Behring Breivik on his show Gert's Värld (Gert's World). While talking about the Norwegian mass murderer, Fylking mentioned that "the world is full of these Breivik characters", and continued: "We've managed to catch many others as well. We caught these Serbians who acted like bloody swine and killed hundreds of thousands of fleeing people. We caught them. But do you think they are judged by the Serbians? No, the Serbians hail them as heroes. So who are the psychopaths? Is it the majority of the Serbian population that are stupid or is it just these people who are convicted of war crimes that are idiots?"

After strong public reaction including a letter of protest to the station by Serbia's ambassador to Stockholm, Dušan Crnogorčević, Fylking apologized for the statements, but was suspended from work indefinitely.

Pakistan has observed the 16th "Youm-e-Takbeer" anniversary of nuclear weapons test on May 28th, 1998. This day is celebrated as a national day that made Pakistan a member of an exclusive club of less than ten Nuclear States.
Ironically enough, in the West, Pakistan faced huge criticism, and being Muslim state, the nuclear tests were called an 'Islamic Bomb', on the other hand, a wave of joy and exultation ran through the Muslim world. The attainment of nuclear weapons gave the nation a new confidence ensuring the security of the homeland on equality and deterrence basis with its perceived enemy.
It is imperative to highlight the driving agent behind such a crucial and highly-criticized decision of conducting the nuclear weapons test by Pakistan. It is India who had actually started this race of acquisition of nuclear weapons in the region. It was India who actually upset the balance of power in the region. Despite, Pakistan long claiming that it did possess nuclear technology but did not intend to test the weapons, circumstances nudged Pakistan to test nuclear weapons for deterrence and the balancing of power. No country can overlook its security concerns and issues.
Pakistan has fought three wars and has many border collisions with its immediate neighbor India since its inception. Furthermore, India ironically designed its Pakistan centric foreign policy to prevail in its supremacy in the region and also lobbied with developed nations.
It's an open secret that numerous trade and military sanctions were introduced to impose on Pakistan in that decade. The US did indeed impose a few on Pakistan. But the government of Pakistan took a hard decision of not giving in to international pressure and triggered the button of the nuclear weapons test to keep intact the sovereignty and security of Pakistan. Local and foreign observers acknowledge that without being a nuclear power, the country might have suffered a serious setback when its eastern neighbour amassed troops on the border in a threatening posture in 2002.
The history of nuclear weapons in the region can be traced backed to 1974 when New Delhi showed its intent to become a nuclear power. During the same time period, it exploded an atomic device, a weapon of mass destruction and named it "Smiling Buddha". After that incident, the then prominent leader of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, commissioned a team of experts to begin preparations to respond on the basis of "even if the nation has to eat grass" to achieve it. Fortunately, succeeding rulers also understood the need and didn't prove to be an obstacle in the way of achieving the target of becoming nuclear power.
Pakistan is surrounded by two nuclear neighbours and that's the basic reason that motivated Pakistan for nuclear tests, and that was the best timely decision by the nation. As there was a need to maintain balance of power and necessary deterrence in the region keeping in mind the ever untrustworthy relations between India and Pakistan.
After the bold decision of conducting a nuclear weapons test, Pakistan faced isolation at an international stage. The facts were not highlighted by the international media particularly in the context of ever-existing threat to Pakistan from its conventional rival India.
New Delhi's shrewd policies, particularly of acting as a hostile upper riparian and its adamant stand on Kashmir, cannot by any stretch of imagination be termed friendly. The achievement of status of nuclear power has unified the people of Pakistan.
Finally this is a day of pride and revival, and celebration of this day refers to acknowledgement of all the scientists' efforts for making Pakistan security unconquered and unchallenged.
The day of May 28th, 1998 was a remarkable day not only alone for Pakistan but also for the whole region as after that threat of unbalanced power in the region lost its existence. May Pakistan being nuclear power would be able to play its due role in maintaining peace in the world. Long Live Pakistan!

However, his endless rants about a game he is currently obsessed with can get tiresome from time to time.
So, I should do it more often, is what you're saying
In all seriousness though, the reason I do that is because a good number of people on my friends list play the same games I do but also are the sort that like to constantly talk about them a lot. Instead of just always responding to questions about such-and-such game (which is what was happening, and I'm not so good with direct conversation), I started just rambling about them. Particularly when it comes to any game that I'm playing yet others cant play (currently the SF version of 20XX).
Something that's occurred to me though: Those long posts are always displayed AS long posts. I've gotten used to this on my end, because ALOT of people on my list post frequent (very, very frequent) and long reviews of various games, but you'd think Steam would have been set up to display them in a smaller box with "read more" at the bottom, rather than in this giant, rambling heap. I don't understand why they didn't do this. As much as the stuff in my feed can be interesting, it can be obnoxious to scroll through it at a decent pace because Steam cant be bothered to just set it up in a non-stupid way. At least screenshots are organized a bit better. EVERYONE on my friends list tends to produce about 10 zillion screenshots per second.
At least the damn thing is useful though even if it's got a few screwball issues. Unlike the freaking store. Ugh. Remember when it used to not suck? Those were the days....
As for the Factorio / FCE bit, that's an interesting distinction between the types of grind each game uses. Factorio sounds a lot more like the Minecraft/Terraria sort of grind: You CAN do this thing here in this way, but hey, if you want to build this gizmo over here, you'll have another option for doing it. Or here's another option over in this other direction. Or just go punch skeletons for 20 minutes.
FCE though.... I tried that, and honestly, I just couldn't get into it. It didn't have that sort of "freedom" that I rather expected of it. Which sounds pretty much exactly like what you're saying there. I don't know why they'd do things to artificially lengthen the game, really. Games like that one, you don't NEED to do that to. The freeform gameplay extends the length indefinitely, for many of these.
I really need to get around to playing Factorio myself. I bought it awhile ago but then totally forgot it was there. Be nice if that'd stop happening.

Meant as using me as a guide what they should buy.... or using "steam" friends for such purposes... find that kinda goes against the uses of the activity feeds (which is already spammy enough with announcements from curators etc.)
I see, your objection is that you are being used to sell games? So you unfriended everyone because you feel your game activity is being exploited for sales purposes?
My friends list is quite small, but it's filled with people I actually play games with.
I guess that's my core problem, I don't play anything that's on Steam in MP, and I am hardcore NOT coop player. I dislike binding my own enjoyment of a game to someones else playstyle HUGELY. Add to that I worked on a few games and uploaded to workshop and you get a true first world problem. ^^

And see, as a consumer and as a developer, I have to say I side with Steam on this one. Obviously I agree that people should be able to opt out, since involuntary-anything tends to be bad, but:
- As a consumer, I have various people I know (like you guys) with tastes that are varying degrees of similarity to mine. Having your opinions front and center, and/or non-opinion things like "he played a lot of this" is something that would make my "job" as a consumer trying to find stuff in a cluttered store/world a lot easier. One way or another, even if the store was better curated, it's word of mouth that would help me to find the hidden gems that I might enjoy.
- As a developer, one of the biggest things is that there's so much noise in the system right now that it's hard for players to even talk about things with one another if they aren't actively trying to promote something. I don't go around telling all the people how much I've been enjoying Everything, or The Turing Test, or whatever. But people in my friends feed will see that I've been playing it, and that at least can give them an idea to look at them more carefully if they know they enjoy things similar to me. This is basically "passive word of mouth," and let's face it -- in a world that is as overwhelmed with content as the world is, that's the only way that people will hear about all the various things.
From another vantage, I much prefer that approach to Amazon's "we saw you bought a fridge, so let us try to sell you refrigerators for the next year." Or google's "we're watching everything and trying to match you to stuff."
Those are much more inhuman, much more intrusive, and much more algorithm-based. I dunno, that's just me.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games? Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!
I guess my real problem is easily defined, friends on steam, meatworld interactions aside, come from PVP or COOP, they don't come from games I want (offline SP) or for the reasons I care about games (progression, story, emergent gameplay (ie, KSP, Factorio, and to some extend AI War). So this put me in the odd position that nothing anyone on my friends list plays (except 1 person) interested me in the slightest. And I don't need a steam friends list to find gems like Factorio or KSP, what I need is a way to discover games that interest me for the above mentioned things, STORY and PROGRESSION ;P
I wouldn't have purged my friends list if the recommendation (and activity feed spam) had been useful to me.
If someone is hardcore focused on SP experiences, the chances of meeting that person in a MP game are ZERO. And so they will never be in your activity feed on Steam unless you have some absurd luck. It's another good example of a "filter bubble" imo. Only this filter bubble is ruining developers, because when you built your buying habbits on this, you are buying based on meta-filter-bubbles.
As a developer this should imo scare you, as it means that if your game doesn't cater to the MP/COOP crowd it will most likely not be included into that filter bubble.
Got it, that makes sense. Most of my friends come from people who I've encountered on forums and whatnot. I've played multiplayer with only one of my non-meatspace steam friends.
There's a whole lot about how people do or do not find games that scares me, for sure. How things are being surfaced to people is broken on a ton of levels.
I actually like to play more Multiplayer games than I do. More in the direction of "co-op". I do play a lot of Multiplayer games but one is Dota 2, which none of my friends want to play with me anymore (I'm a terrible person) and the other is Mabinogi, which none of my friends wants to play with me anymore (have I mentioned that I'm a terrible person?). well, in terms of mabinogi it's more of "We are not interested in it currently/anymore". Bah, and when it finally got new interesting stuff, can't beat that new dungeon alone.
Anyway, I like to team up with someone and, considering what types of games I play, most of the time I like to plan ahead with them, discuss about the game etc. As you mentioned, there are people that want to do their thing and don't like to play the game another way. had these moments too, many of them, these types of Steam friends didn't last long honestly. I'm the same as you in that term, I don't like to pushed in one direction. Ironically I can be really pushy in many cases. The friends I have now, that soemtimes still play with me (really rarely) however are more of the "Just do the planning and we follow" stuff, so, I have to do all the planning myself mostly. I'm a little straneg in that regard, I want others to contribute to plannign but I also want it to have my own ideas in it. Which soemtimes does not work in specific games.
I stopped playing Dungeon Defenders 2 multiplayer, because evry time you go there, there is always that one guy who builds everything himself and if you try to add your own stuff, he will quickly spam the chat or ping you to remove it and also demand to hand him all your building mana. In that regard, DD2 is really toxic and it kind of ruined the game for me. Sanctum is more open minded about this.
I also like story about video games. A lot. I know there are some people here (calling out Misery again) that don't like stories at all in video games and just want the game for the game(play). I like to have both in games but I also liek to have games, that focus more on the story as on the actual gameplay. But I also don't want them to have only story, as Visual Novels for an example, because I could just read a book that way. Text based adventures are sometimes okay, like Sorcery, which is almost entirely story but features so many different decision paths, that you will barely notice that you just read a book.
The problem with friends, in terms of story is, spoilers. This is the one thing I hate the most. It doesn't even have to be somethign about the story, even stuff like important late gameplay elements cpuld go on my nerves. I rage on this stuff, when someones shows me somethign I didn't know before and wanted to find out myself. Screenshots are the worst in that regard, it's a literal picture that shows me what will happen int he game. There is a spoiler option for a reason!
So in that regard I have to be careful, what my friends play. Som of them don't even think about it, when they post this stuff.
I know there are some people here (calling out Misery again) that don't like stories at all in video games and just want the game for the game(play).
At least this means you don't have to worry about me ruining storylines for you. Games I play tend not to have any, after all. Unless "Blast off and strike the evil Bydo Empire!!!!!" counts as a "story".
Well, technically 20XX has a story, but A: I have no idea what it is, and B: despite that, I made a point of not revealing a couple of really specific things during my general ranting. Some things are super obvious as potential spoilers, even to me.
This sounds more than a little annoying.
I used to play MMOs myself, actually, but stopped partly for this sort of reason. There's too many commanding jerks out there. Which becomes even worse if the person doesn't actually know what they're doing.
Though also, there's this reason:
I dislike binding my own enjoyment of a game to someones else playstyle HUGELY.
Yeah, cant freaking stand that. Is why I don't do team games as a rule. Fighting games, sure, because those are one-on-one... I don't need to rely on or work with anyone.
....or WAIT for anyone. I hate that even more.
Draco18s
Resident Velociraptor
Dungeon Defenders 1 was like that too. The community has always been ridiculously toxic.
I have a screenshot around somewhere where one of the forum global mods (not a Trendy employee, but a volunteer) intentionally misquoted me (an instant ban-level level TOS violation) in order to then insult my intelligence and/or observation skills.
http://www.boardraptorgames.com/
While we trail off into story, for me it's another reason that I dislike EA games... I made the colossal mistake of playing Divinity: Original Sins beta about 9 times (9 major beta releases) and when it finally released I was so sick and tired of everything in that starting area that it severely hampered my enjoyment... I feel like I made that same mistake with Subnautica btw... and the same for progression based building games when the progression gets added piece by piece, I often lose any enjoyment out of being locked out of my previous progression again and again and again ~.~

However, the addition of smart control and monitoring systems and the ability to aggregate large numbers of connected solar-plus-storage systems means that for solutions and equipment providers like Israel-headquartered SolarEdge, prolific supplier to markets including the US, UK and Australia, there is a new economic paradigm emerging.
Lior Handelsman, one of the smart energy company's founders and Vice President for marketing and product strategy, spoke with Energy-Storage.news at last week's Intersolar Europe/ees Europe trade show for an on-camera interview.
Handelsman says that while he would not describe this year's wave of new technologies at the exhibition as a "next generation" of storage systems as such, the market is now demanding that systems offer greater levels of functionality, control and monitoring, essentially "additional software and analytic layers that provide a more mature level of control for storage".
We also discussed how these additional layers can add new economic value for home PV systems, benefiting the householder, but also, crucially, utilities and grid networks.
"People now understand that there is more value in a solar-plus-storage system like this than just managing your home energy. If you're a utility company and you have thousands of solar systems in an area you can use them to defer investing in the grid, to defer from buying expensive energy from peakers and power stations. You just need a technological solution for that. The utility cannot be expected to control 10,000 systems, calculate and solve how much energy to take from each one of them to keep the balance and then dispatch them," says Handelsman.

Lennon/Ono and "RAPE" in Highgate Cemetery
I have written the cover story in the new Uncut about John Lennon in 1969. This was a pivotal year for Lennon, as he embraced Yoko Ono's concept of experimental autobiographical artistic experiences and prepared for the break up with the Beatles.
Ono and Lennon were endlessly busy through 1969, releasing weird albums – Life With The Lions and Wedding Album – and forming the Plastic Ono Band. Lennon played free jazz in Cambridge University, sent acorns to world leaders, got married, sat in bags, took heroin and released several hit singles, including "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", "Give Peace A Chance" and "Cold Turkey".
One of the lesser known results of this creative outpouring was the film, "RAPE". Sean Ono Lennon believes this to be: "A profound piece, especially in the context of the Me Too movement. It's not designed to be entertaining, it's a concept, a metaphor and an experience."
"RAPE" was commissioned by Austrian TV and filmed by Nic Knowland, a cinematographer working for World In Action. He told me, "An Austrian gentleman called me and said John and Yoko wanted me to work on a project. I said okay and went to meet them in hospital – I think Yoko had a miscarriage – and they explained what they wanted from this film. It was to reflect their sense of being hounded by the press. They wanted me to get a small crew and then follow anybody in the street until they screamed or broke down."
For the next couple of days, Knowland filmed around North Kensington, shooting a lot of footage but never reaching the point Ono and Lennon wanted. The producer than gave Knowland the address of an Austrian woman who was in London and had outstayed her VISA. Eva Majlata was the sister of a friend of the producer and Knowland was never sure how much she was told about the project.
For the next three days he followed her around London – Highgate Cemetery, Chelsea Bridge – ignoring her attempts at conversation and keeping the camera focused on her face. "Then on the third day we were given the key to her apartment," says Knowland. "That's pretty full on and ends with me being very aggressive with the camera, putting my foot on the phone so she can't call the police. I felt we had pushed it as far as we could."
You can watch the whole film on You Tube.
The finished film is extremely unsettling, as Majlata is essentially stalked for 90 minutes by a silent camera to her increasing discomfort and eventual alarm. We see everything from the camera's perspective, making us complicit in the action. For Lennon and Ono, this was about fame but it's also about everyday street harassment – which, as Sean Ono Lennon says, make it very appropriate today.
What makes it even more alarming was Majlata's after story. The film landed her a couple of modelling gigs with Vogue but she then "got into a spot of bother" as Knowland put it, and moved back to Austria where, as Eva Rhodes, she opened an animal sanctuary. She then got involved in various legal tussles and was eventually murdered in suspicious and horrendous circumstances. One of the themes of Lennon/Ono's 1969 was how life inspired art, and Majlata's experience was the reverse – art became life.
"RAPE" is little known now, but of all the projects Lennon and Ono worked on in 1969, this was the most powerful. There are a couple of articles about it that are worth reading including here and here.

Do think this is cruel irresponsible and gruesome, and it's made me feel differently about John and Yoko.


Glyburide Tablets, USP contain glyburide, USP, which is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Glyburide, USP is a white, crystalline compound, formulated as Glyburide Tablets, USP of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg strengths for oral administration. Inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch (corn starch), sodium starch glycolate (type A potato) and magnesium stearate. In addition, the 2.5 mg contains FD&C yellow No. 6 and the 5 mg contains D&C yellow No. 10, and FD&C blue No. 1. The chemical name for glyburide is 1-[[p-[2-(5-chloro-o-anisamido)ethyl]phenyl]-sulfonyl]-3-cyclohexylurea and the molecular weight is 493.99. The structural formula is represented below.
Some patients who are initially responsive to oral hypoglycemic drugs, including Glyburide Tablets may become unresponsive or poorly responsive over time. Alternatively, Glyburide Tablets may be effective in some patients who have become unresponsive to one or more other sulfonylurea drugs.
Single dose studies with Glyburide Tablets in normal subjects demonstrate significant absorption of glyburide within one hour, peak drug levels at about four hours, and low but detectable levels at twenty-four hours. Mean serum levels of glyburide, as reflected by areas under the serum concentration-time curve, increase in proportion to corresponding increases in dose. Multiple dose studies with Glyburide Tablets in diabetic patients demonstrate drug level concentration-time curves similar to single dose studies, indicating no buildup of drug in tissue depots. The decrease of glyburide in the serum of normal healthy individuals is biphasic; the terminal half-life is about 10 hours. In single dose studies in fasting normal subjects, the degree and duration of blood glucose lowering is proportional to the dose administered and to the area under the drug level concentration-time curve. The blood glucose lowering effect persists for 24 hours following single morning doses in nonfasting diabetic patients. Under conditions of repeated administration in diabetic patients, however, there is no reliable correlation between blood drug levels and fasting blood glucose levels. A one year study of diabetic patients treated with Glyburide Tablets showed no reliable correlation between administered dose and serum drug level.
Glyburide Tablets are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The administration of oral hypoglycemic drugs has been reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality as compared to treatment with diet alone or diet plus insulin. This warning is based on the study conducted by the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP), a long-term prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. The study involved 823 patients who were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups.
UGDP reported that patients treated for 5 to 8 years with diet plus a fixed dose of tolbutamide (1.5 grams per day) had a rate of cardiovascular mortality approximately 2½ times that of patients treated with diet alone. A significant increase in total mortality was not observed, but the use of tolbutamide was discontinued based on the increase in cardiovascular mortality, thus limiting the opportunity for the study to show an increase in overall mortality. Despite controversy regarding the interpretation of these results, the findings of the UGDP study provide an adequate basis for this warning. The patient should be informed of the potential risks and advantages of Glyburide Tablets and of alternative modes of therapy.
There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with Glyburide Tablets or any other anti-diabetic drug.
All sulfonylureas including Glyburide Tablets are capable of producing severe hypoglycemia. Proper patient selection and dosage and instructions are important to avoid hypoglycemic episodes. Renal or hepatic insufficiency may cause elevated drug levels of glyburide and the latter may also diminish gluconeogenic capacity, both of which increase the risk of serious hypoglycemic reactions. Elderly, debilitated or malnourished patients, and those with adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, are particularly susceptible to the hypoglycemic action of glucose-lowering drugs. Hypoglycemia may be difficult to recognize in the elderly and in people who are taking beta-adrenergic blocking drugs. Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur when caloric intake is deficient, after severe or prolonged exercise, when alcohol is ingested, or when more than one glucose lowering drug is used. The risk of hypoglycemia may be increased with combination therapy.
When a patient stabilized on any diabetic regimen is exposed to stress such as fever, trauma, infection or surgery, a loss of control may occur. At such times it may be necessary to discontinue Glyburide Tablets and administer insulin.
The effectiveness of any hypoglycemic drug, including Glyburide Tablets, in lowering blood glucose to a desired level decreases in many patients over a period of time which may be due to progression of the severity of diabetes or to diminished responsiveness to the drug. This phenomenon is known as secondary failure, to distinguish it from primary failure in which the drug is ineffective in an individual patient when Glyburide Tablets is first given. Adequate adjustment of dose and adherence to diet should be assessed before classifying a patient as a secondary failure.
Treatment of patients with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency with sulfonylurea agents can lead to hemolytic anemia. Because Glyburide Tablets belongs to the class of sulfonylurea agents, caution should be used in patients with G6PD deficiency and a non-sulfonylurea alternative should be considered. In postmarketing reports, hemolytic anemia has also been reported in patients who did not have known G6PD deficiency.
Patients should be informed of the potential risks and advantages of Glyburide Tablets and of alternative modes of therapy. They also should be informed about the importance of adherence to dietary instructions, of a regular exercise program, and of regular testing of urine and/or blood glucose.
In initiating treatment for type 2 diabetes, diet should be emphasized as the primary form of treatment. Caloric restriction and weight loss are essential in the obese diabetic patient. Proper dietary management alone may be effective in controlling the blood glucose and symptoms of hyperglycemia. The importance of regular physical activity should also be stressed, and cardiovascular risk factors should be identified and corrective measures taken where possible. Use of Glyburide Tablets or other antidiabetic medications must be viewed by both the physician and patient as a treatment in addition to diet and not as a substitution or as a convenient mechanism for avoiding dietary restraint. Furthermore, loss of blood glucose control on diet alone may be transient, thus requiring only short-term administration of Glyburide Tablets or other antidiabetic medications. Maintenance or discontinuation of Glyburide Tablets or other antidiabetic medications should be based on clinical judgment using regular clinical and laboratory evaluations.
The hypoglycemic action of sulfonylureas may be potentiated by certain drugs including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and other drugs that are highly protein bound, salicylates, sulfonamides, chloramphenicol, probenecid, coumarins, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and beta adrenergic blocking agents. When such drugs are administered to a patient receiving Glyburide Tablets the patient should be observed closely for hypoglycemia. When such drugs are withdrawn from a patient receiving Glyburide Tablets the patient should be observed closely for loss of control.
An increased risk of liver enzyme elevations was observed in patients receiving glyburide concomitantly with bosentan. Therefore concomitant administration of Glyburide Tablets and bosentan is contraindicated.
Certain drugs tend to produce hyperglycemia and may lead to loss of control. These drugs include the thiazides and other diuretics, corticosteroids, phenothiazines, thyroid products, estrogens, oral contraceptives, phenytoin, nicotinic acid, sympathomimetics, calcium channel blocking drugs, and isoniazid. When such drugs are administered to a patient receiving Glyburide Tablets, the patient should be closely observed for loss of control. When such drugs are withdrawn from a patient receiving Glyburide Tablets, the patient should be observed closely for hypoglycemia.
A drug-drug interaction study conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes evaluated the steady-state pharmacokinetics of glyburide (5 mg/day) alone and concomitantly with topiramate (150 mg/day). There was a 22% decrease in Cmax and a 25% reduction in AUC24 for glyburide during topiramate administration. Systemic exposure (AUC) of the active metabolites, 4-trans-hydroxy-glyburide (M1) and 3-cishydroxyglyburide (M2), was also reduced by 13% and 15%, and Cmax was reduced by 18% and 25%, respectively. The steady-state pharmacokinetics of topiramate were unaffected by concomitant administration of glyburide.
Prolonged severe hypoglycemia (4 to 10 days) has been reported in neonates born to mothers who were receiving a sulfonylurea drug at the time of delivery. This has been reported more frequently with the use of agents with prolonged half-lives. If Glyburide Tablets are used during pregnancy, it should be discontinued at least two weeks before the expected delivery date.
Cholestatic jaundice and hepatitis may occur rarely which may progress to liver failure; Glyburide Tablets should be discontinued if this occurs.
Allergic skin reactions, eg, pruritus, erythema, urticaria, and morbilliform or maculopapular eruptions occurred in 1.5% of treated patients during clinical trials. These may be transient and may disappear despite continued use of Glyburide Tablets; if skin reactions persist, the drug should be discontinued.
Hepatic porphyria and disulfiram-like reactions have been reported with sulfonylureas; however, hepatic porphyria has not been reported with Glyburide Tablets and disulfiram-like reactions have been reported very rarely.
There is no fixed dosage regimen for the management of diabetes mellitus with Glyburide Tablets. In addition to the usual monitoring of urinary glucose, the patient's blood glucose must also be monitored periodically to determine the minimum effective dose for the patient; to detect primary failure, i.e., inadequate lowering of blood glucose at the maximum recommended dose of medication; and to detect secondary failure, i.e., loss of adequate blood glucose lowering response after an initial period of effectiveness. Glycosylated hemoglobin levels may also be of value in monitoring the patient's response to therapy.
Short-term administration of Glyburide Tablets may be sufficient during periods of transient loss of control in patients usually controlled well on diet.
No exact dosage relationship exists between Glyburide Tablets and the other oral hypoglycemic agents. Although patients may be transferred from the maximum dose of other sulfonylureas, the maximum starting dose of 5 mg of Glyburide Tablets should be observed. A maintenance dose of 5 mg of Glyburide Tablets provides approximately the same degree of blood glucose control as 250 to 375 mg chlorpropamide, 250 to 375 mg tolazamide, 500 to 750 mg acetohexamide, or 1,000 to 1,500 mg tolbutamide.
When transferring patients receiving more than 40 units of insulin daily, they may be started on a daily dose of Glyburide Tablets 5 mg concomitantly with a 50% reduction in insulin dose. Progressive withdrawal of insulin and increase of Glyburide Tablets in increments of 1.25 to 2.5 mg every 2 to 10 days is then carried out. During this conversion period when both insulin and Glyburide Tablets are being used, hypoglycemia may occur. During insulin withdrawal, patients should test their urine for glucose and acetone at least three times daily and report results to their physician. The appearance of persistent acetonuria with glycosuria indicates that the patient is a Type I diabetic who requires insulin therapy.
Glyburide Tablets are not recommended for use in pregnancy or for use in pediatric patients.
The scoring on Glyburide Tablets, USP is functional.
Store at 20º to 25ºC (68º to 77ºF); excursions permitted between 15º to 30ºC (59º to 86ºF) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature.] Dispensed in well closed containers with safety closures. Keep container tightly closed.

Q: Bootstrap two equal height div inside a div I am new to bootstrap and trying.
I need a pattern as follows

How ca we split the div's vertically with two equal divs ?
In horizondal we can do that by col-md-6.
Thanks in advance

A:
Bootstrap mainly focuses on WIDTH, thus to my knowledge there are
  no special classes to make two div's of equal height.

You can do it by specifying height:/* value in px */; in the
's styling !

 /*Grid Layout*/

/*row cuts of 15px margin of left&right*/

Now the CSS :
.testdiv{
height:400px;/*or some other value*/
}

A class selector is used to affect the styling of both div's at the same time !

A: add two div as follows

.col-md-12

.col-md-12

Some css code to include

.mainbg{
      background:grey;
      padding:10px; }
.div1{
      background:red; }
.div1, .div2{
      height:100px;
      line-height:100px;
      font-size:50px; }
.div2{
         text-align:center;
       }

A: You could use css tables to achieve equal-height rows
Bootply
Markup

DIV1

DIV2

(Relevant) CSS
.container-fluid
{
  height: 200px; /* whatever you need */
  display:table;
  width:100%;
}
.one,.two
{
  display:table-cell;
  width:100%;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
.row {
  display:table-row;
}

A: Depending on your browser support you could always use CSS3 Flexbox
I did a quick demo here of what you're after.
http://codepen.io/tom-maton/pen/LCbIx
.container {
  align-content: stretch;
  background-color: gray;
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -moz-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  -ms-flex-flow: row wrap;
  -webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
  flex-flow: row wrap;
  height: 350px;
  margin: 20px auto;
  padding: 15px;
  width: 750px;
}

All the flexbox settings are set on the containing element and it does the rest from there on in.
A good article about FlexBox can be found here http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

"Simon really understood what we had in mind and went above and beyond in helping us realize our goals. We were blown away by the quality of the final delivery!" Salesfilm Voice Over, 2021
Sam BeattieMarketing Lead, CATCHBOX
In my 15+ years of working with voice over artists for various forms of media, I've come across few as complete as Simon. I've worked with him multiple times and always came away impressed. He's got an actors- and a writers- background, so he's able to grasp the situation from both angles. And thoroughly. When I booked him for the narration of a fairly difficult to read book, he picked up on all the subtleties and dove into the mind of the characters by analyzing them with a specific form of archetypization. This method was helpful not only to Simon for bringing the characters to life, but also to me in terms of directing. We went through the script together and discussed the mood and setting. When I had to make some last-minute-changes, I could bounce ideas off of Simon. You can see he's well versed in writing screenplays. He made some pretty terrific suggestions himself, which are all in the script and recording now. Needless to say, Simon came into the recording well prepared. He's quick, efficient, he's honest and he's got one of the finest timbres in the industry: deep and gravelly, yet with quite the range. He made the baddies sound menacing and sensible and sensual characters believable. It's easy to go over the top with this. This never happened to Simon. Plus, he's a really great conversationalist. Recording with Simon is as productive as it is humanly fulfilling.

'Gotham City Sirens' on Hold, 'Bright 2' Still in the Works Says David Ayer [TCA 2020]
Posted on Wednesday, January 8th, 2020 by Fred Topel
David Ayer was on a Television Critics Association panel for the new Fox drama Deputy, which he executive produces and for which he has directed episodes. Deputy is in Ayer's traditional wheelhouse of cop movies, with Stephen Dorff playing a deputy who becomes sheriff of Los Angeles after the sheriff suddenly dies. It airs Thursday nights on Fox.
Ayer's last two movies, Suicide Squad and Bright, both spawned follow-ups. Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn featuring Margot Robbie's title character comes out next month and a Bright sequel is in development. James Gunn is directing the next Suicide Squad movie and we haven't heard about Ayer's proposed Gotham City Sirens Harley Quinn spinoff lately, so we asked him after the Deputy panel.
'Gotham City Sirens' is officially on hold
After the box office success of Suicide Squad and the breakout of Robbie's Harley Quinn character, Ayer began developing a Gotham City Sirens movie. The film would have seen Harley Quinn lead a team of female supervillains, which may have included Poison Ivy. Birds of Prey teams her with Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez).
After the negative critical reaction to Suicide Squad and other DCEU films, Warner Brothers changed directions on their attempt to build a shared universe like Marvel. When we interviewed Ayer for Bright, he avoided Gotham Sirens questions. Now, he confirms the film is on hold.
"No, I think it's on pause," Ayer said.
That would make sense. If Birds of Prey is a hit, Warner Brothers will likely want a sequel, tying up Margot Robbie for the foreseeable future. And whatever happens in Birds of Prey may preclude Ayer's plans for Gotham City Sirens.
David Ayer could have done The Suicide Squad
James Gunn took over the Suicide Squad sequel during his hiatus from Marvel. Normally in Hollywood, the director of a movie has first look rights on a potential sequel. They don't always exercise it, so we also asked Ayer if he had a chance to do a sequel to his first movie, and he said it was his choice to do something else.
"I had a chance to do it, but I went another way," Ayer said.
Ayer says he's not done with comic book movies, though. Whether they involve Harley Quinn or the Suicide Squad, Ayer expects to make another comic book adaptation.
"I love the world creation of it and I love the power of the IP and the fans," Ayer said. "It's dangerous. It's like juggling chainsaws, but I am drawn to it and it's definitely an arena I'll play in again."
'Bright 2' could happen soon
2017's Bright was one of Netflix's first major plays at original movies. The $90 million Will Smith visual effects film was also criticized for exhibiting Netflix's underdeveloped narratives on a grand scale. However, Netflix announced a sequel before Bright even premiered and Ayer says that is still in the works.
"Still in development," Ayer said. "We're working on it so hopefully we'll be able to mount that up soon."
Smith played a human cop partnered with an orc (Joel Edgerton) in a modern day Los Angeles filled with fantastical creatures. Ayer indicated the sequel would take advantage of the world-building established but not fully explored in the first film.
"It's a great opportunity for all of us to explore the world more," Ayer said. "I think people felt like there was a lot of doorways to explore. People were like, 'Tell us about the dragon. Tell us about this, the history.' So it's a very rich world and I think we're going to drill down some more."
If Ayer is hearing from Bright fans, that backs up reports that millions of people did watch Bright and they weren't all critical.
The Dirty Dozen could be next for David Ayer
David Ayer is also developing an adaptation of The Dirty Dozen. The original ensemble war movie starred Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, John Cassavetes, Richard Jaeckel, George Kennedy, Trini Lopez, Ralph Meeker, Robert Ryan, Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland.
One could imagine an Ocean's 11 style cast of A-listers teaming up for another mission. Ayer says his latest script could get the green light.
"I'm working on a script right now," Ayer said. "So pending a great story that the studio likes, it's on."
