Q: TextField multiline + wrap get text height I have a TextField with multiline and word wrap enabled, and a fixed width. I want to calculate the total height of the text inside it.
I tried using TextField.textHeight, but that gives me the height of one line. Because of the wrapping, I can't easily calculate the number of lines to multiply it with the line height. TextField.height just gives me the fixed, default height of the field, 100 pixels.
So how to do it?

A: There must be a mistake in your code, since textHeight should return your TextField height , not just one line height.

A: make sure you include wordWrap
this traces txt.textHeight = 135

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = new Bauhaus ().fontName;

var txt:TextField = new TextField();
txt.embedFonts = true;
txt.multiline = true;
txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
txt.wordWrap = true;
txt.width = 100;
txt.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi metus diam, condimentum sagittis rutrum vitae, vehicula et velit.";
addChild(txt);

trace("txt.textHeight "+txt.textHeight);

A: I found a solution from looking at Docs, and this tip.
Both of the following work perfectly for me with single-line, multi-line word-wrap (just text wrap, and \n), and multi-line no word wrap (just \n).
Short assumptive version (don't use this):
var totalLines = textField.bottomScrollV - textField.scrollV + textField.maxScrollV;
var metrics    = textField.getLineMetrics(0);
var gutter     = 2;
var actualHeight = (metrics.ascent + metrics.descent) * totalLines + (totalLines - 1) * metrics.leading + 2 * gutter;

Longer better version where lines have differing metrics (use this):
var gutter  = 2;
var totalLines = textField.bottomScrollV - textField.scrollV + textField.maxScrollV;

var actualHeight = 0;
var prevLeading = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < totalLines; i += 1)
{
    var metrics = textField.getLineMetrics(i);
    actualHeight += metrics.ascent + metrics.descent + prevLeading;
    prevLeading = metrics.leading;
}
actualHeight += 2 * gutter;

For a single line test with an inline image where textField height gives me 32, textHeight gives me 39, the calculated height (actualHeight above) is 34. For a multi-line test where height is 97.20, textHeight is 23.79, actualHeight is 97.15. This actual height includes the gutter on both sides, but strips out the trailing leading if there is any.

Dave Filoni- Wiki, Age, Wife, Net Worth, Ethnicity, Career
David Filoni is a director, producer, screenwriter, and voice actor from the United States. He has worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Mandalorian, and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars theatrical feature and television series.
Dave Filoni
07 Jun 1974 in the United States
Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania
Height (in Feet-Inches)

Weight (in Kilograms)
Dave Filoni Biography
Dave Filoni grew raised in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a Pittsburgh suburb. In 1992, he graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School, and in 1996, he graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. According to composer Kevin Kiner (who did the majority of the music for The Clone Wars and Rebels), Filoni's father was an opera and classical music fan; as such, he inherited an appreciation for classical music and helped with the collaboration process, with Kiner crediting Filoni for suggesting the organ in Grand Admiral Thrawn's theme from Rebels. Filoni further said that his grandpa and uncle were also pilots, with the latter specializing in aircraft restoration. He recognized this as a big influence on the Star Wars Resistance idea.
Dave Filoni's Height, Weight
Dave Filoni is almost six feet tall and weighs hardly more than 80 pounds. He has lovely warm black eyes and Black locks. There is no information on his chest-waist-hip measurements, dress size, shoe size, biceps, and so on.
Prior to joining Lucasfilm Animation, Filoni directed episodes of the first season of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender for Nickelodeon.
Filoni, an enthusiastic Star Wars fan, dressed up as the Jedi Master for the beginning of Revenge of the Sith and was disappointed by the character's fate in the film.
Filoni departed Nickelodeon when George Lucas hired him to work on a Star Wars animated series. Filoni explained on The Star Wars Show that he first thought he was being pranked when he was offered the Star Wars position.
He is the director of the animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the supervising director of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
On Sunday, May 28, 2007, Filoni spoke at Celebration IV alongside producer Catherine Winder to explain the origins of the new television series and disclose how The Clone Wars is being constructed.
He declared at the moment that he will be writing for the Clone Wars monthly comic. Filoni plays the bounty hunter Embo in many episodes throughout several seasons. Filoni was recognized as an Honorary Member of the 501st Legion worldwide costuming group in February 2009 in honor of his contributions to the ongoing Star Wars narrative.
Dave Filoni's Net Worth In 2022
When it comes to Dave Filoni's net worth, Celebrity Net Worth thinks that he is worth about $4 million. However, Net Worth Post claims Filoni's net worth is substantially higher, at $18 million. So, anything between $4 and $8 million isn't awful.
Dave Filoni Wife, Marriage
Although Star Wars fans are well-versed in Dave's professional life, they are less familiar with the folks he lives with at home. E. Anne Covery, Dave's wife, is also involved in the Star Wars universe, and not simply via Dave. Anne's short tale "Bug" was included in the collection The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark. Her spouse worked on an episode of The Clone Wars that inspired the novel.

"We expect that it's mostly sinking—but until we actually go there, we don't know how much is down there and the impact it might be having."
granny, I would surmise, either the shark feeds closer to the surface than documented?
Or, more likely, fish & sea mammals kill themselves trying to digest plastics they mistakenly eat. Those dead sink to where the sharks scavenge the bodies. Resulting in the vultures of the sea, consuming the indigestible plastics clogging the corpses.

Doc's Opinion
hs-CRP
Blood measurements of hs-CRP are often performed to assess the risk of future heart disease. It has also been suggested that hs-CRP can be used to target therapy and tailor risk modification to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Therefore it is important to understand when and why these measurements should be done, and how they should be interpreted.
It has been known for ages that inflammation plays a major role in the development of heart disease. Although the idea initially emerged in the late 1800's, it was sidelined for decades in favor of the so-called cholesterol hypothesis.
However, recently the "inflammation hypothesis" has resurfaced and many scientists believe inflammation is a primary causative factor in many chronic diseases of today, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and degenerative brain disease.
A standard lipid profile is commonly used to assess the risk of heart disease. Blood levels of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) are traditionally used for risk assessment. LDL-C is often used as a therapeutic target as well and dietary recommendations and drug therapy often primarily aim at lowering LDL-C.
CRP and hsCRP
C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver. This protein was discovered in 1930 by William Tillett and Thomas Francis, investigators at the Rockefeller University. They found it could be isolated from the blood of patients with a particular type of pneumonia. Later it was discovered that elevated CRP-levels could be measured in blood in response to inflammation.
The difference between CRP and hs-CRP is contained in the "hs" abbreviation; "high sensitivity."
CRP is traditionally measured down to concentrations of 3-5 mg/L, whereas hs-CRP measures down to levels around 0.3 mg/L. This improved sensitivity allows hs-CRP to be used to detect low-grade inflammation.
The Predictive Value of hs-CRP
In 1943 Gunnar Lofstrom, a Swedish scientist described elevated blood levels of CRP in patients with heart attack (acute myocardial infarction).
Studies in the 1990's further confirmed the association between CRP and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and acute cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and stroke.
However, although CRP-levels were found to be raised in patients with these disorders, the question remained whether CRP levels among healthy individuals could predict future cardiovascular events.
With the publication of the Physician's Health Study (PHS) in 1997, there was a paradigm change in the use of hs-CRP as a marker of cardiovascular risk.
The study was a prospective evaluation of 22.000 initially healthy men. Baseline levels of hs-CRP were significantly higher among those who subsequently went on to have a heart attack or stroke compared to those who did not. The results indicated that the predictive value of hs-CRP was independent of other risk factors such as blood cholesterol and smoking. The results also suggested that hs-CRP was a better predictor of cardiovascular events than several other inflammatory biomarkers.
In the WHS (Women's Health Study), LDL-C was compared with hs-CRP in almost 28.000 healthy women who were followed for eight years. After correction for other risk factors, hs-CRP was found to be a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL-C. Women in the high hs-CRP and low LDL-C group were at greater absolute risk than the subgroup with low hs-CRP and high LDL-C levels. However, screening for both biological markers provided a better predictive value than either test alone.
What Is the Ideal Level of hs-CRP?
Large scale clinical trials have used a hs-CRP cut point of 2 mg/ml for defining an increased risk of CVD.
This would imply that those who have hs-CRP above 2 mg/ml are at increased risk.
However, a desirable value is probably less than 1 mg/ml. An hs-CRP level higher than 3 mg/ml is associated with increased risk in most studies.
Low risk: less than 1.0 mg/L
Average risk: 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L
High risk: above 3.0 mg/L
Above 10 mg/mL usually indicates acute inflammation
Can hs-CRP Be Used to Target Therapy?
It has been suggested that hs-CRP may be used to select patients who may benefit from treatment with statin drugs or to tailor the intensity of risk modification in general.
The JUPITER trial randomized 17.800 middle-aged to elderly individuals at intermediate or low-risk to treatment with rosuvastatin (a cholesterol lowering drug) or placebo. Patients selected for the study had to have hs-CRP > 2mg/l, and LDL-C < 130 mg/dl (3.37 mmol/l). Rosuvastatin significantly lowered both hs-CRP and LDL-C. There were significantly fewer cardiovascular events on rosuvastatin compared with placebo (44% relative risk reduction).
The results of the JUPITER trial may indicate that hs-CRP levels can be helpful for selecting individuals who may benefit from statin therapy.
The Limitations of Measuring hs-CRP
It is important to remember that both CRP and hs-CRP become elevated in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions such as infections, rheumatic arthritis, many other inflammatory diseases, and many cancers. These conditions cause release of interleukin-6 and other cytokines that trigger the synthesis of CRP by the liver.
Because there are many disparate conditions that can increase CRP and hs-CRP, an elevated CRP level does not indicate a specific disease.
Due to its poor sensitivity and low negative predictive value, measurements of hsCRP can not be used to rule out disease.
Most clinical guidelines have emphasized that data from experimental research, epidemiological studies, and large clinical trials do not provide conclusive evidence for the routine use of hsCRP measurements for risk prediction.
At this time, there is insufficient evidence to recommend widespread use of hs-CRP in clinical practice.

Holy cow!!! You guys are awesome. Never used DG Meyer before but needed immediate service. AC company I used for 30 years said I had to wait 2 days. DG Meyer's sent someone out within 4 hours. Service Tech Brian was awesome. Fixed the problem pronto for less than I would have paid for company I used for 30 years. DG Meyer is my new Go-To company for all my air conditioning and heating needs.
Just wanted to let you know that I had your tech Jesse out to my house to replace an a/c fan motor yesterday. He did a great job. He is very knowledgeable, and personable. I am very satisfied. Thanks for the quick response and good work. Keep up the good work Jesse, and D.G. Meyer.
I have to add my compliments to the fine Service Department of D.G. Meyer, Inc. When our AC went out early this week, I called the Service Department. Connie told me they were very busy, as I was aware (temps have been in the mid-nineties or more most of the last couple of weeks), and she would get some one out as soon as possible. We really had made our peace with spending an uncomfortable night without air conditioning, when Serviceman Tom called and said he was on his way. Thank you Tom, for working late, and for quickly addressing our unit's issue. We are truly appreciative.

U.S. Representative Matt Cartwright (D-Pa) takes the Food Stamp Challenge, living on $4.50 a day.
On Wednesday afternoon Rep.Matt Cartwright had a $.57 box of macaroni and cheese for dinner, with some iceberge lettuce topped with oil and vinegar and 2 slices of wheat bread. This was part of his 1 day protest designed to highight cuts in the proposed House Farm Bill. The plan is to eliminate $20 billion out of the $80 billion Food Stamp budget over the next decade.
Cartwright also ate 2 other small meals that kept his food intake under $4.50 for the day. That is the daily average for food under the SNAP Program per person. Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Ok) said that it is the most reform minded bill in decades. He said it would make needed SNAP cuts as well as eliminate $5 billion a year in subsidies paid to farmers, whether they grow crops or not. Why would a farm not growing crops get money from the Food Stamp Program?
The Republican led House proposal would kick 2 million families off of the SNAP Program. That would have long term affects on the health of the family, but most importantly the children. Thr fact that Republicans do not understand that austerity doesn't work is very perplexing. Europe was falling to pieces because of austerity measures. Cutting spending without increasing revenue doesn't work. But in Republican fantsy land it doesn't matter because they are making things harder on President Obama.
Republicans said they wanted dollar for dollar spending cuts and tax increases. They have gotten $4.00 in spending cuts for every $1.00 in tax increases. Lets also talk about $200 billion in corporate welfare in 2012 alone. That is 2 and 1/2 times the Food Stamp benefits and still about $40 billion more when you add in heat assistance. So corporations that don't need money get it, but people struggling because of corporations like this crashing the economy get hit with cuts. I guess it only makes sense when you look at their campaign donations. But campaign finance reform is a battle for another day.

John O'Donovan (gaèlic irlandès Seán Ó Donnabháin, 25 de juliol de 1806 - 10 de desembre de 1861), d'Atateemore, a la parròquia de Kilcolumb, comtat de Kilkenny, i educat a l'Acadèmia Hunt, Waterford, fou estudiós del gaèlic irlandès d'Irlanda.

Biografia
Era el quart fill d'Edmond O'Donovan i Eleanor Hoberlin de Rochestown. La seva carrera pot haver estat inspirada pel seu oncle Parick O'Donovan. Treballà per a l'antiquari James Hardiman investigant documents d'estat i fonts tradicionals a l'Oficina de Registres Públics. També va ensenyar gaèlic irlandès a Thomas Larcom durant un temps en 1828 i treballà per a Myles John O'Reilly, un col·leccionista de manuscrits irlandesos.

Després de la mort d'Edward O'Reilly l'agost de 1830, fou reclutat pel Departament Topogràfic de la primera Ordnance Survey of Ireland sota George Petrie l'octubre de 1830. A part d'un breu període en 1833, va treballar constantment per al Survey en investigacions de topònims fins a 1842, desenterrant i conservant molts manuscrits. Després d'aquella data, el treball d'O'Donovan amb el Survey es va reduir, encara que fou cridat de tant en tant per dur a terme la investigació toponímica en el dia a dia. Va investigar mapes i manuscrits en moltes biblioteques i arxius a Irlanda i Anglaterra, per tal d'establir l'exactitud del seu origen de molts dels 63.000 noms de townlands d'Irlanda com fos possible. Les seves cartes a Larcom es consideren com un registre important de l'antiga tradició d'Irlanda per aquests comtats que va documentar durant els seus anys d'estada a la major part d'Irlanda.

Pel 1845, O'Donovan va mantenir correspondència amb el jove acadèmic William Reeves, i es conserva molta de la seva correspondència del 1860.

O'Donovan esdevingué professor de llengües cèltiques a la Universitat Queen's de Belfast i fou cridat al col·legi d'advocats en 1847. Per recomanació de Grimm fou elegit membre de la Reial Acadèmia de Berlín en 1856.

Mai va gaudir de bona salut i va morir poc després de mitjanit el 10 de desembre de 1861 a la seva residència de 36 Upper Buckingham Street de Dublín. Fou enterrat el 13 de desembre de 1861 al cementiri de Glasnevin.

Es casà amb una cunyada d'Eugene O'Curry i fou pare de nou fills (dels quals tots menys un van morir sense descendència). A la seva mort la seva dona va rebre una petita pensió de l'Estat.

Genealogia personal
En una carta a Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa del 29 de maig de 1856 John O'Donovan va marcar el seu llinatge d'aquesta manera:
 De la branca del senyor de Clann-Cahill, descendia del primogènit de Donnell II O'Donovan, casat amb Joanna MacCarthy Reagh de Castle Donovan qui morí en 1638
 Edmond, casat amb Catherine de Burgo, mort el 1643.
 Conor, casat amb Rose Kavanagh.
 William, casat amb Mary Oberlin, puritana, mort en 1749.
 Edmond, casat amb Mary Archdeacon, mort en 1798.
 Edmond, casat amb Mary Oberlin, mort en 1817.
 John O'Donovan, L.L.D. casat amb Mary Ann Broughton, descendent de colons cromwellians.
 Edmond 1840 m. 1842, John 1842, Edmond 1844 més tard corresponsal de guerra mort a Sudan en 1882, William 1846, Richard 1846, Henry mort 1850, Henry 1852, Daniel 1856, Morgan Kavanaugh O'C 1859 m. 1860. Vegeu Edmund O'Donovan.

Una característica interessant de l'obra de John O'Donovan és que es va veure incapaç de resistir-se a fer valer les pretensions de la família O'Donovan a l'antiga glòria, en nombroses notes i apèndixs. Va personalitzar la història de la família en tal grau que fins i tot polemitzà (erròniament) el dret a la successió del corrent principal. Afortunadament per a la investigació d'Irlanda, aquest petit fracàs personal no afecta la qualitat general de la investigació pionera d'O'Donovan. Si bé no ha estat possible demostrar l'ascendència de l'erudit específicament dels Lords of Clancahill, i no d'una altra sept O'Donovan.

Llegat
 O'Donovan va fer una gran contribució a la literatura i història irlandesa. Ell i el marit de la seva cunyada, Eugene O'Curry, foren els més grans acadèmics irlandesos del seu temps. El treball d'O'Donovan en establir les antigues lleis genealogies i folklore irlandesos encara no han estat superats i encara són base d'investigacions actuals. (O'Curry i O'Donovan es casaren amb les germanes Anne i Mary Anne Broughton respectivament, filles de John Broughton de Killaderry vora Broadford, comtat de Clare.) En 1852, ell i O'Curry proposaren un Diccionari de la Llengua Irlandesa, del que se n'encarregà la Reial Acadèmia d'Irlanda, iniciat en 1913 i completat en 1976.

Rose - Less Smoke uses a special type of charcoal that removes unpleasant odors from the air, and then adds its own aroma in a subtle way. This incense is often used in Japanese restaurants to cleanse the air for the diners. It's also an excellent way to eliminate the pet odors in your house.


Natural stone statement pieces can add just the right touch to almost any setting, albeit they come with a price: they are expensive and heavy and can be awkward to maneuver. Dale Mitchell with hardscape design and installation firm Mitchell Landscapes of Greensboro, North Carolina knows this all too well. Dale and his crew are no strangers to the positive and negative aspects of natural stone, but when he was asked to incorporate GFRC, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, into an outdoor project he was entering foreign territory.
He turned to the local concrete experts at Turning Point Innovations, who recommended SureCrete Design Products Xtreme Series GFRC System. In only about 45 minutes, he received an introduction to GFRC, got a GFRC training manual, and was quickly on his way with the appropriate amount of products to finish the project.
The outdoor installation was an entertaining area that consisted of brick-based structures including: two benches, a side bar, and a fire pit. A large steel privacy screen completed the area and will eventually rust and blend with the brick. The Mitchell Landscape crew was to make custom concrete benches, countertops for the side bar, and concrete fire pit that would blend with the organic nature of the area.
They started with setting up the on-site staging area, which the customer reluctantly permitted to be set up in half of his garage, with disposable drop clothes. Work tables were topped with high quality melamine (Dale highly recommends this and each board was used twice) so the resulting concrete tops would have a smooth finish. With that, the crew was ready for their first experience with the Xtreme Series GFRC PreCast Mix. They added integral color packs to the mix and poured it into the form with the idea of giving the material a natural stone appearance. The tops were formed to have 2" profiles but, with the use of foam backing placed atop the poured concrete, the middle was kept at only 1" thick.
The moment of truth…would the little instruction Dale received on a material he had never worked with be enough to guide him to outstanding concrete tops? The Mitchell Landscape crew was a bit apprehensive, but after just the first pull they were thrilled with the results! In fact, all the pours turned out just as desired…if not better…and little material was left over. SureCrete's matte finish sealer XS-327 Hybrid Water Based Polyurethane was recommended. It is specifically designed for PreCast concrete is highly durable and protects against UV damage. After a week of work with GFRC, the clean-up was easy…they just gathered up the drop cloths and blew out the remaining dust from the garage. The customer was happy with his clean garage but ecstatic with his completed outdoor entertaining area.
Dale and his crew look forward to marrying SureCrete Design Products with natural stone features in future projects and are proud to be able to offer a cost effective alternative to natural stone that still has an organic appearance. For more information check out www.MitchellLandscpes.com.


I've always understood that processed sugar feeds on cancer cells, and can be a contributing factor to the growth of cancer. I've read that, I've heard it, I believe it. Sugar weakens the immune system, so eliminating sugar is one of the first things I often recommend to most or all of my patients. Since chiropractic care influences the immune system, I work to encourage all my patients to be as healthy as they can be.

The Reckoning: Idris Elba and Kwame Kwei-Armah address The Arts, Media and Black Lives Matter Live Q&A today 25 June
By altafrica10 June 25, 2020 June 25, 2020
Leave a Comment on The Reckoning: Idris Elba and Kwame Kwei-Armah address The Arts, Media and Black Lives Matter Live Q&A today 25 June
A great reckoning is taking place in the wake of the brutal killing of George Floyd and the protests that followed his death. Companies and organisations are looking afresh at how they can do a better job of combating institutional bias and racism. Employees are increasingly speaking out about their experiences and calling for change.
In this special event Intelligence Squared is bringing together two leading voices from the arts, Kwame Kwei-Armah, artistic director of the Young Vic, and Idris Elba, star of The Wire and Luther, to discuss what should happen and is likely to happen in the world of culture as we move forward. Given all the promises made and broken over the years, will things be different this time? Will there be deep structural change so that we see more Black and Brown people – not just on the stage or screen – but in positions of real power and decision-making? And once lessons have been learned, what do people actually need to do?
Join in and have your chance to put your questions to them live in the Q and A.

In my hometown there is a famous bridge called "Ghost Bridge." It has since been closed to traffic and a historical marker has been constructed.
When it was open, it frightened me to cross it (no, not because I thought ghosts were going to attack me). The danger came from the structure itself. It was an old, rickety, narrow bridge with wooden planks to drive on. I would ease my car onto the planks and pray until I safely reached the other side. Thoughts of the bridge collapsing into the water below were almost unavoidable.
This is an apt metaphor for life. We are constantly undergoing changes in our lives. Minor changes such as hairstyles, wardrobe changes, weight loss/gain are normal. On the other hand, major changes can alter our entire lives, like an earthquake.
With each major change of life comes apprehension akin to traveling on an uncertain bridge. We wonder if we will survive the journey. Change can even have health repercussions and stress that can endanger relationships.
Change may be from health challenges. This change can be terrifying. A lack of mobility or constant pain can alter our lives in shocking ways. What we once took for granted now seems impossible. Anger and hopelessness stand outside the door demanding entry. If we allow them in to take over our hearts and minds, we will seek to lay blame. Too often, God is the one blamed, leading us away from His arms.
Retirement is a change that creates a void in our lives. We are often known by our employment and to lose it is to lose part of our identity. We can turn to self pity or new opportunities. We can aspire to new days or we can drown in the old ones.
Losing a loved one is a cataclysmic life change that brings an unalterable reality. We must endure the grief process and not come out the other side blaming God.
When we retire or lose a loved one, our options change. Our time may appear as a vast wasteland until we decide the direction of our lives. Will that direction be toward God or secular pursuits?
Divorce destroys the very fabric of our lives as anger, fear, betrayal and uncertainty lead us into the blackness of doubt. What we held dear, now has turned ugly. We may see nowhere to turn. We must not forget God, Scripture and friends as we maneuver the difficult paths ahead.
Every time we have life changes we need to foresee opportunities to bring glory to God. Are our new directions in line with God's will? Will these changes be obstacles to our faith or vehicles for growth?
We must remember that we are not tied to this world. This is not all that we have (John 17:16). As members of the church we have a higher calling (Ephesians 4:1) to walk for God and to serve in His kingdom.
In Philippians 4:8-9, we find Paul directing us to good thoughts and practices as we become useful to the Lord's work. In John 15:1-8, we find Jesus instructing us that we are sustained by the Lord and must therefore bear fruit in His fields. In doing so, we bring glory to Him and blessings to ourselves. Blessings that will be more than we can imagine (Psalm 23:5; Malachi 3:9-10).
If we are not Christians, we embark on these life changes alone and defenseless against Satan and his tricks (1 Peter 5:8). We do not have the peace, guidance and comfort that we gain from God (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5; Philippians 4:7; Psalm 23). Seek Him from whom all blessings flow.

Solar Market Outlook in Macao
The energy consumption of Macao is tremendously high and this is expected to continue its upward trend given the increasing number of large buildings. The lack of proper policies in building energy efficiency is contributing to the ineffective implementation of measures to improve building energy efficiency.
While Macao is not among the leaders in Asia when it comes to solar power generation, the private sector has stepped up to provide an alternative source. In Macao, a company known as Melco, has collaborated with local SMEs in the development of the largest solar power plant in Macao. The project installed more than 18,000 solar PV panels spanning a total of nearly 30,000 square meters of rooftop space. This project is capable of producing up to 7.7 million kWh of energy on an annual basis (or equivalent to the energy consumption of 1,500 residents in a year).
Other private institutions have followed suit and constructed their own renewable energy systems, especially focusing on solar and wind sources. The government of Macao is also looking to amend its existing policies to provide incentives to those who are willing to invest in solar energy.
Solar Energy Equipment Supply Capacity in Macao
You can find plenty of Macanese suppliers and manufacturers of solar power equipment. It is also possible to find global and online suppliers of solar power equipment to meet your desired capacity.
Top 8 Major Seaports & Logistics in Macao
Macao relies heavily on its ports for its logistics and trade activities. When investing in solar power equipment, you can expect supplies to be transported via the main port in the island – the Port of Macao.
PV Cable used for below projects in Macao
Wholesale PV Wires & Cables
Solar wires and cables, which are also called solar panel cables and PV wires, refer to wires used to connect solar panels with the photovoltaic system.
Choosing the right wire for solar energy systems is critical for solar users for their smooth functioning and remaining intact. Getting these wires wrong and choose PV wires that are too small for a PV system, the battery bank may not charge fully and as a result, the appliances consumers use, may not work at their full capacity.
Types of Solar Wires and Cables
Single metal wire core
Multi-stranded conductor type wires
The types of electrical wires or solar panel wires are according to their conductor type. If a wire has a single metal wire core, it is a single-stranded conductor. If it has a multiple wire core, it is a multi-stranded conductor. So, there are basically two wire types.
Difference between a single-stranded conductor and a multi-stranded conductor
The difference between a single-stranded conductor and a multi-stranded conductor is that the use of a single-stranded conductor type wire is common in domestic wiring and works fine for a solar system.
Multi-stranded conductor-type wires perform better in the environments with continuous vibration, such as mobile applications in cars, planes, boats, and trains.
Also, if an area is prone to frequent and extremely high winds, it is ideal to consider multi-stranded conductor wires as they are more flexible and durable.
Sunlight Resistant PV Wire Ratings
Their Amps rate the efficiency of wires and cables for solar systems.
The higher the rating of the current (amps), the thicker the PV wire has to be. If a solar system produces 7 amps, a minimum of 7-amp wire is required. It will be even better to go for a little higher like 9 or 10-amp wire, just to make sure it can handle the current.
If solar users use wires rated at fewer amps than their solar systems produce, the voltage will drop, and the solar panel wire will most likely heat up and eventually may even catch fire causing damage to the solar energy system and to the home.
Solar wires and cables are like plumbing pipes. If too much water pressure (amps) flows through them, they will burst. Therefore, the system would need a bigger pipe (wire) that can handle the pressure (amps) produced by the solar system.
Features of High-quality Wires and Cables:
High-tensile strength
Low maintenance.
Sunlight Resistant

Q: Autoselect HTML hidden option value based on previous option I have 2 select tags which come with the same option, male and female. One of the select, "age" is hidden.
<select name="gender">
    <option value="1">Male</option>
    <option value="2">Female</option>
</select>

<select name="age" style="display:none;">
    <option value="12">Male</option>
    <option value="18">Female</option>
</select>

When user select "male" in "gender", I wish the "age" will automatically select "male" as well. I expect the same thing as "female". How to achieve this through javascript?

A: You can attach an event change to your select gender and set the value of age on every change.
Note that both elements should be loaded with a default selected value for case that the end user do not select nothing and also check that it is better to move inline styling style="display:none;" to a separated css file.
Code:

var gender = document.getElementsByName('gender')[0],
    age = document.getElementsByName('age')[0];

gender.addEventListener('change', function() {
  age.value = (gender.value == 1) ? 12 : 18;

  console.log('Gender:', gender.value);
  console.log('Age:', age.value);
});
<select name="gender">
  <option value="1">Male</option>
  <option value="2">Female</option>
</select>

<select name="age" style="display:none;">
  <option value="12">Male</option>
  <option value="18">Female</option>
</select>

A: Here's an option using jQuery.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#age").val("12");
  $("#gender").change(function() {
    var userselected = $(this).find(':selected').text();
    if (userselected == "Male") {
      $("#age").val("12");
    } else {
      $("#age").val("18");
    }
  });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="gender" id="gender">
  <option value="1">Male</option>
  <option value="2">Female</option>
</select>
<select name="age" style="display:inherit;" id="age">
  <option value="12">Male</option>
  <option value="18">Female</option>

It is the time of Guru Purnima – the full moon in the month of July. Every year it happens on a different date – not like the fixed dates celebrated by the United Nations. Some people think of guru as a teacher who gives us knowledge. That's why people have started calling Google as the guru. The teacher is not the right translation of the word guru. The guru is a mystical phenomenon, which has been experienced in the East mainly. The Western world finds it hard to understand this phenomenon and does not go beyond the level of a teacher. A teacher teaches you something and you pay for it – and there it ends. It is a mundane affair – very businesslike.
The guru is neither a teacher nor a preacher. He may be illiterate himself. He does not look for students to sell his knowledge. He seeks disciples with whom he can share his being and consciousness. He functions like a catalytic agent – his very presence transforms the disciples. So a guru is truly a mystical presence. He is a mystic and a master.
The guru is a rare phenomenon, not so easy to find. Of course, we come across thousands of teachers and preachers who claim to be gurus. Some of them publicise their personality on such a large scale and people start following them. They gather followers in millions and have powerful politicians sitting at their feet. They may be doing some social service too like opening schools, hospitals and orphanages. But all this has nothing to do with being a true guru.
A true guru does not console people to please them. He may even shock them because his purpose is to awaken them. He himself is an awakened one, which is the exact definition of a true guru. The people cannot go to him for worldly favours for a successful life. He will not oblige. He simply shows us the way to attain self-realisation, even if it means to fail in worldly matters. For a guru these are meaningless things. He himself has transcended all this and he wants us to transcend these mundane affairs too. He takes us towards the unknown and the unknowable.

What will your organization's customer interactions look like in five years' time? Deloitte believes that the vast majority of processes will have Robotic Process Automation (RPA) built in as standard. So, in the near future, a large portion of your customer processes will be completed automatically.
Sridhar Rajan, Principal, US Lead and Global Co-Lead for Robotic and Cognitive Automation in Financial Services at Deloitte, believes most customer-facing processes have three key components: i.e. gathering data; analyzing data; then acting on that data. What RPA does is automate those first two stages of data gathering and analysis.
Learn how RPA significantly speeds up that response in gathering and analyzing the customer data, and how it also augments your human workforce's ability to act on that data.

Grasping COVID-19's long neurological tail
As parts of the world emerge from lockdown, psychiatrists and neurologists warn that we need to know more about the long-lasting neurological and neuropsychiatric impacts of COVID-19
By Liz Lopez, University of Melbourne
Most of us know of COVID-19 as a respiratory illness, accompanied by what some call a 'parallel pandemic' of growing mental health problems.
But as more COVID-19 patients recover, neurological and neuropsychiatric impacts are proving more common than we anticipated. While the exact figure is not yet clear, it can be as high as 84 per cent.
The team noted the most severe damage has been due to blood clots in the brain and other organs, including the lungs. Picture: Shutterstock
And the virus is showing up in brain scans, cerebrospinal fluid, and even semen.
In reviewing reams of evidence from case reports and other sources, Professor Christos Pantelis and Dr Mahesh Jayaram, along with a team of other medical specialists and neuroscientists, published research in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, warning that much is still unknown about the neurological, neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental effects of contracting COVID-19.
"We've never seen anything like this before. It's a really complex virus," says Dr Jayaram.
Chemogenetics: A new way to understand brain function
"Scientific papers are being published at warp speed, showing significant impact on the brain. This may be due to direct infiltration of the virus into the nervous system, but also from the effects of severe inflammation and subsequent blood clots.
"We also do not know the extent to which nervous system infection contributes to COVID's high death rate."
COVID-19 AND THE BRAIN
Loss of smell and taste (known as anosmia and ageusia), experienced by almost two thirds of patients, was until recently seen as an annoying but benign viral quirk.
Research shows significant impact on the brain, potentially due to the virus' direct infiltration into the nervous system. Picture: Shutterstock
But now, it's seen as a harbinger of more serious impacts such as confusion, delirium and even psychosis.
This may be because the suspected pathway taken by the virus also allows it to infiltrate the brain directly via the olfactory nerve, and impact on areas that regulate emotions and memory.
The amygdala, hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex all mediate intense states of fear, anger and aggression, intensifying these responses or dampening them.
Mapping the terra incognita of our brains
The impact on the brain may also affect an infected person's response to low oxygen levels (hypoxia) with severe lung infection leading to a lack of concern about this life-threatening state.
This has been termed 'happy hypoxia', however, other explanations have been suggested, including blood clots in the small vessels of the lungs leading to patients being unaware of and unperturbed by their own plummeting oxygen levels.
In some instances, this has led to sudden deaths – even in younger people.
"There are reports of some younger patients presenting as perfectly fine the night before who died alone during the night," Professor Pantelis says.
The study authors are urging global collaboration to learn more about the central nervous system impacts. Picture: Getty Images
"Psychiatric symptoms like a loss of social inhibition, apparent unconcern, or confusion can easily be overlooked or mistaken for other, non-COVID, conditions. Recognising these complex symptoms early can be life-saving" he says.
But in gathering evidence about the direct effects of the virus on the brain, the team noticed other effects.
"Our team noted that the most severe damage has been due to blood clots (thrombosis) in the brain and other organs, including the lungs and heart – secondary to the so-called cytokine (inflammatory) storm", says Dr Jayaram.
Will COVID-19 change healthcare for stroke patients?
INTERGENERATIONAL EFFECTS?
Another concern is what happens to the offspring of women who are infected before and during pregnancy.
Previous research has demonstrated that viral infections play a role in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, epilepsy and schizophrenia that become apparent in the late teens and early adulthood.
The detection of SARS-Cov-2 virus or associated inflammation in the placenta, as well as evidence of virus in semen, suggests that researchers will need to keep an eye out for effects on subsequent development, particularly brain development.

Research on rodents has shown that 'cytokine storms' triggered by the mother's immune response to COVID-19 can lead to significant neurodevelopmental changes in the course of neural development.
So far, despite isolated reports of 'vertical transmission' from mother to foetus via the placenta, and during labour, COVID-19 positive women are delivering healthy babies.
"The first trimester is absolutely critical to neural development," Dr Jayaram says.
Training your brain in lockdown
"Thankfully, we're not seeing birth defects or a specific syndrome that we saw with Zika virus. Nor are we seeing hypoxia or delays in first breath taken by babies. But it's very early days.
"We need to establish a cohort of kids that are born during and after the COVID-19 pandemic to see what happens years and decades later, and those studies need to include children whose fathers, not just their mothers, were infected," says Professor Anthony Hannan, Head of the Epigenetics and Neural Plasticity Laboratory at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health and one of the study authors.
"Both paternal and maternal infection could potentially affect children. This, in turn, could have major public health implications for the next generation."
Another concern is what happens to the offspring of women who are infected before and during pregnancy. Picture: Getty Images
As the world starts winding back lockdowns, the two researchers warn that the jury is still out on reinfection.
Vagaries of testing aside, there are concerns that the virus might behave like herpes, another scourge of the central nervous system, lying low and flaring up at times of stress, never completely going away.
Antibodies may only confer short-term immunity, although there is some promise with emerging vaccine candidates – but we just don't know enough about this yet.
Delving into memory to understand schizophrenia
"Repeated infection or higher dose of virus may increase mortality of healthcare workers," says Dr Jayaram. To date, more than 3,500 Victorian healthcare workers have been infected by the virus.
The study authors are urging global collaboration to learn more about the central nervous system impacts, and their role in the high death rates from the disease.
"We are establishing a national registry to collate clinical information about unusual neurological presentations, and we aim to collaborate with other similar international consortia," says Dr Robb Wesselingh, a neurologist at Alfred Health and Monash University, who is another of the study authors.
"There is still much to learn about COVID-19. These frontline observations will be critical for early detection and management of the disease," says Professor Pantelis.
"Understanding the potential long-term neurological and neuropsychiatric impacts of COVID-19 – including possible intergenerational effects – will provide a clearer guide to managing viruses in the future."

Right here, a few of the coolest nature child names I've discovered, along with meanings and origins for the more unusual ones. Whenever you book your Philippines lodge package with WOW Philippines Travel Agency you might be participating one of the international locations most trusted and acknowledged journey and tour companies, having been featured on television travel applications, radio talk shows and in journey magazines.
It's the duty of the travel agency to make sure that they get legitimate authorizations from the card holder earlier than processing funds. Not only will you assist folks in trip planning, however you will also help businessmen and girls plan vital trips relative to their jobs which makes your job even that rather more important and wanted. In case you're having a tough time, why not plan your first business trip for yourself with the sole function of considering of an ideal journey firm title! We will want 6 objects: passport, photograph, application, copy of Driver's license, journey itinerary, and fee. These businesses specialize in monitoring down offers for enterprise vacationers to help corporations handle travel costs.
Planning excursions: Ask the travel agent to arrange desired shore excursions at the ship's ports of call that enrich other deliberate itinerary stops. Seamless transfers: Making the transfer from onshore lodging to a cruise ship can eat up virtually an entire day, but a travel agent takes care of the trouble by arranging journey to the port at the right time. Travel brochures ought to all the time be produced by a printer that specializes in the journey trade. Memberships associations give travelers access to the group's journey planning services for the cost of an annual membership fairly than charging per transaction. If you're going to be in the business of travel, then you definitely must be considering of some good travel company names.
Based by Steph Lee, a former host agency director, Host Agency Reviews is a useful resource for house primarily based travel agents throughout and after their host journey company search. Plan your journey for one or two days prior to, and after, these you'll spend at the destination.

Polyglot is a very simple string replacement i18n library I built for a personal project and thought was self contained enough to warrant it's own repo. It's very simple to use, and does what it does very quickly indeed.

However, it is *not* a full i18n solution, it does not do any kind of: date; currency; time or any other i18n functions you might expect. It does one thing and does it well. It may do those things in the future however.

####Config
Configuration of Polyglot is set in the `Polyglot.CONFIG` constant. By default, a statically defined dictionary is loaded at page on page load (as seen in the example).

However, if you would like to control the loading of the dictionary you can set `Polyglot.CONFIG.autoLoadDictionary` to `false`. You must then invoke `Polyglot.init()` to load the dictionary.

Some people would like to have even more control over which dictionary is loaded when, for instance loading `'dictionary_homepage.json'` on one page and `'dictionary_pricing.json'` on another. This can acheived by explicitly passing an absolute local path to the `Polyglot.init()` method. For instance `Polyglot.init('/i18n/dictionary_pricing.json')` will override whatever is set in `Polyglot.CONFIG.dictionaryUrl` for that page.

####Translating strings
Once a dictionary has been loaded, you get a translation using the following Polyglot public method: `Polyglot.translate('i18n_key', 'iso_language_code')`. Doing so will return a string (providing one exists) in the language specified.

The second language argument is optional, as if not specified the `window.navigator.language` value is used. More here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.navigator.language](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.navigator.language)

If a language is requested which does not exist in the dictionary the string corresponding to the key in the `Polygloy.CONFIG.defaultLang` is returned.

####Dictionary setup
Please see `/app/data/i18n.json` got a simple example.

###Examples
The `app/` directory contains several examples. This simple project is built using the [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io) toolchain, so getting the example up and running is a matter of installing Yeoman and the running the `yeoman server` command.

###Tests
Testing is done in Mocha and the specs are contained within the root `tests/` directory. Running them is as simple as running the `yeoman test` command.


Working on elevated surfaces while operating equipment is a significant cause of serious accidents. This course will examine the potential hazards, capabilities, limitations, safety features and operations characteristics of boom and bucket trucks. Course will be equipment specific.

Germany, UK approve human trials for coronavirus vaccine
Apr 22, 2020 covid19
Germany and the United Kingdom are forging ahead with plans for clinical trials using human volunteers in the race for a vaccine against COVID-19, according to reports.
The Paul Ehrlich Institute in Germany on Wednesday green-lighted the trials for a vaccine developed by local firm BioNTech and US pharma giant Pfizer, according to Agence France-Presse.
"The Paul-Ehrlich-Institute … has authorized the first clinical trial of a vaccine against COVID-19 in Germany," PEI, the federal Institute for vaccines, said in a statement.
Tests of the vaccine candidate — named BNT162 — also are planned in the US, once regulatory approval for testing on humans are secured in the country, according to Reuters.
The trials will include "200 healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 55 years" who will be vaccinated with variants of the RNA vaccine. A second phase could include volunteers from high-risk groups.
Neither PEI nor the developers specified when the trial will begin, though Biontech said in a statement that it would be "soon" and "ahead of our expectations."
The trial is only the fourth worldwide of a preventive agent targeting the coronavirus, which has so far killed more than 177,000 people and infected about 2.5 million, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
In the UK, meanwhile, scientists will soon start recruiting volunteers for clinical trials on a second vaccine that are set to start in June with Imperial College London, according to the Sun.
EPA/RONALD WITTEK
Health Secretary Matt Hancock pledged $22.5 million pounds sterling – almost $28 million – for the effort.
Project leader Dr. Robin Shattock acknowledged there was "absolutely no guarantee they will work," but that recent animal trials have been successful, according to the news outlet.
Healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 55 are being sought for the trials, which are expected to last six months.
Hancock also announced that scientists at Oxford University will begin testing a vaccine on humans on Thursday after the British government pledged the equivalent of almost $25 million.
Oxford hopes to boost the immune system using a common cold virus derived from chimps, while Imperial scientists are using a liquid to carry genetic material into the bloodstream, according to the Sun.
Oxford team leader Prof. Sarah Gilbert last week said that a vaccine could be available for use by the general public by autumn.
"Personally, I have a high degree of confidence. And, I think, it has a very strong chance of working," she said.
