Believe in T
Published: April 21, 2010 ~ 1
My sister's teacher forwarded a touching story about a little boy named Teddy Stoddard to my parents and many others, and it quickly made its way to me. The short version of the story is that the grubby, withdrawn, sometimes unpleasant Teddy earns a place in his stern teacher's heart when she discovers that he had been forced to endure the death of his mother two years before. The teacher was immediately ashamed of the way she had treated Teddy. Soon afterward, Teddy gave the teacher two Christmas gifts: a near-empty bottle of perfume and a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, both wrapped in a brown paper grocery bag. Some of the other children laughed and poked fun at Teddy's gifts, but the teacher treasured them. From that day on, the two developed a friendship that withstood the test of time. And many years later, after Teddy became a doctor, he thanked his old teacher for changing his life.
A quick Google search revealed that little Teddy Stoddard's story was a work of fiction first published as such in a magazine in 1976. I can imagine that same discovery has marked the end of the story's significance for many people. Not me.
Though she is not grubby or unpleasant, I still see some of my sister in Teddy. Taylor is beautiful and smart, brave and kindhearted. But Taylor is fighting her own battle, and because of that, she is occasionally misunderstood. She has Batten disease. Because blindness is part of her disease, her eyes don't act the same way sighted people's eyes act. And if she's in a group of people, she'll often get very quiet. Some people may think that means she's not paying attention. But she is; she's listening. She's always listening.
Some may think it would be easy to give up on Taylor. There are plenty of other children out there who can see. There are plenty of other children who aren't up against something as cruel as Batten disease. But like the fictional Teddy Stoddard, Taylor is filled with dreams. Because of an unfortunate roll of the genetic dice, her dreams may be harder to reach. But that's never stopped Taylor from reaching up toward the sky; running 5Ks, going to school dances, learning Braille, memorizing the words to all of her favorite songs, getting straight As and teaching me more about love and dreams than I ever imagined possible.
Teddy's story may be fictional, but Taylor's is very real. And regardless of how you feel about Teddy's story, remember the essence of its closing lines:
Just try to make a difference in someone's life today.
Believe in angels – then return the favor.
Don't ever stop believing in people who still believe in their dreams.
Don't ever stop believing in T.
Teddy Stoddard
Letter to an Angel

Pine River State Bank
Pine River, MN
Pine River State Bank is a Pine River, MN-based, FDIC-insured bank founded in 1918. The bank holds equity of $9.5 million on assets of $118.4 million, according to December 31, 2017, regulatory filings.
U.S. bank customers have $108.5 million on deposit at 5 offices in MN run by 40 full-time employees. With that footprint, the bank has amassed loans and leases worth $66.8 million, including real estate loans of $54.5 million.
Overall, Bankrate believes that, as of December 31, 2017, Pine River State Bank exhibited a good condition, earning 4 out of 5 stars for safety and soundness. Keep reading for a look at how the bank fared on the three major criteria Bankrate used to evaluate U.S. banks.
When it comes to measuring an an institution's financial fortitude, capital is key. It works as a cushion against losses and affords protection for accountholders during periods of financial trouble for the bank. From a safety and soundness perspective, more capital is preferred.
On our test to measure the adequacy of a bank's capital, Pine River State Bank received a score of 8 out of a possible 30 points, failing to reach the national average of 13.13.
One way to measure this buffer is looking at a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. Pine River State Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.08 percent, higher than the 6 percent level considered adequate by regulators, but under the national average of 25.65 percent. A higher capital ratio suggests the bank will be better able to stand up to financial difficulties.
Overall, Pine River State Bank held equity amounting to 8.01 percent of its assets, which was lower than the national average of 12.03 percent.
This test is intended to try to understand how the bank's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as unpaid mortgages.
A bank with lots of these kinds of assets could eventually have to use capital to absorb losses, diminishing its cushion of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and no longer earning interest for the bank, decreasing earnings and increasing the chances of a future failure.
Pine River State Bank scored below the national average of 37.49 on Bankrate's test of asset quality, racking up 32 out of a possible 40 points .
A widely used indicator of asset quality is the percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets. As of December 31, 2017, 2.75 percent of Pine River State Bank's loans were noncurrent -- in other words, they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's above the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks maintain a reserve to handle problem assets known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses." That reserve's size can be a helpful indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage troubled assets, especially when compared to the total amount of problem loans. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on Pine River State Bank's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
A bank's earnings performance has an effect on its safety and soundness. Earnings may be retained by the bank, boosting its capital cushion, or be used to deal with problematic loans, likely making the bank more resilient in times of trouble. Conversely, losses reduce a bank's ability to do those things.
Pine River State Bank received above-average marks on Bankrate's earnings test, achieving a score of 18 out of a possible 30.
Return on equity, calculated by dividing net income (essentially, profit) by the total amount of equity, is one important way to measure a bank's earnings. The most recent annualized quarterly return on equity for Pine River State Bank was 9.00 percent, above the national average of 8.10 percent.
The bank reported net income of $838,000 on total equity of $9.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The bank reported an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.72 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.

This Press Museum is installed in the building where in 1605/6 was printed the newspaper "Niewe Tydinjhen", considered one of the first world newspaper. That museum is installed in the Abraham Verhoeven`s house who was an engraver, printer and journalist. In 1605, the duke Alberto and Isabel gives him the privilege of printing a newspaper with prohibition of criticise the Spanish politic, the Catholic Church or the foreign royal courts.
The museum has the bigger and diversified spoil of world newspaper beyond same printing, binding machines and printing-set-up equipment. The all newspaper collection exceed the two millions of exemplars that cames from more than 120 countries. Principal curiosities: the biggest newspaper - "The Constellation" (USA, 1859) of 2,5 x 1,3 cm. and the smallest newspaper - "Utrecht�s Niewblad" (Netherlands, 1845), that has 12 x 8 cm.
The upbringing of that museum - opened in 1987 - owes mainly to the interest of his keeper - George Blommaert - who has collected all worlds newspaper was prolonging his father's collection.
Established in the old and famous "Plantin House" the Plantin-Moretus Museum is one of the most curious and rich world museums.
It belongs to the Antwerp city council and results of the purchase of old workshop and collections to the descending of Christopher Plantin, Edward Moretus, in 1876.
Since 1867 the printing office stopped work hading its last printing book in 1866: Horae Diurnae S. Francisci. Behind stared three centuries of work.
Plantin was one of the greatest printers of all time and his descending knew to protect the rich heiress patrimony.
In 1877 the museum had opened showing its large spoil composed by typographic pieces, some of them 17th century, rich library and painting collection.
Along this year there was promoted constant temporary exhibitions followed of thematic debates.
Placed temporary in the Albert I Royal Library corridors, in Brussels centre. The museum has done its first presentation in 1975. In the present time the museum joins more than 300 machines. It has one of the biggest worlds printing spoil, but only about the third part is exposed to the public.

Placed in open Odense Cultural Centre in a Denmark Island, those museums work interconnected in the same building of an old textile factory. The Printing Arts Museum opened in 1984 and the Press Museum was integrated in the same space in 1989. Until today the Press Museum had an unstable existence since its establishment in 1957.
This is a live space where old printers and graphic artists done several works during the public visits. Sometimes it is made special shows about different subjects. The fundamental worry has been collected and protects the materials relating to Danish history printing production. The collections are rich and embrace an enormous length of time since Middle Ages until today. Internationally had been entering into unions with others specialised European Museums.

The Lyon museum is installed in a 15th century building and is connected to the Municipal Library of that French City, the third one getting press activities.
The story says that after Strasbourg (1460), where lived Gutenberg, and Paris (1471), Lyon was the first French borough to used movable printing-types (1473). The most extensive and significative of all museum deals with "Press", involving several rooms. The press museum shows two different sections: one connected to book history and other to stamping history.
The museum has a great diversity of equipment and documents divided in a dozen rooms on three floors. Between several printing press this museum shows a model of a 15th century Lionise manual printing done based in the "Danse Macabre" by the printer Mathieu Husz.
Moreover shows several incunabula - where is included the first French book decorated by one wood engraved illustration (1478) - the museum dedicated three rooms to the press type and letter technician learning.
Installed in Nantes Mediateca building the press museum joined a conjunct of value pieces, being the most ancients reported to 17th century manual setting-up type. The museum was opened is December 1986.
The museum visitor can see old printers working with same exhibit machines. In the museum biggest rooms are presented several printing technicians and in other spaces we could see different engraves types, binding process and press offices documents.

This Portuguese museum is in installation stage. It is placed in an ancient factory in the Right side of Douro river, near "Pal�cio do Freixo", a Nazoni architectural jewel.
The first stage project, that implies 1.500 m2, was open in 4th April 1997. The project is an initiative of the AMI - Associa��o Museu da Imprensa established in 1989, an institution without lucrative aim.
Since 1989 until the present time the worries was the gathering and preservation of equipment as well as the researches about Printing Arts in Portugal.
The AMI spoil has already 300 machines from which 100 are recovered and ready to work. Between them there are rare equipment like the printing press "Alauzet", two "Albion Press", a typesetter machine "Typograph", one pedal "Marinoni", a rotary printing press "Koenig & Bauer" and one lithographic wood printing-press.
Some of the old printing techniques and machines are able to be activated by the public.

It is the more recent European Museum in Press sector. That museum opened in October 1995 with a great innovation: being interactive. The museum is installed in the National Library ground floor area and contains a 22 multimedia systems that allows easy and intuitive access to all digital information.
In this museum, for the first time in the world, are used holographic interactive simulations representing some expressive moments of book history. The museum suggests several ways and among them a Mesopotamia journey to the write inventor 5.500 years ago or to Alexandria Library.
This museum opened in 1987 is the only world press museum installed in a convent. Although its story remounts to 1237 the Real Monasterio del Puig de Santa Maria was built in the 16th century. The press museum is integrated in the convent-sanctuary visits system. It is proper the existence of that museum in Valencia because was in that Spanish south-easterly City that Iberian Press begun. The first printing-book in Valencia dates from 1474 and before that there is no acquaintance of another printing-book in Iberian Peninsula. Besides, Valencia was in the half 15th century one of the most populous and important city that peninsula.
The museum shows assorted spoil of machines, typographic equipment and documents that confirmed the principal moments of press development. The most courious piece is one exact copy of a wood printing press that maybe was used by Gutenberg for the Bible 42 lines printing. This printing press is the very same of another one of the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz.

You can make two teams, set their uniforms, their stadium, logo, etc. If you want to build a team around hitting, use the Local ballpark which costs 10,000 Power points in the shop area. If you want a team that will be based around pitching and defense, use the Panrika ballpark which also costs 10,000 Power points in the shop area.
Closers go fast in the draft. If you are manually doing the draft, get about nine pitchers (five starters, two or three long relievers, and the last one a closer). You will get a quality pitcher that will get the saves instead of having to put in a reliever that does not have the kind of skills closers should have. For example, in your first pick, choose John Smoltz. He has over 150 saves in his career.

Molecule With Net Dipole
However, CO_2 is a linear molecule, so the two C-O bonds are polarized in equal and opposite directions, and exactly cancel each other out. Therefore, CO_2 has no dipole moment. For H_2S the bonds are both polarized, but H_2S is a bent molecule, not linear, so the polarizations do not cancel, and H_2S has a net dipole moment.
With negatively-charged electrons hanging out by one "pole" of the oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms on the other, each water molecule is like a very very tiny magnet. This is called the dipole moment.
Dipole moment is a vector quantity, so it has both magnitude and direction. Every bond in molecule has dipole moment and its direction is usually assigned as from partial positive to partial negative charge. Net dipole moment is simply sum of all.

In chemistry, a dipole usually refers to the separation of charges within a molecule between two covalently bonded atoms or atoms that share an ionic bond. For example, a water molecule (H 2 O) is a dipole. The oxygen side of the molecule carries a net negative charge, while the side with the two hydrogen atoms has a net positive electrical charge.

A molecule with a permanent dipole moment is called a polar molecule. See dipole–dipole attractions. Instantaneous dipoles These occur due to chance when electrons happen to be more concentrated in one place than another in a molecule, creating a temporary dipole. These dipoles are smaller in magnitude than permanent dipoles, but still play a.
Apr 02, 2018 · If you use a molymod set, you will kind of see that your net dipole moment would be directed upward in this case. And so the individual bond dipoles are going to add to give you a molecular dipole, in this case pointed up, and so therefore you're going to have a dipole moment associated with your water molecule.
Molecular Dipole Moments. Even though the total charge on a molecule is zero, the nature of chemical bonds is such that the positive and negative charges do not completely overlap in most molecules. Such molecules are said to be polar because they possess a permanent dipole moment. A good example is the dipole moment of the water molecule.
The dipole moment is a vector that shows how the charge is distributed in a molecule. It can be thought of as the net sum of the individual dipoles within the molecule. The following table lists the.
Here, the first term describes the coherent phase modulation of the molecular ensemble through the dipole interaction with the laser field. The second term represents the net effect of absorption.
An acetone molecule does have a net dipole. The dipole moment of acetone is 2.91 D. This is caused by the difference in electronegativity between methyl groups and a carbonyl group.
However, discotic columns self-assembled in this manner have no net dipole; instead, the discs pack with alternate 'head-to-tail' layering to minimize free energy, which cancels out the columns'.

The Houston Rockets entered the NBA in 1967 as the 'San Diego Rockets' playing their home games in the San Diego Sports Arena. The franchise made little noise in Southern California though they did become the answer to a basketball trivia question by making Pat Riley with their first draft pick. Riley did little as a player but went on to become one of the greatest coaches/general managers in NBA history. After four years, they relocated to Houston and became the first NBA franchise in the state of Texas.
The newly minted Houston Rockets had a serious problem upon their arrival in Texas–they didn't have a home court venue. The result was a brutal first two seasons where they became an itinerant basketball team playing in a variety of arenas. In Houston, the team played in the Astrodome, Sam Houston Coliseum, AstroHall and the Hofheinz Pavillion at the University of Houston. At times they were forced to 'take to the road' to play 'home games' in far-flung cities including San Diego, Albuquerque, San Antonio and Waco. History has proven that the 'traveling home team' concept is a bad idea, and the Rockets were no exception. Both 'transient' years produced losses on the court and meager attendance numbers of less than 5,000 per game. The nadir was a game at Waco, Texas with a paid attendance of 759 fans. After two seasons 'on the road', the Rockets moved into the Hofheinz Pavillion for the next four seasons.
Things started to come together for the Rockets in the mid-1970's. They moved into their first 'permanent home' in 1975 and would play in The Summit Arena (also known as the Compaq Center) for the next twenty-eight years. They introduced their iconic red and yellow uniforms around this time and acquired some very talented players including Moses Malone and Calvin Murphy. In 1983 and 1984, the Rockets ended up with the #1 pick in the NBA draft and selected Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon. The 'Twin Towers' brought the Rockets their first major success and the team played the Boston Celtics in a surprisingly competitive six game NBA Finals series. Sampson would be dealt to Golden State in 1983 but had his career cut short by chronic knee injuries. Olajuwon became one the best centers in NBA history and led the Rockets to the NBA Championship in 1994 and 1995.
Houston is once again a 'hot' NBA team with James Harden and Dwight Howard leading the way. They're also becoming a very popular team nationally. The Rockets might be more popular outside of the United States as they attracted a big Asian fanbase during Yao Ming's tenure with the team. Fans looking to watch Houston Rockets game live will find them on national television 25 times this season. The local broadcast affiliate is Comcast SportsNet Houston, and you'll find the radio stream for tonight's game on SportsTalk 790. If you're looking for a Houston Rockets live stream you'll find the TV broadcast stations to be 'hit or miss'. ESPN provides good streaming coverage; TNT provides coverage of 'selected games' while ABC and Comcast SportsNet offer no streaming. Another option is the NBA League Pass subscription which shows most games live on TV and via streaming but it is very expensive and subject to availability on your local cable system.
The best resource is to do what fans around the world did during the Yao Ming era and watched Houston Rockets online for free. You'll find Wiziwigtv, Stream2U, FrontRowSports and others. New sites come online frequently, so a Google search is necessary to track down the most current information.
Finding a streaming Rockets basketball game online is a very simple process. The directory websites will give you the option of selecting a stream speed to match your Internet connection, and you're all set. You can watch the game on your computer, smartphone or tablet. The best choice might be streaming the Houston Rockets live stream to your television set using a set top box (Roku, Google Chromecast, etc.). No matter what device you use to watch Houston Rockets game live you'll never miss a moment of the action!

Kim Kardashian Calls Tyson Beckford 'Sis' And Catches Hell For It
Cherie Saunders, EURWeb.com
( Photo credit: PR Photos)
Kim Kardashian West came for Tyson Beckford's sexual orientation on social media, strongly suggesting that he isn't into her because he's not into women at all.
This all started when Tyson commented on a photo of Kim that surfaced on social media Tuesday.
"Sorry. I don't care for it personally," he wrote, adding, "She's not real, doctor f**ked up on her right hip."
Kim fired back, "Sis we all know why you don't care for it."
Now, some folks on social media are calling Kim homophobic.
She has yet to respond to the criticism, and Tyson has kept quiet about Kim's response, except to underscore his original point: "My opinion on plastic surgery stays the same, not for me! I personally don't care for it! Done end of story!"
#ClapbackSeason 👏🏽: #KimKardashian #SteppedIntoTheShadeRoom and she did NOT come to play! 😩😩😭 #PettyWap
A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jul 31, 2018 at 12:26pm PDT
And while we have your attention, Kim K has pissed off both the LGBT and black communities when she responded to Tyson Beckford's body shaming comments by using the slang term "sis."
The beef all went down in the comments section of The Shade Room's Instagram account, reports The Blast.
Here's the deal. The term "sis" is common in the LGBT community, used often to refer to an LGBT person both in a positive and negative way. It can be seen as homophobic if used by someone who is not part of the LGBT community.
Some have also taken offense because the word is used in the black community as well; "sis" being short for "sista."
Social media reaction was all over the map — people from both communities got on Kim Kardashian for using the word, while others got on Tyson for his body shaming comment.
Ok here's a question. IF Tyson Beckford IS gay… is Kim Kardashian's "sis" comment homophobic or just disrespectful. You don't gotta comment, you don't gotta retweet. Just think about it. 🤔🤔🤔
— Qartier Quise (@_ThatsQuise) August 1, 2018
BTW who gave Kim Kardashian permission to say 'sis' anyway? We can't have nothing….

Surprised Kanye didn't get involved. What led up to Tyson commenting about another man's wife in a public disparaging way? It's one thing when no names (like me) do it on internet site comment sections, but Tyson is a "celeb" and was wrong for that. He can express his opinion and KK has a right to go in. I'm not Kim's biggest fan, and can't for all the money in the world understand what makes that used up woman so attractive. However, Tyson should have been bigger than that. Still waiting on Kanye's response.

Her body is absolutely HIDEOUS and unproportionate, FAKE plastic tits, FAKE ass and why her crotch area looks swollen like camel toe on steroids. LaLa Antony (Kim's BFF) is producing a show called "Killer Curves" investigates the increasingly popular and sometimes fatal trend that is globally impacting the lives of many women of color: black market cosmetic surgery. Unfortunately, black women are trying to emulate ho's like Kim they have no idea how HORRIBLE and ridiculous they look walking around with a body full of plastic. Kim Kardashian looks like s**t, the worst badly built body in Hollywood and she thinks she's slaying! And NO love for Tyson black woman hater I wouldn't doubt him being a lil on the sweet side he gets no protest from me. I'm glad it was a white woman who dogged him out and called him a sissy.

I hear you African American Woman. FB, Twitter and Insta-Gram are ruining society.

Why is this brother coming for her in the first place. So he threw a stone and expected her to just sit back and take it ? I don't like either one of them, but he started it ! I have a problem with a man who publicly says something negative about a women ! It's not about any organization or black slang at this point – it's a man taking pot shots at a women ! I'm wondering WHY ? What was his Agenda ?

Q: php:Store image into Mysql blob, Good or bad? this question is confusing me so i thought i should listen to an expert voice !.
is it better to upload images to a folder and just save link to mysql, or better upload img itself into a blob mysql field ?
thank you very much

A: I have often built systems to store images in the database, there are pros and cons to doing this.
Pros:

*

*All your data is kept in one place, if you migrate your website/database the images will just be there

*Its easier to sort/delete/etc...

*Since you have to serve it via a PHP script, you can perform additional things such as security if required, or image processing (obviously you can do this with flat file too, but you have to make sure the security cant be bypassed by leaving the images in a public directory).

Cons:

*

*Its slower then serving a flat file from the webserver as a PHP script needs to retrieve it, and MySQL needs to return the data.

*Your database will become large very fast and not all web hosts take too kindly to this.

*The file system is faster for flat file storage and retrieval as thats exactly what a file system is designed for.

A: Bad. Your webserver does a much better job managing expiry headers and directly loading files from the filesystem. Throughput will be much higher using the filesystem. It's what it's designed for, utilize it.
SQL databases are designed for relational data, not images. You're just loading your database unnecessarily. Store the path/image name instead.

A: If your application is large i.e you have to display a large number/size of images repeatedly then you should go for first method (storing only image path in database and actual images on file system). This will reduce the processing time to display images moreover consumes less resources. Secondly, if your application requires less number of images then you can store them directly in database . This way it becomes easy to take backups and port application to another OS.

Robert Greene Interview, Part 10: "The Real Meaning of Progress"
Media December 10, 2020 / By Milena Z. Fisher, Ph.D.
"Human nature doesn't change by leaps and bounds, it doesn't change because of technology; it changes by inner awareness, by the consciousness of each individual." – Robert Greene
In 2019, TCP's Milena Z. Fisher visited Robert Greene, the author of many international bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, etc. to have a conversation about his views on creativity. You can read Milena's subsequent article A Voice Of Wisdom In Creativity Quarrel: "Mastery" by Robert Greene in which she summarizes why mastery is such an essential read for anyone interested in creativity.
In the final clip of this 10-part series, Greene talks about how technological advancement creates an illusion of progress towards a utopia of human betterment. In reality, social and traditional media confine people to echo-chambers and reinforce their confirmation bias. Only radical self-awareness and understanding of human nature's challenging aspects are the way towards true enlightenment.

Sometimes men who become disabled rely on payment from the federal government for their income. Some of those men might owe child support because they weren't able to pay it using the little income they received. Now a federal policy change may cause thousands of those men to lose their income entirely.
The policy will require electronic deposits of income instead of paper checks. That means Massachusetts parents that owed child support might lose all of their income if their disability payments have to be deposited directly into bank accounts. Many of their accounts are frozen because they've missed child support payments.
Because they were unable to work because of their disability, they missed payment and are relying on the government. With this new policy change, many men who owe child support in New York will end up with no income, and much to the money from their disability payments could end up back with the federal government. In the past, some people could cash paper checks and avoid their frozen bank accounts, but with this policy change that would be almost impossible.
While some of the money may still go to children who need the child support, many of the children are now over the age of 18 and the money will go back to the government to pay for welfare that was sent to the children when their fathers missed child support.
If someone can't make their child support payments because they become disabled, it might be possible to ask for the payments to be reduced. This all depends on an individual person's financial situation. Seeking the advice of a family law attorney might be helpful in resolving child support issues.

Q: Link installation paths and/or executable files to a list of installed applications I'm trying to create certain functionality within my C# winforms application.
I want to be able to replicate what programs like Discord, NVidia GeForce Experience, and Steam have created in their apps. Which is the ability to display a list of your installed applications while linking them to their respectable executable files.
Discord scans your system so it knows about every application you have installed and displays which game you are currently playing in its interface without any input from the user.
(This is the most relevant functionality to what I'm after)
I know how to check through the registry in C# to return a list of installed applications. I've seen many Stackoverflow questions asked about that, it is not what I need help with.
What I'm having trouble with is trying to extract information from that list to tell me where each one is installed or has its .exe file which runs the game.
Through my research into this, I've found that there isn't really a reliable way to do that through those registry keys. Even though some subkeys have a value named 'InstallLocation', half of them don't have an actual path filled in.
This is the code I have so far. (I know this isn't the only place programs could be installed, I just want a to create a working demo and then look through currentUser and the other paths where apps can be installed.) :
static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        getPrograms();
    }

    private static void getPrograms()
    {
        string registry_key = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
        using (RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registry_key))
        {
            foreach (string subkey_name in key.GetSubKeyNames())
            {
                using (RegistryKey subkey = key.OpenSubKey(subkey_name))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(subkey.GetValue("DisplayName"));
                    Console.WriteLine("-------------------------");
                }
            }
        }
    }

This works to display installed programs, yet half of the subkeys dont even have their DisplayName value set.
Would scanning for every .exe on the system be a better way to approach this, even though I would probably have to weed through installers and the like?
TL;DR: I'm trying to display a list of installed applications. When one is selected by the user, it's placed on a watch list so *my* application knows when the selected application is running and when it has closed down.
Thank you in advance for any and all help or advice given.
EDIT: Just to add, I have the code needed to watch for when a selected application is running and when it closes down. That all works fine.
I just want to allow for the option to select from a list instead of filling in input fields for the application name and .exe location.
EDIT2: I know the code I have provided is for a console app. I am trying to build the functionality in isolation by itself and then integrate it with my existing winforms app.

A: Usually a program of such kind provides a link for user to click (to start) - it doesn't expect user to start it by using CMD - so it puts an entry in the Start Menu  (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs). I think this covers most programs you are interested in.
Each entry is a .lnk file with which you can check its Target, which is usually the full path to an executable. Here is some code example. Hope this helps.

Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund available to eligible households impacted by COVID-19
What's Up Crew
The Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund's sponsoring energy companies and its administrator, United Way of Rhode Island, today announced the Fund is available to all eligible households in the state impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Fund assists households in financial difficulty, including individuals laid off, furloughed or out of business due to the coronavirus, with the payment of their home energy expenses.
The Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund is a safety net for households in crisis who are having trouble paying their energy bills. Households in need of energy assistance are encouraged to call their local Community Action Program (CAP) agency to determine if they qualify for the Fund. The CAPs determine household eligibility for the Fund based on total household income not exceeding 300 percent of the federal poverty level. For example, a household of four is eligible for the Fund if its annual income does not exceed $77,250 while a household of six cannot exceed $103,770. Grants to individual households are determined by fuel type and need with grant amounts up to $650 per heating season.
"The Fund can be a source of relief to those eligible households who are experiencing a loss of income due to the coronavirus pandemic," said Terry Sobolewski, Chairperson of the 2020 Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund and President of National Grid Rhode Island in a press release. "We urge all Rhode Island households to dial 2-1-1, United Way's 24-hour call center, if they are looking for general information about the Good Neighbor Energy Fund or need help identifying their local CAP agency to determine eligibility."
In addition to the various giving programs of Fund sponsors – Block Island Utility District, National Grid, Ocean State Power, Pascoag Utility District, Petro Home Services and RISEC LP – the campaign relies on the generosity of individuals, families and local corporations for support. Rhode Islanders most often donate to the Fund via the yellow donation envelopes that are enclosed with energy bills through the end of February.
Those interested in donating to the Fund to assist those impacted by the coronavirus can also visit www.rhodeislandgoodneighbor.org or send a check payable to "Good Neighbor Energy Fund" to Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund, c/o United Way of Rhode Island, 50 Valley Street, Providence, RI 02909-2459.

Cheddar (Beaver Dam) Pepper Scones with (Beaver Dam) Pepper Jelly
Posted in breakfast, cheese, fall, family, festival, food, fruit, history, hungary, jellies and jams, recipes, scones, simple, vegetables, wisconsin	by Melisa Limanowski
It's fall, y'all! WHERE is my life going? It's been hard to identify that it's fall now because, like many other places, we've had a heat wave for much of the last week here in Chicago. For the last few weeks, we have been spending our weekends going on as many day-trips as possible. A few weekends back, Alex and I and our friends, David and Quinn, road-tripped up to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and then back down through Milwaukee for tiki drinks. Beaver Dam is an adorable little town in Dodge County, Wisconsin, that has received a bit of attention the last few years because of the rise in popularity of its Beaver Dam Pepper.
Last month, I interviewed Jennifer Breckner, who is the chair of the Slow Food Midwest Ark of Taste Committee. I had so many things that I wanted to share about Jennifer, that I hardly had a chance to explain what the Midwest Ark of Taste actually is. According to their website, it is a "catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction." The work of the group involves identifying these varietals and championing them, by educating chefs and the public about them, growing them in the Slow Food garden, and using them as ingredients in the annual Farm Roast fundraiser. The motto of the group is "Eat it to save it." I came across the Beaver Dam Pepper in the Ark's catalog and instantly became interested in the history of this particular pepper.
Incredibly, the seeds of the Beaver Dam pepper were smuggled into the country from Hungary in 1912 by the Hussli family. They settled in Beaver Dam, and began growing the medium-hot peppers just as they had in Hungary. However, though they were loved by the Hussli's and others in Beaver Dam, they were never necessarily sought-after.
The Beaver Dam Pepper finally got its moment in the sun when a German woman named Leah Green, living in Chicago, went in search of a farmer still growing the pepper. She found John Hendrickson of Stone Circle Farm in Reeseville, Wisconsin. He agreed to sell the few peppers that he was growing at the time. Green began using these specific peppers to make various products. Meanwhile in Beaver Dam, Diana Ogle, who runs a marketing and PR company, was looking for a way to promote a local shopping center and, after hearing about Beaver Dam Pepper celebrations springing up in Chicago and Milwaukee, thought it was time to bring the Beaver Dam Pepper Festival home. For one day in September, the local pepper is celebrated with a pepper chili cook-off, an apple pepper pie eating contest, and an apple pepper pancake and sausage breakfast. 2017 marked the fourth year of the Festival celebrating the history of Beaver Dam and its namesake pepper.
We all had a great time and I bought two pounds of peppers, and decided to make cheddar pepper scones, as well as a pepper jelly to go with them (one of my favorite things!). I'll be honest, this is really an overnight recipe. But! Once you've done all the work, it's really just a quick egg wash and twenty minutes of baking and you're in business. A perfect Sunday morning treat.
Makes six large scones.
For pepper jelly:
1/4 cup, plus 2 tbsp water
1/4 cup, plus 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 large peppers (you can substitute poblano peppers if you don't have any Beaver Dam peppers)
1 pouch unflavored gelatin
For scones:
1/4 cup buttermilk, very cold
1 egg, plus 1 egg for egg wash
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and still warm
2 tsp olive oil or unsalted butter
2 large peppers (you can substitute poblano peppers for Beaver Dam peppers), chopped into 1/4-inch cubes
Sea salt, optional
Sterilize a 1 pint mason jar. (Here is an example of how to do this, if you've never done it before.)
In a food processor, combine the peppers and half of the vinegar. Process until the peppers are minced.
Add cold water to a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over the top and allow to set for one minute. Turn on heat to medium and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
Add the pepper mixture, remaining vinegar, and sugar to the gelatin mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, while stirring constantly.
Pour into sterilized jars, seal, and refrigerate overnight to set.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
In a glass measuring cup, add the egg and buttermilk and beat together. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
In a skillet, add the peppers and 2 tsp olive oil (butter may be substituted). Cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to drain and cool on a paper towel.
Melt the butter. Remove the buttermilk egg mixture from the freezer. It should be very cold, but not frozen. Mix the butter into the buttermilk with a fork. You will see the butter begin to seize up into little globs. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until it all comes together. Add the shredded cheddar and the peppers. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Pour the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice to make sure everything comes together. The mixture should still be very shaggy.
Form the mixture into an 8-inch circle. Cut the circle into 6 even wedges. Wrap each wedge in plastic wrap and refrigerate over night, but not longer than 48 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Remove each wedge from the plastic wrap, place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Beat one egg and brush the top of each wedge thoroughly. If you wish, you can sprinkle each with a bit of sea salt.
Bake for 17-20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Enjoy warm with a smear of pepper jelly!
And, if you know of any other festivals like this one, celebrating a local fruit or vegetable, that you think is worth a visit, please let me know. My tentative plan for Summer 2018 is to go on one massive road trip, festival hopping. And if you haven't checked out the Ark's catalog, you should. Maybe you're familiar with one of the items on the list. Maybe you're even doing your part already and growing one of them in your back yard. What a cool kid you would be!
Thanks for the memories, Beaver Dam!

Grandma Breckner's Dumplings and Gravy
Posted in dumplings, family, food, grandparents, gravy, history, interview, ohio, poland, recipes, vegetables	by Melisa Limanowski
I think the real highlight of this blog, for me, is the amazing ladies that I get to meet and work with. It gives me an excuse to shoot an email to someone and say, "Hey!" and then have a meet-up. I actually met Jennifer where it seems like everyone meets now: Instagram. I gave her a follow, she gave me a follow. We met for coffee and had a lovely time talking about food and family. Jennifer is a writer, educator, event producer and public speaker, focusing on good food, craft beer, art and culture, and combining her background in nonprofit management and art history with her passion for sustainable food systems.
For nearly a decade she has served as a Slow Food volunteer. If you're not aware of Slow Food, it is an organization that was founded in the 1980s by Carlo Petrini in Italy that promotes local food and traditional cooking. Their motto is, "Good, clean, and fair," meaning they believe people should have access to naturally produced, high-quality foods at a reasonable price. "The passionate writings of Slow Food founder Carlo Petrini made a connection between my two interests: food and art," says Jennifer. "I was hooked."
Her introduction to Slow Food came when she was an art history major studying Italian futurists. She started as the Chicago chapter leader who produced the Farm Roast, the annual fundraiser featuring biodiverse Ark of Taste dishes created by local chefs. The Ark of Taste, Slow Food's biodiversity initiative, is a catalog of delicious foods in danger of disappearing, that the organization highlights to keep in production and on our plates. Jennifer became the chair of the Midwest Ark of Taste Committee, working with regional volunteers who are passionate about agricultural biodiversity. "I love Slow Food because they advocate for joyful resistance and assert the importance of the cultural aspects of our foodways," she says.
Jennifer is now stepping into the role of International Councilor for Slow Food, and will serve as a U.S. rep advocating for good food policy at her first global summit in China this October. Her increasing interest in agricultural biodiversity, support for small-scale sustainable farmers and producers, and desire to contribute to nonprofit organizations has recently brought her to Chicago's venerable Green City Market Junior Board. Jennifer is also passionate about craft beer and serves as Lead Event Ambassador for Brooklyn Brewery in Chicago, where she conducts taste education workshops and promotes the brewery's portfolio at events around the city.
Jennifer grew up near Youngstown, Ohio, and her interest in food comes from her family. "I'm lucky that both sides produced good cooks—simple, working-class fare. I had many years of sitting down to family dinners at home or with extended family, or spaghetti dinners, pierogi and haluski, and potlucks at various churches."
She decided to share a recipe with me that she remembers her grandmother making for Sunday dinner, a meal that was an important part of her childhood. "After my parents divorced in the 1970s and my father moved back in with his parents for a couple of years," she says, "my grandmother insisted that we come on Sundays and sit down for dinner. She knew that in the chaos of a family post-breakdown that my brother Jeff, my sister Natalie, and I needed stability, unconditional love, and the comfort that only food and your grandmother could offer."
Her grandmother, Julia Henrietta Ryznar, grew up in Ohio, the daughter of Polish immigrants. "She had a tough life. Her mother suffered from mental illness and was institutionalized. Her father committed suicide," Jennifer told me. "She dropped out of school after the eighth grade because at the time education for women, especially poor immigrant women, was not a priority." Julia was married to Jennifer's grandfather, Andy, for over fifty years. "Given my grandmother's difficult and painful childhood one could understand if she ended up a bitter, sad person. Yet, she was happy and joyful. She lit up a room and you just loved being around her. She loved being a wife and a mother, but shortly before she passed away she offered that her only regret in life was that she never got a job in a 'dime store' so that she could have something of her own." That lesson had a major impact on Jennifer. "My own desire to both have my own projects and passions and find solace and comfort in my home and at the dinner table are directly affected by that."
Jennifer said her grandma would serve her dumplings and gravy with chicken paprikash and lemon-garlic broccoli. When Jennifer makes this dish, she has her own version of the chicken and her brother has a slightly different way of making her broccoli. "The most interesting thing to me now," she says, "is how we've all taken that basic recipe and added our own twist to it."
1/2 cup flour per egg (for example: 3 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of flour)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, or 1 tbsp dried
Note: If using less than three eggs, add 1/4 tsp of baking powder to the flour.
Put a pot on the stove with water and bring to a boil.
Add 1 tbsp of water to the egg and beat until fluffy.
Slowly add flour, parsley, and baking powder (if using less than 3 eggs). Gently mix until slightly sticky but consistent. Add 1 tbsp. of oil to the mixture.
Spoon approximately 1 tbsp. of flour mixture into the boiling water. (Note: Put your spoon in the water prior to putting in the flour mixture to avoid the flour sticking to the spoon.)
Boil for 15 minutes but keep an eye on them because you don't want to overcook. The dumplings will rise to the top. You can either pull them out individually or wait until all are done and put a cup of cold water into the pot then drain the dumplings into a strainer.
2 heaping tbsp sour cream
1 chicken bouillon cube or 1-2 cups of broth
Slowly mix the sour cream and flour together.
Add 1/2 cup of broth to the mixture and continue to stir.
Add this to the water and bring to a boil.
Lower heat and stir continuously until it thickens.
A delicious meal, made with simple ingredients. These are the recipes that I like to showcase on this blog. Not the flashiest or sexiest recipes, but those that elicit the happiest memories.
Jennifer agrees. She told me that when working at the Art Institute several years ago, Anthony Bourdain was visiting for a lunch and book signing. "Bourdain told the crowd that cuisine developed because of the contributions of poor people who often were given the leftovers of an animal or the least desirable produce and had to make something edible from it. He offered that if you are given the best cut of meat you need to do very little to make it taste delicious. His words meant a lot to me then for it was the first time that I understood the contributions of poor people to culinary life."
If you want to follow Jennifer, you can check out her website, or you can follow her (and Ark of Taste) on Facebook and Instagram. Just look for the handle @jenniferbreckner and @midwestarkoftaste.
Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing your grandmother's recipe and how it had such an impact on your life!

FLASHBACK: NPR, MSNBC, NY Times, parroted debunked claim about Border Patrol 'whipping' Haitian migrants – Fox News
April 19, 2022 198 views0
'America's Newsroom' co-hosts discuss the investigation and call on the Biden administration to issue apologies to the Border Patrol agents.
NPR journalist Maria Hinojosa claimed Sunday that U.S. Border Patrol agents had whipped Black Haitian migrants under the Biden administration, a media narrative that has since been debunked.
While discussing the administration's decision to end its use of the Title 42 public health order that allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the southern border, Hinojosa said it was important to "correct the narrative" around immigration decisions made under the current president.
"Joe Biden has had so many opportunities, horrific opportunities. Like when we saw Haitian black people being whipped by men on horses. That would have been his moment to stand in front of the horse and say this stops, never again. We're going to reform Border Patrol entirely, top to bottom," Hinojosa said, in a clip flagged by NewsBusters.
MEDIA PEDDLES NARRATIVE HORSEBACK BORDER PATROL AGENTS USING 'WHIPS' ON HAITIAN MIGRANTS IN DEL RIO
NPR did not respond to a request for comment.
Whether it be in the newsroom or on Twitter, she is far from the first member of the media to push this claim. Numerous personalities and reporters regurgitated the belief that Border Patrol had whipped migrants back in September 2021 in Del Rio, Texas. The agents have since been cleared in the investigation but have been on desk duty since the incident.
Border Patrol has confirmed that they do not carry whips and the objects in pictures of the incident were reins. The photographer of the images that initially sparked outrage also claimed he did not see any whipping occur.
On two separate occasions, MSNBC's Joy Reid claimed that Haitian migrants were whipped, likening the controversy to the times of slavery.
"Very quickly, I know funding for the government begins in the house. Should we be looking at the budget for Homeland Security? Because I was not aware that whips which come from the slave era, slavery era, were part of the package that we issue to any sort of law enforcement or government sanction personnel. Were you aware that was being issued to people, that people had that kind of equipment on them that they could use on humans?" Reid asked Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
Omar said she was not aware and that she was "quite appalled." She added that cruelty has been "embedded" in U.S. immigration policy for years, and that the alleged whipping was "obviously systemic racism at play."

In a separate interview with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Reid compared the alleged whippings to the Fugitive Slave Act, an analogy that the MSNBC host has floated on more than one occasion. She also spoke out against the incident on Twitter.
"This is beyond repulsive. Are these images from 2021 or 1851?" she said at the time.
It appeared that a September 19 viral report from the El Paso Times was the impetus for the narrative regurgitated by liberal media outlets.
"The agent swung his whip menacingly, charging his horse toward the men in the river who were trying to return to an encampment under the international bridge in Del Rio after buying food and water in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. One migrant fell as he tried to dodge, others shielded their heads with their hands," the report said in part.
The excerpt was shared by reporter Yamiche Alcindor, who also got into a heated discussion with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the controversy.
"This is absolutely horrifying. Like something out of the 19th century," The Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer tweeted. "I don't know about anyone else but I wasn't aware border patrol agents were authorized to use whips on human beings."
MIGRANT ENCOUNTERS IN MARCH TOPPED 221,000, HIGHEST NUMBER SINCE BIDEN TOOK OFFICE
"Wait… cracking whips?" Associated Press reporter Jim Vertuno asked.
"My God," Sunny Hostin from "The View" reacted.
The Times story was additionally shared by MSNBC host Chris Hayes, Business Insider reporter Eliza Relman and The Week correspondent Ryan Cooper.
"US Border Agents Are Removing Haitian Migrants Using Horses and Whips," said the headline of a Vice News story.

A few outlets issued corrections a few days later; however the vast majority did not.
Critics ripped into Axios after the outlet deleted a tweet referring to Border Patrol agents as "whipping at" Haitian migrants attempting to cross from Mexico into the U.S. They addressed their decision in a later tweet.
The New York Times also updated a report to read, "Images of Border Patrol agents on horseback waving their reins while pushing migrants back…"
"An earlier version … overstated what is known about the behavior of some Border Patrol agents on horseback. While the agents waved their reins while pushing migrants back into the Rio Grande, The Times has not seen conclusive evidence that migrants were struck with the reins," the correction at the bottom of the piece read in September 201.
The Washington Post, NBC, AP, USA Today, Snopes, and more all failed to address the debunked claim with fact-checks.
A number of Democrats and those within the Biden administration also pushed the debunked claim that the reins had been used as whips. President Biden even asserted that the agents would "pay" for their treatment of the migrants.

What's in a name, right? Believe it or not, this ironically named fish is actually one of the tastiest critters that swim in Lake of the Woods!
Crappie anglers arm themselves with a combination of light rods and reels, and light terminal tackle; many days, it takes the tiniest of micro baits to entice a crappie to hit. Once hooked, crappie put up a spirited fight all the way to the boat.
Crappie are found in the deepest holes through winter and into the open water season. Spring is a time of transition for the crappie, and as the longer days start warming the water in shallow bays, crappie will begin to migrate toward the shallower water to start staging for the spawn.
Successful spawning can occur in the shallow waters when the temperatures are between 62-67 degrees. Since they are open year-round, many of Meline's guests take advantage of the early spring weather, and target crappie as the first chance to fish from a boat in the season… and let's not forget about the first crappie shore lunch of the year! It sure does shake out those winter cobwebs!
We filmed an awesome ice fishing show with Babe Winkelman for Perch and Crappie which aired in 2010. If you would like to see the show, please let us know and we will send you a DVD copy.

Allegations of Child Pornography Serious in Texas
Category: Illegal Pornography | Sex Crimes
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) maintains a staff of 50 people in its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in offices in four states (Texas, Florida, California, and New York) that receive tips and collect images provided by social media sites about child pornography. This information is referred to local law enforcement agencies whose Internet Crimes Against Children Units (ICACU) open prompt investigations—sometimes jointly carried out by local, state, and federal authorities. These investigations generally lead to the identification of suspects, issuance of subpoenas and search warrants, and eventual discovery of child pornography on electronic devices.
NCMEC's work leads to a surprisingly wide array of individual suspects. For example, a tip from NCMEC led to the arrest this past January by the Texas Department of Public Safety of a 17-year-old teenager in Angelina County; and to the arrest last month of a six-year veteran police officer with the Houston Police Department.
These kinds of child pornography cases are often prosecuted at the state level and, more often than not, result in a stiff prison sentence. For example, the 10-year sentence imposed last month on a former Harris County Sheriff's Department officer who was arrested in 2018 on four counts of possession of child pornography charges.
Texas Offenses
Texas Penal Code Section 43.26 defines child pornography as "visual material that visually depicts a child younger than 18 years of age at the time the image of the child was made who is engaging in sexual conduct." Texas Penal Code Section 43.25 defines sexual conduct as "sexual contact, actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sado-masochistic abuse, or lewd exhibition of the genitals, the anus, or any porton of the female breast below the top of the areola."
There are four types of child pornography offenses in Texas: possession, receipt, production, and distribution/promotion of child pornography. Possession means having "actual care, custody, control or management" of visual material defined in Section 43.26 while "receipt" is defined as the acquisition or accessing by any means.
Production of child pornography, on the other hand, is defined by Texas Penal Code Section 21.15, which makes it illegal to videotape, photography, broadcast, transmit or record any visual image of a child without the child's consent. This material must have the intent to sexually gratify or arouse another person.
Distribution or promotion of child pornography quite simply means the sending, selling, marketing or otherwise distributing Section 43.26 material to others. It does not matter whether any money or other payments are exchanged for the material. For example, the simple sharing of Section 43.26 material is considered distribution or promotion of that material.
The penalties for child pornography offenses are quite serious under Texas law.
Under Texas ' sentencing scheme, possession, receipt, or promotion of child pornography is considered a third-degree felony. If the defendant has one or more convictions for either offense or the victim in a promotion case is under 14 years of age, then the offense level is raised to a first-degree felony. Distribution of child pornography is a second-degree felony unless the child victim is under 13 years of age, which increases the offense level to a first-degree felony. The penalties for these three levels of felonies are:
Third-degree felony: 2 to 10 years in prison with a fine of up to $10,000
Second-degree felony: 2 to 20 years in prison with a fine of up to $10,000
Third-degree felony: 5 to 99 years with a fine of up to $10,000
Child pornography is a crime that carries many consequences: loss of job/career, community shame and isolation, and breakup of family relationships; prison terms that range from 2 to 99 years (and life under certain circumstances) in a state prison system; possible civil commitment upon completion of the prison term; and lifetime sex offender registration.
Our measured advice is that anyone charged with a child pornography offense, or any sex offense, should exercise their right to remain silent and request a lawyer immediately when contacted by law enforcement. These are very complicated and serious cases, and an attempt to talk one's way through a police investigation can be disastrous.
