Q: CreateUserWithEmailandPassword stops when entering while loop? Hello I'm trying to build a login system for my app. I am trying to make sure I am logged in before I move onto my next activity but firebase seems to stop trying to log in if I enter a while loop. Like seriously wtf? I am building this in android studio btw.
Here is some code:
void handleLogin() {
//Check our form
    if (!validateForm()) {
       Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "All Fields Required",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       return;
    }
    //Sign in the user
    mAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
           .addOnCompleteListener(this, new     OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>  () {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                Log.d(TAG, "signInWithEmail:onComplete:" + task.isSuccessful());
                if (!task.isSuccessful()) {
                    Log.w(TAG, "signInWithEmail", task.getException());
                    Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "Authentication failed.",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        });
 }

        handleLogin();

        while(!isLogged){ //THIS IS WHERE MY PROBLEM OCCURS
            System.out.println("Authenticating...");
            try{
                Thread.sleep(250);
            }catch (InterruptedException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        //handleDataStorage();
        //startActivity(intent);
    }
});
}

For some reason when I don't have the while loop in there it logs me in just fine, but when I include the login while loop it stays there forever. Why is that?

A: Using a spin loop of Thread.sleep() to wait for something to happen is a very bad idea. Android (and most modern environments) implement event driven models that remove the need to do this.
If you look at your code, it boils down to:
 doThingA();
 waitForThingA();
 doSomethingThatDependsOnThingA();

In a event driven model you would instead write this as:
doThingAandThen(doSomethingThatDependsOnThingA);

If you look at the code you already have, you can find examples where this pattern is already follow. For example, this code responds to when the authentication state of the user changes:
mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
   @Override
   public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth mAuth) {
        FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
        if (user != null) {
           Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());
           isLogged = true;
           System.out.println("Logged in: " + isLogged);
        } else {
           Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");
   }
}

You want to handle data storage and transition to a different activity when the user is signed in. By putting that code into this so-called auth state listener, you can accomplish the same without a wait loop:
//Checking authState from Firebase
mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
   @Override
   public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth mAuth) {
        FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
        if (user != null) {
           Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());
           isLogged = true;
           handleDataStorage();
           //startActivity(intent);
        } else {
           Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");
   }
}


Q: I am 31 years old and an on/off again treadmill runner/jogger. I tried to start running outside but it made my knees hurt too bad so I have to resume treadmill running. I know the importance of strength training and actually love lifting weights and body weight exercises. My question is this: I love how lunges make my thighs get firm but lately they are hurting my knees and now when I walk down stairs my knees speak to me. Yes, I am a bit heavy but I don't want to give up exercise! I want to save my knees as I hope to get many more years out of them. I don't have consistent exercise to a pool so can you suggest any leg strengthening exercises that won't hurt my knees? Any suggestions (other than lose weight) on how to save/strengthen my knees? Thanks Erika-this has really perplexed me and I've skipped working out because I'm scared for my knees.
I always hate to hear someone say that they're skipping a workout, especially out of "fear," mainly because in a lot of instances, activity is what you need the most… just the right kind of activity.
Whenever you're experiencing joint pain, nine times out of ten it has to do with the way you're moving, usually in either the thigh or the calves (or both.) As you move, all of your joints are supported by the adjacent muscles. When it comes to your major joints – shoulders, chest, pants, shoes…. uhh, I mean hips, knees, ankles (purposefully leaving out shoulders, fingers, toes, and wrists for the intentions of this post, but they are/have joints as well) – they tend to take quite a beating, and the beating only gets worse as you age particularly because many people are so sedentary throughout the day.
"Creaky" joints are only a major concern when there is pain involved with the cracking. It's usually a result of the same kind of mechanism that allows you to painlessly crack your knuckles, neck, or back. A sedentary person that would otherwise be less active, all of a sudden starts moving (or moving in new and different ways), and it's safe to bet that your joints are going to protest a little bit.
If you do experience pain, however, go see a joint specialist – it's likely due to a loss of connective tissue, and that is where permanent damage can occur.
When it comes to identifying knee pain, take a long, hard look at your knee – is the pain directly on the joint, or is it just above or below? If it's above or below, it's related to the muscle groups responsible for the joint, not the joint itself, and it's an easy fix.
Treadmills aren't quite the salve we think they are. They're human hamster wheels – the terrain never changes, there's never any opportunity for you to increase your own pace naturally, they have their times where they're potentially dangerous, and they actually can de-condition your body for running outdoors. Treadmills allow you to get away with running on your heels and conditions you to be comfortable with that and, once you try to do that outdoors, you struggle. In other words, consistent treadmill running can make it harder for you to run outdoors.
Long time runners will tell you – hell, I told you years ago – that you have to pick one: outdoors or treadmill. You cannot train equally on both, and outdoor running – regardless of the terrain – is infinitely better. Because the treadmill essentially bends to your movement, designed to make it easier for you to run no matter how you run, it enables you to run with poor form. When you're outdoors, however, Mother Nature isn't interested in your tomfoolery. The Earth does not cave to your heel striking – you land on that heel and, like a shockwave, the force moves up through all of your joints, through all of your muscle groups, eventually dissipating somewhere around your core. This is where that hip pain comes from. This is where that plantar fasciitis comes from. And, this is where that knee pain comes from.
At the same time, that outdoor terrain is how your body changes – your legs get leaner because your muscles have to grow and change and move differently to support you better. As your muscles are more active, your calorie burn increases and improves. Your heart rate gets higher faster, and your heart gets stronger. Your time outdoors is more effective. You get the job done faster.
Also, check out your running form. Kiss the treadmill goodbye – or, at least, no more running on it (walk/speed walk in intervals instead!) and definitely no training for events on it – and focus your genuine running outside, and use this as an opportunity to tighten up that form. It might mean you have to go slower, but that's okay. Fast runners were slow runners (and, even walkers) once upon a time, too, so you don't have to feel like you'll never pick up speed or endurance.
I'd also recommend a knee brace for the time being. Something is going awry in your legs, and it could be temporary or permanent. While you work to strengthen the muscles that support those joints and tighten that running form up, the knee brace will help you remain mindful of your movement – focusing your movement in the right direction, no knees going outward to the side instead of forward – and help you feel supported in your knee, thereby better strengthening your muscle groups.
You don't have to give up anything, but you do have to go slowly and take your time. When it comes to those sounds in your knee, pay close attention. I had this issue in the beginning, and it went away after a couple of months of consistent, but mindful training. If yours doesn't, don't be afraid to go see a specialist to get some insight – unattended knee pain can quickly turn into hip pain (because you'll eventually start walking differently to avoid the knee pain, only aggravating the hips) and then you'll really be up a creek.
Stay consistent, stay conscious of your needs, and don't be afraid to slow down or stop when your body fights it… and I promise, your knees will go back to giving you the silent treatment!
I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about these things as you are, Erika, but one of the things that I've noticed in my own wogging (walk/jogging) journey is that I need regular alternate exercises so that my muscles don't shorten due to the repetitive nature of walking/running. When I don't do things like stretch regularly (I'm REALLY bad about that actually), incorporate yoga/Pilates, and strength train my legs (weighted leg lifts — adductors and abductors especially, as they're usually not strengthened as much as hamstrings and quads when we train, and provide a counterbalance), I experience much more knee pain and knee fatigue, particularly when going up/down the stairs.
Having been morbidly obese for decades, this is not unexpected for me–the pain, that is–as I also have arthritis, but it's only been lately that I've been able to put together a regimen that addresses all the leg muscles more or less equally. What I like most about your response to this reader, though, is that you encourage continuing to move. This is why you ROCK…well, that and your truly amazing, epic fro!
But you remind me of something else that I intended to include in the post – flexibility!
I had the learn the hard way less is more. I'm a heavy person with arthritis in both knees. I started taking water aerobics years ago. It helped. My flexibility increased and my left knee stopped hurting all together. I was working out 4 days a week and all was well. Then I hit my stride. I started loosing weight and though I'd ramp things up. I started working out 6 days a week and I would put my all into each workout. Suddenly my right knee started hurting really bad. I thought I'd work through the pain. Then my back started hurting. I ended up having to chill for 2 weeks to make the pain go away. I'm allergic to NSAIDS so all I did was lie on a heating pad. I've since seen my ortho and pulled my workouts back down to 4 days.
This was my question-you have no idea the thrill I felt seeing it answered! THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIKA! I truly had no idea what to do and it's been two weeks since my last workout and I honestly miss it! Since I stopped exercising the knee pain went away and now I won't worry about my "noisy" knee! I feel like God is trying to tell me something because this week my doctor advised I spend more time/effort on weight training and I will use your suggestions of using a ball to support myself. Because I really do love running outside especially due to this lovely weather I will slowly build my tolerance to it and base my progress on how my knees feel. Once again, thanks so much-you have no idea how much you've helped!
Aw, thank you! Get out there and be active!
When you use that exercise ball, you need to use it in a way that allows you to lean against the wall, alleviating some of the pressure you'll be sending through your legs to your feet and lessening the amount of weight you put on your feet. I recommended a good, reliable, sturdy ball – it's the one I own and have owned for years – so don't be afraid to lean against it with as much weight as you need to. These aren't the only exercises you can do, but these are the ones I recommend. Feel free to look for other ones, just be sure that you're using the ball in a way where the ball is lessening the weight and pressure you put on your feet.
And, if your doc told you to focus on weight training, then my initial thinking was right – get yourself a foam roller, too, and roll your quads/hamstrings and calves before you strength train, so that your muscles get the most out of what you're training for.
Your reply brought up a question I've had for a while, & even tho I feel bad for side-tracking the conversation, it just popped into mind & if I don't get it out, I'll forget.
I've seen people at my gym using foam rollers all over the place. What exactly is their primary function? Is it stretching?
Really embarrassed that, as much as I talk about foam rolling, I've never actually written a post dedicated to that. Let me fix that today.
Thank you for answering this question. I found out this week that my mom has lost the cartilage in her knee and its bone on bone bow. They are suggesting surgery. This has prompted to me get real serious about my journey. I haven't been consistent because my knee hurts sometimes and my plantar fasciitis has come back…..and I would stop working out. I'm glad I read this article because I have a ball and I'm going to invest in a foam roller as well. I know you swear by them. At this point, I'm willing to get it all a try to help me find my rhythm. I'm also considering a personal trainer. Any tips on finding a good one??
Thank you for posting the article again Erika! I knew you had written about it before but when I did a search on your site, the article you posted didn't come up. I know that I'm looking for someone that is used to working with overweight/obese trainees but not into fat shaming and that's what I got this week when I started asking around at my gym. The personal training "manager" told me I was obese and that I needed to do something about (like hurry up and sign a 12 month personal training contract) because of all my diseases/illnesses like high blood pressure. I told him I don't have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol…..he told me….but you will. Needless to say I kept it moving. I'm not looking for handholding but guidance, direction and yes some encouragement would be nice also. Not fat shaming. The last time I checked….making someone feel bad about themselves does not prove to be a great motivator.
Unfortunately, so much of running a successful personal training business is about sales, and so much of sales is about fear being a great motivator to get people to buy what you're offering… some personal trainers are in a great position to tell you that you're going to die if you don't work with them.
For winter running, is there a good alternative exercisd to the treadmill? I joined a gym in March just because the conditions here were horrendous (8 inches of ice on the sidewalks from Jan-Apr. And most of the streets). I ended up with a concussion trying to deal with it, which put me down for a month.
Is there any place you can go in your area that will allow you a trail or pathway to get to that's safe and well-maintained?

No story is more beloved by children and grown-ups alike than this wise, enchanting fable. The author reminisces about a day when his plane was forced down in the Sahara, a thousand miles from help. There he encountered a most extraordinary small-person. "If you please," said the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And thus begins the remarkable story of the Little Prince, whose strange history he learned, bit by bit, in the days that followed. There are few stories that in some way, in some degree, change the world forever for their readers. This is one. Antoine de Saint-Exupry (1900-1944) was the author of numerous books on the subject of aviation, many of which have become classics of French and world literature.


Turn your back to the water, lie down on your back, relax. Spread your arms and legs straight like a star and look at the sky. Take a deep breath, this will allow you to float more easily. Your stomach touching slightly above the water, breath in and out slowly.
Floating on your back in the water often conjures up images of childhood and innocence. And while floating on your back is a core lesson of 'Swimming 101' – it is also an important method to consider to relieve pain, improve sleep, address lack of energy, help with anxiety and discomfort or even diminish bad habits, phobias or addiction.
The float pod combines the sensation of weightlessness with a technique known as Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, or R.E.S.T. The buoyancy created by the dense Epsom salt solution effectively removes the effects of gravity on the body, and brings the individual close to an experience of total weightlessness.
Scientists estimate that up to 90% of the brain's normal workload is caused by the effects of processing routine external stimulation. Simply put it takes a lot of energy for our bodies to fight gravity, and operate our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which are responsible for the fight-or-flight response and the relaxation response. Modern research has thoroughly documented how chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system by routine daily stressors is the hallmark of the modern stress epidemic.
Floating screens out these external physical stimuli, creating a pure state of sensory relaxation. It is then that your body has a chance to restore itself naturally, while you lie back and simply relax.
Here's what you can experience during a float pod session.
Historically reserved for professional and Olympic athletes, float pod technology has only recently been introduced to mainstream training. Used in conjunction with Weiler athletic training, the float pod will also play a role in improving athletic performance and help prevent sports injuries or speed healing. Stay tuned for Weiler Academy's new float pod – coming in June 2015!

Q: Why does jquery not respond accordingly to my conditions? I want my tablerows to have the class 'clickable' only if edit mode is turned on. With element inspect I can see that this works. It succesfully removes the 'clickable' class if I turn off edit mode.
If a table row has the class clickable it will click it's checkbox upon clicking the table row. This works too, however when I turn off edit mode, I'm still able to click tablerows and by doing so, also check the checkbox.

If you can see something that I've overlooked please let me know.
    function clickableTableRow(isClickable) {
        if (isClickable) {
            $(tableBody).find('tr').each(function () {
                $(this).addClass("clickable");
                $(this).click(function () {
                    $(this).find('input[type=checkbox]').click();
                });
            })
        } else {
            $(tableBody).find('tr').each(function () {
                $(this).removeClass("checked").removeClass("clickable");
                $(this).find('input[type=checkbox]').prop("checked", false);
            })
        }
    }

So to clarify, in element inspect I can see that it does all as it should, so I think the problem lays in the function where I make a checkbox click upon clicking on a tablerow

A: Use .off()
$(this).off('click');

The off() Method in jQuery is used to remove event handlers attached
  with the on() method -or the .click() method. The off() method brings a lot of consistency to
  the API and it replace unbind(), die() and undelegate() methods.

A: The event handler was still active, using .off() turns it off. Adding this line of code tot the else statement solved the issue:
 $(this).off('click');

Waltham Forest Matters | Cllr. Clare Coghill and Square Roots Registered Provider Ltd.: the controversy continues
Reaction to Cllr. Coghill's appointment to the Board of Square Roots Registered Provider Ltd. continues to provoke discussion, and, in some quarters, condemnation.
One issue is whether her change of circumstance will impact on how LBWF does business with developers.
Normally, there is a good deal of arm-wrestling in such negotiations, with the two sides haggling over, for example, the balance between social and private housing, the amount of green space and ancillary facilities to be included, and so on.
Cllr. Coghill, needless to say, has intimate knowledge of LBWF's current plans and bargaining strategy.
Questioned about whether LBWF has any legal control over what Cllr. Coghill can or can't divulge to her new employer, or indeed anyone else, LBWF Chief Executive Martin Esom responds as follows:
'Cllr Coghill is not an employee of the Council but a directly elected politician and as such there is no contract of employment between Cllr Coghill and the Council. As you may be aware on taking office all councillors sign a declaration to abide by the Councils Code of Conduct for Members and this includes the duty not to disclose any confidential information that she receives whilst a councillor.
If after leaving office Cllr Coghill sought to disclose confidential information that she received whilst a councillor then the council would consider what legal action it may wish to take depending on the circumstances, which could include injunctive relief and damages'.
However, this is less reassuring than he probably intends.
No doubt, Cllr. Coghill will continue to follow the Code until she stops being an elected representative in May next year, but it is what happens subsequently that causes unease.
Most obviously, when Cllr. Coghill steps down, she will become just another private citizen, so LBWF will have no legitimate way of tracking who she talks to, or what she tells them.
In addition, defining 'confidential' in this context is far from clear cut.
True, Cllr. Coghill will have seen a large body of written material marked restricted. But what of her opinions, say, about the strengths and weaknesses of senior Town Hall staff, gained over years of personal interaction and observation? Such knowledge almost certainly will be important as Square Roots (plus parent, London Square Ltd., and related subsidiaries) further develop their projects in Waltham Forest, but is outside of any legal strictures. And a moment's thought throws up many similar examples.
In other words, though Mr. Esom may talk tough, and seek to shut the stable door, the horse has probably already bolted.
So much for practical matters.
But comment on Cllr. Coghill's move into the private sector has also focused attention on her reputation and legacy.
The general tone is one of disappointment, a sense that Cllr. Coghill has let the side down, perhaps betrayed the values that both she and her supporters once seemed to share.
In telling the story of her life, Cllr. Coghill habitually harps on her humble background, and the discrimination she has faced as a woman.
Thus, in one biographical sketch, she recounts being 'educated in comprehensive schools held together with sellotape and the unfailing goodwill of teachers and parents', while in another she claims that when she first joined the Labour Party, 'I was greeted…by blokes who didn't see the point of a young woman coming along and expressing < gasps > an opinion'.
Unsurprisingly, having experienced such adversities, Cllr. Coghill then goes on to stress how they have shaped her political career. She likes to paint herself as different to her male peers, a leader who has yoked feminism to her socialism, and thus, in historic terms, become a role model for all women who are interested in mainstream politics.
Needless to say, in the past this has played well with some left-leaning segments of the electorate, yet whether it stands up to scrutiny is another matter.
For one thing, Cllr. Coghill's post-secondary school career progression seems less a tale of struggle against the odds, more akin to a ride on an up escalator, headed for the top.
Consider her progression. Degree from University of York; post-graduate degree from University of Montpellier; placement with the influential Barry Sheerman, MP, later his office manager; Group Co-ordinator with the Parliamentary Sustainable Waste Group; employment at two prominent private sector consultancies; elected councillor in May 2010; Junior Cabinet Member for Health also in 2010, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People in 2012, and Cabinet Member for Economic Growth and Town Centres in 2014; finally, Leader in 2017.
Of course, besides talent, there has been a lot of hard work involved in this ascent, plus some calculation, and good fortune. But it is also true that Cllr. Coghill has benefited from being picked out early on by the Labour machine, and then assiduously assisted.
In context, therefore, her jump into the lucrative end of the private sector seems no more than a logical next step. Cllr. Coghill has amassed a wealth of knowledge and contacts, and is now thought of as a 'housing expert'. Little wonder she wants to monetarise such advantages.
As to Cllr. Coghill's brand of socialism and feminism, that too invites questions. It is clear that she holds her principles dear, and, for example, has rarely passed up an opportunity to underline that she is on the side of 'everywoman'.
But whether Councillor Coghill has delivered on her rhetoric is disputable.
Two sets of statistics, previously reported on this blog, are particularly illuminating.
In 2019, LBWF estimated that men in the Town Hall earnt on average 13.5 per cent more than women, a gender pay gap that was roughly twice the then average for all local authorities.
And in 2021, LBWF revealed that to bring its housing estate (including sheltered housing blocks and high-rise towers) up to an acceptable safety standard meant completing an extraordinary 14,525 separate corrective 'actions', 72 per cent 'high' or 'medium' priority, at a cost of c. £40m..
Thus, the current disappointment with Cllr. Coghill for 'selling out' is perhaps a bit naïve, and says more about her erstwhile supporters' fantasies than the alleged shortcomings of their ex-heroine.
How, then, should Cllr. Coghill's time as Leader be evaluated?
In 2020, 'communications and engagement experts' ECF profiled Cllr. Coghill in advance of a 'Webinar briefing', and concluded by observing, 'Waltham Forest is generally considered to be one of the most pragmatic and pro-investment in London'.
That surely serves as a suitable epitaph, albeit perhaps an unexpected one for a politician who wears her 'woman of the people' heart so prominently on her sleeve.
LBWF launches a £40m. programme to upgrade the fire safety of its social housing provision, but questions remain as to why this wasn't done years ago

Cunoscut pentru studiul jazz-ului și muzicii moderne din America , oferă și cursuri la nivel universitar într-o gamă largă de stiluri contemporane și istorice, inclusiv rock, hip hop, reggae, salsa, heavy metal și bluegrass  . Studenții Berklee au câștigat 294 premii Grammy, mai mult decât oricare altă universitate și 95 de premii Latin Grammy  . Situat în Boston, Massachusetts, are mai multe facultăți, personal, studenți și artiști vizitatori de seamă. Aproximativ 3.800 de studenți studiază aici în fiecare an (date din 2011).

Berklee College of Music nu trebuie confundat cu campusul Universității din California, Berkeley .

Istorie
Berklee a fost fondată de către Lawrence Berk și inițial numele său era Schillinger House of Music, în onoarea profesorului Joseph Schillinger  . Scopul inițial al școlii era de a preda Sistemul Schillinger armonic și de compoziție muzicală  . După extinderea curriculumului școlii în 1954, Berk a schimbat denumirea instituției în Berklee School of Music, în onoarea fiului său Lee Berk  și ca punct în numele celebrei Universități din California, Berkeley (Studenților le e adesea greu să le explice oamenilor că Berklee College of Music și Universitatea din California, Berkeley sunt lucruri diferite.) Când școala a primit acreditarea, în anul 1973, numele a fost schimbat în Berklee College of Music. Lee Berk nu a studiat niciodată formal muzica - de fapt a absolvit Dreptul și Știința Afacerilor. Totuși, fiica ei, Lucy Berk, este studentă a acestei școli.

În momentul în care a fost fondată, aproape toate școlile de muzică se axau, în principal, pe studiul muzicii clasice . Misiunea inițială a lui Berklee a fost să ofere instruire muzicală în jazz, rock și alte stiluri de muzică contemporană care nu erau disponibile în cadrul celorlalte școli de muzică.

În cazul celor care doresc admiterea în cadrul școlii, Berklee evaluează atât traiectoria academică, cât și cea profesională a candidatului, ulterior, respectivul candidat trebuind să dea o audiție și un interviu oral  . Media de promovabilitate printre cei care se prezintă la admitere, este 15%.

În februarie 2006, mai mulți studenți s-au alăturat și au organizat primul club oficial de atletism Berklee, o echipă de hochei . Echipa de hochei Berklee a sperat să joace în Liga de hochei senior din New England în sezonul 2006-2007, și în American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) în sezonul 2007-2008. Echipa joacă în Rockland și West Roxbury .

Statistici și demografie

Începând cu anul 2013-2014, numărul total de înscriși la Berklee a fost de 4.402 de studenți. Dintre studenții înscriși la nicelul de licență, 29% erau femei, 11% erau afro-americani și 10% erau hispanici. Cu 40% dintre studenții non-americani, Berklee are cel mai mare procent de studenți străini, reprezentanți a peste 70 de țări. Cele 8 țări care contribuie cu cei mai mulți studenți străini sunt Coreea, Japonia, Mexic, Republica Dominicană, Spania, Franța, Italia și Brazilia. Actualul președinte, Roger H. Brown, a fost desemnat în anul 2004. Pe lângă studenții care participă la campusul Berklee din Boston, în anul universitar 2012-2013, aproximativ 5.000 de studenți au luat cursuri online prin Berklee Online

Berklee oferă trei semestre anuale complete de patru luni: toamna, primăvara și un program accelerat de 12 săptămâni vara. (Comparativ cu semestrele de patru luni din toamnă și primăvară). De asemenea, oferă nenumărate programe de vară pentru studenți de toate vârstele, începând cu vârsta de 15 ani în sus. S-a deschis recent programul de studiu online, unde materialul este livrat pe internet

Artemis Health Institute (AHI), at Gurgaon is a NABH Accredited, 300-bed tertiary care super-specialty flagship hospital established by Artemis Health Sciences (AHS) – a healthcare venture launched by the promoters of the Apollo Tyres Group. Artemis aims at creating an integrated world-class healthcare system by leveraging the best medical practices backed by cutting-edge technology. The super-specialties chosen by Artemis as its area of focus include Cardiovascular (Heart), Oncology (Cancer), Orthopedics & Joint Replacements, Neurosciences and Bariatric & Minimally Invasive Surgery in addition to host of other specialties.
Valvular Heart Disease – Heart valves can be abnormally formed at birth or damaged by rheumatic fever or bacterial infection. Valves also can degenerate with the normal aging process.
Congenital Heart Disease – Some people are born with problems that may affect the heart and major blood vessels. Corrective surgery may occur in childhood or postponed until adulthood.
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms – An aneurysm is a saclike bulging that can develop on the wall of a blood vessel. This bulging can become life threatening if not treated. The treatment options include stenting and open surgery.
In order to diagnose and determine the treatment for a particular heart disease, the doctor obtains a complete medical history, performs a thorough physical exam and orders special diagnostic tests.
Major types of cardiac surgeries include coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), heart valve surgery, minimally invasive surgical procedures, transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR), congenital repairs and thoracic aortic aneurysm repair.
When the patient's chest is opened and surgery is performed on the heart. The term "open" refers to the chest, not to the heart itself. The heart may or may not be opened depending on the particular type of surgery.
In open heart surgery a heart-lung machine is sometimes used to support the patient's circulation while the surgeon opens the chest and makes changes to the heart or the arteries on the surface of the heart. There are a variety of types of open-heart surgeries depending on the condition being treated and the overall health of the patient.
The main types of arterial diseases are occlusive and aneurysmal disease (ballooning of the arteries). Occlusive disease is narrowing of the arteries like in the heart which can happen anywhere in the body but people are aware of the symptoms if it happens in the legs or in the tummy (can lead to ulcers or gangrene) or in the neck arteries (which can lead to a stroke).
Peripheral vascular disease affects smokers and also patients who have undergone coronary stenting or bypass surgery.
A large proportion of people with decade-long diabetes develop vascular problems. In a country where more than four crore people are estimated to have diabetes, the number of people estimated to have vascular problems is large. A diabetic patient is at a greater risk of lower limb amputation than the general population, a lot of them can be prevented with the involvement of a vascular surgeon.
We will be offering basic and advanced screening for vascular diseases at the Artemis Health Institute.
The prevalence of venous disease has been under estimated. A clot in the deep veins if it travels to the lungs can cause sudden death. Individuals are predisposed to forming clots if blood lacks few proteins which can keep the it fluid. It can also be caused if the patient is immobilized or if the lining of the vessels are damaged. Unilateral painful calf swelling must be taken seriously.
Varicose veins (dilated and tortuous veins) are also a common problem, if untreated can lead to skin changes, itching and ulcers.
Treatment for lymphatic disease (swelling of the legs) is mainly conservative.
The ENT Department at Artemis offers a comprehensive list of diagnostic and therapeutic options, all under one roof. A detailed evaluation is first undertaken by a team comprising of ENT Surgeons and Audiologists.
Based on the diagnosis and extent of hearing loss, all options from simple prescription of medicines to hearing restoration devices to complex surgery such as cochlear implants are discussed where relevant. Where possible, patient is given a free trial of hearing aids or Baha implants to ensure patient satisfaction.
Patient makes the final choice based on individual profile and needs. Post treatment rehabilitation is undertaken to achieve maximum benefit.
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SURGERY AND TRAUMA General Surgery is a wide field of surgery and the General Surgeon maintains a Holistic view of the surgical ailments. He is better equipped to visualize the patient as a whole rather than have a tubular vision. A general Surgeon is professionally in a much better position than other surgeons, in situations where the patient has more than one system involvement with overlap between specialties.
General Surgery is a concept which has ably withstood the onslaught of compartmentalization since it provides the necessary bridge between different sub-specialties of surgery.
General surgery includes conventional open surgery as well as Laparoscopic surgery. These two approaches are used, complementary to each other, in the best interests of the patient.
Trauma is a very important field tackled by General Surgeons. This requires 'prompt actions with broad outlook'. The general surgeon provides most of the management and wherever required, he takes the help of other specialists. Besides resuscitation & observation of the injured patient, he provides the definitive management in such patients.

Insertion of artificial discs for cervical disc herniation and/or degeneration.
Treatment of Posterior Decompression of the cervical vertebrae.
Posterior Fusion of the cervical vertebrae.
THORACIC SPINE Discectomy – A portion of the disc is removed from the spine to release the pressure on the nerve.
Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty for fracture – This is a minimally invasive treatment in which orthopaedic balloons are used to gently elevate the fractured vertebrae in an attempt to return it to the correct position.
LUMBAR SPINE Microdiscectomy (minimally invasive spine procedure) – This is an operation on the lumbar spine that is performed using a very small incision and removes only the portion of the ruptured disc that is pinching the spinal nerve causing pain.The surgery is performed under operating microscope.
Decompressive Laminectomy with or without fusion and/or instrumentation – This surgery is done to treat spinal stenosis and relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves. Laminectomy removes bone and/or thickened tissue that is narrowing the spinal canal and squeezing the spinal cord and nerves. Sometime along with it foraminotomy is performed to relieve the pressure on exiting nerve root. This procedure is done by surgically cutting into the back.
Posterior and Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion – In this procedure, the surgeon joins (fuses) two lumbar vertebrae. This helps stabilize the vertebrae in this part of the spine.
PAIN Spinal Cord Stimulator – This a treatment used for chronic pain. A small stimulator sends signals to your spinal cord to keep the pain messages from being sent to your brain.
PERIPHERAL NERVE Carpal Tunnel Release – Carpal tunnel release is surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, which is pain and weakness in the hand caused by pressure on the median nerve at the wrist.

Peripheral nerve trauma surgery. With the help of nerve stimulator the pathological area is found out and treated accordingly sometimes with nerve grafting. The finest suture material which is even thinner than a hair is used.
Perpheral nerve sheath tumor. Removal of tumor from a peripheral nerve is sometimes challenging. Goal is total removal of the tumor without altering the normal function of the nerve. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Malignant tumor is managed with the helped of Experienced Oncologists.
Pediatric Disease Tumors – Common pediatric tumor like medulloblastoma, craniopharyngioma or Astrocytoma are always challenging. Surgical removal is followed by treatment by a multidisciplinary team.
Tethered Cord – In this surgery under microscope the tethering of the spinal cord is removed allowing normal growth of the spinal cord restoring function of the limbs.

Der Hof von Holland an der Altestadt 17 Ecke Liefergasse in Düsseldorf war ein Hof, "in dem jahrzehntelang die Großen der Welt einschließlich der Fürsten und Könige abgestiegen waren". Der Hof von Holland war im 18. Jahrhundert der "vornehmste Gasthof in Düsseldorf." Der Hof besteht nicht mehr.

Geschichte
1691 verkaufte es Freifrau von Virmund zu Neersen an den Lic. juris Adam Esch und seine Frau Helena Morn; die Juffer Esch verpachtete es 1714 an Freiherrn Degenhard Bertram von Spee, auf 12 Jahre. Danach hieß es Hof von Holland und gehörte den Eheleuten Coustol. Diese verpfändeten es im Jahre 1786.

Nach Heinrich Ferber: Historische Wanderung durch die alte Stadt Düsseldorf. und Hans Müller-Schlösser wurde der Hof insbesondere durch seine hohen Gäste bekannt. Es "beherbergte die vornehmsten Personen, sogar Kaiser und Könige sind dort abgestiegen."

Darüber berichteten die Jülich-Bergischen wöchentlichen Nachrichten. 1780 wohnte hier dreimal der König von Schweden.

Am 23. Juli 1780 passierte der König von Schweden zum zweiten Mal die Stadt. Von Paris kommend, gelangte er am Abend in den Hof von Holland und speiste dort und fuhr um 11 Uhr nach Schweden zurück. Am 13. Juni 1791 kam er zum Hof, wo er unter dem Namen eines Grafen von Haga hier durch nach Aachen reiste.

Kaiser Paul von Russland wohnte hier am 25. Juli 1782, um die Gemäldegalerie Düsseldorf zu besuchen.

Am 5. Mai 1784 passierte Erzherzog Maximilian, Kurfürst von Köln, auf dem Weg nach Münster die Stadt Düsseldorf. Am 21. Mai 1784 kehrte er auf seiner Rückkehr unter den Namen eines Grafen von Stromberg im Hof von Holland ein um die Sehenswürdigkeiten Düsseldorfs (Gemäldegalerie und Residenzschloss) zu besichtigen:

Am 29. Dezember 1785 besuchte der Erzherzog Maximilian, Kurfürst von Köln erneut den Hof von Holland:

Die wöchentlichen Nachrichten berichteten, dass am 11. Juni 1784 der Prinz von Hessen-Kassel im Gasthof übernachtete.

Andere bekannte Gäste waren der Kurfürst von Trier, die Fürstin von Essen und Thorn, Prinz Xaver von Sachsen, Graf und Gräfin von Sachsen, Graf und Gräfin von Artois K. H., die Prinzessin von Nassau, der Fürstbischof von Lüttich, Graf von Hoensbroech, der Erzbischof von Rheims, Herzog von Guise, Statthalter des Kurfürsten Karl Theodor, und schließlich der Herzog Wilhelm in Bayern im Jahre 1803. 1806 wurde der Gasthof geschlossen. Der Hof wurde nun von zwei Witwen, Reichsgräfinnen von Hatzfeldt, die jüngere mit ihrem Söhnchen, bezogen. Das Gebäude wurde danach unter dem Posthalter Gerlach Posthalterei. Auch 1817 befand sich dort noch die Posthalterei, obwohl die Ober-Posthalterei unter Maurenbrecher in der Benrather Straße etabliert worden war. Im 19. Jahrhundert gehörte der Hof dem oft genannten Rentner von Bouverot.

Namensgleiche Gebäude
Geschichtsträchtige Hotels gleichen Namens existierten unter anderem auch in Emmerich (1650 bis 1944), Remagen und heute noch in Bonn.

Els prínceps i després maliks de Lori-Somkhètia, foren una sèrie de nobles de diversos llinatges que van controlar des de l'inici del  fins a final del  territoris de l'Armènia històrica (el regne de Lori al nord-est) sota la sobirania generalment dels reis de Geòrgia.

Origines
En ocasió de la contraofensiva victoriosa contra les forces de Shah Armin en el que és anomenat la "croada georgiana", l'exèrcit georgià va ocupar de manera temporal sota David IV de Geòrgia i després de manera permanent sota Jordi III de Geòrgia una part dels antics regnes bagràtides armenis, especialment el regne de Lori. Això va permetre als bagràtides de Geòrgia d'agafar el títol de "Rei d'Armènia" que van afegir als títols que ja tenien; el territori fou concedit en feu a nobles sota el nom de principat de « Lori-Somkhètia», és a dir de Lori-Armènia («Somkhètia (სომხეთი)» significa «Armenia» en georgià, que fou incorporat a l'anomenada Armènia Zacàrida

Quan va desaparèixer l'Armènia Zacàrida, el principat de «Lori-Somkhètia» fou controlat per dinastes armenis de la família dels Avanian, que Cyril Toumanoff esmenta com a «Haykides-Avànides», prínceps de Dizak i de Varanda, sorgits de la casa de prínceps de Khatchen.

Q: How to avoid '\n' and '\t' escaping sequence when string is assigned to a variable I was wring a code to convert "\" in paths to "/" because "/" is what python uses.
However, when I was testing this super simple code, path like "C:\Users\Client\tests\doc_test_hard.docx" was converted to "C:/Users/Client/  ests/doc_test_hard.docx" because "/t" means 6 spaces.
I guess I will have same problem when my path has "\new_file" because \n means next line.
How do I tell python "/test" means "/test" instead of six spaces + "est"?

A: You can define the string as raw string, by prepending r to it, then the \ are not treated as escape characters. Example -
>>> s = r'C:\Users\Client\tests\doc_test_hard.docx'
>>> s
'C:\\Users\\Client\\tests\\doc_test_hard.docx'

After this, your replace should work -
>>> s.replace('\\','/')
'C:/Users/Client/tests/doc_test_hard.docx'

Though you actually may not need to do this, python should be able to handle the correct path separator for the os. If you are creating paths in your program, you should use os.path.join() , that would handle the path separators for you correctly.

A: You can normalise path using os.path.normpath(). It can deal with \ and / and relative paths. And you don't have to change \ to / manually.
>>> p = os.path.normpath('C:\\directory/./file.ext')
>>> p
'C:\\directory\\file.ext'
>>> print p
C:\directory\file.ext


(WRN) -- An increase in the state gasoline tax just can't gain any traction, according to Marquette Law School Poll director Charles Franklin. "People still don't want to raise the gas tax," Franklin said Wednesday. The percentage of poll respondents who favor keeping the state tax on gas where it is has actually increased since the last poll in January, to 57 percent. Governor Tony Evers has proposed an increase of nearly 9 cents a gallon to fund state roads and highways.

Ein Psalmodikon (auch Psalmodicon, Salmodikon) ist ein Saiteninstrument (Chordophon nach der Hornbostel-Sachs-Systematik) welches seinen Ursprung und den skandinavischen Ländern Norwegen, Schweden und Finnland hat. Es wurde vorrangig für geistliche Musik verwendet und profanen Instrumenten wie Geige und Blasinstrumenten vorgezogen.

Das Instrument galt als einfach und billig herstellbar und war leicht erlernbar.

Die Erfindung wird meist dem Pastor Johan Dillner (1785–1862) zugeordnet, was aber von vielen Stellen angezweifelt wird. Unstrittig ist, dass Dillner sehr zur Verbreitung des Instruments beitrug und sehr viel Literatur dazu verfasste.

Aufbau

Auf einem  kastenförmigen unten offenen Resonanzkörper (meist einfache Bretter) wurde über einen Steg (Saiteninstrument) und einen Sattel (Saiteninstrument) mit einer einfachen Mechanik eine Saite aus Schnur, Darm oder Stahl gespannt.

Unterhalb der Saite befand sich ein Art "Griffbrett" in Form einer sägezahnförmigen Leiste, die das Greifen von Halbtönen (chromatische Tonstufung) ermöglichte. Üblich waren 20–25 Stufen.

Die Saite konnte gezupft oder mit einem Bogen (Streichinstrument) zum klingen gebracht werden.

Für den praktischen Gebrauch waren die Stufen in dem "Griffbrett" mit Zahlen oder Buchstaben (oft durch aufgeklebtes Papier) bezeichnet, die den Worten eines Liedes (Psalms) zugeordnet waren. So konnte der Spieler ohne Notenkenntnis die dem Text zugeordnete Melodie spielen, erhören und singen.

Neben der ursprünglichen einsaitigen Form waren auch zwei- und dreisaitige Instrumente im Einsatz, die über zusätzliche Resonanzsaiten verfügen konnten.

'Slut-shaming' President Obama's mother can make you a lot of money
Dinesh D'Souza smiles because stupid people get him PAID.
This isn't necessary a gay issue, but someone needs to shout ENOUGH!
An excellent piece in The Daily Beast has caught my eye and raised my nerves because of the following passage:
D'Souza argues that part of the reason Ann Dunham sent Obama to live with her parents in Hawaii was so she could pursue affairs with Indonesian men. "Ann's sexual adventuring may seem a little surprising in view of the fact that she was a large woman who kept getting larger," he writes. On the next page, he continues, "Learning about Ann's sexual adventures in Indonesia, I realized how wrong I had been to consider Barack Obama Sr. the playboy … Ann … was the real playgirl, and despite all her reservations about power, she was using her American background and economic and social power to purchase the romantic attention of third-world men."
The woman in this passage is Ann Dunham, President Obama's mother.
And the man who wrote those unproven and highly ugly comments about her is Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative writer and columnist. That passage came from the most recent entity in his anti-Obama trilogy, Obama's America.
In 2010, he wrote a nonsensical book called The Roots of Obama's Rage, which pushed the hilariously ugly theory that Obama fosters a secret hate of America. Thanks to conservative and right-wing hype, that book was a "success." This year, he published a continuation piece called Obama's America, which is a companion piece for a movie he produced called Obama 2016. Both of these entities, with more help from conservative and right-wing hype, are also successes. However they, like his original book on Obama, have been roundly condemned by mainstream media as crackpot nonsense with a phony intellectual glaze.
Now I try not to allow conservative so-and-so's like D'Souza or Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, and the other assorted denizens (I want to call them worse but it would ruin the integrity of this piece) to bother me.
I don't watch them. If any of them are on my television, I turn the channel.
These folks make a living off of wingnut welfare and think tank money. Their lifeblood is funding by mysterious wealthy individuals with Napoleon complexes and more money than common sense. And their food is resentment and chaos. Every angry American is like $100 in their bank accounts.
But this is going too far. To D'Souza, it's as if Obama is a succulent piece of meat on a dinner table which he has picked clean. However failing to be satiated, D'Souza now seems to be busying himself with breaking the bones of the meat and sucking out the marrow in loud, repulsive slurps.
One has to ask who else in the Obama family will he go after while under the false veneer of "pursuing the truth?"
Of course this is Dinesh D'Souza who makes his money as an "analyst" for various right-wing think tanks such as the Hoover Institution and the American Enterprise Institution. And he is the same man who wrote The End of Racism, a book so outrageous that it offended black conservatives because it claimed that "black culture" was inferior to "white culture," that segregation was misguided paternalism, "based on the code of the Christian and the gentleman" and intended to protect blacks, and that parts of the Civil Rights Act should be repealed.
So why should we be surprised with how low he has stooped here?
Also there is a HIGH degree of Obama Derangement Syndrome out there. The same Daily Beast article says that another film about the president, Dreams from my Real Father, not only pushes a ridiculous theory that Obama's real father was a black communist, but that his mother modeled in 1950s bondage and fetish porn. Allegedly, millions of copies of this film is being sent out to voters in several states including Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Nevada.
So again, why should we be surprised when there seems to be a market out there for lurid beliefs about Obama.
It's understandable that many of us are desensitized to this stuff. In all truthfulness, these videos and D'Souza's books probably won't have any effect on the electorate who should be used to Obama being called everything including the Anti-Christ. At least let's hope not.
But consider this - D'Souza at the very least has been featured on legitimate news program such as CNN hawking his visual and literary firewater without any form of shame.
And all in the name of the false equivalency of supposedly presenting both sides of a "political argument."
When is the media going to dispense with this nonsense and call bullshit for what it is - bullshit. It would be nice to see D'Souza subjected to a moment not unlike the ending of the tale "The Emperor's New Clothes," when all it took was the innocence of a child to break through the pretext of nonsense which was going on.
Would it have hurt for someone with a mainstream news reputation to tell D'Souza the equivalent of the statement, "you know you are so full of shit, right?" (Editor's note - in all honesty, HBO host Bill Maher did actually do this but it really didn't resonate in the media like it would have if someone like Soledad O'Brien had done it)
I honestly feel embarrassed by asking this question but how does it feel to be members of the most powerful nation in the world and instead of discussing the pertinent issues which confront us, being forced to listen to idiots push ludicrous theories on whether or not the president's mother was either an overweight slut or a freak who engaged in fetish porn?
If you don't feel a little ashamed at this, then check your pulse because you may be dead.
EXTRA: It has been pointed out by Rational Wiki the distortion techniques used by D'Souza.
D'Souza has an aggressive and rhetorical speaking and debating style, which makes him sound forceful and convincing. He uses the Gish Gallop frequently and effectively, rebuffing his opponent for not addressing every point he makes.
He frequently employs caricatures and strawmen of atheist positions. He presents these positions so as to make them sound whimsical or silly, while presenting his own statements with an air of utmost gravity, no matter how lunatic or far-fetched they may be.
He is a big fan of quote mining. Not content with simply taking his opponent's statements out of context, he will take a quote about a topic completely unrelated to the one under discussion and re-frame it to make it sound as if his opponent is uninformed or delusional.
A main weapon in his debating arsenal is the emotional appeal, where he paint his opponent's position as false because some of its implications may be distasteful to certain members of the audience.
He enjoys painting his opponents as vicious critics of innocuous policies and events, and himself as a paragon of intellectual virtue. While not going as far as character assassination (at least not in a face-to-face debate), he does subtly attack the character of his opponent.
He often says that an assertion by his opponent, or even the opponent's entire position, is invalid because it is not intuitively or obviously true. He paints this as a "common sense" argument, where he calls upon the audience to evaluate an assertion using their own intuition. In reality, this is a denial of the obvious fact that many things are counterintuitive and require expertise beyond the experience of the average person (but don't take our word for it; ask your neighbor about quantum mechanics or the economics of sub-Saharan Africa). This is a particularly effective tactic, as it shifts audience opinion to his side.
Thanks to his wide repertoire of tactics, he rarely is forced to allow a point by his opponent to pass unchallenged. This projects the illusion of competence, whereas most of his rebuttals are intellectually dishonest and completely invalid.
When all else fails, he will spout outright lies and half truths, pulling facts and statistics out of thin air to give his argument some credibility. This amounts to an argument from authority, which he seems to derive from his public "reputation" as a political commentator, academic and writer.
Lately, he appears to carry around a sizable library of books to debates, frequently flashing them at his opponent and at the audience, while stating that they completely prove his own, or disprove his opponent's points. These are usually self published works by fringe lunatics (which are not worth the toilet paper they are printed on). This is argument from authority on steroids, since no one except him has read the book. Therefore, his opponent cannot call him out on it, and is forced to let the point go without comment.

Megawati Sukarnoputri mĕg˝əwä´tē so͝okär˝nōpo͞o´trē [key], 1947–, Indonesian political leader, president of Indonesia (2001–4). The daughter of former president Sukarno , she is seen by many as her father's political heir. Megawati entered politics in 1987 as a candidate of the Indonesian Democratic party (PDI) and served in parliament for 10 years. She was elected head of the PDI for a five-year term in 1993 but was removed in 1996, at which time she formed the Indonesia Democratic party of Struggle (PDI-P). Her party won a plurality in the 1999 parliamentary elections, and she ran unsuccessfully for president the same year; she was later chosen as vice president under Abdurrahman Wahid . Wahid encountered numerous problems as president of a resurgent democracy, and in mid-2000 he turned the administration of everyday operations over to her. When the parliament voted the following year to remove Wahid from office, she was chosen as president. She subsequently (2004) failed to win election to the office at the polls, losing to former general Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ; she lost to him again in 2009. In 2014 she chose not to run; the PDI-P instead fielded Joko Widodo, a popular anticorruption governor.


Tomb Raider: Chronicles is the fifth game in the Tomb Raider series and a sequel to Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. It was released, among other platforms, for the Sega Dreamcast.
Being tied to a yearly schedule of producing Tomb Raider games, Tomb Raider: Chronicles recycles the engine seen in The Last Revelation, once again only making limited changes due to the strict development schedule. This would, however, be the last Tomb Raider game to use the engine dating back to the original Tomb Raider in 1996, as developers Core Design would employ a new engine for the PlayStation 2 sequel, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
As Lara Croft is presumed dead after the events of The Last Revelation, Chronicles features four scenarios from Lara's past, which although are considered canon, are not directly tied to an overarching main plot like in the previous games. Much of Chronicles is reportedly made up of cut content and ideas from earlier Tomb Raider games.
Chronicles adds hand-to-hand combat and stealth elements to the formula, tightropes and grabbing and swinging on horizontal bars, though at its heart retains the same core gameplay as previous entries in the series. Also included is a grappling gun.
Members of Core Design have gone on record about their distaste for Chronicles, having attempted to kill off Lara at the end of The Last Revelation due to creative fatigue.

"Human remains" case highlights abortion law inconsistencies
By Sarah Terzo | November 20, 2013 , 09:14pm
In 2009, Christian author Randy Alcorn updated his book "Pro-life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments" Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments is a powerful pro-life tool which provides answers to the most common pro-choice slogans and arguments. The book is full of facts. I wanted to share the following story, on page 97.
"A pro-life speaker was detained by police for carrying with him the preserved body of an aborted baby. He was told it was illegal to transport human remains across state lines without special permission. When he realized that this meant the state would have to argue in court that the bodies of aborted babies are in fact human remains, he welcomed prosecution! The state dropped the charges. Though they knew these were human remains, how could a state the defends and funds abortions publicly admit – much less attempt to prove – that abortion kills human beings?"
Leaving aside the question of whether the use of preserved bodies of abortion victims to promote the pro-life message is appropriate, it is very interesting that police would detain this activist and charge him not with transporting "medical waste," or "human tissue," but with transporting "human remains."
Can you imagine what would've happened had the charges gone to trial? Obviously, the (presumed) pro-choicers behind the accusation realized how counterproductive such a trial would be. It would have revealed that pro-choicers really do know that unborn babies are people, not simply "products of conception."
The government has a very contradictory set of laws about abortion. On the one hand, abortion is legal, and thousands are done every day. Yet when a woman is assaulted and her unborn baby killed, the assailant can be charged with "fetal homicide." In one recent case, a 21-year-old Kentucky man was charged with attempted homicide after kicking and beating his pregnant girlfriend. In Minnesota, a man who killed his pregnant wife and is being charged with the death of both her and her unborn child claims that the murder of the unborn child was a case of abortion, not murder. There have been many other cases.
Despite the fact that pro-choicers have been claiming that an unborn baby is not a human being for over 40 years now, many people intuitively know that humans become pregnant with humans, not cats or horses or something else, and that aborted babies are not just "tissue." Situations like the one documented by Randy Alcorn show that the pro-life message is getting across even to the people who most support abortion.


Also you might spot our newly painted studio lurking as a backdrop here. The orange pine has gone - remember here? We need to have a bit of a tidy and a sort then we'll take some sneaky photos or if you just can't wait we're now available on twitter/pinterest/instagram! Oh yes. Hello twenty-first century.
Hello 2012! A tad belated but hey ho and would you expect anything less from us disorganised folk?!
We had a lovely festive break and New Year's although it seemed to absolutely fly past and already feels like an age ago. Since then though we've been manically preparing for the imminent arrival of R&M baby number two which has involved some shuffling around of living/working spaces, lots of redecorating and I may even be forced to part with my ridiculous collection of magazines to make space. Boo.
Speaking of magazines though we did somehow manage to squeeze in this interview for Mollie Makes just before Christmas and the issue landed on our doormat a few days ago - we're in print! We were so thrilled to be asked to take part and then we find we're amongst some of our favourite other creative couples to boot! We've been huge fans of Something's Hiding In Here for years, remember this, we love the work of Peris & Corr too and we met the lovely Andrea and Robert when we took part in the first UK Got Craft? market last month.
We've also just been interviewed for the ukhandmade website today too - see we do get around just not so much on our own blog!

AC Milan striker Nikola Kalinic has passed his Atletico Madrid medical ahead of a move to the Los Rojiblancos.
Kalinic had landed in Madrid at about 9:30 in the morning earlier today after agreement about the transfer were reached yesterday. The fee is expected to lie in the region of 15 million euros and it is a permanent deal, instead of being a previously reported initial loan deal.
Kalinic has now passed his Atleti medical and an announcement from the club is expected later today.

When I run the app, I have an error: "Windows can't found file 'lobalizarion\Sorting\sortdefaults.nls'".. And in the console I have message: "File was not found", but I have it on my drive.
In my code I'm using snippet from: How to get hWnd of window opened by ShellExecuteEx.. hProcess? to get HWND of created HINSTANCE.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

std::wstring stringToLPCTSTR(const std::string& s)
{
    int len;
    int slength = (int)s.length() + 1;
    len = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, s.c_str(), slength, 0, 0);
    wchar_t* buf = new wchar_t[len];
    MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, s.c_str(), slength, buf, len);
    std::wstring r(buf);
    delete[] buf;
    return r;
}

struct ProcessWindowsInfo
{
    DWORD ProcessID;
    std::vector<HWND> Windows;

    ProcessWindowsInfo(DWORD const AProcessID) : ProcessID(AProcessID) {}
};

BOOL __stdcall EnumProcessWindowsProc(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
    ProcessWindowsInfo *Info = reinterpret_cast<ProcessWindowsInfo*>(lParam);
    DWORD WindowProcessID;

    GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &WindowProcessID);

    if (WindowProcessID == Info->ProcessID)
        Info->Windows.push_back(hwnd);

    return true;
}

int main()
{
    SHELLEXECUTEINFOW sei;

    sei.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
    sei.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
    sei.hwnd = NULL;
    sei.lpVerb = stringToLPCTSTR("open").c_str();
    sei.lpFile = stringToLPCTSTR("D:\\file.txt").c_str();
    sei.lpParameters = NULL;
    sei.lpDirectory = stringToLPCTSTR("D:\\").c_str();;
    sei.nShow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
    sei.hInstApp = NULL;

    auto retval = ShellExecuteEx(&sei);

    if (retval == 0) //check errors
    {
        if ((int)sei.hInstApp == SE_ERR_FNF)
            std::cerr << "File was not found\n";
        else
            std::cerr << "Unexpected error occured\n";
    }
    else
    {
        WaitForInputIdle(sei.hProcess, INFINITE);

        ProcessWindowsInfo info(GetProcessId(sei.hProcess));

        EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)EnumProcessWindowsProc, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(&info));
    }

    std::cin.get();

    return 0;
}

A: The std::wstring returned by stringToLPCTSTR() are temporaries which you use to assign the LPCTSTR members of the struct SHELLEXECUTEINFOW. This means the pointer returned by the respective calls to c_str() may no longer be valid at the time you call ShellExecuteEx(). You need to find a different solution for this, e.g. by using local variables for the std::wstring, but as long as you are only using string literals, you can just do
sei.lpVerb = L"open";
sei.lpFile = L"D:\\file.txt";
sei.lpDirectory = L"D:\\";
