Gutter Mage by J.S. Kelley
Posted on September 30, 2021 by Justin Bowers - Book Review
Rosalind Featherstone is a badass. Yeah, she might not always make the best decisions; she's a little impulsive, and she probably drinks too much, but, nonetheless, Roz is a badass. When we first meet her at The Skinned Cat — one of the few taverns she is still welcome in — Roz manages to get in a bit of a knock-down, drag-out scuffle whilst waiting for her partner, the humongous Lysander Tunning.
Lysander has lined up a cherry of a job for him and Roz: rescuing the kidnapped infant of the highly respected Lord Edmund which was kidnapped by the relatively new and notorious Alath Mages Guild.
That's how this marvelous tale kicks off. From there we drop right into hardboiled noir, magic, spirits, deception and a little bit of sexy time. J.S. Kelley has absolutely nailed the banter between our two primary protagonists. Roz and Lye and old friends and the relationship is just so beautifully executed. In fantasy fiction such as this, you usually expect the big lunk to be the hot-headed one, but it is just absolutely refreshing for Lye to be the voice of reason while Roz will pretty much take on anything regardless of risk. That being said, though, Roz has a real intuitive noggin on her shoulders. The mystery aspect of Gutter Mage is what really sets it apart from much of the fantasy fiction that is out there. I would think I had a certain twist sorted, and be absolutely wrong: an incredibly enjoyable feeling when navigating a new book.
Rolling this all up in Roz's semi-mysterious history is just the icing on the cake. J.S. Kelley definitely has some serious talent at character development, and the worldbuilding in Gutter Mage is also incredibly top notch. Do yourself a favor and put this one in your TBR stack. I honestly can't think of a more enjoyable mystery novel that I have read in the past year. I feel like a night out drinking with Roz would lead to some serious mirth.
I do hope that this is not the last that we see of this world. I feel like there were enough unanswered questions to warrant another book (or ten), and, honestly, I just can't wait for more.

The Atlas Six (The Atlas, #1) by Olivie Blake
Posted on August 4, 2021 by Justin Bowers - Book Review
Holy crap, I really didn't expect a read like this one. The premise was very intriguing and right up my alley, so I decided to take the dive.
The Alexandrian Society, a secretive group tasked with maintaining the lost/forgotten knowledge of previous civilizations, and library to the most powerful magicians in the world, have an annual initiation where they bring in six of the most talented magicians from all over the planet to act as custodians for the library while they learn and grow.
At the end of the period of time of this caretaking, one initiate will be eliminated and five will go on to be full members of the Society.
Magic, competition, ego, intrigue? I'm all in.
Then it gets really damn interesting. The first candidates we meet are Elizabeth "Libby" Rhodes and Nicolàs "Nico" de Varona. This unique pair attends New York University of Magical Arts together, and are the fiercest of rivals. To say that they snipe at each other constantly is and understatement. When both are selected by Atlas Blakely to take part in the initiation, that kicks things up another notch. At this point, I knew I was in for a serious ride.
Next, Atlas selects Reina Mori, Parissa Kamali, Tristan Caine, and Callum Nova. Much like Libby and Nico, each is a magician of extreme talent. Unlike Libby and Nico, this three have been away from academia and are very secretive about their skills and abilities.
As the story unfolds we learn a hell of a lot more about each of the characters, the mission of The Society, its enemies and shortcomings. Each of the initiates gets more and more wrapped up in what their time at The Society means to them and to their group as a whole.
Let's just say things get incredibly mental.
I honestly can't go more into it without giving away anything. I will say that I read the last two chapters three times to fully wrap my head around what happened. Yeah, it's one of those books.
To call Ms. Blake an artist is understating things. The Atlas Six draws you in and wraps you up in such a web of personality and intrigue. It is a true gem of world-building without even really having to build a world. The setting is very uniform, but the landscape and setting for this novel is really the characters themselves, and, boy howdy, there is such a rich variety of terrain. This is definitely one of those stories where I basically got knocked on my ass and had to sit there for a while re-assessing how I think about literary characters.
It's just so hard to describe how this book affects its readers, but it will definitely affect you. I've read some amazing things this Summer, but I think I'm definitely going to have to crown The Atlas Six as my "don't miss it" for Summer 2021.

City of Iron and Dust by J.P. Oakes
Posted on July 9, 2021 by Justin Bowers - Book Review
There is something about approaching a debut novel by an author that is very awe-inspiring to me. It may sound incredibly hokey, but I feel like it is akin to unwrapping a writer for the very first time, and seeing what their wonder and peculiarities are, and, by the time I make it partially through the book, see how this fledgling will fare.
To follow further into this horrible metaphor, when I approached Mr. Oakes' "nest" of City of Iron and Dust, he shot out of the nest, circled me a few times and then promptly took a few dive-bombs at me in the first handful of pages.
Our intrepid journey begins with a prologue explaining how the world was all magic, happiness, and light amongst the fae folk until the goblins came streaming down from the North headed up by the terrible Mab. Using her horrible magic, Mab destroyed the fae forest cities, and, in their place, the goblins created great cities of iron, steel, and glass: subjugating the fae until they withered under the oppression.
For the years after, the goblins ruled, and the fae became the downtrodden grist for the mill. Five great Goblin Houses arose, and with each, a tower. The current-day portion of the story, however, kicks off with a mysterious penthouse/charnel house and an even more mysterious package of white powder.
From the prologue we begin to see how this story is going to unfold. Like all good adventures, this story kicks off in a bar. A working-class fae dive, to be exact. Three goblins enter the picture. These goblins should not be in this bar, let alone the entire neighborhood, but the ringleader, Jag, heir to House Red Cap, is trying to make a point to her half-goblin/half-sister, Sil, who also happens to be Jag's bodyguard. Also accompanying is Bazzack, but he is hardly important.
Also in this bar are two other very important characters to this story, Knull and Edwyll, though neither knows the other is there (this becomes important later).
This all sets the scene, and when that scene blows up (and it blows up spectacularly), this wave of destruction fans out throughout the Iron City and fae society. Some of it is related, some of it pure coincidence. Either way, the story gets very spicy very quickly. Let's just say that fae insurrection, a whole lot of magical drug, and even more Goblin House posturing and politicking makes for an incredibly interesting read.
What I love most about City of Iron and Dust is all of the big things it hits on that are so familiar in my years of consuming popular culture, literature and film. The entire setup — as well as most of the story — just reeks of a massive Shadowrun campaign (someone should seriously write one). I was also often reminded of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, certain aspects of Terry Gilliam's Brazil, a dash of Manchurian Candidate, and you just can't avoid the giant Akira's Tetsuo moment near the end.
What held me in the story was the structure of how it was written, and the visceral meat of the political and class intrigue. The reader really does get to see all facets of this highly oppressive society, and where there is a lot of unexplained "mixing" and counter-ideologies that seem to sprout from no logical place. There is compassion where the nature of that character would not dictate it, and there is cruelty that seems to sprout from all the wrong reasons.
One thing I really loved about this novel, which, oddly, has annoyed me with others, is Mr. Oakes' style of heading up each section with the name of the character from whom the point of view is presented. In many scenes, this allowed me to consider the change in perspective when several of the characters might be experiencing the same scene, and maybe even be in the same room.
The other thing I rather enjoyed is the pacing. City of Iron and Dust is very fast-paced, but it does not feel rushed. Mr. Oakes takes the time to fully develop each interaction, and, as such, the reader is able to develop a very well-defined view of what might be going on in the many scenes of total chaos. The incredibly puzzle-piece fit of the dialogue also helps immensely with this.
Don't even get me started on the conflict choreography and styling. It's an utter masterpiece.
City of Iron and Dust has so many themes that would appeal to a hugely wide variety of potential readers. If you like high magic/fantasy, that box is checked. If you like political intrigue, that box is also checked. If you like crime, drug, or class war stories, all of those boxes are checked. Finally, if you like stories of perseverance and truly believing in what you fight for (good or bad), that box has a big ol' check.
Kudos to Mr. Oakes for putting this one out there. I really hope this is a world that we get to revisit in the future. I can't wait to see what comes next.

The Mask Falling (The Bone Season #4) by Samantha Shannon
Posted on June 30, 2021 by Justin Bowers - Book Review
Eight years ago I picked up this book with book with one of the most interesting premises I'd run across: a criminal who steals thoughts and information from peoples' minds, and operates under an oppressive regime where people with her sorts of gifts are imprisoned and executed.
Little did I know that this was just the tip of the iceberg for young Paige Mahoney. Over the next few years, books 2 and 3 were released with the tale of Paige's exploits growing exponentially. After book 2, I was really convinced that Ms. Shannon didn't like Paige very much, and book 3 pretty much cemented that.
Then came the gap. Paige Mahoney had just gotten out of an absolute horror of a situation, and book 4 was just "coming soon."
Boy was the wait worth it. The Mask Falling opens with Paige and Arcturus (Warden), escaping England and ending up in a safe house in the Scion Citadel of Paris. Paige is in really rough shape, but has been taken in by the mysterious Domino Program; who want to use her abilities and skills to help subvert Scion control. While she has been told to stay put and heal, Paige also wants to leverage her position of Underqueen to gain audience with the Court of Miracles — the voyant syndicate of France — to continue her own flavor of assault on Scion, and, hopefully, learn the fates of many of her friends.
This one is a real rollercoaster, but I often found myself giving Paige the ol' "What the hell are you doing?!?!?!?"
Paige's stubbornness is definitely her biggest weakness. Sure, her bond with Arcturus definitely affects her judgement sometimes, but it is Paige's unwillingness to accept compromise that really seems to put her in all the pickles in The Mask Falling. Especially when things get wacky, and, boy howdy, they get wacky.
One thing about this series that I greatly appreciate is Ms. Shannon's boldness in worldbuilding. The Scion Citadel of Paris is absolutely nothing like the Scion Citadel of London, yet she could have used the uniformity of Scion to make them far similar. Details like this, and her amazing obsession with tweaking language (definitely read the afterword about how she tweaked Scion French) show a masterful attention to what makes each location, and subsequently culture, unique.
I dearly hope we don't have to wait too long for book 5.

The Last Shimmer by Sage Hyatt (Ryan Hyatt, ed.)
Posted on May 12, 2021 by Justin Bowers - Book Review
Short fiction, like a well-executed amuse-bouche, is very hard to pull off satisfyingly. Due to the nature of the back-lying mechanics of it, there is just so much opportunity to lean on one pillar of the story structure while not paying enough attention to one of the others.
Miss Hyatt understands this. The Last Shimmer balances a very well-developed storyline along with fully formed characters and a richly described setting in a way that is downright envious.
Without giving too much of it away, The Last Shimmer is the story of Tiger Lily Dander, her friend Stacy and the fanciful supposition of:
What if our shadows turned on us?
It works, it really really does, and, like I said before, Miss Hyatt develops a situation and a group of characters that work incredibly well for this piece.
This is twenty-seven pages of wonderful middle-grade horror with an absolute bow on top. Sure, it is not my normal fare, but I'm very much reconsidering the role of short fiction as a sort of palate cleanser between bigger works. I definitely needed this, and I really think all of you will enjoy it as well.

Marshall M. Parks Lecture
The Marshall M. Parks Lecture
The Marshall M. Parks Lecture is sponsored by the Costenbader Society to honor the contributions of a remarkable man. As one of the founding fathers of the subspecialty of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, Dr. Parks has nurtured and directed the course of this subspecialty, while enabling scores of students to stand on his shoulders to view the future of pediatric ophthalmology.
Among his numerous organizational accomplishments, several of fundamental significance include: President of the American Academy of Ophthalmology; Chairman of the American Board of Ophthalmology; President of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology; Founder and first President of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus; and the Founder and Chairman of the National Children's Eye Care Foundation. His generosity of spirit and wisdom has profoundly contributed to the well being of countless patients and professional lives. He has been honored with the American Ophthalmological Society's Howe Medal, induction into the Knights of St. John of Malta, and selection as one of the ten most influential ophthalmologists of the twentieth century. Such honors attest to the national and international magnitude of his many contributions.
The extent and influence of his contributions to the literature is apparent in reading Dr. Parks' work for the original description of foundational knowledge of pediatric ophthalmology. Within pediatric ophthalmology, Dr. Parks' years of clinical experience, expertise as an educator, and boundless energy remain unparalleled. His passion is apparent as he ignites flames in others who have had the opportunity to observe him in his tireless dedication. That thousands of residents and practitioners and more than 130 fellows have benefited from his training is testament to his dedication to teaching. It is impossible to imagine the world of pediatric ophthalmology without his seminal contributions regarding sensory adaptations to strabismus, the monofixation syndrome, diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia, the benefits of early strabismus surgery, management of infantile cataracts, the three step test for cyclovertical strabismus, gradable oblique muscle surgery, mechanisms of restrictive syndromes, innovative surgical techniques for strabismus, cataracts and glaucoma, and the books and scientific articles that have guided so many to provide optimal care for children. The Marshall M. Parks Lecture is presented annually at the Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.

The Doctor Who Mind Robber
The ultimate Doctor Who marathon – 50 years in 50 weeks
About the Doctor Who Mind Robber
The Daleks' 50th Birthday Party
Posted on July 22, 2013 by twistie1
With all the hype surrounding Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary on 23rd November, the 50th birthday of the Doctor's oldest and most deadliest foe, the Daleks, looked like it may well have been forgotten. Born on the screens of the United Kingdom's 405 line black and white TV sets on 21st December 1963, the Daleks have appeared in over 30 Doctor Who serials, together with a number of cameos and flashbacks. They have battled against 10 of the Doctor's 11 incarnations and have been killed and resurrected more times than Rory Williams!
Barbara is pinned against the wall in fear during the Daleks' first appearance in Doctor Who on 21st December 1963
The BBC has today announced that the Daleks will appear in the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special, together with the shape shifting Zygons who will make only their second appearance – 38 years after their first. Details of the nature of the Daleks battle with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, together with John Hurt, a hitherto unknown incarnation, have yet to be revealed. Let's hope it's as memorable as the closing shot of 1963's The Dead Planet where companion Barbara Wright is pinned in fear against wall. Barbara's screams indicated the presence of a terrifying foe, although for the next seven days the audience could only but imagine what the strange rubber object on the end of a metal rod was. The Daleks were born and there was no looking back. Without the Dalekmania which followed their first story, it's unlikely that Doctor Who would have celebrated its first birthday, let alone its 50th. Long live the Daleks and may we look forward to another 50 years of terror!
The BBC today released this photograph of the Daleks from the 50th Anniversary special which is to be aired on 23rd November 2013

I love that you posted the 1963 photo of Barbara and the first shot of a Dalek… ever. That photo was the inspiration for one of my illustrations at design school : )

Thanks for your comments, Anna. The photo of Barbara is certainly very iconic. Have you posted your design school illustration on your blog? I'd love to see it!

The Daleks are definitely one of the more memorable and terrifying villains, in my opinion. Whenever they appear, you know how ruthless and distructive they can be. It'll be great to see them again in the anniversary episode! Thanks for the informative post.
twistie1 on July 23, 2013 at 5:36 pm said:
Thanks for your comment. I'm looking forward to seeing the Daleks in the Anniversary special as well. The ones pictured in the new photo are an older style and it's been suggested that it may be a flashback to the Time War. Only time will tell!

While it's undeniable that the Daleks represent an iconic Doctor Who villain, IMO they've really been overused in the new series. "Dalek" was a pretty great way to re-introduce them, but the quality of the stories with the Daleks has dropped rather dramatically since then. The "Doomsday" arc was fun because it delivered (if a bit cheesily) on the long-awaited grudge match between Cybermen and Daleks. On the other hand, the "Daleks in Manhattan" stories and "The Stolen Earth" weren't terribly good. The whole pig-men thing was just embarrassing and let's not forget they tried the whole "human factor" thing already back in "The Evil of the Daleks." And "The Stolen Earth/Journey's End" represented some of the worst of Davies's excesses–I was literally cringing when I watched the TARDIS "tractoring" Earth back to its position as Sol 3.
As you stated above, they've been annihilated so many times in the series and then somehow an unknown splinter group or reserve force or whatever they're calling it this week turns up (or suddenly there are Daleks from an alternate universe or branching timeline) that it's rather pathetic.
twistie1 on July 25, 2013 at 3:03 am said:
Thanks for your thoughtful comment Warren. I think you're entirely correct in respect of the Daleks' overuse in the new series. The Daleks were used a lot more sparingly in the Classic Series. While they were thrashed during the First Doctor's tenure and suffered perhaps their greatest flop in the comic "The Chase", they went on a five year hiatus from 1967's "Evil of the Daleks" until 1972's "Day of the Daleks". Perhaps another extended break might be warranted after the 50th special, however they'll never disappear entirely. For one thing, their merchandising appeal is too great for the BBC to allow them to fade away.

Tampa Bay Rowdies Revealed As 2019 USL Experience Host
By USLChampionship.com Staff, 11/16/18, 3:01PM EST
Elite player program to feature multi-day professional environment at Al Lang Stadium
TAMPA, Fla. - Ahead of the Super Y League's 21st year of operations, the league has announced that the highly-anticipated fourth USL Experience will be hosted by the Tampa Bay Rowdies in April 2019.
Preceded by hosts FC Cincinnati, San Antonio FC and Phoenix Rising FC, the USL Experience comes to Tampa Bay to offer an elite multi-day residential event to introduce SYL's top young players to the rigors of a professional soccer environment.
"We're looking forward to bringing the USL Experience to the Tampa Bay region in 2019," Rowdies Chief Operating Officer Lee Cohen said. "The level of youth soccer around Tampa Bay and throughout the country continues to rise and we're excited to bring these prospects into our professional environment to show them what they're striving for. With the USL office based in our backyard and the two brands working together, it will be a valuable learning experience for everyone involved and we're grateful for the opportunity."
72 of the nation's top youth talents will be selected to take part in the exciting experience, which is tabbed to take place in early April 2019. Players will receive invitations in January ahead of the event.
The USL Experience provides additional educational programming, such as workshops and presentations, a stadium and facility tour, access to Tampa Bay Rowdies players and staff, competitive training, match play and much more. They will also have meals, lodging and training gear provided at no cost.
"The Rowdies have a very exciting future," said USL President Jake Edwards. "There is new ownership in place, and a very professional atmosphere. As such, Super Y League's young talents will benefit greatly from this opportunity and I fully anticipate a superb event in our fourth year running USL Experience."
The Rowdies have competed in the USL Championship since 2017, and reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals of the USL Cup Playoffs during their first season in the league. The club is one of the most renowned in North American soccer, with Tampa Bay's soccer origins in the United States dating back to 1975.

Individual and community perceptions of climate change in Lower Mustang, Nepal
Upendra Bom, John Tiefenbacher, Shashidhar Belbase
Department of Curriculum&Method of Instruct
Human perceptions and concerns about the implications of climate change have a profound importance for adaptation to and mitigation of the impacts of climate change at various scales and in different economic and social sectors in a given geographical landscape. Although studies on public perceptions of climate change are increasing globally, they are still scant pertaining to the Himalayan region of Nepal. In order to fill this gap, this study aimed to understand individual and community perceptions of climate change in the Lower Mustang region of Nepal, where apple farming and agricultural activities have been significantly impacted by climate change over the last 30–40 years. The data collection for the study included a cross-sectional survey of 200 farmers with a structured questionnaire, seven focus group discussions, and 26 key informant interviews, which were administered in four rural municipalities: Kagbeni, Jomsom, Marpha, and Tukuche. Results of the study indicated that a majority of the participants experienced an increase in temperature with warmer summers (99% of the participants surveyed), a decrease in snowfall (100%), and variable rainfall patterns (87%). However, the warming climate-enhanced diversification of vegetables in Lower Mustang, and the changes in climatic patterns over the years have affected almost all the agricultural systems of the region. In particular, apple farming in lower elevations has been negatively impacted due to decreasing snowfall, necessitating an urgent attention to develop sustainable adaptation strategies in order to minimize the deleterious impacts of the changing climatic patterns.

Wisseloord Studios adds Audient ID44 to its writing room
|By Colby Ramsey
One of The Netherlands' most renowned recording facilities, Wisseloord Studios, recently installed an Audient iD44 audio interface in its writing room.
Described on the website as "a place to be inspired by its rich musical history," this studio just outside Amsterdam has welcomed a number of greats through its doors, including Elton John, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Tina Turner, U2 and Snoop Dogg.
"Wisseloord's reputation as one of The Netherlands' best studio facilities is known worldwide, so when they contacted us about adding an iD44 audio interface to their new writing room we were very excited to be involved in the project," said Audient's marketing director, Andy Allen. "It brings us great pride knowing that the calibre of artists that will inevitably pass through the writing room will be writing and recording their next hits using an Audient interface."
Supplied by local distributor Pro Media Connect, the 20in/24out Audient iD44 audio interface was recently joined by its little brother, iD22 for Wisseloord Studios' newest songwriting room.
Comprising three studios and two mastering rooms, as well as a number of different, smaller writing rooms, the facility was originally opened by Prince Claus in 1978, having been founded by electronics company Philips as a space to record their PolyGram artists. Today, it boasts "advanced technology and aesthetic that will take it into the future," according to the website, whilst simultaneously retaining its "relaxed atmosphere and the vintage vibe."

Vaccines in Low-Income Countries: Reasons and Remedies for their Stunted Performance
Vaccines against deadly and debilitating diseases are less effective in low-income countries than in industrialized countries. Doctors started noticing in the 1960s that fewer children developed protective antibodies after getting the oral polio vaccine in Asia and Africa than in North America and Europe. In India, poor vaccine efficiency, along with sanitation issues and overcrowding, stymied efforts to eradicate polio.
It is now clear that the problem of poor vaccine efficiency does not end with polio eradication. It also affects oral vaccines for rotavirus, cholera and shigella. The Rotateq rotavirus vaccine protects 98 to 100 percent of babies in Finland and the United States from severe diarrhea, but only 40 to 60 percent of babies in Bangladesh, Kenya and Vietnam.
Carina Storrs explores the factors that could be causing poor vaccine efficiency and interventions to improve it. One possible culprit is environmental enteropathy, a common condition in areas with poor sanitation that affects absorption and immune function in the gut.
Trials are underway at several sites, including outside of Dhaka, Bangladesh, to evaluate whether programs that provide soap and clean water could reduce environmental enteropathy. These interventions are probably impractical on a large-scale, however. Other studies are testing less intensive solutions such as probiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Environmental enteropathy has also been insinuated in stunted growth and delays in cognitive development. Interventions that reduce enteropathy have the potential not only to improve vaccine performance but also to lessen the burden of these other poor health outcomes.

Q: Will GCM based server and Firebase client (iOS) work? I have a situation where the server is Google Cloud Messaging based and iOS client code is using Firebase Cloud Messaging SDK. Will the server be able to send the notifications to client?

A: Should work without problems. The server will use the old GCM URLs, but those are compatible with FCM. That's really the only thing server-side that would not specifically be FCM.
I have an FCM-based Android client and a GCM-based server, and it's working well.

Q: Default selected value with MvcContrib.FluentHtml select list I have defined the following select list:
<%= this.Select("Scope")
        .Options(Scopes.AllValues) // static property to get all possible values
        .FirstOption("Select scope")
        .Class("required")
        .Selected(Model.Scope) %>

where Scope is an enum defined like this:
public enum Scope
{
    Full,
    Partial
}

I'm using this on a user control which renders all the form elements for a create/edit form, so I want this to work both when there is an underlying model and when the model is just an empty editmodel with no properties set. However, as Scope is a struct, it is initialized to the default value (which is the first defined enum value, Full) when the edit model is instantiated. Thus, the Select value option is never selected.
I know that Model.ID == 0 for new objects, and that Model.ID != 0 for existing objects, so I could use that to determine what should be shown. However, if I do
.Selected(Model.ID != 0 ? Model.Scope : null) // how do I indicate the first item?

I get a compiler error because there is no conversion between null and Scope (since Scope is a struct).
How should I accomplish this?

A: I solved this: Using the overload .FirstOption(string value, string text) I could assign a value to the first option, and then use that as the fallback if the scope wasn't set.

Q: Add cookie / no-repeat function to random page refresh I have been using this java code to call a random html page from a list of 49 on a set timer (or upon page refresh). I would like to convert it so that a cookie - or something else - saves the pages that have already been shown so that upon refresh the user always receives a new page, until the list is finished, at which point the cookie is emptied/deleted.

A: It looks like you're using jQuery so I'll recommend using a jquery plugin for managing cookies much more neatly.
Copy & paste the contents of this URL to a new js file on your server and include it after the jquery file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie/master/jquery.cookie.js
Or you could possibly use the get/set cookie functions from the other answer you mention.
The main thing to remember is that the cookie is stored as a string so you'll be join()ing and split()ing the array.
The other thing to note is that because we want a random item from the items we haven't visited yet it's more efficient to keep track of those rather than the ones we have visited.
What this means is we always choose a random item from what's left instead of looping over everything and checking each time if we've been there already as that would get very inefficient.
var sites = [ 'name1.html', 'name2.html', 'name3.html', ...etc... ],
    unvisited = sites.slice(0); // .slice(0) clones the array

// if the cookie has a value then make it into the unvisited array
if ( $.cookie( 'unvisited' ) )
    unvisited = $.cookie( 'unvisited' ).split( ',' );

$(document).ready(function() {
    newPage();
});

function newPage() {
    setTimeout( newPage, 60000 );

    // check if the unvisited array needs resetting
    if ( unvisited.length == 0 ) {
        unvisited = sites.slice(0);
        $.removeCookie( 'unvisited' );
    }

    // get a new index from the unvisited array
    var num = Math.floor( Math.random() * unvisited.length );

    // remove the item from the array and save the cookie
    var site = unvisited.splice( num, 1 )[ 0 ];

    // save the unvisited array minus the site we just spliced out
    $.cookie( 'unvisited', unvisited.join( ',' ) );

    $( '#target' ).attr( 'src', site );
}

A: var numSites = 49;
var seen = new Array(numSites);

$(document).ready(function() {
    var cookie = unescape(getCookie("seen"));
    seen = cookie ? cookie.split(',') : seen;
    setTimeout(gotoNext, 60000);
});

function gotoNext() {
    var num = getRandom();
    var count = 0;
    while (seen[num] == 1) {
        num++;
        if (num >= numSites) {
            num = 0;
            count++;
            if (count > 1) {
                resetSeen();
                num = getRandom();
            }
        }
    }
    seen[num] = 1;
    setCookie("seen", escape(seen.join(',')), 365);
    window.location = "name" + num + ".html";
}

function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
        var c = ca[i].trim();
        if (c.indexOf(name)==0) return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
    }
    return "";
}

function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
    var d = new Date();
    d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
    var expires = "expires=" + d.toGMTString();
    document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + "; " + expires;
}

function resetSeen() {
    for (var i=0; i<numSites; i++) {
        seen[i] = "";
    }
}

function getRandom() {
    return Math.ceil(Math.random() * numSites);

In the XML Form document the XML window opens next to the new sidebar.
To reproduce, create new XML Form document, or open existing one.
Activate Form design toolbar in View>Toolbars.
Click on XML (Data navigator) - the navigator window opens next to the sidebar.
Best solution is integrate XML(Data navigator) into sidebar.
If I close the Properties, by clicking on X the XML (data navigator) jump into sidebar frame, and shows up below the other sidebar items.
> into sidebar frame, and shows up below the other sidebar items.
This looks like a second issue.
A third one: in my build from trunk, the sidebar shows an empty Property panel. As an XML form is a text document, when the cursor is on the document text it should display the text properties panel.
@r4zoli: can you confirm this one in the build from the build bot?
> text it should display the text properties panel.
> @r4zoli: can you confirm this one in the build from the build bot?
Yes, I can confirm it in nightly build. No property panel.
I tested in today's version. 2013.04.14.
This looks like part of a more generic problem: a database form and an old text report show the same behavior. Didn't try with the ReportBuilder (I guess the sidebar does not work there).
I run report builder reports, no problems with sidebar, The property is Ok, in this case.
this might be because the report, once run, generates a usual Writer/Calc document.
I opened bug 122056 for XML/db forms and db reports.
The sidebar not working in reportdesign, design mode.
The sidebar now supports more Writer variants (regular, Web, XML, Forms, Global document).
122051: Sidebar handles more Writer variants.
> Activate Form design toolbar in View>Toolbars.
> Best solution is integrate XML(Data navigator) into sidebar.
@Andre: bug 122056 is not duplicate of this one, this one depends on it.
This bug is about adding the "Data Navigator", now a docking window of its own, as part of the sidebar, just like it was done with the Navigator and the Stylist.
revision 1470918 added the sidebar to the Writer-based XML forms documents, as part of fixing bug 122056, but this bug was not handled.
From the user perspective, if the "Data Navigator" is going to be added to the sidebar, it might be useful to allow also the "Data Navigator" as a docking window: a user with a wide screen might want to have both, the "Data Navigator" docked and the sidebar docked with the properties panel.
The original bug not solved.
