Nestled just west of Austin's city limits is Bee Cave, Texas. The area derived its name from the colonies of Mexican honeybees in limestone caves that lived near the banks of Barton Creek and Little Barton Creek that encompassed a large area of western Travis County. Today, Bee Cave is known for its mix of old and new neighborhoods, laid-back atmosphere and makes for a relaxing escape from the hustle of downtown Austin, which is just a 30 minute commute.
Bee Cave offers a serene Hill Country lifestyle. At the heart of the community is the Hill Country Galleria on Highway 71, home to some of the best shopping that the Hill Country has to offer. Set outside, the hot-spot is 152 acres of shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Spend an hour, or an entire day, at the Galleria to unwind and practice a little retail therapy. Enjoy the movie theater, Whole Foods, and many restaurant choices such as the County Line BBQ on the lake that is nearby.
Although Bee Cave is a small town, it never fails to serve up big experiences. As you drive west towards Bee Cave, you'll notice the stunning views of the surrounding Hill Country. Plenty of parks and golf courses are laid out to make the most of the landscape, so be sure to stop by Hill Country Golf & Guitar for a show and a round or two of mini-golf, or Falconhead Golf Club to swing away at one of the best courses in the area. If you want to enjoy the more artistic side of the town, take a stroll around Bee Cave Sculpture Park. The park expands over 7 acres of gorgeous Hill Country terrain showcasing both permanent and seasonal sculptures. A children's playarium, a pond, expansive oak trees and numerous wildlife run-ins makes this sculpture garden a must-try. If want to experience the Hill Country, but don't want to miss out on Austin's live music scene, stop by the One World Theatre for dinner and a show. Wanting more of a concert feel? The Backyard Live Oak Amphitheater is best known for its intimate, natural setting and has hosted names such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Willie Nelson. Catch an outdoor concert here to get your music fix.
The friendly residents, safe neighborhoods, many amenities and shopping make Bee Cave a great place for families. There are a lot of family activities throughout the year and a lot of Texas and American pride events. Access to work or the airport is easy. Bee Cave has its own excellent library as well.
Students in the Bee Cave area are served by the Eanes or Lake Travis ISD schools such as Lake Pointe Elementary, Bee Cave Elementary, Lake Travis Middle School and Lake Travis High School. This 'destination district' is known for top-notch academics, as well as home to the six-time State Football Champs.

"Python?", you say? Python is a programming language. You don't need to know much about Python to follow along, but you do need to know how to install packages — and have Python installed. To do that, see our "Software Guides" page.
The internet is full of useful information. Some of it is distributed across 20 different pages, some of it is nestled in complex tables that test the limits of copy-and-paste, but crucially it is not where you want it to be: in a neat file on your computer.
Python can solve this problem.
The first step is downloading things — pictures, PDFs, webpages, or data files. In the Bad Old Days, the tool for the job was urllib2. As we near the end of the world here in 2012, however, we should all be using Requests (HTTP for Humans).
Finally, we can download a whole HTML file using Requests, and use another Python package to parse the page and process our data.
If you ask a programmer friend how to get data out of a webpage, they might tell you to use "regular expressions". Unfortunately, most of the websites on the internet are not written in anything approaching a "regular" way — we would need "highly-irregular nonsense expressions". This kind of bad HTML is politely called "tag soup", which is why the tool to parse them is called BeautifulSoup instead. Note the warning that a new version has been released recently, and some guides may be out of date. This one isn't. (Yet).
Here we use the same method — "CSS selector syntax" — to specify which parts of the web page we're interested in as we would when styling a webpage in the first place, or writing jQuery code. Yay for reusable skills.
make some charts with scipy.
For the moment, though, we'll just cover storing it as a file. Adopt a chunk of the internet today!
A corollary of Murphy's law is that the most useful information on the internet is trapped in the most unimaginably byzantine and ugly websites. From trash collection schedules to election results to Twitter, there's a world of "almost-there" data to be re-processed, analysed and made more useful.
It's great that some systems have been officially opening up under the banner of "Open Data", but with techniques like the above we're not limited by others' inertia, or their limited budgets. If you can see something on a screen — with very few exceptions — there's already a way of grabbing it in a useful format.
Data Wrangling has excellent if abbreviated resources on Python.

Q: Load database data into asp.net page I would like to know how to load data from a database into a asp.net form.
So I use code to get the data via a query "Select * From ... Where ... = ..."
Then I load it into a reader and
While (reader.read)
{   string sProductName = Convert.ToString(reader[1]);
    /*
    Now I need to display this name and all the other data
    (selling price, etc) on the form
    But as I do not know how many products there will be it (the form) has to change
    as the database information does (more products get added or removed).
    */
}

I do not know how to do that last part. How to make the data found display on screen.
Thanks !
The data I need to display is a the Product Name, the Product Description and the Product Selling Price underneath headings with those names thats all.

A: For SQL Database,
Take gridview control  with id="gridview1" (whatever you like but use same id in code)
    SqlConnection sql= new SqlConnection("your data base connection");
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from your_table_name", sql);
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    da.Fill(ds);

        gridview1.DataSource = ds;
        gridview1.DataBind();

A:          SqlConnection sql= new SqlConnection("your data base connection");
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from your_table_name", sql);
        sql.open();
        SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

        while (dr.Read())
        {
            Textbox1.Text=dr[0].ToString();
            Textbox2.Text=dr[1].ToString();
            Textbox3.Text=dr[2].ToString();
            ......................;

        }
      con.close();

NOTE:
      While working with datareader sql connection must be open.

I use textboxes to show the values.You can use where ever it is necessary .dr[0].ToString(),.dr[1].ToString() .....Contains the values of database table

Still on the Lam, John McAfee Says He's Now In Disguise
Author: Joshuah BearmanJoshuah Bearman
Photo: Brian Finke
It doesn't sound like much of a disguise, but John McAfee is doing his best to change his appearance as he continues to evade the police in Belize.
In a case that seems to get more bizarre by the day, the 67-year-old has continued to call me with semi-hourly updates. The latest disclosure: He claims to have dyed his hair, eyebrows, beard, and mustache jet black.
"I have modified my appearance in a radical fashion," McAfee said, "I'll probably look like a murderer, unfortunately."
The American antivirus pioneer is wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of Gregory Faull, 52, an American expatriate and neighbor of McAfee's. They both have beachside properties on the island of Ambergris Caye, about 20 miles off the Belize coast. Faull was found dead, face up in a pool of blood, in his villa Sunday morning, shot once in the back of the head. Faull had complained about the barking of McAfee's dogs – McAfee kept 11 at his beachside compound – and four of those dogs were poisoned Friday night.
When police arrived at McAfee's property Sunday afternoon to question him, McAfee hid, he says, burying himself in sand and covering his head with a cardboard box. He says he spent 18 hours hiding on his property before slipping away.
He has been running ever since, he says, riding in boats, huddling on the floorboards of taxis, sleeping in a bed that he said was infested with lice.
Since going into hiding, McAfee has repeatedly denied that he had anything to do with Faull's death. He says that he does not want to give himself up to authorities because he is afraid they will torture or kill him.
He's convinced that, while he's away from his compound, the police will plant incriminating evidence unrelated to Faull's murder. "The police have been to my house seven times," he said. "I expect them to uncover a cache of fully automatic weapons, four tons of cocaine. Maybe a Soviet submarine."
The authorities, meanwhile appear to be trying to put pressure on McAfee by arresting friends and associates, according to two sources (who are not McAfee). Since Sunday, police have detained one of McAfee's bodyguards, William Mulligan; his groundskeeper, Cassian Chavaria; and a local taxi driver, Cesar Trapp.
McAfee said he is outraged by the detentions: "This is exactly what happened to Soviet dissidents when Stalin took power. If they could not catch the man himself, they rounded up all of his friends."

MediaInfoline December 27, 2018
Celebrating 25 years in existence, National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has initiated 'Prosperity Day' to celebrate the successes of the trading community and initiate a dialogue with prospective investors. NSE has also revamped their logo to symbolise the marigold flower and signify prosperity for all.

eSports And Casual Games Race To The Blockchain
We're by no means oracles at Crypto Briefing, but the future usage of cryptocurrency and blockchain in the video game industry looks as inevitable as the marriage of internet and gaming.
It wasn't that long ago that most video games were played offline, with online modes only sometimes being haphazardly added on. These days, online gaming rules the roost. Even more specifically, mobile gaming is predicted by Newzoo's 2018 Global Games Market Report to account for over half of all gaming revenue.
Meanwhile, Newzoo's 2018 Global eSports Market Report predicts approximately $900 million in revenues generated by eSports. The viewership for professional gaming is around 380 million people watching over 46 billion minutes of Twitch streams every month alone.
But will it be the blockchain or cryptocurrency that's accepted by the video game industry first, and will it be casual games or esports that powers it?
The answer lies in the business model powering the gaming industry's revenue.
Crypto Meets Esports
Cryptocurrencies are already making headway into Esports. The United Masters League has announced its backing for the first professional gaming tournament with a crypto pot. Sponsored by Unikrn, a global gambling and Esports brand backed by Mark Cuban, players in the ChallengeMe tournament will vie for prizes totalling $290,000, to be paid out in the company's native cryptocurrency, Unikoin Gold (UKG).
The ChallengeMe tournament will last three months, and be fought between fourteen European teams in matches of Counterstrike:Global Offensive, Unikrn revealed in a press release.
With over 400 hours of gameplay and broadcasts in eight languages, the tournament indicates a serious shift towards virtual currencies and assets within the space of online gaming. Nor is it a one-off event; Unikrn had already begun a long-term pivot towards digital assets when it attained licensing for cryptocurrency as well as fiat betting last month.
Mobile Games Made Developers Depend on Microtransactions
While "hardcore" gamers ignored mobile gaming in its early days, revenues by mobile developers like Rovio, Supercell, and King made legacy console and PC developers take notice. It wasn't long before Electronic Arts, Square Enix, and longtime holdout Nintendo were developing mobile games.
These mobile upstarts proved a freemium business model that was unheard of outside of South Korea's online gaming market. Games and apps on mobile devices are developed and released in sprints, using an Agile development method. This allows them to be released to the consumer market and start generating revenue earlier in the development cycle.
Mobile games are often given away for free.
Over 80 percent of games today are free-to-play with in-app purchases, called microtransactions. When executed correctly these freemium models are very profitable – Candy Crush Saga and Clash of Clans (the two highest-grossing mobile games of all time) are pulling in approximately $1 million a day.
Anyone who's played a video game on either mobile, PC, or console (which I have to assume from the statistics is everyone) knows the familiar format of earning gems or coins to purchase items within a game. Using those currencies to make real-world purchases would be a big deal to gamers everywhere.
This is what gaming platforms like GameCredits and LootForge are trying to do, but developers and publishers like Blizzard want to keep it in their own ecosystem with proprietary digital currencies like WoW Token.
It's unlikely anyone will ever make any real money playing video games any time soon, aside from the professionals. But there's still hope for video games and blockchain.
Blockchain Can Bring Games to the Next Level
The blockchain is about more than just cryptocurrencies. It also provides an immutable digital ledger that can be decentralized or distributed. Using blockchain technology, tracking video game scores, stats, and assets in everything from first-person shooters like "Call of Duty" and "Fortnite" to MMOs like "Minecraft" and "Fallout 76" can be done across all platforms, whether mobile, PC, or console.
This can be a big win for developers, who often have to deal with the servers of Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo's consoles, along with Valve's Steam PC marketplace and Google and Apple's mobile markets.
Cross-play isn't made easier when the platform owners resist. Sony made waves in 2018 for hesitating to allow its PS4 players to play with gamers on other consoles. It finally succumbed to the bad press and released a press announcement in September, revealing that it's considering cross-play on more of its games.
And tracking on the digital ledger isn't all – thanks to Ethereum's ERC-721 non-fungible token standard and the ERC-1155 reference implementation, digital collectibles can be created, tracked, and traded on the blockchain.
Games like "Fortnite" and "World of Warcraft" have a variety of items of varying rarity and value.
Roll chances on bosses determine drop rates of items, and this can all be calculated via blockchain for a much more enhanced loot distribution system. It's not just currency – clothing, weapons, and other collectible items can be found in games.
Online black markets for resources in some games have existed as long as the games themselves. Platforms like Wax and OpenSea are already looking into these systems, and Decentraland built a blockchain specifically for VR using the concept of nonfungible tokenized smart contracts.
But let's not forget the distribution system of the games themselves. Piracy is responsible for an estimated $8.1 billion in annual losses to the video game industry. Most games these days are sold through digital keys, and thefts of those keys have ravaged everyone from Valve's Steam marketplace (a 2016 hack resulted in the loss of 33 million game codes) to developers like Gun Media (limited edition Friday the 13th Kickstarter codes were stolen in February 2018).
And anyone buying a game on the secondary market often loses out on most of the valuable online functionality.
Blockchain-based tracking of these codes can help combat piracy. In fact, the public/private key transaction system used in blockchain can secure game codes better, while the digital ledger helps trace who uses them.
Whether blockchain or cryptocurrency penetrates gaming first isn't clear, but both technologies are poised gain acceptance from gamers before anyone else. Miners and gamers are forever conjoined in the battle for graphics cards with powerful GPUs, and it's time everyone starts working together.
The author isn't currently invested in any coin, token, or asset mentioned in this article.


The Bryce Canyon Lodge complex was designed and built over several years, expanding in response to increased visitor demand. Two guest wings were added in 1926, and an auditorium in 1928. The Standard and Economy Cabins were finished by 1927; Deluxe Cabins were completed by 1929.
A site was selected in 1923, and the UP immediately began stockpiling local timber, lumber, and stone. By choosing not to import wood from the Northwest, the UP was able to save considerable money. More importantly, hiring local companies and laborers helped to garner community support.
Building stone was quarried just a few miles from the site. Believing that the local timber would be of inferior quality, the railroad told the architect to specify stone walls "up to the snow line." But the blueprints only indicated masonry for the foundation, chimneys and steps (which were eventually made with brick). The stonework façade was a later addition.
Actual building got underway in 1924, and the main Lodge was ready to open in the summer of 1925. Attention then turned to construction of 15 Deluxe Cabins and 67 Standard and Economy Cabins.
Although the Bryce and Zion Canyon Lodges are distinctly different, Gilbert Stanley Underwood applied the same architectural principles to both properties. His design concept in both cases centered on a main building with satellite cabins. His choice of local building materials complemented the landscape, matching the palette and textures of each Lodge's immediate surroundings.
The Bryce Canyon Lodge and Cabins are typical of Underwood at his best. Repeated columnar forms and an irregular floor plan are reminiscent of the geology in nearby canyons. A low portico, topped with a single 52-foot-long beam, provides a firm horizontal sightline that echoes the surrounding mesas.
Underwood's use of natural building materials, combined with his unique flair for rustic design, was ideally suited to the emerging NPS attitude about architecture in the Parks.
The Union Pacific made generous use of advertising to tell the traveling public about the tours and accommodations that would soon be available in the Southwest. Both Bryce and Zion Canyon Lodges opened in the summer of 1925, and the response was tremendous.
After a day spent touring the countryside, guests could relax in the lobby. A gently rustic ambience was provided by hickory furniture, chandeliers crafted of logs, and a stone hearth with a hood of hammered copper.
When guests were ready to leave, all of the employees would line up in front of the Lodge to raise their voices in rousing choruses known as "sing-aways."
At the end of the opening season, the UP's concessions director contacted Railway headquarters in Omaha, requesting more facilities and doubled capacity at both Zion and Bryce Lodges.
Until the late 19th century, the only people to see this magical landscape were Native Americans, a few Spanish explorers, and the occasional trapper or trader. Then, in the 1870s, John Powell and Clarence Dutton came to conduct geological surveys of the area. In the same time frame, the Mormon Church was actively colonizing Utah.
The Mormons sent to the Paria River region in 1875 included a carpenter, Ebenezer Bryce. Bryce built a road up to the plateau so that he could harvest timber for lumber. He also made an irrigation canal for his crops and cattle.
The Bryce family homestead was located near the curious rock formations, so his neighbors called the area Bryce's Canyon. The name stuck, even though Bryce moved to Arizona in 1880, hauling along his wife Mary Ann and a dozen kids. Ebenezer died 33 yeas later, in the hamlet of Bryce, Arizona.
The Powell expedition that surveyed the region named several natural features, including the Paria River and Paunsaugunt Plateau. In the Paiute language, paria refers to muddy water, and paunsaugunt means home of the beavers.
Today Bryce Canyon is the smallest National Park in Utah (35,835 acres), but it contains the world's greatest concentration of hoodoos. The "canyon" is really a collection of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters along the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
It was Clarence E. Dutton, geologist for the Powell expedition, who christened the colorful rock amphitheaters as the "Pink Cliffs." The unique hues of the landscape are due to minerals in the layers of limestone, sandstone and mudstone.
Paiute folklore says that the fantastic shapes and colorful forms are "legend people," turned into stone by Coyote.
The Bryce Canyon environment is ideally suited to biological soil crusts, also known as cryptobiotic soil. These distinctive crusts can occur almost anywhere in the world, but are unusually common in southern Utah, where about 75% of the groundcover is literally "alive."
The word cryptobiotic has ancient roots in Greek and Latin. Crypto means hidden or secret, and biotic refers to a mode of life, or life conditions. And "hidden mode of life" is an apt description of these communities of nearly invisible cyanobacteria, mosses and lichens.
These crusts are essential to the Bryce Canyon ecosystem, and they are extremely fragile. Off-trail hikers can easily damage or destroy the soil communities. Recovery is very slow. It can take 250 years for the miniature mosses and lichens to grow back.
The transportation histories of Bryce and Zion Canyons are nearly identical. In the early years, UP customers were ferried from Park to Park, and lodge to lodge, in multi-passenger touring cars.
When visitor interest grew, Utah and the railroad worked to improve Park access. As more people started coming to Parks in their own cars, traffic congestion became an issue. At Zion there is just one road, and since it isn't a loop cars must traverse each mile twice. Bryce is similar, with a few side roads departing from the main route. And Bryce is too small to handle many vehicles.
Both Parks now have shuttle systems that allow visitors to avoid the hassles of driving and concentrate on the beauty of the scenery. The Bryce Canyon shuttle was introduced in 2000, and provides an optional alternative to private cars. At Zion, no cars are allowed.

Q: Angular 5 HttpClient map Observable returned to local member of the component I have a service defines that simply does the following:
@Injectable()
export class SettingService {

  settingsForm : FormGroup;

  constructor(private http:HttpClient, private httpErrorHandlerService : HttpErrorHandlerService) { }

    getPreference()   {
      return this.http.get<Preference>('/api/admin/config');
    }

Here is snippet of Preference Model
export class Preference {

 utilityName : string;
 utilitySupportUrl : string
 utilitySupportPhone : string;
 utilitySupportEmail : string;
 utilityPayBillUrl : string;
 utilityUrl : string;
 defaultLocale : string;

 showTOC : Boolean;
 showLastBilledDate : Boolean ;

 notificationRangeInHours : String;

In my component..
settingsForm: FormGroup;
  public utilityPreference: Preference = new Preference();

 constructor(private settingService: SettingService, private messageService: MessageService, private httpErrorHandler: HttpErrorHandlerService, private fb: FormBuilder, @Inject(APP_CONFIG) private config: IAppConfig) {
     this.settingService.getPreference().subscribe((data)  => {
     console.log(data);
     this.utilityPreference = data;
    });
console.log("====Component's preference:"+ JSON.stringify(this.utilityPreference));

My issue is my component is not able to get the copy of the Observable returned by the subscribe on my service. I was setting it as
this.utilityPreference = data;

In other words if i do this.utilityPreference.utilityName, i see NULL
Can someone point me in the right direction here ?

A: The problem that you are facing is that settingService.getPreference() is asynchronous. So your console.log evaluates first and then, some time later, getPreference() returns and subscribe block gets executed.
constructor(...) {
  this.settingService.getPreference().subscribe(data => {
     this.utilityPreference = data;
     console.log('second', this.utilityPreference)
  });
  console.log('first', this.utilityPreference)
}

Also as others suggested, consider moving the logic to ngOnInit. Constructors should be thin, and only handle the dependency injection.

Q: Fixing moc.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command I can't get my program to compile in x86 mode, but x64 works fine. It gives me this error:
1>  '"E:\Code\CommonEx\QT\4.8.2-vs10\bin\moc.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

However, I don't even have an E drive any more, and I don't use Qt 4.8.2 any more!
So my question is this: Why is the compiler trying to use this path and where on earth is this path getting stored?

Here is more background information about my setup. I'm using VS 2015 Professional with the Qt5Package extension version 1.3.9.
At the bottom of my .vcxproj this section can be found:
<ProjectExtensions>
<VisualStudio>
  <UserProperties MocDir=".\GeneratedFiles\$(ConfigurationName)" UicDir=".\GeneratedFiles" QtVersion="5.6.0" Qt5Version_x0020_Win32="5.6.0-vs2015-x86" Qt5Version_x0020_x64="5.6.0-vs2015-x64" />
</VisualStudio>
</ProjectExtensions>

(This looks pretty normal to me)
My Qt5 settings page looks like:

I'm 100% sure the paths are correct, and this looks pretty normal to me as well.
My Project's Qt settings look like:

(Again, this looks pretty normal to me)
And here is my environment variables table (note, QTDIR is NOT specified):

(Because I'm using the Qt extension, my understanding is that it isn't necessary to set an environment variable in this case.)
OK, so far so good. Now here's the kicker.  I deleted my .user file and then built in x86 and x64 modes.  This is the user file that was generated:
<Project ToolsVersion="14.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">
    <LocalDebuggerEnvironment>PATH=$(QTDIR)\bin%3b$(PATH)    </LocalDebuggerEnvironment>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|x64'">
    <QTDIR>C:\repos\CommonEx\QT\5.6.0-vs2015-x64</QTDIR>
    <LocalDebuggerEnvironment>PATH=$(QTDIR)\bin%3b$(PATH)    </LocalDebuggerEnvironment>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|x64'">
    <QTDIR>C:\repos\CommonEx\QT\5.6.0-vs2015-x64</QTDIR>
    <LocalDebuggerEnvironment>PATH=$(QTDIR)\bin%3b$(PATH)    </LocalDebuggerEnvironment>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'">
    <LocalDebuggerEnvironment>PATH=$(QTDIR)\bin%3b$(PATH)    </LocalDebuggerEnvironment>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

I can clearly see that the tag for QTDIR under the Debug|Win32 and Release|Win32 sections is not defined!
I have considered using a property sheet and setting up a QTDIR variable, but I don't know if that would conflict with the one that Qt Extension is setting up and I'd hate to have it being tweaked in two different places.
Why is QTDIR not getting added to the .user file for the 32 bit ones, but it exists for the 64 bit ones?  And why is it that if QTDIR isn't defined in the user file, it defaults to some path I used a long time ago. And where is that path stored?
I'll award points to anyone who answers the first one (why are the x86 ones not generated) since that one is the most important.  The other two are icing on the cake :-)

A: So I wrote this whole thing up and as I was proofreading it, the answer dawned on me. Although the situation is probably not very common, the question and answer may be of use to someone else so there's no sense in throwing it all away.
I am aware of a bug that occurred in older version of visual studio where:
<QTDIR>C:\repos\CommonEx\QT\5.6.0-vs2015-x64</QTDIR>

must be defined before < LocalDebuggerEnvironment > in the .user file.  THIS IS NOT that case - since QTDIR is not being defined at all!
What happened was, in Visual Studio, I had renamed the solution platform:

Well... that royally confused the Qt extension for Visual Studio!
In order to fix it, I had to remove Qt completely from the Visual Studio project by deleting the < ProjectExtensions > tag and everything in it from the .vcxproj file. Then I had to turn it back into a Qt project by right clicking on the project and selecting "Convert to Qt Add-in Project". Then I set the qt project settings to use the 5.6.0 version.  Once I did that... build... and success! The .user file now has a QTDIR section for the x86 modes and everything builds as it should.
The strange thing is... I have three different computers that I use to work on that solution. I had to perform the above procedure for ALL of them. Apparently the Qt Extension somehow stores some internal settings related to the platform name that are not part of the project. Just the process of removing Qt from the project and adding it again is all that is needed. The project itself does get modified, but the modifications are minor and don't affect anything.  The real fix happens in some internal settings somewhere.
As to where those mystical settings are stored... I think I found the QTDIR one - the old qt vs add-in used to create a file called Qt4VSPropertySheet.props, which contained that really old Qt path. I don't think the newer version of the add-in or the extension use that anymore.

There are many major players in the electronic and technological advancements of today's world. We've seen the rise of touch screens, smartphones, and interactive glasses, and we've seen many law suits hashed out through the legal system in regards to the patents held by various companies and individuals.
Which company has the most patents? According to the US Patent Office, IBM is the leader, and has been for several years. There is some argument in this however; IBM has apparently abandoned or failed to renew thousands of their submitted patents.
This suggests that it is actually Samsung who holds the most patents, who has been in second place, behind IBM, for years. This makes sense too, as Samsung has been involved in all areas of technological advancement in today's world.
According to IAM Magazine, Samsung actually holds closer to 45,000 current patents, while IBM retains approximately 38,500.
IBM is said to use its number of patents to its advantage whether or not they renew them. It looks good in headlines to always be in the number one spot, and most people don't realize that the companies don't actually own the patents anymore if they don't pay the maintenance or renewal fees to keep them current.
For a comparative example, Apple "only" owns around 6,500 patents.


This book is a representative collection of the Fairy Tales of India. The majority of the tales in this book have been known in the West in some form or other, and the problem arises how to account for their simultaneous existence in farthest West and East. Some have declared that India is the Home of the Fairy Tale, and that all European fairy tales have been brought from thence by Crusaders, by Mongol missionaries, by Gipsies, by Jews, by traders, by travellers. The question is still before the courts, and one can only deal with it as an advocate. So far as the children of Europe have their fairy stories in common, these—and they form more than a third of the whole—are derived from India. In particular, the majority of the Drolls or comic tales and jingles can be traced, without much difficulty, back to the Indian peninsula.

Greta Van Fleet release new single
Posted by Staff on Feb 10, 2021 in News | 0 comments
Hot on the heels of "My Way, Soon," the band's fifth #1 single at rock radio, GRAMMY-winning rock band Greta Van Fleet today announces a dazzling new single, "Heat Above." It is the third track released from the band's forthcoming sophomore studio album, The Battle at Garden's Gate, produced by Greg Kurstin (Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Adele) and due out April 16 (Lava/Republic Records). "Heat Above" is an ethereal track that opens with a Hammond B3 seeping in slowly to set the tone for a triumphant sonic build. You can listen to the song HERE.
The band first debuted the song with Zane Lowe on "The Zane Lowe Show" via Apple Music 1 in an interview where they discussed what it was like to work with a new producer, the personal growth they've seen over the last three years, and where in the world they've been in the extended downtime away from touring. In addition, they are the featured artist on New Music Daily on Apple Music today.
The band's upcoming album, The Battle at Garden's Gate, is a reflection of their journey into the present. With string orchestras, explorative songs, and the band building a visual story with every track, it has an elevated elegance unseen yet from the young band. It explores the boundaries of the group's artistry, with physical copies of the record featuring a stunning 16-page booklet full of mythical, transcendent visuals and metaphysical symbols for each track.
In three years, Greta Van Fleet – Josh Kiszka/vocals, Jake Kiszka/guitars, Sam Kiszka/bass & keys, and Danny Wagner/drums – went from touring the grimy rock bars of Detroit and Saginaw to headlining shows on five continents with audiences triple their hometown's population. The band that once attracted crowds of teens to improvised forest concerts, have now sold over one million tickets worldwide.
The twelve songs and symbols on The Battle at Garden's Gate were revealed this week and touch upon themes of freedom, self-empowerment, power in community, and respect for Mother Earth.
Complete track-listing:
1. Heat Above
2. My Way, Soon
3. Broken Bells
4. Built by Nations
5. Age of Machine
6. Tears of Rain
7. Stardust Chords
8. Light My Love
9. Caravel
10. The Barbarians
11. Trip the Light Fantastic
12. The Weight of Dreams

More Americans of all ages are rolling out their yoga mats in an effort to improve their health. A large nationally representative survey shows that the number of Americans using mind and body approaches to improve health and well-being remains high. Of note is a significant increase in the use of yoga since 2002. In addition, almost as many Americans practice meditation or receive chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation.
The 2012 survey results, released in a National Health Statistics Report by NCHS, are based on combined data from 88,962 American adults and 17,321 interviews with a knowledgeable adult about children aged 4–17 years. The 2012 survey is the third conducted by NCCIH and NCHS—previous surveys occurred as part of the 2002 and 2007 NHIS. Children's data were assessed in 2007 and 2012.
The pattern of use of complementary health approaches is one of the four guiding principles that determine the practices and products studied by NCCIH. The others are that the practice or product must be able to be studied using high-quality and rigorous research, hold promise, and have an impact on the public's health. As well, knowing about use can help identify Americans' unmet health needs. For example, pain is one of the leading reasons why Americans turn to complementary health approaches. Thus, the Center's research priorities include the study of complementary approaches—such as yoga, massage, and meditation—that may help manage pain and other symptoms that are not consistently addressed well by drugs and other conventional treatments.


The Ministers of Citizen-ship and Public Security have been advised to become acquainted with the country's international obligations regarding migrants, and to move swiftly in their attendance to the matter involving the Haitians in police custody.
"What the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been concerned about… is that we need to move expeditiously to decide one way or another whether there is actually evidence [of human trafficking] and to try and ensure that children and women who may be in that group in particular are not put in any unacceptable circumstances in terms of conditions whilst the police try to sort this matter out. That is the situation as of now. The need to be expeditious has been drawn to the attention of the police," Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge related to media personnel on Friday.
Greenidge stated that the matter of the detained Haitian immigrants has drawn the attention of the ministry, noting that the incident was more than a police matter, and nothing to do with citizenship, but one regarding the social rights of the migrants.
"…The tendency, traditionally, to treat this like this is immigration or this is police clearly is not acceptable. It's outdated. It's not relevant to the circumstances and has to be more carefully examined…," Greenidge said, alluding to non-offenders being dealt the same treatment as criminals.
The minister opined that if there is the need for an update in the regulations and legislation to facilitate the change in migration flows to Guyana, then that should be done.
"I called the Minster of Citizenship myself the day before yesterday to ensure that he would make arrangements to meet them, and I emphasized then to him that he and his colleague, and my colleague, Vice President [Khemraj] Ramjattan acquaint themselves [with] all our obligations as regards treating migrants. It is a concern to us, the holding of migrants, whether they be from Haiti, Venezuela, or anywhere else," Greenidge stated.
The police have been investigating the circumstances surrounding the migration of more than 30 Haitians to Guyana last month under suspicions of human trafficking although this has not been confirmed.
Nevertheless, 15 of those migrants left last week on return flights to Haiti.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum related on Tuesday that the force was investigating the "chief players" involved in the matter, including persons who would have organized for the group's transport, accommodations, and assisted with translating.
Those persons were detained and questioned, and subsequently placed on bail, as investigations continue.
On Thursday, a group of social activists, along with members of the Guyana Bar Association met with Minister of Citizenship Winston Felix to discuss the release of the seven adults and eight children remaining from police custody.
It was reported by blogger Mark Jacobs, who led the group, that members of the business community had volunteered to sponsor the individuals to stay in the country, providing work and accommodations. The group planned to apply for work permits for the individuals as a means of gaining them residency, and therefore, guaranteeing their release from custody.

JAN HOPKINS - Anchor: President Bush is proposing limits to the amount of money patients can win in medical malpractice lawsuits. California passed a similar measure years ago to help these rising malpractice insurance costs. Casey Wian looks at whether it's worked.
CASEY WIAN - Reporter (voice-over): From buying a house to driving a car, it's more expensive to do most things in California. But practicing medicine here is a bargain because unlike in many states, medical malpractice insurance rates adjusted for inflation are lower than they were 25 years ago.
In 1976 California faced a malpractice insurance crisis of its own, with high premiums forcing doctors out of business. Doctors blamed frivolous lawsuits and big jury awards for pain and suffering.
ALAN MILLER, CHMN., UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES: If you can get a jury to be sympathetic to the individual and then you can get a paint the case as a large institution, insurance company against the institution with a good lawyer who makes a good story, it's break the bank.
WIAN: So California capped noneconomic malpractice awards at $250,000. Damages for lost wages or increased medical costs remained unlimited. Now the typical surgeon in Los Angeles County pays about $37,000 a year in malpractice premiums compared to 88,000 in Wayne County, Michigan and 174,000 in Dade County, Florida.
DR. JACK LEVIN, CEO, CALIF. MEDICAL ASSN.: It has worked better than any tort reform legislation, anywhere in the country. People who are injured get compensated fairly. But it's kept premiums down so that doctors can still be in practice and community clinics and public, particularly the safety net, doesn't go bankrupt.
WIAN: Trial lawyers and consumer advocates are fighting the Bush administration's proposed cap on noneconomic damage awards nationwide. They've seized on the recent case of Linda McDougal who was misdiagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy as an example of why $250,000 is not enough for pain suffering. They also credit stricter regulation of the insurance industry, not the cap on malpractice awards for California's lower premiums.
JAMIE COURT, FOUNDATION FOR TAXPAYER & CONSUMER RIGHTS: It's not frivolous lawsuits that are driving this crisis. It's frivolous business practices by unregulated insurance companies and if we had better regulation, we'd take care of this problem.
WIAN: Democrats are expected to counter the White House with proposals for more insurance industry regulation. Also they're proposing or expected to propose a national malpractice insurance program that would offer a plan similar to the way flood insurance now operates and also are expected to propose premium rebates for doctors -- Jan.
HOPKINS: But as you were reporting, Casey, the way that it works in California seems to be working.
WIAN: Absolutely. It's just a matter of which reform measure you give credit to, the trial lawyers and the consumer advocates say it's tighter regulation of the insurance industry. The doctors say that it's capping those damage awards.
HOPKINS: Casey Wian in California. Thank you.


The history of Vignobles Gabriel & Co started with that of a man and an estate : in 1904, Gabriel Bruneteau founded the Domaine du Grand Moulin at Saint Aubin de Blaye, located 50 kilometres to the north of Bordeaux in the heart of the Blaye vineyards.
In the vineyard as in life, Gabriel Bruneteau was guided by his passionate interest in wine and people. In 1921, he was elected mayor of Saint Aubin de Blaye and founded his business, forerunner to Vignobles Gabriel & Co. History was underway.
In the years following his death, mixed farming began to supplant winegrowing. The Domaine du Grand Moulin took a different path from that traced out by Gabriel, turning to grain and livestock farming. Although the vineyard remained, it changed and dwindled, and was planted solely to Ugni Blanc, a variety renowned for producing dry white wines and Cognac.
With each new successor, the Domaine du Grand Moulin underwent more changes, trying to find its way, but finally recovered its original spirit four generations later.
In 1985, Jean-François Reaud inherited the estate. That year, the great-great grandson of Gabriel Bruneteau became owner of the seven remaining hectares of vines. He launched an impressive project, perpetuating the family history by reorganising and modernising the vineyard, which grew and diversified.
The estate became Château Le Grand Moulin, covering 25 hectares by the end of the 1990s.
Jean-François Reaud decided to use the name of Château Les Aubiers, a Château's name belonging to his family, to convert these original 25 hectares in organic farming in 2011. At the same period, the indefatigable Jean-François Reaud developed the surface of Château Le Grand Moulin to reach today 81 hectares, in conventional farming.
To meet increased consumer demand he decided to take things even further, creating a partnership to facilitate distribution and promotion of Right Bank wines. Convinced of the benefits of mutual assistance in the winegrowing business he joined forces with several neighbouring estates to enhance the reputation of their wines.
This was the birth of Vignobles Gabriel & Co, the rise of a new family, and the coming of age of Gabriel Bruneteau's enterprise. The story has come full circle.

Water is one of the most fundamental elements of our physical world and of life on earth. It also has enormous symbolic significance in many cultures as the source and transmitter of life. We humans are indeed made up largely of water. Such is the value of water that disputes arise over its availability. Where previous wars have been fought primarily over territory, economic gain and the securing of mined resources such as oil, many predict that water itself will be at the heart of future conflict.
Water has also been much on the mind of many of my compatriots in recent times.The past few years of history-breaking drought in Australia have brought much devastation and despair across the country. It is impossible to ignore the seriousness of the scenarios that may await us, be they through war, or simply through the effects of drought and fire. Even my new home town of Melbourne, a coastal city and traditionally, even notoriously, well serviced by rainfall, has spent much of the past year employing water restrictions, with television adverts and billboards serving as constant community reminders about wise water use. Neighbourly chats about the weather have changed from that of passing curiosity to genuine concern.
Water is the inspiration for my concertante music for saxophones and chamber orchestra, jointly commissioned by a group of European ensembles to perform with the Rascher Saxophone Quartet. It was the extremely "fluid" playing style and extraordinary tonal blend of this wonderful group that initially turned my thoughts to the sounds and images of liquid as a possible starting point for this three movement work. Hearing recordings of their performances, with their unanimity of sound and virtuosity, led me to a strong desire to treat the quartet as a form of single "super-soloist", hurtling through an orchestral landscape in a series of "rapids" and "waves" of fast, flowing passage work. This then became the genesis of the second movement, Coursing.
It is in fact different aspects of water that provide the origin for each of the three movements in turn. The first movement, Bubbling, takes as its initial inspiration the sound of water. Emerging initially from the live sounds of bubbling water bowls, it finds an instrumental commentary in the toneless key sounds and pattering staccato passages of the soloists. As the movement progresses, counterparts of a more lyrical-musical nature start to surface, firstly in the orchestral strings, later via a prominent single trumpet and ultimately from the saxophone soloists themselves. One of the most striking aspects of water is its enormous potential of different purposes, be it to clean and purify, to sustain, to carry, to energise. This first movement, starting from the mere sound of bubbling water, becomes a journey into these different states and their significance.
Coursing, as previously described, is inspired by the image of rushing water, aswell as by the energetic surge of current and power that invariably lies just beneath its surface. Furthermore, on rehearsing this movement, the tenor saxophonist of the Raschers, Bruce Weinberger, wrote to me that he saw, in the suddenly quiet chorale section played by the soloists towards the end of this movement, a form of prayer for the continuation of the earth¹s future water resources, a sentiment that appeals to me strongly, while not necessarily being a conscious intention.
The final section, Parched Earth, is about the absence of water, of aridity and drought, and the fact that it dominates our lives and thoughts even more when confronted by a dangerous lack of it. This final movement then, with its stark multiphonic chords and extended trills in the solo quartet, slow string glissandi and sampled sounds of metallic eeriness, adds a deliberate question mark to the work as a whole, transforming it from a sonic celebration of one of life¹s most vital forces into a lonely soundscape of dry desert winds and bleak abandonment.

Press Quotes
"Even as the instruments first come into view, a murmur ripples through the audience: a podium with a huge variety of percussion instruments and four water tanks equipped with hoses through which air is blown. Diffuse, computer-programmed sounds emanate from the keyboard and unusual techniques produce atmospheric shades from the strings and saxophones... Everything scintillates and vibrates, solidifies into a vivid body of sound, and then catapults a monstrous energy into the air. Bold rhythms roll over the music like waves... The audience was thrilled, congratulating the musicians with loud bravos." (Christine Gehringer, Badische Neueste Nachrichten, 16. Jun 2004)

Is Everyone Really Doing Their Best?
There was a time when I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder, I felt as if everyone was out to get me, like the deck was stacked against me. I released that chip because I decided to accept that everyone is doing the best they can. Frankly, it doesn't really matter if they're out to get me or not, or if they're doing their best or not because that's always going to be out of my control. What is in my control is how I respond and that focus makes my life so much better.
Accepting that everyone is doing the best they can may seem a bit Pollyanna and that's definitely not me. It takes practice to cultivate this mindset and sometimes it's really hard! I love Brené Brown's work and in her book Rising Strong, her husband's response to "Do you think everyone is doing the best they can" is one of the best truths I've heard. He explains, "All I know is that my life is better when I assume that people are doing their best. It keeps me out of judgment and lets me focus on what is, and not what should or could be." Eureka!
So, when we aren't recognized at work for going above and beyond, it's not a reflection on the quality of our work or our worth. Our co-workers are doing the best they can and right now that doesn't involve acknowledging us. That doesn't change our awesome skills or value.
When we're in a hurry at the grocery store and the person ahead of us is unloading his cart at a snail's pace and then decides to pay with a handwritten check, the universe is not against us and this person probably isn't a jerk. He's doing the best he can at that moment and our judgment or anger isn't going to make the line move faster, it's only going to increase our stress response.
When we're too exhausted to cook a homemade meal for ourselves or our families and we get takeout instead, it doesn't mean we're bad. The best we can do some days is takeout (hopefully healthy takeout!) and that's okay, healthy or not. Our self-criticism doesn't change the situation, it only makes it harder for us to thrive.
Are you starting to get the point? Our judgment and criticism negatively impact us more than anyone and there will be days when we need compassion from ourselves and others, so the more we practice the idea that everyone is doing their best, including us, the easier that compassion is to express.
As always, I'd love to hear from you. Do you think people are doing the best they can? If so, how do you keep that mindset? If not, what's holding you back?


The Slow Readers Club are a Mancunian four piece who specialise in guitar-electro pop. They ended 2017 with a sold out UK tour with dates including Albert Hall Manchester, London Garage, Rescue Rooms Nottingham and the legendary King Tuts.
The bands recent single 'Lunatic' has been championed by on BBC 6Music – Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins, Radio X – John Kennedy and Gordon Smart and XS Radio – Clint Boon. A new album is due early 2018.


Reality star and former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak-Biermann posted a new photo on Instagram showing her new bikini body and the workout regimen / diet / life philosophy that led to this point.
While it doesn't seem to be as crazy as the kind we've seen from The Rock or Mark Wahlberg in recent years, it is still quite the commitment to undertake.
Zolciak details many parts of her own personal journey in the post and many could use that for inspiration. But on a base level, she's offering some tidbits you might be able to drag into your own regimen to build the body you want.
"I Run 3-4 Miles 5x A Week. I Have ALWAYS Loved To Run."
Forrest Gump really showed the benefits of running at one level -- a far different one than Zolciak puts out with her post. It might be the least crazy part of her routine and she's far from alone.
The benefits of running or motion in general are pretty clear. It works your cardio, helps to burn calories, and helps to build your body to levels where you can push yourself.
Haruki Murakami captures the benefits and allure of running in his memoirs detailing his own experiences with running and the parallels with his writing -- check it out -- and it really captures how and why someone who runs can do it at this type of frequency.
It unlocks something in you.
"I Don't Eat Red Meat Or Pork. NEVER Have."
This one is likely crazier than the running. People love their meat and it is hard to turn down. It is a debate and struggle that has firmly stood in place for years now. It's also not likely to go away any time soon.
BUT, if you love red meat, pork, hot dogs, and other similar foods, it doesn't mean you're a lost cause. You can still work with this, you just need to limit what you're doing. It's not healthy to eat so much red meat and pork anyway, so lowering your consumption is probably a good idea.
You're not less of a human being because you work in some vegetarian options or choose fish over beef. Switch up those proteins and get out there.
Not sitting down sounds nuts. We are aware that standing desks are a thing now and movement is important for daily health, but rarely sitting or avoiding chairs is a little out there.
If you're driving around, you've blown through your limited chair sitting time. Not to mention sitting down to eat.
This is likely the only one -- along with skincare -- that isn't a chore. But it is the only one that would be an annoyance to the people around you. Who wants someone standing around them all day and hovering like some exercise robot??
"I Hate Breakfast But Drink Shakes In Place Of It"
Saying "I hate breakfast" is a good way to lose a lot of folks, but it is understandable given the rest of her diet. There isn't too much you can eat at breakfast that isn't going to harm her diet and force a few steps back.
A breakfast shake is fine and far better than skipping the meal in general. Some diets also adhere to the idea of smaller meals throughout the day, lending support to kicking things off with a shake and moving on to something healthier in a few hours.
And if you love breakfast, this just means more bacon and eggs for you.
"I Love Skincare I Have Almost Every Product Ever Made"
There will be a divide when it comes to skincare. While it is important and lotions don't carry any true danger, it is sometimes viewed as an unnecessary part of the grooming routine for a lot of folks.
But lotion is not only suitable for great skin, it is also helpful for healthy living. Keeping your skin clean, moisturized, and in good shape will help you avoid injury in the future, help with management of diseases you may have -- Zolciak details her struggle with anemia for example -- and it just will aid in keeping you looking good for a longer period of time.
You don't have to be fancy, just know that skincare is far more important than many want you to believe.
A recent Harvard study suggested that a bit of high-quality dark chocolateone to three times a month may protect women from heart failure.
The authors studied the chocolate-eating habits of 31,823 Swedish women, ages 48 to 83. Women who ate about an ounce a month reduced their risk of heart failure by 32 percent. Eating more than an ounce eliminated the benefit. The risk increased with added chocolate.
Given the imagery and the rest of her routine, you'd have to think the right amount is being eaten here. However, Zolciak doesn't give specifics.
Just know that you CAN eat chocolate every day. You just can't eat nothing but chocolate for every meal, every day, for the rest of your short, short life.
"I Don't Do Elevators, I'd Rather Walk 30 Flights."
The benefits for walking up stairs is clear. We get that. We also get that there is a fear connected to elevators and heights that a lot of people are working through on a daily basis. They don't want to get caught or trapped in a small space -- she even notes her claustrophobia on her IG post.
That said, 30 flights of stairs? Daily? All the way up? It's going to be great for your leg and rump muscles, but boy...it's going to be sore in the morning.
"I Quit Smoking Years Ago After Reading 'The Easy Way To Quit Smoking' Never Smoked Again."
Zolciak is not the first to credit Alan Carr's book as a path to quitting cigarettes. The trouble with smoking has never been a secret and being able to quit is something anybody can do.
It's just that one way might not work for another.
While the book was a good way for her, you might need some other type of help on your end. It's also a good place to start if you're feeling the itch to start getting healthy because smoking will be standing in the way of completing the other items on the list.
Still, this is also going to be one of the tougher ones to start. But as a former smoker, you will tell a difference. You might smell some horrible things as your senses come back, but you'll also be able to walk to you car without needing a break.
None of this is out of reach for a normal person. Find your own way to do each and go from there. If she is living her life how she pleases, you can do the same and achieve positive results.


Accessories label Nappa Dori's new store in Colaba follows a similar aesthetic as the brand's multiple stores all over the country. Namely, the benefit of walking into one of them is, for a minute, you lose sense of your surroundings—you could just as easily be in Brooklyn or Fitzroy or any other hipster favoured side in a big city.
The inventory at the store focuses on Nappa Dori's meticulously crafted luggage, handbags and small leather goods. If you are playing Santa this festive season, have a look at their cool notebooks that cater to everything from something to scribble your musings in to serious planning.
Located near the Gateway of India, check out the store as you stroll by the docks on an early Saturday morning.

The Scheme was officially opened by the Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council, Mrs. Mary Hilda Cavanagh, on the 16th February 2016.
Following consultation with Transport Infrastructure Ireland a pavement rehabilitation project on the N24 through Mooncoin village, was upgraded to a Minor Works Project enabling road restructuring, footpath reconstruction, enhanced traffic management, parking and public realm provisions to a value of €2.5 million. The works contract for this project was awarded on the 23rd March 2015. During the course of the works, unforeseen poor ground conditions were encountered with respect to the pavement sub-grade. This issue necessitated a deeper dig throughout the pavement reconstruction process. The funding required to undertake this substantial additional work was secured in October 2015 by the Local Authority from Transport Infrastructure Ireland. The completion of the final surface wearing course through the village in late October saw the substantial completion of this project. It was noted, that despite encountering unforeseen ground conditions which necessitated a deeper pavement excavation and reconstruction depth, the scheme was completed in line with the original programme. The traffic calming element of this scheme has proven very effective and made for a safer environment particularly at the schools. Before and after speed survey results showed a 16% reduction in the recorded 85th percentile speed, which was significant and demonstrated that the engineering measures introduced as part of the scheme are working.
The completion of the final surface wearing course through the village in late October sees the substantial completion of this project. Works this month will focus on finishing out works and snagging items. Traffic restrictions through the village will be greatly reduced for this final stage of works. It should be noted that despite encountering unforeseen ground conditions which necessitated a deeper pavement excavation and reconstruction depth the scheme will be completed in line with the original programme.
Following a public consultation process under the provisions of Part 8 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001 -2011, in quarter 1 & 2 of 2014, and having considered the comments made during the opening evening session and the submissions received during the consultation period. A Part 8 Planning Report was prepared and presented to the Elected Members which they subsequently adopted in June 2014.
On foot of securing funding from the National Roads Authority and following an open tender process, the contract was awarded to KC Civil Engineering Ltd., on the 23rd March 2015. The total cost of the project is estimated at €1.75million. The contractor has recently mobilised on site and works are expected to take nine months to complete. In order to facilitate and execute these works safely there will be significant traffic management in place for the duration and traffic delays are expected.
For Information purposes the Part 8 public consultation documents are available for inspection via the link hereunder.

Le Scanner coronaire, ou coro-CT, est un examen de tomodensitométrie permettant de visualiser les artères coronaires.

Historique
Les premiers scanners n'étaient pas adaptés à l'exploration cardiaque : l'acquisition d'une simple coupe nécessitait plusieurs secondes ce qui est impraticable pour un organe mobile.

Dans les années 1980, sont apparus les scanners à acquisition ultrarapide où une coupe pouvait être acquise en moins de 100 ms, rendant possible l'examen du cœur. La résolution restait cependant insuffisante pour examiner les artères coronaires (qui font de 1 à 3 mm de diamètre). Ces scanners ont alors été essentiellement utilisés pour l'estimation des calcifications de ces dernières, examen ne nécessitant pas d'injection. L'importance de celles-ci a été corrélée à la survenue d'accidents cardiaques.

Depuis, l'apparition des scanners dits  permet l'acquisition simultanée de plusieurs plans de coupe.

Technique
Il ne peut être fait qu'avec des scanners relativement récents, dits multi-barrettes (disponibles qu'à partir de 1999), permettant une acquisition simultanée sur plusieurs plans de coupe proches et une reconstruction tridimensionnelle de l'organe. Les premiers examens ont été faits au début des années 2000 avec les scanners 8 (image très médiocre dans ce cas) et 16 coupes. Les dernières générations de scanners permettent l'acquisition simultanée de 64 coupes. La résolution spatiale de ces derniers peut être inférieure à un demi millimètre.

Le cœur est un organe mobile (donc quadridimensionnel : trois dimensions d'espace + temps) et son étude en une seule passe n'est pas possible techniquement. Plusieurs acquisitions calées sur le même moment du cycle cardiaque (défini par l'électrocardiogramme qui est mis en place systématiquement pour chaque examen) sont donc nécessaires. Cela impose un rythme cardiaque pas trop rapide, qu'on peut ralentir artificiellement par l'injection de bêta-bloquants, ainsi qu'une régularité du cycle cardiaque (examen trop imprécis en cas de cœur irrégulier ou arythmie). La fréquence cardiaque est moins limitante chez les scanners de dernière génération comportant deux sources d'émission de rayons X au lieu d'une.

L'examen nécessite l'injection d'un produit de contraste iodé (Injection de 40 à 90 cm³ d'iode) avec les contre-indications de ce dernier (insuffisance rénale, allergie). Le lieu de l'injection, simple veine du bras, le distingue de la coronarographie qui nécessite une ponction d'une artère et la montée de guides, cathéters jusqu'au niveau du cœur. Le calcul du délai optimal entre l'injection et le début de l'acquisition des images est un facteur important pour la qualité de ces dernières. Il peut être estimé par une injection test d'un petit volume de produit de contraste en mesurant le temps où il apparait dans la racine de l'aorte, ce dernier pouvant également servir de déclencheur automatique de l'acquisition.

L'acquisition des images nécessite une immobilité absolue (donc une apnée) de l'ordre d'une dizaine de secondes. Elle permet l'acquisition de plusieurs centaines de coupes du cœur.

L'examen peut être fait en ambulatoire (c'est-à-dire sans hospitalisation) et le patient doit être à jeun.

Cet examen n'est pas réalisable chez tous les patients, des calcifications trop importantes, irrégularités de rythme ou encore une impossibilité pour le patient de rester immobile et en apnée rendent l'examen ininterprétable.

L'irradiation est de l'ordre de 10 à 15 mSv, suivant le protocole utilisé et la génération du scanner (elle est supérieure avec les scanners de dernière génération, à 64 coupes simultanées). Elle est donc significative (équivalente à près de 600 radiographies pulmonaires), et sensiblement supérieure à celle d'une coronarographie classique. Elle est théoriquement suffisante pour augmenter le risque de certains cancers à très long terme. Cette irradiation peut être sensiblement diminuée en réduisant l'intensité du rayonnement durant la systole (temps du cycle cardiaque où la définition tridimensionnelle est de moindre importance puisque les artères coronaires sont essentiellement visualisées en diastole, lorsque les ventricules sont les plus remplis).

Résultats
On obtient plusieurs milliers de coupes transversales de la cage thoracique (pour un scanner 64 coupes) à différents moments du cycle cardiaque. Les images sont regroupées tous les 10 % de ce dernier afin d'obtenir une reconstruction (une dizaine par cycle).

Un traitement informatique permet d'obtenir une reconstitution tridimensionnelle du cœur que le manipulateur peut bouger dans l'espace, grâce au logiciel. Des techniques de colorisation permettent de mieux voir les coronaires.

Un second traitement informatique de l'image permet d'aplanir chaque coronaire, dont le trajet est normalement tortueux et dont l'intégralité ne peut être visualisée dans un seul plan de coupe. Par cette méthode, la coronaire, en particulier son calibre et la présence ou l'absence de rétrécissement (sténose), peut être analysée sur une seule image.

Le contenu en calcium de l'artère peut être évalué (score calcique). Ce score peut être estimé avec un scanner classique, sans injection, et requiert une irradiation bien moindre qu'un scanner coronaire. Si le score est trop important, l'image sous-jacente se dégrade, rendant difficile l'analyse de l'artère coronaire.

Le volume ventriculaire peut être évalué en systole et en diastole, permettant de calculer la fraction d'éjection, indice important témoin de la qualité du muscle cardiaque.

Les autres structures thoraciques peuvent être également analysées.

Place par rapport à la coronarographie

Son utilisation a fait l'objet de recommandations par les sociétés savantes américaines, publiées en 2010.
L'examen de référence pour visualiser les coronaires reste la coronarographie. Il s'agit d'un examen invasif nécessitant une hospitalisation en service spécialisé et une ponction artérielle avec montée de sonde sous scopie. En contrepartie, il permet parfois de traiter dans le même temps le rétrécissement de l'artère coronaire détecté par une angioplastie.

Le scanner cardiaque est un examen relativement simple, indolore, peu dangereux si on respecte les contre-indications. Les doses de rayons X font qu'il ne peut être répété facilement car il entraîne une irradiation substantielle du patient, nettement plus importante qu'une simple radiographie, ou même qu'une coronarographie simple, entraînant un risque modéré mais quantifiable de survenue d'un cancer. Il permet d'éviter la coronarographie s'il démontre l'absence de lésion significative sur les artères coronaires (haute valeur prédictive négative, proche de 96 %). Sa spécificité est cependant plus faible (75 % en prenant la coronarographie comme examen de référence). Elle ne permet naturellement pas de traiter les lésions détectées. Il permettrait de détecter certaines lésions ne déformant pas la lumière (l'intérieur) d'une artère comme les plaques molles. Son utilisation dans la visualisation des pontages aorto-coronariens a été validée. L'évaluation de la perméabilité des stents (petits ressorts métalliques posés lors d'une angioplastie pour éviter la resténose) reste difficile à évaluer, le métal entraînant de nombreux artéfacts réduisant la qualité de l'image. Seuls les stents suffisamment grands peuvent être visualisés correctement.

Perspectives

La multiplication des plans de coupe permet une amélioration de l'imagerie, les modèles apparaissant en 2007 comportant ainsi jusqu'à 320 barrettes, permettant une très bonne qualité d'imagerie.

Certains scanners peuvent travailler simultanément sur des rayons X de deux énergies différentes, ce qui permettrait une meilleure caractérisation des tissus.

Le grand défi reste la diminution de l'irradiation. Plusieurs techniques sont en cours de test : modulation du courant suivant le signal électrocardiographique et fenêtre d'acquisition fixée suivant ce dernier.

Toxic Love? Ronnie Kisses Jen Harley On Red Carpet Before Explosive Battery Arrest
Source: MEGA (3)
By:Rosa Sanchez
Oct. 4 2019, Updated 1:13 p.m. ET
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro reunited with on-and-off girlfriend Jen Harley after their recent split and explosive cheating accusations.
This Thursday, October 3, the two were spotted holding hands and kissing while at the launch of Verge CBD in Los Angeles. They were all smiles and couldn't keep their hands off each other while posing for photos.
Unluckily for them, the joy didn't last long. RadarOnline.com can confirm the Jersey Shore: family Vacation star, 33, was arrested just hours later, following a "physical altercation."
The incident occurred this Friday morning, at around 2:40 a.m., at an Airbnb he was renting with Harley in Los Angeles.
"When officers on location, the suspect was uncooperative. Officers had to use a taser so there was minor use of force that occurred," the Los Angeles Police Department told Radar.
He was arrested for felony domestic violence. The LAPD spokesperson said a child was at the location at the time, but he/she was not harmed.
Various outlets reported Ortiz-Magro punched his girlfriend after their night out, chased her with a knife and eventually got tased by cops for refusing to calm down. Harley reportedly ran out of the house screaming for help and causing multiple people onlookers to call 911.
According to reports, a shirtless Ortiz-Magro was carrying 18-month-old daughter Ariana Sky as he yelled at Jen to get back in the house. He later dropped the weapon and locked himself inside with the child. Police allegedly broke down the door, worried the young girl could be in danger.
Fox 11 captured footage of Ortiz-Magro being sent to the hospital in an ambulance, handcuffed to a stretcher, after the incident. Paramedics said Harley had visible marks on her face and her daughter sustained no injuries.
