Q: Verificar si el campo está vacio o no Cómo verificar si el campo está vacío o no en (MYSQLi, php 5.6). Acá les dejo mi código:
if(isset($_POST["_commentSubmit"])) {
    $message = $db->real_escape_string($_POST["_fullMessage"]);
    $message = strip_tags($message);
    $db->real_query("INSERT INTO profile_wall (page_id, poster_id, message, time) VALUES ('" . $_pageId . "', '" . USER_ID . "', '" . $message . "', '" . time() . "')");
}

<form method='post'>

            <textarea name="_fullMessage" cols="50" rows="15"></textarea>

                <input class="btblack" type='submit' name='_commentSubmit' value='Comentar'>

        </form>

Anduve creando un sistema de comentarios, pero aún que no ponga nada en el 'textarea' envía datos a la db; apenas comienzo en PHP perdonen.

A: No esta muy clara la duda, para mySQL lo tienes que hacer.
where
valor NULL

en PHP con el isset ()
De todas formas deberias de poner una validacion en cliente de ese texarea.

A: No estoy seguro lo que quieres conseguir,con esto primero validas que exista la variable y a continuación que no este vacía
 if(isset($_POST["_commentSubmit"]&& !empty($_POST["_commentSubmit"))

//empty() devuelve true para un string vacío
$var = "";
var_dump( empty($var) );

Como comentan mas arriba si pones required en el campo evitas que llegue vacío

A: Te corrijo primero unas cosas y te doy las comprobaciones después :D
En un formulario siempre es bueno definir el action. Por otro lado el method bien sea POST o GET debe ir en mayúsculas, para evitar sustos.
Te he hecho una comprobación del lado cliente, con jquery, que tendrás que agregar tu librería si no la tienes(te la pego en el código para que te sea mas fácil) y otra en el lado servidor.
Le di una id al formulario, para trabajar mas cómodamente con el y use empty() en el PHP para poder comprobar, si jquery falla o lo manipulan, que, efectivamente, el textarea no es una cadena de texto vacía.
<?php
if(isset($_POST["_commentSubmit"]) && !empty($_POST['_fullMessage'])) {
        $message = $db->real_escape_string($_POST["_fullMessage"]);
        $message = strip_tags($message);
        $db->real_query("INSERT INTO profile_wall (page_id, poster_id, message, time) VALUES ('" . $_pageId . "', '" . USER_ID . "', '" . $message . "', '" . time() . "')");
    }

?>

<form method='POST' id="miform" action="">

            <textarea name="_fullMessage" cols="50" rows="15"></textarea>

                <input class="btblack" type='submit' name='_commentSubmit' value='Comentar'>

        </form>

Me cuentas tus dudas. Un saludo.

Finale: Late Conversations with Stephen Sondheim (Hardcover)
By D.T. Max
(PLAYS)
An intimate portrait of a genius: the late Stephen Sondheim in a series of illuminating and deeply personal interviews from the last years of his life—conversations that show the composer-lyricist as he has likely never been seen before.
In 2017, New Yorker staff writer D.T. Max began working on a major profile of Stephen Sondheim that would be timed to the eventual premiere of a new musical Sondheim was writing. Sadly , that process – and the years of conversation – was cut short by Sondheim's own hesitations, then the global pandemic, and finally by the great artist's death in November 2021.
Now, Max has taken the raw version of these conversations and knit them together into an unforgettable work of literature and celebration. Finale reveals Sondheim—a star who disliked the spotlight—at his most relaxed, thoughtful, sardonic, and engaging, as he talks about work, music, movies, family, New York City, aging, the creative process, and much more.
Max brings you into the room and gives you a front row seat for their unusual and intimate three-year-long "pas de deux." The two bond, spar, separate, and reunite, as Max elicits from Sondheim a candor and vulnerability he seldom displayed in public.
This is a unique portrait of an artist in his twilight, offering remarkable insight into the mind and heart of a genius whose work changed American musical theater and popular culture forever.
D.T. Max is a staff writer at the New Yorker. He is the author of The Family That Couldn't Sleep: A Medical Mystery, and the bestselling Every Love Story is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace. He lives outside of New York City.
"Max paints a nuanced and sympathetic portrait of a notoriously private figure, enhanced with his own astute and earnest perspective . . . . Sondheim's fans shouldn't miss this." — Publishers Weekly
"[An] erudite and affably self-conscious memoir of the creative process. . . . For every brilliant chunk of dialogue, there are multiple moments when Max invites readers into his thought process while interviewing, as well as first-person accounts of the frenzied desire he felt coaxing Sondheim into revealing what makes him tick." — Vulture

Q: How do I use strdup? I am calling strdup and have to allocate space for the variable before calling strdup.
char *variable;
variable = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char*));
variable = strdup(word);

Am I doing this right? Or is there something wrong here?

A: you don't need to alloc space for use with strdup, strdup will do that for you. However you should free it after use.
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main (){

    const char* s1= "Hello World";
    char* new = strdup (s1);
    assert (new != NULL);

    fprintf( stdout , "%s\n", new);

    free (new);
    return 0;
}

Edit: Be carefull with C++ as the variable name new is fine in C and not in C++ since it is a reserved name for operator new.

A: You seem confused. Forget what you know about pointers. Let's work with ints.
int x;
x = rand();    // Let us consider this the "old value" of x
x = getchar(); // Let us consider this the "new value" of x

Is there any way for us to retrieve the old value, or has it "leaked" from our view? As a hypothetical, suppose you were expected to let the OS know that you're finished with that random number, in order for the OS to perform some cleanup tasks.
Is the old value required for the generation of the new value? How can it be, when getchar can't see x?
Let us now consider your code:
char *variable;
variable = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char*)); // Let us consider this the "old value" of variable
variable = strdup(word);                  // Let us consider this the "new value" of variable

Is there any way for us to retrieve the old value, or has it "leaked" from our view? You're expected to let the OS know when you're finished with malloced memory, by calling free(variable);.
Is the old value required for the generation of the new value? How can it be, when strdup can't see variable?
FYI, here's an example of how strdup might be implemented:
char *strdup(const char *original) {
    char *duplicate = malloc(strlen(original) + 1);
    if (duplicate == NULL) { return NULL; }

    strcpy(duplicate, original);
    return duplicate;
}

A: If you're using the POSIX standard strdup(), it calculates the space needed and allocates it and copies the source string into the newly allocated space.  You don't need to do a malloc() yourself; indeed, it immediately leaks if you do it since you overwrite the only pointer to the space you allocated  with the pointer to the space that strdup() allocated.
Hence:
char *variable = strdup(word);
if (variable == 0) …process out of memory error; do not continue…
…use variable…
free(variable);

If you do need to do the memory allocation, then you need to allocate strlen(word)+1 bytes in variable and you can then copy word into that newly allocated space.
char *variable = malloc(strlen(word)+1);
if (variable == 0) …process out of memory error; do not continue…
strcpy(variable, word);
…use variable…
free(variable);

Or calculate the length once and use memmove() or perhaps memcpy():
size_t len = strlen(word) + 1;
char *variable = malloc(len);
if (variable == 0) …process out of memory error; do not continue…
memmove(variable, word, len);
…use variable…
free(variable);

Don't forget to ensure you know where the free() is for every malloc().

A: As it currently stands you are always leaking 4 to 8 bytes (depending on your architecture). Regardless of strdup which will allocate the required dynamic memory on its own you are reassigning the only variable that holds the pointer to your newly malloced memory area.
Simply say
char* const variable = strdup(word);

– technika tortur, zwana "odwrotnym powieszeniem" lub "torturą jamy", stosowana w XVII w. w Japonii w stosunku do chrześcijan (kirishitan), których starano się w ten sposób skłonić do apostazji. Torturowanego zawieszano za nogi na linie, przywiązując jedną rękę do ciała, drugą pozostawiając wolną, by w każdej chwili mógł dać znak, że jest gotów wyrzec się wiary.

Prześladowania chrześcijan miały miejsce w okresie Edo po edykcie Iemitsu Tokugawy o samoizolacji kraju. Tsurushi stosowano zarówno wobec rdzennych Japończyków, jak i wobec Europejczyków.

Osoby torturowane często były zawieszane w jamie wypełnionej nieczystościami. Zazwyczaj też nacinano skórę czaszki w okolicach uszu bądź na czole, aby pozwolić na spadek ciśnienia krwi w głowie. Niekiedy, by zwiększyć cierpienie, ciało obciążano kamieniami.

Chrześcijanom, którzy dokonali apostazji, darowywano życie, ale wielu torturowanych odmówiło wyparcia się wiary.

Przedłużające się tortury powodowały śmierć na skutek upływu krwi, wzmożonego ciśnienia śródczaszkowego, krwawienia śródczaszkowego, uduszenia lub nieznośnego bólu. Niekiedy ofiary tsurushi tonęły w jamie napełniającej się po ulewnych deszczach.

Znanymi osobami, które poniosły śmierć w wyniku tsurushi, są Magdalena z Nagasaki, Dominik Ibáñez de Erquicia i towarzysze, Piotr Kibe Kasui, Mikołaj Fukunaga Keian (prawdopodobnie pierwsza ofiara tego typu tortur). Niektóre opisy kaźni Wojciecha Męcińskiego wskazują, że był on również poddany tsurushi.

The market for the third quarter of 2017 (Q3) continued in much the same manner as the second quarter. Indices continued to remain resilient and were the best trending market. Metals started to look positive but again the bullish move has retraced back to similar levels as at the start of the quarter. This is related to the US dollar, which was weak for the majority of the quarter but strengthened in September. It was again generally a difficult period for active trades, with no continuation of trends, other than the indices, whilst currencies have been very choppy.
Equity indices were again the main trending market for Q3 but as with Q2, there were limited retracements to allow buying opportunities. The Nifty Index provided a nice opportunity and profit was taken during third quarter. Charts and Patterns continued to look for a larger correction but this has yet to materialize. The retracement in August was very shallow and did not dip to the entry levels desired to enter long positions. In contrast, the slow moves higher were not conducive for the models this trading strategy utilizes.
At the start of this quarter Charts and Patterns was looking for some buying opportunities in the soft commodities and took positions in corn and wheat. These positions resulted in losses as soft commodities have generally been very weak.
Charts and patterns also attempted to capitalize on the strength of metals during Q3 but this resulted in a loss for a palladium trade, which unfortunately finished its strong move higher earlier than anticipated.
In Forex, the quarter the AUD-NZD trade provided a nice profit, although this took a very long time to play out, but it eventually hit its target.
At the start of the fourth quarter, it is the strategy manager's view that equity indices will continue to move higher in the longer term. It remains to be seen if a larger correction will occur this year but we will be looking to buy upon any weakness.
Metals may provide a buying opportunity over the next quarter, with more strength expected in the sector and with the aim of buying upon retracements. The strategy manager is still expecting soft commodities to be bullish but confirmation in markets is required before any trades are initiated. Charts and Pattern is likely to be very selective within forex markets, with limited currency pair opportunities in scope at this moment.


Haifa was the unlikely setting for the first multinational conference on Israeli soil to plan the elimination of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. The conference was held on December 5-6, 2013. The next day, December 7, Arab group participants held a companion symposium in Ramallah, Occupied West Bank, to give Palestinians a greater voice and achieve a clearer view of group goals for a more peaceful region.
Adding to the timeliness of such a conference were current disturbances in the region. Syria was in the process of eliminating its stockpile of chemical weapons under the supervision of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the UN, even as it remained entangled in a deadly civil war; In addition, Iran's nuclear research activities were of great concern and suspicion by other nuclear powers. All the involved parties were currently engaged in intense negotiations over them. Adding to the tension was Israel's rejection of negotiation in favor of a more aggressive response.
The United States has long had a partnering relationship with Israel. When other states have condemned Israel's aggressive actions, Israel has been buffered by the United States. Recent issues concerning Iran reveal a clash between the U S and Israel. The Obama administration has chosen talks as the preferred way to discuss Iran's nuclear activities. Israel's Prime Minister, Netanyahu, rejects negotiations in favor of force.
This was an apparent attempt to scuttle Obama's stated goal of achieving a negotiated settlement in conjunction with allied world powers. On November 23, 2013 the news media announced that Iran had agreed to comply with certain measures regarding its nuclear activities. The continuing push by some in Congress to increase sanctions in defiance of the agreement pleased at least one head of state, Benjamin Netanyahu.vi Congressional solicitousness appears to have been unnecessary. Israel not only boasts one of the best equipped armies in the world, it also has a nuclear reactor at Dimona quite capable of starting a nuclear holocaust.
There is broad international support, including the peoples of the Middle East and progressive forces inside Israel, for the immediate implementation of the UN general assembly resolution from May 2010. That resolution called for holding an international conference in Helsinki under the auspices of the UN to promote the creation of a nuclear free zone in the Middle East. This plan proposed that all the countries of the region join both the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the treaty on the banning of chemical weapons. Israel has been cool to these recommendations. After substantial planning, Israel withdrew December, 2012. Israel's action was supported by the United States and criticized by the Arab participants. If all the states in the region were not going to participate there was no option but to cancel the Helsinki meeting. This was a disappointment to the Arab states.
The time was ripe for coming together over weapons of mass destruction. In addition to the furor over Iran's nuclear activities, Syria had agreed to join the 189 members of the Chemical Weapons Convention after chemical weapons, of unknown origin, were used in its ongoing civil war.
Initially they had hoped to attract international celebrities such as Archbishop Tutu, Noam Chomsky and former US President Carter. Those who did accept invitations to participate are less well known, but all have been activists in the area of non-proliferation. Jackie Cabasso, from our San Francisco Bay area was invited to be on the conference advisory board. She is a member of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), Executive Director of the Western States Legal Foundation and a long-time activist for the abolition of nuclear weapons. She is a well-informed critic of our unwelcome neighbor, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Also attending was WILPF member Odile Hugonot Haber, co-chair of WILPF's Mid-East Committee.
Prof. Tadatoshi Akiba, a former mayor of Hiroshima and a founding member of Mayors for Peace Now, urged a 2020 deadline for world nuclear disarmament. He added that no one needed to suffer as his countrymen had suffered. He added that governments had not met expectations and that civil-society groups must help governments achieve the goal.
From the tiny island of Cyprus, Georgios Koukoumas, The Progressive Party of the Working People, expressed distrust of the current nuclear powers: the European Union, the United States, and Israel. He noted that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes also presents a great threat, as in Fukushima, Japan. He expressed concern that a Middle East free of WMD could be threatened by the current nuclear powers.
On December 7, the conference moved to Ramallah in order to include Palestinians.
Betsy Wolf-Graves lives in San Josè, California, and has been a long-time licensed clinical social worker as well as a WILPF member. She has also been a serious student of events in Israel and Palestine, developing presentations on subjects such as the issue of water under Israeli occupation. She is committed to writing on events impacting Palestinians. Her other passion is working on improving local criminal-justice system through connecting with local action groups. She is always inspired by the great wisdom coming from WILPF members. Of particular note is the Middle-East Committee.

Are These Marvel's Oddest And Weirdest Characters?
in Comic Books
While the Marvel Universe continues to grow both onscreen and in the comics, there are some creations too weird, too obscure and too unusual to find their way back into the limelight. Some characters need to be forgotten and stay forgotten. Here is a list of odd, strange and sometimes insane characters that have been developed by Marvel that you probably won't see in the MCU anytime soon.
Marvel Announces Mahershala Ali As Blade
Fritz von Meyer was once a Nazi scientist. An expert in apiculture (beekeeping), he discovered highly intelligent bees whose hive was bombarded by meteorites. Fritz built a device to control the bees with, but it failed. The bees killed him and his conscience dissipated into the bees. Fritz became one with the bees and able to control them with his thoughts.
Jerome Beechman is a mutant but, instead of awesome eye beams or healing abilities, he was blessed (cursed) to look like a Mandrill ape. On the positive side, he has superhuman strength and speed. Did I also mention that he can control women with the pheromones that he secretes? Maybe looking like a Mandrill isn't so bad.
3D-Man
Charles Chandler was transformed into 3D-Man when his XF – 13 rocket plane was shot down by the Skrull. His brother Hal had to look on as Charles' body disappeared into a burst of light. Hal later discovered that an image of Charles was imprinted by the resulting radiation on each of his eyeglass lenses. Through concentration, Hal could merge these images and Charles would appear (in 3D). The radiation imbued Charles with three times the strength and speed of normal humans.
Plant-man
Samuel Smithers was a botanist's assistant. He was trying to increase the intelligence of plants so that humans could communicate with them. One faithful day a bolt of lightning struck a plant ray he had invented. Now charged with the power from the lightning bolt, Samuel could use the ray to control plants. Thus, Plant-man was born.
Bi-Beast
What is better than one orange beast? An orange beast with two heads stacked one on top of the other. Originally created by an Avian race to be their guardian when they were forced into hibernation, Bi-Beast was left to patrol the empty skies. After years of loneliness, Bi-Beast went mad and tried to kidnap Betty Ross. This, of course, brought him face to face with The Hulk. With the strength comparable with that of The Hulk and two heads (which obviously makes him smarter), Bi-Beast is a force to be reckoned with, even if he tends to look silly.
Captain Ultra
Awesome name, not so awesome costume. When Griffin Gogol's innate superhuman potential was unlocked by an extraterrestrial hypnotherapist (there is such a thing in the Marvel universe) he became Captain Ultra. With superhuman strength, speed, flight, and invulnerability (basically Superman), Captain Ultra became a force to be reckoned with. He also has a great sense of humour, which one needs when you wear a costume like this.
Frog-man
Eugene Paul Patilio is an ordinary man with an extraordinary suit. Actually, he is an ordinary man in an ordinary frog suit. The suit was invented by his father and contains powered coils which enable Frog-man to leap great distances. That is about all that there is to this Marvel villain.
You guessed it, a giant armadillo. Antonio Rodriguez was stricken with an undiagnosed disease. He was only able to find help from a criminal scientist, Dr Karl Malus. Dr Malus would only help Antonio if he was allowed to do his gene experiments on him. Antonio agreed and his genes were combined with those of an armadillo.

Nate Dryden says:
out of that list, i guess Frog-man is the most useless….
Wake up Sergio! says:
Not sure why a Marvel character would become famous after a DC film? Perhaps you mean Captain Boomerang?
Sergio Pereira says:
After the Suicide Squad film. I type faster than I brain.
Boomerang is going to become famous after the Suicide Squad. Mark my words. The next cosplay trend of 2016.

Cargolux adds Santiago de Chile to its global network
Cargolux Airlines returned to Santiago de Chile on a re-designed South American routing after the destination was reinstated in the airline's expanding global network.
The weekly connection serving Santiago will be part of an extensive South American routing that includes four other destinations in the region.
The flight will be routed Luxembourg-Viracopos-Santiago de Chile-Quito-Bogota-Aguadilla before returning to the company's home base in Luxembourg via Amsterdam.
Cargolux's vice president of the Americas, Pier Curci said: "The addition of Santiago to the network further strengthens Cargolux's position as a flourishing player on the South American market.
"It is also a testament to the importance of the region in global trade lanes, especially when it comes to perishables such as fruit and flowers."
Over the years, Santiago has increasingly become a gateway for European products destined for the Latin American market. The market demand is especially solid for sensitive equipment and highly specialised commodities such as machinery, spare parts, pharma, building material, and electronics.
Returning to Santiago de Chile contributes to enhancing Cargolux's vast service offering in the region. The scheduled all-cargo flights offer regular connections between South America and Europe, with direct links to Amsterdam and Luxembourg, as well as extensive road feeder services to additional European destinations.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Mesoblast Limited (MESO)
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP
November 4, 2020, 12:00 PM ·4 min read
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") reminds investors of the upcoming December 7, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Mesoblast Limited ("Mesoblast" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MESO) securities between April 16, 2019 and October 1, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period").
If you suffered a loss on your Mesoblast investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/mesoblast-limited/.

Mesoblast develops allogeneic cellular medicines using its proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy platform. Its lead product candidate, RYONCIL (remestemcel-L), is an investigational therapy comprising mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow. In February 2018, the Company announced that remestemcel-L met its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial to treat children with steroid refractory acute graft versus host disease ("aGVHD").
In early 2020, Mesoblast completed its rolling submission of its Biologics License Application ("BLA") with the FDA to secure marketing authorization to commercialize remestemcel-L for children with steroid refractory aGVHD.
On August 11, 2020, the FDA released briefing materials for its Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee ("ODAC") meeting to be held on August 13, 2020. Therein, the FDA stated that Mesoblast provided post hoc analyses of other studies "to further establish the appropriateness of 45% as the null Day-28 ORR" for its primary endpoint. The briefing materials stated that, due to design differences between these historical studies and Mesoblast's submitted study, "it is unclear that these study results are relevant to the proposed indication."
On this news, the Company's share price fell $6.09, or approximately 35%, to close at $11.33 per share on August 11, 2020, on unusually heavy trading volume.
On October 1, 2020, Mesoblast disclosed that it had received a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") from the FDA regarding its marketing application for remestemcel-L for treatment of SR-aGVHD in pediatric patients. According to the CRL, the FDA recommended that the Company "conduct at least one additional randomized, controlled study in adults and/or children to provide further evidence of the effectiveness of remestemcel-L for SR-aGVHD." The CRL also "identified a need for further scientific rationale to demonstrate the relationship of potency measurements to the product's biologic activity."
On this news, the Company's stock fell $6.56, or 35%, to close at $12.03 per share on October 2, 2020, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) comparative analyses between Mesoblast's Phase 3 trial and three historical studies did not support the effectiveness of remestemcel-L for steroid refractory aGVHD due to design differences between the four studies; (2) as a result, the FDA was reasonably likely to require further clinical studies; (3) as a result, the commercialization of remestemcel-L in the U.S. was likely to be delayed; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Glass-ionomer dental cements (GICs) are aesthetic direct restorative materials with anticariogenic activity. Glass-ionomers are composed of alumino-silicate glass powder and poly acrylic acid liquid. The significant characteristics of GICs among restorative materials are their ability to bond to moist tooth structure without any pre-treatment and to provide a prolonged period of fluoride release, which prevents subsequent tooth decay (caries). These characteristics, along with the materials' acceptable aesthetics and biocompatibility, make them popular and desirable for use in medical and dental applications. However, GICs exhibit poor mechanical qualities and moisture sensitivity. To improve their mechanical and physical qualities, the GIC powders have undergone extensive formulation and modification. This paper provides an overview of various fillers used to enhance the mechanical and physical properties of GICs.

Caring for your hardwood floors can be a challenge. Many homes have high traffic areas that can wear down quicker. Items like heels, tennis shoes, furniture and pets can wreck havoc on your wood floors. Many times people take care of their floors on their own, but it is important to remember that finding hardwood floor cleaning services is important.
Homeowners will commonly wash and vacuum their floors while cleaning their home. Generally this is fine, our tips to hardwood floor care can be an easy and effective way to clean sometimes. Yet keep in mind that if a professional has never cleaned your floors, you should look into a hardwood floor cleaning service provider. After months of traffic, dust and dirt, your floors will reduce in shine and may be harder to clean in the long run. A professional should treat hardwood floors once a year. Dirt and sand particles can get stuck within the cracks and crevices of your floors. This can cause further damage to the binding of floors as well as create greater scratches to the surface. Many generic-cleaning products can leave a film that actually attracts further dust and dirt to settle. Make sure to find hardwood floor cleaning services to take extra care to your floors. Not only do you want your floors to look great year round, they are also an investment in your home.
Many companies claim to treat and clean hardwood floors. If you are not careful and hire the wrong company, your floors may end up worse than before. Leading hardwood floor cleaning services like ServiceMaster Clean are providers that can be trusted. There are ServiceMaster Clean franchises located all over the U.S. so you shouldn't have a problem finding a provider.
There are certain steps professionals take when cleaning your hardwood floors. First, they start with removing loose dirt and dust from the surface of your floors. Next, high-speed rotary discs are used with large specialty cleaning pads to lift any dirt from cracks and openings. This allows the machine to pick up the dirt without scratching your floors further. Finally, a polish should be applied to the surface to bring the shine back to your hardwood floors.
Keep in mind that if your floors have not been cleaned or refinished in years it may be a good idea to have the cleaning service refinish them. This process will help protect your floors form future elements. Like stated before, your hardwood floors should be an important part of your home. If kept clean, they will help the value of your home in the long run.
Reading reviews on companies can always help with the hunting process. Current reviews and testimonials will help you better understand the companies you are looking for.

Welcome to the Mines of Spain 100! This is a true Midwest trail race set in the beautiful bluffs, prairies and forests of the driftless region of eastern Iowa amongst the scenic setting of the Mississippi river valley! The race is held on a ~20 mile course comprised of a wide variety of terrain that will both challenge and inspire runners with its eclectic mixture of steep technical single track, wide rolling dirt and prairie double track with a multitude of other fun and scenic sections mixed in! This is a course designed to be equally suitable for first timers or veterans alike.
Our mission is to provide an ultra-marathon event that is grassroots in feel yet meticulously organized with every effort being made to provide the most rewarding experience for the runners, their crews, race volunteers and every single person involved. Our continued year-round goal is to support the area trail organizations and groups that oversee the Mines of Spain in whatever capacity we can including a substantial financial contribution from the race proceeds going directly to the park to aid in funding for future trail maintenance and projects.
Thank you and we hope to see you at the Mines in October!

Q: Meaning of Android Studio error: Not annotated parameter overrides @NonNull parameter I'm trying out Android Studio. Upon creating a new project and adding a default onSaveInstanceState method to the create MyActivity class, when I try to commit the code to Git, I get a strange error I don't understand. The code is this:

The error I get is this:

If I try to change the method signature to protected void onSaveInstanceState(@NotNull Bundle outState), then the IDE tells me it can't resolve the symbol NotNull.
What do I need to do to get rid of the warning?

A: In addition to the other answers, the @NonNull (and it's opponent, @Nullable) annotation annotates a field, parameter or method return type. IntelliJ and thus Android Studio can warn you for possible NullPointerExceptions at compile time.
An example is best here:
@NonNull private String myString = "Hello";

@Nullable private String myOtherString = null;

@NonNull
public Object doStuff() {
    System.out.println(myString.length); // No warning
    System.out.println(doSomething(myString).length); // Warning, the result might be null.

    doSomething(myOtherString); // Warning, myOtherString might be null.

    return myOtherString; // Warning, myOtherString might be null.
}

@Nullable
private String doSomething(@NonNull String a) {
    return a.length > 1 ? null : a; // No warning
}

These annotations do not alter runtime behavior (although I have experimented with this), but serve as a tool for preventing bugs.
Note that the message you received was not an error, but just a warning, which is safe to ignore, if you choose to. The alternative is to annotate the parameter yourself as well, as Android Studio suggests:
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(@NonNull Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}

A: A number of useful support annotations were recently added in the Android support library. Their primary role is to annotate properties of various methods and parameters to help catch bugs. For example, if you pass null value to a parameter that is marked with the NotNull annotation you will get a warning.
The annotations can be added to your project with Gradle by adding the following dependency:
dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:20.0.0'
}

You are getting the warning because the Bundle parameter is marked with the @NotNull annotation and by overriding the method the annotation gets hidden. The right thing to do is to add the annotation to the overriden method's parameter as well.
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(@NonNull Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}

A: It's an annotation, but the correct name is NonNull:
protected void onSaveInstanceState(@NonNull Bundle outState)

(And also)
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;

The purpose is to allow the compiler to warn when certain assumptions are being violated (such as a parameter of a method that should always have a value, as in this particular case, although there are others). From the Support Annotations documentation:

The @NonNull annotation can be used to indicate that a given parameter
  can not be null.
If a local variable is known to be null (for example because some
  earlier code checked whether it was null), and you pass that as a
  parameter to a method where that parameter is marked as @NonNull, the
  IDE will warn you that you have a potential crash.

They are tools for static analysis. Runtime behavior is not altered at all.

In this case, the particular warning is that the original method you're overriding (in Activity) has a @NonNull annotation on the outState parameter, but you did not include it in the overriding method. Just adding it should fix the issue, i.e.
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(@NonNull Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}

Кинофанта́стика — направление и жанр художественной кинематографии, который можно охарактеризовать повышенным уровнем условности. Образы, события и антураж фантастических фильмов часто намеренно отстранены от обыденной реальности — это может делаться как для достижения специфических художественных задач, добиться которых создателям фильма удобнее средствами фантастики, чем средствами реалистического кино, так и просто для развлечения зрителя (последнее характерно прежде всего для жанрового кино). Характер условности зависит от конкретного направления или жанра — научная фантастика, фэнтези, фильм ужасов, фантасмагория, — однако все они могут широко пониматься как кинофантастика.

Эволюция кинофантастики во многом следовала за эволюцией гораздо более динамично развивающейся фантастической литературы. Однако кинематограф с самого начала обладал свойством визуальности, которого письменная литература практически лишена. Движущееся изображение воспринимается зрителем как достоверное, существующее здесь и сейчас, причём ощущение достоверности не зависит от того, насколько фантастично разворачивающееся на экране действие. Это свойство восприятия зрителем кинематографа приобрело особое значение после появления спецэффектов.

В XXI веке кинофантастика — один из самых популярных и прибыльных жанров кино. Фантастические фильмы, такие как «Аватар», «Звёздные войны: Пробуждение Силы» и «Мир юрского периода», составляют большинство в числе самых кассовых блокбастеров в истории.

По кинофантастике и смежным сферам существуют номинации в 14 наградах: премия по хоррору «Черное перо» (видеоролик), премия «Хьюго» (фильмы и телесериалы), премия читателей журнала «Science Fiction Chronicle», премия Лорда Рутвена, премия Брэма Стокера, Небьюла, Британская премия фэнтези, Балрог, Зал славы научной фантастики и фэнтези, Аэлита, немецкая фантастическая премия, японская премия Сэйун, российская «Сигма-Ф», 12 номинаций в премии «Итоги года» от журнала «Мир Фантастики» и премия «Парсес» (видео-формат).

Связь кинофантастики и мифологии
Кинофантастика активно использует мифологию технической эры. Мифология — один из основных структурных компонентов кинофантастики, она играет более важную роль, чем, собственно идеи, пришедшие из науки. Датский философ и фантастиковед Пер Шельд в своей книге «Андроиды, гуманоиды и другие фольклорные монстры» отметил это, как отличие фантастического кино от научно-фантастической литературы, которая всё-таки сохраняет связь с наукой. Мария Галина обратила внимание, что опора на древние мифологические образы и архетипы характерна скорее для массовой жанровой кинофантастики, чем для элитарного арт-хауса. К примеру, океан Соляриса не опирается на какие-либо фольклорные представления, и этот фильм Тарковского так и не стал частью социального контекста эпохи, в то время как название другого фантастического фильма Андрея Арсеньевича — Сталкер превратилось с одной стороны — в имя нарицательное, а с другой — в продаваемый бренд массовой культуры. Это можно объяснить тем, что враждебное пространство, которое можно умилостивить за счёт ритуалов, таких как разбрасывание гаек — архетипический образ, вполне традиционный для мифологии.

История

Кинофантастика 1990-х годов

Неоготика
В 1990-х оформилось и обрело силу совершенно новое направление в фантастическом кинематографе, которое начали называть «неоготикой» («новой готикой»). Фильмы этого направления обычно использовали мотивы и антураж классической готики, однако изощрённое мастерство операторов и художников создавало на экране совершенно новое эстетическое пространство, которое невозможно соотнести с прежними готическими фильмами, тяготевшими к изобразительному аскетизму и нуару. В неоготику влились витиеватость фэнтезийных иллюстраций Фразетты и Уэлана, изобразительный фотогламур, художественные находки авторов паропанка и возможности современных технологий создания спецэффектов.

Неоготика, взаимодействуя с усиливающимися традициями экранизаций комиксов, вскоре породила ещё одно направление, для которого характерные для готики мотивы сочетаются с современным (в основном) антуражем. Взаимодействие этих эстетик эффектно продемонстрировали «Ворон» и «Интервью с вампиром», другие примеры такого кино — фильмы «Блэйд» (Blade, 1998) и «Другой мир» (Underworld, 2003).

«Виртуальность»
По мере того, как возникший в 1980-х годах киберпанк закреплялся и становился общепризнанным направлением в литературной фантастике и массовой культуре вообще, интерес к его образному ряду стал проявлять и кинематограф. Первым среди крупнобюджетных фильмов, сознательно сделанных в рамках этого направления, стал фильм Роберта Лонго «Джонни-мнемоник» (1995), поставленный по мотивам одноимённого рассказа классика киберпанка Уильяма Гибсона. Из-за целого ряда компромиссных и половинчатых решений, продиктованных коммерческим характером проекта, фильм, в отличие от оригинального рассказа, получился недостаточно радикальным и был раскритикован поклонниками киберпанка и весьма сдержанно воспринят массовым зрителем. Тем не менее, сейчас этот фильм признаётся существенной вехой в жанровом кинематографе, а его влияние на последующие более успешные проекты заметно хотя бы в том, что исполнивший в нём главную роль Киану Ривз был впоследствии приглашён на роль Нео в кинотрилогии «Матрица».

(CN) – Citibank will pay $100 million in a multistate action to settle claims it manipulated a key interest rate during the global financial crisis that resulted in massive losses to investors, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced Friday.
California, one of 42 states to sue Citibank for manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) – the rate at which banks lend money to one another and the rate used to determine interest rates for financing products – will get $12 million of the settlement funds.
The funds will go to government agencies and nonprofits in the state that lost money due to Citibank's conduct.
"As a result of this settlement, Californians will have more money for hospitals, water districts, local transit and other public services – money that would have otherwise lined undeserving pockets," Becerra said in a statement.
During the financial crisis in 2008, large international banks manipulated LIBOR to bolster their finances and dodge bad publicity.
They did so by lowering the LIBOR rates they submitted each day to Thomson Reuters, which calculated the daily LIBOR for each currency based on the middle 50 percent of submissions. The daily LIBORs were used to determine interest rates for financing products around the world, including government and corporate bonds.
Mortgages, credit cards, student loans and other consumer lending products often use LIBOR as a reference rate.
Instead of submitting rates reflecting Citibank's true borrowing cost, Citibank repeatedly submitted lower LIBOR scores "to be seen, but not heard anywhere at all in the market," according to an internal Citibank communication quoted in Friday's settlement agreement.
"I know it's difficult but just try to avoid being highest, no need to be lowest," an unnamed New York-based Citibank manager wrote in a 2008 instant message to a LIBOR submitter, according to the agreement.
A month later, the LIBOR submitter wrote to a Citibank employee: "The main issue we've got is the huge fear factor of anybody posting high LIBORs … What sort of things that were published to the world would be construed as, you know, Citibank were in trouble … so there is a little bit of internal political pressures for us to be seen, but not heard anywhere at all in the market," according to the agreement.
California serves on the executive committee of the LIBOR multistate action, which began investigating LIBOR misconduct in 2012. The states have also settled with Barclays for $100 million and Deutsche Bank for $220 million, for a total of $420 million.
About $350 trillion of notional swaps and $10 trillion of loans were indexed to LIBOR as of 2012, according to the British Bankers' Association. LIBOR is also used to settle interest rate futures and options contracts on many of the world's major futures and options exchanges.
Citibank Deputy General Counsel and Senior Vice President Adam Meshel represented Citibank in the settlement.

How does civil society feature in wide-scale transformation processes to socio-technical systems like energy? In this book chapter, Adrian Smith explors ways of addressing this question by drawing upon concepts and frameworks from literatures on civil society, social movements, and socio-technical transitions. Whilst it is clear civil society is always involved, and in important ways, it is also apparent that such involvement isit is important to remember that it is never a singular, 'manageable' presence. If it were, then it would cease to be civil society. The edited book, Governing the energy transition, is by Derk Loorbach and Geert Verbong and is published by Routledge.

Jayapal ignores community introduces resolution on Kashmir
Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal ignored the voices of the diaspora from across the country as she went ahead with her pre-announced plans to introduce a resolution on Kashmir in the House of Representatives, agitated community leaders said. The Chennai-born first-ever Indian-American women elected to the House of Representatives has been one of the few lawmakers, who are mostly from the Democratic party, raising their voices against the Indian government s move on Jammu and Kashmir. Yesterday, I introduced a bipartisan House Resolution with @Rep_Watkins to urge the Indian government to end restrictions on communications and mass detentions in Jammu and Kashmir as swiftly as possible and preserve religious freedom for all residents, she said in a series of tweets late Saturday. Jayapal, 54, started her vocal criticism of situation in Jammu and Kashmir from September 2019, several weeks after the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution on August 5. The ...

how to come in single vertical column when user move desktop to mobile version

A:
why white space come

Bootstrap, by default, adds a 20px margin below the navigation to prevent your next element from sticking to it. I suggest you move your green background color to body instead of your next element. That way, your page gets a uniform green (avoids the white gap) and your items are properly spaced away from the nav.

what to use in bootstrap when it display on desktop it show three item in row as show in desktop image below and if it display on mobile device it display vertically as show in image Mobile Item

Bootstrap has a 12-column grid system. It uses the convention of col-*-* where the first asterisk denotes a "break" (when the grid styling changes, depending on page width) and the second asterisk is the column size (1-12, 12 being full-width). Since you need 3 items, then you need a width of 4 for each of the 3 items.

Common: 'We Got To Do More' About Chicago Violence
The hip-hop star is pushing for educational efforts and wants rappers to join the cause.

Common surprises the audience.
Grammy-award winning hip hop artist Common, who has openly worried about the violence in Chicago, was in his hometown Friday to help celebrate the city's music scene when he was confronted with a brutal reminder of what he's been talking about: a story about a hail of gunfire that wounded 13 people.
See latest videos, charts and news
"It makes me think I got to do more; we got to do more," he said in an interview with The Associated Press after giving a speech as the keynote speaker at the Chicago Music Summit, a conference to help local musicians and music professionals with their careers.
Police say Thursday night's shooting appears to be gang related. For the 41-year-old Common, that underscores concerns that the edgy rap music of the generation of rappers that came behind him is not only providing the soundtrack for gangs, but might just be helping to fuel the fire of gang violence.
"To decide to take someone's life, I don't think they let a rap song determine that," he said, adding that rap artists simply reflect of the violence of the streets, and don't cause it. At the same time, he said, fans of young rappers, whose music provides a window into a violent lifestyle, are "influenced by that energy and take it the wrong way."
Common has thought about it enough to once suggest a "peace summit" with Chief Keef, a younger Chicago rapper whose music includes references to weapons and who was arrested after pointing a gun at police officers and after a video showed him firing a semi-automatic rifle at a gun range.
In fact, rap music made its way into Thursday's shooting. A relative of a 3-year-old boy who was shot in the face said the child's uncle was an aspiring rapper who was fatally shot in Chicago this month.
Such a link is not surprising to Grammy-winning rap artist, Che "Rhymefest" Smith. He said he believes that at the very least aspiring rappers who are living in poor neighborhoods see the display of a violent gang lifestyle as their route to riches and fame.
"What you get with a lot of young artists is if they gang bang on YouTube, pull guns and threaten someone else, this will give them a million YouTube views or 80,000 Twitter followers overnight," said Rhymefest, a Chicago resident who once ran for a seat on the City Council. "They see it as a check, a way to get paid and this way out of poverty."
Common said the key to ending the cycle of violence that rap music has been linked to for years is more educational programs and other initiatives, and that rap artists should help those programs in any way they can.
At the same time, Common, who has his own foundation that exposes disadvantaged young people to the creative arts, said that while he still believes a "peace summit" would be effective, it is only a first step.
"There has to be a consistent follow through," he said. "Young people … some of them may not be in a place where they can say, `OK, I'm going to stop (violent behavior)'" he said. "It may be a process. You have to deal with that."

The ruling All Progressives Congress on Saturday defeated opposition Peoples Democratic Party in the two polling units located inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja during the chairmanship and councillorship elections held in the Federal Capital Territory.
In the two polling units- 021 and 022, APC garnered 290 while PDP got132 votes in the chairmanship election.
A further breakdown of the figure showed that APC got 162 votes in PU 021 and 128 votes in PU 022 while PDP got 70 votes in PU 021 and 62 votes in PU 022.
For the councilorship election, APC garnered 273 votes while PDP got 151 votes from the two polling units.
The election inside the Presidential Villa, like in other parts of the FCT like Asokoro, Maitama and Garki areas among others, witnessed low turnout of voters.
As of 11 a.m., three hours after voting started, the 14 voting points located on a playing field inside the Presidential Villa were devoid of huge voters that participated in the February 23 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Some were busy gisting, some others were seen glued to their mobile phones while others were taking a nap.
Only a handful of ballot papers were seen inside the 24 ballot boxes placed in front of the voting units, an indication that only a few people had voted as of the time.

The opioid task force of Kankakee County recently expanded its free Narcan training to community organizations, businesses owners and individuals in Kankakee, Grundy, Kendall and Iroquois counties. The training is provided by the Kankakee County Health Department.
The opioid task force Narcan (Naloxone) distribution program gives Narcan kits to law enforcement personnel, first responders, community organizations and individuals who may find themselves in a position to save the life of someone at risk of an opioid overdose.
During the one-hour training session, participants receive an overview of the opioid epidemic and the process of addiction. Opioids are natural or synthetic substances that act on the brain. The most common types of opioids are heroin, vicodin, oxycontin, codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone and oxycodone.
In 2017, more than 73,000 people across the U.S. died from a drug overdose. Overdoses involving opioids killed more than 47,000 people in 2017 and 36 percent of those deaths involved prescription opioids. In 2017 in Kankakee County, there were 638 cases of opioid overdoses, and 56 were fatal. In 2018, the number of deaths related to overdose dropped to 29. Narcan was cited as one reason for the decrease in deaths.
Narcan is a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist, meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of other opioids. It can very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription opioid pain medications, said Wilson.
During training, participants receive a Narcan kit containing one dose of nasal Narcan, a pair of rubber gloves, a rescue breathing mask, a Narcan use quick guide and substance use and mental health resource guides.
All laypeople can be taught to recognize an overdose and administer Narcan during an overdose emergency, Wilson said.
The Drug Overdose Prevention program legislation passed in 2015 enabled nonmedical persons to administer Narcan to persons experiencing an opioid overdose. The law permits any person to become trained and to obtain, possess and administer Narcan to any person who appears to be suffering an opioid-related overdose. In addition, those administering Narcan are protected from civil liability.
The one-hour training includes reviewing signs of someone who is high and signs of an overdose. In the event of an opioid overdose, and once Narcan is administered, rescue breathing can be conducted until first responders arrive.
Anyone who administers Narcan is encouraged to fill out a reporting form included in the kit.
Life Compass Church in Kankakee recently hosted a training session and more than 75 attended. Two-thirds of those attending were not church members but rather those from across the community interested in the topic.
The GFWC Women's Club of Kankakee and Hippocrates Medical Clinic will host an impact of opioid misuse panel discussion and Narcan training on Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Civic Auditorium, Kankakee. There will be presentations by Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner, Kankakee County State's Attorney Jim Rowe and Hippocrates Medical Clinic's Dr. Terrill Applewhite. During the event, the opioid task force of Kankakee County will provide free overdose death prevention and Narcan training to participants.
The Kankakee County opioid task force was founded in 2012 by the Kankakee County Coroner, State's Attorney, Sheriff's Department, Riverside Healthcare and the Kankakee County Health Department as a response to the significant rise in opioid overdose deaths. This task force has evolved into a multicounty collaborative to address the opioid epidemic in Kankakee, Grundy, Iroquois and Kendall counties.
The Kankakee County Health Department received a State Targeted Response Grant through the Illinois Department of Public Health to offer the training. The first year of the grant focused on training law enforcement and first responders to administer Narcan.
This year, the grant, now called the State Opioid Response Grant, focuses on getting laypersons trained in administering Narcan.

Saarinen Retrospective: Shaping the...
May 2, 2008 Mid-Century Modern
Saarinen Retrospective: Shaping the Future at the National Building Musuem; Begins May 3
Eero Saarinen's future was, sadly, cut short. The modernist architect and designer of some of the most recognizable mid-century modern furniture designs (think Tulip chair) passed away at the age of 51 from a brain tumor. In his short life, Saarinen, who immigrated to the United States from Finland in 1923 when he was 13, designed some of the most iconic examples of American architecture: the St. Louis Arch, the main terminal at Dulles (seen at left circa 1963) and the former TWA terminal at JFK airport.
Beginning tomorrow and running until Aug. 23, the National Building Museum will present Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future, the first retrospective of Saarinen's career. The exhibition will feature full-scale building models, never-before seen drawings, furniture, photographs, films, and other artifacts. The exhibit marks the first public unveiling of the architect's complete archives–the largest repository of Saarinen-related material in the world–which was donated to Yale University in 2002.
Saarinen's "untimely death—coupled with the extraordinary diversity of his work–made Saarinen a problematic figure for critics and historians, and as a result, the architect's many contributions were widely overlooked for much of the past four decades," the museum says in announcing the exhibit, which "makes a powerful case for recognizing Saarinen as an exceptionally innovative figure whose work has exerted a profound and continuous influence on architectural theory and practice for more than a half-century."
If you feel inspired to buy something by Saarinen, you're in luck. Knoll is having its annual sale from May 2 to 11. It's only 10 percent off, so I hope you have been saving up.

The wire part you will probably get the solution from the ship shay even makes a reference of it. The vella part thing of the food room and the trash robot and play around with that.
Where are the hints for how to modify the map to escape the red hanger? Think I miss something with that star chart. Proferable I would like to have hints on how to solve it not the solution.
Can someone give me any hint how to solve the rope untieing puzzle. Don't wanna have the all out sollution just something to help me further. currently I got the diagram but I can't seem to the right one and how to tell it to the dude how to untie.
You probably don't notice it is because only the animation movement is 15 fps while the rest in the game is 60 fps. It's probably 15 fps because thats closer how the animations are created by the developer while at 60 fps a lot of the movement will need to be calculated and might look less good then it could be unless they would spend even more time on the animations. A lot of games have animation system locked at lower fps. Think animations are often locked in games at 30 fps while the rest of the game is 60 or higher.
I'm sure they are not going to do an early beta again. That was so misused by the press and other things.
The entire gamergate movement and everything I seen from it is just crap. Yes woman should be treated correctly but the entire gamergate is just a big flamefest that did nothing but make the gaming community even worse then before. And that is the biggest reason the entire gamergate movement should be joked and rediculed.
That's irrelevant. Any 32-bit OS limits the available RAM to less that 4GB. Besides, a game like this requiring 4GB of RAM is just poor optimization. Any computer with less then 4 GB is way too ready for replacement. It's time to drop 10 year old hardware. On windows 7 4GB is minimum recommendation doesn't matter what game the OS just needs that. You cannot run a stable win 7 and do about anything on that computer with less then that or you pc will be very slow because of paging.
I don't need patches on my OS to be honest. Also Win 7 support continues to 2020. That's long enough for them to hopefully make a PC OS again. They failed to do that with 8 & now 10. If I hear the word "app" from them for a PC OS I am instantly disinterested. And XP was never really good it's unstable compared to windows 7 and misses a lot of features which make windows 7 a lot faster. Windows 10 is complete PC OS again a lot of the tablet stuff is removed from the default mode. And for games Windows 10 is gonna be really good when games are starting to support DX12 which will give a big performance boost.
Just remember Win XP is completely dead. It doesn't get any security update anymore so any pc you have with XP you should not hang it on the internet or suspect big security riscs with anything you do. In my country even banks have said if you do internet banking and you use XP and money gets stolen from you banks wont return it because it's your problem.
Yes. Through your Broken Age Humble Bundle page. (It rhymes! Ha!) Hmm not for me The 30 dollar kickstarter tier was the one you could get the download videos for.
I wouldn't say GTA was mysognyst, but rather just incredibly purile. And that is the fun part about GTA if you don't like it dont play it. It's as simple as that.
The biggest problem about that 200 makes everything feel too easy for you is the current unbalanced leveling booster building. They already said they where going to nerf it. Because they don't mean you to be level 9-10 yet at year 200 that's why all the battles are too easy.
Maybe doing it as option random start group or that standard at the higher difficulty level.
You need at least some crucibles I think it is those training centers with high level char in too boost the babies. And also the higher level your regents are the higher level the children will become. But at the moment the game has only 1 diffeculty and the game is challanging and there is a lot of ways you can shoot yourself.

HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT (HRS) QUESTIONNAIRE The Health Risk Assessment (HRA) questionnaire provides participants with an evaluation of their current health and quality of life. The assessment promotes health awareness by reviewing participants' lifestyle practices and highlighting health issues that could be impacted by personal choices. This survey can be used to assess your health risk... Absolute CVD risk assessment combines risk factors to calculate the probability that an individual will develop a cardiovascular event (eg myocardial infarction, stroke) or other vascular disease within a specified time frame (usually five years).
