Its all about Empowered Women this March at SM Supermalls | Where is Ed Uy?
2017 was a tough year for a lot of women.
In the US, the year saw an escalation of attacks on women, including efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, undermine women's legal and reproductive rights and slash essential health benefits. There were also threats to issues women care about: protections for children, civil rights and the environment, just to name a few. And then came the explosive epidemic of reports of sexual harassment and assault, exposing just how pervasive this problem is for women in all sectors of society. Even the glitz of Hollywood could not overpower the voice of the many victims who shared their stories.
But despite all these challenges they faced, there is an upside: Women are Rising.
And they cannot be silenced anymore.
In honor of this relentless spirit, SM Supermalls, the biggest mall chain in the country celebrated Women's Day last March 8.
Recognizing the countless achievements of women throughout history and across nations, the retail giant has geared up new and exciting activities for women to experience not only during Women's Day but throughout the entire month of March.
This season, SM Supermalls and SM WOMAN invite mallgoers to an extra special Women's Month with SM's World of Women celebration in 68 malls nationwide. Announced at a media launch in SM Mall of Asia, SM unboxes fun and exciting activities to thank and empower all women to shop and enjoy great deals on their favorite items!
Fun events this month include the much-awaited Women's Sale on all Wednesdays of March, where ladies can get up to 70% off on exclusive deals and fabulous finds every week of the month.
Beauty junkies can go on a spree for discounts and bundles on must-haves, and can also indulge in pampering promos from beauty and wellness stores.
There is also the Ladies' Wellness Camp for tips and hacks from style gurus on wellness, nutrition, and fitness.
SM Supermalls will also have digital promos for everyone who want to make a mark in the wonderful #WorldofWomenAtSM!

VR WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY FEATURE
Heat-feeling controllers and VR football: The best of HTC Vive X Demo Day
The tech that could one day be heading to your VR headset
By Husain Sumra @hsumra
By Husain Sumra
@hsumra
HTC's Vive X accelerator program sees a host of startups completing a series of challenges to help shape the future of VR on both software and hardware fronts.
It's already helped bring to life some impressive tech including TPCast, which created an add-on that allowed Vive headsets to go fully wireless. There was also 7invensun's eye-tracking add-ons, which brought real-time eye tracking to the Vive for the first time.
It's a four-month program in four cities across the world that has $100 million in funding, Marc Metis, global head of Vive X, told Wareable the goal isn't to just enrich the Vive ecosystem either, it's to expand the entire VR and AR ecosystems.
Essential reading: The state of play on Vive year two
Metis says the accelerator has a lower rate of acceptance - 5% - than most Ivy League schools, helping fund 60 companies thus far. The goal, says Matis, is to get these companies to the next level as quickly as possible so that they can shoot to the front of the pack in their chosen segment.
"These companies are at the cutting edge of the cutting edge because they're making incredible advancements in lots of very, very specific areas of expertise that no one's seen before in VR," Metis said.
So what future TPCast's and 7invensun's could emerge from Vive X? Which companies could change the way we experience AR and VR? I got a chance to check out some of the new tech in the second batch of companies admitted to the program. These are the best of the 27 companies showcased.
ThermoReal
Virtual reality is supposed to transport you to a new world and become totally immersive, but at the end of the day you still know that you're holding a plastic controller in your hand. Sure, most VR controllers are well formed to be as immersive as possible, but they still feel the same.
Read this: Best HTC Vive games
TEGway's ThermoReal controllers are looking to change that. They're able to simulate cold and hot temperatures. For instance, in my demo I was piloting a fighter jet. When I pulled up and sent the plane into the heavens, overworking its engines, I could feel the controller getting hot - just like the engines. If I pushed down and sent the plane spiralling toward earth, its engines off and the cold atmosphere overtaking my jet, I could feel the controller getting ice cold.
The technology, which uses thermoelectric panels, can fit into a host of controller types, from joysticks to VR controllers to controllers for smartphones. Brian H. Yoo, vice chairman of TEGway, told Wareable that the controllers will soon be able to simulate pain (it'll feel kind of like a pinch).
Opaque Space's Earthlight
You remember how terrifying floating through space looked in Gravity? Well, Opaque Space's Earthlight does a good job of replicating that. It's a narrative first-person VR game developed in collaboration with NASA, which makes it incredibly authentic and immersive.
You play an astronaut going out and doing astronaut-y things, like checking on modules and replacing cables. You have to make sure you're always holding on to something, otherwise you might float off and die - trust me, it happened to me. It may sound a little monotonous, but everything feels so authentic that you could probably use it to train potential astronauts. And, well, that's exactly what's happening. NASA is using Earthlight to help train astronauts, and Opaque hopes to do the same when commercial flights to space finally become a reality.
The only thing that was missing is being able to play Earthlight without your legs on the ground, though director Emre Deniz said he was able to do exactly that. He also told me I got through the demo faster than others that try it for the first time. I'll see you in space, ya?
SoccerDream
At first glance, SoccerDream looks like a VR soccer game. You run around, pass the ball, and score goals. After trying it out though, it's definitely not a game, it's a training tool.
The goal is to help develop soccer IQ in young children who may not be able to go to the more prestigious soccer academies, like the ones developed by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. When you put on the headset, the software starts to analyse how you play the game. Do you get in the right positions for your team mates? Did you find good passing options? How was your passing vision?
When you're done with your session, it rates your performance and tells you how you did (I did horrifically, for the record). It's powered by Ekkono, a cognitive soccer training method used by the biggest club. In our demo, we only received simplistic feedback on more general data types, but CEO Andreu Bartoli says it gets far more complex as you move through the program.
Limitless VR Creative Environment -- GDC 2017 from Tom Sanocki on Vimeo.
Animating is gruelling work that takes hours upon hours upon hours. You can spend a week of hard work on a few seconds of footage, and if you decide you could do better you have to go back and do it all again. Limitless, founded by veterans of Pixar, DreamWorks Animation and more, wants to ease that burden by allowing you to animate in VR.
You're dropped into a 3D scene and can move and walk around. Animating your characters is about as easy as animating an action figure. I was able to do a simple animation that was about 10 seconds total in about 5 minutes. That is obviously much, much faster than doing a couple seconds in a week of work. So not only is Limitless able to make animation much easier, it's able to make it far more accessible, potentially bringing more people into animation.
Realiteer's WiseMind
This is a wellness program that can do a couple things with one goal: clear your mind of any stress or pain you may be feeling. The first thing it does is to help those with chronic, hurtful pain forget about it for a little while, potentially aiding in recovery.
For example, if your left arm was in so much pain that you could barely move it due to an injury, WiseMind would help trick your mind into thinking it was fine. It does this by putting you in an experience where one arm is mirrored. So if your left arm is injured, it'll mirror your right arm - and all it's actions - onto your left arm. Your mind will think your left arm is functioning fine, but in reality it's not moving. I can't speak to the full effectiveness of the demo because both my arms were fine, but it definitely has a reverse phantom limb kind of effect that's surreal.
The second thing it does is a very immersive version of VR Tai Chi that's incredibly effective. Despite being in a loud room filled with people, I was able to fully block out the world and focus on my body completing the movements. It does this by playing super loud music (Star Wars' Duel of the Fates in my case) and having you interactively match movements by catching black and white bubbles in sequence.
bHaptics
Fully creating VR immersion is going to mean having some sort of haptic feedback on our real bodies when something happens to our virtual bodies. We've seen companies try to enter this space with products like Teslasuit, but those are going for upwards of $1,000.
bHaptics hopes to make these haptic feedback suits a little more affordable, like around $549. We were able to try one of their solutions, which gives you a vest, arm bands and some feedback on the headset itself. Let's just put it this way: playing a game without bHaptics tech felt like there was something missing.
Not only is it effective, it's able to produce a number of different effects. We could feel things being thrown at our head (ouch), we could feel swords slashing our midsections, shotguns hitting our sides and, most terrifyingly, a bomb. Oh, and we also got injected by a huge zombie monster. That was not fun, but it did make for an incredible experience.
Sports games in VR
Appnori and Red Accent are taking two different approaches to sports games in VR. Appnori is using the Vive Tracker to take real world objects, like baseball bats and table tennis paddles, and allowing you to play games with them. It's incredibly effective, and has far less latency and is much more immersive than something like Wii Sports.
On the other hand, Red Accent is aiming to make more complex sports games in VR. The one it showed off was an NBA game where you can dribble the ball, steal the ball, pass, shoot and dunk. Dunking was something special, because it actually feels like you can dunk. Bonus: The physics are a bit loose so you can dunk from the three point line. Eat that, Michael Jordan.
Aurora's AR glasses
While Aurora's AR glasses are clearly in the prototype phase, they've got the technology to put together a pair of glasses with a wider field of view than anything else out there now, including Microsoft HoloLens. The company said its field of view is 135 degrees.
Trying out the demo, which displayed a cute cartoon AR dragon that you could walk around as he flapped his tiny wings, it was easy to see that it did in fact have a wider field of view than its competitors. It was kind of like holding a regular iPhone about two feet from your face.
The company says it'll be a standalone headset that can also work in daylight. Unfortunately, we were only able to try out the headset in a dark corner of HTC Vive's offices. It'll be in beta later this year.

The correct question in the modern world is "Are we being cynical enough?"
Paranoia definitely exists and so too is it true that sometimes they really are out to get you.
Of course, why shouldn't the State have a duty to ensure that all children are educated? But there's also that possibility that those doing the educating will have more than just the 3 Rs in mind when they define what is an education. Possibly - and we mention this only as a bat's squeak of a maybe - there is a thought that propagandising to the young will force them into growing up with certain viewpoints. Say, that the radical transformation of society is necessary to stop climate change. Or that absolutely everything must be recycled in violation of any commonsense rules.
Define "dangerous influence". Which disagreement with the ruling educational orthodoxy would qualify? Harming Gaia? Religious extremism? Rote learning of the times table?
If you were to want to use the education system to create New British Man then this is how you would do it. Insist that no one should be outside that approved, regulated and mandated system. And refuse to allow any opting out from any particular part of that approved, regulated and mandated system.
Of course, that's to be excessively cynical, there's just no way that we British would ever move to such a system. Except, well, there is that basic rule of modern life, are we being cynical enough when contemplating the actions of our rulers?

China News Service, July 2nd, comprehensive foreign media reported that on July 1, local time, Japanese government sources said that the United States had informed Japan that it hoped to organize a G7 summit at the end of August. Japanese Prime Minister Abe Jin San is willing to attend.
According to Reuters reports, two people with direct knowledge of the Japanese government told Reuters that Japan replied to the United States that if the summit was held at the end of August, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was willing to attend.
US President Trump said in May that he would postpone the G7 summit until September or later and expand the list of invitees to Australia, Russia, South Korea and India.
Although it is unclear why the summit will be held before September, polls show that Trump's voter approval rating has declined significantly since the new crown epidemic.
"He may want to use his achievements in diplomatic relations to achieve a breakthrough," one of the Japanese government sources said.
According to a report by Kyodo News in Japan, the analysis said that the background reason for holding the plan in August was Trump's intention to hold the Republican Congress and G7 summit in the short term, hoping to create a favorable environment for re-election.

Home / Irish Politics / Lisbon in Pieces
Lisbon in Pieces
June 12, 2008 Irish Politics Simon McGarr 2
The day before Thursday's vote on the Lisbon Treaty there is a moratorium on reporting to let the electorate consider their position.
So, as I'm a voter, I'm going to have a bit of a consider.
I've leaned from Yes to No to Yes again over the course of the campaign. The main way to get me to switch my allegiance was to expose me to an advocate for either side. I have never found myself with my vote so open to having my opinion changed by listening to people putting forward their side.
The only problem was that it was not that I was inspired to believe each side as I heard them. Rather it was that the campaigners for both sides were so objectionable that I was driven to their opponents as soon as they opened their mouth. Or, in the case of Mary Lou McDonald, when their mouth was pursed as though they'd just had a dead snail placed on their tongue.
More later, if I can manage to gather the energy.
Later: Well, here I am on the bus at the end of the working day. I've spent it asking everyone I met how they were going to vote and why. Happily nobody I asked cited any reason given by either campaign. Rather, they all gave reasonable answers (both yes and no) based on their opinion of real provisions of the treaty. To try to help me sort out what way I might vote, I thought I'd jot down some of the, sometimes contradictory, thoughts I had on this.
Consider them the splintered opinions of an undecided voter.
The various flavours of No campaign made no coherent argument which might sway me. I don't intend to consider them any further.
The Yes campaign was mostly based on the imagined trust and loyalty the electorate would give to each estate- political parties, unions, the ifa, newspapers, the bishops, IBEC. Their problem is that, happily in a democracy, people are not bound to bloc voting by class, creed or affiliation. Locking up the leaders of these institutions just highlighted how weak the ties are binding them to their followers in the first place. The public went one way and the people who presume to represent them went the other. There's no question that this explains the pique expressed as the public's indifference to being lectured to became clear.
The lessons of Nice were never learned.
More frequently than an outside observer might expect I was told by a No voter that their problem with the treaty lay with a dissatisfaction with the shape and direction of the EU as a whole. A yes vote was an acquiescence with institutions which they felt needed recasting, not reforming.
Ireland is often cited as being strongly pro-EU. This hasn't been the case in the last two weeks of anecdotal polling I've done. Suggestions that Ireland owes the EU (as an institution) something, or should vote yes out of gratitude for gifts bestowed in the past misunderstands what the referendum is for. It also misunderstands how a democracy works.
At last: It was a Yes from me, after much hesitation. And a No from the rest of the country.
EU / EU-law / ireland / lisbontreaty / referendum
EWI says:
More frequently than an outside observer might expect I was told by a No voter that their problem with the treaty lay with a dissatisfaction with the shape and direction of the EU as a whole.
This is my reason to vote 'no'. I'm feeling particularly sore over what's going on in Chad, where we're being made look the world's biggest fools by the French.
Paddy says:
The biggest problem for the Yessirs was that the treaty document is almost impossible to read – that's suspicious in itself. however, it was still possible to perceive the massive shift towards a federal EU state.

With nearly two centuries of Texas experience departing Congress this week, the lawmakers reflect on their tenures on Capitol Hill.
State Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Terrell, is running to succeed U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Dallas, who announced his retirement last month.
A half-dozen members of the Texas congressional delegation have already given up their seats — and the elections haven't even started yet. This cycle could see more changes than a redistricting year, when disruption is the norm.
U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling, a powerful Dallas Republican who has served in Congress since 2003, announced Tuesday he won't seek re-election to a ninth term.
The U.S. House passed U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling's landmark legislation to dismantle Obama-era regulations of Wall Street institutions – but the bill faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Senate.
Republicans in Congress have four issues on their agenda ahead of the August recess, but investigations into Russian cyberattacks could derail them all. Texans are well-positioned to potentially play key roles on all of those issues.
U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling is ready to wield his gavel to change how money moves in the American economy.
Texas Democrats on Capitol Hill are calling for more Congressional oversight, amid news reports of Trump allies communicating with Russian officials.
Despite being overlooked, Hensarling will enter his eighth term with the most influence of his career.
Donald Trump's presidency alongside a Republican-controlled Congress could soon translate to staggering power for seven Texas Republicans.
The president-elect might be importing Texas political figures into his administration, but Donald Trump has shown no sign that he's bringing their view of federal power in with them.
If Trump appoints U.S. Reps. Hensarling and McCaul, who would replace them?
The new Trump administration could bring special elections to the state of Texas.
Whether Republicans in the Texas delegation choose to back Paul Ryan for another term as House Speaker could hold far-reaching consequences.
Legislation passed by Congress on Wednesday did not address concerns that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz raised over U.S. control of the Internet.
Lone Star clout and the benefits it generates back home look to be on the decline in the coming years.
Texas Republican leaders and delegates prepare to have an impact on the gathering this week in Cleveland amid lingering ambivalence about the presumptive presidential nominee.
Donald Trump's decision to name Indiana Gov. Mike Pence his running mate could increase enthusiasm for the Republican ticket from at least one member of the Texas congressional delegation — U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Dallas.
As Republican campaign operatives raise concerns that the party could lose U.S. House seats with Donald Trump as its standard-bearer, Texas Republicans are funding efforts to shore up vulnerable incumbents around the country.

I swear the nervous excitement at Q-school among the players and caddies is contagious, and it's like I get a contact high from this weird yet intriguing energy. I act completely loony (or more so than usual). I can't explain it, other than the fact I'm hypersensitive to my surroundings.
I cherish the unique event that makes or breaks the following season for players. For most, dreams are unfulfilled and it's back to the grind on the mini tours, and for the top 25 (and ties), it's absolute relief for those who got their jobs back and pure joy for those who have realized their dream of the chance to play on the PGA Tour.
Is there any other event in sports where grown men shed tears of happiness and heartbreak. Where else does a player, who has somewhat of a tough guy persona, break down crying on the 18th green? And even when he finds out he got his card despite the double-bogey on the last hole, he still can't stop the tears flowing down his face because of the emotional rollercoaster experienced in last 15 minutes.
The problem with my enthusiasm is I want to cover EVERYTHING. There are SO MANY interesting story lines that are worth sharing. But it's like a double-edged sword, where I end up trying to do too much and then my head starts spinning and nothing gets accomplished. That happens almost every week to some extent for me, but not even close to the extent it does at Q-school. I have 20 pages of notes that I haven't posted.
Oh, what? You'd like those tidbits I promised? Here we go…Storify-style!

For reasons beyond my understanding, I have been able to recite the first sentence of John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany ever since the first and only time that I read the novel.
I have no recollection of trying to memorize the sentence. I do remember rereading the opening passage after finishing the book, and it was at that point that I was able to recite from memory the first line. It is perhaps my only super power: the ability to recite the first sentence of this great American novel without any great effort. Who then is my arch nemesis? Dementia? Alzheimers? Apologies. I digress.
I love John Irving. Reading his novels makes me feel like a real adult. They are broad and sweeping portraits of American families and American dysfunction, but not in the gothic or studiously sincere ways of writers such as Steinbeck or Faulkner. Irving's Americana prose is jaunty: his tone is simultaneously critical, naieve, and compassionate.
A Prayer for Owen Meany was the first Irving novel that I read. I was immediately hooked.
Talk about a spoiler alert, huh? Little Owen's gonna kill the narrator's Momma and somehow be redeemed by the person who loved her most. Amazing. As I sit here, remembering how this plays out, I desperately want to reread it again. The glory is in the exposition.
I feel pretty good about most of what's going on in this diagram, but there are some questions that I don't have answered.
I took the safe route and stuck it under the verbal because frankly, I didn't know what else to do with it.
I had no idea how to handle the connecting of the phrases and clauses under the aforementioned verbal, to remember. I couldn't find anything online that would explain how to connect these compound clauses. In the end, I just went with a simple coordinating conjunction line. If our goal is to parse the sentence in order to better understand the relationship of each part to each part, I think the coordinating junction connnecting line does the job.
I'd love to hear from anyone with better ideas If you have a better diagram, let me know! Thanks for reading!
This is absolutely wonderful. I remember having a similar experience with that first sentence. And while I wouldn't call 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' my favorite book, it is the book that made me both most emotional and made me laugh out loud more than other books.
But that first line is my favorite first line ever, and you have done wonders with it. Your artwork is absolutely phenomenal.

Asking a shy guy to flirt, much less approach a woman that he is attracted to can seem like quite the daunting task. After all, the biggest fear of a shy man is getting shot down, laughed at or just simply ignored by the object of his affection (especially when other girls are around). However, despite all of the nerves and sweaty palms, several easy flirting tips for shy men do exist.
Flirting can be easy if done with confidence.
Whether you are at a relaxed chill-out lounge in Manhattan or at a small gathering with your circle of friends and acquaintances, one casual way in which to let a woman know you are interested is by getting her a drink. No extra talk is necessary, and no expectations have to be attached. As she receives the drink, give her a small smile and then stop looking.
One of the biggest benefits of being alive in the modern age is being able to take advantage of technology and all of its perks. For instance, if you know your crush object's phone number or e-mail address, message her periodically with a joke or a laid-back message such as "How are you doing? Just thought I'd say hi." Not only do you save yourself from having to speak in person (and stammering or stuttering), she also can't see you as your face turns bright red.
If you have the chance to be able to speak to your desired woman one-on-one, focus on getting to know her as a person. Do not make her think that you are only interested in dating her. Not only does this allow you to get to know her better, it also reduces your odds of feeling shy, embarrassed or rejected. Ask her about her career or schooling. Find out if she prefers cats or dogs, or where her dream vacation spot is. Be imaginative.
One surefire way to make a woman feel good is by paying her compliments. For shy men, this can be done in a subtle way that is not overt. Do not be smarmy or insincere. Tell her you like her speaking voice or that you admire her extensive vocabulary or her way with children. For physical compliments, consider telling her that you like the light green shade of her eyes or the length of her hair. Make her feel special and like she is the only woman in the room to you.
Without being forced, try to channel your natural "inner comedian." Be witty and keep the atmosphere light-hearted and good-humored, if you get the chance to have an extended conservation with the woman of your dreams. If the atmosphere is light, it reduces any chances of awkwardness that you, as a shy guy, might feel. It also decreases the pressure placed on the woman.

Disney+ announced today that they will premiere all episodes of Behind the Attraction on July 16.
The original series, narrated by Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds), looks to give viewers a peek 'behind the curtain' of Disney Parks and Resorts' most beloved attractions and destinations. While rides including Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Star Tours, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and it's a small world will each get their own episode, the other four are dedicated to the iconic Disneyland Hotel, the Hall of Presidents attraction, and the castles at Disney's parks, along with their unique system of trains, trams and monorails.
The story of each attraction is brought to life through the use of archival and never-before-seen footage and photography, as well as rare interviews with Walt Disney. Also appearing in the docuseries to divulge a secret or two are Disney Legends and an assortment of (past and present) Imagineers, including Bob Weis, Jeanette Lomboy, Kim Irvine, Scott Trowbridge, Tom Fitzgerald, Scot Drake, Carmen Smith, Joe Rohde and more.

I-Term
Each year, dozens of area businesses and organizations participate in I-Term. Students have completed internships at NYS Assembly & Senate, Greane Tree Technology Group/Albany Can Code, American Cancer Society, Albany Institute of History and Art, EYP Architecture & Engineering and more.
Every February, regular coursework pauses and students work closely with a mentor to create unique, rigorous and applied learning experiences.
Underclassmen
Freshmen and sophomores attend workshops and talk to visiting speakers from different careers. These workshops are called Exposiums, and are designed to expose students to interesting things happening in local businesses. The goal is to inspire students to become educated about potential careers in the Tech Valley Region. Presenters talk about their companies, why they are located in Tech Valley, what their jobs are, why they love their jobs, potential career opportunities and desirable employee attributes. Past speakers include Assemblyman John McDonald, owner of Marra's Pharmacy, Emi Kondo Olsson of IBM, Brendan Cox of the Albany Police Department, YNN Meteorologist Heather Morrison, Annmarie Lanesey of Greane Tree Technologies and TVHS alum Cody Bellair of Precision Valve & Automation.
They also attend two field trips. Sites this year include NY Biz Labs, Regeneron, Plug Power, NYS Empire Plaza & Museum, Ecovative, YNN & the Albany County District Attorney's Office.
Freshman additionally create a poster based on an interview with a professional who works in a career that interests them, and do additional research on a particular field. Sophomores do the same, but instead of creating a poster, they must give a presentation called a PechaKucha, a format in which the presenter shows 20 images each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and the presenter talks along to the images.
Upperclassmen
For upperclassmen, the level of career exposure advances. Juniors spend a week interacting with professionals at a variety of locations, including Albany Medical Center, EYP, WMHT, 1st Playable Productions and Unity House. They could also choose to make their own contacts and organize an internship themselves. Some of the sites students chose include the Johnson Space Center in Texas and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Cape Cod. Juniors give TED talks about their experiences.
Seniors have the highest level of career exposure. They chose their own internship sites and work alongside professionals for two weeks. From that experience, they have to create an artifact to represent their work. Seniors are now creating portfolios that must include a research paper, a work log and a written reflection of their experience. Seniors present their work in March to a panel of their peers, faculty and business professionals.
In addition to career exposure, I-term also allows students to explore their passions. They participate in Paedeia (pronounced "pie-day-ah"), in which faculty, staff, parents and community members teach fun, project-based mini courses or workshops around a topic or skill. Topics include Aikido, music and podcast recording, craft sewing, herpetology: keeping reptiles & amphibians, comic book collecting, medieval armor, weapons & combat, origami and chess.
What our alumni say about I-Term
"The skills I learned such as how to reach out and network and contact people on my own help me succeed in the real world,"
said Cullen Utermark, Class of 2014.
"I've always had an interest in medicine, but because of all the confidentiality laws I've never been able to actually get a feel for the field. My experiences at TVHS, especially I-Term, exposed me to not only medical practitioners but also various other people in the medical field," said Rokeya Sultana, Class of 2013.
"During I-Term I learned skills like self direction and how to work without direct supervision, much like in a real work place. I liked how you had freedom over your work and how you did it," said Nikita Losi, Class of 2017.
"I learned that I might not want to become an environmental engineer like I thought I was going to become," said Sara Savoia, Class of 2015. "But I also learned that forestry, six sigma in marketing and growth and becoming a ranger are careers that I am interested in."
"Tech Valley has given me the opportunity each year to pursue an internship in a field of interest to me through I-Term and senior project. It has been a very valuable experience and one I am highly grateful for it." Seth Miller, Class of 2013.

Funny / Far Cry 4
Create New - Create New - Analysis FanficRecs FanWorks Haiku ImageLinks PlayingWith Quotes Recap ReferencedBy Synopsis Timeline
Ajay Ghale
When Ajay witnesses a funeral pyre he remarks that he's never seen anything like it, only for Bhadra to remark that she's never seen a man carry around his mother's ashes. Ajay's reaction is simply "Touché."
Ajay's rather violent reaction upon meeting Yogi and Reggie again after completing their first mission. Note that he says this while barging in with a loaded gun pointed at their heads.
Ajay: Still alive, shitbags!
One of the "Hunting: Control" missions begins with the quest-giver frantically telling Ajay that his wife was eaten by rabid honey badgers. Ajay proceeds to laugh it off... only to realize that he was being serious, whereupon he awkwardly retracts his statement.
On a meta-level, the "secret ending" where Ajay does what Pagan Min asks at the beginning of the game, and just hangs around in his palace for Min to come back. When Min returns, he lets Ajay put his mother's ashes to rest without issue, all the while offhandedly explaining the entire plot of the game in casual conversation. They then hop back into their helicopter, with Min bellowing "Maybe now we can finally shoot some goddamn guns", and the credits roll.
The quote may count as a comedic What the Hell, Player?. Why the hell did you buy a game like Far Cry if you're just gonna wait 15 minutes idling for a pacifist's ending? This is a fucking First Person Shooter, go do some shooting already!
While it appears only for a brief moment, Ajay's face when Pagan takes a selfie with him at the beginning of the game is priceless. It's a beautiful mixture of "I am absolutely terrified for my life right now" and "right now, I have no idea what on earth is going on".
Pagan Min
Pretty much everything Pagan says or does has a serious streak of Black Comedy to it.
Some of his most entertaining lines and actions are reserved for Darpan, the old guy whom Ajay meets in the bus during the game's cinematic intro. Yes, it's terrifying to see Pagan torture the man before handing him over to De Pleur for even more torture, but it's also disturbingly funny due to Pagan being, well, Pagan. He continues this trend throughout the game whenever Darpan pops up in conversations.
Pagan (all business-like, having just kidnapped Ajay for dinner): Again, terribly sorry for what happened before. This is more what I had in mind. So, fresh start. Introductions. Ajay Ghale, our guest of honor. (To his right) Paul, our very gracious host. (To his left, Darpan, looking terrified) The little monkey, whose name I still don't know. And I, of course, am Pagan Min.
When he notices Darpan has been covertly texting at the table, he slams the man into the table, jams a fork into his back...and then slaps the hand holding the phone until Darpan relinquishes it, like a parent admonishing a child.
Then he admonishes his guards for not searching Darpan.
Pagan: Really, guys? We're not checking for these anymore?
Listening to Pagan talk about Kanye West's Twitter can be pretty funny, if only for the sheer unexpectedness of it.
It also shows that both of your crazies with a radio have a weird thing for Kanye.
Pagan's rant about whoever is going around lighting all of the candles around Kyrat is funny as hell. Especially the fact that it annoys him to the extent that he declares to his confused aide "Gary" that all candles are now illegal and lighting one is punishable by death.
Pagan rings up Ajay on the radio, telling Ajay he had a suit made for the kid, because his current outfit just isn't fit for the next king of Kyrat. He then subtly makes fun of the game's crafting system by asking what Ajay keeps in all those zippered pockets, "handfuls of meat?" and acknowledging that he probably does, so let's work that into the suit?
Pagan claiming that he's gotten over his Caligula phase:
Pagan: Yes, yes, I murdered countless innocents. Yes, I outlawed religion. Yes, I changed the currency so that everyone's savings were meaningless and yes, I may have gone through a period of bathing in yak's blood and slamming rails of coke. But I'm reformed now! Look at me! Getting this country back on its feet again. Top shape, Ajay. (sound of Pagan snorting a line of coke) Top shape.
In the ending he decides to teach the player a valuable lesson regarding choice and responsibility:
Pagan: All choices have consequences, Ajay! I've given you Kyrat, but I'm keeping the helicopter!
In an early radio message, Pagan assumes Ajay fled the compound in the beginning because he didn't like the crab rangoon. Pagan tells him not to worry: he had the cook executed for incompetence, so it's all good. Or maybe it was the cook's family...
Rabi Ray Rana
Just about everything Rabi Ray Rana says is this. He is a constant never-ending stream of Lighter and Softer wackiness in an otherwise Darker and Edgier game.
At one point during his speeches, he says that Pagan Min dresses like he "stole someone's Joker Halloween costume" and "robbed a metrosexual pimp".
His constant talk about how hot Amita is eventually results in her calling his station to tell him to stop.
Even better, his attempts to talk up the resistance turn into Misaimed Fandom and Unwanted Assistance as while he brings up Pagan Min's atrocities, he also paints Amita as a Tony Montana-esque drug lord who wants to turn the country into a narco-state and Sabal as a fun-hating religious fanatic. Not exactly the sort of thing you want your propaganda guy to describe you as.
Notably, The Cuckoolander Was Right in his assumptions about both the Golden Path's leaders.
At one point, he rambles on about how the Noble Peace Prize isn't going to be won by anyone in Kyrat before he starts talking about how they've begun handing it out to people who "do drone strikes like they're going out of style." Then he clarifies he's talking about Obama. And quickly realizes the US would have a much easier time taking him out than Pagan Min if they really wanted to.
Rabi takes some listener answers about what they think is hidden in Pagan's mines, and is quite dismayed by the responses. He first talks about how one person thinks they're housing an undead army given to Pagan by the lizard people living under Los Angeles. He then talks about another theory that they contain gold-painted lead bars, heard from the submitter's cousin's best friend's girlfriend. Finally, he brings up one last response, from his brother - Rabi's balls. Rabi says that if that were the case, he has some pretty big balls.
Rabi: There are some pretty interesting theories out there, and by interesting, I mean fucking stupid.
He gets a little ahead of himself when he informs Ajay of the second propaganda center.
Rabi: Hey Ajay, I found another propaganda center. I'm sending you the coordinates now. Head over there and take it out with extreme prejudice. Man, I've always wanted to say that. 'Take it out with extreme prejudice'. That's, like, some serious black ops shit, man. 'Extreme prejudice'. Okay, sorry, I'm just getting off topic now. I'll let you get back to doing what you do best. This is Rabi Ray Rana, signing off... okay, why am I talking like I'm on the radio? I mean, I am on the radio, but I'm not on the air. Ah, fuck it! Just... I'm gonna go. Sorry. Ajay? Please don't think I'm a loser. 'Cause I'm not.
King Min's Kyrat
This is the royal government's official guide to the game's setting, which is of course filled with all kinds of bullshit propaganda that regurgitates all of Pagan Min's egotistic delusions.
The People section heaps a lot of exaggerated praise for Pagan and his allies, while also mocking and scorning their enemies.
The Places section likewise insists that all areas of the war-torn nation under Min's control are a perfect paradise.
The Animals section humorously compares most of the wildlife to human beings, from the Royal Army to the Golden Path.
Some players may find all the various NPCs' South Asian accents to be amusing. Doubly so if they're familiar with Hindi/Urdu profanity.
The quest giver for entering Noore's Arena is a topless woman who might taunt Ajay when he approaches by expressing disbelief that he wants to enter the arena, when he's barely old enough to look at her breasts.
"If it isn't Mr. Stare-At-My-Tits. The Arena is waiting (to cheer) for you." note "to cheer" is added if Ajay has gotten a high rank in the arena
While Ajay fights in the Shanath Arena, the announcer has a very morbid and cruel sense of humor, punctuated by bursts of sadistic cackling, appropriately enough for all the brutal bloodshed and crazy chaos of the events.
He asks the audience if they feel entertained enough, as all the combatants (except Ajay) have literally "died for your amusement!"
He warns that any spectators who are found to be carrying weapons, or who merely fall into the arena, will be forced to become another contestant in the games.
He states that side bets are not allowed, and anyone who violates this rule "will be fed to tigers... and my ex-wife!"
Due to the animal AI, some Black Comedy can happen. You can rescue some hostages from enemy captivity, but only for a pack of wolves to ambush them without warning. You can be tasked with assassinating a Royal Army lieutenant, but only for a freaking tiger to roll in from nowhere and do the job for you.
Like all the other predatory animals in the game, even the black eagles are annoyingly aggressive; they'll randomly attack Ajay or other people for no reason, despite the fact that these birds are obviously too small to even eat a human being (if they encounter some Golden Path rebels, they'll narmfully yell out "EAGLE!" while shooting at the air in panic). Even more amusingly, it's entirely possible to see an eagle abducting a freaking pig , even though these animals should (probably?) be too fat and heavy for any birds to carry.
There is something just delightfully absurd about the animation used when repelling an attacking honey badger. It's like every single time Scrappy-Doo was pulled off the Monster of the Week.
Speaking of badgers, there's the the "Fashion Week" quest to hunt Gulo the Honey Badger. Starting the mission requires you to go through at least five confirmation menu screens, the last one asking "Are you mad??"
Gulo is apparently so badass, that he murdered multiple armed humans and larger animals; such as Royal Army soldiers (along with their burnt out vehicles), wolves, tigers, and even a rhino! Killing Gulo requires the use of a light machine gun.
Hurk's One-Scene Wonder:
Hurk: Let's kick some Golden Path ass.
Driver: We're the Golden Path!
Ajay's blink-and-you'll-miss-it trolling:
Hurk: You call, we swoop in and help you— me and my, uh... ah...
Ajay: (Quietly) Golden Path?
Hurk: Golden Path buddies! That's right.
Pranav, the driver, from the Armed Convoy missions has one.
"If you look to your right you'll see one of Kyrat's many beautiful temples. Take a photo because we are not stopping!"
In one cave, you can find a sleeping bag and a Lonesome Planet entry that extols the hospitality of the people of Kyrat, specifically about how they will let travelers sleep in their homes, but with an editor's note that adds "I AM BULLSHITTING THIS ENTRY I AM SLEEPING IN A FUCKING CAVE".
The people who supported Sabal and watched Death Note before playing Far Cry 4 can have their fun from comparing Sabal's sentences when he refers to the godess he worships, Kyra, to the alias used by the protagonist of Death Note.
Sabal: "Now it's time to remind that Kyra watches over them"
"Amita needs to go. It's the will of Kyra."

Parental Bereavement Leave - What more do we know?
You may remember not long ago we wrote an article on The Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act 2018. At the time there was little information available which raised questions of who would be defined as a "bereaved parent," how and when to take such leave and evidential requirements.
Whilst the Regulations are yet to be published, the Government has published its response to a consultation on how the new right should operate in practice.
As we already know, the Act entitles bereaved parents to at least two weeks' leave following the loss of a child under the age of 18 or if they suffer a stillbirth from 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Whilst under current legislation employees have the right to take unpaid time off to care for dependants or take compassionate leave, this Act is designed to give parents time off to help cope with the emotional consequence of losing a child or during difficult times i.e. the anniversary of the child's death.
How can parental bereavement leave be taken?
It is proposed the leave can be taken in one continuous two week block or alternatively, blocks of one week each – much like the current arrangement with paternity leave. Employees will be given 56 weeks to exercise their entitlement to parental bereavement leave.
For any leave which is taken immediately after the bereavement, the employee will not be required to provide any notice but will need to inform their employer that they are exercising their entitlement to take such leave. If leave is taken after the initial bereavement period, employees will be required to provide their employer with at least one week's notice.
There will be no requirement for employees to provide evidence of their entitlement to parental bereavement leave during the initial bereavement period. However, in order to claim statutory bereavement pay, employees will be required to provide written evidence of their entitlement to receive such pay. The Government has advised that any evidence will be similar to that provided for paternity leave where a written declaration is completed by the employee.
This means employees will not need to give evidence of their relationship to the child or a copy of the death certificate to their employer.
For advice on any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Langleys Employment Team.

Computer technicians come from a variety of backgrounds and have a range of experience levels. Trade schools, Bachelor's degrees, and years of on-the-job training can all prepare a repair person to resolve even the most challenging computer problems. The key is to find somebody who offers the particular services needed and who has a proven track record of satisfied clients.
Some technicians specialize by working only on certain devices or with certain types of software. For example, they may be specially certified to work with Microsoft products. Some repair groups only work on laptops and PCs and can offer no help with tablets, smartphones, and other small devices. Other repair people are specially trained to handle the needs of small businesses or even larger companies.
It is always a good idea to screen potential computer technicians with some basic online research. When looking for computer repair in Westlake Village, a great starting place is an online search for area providers. A quick look at a company website may rule out repair groups that do not offer needed services. Some companies will send technicians out to a home or office, whereas others ask customers to transport equipment to their repair center. Sometimes computer specialists can even fix problems remotely. Some providers have very quick turnaround times and work most days out of the year. It is even possible to find online discounts and special offers for certain repair companies.
Perhaps the best online resources are review websites. These sites provide a great opportunity to rule out companies that do inconsistent work or who have a reputation for poor customer service. Taking these simple steps will lead consumers to only the best computer repair in Westlake Village, CA.


Natural pools, rivers, reservoirs... Your options are not limited to swimming pools in the inland regions of Barcelona when it comes to taking a dip. You'll find plenty of freshwater bathing spots and they're often set in breathtaking surroundings. So if you're not keen on saltwater bathing and find beaches too crowded but still want to cool down in the summer heat, these 5 options are just what the doctor ordered.
A source of legends and poems, and constantly filled by a spectacular waterfall, the Gorg Negre (Black Pool), in the municipality of Gualba, is one of the most magical and breathtaking places in the Montseny Massif, which really is saying a lot when it comes to this stunning area. Getting there is a bit of a trek but that will make your dip all the more refreshing!
At the well-known and popular Sau Reservoir you can go for a dip and even enjoy a spot of sunbathing on the little beaches you'll find there. The best equipped locations are at the Yacht Club and close to the Can Mateu activity camp house.
We head now to Borredà to cool off in this crystal-clear pool. Gorg del Salt means "Waterfall Pool" and the waterfall here, which forms part of the Margansol Stream, is about 20 metres high. The parking area is less than a 10-minute walk away.
This small tributary of the Ter River has plenty of meanders and natural pools. The area just outside the town of Sant Pere de Torelló is the best spot to enjoy its crystal-clear waters.
Like Sau, the Baells Reservoir is also a great place for water sports and swimming. The fact that it has an open-water swimming lane, part of the vies braves network, means that it's popular with swimmers and other sportspeople, who go there to train.
Pay attention to safety advice before entering the water!
If you enjoy open-water swimming, check out the vies braves network of the Costa Barcelona!

Discussion in 'macOS' started by nate, Mar 23, 2006.
I know that there's a big buzz about people getting Windows XP on Apple computers, but what about getting OS X working on non-Apple computers?
I'm not too concerned about having Windows XP on my computer, although I'm sure that this is good for some people, as there are some programs that only work on Windows. As for myself, I don't really have a need for Windows. Vista sounds neat, but I'm not going to be rushing to get it when, or if, it ever comes out... sometime in 2009, after a zillion delays.
Saying that, however, as a consumer I'd be more interested in being able to run my one or two Windows-based programs without having to dual boot or use Windows to run my program. I've heard of Wine for Linux, which allows you to run Windows based programs in Linux without needing to boot or run Windows. I've heard that some people are working on an Intel OS X version of Wine, but I can't confirm that. To me, that would be more useful and practical than dual booting, if it worked.
Going back to the topic: I'd also be interested in OS X on non-Apple computers. Don't get me wrong, I love Apple's design, but wouldn't it be really cool if you could custom-make your own computer and boot OS X on there?
I don't know how hard it would be or how much would be involved, but it would be interesting of someone got it working. I'm thinking that someone out there is probably working on this, I just don't know much about it.
I know that Apple clones once existed, and that was bad for Apple. So, I imagine that Apple would be careful about doing it again; although, I doubt that will stop people from trying to stick OS X on non-Apple computers anyway.
But, it would be interesting to have an option if it ever became available. Also, would be the option to run Windows-based programs without the need to dual boot or even use Windows.
Duff-Man says...I would try searching the forums - this topic has been done to death already...a few times.....oh yeah!
check out this . I have heard that they have instructions on how to get it there.
I am thinking about installing it on my desktop, but don't really see the point since I have a PB. Plus, not everything works correctly yet.
I tried it back when it was just 10.4.1, and it worked alright.. but Rosetta wouldn't work so it was a pretty moot point at that time. Also, I had trouble getting the ethernet up and I'm sure there are tons of driver issues with it..
My opinion: Not worth the trouble.

Q: When using printf for char only outputs the dots I'm currently working on a homework and can't get the result I want from the code below.
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int base, num, x, y, z, t, choice;
    char hexa = 0, a, b, c, d, k, l, m, n, h, g, f, v;

    switch (hexa) {
    case 'A':
        num = 10;
        break;
    case 'B':
        num = 11;
        break;
    case 'C':
        num = 12;
        break;
    case 'D':
        num = 13;
        break;
    case 'E':
        num = 14;
        break;
    case 'F':
        num = 15;
        break;
    }

    printf("Please enter the base:\n");
    scanf("%d", &base);

    if (base == 10) {
        printf("Please enter your ip address:\n");
        scanf("%c.%c.%c.%c", &a, &b, &c, &d);

        //if((a<0 || a>255) && (b<0 || b>255) && (c<0 || c>255) && (d<0 || d>255)){ //FIX THIS
        //  printf("Sorry, that is not a valid address!");}
        printf("Please enter the sub-net mask\n"); //Skips this line
        scanf("%d.%d.%d.%d", &x, &y, &z, &t);
    }
    else if (base == 16) {
        printf("Enter your ip address\n");
        scanf("%c.%c.%c.%c", &k, &l, &m, &n);
        printf("Enter the subnet mask\n");
        scanf("%c.%c.%c.%c", &h, &g, &f, &v);
    }

    scanf("%d", &choice);

    if (choice == 1) { //there is a part that asks which
        printf("%c.%c.%c.%c", a, b, c, d); //prints only dots
    }
    else if (choice == 2) {}
    else if (choice == 3) {}
    else if (choice == 4) {}
    else if (choice == 5) {}
    else if (choice == 6) {}

    return 0;
}

So basically I'm trying to get an IP and subnet and convert it to binary but as instructed I can't use bitwise shift and %x to get the IP address as base 16. The problem is when I try to print the IP address given printf only prints dots and nothing else. And also one of the skips the subnet mask scanf. I would be really glad if I can get some help from you guys as I don't have many friends to ask questions. Thanks.
EDIT: I don't know if anyone is going to face this problem but my solution was rather silly but it works. You basically take the input as scanf("%c%c.%c%c.%c%c.%c%c%c"), the last %c is for the enter as char takes enter as input.

A: Hi and welcome to stackoverflow !
My answer will only help you about the base 16 part because you can easily do the base 10 based on what you already achieved and some hints i'm giving to you.
Parsing using base 16
Like you mentioned, you can't use %x to retrieve the IP address so another possibility is to use strings.
An IP address is digits from 0 to 255 so you can expect hex characters from 0x00 to 0xFF.
To me, the best way to achieve that is to use a scanset with the scanf function:
scanf("%2[0-9A-F]", str);

Pattern %2[0-9A-F] means scanf is expecting at most two characters that must be any digits or any capital letters between A and F (so any hex character).
Note, str length must be 3 to store 2 characters + the null terminator \0.
Then, str buffer will be filled with ASCII characters being a hex representation of the IP address. You can use the strtol function to convert a hex-representation-string to an integer.
The full code is below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h> // strol

#define DIGIT_SIZE 3 // 2 hex digit + null character

int main(void) {

    char d1[DIGIT_SIZE];
    char d2[DIGIT_SIZE];
    char d3[DIGIT_SIZE];
    char d4[DIGIT_SIZE];

    scanf("%2[0-9A-F].%2[0-9A-F].%2[0-9A-F].%2[0-9A-F]", d1, d2, d3, d4);

    printf("hex ip:[%s.%s.%s.%s]\n", d1, d2, d3, d4);

    int i1 = (int)strtol(d1, NULL, 16);
    int i2 = (int)strtol(d2, NULL, 16);
    int i3 = (int)strtol(d3, NULL, 16);
    int i4 = (int)strtol(d4, NULL, 16);

    printf("dec ip:[%d.%d.%d.%d]\n", i1, i2, i3, i4);

    return 0;
}

Few tries on my side:
$ 8.8.8.8
$ hex ip:[8.8.8.8]
$ dec ip:[8.8.8.8]

$ A.B.C.D
$ hex ip:[A.B.C.D]
$ dec ip:[10.11.12.13]

$ FF.FF.FF.FF
$ hex ip:[FF.FF.FF.FF]
$ dec ip:[255.255.255.255]

$ 0.0.0.0
$ hex ip:[0.0.0.0]
$ dec ip:[0.0.0.0]

A: There are multiple problems in your code:

*

*The switch statement is useless as hexa has a constant value and num is not used anyway.

*You should parse decimal numbers with %d, %u or %i and hexadecimal numbers with %x.

*If you insist on storing le IP selectors as bytes, you should use unsigned char instead of plain char and use %hhu and %hhx respectively.

*The test for number validity is incorrect, it is an error to have any number outside the range 0..255, so || is required between all tests.

*you should print the IP components with %d, not %c: %c output characters, not numbers. These characters probably are not printable, so only the dots appear.
Here is a modified version:
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int base, a, b, c, d, x, y, z, t, n, choice;

    printf("Please enter the base: ");
    if (scanf("%d", &base) != 1)
        return 1;

    if (base != 10 && base != 16) {
        printf("invalid base\n");
        return 1;
    }

    printf("Please enter your IP address: ");
    if (base == 10) {
        n = scanf("%d.%d.%d.%d", &a, &b, &c, &d);
    } else {
        n = scanf("%x.%x.%x.%x", &a, &b, &c, &d);
    }
    if (n != 4) {
        printf("invalid input\n");
        return 1;
    }
    if (a < 0 || a > 255 || b < 0 || b > 255 || c < 0 || c > 255 || d < 0 || d > 255) {
        printf("invalid IP address\n");
        return 1;
    }
    printf("Please enter the sub-net mask: ");
    if (base == 10) {
        n = scanf("%d.%d.%d.%d", &x, &y, &z, &t);
    } else {
        n = scanf("%x.%x.%x.%x", &x, &y, &z, &t);
    }
    if (n != 4) {
        printf("invalid input\n");
        return 1;
    }
    if (x < 0 || x > 255 || y < 0 || y > 255 || z < 0 || z > 255 || t < 0 || t > 255) {
        printf("invalid sub-net mask\n");
        return 1;
    }

    if (scanf("%d", &choice) != 1) {
        printf("invalid input\n");
        return 1;
    }
    switch (choice) {
      case 1:
        printf("%d.%d.%d.%d\n", a, b, c, d);
        break;
      case 2:
      case 3:
      case 4:
      case 5:
      case 6:
        break;
    }
    return 0;
}

Note that there is a way to compact the validity test:
    if (((a | b | c | d) & ~255U) {
        printf("invalid IP address\n");
        return 1;
    }

4. a good raspberry bed can have a life of over 20 years.
From the above, it follows that a raspberry bed needs thorough preparation.
1. Because they are shallow rooted, raspberries cannot tolerate competition from grass and other weeds. So all weeds need to be killed or removed as part of your preparation.
2. As raspberries bear such large crops and have to renew the fruiting wood annually, the soil in the bed needs to be rich and water retentive. Incorporate masses of well-rotted manure or garden compost (except on heavy clay 0 see below) and use rootgrow when planting to get the plants off to a good start.
3. Leave plenty of room between rows; raspberry roots grow very close to the surface and walking close to the plants when weeding or harvesting damages them.
4. DO NOT PLANT TOO DEEP. 95% of newly planted raspberry deaths occur because planting was too deep. Just cover the roots with soil, keep them well watered and they will sort themselves out.
5. Mulch your raspberries with well-rotted manure or compost every spring to keep the soil fertile and to improve its structure.
6. Plant your raspberry plants 60cms apart.
7. On heavy clay, clear the ground of weeds, but do NOT improve it before planting. Make a hole, for each plant, put the cane in it and then replace the clay that came out of the hole as best you can around the raspberry roots. Don't be too vigorous as they are fragile).


Autofill is a feature that automatically copies the values from another closest feature depending on the current location of mobile device.
It is useful when it is necessary to collect a new data based on previously collected data attributes.
When a field collector approaches to an already collected point, autofill can populate a new attribute data with already collected attributes. The data collector will see the value in the form after they click Autofill even before they send a submission.
Autofill option works both in GPS and Pinpoint mode.
Autofill can be set only to text fields and in online mode.
In Mobile Data Collection Portal it is possible to set Autofill to fetch attribute data from the layer where the data is collected.
Login to Mobile Data Collection Portal and open the project.
Add or select a text field.
When the changes are saved, open the project in MDC on your mobile device.
Note: Autofill works only if there is already collected data in the project.
Example: we've collected data about assets and want to collect new data, but use previously collected surveyor's name.
Create a project and add a text field. In this example it will be "surveyor".
Open the project in Moblie Data Collection app on your mobile device.
If the project is empty, click on Autofill will return null value, but if there are some points in the project autofill will return name of the surveyor from the nearest point.
In Map Editor it is possible to set Autofill to fetch attribute data from any layer in the map.
Example: we've collected data about roads. A new point layer is created and we would like to want to inspect road data, but use previously collected road ID and road name.
Create a new form or open an existing one in Forms Manager.
In Source layer box enter ID of the layer from which data will be fetched.
Note: layer ID can be found in Layer list. Place the cursor above layer name and ID will appear.
In Result box enter the name of the field from the source layer you want to fetch data from.
Note: be sure to add a column name, not label. You can check the name in Layer properties, under Attributes tab.
Open the map and layer in MDC on your mobile device.
Select a location using GPS or Pinpoint.
In the form tap Autofill.
