AfghanistanOral Questions
Ottawa West—Nepean Ontario
John Baird ConservativeMinister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, that is why a number of years ago Canada instituted an enhanced agreement with Afghanistan on this issue. That is why we took action.
Whenever there have been credible or substantiated allegations made, the government has treated them seriously and we will continue to do so.
The reality is there is no credible evidence suggesting that any Canadian transfer of a Taliban terrorist has resulted in any torture. Those are the facts.
Claude DeBellefeuille Bloc Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government is doing everything possible to hide the truth about the atrocities suffered by detainees transferred to Afghan authorities. After derailing the Military Police Complaints Commission, the government is intimidating diplomat Richard Colvin and refusing to release various reports, which it nevertheless provided to witnesses who support its position.
Why put all this effort into hiding the truth if not to hide violations of the Geneva Convention?
Central Nova Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay ConservativeMinister of National Defence and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, we have provided and will continue to provide all legally available information.
Let us be clear. As part of the preparations to testify in hearings before the parliamentary committee, individuals like Generals Hillier and Gauthier, recently retired, as well as currently serving General Fraser were provided documents relevant to the issues being discussed at the parliamentary committee, as were Mr. Colvin and Mr. David Mulroney.
It is common practice for current and former public servants to be given information to which they are privy to give testimony before the parliamentary committee. It is the normal practice that we follow.
Mr. Speaker, David Mulroney acknowledged that the government knew that prisoners transferred by Canada to Afghan authorities risked being tortured. The Geneva Convention has clearly been violated by the Canadian government, which was not even capable of keeping tabs on its detainees.
Will the government admit that all its attempts to hide the truth have one objective: to hide the fact that for months it did not comply with the Geneva Convention?
Mr. Speaker, let us take a direct look at that statement just made.
Here is what Mr. Mulroney actually said: "We never, ever transferred anyone if we thought there was a substantial risk of torture". The member has made a complete misstatement of fact.
He said, "We knew that there were problems in the Afghan system, but we developed a robust monitoring system".
Those are the words of an individual closest to the mission, in the best position to make these assessments.
He continued, "I didn't agree with his assertion that everybody who went into the NDS was tortured, that the detainees were all farmers or probably all innocent. This is where I think he went from an observation to speculation".
Those are the words of Mr. Mulroney in his testimony yesterday.
Jack Harris NDP St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, on the detainee torture issue, first the government starved the MPCC by withholding documents. Then it fought against the committee hearings. Then it intimidated the witnesses at committee and withheld information from members of Parliament. At the same time, it gave full access to documents to its witnesses, even those no longer working for government.
Despite that, Mr. Mulroney yesterday confirmed our contention that for a year and a half, Canada did not have in place proper protection for detainees, as required by international law, and left them at risk of torture.
When will this government stop playing games and hiding the truth? When will it call a public inquiry?
Mr. Speaker, the government has said, and I will say once again, that it will continue to provide all legally available information. Having said that, our first responsibility, our first priority, is to protect the lives of our men and women in uniform, and that will continue to be the case.
Mr. Mulroney testified before the committee not 24 hours ago that the government never transferred any captured Taliban where there was any realistic fear of torture. "Never" is what he said.
Paul Dewar NDP Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, despite the widespread knowledge of torture in Afghan institutions, despite the recognition of the risk of human rights abuses, the government had no process to monitor whether or not Canadian-transferred detainees were tortured by the authorities.
For over a year, Afghan detainees were thrown into a black hole, prisons where beatings with cables, and electric shocks, punching and sexual abuse were normal practices. No one, not even Mr. Mulroney, could assure Canadians that those detainees were not tortured.
There is only one way to get to the truth. That is to call a public inquiry. Will the government do the right thing and call—
The Deputy Speaker Conservative Andrew Scheer
The hon. Minister of Transport.
Mr. Speaker, General Hillier dismissed some of these allegations not two days ago as ludicrous.
The member from the NDP, whom I have a great deal of respect for, seems to be happy to believe that Canadian soldiers are somehow arbitrarily rounding up farmers and taxi drivers and willingly sending them off to abuse.
Let me be very clear: our men in uniform would "never", in Mr. Mulroney's words, do that. Never.
Tax HarmonizationOral Questions
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government is set to ask the House to approve its billions of dollars in bribes to the provinces so they can hit Canadians with the HST. We have learned that should the opposition parties vote down this tax grab, the government will not reintroduce it. Other opposition parties might still be iffy about how they will vote, but I am looking to get confirmation from the government.
If its motion fails, will it drop its plan to hike taxes on families? Will it commit not to reintroduce the HST tax grab if that fails in a vote in Parliament? Yes or no?
Mr. Speaker, let me say very directly that we have no such plan to raise taxes arbitrarily on Canadian families. Our government's first priority has been to cut taxes for working families.
We cut the GST from 7% to 6% and then from 6% to 5%, and when we needed help to do that, when Canadian families needed a break on paying high taxes, could they count on the support of the NDP? No. The NDP members stood up and said they did not want a 5% GST. They wanted it to be 7%. They wanted to keep taxes high.
It is this government that fought to cut taxes and keep them low for Canadian families.
NortelOral Questions
November 27th, 2009 / 11:30 a.m.
Alexandra Mendes Liberal Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, we condemn the decision by Nortel executives to give themselves bonuses of several million dollars while employees are not entitled to severance pay, pensions or disability benefits.
Now that the Conservatives have taken steps for Nortel to be sold to Avaya, will they ensure that the Canadian employees, especially those who are disabled, are treated fairly and will receive the benefits for which they have worked so hard?
Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont Alberta
Mike Lake ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, we share the outrage of the hon. member at the news yesterday. It is incomprehensible that the executives at Nortel would choose to give themselves bonuses, court-authorized or not, at a time when the rest of the country is tightening its belt.
On the issue of pensions, our Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance has travelled the country over the course of the summer to hear from Canadians on this issue. Coming out of those consultations, we introduced measures to help protect pensioners by requiring companies to fully fund pension benefits on plan termination, make pensions more stable, give pensioners more negotiating powers and modernize the investment rules of pensions.
Mr. Speaker, less than a month ago, those same employees from Nortel stood on the front lawn of Parliament Hill and asked the government to help them retrieve their hard-earned pensions and severance packages. The Conservatives were remarkable for their silence. We now hear that current Nortel senior executives have just rewarded themselves another round of huge bonuses.
When will the government finally stand up for rank and file Nortel employees?
Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, of course we are outraged by the news that came out yesterday.
But again, on the subject of pensions, we have already completed cross-Canada consultations on federally regulated pensions. We are working with the provinces to set up a federal-provincial research working group on retirement income, and we have already convened a national summit of provincial and territorial finance ministers to discuss the group's findings in December.
What is remarkable is that the member for Markham—Unionville said just a few short weeks ago, "The Liberals don't actually have a policy on pension reform".
EmploymentOral Questions
Marcel Proulx Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, as the holidays approach, hundreds of people do not share the holiday spirit. Jobs continue to disappear by the hundreds. Yesterday it was Bombardier and Rogers that announced 715 and 900 layoffs respectively. The Conservatives have ignored our calls to introduce an aerospace strategy. They are allowing our technological giants to slip into foreign hands.
How high does the unemployment rate have to be before they decide to do something about it?
Mr. Speaker, of course, we do understand that it has been a difficult year for the aerospace industry in these global economic circumstances, as we have seen a tightening of budgets, particularly budgets for executive business jets. That has had an impact, obviously, on Bombardier.
That said, our government is actively working with and committed to supporting Canada's aerospace industry. In fact, we have recently made a $350 million investment in Bombardier Aerospace for its CSeries program. We have also invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the strategic aerospace defence initiative, in fact just a couple of months ago, announcing a $200 increased investment in that program.
MuseumsOral Questions
Mr. Speaker, it is not just the unemployed who are concerned about the fast approaching holidays. Workers involved in labour disputes are worried as well.
Such is the case for employees of the Museum of Civilization and the War Museum, here in the national capital region.
Will the minister wake up and impose arbitration in order to resolve this dispute once and for all?
Souris—Moose Mountain Saskatchewan
Ed Komarnicki ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, a mediator has been working with the parties from before the strike began, and we are continuing to work with them and encouraging them to come to the table to resolve this issue. Of course, if both parties agree, the minister can appoint an arbiter, but they both have to come to that agreement.
The EnvironmentOral Questions
Serge Cardin Bloc Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada is discrediting itself, not only on the international stage, where there are calls to have Canada expelled from the Commonwealth, but also here at home, where 3,000 Canadian scientists are calling on the government to negotiate an agreement that will rapidly and adequately address climate change.
What will it take for the government to announce a greenhouse gas reduction plan that is credible and produces results?
Mark Warawa ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, the fact is Canada is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2020. That is one of the toughest targets in the world. The fact is President Obama just announced a conditional target of a 17% reduction by 2020 using the 2005 levels. That target is virtually identical to this government's target.
Why do opposition members want Canada to diverge from a North American target and instead choose a job-killing European target? Canada will not abandon the North American harmonized approach. We will not jeopardize Canadian jobs or the Canadian economy.
Mr. Speaker, Quebec could be the first to pay for this government's inaction, since it exports the most to Europe.
Does the government realize that if Europe follows through on its carbon tax threats for delinquent countries, like Canada, Quebec exports will be the first to be hit hard?
Mr. Speaker, the government has been very clear. Canada does want an international binding agreement on climate change that includes all the major emitters. One hundred and ninety-two countries will be at the negotiating table.
This government will ensure that any treaty will include Canada's economic, geographic and industrial realities. We will not sign a deal that would be bad for Canada. We will continue to work on behalf of all Canadians.
Employment InsuranceOral Questions
Josée Beaudin Bloc Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, once again, the government is trying to force workers in Quebec to swallow an insult. The contribution rate that self-employed workers in Quebec will pay for benefits under Bill C-56 is totally disproportionate. According to the human resources department's own estimates, Quebeckers will pay too much for the services they receive.
Will the government admit the injustice that is being done to self-employed workers in Quebec, who are going to have to subsidize other workers?

Help for Business with COVID
Gary Eves summarises the help for Businesses in the Budget
Furlough Extended
This will now be available until 30 September 2021.
Employees, there are no changes to the terms.
Employers will contribute towards the cost of unworked hours. This will be 10% in July and 20% in August and September.
Self-employed Grants
There will be two more of these – Grants 4 and 5. To claim, a 2019/20 self-assessment return would have to have been lodged by 2 March 2021. People who started self-employment in 20/21 may therefore be eligible, as long as they meet all other eligibility criteria that related to Grant 3.
Grant 4, from February to April 2021, can be claimed from late April. This will be worth 80% of three months' average trading profits, paid as a single instalment, capped at £7,500. (So gross average profits per month £3,125)
Grant 5, from May to September 2021, can be claimed from late July. People whose Turnover has fallen by more than 30%, can claim as per Grant 4.
People whose Turnover has fallen by less than 30% can receive a 30% grant, capped at £2,850.
Loan Schemes – Government Supported Financing
A new Recovery Loan Scheme was announced to replace the CBILS. A businesses of any size can apply for loans between £25,001 and £10 million and asset/invoice financing between £1,000 and £10 million. The government will be providing an 80% guarantee on these loans.
Help with Premises Costs
The Business Rates Holiday has been extended to 30 June. For the remaining 9 months of the 2021/22 tax year, for businesses that have not been able to open, rates will be capped at 2/3 of the normal figure.
Incentives for Apprentices
Incentive payments for taking on an Apprentice will increase to £3,000 per Apprentice, regardless of age, and this will extend to 30 September. This incentive is in addition to the £1,000 for Apprentices aged 16 to 18 and those under 25 with an Education, Health and Care Plan.
The goal of this programme is to encourage young people into jobs that require only basic training but will significantly improve their career prospects for the future. This scheme is open to any business, there is no longer a minimum number of placements. The placements must be entirely new, for individuals between 16 and 24 years old only, who are in receipt of Universal Credit. Each placement will attract a government payment of 100% of the National Minimum Wage (depending on age of participant), and associated Employer National Insurance and auto enrolment pension contributions - for 25 hours per week, for 6 months.
Once the 6 months have been completed, the young person may be able to transfer to another employment scheme – such as a Traineeship or an Apprenticeship.

I had a good night's sleep and checked into the meet online before heading down to swim during day 2 of the New England scm champs. I was able to get two guys from my workout group to join me and it worked out that our college guy Noah picked me up and drove to meet Greg who drove the rest of the way to the meet. Worcester, MA, is about 2.5 hours from home and since my first event wasn't scheduled until 12:30ish we were able to not feel too rushed driving down.

The order was Mike, Greg, Jack, Noah and we all had a fun time swimming in a relay!
I was aiming to get under 1:10 and felt strong and in control during the entire swim. I employed my strong/build/fast/fast strategy and was able to hit my underwaters at 8/7/5/4 - less than I wanted on the last two walls. We came in at 5:09 and had a great time.

Q: what does object.next actually means in python I have started studying linkedlist and I couldnt figure out what does .next does. I understand it is pointing to next object but how it is doing that ? for example below is the code to insert new node to linked list.
class Node:
    def __init__(self,data):
        self.data=data
        self.next=None

class ll:
    def __init__(self):
        ll.head=None

def insertEnd(value):
    newnode = Node(value)
    currentNode = l.head
    while(currentNode.next):
        currentNode = currentNode.next
    currentNode.next = newnode

if __name__ == '__main__':
    l = ll()
    l.head = Node(6)
    second = Node(2)
    l.head.next = second
    insertEnd(9)

So how is thing happening. Kindly help me to understand.

A: It may help to go through the program and visualise the state of the linked list:
When l = ll() is executed, the constructor runs and l gets to reference that data structure:
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: None │
└────────────┘

Then l.head = Node(6) will run the Node constructor, and then assign the reference it gets from that to the above pictured head member.
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │
         ▼
┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │
│ next: None │
└────────────┘

A similar thing happens with second = Node(2), but now the returned reference is assigned to a name, not an attribute:
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second
         ▼          ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │
│ next: None │    │ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘

With l.head.next = second the next attribute of the first node gets a reference to the second node:
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second
         ▼          ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │
│ next: ─────────►│ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘

Now the more challenging insertEnd(9) call is made. In insertEnd, newnode = Node(value) creates a new node and assigns its reference to a local name:
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second            newNode (local)
         ▼          ↓                 ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │    │ data: 9    │
│ next: ─────────►│ next: None │    │ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘    └────────────┘

Another local name gets a reference to the first node that is already in the list: currentNode = l.head:
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second            newNode (local)
         ▼          ↓                 ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │    │ data: 9    │
│ next: ─────────►│ next: None │    │ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘    └────────────┘
  ↑
 current (local)

Then the loop starts. It will make one iteration where it updates the local name to get another reference: currentNode = currentNode.next
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second            newNode (local)
         ▼          ↓                 ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │    │ data: 9    │
│ next: ─────────►│ next: None │    │ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘    └────────────┘
                    ↑
                   current (local)

At this point the loop condition is no longer true, so the loop exits. At this point we can be sure that current references the tail node in the linked list. Finally, that tail node gets an update to its next attribute, so it links to the new node: currentNode.next = newnode
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second            newNode (local)
         ▼          ↓                 ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │    │ data: 9    │
│ next: ─────────►│ next: ─────────►│ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘    └────────────┘
                    ↑
                   current (local)

The insertEnd function returns, so all its local names are discarded, and the main program sees this:
 l
 ↓
┌────────────┐
│ head: ─┐   │
└────────│───┘
         │         second
         ▼          ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 6    │    │ data: 2    │    │ data: 9    │
│ next: ─────────►│ next: ─────────►│ next: None │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘    └────────────┘

Friday members of the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Indiana, performed a special wreath laying ceremony at the Indiana State Police Memorial and Eternal Flame located adjacent to the Indiana State Police Museum, 8660 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN.
The event was to honor those troopers and employees of The Indiana State Police who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
The Sons of The American Legion is one branch of The American Legion Family. The Legion itself is made up of men and women who served honorably in U.S. military branches during times of conflict over the past 100 years.
As such, the Sons is a program within The Legion and is made up of the sons, grandsons, and great grandsons of those who have held membership in The Legion or were eligible for membership if they are deceased. Indiana has the nation's second-largest S.A.L. membership with more than 37,000 members.
There is a close connection between The American Legion Family and law enforcement officers throughout the country and in Indiana. A great many peace officers are, themselves, former soldiers and sailors and many of them are also members of The Legion and the Sons.
The wreath laying ceremony was presided over by Chris Carlton, Commander of the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Indiana. Governor Mike Pence, State Police Superintendent Doug Carter, Officers and members of the Sons, members of The American Legion Family, branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and members of the public attended the ceremony.
The laying of the wreath ceremony is tied into Indiana's annual state conventions of The American Legion, the Sons of The American Legion, and The American Legion Auxiliary – all of which are taking place at the nearby Marriott Hotel. At one point during its convention, The American Legion will present its annual Law Enforcement Officer of The Year Award to a deserving peace officer.
Further questions regarding the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Indiana should be directed to Mike Pipher at (812) 360-3702 or [email protected].

Álvaro Véliz (Santiago de Chile, 9 de febrero de 1972) es un músico chileno.

Biografía

Estudió en el Instituto Zambrano.

Comenzó a dar sus primeros pasos en los festivales de la canción que realizaba su colegio. A los 9 años, participó en "El Clan Infantil" del programa Sábado Gigante. En ese programa, Álvaro entró por primera vez en el mundo de la música y la televisión.
Luego comenzó a cantar diferentes jingles para comerciales y posteriormente fue imagen de la campaña "Ahorrofertas" de Farmacias Ahumada.

En los años 1980, Véliz decidió estudiar música en la Escuela Experimental de Música, especializándose en guitarra y piano, y dirección orquestal en la Universidad de Chile, mientras, entre tanto, trabajaba tocando en pubs y discoteques.

En 1998, gana el concurso de nuevos intérpretes de Sábado Gigante Internacional, en Miami. Ese mismo año, participó en las grabaciones de las versiones en español latinoamericano de las canciones de las series animadas Dragon Ball Z (Cha-La-Head-Cha-La), Detective Conan y Slam Dunk, y la canción central de la película Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back. Dos años después es contratado por Universal Music Chile, compañía con la que lanza su primer disco homónimo, material que produjo junto a su amigo Juan Carlos Duque. Impuso éxitos como Una herida de amor, La luz de tus ojos, No sé vivir y una versión de Cartas amarillas de Nino Bravo.

Con un naciente éxito, Álvaro Véliz participó en las giras de la Teletón. En 2001 fue nominado Artista Revelación en los premios APES y Mejor Disco del Año en los Premio Altazor de las Artes Nacionales, lo que se repetiría en tres años después con su disco Mía. De ese disco se desprende su nuevo éxito, titulado igual que el disco "Mía". En el año 2004 compone las canciones para los ganadores de Operación Triunfo (Argentina).

En 2006 gana el concurso para representar a su país en el XLVII Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar, donde interpreta la canción Hoy, compuesta con el músico Eric Phillips y pasa por el escenario de Viña con una destacada participación. Esta canción, junto a una selección de hits radiales de Dyango, José Luis Perales, Camilo Sesto, Pablo Abraira y Nino Bravo, conforman su disco Mis canciones, editado en 2009 por Feria Music.

Well the future is unpredictable and so it the future technology. But some new every now and then, people when see a new tech they think it is the latest one and what changes can be done in the future. As the new modern hi tech airplanes has already made the impact, and now technology is changing their wings as well. The future airplane will have NASA and MIT Morphing Airplane Wings. These are the future airplane wings. A team of engineers of NASA and MIT students comes out with a new kind of wings, composed of hundreds of individual pieces that are lighter and more energy-efficient.
These future Airplane wings are made from tiny, identical polymer tiles. These are connected by struts, the new mechanical "metamaterial" for faster, economical aircraft production and maintenance.
As it says that the future tech will be simple, innovative and moreover cost effective. On the topic of Airplane wings, it is complex subject as wings have complicated and specialized structures. They are e expensive to design, build, and maintain.
In order to do their job, they require an intricate system of control surfaces, motors, cables, and hydraulics to function so that a rigid wing can use rigid control surfaces that slide and tilt to control the flow of air passing over them. That's why Airplanes are expensive.
The best features of the wings are that they are responsive to the environment and conditions out there. Early it's upto pilot's skills and ability to change the direction during landing and taking off. But these NASA and MIT Morphing Airplane Wings have ability to make it easier for the pilot to control the airplanes.
In other words, rather than a pilot adjusting the wing for the given situation, the aircraft could monitor the aerodynamic loading conditions. They will automatically adjust the wing shape for optimal efficiency on an ongoing basis.


Keeping up to date with new publications, research papers, announcements from funding bodies and other news is an essential but time consuming task. Our workshop WISER: getting information to come to you takes the pain out of the process by introducing RSS feeds and email alerts. These technologies allow you to set up automatic alerts so that you are notified when key journals, databases or web sites publish new information in your research area.
If you missed out on our Workshop last term, we are running it again on Thursday 8th May 2.00-3.30pm. The session will include time for you to set up a feed reader or email alerts. Please book your place online.

Q: Writing to an empty cell in Google Spreadsheets I would like to have some Javascript code running in a web browser write to a Google Spreadsheet in the user's Google account.
The Javascript API is a bit long-winded, involving lots of round trips, but does seem to work. I can successfully log in, create a new spreadsheet, read values from it, update cells, etc. However, I haven't yet figured out how to write to an empty cell. (By empty, I mean that a cell that has had no value written into it yet.)
The issue is: in order to update the value of a cell, I need to know that cell's id. To get the cell's id, I read the cell feed, which shows me the contents (and id) of all non-empty cells. However it won't show me empty cells, therefore I don't know their id, therefore I can't write to them. I've tried making up my own id based on the naming pattern of the other cells, but that doesn't work.
There must be an easy way round this. What is it?
(Context: what I'm actually doing is trying to store user preferences in the user's Google account. The spreadsheet API seems like to be the only one that's feasible to use from a pure Javascript environment. If anyone can suggest any alternatives that's easier to use than Spreadsheets, I'd be grateful.)

A: I was about to ask a similar question when I stumbled upon yours and while in the process of compiling my question I found the answer!
http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/data/2.0/reference.html#CellParameters
There is a property called return-empty which is set to false by default hence only returning cells that aren't empty in the feed. Set this to "true" in your cell query and you will be able to update the value of empty cells.
I've testing this using the .NET API .

Cold Love reveals the dramatic beauty and life-giving forces of our earth's frozen places, as well as the fragile state of its health.
130 backers pledged $13,498 to help bring this project to life.
The joy of snow —as it falls from the sky and accumulates on plains and mountains. The call of ice — to skate, to fish, to co-exist with polar animals in their natural habitat. That is the wonder captured by the documentary film Cold Love. This one hour video reveals our planet's breathtaking world of ice and snow, and the need to keep these frozen regions healthy in order for our planet to not only survive, but to thrive. Filmed mostly in Alaska, Cold Love is both a love story and a call to action.
The earth's frozen places are its thermostat, regulating the planet's temperature and providing a stable environment for every other part of our world. These cold places need our care —the way our children and loved ones do.
No one knows this more intimately than the explorers and adventurers who travel the frozen terrain. As they strip off the trappings of society and carry only the absolute necessities, these adventurers connect to their core selves as they connect to the frozen earth. The brush of wind against skin tells the forecast. The path of the sun traversing the sky tells the time. The shadows against ice and snow tell the direction they travel. The force of the wind tells whether they travel or not. And all the while, no matter where they go, no matter how difficult the journey, these adventurers feel at home in the cold, a world they are passionate about nurturing.
Why do Polar explorers and mountain climbers remove themselves from the securities and comforts of civilized life to explore the frozen remoteness of our planet? Why do they fall in love with something that can seem so harsh and unforgiving?
We find the answers in Cold Love, which reveals the dramatic beauty and life-giving forces of our earth's frozen places. When viewed close up, both their majesty and their fragility are clear for all to see. And in the seeing, we can't help but be inspired to love and protect that world ourselves.
The team for the Denali climb is in place. Working most closely with Lonnie Dupre, founder of One World Endeavors, as he prepares for his solo summit of Denali are: Dmitri von Klein, cinematographer and photographer (monovita.com), and project coordinator Stevie Plummer. Lonnie will collect footage to document his solo journey up the tallest mountain in North America. During his January 2013 ascent, the team will fly over Denali to capture additional footage. After the climb, the team will gather all the footage from the Cold Love climb as well as the footage from Lonnie's last 25 years of Arctic exploration. The culmination will be a one hour video, Cold Love.
During an Arctic career spanning 25 years, Lonnie Dupre has traveled more than 15,000 miles in the high Arctic and polar regions. His path — by dog team, ski and kayak — has often followed the footsteps of earlier Arctic explorers, particularly Robert E. Peary, Roald Amundsen and Knud Rasmussen. Like these explorers, Lonnie has lived and traveled with the Polar Inuit, learning from these hardy people, and developing a deep appreciation for their culture and way of life. These Arctic experiences have led to Lonnie's belief in people's ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles that stand between them and their dreams. The success of his many Arctic expeditions, with the extreme physical, mental, emotional and logistical hurdles they bring, is a testament to this belief.
In 1991/92, Lonnie and Malcolm Vance completed the first west-to-east 3000-mile winter crossing of Canada's famed Northwest Passage by dog team.
Between 1997 and 2001, Lonnie, along with John Hoelscher, achieved the first circumnavigation of Greenland, a completely nonmotorized 6500-mile journey by kayak and dog team.
Lonnie has pulled sleds on skis from Canada to the North Pole twice. His 2006 One World Expedition achieved 68 million impressions worldwide on issues surrounding climate change. His second North Pole expedition was in 2009, when his team endured -56º F temperatures on their 650-mile journey.
Born in 1961, Lonnie was raised on a Minnesota farm. He is descended on his mother's side from Jacques Cartier, the French explorer and founder of Quebec. Lonnie currently lives in Grand Marais, MN, where he enjoys woodworking and back country skiing in the Quetico Provincial Park and Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness in the Minnesota/Canadian border area.
Lonnie has authored two books (Life on Ice and Where Ice is Born), helped create two documentaries for National Geographic, appeared twice on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and was featured in a variety of prominent media outlets, including: CNN, Wall Street Journal, Discovery channel, Boston Globe, Wired Magazine, New York Times, USA Today, CBS, and NPR, Sports Illustrated, Reader's Digest, Outside Magazine and Scientific American.
After the Denali climb is concluded, Lonnie and his team will work nonstop to mix and edit footage from the climb and from Lonnie's previous expeditions. The end result? What promises to be an extraordinary personal film capturing the breathtaking and dramatic beauty of our planet's land of snow and ice.
The bulk of the challenges to create Cold Love have been met. However, when working with mother nature there are always unexpected occurrences! We have a lot of great film from past expeditions, but we want to capture as much new footage as possible from Denali this year. Donations for this project will go toward the following: purchasing new cameras, funding additional flyovers on the mountain to gain footage and buying an up-to-date editing program. All this will result in a better film. Editing new material into the documentary Cold Love will be a challenge in itself, but equally challenging will be reviewing and editing all the past footage, even with several people working together! We have put together a great team and we know we can do it with your help!
1. Become a backer and support the project by selecting one of the "rewards" we are giving away on the right side of this page.
2. SPREAD THE WORD! This can be the biggest help of all. If you're excited about this project, let everyone know by spreading the word and sharing this project via Facebook, Twitter, email and word of mouth.
3. Help us exceed our goal of $9000. Filming, mixing and editing are expensive. Every dollar of your donations will go to make this documentary the best it can possibly be.
NOTE: If we don't reach our goal of $9,000 by our deadline, Kickstarter will not give us anything and your donations will not be charged. It's all or nothing here. Please help us meet – and exceed our goal!
Thank you for being a part of Cold Love! We are one step closer to having a complete film next year. You will be listed on the website and film credits as a supporter of the project.
Base camp crew in Alaska will send you a postcard during the expedition.
5x7 print of image taken from expedition and autographed by the whole Cold Love crew.
We'll send you a framed and autographed 11x14 print of an image (of your choice) taken during the expedition.
Lonnie will personally host (and cook) dinner for you and 3 guests in either Alaska or Minnesota. (Travel's not included.) Plus gifts from above awards!
Lonnie Dupre will make a 3-minute satellite phone call from Denali to you during his climb.
Lonnie Dupre will give you the custom anorak that kept him "warm" during the Denali climb. He'll tuck into a pocket a personal letter to you!
Lonnie will autograph and send you the Madshus skis used on the Denali expedition to help span crevasses on the glaciers.
Be part of the send-off flight when the crew brings Lonnie Dupre to the start of his Denali climb. A once-in-a-lifetime thrill! This flight will happen anywhere from 12/29/12-1/1/12 weather dependent.
Join the flight when the crew goes back to the mountain to pick Lonnie Dupre up when he gets down from the summit. A once-in-a-lifetime thrill!

Joyhauser
Born out of a deep passion for electronic music culture, Joyhauser is one of the most exciting, incendiary acts in today's techno scene. Since their emergence in 2017 the notorious duo has smashed dance floors across the world, picking up a huge following and gaining support from many of the scene's most influential figureheads, including Amelie Lens and Pan-Pot and Adam Beyer. A few short years after they emerged on the scene, they were picking up bookings at highly-respected club spaces all over the world; traveling from their native Belgium to North and South America, across Europe and beyond. Their music has a unique flavour, combining influences from techno, trance, Belgium's own distinct rave sound and a myriad of other styles. Preferring not to rush, the duo cultivated and nurtured the music over many years before presenting it to the public, as a result Joyhauser's music stands in a class of its own with releases on Terminal M, Second State and Kraftek. Part of Belgium's new generation of exceptional techno talents, Joyhauser are a potent partnership with the drive, determination and experience to deliver each and every time…
The culmination of a friendship formed in 2004, Joyhauser represents the combined talent of Joris Cielen and Stijn Vanspauwen. Both men hail from Bilzen, a small town in Belgium where they found a common bond through their love of music. Starting out as party promoters, they organised events in their hometown which filled dancefloors right from the start. Their fate was sealed during a visit to seminal festival I Love Techno in 2006, when music really began to take over their lives. DJing separately to begin with, their parties gave them the space to evolve and experiment, eventually deciding to team up on the decks.
In 2017, 13 years after they first met, Joris and Stijn conceived Joyhauser as a vehicle for their DJ and production endeavours. From the outset Stijn, an out and out perfectionist, was adamant they wouldn't release anything until he thought it was good enough. So they took their time, patiently refining their productions, honing a style that was unique to them and holding off releasing their music until it felt right. Parallel to their studio work, Stijn and Joris were building their reputation as DJs in Belgium and beyond, becoming respected selectors with performances at many of Europe's best-known clubs and festivals including Awakenings, Extrema Outdoor, Tomorrowland and Pukkelpop. They also became part of the family at Labyrinth, one of Belgium's premier electronic music clubs.
The hard work and patience paid off and their 2018 release 'Galaxy Phase' sent Joyhauser into the stratosphere, their melodic yet potent sound captivating techno lovers across the globe. By taking their time, the duo managed to go against the grain and create their own unique identity. It's a sound that is instantly recognisable as the 'Joyhauser sound': Deep and melancholy with repeated motifs, contagious rhythms and powerful energy all wrapped up in their own distinctive flavour. Years of experience on the decks, and the dance floor, permeate into their productions meaning every track gives ravers an energy-fuelled, emotive encounter.
Support has come from far and wide, the sublime sound resonating with fans, peers and older heads latching on to their music. Following 'Galaxy Phase', they were signed to Monika Kruse's Terminal M, with the 'C166W' EP. Raw and dynamic with scintillating harmonies and rousing melodies, the release reinforced their reputation and their international profile grew in stature. Bookings began to increase and Joyhauser's tour schedule included peak-time sets in London, Beirut, Berlin, Istanbul, Bogota, Kiev and many more. Their ascendance up the ranks has been swift, but they remain level-headed, maintaining a selective approach with when and where to release their music. A killer remix of 'Hypnotized' by Amelie Lens on Second State picked up 8 out of 10 in Mixmag's August 2019 issue, smashing club and festival dance floors all over the planet.
With plans for an album and a live set in the pipeline, the duo are working on taking things to the next level, with the intention of making people happy at the core of their output. Thoughtful, passionate, hard working and talented, Stijn and Joris are bringing fresh energy and ideas to the techno world, inspiring their peers and elders alike. With Joyhauser, the future of techno is in good hands…

The effort — to develop AI systems capable of analyzing reams of full-motion video data collected by drones that would then tip off human analysts when people and events of interest pop up — was viewed by the employees as Google being in the business of war. Eventually, the company chose to not pursue another Project Maven contract.
But the brouhaha may have been mitigated if the Pentagon and Silicon Valley knew how to better communicate, said Paul Scharre, director of the Center for a New American Security's technology and national security program.
"There's not a lot of crosstalk and crosspollination between these communities — between policymakers and those in the AI community who are concerned," said Scharre, who is also the author of the book Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War.
To try and bridge the gap, CNAS is spearheading a new effort — known as the Project on Artificial Intelligence and International Stability — to create more dialogue between policymakers, the developers of AI platforms and national security experts working outside of government.

Is there anything more difficult than watching your first fledgling child leave the nest? Parents typically suffer more separation anxiety than young adult children. From your perspective, your child was an intimate part of the family and suddenly that time screeched to a halt. It's not easy to let go of that first child.
The truth is, your child has been finding his own identity and relinquishing his emotional need for you since he became a teen.
Like the mother bird who teaches her little ones to fly, parents spend the first 18 years teaching life skills and life lessons to children. Children begin their own separation from us around the age of 14 or when they reach puberty and see more choices for emotional fulfillment. Sexual identity evolves and with it comes new emotional bonds.
First love brings new life lessons and they understand that mom and dad can't protect them from misunderstandings, break-ups, and hurt feelings. Young adult children learn to cope without parents because they're investing in new relationships.
Understanding that you are the one with high separation anxiety may help you cope when your first child leaves the nest. Naturally, circumstances can intensify the anxiety. If the first child is your only child, it's natural to feel lonely and blue. Seeing your son or daughter enter the military and deploy to another country causes extreme anxiety and worry for their safety.
In situations where we're powerless to protect our children, it's easy to submit to living with worry and holding onto it because we fear the unknown. Fortunately, young people have a built in sense of living in the moment and most do not share our fear for their situation.
Seeing a child off to college means a few visits during the year and possibly during the summer. You have something to look forward to as you say good-bye.
The marriage of a child is a tough transition for parents and it's especially difficult if they move out of state. They've already embarked on a new life with a new partner, but these things weigh on a parent's heart and mind. Though we're happy for them, we worry about how they'll make it in life.
Life is not all anxiety and in the hectic pace of today's world, you may not have a great amount of time for feeling lonely or blue, but if and when you do there are things you can do to cope.
Stay in touch with your fledgling. Today's Internet superhighway makes it easier to keep in touch with sons or daughters, even those deployed to different countries.
Take the time to do something special for yourself. Treat yourself to a new hairstyle or go to a concert. Buy a companion pet, but do something.
Spend more time with your remaining family. They need your support in their growth path and you'll be seeing them off into the world soon enough.
If time permits, develop friendships with parents in the same situation. Lean on, learn new ways of coping, and draw strength from each other.
Chances are, if your child has gone away to college, he or she will return several times during the year with a ton of laundry. Instead of doing the laundry for your child, take the opportunity to do the laundry together or help fold clothes. An informal catch up chat on the events and activities that your child is involved in while at college will help re-establish family ties.
Finally, see your son or daughter as they are today with all possibilities before them. He or she is now a young adult with concerns and worries on a different scale than when he was a child living in the home. Offer help but don't force them to accept it. Encourage them on their life path just as you did before they left your nest. They won't forget your love and support; no matter where life takes them.

Барон Вальтер фон Лютвіц (; 2 лютого 1859, Бодланд, район Розенберг, Сілезія — 20 вересня 1942, Бреслау) — німецький генерал, відомий завдяки своїй участі в Каппському заколоті.

Біографія
Під час Першої світової війни займав ряд високих військових посад, у тому числі неодноразово — командира бригади. Після оголошення перемир'я в 1918 був призначений тимчасовим революційним урядом — Радою народних уповноважених — на посаду головнокомандувача рейхсвером в Берліні і його околицях. Перебуваючи на цій посаді, в січні 1919 керував придушенням за допомогою фрайкора так званого Повстання спартакістів.

Як і багато інших в рейхсвері, був рішучим противником Версальського договору, найбільше — вимогам скоротити німецьку армію до 100 тисяч чоловік, ліквідувати фрайкор і видати державами-переможницями близько 900 службовців рейхсверу, що звинувачувалися у скоєнні військових злочинів.
До активного опору вимог мирного договору приступив після 11 березня 1920, коли був зміщений з посади головнокомандувача рейхсміністром оборони Густавом Носке. У ніч з 12 на 13 березня морська бригада Ергардта, яка підлягала розформуванню, а перед цим знаходилася в підпорядкуванні Лютвіца, увійшла в урядовий квартал Берліна. Лютвіц був призначений заколотниками рейхсміністром оборони. Не підтримані старою елітою і населенням, заколотники протрималися лише кілька днів, 17 березня, вбачаючи придушення заколоту, Лютвіцу вдалося втекти.

Після втечі кілька років прожив в Угорщині, після оголошення амністії в 1925 повернувся на батьківщину.

No. 20 Texas A&M blows 10-point lead in fourth quarter as Auburn stuns Aggies
Photo by Michael Chang/Getty Images
By Kevin McGuireNov 3, 2018, 3:36 PM EDT
No. 20 Texas A&M was not able to close out Auburn on the road on Saturday afternoon. The Aggies failed to protect a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost to Auburn, 28-24, on the road in the SEC West Division matchup.
Texas A&M had some chances to slam the door on Auburn but could not do it. With a 24-14 lead in the fourth quarter, Texas A&M missed a field goal from 36 yards and Kellen Mond was intercepted on Texas A&M's next offensive series. That set in motion the rally for Auburn that turned a double-digit deficit into a big division win for the Tigers.
After Auburn cut the Texas A&M lead to 24-21 in the fourth quarter, the Aggies moved the ball to midfield when their drive stalled. A 41-yard punt was returned by Christian Tutt for 28 yards and immediately followed by a short pass from Jarrett Stidham to Ryan Davis that turned into a 47-yard gain. With the ball suddenly at the Texas A&M 11-yard line, Stidham connected with Seth Williams for a go-ahead score.
With the ball one last time, the Aggies failed to get into a position to get a better shot at a game-winning touchdown and relied on Mond to toss it deep in the final seconds. His deep Hail Marry pass fell out of bounds as time seemingly ran out, but officials cleared the field to put one second back on the clock for one more play for the Aggies. The one second added merely gave Nick Coe a chance to get a sack on the final play of the game to seal the win for Auburn.
Stidham passed for 239 yards while completing 18-of-29 attempts with two touchdowns. Darious Slayton was Auburn's leading receiver with eight catches for 107 yards, but Seth Williams led all players with two touchdown receptions in the Auburn win.
Texas A&M let a solid performance by running back Trayveon Williams go to waste. Williams rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 17 rushing attempts and he added five receptions for 74 yards and a score in the game. Williams was the star of the first half but Auburn played him better defensively in the second half.
Texas A&M will finish up the regular season with three home games beginning next week against Ole Miss. The Aggies are 3-1 at home this season, with the only loss coming back in Week 2 against Clemson by just two points. If Texas A&M can clean up the schedule at home, the Aggies will have a chance at their first 9-win season since 2013, the school's second season in the SEC. The Aggies need to win out and win a bowl game in order for that to happen.
Although the win feels good and can be a confidence boost, it won't get much easier for Auburn down the stretch. Auburn travels to Georgia next week and ends the regular season on the road against Alabama with a home game against Liberty sandwiched between. Auburn beat both Georgia and Alabama in the regular season last year, but they also got the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide at home. This year could be a different story with both games being played on the road.

Trayveon Williams scores two touchdowns to give Texas A&M halftime lead at Auburn
Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
If you are not already familiar with Texas A&M running back Trayveon Williams, perhaps he has grabbed your attention this afternoon. Williams has rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown and added a 14-yard touchdown reception off a screen pass to push the Aggies to a halftime lead at Auburn, 17-14. With both teams jockeying for position in the SEC West standings and for the opportunity to clinch bowl eligibility, Auburn's defense will have to find a way to clamp down on Williams in the second half.
Texas A&M picked up a field goal off the leg of Seth Small from 35 yards on their first offensive series of the game, capping a 13-play drive that was fueled by running the ball but ultimately stalled when attempting to throw the ball. A fumble by Kellen Mond on the next offensive series for the Aggies gave Auburn a short field to work with from the Texas A&M 20-yard line.
Sal Cannella gave Auburn a 7-3 lead by hauliong in a 20-yard pass from receiver Ryan Davis immediately following the A&M fumble, but Texas A&M responded with a Trayveon Williams touchdown run of 38 yards on the ensuing possession.
Texas A&M headed to halftime with an advantage in offensive yards, 233-127, and the Aggies have been averaging 6.8 rushing yards per attempt while Auburn is struggling with just 1.5 yards per rushing attempt. This one is still upfor grabs, but the Auburn offense needs to find a spark to counter what Williams has been capable of providing for Texas A&M.

Blown call by SEC official screws Texas A&M out of a touchdown in first half vs. Arkansas
By Kevin McGuireSep 23, 2017, 1:45 PM EDT
Arkansas is leading Texas A&M by a score of 21-17 in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas after one half of play, but the story of the half will be the blown call by a SEC side judge trailing a long run down the sideline. It was bad.
After Kellen Mond appeared to run the length of the field and stumble his way into the end zone for six, the official on the field ruled Mond had stepped out of bounds at the Arkansas 10-yard line.
He did not.
This play was not reviewable because instant replay rules can be dumb. https://t.co/UWXw9liRhe
— Kevin McGuire (@KevinOnCFB) September 23, 2017
Because the play was blown dead, the ruling on the field could not be sent upstairs to the instant replay booth. Texas A&M would get no further down the field and had to settle for a field goal as a result.
The two teams exchanged touchdown drives in the first quarter, first with Austin Allen completing a 16-yard touchdown pass to Jared Cornelius for the Razorbacks and then Mond completing a pass to a wide-open Christian Kirk for an 81-yard score.
Maybe try covering Christian Kirk? I dunno. https://t.co/E6hzfA3OdE
Arkansas regained the lead in the second quarter with a pair of touchdowns with Cole Kelley tossing one from two yards out and Chase Hayden running for a six-yard score. The Aggies did eventually get back in the end zone late in the first half with Trayveon Williams finding room up the middle for an 18-yard touchdown.

Second-half dominance powers No. 10 A&M past No. 17 Arkansas, 45-24
Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
By Kevin McGuireSep 25, 2016, 12:56 AM EDT
No. 10 Texas A&M grabbed a late touchdown run from quarterback Trevor Knight in the first half and shut down No. 17 Arkansas in the second half of a 45-24 victory in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Aggies shut down the Razorbacks in the second half and scored 28 points on offense to improve to 4-0 and head into October thinking about making a run at the SEC West title (and potentially for real this time).
With the game tied at 17-17, Arkansas put together a draining 89-yard drive on 19 plays, but it was the Texas A&M defense that held strong down by the goal line. Just as they had done twice in the first half, Texas A&M prevented Arkansas from punching the football across the goal line, this time with a fourth-down stand. Two plays later, Texas A&M quarterback Trevor Knight unloaded a deep ball to Josh Reynolds racing down the right sideline. The ball was placed perfectly for Reynolds and he let his speed take care of the rest on a 92-yard touchdown drive. It was quite the momentum swing and the Aggies did not look back.
Texas A&M scored a touchdown after forcing Arkansas to punt on the ensuing possession and took advantage of a short field from the 15-yard line after an Arkansas fumble. Trayveon Williams did the honors on the first touchdown with a 33-yard scamper and Christian Kirk got his hands on a pass from Knight after the Razorbacks' fumble.
Four games into the season and there appears to be enough evidence to suggest this Texas A&M defense has improved, and that helps make Texas A&M a formidable player in the SEC West moving forward. Is it ready to take down Alabama? Probably not, but the Aggies have the look of the second-best team in the SEC behind the defending national champions. Arkansas still has the potential to play spoiler with anyone on their schedule though, including Alabama.
Knight was a machine for the Aggies, ending his night with 225 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, a game-high 157 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Arkansas quarterback passed for 371 yards and two scores, but took a beating all night.
Texas A&M is 4-0 for the third straight season under Kevin Sumlin. The last time Texas A&M went 4-0 in three straight seasons was 1939-1941. It is also the third straight undefeated September for Texas A&M, which was last achieved from 1997 through 1999. The hot seat talk has been nowhere to be heard in College Station this season.
Arkansas gets a likely breather next week when they return home to host Alcorn State. A home game against Alabama looms after that. Texas A&M will stay in SEC play next week when they head to South Carolina. The Gamecocks are coming off a 17-10 loss at Kentucky.

Have you ever wanted to change the color of a digital element on a layout? Today I'm going to show you how easy recoloring embellishments can be!
I wanted to use a journal spot for a layout about my great-grandparents, but the color didn't fit with the rest of my page, so I recolored/colorized the element.
First, I created a backup copy of the journal spot by clicking Ctrl+J and made it invisible by clicking on the little eye icon next to the layer.
Next, I changed the element to black and white. I selected Enhance> Convert to Black and White (shortcut:Ctrl+Alt+B), used the pop-up window to make adjustments, and clicked OK.
I made a second black-and-white copy of the journal spot by clicking Ctrl+J. The layers now were: black-and-white copy, black-and-white, invisible original.
Using the Eyedropper Tool, I selected a color from my layout that was close to the color I wanted the journal spot to be. This selection appeared as the new foreground color (top color) in the squares on the bottom left. I located the hue of the selected color by clicking on the foreground color. Notice the Hue was 43.
With the top black-and-white journal spot selected on the Layers Palette, I clicked Enhance> Adjust Color> Adjust Hue/Saturation (shortcut: Ctrl+U) to get to the Hue/Saturation pop-up window, then clicked "Colorize." Notice the Hue was already set at 43, the same hue I selected with the Eyedropper Tool earlier.
Now I needed to tweak the color a bit more. Since adjusting the Hue would have changed the base color, I left that slider alone. To get the exact shade of color I wanted, I moved the sliders for Saturation and Lightness. When I was satisfied, I clicked OK, saving the color change.
I wanted to make the design appear more crisp and the paper to be lighter, so I used the second black-and-white journal spot as an overlay. After moving the black-and-white copy above the recolored one, I changed the Blending Mode to "Overlay," and I changed the Opacity to 30%. Other useful Blending Modes are "Soft Light" and "Multiply." You can play around with the settings until you achieve an effect you like.
Finally, I merged the overlay and recolored layers. I clicked on one layer, held down the Ctrl key, then clicked on the other, highlighting both layers. Then I right-clicked on one of the layers and selected "Merge Layers." You can see the original and recolored journal spots below.


The Council of Agriculture has developed a tea traceability system using cloud computing to allow consumers to trace the source and production of tea, while using Facebook to provide instant advice on pest prevention and control to farmers.
To boost the quality and traceability of tea amid recent pesticide scares involving tea drinks, the council's Tea Research and Extension Station on Tuesday said that it launched an online platform for tea farmers and enterprises to list the information of each product batch, which consumers can access via a QR code attached to the product or access on a Web site to search for approved suppliers.
Information listed on the Web site includes the product's place of origin, manufacturer, pesticide test results, certificates and the flow and volume of each harvest, the council said.
Four major tea companies have been included in the system, the Tait Marketing and Distribution Co, the producer of Kaisi oolong tea, and Good Young Co, which supplies the nation's Starbucks franchises, the council said.
The system also includes 200 small-scale tea farms, with 60 tonnes of tea leaves shipped this year registered in the system, the council said, adding that it aims to include 1,000 tea farmers by the end of this year, and half of the nation's 12,000 farmers by 2017.
The system could be used to market "quality" and organic tea products, as a tea competition in July saw all the competing, pesticide-free products labeled with the traceability code, the council said.
Separately, the council's Kaohsiung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station launched a question-and-answer platform on Facebook to provide prompt assistance to farmers in diagnosing suspected plant diseases.
Farmers can upload photographs of affected plants to the council's Facebook page to seek advice and station staff are to give a diagnosis and suggest pest control measures.
The page has attracted more than 5,000 users, the Kaohsiung station said.
In cases where a suspected plant disease cannot be determined by sight, the council would contact the farmer and request a sample of the diseased plants, the Kaohsiung station said.
Academics have been invited to participate in the platform, the Kaohsiung station said, adding that a suspected case of foliar blight of roselle sparked discussions online.

Q: How to start firefox (or other browser) on remote server and connect to it from local? Question
I would like to start a browser (preferably firefox, but can be chrome/chromium, or others if needed) on a remote server (S), and connect to it from my local computer (L). The goal is to visit and use some web app from the server.
Is there a way or a mode for firefox (or other browsers) to:

*

*start an instance on the remote server S;

*start a thin instance on my local computer L and connect to the instance on S, such that L displays the page on S and my operations on L effectively operates S (in particular, all network requests are from S rather than L)?

I do not care where the page is rendered. I also do not need browser extensions, if that is a consideration.
Use scenario
I need to do some benchmark on an application deployed over several servers (inside the same virtual-LAN). Each server has a (possibly different) service deployed, receiving API calls.
Each round of the benchmark will send thousands or more API calls to these servers, and collect the performance figures (e.g. time, bandwidth, etc; which I already have the mechanism to collect).
My intuition is to initiate the task from one server (the S above), and communicate to all servers from within the LAN.
However, the controlling application is a Web app. I'd prefer to avoid spending time to re-write relevant part of it to CLI nodejs.
Possibly related solutions
I'm aware of X-Forwarding of SSH. But that requires to download the whole browser window pixels or the part of the desktop every refresh. What I need is only the webpage content, not the rest. The page I want to visit does not have lots of visual effects, so transmitting all pixels seems to require too much bandwidth. In addition, I need to by-pass/change some default ssh policies to make it work. It's not an ideal solution from my perspective.
Using remote desktops (e.g. VNC) seems to have similar issues of bandwidth for SSH.
I also heard of headless mode, which seems to be what I need. However, the articles I found only talk about how to automate operations through code (e.g. Python script). What I need is a graphical interface of the original content.
Regarding proxying: that's doable, but will be slow depending on the network between my computer and the server (and the intermediate server, as server S does not have public IP address). Because I'm doing benchmark, this delay will observably impact the result.


I had some leftover Black Walnut and found a few nice pieces of Bubinga, the legs were cut than shaped with a rasp and files.
The joints are mortise and tenon.
The top has 4 layers of GF Arm-A-Seal, followed by several coats of wax to polish the finish.
Overall, it was a painless and fun project.
Looks very very fine! Like the style and the wood very much.
I saw the first picture and thought…......what a nice looking table.
I saw the second picture with the table in it's surroundings and thought to myself…..this fits the spot perfectly.
Looks great, very nice finish. Nicely shaped legs.
Very nice! Great design and build.
Elegant looking table! Gorgeous walnut and great design, like the rounded corners and curved legs. Great job!
Thanks for the complements, it was a fun project to build.
I need a low profile entertainment center to match the table.


Tuebo C source for animating Windows bitmaps.
A simple graphical object library for Windows.
More improvements in the fourth release: A flicker-free DrawBitmap().
Better granularity- the code is a little smaller. Some minor tweaking.
use it six months from now when I've forgotten all this stuff.
o Add support for animating overlapping widgets.
so they are easier to remember and understand.
the Hollywood special-effects studios out of business then this is for you.
(such as rewriting PaintWidget). The creeping feature creature is upon me.
Docs don't really exist yet. As Obi-Wannabe said, "Use the source, Luke".
Refer to the accompanying WTEST program and the Widget sources.
it don't feel shy about sending me a note saying so.
for those with an adventurous spirit.
something eye-popping why not put it on a disk and send it to me?

Q: Is there any performance gain when using async in Data Access Layer? I have a doubt that is there any performance gain if I use Async feature in Data Access Layer as below :
public async Task<IEnumerable<TrnApplicant>> GetAllMemberApplicantsAsync(String webReferenceNumber)
{
    using (var context = new OnlineDataContext())
    {
        var applicant = await Task.Run(() => context.Applicants.First(
                app => app.RefNo.Equals(webReferenceNumber, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) );

        return GetApplicantsInGroup(applicant.ApplicantsGroupId);
    }
}

Also if not when does it make more sense?

A: Consider this.
You call someone and ask them to do something for you. While they do it, you wait on the line, waiting for them to say "It's done". This is synchronous work. The act of calling them "blocks" until they're done with the job, and then you can get back to whatever you were doing, afterwards.
The alternative, asynchronous way, would be for you to make the call, but instead of waiting on the phone you hang up, and do something else while they work. Once they call you back, saying "It's done", you go back to doing whatever you needed their results to do.
Now, if you have nothing to do while you wait, there will be absolutely no performance gain, instead quite the opposite. The overhead of having the other party call you back will instead add to the total amount of work to do.
So with the above description of asynchronous work, do you have anything your code could do while it waits for the data access layer to complete its job?
If not, then no, there would be no performance gain.
If yes, then there could be performance gains.

Now, having said all that, I read the comment below my answer, and then I re-read your code a bit more carefully, and I believe that you are not really taking advantage of proper asynchronous code here.
The best way would be for you to use some kind of system or code that does asynchronous I/O properly. Your code calls Task.Run, which is actually the same as just plunking a different person down in front of the phone, doing the waiting for you.
For instance, consider SqlCommand, which may be the actual code doing the talking to the database here, it has two interesting methods:

*

*SqlCommand.ExecuteReader

*SqlCommand.BeginExecuteReader
Now, if you call the first one, on a thread created with Task.Run, you are in effect still blocking, you're just asking someone else to do it for you.
The second, however, is as I described above.
So in your particular case I would try to avoid using Task.Run. Now, depending on the load of your server, there may be advantageous to do it like that, but if you can I would switch to using the asynchronous methods of the underlying objects to do it properly.

The first time I walked into Grand Central Station, images of the past flooded up before my eyes. The monumental spaces of the churches, cathedrals, palaces and courts of Italy, where I was born, reappeared. Then, as suddenly, I was transported into a world of private memories: the moment I arrived in America. The hustle and bustle of people of all walks of life coming and going in their public and private existences reminded me that this was a place of transit and transport in more ways than one.
As I stand inside the serenity and stability of the vast hall, I am awed by the building's visual splendor. The slanted shafts of light shooting down from the tall windows of the clearstory are as heavenly as the starry constellations pictured on the arched ceiling above. Everything is in motion in the midst of that great immobile space, balanced between transience and permanence, lightness and darkness, mass and void, commotion and silence. The intimacy of this immense public space is paradoxical but magnetic for exactly that reason. Like its name, it stands as a central symbol of American mobility. How many stories have passed through its halls? How many lives have embarked upon old or new paths through its gates? Not only for what it symbolizes, but for its poetic presence and dignity of spirit, I recall with gratitude the thwarting of the plan to tear it down by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
I decided to paint Grand Central, so I took tours of the station, viewing and photographing it from points above and below, becoming familiar with it in a way that transcended its everyday character. Then, in the studio, I painted from memory, using the camera's records as a springboard for my imagination, to paint an ode to that temple of American experience. While my paintings can never match the grandeur of that edifice, I hope they can impart the feelings of beauty and spirituality inspired in me and bring further appreciation for this icon of American architecture.
