"An outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration"
The project involved the careful cleaning of the elevations as well as the replacement of some of the deteriorated masonry to bring an important Georgian architectural landmark back to its former glory. The works only included the external envelope of the building and not the interiors. The deterioration on the elevations was due to many factors: expansion and contraction due to freeze and thaw cycles, using an incorrectly formulated repair mortar for repointing, previously incorrectly installed masonry units and moisture trapped behind masonry. All these deterioration factors had left the stone elevations in a bad state. In addition, the whole exterior of the pollutants and staining had covered the original sandy colour with a blackish hue.
On my site visit, I met with Garry Shea, who is the Site Manager of this project. He is also a professional stonemason and knew every sculpture and carving on the elevations and was able to share the different phases of the project as well as the issues that had come up during the works. One of the interesting things about this particular job was that all the repairs were done with stone and the works did not involve any kind of mortar repairs. In turn, this meant that all the deteriorated areas and stones had been marked, measured, the old stone carved out and replaced with a new one. Although the to- do list might not sound that long, the amount of stone replacements on the elevations was quite staggering and quickly gave a very good idea of the huge scope of the project. In addition to the replacement of stones, the elevations needed to be cleaned of staining and pollutants.
This was an interesting project to see as it showed that although the work that had to be done was very much repetitive, it still would take a considerable amount of time due to the careful and honest conservation techniques that will eventually reveal the original colours of the building.
Built around three courtyards, Apethorpe Hall is a Grade I listed country house dating back to the 15th century. It is one of the finest Jacobean houses in England, and was the main seat of the Fane family, Earls of Westmorland. In its prime the hall entertained Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I who among them made some thirteen visits to the house.
After World War II much of the adjoining parkland was sold and the house became an approved school. In 1982 the school closed down and in 1983 the building was sold to a Libyan businessman, Wanis Mohamed Burweila, for £750,000. Burweila left the building vacant leading to its deterioration; this in turn led to him, in 2001, being served a Statutory Repairs Notice, which is an order from the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, requiring him to undertake certain urgent works to ensure the future of the building. Burweila sold the property to a developer called Kestral Armana Ltd, (subsequently renamed Apethorpe Country Estate Ltd (ACEL)).
The hall was empty for twenty years from the late 1970s and was becoming dangerously unsafe, with incipient damp and rot. When English Heritage started its Buildings at Risk Register in 1998, the hall was included on it. In September 2004 the Hall was compulsorily purchased by the British Government under section 47 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (only the second time the Government has had to use these powers) English Heritage has spent £4 million refurbishing it to make it waterproof. Since 2007 it has been seeking a buyer willing to spend a further £4 million to complete the restoration.
The visit to Apethorpe Hall was the first site visit of my placement. Needless to say, I was very excited, as the Hall is both historically and architecturally an extremely important part of UK's heritage . The works on the site did not only include the main building, but also the orangery, stable block, house and granary, as well as other outbuildings. The programme of works included a wide range of roof repairs, masonry and timber repairs. A day before the site visit I familiarised myself with the history of the place as well as the current on-going works and it turned out that William Anelay was ahead of the schedule on this project. Most of the works were completed or on the verge of completion.
Site meeting – meeting between the principal contractors (project manager and site manager), client (English Heritage), quantity surveyor and the architect.
One of the interesting points about the works was the fact that the programme of works had to be scheduled around some very specific ecological concerns. One of these concerns were bats. As natural roosting sites have become scarce due to development and land use change, so the number of artificial roost sites has increased. Many bats use buildings for roosting, and it is vital for the future of our bat populations that any building or maintenance work takes bats into account from the outset. In terms of Apethorpe Hall, the true meaning of sustainable building was illustrated in scheduling the roofing works so that the bats would not be disturbed. Although this might seem as a very small aspect compared to the whole completion programme, it shows that no area should be neglected and only confirms the central idea of working with what is already there. From bats to architectural elements and details.
And finally, I cannot leave out the rustic looking model village of Apethorpe with its thatched roofs and pretty gardens. If I had to pick the most English looking English village, this would be it!
Perhaps before I start describing what I saw, experienced and learned during the three weeks of my placement, it would be wise to say a few words about the company as well as my reasons for choosing William Anelay Ltd as my placement provider.
William Anelay Ltd is one of the oldest heritage construction companies in the United Kingdom. Founded 266 years ago, there is no doubt about the wealth of experience and expertise the company possesses. Specialising in the conservation and restoration of listed and historic buildings and the construction of bespoke new build residential and non-residential properties the list of projects starts in 1745 and continues to grow every day.
With the impressingly long history of the company and its never- ending list of projects it is hard not to feel the urge to peek "behind the curtains". In addition, my keen interest in project management only deepened my wish to do a placement at the company. So, when Charles Anelay, the Special Projects Director and Chairman of the company gave a guest lecture at the Department of Archaeology, I was 100% certain I would like to do my placement at William Anelay's Ltd.

What 'Purpose' Really Means for a Company
Make Your Brand
Hicks Crawford, Content marketing Expert
The media, employees, and even studies have implored companies everywhere to discover their purpose in recent years. Deloitte found that a company's purpose can have a direct impact on retention, particularly with Millennials — now the largest contingent of the workforce. "Any workplace that lags in inspiring passion and purpose will suffer by losing key employees — and at an increasing rate as the global economy picks up momentum," Deloitte concluded.
But Harvard Business Review cautioned businesses to not confuse their vision, mission, or values with their purpose. What a company does — say, sell organic dog food and treats — may serve its mission, which is to feed the dogs of America. That mission was likely created with its values — animal wellness, health, environmental care — in mind, and its all-encompassing vision of being the best organic dog food seller fuels its competitive spirit. But its purpose, the things its team members are driven to uphold every day, is to ensure dogs get food that keeps them healthy and active for a long time.
And that distinction is important because a company's purpose serves as a foundation for its identity — and it helps employees, candidates, and consumers determine whether their identities line up. Gallup found that without that kind of alignment, what companies think their purpose is and what it becomes through its employees can be two very different things.
So how can companies identify their purpose?
Getting past the nebulous
"Purpose" may be championed by many outlets as the big determining factor between success and a lack thereof, but few actually define purpose or explain the impact it can have on a company. Without that, purpose remains a murky thing that companies know they need but can't wrap their heads around.
Deloitte says, "Companies endure when they manage to endear." By zoning in on what unites everyone within the company and keeps them picking that over what they could find elsewhere, a company can identify the purpose underpinning everything else. And it may not be what they expect.
"Purpose has to be viewed as a discovery process," says Curt Cronin, a former Navy SEAL and the CEO of Ridgeline Partners, a consulting firm. "You have to be willing to go very broad in your search. The more you can experience, the closer you'll get to it. People and companies expect bolts of lightning, and some may get it, but the incremental everyday process is where you find the exhilaration point. They must ask themselves, 'What is so exhilarating that it is worth investing my life to make it happen?'"
Cronin says one of his favorite examples of exploring purpose is actually more personal, having come from his wife. As she made her way through medical school, she initially had difficulty pinpointing a specialty. She and Cronin actively discussed what brought her joy and, after thinking on it, she realized that she loved working with kids, so a focus on pediatrics made great sense. As they talked more, it became clear that not only was she meant to work with kids, but above all else, she was passionate about making sure kids didn't experience the same terrifying breathing problems she suffered as a child. In the end, she ended up exactly where she was meant to be, working in pediatric allergy; she simply had to consciously identify what she knew unconsciously.
Making the unconscious conscious
Customers can sometimes identify a company's purpose more readily than a company itself can. In the "Brand World Value Index," consumers could identify the purpose behind many well-known brands: Walmart aimed to help save consumers money, while Amazon focused on convenience and speed. However, the index found that purpose and motivation weren't necessarily synonymous.
For example, while 71 percent could explain what Walmart's purpose was (beyond driving a profit), a mere 43 percent said that purpose aligned with their personal values — and a scanter 24 percent said it was motivating enough to compel them to support the brand publicly. That means a growing company working to identify its purpose would do well to identify a purpose that ranks highly for both ease of identification and alignment with its target audience.
Identify areas where there could be a breakdown. While Gallup found that a brand's purported purpose sometimes took on a different form in the hands of the brand's employees, there are actions that companies can take to prevent disconnect. Once a likely purpose has been identified, hold it up against the company's internal and external processes and policies. Are there areas where the two diverge? Could something be interpreted as meaning the opposite? Take steps to actively survey employees to gather and review direct feedback. If there is a disconnect, brainstorm new approaches that both enable work to be done and create alignment with the purpose the brand wants to uphold.
Size up the competition. While purpose may seem far removed from worrying about industry competitors, examining what others are doing right can influence a brand's decisions. Vic Strecher, a behavioral scientist and the director of innovation and social entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health, recommends considering companies worthy of emulation — what's their purpose? What are they driven by? Likewise, if your company made a name for itself in its industry and then faded away, what would you want its legacy to be? Thinking about how the company is seen in the marketplace can make its purpose much clearer.
"Purpose" may seem nebulous and hard to grasp, but it constantly plays a role in a company's success, spoken or not. By defining its purpose, a brand can ensure its leaders, employees, and customers are on the same page — and more likely to stay there.

This project included two new 2-story structural steel buildings to the western block of CityScape. The "L" shaped building is comprised of EIFS, curtainwall, and masonry skin over a structural stud frame. The stand alone northern building includes storefront windows between exposed structural steel frame, corrugated metal panels and masonry. Steel and fabric canopies decorate both buildings, providing shade to pedestrians below. A structural steel bridge covered in architectural metal panel with an under lit glass panel canopy spans from the northern building across Central Ave. to connect with CityScape's east block. The buildings are placed on top of the existing below-grade parking garage. The three existing elevators were upgraded and enveloped into the new buildings. One new elevator and two new escalators were incorporated into the buildings. The landscaping on the project included both existing and new plants containing shade for customers and events. Bands of exposed aggregate concrete adds interest to the walk paths. Two water features, one splash pad and one water wall, provide a play area for children. Weitz also completed two tenant improvement projects within the shell.

Montenegro's Chief Negotiator: We will not wait for any other country
PODGORICA – "2025 is an ambitious, but also a realistic and achievable time frame, because Montenegro can reach the internal readiness for membership even before that date", said the country's Chief Negotiator with EU Aleksandar Drljević in an interview for RTCG.
He underlined that the "regatta principle" is the only legitimate principle according to which EU should accept new members. "There has not been a single sign that Montenegro will have to wait for any other county to access the EU, and we do not expect the situation to change", he said, adding that, while Montenegro is currently the frontrunner country, it would not mind any other joining it at the helm of the process.
In 2018 Montenegro opened two additional negotiating chapters, with a single one remaining. "We came to the end of the year with 32 opened chapters, with the expectation that we will open the remaining Chapter 8 (Competition) in the near future and than focus on gradual closing of all the chapters", Drljević stated.
Montenegro has closed three chapters, and in the coming period it will continue working on internal readiness for provisionally closing six more. Drljević reminded that Chapter 7 – Intellectual property law, is almost ready for closing, with Company law, Information society and media, Enterprise and industrial policy, Trans-European networks and Consumer and health protection not being far behind.
When it comes to areas covered by the Chapters 23 and 24, Drljević pointed out that the most recent non-paper (internal document of European Commission) recognizes progress in the fight against organised crime, corruption and discrimination. "The document has also noted certain challenges, which we are aware of and are working actively to overcome them", he added.
Recent survey has detected the biggest support for EU membership in Montenegro for years, with around two-thirds of the citizens supporting the accession.
"A stable two-thirds majority of the citizens support Montenegro's accession to the EU, which has been a constant feature throughout the years and we can be proud for the fact that our country, at the end of the sixth year of negotiations, has a stable support, expressed through the positive opinion of its citizens on our key goal – EU membership", Drljević remarked.

What is striking to me about the court's decision in the Arizona immigration case is what a total victory this decision was for the U.S. government and for the solicitor general. Press coverage that leads with the notion that the court upheld the "key provision" or suggesting that the overall outcome was a "split verdict" seems way off base to me. The feds won.
The provision allowing an Arizona law enforcement officer to arrest anyone that the officer believes has committed a crime that would make him deportable.
No provisions. Not any. None.
So what does Arizona win? A temporary reprieve for one provision that will be upheld by the court only if Arizona abandons the language that requires detaining a person until their immigration status can be verified. That may be something. But not nearly as much as that which was invalidated.
More generally, the tenor of the opinion of the court is a vindication of federal authority over immigration. "Federal law makes a single sovereign responsible for maintaining a comprehensive and unified system to keep track of aliens within the Nation's borders," and quotes from an earlier decision that "Conflict is imminent whenever two separate remedies are brought to bear on the same activity." It will take at least several days of analysis before one can confidently predict what today's decision will mean for immigration laws enacted recently by other states. But there is virtually nothing in the court's opinion that should give lawmakers in those other states any comfort whatsoever.

The Ministering Children's League
by Florence Montgomery, Author of "Misunderstood," "Thrown Together," "Transformed," etc.
In saying a few words about the "Ministering Children's League," I am only going to touch on points connected with one side of it: i.e., the assistance it may be in "promoting habits of unselfishness and thoughtfulness for others" among children: first, because I think this is such a very valuable and helpful part of its aim; and also because its other side, the "teaching the children of the rich to take an active interest in relieving the necessities of the poor," has, I think, been very fully dealt with by others.
Now it is a sad fact—but facts are stubborn things, and have to be faced—that the impulses prompting to evil in a child's nature are generally stronger than those prompting to good. As a writer of the day says, "You may call it original sin, or you may call it by its more modern name of heredity, but there it is." Take only the prompting with which we are just now concerned. The impulse to selfishness is from infancy plainly to be seen. "It's mine." "Give it to me." "I want it." "It's my turn." Are not these familiar phrases to anyone familiar with nursery life—the presence of that eternal "I," which from our birth on into our old age seems one of the most difficult things to eradicate from our moral constitution. Any effort to assist in arresting this state of things from the very first should be welcomed; and this assistance may, I think, be given by the "Ministering Children's League." For the habit of thinking for others, like all other habits, has to be formed. It does not, unfortunately, except in a very few rare instances, come naturally. We hear a great deal in these days about education. There is an eager search everywhere for new and improved "systems" of learning; but we must not forget that children need training as well as education: that it is indeed a part of education, and that it cannot be ignored without serious loss, not only to the child himself, but to the well-being and happiness of homes and of society in general.
Unselfishness and thoughtfulness for others begin, like charity, at home. It is there, therefore, that they must be inculcated. Now mothers are proverbially unselfish, and for this very reason are perhaps not the best people to teach their children to be unselfish, at any rate, as regards themselves. Anyone will endorse what I say who has seen in some homes the schoolboys lolling all over the drawing-room in the best armchairs, while their mother has to content herself with any she happens to find unoccupied (generally the one furthest away from the fire); or heard a child forcing a tired mother to go on reading out loud long after her voice is exhausted. Her gentle "I think, darling, I must leave off now: I am getting so dreadfully husky," only met with, "Oh, no, mother! Do just finish the chapter: it's only a few pages more," from the remorseless child. And no doubt a mother is placed in rather a difficult position in these ways; for if she insists on her children giving way to her comfort in all the little details of every-day life—if she turns her boy out of the armchair, and seats herself in it, etc.—she runs the risk of her children thinking her selfish, which, as example is always better than precept, would be, of course, fatal. In these matters a third person seems to be wanted, who would put it into the children's heads to be unselfish and considerate towards their mother. I daresay some people would say the father is the proper third person, and so no doubt he is; but then he is not always present; and even if he is, he is more often than not sitting absorbed in his newspaper or book, and is quite oblivious of what is going on.
And here, I think, is one of the ways in which this League is able to help. It acts, so to speak, the part of the third person, by directing the child's own attention to unselfishness and thoughtlessness for others. "Evil is wrought by want of thought" in most cases; but ten times more so in the case of children; who, naturally heedless and thoughtless, require to have their attention directed to a subject, and their consciences roused as regards it. All this the League no doubt does; and its aim is so simple that any child can understand it at once. Its initials (M. C. L.), forming as they do the first letters of the motto "Myself comes last," puts the whole thing into a nutshell. And in the consideration for others, I would include as of great importance the habit of consideration for the feelings of others.
How much happier homes would be in after life if this habit were always inculcated! The child who receives a present ungratefully and ungraciously; who throws cold water on the effort made to please him; who repels the little suggestion for his amusement; will very likely grow up into a surly man or woman, who is perpetually hurting the feelings of those with whom he or she lives, and chilling the atmosphere all round them. "It is always more gracious to accept than to refuse" is not at all a bad precept on which to bring children up; and from the first they should be checked when they meet a present, an offer, or a plan, with "I don't want that"; "I don't like that"; "I don't want to do that," etc., etc. These things seem trifling; but it is, after all, trifles that make up, not only the sum of human existence, but the sum of human happiness, above all, the happiness of home-life.
Grown-up sons with bad manners to their mothers, husbands with rough and morose manners to their wives, might have been very different had they had a little more training in their childhood as to the sensitive feelings of others, and been taught a little more care in not wounding them by discourtesy and unkindness. And since "everyone can in his daily course, if he will, shed round him almost a Heaven," it does seem a pity that in so many homes, the atmosphere shed around should be such a very different one. We hear a great deal now of undutiful daughters, and of the determined "independence," which is, after all, only another form of selfishness. To them the above remark will equally apply. And then another fact which has to be faced. In these restless days, the early training of children cannot, and does not, rest with the mother so entirely as it used to do. It must perforce devolve upon others, for the simple reason that the mother is so much more away from home.
That there are, unhappily, selfish and indifferent mothers, whose only thought is their own pleasure and amusement, we all know too well; but it is not of them that I would speak. Away or at home, it would make no difference to the children, they would probably be playing bridge with their friends in the drawing-room at the "children's hour". But even with mothers whom we would not for worlds class with such, the question is often not so much "What is the mother?" but "Where?" Locomotion is so easy, travelling so cheap, the desire for change so insistent, that people who some years ago would have gone to Brighton "for a little sun," now go to the Riviera; those who would have gone to the Riviera go to Algiers or Cairo; and those who would have gone to Algiers or Cairo go to India, North America, or Japan.
Then, too, the "week-end" visit has destroyed the children's Sunday, which used to be spent with their parents, and is now spent with the nurse or the governess. You have only to attend a children's service in London to see the change. A few years ago young mothers always brought their children themselves (and what a pretty sight it was!), whereas now you will see them come in most cases with the nurse or the governess. I do not say the mother can help it; she has her husband to think of, and he likes to travel and visit, etc. I am not concerned with causes—only with results; and the result of the restlessness of parents is that the children are left alone with nurses or governesses for long, long spaces of time. They thus often become the early influence in the child's life to a great extent instead of, or at any rate almost as much as, the mother.
What a help some outside guidance must be to them; putting ideas into their heads as to the training of the children left in their charge, and giving them encouragement in carrying them out, by the feeling of how many others are working with them for the same ends, and on the same lines.
For "L'Union fait la force"; and many a solitary young governess in her isolated schoolroom at the top of some big country house, with the consciousness heavy upon her of the emptiness and silence of all below, of the untenanted rooms with their shrouded furniture, with no one to talk over her little pupils with at the end of the day, no help or sympathy in her daily and often anxious and difficult task, might have her hands strengthened, her spirits cheered, and her thoughts guided, by being linked to a society like the "Ministering Children's League," and so carry out all the more effectually her vicarious duties. And thus, in the mother's often prolonged absences, valuable time would not be wasted; for childhood is short, it fleets rapidly away, and there is not time to be lost if early impressions are to be made.
And I would end by urging on all young mothers the supreme importance of early impressions, for from the influence hardly anyone, let him live as long as he may, ever completely shakes himself free. How strongly this comes out in biographies and autobiographies all readers of "Lives" know. Man after man bears testimony in his "Recollections" to the value of the impression made upon him in his childhood by his mother's teaching and influence. What is learnt at a good mother's knee clings even to the most hardened. He may go astray all his life, and her teaching may seem to lie dormant or dead, but oftentimes it comes back to him at the last, and with the dew of the early morning of his life still upon it.
"You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will cling round it still."

Rock'n' Ball, released in Japan as Family Pinball (ファミリーピンボール), is a Family Computer video game that was originally released in 1989. The video game was released in both Japan and North America. In the North American version, fictional human characters are used instead of the licensed Namco characters; four male characters and two female characters are at the player's disposal.
Compared to the North American version, the bumpers in the Japanese version are separately further and the players have more room to guide their ball around the playing surface. The Japanese version has a higher overall difficulty compared to the North American version despite the latter having bigger arches.

Q: What to do if app misses notification - SequenceNumber jumps over by one or more? Where I am right now? I have subscribed to calendar notifications via office365's REST API. When any event in that calendar are created/updated/deleted office365 sends notification to my app's endpoint which I assigned when I created this subscription. Subscription code works like a charm and notifications are coming immediately.
I really want to make my code error tolerant and here comes the problem: what happens if notifications are coming in non-incremental order? For example if someone first creates event and then removes it. Can those notifications come in opposite order? 1. remove event, 2. create event. I failed to find this in documentation.
I am really interested about how you have been handling SequenceNumber in your code.
This is what documentation says:

SequenceNumber - A number in sequence for a notification, to help the client app identify if it's missing a notification.

Okay, it's nice to know if I missed a notification, but can you tell me what to do in that case? This seems to be really poorly explained in anywhere.

*

*How SequenceNumber behaves e.g. can they come in non-incremental order?

*What to do if you miss a SequenceNumber?

What I have figured out by testing this, I see that SequenceNumber is always in incremental order. But I'm not sure is this always the case?
And more importantly, what to do IF my app misses SequenceNumber? I mean if there comes 1, 2, 3 and next one is 5 or 6, what should I do then?
Also I'm not quite sure if ChangeType: Missed has something to do with this. I'm really confused about this so any help would be appreciated! :)

A: What I have tested it never jumps over a SequenceNumber, but good practice is to build a notification Queue per subscription and handle notifications one by one ordered by SequenceNumber.
ChangeType: Missed doesn't tell much. Pretty much it tells you only what subscription has missed notification. With calendar integration I ended up to check which calendar corresponds that subscriptionId and then just run full sync to validate if there has any changes in office we missed or not.

Opinion: 'Beating cancer means beating it for everyone'
Michelle Mitchell
Cancer doesn't exist in a vacuum. The factors that determine which groups in society face the greatest burden also have a role to play in who's most likely to get cancer, and to die from it. These factors are complex, they are deeply woven into the fabric of our society – and they can't be ignored.
We've long felt that Cancer Research UK has a role to play in tackling inequalities, and I have a long-held interest in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. But the events of the past year brought issues of inequality into sharp focus, and that in turn focused our minds. In June we published our initial commitments, which included a commitment to becoming an organisation committed to EDI, and that we would develop a short-, medium- and long-term plan for how to get there.
I'm proud to be launching that strategy today. This marks a significant step forward for us as a charity, for our community and for our collective fight against cancer.
Michelle Mitchell is Cancer Research UK's chief executive.
Cancer Research UK is the largest funder of cancer research in the world. So we have a responsibility to make sure our research community is inclusive, diverse and thriving.
38 million people each year access health information developed by Cancer Research UK. So we must ensure that it is easy to access and easy to understand, for everyone.
We are a voice for people affected by cancer in the media, and to Governments. We have a responsibility to highlight where there are inequalities, and use our voice and our partnerships to make sure they're tackled.
We're a large organisation, employing 3,500 people and supported by 30,000 volunteers. Every person at Cancer Research UK needs to be supported to do their best work, we need to have a breadth of skills and experiences and the best leaders who also represent the communities we serve.
This strategy sets out the actions we're taking to meet these responsibilities. We want to create a charity where everyone feels like they belong, benefits from, and participates in the work we do.
This means becoming an anti-racist charity, challenging racism and discrimination whenever we encounter it in the scope of our work.
I'm proud of the progress we've already made over the past few years. We've doubled female membership on research committees, addressed a lack of diversity in clinical trials and published a report on socioeconomic inequalities in cancer.
But we've also made mistakes. We could've done more to tackle racial biases in academic research, had a stronger voice on health inequalities, and acted quicker to make sure that our communications materials reflected the diversity of our community.
By publishing this plan, I want to make a public commitment to change for the better. We will share our progress each year, be transparent where we haven't got it right, and always be open to learning. Because while this is a great step forward for Cancer Research UK, it is not the final step –we have to fulfil these commitments, learn as we go and in parallel, look towards our longer-term ambitions for change. As chief executive, I am personally committed to this and will be leading this change.

Q: Enum not returning from webapi call I have a seperate Enum class like this:
[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
public enum AStatus

    Unverified = 0,

    [EnumMember(Value = "Verified")]
    Verified = 1,

    [EnumMember(Value = "Error")]
    Error = 2,

    [EnumMember(Value = "ServiceDown")]
    ServiceDown = 3,
}

And I am using it like this:
[DataContract]
public partial class ResultDto

    [DataMember(Name="status", EmitDefaultValue=false)]
    public AStatus Status { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Name = "someOtherObjectList ", EmitDefaultValue = false)]

    public string Messages { get; set; }

    public string ToJson()
    {
        return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(this, Formatting.Indented);
    }
}

If I attach to the call, until ok(res), I have all properties but when I look at browser's network respose, Enum property is missing, I mean it's not in resultDto at all.

Q: How to show multiple GetX snackbars at once I want to popup multiple snackbars like they are on top of eachother.
Is there a way to do that ?
Get.snackbar(
   "test",
   "test",
    backgroundColor: secondaryColor,
    maxWidth: 350,
    margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: Get.height * 0.95),
    isDismissible: false,
  )

A: You can not show popup as stack.. with Get.snackbar because the Concept of Get is a Context less Widget tree. and for dialogue popup with Get each dialogue is created separated and show one and after such as ques FIFO.. for that approaches you need to think out side the Get then you will get your desire result
Happy Coding.... :)

What do you want to see this season?

Self-explanatory title. What do you guys want to see?
I'm hoping for an ultimatum year. I'm hoping the first 4 games without MT we can see if we can compete in a softer schedule. If we go 4-0 or 3-1 than great, if we go 0-4 or 1-3 great.
I feel the worst thing would be to finish as a .500 team that neither gives us a good drafting spot or playoffs.
Sadly, I think want I want and my expectations aren't going to meet up.
What do you want to see?

I want to see Jameis Winston with a real coach who knows how to coach a QB. Not Lovie Smith, not Dirk Koetter, not Bruce Arians, but a QB coach like Sean Payton. Winston hasn't had stability since college. I think this will be what makes or breaks our team this year.
In addition to that, I really want to see what our secondary can do. Such a giant question mark.
We've got our work cut out for us this season, and I'll be happy with a wildcard spot. I'm guessing we're somewhere around 10-7, 11-6.

I think a .500 team is by far the most realistic expectation though. We should be better than the bottom feeders, but will probably have to get a little lucky or hope Jameis has a career year to comfortably make playoffs.

18 weeks, 17 games = no way to get .500 😄

Playing the positive side a bit - where do you think we'll miss?
In the past few seasons, our team has gone 9-2 with backup QBs. Is our defense so bad this year that we all think we're a .500(ish) team?
I know we've lost a few guys, but the guys we lost were the guys we got when we lost other guys, so....
I actually think, with our core guys being in D.Allen's defense for several years now, this thing should run way smoother than it did in prior years when we're 1 year or 2 years with a DC and then they leave only to get another failure in.
On offense, we've got a QB (Hill) who was really accurate last season, just a turnover machine. He's been in the QB room this off season rather than in ALL the rooms.
The other QB (Winston) is a passing machine, and literally the only downside has been his turnovers. Again, with the right coach (which I think SP is) I think he could be really, really good!
So now it's a matter of "who are the QB's throwing to?" with MT out, and a bunch of almost no-names.
And we've got the best RB in the league
I don't think we're a 13-4 team, but I also don't think we're a 9-8/8-9 team.
Most of the games we won with backups in, the defense played completely out of their minds. The offense basically grounded to a halt for the most part, with the exception of 1 or 2 games. If that same defense shows up, then sure, we can win lota of games 16-10 or whatever.
I do think Jameis at his best is a much better QB than Teddy or Taysom, but it remains to be seen which Jameis shows up. And he wont have Michael Thomas.

Must say I'm excited to see how Marquez Callaway does this year. Sounds like he has been excellent in training camp, and showed flashes last season. He has quite the opportunity to show what he can do after the Michael Thomas fiasco.
The thing I'm really interested in, regarding MT and his style, is actually not about MT, it's about the routes they created for him in light of Drew's noodle arm over the last 3 seasons. I'm not sure MT had many contested catches. I'm not sure the stat on that, but he would run a route and find a weak spot to where Brees could just throw it his direction, often 10 feet up in the air, MT would be there, jump up & snag it, and then go straight to the ground.
With these new guys having the arm strength to chuck it 40,50,60 yards down field, I think we'll see a whole new offense, and new talent emerge that isn't MT, as he's no longer the favorite guy of Brees, much like Colston was, and Graham was.
I believe Brees (and Payton's designs) deserves just as much credit for MT's success as MT does. Not that he's not a top 5-10 WR, but the designs were huge!
I'm curious to see Tre'Quan in the WR corps.


U2 Browtique & Day Spa is now offering Perfect Touch™ cosmetic skin treatments. This new concept in aesthetics is a unique versatile NON-INVASIVE aesthetic device its based on High frequency ultrasonic technology that delivers instantaneous results in removal of common superficial skin irregularities conditions the you see on daily bases with minimal discomfort.
The process uses a high frequency electrical current that delivers precise electrical sparks through a micro electric probe to dehydrate a skin growth. It is an electrical treatment device, not an operating tool or surgical device.
Results are seen almost immediately and all treatment are permanent.
There is no blood associated with the treatment. The skin blemishes are dehydrated and a scab replaces the area where the growth originated. From this point on, new skin cells start regenerating from underneath. The treated area will heal and new healthy skin will return and gradually take on the color of the surrounding tissue.
The process works on all skin type, males and females.
Does Perfect Touch™ treatment hurt?

Biographie
Entre (1945-48), il étudie le piano classique, puis s'oriente vers le jazz. Il suit l'enseignement de la BerkleeSchool (1955-58), étudiant aussi avec Jaki Byard et Herb Pomeroy qui l'engage dans le grand orchestre et les petites formations qu'il dirige. Hal Galper joue dans le quintette de Chet Baker (1964-65), puis avec Donald Byrd, Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Attila Zoler, Randy Brecker, avec des vocalistes: Joe Williams, Anita O'Day, Dakota Staton… Il remplace George Duke dans le quintette de Cannonball Adderley (1972-75), puis reçoit (grâce à l'appui de Lee Konitz et Phil Woods) une bourse du National Endowment For The Arts qui lui permet de constituer un quintette (avec, notamment, Randy et Michael Brecker) pour lequel il compose. Il se produit aussi avec John Scofield et devient, en 1981 le pianiste régulier du quintette de Phil Woods, qu'il quittera en 1990.

Il enregistre à cette époque deux albums en solo At Café des Copains et Live At Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol.6

En 1992, il enregistre en trio avec Wayne Dockery (b) et Steve Ellington (dm).

Pianiste complet et brillant, il parait tour à tour sous l'influence de Red Garland, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, avec pour constantes un jeu puissant, presque athlétique, une articulation franche et un goût prononcé pour des effets appuyés, parfois jusqu'à la redondance.

Tag: Constitution
Russian homophobic singer against gays. He calls for a vote for amendments to the constitution of the Russian Federation, so that gays could not adopt children. The homophobic singer claims that in this way you can show that you love your homeland. He has over 550,000 followers on Instagram.
Update. Two hours later, a homophobic singer posted a video on Instagram with excuses that it was a test by his fans. To which fans and subscribers wrote to him that their love does not require verification, that this is all very stupid. Everyone hastened to write that this is the end of his career, that the most devoted fans unsubscribe from his account and delete his music in their playlists.
As a result, the homophobic singer deleted both videos from instagram, but this will not change his attitude towards him. With this speech, he supported the first homophobic video against gays about the constitution of the Russian Federation.

Tatyana Lokshina, deputy head of the Human Rights Watch (HRW) international human rights organization's organization in Europe and Central Asia, criticized the proposed amendments to the Russian Constitution regarding the notion of marriage – in her opinion, it "discriminates" representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation in the country.
Earlier, State Duma Vice-Speaker Petr Tolstoy stated the need for the constitution to define marriage as a union of a man and a woman, which should stop speculation on the issue of granting certain rights to people of non-traditional sexual orientation. According to him, this step ensures that "no international institutions can continue to impose any special rights on the LGBT community in Russia."
"Homophobia in Russia is strong enough and is even more intensified after the adoption of discriminatory legislation and relevant rhetoric in the media," she said.
At the same time, in her opinion, Tolstoy's rhetoric was also directed at the West.
"Perhaps, speaking to a Russian audience, Mr. Tolstoy simultaneously sends a certain signal to Western partners that not only is Russia not going to repeal discriminatory legislation, but on the contrary, he and a number of his colleagues consider it right to enforce discriminatory norms in the constitution," the representative added HRW.
She explained that she had in mind the so-called law on the prohibition of gay propaganda.
The co-chair of the working group, Pavel Krasheninnikov, stated that the constitutional definition of marriage proposed by Tolstoy was not entirely correct, since there are single-parent families, and the concept of marriage is enshrined in the Family Code.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with members of a working group to prepare proposals for amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation, said that while he was president, Russia would not have a parent number one and number two – "there will be a father and mother." At the same time, the head of state did not specify whether this norm should be prescribed in the main law of the country.

Kalin & Myles' debut LP (out today) has been (an excruciatingly-long) four years in the making. Following a string of self-produced EPs and one-off singles, the 12-track project (on Republic) is the first time the Bay Area duo have exuded the kind of artistry that has solidified acts like Big Sean and Jason Derulo into the pop pantheon. The anchoring lead-in, Brokenhearted, is a charming blend of urban vibrancy and Top 40-pounding immediacy, ringing the alarm of massive hypnotics and polish. The duo combs together smooth melodies constructed over astonishing hip-hop fumes, amassing global appeal and attainability. Hands All Over and Change My Life are heart-racing strings of commercial notions, allowing tracks like the psychedelic, dance-escape Out My Mind and the brash Get it Get It (featuring P-LO) to scatter the album into especially cool, experimental moments.
It is when Kalin and Myles freely play outside the urban lines that results in some of the more compelling tracks. 808, with Jack & Jack, is an exceptionally dazed sucker-punch, which opens up into a biting and sweeping chorus. The slow-jam Curfew Overtime and the sensual coo of I See You, too, are resounding climactic peaks of vocal delicacy, provocative narratives and accomplished musicality. The production is often packed on thick throughout Kalin & Myles, but the singers utilize the sweet parts of their instruments to permit the lyrics to explode into the sky. Do What You Do is a particularly personal, vulnerable, raw album closer; they are more than just fun-loving guys living the dream. "Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the present and what it really means to really be present," Myles drops on the first verse, leading into the idea of what success, fame and fortune really do mean. "Success is being able to find happiness within yourself before you put it into something else. Being happy is the most successful thing you can experience in this life," the performer shared with us this week. At the core of the record, it is evident Kalin and Myles are happy. "I came to have fun," they profess on the slinky Lil Function preamble. Suiting up drama-free music built from grassroots social efforts and a foundation of throwback R&B nods, the duo's first full-length is admirable, solid even (Shake It and Taking My Time, with Kool John, for example, are not inherently memorable or clever) and should lead to a satisfying career for both them and their fans.
Must-Listen Tracks: "Get It Get It," "Do What You Do," "808," "Out My Mind"
Stay tuned for Kalin & Myles updates. Be sure to follow @Popdust and @JasonTheScott on Twitter!


Lie group analysis of exotic options.
Exotic options are derivatives which have features that makes them more complex than vanilla traded products. Thus, finding their fair value is not always an easy task. We look at a particular example of the exotic options - the power option - whose payoffs are nonlinear functions of the underlying asset price. Previous analyses of the power option have only obtained solutions using probability methods for the case of the constant stock volatility and interest rate. Using Lie symmetry analysis we obtain an optimal system of the Lie point symmetries of the power option PDE and demonstrate an algorithmic method for finding solutions to the equation. In addition, we find a new analytical solution to the asymmetric type of the power option. We also focus on the more practical and realistic case of time dependent parameters: volatility and interest rate. Utilizing Lie symmetries, we are able to provide a new exact solution for the terminal pay off case. We also consider the power parameter of the option as a time dependent factor. A new solution is once again obtained for this scenario.

The Six Fix: Queenly Ways Maxine Medina Inspired Us With Her Words
Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina has gotten plenty of flak these days, from her English communication skills to comparisons with current Miss Universe titleholder Pia Wurtzbach.
[related: The Six Fix: Maxine Medina Traveler Styles You Can Rock Anywhere In The World]
Yet as the 65th Miss Universe pageant draws closer, the 26-year-old contender has exuded nothing but grace under (rather intense) pressure. Below are some of the inspiring messages she's shared on social media that we believe not only reflect her poise, but show just how much an impact they make when applied:
1. "As I start my journey as Philippine representative, to all my kababayans, please let us spread kindness. Let us all welcome our guests with open arms. Let them experience genuine Filipino hospitality and let the beauty of our hearts radiate as we host the 65th Miss Universe Beauty Pageant!" What we learned: Show common courtesy to whoever you meet, wherever they're from. We may not be in the exact position she's in, what with meeting people of all sorts of nationalities, but it never hurts to receive them (as well as our own kabababayans) with genuine Filipino friendliness and respect.
2. "Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. - Ralph Waldo Emerson" What we learned: It's easy to be unappreciative of the highs in life, especially if so much time has passed since they happened. But even if you have finally gotten to where you want to be, Maxine reminds us to remember and be thankful for the events that led your there.
3. "Fill your life with adventures, not things. Love the nature." What we learned: The beauty queen encourages us to collect experiences and appreciate Mother Earth. She urges us to do things that are exciting and that can be felt, rather than live a life collecting or hoarding that which can be purchased.
4. "NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE the word itself says, I'M POSSIBLE'." What we learned: Sometimes, it's a matter of perspective. If someone like Maxine doesn't allow setbacks get in the way of learning and improving [throughout the competition], we don't need to either.
5. "I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink into a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy. - Og Mandino." What we learned: Maxine has come a long way, and will stop at nothing to win the coveted Miss Universe crown. Talk about true determination!
6. "People can say anything about you. They can call you names but the most important journey in life bgins within you. Everything is worth it ever since I entered this world of pageantry. I learned how to love myself and how to appreciate my entirety. Yes, we are all different by colors, sizes, and shapes. We are extraordinary. We are flawed. We are unique. We are vulnerable. We are loved. And most of all, we can be the change that we want to be." What we learned: No matter what anyone says, we should learn to love who we are and what we strive to become.
