VANQUISH™ can add to your perimeter security by installing our Nehemiah Perimeter Security Fence System that will deter a would-be intruder; delay them, should they attempt entry; and buy valuable time for local authorities to ultimately detect the unauthorized intruder before they injure themselves or damage expensive substation equipment.
This CIP perimeter fence system is designed to specifically address this potential threat by hardening the existing perimeter fence line or installing a newly-fortified perimeter fence.
Options to harden the perimeter range from guardrail fortification and anti-ram cabling, to stand-alone anti-crash vehicle gates and/or ballistic walls. The CIP Level 1 Security System is designed to secure the perimeter of a substation and deter acts of vandalism.
In addition, the comprehensive CIP Level 2 and CIP Level 3 Security Systems are designed to protect the most critical infrastructure assets. Whichever option you chose, these systems are unique to the customer – not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Substations prone to vandalism and copper theft are perfect examples of stations in need of VANQUISH's Level 1 Perimeter Fence System. Whether it be with heavy gauge chain-link, welded steel wire or expanded metal security fabric, our systems are designed to intimidate potential intruders.
Perimeter fence lines can be hardened even further to deter assaults by vehicles, explosives, or an array of weaponry. VANQUISH looks at all potential threats and formulates a solution designed to meet the level of the threat potential.
Perimeter systems 10, 12, to 24-foot high, anti-ram barriers and gates, ballistic panels and shielding, combine to remove line of sight, eliminate access points – ultimately protecting the critical infrastructure facilities across the grid.
Are you ready to take the next step? Contact Vanquish Fencing for a no-pressure quote or consultation on your fencing needs.
A report published by the Congressional Research Service in March 2018, begins with the premise that securing the electric power grid is among the nation's highest priorities for critical infrastructure protection.
We believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem - especially when it comes to restricted access to a protected area inside the perimeter fence line.
We're prepared to offer an array of options to meet the significance of what you are protecting.
Complete the form to the right so we can begin a conversation.

Americans don't really get roundabouts. They mainly have intersections instead - huge junctions where you have to stop at the lights, instead of judge the gaps yourself.
Safer, you'd think. Less chance of us screwing it up and getting jammed or worse. Welllll...no.
Roundabouts are meticulously designed to keep traffic moving. Just like with variable speed limits on motorways, slowing traffic down so it can maintain steady movement is what prevents jams.
They're more efficient than junctions, they're safer than junctions and they often have pretty flowers in the centre of them.
Recently, the UK's most ridiculous controlled junction broke down. Grovehill junction's 42 separate sets of traffic lights, built to replace a roundabout and nicknamed "the red light district" - all out. Was there chaos?
Nope. Everyone just used their brainboxes. Good old-fashioned observation and judgement. Isn't that beautiful?
Feeling warm with pride at our traffic systems?

Since its inception, Junior Achievement has been committed to "experiential learning". Taking it to the next level, Junior Achievement of Washington is proud of JA World, which involves two programs: JA BizTown and JA Finance Park. These dramatic programs significantly transform how every local student is taught to view the world of work, free enterprise and their possibilities for success in it.
The importance of these programs is difficult to overstate. Because of their tremendous experiential nature, a building is required to house JA's BizTown and JA's Finance Park.
When students visit JA BizTown, they enter the world of business. They get to see, touch, and experience free enterprise. JA BizTown creates a learning environment in which students are given opportunities for real rather than imagined activities, active rather than passive learning, and actual decision making with positive and negative consequences. Adult volunteers have an important role in leading students through their day at JA BizTown.
When students visit JA Finance Park, they enter the world of personal finance. Students study different financial decisions to be made, consider the options available, and construct a personal budget, all based on a personalized life scenario they are given. Volunteer adults, including both businesses' employees and parents, are actively involved with JA Finance Park as they assist students to achieve at their highest level.
The rationale for this initiative can be supported by reams of research on the effectiveness of experiential learning and teaching entrepreneurship at an early age. The research shows that students who learn concepts and principles via experiential exercises demonstrate greater levels of engagement, reflection, and personal responsibility associated with the learning process than students who learn via traditional classroom instructional methods. A major difference between traditional modes of classroom instruction and experiential learning is that the experiential mode of learning helps students more effectively develop intrinsic motivation for learning.
Additionally, experiential teaching activities help students to characterize their learning as more relevant to the real world.

EU 'Very Confident' On Northern Ireland Agreement If UK Shows Political Will
December 02, 2022 9:53 AM By Dayeeta Das
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she is "very confident" a positive conclusion is within reach to a post-Brexit trade row over Northern Ireland if Britain shows the political will to find a solution.
Technical talks resumed in October for the first time in seven months on the Northern Ireland Protocol, the part of the Brexit deal that mandated checks on some goods moving to Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom.
"We have always shown flexibility, we will always have a constructive approach to these issues," von der Leyen said ahead of a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Dublin.
"If there is the political will in the UK, I am very confident that we can reach a positive conclusion."
Workable Solution
Von der Leyen later said in an address to the Irish parliament that her contacts with new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had been encouraging and described a workable solution as being within reach.
The EU's Brexit chief, Maros Sefcovic, also said on Thursday that Brussels was ready to double down on efforts to find joint solutions following a phone call with British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly.
Cleverly said Britain remained committed to finding a "durable solution".
Britain agreed as part of its EU departure to effectively leave Northern Ireland within the bloc's single market for goods in order to preserve the region's open border with EU member Ireland.
However it has since sought to scrap many of the checks that the deal introduced, which have caused anger among many pro-British unionists in Northern Ireland. Brussels has offered to ease some of the trade barriers.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said he hoped a compromise could be reached in coming weeks.
"President, I too believe that a solution is within our grasp if we have a partner to achieve an outcome that we can all accept and move on from," Coveney said in parliament.

5 Boston Tours Travelers Should Experience
See Boston on land, by sea and from atop the Green Monster in Fenway Park.
By Kim Foley MacKinnon, Contributor April 11, 2017

Boston is often called "America's Walking City," and while that may be true, it helps to know where you're going and what you're seeing before you start. That's why taking a guided tour is an excellent introduction to the city.
From self-guided treks to tours that go on land and in water, Boston offers a range of options for those looking to get better acquainted with the city. We consulted some of the city's local experts who are asked about tours every day – hotel concierges and guest ambassadors – to highlight their favorites.
"Though we say it's a walking city, having a tour can be super helpful," says Nina Senatore, guest experience ambassador at The Lenox Hotel.
The Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail(Courtesy of Freedom Trail Foundation)
"My No. 1 recommendation for first-time visitors in Boston is the Freedom Trail," says Julianne Boyle, concierge at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston. "Visitors have the option to pick up a brochure and walk the 2.5-mile red line covering 16 of Boston's most historical sites including museums, parks, churches and burying grounds. For those interested in gaining the most knowledge of Boston's history in an interactive way, I recommend the walking tours led by the 18th-century costumed Freedom Trail Players."
[Read: The Best Hotels in Boston.]
The nonprofit Freedom Trail Foundation offers costumed guided tours year-round, leaving from the Boston Common Visitor Information Center or the ArtsBoston BosTix booth at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Sites along the trail include Boston Common, Massachusetts State House, Park Street Church, Granary Burying Ground, King's Chapel, the site of the U.S.'s oldest public school, Old Corner Bookstore, Old South Meeting House, Old State House and the site of the Boston Massacre. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6.50 for children ages 6 to 12.
Kim Weeks, guest ambassador at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel, agrees, saying, "If you've never been to Boston, it's the perfect way to see the city."
Boston Duck Tours

Another tour recommended by locals is Boston Duck Tours, which takes place aboard a World War II-style amphibious landing vehicle. The narrated tour swings by Boston's main sights, from the Massachusetts State House to Bunker Hill, and then heads straight into the Charles River.
"The Duck Tours are my favorite," Boyle says. "The best part of the tour is 'Splashdown,' where your captain will splash right into the Charles River and take you along the river to see the Boston and Charlestown skylines for a truly unique experience."
Senatore says the Duck Tour boats are especially appealing for families. "The Duck Tours are a huge hit with the children," she adds.
[Read: 8 Free Things to Do in Boston.]
Tours are 80 minutes long and leave from the Museum of Science, the Prudential Center and the New England Aquarium. Tickets are $39.50 for adults, $27 for kids ages 3 to 11 and $10.50 for children younger than 3.
Old Town Trolley Tours

For visitors who want to cover as much ground as possible, as quickly and as easily as possible, the hop on, hop off Old Town Trolley Tours make 19 stops throughout the city, from Beacon Hill to the North End, and tickets are good for two consecutive days.
"Old Town Trolley is for someone who has never been here before but wants to see as much as possible in a relatively short time," Weeks says.
Keith Loveless, head concierge at The Langham, Boston, says the tours are a step above the usual tour bus experience. "It's not scripted, it's not recorded. You can interact with [the tour guides]," he says.
The company has another fan in Senatore, who says, "I love the hop on and off trolley. They do an excellent job."
One-day tour tickets cost less than $40 for adults and less than $20 for kids ages 4 to 12 when you purchase them online. You can also purchase tickets in person (though they may cost more) at trolley depots and at hotel concierge desks around the city. Often, special perks, like free admission to the Old State House Museum and discounted admission to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, are included, as are discounts to other various attractions, restaurants and shops.
Fenway Park Tour
Without a doubt, Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, is one of the most famous ballparks in America. Located right in the city, the beloved park has a fascinating history. One of its most recognizable features is the Green Monster, the more than 37-foot-high green wall overlooking left field.
[Read: The 15 Best Boston Tours.]
"The ballpark is such an historic icon and has a lot of character and charm that you really can feel when you walk around the park itself," Weeks says.
Daily tours are available year-round, leaving every hour between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., except on game days, when the last tour leaves three hours before game time. Tickets for regular tours are $20 for adults and $14 for kids age 12 and younger. Special game day tours, where fans can enter the ballpark before the general public, are $35.
Senatore says, "The tour of Fenway does an amazing job."
Samuel Adams Brewery Tours
"Our guests love the Samuel Adams Brewery tour," Senatore says. "Sam Adams provided the momentum for the local craft beer movement in Boston. The one-hour free tour includes the history of the brand and an inclusive experience of the total craft brewing process – people love smelling the specialty hops – and of course, samples at the end!"
The brewery is a bit out of the way, in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, but that doesn't deter the legions of fans who make their way to visit. Brewery tours leave about every 40 minutes. Tickets are handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, and tours fill up quickly. One way to avoid being disappointed is to sign up for the Morning Mash In Tour, which is offered six days a week at 9:30 a.m. It includes a tour, a tasting and a souvenir glass. Tickets for the 9:30 tours are $10 on weekdays and $15 on Saturdays, and visitors must be 21 and older.

De Raad van Vlaanderen was een soort officieus Vlaams parlement dat tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog (op 4 februari 1917) door activisten opgericht werd, op een in Brussel gehouden Vlaamsch Nationale Landdag en na moeizame onderhandelingen tussen verschillende activistische organisaties. De oprichting gebeurde vanuit kringen rond Jong-Vlaanderen, terwijl de Duitse bezetter het initiatief meteen inschakelde in zijn Flamenpolitik, zonder nochtans veel autonomie aan het initiatief te gunnen.

De Eerste Raad van Vlaanderen
De Raad van Vlaanderen werd gesticht op 4 februari 1917 en ontbonden begin januari 1918. Onder het voorzitterschap van Pieter Tack bestond hij aanvankelijk uit vijftig leden en was tegen het einde van 1917 gestegen tot 81 leden.

De Raad onderhandelde met de Duitse bezetter (gouverneur-generaal Moritz von Bissing) over een toekomstig statuut voor Vlaanderen, voor de verwezenlijking van de op 31 december 1915 gedane toezegging van vernederlandsing van de Gentse universiteit, en voor de invulling van de op 21 maart 1917 afgekondigde federalisering ("Bestuurlijke Scheiding") van België.

De Raad riep op 22 december 1917, onverwacht en op voorstel van August Borms, de Vlaamse onafhankelijkheid uit. Veel betekenis had deze demarche niet want ze werd door de bezetter niet erkend. Ze doorkruiste namelijk geheime diplomatieke vredesonderhandelingen met koning Albert I van België, die volgden op de vredesoproep van paus Benedictus XV en Matthias Erzberger en de publicatie van de Veertien punten door de Amerikaanse president Woodrow Wilson. Dit waren onderhandelingen waarvoor rijkskanseliers Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, Georg Michaelis, Georg von Hertling en Max van Baden zich sterk maakten. De Raad wilde een eigen onderhandelingspositie, maar dit mislukte: de Oberste Heeresleitung zag meer in een annexatie van Vlaanderen door Duitsland, waar Nederland als Duits protectoraat zich over zou mogen ontfermen.

De Raad van Vlaanderen was met deze onafhankelijkheidsverklaring te ver gegaan en op bevel van de bezetter werd hij ontbonden. De samenstelling van een nieuwe Raad werd toevertrouwd aan de Commissie van Gevolmachtigden.

De Tweede Raad van Vlaanderen
Na een zogenaamde volksraadpleging werd in maart 1918 een Tweede Raad van Vlaanderen opgericht, maar ook deze werd noch door de Duitsers, noch door de bevolking ernstig genomen en hield in september op te bestaan.

De bijeenkomsten van de Raad waren regelmatig bewogen, door de grote meningsverschillen tussen separatisten en federalisten. Op 16 augustus 1918 dwong de Raad de leden van de 'Commissie van gevolmachtigden' om ontslag te nemen. Dit betekende meteen het feitelijk einde van de Raad van Vlaanderen zelf. Het Bureau bleef nog wel in functie en enkele leden van de Raad kwamen in september onofficieel nog een paar maal bijeen, maar dit alles had geen enkele betekenis.

Commissie van Gevolmachtigden
Op 22 december 1917, nadat de Raad van Vlaanderen de onafhankelijkheid van Vlaanderen had uitgeroepen, werd beslist een uitvoerend orgaan aan te stellen onder de naam Commissie van Gevolmachtigden. Deze commissie bestond uit elf leden, met Pieter Tack als voorzitter. Aangezien men er een soort regering wilde van maken, kregen de leden een 'departement' toegewezen: Achiel Brijs (secretariaat), August Borms (Nationaal Verweer), Fernand Brulez (Post, Telegraaf, Telefoon), Josué De Decker (Wetenschappen en Kunsten), Florimond Heuvelmans (Rechtswezen), Karel Heynderickx (Binnenlandse Zaken), Alfons Jonckx (Buitenlandse Zaken), Leo Meert (Geldwezen), Emiel ver Hees (Nijverheid en Arbeid), Telesphorus Vernieuwe (Openbare Werken en Landbouw). Dit werd door de Duitse generaal-gouverneur bekrachtigd bij decreet van 18 januari 1918. Hun taak bestond erin de Raad te leiden en te vertegenwoordigen, onder de supervisie van de bezetter. In hoofdzaak was de commissie actief betreffende de ingevoerde bestuurlijke scheiding en betreffende de vernederlandsing van het onderwijs. De leden van de commissie waren met de problemen al vertrouwd, vanuit hun functies binnen de bestaande administratie.

De commissie kwam echter nauwelijks van de grond. De uitroeping van de onafhankelijkheid werd door de bezetter niet erkend. Hij wilde niet verder gaan dan een vorm van federalisme. Anderzijds werkte de Raad van Vlaanderen niet naar behoren. In een destructieve vlaag bracht de Tweede Raad op 16 augustus 1918 de commissie ten val. In september maakte de bezetter een einde aan de Raad van Vlaanderen zelf.

Commissie van Zaakgelastigden
In vervanging van de Commissie van gevolmachtigden, vormde de generaal-gouverneur op 26 september 1918 een Commissie van zaakgelastigden.  Deze Commissie hing niet meer af van de verdwenen Raad en was in feite een verlengstuk van de bezettende overheid. De Commissie telde twaalf leden en vormde eveneens een soort pseudo-regering, waarbij elk lid een 'departement' toegewezen kreeg. Het ging om Josué De Decker (Voorzitter en Wetenschappen en Kunsten), Ernest Van den Berghe (Openbare Werken), August Borms (Nationaal Verweer), Fernand Brulez (Post, Telegraaf, Telefoon), Leo Meert (Geldwezen), Hendrik Mommaerts (Landbouw), Hector Plancquaert (Binnenlandse Zaken), Emiel ver Hees (Nijverheid en Arbeid) en vier leden zonder portefeuille: Alfons Depla, Achiel Brijs, Edward Joris en Adriaan Martens.

Tegen de tijd dat deze moeilijk tot stand gekomen Commissie in actie had moeten komen, was het al te laat. Dagelijkse bijeenkomsten konden hier niet aan verhelpen. Het einde kwam er op 9 november 1918. Tegen die tijd waren de leden al gevlucht naar Duitsland en Nederland of bereidden ze zich voor om dat te doen.

Archief
Bewust van zijn belang had de Raad van Vlaanderen een administratie tot stand gebracht die heel wat papier produceerde.

Toen de geallieerde legers naderden, besliste men dat deze documenten niet in handen moesten vallen van de wettige regering, die hierin onvermijdelijk elementen zou vinden om een aantal mensen wegens collaboratie met de vijand te doen veroordelen.

Alle bezwarende documenten werden dan ook halsoverkop verzameld en naar Duitsland gevoerd. De papieren vonden een onderkomen in de universiteit van Leipzig. Ze bleven er bewaard onder het toezicht van enerzijds de Duitse ambtenaar en archivaris Robert Oszwald (1883-1945), die tijdens de oorlog toezichthouder was geweest over het activisme, en anderzijds van het naar Duitsland gevluchte lid en secretaris van de Raad van Vlaanderen Albert Vlamynck. Dit bleef echter niet duren, want Oszwald verhuisde naar Potsdam en Vlamynck naar Kiel. In Leipzig bleef George Roose over de archieven waken. Deze oud-medewerker van August Borms leefde er vereenzaamd, werkloos en weldra verpauperd. Toen zich een amateur aanbood die de archieven wilde kopen, verkocht hij alles op 25 januari 1925 voor 50.000 fr. De koper verhuisde onmiddellijk het archief naar Brussel.

Die koper was Armand Wullus (1893-1969), een actieve medewerker van de Ligue nationale pour l'Unité Belge - Nationle Bond voor de Belgische Eenheid, die als de belangrijkste tegenstander gold van de Vlaams-nationalisten. De hoogleraar Jacques Pirenne (1891-1972) was actief binnen de 'Ligue'. Hij was een zoon van de historicus Henri Pirenne, zelf erevoorzitter van de 'Ligue'.

Na eerst een tijdje geheim te zijn gehouden, werd deze aankoop stilaan bekend en leidde tot enige paniek en onrust onder voormalige leden van de Raad van Vlaanderen. Eindelijk werd in 1928 door de 'Ligue' overgegaan tot publicatie van belangrijke delen uit het archief. Dit was ongetwijfeld interessant voor de geschiedschrijving, maar speelde geen rol meer voor de berechting van de voormalige leden van de Raad van Vlaanderen. Ze waren immers al jaren voordien veroordeeld en de tijd voor amnestie was ondertussen aangebroken.

Het hele archief werd in 1939 door Pirenne aan het Rijksarchief overgemaakt. In 1940 werd het ingedeeld bij de 'gevoelige' archieven, die best niet in handen van de Duitsers mochten vallen en werd naar Engeland verhuisd. Na de oorlog kwam het weer naar Brussel waar het jarenlang met discretie werd behandeld. In 2012 werd een inventaris ervan opgemaakt door Luc Vandeweyer en gepubliceerd. Voortaan was het hele archief voor iedereen toegankelijk.

Schenkingen van het archief van Jos Vandenbroeck aan het Archief en Documentatiecentrum van het Vlaams-Nationalisme (ADVN) wierpen nog bijkomend licht op dit archief en op de wederwaardigheden ervan na 1918, gezien vanuit het gezichtspunt van voormalige leden van de Raad van Vlaanderen.

As one of India's leading store for Superheroes and comic character merchandise that has actively worked towards building a community of superhero fans in the country, this contest is a tool to engage with fans.
The idea behind this digital contest is to ride on the buzz around the release of the Captain America Winter Soldier. The SuperFan contest, thus, serves to keep fans engaged and interested while putting the spotlight on the release of yet another superhero movie.
All that the participants need to do is to send a picture of themselves with their favorite superhero products (T-shirt, mobile case, tattoo etc.). Planet Superheroes urged participants to dress up in their favorite superhero tees or to try out Joker's face-paint on themselves and take a picture for the contest. Entries could be submitted on the Planet Superheroes Facebook page. One could submit as many pictures as one wants to.
Prizes: 3 winners who receive the maximum number of likes for their pictures will get an exclusive Planet Superheroes Voucher worth Rs. 500 and a stylish Captain America Merchandise.
The contest is simple as it involves taking a picture and simply sharing it on the Planet Superheroes Facebook page or emailing it. One can share and tag oneself in the pictures and the maximum likes can help you win prizes. Thus, the viral aspect is also taken care of.
The prizes on offer are those that will attract superhero fans and successfully put the spotlight on Captain America.
Taking a picture and sharing it online while working towards getting maximum likes for it ensures that there is online and offline integration for the contest.
Fans have been actively engaged with posts and updates on Twitter and Facebook to keep the contest in their memory.
Despite all efforts to attract fans, the contest album comprised of just 61 entries. With a fan base of 36,915 on Facebook alone, the response to the contest leaves much to be desired. The contest lacks an innovative approach and creative twist.
As the contest is photo based, Instagram and Pinterest should have been used to draw a better response. Despite engaging with fans on Facebook and Twitter, the response to the contest has been lukewarm at best.
The Planet Superheroes SuperFan contest has been timed to build buzz as the next instalment of Captain America releases. However, overall the contest has not aroused the interest of fans like it should have.

So I considered buying one of these GPS loggers. The one from Gisteq was 60 something but after shipping it would have been $100! So I go on amazon and found that a decent one would cost 60$ with free shipping. That's not bad, but I wanted something for around $30. But then it hit me, my N95 has a GPS in it! There must be some kind of GPS logging app for it.
I was right, there are several actually, Nokia has their own called "Sports Tracker" or something, but this was the one i decided to use: http://code.google.com/p/ttgpslogger/wiki/GettingStarted. It was simple to use.
So I start logging, and generating log files, but how do I use them to geotag picture? Well, I did it with a program named GeoSetter http://www.geosetter.de/en/index.html, it takes log data as input, and geotag your pictures using the time stamp. So be sure to have the clock on your cameras and phone in sync!
Quite impressive. Shall need to consider the availability of geotagging apps the next time I buy a phone.

I have had 2 photoshoots with HJ Photography now. The main reason I chose her is because she is able to capture the moment and help us to tell our family story with photographs. Hiral's photos delicately show the emotions of each family member. She is fabulous with children and works really hard with them. She has children herself so totally knows what to do when a child refuses to co operate which I think is important."
I love to have a family photo taken every year as I want to document my life with my two boys and see how they change every year. Also I want to be in the photos with my two boys and husband. My husband and I loved our outdoor shoot as the boys were able to run around and we had so much fun it was like a day out. We now have beautiful and fun photos of all of us a great summer collection that we had made into an album.


If you have a 941 business payroll tax debt, assets can be seized and the business closed to pay off the liability!
If you own or have owned a business with employees, the IRS assesses what is termed 941-employee business payroll withholding tax. This payroll tax is due at the end of every pay period and/or operating quarter, and if it is not paid, penalties and interest will begin to accrue. If this payroll tax debt is neglected long enough, the business can be closed and all assets seized to satisfy the IRS debt. 941 business payroll withholding tax debt is widely considered to be the worst form of tax debt as the IRS considers it "stealing" directly from the government. Though the IRS is extremely aggressive collecting business payroll tax, businesses have very specific, enforceable rights that they are entitled to, and if enforced effectively, can help stave off collections and save the business.
941 Business Payroll tax debt can be resolved fairly!
Depending on the variables of the case, the business payroll taxes themselves can often times qualify for a settlement proposal, and the associated penalties successfully abated. Upon assuming power of attorney, our firm can request a reprieve against collections, buying time for the business to map out the most affordable repayment plan without suffocating operating costs. Trying to tackle business payroll tax debt on your own and negotiate directly with the assigned revenue officer is strongly advised against!
The IRS knows that with businesses, more so than individual tax debt, there are assets available to help pay off the 941 withholding tax debt, and the road to resolution can be complicated and hazardous. As a business owner, the modest investment towards legal representation must be accepted, much like it is towards bookkeeping and inventory, to minimize risk and maximize results.
The first step towards successful tax resolution is to acknowledge that your tax debt and 941 business payroll tax issue won't go away on their own and to seek professional assistance. Our firm of tax relief attorneys and tax relief professionals has helped thousands of individuals and businesses just like you stop forced collections and finally resolve their tax debt.
Our tax relief professionals will take the time to discuss your payroll tax debt free of charge, and help map out the best solution moving forward. Rest assured, all information is confidential, and nothing will be shared.


John Aldridge began his love affair with vintage drums just over 35 years ago. The Ludwig Black Beauty snare drums from the early 1920's led him to learn a skill that had virtually disappeared from the drum world for more than 50 years. Upon discovering that purchasing an engraved drum from the 1920s was completely outside his monetary limits, John set out to learn how to engrave with the intention of taking a standard model 20's Ludwig snare and plating and engraving it to turn it into a black beauty. Although he asked several jewelry engravers to teach him how to engrave, none believed that he would stay with it long enough to make it worthwhile to spend their time teaching him. After many visits to his shop, an elderly gentleman working in a jewelry shop in Claremore, Oklahoma gave John a ten minute demonstration of the three basic strokes and the tools that were used to produce the patterns that John wanted to duplicate from a 1923 Ludwig DeLuxe model snare drum. Taking that brief lesson and a note telling him where he could purchase the small blades and wooden handles used in the process, John embarked on his quest to learn how to engrave by himself. He could hear the old engraver chuckling to his son as he walked out the door!
Thirty years and literally hundreds of drums later, it's safe to say that John has "stuck with it". Widely recognized as the person most responsible for re-introducing engraving to the drum world and an established authority on the subject of engraved drums of the past, John continues to engrave in the same style and with the same methods that were used at the end of the 19th century.
John is now an accomplished hand engraver and has mastered the techniques used by his drum engraving predecessors of the 1920s-30s. Although there are machines that can engrave now, nothing can reproduce the strokes and appearance of the the archaic wriggle style, so John prefers to stay with the time tested method of hand engraving. There are no machines, powered tools, or any other devices other than a few small wood handled blades used in this approach! His work has been sought after by many high profile drummers as well as vintage drum collectors throughout the world.
John has produced numerous versions of the Ludwig Black Beauty with the Ludwig Drum Company, starting with the 1990 reintroduction of hand engraving to Ludwig. Since 1999, he has served as the exclusive engraver of the Black Beauty snare drum, copmleting the 90th Anniversary model, the 2005-2007 Limited edition, and the latest Black Beauty 100th Anniversary Limited Edition snare drums. But Ludwig is not the only company to take advantage of John's engraving services. In late 1989, Johh opened the door for his first custom jobs and engraved a few drums for Drum Workshop's top endorsers. Most of his early production involved doing aftermarket engraving on drums for individuals and drum shops. Since that time, John has been the prime source for drum companies looking to enhance their product offerings with engraving. From the hoops for Johnny Craviotto's prestigious Lake Superior snare drums, to Slingerland's Copper and Brass Beauties, to Tama's Kenny Aronoff Trackmaster limited, to Ludwig's 90th-100th Anniversary model snare drums, John has worked with most major manufacturers of metal snare drums in the music industry.
John also works with individuals to create unique instruments, either by engraving the customer's drum, or by providing a new drum and engraving it to the customer's specifications. If you've been thinking about having a custom drum built to your specifications, John can help there as well. Since he works in conjunction with some of the most reputable and respected drum companies and custom drum makers in the world, he has access to a plethora of high quality professional level instruments which are suitable for custom engraving.
Although John branched out into custom drum manufacturing a few years ago, he now confines his drum designing skills to a joint venture with Joyful Noise Drum Company, which also manufactures the John Aldridge Deluxe model to John's exacting specifications. Customers of JNDC can request virtually any engraving design that can be imagined as part of a custom order, or select one of our exclusive Winged Elite or Scrolled Elite patterns, available only on Joyful Noise drums.
In the following two-part, unedited video, recorded on May 20, 2009 at Fork's Drum Closet in Nashville, Tennessee, John Aldridge sat down with Bart Elliott, founder of DrummerCafe.com, to share his history with vintage drums and engraving, as well as his thoughts and work with Joyful Noise Drum Company.

Q: Convert ctypes Struct to bytearray in python Is there a way to convert a Ctypes Structure including a pointer to a bytearray?
class SRamAccess(ctypes.Structure):
    _fields_ = [('channel', ctypes.c_uint), ('offset', ctypes.c_uint), ('len', ctypes.c_uint), ('data', ctypes.c_char_p)]

A: Just pass it to bytearray():
>>> import ctypes
>>> class SRamAccess(ctypes.Structure):
...  _fields_ = [('channel', ctypes.c_uint), ('offset', ctypes.c_uint), ('len', ctypes.c_uint), ('data', ctypes.c_char_p)]
...
>>> s = SRamAccess(1,2,3,b'blah')
>>> bytearray(s)
bytearray(b'\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf0 .\x1a\xed\x01\x00\x00')
#           \______________/\______________/\______________/\______________/\________________________/
#                   1               2               3         padding          pointer64

Note that 'blah' is not part of the structure.  The last 8 bytes (64-bit Python) are the pointer address, and the 4 bytes before that are padding to align the 8-byte pointer to an 8-byte offset in the structure.
You would need an array in the structure to see array contents:
>>> class SRamAccess(ctypes.Structure):
...  _fields_ = [('channel', ctypes.c_uint), ('offset', ctypes.c_uint), ('len', ctypes.c_uint), ('data', ctypes.c_char * 5)]
...
>>> s = SRamAccess(1,2,3,b'blah')
>>> bytearray(s)
bytearray(b'\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00blah\x00\x00\x00\x00')
#           \______________/\______________/\______________/\______/\__________/
#                   1               2               3         blah    padding

Note that last 3 bytes are padding to make the whole structure a multiple of 4 bytes in size so an array of such structures keeps the 4-byte integers aligned on 4-byte boundaries.

A: Listing [Python 3.Docs]: ctypes - A foreign function library for Python.
One way would be to create a helper method that does the conversion. Below is such an example, which also does the conversion back (as I imagine that converting one way only would be pretty much useless).
code00.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import ctypes as ct

class SRamAccess(ct.Structure):
    _fields_ = [
        ("channel", ct.c_uint),
        ("offset", ct.c_uint),
        ("len", ct.c_uint),
        ("data", ct.c_char_p),
    ]

    @classmethod
    def deserialize(cls, buf):
        inst = cls.from_buffer(buf)
        return inst

    def serialize(self):
        struct_size = ct.sizeof(SRamAccess)
        size = struct_size + self.len
        buf = (ct.c_char * size)()
        ct.memmove(ct.addressof(buf), ct.addressof(self), struct_size)
        ct.memmove(ct.addressof(buf) + struct_size, self.data, self.len)
        return bytearray(buf)

    def __str__(self):
        s = self.__repr__()
        for field_name, _ in self._fields_[:-1]:
            s += "\n  {0:s}: {1:}".format(field_name, getattr(self, field_name))
        s += "\n  {0:s}:".format(self._fields_[-1][0])
        for i in range(self.len):
            s += " 0x{0:02X}".format(self.data[i])
        return "{0:s}\n".format(s)

def main(*argv):
    text = b"abcd1234"
    ssrc = SRamAccess(1, 2, len(text), text)
    print("Src:", ssrc)
    buf = ssrc.serialize()
    print("Buf:", buf)
    sdst = SRamAccess.deserialize(buf)
    print("\nDst:", sdst)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Python {0:s} {1:d}bit on {2:s}\n".format(" ".join(item.strip() for item in sys.version.split("\n")), 64 if sys.maxsize > 0x100000000 else 32, sys.platform))
    main(*sys.argv[1:])
    print("\nDone.")

Output:

  len: 8
  data: 0x61 0x62 0x63 0x64 0x31 0x32 0x33 0x34

Done.

As a note, this representation is also storing the last field (pointer) address which is irrelevant (as the contents is also stored).

Update #0
Previous variant doesn't behave well when there are NUL (0, \x00) chars in the string (text = b"abcd\x001234"), because ctypes.c_char_p is used for NUL terminated strings. I think that the len field presence automatically implies the above scenario.
code01.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python

CharPtr = ct.POINTER(ct.c_char)

class SRamAccess(ct.Structure):

        ("offset", ct.c_uint),
        ("len", ct.c_uint),
        ("data", CharPtr),
    ]

    @classmethod
    def deserialize(cls, buf):
        fmt_prefix = "II"
        data_len = len(buf) - struct.calcsize(fmt_prefix)
        fmt = fmt_prefix + "b" * data_len
        unpacked = struct.unpack(fmt, buf)
        return cls(unpacked[0], unpacked[1], 0, unpacked[2:])

    def serialize(self):

        return bytearray(buf)

    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        if name == "data":

            buf = (ct.c_char * len(value))(*value)

Notes (changes from the previous version):

*

*Handles NUL chars

*Uses [Python 3.Docs]: struct - Interpret strings as packed binary data to do the conversions

*len is automatically computed from the data passed as argument (in __setattr__). Note that setting it afterwards might yield unpredicted results

*

*Code is more complex

*Buffer is smaller (no irrelevant data serialized)

Welcome to Fes – the cultural and spiritual centre of Morocco. It's hectic, chaotic and intense in every possible way, and you'll either find it thrilling or extremely exhausting. However, it's a city of well-preserved traditions and handicraft industries and one of the most exciting places to visit in Morocco. One day in Fes will be a perfect trip for first-time visitors to explore its frenetic Medina, immerse themselves in the local way of life and, finally, leave with some very strong impressions.
What's the best time to visit Fes?
Morocco is a year-round destination, which means you can visit Fes pretty much whenever you want. However, when it comes to the weather conditions here, some months can be more enjoyable for your stay than others. The period from November to March is likely to be chilly, especially at night, but it's still a great time to escape cold European winters and enjoy temperatures of up to 18°C (64°F) during the day. Pleasant average temperatures occur from April to June and September to October. Summer can be unbearably hot, so in case you cannot stand extremely high temperatures, don't even think of traveling then.
Traveling at the time of Ramadan (the ninth month in the Islamic calendar), when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, can bring you a slightly different experience since many restaurants and bars operate on a different schedule at that time.
Fes is the second largest city in Morocco, located in the northern inland part of the country.
The city was founded in the 8th century by the Idrisid dynasty. In the 11th century it already had a great reputation for its madrasas (religious schools) and merchant activities. A century later, the expansive population growth made Fes the largest city in the world, with the number of people living there reaching 200 000. From the 13th to the 15th century, Fes regained the status of the country's capital. Many of the city's most famous landmarks, mosques and palaces were built during that time. During the 15th century, the Jewish quarter Mellah was built, since many Jewish migrants found their home in Fes. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city lost its influence and was no longer the capital.
Today, the medieval Medina (Old Town), known as Fes el Bali, is one of the best preserved old towns of the Arab-Muslim world, listed as a World Heritage Site.
Follow this guide and make the most of your trip even if you're short on time. These are the top sights and things to do during your one day in Fes.
There's no better way to start your morning than eating a delicious breakfast. Out of many restaurants scattered around the city, one small eatery stands out. Made in M is a charming and cozy place with outstanding décor and peculiar ambience offering several breakfast options. Their food can be described as a fusion of European and Moroccan. It's more of a tourist spot than a local place, but expect nothing but great food and extraordinary hospitality.
Nothing beats the atmosphere of the streets in Fes Medina. The fusion of sounds, aromas and colors – it's almost enough just to wander its labyrinths and do nothing but indulge in all that scenery. Fes el Bali is one of the world's largest urban pedestrian zones, which means you don't have to worry about cars. However, the streets are narrow and crowded and besides all the tourist and local crowds, bikes and scooters, you'll find mules and donkeys transporting goods like in the old times. It's really not hard to get lost in the medieval labyrinth layout of the Old Town, so in case you want to stay on a familiar route stick to the two main shopping streets – Talaa Seghira and Talaa Kebira. In case you're wondering about the souks (markets), they are everywhere around you. Discover the local craftsmanship and buy unique Moroccan souvenirs like colorful carpets, ornate pottery, natural beauty products, argan oil, Moroccan spices and leather babouche slippers among many others. Products are similar to those in Marrakesh souks, but can be purchased for lower prices. Some products can be found at fixed prices, but buying at the souks usually requires some haggling skills.
Besides mosques, there are many other religious and cultural sights inside Medina. You should definitely pay a visit to one of the two historical Islamic colleges – Madrasa al-Attarine and Bou Inania Madrasa. Since you only have one day in Fes, there's no need to visit both, but definitely take some time to explore one of them. They're both impressive and pretty similar with their intricate carvings, beautiful zellij (colorful tilework) and plastic work with Koranic verses all over the inner courtyard. Make sure to visit the upper floor where you'll find student rooms that overlook the courtyard. Bou Inania Madrasa is the only madrasa in Fes with a minaret, and this can be seen from many restaurant rooftops around. Muslims can also visit the impressive University of Al Quaraouiyine – the world's oldest existing educational institution.
In case you follow one of the two main streets (Talaa Seghira and Talaa Kebira), you'll eventually end up at the Blue Gates (Bab Boujeloud). It's a relatively new gate to Medina, built in 1913. Admire the stunning archways from both sides – the tiles facing Medina are green, since it's the color of Islam, and those facing the street are blue, which is the color of Fes.
There's plenty of restaurants and street food vendors in the Old Town of Fes. While the bustling streets can be exciting for a while, most people prefer to eat in a less hectic atmosphere. That's why many restaurants offer rooftop terraces where you can enjoy your meal while looking over the city below. Head to the Nagham café right next to the Blue Gate and enjoy their fusion of Moroccan and western dishes with a panoramic view of Medina. They serve one of the best Tajines in town with several different types to choose from.
One of the most interesting attractions in Fes is the Chouara Tannery – the oldest one in the world that still operates. It's pretty hard to reach the tannery since it's completely surrounded by private buildings, mostly leather shops, which means you'll have to enter a shop to see the tannery. However, you're not obligated to buy anything (even though the vendors can be pushy), so feel free to check out the dying process from any of the shop terraces. The tannery dates back to the 11th century and still uses the old process of dyeing leather. Stone vessels are filled with dyes and liquids like pigeon droppings and cow urine, so be prepared for an unbearable odor. Luckily, most of the vendors will provide you a fresh mint to cover the smell by putting it under your nose.
Busy streets can be overwhelming, so it's time to leave Medina for a while. Luckily, not far from the Medina walls, you'll find the lovely Jnan Sbil Garden, a green oasis and a place of calmness. Perfect to cool off in the summer heat and relax by the lake – the locals simply love to spend their time here. Commissioned by Sultan Moulay Abdallah, these lush gardens are more than a century old, but have been recently fully renovated to their former splendor.
There's one particular point from which you can have the most beautiful panoramic view of Fes. Take a gentle 30-minute hike to the top, and you'll get to the Marinid Tombs, the ruins of two monumental tombs with large horseshoe-arch entrances. It's still a mystery for whom they were build and who was buried there, but it's assumed they were members of a royal family. Today, the place is famous for the scenic view over the Fes Medina that gets especially beautiful at sunset. On your way to the Marinid Tombs, you can stop at Borj Nord, an old fort that houses a museum of weapons and armor from different eras.
Fes is just as lively at night as it is during the day. The locals gather around the city's squares, kids play on the street and young folks smoke shisha in popular rooftop bars. It's really the best time to chill on outdoor terraces and enjoy the vibrant night atmosphere. Café Clock is one of the most famous restaurants with outdoor seating on several levels and beautiful views of the Medina rooftops and Bou Inania Madrasa minaret. The restaurant has an extensive menu so that everyone can find something for their taste. Their Falafel with hummus and tabbouleh is absolutely delicious.
Where to stay in Fes?
With its inner courtyard, beautiful rooms and a fantastic terrace with an even better view of the city, Riad Palais Bahia Fes is a place you want to book if you want to enjoy a dash of luxury with your accommodation. Air-conditioned rooms come with a minibar, and the riad even has its own outdoor pool and a spa and a wellness centre, so rest and relaxation are pretty much guaranteed.
Hotel & Spa Dar Bensouda is a perfect place for people who are looking for a comfortable stay at the very heart of Fes' Medina. Huge and brightly coloured rooms are full of natural light, and you only have to step out of the building to get a feel of the city's pulse. Furthermore, a traditional Moroccan tent is set up on the roof terrace, plus you get an incredible view of the Atlas Mountains from here. What more could you ask for?
If you want something peaceful, relaxing and slightly secluded, Riad Toyour – Riad of birds is the place you need to stay in. They offer three types of breakfast (continental, vegetarian and halal), plus the restaurant serves some excellent Moroccan dishes, so you can bet your life you won't be hungry here. But the most impressive thing is the beautiful garden where you can truly relax and take a moment to realize you're actually in Morocco.
Riad Andalib has a whole lot of aces up its sleeve. A huge terrace houses a restaurant (El Panorama) from which the whole city can be seen. You'll definitely have some memorable meals here. But there is also another restaurant here with many Moroccan specialities. After a beautiful dinner, you can also grab a drink at the bar. But the best part of staying here is the location – right in Fes Medina! Booking a stay here means experiencing the essence of this city.
In case you plan to spend only one day in Fes, make sure it's not Friday, since this is a holy day for Muslims and you'll find most of the souks closed.
Always check the weather forecast before traveling. Temperatures can be unpredictable, especially at night.
You can easily get lost wandering the streets of Medina. However, if anyone approaches you and kindly offers help, rather ignore him. The so-called false guides will either direct you to a shop where they earn commission or they'll just tour you around and then ask for money. Don't give them any attention and they'll eventually give up.
Crowded Medina streets give pickpockets plenty of opportunities to operate. Stay on guard and keep your valuable belongings in secure places.
If you're traveling by bus, always make a seat reservation at least day in advance.
Besides Arabic, many people speak French. Older people usually don't speak English, but it is developing among younger generations. Vendors and people who work with tourists usually have some basic knowledge of English.
Always negotiate the taxi fare before you get into one. It requires some bargaining skills, but it's the only way not to end up being ripped off.
To show respect for their culture and avoid harassment, you should dress modestly and avoid bare shoulders, bare backs and short skirts.

Q: Using the same uniform variable between two shaders in WebGL I am using WebGL to try and render a scene with both color and textures, with the colors being rendered through the vertex shader and the textures being rendered through the fragment shader. Both shaders utilize some of the same uniform variables, however WebGL does not allow me to pass them between both, only one or the other. The error message I receive is "Uniform variable not linkable between attached shaders." I have gone through similar posts by other users regarding this issue however I was not able to find one that matched my situation. My code is as follows:
const vertex_shader = `

attribute vec4 vertex;
attribute vec2 textureCoordinates;
attribute vec4 normal;

uniform mat4 model_transform;
uniform mat4 vp_transform;
uniform mat4 normal_transform;

varying vec2 vTexCoords;
varying vec4 obj_loc;
varying vec4 transformed_normal;
varying vec4 vColor;
uniform vec4 light_position;
uniform vec4 light_ambient;
uniform vec4 light_diffuse;

uniform vec4 mat_ambient;
uniform vec4 mat_diffuse;
uniform vec4 mat_specular;
uniform float mat_shininess;

uniform vec4 light_specular;

uniform vec4 camera_position;

uniform int flags;

void main()
{
    obj_loc = model_transform * vertex; // vertex in model coordinates
    gl_Position = vp_transform * obj_loc; // vertex in device independent coordinates
    transformed_normal = normal_transform * normal;  // normal in model coordinates
    vTexCoords = textureCoordinates;

    vec4 l_vec = normalize(light_position - obj_loc);
    vec4 n_vec = normalize(normal_transform * normal);
    float lndot = dot(l_vec, n_vec);
    float diffuse_scale = max(0.0, lndot);
    vec4 diffuse_color = diffuse_scale * light_diffuse * mat_diffuse;
    if( (flags - 2*(flags/2)) == 0)
        diffuse_color = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

    vec4 h_vec = normalize(l_vec + normalize(camera_position - obj_loc));
    float spec_scale = pow(max(0.0, dot(h_vec, n_vec)), mat_shininess);
    vec4 specular_color;
    if(lndot < 0.0) {
        specular_color = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    } else {
        specular_color = spec_scale * mat_specular * light_specular;
    }
    if( (flags - 4*(flags/4)) < 2 ) {
        specular_color = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    }

    vec4 ambient_color = mat_ambient * light_ambient;
    if(flags < 4) {
        ambient_color = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    }
}`;

const fragment_shader = `
precision mediump float;

uniform vec4 light_position;
uniform vec4 light_ambient;
uniform vec4 light_diffuse;

varying vec2 vTexCoords;
varying vec4 obj_loc;
varying vec4 transformed_normal;
uniform sampler2D sampler;

void
main()
{
    vec4 texture_sample = texture2D(sampler, vTexCoords);

    vec4 l_vec = normalize(light_position - obj_loc);
    vec4 n_vec = normalize(transformed_normal);
    float lndot = dot(l_vec, n_vec);
    float diffuse_scale = max(0.0, lndot);
    vec4 diffuse_color = diffuse_scale * light_diffuse * texture_sample;

    vec4 ambient_color = light_ambient * texture_sample;

    gl_FragColor = diffuse_color + ambient_color;
    gl_FragColor.a = 1.0;
}
`;

The variables I am trying to use between both shaders are light_position, light_ambient, and light_diffuse. How would I go about doing this?

A: The link error is caused by the different precision in the vertex shader and fragment shader. See 4.5 Precision and Precision Qualifiers
From OpenGL ES Shading Language 1.00 Specification - 4.5.3 Default Precision Qualifiers

The vertex language has the following predeclared globally scoped default precision statements:
precision highp float;

The fragment shader has no default precision for float, hence you have specified the default precision mediump:
precision mediump float;

Thus the precision of the floating point uniforms are different in the fragment shader and vertex shader.
Either set an explicit mediump precision for floats in the vertex shader:
const vertex_shader = `
precision mediump float;
...

or change the precision in the fragment shader from medium to high.
Alternatively you can set an explicite precision qualifier to the uniform variables which are used in the vertex shader and fragment shader. For instance:
uniform mediump vec4 light_position;


something seems too good to be real? That's how I feel ALL the time here in Viterbo – it's like living in a fantasy, every single, little thing is absolutely fantastic and I can't get enough of it. The archaic wall encircling the medieval history of the city contains the kinds of sites and experiences you would find in a book or a movie. Cobblestone streets leading down alluring alley ways run rampant within the city; medieval and renaissance style churches reside on nearly every corner with each turn you make; charming cafes line the streets, beckoning you inside with irresistible smells of fresh caf è , cornetti (croissants), and other tempting treats; and nearly every piazza is occupied by a picturesque fountain, playfully spouting water that the wind occasionally sprays in your face. I'm certain you're picturing Viterbo now, but nothing you imagine will compare to the delightful reality that I live in now.
home for the next four months.
office. I walk here frequently because every time I travel to a diferent place, I buy a postcard and I send it back home to la mia famiglia. I've grown quite fond of the walk to Poste Italiane and the streets have become familiar to me in a comforting, homelike way. Cafe San Sisto is on the left as you cross the square just after entering inside the wall and further down, the small kebab place followed by the cafe that is also a library, and the pizzeria on the right with the friendly pizza man, each of these places contributes to the happy sensation I experience as I meander down the street. Even the uneven cobblestones, that I inevitably trip on every single chance I get, have become endearing to me and it wouldn't be the same Viterbo without them.
another, we arrive back to our sweet Viterbo quite late on Sunday nights. On these nights, Viterbo is quiet; the fountains murmur softly as if they know the Viterbese are asleep and the cars that normally zip up and down the streets are parked for the night, as if they too are getting their nightly beauty sleep. As we make our way home, occasionally glancing up at the gleaming stars above, I have never been so grateful for my beloved Viterbo. I don't think there is any other place in all of Europe that I would rather arrive home to after a long weekend of traveling.
And even though Viterbo is only our home for a few months, it will always be our Italian home and the origin of memories that we will cherish forever.

Q: Controlling Windows Service (Start, Stop and more..) with self hosted NancyFX web interface My goal is to create a simple web interface for a windows service that will allow me to interact with the service using a web browser.
By interaction I mean that by pressing a button in an html page I will be able to call Stop() method defined inside the service class. (or any other methods available)
I have a class that is going to be hosted inside a ServiceHost, running as a Windows Service.
The hierarchy is the following:
public interface IMyServiceInterface
{
        string Name { get; set; }
        void Stop();
}

public class MyServiceBase : IMyServiceInterface
{
  string sName;
  public string Name
  {
    get {return sName; }
    set {sName = value;}
  }

  public virtual void Stop() {}
}

public class dbSynchronizer : MyServiceBase
{
   public dbSynchronizer()
   {
      this.Name = "dbSynchronizer_01";
   }

   public override void Stop()
   {
      base.Stop();
    }
}

The code for starting the hosts:
File: Program.cs
static void Main(string[] args)
{
   ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
   ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
   {
     new dbSynchronizerService()
   };
   ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
}

File: dbSynchronizerService.cs
public partial class dbSynchronizerService : ServiceBase
{
   NancyHost nancyHost;
   dbSynchronizer  dbSynchronizerService;

   protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
   {

      dbSynchronizerInstance = new dbSyncronizerLib.dbSynchronizer();

      CustomBootstrapper _custBootStrapper = new CustomBootstrapper();
      nancyHost = new Nancy.Hosting.Self.NancyHost(new                 Uri("http://localhost:9664"), _custBootStrapper);

      if (nancyHost != null)
          nancyHost.Start();

      sHost = new ServiceHost(dbSynchronizerInstance);
      sHost.Open();
     }
}

Inside the MainModule defined for Nancy I need to get access to the current isntance of dbSynchronizer class (currently being executed inside the service host) to gain access to methods and properties.
To begin with, I just want a simple view that will display the name of the service like below:
File: MainModule.cs:
public class MainModule : NancyModule
    {
        public IMyServiceInterface _myService;

        public MainModule(IMyServiceInterface _service)
        {
            _myService= _service;

            Get["/"] = x =>
            {

                var model = new ConfigStatusModel
                {
                    Message = String.IsNullOrEmpty(_service.Name) ? "Cannot get service name" : _service.Name
                };

                return View["index.html", model];
            };
        }
    }

After this step, I would also like to make some POST to some other modules to invoke methods such as Stop() or any other methods that are supposed to be triggered by human intervention: DoSyncDb(), CleanTable().
At this point, when running the service and requesting the http://localhost:9664/ I get the "Cannot get service name" value in the model attached to the view.
Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong or point me to a working sample? Or maybe tell me how can what I described above be achieved properly.
Thank you.

Q: How to calculate that how many times tick event occur? What I really want to do, I want to calculate that how many times tick event occur. Actually I want to make check on it that if this event occurs 5 time.
Then messagebox should displayed.
Here is my code :
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    int i = 0;
    int points = 0;
    int counter = 0;

    public MainWindow()
    {
      System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
      dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(this.playMyAudioFile);

      TimeSpan ts = dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 2);

      dispatcherTimer.Start();
      if (counter == 5)
      {
        dispatcherTimer.Stop();
      }

      InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        // some code
        label1.Content = points;
        }
    }

    private void playMyAudioFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Random rd = new Random();
        i = rd.Next(1, 26);
        mediaElement1.Source = new Uri(@"D:\Project C#\A-Z\" + i + ".mp3");
        mediaElement1.Play();
    }
}

A: Using await, instead of a timer, makes this particular task much easier:
public static async Task makeMusic(TimeSpan timespan)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        //this assumes you can remove the parameters from this method
        playMyAudioFile();
        await Task.Delay(timespan);
    }

    MessageBox.Show("All done!");
}

You can make the count a parameter, if it needs to be configurable, or remove the timespan as a parameter if it need never change.

A: Servy's solution is a lot cleaner than using a timer. But if you insist on using a timer, I would suggest this:
private int counter = 0;
private Random rd = new Random();
private void playMyAudioFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    i = rd.Next(1, 26);
    mediaElement1.Source = new Uri(@"D:\Project C#\A-Z\" + i + ".mp3");
    mediaElement1.Play();
    ++counter;
    if (counter == 5)
    {
        dispatcherTimer.Stop();
    }
}

I think that the sender is the dispatcher timer, so you can probably write:
var timer = (DispatcherTimer)sender;
timer.Stop();

And, please, replace this:
TimeSpan ts = dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 2);

With:
TimeSpan ts = dispatcherTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);

When I see new TimeSpan(0, 0, 2), I have to think about what that signifies. Is it minutes, seconds, and milliseconds? Days, hours, and minutes? Hours, minutes, and seconds?
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2), though, is explicit. There is absolutely no ambiguity.

Breath Of Life Daily: Is Jesus enough?!!
The proof is in the pudding.....means: To fully test something you need to experience it for yourself!
Before I became truly saved & into God, I thought much of what I saw Christians do was fake, until I actually decided to find out more about God for myself. And boy oh boy were my eyes opened, I became more than just a 'every Sunday church goer', I was transformed into a Christian, a follower of Christ Jesus....but I had a hard time trusting Him, I would constantly ask for signs & miracles as if He hadn't done enough for me!!
It made me think; "Why don't we just trust God & stop trying to make Him prove Himself?" Over & over God has shown you who He is, by getting you out of this situation & that situation, getting you a new car, a new job, a better home, a more stable life. HE has rescued you from that relationship, that (possible) marriage, that accident, HE has protected you from things that you never seemed to understand because you saw it as a disappointment, a heartbreak or a setback! However, you STILL ask for more signs?!!
When will you trust God....Hasn't God done enough in Jesus alone?!
Are you trying to see if He will change His mind, be unfaithful, untrue, or if He will mess up?
God has already shown Himself trustworthy, but how can we find contentment, satisfaction, gratefulness?
Be Content & Trust God. Don't allow yourself to test God so much that we become like the Pharisees in Mark 8 that are cut off from His signs, miracles & wonders!!

TUESDAY NEWS DIGEST 11/15: Frankie Edgar's next move to get back into a title fight, Pettis wants both of McGregor's belts (w/Hiscoe's Analysis)

While Conor McGregor is busy taking over multiple weight classes, Frankie Edgar is considering shifting to a new division himself.
The former UFC Lightweight Champion moved down to 145 pounds in early 2013 after losing his title and a subsequent rematch to Ben Henderson. The moved proved to be successful for Edgar who has won six of eight fights in the division with his only losses coming in championship bouts to Jose Aldo. But with two losses to the current interim champion and with McGregor possibly never returning to 145, Edgar may be setting his sights on the Bantamweight Division.
In an interview with MMAJunkie, Edgar said that he will wait for the result of the upcoming Dominick Cruz vs. Cody Garbrandt championship fight and then decide if he'd be willing to make the extra cut. While leaning towards staying at 145, he wants to keep his options open.
"I don't know, man. We'll see what I say tomorrow," he said. "Right now, it's 145. Cruz has a fight ahead of him. We'll see what happens in that one and maybe make a choice after that."
A fight between Cruz and Edgar would be a dream match of sorts between two lighter weight fighters formerly 20 pounds apart, but now there's a glimmer of hope it could happen if Edgar doesn't see a future for him at 145.
Hiscoe's Analysis: I normally don't advocate for fighters to cut more weight, especially in modern times with no IVs for rehydration, but there is something appealing about Edgar at 135. It's easy to see why the move is appealing to him. His options are limited at 145 other than playing a gatekeeper role so a move to 135 may provide a faster track to a title shot than 145 and he may be outsized at 155, plus teammate Eddie Alvarez is still near the top of that division. Should Edgar move down to 135, he should probably have at least one non-title fight at the weight to ensure he can make the weight safely and still perform at a high level. That said, I think Edgar should stay at 145 and see how things play out with McGregor and Aldo as a hole could open up at the top of the division if McGregor doesn't come back and with Aldo being a wild card right now.
