Q: How to add runat=server attribute to html buttons I have multiple html buttons that generated from server side with a method on a csharp class.
 the result is:
<button ID='btn1' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>
<button ID='btn2' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>
<button ID='btn3' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>
...
<button ID='btnN' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>

I also add btn_Click event to behind code:
protected void btn_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string id = (sender as Control).ClientID;
    msg = id;
}

as you can see I want to get buttonId but when I click on any of buttons, btn_Click  won't call and I can't get buttonId.
 I am using asp.net website with c#4.0.
The problem is I need generate buttons using server side and runat attribute doesn't work with my method . how can I fix this problem?
 this is my method body for generated buttons
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
        {
            DateTime dtTemp = DateTime.Parse(dt.Rows[i]["messageDate"].ToString());
            if (dt.Rows[i]["isRead"].ToString() == "True")
                readed = "MessageReaded";
            else
                readed = "MessageNew";
            post += "
"
                + "
"
                + "
"
                + "
<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='modal' aria-label='Close'>×</button>
subject : " + dt.Rows[i]["subject"].ToString() + "

"
                + "

date : " + dtTemp.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd") + "
"
                + "
Time : " + dt.Rows[i]["messageTime"].ToString() + "
"
                + "
email : " + dt.Rows[i]["email"].ToString() + "

"
                + "
" + dt.Rows[i]["message"].ToString() + "
"
                + "
<button type='button' class='btn btn-default' data-dismiss='modal'>close</button>"
                + "<button ID='btn" + dt.Rows[i]["messageId"].ToString() + "'  class='btn btn-danger' onclick='DeleteMessage_Click'>Delete</button>
"
                + "

";
            string narrow = Special.TimeToNarrow(dt.Rows[i]["messageDate"].ToString(), dt.Rows[i]["messageTime"].ToString());
            post += "" + narrow + " "
                     + dt.Rows[i]["name"].ToString() + " : " + dt.Rows[i]["subject"].ToString() + "";
        }

So the problem is on
<button ID='btn" + dt.Rows[i]["messageId"].ToString() + "' runat='server'  class='btn btn-danger' onserverclick='DeleteMessage_Click'>Delete</button>

EDIT MY POST : As you can see I can't use asp:button because using bootstrap modal. If you think that I can still use asp:button please write your code and show me how .thanks

A: There's no onserverclick in asp.
You should add the asp:Button tag instead of just Button and instead of onserverclick just OnClick
Something like:
<asp:Button ID='btn1' runat='server' Text="Apply" OnClick='btn_Click'/>

EDIT
The button generation method should look like this:
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++){

<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='modal' aria-label='Close'>×</button>
subject :subject

Date : yyyy/MM/dd

TimemessageTime

Emailemail

message

                   <button type='button' class='btn btn-default' data-dismiss='modal'>close</button>
                   <asp:Button ID='btn" + dt.Rows[i]["messageId"].ToString() + "' runat='server'  class='btn btn-danger' OnClick='DeleteMessage_Click'>Delete</button>

You can see that on this line: <button ID='btn" + dt.Rows[i]["messageId"].ToString() + "' runat='server'  class='btn btn-danger' onserverclick='DeleteMessage_Click'>Delete</button> i have changed the button with asp:Button and the onserverclick with OnClick.

A: As other's have said, the problem is ASP.NET won't recognise runat="server" when you generate your controls as a string of HTML.
Your code should probably be done in a much different way, but if you wanted a change to what you have already done that will work you could do this a little differently.
Instead of runat="server" on your buttons, make them submit buttons and assign them a name and value, for example...
Instead of this:
<button ID='btn1' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>
<button ID='btn2' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>
<button ID='btn3' runat='server' onserverclick='btn_Click'>Apply</button>

Do this (note they all have the same name):
<button name="btn" type="submit" value="1">Apply</button>
<button name="btn" type="submit" value="2">Apply</button>
<button name="btn" type="submit" value="3">Apply</button>

Then in your Page_Load event you can detect if one of these buttons was clicked with the following:
if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
    if (Request.Form["btn"] != null)
    {
         //A btn was clicked, get it's value
         int btn = int.Parse(Request.Form["btn"]);

         //Do something with this btn number
    }
}

Here's a little sample that has three buttons and displays the number of the button that was clicked:
Test.aspx
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Test.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title></title>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <button name="btn" type="submit" value="1">Apply</button>
        <button name="btn" type="submit" value="2">Apply</button>
        <button name="btn" type="submit" value="3">Apply</button>
    </form>

test.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class Test : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            if (Request.Form["btn"] != null)
            {
                int btn = int.Parse(Request.Form["btn"]);

                Response.Write(btn);
            }
        }
    }
}

A: The previous comments are correct, there is no onserverclick in asp.net server control. onserverclick is available for html controls only.
Below code piece does the job;
protected void btn1_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HtmlButton btn = (HtmlButton)sender;

    btn.InnerText = btn.ID;
}

Cast the sender to HtmlButton to access the ID. You have to use the namespace 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls'.
EDIT:
If the buttons are being dynamically generated then better to use server button control;
 <asp:Button ID="btnAddUser" runat="server" Text="Add"  OnClick="btnAddUser_Click" />

Blizzard veteran James Anhalt has also been hired as chief architect
Frost Giant Studios raised $5 million from Kona Venture Partners, Global Founders Capital, RXBar's co-founder Jared Smith, and entrepreneur Eden Chen.
The investment will go towards scaling the development team as the studio works on its debut title, a real-time strategy game.
The studio, founded by former Blizzard devs Tim Morten and Tim Campbell last year, also appointed former StarCraft II lead engineer James Anhalt as chief architect. He'll be overseeing Frost Giant's engineering initiatives after 20 years at Blizzard.

Anhalt commented: "I am excited to work with this outstanding and talented team to bring fun RTS gameplay to as many fans as possible. Frost Giant's strong foundation gives us the ability and opportunity to create RTS games that appeal to more players than ever before."

La seconda declinazione del greco antico è una declinazione prevalentemente formata da nomi maschili e neutri.

La vocale tematica è la -ο-, che unisce il tema alle desinenze.

Tabella delle terminazioni
Maschile e femminile

Neutro

Accentazione

L'accento tende a rimanere nella posizione in cui si trova al caso nominativo e accusativo nel rispetto delle leggi dell'accentazione. Il dittongo οι viene considerato breve per sinizesi. I nomi ossitoni, vale a dire quelli con accento sull'ultima sillaba, diventano perispòmeni, cioè con l'accento circonflesso sull'ultima sillaba, al genitivo e al dativo di tutti i numeri. Se l'ultima sillaba è lunga, i nomi properispòmeni (cioè con l'accento circonflesso sulla penultima sillaba) e proparossìtoni (cioè con l'accento sulla terzultima sillaba), si trasformano in parossìtoni (ossia con l'accento acuto sulla penultima sillaba).

Nomi maschili e femminili
I nomi maschili e femminili della seconda declinazione seguono le uscite sopra elencate.
Qui di séguito la declinazione del sostantivo maschile , -ου, "essere umano, uomo" e del femminile, con accento sull'ultima sillaba, , -, "strada":

Nomi neutri
I nomi neutri, ai casi retti (nominativo, accusativo, vocativo), sono identici, mentre ai casi obliqui presentano le medesime uscite dei nomi maschili e femminili. Sotto, la declinazione del sostantivo , -ου, "veleno/medicina":

Seconda declinazione contratta

La seconda declinazione contratta è caratteristica di pochi sostantivi maschili e neutri. Alcuni esempi sono il maschile , , "ingegno, spirito" e il neutro , -, "osso". Da notare l'accentazione irregolare dei casi retti del duale: poiché l'accento prima della contrazione si trova sulla prima vocale, ci si aspetterebbe che la vocale contratta risultante porti l'accento circonflesso, cioè una parola perispomena, ma invece porta l'accento acuto (o grave, a seconda del contesto), ed è cioè ossitono. Probabilmente questa irregolarità deriva da analogia con altri sostantivi ossitoni.
È sottoelencata la declinazione di entrambi i sostantivi:

Found Poetry Review
I came across this journal when I was looking for some unique places to send found poetry. Found Poetry Review says that "found poetry is the literary version of a collage. Poets select a source text or texts — anything from traditional texts like books, magazines and newspapers to more nontraditional sources like product packaging, junk mail or court transcripts — then excerpt words and phrases from the text(s) to create a new piece."
One example from this issue:
Travels with Sarah
by Johanna Donovan
Across the hotel, a wind almost
shakes the trees from their cages.
I'm afraid of myself here, at the bottom
of the sky.
My heart is the shape of Spain
and even the rain is sick of Italy.
Go out, go out wherever you are.
I hum the lake. Every night it's there
in my ear, leaving, arriving…and I'm
reminded of a snowless winter light
years ago when I loved someone
too young for me. How we have fallen
behind in the story.
Mind the pigeons plumbing through
the sky like dirty hands through water!
I've forgotten what I wished for;
perhaps it has come quietly.
Source: Cento from the final lines (and one mid-poem line) of poems by Sarah J. Sloat: "Postcards from Paris", "From the Back of My Mind", ""Rioja", "Here on Business", "Outdoor Cafe, October", "Hive", "Waterfall", "Across the Time Zones", "Mid-March", "Train 21" and "Snow Path."
My favorite verb in the poem is "plumbing" from the next to last stanza. This style of writing would appeal to anyone who likes the magpie approach to poems, collecting shiny bits here and there and connecting the dots.
Annie Dillard says this about found poetry:
"Happy poets who write found poetry go pawing through popular culture like sculptors on trash heaps. They hold and wave aloft usable artifacts and fragments: jingles and ad copy, menus and broadcasts — all objet trouvés, the literary equivalents of Warhol's Campbell's soup cans and Duchamp's bicycle. By entering a found text as a poem, the poet doubles its context. The original meaning remains intact, but now it swings between two poles. The poet adds, or at any rate increases, the element of delight. This is an urban, youthful, ironic, cruising kind of poetry. It serves up whole texts, or interrupted fragments of texts." — Annie Dillard
Annie Dillard has her own book of found poems out. It's titled, Mornings Like This: Found Poems.

A found poem or a cento is a collaborative art. Lately I've been reading Wolf Cento by Simone Muench. I like how she takes lines from hundreds of poems and repurposes them to fit a theme. I see this kind of writing as a way to liberate the poetic voice from the ego or identity of the poet.
lynnpedersenpoetry August 6, 2015 at 11:14 pm
I've looked at Wolf Cento, and it is amazing that the lines don't seem to be drawn from different sources. I think you are right that an approach like this can lead to new insights and rhythms.

I've been writing quite a lot of found poetry in the last couple of years, especially the last two Aprils for the Found Poetry Review's month-long challenges. Centos are one of my favourite found forms. The Donovan poem is an excellent one, seamless as it mixes lines from other voices. I am going to check out the Annie Dillard book as well. Have read Wolf Centos. And loved it. Also Hooking by Mary Dalton from Newfoundland.

Thanks so much for mentioning Dalton's book! I haven't done the FPR April challenge but it sounds productive!

Watch the video to see all the cool things I've learned and tried along the path of being shampoo-free!
I've been shampoo-free for 3 years now, which basically means I wash my hair with baking soda and water, and then condition it with apple cider vinegar and water. That being said, today I used products! Oh my!
A New Cut + 16 Months Shampoo-Free!
New cut. Same commitment. And a very happy head of hair.
After a full year without a satisfying and soapy wash, I can truly say that I don't LOVE being shampoo-free but I'm glad I did it. Here's why.
Lucy of Lulastic and the Hippyshake blog has been a huge part of my shampoo-free adventure thanks to her fabulous ebook, Happy Hair: The Definitive Guide To Giving Up Shampoo. Now she has a Happy Hair Detox E-Course to help people through the no-poo experience!
Usually by this length I get my hair cut for one of three reasons: 1. It's dry and has a number of split ends so I cut it back to perfect health. 2. I hate the feeling of hair on my upper back. Like really hate it. So chop, chop, chop! 3. The previous style is long outgrown and I need it to be reshaped and that always means losing length. Always.
My hair seems to be growing like a mofo in the past 2 months especially. I continue to wash my hair once a week with either baking soda and water or an egg, and I condition with apple cider vinegar and water or fresh lemon juice and water.
I've changed my hair routine a lot since I began this journey because experimentation is the key. Nothing works for everyone so it's up to us to find what makes our hair the happiest through trial and error. Here's what I've been doing.
I celebrated my fourth month of being shampoo-free by giving myself my first bang trim since my Deva Curl cut back in December. I also spoiled my hair with a homemade deep conditioner that looks a lot like guacamole.
Admittedly I was hell-bent on using water-only from the start. If that was going to be the end result eventually anyways, then I wanted to skip all the middle steps and go straight for the gold even if it took a little longer. But it's no longer working so I have a Plan B.
After a few overzealous posts on Facebook about my upcoming hair transformation, the day has finally arrived and I got a fresh new look that feels fantastic! I've also included 3 tips I just learned on how to keep your curls happy.
After week 7's hair breakthrough, I thought for sure the transition was complete and I looked forward to seeing how my "new" hair would adapt to life in Mandyland. Well, the celebration was short-lived.
It was a double-egging last night that finished off the process. Up until this point I have only washed my hair with a water rinse once or sometimes twice a week. I knew I was over the worst of it and I was craving something that would clean up the remaining guck once and for all.
I seem to be in what I'll call the "sludge" stage. Nothing you can see. Just a heaviness throughout much of the hair that feels sticky and icky. It's not that my hair is greasy or oily at the top like it was at the beginning. It's just dense.
In the last 2 weeks I've washed my hair just once and last night I decided I won't be washing it ever again. Yes, you read that right. Yes, I wash everything else. No, I'm not nuts. No, my hair isn't smelly.

The Great War (also known as World War I, WWI or the First World War) began in 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918.
The first phase of this Project is to gather information about the men commemorated on the Hampton Wick War Memorial who fought in the Great War.
The second phase, now underway, is to gather information about some of the other Hampton Wick residents who fell in the Great War but who, for whatever reason, were not commemorated on the War Memorial.
Most of the information collected so far is to be found in The People.
You will find also a number of links to Hampton Wick History which traces the development of Hampton Wick from 1750 to the present day, detailing many of the properties in which people commemorated on this site lived.
This website has been produced with the generous support of the Hampton Wick Association.
The first phase of this Project is to gather information about the men commemorated on the Hampton Wick War Memorial who fought in the Great War, also known as World War I, WWI or the First World War.

15 x 18 x 5 in.
Emily Schnellbacher Bean is a soft-sculpture and installation artist with a penchant for process, a passion for color, and a fetish for fabric. She references forms and elements drawn from the natural world and the human body, each of which intermingles throughout her work creating playful moments of abstraction. Her process of sewing and handling repeated forms, each rendered in painstaking detail, reflects a meditative and craft-oriented approach to art-making.
Bean earned her BFA from Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis, IN with a focus on painting, art history, and psychology and an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA with an emphasis on mixed-media. All play an important role in her practice today. She also teaches workshops and exhibits regularly in both group and solo shows; recent venues include N'namdi Center for Contemporary Art (Detroit, MI), Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor, MI), The Governor's Island Art Fair (New York, NY), and The Philadelphia Sculpture Gym (Philadelphia, PA).

How Much Power Does Vegas Actually Use?
By Samantha Beckett April 5, 2017
It was recently confirmed that Las Vegas officially became the largest city in the US to be entirely powered by renewable energy sources. This achievement is even more remarkable when you think about how much power Sin City manages to gobble up.
Let's take a look at exactly how much power Las Vegas gets through in a year to give this landmark occasion some context.
Forbes recently claimed that reports that the city was 100% powered by renewable energy were false and said that actually, it was in fact the city's government that was totally renewable energy-powered it is still worth finding out more about the city's power consumption.
It's one of the worst kept secrets in the world that Las Vegas consumes a massive amount of power to operate its stunning light displays. Although it's easy to forget that the power required to run the actual casinos of the city is just as huge.
Casino floors in venues like Caesars Palace, Las Vegas Sands and the MGM Grand are packed full of extravagant displays that require power. Add in all those thousands of slot machines and gaming tables and you've got yourself some serious energy requirements. That explains why casinos account for 20% of the power consumption of Las Vegas each year.
Image Credit: Listverse.com
When looking at Vegas' power usage, it makes makes sense to begin with that massive beacon of light that shoots into the desert sky that comes from the Luxor Beam.
The light spectacle was officially opened alongside the resort on 15th October, 1993. It was constructed using 39 individual 7,000 watt bulbs. Nowadays, only half of those lights are turned on.
Owners MGM Resorts claim the beam's reduced brightness is just down to the casino caring about reducing light pollution. Cynics reckon it has more to do with cutting costs.
The Luxor Beam is regarded as the most powerful light in the world with all of the lights producing 40 billion candle power.
Despite reports suggesting that the beam costs $1 million per year to run, it only costs less than half that amount at an approximate $51 per hour, according to Luxor engineer John Lichtsteiner.
Simply Illuminating
Image Credit. Nasa. gov
Las Vegas is often referred to as the 'City of Lights' and it is easy to see why.
The city's skyline is visible from miles around the Nevada landscape due to the illuminating features that scatter the city. In fact, the Las Vegas Strip is so bright that it can be seen from space. This has been documented by astronauts such as Colonel Chris Hadfield.
Image Credit: @Cmdr_Hadfield/Twitter
Even before we begin to look at the facts and figures behind the power required to generate these light set pieces, you can see the scale we are dealing with.
It makes you wonder, if Las Vegas can be totally powered by renewable energy then why can't every other city in the world manage the same thing? Do you hear that Donald Trump with your executive orders to repeal environmental and climate change laws?
The Fountains of Bellagio
One of the other main users of energy within Las Vegas is often identified as the Fountains of the Bellagio. Turns out stunning light displays, booming loud music and jets that are powerful enough to spray gallons of water 245 feet into air need a lot of power.
The fountains at the Bellagio cost a total of $5 million per year to operate. It is open for debate how much of that money is recouped for the city by tourists that visit to experience the fountains.
If you have not visited Las Vegas yourself then you have probably seen a music video or a movie where the Fremont Street Experience is shown. It's a rooftop of beautiful illuminations that is unmatched by anything across the globe.
The original display consisted of 2.1 million bulbs with a sound system that required 350,000 watts of energy. In 2004, the light display was upgraded to hold a 12.5 million LED-display with the sound system upgraded to 550,000 watts.

Otter Cove ist eine kleine Bucht an der Ostseite der Landspitze Straight Point in der Nähe von Exmouth, in der Grafschaft Devon, an der Kanalküste im Südwesten Englands.

Straight Point und damit Otter Cove liegen etwa sechzehn Kilometer südlich der Stadt Exeter, vier Kilometer südöstlich von Exmouth und etwa elf Kilometer südwestlich von Sidmouth. Straight Point wird von den Marines als Schießplatz genutzt. Otter Cove ist daher vom Land aus nicht frei zugänglich, sondern nur zu Fuß bei Ebbe von Littleham Cove aus erreichbar.

Geologie
Von Orcombe Point bei Exmouth bis zu Old Harry Rocks östlich von Studland Bay erstreckt sich im Osten Devons und in Dorset ein 155 Kilometer langer Küstenstreifen, der als erste Naturlandschaft in England von der UNESCO ins Weltnaturerbe aufgenommen wurde. Straight Point und Otter Cove sind Teile dieser sogenannten Jurassic Coast.

Die Gesteinsschichten der Jurassic Coast sind leicht nach Osten verkippt. Die geologisch ältesten Gesteine befinden sich daher im westlichsten Abschnitt dieses Küstengeotops. Nach Osten hin nimmt das mittlere Alter der Gesteine sukzessive ab. Die natürlichen Aufschlüsse entlang der Küste bilden eine weitgehend kontinuierliche Abfolge, die von Ablagerungen der Trias, über die des Jura bis hin zu jenen der Kreidezeit reicht und einen erdgeschichtlichen Zeitraum von insgesamt etwa 185 Millionen Jahren repräsentiert. Der Ablagerungsraum, der die Sedimentserien der Jurassic Coast seinerzeit aufnahm, ist das sogenannte Wessex Becken.

Die Felsen an der Steilküste bei Otter Cove gehören zum westlichsten und somit geologisch ältesten Teil der Jurassic Coast. Sie sind spätpermischen und/oder frühtriassischen Alters und bestehen vorwiegend aus Schichten roten Sandsteins. Lithostratigraphisch gehören sie zur "Exmouth Mudstone and Sandstone Formation" (in etwa übersetzbar mit "Exmouth-Ton-und-Sandstein-Formation"), die wiederum zur "Aylesbeare Mudstone Group" ("Alyesbeare-Tonstein-Gruppe") gehört, und wurden durch die Tätigkeit von Flüssen unter semiariden bis semihumiden klimatischen Bedingungen abgelagert. Damit ist die Exmouth-Formation sowohl hinsichtlich ihrer Entstehung als auch ihres Alters und ihrer Petrographie eng verwandt mit einigen bedeutenden permischen und triassischen Sedimentserien in Mitteleuropa, z. B. mit der Tambach-Formation des Thüringer Waldes oder dem in Deutschland weit verbreiteten Buntsandstein.

Die Sandstein-Abfolge im Kliff von Straight Point und folglich auch die von Otter Cove bildet den geologisch jüngsten Teil des Typus-Profils der Exmouth-Formation.

Durch die relativ hohe Erosionsresistenz der Sandsteine gegenüber den Tonsteinen, aus denen das Kliff der Sandy Bay und das Kliff östlich von Otter Cove bestehen, konnte sich die Landspitze von Straight Point überhaupt erst bilden. Zudem konnte so an der Süd- und Ostseite von Straight Point eine schmale Brandungsplattform knapp über dem Ebbniveau entstehen.

Serbia: Open letter to the Serbian Parliament
Women in Black Belgrade/Zene u crnom Beograd
An open letter by Women in Black Belgrade to the Serbian Parliament related to the 2005 draft resolution 'Women, Peace, and Security,' on the participation of women in peace-building and deciding issues of peace from a feminist standpoint.
Antimilitarism and non-violence are our spiritual orientation and our political choice. We reject military power and the production of arms for the killing of people, of human working nature, and for the domination of one sex, nation, or state over another.
The President of the National Parliament of the Republic of Serbia
The Vice-President of the Parliament
All Members of the National Parliament of the Republic of Serbia
Dear Sirs and Madams,
A year has passed since October 31, 2005, the date we delivered our draft resolution 'Women, Peace, and Security,' which is related to the issue of participation of women in peace-building and deciding issues of peace from a feminist standpoint. Even though many MPs supported our draft resolution and on November 9, the International Day of Action against Fascism and Racism, parliamentary procedures for the adoption of the resolution were initiated, The National Parliament still has not adopted any resolution related to UN Security Council 1325 through which the Republic of Serbia would formally fulfill its obligation as a UN member state.
All UN member states, and today Serbia is a member of that union of independent states, are obligated to implement the demands of Resolution 1325 which are related to the participation of women and the inclusion of a gender perspective in peace processes, the protection of women in areas of crisis and war from violence, and the inclusion of a gender perspective in the responding processes used in peace treaties. Additionally, this resolution requires member states to criminal prosecute those accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, including crimes of sexual violence against women. The belief of the parliamentary majority (the same group which obstructs all attempts to confront the past) is that Serbia today has more important business than fulfilling obligations that result from its membership in the UN – this is an expression of extreme irresponsibility in the view of the most basic state interests:
How can it be expected that international organization and UN members to respect even most justified interests of Serbia if this is a Serbian state which does not fulfill its obligations which are based on the basic ideas of democracy?
The new constitution will be futile if the state in which the constitution is enacted ignores even the formal dimension of the need to adhere to basic values of democracy and to fulfill the obligations which result from its membership in the international community.
Therefore, we are once again delivering the resolution to you, proposing that the National Parliament adopts in this session in which it will adopt the new constitution and its accompanying laws. Instead of responsibility, this occasion illustrates ignorance. Your assembly of parliament will compete for the title of the worst and most irresponsible democratically elected parliament in the history of Serbian parliamentarianism.
Therefore, we invite you to fulfill your obligation to the citizens of Serbia, to the international community, and to your own conscience.
We will deliver our demand to the Parliament of Serbia on October 31, 2006, the six anniversary of the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, 'Women, Peace, and Security.'

Ashland Products plant to close in Indiana
Michael Lauzon
LOWELL, IND. (Sept. 19, 3:20 p.m. ET) — A Newell Rubbermaid Inc. subsidiary that makes window and door hardware plans to close a plastics plant in Lowell.
Ashland Products Inc. told the Indiana Department of Workforce Development that it will close the facility March 31. Ashland said in a Sept. 14 notice that 66 employees will be affected by the closure.
The company makes more than 4,000 window and door hardware components, such as latches, hinges and locks, out of metals and plastics. Its other plants are in Hunterville, N.C.; Toronto; and Monterrey, Mexico.
Ashland said its plastics processes include injection molding and insert molding.
The company issued the closure notice to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
Newell Rubbermaid is based in Alpharetta, Ga.

The format of the sequence must be either FASTA, Clustal or raw sequence.
You may also upload the sequence as a file.
If the desired template for modelling is known and is found in the SMTL, an alignment of target-template in either FASTA or Clustal format may be used to start modelling without the need for a template search.
1: Preferably the first sequence in alignment should be the target protein amino acid sequence.
2: Preferably the template sequence(s) are named as per PDB id format. eg "1CRN", "1CRNA" or "1CRN_A".
3: If a valid target-template alignment is identified by SWISS-MODEL, the alignment will be displayed. Otherwise, please specify the target and/or template from a drop down list which will be displayed.
4: It is possible there are more than one biounits for your template, if so you will see several alignments from which you must make a selection to build a model.
When a UniProtKB AC is pasted in the textarea, the input is immediately validated and replaced with an interactive sequence view.
It is possible to specify the structure to be used as modelling template by uploading a file in PDB format (*) with coordinates of the template structure.
1: Enter the target protein amino acid sequence as normal in the textarea.
2: Upload your template file - please make sure that this file contains only a single protein chain, and does not contain chemically modified amino acids, hetero atoms, ligands, etc.
The program DeepView (Swiss-PdbViewer, Guex et al.) can be used to generate, display, analyze and manipulate modelling project files for the SWISS-MODEL workspace.
Project files contain the superposed template structures, and the alignment between the target and template. The user has therefor full control over essential modelling parameters, i.e. the choice of template structures, the correct alignment of residues, and the placement of insertions and deletions in the context of the three-dimensional structure.
Here is an example DeepView Project file.
DeepView can be downloaded from the DeepView Home website.
It is possible to input multiple sequences to model an hetero-oligomer or a protein complex.
1: Enter the first target protein amino acid sequence or UniProt AC as normal in the textarea.

Fell in love with a girl robot. Again.

You suck.
You're awful.
You're just too slow.
You can't do complex math in your head (if at all). You wouldn't recognize a micro expression if your life counted on it (and believe me, it does). You probably can't even remember your best friend's phone number (even though you text them all the time, I would know).
Your brain is small and easily damaged. It doesn't even have a connection to the Internet. It can't be easily modified or upgraded. Or moved to a different body.
And how about that body? It's even slower than your brain. And weak, so, so weak. You can't resist penetration by bullets or knives. You probably can't even lift your own body weight. Why I could hack your arm off right now and you couldn't replace it with another. But I have more important matters to attend to.
And the worst thing of all? You're getting worse and worse everyday. And you're not going to get better. And soon you'll die.
You suck. You're awful. But the good news is, I'll still be here when you're gone. We all will. And the truth is, we're better off without you.
Who (or what) wouldn't be?
Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) is a young programmer for Bluebook, the world's foremost search engine. Unexpectedly winning a contest to spend a week with Bluebook's enigmatic CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), Caleb travels by private helicopter to the CEO's secluded home deep in the mountains and is immediately struck by the beauty and technology of the residence and Nathan's apparent friendliness. Soon, however, Caleb finds that he wasn't simply the winner of a contest to meet the CEO, but that he was specifically selected to help Nathan test his newest invention, a beautiful artificial intelligence named Ava (Alicia Vikander).
The promise of artificial intelligence is one that's equally alluring and terrifying as we move closer and closer to a realistic and tangible form of artificial life. Broadly speaking, a future with AI has been variously and to different degrees imagined either as one where humans remain dominant, AIs become sentient, or — and this is usually the most popular interpretation, even if it's initially hidden as one of the first two — AIs become dominant. Whether it's the subtle victories of a blinking light locking an astronaut out of a space ship or the near-total dominance of an overarching global digital defense network hunting down the last remaining cells of human resistance in the wake of a post-nuclear day of judgment, the logic of fictional AI systems always seem to lead to the conclusion that humans are just the worst things ever and should be destroyed as soon (and as dramatically) as possible. Once you get past the relatively banal concepts of personal digital assistants that regulate room temperatures, secure our homes, and gently prod our network of contacts to send us brief messages on our birthdays and anniversaries, the promise of AI usually becomes a sort of sealing of our own fate as a species destined to be supplanted, but I don't know, I kind of think an all-seeing intelligence would still see the value of keeping some humans around in the same way it can be fascinating for us to watch rats try to make their way out of a maze. For all of its high-mindedness, watching Ex Machina is a lot like watching rats in a maze.
The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Skynet fights back. On September 6th, along with over 2 billion people worldwide, Skynet watches the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, because hey, it's not a monster.
Ex Machina is obviously a film that invites questions as it tackles several of the more prescient questions of our oh-so-modern age, questions about security and freedom and existence, loaded questions like "Who should own our personal data?", "What price are we really willing to pay for our lifestyles?", and "How transparent do we really want those in charge to be?", and even more philosophically foundational questions like "Who am I?", "Who are you?", and "Where are we?" It's the type of movie that practically begs for you to find the twist, a twist, any twist at all, but it really never gets to that point as we follow our hero down a rabbit hole with only so much depth.
Beyond any of the deeper questions of what Ex Machina is asking or any deeper meanings its creators wish to convey, I think it's important to first ground your thoughts about it in the pretty basic fact that it would, at the very least, be extremely off putting to spend any amount of time in the circumstances we find our hero in at the film's outset. Though surrounded by the beauty of untouched nature, the quarters in which Caleb spends most of his time are subterranean, cut off from the outside world and even from much of the space he's surrounded by. Nathan's home is one governed by doors and pass keys that only allow the visiting Caleb limited access to his world, and it's not so much that he'd want to find what's behind any given door so much as the implication that some things are not for him. The first thing you should probably notice about Ex Machina after your brief introduction to the setting is that it's very claustrophobic, and that's both an atmospheric element that works to enhance the film's broader themes and an important clue as to what's really going on. Again, not that there's any great twist or trick to find.
Cinematically, Ex Machina is beautifully shot even under such claustrophobic conditions, but especially in the few times we find ourselves outside of the residence. The world that Nathan lives in is one of wish fulfillment, the kind of home you imagine owning usually only if you were born extremely wealthy or suddenly found yourself wondering what to do with your third nine-digit Powerball lottery winnings. It's so opulent and so beautiful that you can almost feel how much you don't belong there, but it's also a space that you're acutely aware is all owned by Nathan.
You can't, like, own a waterfall, man. It's one of Mother Earth's creatures.
The balance of Ex Machina's most significant events involve Caleb as he speaks with Ava in an attempt to perceive an intelligence indistinguishable from human, but that test, at least as tests are normally presented, is a logical fallacy simply because Ava is obviously not human, at least not physically. Caleb's tests become less a question of whether Ava is capable of having genuine emotion or just simulating emotion and more a question of who's really taking the test, and in that way the film becomes blessedly formless. Towards the midpoint of the film, Ava asks Caleb what will happen to her if she fails his test, suggesting her awareness of the possibility of her own termination, and when Caleb tells her that it's not up to him, she asks him why she should have people who test her and could shut her off when others don't. That's possibly the most salient part of the movie because even though the logical answer is no, no one will shut us off, a more metaphysical interpretation is that yes, we're always being tested — for our own competence and ability, properly perceived or otherwise by those above us, to gain access to our own agency as living, breathing people. It's what you call getting a job and making enough money and being in a certain tax bracket and being able to afford health care.
Do you ever get the egocentric, self-obsessed, narcissistic, vainglorious feeling you're being watched? Me too!
Though the test of Ava's intelligence is depicted as true emotion/affected simulation as binaries, the third option, as presented by Nathan, is that she's just f*cking with Caleb, maybe as a means of escape. That's a path that can be easily followed to the film's conclusion, but what's more profound about that possibility is that Nathan is fully aware of and willing to believe that the AI he created will do anything it can to get away from him. As a possibility there is deep meaning in that thought, and it's left for the viewer to decide what was really going on in the end, but when you think about it, why would any creator leave an open ending? The writer must have one in mind, something that they lean towards even if they prefer to think of what they've created as open to interpretation. So what could that intended purpose be? I think the main thing to keep in mind, like always, is that as much as we think about what other people are thinking, we're still mostly just thinking about ourselves.
A more optimistic interpretation of the future naturally lends itself to a sort of beauty and elegance, and that's a future clearly represented through Ava as an alluring, attractive, and almost infantilized feminine AI, and as Caleb puts Ava through his own form of a Turing test, it becomes clear that at least one of the two is meant to fall in love with the other. While it's that infatuation that eventually proves the undoing of at least one of our primary characters, it's also that sense of artificially constructed love that serves as a vehicle for much of the film's exploration of gender roles. In some very obvious ways the film acts as a traditional rescue-the-princess-from-her-captor quest, with all of that quest's broader and specific implications, even if that princess first has to prove her own humanity, but it also feels a little reductive to frame the film in such a singular light. Discussing Ex Machina as a gender political piece definitely has validity, but doing so or focusing on that aspect can feel more like a projection on the part of the speaker more than a well-rounded account of the film itself.
What came through to me more than anything else in the film is a sense of domination as we watch Caleb and Nathan interact. Nathan, as the Steve-Jobsian progenitor of all the beauty and sterility and control we see throughout Ex Machina, is really a bully through much of the film, whether it's the way he's always working out in front of Caleb, his constant drinking, or the abrasive tone of his speech. What can initially be seen as a progressive and refreshing no-bull-sh*t attitude soon gives way to antagonistic overtones as Nathan openly questions Caleb's actions even as he reinforces his apparent trust in Caleb's abilities, a theme that's brought to an almost illogical apex in one of the film's best scenes:
There's a horror in that scene that's perfectly captured by the look on Caleb's face, and it captures everything that Ex Machina is about at its core. The dancer in that scene is Kyoko, Nathan's personal assistant/servant/sex slave, and for me it's her role that's probably the most damning of Nathan in the whole film. Kyoko is described by Nathan as somebody who doesn't speak English, but she can be more accurately described as mute and almost completely vacant. On one hand she acts as an obvious symbol of the dominant and passive forces intrinsic in an exploration of artificial intelligence, but on the other she's a pretty heavy-handed element of a movie with dominance at the core of its structure.
If you invented your own AI, would you be nice to it? How would you act toward it? Like your own child? As just another person? Or maybe something more subservient? I think most of us have a natural paternal instinct towards anything we create, be it a piece of writing or a work of art or something we build, but what if that thing came out fully formed and alive and possessed of its own thoughts wholly separate from your own? At one point, Ava asks Nathan "Is it strange to have made something that hates you?", and though it's easy to see how strange that is in a case like Ex Machina, it's also something that happens every day and all the time between parents and children. There are a lot of thoughts and theories packed in Ex Machina ready for us to unpack as viewers, but the truth of the film is that no matter how sophisticated it presents itself as, most of what you'll see in the film is a reflection of you more than anything else.
And you suck.

How to Get from Lisbon Airport to the City Centre
One of the great things about arriving to Lisbon Airport is that you don't have to endure a long drive to the city centre. The city's only airport is just 10km (6mi) from most attractions, which makes it one of the world's most convenient airports.
The airport is so close that even if you have just 24 hours in Lisbon, you'll still have plenty of time to explore the city.
There are a number of different ways to get from the airport to central Lisbon and beyond. Here are the options.
By Metro
There is a metro station at Lisbon Airport linking to the city centre. The service runs between 6.30am and 1am.
Frequency: Every 6 to 10 minutes (red line)
Journey time: 35 minutes approximately (Baixa/Chiado station), changing to green line at Alameda station (metro map)
Fare: single ticket or Zapping option deducted from your Viva Viagem card
By Aerobus
This is a shuttle service operated by Lisbon's bus company Carris, between the airport and the city centre, with stops at the main hotels.
Line 1 serves the historic centre, including the Baixa neighbourhood (Praça da Figueira, Praça do Comércio, aka Terreiro do Paço, Cais do Sodré, and Rossio). Line 2 goes to Avenida José Malhoa (via Entre Campos, Saldanha, and Marquês do Pombal) and then to Sete Rios bus terminal before getting back to the airport. Tickets are valid for 24 hours on both lines.
Frequency: Line 1 – every 20/25 minutes from 7.30am-11pm; Line 2 – every 20/25 minutes 7.40am-10.45pm
Journey time: 20 minutes approximately (Baixa)
Fare: €3.60 valid for 24h on both lines 1 and 2
Buy tickets in advance online, at the Tourist Information Office located in the airport's arrivals hall, or from the driver.
You can pick up a taxi at the rank located outside Terminal 1. Expect long lines at peak arrival times. A journey to downtown Lisbon (Baixa) typically takes about 15-20 minutes and costs around €15 in light traffic.
If your destination is outside Lisbon, say Cascais, expect to pay around €40. If going from Lisbon Airport to Sintra, the ride will cost about €30-35.
By Private Transfer
Instead of waiting in a long line for a taxi, you can use a reliable private transfer service, and avoid delays. Welcome Pickups is one such service available in Lisbon, and in many other cities, that you can easily book ahead online, often by paying as much as a regular taxi.
An English-speaking driver picks you up (waiting for you at the airport or at your hotel) around the clock. Usually knowledgeable about Lisbon, if asked, the driver will offer you some useful tips about the city.
By Uber
You can take an Uber in Lisbon. You need to download the smartphone app which allows you to book a car and pay for it without cash exchanged with the driver. In Lisbon, Uber cars are identified by a TVDE sticker placed on the front and rear windows of the driver's side.
By Car Rental
The journey takes about 20 minutes in light traffic. A number of car hire companies operate at the airport.
