Throwing a seasonal feast in autumn is easy because there are such a plethora of traditional choices, but spring feasts are a little trickier. Very little food and beverage items are really associated with spring to the extent that turkey, pumpkin pie, and gingerbread are with autumn and early winter holidays. Nonetheless, special occasion spring feasts do have a common theme.
While autumn feasts are about enjoying the results of a successful harvest, spring feasts are more about renewal — as in new spring vegetables, spring lamb, and the return of the salmon. Following are just a few suggestions designed to provide residents of apartments in Dallas with inspiration for festive feasts.
Ham and lamb are about as close as it gets to being seasonal counterparts of traditional Thanksgiving turkey — both are commonly seen in starring roles on dinner tables on Easter. If you want to travel down a less-beaten culinary path but one that's still appropriate for spring, consider serving freshly caught wild salmon.
Spring brings fresh new peas, asparagus, baby lettuces, kale and carrots. Enjoy these as a side salad to go with one of the above entrees, or prepare a pasta primavera dish as the main course if you're in the mood for a meatless meal.
Cabernet is great for sipping around the fire on a chilly winter evening, but spring needs something fresh and festive to welcome in the season. A medium-bodied bubbly rosé pairs well with virtually every type of food, and its sparkling properties transform even casual meals into celebrations. In keeping with the spirit of spring, go for something floral over fruity — your local wine store expert should be able to recommend something fabulous if you're short on ideas.
Light and lemony desserts provide an excellent grand finale to spring feasts. Think classic lemon meringue pie, lemon mousse, and lemon ice cream. Creative cooks can also make a Meyer-lemon cheesecake, sour cream lemon pie, or lemon souffle pudding cake.
Our pet-friendly community features full-sized kitchens with stainless-steel appliances, a resort-style pool, and a barbecue-picnic area for al fresco celebrations. Please call us today to find out more about our apartments in Dallas.

New Volkswagen XL 1 in London, United Kingdom
FIRST UK CUSTOMERS PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF VOLKSWAGEN XL1
Volkswagen has announced pricing for its record-breaking XL1 model, the world's most energy efficient production vehicle, which is now available to UK customers at £98,515 (RRP OTR).
A total production run of around 200 XL1s are being built at Volkswagen's Osnabrück factory in Germany, a proportion of which will be made available for the UK. The first delivery was made to a German customer at the end of May, with a number of UK customers already in line to purchase a car.
The XL1 is currently on display at this weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed, turning heads on the Volkswagen stand, and making its way up the iconic hill among a host of other supercars.
The design brief for the XL1 was to produce a 'one litre' car – that is to say, a car that uses one litre of fuel per 100 km, equivalent to 282 miles per gallon. The resulting vehicle uses just 0.9 litres per 100 km, or 313 mpg on the official combined cycle, and this high mpg figure correlates to a very low carbon dioxide emissions value of just 21 g/km. This is achieved using a two-cylinder 48 PS 800 cc diesel engine with a 27 PS electric motor, driving through a modified seven-speed DSG transmission.
The XL1 was also aerodynamically optimised, adopting the classic 'tear drop' shape and utilising innovations such as removing traditional wing mirrors and replacing them with small cameras called e-Mirrors which transmit exterior images to interior displays. With a drag coefficient of 0.189 the XL1 can maintain 100 kmh on a level road in still air using just 8.4PS.
It looks like a vision of the future, sitting very low on the road, and features scissor-opening wing doors. Its striking and innovative yet highly functional design helped it win the Transport category of the Designs of the Year 2014 competition, and an XL1 remains on display at the Design Museum in London until 25 August.
Commenting on the XL1, Product Manager Lianne McKnight said: 'Enthusiasm for the XL1 has been building since the first concept of the car was unveiled in Qatar in January 2011. Knowing that production of our cars is now underway and that customers will soon be taking delivery of them is very exciting. We're looking forward to seeing this record-breaking model on UK roads, as well as seeing technologies within it filtering down to many of our mainstream Volkswagen cars.
'To achieve its benchmark efficiency goals with materials and technology available today required a radical approach. Each XL1 customer is therefore able to own an example of the type of car we may be driving in 15 years time, and benefit today from the investment that a company like Volkswagen makes in its future,' she added.

Pastor dies of COVID-19 weeks after Fontana megachurch reopened for indoor services
An associate pastor for a megachurch in San Bernardino County died of COVID-19 about a month after the facility reopened indoor services.

Pastor Danny Carroll, shown in May, reopened Water of Life Community Church in Fontana for indoor services five weeks ago. An associate pastor at the church, Bob Bryant, recently died of COVID-19. (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)
Bob Bryant of the Water of Life Community Church in Fontana tested positive for the coronavirus in November and soon developed an aggressive pneumonia in both of his lungs, according to a post on the church's Facebook site. He then suffered a heart attack. He ultimately was placed on a ventilator and died Monday. He was 58.
Bryant was a pastor in the church's benevolence department, which provides financial assistance for people in need, said Susan DePaola, executive assistant to the senior pastor.
Bryant became sick while on vacation and did not return to the church once he showed symptoms in late November. DePaola said she was not sure when Bryant was last at the church.
The state health order does not permit churches to hold indoor services in counties in the state's most restrictive, or purple, tier in its reopening framework, which includes San Bernardino County. Only outdoor services are permitted in those counties.
San Bernardino County has been among the hardest hit regions in the state; in the last week, it has reported one of the highest rates of coronavirus infections among California's 58 counties. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 in the county has quadrupled in the past month, from 217 on Oct. 26 to 883 on Tuesday.
Following California's original stay-at-home order imposed in March, the state allowed houses of worship to reopen in late May with limited indoor capacity. But after a surge in cases in the late spring and early summer, state officials closed indoor operations of churches in mid-July in the hardest-hit counties. Water of Life Community Church defied that order, however, and reopened five weeks ago.
DePaola said county officials knew the church was holding services indoors. "The county is aware we are meeting inside," she said. "We're not trying to break rules. They know what we're doing."
A county spokesman did not immediately have information on whether the county has had any interaction with the church recently.
The church's senior pastor, Dan Carroll, in a Times story in May said he hosted a forum among leaders of hundreds of churches who were determined to reopen in defiance of California's health order at the time.
On its website, the church says its weekend attendance is about 7,000. It was unclear how much in-person attendance has changed since the church reopened for indoor services on Oct. 31, which it announced on its Facebook page.
"This weekend, Oct. 31st/Nov. 1st, we are moving our church services back to inside the Worship Center AND returning back to our traditional service times. Social distancing will be followed and face masks are required," the post said. "We will still have seating available outside, as long as the weather permits, for those that are not comfortable with sitting inside."
Bryant, known as Pastor Bob, had been with the church since he met the senior pastor about 18 years ago when he was a truck driver delivering furniture, DePaola said. He was hired as a youth pastor and later became the associate pastor in the benevolence department.
Bryant was able to help "thousands of people, by helping them financially and spiritually praying over them," DePaola said.
"And Bob was a really big presence: He had the biggest heart of anyone you would ever meet. If you were in a room full of hundreds of people, he had the ability to make you feel like you were the most special person in the room," she said. "He was an encourager and an uplifter and just always had a smile."
Bryant is survived by his wife, Lori, children Missy, Jacob, Jordan and Josh, and several grandchildren.
A memorial service is scheduled for Monday in the church. It will be livestreamed and open for in-person attendance.
"Please note, if you will be joining us in person, social distancing will be practiced and face masks are required at all times while on campus," the church's website said. DePaola said the services would be both indoors and outdoors.
Funerals are permitted only outdoors in San Bernardino County, according to the state health order.

Mohammad Tawhidi (1982/1983–), also known as Imam Tawhidi or Imam of Peace, is an Iranian-Australian useful idiot for islamophobes and racists alike. He self-proclaims as an imam (Muslim religious leader) with an educational background of prestigious Iranian Shia-Islamic seminary, but such credentials are only backed by Daily Mail and MEMRI articles and his status is never recognized by the Australian National Imams Council or its South Australian equivalent. Unfortunately, this places him as an insider with knowledge who exposes the "dark side" of Islam.
His tactic is extensive use of overgeneralization and jonanism, lumping average Muslims together with actual extremists[note 1] and attacking their ordinary lives such as issues of halal certification and mosques, providing justification for outright bigotry. He is also keen on attacking "leftists" (whoever that is) who apparently funded ISIS.[note 2] In spite of his claim about advocating for Muslim sectarian unity, he has almost no followings among Muslims,[note 3] and the fanbase significantly consists of islamophobes, Zionists, hindu nationalists, and white supremacists. This is hugely problematic from public security standpoint as effective counter-terrorist strategy always requires cooperation with local Muslim communities and institutions.
He was temporarily de-platformed from Facebook in 2017. Predictably, it was widely blasted by the right-wing media. Ironically (and unsurprisingly), he is quick on deleting or removing comments or blocking people from his social media pages.
Tawhidi believes that all acts of terrorism are condemned in the Qur'an, and that Muslim Imams should reflect this matter by publicly and openly condemning violence and terrorist acts attributed to their religion. Tawhidi also believes that Muslims should be united with humanity as a whole and enjoy a gathering of peace and harmony. He has also denounced violence committed by both Shia and Sunni extremists, and considers the radical Sunni sect of Wahabbism, the belief system adhered to by ISIS, to be a cancer upon Islam. In 2017, during a lecture at the Adelaide Rotary Club, Tawhidi said: "I believe that the entire religion needs a review. I believe that there are certain books that need to be banned from this country. There are books that are regarded the second book after the Quran. All mainstream Muslims believe in this book – The Bukhari, a very famous book. It's present in, at least, the majority of Muslim homes, at least. It is everywhere. It is put on the shelf right beside the Quran. Every act of terrorism is taught from that book, yet that book is widely available, sold, and published in Australia." On a tweet, Tawhidi said that a transgendered man who has a sexual fetish that involves pretending to be a dog makes Islamic Extremists look reasonable.
While Tawhidi claims that he is not right wing, he has appeared on a variety of right and far-right platforms on YouTube, where he has repeated his usual talking points on Islam and the left while offering nothing to critical to say regarding the right. During his interview with notorious shyster Dave Rubin Tawhidi made a series of bizarre statements, including that Islamic extremists en masse supported and voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and the Democrats created ISIS.
Despite being a Muslim, Tawhidi is also a supporter of Pauline Hanson and the One Nation Party, claiming that ISIS would never have acquired a stronghold in his native Iraq if politicians like Hanson were in charge.
On May 25, 2017, Tawhidi went on the Sydney-based radio station 2GB (873 AM) with Ben Fordham. During the show, when asked about his credentials, Tawhidi claimed "I received my bachelor's degree and master's degree in Islamic theology from the Al-Mustafa University." Al-Mustafa International University issued a letter denying this claim saying that Tawhidi had been referred to take courses to get a bachelor's degree, was then placed on probation for his insufficient academic record, then dropped out on March 27, 2012 with "no educational progress" achieved. As indicated from the letter, Tawhidi never earned his bachelor's degree from the university, let alone a master's degree.
Facing criticisms regarding his status of imam, he published an apparent investigation from the Royal United Service Institute (RUSI) in South Australia. The investigation was conducted by RUSI making a confirmation on behalf of Tawhidi to two clerics, Sayyid Mohammad Mahdi Tabatabai and Sheikh Mahdi Ma'ash. Ironically, Ma'ash is a close friend of Tawhidi, and Tabatabai is considered "nobody" which makes the investigation objectively suspicious. The so-called investigation also did not contact the Australian National Imams Council, and failed to clarify the issue of the university he claimed to have obtain a bachelor and master's degree repeatedly rejecting his claim.
↑ Right wing media is keen on portraying his islamophobic style as "anti-extremist", "anti-terrorist", or "anti-radical".
↑ This is ironic as he claims himself as "not right wing nor left wing" and instead "human-wing".
↑ Some double useful idiot phenomenon is observed on the Sunni extremists side, who occasionally rally against Tawhidi as "Shia extremist" who tries to undermine Sunni Muslim society. This turns into easily exploitable material for both Tawhidi and his islamophobic fanboys.

1Business plan writing is a developmental process.	2Who knows your company best, you or your hired writer?	3The most compelling plan is the one you create.
It's been years since I was making a real living off of business plan consulting (I migrated to business plan software instead), but I had an exchange last week that reminded me of one of the biggest problems – and most common misunderstandings – related to business plans.
Not that you, in your situation, should never hire a business plan writer, consultant or coach. In some cases that's a good idea. But let me explain that after I tell this story.
One of my first engagements in business planning was as business plan consultant to a startup with three experienced founders. I met with them several times, listened always, and did their business plan. I built the financial model, wrote the text, and produced the document as a business plan document. But I wasn't part of the team. I wasn't able to promise to go full time. I was just the business plan writer.
It was a good startup. It had a good idea and, much more important, a market window, differentiation and experience to make it happen. The three founders had about 40 years of computer company experience between them. And it was a good plan too.
But there was a problem with the plan: The founders didn't know it. They thought it was enough to have a plan, but it wasn't. In every meeting I attended along with the founders, when there were critical questions, I had to answer them. I knew the plan. They didn't. It was my plan.
And, in fact, the plan failed. My clients didn't get financed, and the venture never launched. Of course I was disappointed because I spent a long time developing and revising that plan. I repeatedly changed financial assumptions and revised text.
The best business plan is one you do yourself. Hiring out is threatened by the fact that good business plans in real business use last a few weeks at best. Business planning is about regular review and revision.
Consider hiring somebody from the outside only if you have the budget for it. It is conceivable that you don't want to do it yourself and your time is better applied to other business functions. Cheap business plan writing strikes me as about as good an idea as cheap surgery, cheap dentistry, or discount sushi.
If you do hire somebody, look for a relationship more like coaching than consulting. Hire somebody who shares expertise and experience, makes suggestions, but doesn't do the task so you don't have to.
Don't believe ever that having a business plan written is any good for more than a few short weeks. Business plans get old and useless very quickly. If you don't have one you can keep alive, then you don't have one at all.

Q: Excel Formula to sum cell over multiple sheets I have an Excel document that I need to have a totals sheet which takes in a specific cell over multiple sheets. It also needs to be expandable so I can just add the sheet name to a row or something and it will add it into the formula and the total.
Just a row like this or something similar which could be used to add more sheets in future.
To give you an example currently, I am using a simple SUM function but it's not easily expandable:
=SUM('Sheet1'!A6,'Sheet2'!A6,'Sheet3'!A6)
I have had a look at INDIRECT but I can't find a way of having it expand to the length of an array eg. something like this:
=SUM(INDIRECT(H3:H8,"!A6"))
Would return all the values of A6 across each sheet named in H3:H8 evaluating like:
=SUM(INDIRECT(H3,"!A6"),INDIRECT(H4,"!A6"),INDIRECT(H5,"!A6")...)
If anyone has any ideas of what I can use to achieve this, it would be very helpful!

A: Try this,
SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!A6)
You can add a Sheet named "Start" and one named "End".
Place all sheets you want to sum between the both. So you can use
SUM(Start:End!A6)

A: If you want a dynamic list of sheets for your sum formula, you may

*

*Put the names of the sheets across which you would like to sum your cell(s) on a separate range of cells organized as a column range:

Sheet1
Sheet2
...

*Convert the cells with the names of sheets into a table (select your range, then on the main menu panel select "Insert - Table").

*Name the created table list (i.e. "List_of_Sheets")

*To sum use the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUM(INDIRECT("'"&List_of_Sheets&"'!A6")))

*You may change the names of sheets in your table or add the new ones at the end of the table

10 events expected in the cryptocurrency market in 2018
The American hedge fund manager James Altucher believes that China will launch its own cryptocurrency that will pose a serious competition to Bitcoin and turn most altcoins in financial bubbles. At the same time, the expert forecasts that most countries will start accumulating cryptocurrencies. He shared these and other forecasts in the interview for CNBC.
James Altucher is a founder of 20 companies, author of several popular books about corporate culture and finances.
He owns capital in several cryptocurrencies, but thinks that Bitcoin will remain the only core token in the future, whereas 98% of altcoins will fail. Moreover, Altucher is sure that due to the huge gap between the demand and supply, Bitcoin price has all chances to top $1,000,000 with time.
Overall, he made 10 predictions:
At least one country will shift to Bitcoin after the failure of the national fiat currency, for instance, Venezuela or Argentina. By the way, just several days after the interview was published, Venezuela announced the launch of Petrocoin – its own cryptocurrency.
Major global banks will start launching their own models of crypto wallets and running Bitcoin transactions. Besides, they will introduce Bitcoin futures.
Around 95% of altcoins will face a downfall, like dot-coms in 1990s, but surviving tokens will go up in price significantly. According to Altucher, this will happen within half a year.
The US government will secretly start buying cryptocurrencies for gray-area international transactions. The investor notes that's already happening nowadays but will be really flourishing next year.
China will become the most active cryptocurrency investor. Altucher doubts that the Chinese government will choose Bitcoin; they will more likely have their own token under centralized control, which will bring the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies to the new level.
Price volatility will remain a problem. However, startups like Basecoin will emerge, backing up their tokens with fiat money.
Many corporations will pay freelancers with cryptocurrency. It will result in the changes in tax legislation.
Cryptocurrency will shatter the monopolization of governments for the issue of money.
Countries will have to establish new institutions to handle cryptocurrencies, including the creation of new draft laws.
There will be thousands of crypto startups, but most of them won't have a massive success.

The National Society (Church of England and Church in Wales) for the Promotion of Education, often just referred to as the National Society, and since 2016 also as The Church of England Education Office (CEEO) is significant in the history of education in England and Wales. It promotes church schools and Christian education in line with the established church. Historically it was in strong competition with the nonconformist organization British and Foreign School Society. Both promoted the monitorial system, whereby a few paid teachers worked with senior students who in turn taught the junior students. The National Society was strongly supported by the Anglican clergy, Oxford and Cambridge universities, and the established church. The nonconformist Protestants were in strong opposition.

History
It was founded on 16 October 1811 as the "National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church in England and Wales".  The Church of England, as the established religion, set out as the aim of the new organisation that "the National Religion should be made the foundation of National Education, and should be the first and chief thing taught to the poor, according to the excellent Liturgy and Catechism provided by our Church."  One of the principal founders was Joshua Watson.   The formation and early operation of the National Society was the origin of the liberal education policy founded in the 1830s.

Historically, schools founded by the National Society were called National Schools, as opposed to the non-denominational "British schools" founded by the British and Foreign School Society.

Following the success of the Sunday school movement, the monitorial system of education was developed almost simultaneously by Dr Andrew Bell and Joseph Lancaster. Dr Bell was a clergyman in the Church of England and conducted an experiment with a monitorial school in Madras which he described in An Experiment in Education in 1797. Using this system and in opposition to the nondenominational Lancastrian Society, the Church of England set up the National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church. This monitorial system would dominate popular education for 50 years.

The Notre Dame hockey team has gotten a big lift from its newcomers, but veterans like Calle Ridderwall, pictured, also have been solid in leading the way.
The question has been asked several times the first month of the season of Notre Dame hockey coach Jeff Jackson regarding how this year's team is reacting in key game situations compared to last year's team.
Jackson may have just answered it for the last time after the Irish beat top-ranked Boston College 2-1 Saturday at the Joyce Center before the 10th straight sellout crowd.
"This," said Jackson, "is a different team."
With a 4-1 record and having moved up to No. 13 in the USCHO.com rankings, the Irish already seem a long way from last year's team that opened 5-3-1 before finishing 13-17-8.
"The returning guys are doing a great job," Jackson said after senior left wing Calle Ridderwall scored two goals and sophomore goalie Mike Johnson stopped two shots in the final 11.2 seconds. "It's a fresh start for them because all these young guys are making it a fresh start for all of us," Jackson said. "And giving us a lot to be excited about."
The enthusiasm the 12 freshmen from a recruiting class that was ranked No. 2 in the nation by Inside College Hockey, has been important to both the coaches and returning players, Jackson said.
The freshmen, he said, are "enthusiastic and excited to get a chance to show what they can do."
And between people like left winger Anders Lee, who has four goals and two assists in five games, igniter T.J. Tynan (five points), who made a beautiful pass to set up Ridderwall's first goal Saturday and a grinding freshman line of Jeff Costello, David Gerths and Mike Voran not to mention strongman Stephen Johns and fellow defensemen Shayne Taker and Kevin Lind, they are contributing heavily.
Even Boston College coach Jerry York noticed a difference. "They seem to play with a little more energy this year than last year," he said of the Irish team after his team's first loss, which caused it to fall to No. 2 in the poll.
Johnson, now perfect in four starts with only eight goals allowed, said the Irish took some "major steps" in the win over BC.
"Everyone really stepped up and did their part," he said.
Even down 1-0 in the first period, the Irish did not panic.
"We tried to play the whole game like it was 0-0," said Johnson who had 28 saves. Ridderwall credited his whole line with his scoring. But like Johnson, he saw it as a big step.
"We are pretty excited about this, for sure," he said. "It was definitely a big game for us."
But not totally a surprise.
"I think after we lost the first game to (now sixth-ranked Boston University)," he said of the 5-4 loss in the second game of the season at the Warrior Ice Breaker Tournament in St. Louis, "we thought we had that game as well. So we were definitely ready to come back against a high-end opponent and do some good."
The question now is where do the Irish go from here? This weekend features a home-and-home series with Western Michigan with the Irish hosting Friday.
A win over BC helps, Jackson said, "but it's so early. You don't want to get too excited about it.
"It's more about us learning to be a consistent team, to have these occasional great games against great opponents and make sure we are prepared to play next Friday night.
"To me, that's as important as this game, learning to have that consistency and learning to play at a high level all the time.
"If we do that, we could be a really good team." Johnson indicated the Irish are in agreement with their coach.
"It's obviously a big confidence boost for us," he said of beating the defending NCAA champions. "It makes us want to strive for more.
"We are just going to try to keep getting better and work hard in practice (this) week."


All traders in the forex market eventually come across technical analysis. In the quest to get more accurate facts about the market, most traders resolve to use technical analysis methods in order to move forward with the trade. Technical analysis is the examination of currencies in the trading chart with the goal to identify price patterns which can give a hint on the direction of price. There are numerous tools used for technical analysis. Technical analysis in the forex market, therefore, relies on data that has been recorded over time. Let us delve into the core principles of technical analysis in the forex market.
One of the most common tools you will find while doing technical analysis is support and resistance. Support and resistance are basically the levels where you will observe price action. Usually, the areas where support and resistance have been identified are places where price action hesitates. When prices bounce at these levels, the traders are able to make some trade moves. Traders therefore always look for the areas where support and resistance have been identified because they mark the entry and exit points. Metatrader has dozens of indicators that specialize in technical analysis. Most beginner traders tend to get confused about the usage of Metatrader 4 Vs Metatrader 5. For the forex market though, MT4 is the main platform used for analysis.
The "Bullish" trend is marked by an upward price movement. When the market is described as being bullish, it means that the movement upwards is bigger than the downward movement. Traders are able to capitalize on the movement of the price by observing the signals left by the bullish trend line. This line is straight and it connects the sloping candle lows. Whenever there is a bullish trend, the line intersects with the price and this is the perfect opportunity for a long trade.
The "Bearish" trend is marked by a downward price movement. The market is said to be bearish when the price movement downwards is bigger than the upward movement. The bearish trend line indicates the price movement in case the market is bearish. This line connects all the candle highs on the chart. Traders following the bearish trend are able to enter a trade when there are reversals and breakouts.
The sideways trend is often observed when there is no price movement in the market. Even though the forex market is quite dynamic, there are instances where the trend is flat. When there is a continuous flat trend for a long time, it is often an indication that the prices will take a huge jump right after the trend.
Apart from pure price action trading, there are other kinds of trading in the technical analysis realm. Pattern trading includes candlestick patterns and classical chart patterns. Let us look at each of these.
Candlestick patterns. The candlestick patterns are rightly named as they represent various candlesticks on the chart. These patterns can either be in the forward direction or they can also be reverse from the price direction. There are various patterns observable and they all come with different levels of price actions.
Classical patterns. Classical patterns, on the other hand, are created by the general price action. Similar to the candlestick patterns, the classical patterns also come either as reversals or continuations. There are various reliable patterns that traders can use and they include triple top, double bottom, triangles and rectangles among others.
Technical analysis in the forex market is all about analyzing the different aspects of the charts by taking into account historical data. There are various tools used for this analysis and they rely on support and resistance. It is also possible to backtest in order to make the data more useful. There are also trend lines used on the charts and traders can use various patterns to determine the general and specific direction the price is taking.

Q: How to store multiselect dropdownlist with checkbox values in database with comma seperation I am using a multi-select plugin that converts the Listbox into multi-select dropdownlist with checkbox and I want to store the selected values in the database by separating them with a comma like option1,option2.

   Genres
   <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
     <ContentTemplate>

        <asp:ListBox ID="bkgenres" runat="server" CssClass="form-control multiselect-wrapper" multiple="multiple" onChange="mydun()"></asp:ListBox>
     </ContentTemplate>
     <Triggers>
        <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="bktype" EventName="SelectedIndexChanged" />
     </Triggers>
  </asp:UpdatePanel>

I am using the Listbox inside an update panel and its working all fine but when i select multiple items and try to store in the database only the first selected option gets selected. This is my cs code:
     String get_value = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < bkgenres.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            if (bkgenres.Items[i].Selected)
            {
                get_value = get_value + bkgenres.Items[i].Text + ",";
            }
        }
        SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
        cmd.CommandText = "insert into Books (bookname,bookauthor,bookpublisher,bookdesc,bookdate,bookedition,bookpages,booktype,bookgenre,booklanguage) values (@bkname,@bkauthor,@bkpublication,@bkdesc,@bkdate,@bkedition,@bkpages,@bktype,@bkgenres,@bklang)";

        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkname", bkname.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkauthor", bkauthor.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkpublication", bkpublication.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkdesc", bkdesc.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkdate", bkrdate.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkedition", bkedition.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkpages", bkpages.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bkgenres", get_value);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bktype", bktype.SelectedItem.ToString());
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bklang", bklanguages.Text);
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

After adding the data I am getting output in a database table is like this option1,
The first option is entered in a database and separated by a comma but rest of the options are not saved in the table.

Homosexual rape is epidemic in the US military since gays have been serving. Even the kids who ride the short bus could have told you that, Barack!
From Rowan Scarborough, The Washington Times
Far more military men are being raped by other men and experience other sexual traumas than is reported by the Pentagon because of the stigma attached to such assaults, says a new study released Tuesday by the American Psychological Association.
"Rates of military sexual trauma among men who served in the military may be as much as 15 times higher than has been previously reported, largely because of barriers associated with stigma, beliefs in myths about male rape, and feelings of helplessness," the APA said in releasing findings published in its periodical Psychological Services.
If the survey of male combat veterans is accurate, it could mean the U.S. armed forces are dealing with an epidemic of male-on-male sex crimes.
Comparing the new study's numbers and the Pentagon's survey results produced some shocking statistics.
The Rand Corp., which conducted the most recent Pentagon sexual assault survey in 2014, found that about 12,000 men reported being assaulted. Sexual assault in the military is defined as unwanted sexual contact, including rape and other assaults or the attempt to commit those acts.
Of the 12,000 male victims, 3,850 reported "penetrative" attacks — meaning they were raped.
Extrapolating the study's estimates of up to 15 times greater than thePentagon's count, it would mean that as many as 180,000 men are assaulted in one year and, of those, 57,750 are "penetrative" attacks.
The scholarly survey refers to "male sexual trauma," which translated to this survey question response: "I was sexually assaulted while serving in the military."
"That was the question. It was quite literally it," Sean Sheppard, a psychologist and research fellow at the University of Utah who led the study, told The Washington Times.
Mr. Sheppard said researchers used a random response technique that allowed them to extract more accurate data from a sample of 180 male combat veterans. From that technique, they derived the 15-times rate compared with anonymous surveys such as the Pentagon's.
He said the military should "consider the fact that stigma and other biases potentially leads to underreporting and to utilize techniques like the randomized response technique to try to determine more accurate base rates. It would be a tool in addition to what the Pentagon is doing."
Does the survey mean that the 3,850 male military rape victims count is actually nearly 60,000?
"In the research that we conducted, broadly speaking, the rates of sexual assault are significantly higher," Mr. Sheppard said. "I couldn't tell you whether that is due to rape or not, but you can make that hypothesis."
The study said: "Data from this study, although preliminary, suggest that published rates of male MST [military sexual trauma] may substantially underestimate the true rate of the problem. Current work is underway to replicate these findings and expand the scope of this research by assessing a broader range of behaviors that comprise sexual assault."
The Defense Department issues a biannual report on sexual assaults. Based on Internet emailed surveys, Rand found that more men than women, in pure numbers, are sexual assault victims. Women make up about 14.5 percent of the 1.3 million active-duty force.
"We know that there is underreporting among men and women, and hope that this special issue will help to bring awareness and treatment for those that serve and protect us," said the periodical's co-editor, Michi Fu, a clinical practitioner. "I personally wanted to pull together scholarship after hearing of reports of military sexual trauma being so much more prevalent than in the general population."
Researchers said that even though the Pentagon-sponsored survey is anonymous, men still are reluctant to disclose that they were raped.
The rapes and other assaults come at a cost to the men and the nation, according to a survey of 2,042 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, says another study in Psychological Services.
"Male veterans who reported being sexually assaulted while serving their country suffered more severe symptoms of PTSD and depression, had higher rates of suicidal thoughts and were more likely to enroll in outpatient mental health treatment than those who were not assaulted," the researchers found.
Elaine Donnelly, who runs the Center for Military Readiness, said male-on-male sexual assaults have been increasing since Congress repealed the gay ban in 1993 and replaced it with "don't ask, don't tell," which was erased by President Obama to allow openly gay service members.


The case follows BMW AG v Deenik (C-63/97), the leading CJEU case on the key issue of "referential use".
At its heart this is about whether the use of the signs "affect any of the functions of the trade mark", or in other words, did the context of the use mean the message conveyed was simply and accurately that the services provided were for BMW vehicles, or that this was a specialist in providing repair services for BMWs using genuine BMW parts? If so, the use either fell outside the scope of the EU trade mark infringement provisions altogether or there was a statutory defence to any infringement.
The M logo on the website.
BMW owns EU trade mark registrations or EU designations of an International Registration for these three marks covering "car repair services".
The judge held that this was not as straightforward as whether this repairer was formally authorised (by contractual relationship) or not by BMW. On the evidence, he was persuaded that it was likely that the average consumer in the UK would think that any use of the M logo or roundel would only be by authorised parties, or that such use would at the very least cause the public to wonder if the entity was so authorised. The judge was not convinced that the evidence was sufficient to establish that the specific use of the BMW mark on its own implied authorisation.
Accordingly, the judge held there was infringement of the roundel and the M logo under Article 9(1)(a) (confusion in the sense of believing an economic link) and Article 9(1)(c) (unfair advantage of the reputation in that the implication of authorisation was good for business), but neither form of infringement in respect of the BMW mark.
The judge held that where he had found infringement there was also passing off, but not where there was no infringement.
It is of course settled law that it is possible to use another party's mark where that use is clearly simply to refer to that mark. Whilst there is prima facie infringing use in these circumstances, the use is effectively "descriptive" and so, as long as it is in accordance with honest commercial practices, there is a defence to the prima facie infringement.
Of course, logically there is no differentiation between plain word marks and other types of mark such as logos in this analysis. However, in this case, the judge took a different view in relation to the plain word mark over the two logos. Why? In essence a distinction is being drawn because the judge felt that these logo marks would be more likely to be interpreted by the consumer as meaning an official connection with the brand owner, as against the word mark. In addition it was felt that on this basis, if a formal connection is implied where there is none, it is difficult for the infringer to claim that its actions are in accordance with honest commercial practices.
Naturally this is a fine distinction where the services clearly relate to the marks in question.
This is a useful factual example for brand owners and traders alike illustrating the issue of referential trade mark use and the specific situation of a trader whose use of a supplier's sign goes beyond an accurate statement into an implication of a connection/authorisation when there is none. There can be no hard and fast rule as to what will and won't be acceptable as it will always depend on the specific context of the use complained of. However, this is a warning to those using logo marks of others with impunity. It is important in those circumstances that the message communicated to the consumer is clear.

Chobenalla Aragonesista (Juventud Aragonesista en aragonés), conocida exclusivamente en muchos ámbitos como Chobenalla, fue una organización política juvenil cuyo ámbito de actuación era la comunidad autónoma de Aragón, en España. Chobenalla Aragonesista era una organización de ideología carácter nacionalista aragonés, independentista y socialista, ligada originalmente a la Chunta Aragonesista (CHA), pero desligada de esta a raíz de las diferentes desavenencias que surgieron en 2004 entre ambos grupos.

Historia

Chobenalla Aragonesista nació en 1992 como el órgano juvenil de la Chunta Aragonesista (CHA), aunque desde su nacimiento mantuvo autonomía orgánica con respecto al partido matriz. Su ideario se definió originariamente como nacionalista aragonés de izquierdas, a favor de la autodeterminación de Aragón, habiendo en su seno desde militantes federalistas hasta independentistas, y siendo la organización de referencia del independentismo aragonés juvenil durante más de 20 años. Posteriormente este ideario evolucionó hasta posiciones abiertamente independentistas y socialistas.

Desde el comienzo de su existencia las principales luchas en las que se participó fueron la lucha en defensa de la tierra (contra los pantanos y embalses, donde fue una organización puntera en la lucha contra el Plan Hidrológico Nacional, contra el Proyecto Rubbiatron, etc.), en defensa del idioma aragonés y otras luchas propias de la izquierda como el antifascismo o el feminismo.

A lo largo de su historia tuvo muchos altibajos en número de militancia, bien por escisiones, bien por bajas masivas producidas por desavenencias con CHA.

Estas desavenencias siempre se habían producido, no obstante se hicieron efectivas después de la Asambleya Nazional de Chobenalla Aragonesista celebrada en Jaca en 2004, en donde se aprobaron una serie de medidas que, según la dirección nacional de CHA, se alejaban del ideario del partido. Una de las más importantes fue el posicionamiento de Chobenalla Aragonesista en contra de cómo se iba a realizar la Exposición Internacional (evento conocido popularmente como expo) que se celebró en Zaragoza durante el verano de 2008, exposición a la que en principio CHA se había opuesto por su ubicación y a la cual después apoyó una vez entró en el gobierno de la ciudad de Zaragoza en coalición con el PSOE.

Chobenalla Aragonesista, como organización con tintes independentistas y con ideología más izquierdista que la de CHA, siempre se opuso a la organización de una exposición universal en Zaragoza. CHA expulsó sus juventudes, aunque no eliminó la mención a Chobenalla Aragonesista como sección juvenil del partido en sus estatutos. En 2007, junto A Enrestida, Puyalón y Estau Aragonés, se integró en el Bloque Independentista de Cuchas (BIC). En 2008 volvieron a ser admitidas como juventudes de la Chunta Aragonesista, después de un acuerdo de la Asambleya Nazional de CHA celebrada en Huesca.

Chobenalla Aragonesista, integrada ya en el BIC, decidió en su VIII Asambleya, después de ser readmitida en la VI Asambleya de CHA, desvincularse de éstos y trazar una estrategia totalmente independiente y autónoma. Así, en 2010, fue una de las organizaciones fundamentales en la conformación de la actual organización juvenil de la izquierda independentista aragonesa, que se llama Purna, dando por concluidos los 18 años de existencia de la organización.

Bono's son on the pros and cons of being in a band when your dad is a rock superstar

U2 singer Bono's son has said being the child of a rock superstar is both a blessing and a curse as he launches his own band.
Elijah Hewson, 20, who fronts Irish group Inhaler, has revealed there are pros and cons to being in a band as the son of one of music's most recognisable stars.
The band have so far only released a few singles, but have already bagged support slots with Oasis legend Noel Gallagher, and Stockport indie band Blossoms.

Inhaler have been billed as 'ones to watch' for 2020 by many outlets, including NME, Amazon Music, Radio X and the BBC and the guitar-based four piece have today (5 January) been announced as number five in the BBC Sounds of 2020 list.
Speaking to the BBC about the band, and input of dad Bono, Hewson Jnr. said: "A lot of U2 fans do come to our gigs, who are all really lovely. They've all been really supportive, so obviously that's a benefit.

"But I'd say it can also be an obstacle as well if you're trying to do stuff your own way. But we're not complaining at all."
And does dad Bono, real name Paul Hewson, get involved or offer tips on being a success?
Eli added: "I'd never ask him for advice - only advice about where am I going to live next year and that sort of thing. I try not to ask him about music."

My Emerald Story: A True Jewel
April 22, 2022 Editor
In celebration of the South Seattle Emerald's 8th Anniversary, we asked community members to share moments in our publication's history that remain special to them.
by Benjamin Hunter
Without the Emerald, the true narrative of our community would rarely be told. For too long, and for too often, most media has painted our community in a negative light. When I say community, I include everyone who our mainstream media often ignores, diminishes, and casts aside. The Emerald has been here to remind our community of its worth, and that like all emeralds, karat for karat, the people of our community are worth more than gold. Join me in supporting the Emerald as a recurring donor during their 8th anniversary campaign, Ripples & Sparks at Home, April 20–28. Become a Rainmaker today by choosing the "recurring donor" option!
—Phillip "Papa" Green, The Publisher's Dad (and Longtime Community Curmudgeon)
I can't think about the South Seattle Emerald without thinking back to the old days when it started. It was 2013 or 2014 (ha, "the old days"), and I had just started the Hillman City Collaboratory — a co-working space, event space, and social change incubator — with my friend and co-conspirator John Helmiere.
Now, I recognize that I'm a transplant to this city and that people had been organizing long before I got here. But for me, there was this palpable energy in the South End at this time. Rainier Valley Corps was being formed. Families of Color Seattle was getting started. Even in City government, Randy Engstrom was leading an incredible team of people in the Office of Arts & Culture that was changing the ways we did our cultural and creative work. People with incredible ideas, ambition, and collective vision for the Rainier Valley were sharing, networking, collaborating, and dreaming up a better world. They challenged every stereotype of the Seattle freeze. They wanted to say hi to others walking down the street! That alone makes all the difference.
It was in these inspiring days that I first met Marcus — and his mother, Mama Green! The Collaboratory was a work in progress, up until we had to close our doors during the pandemic. And in those early days, it was always a partial construction zone. Marcus and Mama Green would come in once a week to mop the floors as work trade for use of the space as they started the Emerald. One of the nights, my mom was pulling a late night with me to install crown molding in the co-working space. A few feet away were Marcus and Mama Green, and it made me think of how both our mamas helped out in the werewolf hours of the night so we could achieve our dreams. Whether they remember that evening or not, the symmetry of our experience solidified what continues to be a very profound friendship for me.
This memory is also in line with what the Emerald represents to me: legacy, friendship, camaraderie, resilience, passion.
Achieving eight years of organizational growth is not an easy feat. It's even harder when your organizational structure is an outlier to the normative structures that dominate a field. It's those aforementioned qualities that have made the Emerald the publication that it is. The Emerald is built on the foundation of real stories, meaningful relationships, and a process that isn't extractive, salacious, or backstabbing.
In a time when everyone has something to say, it brings me calm to know that there is a news source that is taking the time to listen. In a time when everyone wants instant gratification, I appreciate pausing to reflect on the fact that this paper started piece by piece and through work-trade.
The South Seattle Emerald is a true jewel of intricate beauty and incredible strength — the result of great patience, care, and dogged enterprise.
Help us celebrate our 8th anniversary with our 'Ripples & Sparks at Home' virtual event on April 28 at 7 p.m. with Ijeoma Oluo, Charles Johnson, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, and our own Marcus Harrison Green — with the music of Shaina Shepherd and Intisaar, plus Emerald board member Lucas Draper will make a custom cocktail/mocktail with you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. RSVP here!

Introduction Programs API Community
API offers students a wonderful opportunity for students to take a gap year in Argentina to study abroad or participate in community service programs abroad and experience the Argentine culture and way of life in Buenos Aires and Mendoza.
Study abroad classes are comprised of other foreign and American students at the Universidad de Belgrano in Buenos Aires, or at the Universidad de Congresso in Mendoza. Spanish language programs are available for students at all levels in the Intensive Language program, while students in the Argentine and Latin American Studies program can choose from more culture and content courses in Spanish, as well as courses in English.
Community service options may include working at a local food bank, working with young children or senior citizens, teaching English, or volunteering at local community organizations. Participants can also improve their Spanish language skills through the completion of a Spanish language and conversation course at a local language institute. One-month, two-month, and three-month placements are available.
Argentina's pleasures – stunning natural wonders, an elegant capital with a European-flavored sophistication, and a passionate culture – are as tempting as ever. The silver lining to the financial cloud is that it's now one of the best travel bargains around. This is one Latin American country where Europeans and North Americans can feel at ease and travel relatively inconspicuously. An interest in soccer and some nimble foot skills may be all you need to blend in with the locals.

The Hornets, Rockets, and Lakers agree to a trade that would send Chris Paul (aka CP3) to Los Angeles, Lamar Odom, Louis Scola, Kevin Martin, and Goran Dragic to New Orleans, and Pau Gasol to Houston. Or something like that.
The NBA and the re-formed players' association finalize the new collective bargaining agreement, officially ending the lockout.
In trying to understand what happened here, citing "basketball reasons" is pretty unhelpful. I suppose it's preferable to "bocce ball reasons," but still. Stern ostensibly was acting on behalf of small-market owners, including Cleveland's Dan Gilbert, who objected to the deal. What he won't tell you in this conversation, but everyone else knows, is that the league owns the Hornets.
I know that leagues sometimes deny trades because they're unfair as a general matter: if a team is just dumping all its players to another team, there can be competitiveness concerns that damage the sport as a whole.
When the league, or the commissioner, also plays the role of owner of an individual team and acts like an owner of an individual team, it threatens to shatter an understood reality of sports. Every Day Should Be Saturday compared Stern to WWE's Vince McMahon, and it's a casual comparison that's tough to quibble with. The reality of professional sports that we understand is that the league commissioner is supposed to exist above and outside the league, holding it within its defined parameters of operation. When a commissioner reaches inside to meddle with specific actions of individual teams, though, it challenges the understood reality. Leagues and commissioners have been uncomfortably close to individual teams before, and baseball commissioner Bud Selig saved his Milwaukee Brewers from contraction when they probably should've been contracted, but even Selig hasn't intervened in trades involving the Brewers.
Every analyst I have heard or read last night and this morning agrees that the trade was a fair one that made the Hornets better. Paul is a free agent at the end of this shortened season, and he publicly expressed his desire to play for a different team. A trade now is the most beneficial thing for New Orleans; Paul's value as a trade piece will be nothing once he's a free agent. If Stern blocked a deal that improves the Hornets, one has to wonder whether he would approve of any deal that sees Paul leaving the team. We need a better explanation that "basketball reasons" to understand what happened here and what the NBA's official Chris Paul policy is going forward.
I expect the league will lean heavily on the rationale that other owners were protesting the trade on the notion that "what the lockout was all about" was keeping big-market teams (i.e., Miami) from assembling all-star lineups. It's fine if that's what the lockout was all about, but if so, then that's what the lockout was about. The lockout now is over. The teams and players agreed to a new system that, we can assume by their agreement, resolved their concerns. The new agreement put in place policies that were designed to cure whatever ills led to the disagreement in the first place. Probably (surely!) the best analogy for this disconnect on the part of the protesting owners is McCulloch v. Maryland, the 1819 Supreme Court decision involving the Second Bank of the United States. What really was going on behind the scenes was a battle between the views of two Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. America's new constitutional system was freshly in place, and, from Madison's perspective, the bank proposal was contrary to the spirit of that system and a serious threat to it. Hamiltonian thinking (AH was assassinated in the summer of 1804) was to the contrary, however, and it won the day. Under that view, the federal government could do whatever the Constitution allowed it to do, and the Court agreed that the Constitution authorized the creation of the bank.
Even though some of the Founders (i.e., Madison) thought that creation of the bank was contrary to the constitutional system's vision, it was not contrary to the Constitution itself. In the case of the NBA lockout and the Chris Paul trade, the protesting owners track Madison: they want to maintain the newly created arrangement in pristine state, unmarred by those Hamiltonian operatives (i.e., Paul, the Lakers, Rockets, and Hornets) who are ready to jump into action and play within the newly established parameters. This trade does not violate the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement. If, in the minds of some, it violates some spirit of that agreement, the result is not that the trade also violates the agreement; rather, it is that the agreement has failed to live up to its values.
All of this, of course, is aside from the obvious conflict of interest mentioned at the beginning that the NBA has in owning the New Orleans Hornets. If the league is willing to intervene on the team's behalf to block a deal that would improve the team but see the departure of a marquee player, the league should've first inserted itself and forced the Utah Jazz to sell their name to the NOLA franchise. Then! I'd be more likely to believe good (if unstated) intentions on Stern's part here. This is a troubling first act for Stern post-lockout, however, and it's worth noting that he took this action only after– but mere moments after– securing the players' execution of the new collective bargaining agreement.
I wrote that the NBA lockout was more interesting and entertaining than actual NBA games, but if the post-lockout NBA is going to be like this, the NBA just may have kept this fan on board (and that even after Shane Battier brutally ditched Memphis for Miami via tweeted Jimmy Buffet reference).
