New Delhi, April 30 (IANS) Nepal's former prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', who is also the head of Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), the country's largest party, Tuesday held "very good talks" with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during which he emphasized that his party was in a "new phase politically and ideologically" and wanted good relations with India.
A day after Prachanda told an audience here his party had agreed that "without good relations with India Nepal cannot prosper", Prachanda said that "We are in a new phase politically and ideologically" in relations with India, his comrade Krishna Bahadur Mahara told IANS.
He said India and Nepal should "review the past" and take forward their relations.
He also discussed the second Constituent Assembly elections due in Nepal in November and sought help in the country's economic development. Manmohan Singh said "India stands by Nepal and we are with Nepal's economic development", Mahara, who was present at the meeting, said.
Prachanda, who visited China earlier this month, also broached his "vision" of a tripartite partnership between Nepal, India and China with the Indian prime minister. The latter reacted positively to the idea, according to Mahara. .
The Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) party, during a conclave last month, had decided on three things – peaceful transition and peaceful democratic politics, focused strategy on economic prosperity of Nepal and good relations with India, said Prachanda.
Prachanda, who is on a four-day trip of India, is visiting here after four years. The last time he came here as prime minister and also after first visiting China. He also met India's External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid Tuesday.

https://mapapi.xxxxx.cn/get?runtimes[]=test1&runtimes[]=test2
In PHP,I can get an array by $_GET['runtimes']
but in SpringMVC,How can I do?
This is my test:

){
    System.out.println(runtimes);
}

But I get an error Error parsing HTTP request header.
if replace runtimes[] by runtimes,it will get null.

    public String get(@RequestParam(name = "runtimes[]", required = false) String[] runtimeArray){
        System.out.println(Arrays.asList(runtimeArray));
        return "test";

When the National Census of England and Wales was taken in 1921, the maid was still the first post for newly emancipated British women. For the men returning from the First World War, coal mining was the main occupation.
A century later, this survey of more than 38 million people was finally published online this week, marking the end of a three-year project led by the National Archives and its partner Findmypast, a division of the media company. DC Thomson.
The 1921 census asked people not only their age, occupation and place of residence, but also, for the first time, for details of their employment with companies such as Boots, Cadbury's, Selfridges, Schweppes and Rolls-Royce. .
Also for the first time, the "divorcee" was an option for marital status. About 16,000 registered as such despite the stigma attached to it at the time.
The census is seen as a very important societal snapshot of a period of economic and social turmoil in the interwar period, especially because the 1931 census was lost in a fire and no census has been completed. was carried out during World War II.
For Findmypast Managing Director Tamsin Todd, the project is also the next step in the development of the already popular UK genealogy market.
Findmypast was one of the fastest growing operations last year for the Scottish media group which is perhaps best known for the Beano comic book, as people used up their time at the home during the pandemic to research family histories.
The 1921 census record shows King George V and his household, including Queen Mary and their four children © Mikael Buck / Find My Past / The National Archives
Todd expects the census release to spark that interest, citing an increase in traffic this week to the website that hosts the database not only from the UK, but from people in the US and Australia as well. eager to reunite with their families.
Todd, who joined Findmypast in 2017, said the past four years have been spent developing technologies and algorithms to turn "the dry and dusty facts of genealogy into stories that people can tell and share and that can enlighten their lives ".
Censuses are only published online after 100 years. In this case, it was the largest project ever undertaken by the National Archives, with the 38 million records digitally downloaded from 30,000 volumes of original documents. Hundreds of restorers, technicians and transcriptionists worked on building the database.
Online genealogy sites are already popular in the UK and around the world. Blackstone bought the American company Ancestry.com a year ago for almost $ 5 billion.
Findmypast is the second division of DC Thomson and generated more money last year than advertising revenue from titles such as Stylist and Puzzler.
According to accounts filed at Christmas, sales increased by nearly a fifth at Findmypast to reach £ 22.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization increased that doubled to £ 6.8million from £ 2.7million. Last year.
Findmypast, which has over 13 million registered users, offers a subscription service that allows users to find their family and home. However, it changed that model for the 1921 census: users had to pay for individual records, which angered some historians who argue that a single, searchable subscription would be fairer.
Todd defended the pricing model, saying Findmypast had "invested millions to bring the census online" and needed to get that money back. The fees are shared with the National Archives, she added, which awarded the work to Findmypast after a tender.
Findmypast operates as a stand-alone business, although it is wholly owned by DC Thomson. Todd said she would not speculate on the future of the business as a separate group, saying the Thomson family were "really positive and interested owners."
She added that its owners are also investing in technology to improve its services. It hired 30 employees to its engineering team last year and plans to grow that team by nearly a third this year.
New products could include combining an archive of newspaper articles dating back to the 1700s with family history data to create a better "picture of the past" for users, she said.
"We believe genealogy can be a much richer experience," she said. "It can be pretty dry numbers – birth, marriage, dates of death – and we believe there is an opportunity to help people see the streets their grandfather walked on, the place their backside worked. -grandfather and what was going on in the world. "

Q: Ajax calendar extender issue on ajax modal popup? I added ajax calendar extender on ajax modal popup in asp.net web form but it doesn't show month and year.
<asp:TextBox ID="txtdateCalendar" runat="server" Width="220px" ></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ImageButton ID="imgPopup" runat="server" ImageUrl="https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/small-n-flat/24/calendar-alt-512.png" Height="20px" Width="30px"  />
<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarBirth" TargetControlID ="txtdateCalendar" CssClass="cal_Theme1" PopupButtonID="imgPopup" Format="dd/MM/yyyy" runat="server"></ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender>

A: To fix this with as little hassle as possible:
1) Open the Website\Manage NuGet Packages  menu item.
2) Install AjaxControlToolkit.StaticResources under Browse
3) Add a ScriptReference to the ScriptManager control

      <asp:ScriptManager runat="server">
        <Scripts>
            <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/AjaxControlToolkit/Bundle" />
        </Scripts>
     </asp:ScriptManager>

4) Add the Styles.Render expression to the  element.

    <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server">
   <%:System.Web.Optimization.Styles.Render("~/Content/AjaxControlToolkit/Styles/Bundle") %>
    </asp:PlaceHolder>
     <link href="../../include/css/ajax-calendar-fix.css" rel="stylesheet" />
5) In Solution Explorer for your project, locate the Scripts\AjaxControlToolkit\Release Folder in your Project Root.
6) Open the Calendar.js file and search for this._width=.
7) Change the height and width to the values you have set for the .ajax__container height and width. (They will be right next to each other.)
Notes:
A) In my case we are using git so I also added the Calendar.js file to source control.
B) I also had some conflicting styles on other page controls so I had to make some of the selectors more specific to get borders and backgrounds to appear correctly.
.ajax__calendar .ajax__calendar_hover .ajax__calendar_today  became
.ajax__calendar_custom td.ajax__calendar_hover div.ajax__calendar_today for example.


iOS has long allowed users to record custom vibration patterns. These vibration patterns can be set for particular contacts so that, when you receive a call or message from them, it is easily distinguishable. By default, all contacts have the same ring tone and vibration pattern. If you often keep your phone on silent, a custom vibration alert for an important contact is one of the easiest ways to tell when you get a message from them. Here's how you can create a custom alert for a contact in iOS.
Open your Contacts app and select the contact you want to create a custom vibration for. Tap Edit at the top and then scroll down to the 'Text Tone' section and tap to edit it.
Next, on the Text Tone screen, tap Vibration. On the Vibration screen, scroll down and tap 'Create new vibration' under the Custom section.
You can now record your new vibration pattern. Play it back until it's just right, and then tap 'Save' when you're done. You can name your custom vibration patterns anything you like. I recommend naming it after the contact you created it for. This will make custom vibrations easier to manage at any point in the future.
Tap Save and Done on each screen as and when you see the option. Messages from the contact will now be accompanied by this custom vibration tone.
iOS has had this feature for a while i.e. you could create a custom vibration but, it didn't always allow users to associate custom vibrations with a contact. Back in the iOS 3 and iOS 4 days, you would have to jailbreak your iPhone and use a Cydia tweak to do this. It's now a built-in option and needless to say, it is much easier to configure. This feature was added in iOS 5 so it's pretty old at this point though still living in obscurity.

Disney CEO Bob Iger steps down, Bob Chapek named new head
NEW YORK (AP) — The Walt Disney Co. has named Bob Chapek CEO, replacing Bob Iger, effective immediately.
The surprise announcement Tuesday makes Iger executive chairman. Chapek was most recently chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
Iger will remain chairman through the end of his contract Dec. 31, 2021.
Iger said it was an "optimal time" for him to step down following Disney's acquisition of Fox's entertainment assets and the launch of Disney Plus streaming service in November.
"Did not see this coming -- Wowza," tweeted LightShed media analyst Rich Greenfield.
Chapek is only the seventh CEO in Disney history.
Susan Arnold, the independent lead director of the Disney board said succession planning had been ongoing for several years.
Chapek was head of the parks, experiences and products division since it was created in 2018. Before that he was chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts since 2015. Before that, he was president of the Disney Consumer Products segment from 2011 to 2015.

TDB supports development and production of receiver modules essential for an app that provides navigation support
India will soon develop and manufacture receiver modules essential for the NavIC (NAVigation with Indian Constellation), an application developed by ISRO for constellation of seven satellites that, together, provide navigation support over India and 1,500 km around it. Support for scaling up this technology, which is also essential for GPS (Global Positioning Systems)s will be a significant step in positioning India as a global hub for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing following the vision of the Prime Minister.
Technology Development Board, a statutory body of Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, has approved financial support to Hyderabad based Manjeera Digital Systems Private Limited (MDS), a Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Research & Development company, which aims to design next-generation computing architectures for high-performance computing for manufacturing of receiver modules in bulk which will be essential for the NavIC App. This could help establish India's technological leadership in the areas of strategic importance and economic self-reliance.
The company has also designed and fabricated a baseband processor using patented Universal Multifunctional Accelerator (UMA). This UMA can be used in generic Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications such as Server Acceleration, Edge Computing, Node Computing, Computer Vision, Signal Processing, etc.
"TDB has played a pivotal role in developing conducive ecosystems for growth of technology companies, be it Startups, MSMEs, or established companies. We, at TDB, are geared up for taking up challenges in the niche technologies of national interest like semiconductors, green hydrogen, defense, aerospace & similar sectors," Sh. Rajesh Kumar Pathak, IP&TAFS, Secretary, TDB, pointed out.
The company's CEO, Dr. Venu Kandadai, said, "TDB's assistance, at this juncture, is timely and of immense help in speeding its efforts in development and commercialization of indigenous products. We, at Manjeera, plan to design and develop many such chips that will contribute to the country's initiatives for self-reliance in electronic chip design and development."

Q: What are the images and stories about how we use things used for?
We use the information we gather to inspire alternative ways of thinking about and creating fashion. It is part of a fashion research project led by the Centre for Sustainable Fashion at the London College of Fashion exploring how we can do more within the limits of the stuff we already have. Currently there are also seven international partner institutions collaborating on the project through research and design.
Q: Where will the information collected at photoshoots be seen?
It will used online as part of the Local Wisdom website which seeks to celebrate of the ingenious, thoughtful and creative acts of people with their garments.
Q: What is involved if I participate in a photoshoot?
Telling us the story of your garment (we record it using a sound recorder) and having your photograph taken wearing it.
Q. What kind of garments are you looking for?
Q: How long does it take to participate in a photoshoot?
The whole process normally takes around 15 minutes.
Just turn up at the advertised venue on the right day and we will be ready to record your story and take your picture!
Q: What if can't make it to the photoshoot but I want to share a garment or story?
Q. Why is the project called "Local Wisdom"? Is there a story behind it?
A. The name Local Wisdom reflects the way that this project delves into the often unknowing 'wisdoms' employed by those who wear and own clothes to tend and use them in satisfying ways that go beyond their original design and far beyond the passive act of purchase. Kate coined the phrase 'craft of use' to describe these resourceful practices.
By exploring these 'wisdoms' or 'craft of use' the project aims to challenge the dependency of the fashion industry on increasing material production and to propose solutions that value a broader set of fashion experiences.
Q. How do I find out where the next Local Wisdom photoshoot will be held?


Envoy has invited Keira Thompson, along with her parents, John and Beckie Thompson, to our training facilities and the American Airlines campus to experience a day in the life of a Pilot. Keira and Beckie were featured in articles published by the Huffington Post and the Chicago Tribune highlighting Keira's aspirations to be a Pilot and Envoy jumped at the chance to make her dream a reality!
The Thompson family will be Envoy's guests, Monday, June 13, for a fun-filled day, escorted by Jon Reibach, Director of Pilot Recruitment; Envoy First Officer Jessica Hines; and representatives from the Envoy Corporate Communications team.
Keira is the inspiration behind the start-up I Don't Want to be a Princess™, inspiring and encouraging girls to become anyone they want to be and to accomplish anything they want to do.
We will be documenting the visit via our social media channels!
Be sure to follow along with Keira's adventure via @envoyaircareers on June 13. We are thrilled to have Keira and her family be a part of our team for the day!


After rewriting men's college basketball history, UMBC has rewritten the contract of head coach Ryan Odom, the school announced Monday.
Details of Odom's amended contract were not revealed, but he has agreed in principle to remain at the suburban Maryland school for the foreseeable future.
Odom figured to be a hot commodity on the coaching market this offseason after his Retrievers became the first No. 16 seed in the men's NCAA tournament to beat a No. 1 seed when UMBC rolled past overall top seed Virginia 74-54 for a school-record 25th victory.
"We're going to put something on the table that will be really good for where we're at," UMBC athletic director Tim Hall told ESPN's Jeff Goodman earlier this month. "We're going to do everything in our power to incentivize him to stay here."
Hall succeeded in that endeavor, saying "with great enthusiasm" in a statement released Monday that Odom "will remain on Hilltop Circle and continue to build on the season's remarkable success."
Odom, the son of former Wake Forest and South Carolina coach Dave Odom, had completed his second year of what was a seven-year deal that paid him $230,000 per season in base salary.
UMBC's magical run, which began with a buzzer-beating victory over Vermont to win the America East tournament, ended with a loss to Kansas State in the round of 32.
And while the Retrievers will lose three key seniors in leading scorers Jairus Lyles and K.J. Maura, along with Jourdan Grant, they at least will retain their top dog.


The NCAA Woman of the Year plan honors the academic achievements, athletics excellence, community service and leadership of graduating female college athletes from all three divisions. To be eligible, nominees should have competed and earned a varsity letter in an NCAA-sponsored sport and need to have completed eligibility in her major sport.
Intimidation – You almost certainly intimidate them with out realising it and you will not be undertaking it deliberately. You are much more probably just getting 'yourself' and that is sufficient to get up most women's noses. When somebody is comfortable with who they are it makes other women feel much less confident around them. As a result they will dimish you to regain their sense of self-worth and try their greatest to break your pleased disposition.
Any one particular of these texts will definitely get your guy turned on so he is begging for much more. Test the waters by sending a single text on its personal or up the ante with a two-text-turn-on. A suspected cheating husband is hardly some thing that you can complain about officially. If you do not trust him or adore him any a lot more then split up and use your energy to build a much better life for your self not waste your time trying to get revenge. Outstanding Lens. I like the high quality insight you have provided here about Ladies Presidents and Prime Ministers. Hold up the good function.
My wife was the only one confident she would have a boy – absolutely everyone else said it would be a girl. My wife was right. She also has identified other items – but that is one more story. Your information on the use body language is anything that most guys no nothing at all only the could learn this art they would be so significantly greater off. I do like the promo shots that had been released of Wonder Woman's costume. I will be updating this write-up right after the film is released. I want to make sure no changes are created, ahead of entering it in. Thanks for sharing! Porsha is married to former NFL player Kordell Stewart, which brought her net worth up to $16 million ahead of the couple separated.
To say there are no sectarian tendencies or cleavages in Yemen is incorrect ( as Dr. Shelagh Weir explained from the 1980s), but the oversimplification of explaining the existing energy struggle completely on historic theological differences among Sunnis and Shi'as is incorrect as well. Samone123 you laid out your story very effectively. And, you know what you need to do. Telling the other man that you are not going to continue communicating with him, and so forth. is baiting him to make a move, nothing a lot more. You are playing a game with him and with your self. Thanks for the hub. Excellent concepts for Christmas gifts for girls. One more concept would be a limited edition makeup item.

In Window's terminal server there is a function called Easy Print, allowing you to use your local printers on the terminal server. With easy print the printers will change their names with the session you are logged into. This can create problems printing from CONSIGNOR because it is a program where you don't choose the printers for every print, it is setup with defined printer language (EPL/ZPL (For Zebra printers) .bmp etc..).
The best way to solve this problem is to install the printer on the Terminal Server (wich requires that it is in the same network or trough a VPN).
The printing can also be done from Consignor server.
If it isn't possible to add the printers directly to the terimal server, we have have a alternative sollution where you can set the session ID mask so CONSIGNOR will know that the printers changes it name.
To add this, go to setup in CONSIGNOR. On the toplevel Installation, right click on the right side of the installation-tree. Choose New - Terminal Server settings.
Choose the correct terminalserver version mask, and if it doesn't work or isn't listed. You can also specify your own mask, see what tokens you can use in the window.


Received SMS when the food was ready for collection.
It was nice 👍🏼 that the food was wrapped in thermal wrap with ice packs inside.
The scallops were soft and buttery topped with a layer of creamy sauce. The rice 🍚 was well flavoured with bits of ebiko for texture and hints of truffle aroma.
Oven roasted sea base on a refreshing quinoa salad with roasted carrots 🥕, onions and fennel seeds on the side.
Delicious 😋 healthy bento 🍱 meal. 🍋 Lemony flavoured quinoa. .
Healthy bento 🍱 from @amgd.sg booth which I got it during the Play Gym event by @orchardroad.sg yesterday at Ngee Ann City.
Meat free. Looked so colorful and tasted not bad too.
Note 📝 : Islandwide delivery.
Oven baked lean skinless chicken in low-fat hand-grated mozzarella cheese, Japanese sweet potato 🍠 mash, hard boiled egg, truffle-infused edamame, corn 🌽 kernels, low-calorie homemade honey miso sauce.
Smelt of truffle oil when opened.
It was savoury delicious 😋. The mash was packed with chunks of sweet potato 🍠 although not sure 🤔 why there's slight bitterness in some parts.
The weather was too hot to go out for lunch, so decided to order in through pastamaniadelivery.sg online. Ordering was smooth and easy with a S$3.50 delivery charge. No GST or service charge.
I was surprised to receive a pizza 🍕 like box 📦 from the delivery guy. Was pleasantly surprised that the items were nice packed in the box 📦, with sauce separated for the pasta 🍝. Although the sauce looked quite different from the Zhi char type, it tasted not bad. The juicy cubes of tomato 🍅 added a touch of tangy taste, a break from the rich creamy pasta. Sedap!
Order from Host Alicia @AliciaFreshBakes through @dineinnofficial website.
The banana 🍌 cake smelt quite nice. Soft and could taste bits of the mashed banana 🍌 in it.
Note 📝 : Dishes by home chefs in Singapore, available through delivery, self collection, or dine at host's place.
Opt for delivery 📦 which came with a S$19 delivery charge. Ordered for 12 noon and the order of Modern Indian Fusion meal 🥘 arrived 45 minutes later. I was surprised 😳 by the huge serving, packed in aluminum trays. The dishes were covered with banana 🍌 leaves 🍃 which gave the dishes an extra fragrant smell especially for the plain long grain rice.
Actual serving of pasta 🍝 was more than double the amount showed in the picture above. The spaghetti had lemak and spicy 🌶 taste, topped with 8 pieces of juicy prawns 🦐.
The 2 pieces of lamb chop were covered with various spices, onion, and green pepper. I usually didn't eat green pepper as I felt it had a rather green taste but here it was soft and soaked up the flavours rather well. The lamb chops were meaty but a tab dry.
The chicken cutlets were packed with flavours of various spices. It was a tab dry and salty on its own but just right with the plain rice.
The tiramisu were packed in cute decorative containers.
I opt for self collection for the Chiffon cake 🎂. The place was within walking distance from the MRT station. The cake was nicely packed with a couple of oranges in it. Smelt very orange 🍊 . Light and fluffy with orange 🍊 taste and not too sweet. But can't help feeling it was lacking of something. Maybe zests and pulp will perk up the cake.
Made by Choon, a Le Cordon Bleu trained personal patissier and cuisiner.
Ordered from Host Spot Atelier through @DineInnOfficial website.
Handmade fresh upon order using Weiss Chocolate 🍫 couvertures.
S$25/ 100grams (about 7-9 pieces).
The truffles were packed in resealable packaging and last up to 2 weeks. Sounded quite expensive when each pop cost about S$3, but it did left a smooth lasting taste in the mouth 👄, tasting not too sweet, with each having its distinct taste.
My favourite was the coffee ☕ version , which was coffee bean infused chocolate 🍫 ganache coated with tempered chocolate, cocoa powder, and icing, brought out its flavours very well. Can't help feeling that I should have a cup of coffee ☕ at that moment.
The dark chocolate 🍫 version, which was dark chocolate ganache coated with tempered chocolate and cocoa powder, was lacking of the expected bitterness.
I opt for self collection which was within walking distance from the MRT station. Choon was on time with a personalize paper bag filled with the goodies in it.
The ondeh ondeh cake smelt quite fragrant and packed with rich but not too sweet gula melaka flavoured desiccated coconut 🌴 filling, which kept the cake 🎂 moist while balancing the rich cream covering the cake. A not commonly found flavour for cake which delighted the olds and youngs.
Opt for self collection and the place was within a short 5 minutes walking 🚶 distance from the bus 🚌 stop.
I opt for self collection, and the collection point was quite easy to find as it was at a centralized MRT station. Serena was friendly and on time with the cake. She even communicated with me through SMS, checking if there's any preference in the design of the decoration of the buttercream floral cake.
Selected Earl Grey flavour which tasted slightly floral, although I would prefer a stronger tea flavour. A cute little cake 🎂 with very pretty decorations of various flowers 🌺 on top, even 4-years old little JJ like it very much. The cake was a piece of art, too pretty to be eaten. It was a tab frightening looking at the chunk of cream on top of the sponge cake when one sliced the cake 🎂. Holding the 2 sponge cakes 🎂 together was a thin layer of cream in the middle. The cake was light and airy, without been too sweet. It would be better had the cake 🎂 be more moist especially there's no fruity filling in between.
There's also classic flavours such as chocolate 🍫, vanilla, banana 🍌, chocolate 🍫 earl grey, and red velvet.
The cake is also available in bigger sizes : S$90/ 6 inch, S$130/ 9 inch.
Premium flavours (S$60/ 4 inch, S$95/ 6 inch, S$135) : ondeh, ondeh, matcha 🍵, hojicha.
Supreme flavour (S$65/ 4 inch, S$100/ 6 inch, S$140/ 9 inch) : carrot 🥕.

Can anyone tell me if the 5-user Business Bundle covers 5 workstations and a server or is the serever included in the 5 users? If the latter, is it possible to add another user without jumping up to the 10-user bundle? Thanks!
In Australia at least the server is included as one of the 5 users and it is simple to purchase for 5,6,7,8 users etc.
I would suggest contacting your local reseller directly for pricing on the best fit option for your setup.
It works the same way here in the U.S.

Dr. King said, "All reality hinges on moral foundations." Moral foundations that much of society has abandoned. Like Jesus' parents on their way back home, they had to go back to Jerusalem to reclaim that which they had lost before they could go forward to Nazareth. And that is what we must do today as well.
And then King went on to say: There is a second thing, a second principle that we've got to go back and rediscover. And that is that all reality has spiritual control. In other words, we've got to go back and rediscover the principle that there is a God behind the process. Well this you say, why is it that you raise that as a point in your sermon, in a church? The mere fact we are at church, we believe in God, we don't need to go back and rediscover that. The mere fact that we are here, and the mere fact that we sing and pray, and come to church—we believe in God. Well, there's some truth in that. But we must remember that it's possible to affirm the existence of God with your lips and deny his existence with your life. The most dangerous type of atheism is not theoretical atheism, but practical atheism—that's the most dangerous type. And the world, even the church, is filled up with people who pay lip service to God and not life service. And there is always a danger that we will make it appear externally that we believe in God when internally we don't. We say with our mouths that we believe in Him, but we live with our lives like He never existed. That is the ever-present danger confronting religion. That's a dangerous type of atheism.
And I think, my friends, that that is the thing that has happened in America. That we have unconsciously left God behind. Now, we haven't consciously done it, we, we have unconsciously done it. You see, the text, you remember the text said, that Jesus' parents went a whole day's journey not knowing that he wasn't with them. They didn't consciously leave him behind. It was unconscious. Went a whole day and didn't even know it. It wasn't a conscious process. You see, we didn't grow up and say, now, good-bye God, we're going to leave you now. The materialism in America has been an unconscious thing. Since the rise of the Industrial Revolution in England, and then the invention of all of our gadgets and contrivances and all of the things and modern conveniences—we unconsciously left God behind. We didn't mean to do it.
We became so involved in getting our nice luxurious cars, and they're very nice, but we became so involved in it that it became much more convenient to ride out to the beach on Sunday afternoon than to come to church that morning. It was an unconscious thing—we didn't mean to do it.
We became so involved and fascinated by the intricacies of television that we found it a little more convenient to stay at home than to come to church. It was an unconscious thing. We didn't mean to do it. We didn't just go up and say, now God, you're gone. We had gone a whole day's journey, and then we came to see that we had unconsciously ushered God out of the universe. A whole day's journey– didn't mean to do it. We just became so involved in things that we forgot about God.
If you have forgotten God, you need to go back and "remember" Him by getting to know Jesus Christ as your Savior. Allow me to show you how you can place your faith and trust in Him for Salvation from sin and Hell.

Q: Is there a number so large that we could never calculate it? Note that I edited this post significantly to make it more clear (as clear as I think I could possibly make it). First, let me mention what I am NOT asking:

*

*I am NOT asking for the largest number we could calculate.

*I am NOT asking if there is a largest number (if there were, just add one and it would be bigger, so obviously this is false)

*I am NOT asking for something like "divide by zero" or for limits ("infinity" isn't an answer, that isn't a number)

I have been thinking a lot about numbers and I put a couple numbers into Wolfram Alpha just to see what happens. It can handle insanely huge numbers, but it fails as soon as you put in $10! ^ {10!}$. After thinking for a few days, I feel that there must be a largest number that we could possibly ever calculate or define. In fact, I think there are an infinite number of numbers greater than anything we could ever calculate (I am saying larger numbers exist, but we cannot do anything with them, except maybe prove there are numbers so large we can't calculate them).
I mean a number or an equation that results in an exact number (such as $x!^{x!^{x!^{x!^{x!^{...}}}}}$, where $x$ is an exact number that can be written out) I think there is a limit here. There is a largest number possible because there are only so many atoms in the observable universe. But how would one prove this (that there are numbers so large we couldn't define them)? Is there any information on this?
Interestingly, of the irrational numbers we use, they always have an alternative way to write them such that the answer is exact. One can simply write the infinitely long irrational number that is the square root of two as $\sqrt 2$. Two symbols and you define the infinitely long number that is the square root of $2$. One can use the formulas for finding $\pi$. But aren't there numbers that we couldn't even do that for? Aren't there numbers that we couldn't write in some form, such as how we write $\sqrt 2$? Such that the number is exact? I think these numbers must exist, but we can't do anything with them. But I have no idea how one could prove that or if there is any information regarding these numbers. So my question is: are there numbers that are just too large (or too precise) that we can't write them down in any way at all that expresses their exact value?

UPDATE:
I accidentally came across something that really helps with my question. I found this article here, and I saw  point #6:

Unknowable Thing: There are numbers that can't be computed.
This is another mind bender proved by Alan Turing.

That is exactly what I'm talking about! I am going to do some research on Alan Turing!

A: You need to define what you mean by calculating a number.  I remember finding a website with a program to "calculate a googleplex".  What the program really did was output a $1$ followed by $10^{100}$ zeros.  Is that calculating a googleplex? Do you really have to multiply $10$ by itself that many times?  If you make a rigorous definition, you fall afoul of the Berry paradox.  If you don't, the question does not have an answer.  Given a way to calculate $N$,  I can calculate $N+1$ in the obvious way.  When you move from integers to reals, you have the additional result that almost all reals cannot be defined, simply because there are only countably many definitions and there are uncountably many reals.

A: A necessary condition for being able to calculate a number is that we can specify a computation whose result is that number.
If we accept r.e.s.'s figure that the universe cannot contain more than $10^{185}$ bits, this should mean that
$$ \text{the first number whose Kolmogorov complexity is}\ge 10^{185}+1$$
cannot be produced in any deterministic way, in any effective notation.
(It's not just that if we have that number in our hands, we cannot prove that it answers to the above description -- though that is certainly true too. It's that it's impossible to "have that number" in any meaningful way, even without knowing it satisfies that definition).

A: For calculations, it is the computer memory and how numbers are stored that is the limit.
Simple programs use 32 bit or 64 bit integers, while complex program use string-integers. But even string-integers depend on how much memory is available.
The number $10!^{10!}$ would require about 52 Mb memory to store the number, not to mention the auxiliary numbers that could appear in a recursion step.
The number $10!^{10!}$ has about $54810892$ digits in the number, so yes - such numbers require much memory.
A number like $15!^{15!}$ would require about $33 Tb$ - think about it 33 TERABYTE! Most computers could not even store such a number on the HD!!!

A: Graham's number.

Graham's number is much larger than many other large numbers such as a googol, googolplex, Skewes' number and Moser's number. Indeed, like the last two of those numbers, the observable universe is far too small to contain an ordinary digital representation of Graham's number, assuming that each digit occupies one Planck volume. Even power towers of the form $ a ^{ b ^{ c ^{ \cdot ^{ \cdot ^{ \cdot}}}}}$ are insufficient for this purpose, although it can be described by recursive formulas using Knuth's up-arrow notation or equivalent, as was done by Graham. The last 12 digits of Graham's number are ...262464195387.

A: It can be shown that in the context of ordinary mathematics (say ZFC) there are infinitely many well-specified positive integers whose numerical representations cannot be proved. E.g., for every $n \ge 10\uparrow\uparrow 10$, the Busy Beaver number $\Sigma(n)$ is well-defined and has some decimal representation $d_1d_2...d_k$, but there exists no proof that $\Sigma(n) = d_1d_2...d_k$. It isn't that the proof or the digit string is merely infeasible due to physical resource limitations; rather, such a proof is a logical impossibility.
Here are a few relevant online sources:

*

*The Wikipedia article on Σ, complexity and unprovability.

*This answer to the math.SE question How can Busy beaver($10 \uparrow \uparrow 10$) have no provable upper bound?.

*Pascal Michel's webpage on Busy beavers and unprovability.
NB: In connection with the computability of numbers, note that an uncomputable number cannot be an integer (because each  integer has a purely finite representation, unlike the situation for real numbers). That's why the "computable-but-unprovable" results mentioned above seem especially poignant, since they apply specifically to positive integers, without complicating the situation with infinite objects such as the digital representations of uncomputable real numbers.

In a completely different (and much more mundane) sense, a digital representation of a positive integer can be "too big to calculate" for reasons of physical infeasibility implied by the assumed laws of physics:

*

*An absolute upper bound on any computer's operational speed is $1/t_{Planck} = \sqrt{\frac{c^5}{Gh}}\ \lessapprox\  2\cdot 10^{43}\ \tt{bits}\ \tt{per}\ \tt{second}.$

*An absolute upper bound on any computer's storage capacity is
$Volume_{observable\ universe} /l^3_{Planck}\ \lessapprox\ 9 \cdot 10^{184} \ \tt{bits}.$

See the Wikipedia article on Physical limits to computation, and also the absolute bounds mentioned in the external weblink provided in the article on Bremermann's limit.

Innovator Interview: Hack the Poacher
Hack the Poacher
Conservation technology largely consists of two categories: tools to monitor and study wildlife and their habitats, and solutions to mitigate or prevent negative human impacts. The fight against poaching in particular requires those human-centered solutions, along with a certain level of creativity and a thoughtful approach to the complex socioeconomic issues that contribute to the poaching crisis, impacting poachers and rangers in the region.
With their new "Hack the Poacher" system, innovators Tim van Deursen and Thijs Suijten present a unique tech system that aims to deter poaching in protected national parks, preventing conflict and aiding rangers in their ongoing fight against wildlife crime.
AI/Machine Learning Camera traps Hardware Sensors Biologging
Wildlife Crime
National park Protected spaces
The Hack the Poacher concept reflects the modern challenges of conservation by tapping into the power of our most common personal tech tool: the mobile phone. Rangers on the frontlines of the poaching crisis have identified a need for technology that can alert them in real-time when poachers are within protected spaces, and Hack the Poacher's prototypes and field tests present one possible way to fill this technological gap.
First tested in the field in April 2018, Hack the Poacher's prototypes allowed Tim and Thijs to give the general concept a trial run, address the challenges that come with deploying technology in remote areas, and build on the expertise of the local rangers who would use this system. The idea is simple yet clever: find a way to detect poachers' cell phone signals so rangers in the area can be alerted to their presence. In the future, they believe this system could also work in tandem with other tech tools like cameras, machine learning, and satellite imagery, giving rangers an additional edge and keeping them a step ahead of poaching activities.
One unique aspect of this system is its ability to act as a deterrent to poachers, ideally preventing the crime from occurring in the first place rather than serving as a mere rapid response system. As Tim explained to us, "While developing the concept, we spoke with several rangers who addressed this issue. The best anti-poaching concept would be something that makes it so poachers don't want to come into an area. This is why we are not so secretive about how the system works. We don't necessarily want to catch poachers - we want them to stay away. Consider it like a speed trajectory [radar sign] from the police; you see it, you know it's there. Most of us avoid speeding, but some people get fined."
We talked with Tim to get the details on how the Hack the Poacher system was created and fine-tuned, their future ambitions for expansion, the challenges of deploying new technology in the field for the first time, and how other innovators can learn from their experiences.
Read on for his full interview.
Innovator Interviews: Tim van Deursen
Q: Why cell phone detection?
Protecting large areas has always been challenging, and relying on the ears and eyes of rangers has always been the primary way of securing animals within reserves. But this task can be dangerous and time-consuming. Many initiatives in the past focused on optimizing detection of poachers by trying to get eyes on the poacher with, for example, the use of drones, night vision cameras, radar, and satellites. While these techniques can be effective, the costs are often too high to implement on a large scale, or too technologically advanced to be operated by people other than the tech team behind the product.
Q: Tell us about this concept's early days.
One of our biggest supporters is Green Safaris, who, along with eco-tourism, focus strongly on conservation and local community development. Green Safaris invited us to Kafue National Park in Zambia and facilitated several meetings with rangers and agencies like Panthera.
We hadn't realised the desperate situation poachers are often in. It can be easy to think about poachers as evil people looking for a big sum of money by collecting some precious ivory, but in reality, these poachers are often extremely poor, risking the only thing they have left to provide for their families. During our visit to the local ranger unit, we got to hold a handmade rifle they confiscated from a poacher. Imagine how dangerous it is to use a weapon like this.
While developing the [Hack the Poacher] concept, we spoke with several rangers who addressed this issue. The best anti-poaching concept would be something that makes it so poachers don't want to come into an area. This is why we are not so secretive about how the system works. We don't necessarily want to catch poachers, we want them to stay away. Consider it like a speed trajectory control of the police; you see it, you know it's there. Most of us avoid speeding, some people get fined.
Q: Tell us about the first prototype and finished product.
The first prototype we developed was very different from the one we now have. The system was able to mimic a cell phone tower, resulting in phones wanting to connect to it. This provided us with information about the phone, like the unique ID of the phone, the IMSI number.
While that might sound interesting, it has several downsides. The first is that this is not allowed to do in most counties worldwide. Secondly, it costs processing power. Third, and most importantly, you cannot do a lot with it in poaching-related court cases. World Crime Prevention (WCP) provided us with valuable information on how they operate, how poachers get arrested, and what helps in court cases. Having an IMSI number was not helpful since often phones cannot be reliably linked to a person.
Without the need to record the unique phone ID, we started to think about simpler ways to approach this issue. We shifted our focus towards more accurate detection of GSM activity and optimizing triangulation once a detection was made. To get a global position of someone, you need to "see" it from different angles, just like how your phone gets its location based on multiple satellites. To achieve this, we developed software that enables each sensor to talk to other nearby sensors. This way, the whole grid of sensors is connected and we always know which sensor detected a GSM signal.
The grid is connected to a cloud service we developed. All signals are processed and, depending on how many sensors detected the GSM signal, a location is calculated. This information is immediately shared with rangers.
Because of the hardware simplicity, the device requires a limited amount of power. The sensors can operate fully autonomously with just a few hours per day offline. A small solar panel makes sure the device is charged during the day, and there is enough battery capacity for the device to be operational for the majority of the day.
Q: Do you use specific criteria to select the technology you use? Did you consider any other tools while developing this project idea?
Any new idea starts first by looking at what we want to achieve. I dream of the outcome and how it looks. Once this is clear, we start looking at the How. An important part of this is looking at what has already been done and who else is working in this area of expertise. Ideally, we try to use technology that we know will work. Unfortunately, when creating innovative solutions, you often cannot find the exact things you need; you are the one creating it at that moment.
Q: Did the technology work as you expected? What worked best for you? What were some of the biggest challenges you faced using this technology in the field? Was there anything that didn't work the way you expected, or needed to be adjusted or improved?
The first prototype we developed did what we expected, but we encountered many different issues along the way. A major learning experience for us was realizing that things never work exactly as expected out in the field. Transmission range is shorter than expected, terrain is more difficult than anticipated, the list goes on…
What always works for us is not giving up on the core idea. So many things can set us back, but that doesn't mean we have failed. It proves that what we want to achieve is not trivial. Finding new motivation and solutions to the encountered issues is what works for us and brings us to where we are today.
The good thing is that, while we are always optimistic, we are also eager to validate. This is why we organised a pilot in 2018 and went to Zambia. We deployed several of our prototype devices ,and while doing that, we first bumped into issues. The biggest challenges we took back with us are two things: 1) Things will break in the bush, so the technology needs to be super robust, and 2) Relying on existing infrastructure is best avoided (power outages are common, and high towers cannot be used easily).
Q: What was the hardest day you had working on launching this project? What was the best day of the whole process so far?
Getting funding to get started on the project was one of the best days, and obviously the support from WWF meant a great deal to us.
We recently had the hardest day when we learned that a specific technical setup could not be developed. This news hit us hard because we were relying on it, and spent a lot of time on it. But not long after, we found a new and even better way of doing things. The new setup will provide a way to be fully independent of existing infrastructure by using a satellite solution, something we did not have in the setup before. A major improvement!
Q: Is there anything you would do differently if you could do this project again from the start?
So many things! That might sound strange, but I think that's a good thing. We are working on a very thin line between thinking about what we want, designing the solution, specifying it, and actually building things to prove it can be done. Many times you simply need to try things out and get a feel for the technology, the people who will use it, the area where it will be deployed, etc. If you could travel back in time to share these insights with yourself, obviously things would be easier from the start.
Q: What's next? How will Hack the Poacher expand?
While we were working on the GSM detection system and tested our prototype, I came across a camera trap. The rangers using it showed me how it worked and I was stunned. Most camera traps work by taking a photo and storing it on a SD card, and rangers need to physically retrieve the SD cards to see what is on the photo. I immediately thought about how awesome it would be if the camera could simply analyse the photo and send a message to rangers (for instance, if it has seen a human).
We are now building a special add-on that can be connected to existing camera traps. This add-on uses Machine Learning to detect what is on a photo and could alert rangers when a human is detected. This camera trap solution will be part of the "Hack the Poacher" program. We have started a collaboration with Google to work on this new type of camera trap, and Google is helping out with several engineers to make sure everything works and performs well on the Coral hardware.
Q: What are some of the shortcomings of the technology you're using for your work that you'd like to see addressed in the future?
Currently, it's nearly impossible to send data (like a photo) from a remote, disconnected location to the Internet on a limited budget. For someone living in a connected Western city, this can be hard to understand, but it's really difficult to pull off. Sure, you can use a satellite uplink, but that is very expensive and therefore difficult to use on a large scale. Luckily, there are some great initiatives in development that will solve this issue and be very beneficial for many conservation projects relying on data from remote areas.
Q: Any thoughts for other people developing solutions for poaching?
Besides the fact that we are techies and like to work on innovative technological solutions for these issues, it's a pity that these solutions are still needed so badly in the area of conservation. We have witnessed firsthand how difficult it is for rangers to do a good job because of the immense size of national parks and the flood of poachers coming in every day. The things we are doing are pieces of a much larger puzzle that needs to be solved. Obviously the demand for ivory needs to be addressed, but what can be said of the people in nearby villages who poach because they simply don't have any food or money? There is so much to do, and as much as I would like to believe so, I know technology isn't always the solution.
This is the reason we now organise meet-ups and hackathons, inviting people from all over the world who have different areas of expertise. The time to act already passed long ago, but we can prevent more damage and start restoring nature as soon as possible.
Q: What advice would you give people who have very ambitious ideas for using technology in conservation, but don't know how to start?
Just start! Prepare for many people to think you are crazy, or try to convince you that your solution won't work. Don't assume people can read your mind or have the same train of thought as you. Ideas in their first phase are brittle and easily destroyed. Don't give in too easily.

In this blog post I just want to give a hint about the positive and negatives effects when you COPY master data pages for different master data tables.
2. Labels and messages get copied (items, buttons). Really helpful if you named them differently to the standard APEX naming.
If you forget to change the branches/links then you could end up on the wrong page changing the wrong data. But on the other side this is the first thing you check after you finished the editing of the pages.
If you forget to update the table names then you end up changing the wrong data.
It is a bit more risky to copy master data pages but it can save you a lot of time changing label names and to remember the security settings.


Your photo's are still beautiful despite your lack of assistants;) I've been a little obsessed with cornmeal lately since I ordered some from Anson Mill's. I can't wait to try this. Cornmeal and blackberries are meant for each other.
That looks delicious! I might have to try this once I can get fresh local berries up here!
what a great job that must have been! i dream about that. the texture of the pudding like souffle and the cornmeal has to be terrific!
You just brought back tons of memories. I spent 3 1/2 weeks filming a crafting tv show and the experience sounds very very similar. Bookworthy for sure!
This souffle looks amazing! I love the idea of cornmeal in it.
What a wonderful opportunity, indeed!! Thank you for sharing!!
Oh my, that soufflé - perfection!!
I can't even imagine what it takes to photograph food for a tv show, I have a heck of a time just taking pictures of what I bake! This souffle looks wonderful, I've never baked with cornmeal either but have some and will try this, thanks!
Cornmeal and berries! Sounds fantastic and what great looking souffles, despite your trouble photographing them.
Ooh this is a great idea for using some of the cornmeal I bought for another recipe. I have a huge bag that needs to go to use.
And to second and third what others have been saying, the photos still look lovely.
What beautiful souffles, I love the colors!
That sounded like a great opportunity!
This is the kind of cake we love to eat on Sunday evenings...cozy and delicious!


I fear that by the end of this blog, people are going to be condemning me as a curmudgeon with no sense of humour. Ah well.
Lake Superior State University has been receiving global coverage for its annual list of words which should be banished, a list which it has been issuing for close on four decades. It contains a dozen words which it says should immediately be sent packing from the English language.
Now on Wordability, I have certainly commented that I dislike certain new words and phrases, and hoped that they don't catch on. But once they do cement their place in the language, well that's just linguistic life. And just because you don't like them, there is nothing you can do about it. Thankfully, English is not a language where membership is decided by fusty academics behind closed doors, and I find myself slightly aggravated by the idea of banishing words, even though it is clearly tongue in cheek. I assume, anyway.
Fiscal Cliff tops the new list. But it is typical of all of the words on the list. It came into being because it needed to, because it fulfilled a linguistic gap that was demanding to be filled, so to banish it is to banish the concept itself or to ignore the need to find a way of talking about it. Spoiler Alert is an equally useful linguistic shorthand, YOLO has become a vital tool of social communication, and Trending is the perfect descriptor of what is happening on social networks, despite my wife telling me it is not a word whenever I use it.
Frankly, all these words need to exist. Do some of them offend my ears? Yes. Should we therefore get rid of them, just because they irritate us? Of course not. And I do find it slightly rich of Lake Superior University to run its results on the same page as its slogan, 'Redefining The Classroom', which is a phrase which sounds much worthier of banishment than any of those I have previously mentioned.
One final note – I would imagine that the American Dialect Society believes these words should not be banished either, as many of them made it to the shortlist for its word of 2012. But in the end Fiscal Cliff and Yolo, to name but two, lost out to hashtag.
I'm slightly surprised by the result – for me, hashtag has been well established for some time and was already entrenched before last year. But that's just my view. What is clear is that it is a modern word which is necessary. So expect to see it on a list of words which should be banished any moment now.
