Q: android - get resource id from gallery So i have a program with a Gallery (made with pictures from the resources folder), a Button and an ImageView
I want to choose one of the images from the gallery, press the button, and change the ImageView bitmap to display the one selected from the gallery...
I have the changing methods from activity to activity all fixed... but i'm just having trouble getting the id of the image picked, the integer, drawable, long, string... or whatever it helps...
Here's the code:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.gallery);

            Gallery g = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
            g.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

            g.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {

                    //CODE TO KNOW IF PICKED THE 1ST OR 2ND IMAGE

                    //Toast.makeText(Galeria.this, v.getId() + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    //Toast.makeText(Galeria.this, parent.getItemIdAtPosition(position) + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    //Toast.makeText(Galeria.this, id + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                   }
            });
}

public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    int mGalleryItemBackground;
    private Context mContext;

    private Integer[] mImageId = {
            R.drawable.image1, //first image
            R.drawable.image2, //second image
    };

    public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
        mContext = c;
        TypedArray a = c.obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.Gallery1);
        mGalleryItemBackground = a.getResourceId(R.styleable.Gallery1_android_galleryItemBackground, 0);
        a.recycle();
    }

    public int getCount()
        return mImageId.length;
    }

    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        ImageView i = new ImageView(mContext);

        i.setImageResource(mImageId[position]);

        i.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(400, 225));
        i.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY);
        i.setBackgroundResource(mGalleryItemBackground);

        return i;
    }
}

The three Toast there on the OnItemClick void are my attempts of showing the id... but only showing the position of the image from the gallery.
Is there any other solution? I've read something about the dynamics ids... but could understand well...
Where should I put the code to get my desired id??
Any Help? Thanks.

A:  g.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {

                //CODE TO KNOW IF PICKED THE 1ST OR 2ND IMAGE
                int imageId = (Integer) (parent.getItemAtPosition(position));
                myImageView.setImageResource(imageId);
                //Toast.makeText(Galeria.this, v.getId() + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                //Toast.makeText(Galeria.this, parent.getItemIdAtPosition(position) + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                //Toast.makeText(Galeria.this, id + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
               }
        });

In your adapter getItem should return the object of the dataset
public Object getItem(int position) {
        return (mImageId[position]);
 }

A: You can do something like this to get the image view resource as drawable on your itemClickListener :
(ImageView)view.getBackground()

This will return image as drawable of selected image view's resource.


** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 7 at 0602, VON is on for a change, Hausa.
9689.92 approx., Thu Feb 7 at 1727-1738+, VON in English with news about Nigeria, fair via UTwente SDR, and since it`s a weekday, no QRM yet from Spain. Apparently new transmission intends to be daily, altho missing last Sunday. Via WOR Hitlist, website https://www.von.gov.ng/ has no obvious link to a plain old SW transmission or program schedule.
1615-1630 in a vernacular, possibly Igbo or Yoruba ?
hours of the English service" So English should continue until 1900.
It looks as though this is a revised schedule with the extra broadcastbetween 1600-1800 UT. Further checking needed to establish the evening schedule after 1900 – but reception is difficult with co-channel Spain at that time.
** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-AM, Feb 7 at 1309, S4-S6 rock music with heavy beat, screaming, or is it soul? First thought is RCW, Radio Compañía Worldwide, the Chilean pirate mostly reported by Claudio Galaz in Chile. But no, it`s too late for that, way after sunrise there.
** PALAU. 10035, Feb 7 at 1245, VP signal with music. Has to be spurious from 31m SWBC band here in the aero band. First check for Cuba, of course! but no match on 9640. Then start tuning down and soon find // on 9965, good signal, 70 kHz away. Clinched with an equally weak spur on 9895, 70 kHz below 9965, all with praise music in English. 1259 `Onward Christian Soldiers` theme and 1300 chimes, into Korean. Aoki shows T8WH with WHR music before 1300 M-F, then Nippon no Kaze daily. HFCC shows HBN 9965 not the air before 1300, then Encompass brokering something in Korean.
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Feb 7 at 1408 UT, with KRVN nulled as much as possible, Spanish M&W chat, bits of norteña music, mentions Nuevo León, 1412 fading, 1417 back with ID mentioning 880. Loops approx. SW/NE and my first thought is XEV Chihuahua2, but IRCA Mexican Log says: XEV has finished moving to FM, but from 2017 there has been a CP for another station there, XECHEP, 5000/250 watts, Escápate al Paraiso. Unless that`s started up, the only other likely N/W Mexican this late would be XEPNK, Los Mochis, Sinaloa.

Historical Data After crowds out-grew Pasadena's Tournament Park, architect Myron Hunt drew up plans for the construction of the Rose Bowl stadium in 1921. The Arroyo Seco dry riverbed was selected as the location for the stadium, which was under construction from 1921-1922. The Rose Bowl was opened on October 8, 1922 at a cost of $272,198, but was officially dedicated on January 1, 1923 with the first Rose Bowl game between USC and Penn State (USC defeated Penn, 14-3). The stadium was originally built as a horseshoe and was expanded several times over the years, the design was intended to accommodate as many patrons as possible. The southern stands were completed in 1928, making the stadium a complete bowl. For many years, the Rose Bowl had the largest football stadium capacity in the U.S., and from 1972 to 1997; the maximum seating capacity was 104, 594. Current official seating capacity is 92,542. In the years that followed, the Rose Bowl game grew to become the 'granddaddy' of all bowl games, because of its stature as the oldest of all the bowl games. The Rose Bowl stadium is a National Historic Landmark, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 1987.
Description Photograph caption dated January 2, 1962 reads, "The ball is seen floating towards UCLA's Don Vena, left, and Kermit Alexander, right (No. 33), during third quarter pass play yesterday at Rose Bowl. Alexander caught pigskin thrown by Bobby Smith for six-yard gain. Minnesota rolled to a convincing 21-3 victory over the Bruins. Others shown are Tom Paton (No. 68 light jersey), UCLA guard and Tom Hall (No. 68 dark jersey), Minnesota end."

March primary school chef wows judges at School Chef of the Year 2014
Published: 12:35 PM January 23, 2014
Neil Hulkes. - Credit: Archant
A talented school chef impressed a panel of judges with his delicious dessert at a prestigious cooking competition.
Father of four Neil Hulkes, of Cavalry Primary School, March, was awarded the Highly Commended Dessert prize at the Eastern region final of School Chef of the Year 2014 in Luton.
He conjured up a coriander infused panna cotta served with fresh orange segments and raspberry coulis.
The dish was praised by judges for being "well executed, tasty and of a very high professional standard".
The 34-year-old, who saw off 20 other chefs to win the Cambridgeshire stage, was up against chefs from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Luton in the Eastern final.
The overall winner and Eastern region School Chef of the Year 2014 was Tanya Watkin, of Woodland Middle Academy School, Flitwick, Bedfordshire.
He said: "I was chuffed to bits when I won the Cambridgeshire stage. It was disappointing to just miss out in the Eastern final but the experience was a good learning curve and I will be back next year to put Cavalry school on the map."
Mr Hulkes joined Cavalry school last summer after working in hotels and restaurants.
Two of his children go to Cavalry, so he gets to cook for them both at home and work.
He said: "It was the same for me because my mother was a chef at the school I went to in Peterborough."
Each entrant was required to produce, in just one and a half hours, a healthy balanced two-course meal that would appeal to 11 year-olds in school.
A maximum of £1.60p was allowed for the cost of a single meal for one child.

The client's supply-push production model meant that vehicles were selling at a discount relative to competitors who used demand-pull models. But because this approach was integrated into every aspect of the business, the client needed to transform operations. Bain helped develop and implement production solutions that crossed functional and value chain borders. As a result, the company's performance improved substantially.
To manage costs and deliver quality, CarCo* needed to fundamentally rethink its operations model.
While conducting a major strategy review for CarCo, a large automobile manufacturer, Bain uncovered a major operational issue: the company needed to fundamentally change its production model.
CarCo's costly supply-push production model caused the company to sell vehicles at a discount relative to those competitors who used demand-pull production.
The company wanted to reduce complexity and improve its manufacturing and purchasing. Because the supply-push approach was completely integrated into every aspect of the business, however, major transformations of processes and associated operations improvements were needed at every step of the value chain.
A tactical approach to operations improvement could have delivered short-term benefits. Instead, Bain supported the client in developing and implementing a completely new operations strategy. To optimize its business, CarCo needed long-term, integrated solutions that crossed functional and value chain borders.
After quantifying the many benefits of a true demand-pull system, Bain created a new value chain to focus multiple pieces of work into an overall corporate strategy.
By working at multiple CarCo locations in Europe and North America, Bain was able to develop a new operations strategy and implementation plan.
As a result of Bain's work to transform the company's operations, CarCo was able to improve its performance substantially.
Companies today have unprecedented opportunities to move functions to low-cost countries and tap into the capabilities of overseas suppliers.
Most companies are already pursuing a variety of initiatives that constitute today's conventional wisdom for improving supply management.

President Harry S. Truman once said he wanted an economist who was one-handed. Why? Because his economic advisors would typically give him economic advice stating, "On the one hand…and on the other…" (Thredgold, 2001).
It may seem like a bit of a jump to go from practicing economists to learners, but like everyone, every economist had to start somewhere. Anyone who has read economics will surely chuckle in recognition and appreciation at the anecdote, but the position itself isn't as unlikely as the joke makes it sound—a lot of jokes work that way. The world is a complex place, especially when you throw ...

Espresso House is een Scandinavische keten van koffiebars, vergelijkbaar met Starbucks. De koffiebar heeft meer dan 255 koffiehuizen verspreid over Zweden, Noorwegen, Finland en Denemarken. Dagelijks komen er anno 2022 ca 100.000 bezoekers.

Espresso House was tot september 2012 eigendom van het Britse durfkapitaalbedrijf Palamon Capital Partners, dat ook Coffee Cup kocht, die in 1997 in Stockholm begon. Beide merken werden verenigd onder de naam Espresso House, waardoor de keten sterk groeide. In september 2012 kocht het Noorse durfkapitaalbedrijf Herkules Capital de keten en in 2015 verkocht het deze aan JAB Holding Company.

Looking for the perfect Father's Day Cocktail?
To make this cocktail properly, you will first have to find a misting vessel. Â Vintage perfume bottles or atomizers work really well and are generally pretty cheap on online auction sites, thrift stores, and antique shops. If you don't feel like hunting for a such an upscale solution, you can use a glass, aluminum, or stainless steel olive oil mister- but they usually hold quite a bit more liquid than you'll need. In a pinch, you can also use a small plastic travel spritzer (like the kind you buy in airline toiletry kits for a buck or two), but the acidity of citrus will degrade the plastic over time, so you will have to empty the bottle and clean it after use (not after every martini- just at the end of the night). I recommend taking the time to find a long term misting solution so that it can be used with various liqueurs and fortified wines in addition to the following recipe. Plus.. Doesn't a cocktail mister sound like a pretty awesome Father's Day present….? Just sayin.
Using a citrus press, juice 2 limes and strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp that may clog your mister before funneling in. In a cocktail tin with ice, stir 2 1/2 oz of Clique Vodka until a thin frost forms on the outside of the tin. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass that has been misted a few times with lime juice. Garnish with a lime wheel or lime twist.
If your Father prefers lemon over lime juice, go ahead and make his day by switching it up- the "Mister Cocktail" is all about the misting method over anything else. Of course, if Dad really favors classic martinis, you can substitute dry Italian vermouth in place of citrus juice.


UMA BHARTI and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today attended same religious function at Jamunia village in Ichhawar Assembly segment with a difference of a few hours, obviously to avoid facing each other. They had gone to the village on invitation of former minister and MLA Karan Singh Verma.
However, senior BJP leader Kailash Joshi not only shared the dais with the Sadhvi but was also closeted with her for about 15 minutes at Verma's residence.
Joshi was characteristically polite to the expelled BJP leader who, in turn, reciprocated the gesture with same humility.Having finished his speech, Joshi waited for the Sadhvi's arrival for about an hour in a room away from the dais, and later shared the dais with her.
The occasion was a function to mark construction of a Lord Shiva temple at Jamunia. Among the keen listeners to Uma's sermons was wife of Kailash Joshi, who had asked their son and MLA Deepak Joshi to side with Uma Bharti at the time of show of strength in the BJP. Uma called Ms Joshi "Amma" in her speech today.
Joshi's meeting with Uma Bharti assumes significance in the backdrop of his recent statements advocating the expelled leader's return to the party and his trip to Delhi tonight.
Joshi, however, told the Hindustan Times that he was there to attend a religious programme and nothing should be read between the lines.
Neither Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the morning nor Kailash Joshi later talked politics. The function was steeped in religion and they too maintained its sanctity. The Sadhvi, however, took the opportunity to send out a message to her followers.
She said Lord Shiva with his wisdom and efforts maintained such a cordial atmosphere in his family that the snake he had around his neck did not swallow its favourite food mouse, which is also the 'vahana' of Lord Ganesha. Likewise, she added, the peacock, the 'vahana' of Lord Shiva's elder son Kartikeya, did not attack its enemy, the snake, and the lion with Goddess Parvati never harmed Nandi.
A philosophical Uma spoke of people's ego saying that they nurtured delusion in their entire life that it was they who controlled the nature and the universe.
The sadhvi reminded the women, present in a good number at the venue, of their immense strength and that the men could make progress only with the help of women.
"Bina apni patni ke sahyog ke Joshiji Joshiji nahi ban pate aur bina apni patni ke sahyog ke Karan Singh Verma chunav nahi jeet paate," she said.

Alain Ducasse is the only chef to have held three Michelin stars at three different restaurants in three different cities. Now that's quite something! With a list of accolades and awards as long as my arm, it seemed the obvious choice for my three star Michelin experiment. May as well end this experiment with the best of the best!
Located in the beautiful Dorchester Hotel on London's Park Lane – a hotel that is synonymous with luxury and style, The Better Half (TBH) and I were warmly greeted by the smart doormen and led through the Promenade with it's stunning floral arrangements and pianist tinkling away at the ivories. You really do feel like you've stepped into another much more elegant world. Restaurant Alain Ducasse is located off one of the many oak doors leading off here. Another greeting from the ladies at the restaurant reception and we're taken through to our table in the centre of the restaurant. It's a stunning room made even more beautiful by the Luminaire – a sort of private room encased by what looks to be millions of threads of glass beads. We were left to peruse the menu, but as this is part of my experiment, we already knew that we would have the set lunch. The notable difference to this menu was that it included 2 glasses of wine each. Result!
To kick things off, a plate of gougéres – black pepper, paprika and emmental. We had gougéres at Alyn Williams and both agreed that we preferred the ones we had there. These, in my opinion, didn't taste freshly made (I'm sure they were). The flavours weren't that pronounced either and I'm not sure we really needed a plate piled that high with what is just meant to be 'a little taste'.
The second amuse bouche was a royalle. I didn't know what this was, but was told that it's basically a baked custard flavoured with different things. In this case celeriac, foie gras and crouton. Texturally, I didn't enjoy this dish. I found it difficult to differentiate between the egg custard and foie gras and the croutons had softened by then, so they didn't add the much needed crunch. It doesn't help that I don't like celeriac though – so that may have had some bearing on my enjoyment of this dish. TBH on the other hand, really enjoyed this dish. I wasn't all that impressed by this point – early days though, I know.
I started with cookpot of crayfish, egg and girolles. The dish was intensely flavoured and the egg yolk added to the richness. The crayfish and girolles brought a lovely meatiness to the dish. All in all, it was a delicious and enjoyable start.
TBH chose lettuce velouté with frogs legs for his starter. He's had frogs legs before in France and really enjoyed them – apparently just like chicken wings – but I'm not brave enough to find out for myself. This wasn't the most photogenic of dishes, vibrant green in colour with big chunks of deboned frogs legs, he really enjoyed it.
For my main course, I chose potato gnocchi, sautéed squid and green peas. I have very fond memories of a childhood friend's Italian mom making us gnocchi from scratch before heading out on a Friday night! I've loved it since but have never had gnocchi as good. Until this meal. Some of the gnocchi had been flavoured with squid ink, hence the black appearance. They were salty and fishy and perfectly balanced the sweetness of the peas. The plain potato gnocchi was creamy in the centre, as light as a feather and just utterly delicious. For me, the sautéed squid was almost unnecessary. Well cooked, but I would've been perfectly happy with a plate full of gnocchi!
TBH went for braised lamb shoulder, carrots and baby onions. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with crispy cubes of polenta that soaked up the rich and silky jus. The carrots bringing more texture and a little sweetness to the dish. An enjoyable main course for him.
I ordered contemporary Vacherin to end things off. I was shocked when it arrived because I was expecting cheese! Unknowingly to me there is also a dessert by the same name, which is meringue with ice cream or chantilly cream. It was a nice dessert, but I couldn't help being slightly disappointed that it wasn't the much longed for cheese.
TBH had the chocolate/strawberry composition for dessert, which was a chocolate ganache and strawberry cream with a stracciatella ice cream on the side. A beautiful looking dessert that tasted just as good.
Petit fours were chocolate ganache, chocolate coated almonds, nougat, salted caramels and macaroons. All were enjoyable and what we couldn't finish was bagged up for us to take home. A nice touch.
Service was efficient and professional as you would expect of a restaurant of this calibre, but we both felt that it was all a little too rehearsed. It was like watching synchronised swimming and the flow of things didn't feel very natural. The total bill came to £209.25, which included a few extra drinks and service.
All in all, although it was an enjoyable lunch in beautiful surroundings I just didn't feel that warm glow afterwards. I'm just not convinced it was that much better than some of the other restaurants I've eaten in.
In my next post I will do a round up of my thoughts on this experiment. It's been fun and I am so grateful to be able to have such fantastic foodie experiences!

This video builds off of the post from last week explaining the workflow I used to add landscaping elements via Photoshop. There was a lot of information to cover in a short amount of time, so the video slows down at important stages of the process and speeds up where the steps have already been discussed and would be redundant to explain again. You will probably notice a lot of similarities to the GRASS TUTORIAL, however this video better explains how to handle shadows as well as adding trees and vines.
If you look at the last post you will notice that there is still some post processing to be done. I will try to cover this in the future. Its mostly simple stuff such as adding people and color overlays. See you next week.
Thank you so much Alex for your insightful posts. Always look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work mate.
amazing! thank you so much !
great, but in the image in the post below, it appears with a touch os sunset, how do you create this effect?
Your work is very nice and detailed. I like the shadows of the windows and the color variation of the grass. Thanks for sharing!
Where do you get your brushes from??
Great work, your tutorials are always very helpful. It's great to see the before and after images and realize how much is achieved in post-processing.
Es genial que gente como vos, comparta sus conocimientos. !
Felicitaciones por la página. !
You need to start duplicating your layers by holding Alt and dragging! It's so much faster than using right click, etc. Hope this helps!
Just a small point to other readers, if you export the profiles and edges of this scene with the surroundings layer turned off, and use the magic wand to select the white space around it and invert, this could be quicker than taking the Lasso around it.
Your work is fantastic and you are very generous for sharing your talent with the rest of us. Thank you.
And might I say, on behalf of any lucky person that has stumbled upon your work and spread your website, that you are a miracle. I am binge watching all your tutorials and portfolio tutorials. You will definitely help unlock the creativity in me and expand my work. I just got through talking to a classmate about how I am not touching my rendering until I have watched enough of your videos…then I told them in the summer I will watch all your portfolio stuff and I advised them to do the same. I hope access to your work never goes away. It would truly be a lost in the design community. Keep up the fantastic work. I am in aw over you.


If you're an advisor looking to make a move, you need to look at why, and then decide.
There's no doubt that recruiting deals have taken a big hit—that is, dropping to levels we haven't seen in years. With that, advisors who are considering a move are left with an uncomfortable decision.
For those advisors for whom money is the primary motivator, staying put may be their best option – that is, to wait things out.
Since when does a recruiter say, "Stay put"?
We are living in what can be described truly as unprecedented times—a time where deals that everyone believed were only going up have actually come down. Will transition packages rise? And if so, will we see 350%+ deals again? The truth is, it's anybody's guess. There are many factors at play—the overall changing regulatory environment, the DOL Fiduciary Rule, and the new administration notwithstanding. And of course, each of the firms will be watching one another to gauge their responses because they each want to gain a competitive advantage.
Looming is the notion that leaders at all firms have been looking for an opportunity to bring down the cost of recruiting an advisor because, from their perspective, transition packages have gotten out of hand. The waves of disruption have provided just the right opportunity for firms to reassess and recalibrate. Ultimately, whether 250% is the "new normal" for top recruiting deals can only be answered months from now as the firms look at their success in recruiting with these lower packages.
So as an advisor who may be evaluating one of these new lower deals, I ask you this: What is your motivation to make a move?
Yet those who are choosing to move despite where deals are now – including a number of multi-billion dollar teams just since the beginning of the year – are doing so with a mindset driven by a different agenda, one much less focused on immediate monetization. The majority of these recent moves are advisors and teams looking to leave the wirehouse world behind for an alternative model –regional firms or some version of independence – where recruiting packages have been largely unaffected, and in many cases, where the real economic benefit of the move is in the long-term.
Take the example of the family team who left UBS late last year to form the independent RIA The Harvest Group. While I wasn't the recruiter who facilitated this deal, it's safe to assume that this team eschewed maximum transition money in return for better take home pay, the ability to build enterprise value, and the freedom, flexibility and control to best serve their clients.
That said, there are teams who still feel that having a big name provides the value they need to build their business. Consider the $8mm J.P. Morgan Securities team in Los Angeles that joined Morgan Stanley earlier this month—despite the fact that the deal they got was likely lower than deals offered to their like-sized colleagues not more than a few months ago. The motivation for a team like this has more to do with looking to solve for things that couldn't be fixed as long as they worked under the J.P. Morgan umbrella, and to leverage unique offerings from Morgan Stanley. So even though the monetary incentive wasn't as great as they may have hoped for, the ability to better serve their clients provides a growth strategy that can, in the longer-term, outpace a transition package.
And, it's worth mentioning that there are still some very high quality firms outside of the wirehouse world that are leveraging their competitive advantage and, for now, offering transition packages in excess of 300%.
While the bar had been set at 350%, the reality is that those deals no longer exist. What hasn't changed is the fact that if you are considering a move, it must be done with a clear understanding of what your goals are, what's most important to you, and what you are willing to leave on the table. So with that in mind, advisors still have plenty of choices: adjust to the new normal, move to independence, go to a regional firm, or simply stay put.
While we can't predict whether deals will inch back up – nor if they'll go down even further – the simple truth is that if deals as they stand aren't robust enough to motivate one to move, when all things are considered, watching and waiting may be the best option.


Enjoy a classic Thanksgiving dinner with this essential, hearty, creamy and soul-soothing vegetable side dish —Green Bean Casserole with Fresh Fried Onions. The thinly-sliced fried onions add a special flavor and crisp, which makes it the casserole's iconic counterpart. This recipe's flavor combo is just divine!
Delicious, easy to make and very hearty. It's the perfect vegetable recipe for your Thanksgiving dinner!
Melt butter over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Toss in the mushrooms and garlic. Heat and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
Shake in the flour. Mix briskly for 1 to 2 minutes, keeping flour from burning. Mix in the salt and pepper.
Carefully whip in the milk and soy sauce, pulling browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Heat to a light boil. Heat while whisking until the sauce thickens to a thick soup consistency about 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir together the sauce with the steamed green beans in a casserole dish. Stir to combine. Heat in the oven about 15 minutes until bubbly. Take out of the oven and top with Fresh Fried Onions.
Separate onion slices. Dredge onion slices in flour until coated evenly.
In a sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove excess flour from onions pieces and add to melted butter in pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed, wiping out pan between batches.
Turn golden brown onions over after 1 to 2 minutes. Add more butter to pan if onions begin looking dry.
Drain onions on a paper-towel lined plate. Season with salt.
Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and green bean casserole for a Thanksgiving dinner? There's nothing more classic than that!

Hetfield asked how to sing like Chris Isaak
By Martin Kielty published 24 April 15
James' vocals on Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven were inspired by pop star, says Bob Rock
James Hetfield asked how to sing like pop star Chris Isaak before recording the iconic Black Album, producer Bob Rock has recalled.
The frontman had been inspired by Isaak's trademark hit Wicked Game, and wanted to match the vocal emotion in his own performances.
Rock tells Talk Is Jericho: "He said, 'Bob, I've never really sung before – I've just kind of yelled.' He played me a Chris Isaak record and said, 'On Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven, I want to sing. How do you sing like this?'"
The solution was "a great vocal sound" so that Hetfield didn't have to double-track, the producer explains.
"I said, 'What you hear in Chris Isaak's voice is the nuances when he sings. He isn't doubled, he's actually performing. You perform.'
"We set it up so he had a great sound and then he sang. Every day he got better and he got comfortable with it. He became a great singer."
Metallica's Black Album, launched in 1991, remains their biggest-selling release. They're currently working on the follow-up to 2008's Death Magnetic – despite guitarist Kirk Hammett losing 250 riffs for the project. They return to the UK to headline the Reading and Leeds festivals in August.
Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he's also penned several books on music history. He's appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK's vast canal network.

Axparken (Tähkäpuisto på finska) ligger i Petrelius i Åbo. Parken invigdes på Åbo-dagen 1982. De äldsta träden är från en trädgårdsskola på samma område, som upphörde med sin verksamhet 1968. Parkens area är drygt hälften av de 7,7 hektar som reserverats för den. Resten av området har bevarats som äng och skog.

I parken finns en stor mängd olika barr- och lövträd (37), buskar (110) samt perenner och kryddväxter (90) försedda med skyltar som talar om vilka arter det är frågan om, i synnerhet i en del som invigdes på FN-dagen grönskans år 1985.

Parkens stolthet är rosenträdgården, den största i Finland med historiska rosor. I rosariet finns 1600 buskrosor av 400 olika sorter, varav en del mycket sällsynta. En betydande del av rosorna har donerats av rosenmadame Toini Grönqvist, som också gjorde en plan för rosariet. Rosariet har fått mindre donationer från andra håll. Rosariet ingår i ett större experiment, där historiska rosor planterats i olika omgivningar. De enskilda rosenbuskarna har dedicerats olika personer och samfund. Rosariet invigdes 1995.

A: *

*Don't extend JFrame unnecessarily

*Don't use null/AbsoluteLayout have a look here for some LayoutManager choices

*Don't manually call setBounds on components, use a LayoutManager and let the components size themselves and simply call pack() on the JFrame

*Don't call setContentPane of the JFrame to simply add a JPanel, either call JFrame#getContentPane() or simple just call JFrame#add(...), maybe thats my preference

*Your class names are not something you usually see in Java (underscores lower cased letters), they should be Pascal Cased i.e. KnapsackApp, ZeroOneKnapsack no underscores etc. although its valid its not the normal convention.

*Same applies to your variable names (textField_1) usually this would be Camel Cased i.e. textField1 also probably would be better to give them better names i.e. elementsLabel.

*Separate your concerns, you have a class nested in a JButtons actionPerformed (I assume to access JTextFields etc, but that's not necessary), create it in a separate file, pass in arguments to the solve method  and return the result which you then  use to set the results JLabel value.

*You don't even create a instance of the Zero_One_Knapsack class to call solve in the buttons actionPerformed.

*Perhaps use a SwingWorker to do the work in the background and publish the results to the UI after (so the UI doesn't freeze) if its even possible for the Knapsack to take that long.

*To accept comma separted integers and convert them into an array of integers you could siply use Java 8 Streams:

String line = "1,2,3,1,2,2,1,2,3,"; // example from textFeild.getText()
int[] numbers = Arrays.stream(line.split(",")).mapToInt(Integer::parseInt).toArray();

Here is the code refactored to give you some idea of what you should be aiming for, I'm no saying it works as you want, but hopefully with some things cleaned up you will be given a good foundation and understanding to finish it up:

Why is happiness so hard to hold on to?
When you're happy life's so light, deliciously bright, you could honestly dance all night.
You feel you're skipping through your day – laughing, loving, living so light!
You feel you can take life on and come out victorious. Watch out world, here I come, ready or not!
But then happiness is so easily torn from your fingers without warning.
And life is so heavy, your sky so thunderous, all you can do is just stumble through the day.
Over the years there were times when stumbling through the day was more than I could do. There were family rows with me caught in the middle, financial headaches that were more like migraines, redundancy, bad news about friends and plenty more.
The sun definitely wasn't shining on me.
In those dark times, I used to dream of being able to summon up happiness in life at will – of having a magic recipe to blow those gloomy rain clouds way over the horizon and to fill my sky with rainbows.
But life has a funny way of showing us the answer at the most unexpected times.
In those times I began to notice, I sat staring at my hands a lot. Blankly looking in despair, almost as though I thought there should be an answer staring back at me. As if my hands held special powers and if I looked long enough I'd find that I could shoot rainbows of happiness out of my fingertips.
And you know, I can. And so can you.
Just when I felt I'd hit the bottom of the well and all the water had long dried up, I realized that happiness in life doesn't evaporate, it doesn't disappear; it's right there with us. It's a part of us.
Imagine if you could reach out with your hands and touch happiness again.
Sure tough times would come along again, but you'd be prepared. You'd have a way to get back to happy. To reach out and touch happiness in life again whenever you wanted.
Your hands are your happy place. They still hold the memories of your rainbows, of your happiness.
Take a trip back to one of those special times your mom or dad wrapped their hand around your little fingers. Be happy that you were born from love.
Remember those early friendships, sticky hands holding yours, grabbing you to join in the game. Delight that your friends can't imagine playing the game of life without you.
That day you first sat on a bicycle, grasping the handlebars, no balance, no direction. Still, you aced the challenge. I remember back to that when I feel down that I'll never get the hang of something new.
That certificate you held, which showed all your hard work had paid off. Be happy that you're plenty smart enough to make life all you want it to be.
Remember the rush of holding hands with your first love. Not every relationship lasts forever but be joyful that your irresistibility has already been proven.
That time you dropped everything for a friend so you could be there to put your arm around them. Remember how you made them feel. Be glad that your loyalty is a huge part of who you are.
Recapture the freedom you felt the day you drove a motorcycle or car alone for the first time. Delight in knowing that whatever your situation your independence is still your decision.
Think of the warmth and sense of peace you share with your dog, cat or other pet as you cuddle them. It makes me so happy I could burst knowing the enormous capacity to love and build trust we all have.
Recall that day in the sweetshop, sticky treats in your hand, so full of glee. Be glad that simple pleasures still excite you – this is one of my favorite happiness boosts.
Relive the oh-so-recent time your son or daughter hugged the life out of you or your friend wrapped their arms tightly around you. Be ecstatic that others' lives are better purely because you're a part of them.
Remember that time you pressed the 'yes' button on that big purchase. Be confident that when it's important to you, decisive is your middle name. I get the biggest happiness kick out of knowing I've already proven I can make decisions when they really count.
You know the sound of coins dropping into a donation tin, even when you already had plans for that money in your pocket? Well, so does the person who benefited from your generosity. Be happy that you spread happiness whenever you can.
Picture the smile you received when you automatically held the door open for the person behind you or gave up your seat. Be happy that your considerate nature spreads joy wherever you go.
Relive the delight you felt in holding up the finished picture you'd painted or the craft piece you'd created that now illuminates your home so beautifully. Be happy that your creativity can brighten up each day. I run my fingers round the frame of my paintings for a joy boost time and again.
Think back to the time a co-worker or stranger suddenly just opened up to you. Be happy that you make others feel good just by being yourself.
You'll never forget the excitement of turning the key in the door of your first apartment. Be happy that you can look after yourself in life. This whips me back to happy when my inner critic is telling me mean lies.
Oh, that day you put your hand up for that job promotion, which took enormous courage.
Be happy that you're gutsy enough to succeed just the way you want to. It makes me smile to physically put my hand up whenever I see an opportunity.
When you counted your blessings on your fingers, you went round both hands several times, didn't you? Be delighted that you've found the happiness boost that being thankful brings. I've worked through my fingers many times and found that life looks instantly brighter.
That time you helped a stranger who had fallen over or a co-worker struggling with a task. You could have walked on by, but you stopped. Be happy that you make others feel good by showing genuine concern.
Recall that time when you involuntarily clasped your hand over your mouth to stifle your laughter. Be happy that you can laugh at yourself and the crazy events that bump into your day.
Think back to that entry you wrote in your journal, the one where you detailed your next exciting goal – hey, maybe that's already become a reality. Be happy that your dreams can become a reality exactly because you can picture just how incredible it will be. I indulge my imagination at every possible opportunity for a total happiness boost.
That little gift you bought to say 'you're special' or the time you did extra chores to save someone you love the effort at the end of their long day, oh wow. Have you any idea how much those little thoughtful acts meant to the other person. Be happy that your natural selflessness makes someone else's happiness happen.
You remember when you opened that message that said 'No thanks, on this occasion, someone else got the job.' Be happy that you're tougher than the disappointments life will throw your way. I've gotten myself back to happy remembering this many times after hearing a door close.
Remember how wholeheartedly you clapped to applaud your colleague when they had the chance to shine. Be happy that you're confident enough not to need always to be center stage.
Take your mind back to that fifth job application you carefully filled out with all the positivity and enthusiasm you put into the first. Be happy that your positive, can-do attitude is a huge part of who you are.
Life's going to throw some stormy weather your way.
Some days are going to seem like hurricane season, leaving you reeling and battered.
And you'll curse the thunderstorms.
Instead, reach out and remember all the times happiness happened right there in your hands.
All the good times you were blessed to have and hold.
And paint your sky with rainbows again.
Be happy that you've already been so happy. And will be again.
Do you find your happiness can disappear in a moment? How do you find your way back to happiness in life? Please share your tips and thoughts in the comments below.
Very clever post…each one a very practical, (and I may add) easy way to become happier, especially the Gratitude part, which is ohhh so important during the tough times. I try to practice graititude when I go to work, as it is great to lift up my spirits.
My favorite is #10 – Realize How Significant You Are. Thinking about how important you are to others is something that makes you feel like you are a part of something bigger. Which we all are. I've never looked at life that way, but it definitely hit a chord with me….thanks!
My way of staying happy is music and doing things I enjoy. I get so easily overwhelmed that when I put myself first and treat myself, it's so lovely!
Hi Shannon – Hooray! I'm so delighted to hear that you make some YOU time whenever possible if you need a happiness boost. My husband and always crank up some 70's Disco music (in fact we're playing it right now!!) for a super happiness session.
I've also found that planting seeds makes my happiness soar – I started with a couple of avocado stones (having eaten the avacados) and now have three mini trees! My lemon pips have also become little trees too – it's something to do with giving something else the chance of life and caring for it that works absolutely for me.
Perhaps you have a creative passion or a sporty one that you make some precious time for?
It's important to think we're smart but not to show it up though. We usually say to myself why am I so dumb through mistakes we make?… instead of put it as a lesson we learned.
Have you found that if you then put your smartness into action that you get a double happiness boost? I'd love to hear your ideas on this.
Good points to motivate the self. I always try to find happiness in the simplest day to day activities and things. Happiness comes in various forms and ways. It depends on how we appreciate those real sources of happiness.
One thing which I always keep in mind whenever I feel low is that, there are a lot of people around us who are in more suffering and pain than me. This helps a lot!
Hi Tuhin, it's a wonderful treat to read your thoughts here. I love the way you focus on the simplest daily activities, that is such a great way to give yourself a big and immediate happiness boost. I'm a firm believer that simplicity is a recipe and philosophy for happiness. Instead of chasing complicated, expensive or far off ideas that could make us happy, there are a raft of genuine, tangible happiness boosters right in front of us – watching the birds perching on the flowers outside my window, hugging my hubby, waving to my neighbors, even washing up after dinner!
Hi Laura, Yes, when we count our blessings we can grasp happiness again. You give a wonderful list of ways we can be grateful for all of the many things that are right in our lives.
Faith can also bring comfort, knowing that God is watching over us and will care for us even in the darkest times.
Glad to read your wonderful list they are really very interesting. Research shows that experiences make us much happier than things. Even when activities and outings don't turn out as perfectly as we'd hoped, people will remember the good times, not the disappointments. Eventually, thanks for sharing your ideology regarding this wonderful subject.
Thanks for adding such a great point Amar. For many people, experiences are more happy-making than things, but not for everyone – some people derive genuine joy from possessions which is great too. However, for those of us who find experiences are what its all about, recalling those happy times, those achievements, those special times – that can take us right back to happy quickly. I believe focusing on the good times, not the disappointments is a conscious decision to lead a happier life.
Thanks for making me feel good about myself. It's always worth to be grateful and to start the day with a positive thought.
Hi Ilka, thank you so much for joining this discussion. I've found each of these tips to work really well for me, each having their own best scenario, such as looking back to holding the cars of my bicycle, (which in truth was a tricycle only inches off the ground) – I picture gripping those bars so tightly when I'm facing a new challenge or trying to master a new skill – hey, if I managed to learn to keep my balance back then, I can master using new software or driving a big truck with the same kind of practice and patience.
Enjoy the happiness at your fingertips.
What a wonderful list you have provided to boost our own individual happiness. As I was going down the list, there was many HMMM moments I had.
Whenever I feel down, this is a handy list to have to boost myself up. Out of all the traits, I have to say being grateful has kept me going.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Donna. I had many, many HMMM moments while working through the strategies I've found that work for me. And I'm absolutely with you on gratitude – maybe it's a UK thing but we grew up not really hearing the word gratitude but we believed we were unbelievably 'lucky' and were thankful for that. I still whoop at every lucky moment I have.
Enjoy reaching out and touching happiness.


NeoSouljah's poetry combined with her 5 octave range and vocal stylings that excel in R&B, Jazz, Gospel and of course, Neo Soul have afforded her appearances on stages across the country from Jazz Festivals to church pulpits. She has also been found lending her vocals on open mic nights along with HBO Def Poets Abyss, Georgia Me and Malik Salaam to name a few. Most recently, Neo hosted the First Inaugural Tri-C Jazz fest Jam and Poetry session, lending her vocals to an impromptu jazz session accompanied by Hubb's Groove ft. World Renowned Grammy award winning Jazz trumpeter Sean Jones.


Now that Outlook has been dumped Peter Freitag post about Sunbird made me go and install this calendar app into Thunderbird. Then his second post about subscribing to Apple iCal got me downloading the the UK Bank Holidays. All of sudden seeing this in action makes you realise how much standards make using different apps together easy. Though at the moment my only problem is that i've just installed the app into Firefox and they don't seem to sync. Yet.

Innate Immunity 2016: The first line of defence
November 8, 2016 By Euroscicon Off
Innate Immunity 2016
15th – 17th November, Online
www.lifescienceevents.com/innate2016
This is the FIRST live streamed online conference discussing Innate Immunity and will discuss the increasingly appreciated role of the innate immune system in initiating and directing immune responses. We have gathered together invited speakers from around the world, who you might not otherwise have access to.
While vitamin D is best known for its essential role in skeletal health, there is increasing evidence that it has other physiological functions as well. Dr. John White, (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) will discuss the growing evidence that vitamin D is a key regulator of the immune system and boosts the body's capacity to combat infections and control inflammation.
Speakers will discuss the role of the immune system in pathogen recognition, effector function and activation of adaptive responses. Professor Steven R. Van Doren's group, (University of Missouri, Columbia, United States) recently reported ground breaking structural studies of transient MMP complexes with cell surface components and collagen mimics
Considering therapeutic regulation, Dr Daniel Menendez, (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Durham, United States) will be speaking about the Influence of the tumour suppressor p53 on human innate immune responses. " Since p53 is the most altered gene in human cancers, our findings about p53 regulating the expression central components of the innate immunity have many implications for understanding the impact p53 in immunological responses and cancer therapy" (Dr Daniel Menendez).
Those interested in the role of the innate immune system in health and disease and in therapeutic strategies to modulate the immune response would benefit from attending. This includes research scientists and academics, physicians and clinicians, and those who work within the industry
We encourage questions, discussion and debate and have a relaxed atmosphere which generates maximum interaction online.
After registration you will be connected to an online networking site where you will be able to have discussions with all participants of this event, before, during and after the meeting.
The event will be recorded and available for all registered delegates up to a month after the event. So if you can't manage all the days, or the different time zones, you can still have access to the full event.
Invited speakers and their talks Include
Structural Basis of Cell Surface Positioning and Activation of Macrophage-secreted Metalloproteases Professor Steven R. Van Doren University of Missouri United States
Investigating the role of STIM1-mediated calcium signalling and ER-membrane contact sites in dendritic cell biology Dr. Paula Nunes University of Geneva Switzerland
The value of BCG and innate immunity in autoimmune diseases Dr. Denise L Faustman Massachusetts General Hospital United States
A helminth-derived suppressor of IL-33 Dr. Henry McSorley University of Edinburgh Unted Kingdom
Inflammasome activation in non-immune cells – not just a cytokine story Dr. Melanie Scott University of Pittsburgh United States
The role of the human DEAD-box protein DDX3 in innate immunity Dr Martina Schroeder National University of Ireland Maynooth Ireland
Influence of the tumor suppressor p53 on human innate immune responses Dr. Daniel Menendez National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) United States
Peptidoglycan and You: Perfect Together? Dr Catherine Leimkuhler Grimes University of Delaware United States
Innate lymphoid cell defence Dr Rebecca Ingram Queen's University Belfast United Kingdom
The Inflammasome and Intestinal Homeostasis Dr. Hasan Zaki UT Southwestern Medical Center
Impact of microbiota on ocular immunity Professor Mihaela Gadjeva Brigham and Women's Hospital United States
Innate immune responses to pathogenic mycobacteria Dr. Antje Blumenthal The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute Australia
Molecular dynamics insights into NOD1-RIP2 interaction Mr. Jitendra Maharana Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology
A Euroscicon live streamed event gives you access to a wider range of international speakers at a fraction of the cost of a real world event. Furthermore, you no longer have to worry about travel or accommodation expenses, or any arrangements you have which clash with our events.
