Although I would definitely not suggest this eReader as a regular tablet, it does have Wi-Fi built it and you have a browser. It's not very fast when browsing, but I installed 5 books via the built in browser, so it's definitely usable. The pre-installed books are a little old, but it's cool that you can start reading out of the box. For the reading experience itself, this tablet works very well. It's small, you eyes don't get strained and it's very responsive if you press the buttons. You can find the eReader Max here.

Q: Access to submit buttons inside a php isset function i am trying to access an input type "submit" in an isset function.
The following code is executed when i'm pressing on the "delete" icon. It then displays the shown question if you really want to delete this entry. How can i access both buttons? Do nested isset functions work? Thanks for your help
if(isset($_GET['delete_id'])){

    echo 'Do you want to delete '.$_GET['delete_id']. '?
';

    echo '<input type="submit" name="delete_yes" value="Yes" style="margin: 10px; position: absolute; top: 60px; "></input>';
    echo '<input type="submit" name="delete_no" value="No" style="margin: 10px; position: absolute; top: 60px; left: 55px; "></input>';

}
if(isset($_GET['delete_yes'])){
    echo 'deleted';
}

A: You can wrap the buttons in a form passing the id as a hidden value:
if(isset($_GET['delete_id'])){

    echo 'Do you want to delete '.$_GET['delete_id']. '?
';

    echo '<form method="get">';
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="delete_id" value="'.$_GET['delete_id'].'" />';
    echo '<input type="submit" name="delete_yes" value="Yes" style="margin: 10px; position: absolute; top: 60px; "></input>';
    echo '<input type="submit" name="delete_no" value="No" style="margin: 10px; position: absolute; top: 60px; left: 55px; "></input>';
    echo '</form>';

}
if(isset($_GET['delete_yes'])){

    echo 'deleted '.$_GET['delete_id'];
}

Q: How can I get the name / details of an Action delegate invocation? I'm testing the performance of some similar method calls that I'm wrapping in some timing and logging statements.  I'm passing these methods in via an Action delegate parameter.
Is there any way to print details about the call?
For example:
var httpResult = TestService(() => serviceHttp.Search(criteria));
var tcpResult = TestService(() => serviceTcp.Search(criteria));
var localResult = TestService(() => servicelocal.Search(criteria));

...

private static double TestService(Action serviceOperation)
{
    const int iterations = 15;
    ...

    for (var i = 0; i < iterations; i++)
    {
        var watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();

        ...

        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} ElapsedMilliseconds={1}", ????, watch.ElapsedMilliseconds));
         // Ideally this would print something like "serviceTcp.DoStuff(...) ElapsedMilliseconds=313"
    }

    ...
}

A: Change your testing method declaration to
private static double TestService(Expression<Action> expression)

Call Compile method of expression object to get a method for testing:
var serviceOperation = expression.Compile();

Expression object can provide a lot of information about method call, you can start with something like this:
private static string GetMethodCallDescription(Expression<Action> expression)
{
    var mce = (MethodCallExpression)expression.Body;
    var method = mce.Method;
    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.Append(method.DeclaringType.Name);
    sb.Append(".");
    sb.Append(method.Name);
    sb.Append("(");
    bool firstarg = true;
    foreach(var arg in mce.Arguments)
    {
        if(!firstarg)
        {
            sb.Append(", ");
        }
        else
        {
            firstarg = false;
        }
        sb.Append(arg.ToString());
    }
    sb.Append(")");
    return sb.ToString();
}

A: You could do it without using expression trees; just change the signature of TestService to take the action and the parameter separately, and use the Delegate.Target and Delegate.Method properties to get the type and method:
var httpResult = TestService(serviceHttp.Search, criteria);
var tcpResult = TestService(serviceTcp.Search, criteria);
var localResult = TestService(servicelocal.Search, criteria);

...

private static double TestService<T>(Action<T> serviceOperation, T parameter)
{
    const int iterations = 15;
    ...

    for (var i = 0; i < iterations; i++)
    {
        var watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();

        ...

        string typeName = serviceOperation.Method.IsStatic
                          ? serviceOperation.Method.DeclaringType.Name
                          : serviceOperation.Target.GetType().Name;
        string methodName = serviceOperation.Method.Name;
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}.{1} ElapsedMilliseconds={2}", typeName, methodName, watch.ElapsedMilliseconds));
         // Ideally this would print something like "serviceTcp.DoStuff(...) ElapsedMilliseconds=313"
    }

    ...
}

Q: How to get http parameters using java? I'm having a solr query "http://localhost:8080/solr/select/?q=A".I need to read the parameter "q" in my java code.How can I get this?
Thanks,
Marshal

A: request.getParameter("q"); would do the trick.

A: If you have the query in URL form, you can use URL.getQuery(), and then would have to split the string at = and & to find the right element, like this:
public String getQueryPart(URL url, String key) {
    String query = url.getQuery();
    if(query == null)
       return null;
    String[] parts = query.split("[&=]");
    for(int i = 0; i < parts.length; i+=2) {
       if(parts[i].equals(key)) {
          return parts[i+1];
       }
    }
}

If you want to query multiple parameters, better store the split String once in a map and query this multiple times.
And of course, if you are using this in a servlet or similar server-side code called by this exactly URL, there are better ways to get the parameters in the servlet API (like Deepak wrote).

A: Depends on you context.
From where are you trying to get this param? How are you using Solr exactly?
BTW, /select is simply a part of a URL used to map requests to the main Solr servlet called (wait for it...) SolrServlet - org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrServlet (deprecated from v4, now solr.StandardRequestHandler is used), which is, due to the fact that it handles search requests, also sometimes referred to as Solr Server.

We've received more than a few alerts to the December 8 edition of the New York Times Sunday Review and the brief interview with Anna Holmes, the founder and editor of the online magazine/blog, Jezebel – known for, the NYT says, its smart and snarky feminist content. Holmes goes through some of her interests in the form of what she's following, listening [to], and wearing – and for reading she heaps plenty of praise on John's work:
The First Book To Terrify Me
Jenn's Bookshelf blog has a guest post from Belle Wong, owner of Ms.Bookish.com, that discusses - as the title of the post says - the first book to terrify me. Belle cites Bellairs' The House with a Clock in its Walls and remembers reading the Yearling paperback's tagline ("The thing was ticking away, marking off the minutes until doomsday") and the cover being the "scariest cover out of any book I'd ever read up until then."

Work will soon start to improve walking and cycling links from the Barbican to Laira Rail Bridge.
The route, which forms part of the South West Coast Path and National Cycle Network route 27, will benefit from improved road crossings, new and improved footways and off-road cycle paths, on-road cycle lanes, cycle parking, better signage and new lighting.
Benches will be provided on Breakwater Hill so that people can stop to enjoy the spectacular views and vegetation will be cut back.
The scheme will begin on January 8, and construction will start around Clovelly Road and Teats Hill Road, with temporary traffic lights in operation until mid-February, with the work expected to be complete by April.
Improvements to the off-road walking and cycling route on Finnigan Road will follow, lasting for around six weeks, during which time sections of the footway and cycleway will be closed.
The southern end of Faraday Road will need to be closed for one night – yellow signs will be put out in advance to let people know when this is due to take place.
The news comes after a plan to connect the Barbican to Laira Bridge was announced at the end of last year.
Councillor Patrick Nicholson, deputy leader and cabinet member for strategic transport, housing and planning, said: "These proposals were very well received during consultation and I look forward to seeing the improvements delivered in plenty of time for the summer.
Repairs to the Sutton Harbour footbridge are currently being scoped out but it is hoped these works will be completed in the summer.
The Barbican to Laira Rail Bridge improvements will be fully funded through the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership's Local Transport Board and Section 106 developer contributions.
Further enhancements are planned between Cattedown Road and Finnigan Road, with consultation expected to take place in summer 2018.

Non-profit research and development organization MITRE has challenged experts to come up with novel ideas for detecting rogue Internet of Things (IoT) devices on a network.
MITRE's goal is to find a solution that can help network administrators monitor IoT devices, including new devices and ones that have been replaced with a malicious version by an attacker.
Researchers who discover a non-traditional method for enumerating IoT devices through passive network monitoring, without the need to change current protocols and manufacturing, can earn $50,000.
As part of its Unique Identification of IoT Devices Challenge, MITRE has also promised recognition and promotion, the opportunity to connect with government agencies, and the chance to better understand the government's needs by working with MITRE experts.
The challenge is open to individuals, college teams and companies. The registration period has already started and the actual challenge will begin in early November. Participants will have roughly six weeks to demonstrate a simple and affordable solution for identifying rogue IoT devices via a unique identifier or fingerprint.
MITRE has created a model home network that will serve as a testbed. The network includes a wide range of devices to ensure that the detection techniques are also efficient for industrial, military, healthcare and other types of networks.
The organization pointed out that all intellectual property will remain in the possession of the inventor.
Vulnerable and misconfigured IoT devices are increasingly problematic, many of them being abused for cyberattacks, particularly distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
The security industry and governments are trying to find ways to address the problem. EurActiv reported last week that the European Commission is preparing new legislation aimed at securing IoT machines by forcing companies to meet tough security standards and by implementing a labeling system to show which products are secure.
Several major DDoS attacks have been launched over the past period, including a 600 Gbps attack against the website of journalist Brian Krebs and a 1 Tbps attack against hosting provider OVH.
The attacks leveraged hundreds of thousands of vulnerable IoT devices and experts warned that there are plenty of potential victims cybercriminals can choose from.


If you're an MSP for whom "cloud" has become a dirty word—raise your hand. Following your metamorphosis from channel companies into MSPs you might have wanted to resist the rush toward cloud services, and the reselling efforts that cloud adoption would entail. But in reality, that could be a dangerous path—especially if your customers perceive you to just be an outsourced IT service provider and not an evolved agent of change and improvement.
There's that word again. Evolved. In today's rapidly changing tech world, every business needs to be constantly changing, adapting, and evolving, and managed service providers are no different. In fact, MSPs need to go a step further and embrace the fact their real value proposition isn't just being a source of IT services; it's about being on the leading edge of technology, understanding how that's changing business and business operations today, and helping their customers change, adapt, and evolve as well. And embracing the cloud and the myriad benefits cloud technology affords businesses will allow them to do just that.
With many MSPs already recognizing the advantages of adding cloud services to complement their current service offerings, there are inherent dangers for those who resist this change. While some may have concerns about stepping into new technologies that might be considered as low margin business, even as a defensive measure, adopting cloud makes sense.
In fact according to CEO of MSP Alliance, Charles Weaver it may not be as difficult for many MSPs as they imagine. Consider what he says about the cloud challenge for MSPs, most of whom as he points out are well used to managing IT assets that are outside of their own facilities.
So what types of MSPs are getting involved with cloud technologies? Over at CloudTech Rhonda Sherwood suggests that three common profiles are emerging.
The Conventional. The Conventional type are the MSPs that trust another provider for their cloud needs, usually a big player like Amazon or Google. This method of offering a well-known name is something of a lower risk strategy, but makes it harder to differentiate from all the other providers offering exactly the same packages to customers.
The Risk Taker. The Risk Takers like to have more control and complete ownership of the cloud infrastructure, updates, and maintenance. More control comes with higher costs though, so being a risk taker won't be for everyone. Initial investments will be higher, ROI slower, and competition more fierce.
The Trailblazer. The Trailblazing MSP looks to find the best of both worlds. By using a white-label provider, they look to be able to offer high-level infrastructure without the high level investment that deploying their own cloud service would involve. This method offers scalability, together with the flexibility to cater to the customer's specific requirements.
Reselling third party services may not offer the highest margins, but non-core services can help cement relationships with clients who are looking for inexpensive alternatives.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), while again not of high value in itself, can make good sense as part of an overall MSP strategy, and can be a gateway to higher value solutions.
Weaver describes back up as the "bread and butter" offering for most MSPs. Effective cloud back-up solutions can be offered either from the MSP's own storage capacity or by reselling from another cloud provider.
MSPs can provide third party cloud solutions in areas, such as user management, migration, back up, and compliance monitoring to add value to their core business.
The SMB and mid-market space can provide lucrative opportunities for an MSP to build, deploy, and manage private cloud solutions. This can be via third parties to avoid investment in high cost infrastructure or, for the more committed, as a self-built platform.
For an MSP, cloud computing shouldn't be considered as a potential threat to their core business model. In reality, the advance of cloud technology has done much to promote the value of those who already offer managed services. Smart MSPs will build on that, and accept the challenge of integrating cloud into their own business strategy. There are many options available to allow MSPs to slowly incorporate cloud services into their offerings, without jumping in at the deep end as full on cloud providers. Those who get it right are more likely to be able to build relationships, attract and retain clients, and continue to evolve organically as cloud technology continues to develop.
If you're involved in the provision of managed services, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Do you think cloud technology is a threat to MSPs or a vital component in the evolution of the industry? What has your experience been when it comes to the integration of cloud into managed services? Have you added it to your offerings?

Minnesota clergy, ICE critics want bishop name off building
Oct 29, 2019 @ 1:03pm
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Clergy and immigration activists in Minnesota are trying to remove the name of a revered bishop from a federal building where hundreds of deportation orders are issued every year.
They're calling the Trump administration's immigration crackdown an affront to his memory.
The Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building houses the Minneapolis offices of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security. It's named for the first Episcopal bishop of Minnesota, who persuaded President Abraham Lincoln to pardon most of the 303 Dakota Indians sentenced to death after the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
Now the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, the Minnesota Council of Churches and others want Whipple's name taken off the building — or the eviction of ICE and Homeland Security.
They'll hold a vigil and news conference Tuesday to press their demands.

Microsoft's Xbox One entertainment console had its best year ever, it seems. The company even managed to best Sony's PS4 in sales for months. The Xbox One S release gets a lot of the credit for gaming platform's change in fortune for 2016, but it didn't do it alone. The 2016 Xbox One games line-up had to have helped in a big way. People buy video game consoles because they're excited about the games that'll be available. Microsoft is likely hoping that the 2017 Xbox One games line-up will have the same effect as last year's slate did.
The 2017 Xbox One games line up has some stars in it. Microsoft is continuing its focus on Xbox One exclusives that tell all new stories and mechanics different from what gamers are used to. Of the four games its studios and partners are working on, one is from a franchise just getting started. Crackdown 3 and Halo Wars 2 aren't new franchises, but new versions of exclusive games Xbox fans thought that they would never get.
At the same time, Microsoft's partners are heavily pushing 2017 Xbox One games of their own. Electronic Arts has not one, but two heavy hitters planned this year. Ubisoft is attempting to kick-start an all-new franchise. It's also betting that a refreshed take on an old franchise will have role-playing game fans singing its praises.
The 2017 Xbox One games line-up is exciting, all things considered. Here are the 10 most exciting and interesting games coming to your Microsoft-made living room console, that we know about.
2017 Xbox One Games: Sea of Thieves – 2017
The second of Microsoft's exclusives games, Sea of Thieves is a strange, strange title. Developer Rare has created a first-person role-playing game that takes place on the high seas. What we know right now is that players get to team up with their friends and create their own pirate ship crew in Sea of Thieves
Read: Sea of Thieves Release: Everything That We Know
We're not sure when it's coming in 2017, just that it's still set for release. It's very likely that Microsoft will have more on Sea of Thieves to share during this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.
2017 Xbox One Games: For Honor – February 14th
Ubisoft's first attempt at a hack-and-slash game, For Honor brings together the world's different warrior factions for epic battles. Players choose a faction, then decide what kind of warrior they want to be. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The recently revealed Shoguki deals an incredible amount of damage, but is slow to move in any direction, for example. There are medieval Knights, Samurai and Vikings.

Besides the online game, Ubisoft has fashioned a story that explains how each of these different factions from around the globe came to be locked in a war for survival. Some of the multiplayer characters are used in the game's campaign, giving players a great opportunity to experience the world in a way that they like.
For Honor arrives on store shelves February 14th.
2017 Xbox One Games: Halo Wars 2 – February 21st
Halo Wars comes full circle with the upcoming release of Halo Wars 2. The original was created by a now defunct studio. It remains one of the few real-time strategy games to ever translate well to a video game console. Usually, they're the domain of gaming PCs.
Halo Wars 2 is set to arrive this February on both Xbox One and PCs running Windows 10. Creative Assembly developed the game. Besides Domination, Deathmatch and Stronghold modes, the two have created a Blitz Mode that uses card power-ups.

343 Industries focused on the title's story and larger place within the Halo universe. It's been years since the Spirit of Fire began drifting in space. Suddenly, the ship finds itself near a Forerunner installation under the control by a whole new threat that owes its existence to the Covenant forces that nearly destroyed Earth and her colonies.
2017 Xbox One Games: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands – March 7th
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands takes players to the largest open-world space ever created by Ubisoft. Set in Bolivia, players create their own government agent to infiltrate the world of one of the biggest drug cartels ever.

Co-operative play and infiltration are a big part of Ghost Recon Wildlands. The game has more weather spaces and climates, plus a range of vehicles and weapons. The game arrives on store shelves March 7th.
2017 Xbox One Games: Mass Effect Andromeda – March 21st & March 23rd
Exploration of a new galaxy, that's what Mass Effect Andromeda promises fans. The Pathfinder Program has successfully sent an entire colony's worth of humans into the Andromeda galaxy to make a new home. It's the Pathfinder's job to sort of clear the way for this new colony by investigating new worlds and learning about all the new surroundings they'll have to acclimate to.
Read: Mass Effect Andromeda Release Details: What We Know
Developer Bioware promises better visuals, an interesting crew and refined role-playing mechanics. A new all-terrain vehicle allows the crew of the Tempest to go from place to place on every planet worth exploring easily. The Tempest itself allows the Pathfinder to travel from planet to planet. In addition to the single player experience, developer Bioware has some multiplayer experiences on the way too.
Mass Effect Andromeda will be the first game in the series to launch since Mass Effect 3.
2017 Xbox One Games: Crackdown 3 – 2017
One of two 2017 Xbox exclusives coming, Crackdown 3 hasn't been seen a lot since it was first announced at E3 2014. We do know that the basic premise behind the game hasn't changed. Players are Agents sent in by the government to help clean up Pacific City.
Read: The Crackdown 3 Release: What We Know & Think We Know
Besides the seamless co-operative play, this new game's most striking feature is its destructible environments. Using the power of Xbox Live, buildings in Pacific City collapse and fail with real-world physics in mind. The game will have an offline mode that doesn't support full-scale destruction but does offer a similar play experience.
We don't know when Crackdown 3 will arrive on store shelves, just that Microsoft expects to make the game available sometime in 2017.
2017 Xbox One Games: Injustice 2 – May 16th
The ultimate fighting and comic book fantasy game is back for another iteration. Injustice 2 features some upgraded combat, new must-learn moves for each character, and role-playing game mechanics that allow users to upgrade their favorite villains and heroes over time.
Read: Injustice 2 Release: Everything That We Know
Injustice 2 launches on May 16th.
2017 Xbox One Games: Read Dead Redemption 2
Scheduled for release sometime in 2017, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the sequel that fans of developer Rockstar have been waiting for the most following the success of Grand Theft Auto 5. The first Red Dead Redemption was a huge hit thanks to its carefully crafted story and western roots.
Read: Red Dead Redemption 2 Release: 5 Things to Know
We know nothing about Red Dead Redemption 2 besides its release window.
2017 Xbox One Games: Star Wars Battlefront 2
Another game confirmed for 2017, Star Wars Battlefront 2's release is confirmed, but we know absolutely nothing about it. The first Star Wars Battlefront became a huge success because of its mix of great visuals and excellent combat mechanics.
All told, 2017 will be filled with must-have Xbox One games for everyone. As we get to the middle of the year, expect more details on the titles coming later in the year and downloadable content announcements for the games featured earlier in the year.
It's worth noting that Microsoft plans to launch the Xbox Scorpio sometime this year as well. That'll likely spurn even more talk of game upgrades as developers look to take advantage of that console's internals. An Xbox One S costs $299.

With the holidays drawing to a close and a new year virtually upon us, food insecurity and the need for donations – especially to area food banks and pantries – remains high throughout the Borderland.
The Paso del Norte Institute for Healthy Living (IHL), in partnership with the Paso del Norte Health Foundation, is working to address food insecurity in our region.
According to a recent report by the IHL, although economic times seem to have improved since the Great Recession, many people still struggle to make ends meet.
One measure of this is food insecurity – limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods.
Nationally, food insecurity has come down in the past 2 years. Data from 2014 show food insecurity in the US at 15.4%. El Paso fared better at 11%. However, if data from households with children is included, food insecurity rates in El Paso climb to 25.5%, well above the US rate of 20.9%.
A project in partnership with The Food Trust, a national non-profit organization that specializes in assessing the food access landscape, convening stakeholders to develop recommendations, and providing training to build local capacity to implement healthy food access programming.
Re-establishment of the Food Policy Council in El Paso in partnership with Margaux Dalbin from United Way and Gary Williams from El Paso Community Foundation.
A program called Fresh Start at Kelly Memorial Food Pantry.
A project called Growing Food Connections out of Doña Ana County in partnership with the Mesilla Valley Food Policy Council and La Semilla Food Center.
Many community-based organizations in Juárez working to provide food to food-insecure children and families including Ciudadanos Comprometidos con La Paz (CCOMPAZ), Centro de Asesoria y Promoción Juvenil (CASA), and Arbol de Vida.
Working with local school lunch programs to help increase participation.
A recent partnership with UTEP for the "UTEP Grand Challenge" event that challenged teams of students and faculty to "create innovative public/private policies or programs that will increase fruit and vegetable access to food insecure people.
In addition to the partnerships and outreach programs, officials say that residents can help as well.
IHL Officials suggest that, parents "encourage your children and others to participate in the school lunch program. These lunches are regulated through the USDA and provide low or no-cost nutritious meals for school children…(and) volunteer their time or give a financial donation to a local food pantry or food bank here in El Paso or Las Cruces.


For musicians enjoying the crisp note delivery of the Oregon Concert and wanting to play at the top of the fretboard, Breedlove has added the Oregon Concert cutaway. Crafted with Breedlove's comfortable and accessible soft cutaway design, this model invites you to utilize every note on all 20 frets.
The Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best- selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well balanced, compact, and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you're a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch.
Breedlove guitar necks feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. Unlike traditional dovetail neck joints that require major surgery for a neck re-set, it is easy to adjust the play action and neck angle with the Breedlove bolt-on neck and single-action truss rod. The hand- rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish contributes to ideal playability – the finish process alone takes three days, including precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.

// The HDCOz will handle modesettings and scannout operations for hardware
// devices.
//
// In the DRM world there are 3 components that need to be paired up to be able
// to display an image to the monitor: CRTC (cathode ray tube controller),
// encoder and connector. The CRTC determines which framebuffer to read, when
// to scanout and where to scanout. Encoders converts the stream from the CRTC
// to the appropriate format for the connector. The connector is the physical
// connection that monitors connect to.
//
// There is no 1:1:1 pairing for these components. It is possible for an encoder
// to be compatible to multiple CRTCs and each connector can be used with
// multiple encoders. In addition, it is possible to use one CRTC with multiple
// connectors such that we can display the same image on multiple monitors.
//
// For example, the following configuration shows 2 different screens being
// initialized separately.
// -------------      -------------
// | Connector |      | Connector |
// |   HDMI    |      |    VGA    |
// -------------      -------------
//       ^                  ^
//       |                  |
// -------------      -------------
// |  Encoder1  |     |  Encoder2 |
// -------------      -------------
//       ^                  ^
//       |                  |
// -------------      -------------
// |   CRTC1   |      |   CRTC2   |
// -------------      -------------
//
// In the following configuration 2 different screens are associated with the
// same CRTC, so on scanout the same framebuffer will be displayed on both
// monitors.
// -------------      -------------
// | Connector |      | Connector |
// |   HDMI    |      |    VGA    |
// -------------      -------------
//       ^                  ^
//       |                  |
// -------------      -------------
// |  Encoder1  |     |  Encoder2 |
// -------------      -------------
//       ^                  ^
//       |                  |
//      ----------------------
//      |        CRTC1       |
//      ----------------------
//
// Note that it is possible to have more connectors than CRTCs which means that
// only a subset of connectors can be active independently, showing different
// framebuffers. Though, in this case, it would be possible to have all
// connectors active if some use the same CRTC to mirror the display.

Q: Display Jquery Slick option on media screen I'm beginner in training!
I have a slick Slider on my header.
I have Dots:true and arrow on my slider with JQuery.
I want a display:none on my Dots when screen are <1000px.
I'm Starting Jquery so I dont know how to put a media queries on my app.js.
For now, I have this on my JQuery:
$('.hp-header-slider').slick({
        autoplay: true,
        autoplaySpeed: 4000,
        dots: true,
        infinite: true,
        cssEase: 'linear',
        arrows: false,
    });

And I put media queries on my css but didn't work.
 /* PHONE - MOBIL - TAB  */
@media screen and (max-width: 1000px){

  .hp-header-slider .slick-dotted ul.slick-list li.slick-dots{
    display: none !important;
  }

I don't find the doc for media on JQuery like Slike-Slider .. Thanks for your help

A: Slick have built-in responsive option for this:
For example:

$('.responsive').slick({
dots: true,
infinite: false,
speed: 300,
slidesToShow: 4,
slidesToScroll: 4,
responsive: [
  {
    breakpoint: 1024,
    settings: {
      slidesToShow: 3,
      slidesToScroll: 3,
      infinite: true,
      dots: true
    }
  },
  {
    breakpoint: 600,
    settings: {
      slidesToShow: 2,
      slidesToScroll: 2
    }
  },
  {
    breakpoint: 480,
    settings: {
      slidesToShow: 1,

NHL Central Scouting rankings show 2017 draft class could be Minnesota strong
By Drew Herron, SportsEngine, 04/14/17, 7:30PM CDT
The state could have three players drafted in the first round.
Eden Prairie senior and Mr. Hockey winner Casey Mittelstadt is listed as the No. 3 skater in North America according to NHL Central Scouting's final report leading up to the June draft. Photo by Drew Herron, SportsEngine
The NHL Central Scouting final rankings were released this week, and it indicates that Minnesota skaters saw a surge in value on the front end for the upcoming (June 22-23) NHL Draft at the United Center, Chicago.
With three possible first-round picks of the 24 native Minnesotans listed, this could prove to be a bumper crop of local talent put before the league.
Tops on the list from the state of hockey and No. 3 overall on the list of North American skaters is Casey Mittelstadt, a senior forward from Eden Prairie and Gophers commit who last month was awarded Mr. Hockey.
Minnesotans Taken in the NHL Draft
Eden Prairie's Casey Mittelstadt a once-in-a-decade player
Mittelstadt, who spent time this winter with Green Bay of the USHL, scored 21 goals and tallied 64 points to lead an Eden Prairie squad that spent most of last season as the top-ranked team in Class 2A, and later finished third at the State Tournament. In Green Bay, he scored 13 goals and 30 points in 24 games.
Also in the top 25 are No. 13-ranked Ryan Poehling and No. 24 Grant Mismash, both forwards. Poehling graduated early from Lakeville North and elected to play his true senior season at St. Cloud State, where he scored seven goals and finished with 13 points. Mismash, an Edina native, spent last season with the U.S. National Development Program U18 team where he averaged nearly a point per game (23-20-53).
Mismash, a North Dakota commit, is followed on the list by Shattuck-St. Mary's teammate Scott Reedy, a Gophers recruit from Prior Lake rated No. 40 by Central Scouting. Reedy, a center, produced 21 goals and 41 points in 53 games with the U.S. U18 team.
Mikey Anderson from Roseville (Hill-Murray), rated No. 51, rounds out a list of skaters who saw an average improvement of nearly five points from their midterm rankings. Anderson, a 5-11, 194-pound defenseman, played this season with the Waterloo Blackhawks of the USHL, where he (5-29-34) finished the regular season a plus-29.

One high school player who saw his stock soar during his senior season was Maple Grove's Sam Huff. He is listed at No. 131 in the final rankings and has committed to the Gophers.
Huff scored 20 goals and finished with 42 assists in helping lead the Crimson to their second state tournament berth. On the midterm rankings released in mid-January, Huff was listed but did not have spot among the 217 ranked skaters.
Making the list were a pair of state champions in No. 161 ranked Micah Miller from Grand Rapids (Class 2A) and Hermantown's (Class 1A) Dylan Samberg, listed at No. 67. Like half the players on the list, both are headed to the National Colligate Hockey Conference, where Samberg will stay close to home and play for UMD and Miller will go to North Dakota.
Others on the NHL's scouting list who also were seen at the state tournament include St. Thomas Academy's Robbie Stucker, ranked No. 88 and headed to Colorado College, and with Eden Prairie's Nicky Leivermann, a Mr. Hockey finalist and Notre Dame commit.
Atop the list of North American goaltenders is Jake Oettinger from Lakeville (North), and most recently of Boston University. Oettinger has and NHL-ready frame (6-foot-4 and 205 pounds) and thrived (2.11 goals-against average/.927 save percentage) during his freshman season.
Two other goalkeepers made the list, both with ties to Holy Family Catholic in Dayton Rasmussen at No. 6 and Jared Moe at No. 26. Moe played with the Fire last winter, posting a .922 save percentage and a 1.44 goals-against average. He is uncommitted, while Rasmussen is a Denver recruit who spent the last two seasons in the USHL with Waterloo, Tri-City and Chicago.

Varsity fees back to $15 000
EducationFeaturedLocal
By Nehanda Radio On Jan 30, 2020 15,905
Midlands State University (MSU)
By Ivan Zhakata
State universities could be charging more than $15 000 a semester once all ancilliary fees, accommodation and meals have been added on top of the Government-controlled tuition fees.
Midlands State University
Government set maximum tuition fees between $3 500 and $5 000 per semester for universities, depending on course while tuition at colleges was set at between $500 and $1 500. The ancillary fees, accommodation and meals were left to the institutions to determine.
University ancillary charges include registration, examination, maintenance, medical aid, technology, students union, sports levy, laboratory, travel, student development, fieldwork and graduation fees.

At the University of Zimbabwe (UZ), where tuition for a medical student was set at $4 995, the total including ancillary fees is $8 655. Students staying on campus will also have to pay accommodation fees, which has not been invoiced but is said to be between $8 000 to $10 000.
Students from outside Harare who opt to rent rooms in Mount Pleasant and Vainona near campus, will probably have to pay their landlords anything between $1 200 and $1 800, often demanded in foreign currency per semester.
Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation and Technology Development Minister, Professor Amon Murwira has, however, encouraged parents and guardians to take advantage of the student loan scheme saying Government has no jurisdiction over ancillary fees.
"People should take loans because they are meant to be used," he said.
"The loan scheme is meant to be used because we can see that our fees are still lower than that of high schools. There is no way a student can go to a university without chemicals, equipment and stuff meant for studies. Parents should capitalise on the loan scheme and they have to understand that this is not a cash economy hence we encourage them to take loans.
"We want our students to have access to education and we have agreed that students on attachment should pay 60 percent of the tuition. They should access these loans because they are guaranteed by the Government."
Parents and guardians who spoke to our Harare Bureau however expressed reservations on the accessibility of the loan scheme saying the loans were nothing but private loans being granted by a local bank.
"They are being touted as students' loans but they are actually private loans being granted after proving capacity to repay. The repayment is set to commence the next month after the loan application is approved. So a student with no one to guarantee the ability to pay won't get the loan," a disgruntled parent said.
"In the case of the UZ, the loan applications are processed via the University of Zimbabwe Cadetship Office but the ultimate decision-maker is CBZ (Bank), and repayment is by debiting a salary at not more than 40 percent of applicant's net income.
"At the end of the day the parent is left with nothing. Government is forgetting that we already have other loans and stop orders."
Responding to the high cost of ancillary fees, Prof Murwira said Government was assisting university operations by giving each university $6 million for operational costs such as water and electricity.
"We are now helping universities on their operations and each university has received $6 million for operational costs. This was last done in 2009 but we have restarted it.
"We also encouraged universities to increase agricultural programmes to ensure that their food comes from their farms. Our main aim is never to have students outside the class but to make sure that they are in class. Levies are normally a function of how the economy functions," he said.
UZ director of information and public relations Mr Daniel Chihombori said the final accommodation fees will be announced on February 24 to allow parents and guardians time to look for the money.
Last semester UZ students paid $1 200 as accommodation fees.
Harare Institute of Technology communications officer Mr Jefry Makumbe also said that the institution was also reviewing the accommodation fees and these would be published as soon as they are approved.
At Harare Polytechnic students paid $1 540 for accommodation but the fee is reportedly under review and it is likely to increase in due course.
Bindura University of Science Education director of public relations Mr James Gutura said they proposed their fee structure last week and it is yet to be signed by the parent ministry.
Mutare Polytechnic College students staying on campus will have to fork out $6 990.
At Kwekwe and Gweru Polytechnic colleges, students said they paid $3 500 for food and $730 as accommodation over and above $1 300 for tuition.
At Masvingo Polytechnic, resident students are paying $3 500 per semester for accommodation but sources said the figure would be reviewed soon while at Masvingo Teachers' College resident students are also paying $3 500.
A source at Bondolfi Teachers' College said many students were going for off-campus accommodation because of the $4 000 being charged by the institution per semester.
Great Zimbabwe University director of information Mr Anderson Chipatiso said campus accommodation fees for the forthcoming semester will be decided after consultation with the institution's students representative body.
At Midlands State University authorities said they were yet to come up with a food and accommodation fee structure with the new semester expected to start mid-February.
However students at the two institutions said they were told to budget for between $8 000 and $10 000. The Chronicle

If you've ever stared at photos of overwater bungalows and dreamed of visiting one, you are not alone. We had always thought it would be impossible for us to stay in an overwater bungalow, but managed the splurge for our honeymoon last April.
Yes! An overwater bungalow is the ultimate vacation if you are looking for relaxation and privacy, all with an amazing view. You don't even have to leave your "hotel room" for a tan! Snorkeling with sea turtles is just a few steps from your balcony. No need to walk to the resort bar- just choose a drink from your mini fridge. You will not have a care in the world while admiring the ocean view from your overwater bungalow deck.
At the end of April 2017, we stayed in an overwater bungalow with a Jacuzzi at Veligandu Island Resort in the Maldives. This resort is considered one of the more affordable resorts in the Maldives, but is still not "cheap" by any means.
The overwater Jacuzzi bungalows are also more expensive than the regular overwater bungalows, but we got our money's worth! We used the Jacuzzi multiple times each day, sometimes sitting in there late into the night drinking champagne! The Jacuzzi room doors also open up to the ocean so your view is unbeatable.
At Veligandu Island, this will depend if you opt for all inclusive or just full board. Full board includes your buffet meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All-inclusive includes unlimited bottled water, soft drinks, beer, house wines, and spirits. You'll also get to drink some of the items in your room's mini bar which is really nice. We loved not having to leave our bungalow view for a refill!
At Veligandu Island, the All Inclusive Package also includes some amenities and activities on the island.
Since we only stayed three nights, we actually didn't make enough use out of these extras. We only did the sunset boat cruise!
How did we afford it?
Staying in an overwater bungalow is certainly more expensive than our typical vacation; however, we felt it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a perfect splurge for our honeymoon. All-inclusive is great because you don't have to worry about a thing while you're there. It truly is just a relaxing vacation. But at $760 per night, we knew we wouldn't be able to spend an entire week there. That being said, the seaplane transfer to the island isn't cheap, so you want to make sure that you stay long enough to get your money's worth from that.
We decided 3 days was the perfect amount of time, but wanted to make it worth it to travel to that part of the world. Fortunately, we had two weeks off and so we made our honeymoon a 3-part extravaganza. We started in London, which helped us choose the Maldives in the first place. (It was only an 13-hour flight with connection from there, compared to over a day of flying from the U.S.) Had we just done an overwater bungalow for our honeymoon, we would have needed to choose a closer destination. Since we could only afford 3 nights in the Maldives, we decided to look on a map and choose one more destination to add on to the trip. We decided on Sri Lanka, because it is only a one-hour flight from the Malé airport!
TIP: We'd suggest finding an overwater bungalow destination where you might be able to tie two trips into one. This way you'll still get the experience, but maybe not the sticker shock of an entire week in the bungalow!
The second major thing that helped us afford the overwater bungalow was Zola. Since we are not "things" people, we decided against having a regular wedding registry. Besides, we had lived together several years and already had pretty much everything we needed! Instead, we only made a honeymoon registry. Our guests could contribute to our honeymoon airfare, all inclusive package, hotel stays, and activities. Once your guests contribute, you can opt to transfer the money to your account, or you can wait until a later date and transfer it all at once. This worked great for us, as we transferred the funds whenever payments were due for our accommodations. For example, our Sri Lanka safari required a deposit and subsequent payments prior to our travel date.
Would we do it again anytime soon?
Probably not… unless we happen to win the lottery! We have so many places we'd like to see in the world that I can't imagine splurging a few thousand dollars to do this again right away. I think it would be a great trip for us to save up for maybe our 10-year anniversary. Maybe next time we'll try out Bora Bora or Tahiti!
I have always wanted to stay in an overwater bungalow! I think a honeymoon is the perfect reason to splurge on such a beautiful setting. Thanks for sharing all this useful information. It's good to know that lots of lovely extras are included.
The extras do help make you feel like you're getting your money's worth!
This looks like a great honeymoon spot. Although the cost per night is somewhat high, since it is all inclusive, you are getting a lot for your money. We have been on cruises during peak season when we paid about the same amount, but this did not include all the amenities like drinks, etc. which were extra. We have not experienced an over-water bungalow yet, but would love to some time.
I totally agree on the all inclusive vs. trips where everything is paid separately. Sometimes they seem cheaper at first but really add up!
What a great spot for a honeymoon! Great tip on putting money towards the trip too, but using Zola! I'd never heard of that. In my twenties, I went to Bora Bora and we stayed in an overwater bungalow. Loved it! I would highly recommend for your 10th year anniversary!
I think it's great you were able to have this experience for such a special occasion! Although I must admit I'm not sure if we could justify the expense ourselves…well at least at not this stage in our life. Maybe one day! It's a dream though really, the idea of staying in an overwater bungalow somewhere in the Pacific or the Maldives – although they're a little further away from home for us. I guess if we were spending that much though, then an extra few hundred for the flights is probably a drop in the ocean!
It definitely is a bigger expense than we normally spend on traveling, but fortunately our honeymoon registry helped us a ton! Depending on where you're located, there are now several overwater bungalow resorts in the Caribbean as well, so might be something worth considering someday!
Sometimes you just have to do things like this though don't you? What a place to do it too. I've actually just seen incredibly cheap flights from Australia to the Maldives so am seriously considering a trip here. I wouldn't stay anywhere else than an overwater bungalow to be honest as to me, that's what the Maldives is all about. Thanks for the tip about the seaplane though, hadn't factored that in.
I just got some serious envy reading this post and looking at your photos. I have always wondered whether it was worth it as well but I think you are right, a honeymoon would definitely be a good reason!
This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience (amid you're lucky). It is something I've always wanted to do, and this was the most informative overview I've ever read about overwater bungalows.
Wow, I bet that was a honeymoon worth spending on! It's super expensive for me at the moment but, since you could afford it, it was worth every penny. 3 buffet meals each day, unlimited wine and spirits, plus a spectacular ocean environment…what's not to love?
I agree an overwater bungalow worth the splurge and just wow wow wow. I have never stayed in one but it is definitely on the bucket list. I am definitely saving my pennies to go on a holidays like this one day. Veligandu Island Resort in the Maldives definitely sounds like it was worth every penny.
Hello! We are planning to do a side trip to combine with Maldives for our honeymoon too. Just wondering how much you spent for the whole honeymoon and for how long so we can have an idea?
Hi Jewel, Congrats on your upcoming wedding! It's hard to say exactly how much we spent because we combined three locations: London, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. We did share the costs for a Sri Lanka safari if you are interested in that side trip: https://marriedwithwanderlust.com/guide-to-safari-in-sri-lanka/. I'd also recommend a Honeymoon Registry! That's what we did and it made a huge difference in being able to have the honeymoon of our dreams. Check out our post on that at https://marriedwithwanderlust.com/dream-honeymoon/.
Overwater Bungalows are expensive but it offers lifetime memories and amazing travel experience. If I am earning high enough to spend this much money, then I would definitely going for overwater bungalow trip to the Maldives or Bora Bora.
We totally agree that it's worth saving the money for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Would love to see Bora Bora if we ever get the opportunity to do it again!
