Q: issues with dynamically creating a file upload control I am trying to create a file upload control dynamically for updating word documents. I have the following code in my aspx page.
  <asp:GridView ID="gvDetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="FilePath" EmptyDataText="No documents attached" >

I have the following code in my .cs page.
   protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; i++)
        {
            HttpPostedFile PostedFile = Request.Files[i];
            if (PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                string FileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(PostedFile.FileName);
                PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Files/") + FileName);
            }
        }
    }

And my script is :

But Somehow this code is not working. I don't have much idea of file upload control. Please help me with it. Should I use an Update panel ?

Black Security Guard Fired for Repeating the N-Word When Telling a Student Not to Call Him It to Get His Job Back
FILE - In this Oct. 17, 2019, file photo, Marlon Anderson poses for a photo in Madison, Wis. A Wisconsin school district is rehiring Anderson, a security guard after he was fired last week for repeating a racial slur while telling a student not to use it, a union official said Monday, Oct. 21. (Steve Apps/Wisconsin State Journal via AP)
Steve Apps—AP
By Madeleine Carlisle
Marlon Anderson, a high school security guard in Madison, Wis., who was fired for using the n-word when telling a student not to use it, will get his job back.
"I'm back!" Anderson posted on Facebook Monday evening. "While at work today at Boys & Girls Clubs, I learned from the Madison Teachers Union President that School Supt. Jane Belmore has rescinded the decision of my termination… Thank you to the 1,000 plus students for allowing your voices to be heard and to all the people from across the globe for reaching out to my family… Now we have to address the policy!"
A statement from the Madison Teacher Inc. (MTI), the union that represents teachers and other district employees, said in a statement that Anderson "will be returned to pay status immediately, including full benefits," and "The district will continue Mr. Anderson on paid leave while a transition plan is finalized to return him to work."
"MTI is pleased to see the district rescind the termination of Marlon Anderson, paving the way for him to return to the incredible work he does with Madison's students. We now look forward to working with the District to review and address its zero tolerance policy", said MTI Executive Director Doug Keillor, in a statement.

Forty-eight-year-old Anderson said he used the racial slur on Oct. 9 when responding to a student who called him a number of obscenities, including the n-word, and tried to explain to the student why the term was offensive. The Madison School District has a zero-tolerance policy on employees using racial slurs, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
"I just don't understand getting fired for trying to defend yourself," Anderson had said in an interview with the Journal. "As a black man, I have a right not to be called that word." Anderson told the Journal that he told the student multiple times "do not call me that," "do not call me that word," and "do not call me a N-word," using the slur during the confrontation.
He was fired for using the word a week later. Anderson posted about his firing on Oct. 16.
Anderson's story soon gained traction online, drawing outrage from members of the Madison community and even prominent politicians like the singer Cher. Students held a walk out protest in support of Anderson last week. More than 15,000 people have signed a Change.com petition in support of Anderson and a GoFundMe raised $12,483 to support him and his family.
On Oct. 21, Madison Teacher's Inc. filed a grievance with the school district over Anderson's firing.

Shortly before the decision to rescind Anderson's firing was announced, School Board President Gloria Reyes said in a statement that she requested the superintendent rescind the firing.
"I have requested that the superintendent review the current situation regarding the use of racial slurs in school and rescind the termination," she said in the statement. "Going forward, we will review our practice and we remain dedicated to protecting our students and staff from harm by implementing practices that are reflective of the humanity involved. We will grapple with complexity and assess it through a lens of deep racial equity."
In a statement, Belmore said, "I want to be very clear that as we go forward, we will keep students at the center. Our commitment to anti-racism and to use the input from community, especially our students is unwavering. I look forward to continued conversations on how to support our students and our staff. Thank you for your commitment to the deep work on equity which is the right work for us."

After 53-point loss in spring opener, Edward Waters moving on from Greg Ruffin
Greg Ruffin/Mid-South Conference
How Tuskegee swingman Reco Hallmon went from unheralded recruit to Golden Tigers glue guy
A week after losing by 53 points in its season opener to Jackson State, Edward Waters College is reportedly making a significant coaching change.
WJXT-Channel 4 (Jacksonville, Fla.) reporter Cole Pepper reported Sunday that head coach Greg Ruffin might be out of a job.
Pepper based the assertion on a recent post found on the school's website that indicated the college is currently seeking a head football coach.
The post, dated Feb. 26, lists what appears to be an open job as a "priority" accompanied by a full summary of the position.

The school, according to News4Jax, had not officially announced Ruffin's status with the program, saying "We cannot comment on personnel matters at this time."
It was later confirmed Sunday night through reporting by the Florida Times-Union that Ruffin was indeed out and would be replaced by defensive coordinator Joseph Carter on an interim basis.
Carter, who joined Edward Waters in 2020, previously spent 12 seasons at Tuskegee as a safeties coach and defensive coordinator.
Ruffin concludes his two-plus year stint at Edward Waters with a 5-18 overall record.

Please choose a CD single below. New singles are always displayed on the first page.
Lastly, to make the pages load faster, the singles will be split into several pages (hence why I alternated/color-coded the links).
My friend Kiwi Musume said the title of the CD (which means "Glass Eye[s]") reminded her of Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter. (xD) I can assure you this CD isn't about him, but the circumstances around it are just as strange and creepy.
For starters, notice the catalogue numbers on the CD. One is GYZL-10002, and the other is GYCL-35002. Why they're so different, I have no clue. I also don't know if the CD Only and CD+DVD versions have different cover art. The cover above is the only one I keep seeing (even at stores like CDJapan), and it's the same one I have (I own the CD+DVD version). But usually each version of a CD has a different cover. The CD is also strange because it has NO instrumental/karaoke tracks, which is practically unheard of nowadays, especially in Japan.
Aside from these issues, the song are pretty good and have an acoustic, mellow sound. (^^) And the single is historic because for one, it marks I-lulu's first real attempt to go mainstream. The title track was the theme song for a horror movie called "Kuchisake-onna".
Kuchisake-onna itself is historic: it's an old Japanese folklore, which you can read about it on this ENGLISH Wikipedia page (there's also an alternative version you can read, which is also in English).
This single was also the first victim of I-lulu/get over the record's "inconsistent catalogue number" disorder. The group has released three CDs, each with a different catalogue number: GORBC, GYCL, and GYZL, respectively.

What glue are you sniffing,today?
I did find it strange not one player wanted to stay from last year we will never know the full story.
Yes we do - we had to slash the wage bill and those that JG wanted to keep were offered about 60% of what they were on.
Of those under contract we were offered money for Fadz which we decided to take, and £100k for Drury which triggered a release clause in his contract.
You talk about last season as if we were fantastic, don't forget we played a lot of rubbish then as well, 6 straight defeats in March/April, 1 goal in 8 leage games in Oct/Nov, I'm struggling to remember the team that you say was so fantastic.
For example Proctor was hopeless last year, but has scored regularly for Fleetwood. So he was either poor for us, or just poorly managed.
Proctor wasn't poor for us some of his games he was excellent .
I sincerely hope you're right Guildford.Getting beat is a bad habit to get in to,and at times a bugger to get out of!!!
Believe nothing the club tells you Simon.You'll get the hang of it one day I'm sure.
Couldn't agree more. People sometimes talk about last season as though we were some kind of title challengers. We never were. Sometimes we were worse than awful.
Of those that left for no money the only ones I'm really sad we lost are Bulman and Sadler. It would have been good to keep hold of Mark Connolly and Jamie proctor but I wasn't devastated.
And I really think that we might have had a point or two more if we'd had Bulman still in the side - particularly with Josh out. smith just hasn't cut it for me as either a player or an organiser of other less experienced players around him.
So far we have played teams that are likely to be in top 10...If we lose the next two games against Cambridge and Rochdale then we will be in trouble..Until then lets try and hold our nerve and support the lads and last season's messiah Mr Gregory..
2 goals before Christmas, wasn't it?
Cannot comment on the Sheff Utd (but good comments on us from their people) but I can on the Norwich game and we played some decent football, didnt just lump it and deserved something from the game!
We have played Bradford and Swindon (amongst others) and they are not exactly world beaters!!?

Whisk Wednesdays: Where is my $%^& upload cord??? - Spork or Foon?
Whisk Wednesdays: Where is my $%^& upload cord???
You know how Brad Pitt is starring in a movie called "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons"? Well, Teanna DiMicco (me) is starring in a movie called "The Curious Case of the Missing Digital Camera Upload Cable".
I finally was able to get myself together and start up with Whisk Wednesdays again. This week was a Beef Stew of Lamb and Spring Vegetables. I did heartier vegetables in honor of the fall, so I used butternut squash, parsnips (are those a fall vegetable? All I know is that I didn't like them, and I'll never be cooking with them again, no matter what season), carrots, celery and potatoes. So I guess the only fall vegetable I used is the butternut squash. But it makes me feel like I'm cooking seasonally, so humor me.
One thing I need to practice: the art of turning vegetables. Turning a vegetable is taking that vegetable and shaping it like a little, itty, bitty football, with seven sides. My vegetables ended up with three sides, five sides, eight sides - shall I go on? I never got one - not one! - seven sided football. My vegetables looked like that game I used to play when I was a kid where I had to fit the blocks through the corresponding holes of the box. You remember that game? Star goes in the star, heart through the heart... not for the geometrically challenged, I can tell you that much.
I got frustrated. I cut myself. I remembered my new best friend and number one weapon: my creme brulee torch. I got the gleam in my eye. If these vegetables wouldn't cooperate, then I'd make them rue the day they were ever plucked from the ground.
And maybe I just wanted to play with some fire.
I had the pyrotechnic devil on one shoulder telling me to do it. But my little angel on my other shoulder, dressed in full on fireman's garb, spoke me down from the ledge. I forged on, ugly vegetables and all.
But the stew was good. Hearty. I didn't die over it, but it was definitely very pleasing. I am finding with a lot of the Whisk Wednesday recipes that the French really like subtly behind their foods. I can appreciate that. I'm down with the French.
Just to prove that I did it, here is another (blurry) photo from my iPhone. I took a picture of the picture I took on my digital camera. Now I'm off to hunt me some elves.
Click here for some REAL Whisk Wednesdays photos!
They are some blurry photos.
Glad you liked the stew. I agree that the French dishes are subtle. I have been amping up the seasonings a bit.
I misplace my upload cord all the time. It's frustrating. I'm sure the stew was wonderful-great intro to Fall. I had a great parsnip au gratin just recently that an English friend made and I didn't like parsnips before.
OMGosh! How incredibly frustrating!! I wish I had your excuse though... *Ü* I've cooked and shot pictures but I haven't slowed down to write yet, and I've got a third to get going on too! Egad! LOL!! I know it looks fabulous, because all of your dishes look marvelous! I have faith! Happy Whisking!
I can't believe I missed this post! Sorry about that! Glad you were able to make it, and I know you found your upload cable from a later post!

Tesla to help roll out world's largest "virtual power plant" in Australia
By Michael Irving
Tesla to help roll out world's...
The South Australian Government has teamed up with Tesla to roll out the world's largest virtual power plant, which will see over 50,000 homes generating and storing electricity and feeding it into the main grid
South Australian Government
Last year, Tesla built what is essentially the world's biggest battery in Australia, and now the company is again partnering with the South Australian government to build the world's largest "virtual power plant." By installing solar panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries on thousands of houses, the proposed system would allow homes to generate their own electricity and feed it back into the state's power grid when needed.
Blackouts ravaged the state of South Australia through the summer of 2016, leading the state government to launch a plan to "take charge of the state's energy future." A key part of that plan was to build the world's largest battery system to store energy gathered by South Australia's extensive renewable sources. Tesla took up the challenge to build the facility with a series of Powerpacks, with Elon Musk offering to build it within 100 days or it's free – and meeting the deadline.
Less than a month after the new battery system booted up, it proved its worth when it was able to inject 100 MW into the national grid to compensate for a fault at a major coal-fired plant. The Powerpacks were reportedly able to respond to the shortage in just 140 milliseconds – far, far quicker than the 10 to 15 minutes it would usually take for emergency generators to fire up.
The newly-announced system is also designed to keep the grid stable, by decentralizing electricity generation and storage. Over the next four years, the South Australian government is planning to install 5-kW rooftop solar panel systems coupled to 13.5-kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 batteries in over 50,000 homes.
The panels and batteries will be supplied and installed for free, but participants will still have to pay for the electricity they use, with economics analysis suggesting that participating households will save about 30 percent on their electricity bills. These homes will also be protected from blackouts. If the Powerwall detects a disruption in the grid, it will immediately restore power the house from its own reserves without interruption.
Not only will these allow homes to generate and store their own energy, but they will all come together to form what the government and Tesla are calling the world's largest virtual power plant, with a capacity of 250 MW. Excess electricity from each home will be fed back into the main grid, or can be drawn on in an emergency.
The first trial for the virtual power plant is currently underway, with 1,100 Housing Trust properties receiving the solar panels and Powerwalls at no cost. After that, the systems will be installed at another 24,000 Housing Trust properties, before the offer is opened up to all South Australian households.
The South Australian government outlines the project in the video below.

Since all power sources that are dependent upon the weather will occasionally have wide-spread outages, they all need fossil fuel back-ups. But, Australia has made it clear that investing in building or maintaining such a power plant is a dead end, because of their environmental regulations.
So, Australia should expect more outages in the future, both because of failures at fossil fuel plants that need maintenance, and when weather doesn't comply with their renewal energy desires.
WolfeSA February 5, 2018 04:13 AM
@Pupp1, I think u misread the article. The entire focus is on massive battery capacity. Therefore the issue of whether the wind or sun is strong enough is no longer relevant. That old tired argument by the pro-fossil lobby is no longer valid. It hangs around as misinformation or ignorance. It applies of course if the sun doesn't rise, but then we've got bigger problems. :-)
over_there February 5, 2018 10:11 AM
@wolfSA, have you done the maths on this 50 000 * 10 KWh is 500 MWh, right now sa is using 1650 MWh so this battery will power them for about 20 minutes( but couldnt really because of discharge rate limited to 5 kw) so really it could potentially supply about 1/7th of the power to sa for 2 hours thats not going to make renewables viable and these disapointing numbers would come at a cost of about $500 000 000 + the solar part. There is no misinformation or ignorance against renewables just solid maths. For all south australias talk of renewables it runs on gas. Tasmania runs far more on renewables and uses the only viable energy storage method hydro.

@over_there If you are going to do the math, do it right. You need to account for the 50,000 homes that would then be off the grid. This would obviously affect the current "1650 MWh" grid usage. Sounds like you have some opinion to prove rather that wanting to do "solid maths"

What you don't understand is all things move slowly but surely to a solution. The final solution is solar on every roof, with battery backup. Don't forget the electric car in the driveway. They are already doing it in the Netherlands. Japan is doing it with Nissan leafs. The future is not giant batteries, it millions of little batteries scatter all over the place. Elon said himself Australia could be self sufficient and export solar electric. The key to that is, instead of building new fossil plants you built solar plants. Now the roof concept may just surpass that. In AZ, the electric company is fighting buying solar from rooftops, it is threating their monopoly. One community found a way to beat the electric company. They only have one meter, on a cargo holder full of batteries. The houses draw from there, the houses have solar on the roof that feed their house and the cargo battery. If need be the cargo battery can draw from the grid, in most cases it is feeding the grid. They all share the cost of the system, so most of the time, bills are lower than $10.00 a month.

@ ellerbob, thinkabout that a bit more the houses off the grid ( which they wouldnt be at all ) but less the the houses with the battery storage would directly cancell them selves out there, you can say there battery goes to them it goes to the grid it make no difference to the maths the state is still using the same amount of power. If you want to count the extra solar in the calculations it gets much more complicated again but of course the calculated cost doubles too. The grid will still be using the same power.

Search for the fiascos in Hawaii and AZ to see how idiotic power companies can be. BUT, I hope that all power companies plus the US gov't line up to put us in a similar situation. We are far to dangerously reliant on our grid. A couple dozen tangoes could drop 90% of the power in the US overnight, and many parts of it wouldn't be coming back on for weeks, if that quickly. I think what AU is doing is just great, and I hope it turns out well for them and for us. We need widespread adoption of electric cars, modular "pocket" nuclear plants and hydro- electric for base, and massive local solar and local wind for main flux power, all with battery or other backup. Molten salt is one method that is heated by solar during the day and converted to steam overnight. All of that would get us entirely off the imported fossil fuel and considerably reduce our own use of it. It would significantly reduce our danger level from EMP and terrorism against the grid. I think AU is going to be the model to beat for the future. Right on, Elon. Keep the ideas flowing. We all benefit from your genius.


Maybe death is a larger part of my life than most- you see my partner Douglas is a mortician. I often listen to him as he shares with me about his day. How he cared for twin babies who didn't make it. How he prepared the cremated remains of a Japanese Buddhist for a bone picking ceremony. I listen as he speaks with pride of making the dead look as the living remember them. The constant presence of death in our home informs my views on yoga practice. Yoga not only prepares the practitioner to deal with their own mortality, it helps us integrate the grief of losing those we love.
In some ways, our practice is all about preparing for the moment of passing. In Yoga Mala, Pattabhi Jois writes that 'yoga signifies the means to the realization of ones true nature.' Yoga Sutra 1.2 says yogas citti vritti narodaha. This means that when the mind becomes quieter, we are more able to experience the part of ourselves that bares witness, our soul. So in effect, both lay out the purpose of yoga as an experience, in life, of what will be left when the body perishes.
The witnessing presence is very often obstructed by the minds grasping, its attachments and aversions. In a primal sense, the job of a mind is to catalogue content that may be beneficial or harmful for the body. Early in the evolutionary process, the brain of reptiles only contained enough neurons to understand when it should run from danger or when it should relax and eat. Over time, evolution gifted some beings with more and more gray matter and as a result we began to sense our own aliveness. Some of those new neurons got busy imagining our own deaths too. It is at this point that a yoga practice becomes helpful. Fear and morbidity about our own mortality, worry and sadness in anticipation of losing loved ones… these states will rob us of the possibility of contentedness in the present moment.
Through our asana practice, it is possible to cultivate a detached attention to pain. As we move into a posture and pain is there, we pause. We probe into the sensation and feel for its nature. Is it muscular, the sensation of tightness being undone? Or is it something tearing and breaking? We train ourselves respond in calm and measured ways. Grief can also be experienced in this way. Existential anxiety too. We notice how the body and mind are reacting. When thinking becomes obsessive and emotions burdensome, we can pause and move deeper into those feelings. We feel the acute physical tension gripping our necks, the pounding of our heads. We wade into the heaviness, swim into the heartache. Weep.
Yoga Sutra 1.14 says sa tu dirghakala nairantarya satkarasevito drdhabhumih, which Edwin Bryant translates as "Practice becomes firmly established when it has been cultivated uninterruptedly and with devotion over a prolonged period of time." If the yogis practice is as such, he or she may begin integrating the trauma more easily. Our experience on the mat may instinctively tell us that this is the time to slow our breath. To open our awareness up to the felt experience of pain and suffering, to let it have all the space it needs. To let it pass through unhindered. This is the power of abhyasa (practice), that dedication and devotion will lend our lives stability, so that even when the waters get rough we are able to continue moving forward steadily. Through practice of yoga, we come to better understand that thoughts and bodies are both transient just the same.
Practice and detachment support each other. They provide structure to help us remember that emotions and places and people alike are ephemeral. They shimmer into existence and then they shimmer out. Nothing in this physical universe is eternal. But deep in the heart of our practice is a feeling of oneness that seems clear and endless. In touching this stillness, we may become more comfortable just being with loss and life's big unanswered questions.
Loss is inevitable, but our reaction to experience is manageable. We can direct our challenges so that they become fuel for transformation. We are preparing for our own mortality, but being mortal isn't just accepting our mortality… it's about experiencing our human-ness in this brief and beautiful time we have. If we approach our life experience with the vairagya (non-attachment) of our practice, then we may begin to work with sorrow and joy just the same, simply as passing phenomena of life. This dispassion allows for holding close and letting go just as easily, potentially leaving us feeling easy, free and at peace. Resting in this home, we take refuge, even if just for a moment.
Grief is felt for many reasons, from the loss of a loved one, health issues, the end of a relationship, or passing of a pet. The following practices might help in the journey through mourning.
The following grounding and heart opening sequence might make a good companion to your established practice in times of grief.
Reach the hand from the heart up towards the ceiling, press the palm into the floor and reach through the fingertips as you look up the fingers above. Hold the stretch for a few breaths, then switch sides and repeat one and 2.
Bring the hands behind the back, and interlace fingers. Extend arms fully, lift up through the shoulder joint, then find some side to side movement. Next drop the clasped hands to the mat, pop the chest up and let the head drop back. Take a few deep breath and then draw yourself back up to seated.
Make your way to your knees for Ustrasana. Grief can cause the shoulders to fall in and the spine to round. Pressing the palms into the low back, feel for a lifting through the ribcage as you let the hips press forward and the head fall back.
From a seated kneeling position take Eagle Arms to relieve tension and stress in neck. Extend both arms in front of you at shoulder height, with palms up. Cross right arm over the left at the elbows and then bend the arms upward. Wrap the forearms around each other and touch the right palm to the left. Lift up through the shoulder joint and look up towards the thumbs. Repeat on Other side.
Take a seated twist. Catching the right hand on the left knee and the left hand on the floor behind you. As you inhale, grow taller. As you exhale, twist into that space.
Lay down on your back for a bridge pose. Bring the heels close to the glutes and just a little wider than the sit bones. With an inhale lift the hips high. Interlace the hands below you. Press the hands down as you rock side to side to work the shoulders further underneath you. Hold for 5 deep breath.
Leave your hands interlaced and gently lower yourself down so that you back and glutes press down into the arms and hands. This will create a stretch across the shoulders and chest. Take several deep breaths. Repeat 8 and 9.
Take Rest. Move the body into Sukhasana position. Let your body become still. Observe the movements of your breath.
A practice of dominant nostril concentration can help settle a disturbed mind. Every so often the body naturally shifts which nostril is dominant in your breathing pattern. When our emotions become strong and overwhelming, mindfully changing between nostrils can shift perspectives and calm nerves. To begin, sit with the spine upright and let the hands rest in an easy way in the lap. Let the shoulders soften down and back. Bring your awareness towards the tip of the nose and feel for which nostril is more actively moving the air in and out of the body. There's no rush, take your time to feel for the movement. It could take a minute. Once detected, feel how it's possible to direct the movement through the opposite side. This change is managed by a subtle movement in nasal cartilage, and again, it could take a little while for the shift to happen. You can practices switching sides a few times, breathing for several minutes per side. After releasing the practice breathe normally and spend a few moments noticing how your mood may have changed.
Bring your hands to prayer, close your practice with at least one low resonant 'om'. You could repeat the mantra up to 50 or even 100 times. Chanting is proven to have a calming, restful effect on the nervous system.

CDC: Mumps outbreak can still occur in highly VACCINATED communities
As reports of mumps continue to spread across the United States, particularly in schools, it seems that even the pro-vaccine crowd has been forced to reluctantly admit that many of the people being stricken by the disease are, in fact, vaccinated. For example, Pennsylvania State University recently noted that the majority of their students who […]

Form and function fuse smoothlyand free of toxinsin the Bilt Decal Fresco Stainless Steel Bottle. A lovely graphic on the safe, eco-savvy bottle looks lovely on the trail or on your desk, and the wide lid opens easily and attaches to most water filters.
I tried this out looking for a tougher Nalgene replacement for climbing and mountaineering. The plastic collar on the lid came off one bottle rendering it useless, and the taste is not as good as other metal bottles. In my mind bad tasting water is not only unpleasant, but may be a sign of something you'd rather not drink in the water (paranoia - likely). The lack of durability and improved taste eliminate the two main reasons to go with a metal bottle. I'd recommend a Kleen Kanteen or Sigg. I prefer the KK for it's wider mouth, but Sigg bottles tend to be more durable, both bottle and lid.


Here are some words from Lisa Samet's satisfied patients.
"When our baby was born, my husband, our baby and I entered into a dizzying world of traditional medicine because of our daughter's medical condition. 20 months later, after going through traditional medicine specialists and other alternative medicine specialists, Lisa Samet, naturopath has become the answer to our prayers. She patiently accompanied us with homeopathy that started our new worry-less life. With her naturopathic expertise, she also guided us towards the right food sensitivity tests for our little girl and my husband who also had health issues. Throughout that quest, she helped me with my energy and mood challenges and she even helped me experience a real closure of that tough period of my life with the emotional re-programming work that she does.
"Over 10 years ago, I went from medical doctor to medical doctor complaining of several ailments-migraine headaches, horrible menstrual cramps, extreme fatigue, dry skin, just to name a few. I was on the highest level of pain killers for the cramps and headaches (which were not having any effect) and there was nothing to be done for the extreme fatigue. It was supposedly normal because I was a mom and had a full-time job.
After seeing Lisa Samet, naturopath, my life changed forever. She asked me questions that no one ever had before and that were specific to my type of headache, my type of cramps, etc. This led her to choose a remedy that cured most of my ailments. My menstrual cramps and headaches were gone-no more drugs were needed for either of those things. My energy started to pick up and I was a different person altogether.


As the first year of homeschooling (grade 1) dawned for my daughter I realized I really wanted something in place for my 3 year old son. I knew I didn't want a full curriculum, after all, he'd be around for a lot of her learning but I wanted to do one intentional thing with him each day and that's where this list was born!
Each week has a Bible story which is actually from the Ambleside Year 1 program, since I want both my kids together for the Bible story. What I plan on doing for Bible is to read the story each day of the week from a different Bible each day (when possible). My favorite children's Bible is The Jesus Storybook Bible but we will also be using a variety of others.
I've tried to keep each activity to a time limit of 10 minutes for parental involvement, some days the parent needs to be involved in the whole activity and some days you can just show them how it works and they can continue on their own (while you work with your other children or get your own work done).
You can always switch activities around and if one doesn't work for you, you can always substitute it with some of our family favorites like puzzles, Play Dough, wooden blocks, Lego, magnets or one of the previous activities that can be used over again.
Right now I only have the schedule out for the first month but I hope to have a couple more months up soon as well as optional holiday weeks, be sure to PIN this post and check back often! I'd love it if you use the hashtag #intentionalpreschooling on Instagram and tag me (@chantelklassen) so I can see what you are all up to!
P.S. I only ended up sharing a few weeks of our 3-year-old preschool here, I may come back and fill the rest in at a later date, in the meantime you can view our entire 4-year-old preschool curriculum here.
P.S. I am kind of tempted to write out our grade 1 curriculum in this way as well, if that would be helpful for you let me know!

Men and Women during the Liberation of Paris
Recommended: Eleven Days in August.
On their way to Paris. The French metropolis was militarily going to be bypassed initially, although after some debate and a civilian uprising, Allied generals decided to liberate it. Many hoped to get into a convoy bound for the direction of Paris (silent, merci atelierdesarchives Best Of). Among them were Ernest Hemingway, Ernie Pyle, Charles Wertenbaker, female reporters Lee Carson of INS and Helen Kirkpatrick of Chicago Daily News, in a beret, among others. Field Marshall Montgomery detested female reporters. Wes Gallagher of AP it is said beat everybody into Paris (about 7 mins, but you could skip to August, after 36 seconds advance to 5 min mark.) Wes Gallagher was a good friend of Ernie Pyle. With the camera team is Hollywood director George Stevens, holding a pencil. Next is Gen. Leclerk in French kepi cap conversing with his troops—and the moments before the grand liberation.
Two thousand years of history on the cusp of destruction.
On the left are three German vehicles set on fire. Next to the Arc de Triumph is a German truck hightailing it out of Paris. Next to that is a burning tank amidst the trees. A shot of a critical operation in the hospital in Paris named Hotel-Dieu. A scene of the barricades. Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur.
A burning Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
The Resistance was composed of different political factions. The Resistance arose, a cease fire arose, a negation of sorts disagreeing with the convention sprang and events were driven by incongruent elements. The Germans agreed to adhere with the Geneva Convention, a crucial point. This did not include the SS.
But, the occupation was to end in 1944.
A priest from the abbey Foliet, a champion of FFI, encouraged young fighters. The Resistance and the people of Paris were brave and were in dire straits, and asked for help (merci libertyshipbe.) The situation was serious.
An episode in time for posterity, (in b-w) scenes of the Resistance. In color is 18-year old Simone Segouin. During the war, many changed their names, and she adopted the name Nicole Minet.
Before the curtain would close in August, (below in b-w) time ticked away for these Allied soldiers, the dark and dreary truth. These series of actual, but sad photos, show part of a tank crew removed after their Sherman was hit. This was actual war. They were inside the tank and there was the gruesome task of removing the bodies, one of the dead has no head. Tank column was hit hard before reaching Paris, and was part of a column attached to the Fr. 2nd Armored Division that came from the south to liberate Paris, via Rambouillet and Versailles. War is tragic.
The next three pictures are essential: from the vicinity of Avranches reinforcements pour in. With the soldiers were the cameramen and reporters. The FFI, in this case the Resistance in Chartres.
MacVane in Paris
Aug 25—At dawn, Fr. 2nd Arm Div troops enter Paris. Paris (above) is liberated, becoming the third European capital to be liberated, by both French and U.S. forces; Liberation of Paris in color, with occupation shown first. Pretty good colorization of history that is 75 years old. Note German language on the walls, and if you think video is a bit chaotic, brother you better believe that is the way it was. One day a cease fire, the next day no cease fire, then back again to cease fire, when you see a guy with a white flag and a red cross walk and boom, he gets shot by a German. Anything and everything happened, before the Allied troops arrived. On top of that you had rumors flying left and right, as bullets flew left and right. With the German soldiers out of Paris, electricity began to flow regularly. GIs of the 4th Inf Div entered Paris by the Porte d'Italie; by 7:30 am, radioed they were in Notre Dame. People are estatic, lengthy 8.58mins in b/w. Gen. von Cholitz, Paris military governor, lied to his superiors and left the city's landmarks intact. Gen. de Gaulle arrived at the Porte d'Orleans by 9:30 am. In the afternoon, an element of the British 30th Assault Unit entered via the Porte d'Orleans. Allies gathered at the Arc de Triumph by 3:30 when the German garrison of Paris also surrendered and the Allies received Von Choltilz as a prisoner, while other French units kept streaming into the capital. There was no time for parties as there were numerous Germans in the city, still. Combat of Leclerc's 2nd armored, the 4th and their tanks helped the FFI liberate their city by 8 pm, and all day stretcher bearers were busy tending to the injured from regular fire and by snipers. (danke et merci to Blitzkrieg_WW2, Romano Archives, BritishMovietone, ProjektErinnerung 1939-1945, and Ina Paris Vintage.) Avignon liberated by U.S. and French forces. In some of the following photos, you see people that hit the deck to avoid stray bullets. War is also bittersweet. The pounding hearts of thousands and thousands echoed August 25—a moment Paris was finally free from the Nazis.
General Charles de Gaulle triumphantly returned to Paris. Sgt. Sandy Hirschhaut, an American, was there with de Gaulle, evening Aug. 25, 1944. My deep gratitude to the Palm Springs Air Museum and DR.DAVE THOMPSON. De Gaulle on radio, from the Hôtel de Ville said, "Since the enemy which held Paris has capitulated into our hands, France returns to Paris, to her home." Yet, skirmishes continued in Paris. Battle For Paris United News, Aug. 25 this is a newsreel what the people back home saw (12 mins). Notice how large the metropolis of Paris is. In color as Paris was safer, Aug. 25: Narrated by Jack Lieb who was there 75 years ago, shooting with both color and b-w film (4.25 min combo); on assignment for News of the Day and shot in bw; the color film was his personal film, also in 16mm. The later shot of GIs marching down Champs-Élysées was not Aug. 25 but Aug. 29, when the U.S. 28th Inf Div was given the luck to march in Paris however, they right away went to the Front and taken to fight in the Huertgen Forest, a very nasty place to fight, as is described in the 1944 commemorative. We are grateful his sharing what he remembered. Beautiful Paris Aug. 25, 2019 parade festivities (about 2 mins, merci Franck Bindefeld). U.S. 9th A.F. challenges Luftwaffe over Beauvais and Reims in fierce combat air duels, destroy 127 German aircraft, damage 33; the back of the Luftwaffe breaks over France. U.S. 4th Arm Div, Third Army, tanks charge old wild West Calvary style and secure city of Troyes, after crazy city battling. Another of 3rd Army's units reaches Louviers and finds it abandoned. 1,191 heavies of the U.S. 8th A.F. bomb factories in Germany including huge synthetic oil plant at Politz. Allied reconnaissance took photos of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Musical Parade: Halfway to Heaven released in Technicolor, not to be confused with The Halfway House. Rumania declares war on Germany. U.S. sub Picuda sinks destroyer Yunagi and merchant tanker Kotoku Maru near Philippines. U.S. sub Tang sinks Japanese merchant tanker No.8 Nanko Maru off Honshu.

Amobarbital, commonly called Amytal (a brand name version of the drug) or sodium amytal, is a barbiturate prescribed to treat seizures, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
Barbiturates were once the first line of defense in treating serious anxiety and sleep disorders. They have become far less popular in the past two decades as safer options, like benzodiazepines, have increased in popularity.
However, amobarbital and other barbiturates are still prescribed, particularly for epilepsy and convulsion disorders, and they are still used in medical settings as well.
Amobarbital and other barbiturates are thought to be used on the street market as well, although there has not been much recent research to conclude how many people are obtaining these drugs on the street or online.
Even though their popularity is in decline, barbiturates like amobarbital remain a danger because of their high risk of potential abuse, dependency, overdose, and extreme withdrawal symptoms.
Amobarbital is a barbiturate that can act as a sedative-hypnotic or anticonvulsant drug, depending on its dosage.
Barbiturates act as a depressant on the central nervous system (CNS) and affect the central nervous system in several ways. The result is a calming or relaxing effect that can, depending on the dosing, be so intense that it acts as a sedative or anesthetic. In high doses, amobarbital can decrease one's heart rate and blood pressure to the point of inducing coma or death.
Unlike opioids or many other CNS depressants, sedative-hypnotics like amobarbital can "calm" the central nervous system without affecting mood or acting as a pain reliever. This is one reason these drugs have been popular for those seeking sedatives without pain-relieving effects, such as those looking for treatment for a sleeping disorder or epilepsy.
Is Amobarbital Addictive?
Like all barbiturates, amobarbital is highly addictive and habit-forming.
Users are likely to develop a tolerance to the drug that will cause them to crave stronger doses to achieve the effects they've grown accustomed to. Physical dependence quickly forms.
Who Uses Amobarbital?
Once widely prescribed for sleep problems and anxiety, barbiturates like amobarbital are now only prescribed in the U.S. for epilepsy. Their use for this purpose is even declining; however, as doctors are choosing safer alternatives to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
Because of their relatively low cost and effectiveness, barbiturates are popular in developing countries and areas outside the U.S.
On the illicit street market, barbiturates like amobarbital have become less popular, perhaps because they are less accessible because of their lower prescription rates.
Because of its severe side effects and high risk of dependence and overdose, any use of amobarbital beyond what is prescribed by a doctor or administered in a medical setting, including recreational use and taking higher doses of the medication than prescribed, is considered abuse of the drug and extremely dangerous.
Symptoms of Amobarbital Use
Amobarbital is a very strong medication. Users will exhibit side effects that may include:
Increased sense of relaxation
Loss of inhibition
Slurred or confused speech
Poor judgment
Poor muscle coordination
More serious side effects may indicate an overdose or adverse reaction to the drug, which can lead to coma or death. An individual with any of the following serious side effects should seek emergency medical attention immediately:
Slowed or problematic breathing
Swelling, particularly of the mouth, lips, or face
Extreme confusion
Visual hallucinations
Barbiturates like amobarbital have been largely phased out of modern-day medicine because of the extreme dangers they present to users. Short-term dangers include:
Addiction and dependence. Like all barbiturates, amobarbital is highly habit-forming. Users become both physically and psychologically addicted to the drug and begin to crave it when they're not using it. Users also develop a tolerance to amobarbital and will begin to need higher doses to achieve the desired effect
Overdose. The difference between a standard dose of amobarbital and a dose that will cause a dangerous or fatal overdose is very small, which makes the risk of overdose very high. The fact that users develop a tolerance and may begin taking a higher dose to increase their effects further amplifies the risk of overdose. Unlike many other drugs today, like opioids, there is no antidote available for a barbiturate overdose
Potential for interaction with other drugs. It is dangerous to mix amobarbital with many other drugs and substances, including alcohol and sleeping pills
Suicidal thoughts. Amobarbital's depressant effect on the central nervous system may increase the likelihood of suicidal thoughts, especially in users with a history of depression or mental illness
Severe withdrawal. Users should never abruptly stop their use of amobarbital, as this can result in dangerous and even fatal side effects and sickness.
Long-term dangers of consistent amobarbital use include:
Sleep problems. Once commonly prescribed as a sleep medication, it is now understood that barbiturates like amobarbital can result in lower quality and disrupted sleep
Sleep apnea. Because amobarbital can slow down breathing and make the upper airways more collapsible, there is a greater risk of sleep apnea. When combined with the drug's sedative effects on consciousness, this can create the risk of suffocation, asphyxiation, and even death.
Breathing problems and pneumonia. The effects of amobarbital on the body's organs can create long-term breathing problems and result in illnesses like pneumonia.
As discussed, barbiturate withdrawal is extremely difficult, uncomfortable, and dangerous.
During withdrawal, users are at risk of having convulsions, seizures, and fever and heart problems that can lead to fatal illness. Withdrawal from amobarbital should never be attempted cold turkey. It should always be supervised by a medical professional.
Most individuals begin to exhibit more mild withdrawal symptoms within eight to 12 hours of taking their last dose. These symptoms may include anxiety, twitching, muscle weakness, dizziness, insomnia, and tremors of the hands.
The most severe and dangerous withdrawal symptoms, including convulsions and delirium, may occur within 16 hours of abruptly stopping the medication. They can last up to five days.
Withdrawal symptoms generally fade over a 15-day period.
Treatment for Amobarbital Withdrawal
Because of the severity of amobarbital withdrawal symptoms and the extreme danger users are in throughout the withdrawal process, a residential detox center is often the best choice for withdrawal. Clients can be monitored throughout the entire process and made to feel as comfortable as possible.
Medical professionals can strategize a withdrawal plan that will include a very gradual lessening of amobarbital dosing. This helps to lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms and reduce the likelihood of experiencing seizures.
Other medications may be used to address other symptoms of withdrawal, such as insomnia or depression.
Recovery from Amobarbital Abuse
Because amobarbital is such an acute drug that creates strong dependence in its users, the road to recovery for those dependent on it can be challenging.
For this reason, inpatient addiction treatment may be the best option. In a treatment center, newly detoxed individuals don't have to immediately worry about daily stresses and reentry into their lives and society. They can focus solely on recovery.
Therapy will be a key part of recovery. During therapy sessions, clients will identify their previous motivations to abuse drugs. They'll address underlying issues and learn to deal with stress without turning to substance abuse.
The best recovery centers will help clients develop better life skills and judgment as well as coping skills to help them thrive in the real world without falling back into bad habits.
Today, amobarbital and other barbiturates have been mostly replaced by safer and milder prescription drugs, especially to treat conditions like insomnia and anxiety. Still, amobarbital is used in medical settings and sometimes prescribed for epilepsy. It is sometimes, though not frequently, used recreationally as well.
Because the risk of dependency and overdose is so high with barbiturates, anyone using amobarbital should be extremely aware of its high potential for abuse.
If you have become dependent on amobarbital, consult immediately with a doctor to develop a safe withdrawal plan. Withdrawal can be extremely dangerous and should never be attempted abruptly or without medical supervision.
Comprehensive substance abuse treatment is then needed to gain a firm footing in recovery.

I am a mom. And as the mom, I do many things others might forget. One such thing? Taking pictures. I am the official family photographer.
My husband and son often complain when I whip out the camera and proceed to snap shot after shot after shot after shot (I take a lot). But what they do not realize is this: they will thank me someday. Some day when one of us is gone, we will be grateful for the moments captured.
Today is my father's birthday. And on his birthday, I look at photos of him. I go back in search of what I cannot remember. It is a difficult couple of days – August 17th his birthday and August 20th the day he died. It is a strange stretch of time where I celebrate and mourn.
There are many regrets that follow a loss so big and wide. I was only eighteen when he died. Still technically a kid – so full of my own worries and focused on my own dreams to realize and understand how fleeting and precious every moment was with him. But one obvious regret? I wish I had more pictures to help me remember him.
The year of his death – 1988 – was in the pre-technology, electronic boom. Yes, we had Walkmans, boomboxes, and Polaroid and disposable cameras. But access to photography was still a haphazard and annoying process. You had to have the camera. You had to remember to bring the camera. You had to take the actual picture. You had to bring it somewhere to have it developed. And finally, you had to go back and pick up the photos.
I feel very fortunate to even have the photos I do. His childhood was on a small-town farm and the few pictures taken during that time are monochromatic, rare, and only covering a couple of years. Later, there are snapshots of his life as a husband and father and farmer but again, there are not many.
When he died, I believed he would always be here – in person – so I could physically hug him, love him, and see him up close. I think about him every day and often wonder what he would look like as a thriving 76-year-old man rather than a timeless 47-year-old. He was still in his prime, and I instinctively imagine him much the same – strong, active, and ever-handsome, with those sparkling, mischievous eyes.
I am left to create my own image of him and carry it as a memory.
This. This is why I take so many photos and selfies.
I want my son to look back and say "I remember this day." But more importantly, I want him to remember me. And his father. And the rest of his family. And his friends. I want him to see how we were then and every time after. I do not want him to have the fear of forgetting the people he loves.
So to all you out there – the ones who stand behind the camera rather than in front of it – get in the picture. I guarantee even the most horrible selfie will one day be cherished because you were there. Stop worrying about taking the perfect photo. Stop imagining how many likes and comments you will get on social media. Focus on making an image perfect for your memory. No one else needs to see them. In truth, that is how much of life should be. Live the moments for you rather than an online audience.
Capture the people you love, your moments, your life. Say cheese!
END NOTE: In a digital age, it is easy to store photos on a cloud, computer, or phone. I suggest you get those photos into print form. And once you do, put those actual pictures into an honest-to-goodness photo album. (I use THIS ALBUM – it looks like book spines on my shelf!) I also recommend writing dates, names, and places on the back of each picture before filing. I promise you will be happy you did. One of my favorite things to do is look through these physical albums with my son. He loves seeing pictures of milestones and vacations and everyday life. And the moment is made more special snuggling on a couch and touching fingertips to real images rather than swiping left on a screen.
… set up two orthodontic appointments, make a list for back to school shopping, clean out my inbox, have the oil changed and car washed, write 3 blog posts, finalize a book outline, get back on a full-time writing schedule, arrange a doctor visit, organize my work files, I NEED TO … I NEED TO … I NEED TO!
Family. Friends. Work. School. Home. Health. Hobbies. These days our plates are so full – overflowing with tasks and responsibilities – it is easy to become overwhelmed, frustrated, and even distracted.
Personally, I do not mind having things to do and a sense of purpose. But when they infringe on my family time, my fun time, my chance-to-relax time, my VACATION where I am supposed to get-away-from-it-all time … I become seriously annoyed.
… focus on my son's smile when he tells a silly joke, squeeze my husband's hand a little tighter when we walk side by side, cheer louder as we watch our favorite major league baseball team, linger longer over a delicious dinner and relaxing glass of wine, savor the memory of our recent family reunions.
Life NEEDS to be lived on our terms rather than directed by duty. Believe me, the to-dos will still be there – if and whenever we get back to them. The moments, however, will not.

Google buys about 1,000 IBM patents
0 0 Ravi Kumar Purbey 1 Aug 2011
Google Inc. has bought about 1,000 pending and issued patents from IBM Corp. in its quest to shore up its defenses against suits by other technology companies, according to documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Google and IBM spokesmen wouldn't comment Friday on the purchase.
The patent transfers were recorded two weeks ago and cover a range of technologies, many of which have little to do with Google's Internet search and advertising business. One covers ways of automatically adjusting a clock, another deals with surface treatments for electrical contacts.
But even patents that have little do with Google's business can be useful ammunition in the hyper-litigious technology world.
If it's sued over patents by a company whose business relies on technologies covered by Google's patents, Google can file a retaliatory lawsuit.
Phone makers that use Google Inc.'s Android software are being sued by Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp. As a young company, Google has few patents of its own to counter with.
Kent Walker, Google's general counsel, wrote in a blog post in April that the explosion in patent litigation threatens to stifle innovation.
"But as things stand today, one of a company's best defenses against this kind of litigation is (ironically) to have a formidable patent portfolio, as this helps maintain your freedom to develop new products and services," Walker wrote.
Earlier this month, Google participated in an auction for a collection of 6,000 patents from Nortel, a bankrupt Canadian maker of telecommunications equipment. It was outbid by a consortium including Apple that paid $4.5 billion.
In the past year, Google has also bought patents from Verizon Communications Inc. and Motorola Inc.
The patent sale was first reported by the blog SEO by the Sea, which follows Google.

Shrimp noodles, Har Gow, Seafood Dumpling: Shrimp steamed to just cooked so texture was spot on. Each type of noodle was very thin, not doughy at all.
Congee: Easily the best congee we have ever had. The rice porridge had a depth of flavor from pork and chicken and just the right touch of thousand-year-old egg.
Tripe: Not Greasy, Not Chewy! Generous portion served over braised daikon chunks. Better than I have had in France.
Taro Cake: Not mealy – very smooth texture and just the right amount of pork flavor.
Bitter melon + seafood: Slices of bitter melon stuffed with seafood mix in a savory pork/chicken broth. Part stew, part soup, the bitter melon was cooked to tenderness and the broth accentuated it beautifully. A delicate and delightful dish, and a great low-carb option!
Almond "Soup": This was unbelievable. Served in ceramic terrine and covered with a layer of flaky puff pastry, this dessert item consisted of a delicate almond milk broth (served warm) with an amazingly pure almond flavor. As I enjoyed it, I was visualizing someone milking almonds the way one would milk a cow. This was far better than almond soups I have had in fine European restaurants. Incredible. I am craving more now.
We got there at 11:30AM on a sunday and waited about 40 min. Service was friendly, we were able to communicate reasonably well to the point where we had waitstaff seeking out special requests for us. They brought us extra chili oil and we didn't even have to ask.
I have read that a favorite at this restaurant is the duck tongue. This was unavailable during our visit but we do plan on going back and trying it.
Prices are a bit lower than than average. Our bill was $45 but we easily ordered enough food for 6 people. Our fridge is quite full with leftovers.

title: Difference with Web
type: references
order: 10.1
version: 2.1
---

# Differences between using Vue in Web and Weex

## Platform Differences

Vue.js was designed for the Web platform at the begining. Although it can be based on Weex to develop native applications, there are still many differences between web and native. See [Platform Differences Between Weex and Web](../ platform-difference.html) for more details.

Due to those differences, Weex doesn't support those features in Vue.js (mostly are DOM-related):

+ Event bubbling and capturing are not supported. Event modifiers, such as `.prevent`,` .capture`, `.stop`,` .self` are meaningless in the native environment.
+ The keyboard event modifiers, like `.{KeyCode | keyAlias}` is also meaningless. (see [docs in Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/events.html#Key-Modifiers))
+ No need to call `vm.$mount` manually, the entry component will mount to the root view of the native container by default.
+ `v-html` and` v-text` directives are not supported.

## Functional differences

### Vue 2.0 Runtime-only build

Vue 2.0 provides two available builds, the standalone build and the runtime-only build. see the [official document](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/installation.html#Standalone-vs-Runtime-only-Build) for more information.

Weex only required the runtime-only build of Vue 2.0 for better performance and less code size.

The specific differences are:

+ The `template` attribute is not supported when defining a component.
+ Does not support using `x-templates`.
+ Does not support using `Vue.compile`.

### Isolate the context of multiple pages

Weex use the "multiple-pages" concept in native, different js bundle will be run in different native views, there context is isolated. Even the `Vue` variable is not the same instance between js bundles. (However, all the js bundle will share the same Weex runtime.)

Based on this feature, the global configurations in `Vue` will only take effect on the current page:

+ `Vue.config`
+ `Vue.component`
+ `Vue.directive`
+ `Vue.filter`
+ `Vue.mixin`
+ `Vue.use`

> Note: Those methods are still work, but its effect will be limited to the current page.

## Restrictions in style

CSS is very flexible, has a lot of properties, support a variety of layout modes. This is the advantage of CSS, but also a bottleneck in browser performance optimization.

The style in Weex is parsed by the native renderer, and for the sake of performance and complexity, Weex makes some trade-offs about CSS features to make it better suited to *"best practices"*.

### Single class selector

Weex only supports to use single class name in `<style>`, does not support *type selectors*, *ID selectors*, *attribute selectors*, *adjacent sibling selectors* and the *combinators*.

```CSS
/* Support single class name selector */
.one-class {
  font-size: 36px;
}

/* Does not support to use combinators between selector */
.parent > .child {
  padding-top: 10px;
}
.foo + .bar {
  margin-left: 20px;
}

/* Does not support attribute selectors. The `v-cloak` directive is not supported */
[V-cloak] {
  color: #FF6600;
}
```

The restriction is only for the style definition, does not affect the use of class names. You can still use multiple class names on a single tag, such as:

```Html
<template>
  <div class="one two three"><div>
</template>
```

### Scoped by default

In Weex, For single file components, the styles written in the `<style>` can only be used in the current component.

In order to maintain consistency with Native, it is recommended that you write the style in the `.vue` file with the` scoped` attribute, that is, `<style scoped>`.

### Supported CSS attributes

Weex supports a subset of CSS, and will continue to expand.

Weex supports *box-model* and *flexbox*, as well as other common styles. See [Weex Common Style](../ common-style.html) and [Supported Web Standards](http://weex.apache.org/references/web-standards.html) for more information.

In addition, you should also pay attention to the following points:

+ No need to write style prefix.
+ Weex doesn't support `display: none;` and therefore doesn't support the `v-show` directive.
+ In order to optimize the efficiency of CSS parser, Weex doesn't support shorthand attributes, involving the following attributes:
  + `flex`
  + `border`, `border-(top|bottom|left|right)`
  + `margin`
  + `padding`
  + `font`
  + `background`

## Differences in development

Because of the platform difference, you have to compile your source file in two different ways:

+ For the web, you can compile source files in any official way, such as Webpack + vue-loader or Browserify + vueify. and require the [weex-vue-render](https://www.npmjs.com/package/weex-vue-render), which is a group of Weex build-in components.
+ For Android and iOS, we've provided [weex-loader](https://github.com/weepteam/weep-loader) to compile the `.vue` files. That is, use Webpack + weex-loader to generate the js bundle that is available for the native.

### Use weex-loader

[weex-loader](https://github.com/weexteam/weex-loader) is a loader for Webpack, see the [official document](http://webpack.github.io/docs/using-loaders.html) to learn how to use it.

One more thing should be reminded is that if the *entry file* of your webpack config is a `.vue` file, you also need to pass an additional ` entry` parameter, usually set to `true`.

```Js
module.exports = {
  // Add the entry parameter for the .vue file
  entry: './path/to/App.vue?entry=true',

  // other configurations ...

  module: {
    loaders: [{

      // matches the .vue file path that contains the entry parameter
      test: /\.vue(\?^^]+)?$/,
      loaders: ['weex-loader']
    }]
  },
}
```

**You don't need to write those additional parameters if you are using `.js` file as entry file.** We recommend using javascript files as the entry file of webpack config.

### Setup native development environments

Since your are using Weex to develop native apps, setup native development environments, both Android and iOS, would be very useful.

See [Integrating Weex to the existing application](../../guide/integrate-to-your-app.html) for more information.
