Assuming you have written a schema using the above language in say
`mygame.fbs` (FlatBuffer Schema, though the extension doesn't matter),
you've generated a C++ header called `mygame_generated.h` using the
compiler (e.g. `flatc -c mygame.fbs`), you can now start using this in
your program by including the header. As noted, this header relies on
`flatbuffers/flatbuffers.h`, which should be in your include path.

### Writing in C++

To start creating a buffer, create an instance of `FlatBufferBuilder`
which will contain the buffer as it grows:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    FlatBufferBuilder fbb;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before we serialize a Monster, we need to first serialize any objects
that are contained there-in, i.e. we serialize the data tree using
depth first, pre-order traversal. This is generally easy to do on
any tree structures. For example:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    auto name = fbb.CreateString("MyMonster");

    unsigned char inv[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
    auto inventory = fbb.CreateVector(inv, 10);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`CreateString` and `CreateVector` serialize these two built-in
datatypes, and return offsets into the serialized data indicating where
they are stored, such that `Monster` below can refer to them.

`CreateString` can also take an `std::string`, or a `const char *` with
an explicit length, and is suitable for holding UTF-8 and binary
data if needed.

`CreateVector` can also take an `std::vector`. The
offset it returns is typed, i.e. can only be used to set fields of the
correct type below. To create a vector of struct objects (which will
be stored as contiguous memory in the buffer, use `CreateVectorOfStructs`
instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    Vec3 vec(1, 2, 3);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`Vec3` is the first example of code from our generated
header. Structs (unlike tables) translate to simple structs in C++, so
we can construct them in a familiar way.

We have now serialized the non-scalar components of of the monster
example, so we could create the monster something like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    auto mloc = CreateMonster(fbb, &vec, 150, 80, name, inventory, Color_Red, 0, Any_NONE);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note that we're passing `150` for the `mana` field, which happens to be the
default value: this means the field will not actually be written to the buffer,
since we'll get that value anyway when we query it. This is a nice space
savings, since it is very common for fields to be at their default. It means
we also don't need to be scared to add fields only used in a minority of cases,
since they won't bloat up the buffer sizes if they're not actually used.

We do something similarly for the union field `test` by specifying a `0` offset
and the `NONE` enum value (part of every union) to indicate we don't actually
want to write this field. You can use `0` also as a default for other
non-scalar types, such as strings, vectors and tables.

Tables (like `Monster`) give you full flexibility on what fields you write
(unlike `Vec3`, which always has all fields set because it is a `struct`).
If you want even more control over this (i.e. skip fields even when they are
not default), instead of the convenient `CreateMonster` call we can also
build the object field-by-field manually:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    MonsterBuilder mb(fbb);
    mb.add_pos(&vec);
    mb.add_hp(80);
    mb.add_name(name);
    mb.add_inventory(inventory);
    auto mloc = mb.Finish();
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We start with a temporary helper class `MonsterBuilder` (which is
defined in our generated code also), then call the various `add_`
methods to set fields, and `Finish` to complete the object. This is
pretty much the same code as you find inside `CreateMonster`, except
we're leaving out a few fields. Fields may also be added in any order,
though orderings with fields of the same size adjacent
to each other most efficient in size, due to alignment. You should
not nest these Builder classes (serialize your
data in pre-order).

Regardless of whether you used `CreateMonster` or `MonsterBuilder`, you
now have an offset to the root of your data, and you can finish the
buffer using:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    FinishMonsterBuffer(fbb, mloc);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The buffer is now ready to be stored somewhere, sent over the network,
be compressed, or whatever you'd like to do with it. You can access the
start of the buffer with `fbb.GetBufferPointer()`, and it's size from
`fbb.GetSize()`.

`samples/sample_binary.cpp` is a complete code sample similar to
the code above, that also includes the reading code below.

### Reading in C++

If you've received a buffer from somewhere (disk, network, etc.) you can
directly start traversing it using:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    auto monster = GetMonster(buffer_pointer);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`monster` is of type `Monster *`, and points to somewhere inside your
buffer. If you look in your generated header, you'll see it has
convenient accessors for all fields, e.g.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    assert(monster->hp() == 80);
    assert(monster->mana() == 150);  // default
    assert(strcmp(monster->name()->c_str(), "MyMonster") == 0);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These should all be true. Note that we never stored a `mana` value, so
it will return the default.

To access sub-objects, in this case the `Vec3`:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    auto pos = monster->pos();
    assert(pos);
    assert(pos->z() == 3);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If we had not set the `pos` field during serialization, it would be
`NULL`.

Similarly, we can access elements of the inventory array:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    auto inv = monster->inventory();
    assert(inv);
    assert(inv->Get(9) == 9);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Direct memory access

As you can see from the above examples, all elements in a buffer are
accessed through generated accessors. This is because everything is
stored in little endian format on all platforms (the accessor
performs a swap operation on big endian machines), and also because
the layout of things is generally not known to the user.

For structs, layout is deterministic and guaranteed to be the same
accross platforms (scalars are aligned to their
own size, and structs themselves to their largest member), and you
are allowed to access this memory directly by using `sizeof()` and
`memcpy` on the pointer to a struct, or even an array of structs.

To compute offsets to sub-elements of a struct, make sure they
are a structs themselves, as then you can use the pointers to
figure out the offset without having to hardcode it. This is
handy for use of arrays of structs with calls like `glVertexAttribPointer`
in OpenGL or similar APIs.

It is important to note is that structs are still little endian on all
machines, so only use tricks like this if you can guarantee you're not
shipping on a big endian machine (an `assert(FLATBUFFERS_LITTLEENDIAN)`
would be wise).

### Access of untrusted buffers

The generated accessor functions access fields over offsets, which is
very quick. These offsets are not verified at run-time, so a malformed
buffer could cause a program to crash by accessing random memory.

When you're processing large amounts of data from a source you know (e.g.
your own generated data on disk), this is acceptable, but when reading
data from the network that can potentially have been modified by an
attacker, this is undesirable.

For this reason, you can optionally use a buffer verifier before you
access the data. This verifier will check all offsets, all sizes of
fields, and null termination of strings to ensure that when a buffer
is accessed, all reads will end up inside the buffer.

Each root type will have a verification function generated for it,
e.g. for `Monster`, you can call:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
	bool ok = VerifyMonsterBuffer(Verifier(buf, len));
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if `ok` is true, the buffer is safe to read.

Besides untrusted data, this function may be useful to call in debug
mode, as extra insurance against data being corrupted somewhere along
the way.

While verifying a buffer isn't "free", it is typically faster than
a full traversal (since any scalar data is not actually touched),
and since it may cause the buffer to be brought into cache before
reading, the actual overhead may be even lower than expected.

In specialized cases where a denial of service attack is possible,
the verifier has two additional constructor arguments that allow
you to limit the nesting depth and total amount of tables the
verifier may encounter before declaring the buffer malformed.

## Text & schema parsing

Using binary buffers with the generated header provides a super low
overhead use of FlatBuffer data. There are, however, times when you want
to use text formats, for example because it interacts better with source
control, or you want to give your users easy access to data.

Another reason might be that you already have a lot of data in JSON
format, or a tool that generates JSON, and if you can write a schema for
it, this will provide you an easy way to use that data directly.

(see the schema documentation for some specifics on the JSON format
accepted).

There are two ways to use text formats:

### Using the compiler as a conversion tool

This is the preferred path, as it doesn't require you to add any new
code to your program, and is maximally efficient since you can ship with
binary data. The disadvantage is that it is an extra step for your
users/developers to perform, though you might be able to automate it.

    flatc -b myschema.fbs mydata.json

This will generate the binary file `mydata_wire.bin` which can be loaded
as before.

### Making your program capable of loading text directly

This gives you maximum flexibility. You could even opt to support both,
i.e. check for both files, and regenerate the binary from text when
required, otherwise just load the binary.

This option is currently only available for C++, or Java through JNI.

As mentioned in the section "Building" above, this technique requires
you to link a few more files into your program, and you'll want to include
`flatbuffers/idl.h`.

Load text (either a schema or json) into an in-memory buffer (there is a
convenient `LoadFile()` utility function in `flatbuffers/util.h` if you
wish). Construct a parser:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    flatbuffers::Parser parser;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now you can parse any number of text files in sequence:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
    parser.Parse(text_file.c_str());
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This works similarly to how the command-line compiler works: a sequence
of files parsed by the same `Parser` object allow later files to
reference definitions in earlier files. Typically this means you first
load a schema file (which populates `Parser` with definitions), followed
by one or more JSON files.

As optional argument to `Parse`, you may specify a null-terminated list of
include paths. If not specified, any include statements try to resolve from
the current directory.

If there were any parsing errors, `Parse` will return `false`, and
`Parser::err` contains a human readable error string with a line number
etc, which you should present to the creator of that file.

After each JSON file, the `Parser::fbb` member variable is the
`FlatBufferBuilder` that contains the binary buffer version of that
file, that you can access as described above.

`samples/sample_text.cpp` is a code sample showing the above operations.

### Threading

None of the code is thread-safe, by design. That said, since currently a
FlatBuffer is read-only and entirely `const`, reading by multiple threads
is possible.

Q: Having trouble with pointers and 2D arrays NOTE: This code cannot use array indices [ ] [ ]. Only pointers can be used. [ ] [ ] are okay to use only for array declaration.
I am comparing an array of same size as of array image called copyArray and array image itself. First I initialize the copyArray with all 0s using pointers which I checked using printf and works correctly.
function colorPtr simply checks for all the 1s in array image and calls function distinctCountPointer.
function distinctCountPointer checks for all 1s that are connected(from up, down, left, right or diagonal) to each other and groups them by giving a unique integer. (See output(that should be) for a clear idea).
I was able to do this code without using pointers, but I'm having trouble using pointers. Any help would be appreciated.
void colorPtr(int* image){
    int copyArray[IMAGE_SIZE][IMAGE_SIZE];
    int i, j;

    for(i=0; i<IMAGE_SIZE; i++)
        for(j=0; j<IMAGE_SIZE; j++){
            *(*(copyArray + i) + j) = 0;
            //printf("%d ", *(*(copyArray +i) + j));
        }

    // going to all adjacent positions and running distinctCount function
    int counter = 1;
    for(i=0;i<IMAGE_SIZE;i++){
        for(j=0;j<IMAGE_SIZE;j++){
            if(*(copyArray + i * IMAGE_SIZE + j)==0 && *(image + i * IMAGE_SIZE + j)!=0){ //error line
                distinctCountPointer(image, i, j, copyArray, counter);
                counter++;
            }
        }
    }
}

function colorPtr then calls distinctCountPointer. This function simply gives 1s that are connected to each other from up, down, left, right and diagonals with a unique number.
void distinctCountPointer(int * image, int i, int j, int * copyArray, int counter){
    *(copyArray + i*10 + j) = 1;
    *(image + i*10 + j) = counter;

    int new_i, new_j;
    for(new_i =-1;new_i <2;new_i ++){
        for(new_j = -1;new_j < 2; new_j++){
            if(new_i  != 0 || new_j != 0){
                if(checkIndex(i+new_i, j+new_j)){
                    if(if(*(copyArray + i * IMAGE_SIZE + j)==0 && *(image + i * IMAGE_SIZE + j)!=0){
                        distinctCountPointer(image, i+new_i , j+new_j, copyArray, counter);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

void printImgArray(int array[IMAGE_SIZE][IMAGE_SIZE])
{

    printf("------ Image Contents -------\n");
    int i, j;
    for (i=0; i<IMAGE_SIZE; i++)
    {
    for (j=0; j<IMAGE_SIZE; j++)
        printf("%02d, ",array[i][j]);
    printf("\n");
    }
    printf("-----------------------------\n");
}

int checkIndex(int i, int j){
    return i >= 0 && j>=0 && i< IMAGE_SIZE && j< IMAGE_SIZE;
}

int main(){
int cellImg_[IMAGE_SIZE][IMAGE_SIZE]={{0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,1},\

The next requirements are a bit more obvious....Depth (deeper will hold bigger pans) and width. Sinks will match the base cabinets of 24, 30, 33 and 38 inches.
I never understood the reason. Dividing a sink in this way is inefficient for washing bigger pots. It was popular, probably because the manufacturers didn't market a large single. Franke was the first, but at $1200 it wasn't exactly a bargain.


Becoming a business owner is a very exciting and bold step. With a new business comes many options. From location to staffing, there are many components to weigh and consider. One of the most important of these is funding. While obtaining financing can seem like a frightening process, it is important you realize how many options you do have for funding your small business.
Micro loan: These small loans are for business start-ups. They are typically $35,000 and under in amount. These loans can be easier to obtain than traditional bank loans depending on your proximity to a local lender. Sometimes the applicant must go through training and business planning education before obtaining the loan.
Franchise financing: If you are opening a franchise you may be able to obtain a start-up loan from the overall franchise company. Also, if the franchise company does not help you financially themselves they can help you obtain a loan from a bank with a pre-established relationship with the company.
Development Financing: This form of funding provides your business with long-term, fixed rate financing for your major fixed assets, including land and buildings. This applies to small business ventures in developing communities.
Import and Export loans: These are loans available for small businesses that have been operating for at least a year which are facing difficulty in obtaining reasonable financing. In this program lenders are encouraged to offer a loan to the small business with the guarantee that they will be repaid 90% of the loan amount (Which cannot exceed one million dollars).
If you are interested in obtaining any of the above loan and financing options for your business it is important you consider getting support from an experienced legal professional.

As some people probably know by now, Troll and Toad has put most of the Boundaries Crossed set up for pre-orders. Heading into the pre-orders, there were three Pokemon in the set that I felt would be really strong and I made sure to pre-order these cards. These three Pokemon are Landorus EX, Keldeo EX, and Cresselia EX.
The first two have received a lot of hype heading into the Cities format, but Cresselia EX has been a card largely ignored by the player base, and I am not really sure why. The more and more I examine these three cards, the more I feel that these are three well balanced EX's that will join the ranks of Mewtwo EX, Darkrai EX, and Rayquaza EX in the king's court of EX Pokemon.
First, let's take a look at Cresselia EX"s basic stats. It's a Psychic type Basic Pokemon with 170 HP and the standard weakness to other Psychic type Pokemon. It has an Ability, Sparkling Dust, which states, "At any time between turns, heal 10 damage from this Pokemon." It only has one attack, Psycho Defender, which costs PCCC which does 90 damage while also getting rid of Cresselia's Psychic Weakness during your opponent's next turn.
The first thing that really stands out about this card is its Ability, which can allow Cresselia EX to become a very strong tank Pokemon. While this Ability is very strong in its own right, turning Cresselia EX into a 3hko instead of a 2hko against a Pokemon like Darkrai EX, I don't think it is strong enough on its own. To bring Cresselia EX to its fullest tank potential, it needs to be paired with other damage prevention and healing cards. The main cards that I would look to play with Cresselia are Eviolite, Potion, and Gold Potion.
Its attack is also really good, especially when paired with healing cards, as you will be able to 2hko every EX Pokemon except Darkrai EX, while forcing your opponent into 3hko, 4hko, possibly even 5hko's with all the healing cards you would also play with Cresselia.
Removing weakness from itself makes this card perhaps the strongest Mewtwo EX counter in the game. There is the possibility that your opponent can play the cutesy little move of playing a double Pokemon Catcher to get around this, but this forces your opponent to waste valuable Pokemon Catcher resources and is a move your opponent will probably only be able to pull off once in any given game.
And this is the beauty of Cresselia EX, if such a thing is to happen, you just go into the Mewtwo war with a new Cresselia EX, as it isn't that difficult to power up as the majority of its Energy requirement is colorless.
As its attack only does 90 damage, I would look to play a healthy Tool Scrapper count in any deck playing Cresselia EX. Tool Scrapper keeps your opponents EX"s in 2hko range (except for Darkrai of course) and can also be used to counter Garbodor, as that evil pile of garbage shuts off Cresselia's Ability.
The strongest counter to Cresselia EX in the current meta game is going to be Rayquaza EX, as it has the Ability to ohko Cresselia EX with Dragon Burst, completely nullifying the tank strategy. The other main EX threats for the card are going to be Darkrai EX, as it resists Psychic and Keldeo EX, as it is able to accelerate damage with its attack as well, which can help to nullify the tank strategy.
Now that all of the basic strengths and weaknesses about using Cresselia EX are out of the way, it's time to start looking at ways in which a deck built around Cresselia EX could be done.
A deck that uses Cresselia EX is going to want to be able to power it up in one turn, as leaving Cresselia on the field and not attacking is not a good strategy as it becomes very easy to knock out with Mewtwo EX at that point. This means you will want to play Cresselia EX with some form of Energy Acceleration. Eelektrik is an option, but I question the viability of Eelektrik decks heading into next format as Landorus EX makes such quick work of any Tynamo/Eelektrik that get onto the field. Ho-Oh EX or Dark Patch in conjunction with Energy Switch is going to be too inconsistent for a card that has such steep Energy cost and the condition that you pretty much need to be attacking with it when it's on the field, so those are also non-options.
That leaves us with Blastoise BC and Emboar BLW as our two options for Energy Acceleration. I think Blastoise is the better option because it is easier to get out a Blastoise thanks to Squirtle's Ability, and it also is able to take advantage of Keldeo EX to get Blastoise out of the active spot.
Using Blastoise means we will have unlimited water energy acceleration from the hand, which means a somewhat high Water count should be played in the deck to allow for you to hit three Water often enough in a turn to power up Cresselia EX in one turn. Psychic Energy will also be needed, I think somewhere around five should be good for the deck.
I don't think Cresselia EX and Blastoise by themselves are going to be enough to form a viable deck, and they will need some other partners to work on getting the job done. We are using Psychic and Water energy, so we can take advantage of any Pokemon that has those two Energy requirements. Rayquaza EX is an opposing threat, so it would be good to find some counters to it to pair with Cresselia EX so as not to get ran over by a Rayquaza EX.
Kyurem NVI – Kyurem would be a good counter to most evolution based decks (with the exception of Squirtle because of its Ability). A few turns of using Glaciate against an Eelektrik deck for example will clear their field of any Eelektrik in play, which makes Kyurem a strong counter to Eelektrik decks which could help this deck against Rayquaza EX, as the card cannot function well without its energy acceleration. The spread damage can also be really strong in setting up knock outs for your other Pokemon.
Articuno NXD – Articuno is a water type Basic Pokemon with 120 HP, and its first attack, Ice Beam costs WCC and does 50 damage, flip a coin, if heads the defending Pokemon is paralyzed. Articuno could be paired in this deck with Victini to act as a Darkrai EX counter and also a general staller against most decks in the format. The idea of having a stall Pokemon to put together with Cresselia EX isn't a bad one. If Cresselia EX gets too much damage on it, you can work on stalling your opponent by paralyzing their Pokemon so that they cannot attack to buy time for Cresselia to recover some of its HP.
Mewtwo EX – Cresselia EX could have problems with Keldeo EX's that get too big and accelerate damage too fast on Cresselia. Mewtwo EX is very strong counter to Keldeo EX's that get built up with too much Energy, and if your opponent decides to go Mewtwo EX to counter your Mewtwo EX, you then just switch over to Cresselia EX to finish off the Mewtwo war.
Regigigas EX – This card is really good against Blastoise decks. You can eat up any Squirtle that your opponent has in play with Giga Power. From there, Regigigas puts the Keldeo player in an awkward position. If they hit into it for any significant damage, their Keldeo is just going to get knocked out on the next turn with Raging Hammer. If they build up a Keldeo EX large enough to ohko Regigigas EX, then you would be able to knock that Keldeo EX out with Mewtwo EX very easily.
Kyogre EX – This Pokemon would fill the same role as Kyurem for the most part. In some ways it is better, being able to instantaneously knock out two Tynamo or two Oddish is really great, and getting off two Dual Splash on EX's is defeinitely stronger than a couple of Glaciates. However, I am not sold on Kyogre EX. A lot of Basics of pre-evolutions right now have 60 HP, which means it will take either two Glaciate or two Dual Splash to knock them out. I prefer Glaciate over Dual Splash in these situations as I would be able to spread damage to the support Pokemon as well as my opponent's attackers. Honestly, in such a deck I would love to play both Kyurem and Kyogre EX, but I feel as space would be too much of an issue to make this happen.
Blissey DEX – Blissey has an Ability, Softboiled, which allows you to flip a coin and if heads, heal 30 damage from your Active Pokemon. The idea would be to place 2-3 Blissey on your bench and try to use them as additional healing for Cresselia EX. This probably takes up too much room in the deck to be a very viable option.
Sigilyph DRX – This deck can setup a Sigilyph easier than most, and Sigilyph is still a strong card to play down against EX heavy decks.
Bouffalant DRX – This gives a three Energy attacker that is able to ohko a Shaymin EX. Is this card even needed when you can knock out Shaymin EX with Keldeo EX for the same cost, while still being able to knock out an Eviolited Shaymin EX just by attaching another Energy?
Kyurem DV – It seems as though most people have written off ever using Kyurem's second attack in a deck, but low and behold, here is a deck concept that can make great use of it. Blizzard costs WPCC and does 90 damage, plus 10 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon. This card would make another strong counter against Rayquaza EX, giving you an option to ohko it. The card can also ohko White Kyurem EX and Black Kyurem EX, which could be a big deal for this deck, as one of them can ohko any EX Pokemon in the game with their Ace Spec.
With all of the above factors taken into account, here is what I am thinking of running in the deck attacker wise and Energy wise to try to bring this concept together, as well as the healing cards I would like to play in the deck.
This already puts the list for this deck at 42 cards, which leaves just 18 spots remaining in the deck for everything else it needs. At least 13 of these slots would be dedicated to Supporters, so that only leaves 5 spots left for my Pokemon Search as well as other tech trainer cards like Pokemon Catcher, Switch, Energy Retrieval, and Super Rod.
It's very clear from the get go in making this deck that I am going to have to start making some sacrifices. Are there any Pokemon techs that aren't really needed? That will need to be examined. Do I cut back on my number of additional healing cards? I don't think the Energy can be scaled back too far, but 14 seems like it could be a comfortable number in a Blastoise deck, but this does make the deck less consistent in being able to setup Cresselia EX in one turn.
Over the next few weeks, I am going to be throwing this deck through various testing to try to figure out the answers to what and what isn't needed in the deck, as I think a Cresselia EX centric deck has the potential to be really strong in the current meta game.
Cresselia EX will also see some play in other decks as more of a one-of tech, in which the deck's strategy isn't really all that built around it. The decks that use Cresselia EX are all going to be Energy Acceleration or Manipulation decks.
Eelektrik and Blastoise decks that opt to play Prism Energy can tech in a Cresselia EX as their Mewtwo EX counter, and as just another attacker that they hope can exchange favorable with an opponents EX with its Ability reducing damage in between turns.
The card could also see play in both Hydreigon and Klinklang variants as their Mewtwo EX counter.
As I said in the intro, Cresselia EX was one of the three EX's I made sure to pre-order from this set, as I feel it has the potential to be really good. If you haven't pre-ordered them yet, I recommend you do so now, as I can't see it really getting much cheaper than it is now at $8.99. The card has some of the best tank potential in the format and it is the best hard counter to Mewtwo EX that we have received so far. If you have some extra money on hand, you might want to look at buying a playset of the Full Art Cresselia EX's. I think the Full Art is going to take claim over the title of "Most Beautiful Card In Format", stripping the title away from the Full Art Mew EX.
I am pretty excited about Cresselia EX too! Other than in Klinklang or Hydreigon, I don't see all that much promise for putting Cresselia EX in other decks (except for maybe with Gardevoir). I'm surprised you didn't bring up Gardevoir with Energy Switch! What do you think about that?
I really am not a fan of the Gardevoir idea. If they knock out your Gradevoir, you can easily be left with a Cresselia that can't attack. The deck as a whole seems too vulnerable to Mewtwo for my liking.
awesome website man! i like the easy navigation from page to page.
You forgot to mention the best partner for Cresselia EX and Mewtwo EX.. Gardevoir! for only 2 psy energy your hitting for 90 with cresselia or 80 with mewtwo and with energy switch you can easily transition between the two. Gardevoir is a very weak stage 2 but unless your hitting it with a mewtwo its still a 2hko and you can just keep swinging with a huge mewtwo or cresselia and max potion the gardevoir.
I would like to go over my deck list with you sometime if your up to it.
Thank You! I've been doing my best to try to make this site look pretty and still being easy to navigate. I hope that I've been somewhat successful in this, as it was a big part of my college major looking at this type of stuff. If you have any suggestions on anything that could be improved with the site, I'd love to hear it.
As far as Cresselia EX with Gardevoir and Mewtwo EX, I'm still not exactly sure how I feel about the deck. One of my friends had the deck built, and I wasn't having too difficult of a time being able to beat it with my Ho-Oh EX deck just using an aggressive Mewtwo EX strategy, along with some attacking from Terrakion and Ho-Oh mixed in to shake it up. Mewtwo EX can counter Cresselia EX fairly well, with double catcher plays, or just x-balling it for absurds amount of damage with X-ball.
The deck did feel like it was at least a Tier 2 concept in the games we played against it. I could see it being really strong if the list can be nailed down for the deck. I think that's going to be highly important, just because of how fragile Stage 2 decks can be.
I'd be down for going over the list with you at any time too!

Indian IT Firms Sweeten Outsourcing Deals By Absorbing Clients' Employees
An increase in outsourced tech jobs may favor Indian firms, but spell trouble for jobs in the developed world.
By Debasis Mohapatra February 1, 2021
Reason why India is favored for outsourcing, according to a 2020 report by Goldman Sachs, has to do with lower wages for Indian technology developers when compared with wages in developed economies. (Smartworks Coworking/Unsplash)
BENGALURU, India — Foreign firms outsourcing jobs is big business for India's IT firms, with revenue for the sector projected by rating agency ICRA to increase by up to 9 percent in 2021-22.
Indian Information Technology firms posted healthy growth last quarter, backed by an increase in the number of outsourcing deals with foreign clients. Many deals came with "rebadging" — the practice of transferring employees from one organization to another. While this trend is not new in the IT sector, it has increased during the pandemic.
For foreign firms, it is an easy way to offload excess staff; for Indian firms, it is a way to win contracts.
Indian multinational corporation Infosys signed its largest IT outsourcing contract, worth around $3.2 billion, with German automotive firm Daimler in December 2020, absorbing about 600 Daimler employees as part of the strategic partnership deal.
Software firm Wipro, in the same month, signed a $700 million digital and IT partnership deal with German wholesaler Metro AG. Some 1,300 Metro employees will move to the Indian firm.
The increasing pace of rebadging deals indicates that global businesses are facing cost pressure due to the pandemic, prompting them to opt for outsourcing technology work to Indian service providers, as well transferring employees.
One reason why India is favored for outsourcing, according to a 2020 report by Goldman Sachs, has to do with lower wages for Indian technology developers when compared with wages in developed economies.
"The average wage differential for technology developers in India and the U.S. remains high at more than 5X. This has helped drive the movement of technology roles to India, particularly at a time when COVID-19 has resulted in the expansion of the WFA (work from anywhere) environment," said the Goldman Sachs report.
The pandemic led to a shift to work from home across many sectors, including IT in India.
Currently, 96 percent of employees of Tata Consultancy Services, India's largest IT services firm, work from home. At Infosys, the number is 97 percent, and at Wipro, 98 percent of staffers work remotely.
Such widespread adoption of "work from anywhere" operating model without any dip in productivity and security breach has convinced global enterprises to outsource more IT work to Indian service providers.
India accounts for nearly 55 percent of the $200 billion-$250 billion global services sourcing in 2019-20, a report by the India Brand Equity Foundation states.
In geographical terms, the U.S. remains the key market for Indian technology firms, contributing more than 50 percent of their revenues. Europe contributes around 20 percent to 25 percent of revenue to Indian IT firms.
"Offshoring has definitely increased, which is positive for Indian service providers," said Supaul Chanda, vice-president at Experis. "A number of new clients have been added, and global enterprises are also looking at increasing capacity or setting up new centers."
Both Infosys and Wipro's share of offshore efforts — the percentage of work executed from offshore against the revenue it generates — increased as of December 2020. Infosys' share reportedly was 74.8 percent, compared with 72.3 percent a year earlier. Wipro's share was 52.7 percent, up from 46.8 percent a year earlier.

Mid-tier IT firms also saw growth.
L&T Infotech's revenue share from offshore efforts at the end of December was 55.7 percent, compared with 51 percent a year earlier.
India follows an April to March financial year.
Some analysts, however, are skeptical about outsourcing, due to the threat of job losses in the countries where these deals originate. Not all of a company's outsourced employees get absorbed by IT firms, and some are eventually let go.
"Enterprises in the U.S. and Europe are facing cost pressure due to the Covid-19-induced economic downturn," said Pareekh Jain, an outsourcing adviser and founder of Pareekh Consulting. "So, many firms are taking these cost-cutting measures to survive. In hard times, there is less resistance to such rebadging deals. The only thing is that these companies are trying to do it as humanely as possible.
"However, there is always an element of redundancy in every rebadging deal, which may lead to job losses after a few years," Jain said.

The Pandemic Has Made Us Forget How Scary It is to Walk the Streets Alone
CW: the murder of Sarah Everard, mentions of assault and violence against women, trans, and non-binary people.
The disappearance of Sarah Everard came as a shock to the nation – and yet, it shows an all-too-familiar fear for women up and down the UK. Everard went missing on March 3rd while walking home from a friend's house. A Metropolitan police officer has been arrested on charges of kidnapping and murder, and her remains have sadly been identified.
Ask any woman, trans, or non-binary person you know, and they will describe in detail the fear they feel walking the streets at night – at any time, in fact. We have precautions built into us from a young age – hold your keys between your fingers, don't walk home alone after dark, 'text me when you get home, so I know you're safe'. However, over the last 12 months when events have been cancelled and working from home has become the norm, it has been easy to forget that sickening fear. But the news, and the stories shared all over social media recently, have been a stark reminder of the reality that could await use when we leave the house.
But considering life in lockdown, I've realised that it was always there. Daily walks have become nothing short of a lifeline for everyone; they are often the only respite we get from the same four walls day in, day out. But it never occurred to me to go out for a walk after the sun went down. In the winter, this usually meant sacrificing fresh air on any day I was working past 4pm. It seemed normal, and I didn't think twice about it until I walked to my friend's house between lockdowns for dinner one night and remembered in a flash why I had been unconsciously avoiding these situations.
For most of the pandemic, I've lived in a small, safe village. I go for walks every day, but this once innocent activity has been fundamentally changed by the news of Sarah Everard's death. Even in broad daylight I find myself wondering if I really need to put on my headphones, or if that route is really the safest one I can take.
News sites and social media feeds have been a haunting reminder for women across the UK of a feeling that many had been slowly forgetting about. This reminder was only strengthened by the recent Guardian report that 97% of 18-24-year-old women in the UK have experienced sexual assault. Suddenly, dreams of nights out post-lockdown were dampened with the usual question. 'How will I get home?' 'Are those shoes safe to wear if I need to run?' As people share their own stories, there's one thought that seems to unite women today – it could have been me.
This weekend, vigils took place on doorstops across Britain to remember Sarah Everard and show solidarity with victims of assault and violence. Countless articles will be published; some directed at women on how to stay safe when you're walking alone at night, others directed at men to teach them how not to intimidate women in the streets. We can only hope for a national wake-up call that will make the streets safer for everyone, so that when we do get out of lockdown we don't have to fear for our safety every time we leave the house.

First Day New York
On the emotionally fraught scale, the first day of school ranks high for a lot of kids. For children living in NYC shelters, it can be traumatic.
Or joyful. That's the mission of First Day New York: through the generosity and care of fellow New Yorkers, the first day can be a happy one, when children arrive with simple but crucial gear such as new shoes, school supplies, and a backpack.
First Day has no office, no staff, no overhead at all. Every penny goes to helping the kids. You can make a tax-deductible donation or volunteer. This year, they have a found a sponsor for every child.
But they still need money for school uniforms ($25), supplies ($50), and backpacks (filled with a new outfit and shoes). Details are here.
What better way to help kids pull themselves up by their bootstraps than by giving them boots?

Q: Save charts with PHP Spreadsheet 1.2.1 I am reading an XLSX file as a template and fill out a couple of existing worksheets. Some other worksheet in the file that I don't touch contains links to the updated worksheets and also charts based on these linked cells.
When I save the template as a new XLSX file after filling in the data the charts are gone from the other worksheet that I don't even touch.
I added an "includeCharts" statement to the writer but that doesn't help either
$writer = IOFactory::createWriter($spreadsheet, 'Xlsx');
$writer->setIncludeCharts(true);
$writer->save($systemPath);

Any idea what I need to do in order to avoid losing the charts?

A: Found the answer here. The last comment from nic86 (4 days ago) did the trick. But I only got it working for xlsx which is good enough for me.
Excel from template didn't copy charts. #382
Subsequently I got stuck with another issue: If you want to have charts based on dynamic named ranges: bad luck. There is a bug that has been noted a while ago but nothing seems to happen. Also here: No response to my question ...
This is the bug description: Defined Name Range from template file not copying to file #462
To be more precise:
This works (static range)
 $spreadsheet->addNamedRange( new NamedRange('DRange_AvgVarInt_modified', $worksheet, 'A1', true) );

This doesn't work (dynamic range)
$spreadsheet->addNamedRange( new NamedRange('DRange_AvgVarRate', $worksheet, '=OFFSET(midlayer!$B$7,0,0,1,MIN(BaseData!$C$2,36))', true) );

The error message is:
Exception: Invalid cell coordinate 36))

Apparently PHPSpreadsheet tries to resolve the expression instead of simply copying it. Any idea about a work around? Or could anyone provide a bug fix. I am not a good enough coder to do it myself unfortunately. But I would really hate to have to go back to static ranges ...

A: The work around is actually to dynamically create static ranges programmatically. No other way unfortunately. In my case my charts are fully dynamic, i.e. the base table's length is dynamic, too.
I tried to get that resolved with PHP Spreadsheet by manipulating the chart dynamically like this. It basically worked but part of my changes were overwritten afterwards so it wasn't really successful.Now I decided to give up: I will create all of my charts programmatically now because changing a chart from a template has too many limitations if you are using dynamic charts.
foreach ($worksheet->getChartCollection() as $chart) {
if ($chart instanceof Chart) {
    $plotArea = $chart->getPlotArea(); //get the plot area of the chart (one thing)
    $dataSeries = $plotArea->getPlotGroup(); //array of all the data series
    $dataManipulated = false;
    foreach ($dataSeries as &$dataSer) { //by reference to change the values deep down!!
        $val = $dataSer->getPlotValues();
        foreach ( $val as &$dataSeriesValues) {
            $dataSource = $dataSeriesValues->getDataSource();
            $dataValues = $dataSeriesValues->getDataValues();
            $dataValuesLength = count($dataValues);
            for ($y=$pointCount; $y < $dataValuesLength; $y++) {
                unset($dataValues[$y]);
            }
            if ( strpos($dataSource, 'DRange_Dates_' . $tf ) !== false ) {
                $dataSeriesValues->setDataSource( $sheetName . '!D2:' . $xC . '2' );
            } elseif ( strpos($dataSource, 'DRange_AvgVarInt_modified_' . $tf ) !== false ) {
                $dataSeriesValues->setDataSource( 'midlayer!B10:' . $xCML . '10' );
            } elseif ( strpos($dataSource, 'DRange_AvgVarRate_' . $tf ) !== false ) {
                $dataSeriesValues->setDataSource( 'midlayer!B7:' . $xCML . '7' );

If you want you charts to look a little nicer you run into the next obstacle. You cannot set the color scheme of the charts youself.
class Theme extends WriterPart

contains this
private static $colourScheme = [
    'dk2' => '1F497D',
    'lt2' => 'EEECE1',
    'accent1' => '4F81BD',
    'accent2' => 'C0504D',
    'accent3' => '9BBB59',
    'accent4' => '8064A2',
    'accent5' => '4BACC6',
    'accent6' => 'F79646',
    'hlink' => '0000FF',
    'folHlink' => '800080',
];

This is the standard Office color scheme in hex. Using this your charts will look like everbody else's charts. If you don't want that you can't change it except for a hard coded change which of course isn't the best choice. But I didn't find another way. If anyone has a better way please tell me. Thanks. It would also be great to use several color schemes instead of just one. Didn't find a way to do this either unfortunately.

Book Review: The Prose Factory—Literary Life in Britain since 1918 by DJ Taylor
by Jane Shilling	/ January 21, 2016 / Leave a comment
Vintage, £25
The startling proliferation of creative writing courses in the early 21st century suggests that the idea of a literary career has lost none of its romantic appeal, but DJ Taylor's compendious account of English literary life in the past 100 years offers an antidote to the notion that writing is a glamorous or profitable trade.
From the muscular Georgian poet and editor, JC Squire ("effectively destitute") to the post-war novelist Julian McLaren-Ross, the model for X Trapnel in Anthony Powell's Dance to the Music of Time ("on his uppers") and the former Angry Young Man, John Braine ("Ate his final Christmas dinner in a community centre, surrounded by down-and-outs"), Taylor chronicles the lows (and rarer highs) of literary life since the First World War. The starting points of his study are the voluminous questions, "What is 'literary culture'? And what is 'taste'?" Examining these intractable issues from every imaginable perspective—academic, critical, journalistic, authorial and commercial (the passages on how writers earn a living make grimly fascinating reading)—Taylor conjures pungent portraits of the century's major (and minor) literary figures.
"Indefatigable" and "cheery" are recurrent adjectives, and his book is both, enlivened by a bracing strain of literary bitchery. The tone is predominantly masculine (the chapter titled—after the 1979 Dire Straits song—Lady Writers is unlikely to win Taylor many female admirers) and, as he approaches the contemporary literary scene, cautious to the point of evasiveness. The contemporary writer, he concludes, is beset by all the "Enemies of Promise" defined by Cyril Connolly in his 1938 literary autobiography. It is an observation both melancholy and strangely reassuring.

Ole Miss Student Who Hung Noose on Statue Indicted on Civil Rights Charges

The man who tied a noose around the neck of a statue of James Meredith at Ole Miss last year will face federal civil rights charges, the Justice Department announced Friday, as the prank was intended to "intimidate" black students and faculty at the school.
Graeme Phillip Harris will face federal charges for hanging a noose and an outdated Georgia flag around the statue of James Meredith, who in 1962 became the first black student to attend Ole Miss. According to the Justice Department, Harris "conspired with others under the cover of darkness" to execute the prank, which the indictment said was intended to "threaten and intimidate" black students at the University.
"This shameful and ignorant act is an insult to all Americans and a violation of our most strongly-held values," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "No one should ever be made to feel threatened or intimidated because of what they look like or who they are. By taking appropriate action to hold wrongdoers accountable, the Department of Justice is sending a clear message that flagrant infringements of our historic civil rights will not go unnoticed or unpunished."
Harris and his co-conspirators were members of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and their actions (along with other hazing incidents) prompted the national organization to suspend the Ole Miss Chapter, according to an email to members from Grand President Philip Cox.

Although doctors performing house calls may seem like something from the past, at Discover Health, it's a regular part of our practice. If you're unable to make it to the office, or simply prefer the comfort and convenience of being seen in your own home, the doctors at Discover Health, located in the North Beach section of San Francisco, can see you at your home, work, or even school. This team of naturopathic and integrative medicine physicians provides full comprehensive care for all ages. Contact the team at Discover Health today. Call to schedule your initial consultation or schedule your appointment online now.
Do doctors really still do house calls?
You may not believe it, but what's old is new again! We know that sometimes it's not so easy to just pick-up and get to the doctor's office. There may be kids to take care of, time pressures from work, school, and activities, or any number of other things which can make it complicated to get to an appointment on time, just to have the doctor see you 45 minutes late. If you schedule a house call with us, you can expect the doctor to show up on time, and evaluate and treat your child in the familiarity and comfort of your own home.
Here at Discover Health, we're dedicated to not only providing the highest quality care possible, but also providing it in the most convenient and comfortable way we can. When you're a member, you're part of our family. And when a family member needs help, they should be able to get that help at home.
Do you do only house calls, or can we be seen at the office?
Discover Health has an office conveniently located in the North Beach section of San Francisco. We've worked hard to make our offices at once state-of-the-art as well as stylish and comfortable. Many people prefer keeping the doctor at the doctor's office instead of bringing medical situations into the home, and if you choose that we're happy to see you in the office. When you have an appointment at the office, you don't have to worry about sitting forever in a waiting room full of coughs and colds. When you show up, you'll be taken immediately to your interview or exam room, and we expect our doctors to be on time to the minute of your appointment time.
What should you expect during a house call?
When a doctor from Discover Health visits you for a house call, you can expect a timely and professional medical experience, whether it's for an annual check-up, or because of an urgent matter. The physician will take the time to listen to any problems or issues, and discuss treatment options.
For annual check-ups, we bring with us the capability to access your child's health history through our electronic health record, measure height and weight, do a complete head-to-toe exam, show growth trends, and even administer vaccines or draw labs, all in your own home. If the visit is for an urgent care matter, we can measure oxygen levels, administer breathing treatments, prescribe medicines directly to your pharmacy electronically, or refer you for further testing or specialty evaluation. If you're looking for a doctor who can provide you care regardless of where and when you need it, contact Discover Health today. Call the office or book your appointment online.

Netflix gets license to stream CBS shows
By Jeff Chabot
On the same day Amazon launches a competing streaming service, Netflix announces an acquired license to stream content from CBS such as episodes of "Medium" and classic TV show seasons like "Cheers." The non-exclusive two-year agreement between the two companies gives CBS the option to extend the license for another two years if they elect to.
Not all CBS titles are included in the deal. Instead, select TV shows seem to be handpicked for online distribution. Additional titles under the licensing agreement include "Flashpoint," "Frasier," "Family Ties," the original "Hawaii Five-0" series, "Twin Peaks," "The Twilight Zone," "The Andy Griffith Show," and all generations of "Star Trek."
"This deal recognizes the increasing value of our content in today's marketplace," said Scott Koondel, President of Distribution, CBS Television Distribution.
"We are thrilled to be bringing CBS shows to Netflix and are looking forward to growing our relationship over time," said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer for Netflix.
The CBS shows are not quite queued up the library yet, at least in our view. But, we'll let you know as soon as the titles start appearing.
Netflix streaming-only service costs $7.99 per month for unlimited viewing.

Norman Tebbit, John Redwood — and 72 per cent of the British public.
Hooray for the good sense of the much abused British public. The Spectator made the discovery - undetected by Westminster - in a new style of deliberative polling.
The old idea that it is "heartless to want cuts, and that higher state spending is the non-negotiable priority of modern, compassionate Britain" is false. Whether there is a political party prepared to save the nation from catastrophic debt remains an open question.

Conflict, Media and Human Rights in South Asia (2011)
Securing peace and ending armed conflict and indiscriminate acts of violence against civilians present significant challenges to peace and the protection of human rights in South Asia and around the world. Central to an effective response to this challenge is to understand how public discourse, especially within the media, can be steered towards enabling a more transparent, well-informed policy response with positive human rights outcomes. A discussion that critically reflects on the South Asian scenario is timely and pertinent, given contemporary South Asian realities: the post-conflict situation in Sri Lanka; insurgencies in Jammu and Kashmir and the North East of India; the turmoil in Pakistan over the blasphemy law and other issues; the political tensions in Nepal; and the struggle in Bangladesh to deepen democracy. All of this is happening in a context where the media has become increasingly commercialised and simultaneously subject to state controls of various kinds.
The Kathmandu Roundtable on Conflict, the Media and Human Rights in South Asia (jointly organised by the International Council on Human Rights Policy, the Centre for Media and Cultural Studies of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences and PANOS South Asia) brought together senior media professionals, social scientists, peace and human rights advocates, and security analysts (see Appendix A) to consider how conflict, peace and human rights questions are discussed in the public domain, especially in the media, in South Asia. The Roundtable was held in Kathmandu on 20 and 21 November 2010.
The Roundtable was intended to strengthen ongoing efforts towards developing a more layered representation of internal conflicts in South Asia, so as to include human rights concerns. The discussions were aimed at developing a better understanding of the nature of the state, media and civil society interactions and dynamics in the region, which have such a significant impact on public discourse and policy. Hence, in addition to analysing and questioning the dominant vocabularies within the media on contemporary conflicts in the region, the Roundtable also intended to enable consideration of working towards a plural media that reflects the diverse positions on these conflicts.
This report presents, succinctly, some of the most important issues and questions discussed at the Roundtable. While it broadly reflects the structure of the agenda, it is not a detailed record of discussions at the Roundtable. On the contrary, it focuses on some of the most important broad themes of the discussion and seeks to present important insights emerging from the discussions relevant to these themes. The report also includes brief contributions from some of the participants on specific issues.
At the outset, it might help to clarify the perspectives that framed the Roundtable discussions in considering the place of the media in the construction of the discourse on conflict in South Asia. The media is not an institution that mirrors a given reality 'out there'; if that were the case then the kind of questions one would ask would be different – for example, objectivity and reliability would be an important focus. Rather, in this Roundtable, the focus was on critically examining how the media imagines specific versions of reality, within given and dynamic relations of power and resistance. Such a perspective underlines the need to understand what are the exclusions, the taken for granted terms of debate, the unspoken and unquestioned premises, the 'normal' space from which the media gazes at the world of conflict. This perspective eschews an assessment of how true to reality the media are; rather, it seeks to map the ways in which the media both reproduces and questions the dominant framings of conflict.

Q: switching language app with the same localized button I'm developing an iOS app with two languages.
I localized the main storyboard for each language and now I'm trying to switch between languages using the same button (toggled button text).
I found many codes for changing the app language with buttons for each one like
this and Advance-Localization-in-ios-apps but I don't know how to reload the storyboard with its .strings depending on the selected language in the button.
Any help please? thanks

A: I am afraid that you can't use Main.strings files. You will end up moving all localisable texts in the storyboard to Localizable.strings and load the them from there using a method like NSLocalizedString(key, comment).
Here is a Working sample project on GitHub. It works as in the screenshot below:

Complete code for the demo view controller
#import "ViewController.h"

//--------------- Modify NSBunle behavior -------------
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@interface CustomizedBundle : NSBundle
@end

@implementation CustomizedBundle
static const char kAssociatedLanguageBundle = 0;

-(NSString*)localizedStringForKey:(NSString *)key
                            value:(NSString *)value
                            table:(NSString *)tableName {

    NSBundle* bundle=objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociatedLanguageBundle);

    return bundle ? [bundle localizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName] :
    [super localizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName];
}
@end

@implementation NSBundle (Custom)
+ (void)setLanguage:(NSString*)language {
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        object_setClass([NSBundle mainBundle], [CustomizedBundle class]);
    });

    objc_setAssociatedObject([NSBundle mainBundle], &kAssociatedLanguageBundle, language ?
                             [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:language ofType:@"lproj"]] : nil, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}
@end

//--------------- Demo ---------------------------------
@interface ViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *button;

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL usingArabic;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self localizeTexts];
}

- (void)localizeTexts {
    self.label.text = NSLocalizedString(@"explanation_message", nil);
    [self.button setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"language_switch_title", nil) forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

- (IBAction)switchLanguageTouched:(id)sender {
    _usingArabic = !_usingArabic;
    NSString *targetLang = _usingArabic ? @"ar" : @"en";

    [NSBundle setLanguage:targetLang];

    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:targetLang forKey:@"selectedLanguage"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

    [NSBundle setLanguage:targetLang];

    [self localizeTexts];
}

@end

Your Localizable files will look like this:

Hope this helps.
Happy coding!
Edit:
Without calling a method like 'localizeTexts' in the example above to 'refresh' the text value being displayed, it's impossible to reflect the currently selected language. The object is in memory so you must recreate or update its value.

I recently visited Greenhill Glamping in Kent and was blown away by how great it was. The area is amazing, the views are spectacular, you really feel like you've managed to get away but it total luxury and comfort.
The finer details and little touches have really been made and it makes a massive difference. Good coffee, GREAT bed, good toiletries, properly powerful shower, very warm accommodation (you could go in mid-winter) Everything you could need is there and its all been thought of. I can't recommend it enough. Leave the kids, get away and truly switch off.
We went and visited the very cool Hop Fuzz tap room. Beer and food were great!
No WIFI signal – lovely!
We went to Folkestone, which was lovely. The harbour arm is great. Loads of nice cafes, places to eat and the very cool bakery/brewery. We got some fresh seafood, took it back to the Shepherds hut and had oysters, crab and lobster for dinner – not bad! Before that we went to the Marquis for high tea and Gin and Tonics!
A wonderful visit, you really should give it a visit yourselves. You won't regret/forget it!

Men from Colorado, New York banned from Yellowstone for 5 years for walking on Old Faithful
Posted 3:10 pm, January 9, 2020, by Associated Press
Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo. — Two men who pleaded guilty to trespassing on the cone of Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park were sentenced to 10 days in jail and have been banned from the park for five years.
Park employees and other witnesses saw two people on the geyser on Sept. 10 taking photos with their cellphones. At least one witness shared photos with park rangers, who cited the two defendants.
Eric Schefflin, 20, of Lakewood, Colorado, and Ryan Goetz, 25, of Woodstock, New York, were sentenced on Dec. 5 by U.S. Magistrate Mark Carman in Mammoth Hot Springs, park officials announced Thursday
"Visitors must realize that walking on thermal features is dangerous, damages the resource, and illegal," Chief Ranger Sarah Davis said in a statement.
The ground in hydrothermal areas is fragile and thin and there is scalding water just below the surface, park officials said. Visitors must always remain on boardwalks and exercise extreme caution.
Schefflin and Goetz were also ordered to pay $540 in restitution and were placed on unsupervised probation for five years.

My first hearing of counter-tenor Philippe Jaroussky was on the release Pergolesi - Stabat Mater on Erato followed by the fascinating Music For A While - Improvisations on Henry Purcell with L'Arpeggiata directed by Christina Pluhar also on Erato.
Jaroussky is an experienced Vivaldi performer having cut his teeth on a number of the Red Priest's opera recordings notably Griselda, La verita in cimento, La Fida Ninfa and Orlando furioso for Naïve. On the present release Jaroussky directs Ensemble Artaserse, a period instrument group which he founded in 2005, for their third Vivaldi solo recital album on Erato. This followed the 2005 release Virtuoso Cantatas and from 2010 Stabat Mater - Motets to the Virgin Mary.
Opening the release is the motet Clara stellae scintillate, RV 625 a work of modest scope in four movements in praise of the Virgin Mary. Most likely it was written for the Feast of the Visitation at Ospedale della Pietà orphanage for girls and performed in 1715 and sung by the talented Geltruda; a Pieta resident. The principal work in this collection of sacred cantatas for alto voice is the Stabat Mater, RV 621. One of Vivaldi's greatest works it is engagingly sung here by Jaroussky. Composition dates are extremely difficult to find for Vivaldi scores but it is known that the nine movement Stabat Mater was performed in 1712 at Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace, Brescia. In three sections, the splendid motet Filiae maestae Jerusalem, RV 638 may have been one of the Introduzioni al Miserere used to assess Vivaldi's capability as maestro de coro by the Pietà governors in 1715 and may have been sung by Geltruda.
Here the programme of sacred music is divided by the purely instrumental Concerto in C minor for strings and continuo, RV 120. Vibrantly played here by Ensemble Artaserse it's a very short three movement piece lasting just over five minutes.
Vivaldi wrote three works entitled Gloria in excelsis Deo but only two survive, one of which is this Gloria in D major, RV 589. It is thought to have been written around 1715. Jaroussky has included only the sixth section Domine Deus where the accompanist is oboist Emmanuel Laporte. The booklet notes give a quote from musicologist Michael Talbot who considered the Domine Deus as "the epitome of melting Vivaldian lyricism." Philippe Jaroussky writes that he has wanted to record the Longe mala, umbrae, terrores, RV 629 for some time. It's a piece with operatic features requiring significant technical vocal display which Jaroussky says "that I find absolutely fascinating." The final work is the Salve Regina in G Minor, RV 618, a Marian antiphon sung for the Feast of the Blessed Trinity. Composed somewhere between the mid-1720s and the early-1730s this six movement work is scored for two string cori and a pair of oboes. I believe Philippe Jaroussky to be the foremost counter-tenor of his generation comparable to Andreas Scholl at his peak. In this Vivaldi repertoire Jaroussky's smooth, fluid-toned voice is in quite glorious estate. Steadfast in technique with an engaging timbre I marvel at the vivid tone colours he effortlessly creates. Jaroussky never forgets the sacred significance of this repertoire and faithfully upholds the appropriate degree of reverence.
Under assured direction the performance by Ensemble Artaserse is immaculate and convincingly evidences its prowess both technically and artistically. Recorded under studio conditions using period instruments I was delighted with the gratifying intonation and unity of ensemble. Both soloist and orchestra have achieved an admirable balance between sacred reverence and dramatic expression.
Eighteen strong here, including a four strong basso-continuo section, Ensemble Artaserse deliver highly persuasive playing high on vitality and with no shortage of refinement.
The twenty-minute bonus DVD makes a fine appetizer. The viewer accompanies Jaroussky to several notable Venetian locations in Vivaldi's life such as his birthplace, the San Giovanni Battista in Bragora where Vivaldi was baptised and the Ospedale della Pietà where Vivaldi worked. Accompanying this short guide are music excerpts from the Stabat Mater; Longe mala, umbrae, terrores and Filiae maestae Jerusalem all filmed during the recording sessions in Paris.
The recording provides clear, well balanced sound quality. I can confirm that full Latin texts are provided with translations in English, French and German. The cover image shows Jaroussky high up inside the Pietà clutching the iron grille, behind which the orphan girls would have performed. The bonus DVD and Frédéric Delaméa's fine essay add to the admirable presentation of this release.


Several Candiidates for Oaklawn's Presidents Day stakes tripleheader recorded workouts on a cloudy, damp Sunday morning, including Gray Attempt who breezed 5 furlongs in advance of the $500,000 Southwest Stakes (G3) for 3-year-olds Feb. 18.
Working just after the renovation break from the 5-furlong pole to the regular finish line, Gray Attempt went in 1:00.20 under Channing Hill and galloped out 6 furlongs in 1:12.60 over the muddy, sealed surface. The colt's final quarter-mile was :23.60.
The work was the first for Gray Attempt since a front-running neck victory in the $150,000 Smarty Jones Stakes Jan. 25, Oaklawn's first of four major Kentucky Derby preps. The 1-mile Smarty Jones, Gray Attempt's first start around two turns, was his third consecutive victory.
Like the Smarty Jones, the 1 1/16-mile Southwest will offer 17 points to the top four finishers (10-4-2-1) toward starting eligibility for the Kentucky Derby.
Fires said regular rider Shaun Bridgmohan will have the mount in the Southwest. Fires won the 2011 Southwest with Archarcharch.
Long Range Toddy and Boldor, second and third, respectively, in the Smarty Jones worked for Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen. Breezing together before the break, Long Range Toddy and Boldor covered 5 furlongs in 1:00.20.
Bankit, sixth as the favorite in the Smarty Jones, also worked in company before the break for Asmussen. Bankit and stablemate Laughing Fox, a 3-year-old Union Rags colt who broke his maiden Jan. 25, were both timed in 1:00.80.
Two projected starters for the $500,000 Razorback Handicap (G3) for older horses completed final major preparations for the 1 1/16-mile race Sunday.
Zia Park Derby winner Nanoosh breezed 5 furlongs in 1:00.40 for trainer Robertino Diodoro. Tiz He the One covered a half-mile in :52.40 for trainer Jeremiah Englehart.
The Razorback is the first major local prep for the $750,000 Oaklawn Handicap (G2) April 13.
H.E. "Tex" Sutton flights carrying prospective Southwest and Razorback entrants to Arkansas are scheduled to arrive Wednesday (south Florida horses) and Thursday (Southern California).
The $200,000 Bayakoa Stakes (G3) for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles will also be run Feb. 18. The Bayakoa is the first major local prep for the $700,000 Apple Blossom Handicap (G1) April 14.
Post positions for the Southwest, Rebel and Bayakoa will be drawn Friday.
Tiz He the One will put his near-perfect dirt record on the line in the $500,000 Razorback Handicap (G3) for older horses Feb. 18, which will mark the stakes and seasonal debut for the 5-year-old Tiz Wonderful gelding.
Tiz He the One closed his 2018 campaign with three consecutive 1-mile allowance victories at Laurel and has been beaten only once in five career dirt starts. Tiz He the One arrived at Oaklawn about a week ago and tuned up for the 1 1/16-mile Razorback with a half-mile workout Sunday morning.
Trainer Jeremiah Englehart chose the Razorback over next Saturday's $250,000 General George Stakes (G3) at Laurel and said the $9 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) Jan. 26 at Gulfstream Park also factored into next-out plans.
Englehart said Trevor McCarthy (3 for 3 on the gelding) would have the mount for the Razorback. Tiz He the One, who has a 4-0-1 mark from eight lifetime starts and earnings of $106,834, races for Lady Sheila Stable and Iris Smith Stable.
Allen Milligan, Oaklawn's leading trainer in 2009, had 999 career North American victories through Saturday, according to Equibase, racing's official data gathering organization. He had three horses entered Sunday at Oaklawn. … Warrior's Club worked a half-mile in :48.60 Sunday morning for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who said he's targeting a March return for the Grade 3 winner. … Multiple Oaklawn stakes winner Racer recorded a 3-furlong bullet work (:36) Sunday morning for trainer Jinks Fires of Hot Springs. Racer is scheduled to make his 2019 debut in Thursday's fourth race. … Flawless Moon, an unstarted 3-year-old half-brother to Grade 1 winner The Big Beast, worked 5 furlongs in 1:00.80 Sunday morning for trainer David Fawkes. Also working Sunday morning was Hidden Ruler, an unstarted 3-year-old Gemologist colt who went a half-mile out of the gate in :48.20 for trainer Dallas Stewart. … Through Saturday, the ninth day of the scheduled 57-day meeting, 90 claims had totaled $1,299,000.
