Sonos Ray Budget Soundbar With Apple Music Voice Control Launched: Specs, Price
Sonos has introduced its Ray home theatre speaker for the masses. With its previous offerings, the company had always prioritised sound quality, material quality, and design. But after facing heat from its competitors, it produced the Sonos Ray, which will cater to those who are on a budget. The Sonos Ray packs in Class-D amplifiers, Bass Reflex System, tweeters, subwoofers, and touch-based controls, among other features.
Sonos Ray: Features, Specifications
The Sonos Ray soundbar measures 71mm in height, 559mm in width, and 95mm in depth. It is a relatively small home theatre speaker intended for small spaces. It can be controlled via the touch controls on top of the soundbar or alternatively, you can use the Sonos app.
The Sonos Ray sports Class-D amplifiers, two tweeters, and two subwoofers that promise a powerful sound output. The company says that since the tweeters and subwoofers are forward-facing, the sound doesn't bounce off the walls if you tuck it in a media stand. Its TruePlay algorithm utilises your smartphone's microphone to analyse your room's audio signature and adjusts the EQ settings accordingly. Bear in mind that this feature is only available for iOS devices and not Android devices.
Soundcore Infini Soundbar With 100W RMS, Multi-Modes Launched In India
The Sonos Ray uses Wi-Fi to stream audio from a range of popular services. It also allows multi-room playback with other Sonos speakers. Moreover, you can send songs to the device via AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect.
On the downside, you can't voice control it via Alexa or Google Assistant as it is devoid of microphones. The soundbar lacks an HDMI port but can connect to your television via the optical port. The Sonos Ray supports Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround but lacks Dolby Atmos support compared to other Sonos home theatre systems.
Sonos Ray: Price, Availability
The Sonos Ray is priced at $279 (approx. ₹21,600) in the US. It will go on sale on June 7, 2022 in all the regions where the brand has its presence. It comes in black and white colourways.

Q: send PrindDocument to another form i want send printDocument to second form to showing that in printPreviewControl which placed in second form.
form1 code
defined printDocument class with public access in form1
public System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument;

form2 code
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        Form1 form1 = new Form1;
        printPreviewControl.Document = form1.printDocument;
}

I am sure printDocument in form1 have document to print, but when form2 loaded nothing showed in printPreviewControl. what method of printDocument in form1 should be call before showing form2?

A: Your example should work fine but the PrintPreviewControl will only render what it is fed during the PrintPage event that is attached to the PrintDocument.
If you aren't doing anything during the PrintPage event then the print preview will be a blank document.
Chances are that if you put to PrintPreviewControl on Form1 then you will recieve the same behavior.

Husky - best dogs ever invented.


It was 1999, and earlier that year, a college buddy of mine had suggested renting a house.
Keep in mind, we were both maybe a year removed from flipping the tassels on our Ripon College mortarboards.
Getting out of an apartment — and away from what still felt like dorm-style living — seemed great!
We got it back ... the tree came pre-adorned with its at least one ornament of its own: something small with four legs.
Just this past week, I watched that house — the first true house I lived in, in Ripon — as it was torn down.
To say it was a bittersweet moment would be an understatement.
Sure, it had been nearly two decades since I lived there.
I never owned the house; I just rented it. And, yes, I only lived there 18 months.
To read the entire column, see the Jan. 31. 2019 edition of The Ripon Commonwealth Press.


There is no fixed date; the season chooses its own arrival. But when it comes, I know; I honor it. I do what needs to be done.
We wake, early, to a frozen world. There is talk of two big accidents on the expressway; Mark pulls his IPad toward him, and searches grimly: he learns there has been a tragic death in the slippery early hours.
"Be careful today," he says, and he searches for school closings. The high schools in the town where I teach, 45 miles away, are closed or delayed. But colleges rarely close.
By the time I leave, I assure him, the roads will have been tended. But I stick close by my computer, checking periodically, that little kid's hope banked but burning: could this be a snow day?
But at 11:30, James bundles himself into the car, and I pack up my book bag, and we head off. There is a slow, cold, steady rain. The burning bush at the end of the drive has lost all its scarlet leaves. Each spindly branch is encased in ice; each red berry gleams as if shellacked.
It is warm enough—34 degrees–that the sky spits rain, and just cold enough that the dark time's ice has not yet melted.
I drop Jim at the side door of the college; then he doesn't have so far to run in this relentless downpour. He bolts inside without his usual wave, and I head north to drive to the Coshocton campus.
The car warms up, and I turn on NPR, and I settle in to the ride. I'd sent my students an email: I'll be there, I said, but don't panic if I'm a little late: I am taking my time.
I discover, though, that the roads are fine. I clip along at the speed limit or thereabouts, and I arrive half an hour early. Several students are already in the classroom, and many have stories of ice-skimmed back roads and dicey drives. Josh started out to walk the almost five miles to class because his car had died; a neighbor picked him up at the crossroads, and he arrived two hours early.
"Dedication," I murmur, and he waves the thought away.
"No sense staying home," he says.
It's a good class. The students present group position papers, and then they ruminate and rank each presentation. They are kind; that is something I've noted about this group of students from the very start. Their comments are thoughtful, and the rankings are generous.
We talk about the steps to analyzing the group presentation and morph those into peer review steps, and I randomly assign pairs. But then we notice that the rain has turned to snow. Right now, the streets are still dry. I have them exchange email addresses and send them off to work on each other's drafts electronically, safely at home.
"My ride's not coming till 3:00," he says.
But on the first floor, in this inn converted to college classrooms, there is a den with comfortable leather chairs and a snapping gas fire in a broad hearth. Josh hefts his backpack and heads down there.
I sit in the quiet classroom and tally up the rankings for each group. The totals are within one point of each other, all within the low A/high B range. They have been generous, but they have made astute remarks and suggestions, too.
I have high hopes for the peer review process.
I pack up my supplies, bundle into my coat, and reassuringly text Mark, who wonders how the drive was. I head downstairs and out to my car. I wave to Josh, who is nodding by the fire.
On Thursday nights, Jim has a two-hour break between work and class. Mark picks him up at the college. Then they select a restaurant; there they can eat, they tell me, as men do. Sometimes, a little time left over, they pop in at the house to say hello.
But tonight, Jim is anxious to work on some homework before class, and Mark texts that he'll be joining some Bar Association peeps at Weasel Boy's.
The house is quiet,—quiet and clean. I am glad I ran the vacuum in the morning, de-cluttered messy surfaces, and flicked the duster over the ceilings. No little clutter clumps chastise me; I am greeted by warmth and order.
I light the fire, and the rain pours steadily down outside. The furnace burbles below me, chugging and huffing. I kick off my shoes, place them in front of the fire to dry off, and find my book. I turn on my reading lamp, slide into the chair, and grab the knitted blanket. I wrap my feet, mummy style, pull the satiny edge up to my chin, and open my book.
As the flames flicker and their glow warms my feet, I read Bella Figura. Kamin Mohammadi, in this chapter of her memoir, is staying in Florence in August, while those who live there head off in many directions to the sea. It is hot in Florence, she tells me, and her beautiful apartment has no air conditioning. She suffers a bout of sunstroke after a long afternoon walk and learns to go to the market in the earliest hours of the morning. She spends the rest of the August days inside, writing, and ventures out again as the evening cools, meeting other ex-pats at a café around the corner.
The fire snaps, and I imagine its warmth is like the Italian sun's; my book transports me. The clock ticks noisily; the rain pours down outside, but for this moment in time, I am warm and dry with an imaginative world open before me.
The reading season, I realize, has begun.
In the reading season, my mind seems, contrary to the weather, to thaw and open. I am captured, at the library, by strange new offerings. I take home novels that, in the rest of the year, I might consider too dark for recreational reading, and the stories move me and make me realize how lucky I am, how protected. I borrow memoirs by unlikely people—some celebrated, and some just damned interesting.
I take home a book of essays.
And, at home, I search my shelves, uncovering neglected books, books I purchased and brought home, and then thought, for whatever reason, No. Not now. I find the true story of a lady doctor in the 1800's, a lady doctor who lived and worked in my last hometown before this one. I'd bought that book at Kim's enthusiastic recommendation, and then Kim's illness and death made me too sad to read it. But now it feels like a connection rather than an aching reminder, and I put it on my TBR stack.
I find some Willa Cather, and some Dickens, who always seems to mesh with this season. I add them to the pile along with Ready Player One and The Last Painting of Sara DeVos, the book the art museum group is discussing this month.
There's a satisfying stack to one side of the ottoman, and I light the fire, and I take the top book, and I plunge.
In other seasons, waiting books would distract and dismay me; I would feel a pull away from the pages in front of me. To be polite to my current book, to give it all my attention, I would have to dismantle that stack of books to be read, and secrete them, discreetly, in waiting spots throughout the house. Then I could finally concentrate on the words that danced before me.
But, when the reading season begins, the books seem to coexist with bubbly good cheer. The book I am reading compels and uplifts me, and the joy I take in that bodes well for the joy to come in the reading pile. Sometimes I read two books at once… a biography and a novel, maybe, and always, some pings of shared knowledge will arise. The biographer describes the very place in France where the novel's current chapter takes place, and my understanding of both stories, the true and the imagined, bursts open.
Sometimes I crave a poem, and the emotion it evokes shimmers its way into the book I am reading, shimmers and matches and expands.
In the reading season, Jim comes upstairs and asks if he might connect his video game system to the big TV in the family room. Mark is ensconced in his own reading chair in the living room, and I am mind-traveling by the fireplace, and we both encourage James to help himself.
And he will play for an hour or so, his crows and muttered curses a counterpoint to the words we're absorbing. But Jim, too, succumbs to the season; sated, he'll shut down the game, and grab a graphic novel, and head to bed to read.
The reading season arrives and sets up camp and opens doors we didn't even know were there.
Friday morning, I determine to frontload my day. I organize my grading and then plan what needs to be done around the house. I throw in a load of laundry, sweep the kitchen floor, and heat a cup of vinegar in the microwave. When that has frothed and bubbled, I take a soft cloth and wipe the little oven's insides clean, and I shovel baking soda down the sink's drain in the little half bath.
I dump the hot vinegar down after it and I hear the satisfying hiss and simmer of serious cleaning taking place, deep in the pipe's bowels.
I vacuum the living room, make sure Jim is waking up, and get ready to meet some wonderful friends for lunch. The house settles around me, approvingly; its back scratched nicely, it can relax.
The boyos are going to Westerville for an appointment; they will, again, eat in a favorite restaurant; they might stop at Fresh Thyme and pick up lovely organic bargains. They'll come home around seven or so, toting bags and brimming with stories of the day's adventures.
And after lunch, I will lug packages to the post office, do a little necessary shopping, and come home, again, to a quiet house. Then I will grade three papers. That's my ticket to the reading chair, where I will spend the rest of the quiet time, lost in a book, the afternoon darkening around me, the fire snapping its ancient message of warmth and protection. I'll take some soup from the freezer, nuke it up for my supper with a crisp salad and a thin sliver of sharp cheese.
Alone in the house, I will read while I eat, and then quickly clean up my dishes, so I can slip back into the reading chair, and learn more about the fictional Sara De Vos.
The events and obligations of life are grouted together tightly by little strips of time. But the reading season comes, with cold and damp and inside comfort, and those little time-strips seem to expand. The work gets done, and the grades get posted, and we prepare and enjoy family meals. I go to meetings, and do my research, and I cut out the shapes for my book shelf quilt.
In the other seasons, all of that might fill a day, and I might find myself snugged up in bed, asleep before eyes travel down the first page.
But the reading seasons works its magic or its physics, and time's doors, like my mind's, open wider. There is always a comfortable space—in the late afternoon's gloaming, in the quiet dark of our Ohio at 8 PM—to push back and page up.
And for a time, the reading spaces are natural, accepted, taken for granted parts of the day. But time will surge forward, and some day, on a timetable not available to my notice, the season will change, and life will shift, and other priorities will weigh down the need and the time to read.
I know that will happen, but, as I welcome the sudden onset of rich book time, I don't care. The reading season is here; the books are hushed and waiting, and that, for now, is plenty for me and more.
Hmmm….I think I am overdue for a good fiction…especially now that I have it on good authority that it is reading season!
It is! No license needed!!! Run for the books!!!
I love how the peaceful serenity weaves its' way through the obligations of the day. What a lovely reward.
It IS a lovely reward!!! Thanks, Sandee!!!
The reading season, indeed. It is late Saturday night, as I write. I've spent most of this week–a vacation week–curled up on my couch, reading a big new book called *The Writer's Map*, in which various contributors trace the relations between maps and books from ancient times through the present day. It is a glorious work, filled with colorful maps that will make readers remember books they read in childhood, books they read fairly recently (like the *Harry Potter* books), and many, many books they might have heard of, but have yet to read. It is a book to get lost in, to read and then re-read, finding peace, happiness, and wonder therein.
I have also, just this evening, begun putting on my shelves a set of *Great Books of the Western World.* My father bought it years ago, just about the time I acquired the same set in mint condition. Necessity compelled me to sell my set when I was still in graduate school, but my father held on to his set and has bequeathed it to me. I am grateful for his gift not only because I recognize in it an expression of his love for me but also because I recognize the lasting value of these particular books, and the labor that went into the creation of this particular set. He also gave me a set of the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica; you know the one; it's the one with the articles signed by the preeminent experts in their fields, like Sigmund Freud on Psychoanalysis.
So, needless to say, I'm feeling quite bookish lately, but not in a best-sellerish kind of way–more like a middle-aged sailor who's being called back to the sea he's sailed on for much of his life. Trouble is, he knows the waters, knows how deep they are in some places, and fears that he may not live long enough to complete all the voyages he would like. There are so many places to go, and the hourglass in the wheelhouse measures out only so much time.
Still, it is November, and I treasure the days from now until March, when many of my evenings are free and I have the time to read in earnest. Robert Louis Stevenson, a lover of maps (think *Treasure Island*) and a kindred spirit to mine, would simply tell me to plunge ahead, take a stab at what I really want to read, and make what progress I can. For him, virtue lay not only in the accomplishment of a thing, but also in the attempt itself. I believe I will follow his lead in my reading and my writing and see how far I can get as the days turn colder and quieter.
I had to take a brief trip, John, and look up The Writer's Map, which I've put on the TBR list. Along the way, I noticed a book called The Writer's Compass, and I need to go back and see if that's a companion piece. I remember discovering the Lord of Rings early in my college days and poring over the maps Tolkien created, wondering at his ability to create a complete and sensible world. Later, I would almost skip the maps books shared in my rush to get to the words, and now I don't have all those inner geographies, like I do with the starting point in the Shire… I think this is a book the family library needs.
It has crossed my mind many times lately that there is a finite chunk of reading time left, and I like Stevenson's advice. I was at a presentation yesterday where a speaker talked about PG Wodehouse, and I was lamenting that I'd never discovered his work. She said, "You know, you can't read everything, and you have to listen to what calls you." And Stevenson is saying the same. This reading season, I'm trying to listen to what calls me, to read for enrichment and challenge and not for obligation.
*The Writer's Compass* is a book about "how-to" map out your book-in-progress. *The Writer's Map" celebrates all those books and writers which have been inspired by maps.
Yes, listen to what calls us, and worry less about the rest. That's good advice for older readers, although Stevenson himself died young. "Enrichment and challenge, and not for obligation"–an *excellent* way of putting it. Thank you!
I'm from Coshocton and read your post as Sean shared it. I live in Syracuse area now. My grandmother lived in Roscoe when she left home in the early 1900's so she could go to high school there. She lived in Dr. Johnson's House. She then attended normal school in West Lafayette and taught in a one room school in Coshocton County.
I also lived in Westerville. Thank you for evoking many warm memories.
Jane, The class I'm teaching at Central Ohio Technical College at Roscoe is 9/10 high schol students from Riverview, Coshocton High, and…Riverside? They are some of the nicest, most hard-working young people I've ever worked with!
When we first moved to Mount Vernon, I worked at Roscoe Village as an interpreter while I tried to find a place to teach. I often played the role of Mrs. Johnson, and cooked over the hearth in the basement. Small, small, world.
And we love Westerville. Our son, who is autistic, has a great doctor there, and we love the library and the bookstores and the bustle and pace of downtown.
It is a small world. I grew up during the Canal Days heyday and several in my family wore "authentic" garb while working in Roscoe.
The other highschool in the area is Ridgewood in West Lafayette.
I'll look forward to your other Roscoe story. My grandmother was Roscoe High class of 1915.
That is so cool, Jane!
~quite honestly have nothing profound to add after scanning all of these eloquent remarks concerning the art of reading, except, as I watch the snow gently falling in the 30° temps. outside, you all have the totally right ideas…read on!
Thank you Pam! One of my favorite times in reading in bed! As I am now! What is a book shelf quilt?

Sixty minerals and trace minerals (trace elements) may be needed in our diet every day to keep it nourished and healthy according to scientic research. Although making up only about 4 per cent of our body weight, minerals play such a vital role that a few grams a day can make all the difference between health and disease, life and death.
If missing from the diet, minerals must be supplemented because the body cannot make them – as it can of any of the complex carbohydrates and proteins it constructs from the elements in our food and drink. (These are the elements oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen whose combinations make up the other 96 per cent of the body weight).
Minerals, whether in our food in the form of ionic salts or as colloids, all derive from the earth's crust.
Seventeen minerals are best known in human nutrition – the seven macro minerals: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine (together weighing about 10 grams for an adult recommended daily intake); and 10 micro minerals, most often called trace elements; iron, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, iodine chromium, silicon, manganese and molybdenum. Microminerals are so named because there are needed in much smaller or 'trace' amounts and weighed in milligrams ( 1/1,000 gram) and micrograms (1/1,000,000 gram). The remaining 43 essential minerals are also needed by the body in trace amounts, measured in parts per million (ppm.
MACRO MINERALS
Sodium helps in the transport of amino acids, (the building blocks of protein) and of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It prevents the other minerals from clumping and acts with chlorine (chloride) to keep the lymphatic system working. We could not digest food without it, since sodium takes part in making hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
(K) is the major cation of the (intracellular) fluid inside our cells. Potassium regulates the transfer of nutrients to cells and takes parts in the synthesis of nutrients to cells and takes part in the synthesis of protein from amino acids in the blood and in carbohydrate metabolism. It helps to keep skin healthy and blood pressure stable.
(Ca) is present in the soft tissues, intracellular fluid and blood, but 99 per cent of this abundant macro mineral is deposited in the bones and teeth, where it acts in cooperation with phosphorus and magnesium to build and maintain them and to store mineral for use by the body.
(Mg) is mainly located with calcium and phosphorus in the bones, and in fact aids bone growth, but also concentrated inside soft-cell tissues where it activates enzymes responsible for cellular energy production and protein and nucleic acid synthesis. Urea production, vascular tone and cellular electrical stability also come under its influence.
(P) is the second most abundant mineral in the body. Being present in all cells, it is involved in almost all cells, it is involved in almost every chemical reaction in the body. About 600g is present in adult bones and teeth and 100g in the form of vital biochemical compounds such as DNA, RNA, ATP, ADP phospholipids, and sugar phosphates.
(Cl) present as chloride occurs with sodium or potassium primarily in the blood, concentrated in red blood cells, and in extracellular fluids. It helps regulate the acid-alkali balance and osmotic pressure, "lubricates" joints and tendons, distributes hormones, and stimulates toxic waste disposal by the liver and hydrochloric acid production by the stomach.

Turning Up The Heat And Cooling Down The Planet, Hot Hotels To Carbon Offset All Last Minute Hotel Bookings
Steve O'Hear	@sohear / 6 years
In a move that puts a little heat on HotelTonight and the raft of other last-minute-hotel-booking apps, as well as possibly helping to cool down the planet, Hot Hotels is to offset the carbon emissions associated with each hotel stay booked through its platform, free of charge to the user. Instead of passing on the cost directly, the Spanish startup is soaking up the expense of buying so-called 'carbon credits' out of the commission it already receives from the hotels whose empty rooms it helps sell.
Carbon offsetting is currently a hot topic in the travel industry as companies in the sector (and international travel in general) increasingly come under scrutiny because of their perceived high carbon footprint. A number of holiday booking sites/aggregators already offer to purchase carbon credits — money paid towards projects that help to reduce and therefore offset carbon usage, such as renewable energy — with most passing on the cost directly to the customer. This is most common with regards to air travel, which is considered to be the worst environmental offender, though some hotel chains are tentatively getting in on the action, too.
Hot's CEO and founder Conor O'Connor says that the idea to build carbon offsetting into the startup's proposition came from customers already using the app. "Several users contacted us inquiring if they could purchase offset carbon credits from us or if we could recommend a company they could do this with. So we began researching", he says.
That research turned up a few companies offering carbon credits to hotel guests, but these were largely targeted at businesses rather than consumers, says O'Connor. He then commissioned Allcot, a company specialising in carbon offsetting, to look into the possible options, and Hot's new offering was born.
Specifically, Hot has pledged to purchase 100 kg of CO2 offsets from Allcot per hotel night booked through the Hot Hotels application. The amount is based on studies that Hot says show that between 10kg and 102kg of Green House Emissions are emitted, per room, per night, during a hotel stay. The idea being that Allcot will "retire" the equivalent amount from the carbon market, effectively negating Hot customer emissions from the atmosphere. Or so the theory goes.
On soaking up the expense, O'Connor says that since the company is buying carbon credits in bulk, the cost is vastly reduced. "We charge an industry standard commission to hotels and are happy to absorb this cost to make the stays of our guests carbon neutral", he says.
The Hot Hotels mobile app is available for iOS, Android and Blackberry, and enables customers to book hotel rooms "last minute", with discounts of up to 50% per booking.

Her early love and appreciation for nature grew into a desire to protect natural areas and conserve resources. As a young adult, Hannah focused her energy on improving her own lifestyle to reflect her values, embracing the Zero Waste Movement. When Hannah became a mother, she was inspired to learn to grow and make the food her family eats and to teach her own children and others to live lightly and locally. In order to do this, Hannah knew she would need to reach a broader audience. After several inspiring conversations with Rachel, GreenLifeNH was born.
Rachel Gourvitz
Rachel Sandweiss Gourvitz was born and raised in NYC during the 1980s and 90s. She specifically remembers when the city stopped using residential incinerators and introduced recycling. A true city girl, Rachel used to be afraid of nature and walks in the woods. However once Rachel started regularly visiting the Berkshires in her 20s, and using transfer stations, she began thinking about man's effect on the environment. Rachel moved to NH with her family in 2013, and has since watched the temperatures hit 60+ and rain in January. She is therefore working to improve her personal habits by making one small change at a time (often inspired by Hannah!), in hopes of protecting our Earth.

Focus on Leadership | Astronaut Elevates University
Famed Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk is taking his role as chancellor at the University of Calgary to new heights focusing his efforts on supporting and encouraging well-rounded, broadminded, high-achieving, creative thinkers.
He particularly enjoys visiting science fairs and the grade schools that form what he refers to as "the feeder network" for the university.
"I emphasize to students that ideal jobs do not fall out of the sky into our laps," he says. "Rather, the secret to achieving life goals is a deep, broad education. My educational foundation, for example, was laid when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Calgary."
The primary role of the chancellor is to be an ambassador for the University of Calgary and to act as an advocate for post-secondary education, so Thirsk has made it a priority to nurture and support partnerships and relationships between the university and Calgary's various communities.
"I've visited business clubs, hospitals, alumni events and cultural expositions," says Thirsk. "I remind Calgary organizations that the currency of trade for 21st century Canada is skills training. Continual upgrading of employee skills is the best way to reposition a business for future opportunities." He also uses his position to draw attention to the fact that collaboration will advance individual careers, as well as the university and the city, far more effectively than any other means.
"My career as an astronaut has taught me that collaboration and teamwork are essential tools for success," he says.
"You will notice in my blog that I highlight stories about the collaborative teams that are at the heart of our young, dynamic university."
Thirsk is also passionate about the role of the Chancellor's Club in propelling the university and some of its star students on to impressive careers. The club provides a forum for Calgarians to learn about priority programs and important initiatives at the university. It hosts three Chancellor's Club events per year. The gala evenings have been held in spectacular settings such as the Energy Environment Experiential Learning (EEEL) building on campus and the atrium of The Bow tower.
"Each Chancellor's Club event showcases a specific niche area of strength at our university," says Thirsk. "For example, at one event last year we learned how the University of Calgary is addressing the increasing burden of chronic disease in our aging society. At another event, we profiled university research that will transition our society to a future of low-carbon energy production. Another event focused on the development of team leaders."
The membership fees for the club provide financial support for many of the university's most prestigious scholarships, which support 40 exemplary undergraduate students along with one graduate student.
"The student beneficiaries of the Chancellor Club scholarships are known as Chancellor's Scholars," says Thirsk. "These scholars not only demonstrate academic excellence, but also community involvement. For instance, some of these students have helped raise money to fight poverty and homelessness. Others have built health clinics in third world villages and have performed medical research. These extraordinary students raise the quality of learning and our standard of excellence at the University of Calgary."
This program helps the university keep high-achieving students in Canada, he says, while the financial support gives the recipients the opportunity to focus on their educational path and take advantage of leadership and learning opportunities.
"I meet with them regularly and have introduced them to esteemed colleagues who are wonderful role models. My colleagues share personal stories with the students as well as career experiences and unique insights," says Thirsk. "These future leaders impress me with their enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and potential."
The University of Calgary is helping secure the future of the city by investing in stellar students with the foresight and potential to ensure Calgary is positioned to compete globally and sustainably.

Az Ég á líf (magyarul: Élek) egy dal, amely Izlandot képviselte a 2013-as Eurovíziós Dalfesztiválon Malmőben. A dalt az izlandi Eythor Ingi adta elő izlandi nyelven. 1997 után ez az első dal, amelyet a szigetország hivatalos nyelvén adtak elő.

A dal az izlandi nemzeti döntőben, a Söngvakeppnin 2013-ban nyerte el az indulás jogát, ahol a hétfős mezőnyből a zsűri és a közönség együtt választotta ki a győztest.

Az Eurovíziós Dalfesztiválon a dalt először a május 16-án rendezett második elődöntőben adta elő, a fellépési sorrendben nyolcadikként a bolgár Elitsa Todorova és Stoyan Yankulov Samo shampioni (Only Champions) című dala után, és a görög Koza Mostra és Agathon Iakovidis Alcohol Is Free című dala előtt. Az elődöntőben 72 ponttal a hatodik helyen végzett, így továbbjutott a döntőbe.

A május 18-án rendezett döntőben a fellépési sorrendben tizenkilencedikként adta elő, a dán Emmelie de Forest Only Teardrops című dala után és az azeri Farid Mammadov Hold Me című dala előtt. A szavazás során 47 pontot kapott, mely a tizenhetedik helyet érte a huszonhat fős mezőnyben.

UCLA guard David Singleton shoots against California guard Jordan Shepherd. | Jed Jacobsohn/AP
By Stephen Vilardo, SportsPac12
As the calendar turns to the second full week of January and the college football season firmly in the rear-view mirror eyes turn to the hardwood.
The Pac-12 had one of the final two remaining unbeaten teams in USC prior to the Trojans falling at Stanford on Tuesday.
The 13-0 start for USC was tied for the fourth-best start in program history (1909-10, 17-0; 1970-71, 16-0; 2016-17, 14-0; 2021-22 & 1939-40, 13-0). It was the best start of a season for a Pac-12 squad since the Trojans opened 14-0 in 2016-17.
Stanford's 75-69 win over USC was the 10th Pac-12 game decided by single digits this season, that is 10 of 22 conference games contested so far.
USC was upset by Stanford on Tuesday. | USC Athletics
The Trojans (5) are joined in the AP Top-25 with conference mates UCLA (3) and Arizona (6) making the Pac-12 the only conference in the country with three teams ranked in the top-10—let alone the top-6.
This is the fifth consecutive week all three teams have been ranked in the top-10. Three teams from the Pac-12 in the Top 10 for five weeks in a row is the third-longest such streak in conference history.
The conference had a pair of seven-week stretches with three in the top-10 in 1997-98 and 2016-17. In 2016-17 the Pac-12 had at least three teams in the top-25 all 19 weeks of the season, which is the only longer streak than the current nine-week run of at least three in the top-25.
UCLA has won the last five games they have played which stands as the longest active streak in the Pac-12—granted those five games stretch all the way back to Thanksgiving weekend due to cancellations.
In the win over Cal on Saturday though the Bruins got a steal on 15.8% of possessions a huge jump from the 8.6% rate UCLA has averaged on the year.
Arizona is another team that has been a victim of canceled games having played just once since their only loss of the year at Tennessee three days before Christmas.
The Wildcats lead the nation with a second-half scoring margin of +12.7 points per game. Even in their loss to the Volunteers the UA was +9 after halftime.
When Utah and Arizona meet a pair of the nation's top shot blockers will be on display.
Arizona's Christian Koloko | Christopher Hook/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
Christian Koloko is eighth in the nation with 5.6 blocked shots per 40 minutes played while Koloko (1.58) and Brendan Carlson (1.25) rank first and second in the Pac-12 in blocked shots per foul committed.
Glenn Taylor Jr. Leads the Pac-12 and is 12th in the nation with 0.933 FT attempts per FG attempt this season
Here's look at this week's scheduled games.
Washington schools host Northern California schools
The home team in the Washington-Cal matchup is 6-0 since the 2018-19 season began.
The last two times the teams have met in Seattle, the Huskies have won by an average of 22.0 points including a 35-point win in 2020, the largest winning margin ever for Washington over the Bears.
All-time the Bears hold an 87-83 series lead with 62 of the 170 all-time meetings being decided by five points or less.
Stanford has won seven of their last nine games against Washington, including their last two trips to Seattle. A year ago, the Cardinal swept the Huskies by an average of 17.0 points to run their win streak to four games in the series.
Washington's Cole Bajema | Red Box Pictures
UW has won 50 of the 73 games they have hosted in the series, but Stanford carries an 81-73 all-time edge. In their last four visits to Seattle, the Cardinal have averaged 72.0 points per game while going 3-1.
The last time out, Washington State broke a 13-game losing streak to Utah and collected just their second win ever over the Utes in Salt Lake City.
The last time Stanford visited Pullman the Cougars also snapped a losing streak. The Cougs' triple-overtime win over the Cardinal last February was their first over Stanford in nine tries.
Stanford has won 14 of the last 16 meetings overall.
The Cardinal's last nine wins in the series have been by an average of 19.5 points per game while the Cougars' two wins in the last 11 meetings have been 5.5 points per game—a one-point win in 2015 and a nine-point victory in the triple-overtime game the last time the teams met.
The Cougars have fared better with the Bears, taking five of the last eight meetings with Cal including a sweep a season ago. WSU is 3-1 over the last four meetings in Pullman.
Last season Washington State got a 31-point win at home over Cal. That 31-point win for WSU was the largest in the history of the WSU/Cal series dating back to 1917.
It was also Washington State's largest conference win since a 33-point win over Stanford in 1993.
The Mountain Schools head to the Desert
Arizona has won 11 in a row at home over Colorado dating to a three-overtime loss in December of 1965. The Wildcats have won all nine meetings over the Buffaloes as Pac-12 foes.
None of the last nine meetings in the McKale Center has been closer than an eight-point game with Arizona winning them by an average of 11.8 points per game.
The 2013 meeting in Tucson was an overtime game but the Cats still came away with a nine-point win. The home team has won the last nine games in the series (they have also met three times in the Pac-12 tournament during that time with Arizona all three of those in Las Vegas).
Both games last season were double-digit affairs with Colorado taking the most recent meeting in Boulder by 13 after Arizona won the first by 14 in Tucson.
Arizona's Bennedict Mathurin | Mike Christy/Arizona Athletics
Arizona and Utah will be meeting for the 67th time in a series the Utes lead 35-31. Since Utah joined the Conference, the series has been owned by Arizona as they have won 14 of the 17 meetings as Pac-12 opponents including all eight contested at the McKale Center.
The last time the Utes left Tucson with a victory was a one-point win in December of 1986 as Arizona has won the last 10 meetings at home. Last season the teams met once, a 73-58 Utah win in Salt Lake City.
Arizona State's game to start the week with Utah has been postponed due to health and safety protocols within the Sun Devil program. As of now, however, Saturday's game with Colorado is still set to tip as scheduled.
The Sun Devils will see Ike Diogu's No. 5 honored in the rafters at halftime against the Buffaloes.
Colorado has won the last four in the series and collected just their second win in 10 trips to Tempe last season. The four-game win streak in the series for CU has opened a 14-9 series lead for the Buffs which represents the longest win streak by either team in the series.
All-time, the home team has a 17-3 record with Colorado earning wins both times the teams met on a neutral floor.
Colorado has won eight of the last 11 times they have played. Last season the lone game was a 75-61 Colorado win in Boulder in which the Buffs outrebounded ASU 27-12 in the second half.
Oregon and Oregon State head to Southern California
UCLA has won 90 of 127 all-time meetings with Oregon but since the start of the 2013-14 season, the Ducks have an 8-7 edge in the 15 meetings.
UO has won the last two meetings, but UCLA has taken the last three that have been played inside of Pauley Pavilion.
Six of the last eight games between the two have been single-digit games with two of them needing overtime to decide and four of them being within a single possession.
UCLA is 15-1 the last 16 times they have hosted Oregon State. Last season, the Bruins took the regular-season meeting over the Beavers 57-52 while Oregon State returned the favor with an 83-79 overtime victory in the Pac-12 tournament.
UCLA's Jaime Jaquez Jr. | Kelley L. Cox/USA TODAY Sports
UCLA is 8-4 in the last 12 meetings with OSU.
USC has gone 9-4 in the last 13 games against Oregon State. The Trojans are 7-2 the last nine times they have hosted the Beaves. Last season the teams split the series with each winning on their home floor.
Last year the Trojans outrebounded Oregon State 83-58 in the two games including owning a 48-30 edge in the game played at the Galen Center.
USC swept a pair of games from Oregon last season, taking both by 14 points in a regular-season meeting at Galen and then in the Sweet 16.
USC outscored Oregon 84-48 in the first halves of the two games last season while shooting 61.8% from the floor in the opening 20 minutes of both games.
The Ducks have won 16 of the last 22 meetings between the squads including seven of their last nine in Los Angeles.

I was observing a student a couple of weeks ago in a delightful third grade classroom. This teacher was a master at delivering content and helping kids stay engaged with her lesson. She did this in subtle, loving ways, without embarrassing anyone or making anyone feel inadequate. She had templates of notes for some of the students, making it easier for them to follow along. She paired some of the kids, knowing their strengths and needs, and allowing them to help each other. Some of the students had received pre-teaching materials in their folders the week before. Each student participated actively, at his or her own level, and the objectives of the lesson were accomplished.
She probably hung that poster at the beginning of the year, in hopes of inspiring her students. I'm sure she has read it countless times. But get this: She was LIVING it.
She was encouraging kids to learn the first time, with gentle reminders and careful prompts, knowing that a stray reprimand or a thoughtless remark could ruin a child's day. Or the whole learning experience. She demonstrated an understanding that although planning her own teaching behavior takes extra time and effort, it very likely prevented issues with behavior, frustration and attention.
She was the kind of teacher who knew that the time it would take to "do it over," would mean more than re-teaching content; it would mean repairing a broken spirit.
She took the time to do it right.
I'm blown away by how some teachers and children's ministry leaders don't rely on planning as one of the most important keys of teaching. Planning is one of the most important facets of my own Bibles lesson plans, and I couldn't fathom approaching a Sunday school class without a good amount of planning behind me. And thanks for sharing that inspiring quote! I've already printed it out and hung it on my wall in my home office.

Q: Minimum Path Sum: is it possible to solve it using DP given negative value(s) in the grid? Question description taken from leetcode: https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-path-sum/
Given a m x n grid filled with non-negative numbers,
find a path from top left to bottom right, which minimizes the sum of all numbers along its path.

Note: You can only move either down or right at any point in time.

One Example:
Input: grid = [[1,3,1],
               [1,5,1],
               [4,2,1]]
Output: 7
Explanation: Because the path 1 → 3 → 1 → 1 → 1 minimizes the sum.

I tried to set some negative values in the grid, and it seems the transformation function still works.
dp[i][j] = min(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-1]) + grid[i][j]

Can anyone come up with a case to prove that DP won't work for this question if there is/are negative value(s) in the grid?

A: If surely it is mentioned that user can only move down or right then your code perfectly works for negative numbers as well
But if it is given that user can move in any direction and at last should reach the destination then
The above code works only for positive elements
consider the below example
grid = [ [1 , 10000,-700,10],
         [2 ,  4   ,9   ,6 ] ]

in this the min path  is 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 9 -> -700 -> 9 ->6


On Friday, March 23rd President Trump signed into law a $1.3 trillion appropriation that will fund the federal government through September 30, 2018, the end of the fiscal year. H.R. 1625 – The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 – was a 2,232-page bill incorporating all 12 appropriations bills. The new language was introduced on March 20th and passed the House on March 22nd by a vote of 256-167 and passed the Senate shortly after midnight on March 23rd by a vote of 65-32, averting a government shutdown.
This omnibus appropriation bill represented a reversal from recent years of decreased discretionary spending levels. The legislation sets defense spending levels at $700 billion and non-defense spending at $591 billion. The enactment last month of the of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 paved the way for the higher spending levels reflected in the omnibus. The bill increased defense spending by $80 billion dollars and an additional $71 billion in defense related Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). The omnibus also appropriates $63 billion above previous caps in domestic discretionary programs.

Ruthenium-96 of 96Ru is een stabiele isotoop van ruthenium, een overgangsmetaal. Het is een van de zeven stabiele isotopen van het element, naast ruthenium-98, ruthenium-99, ruthenium-100, ruthenium-101, ruthenium-102 en ruthenium-104. De abundantie op Aarde bedraagt 5,54%. De isotoop wordt ervan verdacht via een dubbel bètaverval te vervallen tot de stabiele isotoop molybdeen-96:

Ruthenium-96 bezit echter een halfwaardetijd van 67 biljard jaar en kan de facto als stabiel beschouwd worden. Dit vanwege het feit dat de halfwaardetijd miljarden malen groter is dan de leeftijd van het universum.

Ruthenium-96 ontstaat onder meer bij het radioactief verval van rodium-96.

When Jon Ronson, the author of the book version of The Men Who Stare At Goats appeared on The Daily Show a few months back, he amused me with his story: a (non-fiction) look at the US Military's attempts to harness psychic and new-agey techniques for combat purposes. He came in primarily to talk about the book, but it was in relation to the upcoming movie version; and at the very least, I was intrigued. But when the time came to see the movie, I was a little bit less enthused; after all, the movie is "inspired by" the book, not "based on". This concept has worried me every time that I've run across it - think I, Robot, which proves my point quite well, or Starship Troopers, which at least shows that it doesn't always end badly. Regardless, I went into the movie without reading the book, but open to the idea that there was something fun there.
Well... there were some good parts.
The movie turns out to be an absurd comedy, trying to show off the silliness of a bunch of military-types taking themselves seriously while find their chakras and (yes) kill goats with their minds. There is a story behind it, but it's hardly relevant to the situation and its associated comedy, and more often than not it gets left behind so the main characters can tell lengthy stories, detailing sections of the history of the project. Most of the laughter comes from this (maddeningly divided) history; and honestly, those stories were told better in front of Jon Stewart.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate this movie. I was just disappointed. Before the movie began, there was a commercial for Levi's Jeans. This isn't unusual. What is unusual is that a) the commercial involved a shot of Multnomah Falls, and b) I had been there about 45 minutes before the movie began. Sadly, this amused me more than the movie itself.

Q: Castle Windsor Visual Studio Code Snippet for ILogger In Visual Studio you can use code snippets e.g. when your are editing a class you can type ctor and the default constructor will automaticly be added to your class.
Is it possible to create a code snippet in Visual Studio, that does the following:

*

*Creates the get/set Logger property where the cursor is.

*Adds using Castle.Core.Logging

*Lets me choose where in the list of instance variables I can place private ILogger _logger = NullLogger.Instance;.

public class Person
{
    private string name;
    private int age;

    public Person()
    {
    }

    // cursor is here and you type "logger"
}

After you type logger visual Studio adds the following code:
using Castle.Core.Logging; // Added by code snippet

public class Person
{
    private string name;
    private ILogger _logger = NullLogger.Instance; // Added by code snippet
    private int age;

    public Person()
    {
    }

    // Added by code snippet
    public ILogger Logger
    {
        get { return _logger; }
        set { _logger = value; }
    }
}

A: There is two great tutorials here How to: Create a Basic Code Snippet & How to: Manage Code Snippets
The summary is as follows,

*

*Create a .snippet file; this is an XML file that includes the code you want to add, and references.  The basic example includes all of the requirements except shortcut.

*Import the code snippet into your visual studio instance.

*Use to your hearts content

Happy to throw together an example if you'd like.
As I've created the snippet to test this, you'll want something as follows.  Self evident what you need to edit to suit your needs.

The Main Library of UW (BUW) will be closed on 17 May. This is due to the fact that UW hosts world finals of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (go to http://www.icpc2012.pl if you want to know more about the event).
Please come to the office to pick up detailed payments for the next academic year. The payments have not changed, but it is obligatory that each student receives a detailed table in paper.


It's a pretty long photo essay, but then what did you expect after I covered over 3,000 Km heading up and down the Western Australian Coast!
I went north first, departing around 4.30am expecting the drive to Shark Bay to be around 12 hours. I wanted to be there by sunset. It turns out it was only about 9 hours and the direct overhead light proved to be much better for photographing the Stromatolites. They are the colonies of cynobacteria (or cyanobacteria) believed to be the first oxygen producers on Earth when they dominated the landscape for 2 billion years, starting around 3.5 billion years ago. They are the origin of the air we breathe today.
Having seen that, I poped up to Shell Beach as it was recommended to me, and was able to make it down 350 Km back south to get to the Kalbarri National Park for sunset and get my first good look at the Indian Ocean.
I continued south to the Pinnacles, an eery collection of limestone rocks protruding through the sandy surface.
I spent the weekend in Perth with my gracious host, Sharon, and made a leisurely departure Monday morning for Hyden to see Wave Rock, and continue down and around the south coast through Albany (The Gap, The Natural Bridge, The Blowholes), Walpole (The Valley of the Giants – Treetop Walk), Pemberton (Gloucester Tree Climb), and Agusta – home of the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, the SW most point of the Australian continent.
From Agusta it was an unfortunate dash back to Perth missing the coastal views on the way because I had to return the rental car, get Sharon to the Airport (going to Melbourne for the wedding a day before me – she's Carl's cousin), and actually have a look around Perth and Freemantle with Stefanie. Whew!

Q: Why this linq query doesn't return distinct code? I want list of all unique Scheme_Codes but I am unable to write query. I tried this one but I am confused what's problem with this query.
 var queryresult = db.MFData.GroupBy(x => new { Scheme_Name = x.Scheme_Name, Scheme_Code = x.Scheme_Code, FundFamily = x.FundFamily, Date = x.Date })
                   .Select(group => new
                   {
                       Scheme_name = group.Key.Scheme_Name,
                       Scheme_Code = group.Key.Scheme_Code,
                       FundFamily = group.Key.FundFamily,
                       Date = group.Max(x => x.Date),
                       count = group.Select( x =>  x.Scheme_Code).Distinct().Count()
                   }
                   ).OrderBy(x => x.Scheme_Code);

I have this query but I am not sure how to convert this to linq
SELECT [Scheme_Code],[FundFamily],[Scheme_Name],
 MAX([Date]) as LastDate
 FROM [MFD].[dbo].[MFDatas]
 GROUP BY [Scheme_Code],[Scheme_Name], [FundFamily]
 ORDER BY [Scheme_Code]

A: All you have to do is omit the date from your groupby-clause:
var queryresult = db.MFData.GroupBy(x => new
    {
        Scheme_Name = x.Scheme_Name,
        Scheme_Code = x.Scheme_Code,
        FundFamily = x.FundFamily
    }).Select(group => new
    {
        Scheme_name = group.Key.Scheme_Name,
        Scheme_Code = group.Key.Scheme_Code,
        FundFamily = group.Key.FundFamily,
        Date = group.Max(x => x.Date),
        count = group.Select(x => x.Scheme_Code).Distinct().Count()
    }).OrderBy(x => x.Scheme_Code);


You have heard the famous quote or statement that 'your income is the average of your five closest friends.' It could be within the range someplace, but nevertheless it is constrained, that's right, constrained by the performance of your five closest friends. This quote is credited to Jim Rohn as I've been told. How is this idea derived?
Your five closest friends and associates are friends because you have similar interests; go to similar places and live in similar surroundings. That is, they are within your comfort zone, (see episode 15). Additionally, you are comfortably within their comfort zones, which is the danger.
If you try to drift out of the comfort zones of your friends, they will discourage you. After all, most people never will leave their comfort zone.
There is a causal relationship between where a person lives and their friends, future lifestyle, business and income. In this episode we discuss how it affects everything from your education to where you live and what vacations you have. It is your future.
So, how do you make progress with all these limits on you? I discuss what I did and what you might consider yourself.
Thomas: Welcome to another episode of Life Unsettled – New Path, Better Future. Today I'm going to talk a little bit differently on a topic that most people feel that they know something about, and they probably do to some extent – the comfort zone. (see Episode 15) We have lots of opinions, ideas, and thoughts on it, but I want to try to think about it in a little bit more expansive and different way.
Of course, the comfort zone is where you go in where you're needing to learn new stuff or you're going to learn new stuff. That is you go outside the area you're comfortable with to get into something that is different.
It's not just about learning that makes you uncomfortable, but it's also social situations, whether in person or online, meeting new people in uncomfortable situations, networking, etc., you at first are going to have some level of discomfort, some level of uncertainty of the outcome. It's part of learning. We'll figure part of that out in a little bit. Also, in social situations, meeting new people, will you be accepted? Will you be embarrassed? All those situations are outside the comfort zone.
A little bit of a warning, in a sense, because thinking about this, we get back to the concept mentioned in the first episode on causality; cause and effect of being in a situation or on the edge or outside of your comfort zone, you are going to have certain other things take effect. That is: when you're uncomfortable, why is that? Your judgment is going to be a little off, you're going to be in a risky, stressful, uncertain situation.
Needless to say, we soon realized what those implications were. This guy is really bright, and even somebody like that, people that don't understand or talk about the comfort zone don't really have a good feeling of what it is and what it means to step outside and get outside of it.
Going outside the comfort zone, that is part of learning, is going to be subject to the stress on you going outside into something new, the uncertainty about the outcome, and the risks you're taking by going out there. The risks can be monetary or they could be just embarrassment. All this talk about getting outside the comfort zone, it's not as easy as we all make it sound, but we can learn to deal with it, and it's definitely worth doing.
Let me give you an example, in a sense, of how we adapt to getting outside the comfort zone. Something that I don't really do, but is common out there in the world is people playing games; computer games online with iPads or whatever, and you see people doing that all the time. When they played their first game initially, I would imagine they were very uncomfortable. They would lose a lot, not know where they're going, etc. But what happened? Why did they do that? Generally they did that, and usually because of social pressure, everybody else was playing the game. "Come on, come on, we got to go play. Hey, come on. You're going to play that, aren't you?" Whatever the thing is, even though it may have been uncomfortable, they went and did it anyway.
We can use this same adaptation for other things. It may not necessarily be that all social pressure will get over it for us, but it could. If social pressure did get over that, but here, we need to get that acceptability within ourselves, keeping in mind the stress, the uncertainty, the risk of learning new things. It would probably be best by starting out by just pushing the envelope a little bit. That is: we have to learn to find some little level of discomfort.
Slowly, as we find that discomfort more acceptable, we'll feel like being able to push and push a little bit more over time, eventually building up confidence which will replace some of the stress. Why? Because you do it a couple of times. Let's say you learn some things in mathematics, you learn something in languages, whatever your cup of tea was and is going to be in the near future, and you start building up your confidence that: "I know I can do this," even though you've never done it before because you've had a series of successes.
I'm going to take an aside story that becomes very important, but maybe the analogy helps out a little bit. A few days ago, I saw on TV something about some new program that they have in some schools, and they're teaching this way because otherwise, students feel uncomfortable. What are we doing? Should we be teaching them to feel more comfortable, or should we be acclimating them to progress and to learning new things?
Basically, over time, as we're repeating these things that become successful or more successful, the stress goes down, the confidence comes up, but then we find these new situations exciting challenges, rather than difficult situations. It can become, in social situations, that meeting new people becomes exciting, that networking can become exciting. Yes, we still may be a little apprehensive and not really like it when the person turns around and says: "Oh, thanks, but I'm busy right now." You find that that's okay because 7 out of 10 times, 6 out of 10 times, you meet somebody new.
How important is getting out of the comfort zone? I think we've seen that it's really crucial for progress. At the same time, it's not easy. It sounds easy, we all talk about it, but think about it. It's generally uncomfortable, but it also can be scary, it can be humiliating, it can be intimidating, and there's usually social risk attached to getting outside the comfort zone and meeting new people. What are going to be the impressions? But again, necessary for progress.
So, what do you do? Start in small steps or in less risky situations. Meeting people, networking where nobody knows you at a strange place. Push the envelope slowly at first. Over time, as confidence is built, you can see your positive outcomes and accept a little bit more disappointment because the overall weight of each tends to be positive and you see the progress.
Over time, you'll be able to get further and further outside your comfort zone. Keep the idea in the back of your mind, because as you're able to get further and further outside the comfort zone, the further and faster you can go in all respects—social, academic, business, etc.—the more success and the faster success you'll see.
I'd like to caution again that while everybody talks about the comfort zone, getting outside, and doing it, remember: very few people really do it or do it well. They feel very comfortable within their own environment, their own social situation, etc. That gives you a little hint that this episode is really a prerequisite for a few other episodes that are going to be on and released very soon.
Please play around with it, think about it. Choose your five closest friends. Send me your comments, write down something on the website. Let me know what you're thinking, both positive and negative. Examples, what have you done?
Thank you very much for listening. I appreciate it. Speak to you again soon.

Bug restoration is a tribute to a war hero gunned down during a senseless robbery
by Alyn Edwards | April 19, 2019
Walter Altenmueller with the 1966 Volkswagen he restored in honour of a U.S. war hero who was shot to death in a robbery attempt.Alyn Edwards
Abbotsford resident Walter Altenmueller made a pilgrimage of sorts last weekend, attending a classic Volkswagen car show in San Jose, California with his freshly restored 1966 VW 1300 beetle. The car is better than new.
The sentiment behind the restoration and trip down the coast is a compelling story. Walter grew up in Palo Alto where his father worked at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center as a nuclear physicist. Their neighbors were Latvian immigrants who had a daughter Kristine—who was best friends with Walter's sister—and a son with a new 1966 Volkswagen.
"A year after he got the car, he took us to visit Kristine's godparents in Santa Rosa and I was very impressed with the VW," Walter recalls.
Janis Rubenis, the VW owner who went by the name John, would get a business degree from the University of Southern California and left his Volkswagen at his family home when he joined the U.S. Air Force. He conducted numerous combat missions in Vietnam as a highly decorated F4 fighter pilot. He ejected from a burning fighter plane and earned medals for bravery including one of the highest flying awards. After service in Vietnam, he moved to Texas to train fighter pilots.
On October 28, 1977, Rubenis was found shot to death outside his Austin apartment wearing his uniform and carrying the keys to his Chevrolet Chevette that was parked nearby. Police believe robbery was the motive as a gunman confronted him as he left for work at 7:15 a.m. But the 36-year-old never-married fighter pilot was still carrying his wallet. Despite more than 40 years passing, the crime has never been solved.
His family kept the Volkswagen in memory of Janis Rubenis and used it occasionally before leaving it parked on the driveway for more than 10 years.
Walter Altenmueller had moved to Abbotsford with his family in 1968. He went to college in California and would often visit the Rubenis family and rode in the Volkswagen again. His sister kept up her friendship with Kristine Rubenis. The subject of the old VW came up while Kristine was attending Walter's nephew's wedding in the Vancouver area four years ago. Yes, she would sell her late-brother's car to Walter.
The $1,000 price was paid and Walter picked the car up in a trailer and brought it to Canada. It was in sad shape with a smashed right front fender, bent bumper and rust in the usual places. Local restorer Gary Loewen was contracted for the total rebuild.
"It was supposed to be done in eight months but it was a lot rougher than what I had thought and it took three-and-a-half years," Walter says.

The VW was in sad shape as it left Palo Alto, California for restoration in British Columbia.
The VW was partially submerged in the 1998 flood in Palo Alto.

The VW restoration took more than three years and was double the original estimate.
A beauty from every angle.
The VW odometer reads 54,437 miles but this is likely the second time around.
The new interior is exactly as it would have been when the 1966 VW was new.
The VW was completely disassembled, parts bagged and labeled to be renewed before reassembly. The entire platform was sandblasted and then powder coated. Walter helped take the car apart, completed some of the reassembly and installed the new wiring.
"The only thing that wasn't rebuilt was the transmission and that was a mistake. It leaks and will have to be rebuilt and that involves taking the engine back out," he says.
When the dust settled, the restoration cost double the $20,000 estimate. But the restoration is over-the-top in the original pearl white colour offset by a red interior – just the way the car was delivered new to Janis Rubenis on July 9, 1966.
"It's a sad story and the only way I would spend that kind of money is that the car is close to my heart," Walter says with emotion, before adding, "I did this for the Rubenis family.
On the road: A good home for a beloved Beetle
While in California to attend the VW show, he took Kristine Rubenis for a ride through their old neighborhood in Palo Alto.
"We visited the places we knew while growing up and saw the houses we lived in," he says.
He displayed the VW with a two-page story on the car's original owner and his tragic end.
"It is a tribute to John and his family. I think he would be pleased."

Alexander Korznikov. A bit of security.: Network Penetration Testing. Domain Admin Quick Win #1.
Network Penetration Testing. Domain Admin Quick Win #1.
Let's start with sequence of posts about network penetration testing.
In every Network PT, my goal is Domain Admin account.
Every time get ethernet wall jack inside some organization, and start testing it without any prior knowledge about internal network topology, IP addresses etc.
First of all, because of no knowledge if there is some implementation of NAC (Network Access Control), i perform a passive information gathering about the network, IP addresses etc.
Configure your network-manager, that it will not request IP address from DHCP Server, to be quiet as possible.
Even on small network, many many packets pass in.
REMEMBER, Do not query DHCP Server for an IP Address!
When I come back from a smoke break, i've already got a list of stations broadcasting and exposing itselves.
Now we have full network access including small list of active hosts.
As always, i will have a windows based network, with Active Directory services and lot of workstations.
Quick win: LLMNR & Netbios poisoning. Responder.
2. Domain User == Local Administrator on his/her workstation.
Responder will throw you large amount of NetNTLMv1/v2 hashes, that probably will be easy to crack.
/* Responder is very cool tool, that will answer to every LLMNR broadcast query, asking for downgrade to NETBIOS, and then request a hashed password.
Download and try it now :) it has many other features. Explore it in your free time.
Now we've got a workstation in this organization.
Next post will be another examples gaining domain admin account.
