Q: What is the correct way to control a XAML controls fill color from c#? I want to bind a control fill color to a boolean in c#, so if it is false, the color is Red and if it is true, the color is Green.
Pretty new to XAML, but want to get into good habits from the start.
Thanks,
Ben

A: View models exist to convert data into a format that the UI can use, so create a property of type Color in the ViewModel for the form that does the logical conversion from the stored boolean value to a Color value.  Call this property 'DisplayColor'.
Use the INotifyPropertyChanged interface on the ViewModel to raise events on the 'DisplayColor' property every time the boolean value changes colour (if it changes over time).  This will ensure that the UI updates itself whenever the boolean value changes.
Then bind the color property of the control to the view model's new 'DisplayColor' property (you will have set the DataContext to the ViewModel, presumably).
I did this for the first time just yesterday :)

A: You could also implement an IValueConverter which performs the conversion between Boolean and Color. Then just bind the color property directly to the Boolean, but specify your new IValueConverter in the binding.
This approach can be especially useful when you don't have control over the classes you're binding to.

The Cloud Generation faces real security challenges.
We are migrating to Office 365. What should we do about cloud security?
Migrating to Office 365 means moving critical information from the safety of private data centers to the cloud. The added compliance and security risks demand an integrated approach.
We are migrating applications, workloads and data to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. How should our security evolve?
Moving core business resources from on-premises data centers to public clouds makes sense—yet, too many organizations fail to consider the security risks it creates.
We've been playing catch-up with security as we adopt cloud apps and infrastructure. How do we do it?
There's no better way to gain control of your security vulnerabilities than by integrating your end-to-end defenses with deeper visibility, stronger compliance, and serious threat protection extended across all your SaaS and IaaS workloads.
We have mobile users and remote sites. How can I leverage cloud to protect them?
Mobile users and the shift to cloud apps is creating security and compliance issues far beyond the safety of network firewalls. It's time to use the cloud as a security architecture to protect remote sites and mobile users.
We have people and data everywhere. How do we secure information and authenticate user access?
Can you reduce both the risk of breaches and the rising costs of protecting sensitive data wherever it goes? The answer is yes, but only if you have a fully integrated approach that prevents data loss, manages identity, and encrypts information in transit.
We worry about advanced threats as we move to the cloud. How do we stay protected?
Stopping advanced threats means having visibility across endpoints, email usage, web access, and cloud. See why Symantec combines multiple layers of integrated threat protection with the visibility of the world's largest global threat-intelligence network.
We have complex compliance issues. How do we manage risks and stay compliant as we move to the cloud?
The pressure on multi-national organizations to comply with stringent regulatory requirements create serious challenges for IT teams across the business. Get the facts about how Symantec can help you minimize compliance risks as you move to the cloud.
We have invested in IT defense with multiple vendors. How do we rationalize further investment in the cloud?
Juggling multiple point-solutions makes it nearly impossible manage end-to-end security issues (and the budgets needed to support them). Learn how to regain control and reduce costs through a single set of policies and management consoles.
We have data and systems in the cloud and on-premises. Can our SOC monitor it all?
Today's enterprises need to manage data and systems in the cloud with the same level of visibility and protection that's applied to on-prem environments. Learn to combine purpose-built cloud security technologies with experienced SOC expertise.

Effective May 12, the state Office of Dispute Resolution for the Eighth Judicial District (Larimer County) changed its mediation cancellation policy to match that of the rest of Colorado.
The statewide policy for cancelling participation in mediation proceedings without penalty is seven days for both civil and domestic cases. Prior to May 12, Larimer County, however, operated under a three-day cancellation policy for domestic relations cases and a seven-day policy for civil cases. The policy conflicted with statewide practices, leading to confusion.
The penalty for failing to cancel a domestic mediation within the seven-day period is $120. The penalty for civil cases is $150.
The Tenth Circuit issued three published opinions and three unpublished opinions Wednesday, described below.
In Fruitt v. Astrue, the Court determined that local rule W.D. Okla. L.R. 54.1 for the United States District Court, Western District of Oklahoma, does not establish a time limit for an Equal Access to Justice Act cost request.
In Phillips v. Workman, the Court reversed Phillips' death sentence and conviction for first-degree malice aforethought as the trial court's denial of his request that the jury be instructed on the non-capital lesser-included offense of second-degree depraved mind murder was contrary to Beck v. Alabama, 447 U.S. 625 (1980).

Modafinil (a stimulant drug normally used to treat narcolepsy, to help people with sleeping disorders to stay awake) could soon become the new "smart drug" according to a review published in European Neuropsychopharmacology. Neuroenhancement is the term used to describe the targeted enhancement and extension of cognitive and affective abilities based on an understanding of their underlying neurobiology. The FDA-approved drug modafinil, has been heavily researched for cognitive modulation in healthy humans, and appears safe for widespread use. Their review on the cognitive effects of the "smart pill" modafinil has found that it can improve the performance of healthy people on cognitive tasks, meaning it can be considered the first of these "neuroenhancement agents".

I'm starting this second year on my blog, trying to come up with new ways to grow Crystals and Catalysts and create content that you will like at the same time.
Starting with: One Paragraph Science.....
Starting from next week. Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays, I will be posting new news in science but in a new and different way. This is called One Paragraph Science where I will be condensing down news in science (obviously) to just one paragraph, whilst maintaining its meaning and keeping them, short, snappy and straight to the point.
This idea I believe, is a great challenge for me because condensing down a long piece of complex research is way harder than it looks.
New logo..?
Yes, I've made a brand new, shiny, more professional logo to go with Crystals And Catalysts. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do. :)
In this past year, my blog has been seen internationally in countries I would have never even dreamed of being seen in (which I think is absolutely amazing). My first priority for this blog is to ensure that everyone enjoys reading my new posts and understands them really well. I even have a google translate button in the sidebar. But as we all know, sometimes (or more often than not) google translate doesn't always correctly translate text in the ways its supposed to be.
I'd like to thank a really good friend of mine, who has offered to translate one of my blog posts in Arabic so that my blog could reach more corners of the earth.
MRSA (methicillin-resistant-staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacteria which is resistant to a number of widely used antibiotics, therefore making it one of the most difficult to treat bacterial infections.
Individuals with diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to wounding and often suffer from botched wound healing. Today, scientists in Egypt have produced antibacterial nanofibres of cellulose acetate laden with silver that could be used in a new type of bandage to promote tissue repair. Published in the journal of International Journal of Nanoparticles, the scientists reveal details of the new materials and their properties.
For years, scientists have been searching for a way to simplify the way drugs are made, making everything computerised, with minimal human interaction as possible. Previously I have reported on a new technology called molecular printing, click HERE to read it first.
Now for the first time, the FDA has approved the first prescription drug made via the new and similar technique: 3D printing.
DNA. DNA is the delicate and intricate molecule that decides everything about us. Who we are. What we'll look like. And most importantly: our health. DNA is all our details and information stored into a delicate molecule.

Happy Birthday, Blog!
It's been a year since my blog Crystals and Catalysts has been launched! I cannot believe its been a year already.
New research published in the University of York shows that sugar has a significant effect in reducing the bitterness of tea and coffee, particularly by manipulating the essential chemistry.
Sugar has a strong way of affecting chemical "water structure" and this enables it to suppress the bitter taste of tea. The researchers also look into how sugar is able to change the structure of caffeine – when it has additives and without additives.
Scientists have found that intestinal bacteria play an important role in inducing anxiety and depression.
Published in Nature Communications, the new research is the first of which studies the role of intestinal microbiota in the altered behaviour that is a consequence of early life stress. Previously there has been little research on this subject. All scientists knew was that intestinal bacterium can affect behaviour, but this was all based upon research conducted on healthy mice.
[Definition: Microbiota - noun – the microorganisms of a particular site, habitat, or geological period.]
"We have shown for the first time in an established mouse model of anxiety and depression that bacteria play a crucial role in inducing this abnormal behaviour," said Premysl Bercik, senior author of the paper and an associate professor of medicine with McMaster's Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine. "But it's not only bacteria, it's the altered bi-directional communication between the stressed host -- mice subjected to early life stress -- and its microbiota, that leads to anxiety and depression."
Within this study, the researchers subjected mice to early life stress with a procedure of maternal separation, meaning that from day three to 21, newborn mice were separated for three hours each day from their mothers and then put back with them.
Initially, Bercik and his team confirmed that conventional mice with complex microbiota. These mice also showed gut dysfunction based on the release of a major neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.
After that, they repeated the same experiment in germ-free conditions and found that in the absence of bacteria mice which were maternally separated still have altered stress hormone levels and gut dysfunction, but they behaved similar to the control mice, not showing any signs of anxiety or depression.
Subsequently, they found that when the maternally separated germ-free mice are colonized with bacteria from control mice, the bacterial composition and metabolic activity changed within several weeks, and the mice started exhibiting anxiety and depression.
"However, if we transfer the bacteria from stressed mice into non stressed germ-free mice, no abnormalities are observed. This suggests that in this model, both host and microbial factors are required for the development of anxiety and depression-like behaviour. Neonatal stress leads to increased stress reactivity and gut dysfunction that changes the gut microbiota which, in turn, alters brain function," said Bercik.
He said that with this new research, "We are starting to explain the complex mechanisms of interaction and dynamics between the gut microbiota and its host. Our data show that relatively minor changes in microbiota profiles or its metabolic activity induced by neonatal stress can have profound effects on host behaviour in adulthood."
Bercik said this is another step in understanding how microbiota can shape host behaviour, and that it may extend the original observations into the field of psychiatric disorders.
"It would be important to determine whether this also applies to humans. For instance, whether we can detect abnormal microbiota profiles or different microbial metabolic activity in patients with primary psychiatric disorders, like anxiety and depression," said Bercik.

The full class of interns graduating from the inaugural Dubai Business Associates (DBI) programme.
The inaugural class of interns have graduated from Dubai Business Associates (DBI) – a prestigious programme run under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. Facilitated by Falcon and Associates, the programme saw its first intake celebrate their achievement during a graduation ceremony held at the Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai on Wednesday June 10th, 2015.
All 17 interns were awarded on stage for completing the intensive 10-month fully-funded course of academic training, cultural exposure and Dubai-based work placements. The full DBI programme team were in attendance at the ceremony as well as senior representatives from the DBI Placement Partners – some of Dubai's leading companies and government entities including: Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), Dubai International Financial Centre Courts (DIFC Courts), DP World, Emirates Group, Emaar, Emirates NBD and Jumeirah Group.
"At its heart, DBI serves as a bridge. A bridge between academic theory and practical experience, between two different cultures and most importantly, between the present and the future. Over the past ten months we have equipped this talented group with the necessary skills not only to enter today's incredibly competitive global workforce, but to excel in it and make a meaningful impact. Even at this stage, it is encouraging to see the interns adopting the role of cultural ambassadors for Dubai however ultimately, the success of DBI will be measured by what the future holds for its alumni and that looks very bright indeed," said James Maughan, Director of Dubai Business Associates at Falcon and Associates.
As part of the ceremony three individual awards were presented to interns singled out for particular praise as well as a group award to the team who produced the most impressive end of year consultancy project. Having now graduated, some of the interns have secured roles within Dubai with others have chosen to continue studying in their respective universities around the world.

On Canine Dasein: Frank Bidart's Metaphysical Dog
Metaphysical Dog
Frank Bidart
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $24 (cloth)
Metaphysical Dog is winner of the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award.
A searing yet inconclusive investigation into the very nature of being—what Heidegger, recalling the Greeks, called phusis, the emerging sway—Frank Bidart's Metaphysical Dog trenchantly engages issues of consciousness, cognition, and the body's physical decay. Given Bidart's hyper-attention to etymology, his poems create a fitting space in which to discuss ontological issues, as the very lexicon of being is always in flux. For the aging Bidart, the nature of being—and therefore, nonbeing—is a very real question, one embedded in the growing awareness of his own mortality. Building on the intimate lyrics of Watching the Spring Festival (2008) and Star Dust (2005), Metaphysical Dog explores the investigatory process by which human thinkers grope toward knowledge, resigning themselves to the inevitable limitations of language, thought, and ultimately, the body.
Long a source of trepidation for Bidart, questions of the body and its suitability to human consciousness pervade Metaphysical Dog. The title poem illustrates this discord, introducing the reader to Belafont, a figure "who reproduced what we did / not as an act of supine // imitation, but in defiance." Bidart strategically withholds Belafont's identity until the fourth line, where he reveals him to be a dog, one with his "butt on couch and front legs straddling / space to rest on an ottoman, barking till / his masters clean his teeth with dental floss." The poem concludes, "How dare being / give him this body. // Held up to a mirror, he writhed." Belafont, like the humans he imitates, repudiates his image as unrepresentative of the self within.
One problem remains. The dog is not, as Heidegger would say, capable of Dasein: he is presumably unaware of his own being, and thus incapable of questioning his essence or that of others. Nor, for that matter, can he reject his body. Belafont's rejection is purely a projection of the attitude of the human speaker holding and observing him. The dog's writhing amounts to nothing more than the contortions of an irritated animal, clasped in his master's grip. What, then, does this say about the speaker? His projection onto Belafont—"How dare being / give him this body"—betrays dissatisfaction with his own appearance. It also conveys his frustration about the dog's behavior, which, if the speaker is meant to parallel the dog, imitates the frustration of the speaker's own master. But who or what is master of the speaker? A God or gods? It is not easy to tell if we confine our reading to "Metaphysical Dog."
The following poem, "Writing 'Ellen West,'" illuminates this question of the master's ontology by exploring the poet's daedal power to substitute language symbolically for life. A metatextual elegy for Bidart's mother, "Writing 'Ellen West'" reflects on the composition of his 1977 dramatic monologue "Ellen West," reviving the emotional climate in which he created the poem. As Bidart explains, he composed the original poem "in the year after his mother's death," allowing him to exorcise "that thing within Frank that wanted, after his mother's death, to die." Bidart expels his grief by giving Ellen's "life a particularity and necessity," replacing his mother—or the poetic idea of her—with a lengthy monologue spoken in the voice of an anorexic psychiatric patient. By giving Ellen West particularity, if only through language, he bestows on her a kind of material presence: he grants her, in a manner of speaking, a body. Ellen's body—the materiality Bidart grants it through language—substitutes his mother's body, now devoid of agency and beginning to decay.
Read in isolation, "Ellen West" could hardly be considered an elegy, certainly not one written in memory of the poet's mother. Nothing in the poem itself indicates its elegiac nature, which Bidart reveals only years later through this very personal reflection on the text's creation. The original poem does address mind-body issues similar to those he adumbrates in "Metaphysical Dog," but "Ellen West" offers a very different perspective on this conflict: its speaker is severely anorexic. Ellen is not merely dissatisfied with her body; she imposes a corporeal ideal on what she perceives to be a flawed manifestation of her self. "[M]y true self," the speaker claims, "is thin, all profile / and effortless gesture." The poem dramatizes Ellen's efforts to control her physical image by starving herself, an effort to become the "sort of blond / elegant girl whose / body is the image of her soul."
"Writing 'Ellen West'" resurrects Ellen's mind-body conflict, figuring it within an elegiac lens in order to emphasize the separation of these entities after death. Bidart states:
Ellen lived out the war between the mind and the body, lived out in her body each stage of the war, its journey and progress, in which compromise, reconciliation is attempted then rejected then mourned, till she reaches at last, in an ecstasy costing not less than everything, death.
Bidart's refers to "ecstasy," which in English means something akin to "rapture," as in a deep frenzy or stupor, but the word derives from the Greek ekstasis, meaning "to displace," or literally, "to stand outside of one's body." This dislocation is precisely what occurs in death, as consciousness—what we sometimes call "soul"—no longer inhabits the body. Bidart suggests here that Ellen's death resolves the discrepancy between her real and ideal images by separating the former from the latter. At this point, what happens to consciousness is anyone's guess. For some, religion fills that gap. To Bidart, death goads him to write "One more poem, one more book in which you figure out how to make something out of not knowing enough."
This lack of knowledge, which Bidart attempts to ameliorate via poetic creation, rests at the heart of Metaphysical Dog. The speaker acknowledges that he lacks knowledge not only of death and the afterlife, but also of God, of purpose, and of absolute truth. "Hunger for the Absolute" articulates this struggle, groping for absolute certainty of the phenomenological world, while also meditating on the speaker's mortality. Bidart writes, "Earth you know is round but seems flat. // You can't trust / your senses." The mind-body conflict of previous poems here modulates into a phenomenological one. The Cartesian quandary—that one cannot trust sensory input—leads the poet into a state of extreme doubt. If one cannot trust the senses, what can one trust? Moreover, if sensation is unreliable, how can one possibly comprehend the physical world objectively? The prospect seems impossible.
Bidart then proceeds, "You thought you had seen every variety of creature / but not // this creature." The creature's identity is never revealed because the totality of one's perception fails to encompass the whole of phenomenological reality. No one individual can experience the entire physical world; the perceiver must settle for that experience which sensation makes available. Bidart continues:
When I met him, I knew I had
weaned myself from God, not
hunger for the absolute. O unquenched
mouth, tonguing what is and must
remain inapprehensible—
saying You are not finite. You are not finite.
Whoever this creature is, he disabuses the speaker of any notional deity. But "God" is just one entity beyond the reach of the speaker's perception. Objective reality, which encompasses such questions as purpose, essence, and what happens to the soul after death, also continues to elude him. Nevertheless, "hunger" persists. By framing the desire to know within the metaphorical context of appetite, Bidart renders corporeal a problem that is entirely conceptual, one that is difficult precisely because it is intangible.
Bidart's diction—"weaned," "unquenched / mouth"—recalls hunger and eating. The final phrase in the poem's litany, "tonguing what is and must / remain inapprehensible," indicates the physicality of this questioning; the gerund stresses the continuous nature of this act. Moreover, by enjambing the line after "is and must," Bidart emphasizes necessity: objective reality, by the mere nature of perception, evades human understanding; sheer subjectivity precludes the possibility of absolute truth; nonetheless, human beings must pursue metaphysical questions—must "tongue" the inapprehensible—even if the answers perpetually elude us.
Indeed, the answers do elude us. Despite Bidart's material emphasis, he recognizes that absolute truth is "inapprehensible." "Apprehend" derives from the Latin apprehendere, meaning "to take hold of" or "to grasp." Not only do metaphysical questions elude human understanding, they also resist our attempts to "grasp" them, even to render them in language. In this light, Bidart renders the final line futile, even as the speaker utters it: "You are not finite. You are not finite." Not only is the speaker mortal, as all living things are, but even this attempt to resist his own finitude remains subject to the limitations of language.
Opening his Metaphysics, Aristotle states, "All men naturally desire to know." While the answers to metaphysical questions continue to escape us, Bidart's intimate look into the questioning process illumines human being as such. For Bidart, it is not knowing that matters, but the process of coming to know. This coming-to-know illustrates the poet's role in shaping human experience. For ultimately, what makes us human is our ability to inquire—to wonder at our purpose in the world and our mortality, even if the best we will ever be able to do is simply mouth the question.

The global economy is increasingly integrated from the perspective of capital but increasingly fractured from the perspective of labour.
Freer capital flows, relentlessly expanding global companies, and expansive trade policies have made the world a smaller place for capital. In contrast, labour mobility is limited and workers in the global economy are isolated from each other even as their labour contributes to the consolidation of the global commodity chain.
The garment industry is arguably the most integrated international industry today. It has globalised and repeatedly re-structured its production in the last two decades moving from continent to continent in search of cheap labour and large scale competitive advantage. Its production is spread across the globe, primarily in the Global South in regions like Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia.

America The Beautiful (And Freezing)
Filed Under:climate change, Drought, Everyday Earth, snow, weather, Winter, Winter Storm
Icy Water In NYC (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
Much of the U.S. is currently facing bitterly cold temperatures from the Midwest to the South and all the way up to the Northeast.
In fact, many parts of the U.S. have already broken records for snowfall and below zero temperatures while other parts have seen unseasonably warm temperatures.
It all gives some credibility to the idea of "Global Weirding," a new word for the anomalies like extreme winter storms and droughts caused by climate change.
Looking across the U.S., "Global Weirding" is definitely in full effect:
THE NORTHEAST
The most obvious case is in Boston, where this winter has left the city within a foot of reaching the snowiest winter in its history.
This winter alone has produced 95.7 inches of snow, 11.9 inches away from the 1995-96 record of 107.6 inches of snow. And with winter weather lasting for about another three to four weeks, breaking that record could become a very likely reality.
The Northeast also saw the second longest streak of subfreezing days ever recorded in its history with 15 consecutive days of temperatures below 32 degrees; 1961 has the longest running with 16 days.
However Northeast cities like Boston aren't bearing all of the brunt.
At 2 degrees, New York City faced its coldest day in this year's winter season, prompting the Fire Department of New York to advise people to take caution in venturing outdoors.
Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, new records are being broken almost weekly with temperatures dipping as low as -17 degrees.
The Midwest hasn't fared that well this winter either.
In Detroit, February is getting very close to being among the top five coldest months on record.
"We're running about almost 12 degrees below normal this month," explains Accuweather Meteorologist Dave Bowers.
That makes this winter close to the coldest month in Detroit in 1977, which had an average temperature of just under 13 degrees.
The record-breaking one and half inches of snow didn't help matters.
Other states like Minnesota and Illinois are also facing large amounts of snowfall, causing flight cancellations and messy commutes for those willing to brave the cold.
At times, the South is known for overreacting to the cold and snow that many in the Northeast and Midwest have become accustomed to, however this winter has created a few understandably treacherous conditions for Southerners in places like Georgia and Alabama.
A winter storm this season left thousands without power and hundreds stranded on highways awaiting some form of assistance even though officials urged people to stay off the roads.
"People were trying to get wherever they could," Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson said. "A lot of people had run out of gas."
While feet of snow did not hit the South, inches of the cold powder did accumulate a good number of inches in North and South Carolina, and while the cold is usually no laughing matter, a town in Kentucky jokingly issued an arrest warrant for Ice Queen Elsa from Disney's "Frozen." Apparently the police were fed up with all the snow.
Winter for the West hasn't been the typical winter that the majority of the U.S. sees, but that doesn't mean they aren't dealing with its own weather quirks from abnormally warmer temperatures to droughts.
While Denver faces one of the worst winters on record, the Northwest is seeing temperatures warm enough to make flowers bloom and keep people active outside.
At a little north of 60 degrees, states like Washington and Oregon are seeing sun-filled, dry days that could be a result of El Nino, a weather pattern that warms the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
In California, droughts have caused cutbacks in water use; even at restaurants.
Even tactics like draining lakes are being used to address the drought issues facing the West, drawing concern and questions from residents of the Sunshine State.
Needless to say, this winter has created some of the strangest weather in history of the U.S. Climate change may have a role to play in all of it, but for now, people are probably more concerned with just surviving the brutal weather attacks long enough to make it to spring.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 will be introduced together with the Galaxy S9+ on February 25 at the Samsung Unpacked event during the Mobile World Congress 2018. Barcelona will be filled with new smartphones that weekend from numerous OEMs from all over the world. The LG and Huawei are not included so we're expecting not to be too overwhelmed this year. The Samsung Galaxy S9 duo is possibly the most premium Android phone there but Sony is also expected to roll out another premium offering.
Since Bixby is one major feature, expect the smart voice assistant to be available on the yet-to-be-released Galaxy S9 and S9+. To make things more exciting, Samsung will actually use the Bixby voice assistant to guide the user in setting up the new phones. This is one interesting move because it will be a first in the Android arena.
Imagine setting up the device just by "talking" to Bixby. Bixby can and will connect the phone to WiFi and set up accounts. This is according to APK files of Android Oreo for the Galaxy Note 8. There are several references in the SetupWizard APK pertaining to Bixby use.
Bixby is definitely useful. Setting up a new phone for first use usually takes time so having the voice assistant to do work for you will make it more convenient. We're talking about Galaxy Note 8 here but the Galaxy S9 Android Oreo build is almost the same. We're assuming the S9 will have the same feature but with slight changes. Bixby on both phones must be updated yet before the improvements will apply.


The second offer is in for Bullard 2017 tight end Major Tennison, and it came from Oklahoma State, the Panthers standout announced via Twitter on Thursday afternoon.
Tennison (6-4, 220) now has two FBS offers after receiving an offer from Texas Tech back in the spring.
Oklahoma State now has two offers out to East Texans in the 2017 recruiting class -- Tennison and John Tyler receiver and recent Texas commit Damion Miller.
The Cowboys, coached by Mike Gundy, compete in the BIg 12 Conference. They finished the 2014 season with an overall record of 7-6, 4-5 in league play. Oklahoma State wrapped up the year with a 30-22 victory over Washington in the Cactus Bowl on Jan. 2.
Tennison, also a basketball standout, should continue to pick up steam on the recruiting landscape in the coming months. His size and pass-catching ability at this stage of his high school career suggests a high ceiling.
Tennison and Bullard, which competes in District 5-4A Division II along with Canton, Emory Rains, defending state champion Gilmer, Nevada Community, and Melissa, will be a team to watch in 2015 after going 7-4 overall and 3-2 in league play last season.

The many faces of childhood cancer: Sarah Levin
Posted on 19 Sep 2012 by Guest Blogger
More On: Cancer, childhood cancer, National Childhood Cancer Awarness Month, pediatric cancer
Sarah Levin is 11 years old, and has beaten acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) twice. This is her story.
Sarah and her mother Michelle
The first time I got diagnosed with ALL I was only three, so I don't remember that much about it. But what my mom and dad have told me is that it was a really sad and scary time for my family. It happened a week before my 3rd birthday. I actually spent my 3rd birthday in at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center (DF/CHCC) on 7 West, which used to be the oncology floor. It was very challenging for my mom and dad to split time between me and my sister. They both wanted to be with me, but they also wanted to be with her and help her through such a hard time.
I remember getting lumbar punctures and a drug called asparaginase, which aren't good memories because in trying to help me, the doctors had to poke me with sharp needles and inject me with fluids. But I also remember some good things, like when Winnie the Pooh came to visit me on my 3rd birthday. I had been having a really bad day until he came into my room, then everything got better. I also really liked going to the Blum Resource Center to play with all the toys they had there. And I did lots of crafts, which took my mind off things.
I remember a lot more about the second time I got sick because it was a month before my 9th birthday. I remember when I first got diagnosed: We were just driving into the driveway from picking my sister up from school when my pediatrician called with the news. I had gone in to her office that morning for a blood test because I had been feeling very tired and had a low fever and my mom thought I looked really pale. When she called to tell us I got on the phone and asked her, "Am I going to die?" She told me, "There are more medicines now that the first time you got sick, so I think it will be okay."
We went right to the ER, where the doctors ran a number of blood tests, put in IVs and started giving me fluids. It was the scariest time of my life; I didn't know if I was going to live or die.
I went up to 6 North, which was the new oncology floor. All the nurses were so kind and nice—they made me feel like family. The next day the doctors did a bone marrow biopsy and an LP to see how much cancer was in my bone marrow and if it was the same kind of cancer that I had when I was three. Indeed it was: I had relapsed ALL.
I started chemo on March 12, 2010. Chemo was hard. I got very sick, but never threw up. The worst part for me was how long it was and how cruddy I felt. I went through my first month of treatment, during which Lewis Silverman, MD, and my other doctors gave me steroids, vincristine and other meds. But I didn't go into remission after that first month, as Dr. Silverman had hoped, so I had to go through much harsher and stronger second round of chemo. It worked, but it had many awful side effects. I got a burn from the inside out so that my skin looked sun burned, I had fevers and rashes…it was really miserable.
What helped my family and me get through were the nurses—they were amazing! We talked about girl stuff and gossip; they were more like girlfriends to me than nurses. They answered all my questions with truthful answers, instead of just telling me stuff to make me feel good.
Because I didn't go into remission after my first month of chemo, I had to have a bone marrow transplant. It was very scary for me at first, because I didn't know what to expect and I didn't know much about transplants. But once my doctors told me about it and what everything would be like, I was not as scared. I started with intense chemo and full body radiation for six days, and then I got my transplant. I can't remember it too well because I was on so much pain medication, but I remember it really stunk.
What I do remember is walking up and down the hallway everyday. It was 17 laps to a mile. I usually did at least one mile a day. The nurses told me that it was great that I was walking because it would help me get out of the hospital faster. A lot of kids don't walk because you feel so cruddy after a transplant. You just want to sit in bed and watch TV. But I'm a pacer: when I don't feel good, it makes me feel better to walk. When I got out of the hospital after 28 days, the nurses said it was because I walked and kept eating.
Lewis Silverman, MD
Once I went home I did better by the day. But it was hard because for that first year I had to stay in isolation while my body got stronger; I couldn't go to anyone's house and they could not come into mine. My mom thought of all these crazy ideas like buying a heater so we could hang out in the garage and renting a tent so we could have Thanksgiving with the family.
Being in isolation was really hard because I couldn't go any place and I missed some good celebrations. I couldn't even go to school, so I was home schooled. Thinking back I really liked home schooling because it was only 2 ½ hours a day, but I still got all the work done that my friends were doing at school. I got so much time to hang out at home and do what I wanted, except I couldn't go places.
When I got out of isolation I went everywhere. The first time I went to the supermarket I was like a kid in a candy store. I wanted to look at everything! I was so excited to be in public, I hadn't been to a grocery store in over a year. I will never take going to any store for granted now.
I had so many experiences, good and bad; it was a journey to hell and back again. But now I am thriving. I am in gymnastics, on a rock climbing team and I am back in school. Sometimes I feel like it was so long ago that it hardly happened. If I tried to tell my whole story, it might take me 100 pages…

SÃO PAULO—October 9, 2017—Competitive with coal-based power generation, the sharply reduced solar-based electricity price continues to push boundaries of technology to further reduce the cost of energy production. With a 50 percent increase of power voltage compared to the previous versions, 1,500-volt solar technology is leading the trend to continue lowering the cost of electricity amid the increasingly competitive solar industry.
GE Power (NYSE: GE) was recently chosen by Atlas Renewable Energy to provide LV5 1,500-volt solar skid solutions to two solar projects—Juazeiro and São Pedro—located in Bahia State, north of Brazil. The state-of-the-art, 1,500-volt inverter technology from GE's Power Conversion business enables a simplified and more-efficient farm infrastructure layout while reducing investment costs for constructions. Compared to its 1,000-volt peers, it can reduce up to 3 percent of the system cost and save up to 15 percent of inverter operating expenses.
"Levelized cost of energy is a key indicator to drive investment decisions, among which capex and opex are fundamental drivers. GE's solutions would ensure the bankability of our solar plants, ensuring that our assets are backed by a reliable and competitive solution that complies with our stringent quality and long-term performance standards," said Carlos Barrera, CEO, Atlas Renewable Energy.
GE will provide the inverters that sit in 4-megawatt (MW) or 2-MW solar skids for the 120-MW Juazeiro project and 54-MW São Pedro project. Manufactured in its factory in Betim, GE's LV5 obtained accreditation from the Brazilian Economical and Social Development Bank (BNDES). This achievement marks GE as the first supplier of 1,500-volt solar inverter technology compliant with Finame requirements. The BNDES accreditation will allow GE's customers to get BNDES financing at more attractive interest rates. GE has so far secured nearly 1 gigawatt of order in the country and will ship in total half a gigawatt by the end of this year to support local solar farms.
Established in 2017, Atlas Renewable Energy is a renewable energy developer formed by the private investment firm Actis. The company was founded as a result of an acquisition of over 1,500MW of SunEdison's Latin American assets by Actis. Atlas Renewable Energy's operational scope encompasses Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay and Chile. Atlas is Actis' fifth power generation platform in Latin America, following recent investments in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Central America.

Q: First time using select(), maybe a basic question? i've been working for a few days with this server using select(). What it does, is that, i have two arrays of clients (one is "suppliers", and the other is "consumers"), and the mission of the server is to check whether the suppliers have something to send to the consumers, and in case affirmative, send it.
The second part of the server is that, when the consumers have received the suppliers' info, they send a confirmation message to the same suppliers that sent the info.
When a client connects, it gets recognized as "undefined", until it sends a message with the word "supplier" or "consumer" (in Spanish, as i'm from there), when the server puts it in the correct clients array.
Well, what the server does is not very important here. What's important is that, i'm doing both parts with two different "for" loops, and that's where i'm getting the problems. When the first user connects to the server (be it a supplier or a consumer), the server gets stuck in the first or second loop, instead of just continuing its execution.  As it's the first time i'm using select(), i may be missing something. Could you guys give me any sort of help?
Thanks a lot in advance.

                }
            }
        }
    }

A: Hmm, I think your logic is all wrong.  It should look something more like this (warning, untested pseudo-code):
for (;;)
{
   // First, set up the fd_sets to specify the sockets we want to be notified about
   fd_set readSet;  FD_CLR(&readSet);
   fd_set writeSet; FD_CLR(&writeSet);
   int maxFD = -1;
   for (int i=0; i<num_consumers; i++)
   {
      if (consumer_sockets[i] > maxFD) maxFD = consumer_sockets[i];
      FD_SET(consumer_sockets[i], &readSet);
      if (consumer_has_data_he_wants_to_send[i]) FD_SET(consumer_sockets[i], &writeSet);
   }
   for (int i=0; i<num_producers; i++)
   {
      if (producer_sockets[i] > maxFD) maxFD = producer_sockets[i];
      FD_SET(producer_sockets[i], &readSet);
      if (producer_has_data_he_wants_to_send[i]) FD_SET(producer_sockets[i], &writeSet);
   }

   // Now we block in select() until something is ready to be handled on a socket
   int selResult = select(maxFD+1, &readSet, &writeSet, NULL, NULL);
   if (selResult < 0) {perror("select"); exit(10);}

   for (int i=0; i<num_consumers; i++)
   {
      if (FD_ISSET(consumer_sockets[i], &readSet)
      {
         // There is some incoming data ready to be read from consumer_socket[i], so recv() it now
         [...]
      }
      if (FD_ISSET(consumer_sockets[i], &writeSet)
      {
         // There is buffer space in consumer_socket[i] to hold more outgoing
         // data for consumer_socket[i], so send() it now
         [...]
      }
   }
   for (int i=0; i<num_producers; i++)
   {
      if (FD_ISSET(&producer_sockets[i], &readSet)
      {
         // There is some data ready to be read from producer_socket[i], so recv() it now
         [...]
      }
      if (FD_ISSET(producer_sockets[i], &writeSet)
      {
         // There is buffer space in producer_socket[i] to hold more outgoing
         // data for producer_socket[i], so send() it now
         [...]
      }
   }
}

Note that to really do this properly, you'd need to set all of your sockets to non-blocking I/O and be able to handle partial reads and writes (by storing the partial data into a local memory-buffer associated with that consumer/producer, until you have enough data to act on), otherwise you risk having a call to recv() or send() block, which would prevent the event loop from being able to service any of the other consumers or producers.  Ideally the only place you should ever block in is select()... every other call should be non-blocking.  But if you want to keep things simple to start out with, you may be able to get away with using blocking I/O for a while.

The CO2 laser is considered the most effective treatment option for reversing the signs of skin aging. Skin resurfacing can restore the tone and glow to your face through the formation of a completely new skin layer. The re-epithelialization process along with the formation of new collagen is the quickest way to minimize wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and skin laxity.
Fractionated CO2 enables your skin to heal more rapidly than traditional CO2 treatments. With fractional laser resurfacing the laser beam is broken up or fractionated into many small micro beams. The laser beams are separated so when they strike the skin surface small areas of the skin between the beams are not treated by the laser and left intact. These small areas of untreated skin promote a much more rapid recovery and healing with less risk of complications. The areas treated by the fractional micro beams, called micro treatment zones, promote new collagen production and resultant facial skin rejuvenation.
Dr. Albert Fox can customize your Fractionated CO2 treatment to deliver the best possible results with the least amount of downtime.

THE FILM, WHICH WILL GIVE REASON TO SMILE: "THE RESURRECTION OF GAVIN STONE"
20 January 2017 world premiere of the melodrama Director Dallas Jenkins (Dallas Jenkins) "the Resurrection of Gavin stone" (The Resurrection of Gavin Stone). Genre painting has been dubbed "religious Comedy".
lign: justify;">
The plot revolves around a fading TV stars Gavin stone (Brett Dalton). Gavin starred in the movie from the cradle, but grew up and ceased to be of interest to Directors. For the sake of a new role Gavin is 200 hours of community service in the local Church, where he pretends to be a Christian, but finds more than expected.
One of the main roles in the film performed by the former professional wrestler WWE Shawn Michaels (Shawn Michaels): "I grew up in a Catholic family. I knew about God and what He has done. But never really knew Him."
Dr. James MacDonald, senior pastor at the Church "Harvest Bible Chapel": "Today, there are many misconceptions about the true role of the Church of Jesus Christ. Doctrine is able to discover truth, but a picture is worth a thousand words. The film "the Resurrection of Gavin stone" managed to display the purpose of the Church as it is meant to be Christ. Watch and don't doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ – the hope of the world".

On Friday 5 July RREF will host the third Henley Regatta Day at the beautiful Greenlands campus of the Henley Business School.
Last year over fifty guests were treated to some rare sunshine as they arrived to enjoy a Pimms and Champagne reception on the terrace overlooking The River Thames, followed by a sumptuous 3 course lunch and an exclusive private boat trip to watch the races. Alumni and corporate guests along with their partners were joined by the University of Reading's Vice-Chancellor, Sir David Bell, and Deputy Dean of Henley Business School, Ginny Gibson, who welcomed everyone to this premier event.
The event is an opportunity for Reading Real Estate & Planning alumni from across the graduation years and key industry contacts and friends to socialise with one another whilst enjoying the delights of the Greenlands Campus during Regatta week.
Alison Carnwath, Chairman of Land Securities Group, who hosted friends at the event last year commented "It was a delightful occasion and our guests had a wonderful time. The hospitality and setting were second to none."
Why not take this fantastic opportunity to enjoy a truly unique experience - seeing the Regatta from the water is exciting and the hospitality and location of Henley Business School is well worth making the trip out of town for.
There are only a few tables left for 2013 so please get in touch to reserve your place by contacting Kat Berry, 0118 378 4197 / k.berry@rref.reading.ac.uk, or book online here.

The Elections in Israel and the Crisis Opened By the Intifada
The landslide victory of Sharon over the "Labor" party candidate Barak represents a new step in the development of the crisis provoked by the outbreak of the new Intifada. No matter what the political analysts say, the Likud leader acts within the constraints imposed by imperialism and by the present crisis of the Zionist parties caused by the estrangement of the Palestinians living in Israel from their traditional leadership.
Barak Brought Sharon and Sharon ... Brings Barak Back?
Those who supported Barak from the left, including the followers of Arafat, tried to justify their position by arguing that it was a support for the "lesser evil". Of course, they are unable to explain how Barak brought Sharon, and why Sharon tries to resuscitate Barak by making him part of a "national unity" government.
The Barak supporters, both Jews and Arabs, have made Sharon's personality responsible for the future war in the Middle East. Sharon is certainly a war criminal responsible, among other things, for the massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in 1982 – though it is important to remember that it was the "Labor" party government which invaded Lebanon in 1975. But it is not necessary to go that far to see that it was the "Labor" party policy which produced hundreds of dead and tens of thousands wounded during the last months (including more than a dozen Palestinian "citizens" of Israel), the closure of the Palestinian towns in the West Bank and Gaza, the starvation of the population, massive unemployment, etc. The election of Sharon is the consequence of the present situation and not its cause.
In his electoral campaign Barak has tried to present himself as a continuator of Begin, who signed a peace treaty with Egypt and dismantled the Jewish settlements in the Sinai peninsula. Sharon, on the other hand, tried to show himself as the continuator of Rabin. The truth is that both candidates are right.
The Crisis of the Zionist Bourgeoisie
Sharon and Barak represent different faces of the Zionist bourgeoisie, and play a Bonapartist role between its interests and the pressures of imperialism to reach a "peace agreement" which would ensure stability to businessmen in the Middle East. That is the reason for the fall of Barak, as it was for the fall of Netanyahu a year and a half ago and for the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in 1995.
Sharon wants a Palestinian Bantustan in 42% of the Occupied Territories, while Barak offered the Palestinians 90% of that the West Bank and Gaza. But on the major issues (the denial of he right of return to the 3.5 million Palestinian refugees and the maintenance of a racist Zionist state acting as the regional cop of imperialism in the Middle East) both are in complete agreement. In this fundamental sense both are equally responsible for the present massacre and for the future wars which threaten the lives, not only of the Palestinians, but also of the Jewish inhabitants of the region.
Both are fervent supporters of the "free market", including the privatization of large sectors of the economy and the freezing of wages. Both support the signing of "peace agreements" with the neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt with the aim of transferring major industrial branches to those countries, where wage levels are much lower.
Sharon has momentarily swept to power as a result of the failure of the Oslo agreements to achieve to surrender to the Palestinian masses – in spite of all the efforts of their direction. But once in power Sharon will be forced to act in a Bonapartist fashion in order to preserve the economic and military links with imperialism, which are vital for the Israeli bourgeoisie.
The high levels of abstention in the present elections were due, first of all, to the massacre of Palestinians both outside and inside the Green Line by the Israeli army and police, and secondly, to the fact that the election took place between the "third and fourth most popular candidates". Barak and Sharon were able to block the candidature of Peres and Netanyahu because of the law for the direct election of Prime Minister, which was originally meant to reduce the influence of the political parties and the Parliament on the government by strengthening the executive – i.e. a Bonapartist measure aimed at stabilizing the Zionist regime. This law has left the party and state apparatuses in the hands of a couple of individuals, which has contributed to the alienation of the people from the political process – hence the concern of large sectors of the Zionist bourgeoisie, which now want the abrogation of the law.
All the Zionist politicians know that the recent elections are a first step towards the next ones (whether they are general or not), which will be convoked the moment the "peace process" leads to another crisis; hence the attempts to fortify the government by setting up a "national unity" government of the major Zionist parties.
The "Labor" party is in the midst of a deep internal crisis. Barak presented his resignation immediately after the results of the elections were announced, but two days later he assumed the role of negotiator with the Likud, and according to the latest news has accepted the post of Minister of Defense in the Sharon government. Several leading figures in the "Labor" party have presented themselves as alternatives to Barak, threatening to split the party, while others have retired from political life. The Likud, also threatened with a split by the Netanyahu supporters, is not in a much better condition. For the time being Sharon has received the support of Bush, Barak and ... Arafat, who went out of his way to congratulate him for his victory and express his readiness to renew the "peace process".
The Israeli Left, Blank Votes and Abstention
The Zionist left is in a state of total bankruptcy. Meretz and "Peace Now", which directly or indirectly supported the brutal repression of the Palestinians, called to vote for Barak. The Israeli Communist Party Hadash (the initials for "Democratic Front for Peace and Equality") refused to present an independent candidate representing the oppressed Palestinian minority in Israel, waiting till the last moment for an opportunity to support Barak or Peres (especially the signature of a new agreement with Arafat, which failed to materialize). Finally it was forced by its rank-and-file to issue a call to put a blank ballot. The same is true of the Arab parties within Israel. Smaller organizations were prevented from presenting candidates by the anti-democratic Israeli electoral law, which requires tens of thousands of signatures and more than ten thousand dollars to present a candidate if he is not already a member of Parliament, and in addition forbids any organization calling to abolish the Jewish character of the state to take part in the elections.
The blank vote and abstention thus became the center of the campaign of the left organizations. Among the Arabs, only 18% of the population voted and of these 20% put a blank vote. The Abnaa El-Balad ("Sons of the Country") movement formed a popular committee for the abstention which was highly successful, especially the Galilee and the North of the country. The massive abstention of the Palestinian electorate signals a new stage in the rupture of the Arab masses within Israel with the Zionist regime, which was described in the local press as "the declaration of independence of the Arabs in Israel" – though in order to fructify politically this development still has to lead to the construction of a new organization independent from the traditional Zionist and Arab parties.
Very few analysts have remarked that the elections in Israel have taken place in the context of a prolonged strike of public employees. In spite of the policy of the Histadrut and of the blackmail of the Zionist politicians (which called the Jewish workers "to unite against the common enemy", i.e. the Palestinians), the strike included relatively wide layers of the working class such as the employees of the Interior Ministry, the airports, the university teachers, etc. The strikers demanded a wage rise of 16%, which is equal to the one that the MPs, ministers and high functionaries of the state granted themselves before the election (this rise in wages averages 700 dollars, a sum equal to the minimum wage received by most state employees).
It is clear that large sections of the Jewish working class and unemployed voted for Sharon, but is would be a mistake to conclude from this that they has been completely swept away by chauvinism. An unusually high level of abstention (100% higher than in the previous election) was also registered among the left-wing and working-class Jews. This indicates that there is a political vacuum among the left and the workers, which has not been capitalized because of the absence of an organization with a Marxist program.
A meeting, which took place shortly after the elections between the representative of the employers' organizations and Sharon in his farm North of the Negev desert, left the former extremely satisfied. Sharon promised to continue with the program of privatizations and state subsidies to industry, reduce taxes in capital, strengthen the economic links with international finance capital, and support the transference of more industries to the neighboring Arab countries, where the labor force is extremely cheap. It is important to remark that these capitalists also financed the campaign of the "Labor" party, which shows that from the point of view of the class interests they serve there is also no difference between it and the Likud.
Palestinian "National Unity"
The crisis opened by the Intifada and the elections in Israel has affected also the Palestinian Authority. Even the Mossad agrees that Arafat finds it extremely difficult to control wide sections of the Fatah and the Tanzim who wish to continue the Intifada. The pressure of the population on the Arafat regime is very great, and the removal of several ministers and functionaries blamed for corruption is under discussion. It is this pressure which for the time being does not enable Arafat to renounce the right of return to the refugees and consolidate the regime of apartheid imposed by Zionism and American imperialism. His futile attempts to find support among the Arab regimes show that these are irrevocably compromised with imperialism and terribly frightened by the possibility of a massive uprising at a regional level.
The revolt of the Palestinian masses thus finds a deformed expression in organizations which carry out guerrilla actions against the army and the settlers and – what is much more counterproductive – against the civilian population in Israel. The Fatah increasingly relies on the UN, the EU and the USA to provide it with money and act as intermediaries in order to reach an agreement with Israel.
The challenge for the anti-Zionist left in Palestine is to combine the national and democratic struggle of the Palestinian masses with the struggle against exploitation of the Jewish and Arab workers both within Israel and in the West Bank and Gaza. The perspective of a secular, democratic and socialist republic in the whole territory of historic Palestine and of a socialist federation in the Middle East offers the only way out of the crisis for the working masses of the region.

Hi, We have a customer requirement to connect Brocade 7800 router to Exisitng Brocade 5100 switch.
The router was earlier purchased for replication, but later customer decided not to use the same and went ahead with database level replication.
The customer now want to connect this router to exisiting Brocade 5100 and use it as an edge switch.
I know that Brocade 7800 is not meant to be used as a edge switch, but customer want to ran out of ports in 5100 and want to use the ports available in 7800 in the fabric to connect devices.
I read it is not adviceable to connect end devices to 7800 unless they are dedicated replication ports.
Please suggest if it is techincally feasible to use 7800 as an edge switch and let me know if there are any license requirements or limitations.
FC Port in 7800 in Default Settings Mode, have the same FC Features as FC Port in 5100, so you can safely use the 7800 like a Standalone Switch.
