Q: How to retrieve value from nested struct I was creating the application to retrieve data from my Facebook page using FQL.
The fql query is:
select id, text, attachment.media.image.src FROM comment
where post_id IN (SELECT post_id from stream where
                  source_id = "mypageid" AND  actor_id = "mypageid" LIMIT 100)

I got the value for ID and TEXT by using this way:
public class MyComments
{
    public string id { get; set; } // this is comment id
    public string text { get; set; } // this is the comment
}

List<MyComments> q = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<MyComments>>
                                                     (results.data.ToString());
if (q.Count != 0)
{
    post_id = q[0].id.ToString();
    post_text = q[0].text.ToString();
}

But how to get the value for SRC, because it is struct in struct attachment > in struct media > in struct image > string src.
Is there a possible way to get value for string SRC? in c# code?
Please guys, Thanks in advance.

A: I haven't played with FQL, but JSON is easy enough to deal with.
The first thing to do is to examine the JSON object returned by the FQL and see if it has nested structure objects in it or not.  Assuming that it does, you will need to create a class for each nested object.
Let's assume you have a JSON structure similar to this:
[{
    "id": "<comment id>",
    "text": "<comment text>",
    "attachment": {
        "media": {
            "image": {
                src: "<image source string>"
            }
        }
    }
}, {
    ...
}]

In order to unpack that into a C# class you'll need a class for each level: attachment -> media -> image:
public class MyComments
{
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string text { get; set; }
    public Attachment attachment { get; set; }

    public class Attachment
    {
        public Media media { get; set; }
    }

    public class Media
    {
        public Image image { get; set; }
    }

    public class Image
    {
        public string src { get; set; }
    }
}

Of course if you have a use for those classes outside of the single response you can un-nest them and add any other fields you might use.  I find it simpler to use this way, since everything is encapsulated within the result record class.
Once you've deserialized the response from FQL you should be able to access the src item with (in your code above):
post_src = q[0].attachment.media.image.src;

Just be careful that the JSON matches the structure you've laid out for it, or you will get some deserialization errors.  Watch for arrays especially - they can mess you up unless you're ready for them.

Edit: [removed section on Arrays since it doesn't fit your actual use-case]

Here's a set of classes that will deserialize the JSON you posted on PasteBin:
public class MyComments
{
    public string post_id;
    public string message;
    public Attachment attachment;

    public class Attachment
    {
        public Media[] media;
    }

    public class Media
    {
        public string href;
        public string alt;
        public string type;
        public string src;
        public Photo photo;
    }

    public class Photo
    {
        public string aid;
        public string pid;
        public string fbid;
        public string owner;
        public int index;
        public int width;
        public int height;
        public Image[] images;
    }

    public class Image
    {
        public string src;
        public int width;
        public int height;
    }
}

Tested against the posted JSON:
MyComments comment = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyComments>(jsrc);
Console.WriteLine("Source: {0}", comment.attachment.media[0].photo.images[0].src);

Output:
Source: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/t1.0-9/s720x720/10288743_852243528123890_8104585654908358176_n.jpg

Just be aware that the arrays can be empty, so the above could fail with IndexOutOfRangeException.  Always test the Length of your arrays before indexing them.
I'd write some code in the MyComments.Photo class to find the image that matches your criteria - largest dimensions, for instance.  Something like this:
public Image LargestImage()
{
    return images.OrderByDescending(i => i.width).ThenByDescending(i => i.height).FirstOrDefault();
}

Then you can always get the largest image, regardless of what order the images are supplied in, or null if the image list is empty:
var img = comment.attachment.media[0].photo.LargestImage();
if (img != null)
    Console.WriteLine("Source: {0}", img.src);

For a list of the sources of the largest image for all media attached to the comment:
var q =
    (
        from m in comment.attachment.media
        let img = m.photo.LargestImage()
        where img != null
        select img.src
    ).ToList();

Or without the LargestImage method:
var q =
    (
        from m in comment.attachment.media
        let img = m.photo.images
            .OrderByDescending(i => i.width)
            .ThenByDescending(i => i.height)
            .FirstOrDefault()
        where img != null
        select img.src
    ).ToList();

Works even if no images entries could be parsed out of the JSON for whatever reason.

The Santee Sioux is opening the nation's first cannabis resort on its reservation in South Dakota. The experiment could offer a new money-making model for tribes nationwide seeking economic opportunities beyond casinos. Santee Sioux leaders plan to grow their own cannabis and sell it in a smoking lounge that includes a nightclub, arcade games, bar and food service, and eventually, slot machines and an outdoor music venue.
"We want it to be an adult playground," tribal President Anthony Reider said. "There's nowhere else in American that has something like this."
The project, according to the tribe, could generate up to $2 million a month in profit, and work is already underway on the growing facility. The first cannabis cigarettes are expected to go on sale Dec. 31 at a New Year's Eve party.
The legalisation of cannabis on the Santee Sioux land came in June, months after the Justice Department outlined a new policy that allows Indian tribes to grow and sell cannabis under the same conditions as some states.
"The vast majority of tribes have little to no economic opportunity," said Blake Trueblood, business development director at the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development. For those tribes, "this is something that you might look at and say, 'We've got to do something.'"
A cannabis resort open to the public has never been tried in the U.S. Even in states such as Colorado and Washington, where pot is fully legal, consumption in public places is generally forbidden, although pro-pot activists are seeking to loosen those restrictions. Colorado tolerates a handful of private cannabis clubs.
The Santee Sioux hope to use pot in the same way that many tribes rely on casinos " to make money for community services and to provide a monthly income to tribal members. The existing enterprises support family homes, a senior living community, a clinic and a community center offering afterschool programs.
Reider hopes cannabis profits can fund more housing, an addiction treatment center and an overhaul of the clinic.
The prosperity that cannabis could bring to Indian Country comes with huge caveats. The drug remains illegal under federal law, and only Congress can change its status. The administration that moves into the White House in 2017 could overturn the Justice Department's decision that made cannabis cultivation possible on tribal lands.

Return To WorldSBK Racing For Rea and Kawasaki At Portimao.
The long summer break for the 2018 FIM Superbike World Championship comes to an end this weekend when the action resumes with round 10 at the Autodromo Internacional do Algrave in Portugal. Jonathan Rea goes into the weekend holding a 92 point advantage over his rivals as the season heads towards it's conclusion.
Whilst WorldSBK competition has seen a particularly long hiatus, Rea himself has not been sidelined for the ten week period. In July he partnered Leon Halsam and Kazuma Watanabe on the Team Green Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, taking a podium finish at the Suzuka 8Hr race. In August he was back on his WorldSBK Ninja ZX-10RR testing at Portimao in preparation for this weekend's race.
The current focus for Jonathan and the KRT squad is on the final four rounds of the 2018 championship but the break also provided him with a look forward to next year. Rea took part in the recent world media launch of the 2019 Ninja ZX-10 range at Autopolis in Japan, and was able to ride the ZX-10RR road machine that will form the basis of the WorldSBK challenger he will race next year.
The upcoming race at the weekend represents a significant landmark in Rea's career. It is ten years since he had his debut in the Superbike class at Portimao and since then he has gone on to set an all time record of 64 WorldSBK race wins, 49 of which have been for Kawasaki, and taken three consecutive world championship titles in the last three years.
The Portimao circuit itself is a modern classic, with an intensely undulating 4.592km layout and several blind sections where track knowledge and confidence are vital. Jonathan comes to this round with an enviable record at the Algarve circuit having won the last five Superbike races that have taken place. He and the KRT squad can therefore afford a degree of confidence having also set the best lap times at the recent official WorldSBK test.
First free practice will start at the usual time of 09:45 (GMT +1) on Friday morning and Superpole Qualifying will begin at 10:30 on Saturday. Race times will, however, be slightly different this weekend. Saturday's race one will be run off at the regular 13:00 time but race two will start at 15:15 on Sunday, being the last track action of the day.
Jonathan Rea, stated: "I am very excited to go back to Portimao because it is a circuit that I really enjoy. It has been a really long summer break so the test at Portimao a few weeks ago really helped to whet my appetite to get back. We worked on a range of different chassis items and also some Pirelli tyres but the real work will start this weekend when we look to get the set-up of the Ninja ZX-10RR dialled in for the circuit conditions, and then try to do the best job we can. There is a lot of support coming from back home and I am really excited about that. The target is clear - to try and win two races."

Pipeline Inventory vs. Decoupling Inventory
by Gerald Hanks
Pipeline inventory and decoupling inventory allow for more accurate inventory counts.

2 Normal Distribution Uses for Inventory Forecasting
3 The "Just-In-Time Method"
4 Add CIF to an Invoice
Inventory is an basic component of any retail or wholesale operation, so inventory management is an essential task. Inventory management includes more than just the items on the shelves. Pipeline inventory consists of items that are in the transit "pipeline" between locations, such as those en route from the warehouse to the retail outlet. Decoupling inventory consists of inventory stock retained to make the independent control of two successive operations possible.
Functions of Pipeline Inventory
Pipeline inventory refers to those products that are in the company's shipping chain that have yet to reach their ultimate destination. While the items are in transit, they are still considered to be part of the shipper's inventory if the recipient has yet to pay for them. When the recipient pays for the items, even if that recipient has not taken physical custody of the items, that pipeline inventory goes on the recipient's inventory list.
Examples of Pipeline Inventory
In many instances, especially with overseas shipments, inventory can remain in the transit pipeline for days or weeks at a time. For instance, a shipment of video game consoles made in Japan can take several days to arrive by container ship to an American port. If the wholesaler has already purchased the consoles, they are part of that wholesaler's inventory until he sells them to his retail store customers. When the retail store purchases the consoles from the wholesaler, the pipeline inventory goes on their records.
Functions of Decoupling Inventory
A "decoupled" inventory consists of inventory stock set aside in the event of a slowdown or stoppage in production. Decoupling inventory cushions the company's inventory against potential issues in the production line. These issues can occur when one part of the production line works at a different speed than another. When this happens, the production line stalls, and products remain unfinished, which reduces the renewal rate of inventory stocks.
Examples of Decoupling Inventory
The manufacturing of video game consoles requires the assembly of several sensitive parts, such as the central processing units, internal hard drives, motherboards and video connection ports. When the processes involved in building the microchips required to power the central processing units slows down, the entire production line grinds to a halt. A decoupled inventory allows the manufacturer to ship its consoles on time while it resolves the issues with the microchips.

Renewables alone won't satisfy California's clean energy ambitions
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) would provide California with 15 percent of the emissions reductions necessary to meet its goal of a carbon-neutral economy in 2045, and it would save the state $750 million in costs for solar generation and grid-scale batteries, according to a new study. The report was released in October by the non-profit Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) and Stanford University. According to the report, 20 million tons of carbon dioxide emitted by 76 large industrial and power-generating emitters in California, could be extracted and stored underground at a profit. To learn more, read "Renewables alone won't satisfy California's clean energy ambitions."
Clean firm power available whenever needed and most likely to come from natural gas, is necessary to smooth out the peaks and valleys that are inherent to wind, solar, and hydroelectric generation, according to EFI.
Transportation accounts for 40 percent of California's greenhouse gas emissions. The need for clean firm power will surge in concert with the growth of electric vehicles as the state moves to phase out gasoline-fueled cars by 2035.
Industry in California is a larger source of emissions than the power sector today, and it has few options available to reduce CO2 apart from CCS. Cement production, for example, requires high temperatures, but only 40 percent of its emissions are from combustion; a larger fraction is process related.
A federal tax credit known as 45Q offers $22 per ton of CO2 that is captured and used for enhanced oil recovery or other end uses, increasing to $35 in 2026 and adjusted for inflation thereafter. The credit is $34 per ton, increasing to $50, for CO2 that is captured and injected to geologic storage.
The research found that ethanol plants, hydrogen producers, and refineries in the state could capture and store CO2 profitably with existing incentives.
Path to 100% Perspective:
The record breaking heat wave that swept across the western part of the country and caused a series of blackouts in the Golden State this summer, offered additional modelling opportunities to demonstrate the most effective mix of energy to accommodate any extreme weather situation and meet clean power mandates. The big challenge facing California and the rest of the world is how to integrate renewables into the grid while building security of supply and a sustainable power system with an affordable plan for everyone involved. The "Optimal Path" includes using power-to-gas (PtG) along with existing and future renewable energy.

Global Tree Mortality
The effects of climate change and drought on forest ecosystems are not confined to the southwestern United States alone or even to the world's arid regions. Other forest ecosystems, which cover some 30% of the world's land surface, may be responding to climate change already. Examples of climate-induced forest mortality can be found for each of the world's six wooded continents: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South and Central America. For example, climate change and variability are reducing tree density and tree species richness in the African Sahel and seasonal droughts have increased background tree mortality rates for tropical forests in South and Central America. As with the Southwest, the increased evidence of global climate-driven tree mortality suggests that world's forest ecosystems may be vulnerable to warmer temperatures in the future and projected increased droughts.

In the context of developing simple websites without using any frameworks, the problem of website's download speed does not seem to be so critical. But if you have an app and don't want to make users with low internet speed, it's important to optimize the application.
All images on the web page should be compressed and optimized with the appropriate tools. In that case the following websites will be quite helpful: for .png follow the page TinyPNG and for .jpg – the page TinyJPG . For to minify .svg images there is a popular command line tool SVGO that you may have a look at the GitHub repository .
And of course, we should not forget about the most popular way to replace the white screen of the loading page with something more pleasant – remember to use loaders.
But what about the SPA? Let's try to consider this case on the example of the Angular application.
Thirdly , delayed loading of images will also work after rendering the component template only where they are used.
Namely, due to the fact that the HTML layout located inside the selector of the root component is visible to the user exactly before the Angular application starts working and renders the root component. Using this, we can arrange the layout of the loader inside the selector "app-root", and its styles – internally in the head of the document. In fact, in addition to the loader inside the selector, we can display anything within the capabilities of the static page. All this increases the volume of the original document loaded and ultimately postpones the launch of the Angular application.
In case you have any questions, feel free to contuct us .

Nurseries and preschools in the United States: Choosing an educational model
[Sponsored content] Are you the parents of an adorable infant, an amazing 3-year-old or maybe even both? No matter your child's age, choosing a childcare program that suits your specific needs is a very challenging and difficult decision.
Understanding the cultural differences
One of the renowned diamonds of the "Ministère de l'Education Nationale" is the famous "Ecole maternelle" whose program is respected all over the world. France cares tremendously about the quality of its early childhood educational program, so much so that they designed a separate training and recruitment for preschool and primary teachers, as opposed to middle school and high school teachers.
In France, children start attending school at the age of two and follow a very structured, very progressive program, designed to fit different age groups, which guarantees the best retention of early learning fundamentals such as language, reading, and numeracy. French public daycares (la crèche) are also committed to a comparable pedagogical goal by preparing children from 2 months to 2 years for their future transition to "Ecole maternelle" (preschool), especially by developing their social skills.
In the United States, the average family takes a different approach. Typically, children start attending school in Kindergarten – 3 years later than French children. While many American children do have full schedules from an early age, it is often with activities chosen by their parents that are more geared towards activities like sports, arts, yoga, music, and gymnastics. It is not uncommon for a nanny to rush a child from one activity to the next all day long keeping, their schedule as busy as a congressman's. In the United States, the approach which tends to focus on the physical and artistic facets of the child's development is often favored as it is believed it will allow them to achieve more than their counterparts as they progress in their academic career.
Considering children's basic needs
Whatever educational system or childcare you choose, American, French, or bilingual, you want to make sure that the fundamental needs of your child's development are being met:
– Physical needs: healthy eating, cleanliness, remaining active
– Intellectual needs: building language and basic early learning skills
– Emotional needs: feeling safe, listened to, welcomed, invited to express oneself through speech and any mode of artistic expression
– Social needs: belonging to a group, building friendships, interacting with peers
Due to the current pandemic, your priorities may have changed. However, be aware that your children's priorities have not changed. Today as ever, children need to be in contact with nature to develop their imagination, to continue experimenting and express their creativity, to continue learning, and above all, children need socialization in order to grow emotionally!
The best of both worlds!
VHG group Inc, early childhood language schools, represent 4 daycares/preschools in Manhattan and (soon!) in Brooklyn: Arc-En-Ciel (2014), Petits Poussins Too (2016), Bilingual Nest (2017), and Petits Poussins Brooklyn (2021). We welcome students ages 3 months to 5 years old. We are located in Manhattan (Upper East Side and West Harlem) and soon in Downtown Brooklyn. Our centers are specifically designed to benefit from the strengths and assets of both educational systems. Our bilingual programs (in French/English or in Spanish/English) combine the principles and curriculum of "Ecole maternelle" and "crèche" with the standards of American pedagogy to offer your children the best educational and stimulating age-appropriate programs. Our curriculum is enriched by numerous stimulating activities led by teachers of music, dance, yoga, and art in both languages! Our preschoolers often go on fieldtrips (community visit, culinary outing, farm visit, museum visits, and more). Indeed, we offer the best of both approaches!
VHG Group Inc. welcomes over 200 students yearly with a team of over 45 staff members. Our schools strictly implement the New York Department of Health -DOH- guidance and recommendations to keep our children and staff safe and healthy. We carefully consider the developmental stages of each age group to stimulate their natural curiosity while respecting their individual rhythms. Our teachers, who come from all over the world, motivate our students and guide them in becoming independent, confident, and caring, all in a bilingual environment and with a strong awareness of social justice.
At VHG Group Inc., we make learning FUN! The well-being, happiness, and bilingual academic development of our students are at the heart of our values.
We continue to welcome, depending on our availability, new students for this academic year (2020/2021), and have also started our admission period for next year (2021/2022).

Quick question for you… What tools or programmes do you use for your consultations these days?
In the old days it was all about the look book (and I must admit that my favourite ever consultations were when Christel Lundqvist used to come out with a furniture book and point at a sofa and say 'I'm thinking that this would really work for you').
More recently, I was having my hair cut and the stylist used Google images on his ipad. It was ok. Some of the short hair wasn't actually short; the pictures weren't all the best quality and I couldn't switch off from the fact they were all so different that it didn't really give us any clarity.
I genuinely believe that every salon team should be using Pinterest to set the vision for their salon and as a handy tool for consultations.
To do Pinterest well, it's a bit of an investment of time, but keeping your boads ticking over is way less demanding than other social media platforms and they're a good resource to showcase your team's tastes and talent – perfect to help clients choose the right stylist for them.
But there's an even better answer: The new HJi Image Gallery, which has been rebuilt to make it the ultimate consultation tool for salons.
I was asked by HJ to work with their developers to bring a new gallery to life and the end result is just what your salon clients need.
If you haven't played with it yet, check it out here.
Yes, there are a gazillion images in it, but what makes it cool is how easy it is to refine the results page so you can only see the images that are relevant to your client.
You can drill down by all the things you'd expect – length, colour, style etc – but if you hit the Advanced Search button there's some more unexpected criteria too including the texture, the parting and the style of photograph (I recommend using the commercial filter with your clients).
It's FREE, looks just as good on the mobile, or tablet as the salon computer of the reception desk and the only the only work you have to do is to select the right tick boxes that match what your client has in mind then help her choose a look that brings out her very best qualities.
Give it a go and impress your clients with your super professional consultations.
Have you got a vision for a website or digital project you'd like to bring to life, but lack the time or knowhow to make it happen? Drop me a line at kate@kordigital.co.uk to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to set you on the right path.

A commercial overhead door, whether it is in Norco, or a commercial garage door in Norco, can some be used more than 3,000 times a year. And to think that such a door doesn't not need a strong and reliable motor, and trying to install a motor which is too small or too weak for the door will be a mistake. It can be easier to try and save money by installing a cheap opener that may work well for few months or even couple of years. But when the motor will stop working, and you will have to contact someone who repair garage doors Norco to come and repair or even replace the motor, you may learn the hard way that it is better to invest in quality, than to buy cheap parts that eventually will cost you more. A commercial motor should be strong, reliable and from a leading and reliable motor manufacture such as Lift master. And when you invest in quality, you will find that the door will open and close whenever you will need it to.If you think about it, your garage door is probably the largest moving object in your house, and as such, it can be dangerous when it is being used in a wrong way. We are used to a garage door which open and close whenever we need it to, and which work in a perfect way. We believe that every garage door should work like that, and with the proper maintenance, there is no reason why it shouldn't. But, and this is the important part about the garage door safety, if there is something wrong with the way your garage door is working, or if your garage door is making strange noises, or if the garage door is not working in the smooth way it used to work, you better contact a garage door company in Norco, to come and inspect the door.Many times, the repair is basic, such a broken sensor, or a garage door which need to be lubricated, but not once, the problem is much more serious such as a broken spring or a snapped cable, and the require a bigger repair, but more important – can be dangerous, and we would like to explain.If your garage door was hit by a car, which can lead to a broken panel or an out of track garage door, we recommend you to avoid trying to use the garage door, and to contact a garage door technician. Even if it seem to you, that all you need to do is to push the garage door back on track, we advise you not to. When a garage door is being hit by a car, it can affect many parts in the garage door mechanism, which can lead to a damage that can only be detected by a trained garage door repairman.If your garage door started making noises whenever you use it, it probably mean that you ignored the need for maintenance, and did not lubricate your garage door for a long time. But it can also mean that there is a bigger damage (such as broken spring, pulley, roller, or any other problem). But although the garage door is making noises just for lack of maintenance, we recommend you to face the problem and contact a garage door contractor which will come and repair it. From our experience, ignoring a problem does not make it go away, but only lead to a bigger problem and a repair which will cost more.We would like to say it clearly: Using a garage door with a broken spring is not safe, and can lead to a bigger damage, but above that, it can be deadly. The garage door spring is the force which make it easy to open the door, and which balance and protect the garage door from crashing when it is closing. When the spring break, the garage door can be too heavy for one spring, which now carrying a double weight, and in case it will also break, there won't be anything to hold the door from crashing into the ground. If your garage door spring broke, no matter if it is a garage door Norco, or a garage door Norco, stop using the garage door, and contact a garage door repairman to come and fix or replace the broken spring.If your garage door is equipped with extension spring system, it should also include safety cables. If you are not sure if there are such cables installed in your springs, go to your garage door and look at the springs. If you do have safety cables installed, you should see a metal wire which is threaded from one side of the spring, and coming out from the other side (do not mistake to think the cables which are connected to the pulleys as safety cables). The safety cables are not essential for the garage door to work properly, but they are essential for a safe use of the garage door. The safety cables are installed in case one of the springs will break, and they will protect the door, the people or any other object in your garage from getting hurt by the broken spring.When it comes to garage door motor safety, the answer is very simple – It is a federal law, that every motorized garage door should include safety feature (such as the safety sensors), which protect objects or people in case the will be located at the door's path while it is moving.If you own an automated garage door, you will notice the safety sensors installed on each side of the garage door, close to the ground. The safety sensors should face each other, and should signal the garage door motor, in case something or someone will be located at the garage door path while it is closing. When something is located at the garage door path, the garage door opener will stop the moving door, and reverse it, and by doing that, it will protect the object from being hit by the garage door.

Our team of experienced garage doors technicians, have successfully performed hundreds of garage doors repair and installation services in Norco and the area, and will be happy to assist you with any garage door problem.One of the parts that can make our life easier, whenever it comes to use and operate a garage door is the garage door motor. The garage door motor give us the option to open and close the garage door automatically, and from distance.Those who does not use an automated garage door, are usually those who doesn't use the garage door often, and probably do not park their car there. But if you do open and close the garage door often, and you never had a new motor installed, you should consider installing a new motor. Just think that every time when you are arriving home with your car, you do not need to get out of the car, open the garage door, get back in the car, park the car, and then close the door… Sound tiring? Well, it is tiring. So what are you waiting for? Stop working hard and enjoy the advantaged of a motorized garage door.There are many garage door motors in the market, so each one can find the right motor for him. From heavy duty chain drive motor, to a ½ H.P belt drive motor, you can find the motor that will make your life easier, by using an automated garage door.The three most common kinds of garage door motors that you can find in the market today are the following: Chain drive motor: This motor is the most common motor you can find today in the American market. Whether it is an automated garage door Norco, or a garage door in Norco, there is a big chance that the garage door is equipped with a chain drive opener, which consider to be one of the most reliable garage door motor you can find today.Belt drive motor: Just like the chain drive motor, but in this kind of opener, instead of the chain drive, you will find a belt drive. This motor is a bit more expensive than the chain drive, but the advantage of it is a silent operation, since the noise of the chain which move along the railis replaced with a rubber belt. Screw drive motor: This opener used to be very popular, but lately you will find less and less from its kind. You should consider purchasing this opener if you are planning to "do it yourself" and you are not sure what exactly to do, since this motor is the easiest to install and program. To read more about the garage door motor, click here for garage door opener Norco, or here, for Lift Master Motors.If you are thinking to install the motor by yourself, or if you are planning to contact a garage door company in Brooklyn, there is one thing you should know and follow, since it is the law: Every motorized garage door, whether it was installed in Norco or it is a garage door Norco,must include a safety feature which will protect the door or an object that cross the door's path while it is closing. Again, this is not an option, it's the law! The most common safety feature you can find in every automated garage door is the safety sensors. The safety sensors are there to protect from the object which cross the door path while the door is closing from being crashed under the garage door, and reverse the closing motor to open the door.The safety sensors must face each other, if one of them was accidently moved, damaged, or the wire which connect it to the motor was cut, the door will not close. You will see the door "trying" to close, and then stop and reverse to open position, followed by the opener light signaling youthat something is wrong. We get many calls from our garage door customers in Norco, which complain that their garage door is not closing. Many time they can repair the problem by themselves but sometime they need us to come and fix it for them.Before we explain about garage door troubleshooting, we would like to make one thing clear: A garage door which isn't working properly, no matter if the reason is a broken motor, a broken spring, or any other garage door issue, and no matter if it is a garage door in Norco or in Norco, should not be used, and should be repaired by a professional garage door contractor.Now that we made the safety part clear, we would like to go over a common problems that we often face during our garage door service in Norco: Many times, it looks like the door is too heavy for the motor, and seem like the motor does not have enough power to open and close the door. Now, it may be possible that the problem is indeed a motor problem, but not once, when we arrive at the customers house, we find that the problem is surprisingly (or not) a broken spring. Now, since the springs are doing most of the garage door lifting job, when one or both springs break, the motor need to do much more lifting, and that what make it seem like the problem is actually a motor problem.

The second stage development of the electric garage door opener system was forced onto the market because too many garage door openers operated on the same radio frequency. To rectify the problem, a more advanced (and more secure) method of opening garage doors was developed. Systems now allowed a garage door owner to preset a "code." This code consisted of about 8 to 10 dip switches on the receiver and corresponding transmitter.

Rem Koolhaas' integrated tube design for transit into the McCormick Tribune Campus Centre at the Illinois Institute of technology is practical, ingenious, and, quiet.
Women on the right, Men on the left. The interior design and fixtures in these utilitarian washroom spaces are as playful as the rest of the building. McCormick Centre is a lively conversation of colour, texture, and form, and reflects Koolhaas' background in writing and journalism.
The 'L' provides context for the commercial centre in downtown Chicago. The Union elevated railway first started operating in 1892, and now provides historic reference for Chicago's skyscrapers. The Loop also contains an awe inspiring collection of world class contemporary public sculpture.

The only clouds in the sky during my recent trip to Chicago reflected in this stunning piece at Millennium Park. How could something so heavy appear so light?
This is the largest piece in her series, measuring 96″ x 288″, and dramatically hung above a huge staircase at the Art Institute of Chicago. The paintings, completed between 1963 and 1965, followed a series of long round the world flights she took in 1960. Like Cloud Gate, the piece is imbued with light, and deeply spiritual.
Check in mid June for my first post on highlights of my trip to Chicago.


(a village near Kramsk), blind for 12 years, who received her sight back after drinking water from the well. There were witnesses of this event. This fact was recognized as the first miraculous healing at the well, which from that time on has been called the Miraculous Little Spring. Later there were next miracles confirmed by testimonies written down in the Book of Mercy.
Today Licheń's Little Spring is not only the well. It is now a kind of a complex of chapels situated next to each other, the well with water taps for drawing water and a small pool for washing feet.
According to the Old Testament physical healing were made through water, e.g. at Bethesda in Jerusalem. When Mother of God appeared to Bernadette n Lourdes, she asked the girl to dig down a little spring. Since then Lourdes has been called "the Shire of the sick", where thousands of people have regain physical and mental health. Water from Lourdes is a symbol of living water given by Christ. Also in Gietrzwałd, Mary blessed a spring – a gift of Heaven to sick and suffering.
Little Spring in Licheń was dug because of practical reason – to give water fit to drink. However there are lots of testimonies of concrete people, who faithfully entrusted themselves to God and experienced the grace of healing by using water from the spring.

National Institutes of Health Announce Influenza Gene Database
By Kevin E. Noonan
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced Wednesday that it had assembled a database of the entire genomic complement of 2,000 human and avian influenza strains that are publicly available from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The information in this database represents flu samples collected worldwide.
The database is the result of the Influenza Genome Sequencing project, started at NIH in 2004. NIAID funded a variety of influenza sequencing efforts by university and private entities, including The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR); Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health in Albany, NY; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta; St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN; the World Organization for Animal Health / Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (OIE/FAO) Reference Laboratory for Newcastle Disease and Avian Influenza in Padova, Italy; The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH; Children's Hospital Boston; Baylor College of Medicine in Houston; and Canterbury Health Laboratories in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The work is not completed: sequencing capacities have grown to more than 200 viral genomes per month and is ongoing. The sequence information is being posted on the GenBank database as it is acquired.
This continued effort is relevant to developing vaccines for influenza, which is characterized by high mutation and recombination rates. This information is particularly useful for developing vaccines to so-called "seasonal" influenza, which kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people worldwide each year. The information also helps determine the appropriate vaccines for the population of influenza virus extant each season and in different parts of the world. The database will be even more important if a pandemic strain arises, such as the Asian "bird flu" of recent years, since pandemics can cause much more widespread mortality - an estimated 40-60 million people died in the 1918 pandemic.

In an anaerobic environment, some bacteria utilize chlorinated compounds as alternate electron acceptors for respiration through the process of reductive dechlorination. Through their respiratory process, bacteria sequentially replace chlorine with hydrogen. The biochemical reactions for complete dehalogenation of TCE through ethene are well documented.
Reductive dechlorination reactions for TCE occurs on a 1:1 molar basis (ie. one mole of TCE will be converted to one mole of cis-DCE and so on).
BioRemedial has demonstrated enhanced anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated solvents in situ. A brief description of a recent successful field deployment of BioRemedial technology at a site with soil and groundwater impacted with chlorinated solvents in Western Pennsylvania follows. Historic site data showed consistent levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) occurring in groundwater. Pump and treat systems were installed over a 10-year span in attempts to remediate the contaminant. This approach proved extremely ineffective as TCE concentration showed very little movement over the same span. To enhance the reductive dechlorination process that was determined to be suitable by BioRemedial analysis, site-specific amendments needed to be introduced to the contaminated media. Addition of the hydrogen donating substrate, along with site-specific nutrients, provided the hydrogen necessary for dechlorination of the solvents, thereby enhancing the remediation process on site.
The site has shown a clear decrease in TCE concentrations, with concomitant increases in both DCE and VC concentrations, significantly higher than any historical concentrations, followed by a decrease in both DCE and VC to drinking water standards. After nine months of remediation, BioRemedial showed degradation of all chlorinated compounds, including daughter products to below detection limits.

Introduction to Dahesh Voice Vol. 7 № 2 , Autumn 2001
Western Rationality and Eastern Spirituality
Think of the East, and what immediately comes to mind are religions arid spirituality. 'Think of the West, and at once rationality, reason, science and technology spring up.
Prophets, apostles and other spiritual guides emerged from the East. After Abraham and Moses, there was the advent of Jesus Christ who proclaimed virtue, love, and mercy. His religion grew up with the Apostle Paul in Nabatean "Arabia", before it spread across Rome to merge with the western mind (See Dr. Khalil's art., Ar. Sec., p. 16).
Approximately six centuries after Christ, Islam proclaimed the oneness of God, justice, and righteousness. In Persia, about six centuries before the advent of Christ, Zoroaster focused on conflict between the forces of evil, and goodness, appealing to people to adhere to virtue (See Brax's art.. Ar. Sec., p. 69).
No doubt, spirituality has positively influenced people's behavior throughout the world. Its benevolence is evident from the teachings of ascetics, mystics and a good number of world authors and thinkers, such as G ibran Khalil Gibran, whose genuine spirituality' appeared not only in his thoughts and writings, but also in his behavior and in the pure love relationship he had with May Ziadeh (See Dr. Bushrui's art. Ar. Sec., p. 6.3).
Spirituality is oftentimes misunderstood, especially in the Arab world, the cradle of most spiritual guides. Some people have virtually restricted religion to rites and ceremonies, yet they claim that it is the only Truth. They have turned to the past and dwelt in it, secluding themselves from other nations and their great scientific and technological achievements.
Their creativity paralyzed; they have failed to introduce any important innovations. Thus, instead of advancing with civilization, they have moved backwards (See Al-Araji's art., Ar. Sec., p. 27).
This retreat together with indifference in keeping pace with the advanced nations has resulted in an alarming decrease in intellectual productivity, especially creativity, in the Arab World (See Dr. Nashif s art.. Ar. Sec., p. 40).
Boasting of a splendid past and great ancestry does not advance man, nor benefit him; instead, it enwraps him with shame, if he is not a match for it. In the fifteenth century, the West realized the importance of significant intellectual works; from there onwards, it put into print not only Western manuscripts but also Eastern manuscripts and not a few among them were in Arabic (See Dr. Haouili's art., Ar. Sec., p. 44). In addition, the West has embarked, at the same time, on innovation and creativity in all fields—philosophy, literature, art and sciences, whereas the East, particularly the Arabic Orient, the origin of divine religions, has remained withdrawn in the darkness that overwhelmed Europe for over ten centuries. The Arabic World is still entangled in chains of the past, surrendering to the Fates, and succumbing to traditions, illusions and superstitions handed down by earlier generations.
We, who listen to the voice of Dahesh, have learned from him that self-dependence and strong will power are necessary' to attain freedom and progress. Anyone who aspires to improve his condition as well as the condition of his people has to struggle to discipline his soul and provide it with spiritual values; however he should also cultivate his mind by widening its horizons and rectifying its logic, starting with education at home and school and continuing throughout his life (See Johnson's art., p. 13 and Brax's articles on education in the last three issues of Dahesh Voice. Laziness, ignorance, and idiocy detain man from real spiritual progress as much as evil and vice do.
Dr. Dahesh showed sincere love to his people, calling sleeping minds to awaken and shackled intellects to emancipate. As a tribute to his noble message, we include in this issue an essay by Dr. Saad El-Din about the uniqueness of the man who has gathered the glory' of literature and art as well as the glory of the spirit (Ar. Sec, p. 5), along with another by Z. Kalous, repeating testimony of the poet Halim Dammous, who bore witness to Dr. Dahesh. (Ar. Sec, p. 13), and a poem by Yasser Badreddine (Ar. Sec., p. 60); in addition to an inspiring, fascinating novella on virtue and nobleness, by Dr. Dahesh himself (Ar. Sec., p. 48).*


This is my new series of monotypes based on the cheeky little Willy-Wag Tail, who frequents my garden. I love how he hovers and dances around, swinging his tail, in constant motion.
I started the series whilst I was working at the Baldessin Studio in Melbourne, and have since completed some more. I'm still having heaps of fun with the imagery and my latest favourite colours - chocolate, aqua blue and raw sienna.
