Q: Session timeout differences I am doing some support on a pretty big project. My assignment is to change the session timeout to something longer then what it is now. Right now they are logged off after about 10 min or so. I have found a lot of different things that it could be and i need some help figuring out what they all do.
first of all i got this one:
 <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="240" cookieless="UseCookies" />

This is triggerd after 240 mins so it can't be this one.
Then i got this:
  <binding name="WSHttpBinding_IFootprintService" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:00:01" sendTimeout="00:01:00" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true" allowCookies="false">

In that code there is a lot of different things that i could be. And i just can't figure out what the difference is between closeTimeout, openTimeout, receiveTimeout, sendTimeout, inactivitytimeout and sessionstate timeout?

A: Borrowing the response by @marc_s in this question

The most important is the sendTimeout, which says how long the client
  will wait for a response from your WCF service. You can specify
  hours:minutes:seconds in your settings - in my sample, I set the
  timeout to 25 minutes.
The openTimeout as the name implies is the amount of time you're
  willing to wait when you open the connection to your WCF service.
  Similarly, the closeTimeout is the amount of time when you close the
  connection (dispose the client proxy) that you'll wait before an
  exception is thrown.
The receiveTimeout is a bit like a mirror for the sendTimeout - while
  the sendTimeout is the amount of time you'll wait for a response from
  the server, the receiveTimeout is the amount of time you'll give you
  client to receive and process the response from the server.
In case you're send back and forth "normal" messages, both can be
  pretty short - especially the receiveTimeout, since receiving a SOAP
  message, decrypting, checking and deserializing it should take almost
  no time. The story is different with streaming - in that case, you
  might need more time on the client to actually complete the "download"
  of the stream you get back from the server.

Hope it helps,

Quick summary about timeouts:
On the client side:
SendTimeout – used to initialize the OperationTimeout, which governs the whole process of sending a message, including receiving a reply message for a request/reply service operation. This timeout also applies when sending reply messages from a callback contract method.
OpenTimeout – used when opening channels when no explicit timeout value is specified
CloseTimeout – used when closing channels when no explicit timeout value is specified
ReceiveTimeout – is not used Client-side Timeouts
On the service side:
SendTimeout, OpentTimeout, CloseTimeout are the same as on the client
ReceiveTimeout – used by the Service Framework Layer to initialize the session-idle timeout which controls how long a session can be idle before timing out.

> How UK energy policy is shaping the net zero future
How UK energy policy is shaping the net zero future
2021 was an important year for energy sustainability, supported by a series of UK energy policies and plans.
In order to deliver on the government's legally binding 2050 net zero commitment, a series of big UK policy headline announcements were made, including:
Commitment to decarbonise the UK's electricity system by 2035 – 15 years earlier than originally planned as part of Britain's legally binding 2050 Net Zero promise.
UK government commitment to a 78% cut in carbon emissions by 2035.
Ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars brought forward to 2030.
New homes and buildings, as well as those undergoing major renovation, will be required to install electric vehicle (EV) charge points from 2022.
Plans to introduce a Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate that puts thousands of more zero emission cars and vans onto UK roads.
New mandatory disclosure requirements making it compulsory for large UK firms to disclose climate-related financial information - set to come into force from April 2022.
Intention to align the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to the national net-zero target from 2024 onwards1, which is likely to mean more organisations face higher carbon prices.
Setting the policy direction for net-zero Britain
In October – just ahead of the COP26 Climate Change Conference, the government published its full Net Zero Strategy and its Heat and Buildings Strategy. These announcements were underpinned by billions of pounds of funding to support green innovation and decarbonisation across the power, transport and heat sectors.
The Net Zero Strategy set out the plan to 'lower Britain's reliance on fossil fuels by investing in sustainable clean energy, while reducing the risk of high and volatile prices in the future, and strengthening energy security'. The government claimed that this will generate up to £90 billion of private investment by 2030, and support 440,000 green jobs in 2030.
Little progress has been made in decarbonising the heat sector, which accounts for more than a third of the UK's total emissions. The Heat and Buildings Strategy emphasised the importance of improving the efficiency of buildings before upgrading heating systems. This is supported by a planned new energy performance-based rating system for large commercial and industrial buildings. The government also stated its intention to cut emissions from public sector buildings by 75% by 2037.
Heat pumps were stressed as a scalable replacement for gas boilers, while the future direction of hydrogen was delayed until 2026 – due to pending research, development, planning and innovation.
At the same time, HM Treasury's Net Zero Review2 was launched, together with the UK's first Net Zero Research and Innovation Framework3, which sets out the key net zero research and innovation priority areas for the UK over the next 5-10 years.
Read our full carbon reduction plan
Frameworks for a 'green industrial revolution'
October's big policy launches built on commitments made in the Clean Growth Strategy4 and 2020's Energy White Paper and 10-point plan for a 'green industrial revolution'. These were expanded by 4 key energy strategies announced earlier in the year.
1. Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy – Setting out how factories and industrial hubs across the UK should cut emissions by two-thirds over the next 15 years and by at least 90% by 2050, relative to 2018 levels. Pitched as an 'ambitious blueprint to deliver the world's first low-carbon industrial sector', the document stated that carbon markets are likely to provide the most cost-effective long-term pathway to decarbonisation. Alternative pathways were presented, dependent on the future availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen.
2. Transport Decarbonisation Plan – How the UK will reduce emissions from the transport sector, including policies to support the government's existing commitment to ban new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. This included support for EV charging and a proposed zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, which has now been confirmed.
3. Hydrogen Strategy – Lays the foundations for the UK's future hydrogen economy, which the government claims could represent 20-35% of the UK's future energy consumption. There was proposed support for new low-carbon hydrogen production, including the development of industrial clusters.
4. Smart System and Flexibility Plan – A vision to deliver a smart and flexible energy system that will meet the cost of net zero at lowest overall cost, reducing costs to consumers by an estimated £10 billion per year. This means using smart technologies to provide flexibility to the system, to help manage supply and demand.

The first Irish snow of 2019 is imminent according to the Met Éireann weather forecast swept in by a cold spell that will also include frost and ice.
But the snow is likely to be light and the forecaster says it will be followed by heavy rain showers during a snap of chilly weather that will run beyond the weekend.
Thursday is set to be a cold dry but mostly sunny day. However, clouds will increase from the west through the afternoon with outbreaks of rain developing along Atlantic coasts late evening time.
The freshening southerly winds will become strong southeasterly on Thursday night ahead of rain developing in the west.
"Temperatures will be below freezing in places and the rain will be preceded for a time by a fall of snow as it spreads eastwards across the country," says the forecast on its website.
The rain in the east will clear on Friday morning and it'll be mainly dry with sunny spells, although once again showers will affect western and northern coastal areas. Winds will be light southerly with temperatures of between 6 and 8 degrees, falling on Friday night to between minus 1 degrees in the south and plus 3 degrees in the north.
Saturday will be mostly dry with just a few showers on the coasts again and it will continue cold with temperatures largely unchanged. Winds will be light variable before becoming northerly.
A colder day is likely on Sunday with freshening cold northerly winds and outbreaks of rain moving eastwards over the country.
The further outlook is for continued cold conditions through the early days of next week.
Met Éireann's weather maps show a plunge in temperatures and heavy rain from Monday to Wednesday.

To comply with state and federal requirements, the Michigan Department of Education developed a ranking list for schools that attempts to measure school quality. This "Top-to-Bottom" ranking has been repeatedly criticized by school officials for appearing to be correlated with school poverty rates: Schools that serve more lower-income students tend to receive lower scores on the TTB list.
This study examines this issue and finds evidence that there is a statistically meaningful relationship between a school's poverty rate and its TTB ranking. Indeed, 55 percent of a school's ranking on the 2012-2013 TTB list could be explained by the portion of students enrolled who qualified for a federally subsidized free lunch. The study also finds that Michigan's TTB list is more highly correlated with school poverty rates than similar rankings in several other states.
These results matter because TTB rankings are used to impose consequences on low-ranking schools. Such a system risks penalizing schools based not on their actual performance, but rather on the portion of low-income students they happen to enroll. This study suggests that Michigan should look at how other states rank schools in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of penalizing schools for simply serving more disadvantaged students.
A survey of seven other states reveals the uniqueness of Michigan's ranking methodology, especially with regard to the way it measures how well schools serve low-scoring students. Other surveyed states measure the achievement gap between traditionally disadvantaged and more advantaged students, instead of measuring the relative size of the achievement gap between the top- and bottom-scoring 30 percent of students as Michigan does. Multiple states measure the academic growth of low-scoring students in each school as an indicator of overall school performance.
Consequences for low-ranking schools are also compared among these states. Michigan mandates particular staffing reforms for low-ranked schools in response to state and federal requirements. These include firing the school principal, replacing a majority of the staff, reopening the school as a charter school or even closing the school.
Other states incorporate more choice-based accountability into their school assessment system by permitting parents to transfer their children out of low-ranked schools and enroll them into higher ranked ones at state expense, including private schools in some cases. This study identifies several similar options that would bring this type of accountability to Michigan: 1) Fund districts that serve students outside their own borders; 2) Provide extra financial support to charter schools opening near low-ranked schools; 3) Remove all geographic barriers to Michigan's "Schools-of–Choice" program; and 4) Require districts to enroll nonresident students transferring from low-ranked schools, subject to reasonable enrollment limitations.
This study suggests that Michigan should reconsider both the methodology used for the state's TTB school ranking list and the state-imposed consequences levied on low-ranked schools. It also makes the case that a choice-based accountability system is preferred above any other, as it would allow students to escape schools that are not serving their needs and reduce the risk of penalizing undeservedly low-ranked schools.

Deciphering Corporate Governance and Environmental Commitments among Southeast Asian Transnationals: Uptake of Sustainability Certification
Promoting tropical forest sustainability among corporate players is a major challenge. Many tools have been developed, but without much success. Southeast Asia has become a laboratory of globalization processes, where the development and success of agribusiness transnationals raises questions about their commitment to environmental concerns. An abundance of literature discusses what determines the behavior of Asian corporations, with a particular emphasis on cultural factors. Our hypothesis is that financial factors, such as ownership structure, may also have a fundamental role. We analyzed the audited accounts of four major Asian agribusiness transnationals. Using network analysis, we deciphered how the 931 companies relate to each other and determine the behavior of the transnationals to which they belong. We compared various metrics with the environmental commitment of these transnationals. We found that ownership structures reflect differences in flexibility, control and transaction costs, but not in ethnicities. Capital and its control, ownership structure, and flexibility explain 97% of the environmental behavior. It means that existing market-based tools to promote environmental sustainability do not engage transnationals at the scale where most of their behavior is determined. For the first time, the inner mechanisms of corporate governance are unraveled in agricultural and forest sustainability. New implications such as the convergence of environmental sustainability with family business sustainability emerged.

Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve
After nearly a decade of lobbying and sustained efforts by a committee of dedicated environmentalists' including the MCSA, the Magaliesberg has been declared a world biosphere reserve in June 2015.
The announcement was made in Paris by the International Co-ordinating Council of the Programme on Man and the Biosphere (MAB) on Tuesday' according to a statement by the Magaliesberg Biosphere Initiative Group.
"This is a Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) programme that aims to build a supportive and sustainable relationship between people and their environments. In effect' this means a specific focus on safeguarding natural ecosystems through innovative approaches to economic development'" the group said.
The World Network of Biosphere Reserves' which Magaliesberg now joins' contains 631 biosphere reserves in 119 countries.
Vincent Carruthers' past chairman of the Magaliesberg Biosphere Initiative Group and author of The Magaliesberg' said the announcement was the culmination of a campaign that began in 2006.
"I'm most grateful there is now international recognition of this great mountain range that has witnessed the whole span of life' from its very origins'" he said.
"The Magaliesberg is almost 100 times older than Mount Everest and half the age of the earth' a unique treasure for us in this part of Africa."
Officials from South African environmental authorities were also at the meeting in Paris when the announcement was made.
"The Magaliesberg Biosphere will be formally registered by Unesco and the Department of Environmental Affairs in October'" said Mr Carruthers. "But before that happens we need to appoint a board of management for the biosphere."
The board will consist of representatives from 16 interest groups involved in the Magaliesberg.
The mountain range is under intense pressure from urbanisation and has lacked the support of a strong regulatory framework to back its status as a protected area.
"Our hope is that this recognition by a world body, and the renewed local focus it will put on the Magaliesberg, will energise initiatives towards greater protection and balanced and sustainable use'" Magaliesberg Biosphere Initiative Group chairman Paul Fatti said. "This is the duty the board of management will be taking on."
The Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve covers almost 358'000ha — 58'000ha make up the core area' 110'000ha the buffer area and 190'000ha the transition area. Besides the range's unique biomes — the central grassland plateaux and the sub-Saharan savannah — it has a rich biodiversity. The Aloe peglerae and Frithia pulchra are unique to the area that also has 443 bird species' almost half the total bird species of southern Africa.
In its report recommending that the Magaliesberg join the exclusive club of World Biosphere Reserves' the International Advisory Committee for Biosphere Reserves' said: "The area is endowed with scenic beauty' unique natural features' rich cultural heritage value and archaeological interest with the Cradle of Humankind' which is part of the World Heritage Site with 40-million years of history".

Gaining Currency
The Rise of the Renminbi
Eswar S. Prasad
Provides new perspectives on the RMB's role in global finance
Argues that the RMB will become a reserve currency but will not ascend to the status of a safe haven currency; it will erode but not challenge the dollar's dominance
Makes a strong case for why RMB is not a significant threat to the US dollar
Lays out exactly what it means to be an international currency and shows that the RMB is already one by certain definitions and has a long way to go by others
China's currency, the renminbi (RMB), has taken the world by storm. The RMB is well on its way to becoming a significant international currency, one that is used widely in international trade and finance. This book documents the RMB's impressive rise, with China successfully adopting a unique playbook for promoting its currency.
China's growing economic might, expanding international influence, and the rise of its currency are all intricately connected. The book documents how China's government has tied these goals together, enabling faster progress towards each of them. But there are many pitfalls ahead, both for China's economy and its currency. The book shows how the government has so far navigated its way around domestic and international dangers, but enormous risks still lie ahead.
The International Monetary Fund has elevated the RMB to the status of an official reserve currency, a currency that foreign central banks use to keep their rainy day funds. If China plays its cards right, with reforms that put its economy and financial markets on the right track, the RMB is going to become an important reserve currency that could rival some of the traditional reserve currencies such as the euro and the Japanese yen. But this book argues that there are limits to the RMB's ascendance-the hype about its inevitable rise to global dominance is overblown.
The Chinese leadership's apparent commitment to financial sector and other market-oriented reforms-coupled with unambiguous repudiation of political, legal, and institutional reforms-sets the RMB on a clear course. It will attain the status of a reserve currency over time but has essentially given up its claim of being seen as a safe haven currency, one that investors turn to for safety. The RMB will erode but not seriously challenge the U.S. dollar's dominance in international finance.

Book of Mormon's Josh Gad Will Play Sam Kinison
By Zach Dionne
A Sam Kinison biopic from director Larry Charles (Borat, Brüno, Religulous, Curb Your Enthusiasm) has landed Josh Gad as its star. Gad was an original Book of Mormon star, a part of the short-lived 1600 Penn, and he'll play Steve Wozniak in Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs movie. The Kinison flick begins in the eighties, "as he transitions from the family business of Pentecostal preaching and into stand up comedy in Hollywood," Deadline reports. Kinison died in a car crash in 1992, aged 38.

From now on you can hit www.slicktiger.co.za for my daily rantings and unbelievably radass posts.
Ya got that? Lemme reiterate in bigger letters so we're all on the same page here:

I had all these plans to relaunch the site and make it 500 times more badass, but you gotta take these things in baby steps, so let's just head on over to the new site (which right now looks EXACTLY like the old site) and take things from there.
See ya on the other side…

Ok, so I'm a little late with this one (the album officially launched in April) and for awhile I wasn't going to write a review because once an album is older than a month it's old news to cool kids like us, but I'm making an exception this time around.
Which is the long way around of saying this album is fucking awesome.
Alison Mosshart pissed me off when I heard her sing in the Jack White-lead supergroup The Dead Weather because it felt like she was faking it. Her vocal style and stage persona seemed contrived, something between Marla Singer and PJ Harvey, and it never sat right with me.
Then I stumbled on The Kills latest album Blood Pressures and literally one minute into the first track I found myself grinning from ear because of how dark and cool Mosshart sounded. Like butter wouldn't melt on her tongue, like she was everything sexy and dangerous in this world, like she could kill you with a look or break you with a smile.
The Kills is her band, her little broody-beautiful world that she shares with guitarist Jamie Hince and there's something about the fuzz and the mud and the malevolence and the majesty of it all that haunted me and continues to haunt me with every listen.
Sick Tracks:
Pick one. Go ahead. Close your eyes, wave your finger around and literally let it fall where it may and whatever plays will be awesome.
"You Don't Own The Road" saunters like a drunk cowboy waving his six shooter with the safety off, "DNA" stalks purposefully through the woods at dusk, picking its way through an undergrowth of drumsticks clattering against drumsticks whilst wading through a quagmire of swampy basslines.
"Baby Says" has the melancholy of a Cowboy Junkies track, a lilting melody to keep you company in the hollow hours before sunrise, a song that echoes back to better times.
But "Future Starts Slow" is still my favourite. Stark, defiant, sexy, it has a drum track that plays like a striptease and one of the simplest, most powerful riffs I've heard in a good long while.
Should You Give A Shit:
I loved this album, but what the hell do I know? I got a dark streak a mile wide that this album really speaks to but that doesn't mean you'll love it anywhere near as much as I do.
If nothing else, it's a great example of how simple, stylised riffs (played with truckloads of badass fuzzy effects) layered with amazingly complex drums and sultry, provocative vocals can seduce you to the point of infatuation.
If you want to know what the music playing in the jungles of my Tiger-mind sounds like, get your hands on this album and if you're anything like me, pretty soon it'll be playing through the jungles of your mind too.
Here's "DNA" to sink your fangs into.

We don't have a TV so it's been awhile since I've been exposed to the wonder that is South African television advertising and I'm a little sad about that.
I love SA TV ads because (with one or two exceptions) they are really, really, really terrible and almost always leave me staring in utter disbelief at the screen or canning myself at how goddamn retarded people are.
But on Saturday night I watched an ad so unbelievably unbelievable that the second it was over I jumped off the couch and shouted, "Did you just see that?! Tell me you just saw that!?" at J-Rab who nodded mutely, on the verge of lapsing into full-blown catatonia.
The ad was for the upcoming Baba Indaba where they are going to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most number of moms breast-feeding at the same time under one roof.
Call me an insensitive, immature asshole but MY GOD! How DISGUSTING is that?!
Thousands of pregnant women of all ages, sizes, creeds and colours whipping their swollen mammaries out at the same time while their young suckle at them hungrily like the little parasites they are.
Jayzuz, even writing about it is making me feel ill.
Also, how the hell do you POLICE something like that? I mean the previous world record was set in the Philippines where no less than 3 541 woman "breasted" at the same time!
Three and a half thousand! You'd need a team of literally hundreds of officials walking around making sure the moms weren't faking it to verify that shit.
How humiliating for the moms, it's like "Sorry ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to lift that blanket."
"What? What blanket? This blanket?"
"Yes, that blanket."
"Why, there's nothing to see under here, just junior having his lunch, that's all…"
"The rules state I have to actually see the breast in his mouth while he swallows ma'am, otherwise you're disqualified."
I'm sorry, I know this is a sensitive topic and everything and sure, it's all for a good cause, I get that, but still, bleaugh!
And the funniest part of it is they show this visual in the ad that's basically identical to the one below:
"Yummm", seriously? Who are they trying to sell this to?!
What mother is so stupid that she doesn't know babies like breastfeeding?
"The baby's saying 'Yummm'! I get it! It's saying 'Yummm' because it likes milk! Wow, I'm going to try that RIGHT AWAY!"
Also, think about this – when women breastfeed, oxytocin and prolactin, hormones that relax them and make them feel more nurturing toward their little grubs, are released.
So, if all goes according to plan, at Baba Indaba there will be over three and a half thousand women having the lactate furiously suckled from them at the same time while an ocean of feel-good hormones go racing through their brains, creating a gigantic rush of pure mammalian euphoria that will ripple through Nasrec like a wave of MDMA through a trance fest dance floor.
Huh. Come to think of it, that sounds pretty awesome. Wonder if they'll fly me up there and swing me free tickets after this awesome post I've given them…
Tags: bru and boegie, goldfish new video, mike scott, mike scott goldfish, we come together
All I'm doing today is posting a Goldfish video.
Yeah, yeah, I know this kind of commercial, mainstream, dancey-pop isn't what I usually go for but Goldfish is definitely one of the better SA bands out there and one of the few whose music I can listen to without wanting to take a baseball bat to my stereo (if I listened to commercial radio I'd probably hate them though, I hear they get played to DEATH on pretty much a daily basis).
But enough of that. The reason I'm writing this is because Mike Scott is a genius.
I went to prep school and varsity with the dude and even when he was a kid, he used to draw the sickest, funniest cartoons.
I've still got an A4 piece of paper somewhere with some of his early scribblings… wonder if it'll be worth anything one day (should probably dig it out and frame it or something. Even back then you can see it's Mike, he started developing his big-lips, crazy-eyes style from very early on).
The story I remember reading somewhere was that back in 2009 Mike just went ahead and animated a music video for Goldfish and sent it through to the band and the guys fucking loved it and now they use him to do all their videos.
I used to read his cartoon "Bru & Boegie" every day and I loved the shit out of it, even the completely random ones he did that looked like they literally took about 2 mins to draw. Some of it was hysterically funny and some of it was downright tortured and some of it just made total sense to me in the way it made no sense to me.
He stopped for a long time and moved onto bigger things, like the video below which is fucking melting faces all over the world with its undeniable awesomeness.
Check Mike's site out here for more of his work. He's a busy, busy guy but he's doing what he loves and making a HUGE name for himself.
Keep on keepin' on Mike and maybe one day those scribbles of "The Buttheads" you did back in prep school that I still have kicking around somewhere will put my kids through college
It's nearly half past three in the morning as I write this on the 16th of June, Youth Day, J-Rab's birthday.
It was a night that started out like many others have, with some vague plans to meet up and have a couple drinks with some friends, the few that we have in Cape Town, and see where the night might take us from there.
As is often the case with my life whenever crazy shit goes down, it was Captain Albatross that sparked everything off. I was sitting at work, the sky completely clouded over and black as the pit from pole to pole when he called, cackling down the phone like the maniac he is.
I love that man. He's family. But God knows he's out of his fucking mind.
At first I thought it might be a full moon. They call them 'lunatics' for a reason, people like the Captain. But it was much worse than that. An eclipse supposedly happened tonight but none of us saw it.
We were too busy ordering drinks. Drink after drink after drink. Spirits. They call them that because when you swallow them something else starts to take over, something that isn't you, and if you push it far enough you black out completely and for those murky hours to follow you change, and every bad thing inside you comes out.
By the time we met up with the Captain, it was already too late. He was two hours into his own private party and literally settled his tab moments after we arrived and left.
Deus absconditus. Loaded the dice and left the game.
Barbarian joined us at that exact moment and the feeling was good. The three of us, J-Rab him and I drank a drink or two. We talked a gigantic load of shit, we laughed and we drank more.
Me, I had a good buzz going. I kept it tapping along. That overwhelming need to drink myself out of myself was far, far away. It has been for some time. I must be getting old.
I was just enjoying the company of the people around me, listening to them get louder, smiling politely.
Fast forward to three hours later and all around me there was damage.
It was just people falling over other people, falling over other people. It was just shouting and spitting. It was just drinks tipping over and smashing to pieces on the floor, while cigarette smoke hung like a shroud of death above us all.
I wished I was more drunk but I was glad that I wasn't. I'm the only person who's going to remember what happened, but I was fine with that.
Until I got into the car to drive the three blocks between there and home and I started to think.
The people I choose to give a shit about, they are damaged, all of them. They have been bludgeoned by chance more than once and sometimes I feel like I have to squint to see them beneath all the scars.
It kills me, it really does, how ill equipped we to deal with this life. How innocent and pure we are at the beginning and what happens to us after that.
It's a fucking hard life for us all, but instead of accepting that fact and trying to make it easier for one another we deny it and try to pretend that our lives are so much better than the next person's and we are so much happier, so much more successful, so much more fulfilled.
We care so much about what other people think that we fail to see that they're just as fucked up as we are.
We damage ourselves, we damage the people around us and we are damaged by them in return.
I saw that damage tonight, ugly as it was, and wished I could have done something to have prevented it or fixed it in some way, but I can't.
None of us can. It's just life. And tomorrow we'll all wake up nursing aching heads and tongues dry as sawdust and we'll just carry on with our lives, brush our teeth and pretend everything is fine and nothing ever happened.
Life is easier with the blinkers on.
If you're lucky enough to afford that luxury.


Rc No 443 || Conduct the Competitions for High School Students on the topic "Mahathma Gandhi Freedom Movement and Life"
Sub: Department of School Education - SCERT, A.P., Amaravati - Conduct the Competitions for High School Students on the topic "Mahathma Gandhi Freedom Movement and Life" - Orders - Issued - Reg.
Government of Andhra Pradesh, Department of School Education is decided to conduct competitions on the topic "Mahathma Gandhi Freedom Movement and Life". In this connection all the District Educational Officers in the State are iformed that competitions will be conducted four levels i.e., School level, Mandal Level, District Level and State Level.
All the District Educational Officers are informed to communicate all MEOs and High School Head Masters and instruct them to conduct competitions for students studying Class VI to X in all high schools under all managements. The schedule and theme of competitions communicate to all and take necessary actions for conduct of said competitions.


One of the first duties that arises after a death is for someone to visit the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages covering the district where the death occurred to record the death in the official Register.
If it is difficult for you to travel to the district where the death occurred it is possible to register by declaration at your own local register office, although the procedure can delay the production of the certificate which will allow the funeral to proceed.Various people are permitted to register a death, although the Registrar will prefer a relative of the deceased to attend to it.
The registration of the death is one of the few things that the funeral director is not allowed to do on your behalf, but we will give full advice and assistance on all matters relating to registration. The Department of Work and Pensions booklet "What to do after a death" - which is available from us - also has helpful information on this subject.
When you visit the Register Office you will need to take the Doctor's Certificate of Cause of Death with you. We are able to liaise with the surgery to obtain this certificate for you. If you wish we will be pleased to collect it for you and deliver it to the Register Office. (A different procedure is followed if the death is reported to the Coroner). The death must be registered within five days. If you have the deceased person's medical card, birth certificate, marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate you could take those with you although if you don't have them it won't stop you from successfully registering the death.
The office responsible for dealing with the registration of deaths in the Hastings & Rother area of East Sussex is the Hastings Register Office, Town Hall, Queens Road, Hastings TN34 1QR. The office is open for the registration of deaths from Monday to Friday, 9:00 - 5:00. They do not close for lunch. You should telephone them on (01424) 726 530 to make an appointment.
One or more certified copies of the entry in the register (currently £4.00 each) - if a solicitor or bank asks you for an original death certificate they are referring to one of these certified copies of the entry in the register.
Form BD8 - if the Department of Work and Pensions needs to know about the death (issued free-of-charge).
Certificate for Burial or Cremation (the green certificate) (issued free-of-charge) which we will need so that we can deliver it to the relevant cremation or burial authority.


Solubility of proteins is one of the most important information because people need it for crystallization, food industry or engineering. That is why solubility of proteins is a subject often studied but the difficulty is that it is different with each protein. Moreover, it depends on many parameters such as temperature, pH, protein size (molecular weight) or salt concentration. This study focuses on finding models for correlating protein solubility and all its parameters for five proteins (concanavalin A, ovalbumin, glucose isomerise, lysozyme and xylose isomerise), and solubility with osmotic second virial coefficient in mind. Solubility and the osmotic second virial coefficient seem to be affected in the same way with temperature, salt concentration, molecular weight, isoelectric point and pH as the independent variables.

'Yikes!': Motorists wince as gas prices continue their upward climb
Becky McKanna was having one of those nail-biting gas station moments that have become so common lately.
Confounded by roadwork downtown, the Bakersfield bookkeeper pulled into the Chevron station on 24th Street, something she knew her husband wasn't going to be pleased with because of its relatively high prices. She put in the pump, set the auto-trigger and let it flow.
Normally her SUV fills up on $35, but not this time. Distracted by a visitor, she didn't look at the total until after the trigger clicked off. Fifty-six dollars.
"Yikes!" she said. "If it keeps up, I'm sure we're going to have to cut out pizza night."
Blame refinery problems, blame the gasoline tax, California's switch to summer-blend fuel or U.S. tensions with Iran — there are many reasons fuel prices are so high lately. Bottom line is, at a city-wide average of $4.09 per gallon Friday, unleaded cost 13 percent more than it did a year before. And the cost difference is beginning to take a toll.
As prices settle above the psychologically important barrier of $4 per gallon, people across the city are taking notice and coping in their own way.
Inching by
Some are driving less, some are cutting back on other expenses. Others are barely scraping by.
Isaac Flores works as a cashier at the low-price Gas War station at the corner of Meany and Fruitvale avenues. He said people recently began bringing in change to pay for gas.
He's also noticed more people's debit cards are getting rejected when they come in and try to fill up. Another thing happening lately, he said, is people are buying smaller amounts of gas, like paying $15 for groceries and $5 for fuel "just trying to inch by."
Sometimes, he said, when he goes out to change prices on the big signs out front people shout out to him, "Put the prices lower!" As if he could.
Bakersfield construction-company receptionist Jonnie Baiza said she used to enjoy going to the concierge-like Brookside Market & Deli and the Sully's convenience stores around town. But because they're located at gas stations where fuel prices are high, Baiza said, she's had to scale back and fill up elsewhere.
She's also taken to putting in just $20 or so at a time to keep a closer tab on her gas budget. Her fear is that prices will keep going up.
"You might be eating spaghetti instead of steak because of the price of gas," she said.
Bakersfield oilfield safety supervisor Steve Davis is feeling it, too. The way he sees it, the extra money going into his gas tank these days subtracts from the discretionary money he'd rather spend on his four kids.
"I feel like I'm taking money out of my kids' entertainment," he said.
Impacts on business
Local businesses are also feeling the pinch. Baiza noted the company she works for is having to pay higher fuel surcharges from its vendors, which only raises the cost of construction.
Paul, a manager at a special district in Bakersfield who declined to share his last name because he's not authorized to speak with news reporters, said the organization is sure to blow through its annual budget early this year.
The governing board may not be happy, he said, but with more than two dozen vehicles on the road every day, there's not much that can be done about it.
"We set aside X amount of dollars per year and you hope that covers it," he said.
Bakersfield structural engineer Zeferino Villanueva filled up his company-issued work truck at the Chevron on 24th Street. What used to be a $70 charge to the company credit card instead came to $87.50 Thursday evening.
The situation affects him personally when he's driving his own vehicle. Villanueva said he normally likes to pick up coffee and a donut in the morning.
"Now it's like, no, no more," he said.

Q: Highcharts: show series on legend but hide on chart Is there a way in highcharts where we can hide a series from the chart, but still display it on the legend?
Alternatively, can we add an imaginary/pseudo legend item but not really existing in the chart?
For context: the client asked us to color the bars depending on their category (the first 10 bars should be the default color dark blue, the next 2 bars would be colored blue, the last 3 bars light blue). Now they're requesting we put 3 legend items: Group A (for the first 10 bars), Group B (for the next 2), Group C (for the last 3). Group B and C do not need to be clickable as they are imaginary legends.

A: You can set up any number of dummy series, with no data, which will set up an entry in the legend.
To make sure the dummy series do not take up any space in the plot area, you can set grouping: false in the plotOptions.
Code:
plotOptions: {
  series: {
    grouping: false,
    events: {
      legendItemClick: function() {
        return false;
      }
    }
  }
}

The legendItemClick event returning false stops the legend from showing/hiding the series.  You could get much more elaborate with the function if you wanted different behavior.
Of course, if you wanted the full behavior of the legend, you can build the chart with three actual series, rather than using two dummy series, and just supply the data as [x,y] pairs.
