This paper provides an analysis on the importance of the Supremacy of the European Union Laws, in helping the EU community to achieve its objectives. The European Union is a political institution, with its own legislative and administrative body. The intention of this Union is to promote the economic development of its member states, and create a single constitution that will guide the affairs of the Union. Despite the existence of the constitution, it has not been ratified by member states; hence it is the EU treaty, and directives established by it, that govern the relationships amongst member states. This paper takes a stand that for the EU to achieve success in meeting its objectives, its laws and directives have to be supreme over the laws and directives of member states.
The principles of the supremacy of the EU denote that, the laws of the European Union are supreme when compared to the laws of the member states. The European Court of Justice introduced this doctrine in 1964, however, to date; it is still controversial with some states arguing against its adoption. This is because of the concept of sovereignty, which allows member states to have a right of determining their laws, without influence from foreign powers. However, there are a number of reasons given, in support of the principles of the EU law. One of these principles is that, there would be uneven application of laws, if this principle does not exist. This is unacceptable within the European Union, mainly because it has the capability of threatening and compromising the legal system of the European Union. Another reason is based on the doctrines of the direct effect which was created by the European Union Court of Justice. This doctrine denotes that certain provisions of the European Laws are directly applicable to the national laws of member states, without any other enactments. This is beneficial to the member states, mainly because it creates uniformity in the application of laws, hence promoting the objectives and mission of the European Union.
The concept or principle of the EU supremacy has never been expressly identified in any of the treaties that form the European Union. This concept was developed by the European Court of Justice through a series of very important rulings and judgments. However, the most important case responsible for introducing this concept of supremacy of EU laws is the case of Costa vs. ENEL. According to this case, the judges denoted that a directly applicable, secondary or primary European law will prevail over the national law, even if, the law under consideration is a breach of the constitution of the country under consideration. Furthermore, in instances where a conflict arises, the national judge has to ignore the national laws, and apply the laws of the European Union aimed at solving the problem under consideration. Furthermore, it is only the European Court of Justice that has the power and ability of annulling the European Laws, by using the European Treaties as a point of reference.
Through this judgment, the European Court of Justice was able to create the doctrine of Supremacy of European Laws. One of the major reasons given for the adoption of this principle is the special nature of the European Union treaty. This treaty was able to create a new legal system, whereby the provisions of the treaty, were part and parcel of the national laws of the member states. This is an indication that the laws of the EU determines the manner which states relate which each other, and their internal governance system. This is a breach of the sovereignty of a member state, and sovereignty is a concept that defines a state. Despite the existence of this argument, a number of scholars supports this doctrine of the Supremacy of the European Union Laws. This is because the executive force of the laws of the European community cannot be different. This is because different laws would jeopardize the attainment of the mission and objectives of the treaty under consideration.
The founders of this treaty realized the dangers of inconsistent and different laws in the member states forming the European Union, hence the development of the concept of the direct effect. This is one of the major values and principles of the European Union, without which, the Union would be unable to meet its objectives. The 2004 case of Mangold better explains how this concept of direct effect is applicable in all the domestic laws of member states. Under this case, the ECJ denoted that directive 2000/78/EC was able to preclude Germany from increasing the statutory age discrimination, through a reduction of a relevant threshold for fixed term contracts, without an objective reason. Furthermore, the ECJ referred to article number 18 (2) of the 2000/78/EC directive which denotes that member states are obligated to realize an equal treatment of people in employment, regardless of their age.
The ability of the court to review and make a ruling in this case, is an indication that the doctrine of Supremacy is applicable in the European Union. Furthermore, the decision by the courts to support the position of the ECJ, by denoting that the laws were contradicting directive 2000/78/EC, is an indication that there is a need of uniform laws aimed at protecting the rights of people within the European Union. Different laws in this regard would frustrate the efforts of the European Union in ensuring that there is equality in the treatment of individuals, within the European Union. In the 1978, case of Simmenthal, the judges were able to denote that any national legal, administrative, judicial and legislative practice that might impair the effectiveness of the European Community Law are null and void. In McCarthy vs. Smith, the court identifies the European Union treaty as an aid, as well as an overriding force. Based on these principles and laws, we are able to denote that the laws of the European Union Community are supreme to the domestic laws. In defending the supremacy of the European Union treaty, Federico explains that it is justifiable because the provisions of the treaty are signed after a series of negotiations, offers, and counter offers.
Based on this fact, the application of laws that are not uniform will frustrate the application and implementation of agreements contained in the European Union treaty. This was the major argument in the Mangold case, where the courts sought to create a uniform law that will protect the rights of people across the member states of the European Union. Furthermore, the issue of supremacy is touched in the case of Van Gend vs. Netherlands. Under this case, the European Court of Justice denoted that the European Union Treaty was able to create a new legal system in the international law, which would benefit the state, but they have to limit their sovereign rights. The court further denoted that the states have voluntarily transferred their sovereignty to the institutions of the European Community. This case further denoted that the articles of the European Union treaty are applicable to the national courts, and they are supreme to the laws of the land.
There are five major reasons why the European Court of Justice was able to insist of this doctrine of Supremacy. One important reason advanced for this case is that it creates a sovereign European Union community. The European Union is a political community, and it has an intention of creating a constitution that is applicable to the entire community. It is important to explain that the constitution exists, but it has not been ratified by the member states. In-fact, article I/6 of the European Union treaty explains that the laws adopted and created by the European Union shall have primacy, over all the national laws of the member states. Nlau explains that the intention of this provision is to create a supreme and sovereign European Union community. It is difficult to achieve this objective if separate laws that contradict the treaties of the Union are created and applied by the member states.
By being a member of the European Union, the state under consideration had transferred some of their sovereign rights to the community. This is a concept or belief that is held by Lord Bridge in the case of R vs. Secretary of State for transportation. Lord Bridge argues that by the ratification of the treaty of European Union, parliament passed some of the sovereign rights of United Kingdom, to the European Union. Based on this fact, the national courts had a right to remove acts of parliament that were contradicting the laws of the European Union. Woods and Watson explain that in a bid to create a common market, there was a need of applying a uniform European Union law within the community. One of the major objectives of the European Union is to establish a common market. It is virtually impossible for this to be achieved if; there are different rules that guide commerce in the member states.
Based on this fact therefore, there is a need of harmonizing the different commerce and business laws in member states, so that they may not contradict the established laws by the European Union. Craig and De Burca further asserts that a supreme European Union law would ensure that member states are not able to create laws aimed at pursuing their own self interest. In the view of Schoitheete , the European Union treaty is formed after a series of negotiations, which involves offers and counter offers, with the intention of finding a compromise that would benefit the entire community. A member state that enacts laws, which contradict the provisions of the EU treaty, goes against this compromise, and it aims at pursuing its own self-interest. This is unacceptable, and unwarranted, mainly because it would compromise the legitimacy of the European Union, and the laws enacted by it. It is therefore an acceptable practice for the laws of the EU to be supreme over the laws of the member states.
Despite the importance of the Supremacy of the EU laws, over that of member states, this concept has gained resistance from these states. It has been difficult to ratify the provisions of this treaty to the constitution of the national state, and their courts have found it difficult to respect these provisions. However, the major point of contention is whether their exist areas in which the member states of the European Union cannot legislate their own laws, and they must defer it, to the European Union. On most occasions, the national courts of member states normally apply the supremacy of the EU laws, based on the provisions of the national laws, as opposed to the rulings of the European Court of Justice. This is because majority of the courts belonging to member states regard themselves as having jurisdiction on issues that affect their national and domestic interests. This is a concept referred to as Kompetenz-Kompetenz. A good example of a country that finds it hard to implement the supremacy of EU laws over its domestic laws is the United Kingdom. This is despite the ruling by the House of Lords, on R vs. Secretary of State for transportation, supporting the Supremacy of the EU law, over its domestic laws.
The reason why the United Kingdom fails to accept the Supremacy of parliament is based on the concept of parliamentary sovereignty. This principle denotes that parliament has the capability of doing anything, other than binding itself to future uncertainties. The UK membership to the European Union has not affected the sovereignty of the British parliament. This is despite the existence of the 1972 European Communities Act, which allowed for the incorporation of EU laws into the British legal system. However, it is important to explain that the ECA 19722 is an important legislation that tried to regulate the kind of laws passed by the British parliament. This law denotes that any law passed by parliament, should not contradict the provisions of the EU treaty. This was a movement towards the recognition of the supremacy of the EU laws and policies. In Macarthy vs. Smith, Lord Denning explains that the treaty should be regarded as supreme, and an aid to the British laws.
However, Duke vs. GEC Reliance Systems explains that the principles of Macarthy are not applicable to domestic laws that are not compatible with the provisions of the laws of the EU. In the case of Duke vs. GEC reliance, the Von Colson principle was adopted, which required that all domestic laws should be interpreted, independently, and they must not be influenced by the laws or authority of the European Union. Cases such as Pickstone vs. Freeman, Lister vs. Forth Dry Dock all agree on the supremacy of domestic laws, as opposed to that of the EU. However, they use the purposive approach, in ensuring that the domestic laws under consideration are compatible with the laws of the European Union. This provision is further best explained in the case of Lister vs. Forth Dry Dock, where the court denoted parliament can pass a legislation whose purpose is to implement an identified provision of the laws of the European Community. These case laws and statutes therefore point to the notion that the people of UK still view its parliament as sovereign, irrespective of the judgments of thee ECJ, regarding the sovereignty of the European Union laws.
In conclusion European Union laws have to be supreme over the laws of its member states, for it to achieve in meeting its own objectives. For instance, one of the objectives of the European Union is to create a common market, for purposes of promoting and protecting its market. It is impossible to achieve this objective, if member states have different laws that seek to protect their markets. Furthermore, the European Union has an objective of creating a political federation, governed by one constitution. This would mean that the member states will have to limit their sovereignty. This is impossible to achieve with different laws that govern the operation and interpretation of laws within the European Union. However, this concept of Supremacy of European Union is not directly expressed in its treaties and directives. It is only implied through the judgments of the European Court of Justice. It is therefore a controversial issue within the member states of the European Union.

Two Half-Vietnamese Youtubers Demonstrate Difference in Those with Asian Mothers versus Asian Fathers – "I'm not racist, my wife is Asian!" What will happen when racist, anti-social, anti-diversity, conservative, anti-feminist, anti-black, anti-asian white men marry "traditional, family oriented," status-obsessed, racist asian tiger moms who hope their children look white for privilege – and produce half asian sons who look asian? what happens when half-asian sons grow up to look "too asian," and have a white dad and asian mom who are mocking asian men, while society is unapologetically racist against asian men? an honest appraisal of self-hatred and racism by the very worried son of a racist, black-hating, holocaust denier, Nazi-sympathizer and a racist, self-hating chinese woman.
No commentary – merely watch for yourself.
Both have one Vietnamese parent; one has a Vietnamese mother and an (absentee white father). One has a Vietnamese mother. Can you guess which one is which?


I am a Ph.D. statistician, and I have a long experience in teaching mathematics and statistics as a university professor (grad and undergrad level) as well as a research/statistical consultant. I strongly believe that I have the skills, experience, and training required to communicate mathematical and statistical results to very diverse individuals and audiences.
I am also very proud that my WyzAnt student for two consecutive years was accepted to MIT!
Because of my training and experience, I am specialized in teaching mathematics and statistics, so these are the only subjects I tutor. I want my students to get high quality services, related to my area of expertise. I am happy and proud that I have helped numerous students with a variety of courses ranging from AP Calculus and AP Statistics as well as graduate and undergraduate college level. Additionally, I can effectively help you with any type of statistical software as SPSS, SAS, R, and Stata.
Having a long experience in statistical consulting, I can provide high quality assistance with the research design of theses, statistical projects or with the statistical analysis and software implementation of other research or professional tasks.
Minimum 60 minute session for all lessons.
I understand that things happen, but to be able to accommodate my students, I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you do not cancel a lesson before that period, I will have to charge an one-hour cancellation fee.
Besides a long experience I have as a SAS programmer and my participation in numerous statistical projects using SAS and SAS Enterprise, I have recently passed the programming 1 and programming 2 courses (offered by SAS) so that I can more effectively help those people that are seeking SAS certification. i have also taught a University course related to experimental design with the use of SAS.
I have an extensive training in biostatistics, and in particular in topics related to worked in survival analysis, biomarkers evaluation, missing data and proportional hazards models to name a few. My experience is related to the numerous biostatistical projects that I have been involved, as a consultant, through the years and the numerous students and professionals that I have helped both with the software implementation and the analysis of the results.
I have taught logic as part of a quantitative reasoning undergraduate course and as part of a finite mathematics course. These courses include but are not limited to the discussion of statements, premises and conclusions, negation, conjection and disjunction, conditionals, necessary and sufficient conditions, contrapositive statements and equivalence. The combination of all these leads to the construction of truth tables for analyzing statements and determining their validity (tautology).
I have successfully helped numerous Praxis candidates with all of the Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus parts of the test. I can provide students with not only the analytical approach to the questions but also with the right strategies to ace the test. The most important such strategy is time management. To achieve the best results possible I train students to effectively use scientific/ graphing calculators such as the TI 83-84 series. By doing that the student can deliver excellent results in the minimum possible time.
Dr. R has the unique ability to make the complicated seem straightforward and understandable without making the student feel like an incompetent. Math/Stats can be intimidating for the 'math challenged' but it is key to being a complete social science student. My adult child was having a hard time with the stats, and despite studying and seeking help from the professor and TA, it was still too hard. Dr. R has made all the difference. Would highly recommend her to other students. Ability/Knowledge: A+; Time Flexible: A+; Responsiveness: A+; Ability to communicate with all levels of student: A+ If you are a Undergrad or Graduate student, No need to suffer through Stats. Pick Dr R.
I learned a lot step by step. She was great. She explained the topic very clearly. It was a very fruitful session. If I have more questions, I will definitely contact her again.
We reviewed my project and my goals. Elena then went over the process for data analysis using SAS and some new visual possibilities using R. Next we will review my data and run various test to validate my project goals.
Dr. Elena provided very prompt services. She is very professional and asked clarifying questions. Her flexibility and willingness to help me understand statistics and provide feedback data is outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Elena!
Elena helped me with my biostatistics homework in R and was able to clarify a lot! I highly recommend her!
Elena was able to break down the concepts I was struggling with in Statistics (Probability). I really appreciated her time! Very professional and engaging. Definitely recommend!!
Elena was helpful in reviewing my article critiques for my PhD research comp. I would email my paper to her and she would send back her comments usually within a week.
Organized and reliable. Put a lot of effort into preparation.
Elena taught me an introduction to the use of the computer program R for doing work in statistics. I liked the fact that Elena came prepared with a lesson plan.
An Exemplary Tutor in Statistics!!!
I first started my lessons with Elena during the first year of my doctoral program. She has tutored me in content related to my graduate statistics courses including advanced statistics, and multivariate statistics. Elena is able to simplify statistical concepts to even those that may not have the strongest math backgrounds. She is excellent in explaining how to run analysis in SPSS and interpreting them. Elena is dependable, thorough and very much concerned about her students mastering the material. I credit Elena a GREAT deal in regards to my success in statistics. I HIGHLY recommend her for any undergraduate or graduate student who may need additional assistance in statistics.

Alonso "Crashgate 2.0" getting downright weird as some suggest he lost his memory.
So the latest reports, which originate with Spain's El Pais and Germany's Bild, are that Fernando Alonso suffered amnesia after his testing accident.
"I'm Fernando Alonso, I race karts and I would like to drive in F1 one day"
According to Spain's El Pais that's how the McLaren driver answered emergency personnel who intervened after his testing crash in Barcelona. Alonso, the article continues, had lost the last 20 years of memories and was convinced it was 1995.
Germany's tabloid Bild instead reports Alonso started speaking Italian after that accident and was adamant he still drove for Ferrari. Given the performance of both Ferrari and McLaren there is a tinge of the comical to this assertion.
Of course concussions are not funny and it's right Alonso's doctors and F1 are taking all precautions necessary after Nando got his bell rung.
What is not right is trying to hide things. On the one hand there are the "nothing to see here, move along" journalists and on the other the wild conspiracy theorists. The truth is most likely somewhere in between.
Certainly very few are buying the "it was a gust of wind" explanation from McLaren. Auto Motor Sport reports Fernando entered the turn at 215km/h then, mid-corner, hit the brakes and downshifted three gears before turning into the inside wall. Maldonado, yes, you might not question it but Alonso? And there are still questions as to why it was necessary to sedate Alonso after the crash.
One thing is absolutely certain: the Nando and Ron show, season 2, is off to a complicated start.

That's all nonsense. I bet he's pregnant! :)
All kidding aside, I hope he recovers quickly.
Chesthair Cevert Thursday, March 05, 2015 8:56:00 PM
This accident could very well be a seminal moment in Alonso's career. This incident could have easily impaired his mental state, his dexterity, his reaction time etc. From karting up to today, all the successful behavior patterns that he learned from doing thousands of laps that made him a world class grand prix driver could have been affected. He might have lost that racers "edge" that gave him that extra tenth of quickness that made him arguably the most respected racer in the world. I wonder if McLaren right now are a little apprehensive as to whether their investment going forward is gonna be able to perform as anticipated. Luckily for Alonso, he just signed that big new McLaren deal.
My early prediction for 2015 is that Seb will have a much better year than expected, and that Lewis will have such an easy run this year that by Hungary, to keep things lively on his Instagram account he'll be posting pics of Rosco banging Cocoa back at the hotel. And hopefully Bottas has continued success in 2015.

I really hope he's okay. Head injuries can cause major issues including acute depression. Even though he was very successful and still an exceptional talent, I often wonder how Mika was effected after his ideas injury. Remember him out qualifying Ayrton in his first GP for McLaren? Perhaps he would have given Schumacher (how is he doing?) even more trouble without such a massive injury.
Sérgio Oliveira Friday, March 06, 2015 6:32:00 AM
Well, if he started speaking Italian and was "back in time" somehow, it explains his agitation and the need for sedation.
Still don't get how he got such "damage" and all the symptoms of concussion, but no brain swelling or bruising was shown in his exams. Hard to blame it on the impact.
Anyway, I think they are taking this "back to the future" thing a bit too far... ;)
JCL Friday, March 06, 2015 7:32:00 PM
I meant his "head injury". Autocorrect...
Andrew Rapp Saturday, March 07, 2015 12:30:00 AM
Speaking from the experience of two massive brain traumas, you don't always have to have swelling or bruising to have trauma. I think I heard he took a 30g hit laterally. I think he is doing the right thing. Dale Earnhardt Jr. sat out after a hard concussion amid a lot of criticism. The world needs to know that you only get one CPU in life and if you damage it too often, you can't reboot.
strngr1 Sunday, March 08, 2015 11:13:00 PM
Maybe he has a clause in his contract that if he does not participate in the first race for whatever reason, and the cars are lazy dogs at that race, he can sit out the season, jump ship, and find something better next season, and still collect a few million. Crashgate 2.0
Do hope he's OK though.
Steve Mnalove Friday, March 13, 2015 3:28:00 PM
Poor Nando, I think he would rather sit out all the races until they get the package working. He must be very embarrassed with his decision, and to face the media and have to admit he screwed up big time after saying " he could go to any team he wants" must be very daunting. Likewise, Ferrari looks poised to kick some mid field butt.....almost Maldonado esque luck....leaving Williams to go to Lotus
I am sure there is a certain element of caution and safety to ensure he does not have another blow so quickly afterwards, but he must be somewhat thankful for the excuse too.
I had really hoped he could have made the move to Red Bull, and blown away Ricciardo, just to display how easy Seb had it for his 4 years.....Webber's a nice guy, good team player, but just not fast enough to challenge Seb.

Q: GroovySql - retrieving list of values for named parameter to use with sql in operator I'm trying to figure out the correct syntax to use to pass a list of values to the 'in' operator using GroovySql. When I pass in a comma separated list of values only the first value gets applied while the other values are ignored.
My code looks like:
        final String query = '''\
            SELECT
                li_ch.event_id as event_id,
                sum(CASE li_ch.line_item_type WHEN 0 THEN 1 WHEN 900 THEN (CASE li_p.line_item_type WHEN 0 THEN -1 ELSE 0 END) ELSE 0 END) sold,
                sum(li_ch.amount) as gross
            FROM
                line_item li_ch LEFT JOIN line_item li_p on li_ch.parent_line_item_id = li_p.id,
                sale s
            WHERE
                s.id = li_ch.sale_id AND
                li_ch.event_id in (${Sql) AND
                s.sale_status_type in (:eventIds) AND
                li_ch.line_item_type in (0, 900)
            GROUP BY li_ch.event_id
        '''

    // Create new Groovy SQL instance with injected DataSource
    final Sql sql = new Sql(dataSource)

    def ids = eventList.collect { "'$it'" }.join(",")
    final List<GroovyRowResult> rows = sql.rows(query, eventIds: Sql.expand(ids))
    rows

A: There's a pull request to make this easier, but for now you have to join your own attributes together:
def values = "'${list.join('\',\'')}'"
// or less confusingly:
// def values = list.collect { "'$it'" }.join(",")
sql.rows( "select * from table where value in (${Sql.expand(values)})" )

How to Watch TV Series and Films on Telegram
On April 17, 2020 by Anil Sharma
TV Series and Films on Telegram: Telegram is one of the apps that has experienced exponential growth over the years: despite the fierce competition from WhatsApp, it has stood out for the numerous additional and special features that have made it famous and increasingly used (just think of bots, animated stickers, and secret chats).
But one of the features less known to the general public is the integrated player within the app, capable of playing any audio/video format even from URL links without having to download any content and without having to open one of the app players on our device.
In this guide, we will show you how to watch TV series and films on Telegram using the free and legal sources on the web, so that you can immediately check the correct functioning of the integrated player and thus search for other sources to view new content.
TV series and films on Telegram: a complete guide
In order to use the video player integrated into the Telegram app, we will have to make sure that we are using the latest version of the app, which we can download for free for Android devices and for iPhone/iPad.
How to add TV series on Telegram
To be able to watch TV series via telegram, we will take advantage of both the internal player (which we had mentioned in the introduction) and a special chat of the app called Saved messages; this chat is created as a personal chat that only we (from our various devices) can view and within which we can save images, photos and URL links of sites so that we can manage them later.
Using the chat Saved messages we can create our playlist with all the episodes of the favorite TV series without having to open a flood of links every time in the browser.
To add one or more episodes of the favorite TV series on Telegram we open the web browser on our devices, go to the website that has free and legally accessible content, choose a video and press up on the address bar, copy the link using the Copy function, let's go to Telegram and paste the link in the chat Saved messages, holding down on the text field and using the Paste item.
As soon as we confirm the addition of the link, the preview of the added video will immediately appear (in the next chapter we will show you how to use the player).
If the TV series has multiple episodes let's add them all in the chat Saved messages, so as to have a well-ordered chronological order.
In fact, we can also create our own "TV series", aggregating the contents we like by taking them from the web, from the other chats or groups that we frequent on Facebook or on Telegram itself.
How to watch TV series on Telegram
After creating our personal playlist inside the saved messages chat, we tap the Play symbol that will appear in the center of the first episode or episode that we want to watch.
We will see the internal Telegram player appear, able to view the streaming content without even having to open the original website! The player will occupy about half of the space on our player's screen and will also provide some very interesting options, such as the PIP mode (i.e. a floating window to move freely in other chats or in other apps) and the button to view the video on the screen internal.
The operation is very simple but at the same time effective: after pressing the Play button, the buffering will load (visible as a thin white bar on the bottom of the video) and, after a few seconds, the chosen content will be played.
Obviously we can move anywhere within the video, sliding with the finger on the lower bar (which in fact behaves like a time bar, so that we can send the video back and forth at will).

Nobody forbids you to search for content even among the groups and channels present on Telegram, but in many cases it is copyrighted material therefore shared on the platform in a completely illegal way.
The addition of the integrated player within Telegram chats is definitely interesting because it allows us to immediately open the video links that our friends share, we can open the video links and the links to the TV series contained within dedicated groups and channels for the purpose and, using the Chat Saved messages, we can also create our personal playlist with the best funny videos or with the videos we want to see at a later time, so as not to have to even fetch them from the history of the web browser or from one of the chats group.
Using this function we will have to pay close attention to the channels and warez groups (really numerous on Telegram): we run the risk of infecting our phone with Bitcoin miners or worse than seeing our compromised chats.

Where did you learn to weave?
I first learned to weave at a Saori freestyle weaving workshop with the wonderful Terri Bibby. The rest I learned from practice, experimentation and YouTube!
Where do you buy your looms?
I use a 20 x 20 inch loom from Funem Studios and a circular loom from the Unusual Pear.
In Victoria I shop at both Knotty by Nature and the Beehive Wool Shop. I love to explore yarn shops when I travel so I also pick up special goodies from all over. One of my favourite online shops to find gorgeous handspun unique yarn is Knit Collage.
I handweave every piece in my studio and it takes many hours! The larger works can take weeks at a time to complete, hang and prepare to ship. Items listed in the shop can be ready for shipping within 48 hours. With custom work, the lead time will vary.
Please contact me for information and details and I will make you the weave of your dreams!
How do I care for my weaving?
Your wall hanging is a fine quality handwoven product that will last many years. Do not hang in direct sunlight. As with any work of art, direct sunlight will fade the piece over time. Do not hang by open doors or windows. Try to keep your wall hanging in one location without a lot of transfer. Keep away from pets and small children.
Once hung in your desired spot on the wall, use your fingers to gently comb out tassels and put yarn back in place. Do NOT tug on the fibres or tassels.
Your artwork will generally not need any deep cleaning. Lightly dust weaving every so often if desired. Spot clean only if necessary, blot dry, do not rub or agitate the fibres. Do not wash or dry clean.

Q: tizen native button with transparent color possible? I want to set an image on a button and set its background color to be transparent.
We can show button with default color and set an icon on it, but when I set the colors alpha value to zero or less everything turns to be transparent. I need to show the image on the button at least.

So how do I set transparent background with code?

other solutions all with EDC editor or EDC code, that is not supported on new Tizen 5.5.
code:
Evas_Object *box = elm_box_add(ad->win);
evas_object_size_hint_weight_set(box, EVAS_HINT_EXPAND, EVAS_HINT_EXPAND);
elm_object_content_set(ad->conform,box);
evas_object_show(box);

ad->button = elm_button_add(ad->conform);
evas_object_size_hint_weight_set(ad->button,0.0,1.0);
evas_object_size_hint_align_set(ad->button,-1.0,1.0);
elm_object_text_set(ad->button,"");
evas_object_color_set(ad->button, 255, 100, 100, 250); //any transparency?
evas_object_show(ad->button);
elm_box_pack_end(box,ad->button);

Evas_Object *ic;
ic = elm_icon_add(ad->button);
elm_image_file_set(ic,ICON_DIR"/ok.png",NULL);
elm_object_part_content_set(ad->button,"icon",ic);
evas_object_show(ic);

A: There is currently no API to change only the button background color.
If you use the click event with elm_image, I think you can create what you want.

Q: jQuery Easy UI + treegrid + checkbox I am using "jQuery Easy UI" in my website. I need treegrid in a page with checkbox for each row (The same way as "jQuery Easy UI"-tree provedes).

More Speculation for Tomorrow: Beatles on iTunes [Updated]
Monday November 15, 2010 2:34 pm PST by Eric Slivka
Graphic from TechCrunch
The big news of the day has been Apple's iTunes-related announcement scheduled for tomorrow, and one of the rumors that has been gaining traction in the hours since the news broke is that Apple may finally have struck a deal to bring The Beatles to the iTunes Store.
For starters, the sources in the past that quashed any rumors of an impending Beatles launch are today very quiet, and strangely so. Next is the wording of the teaser on Apple's website. The first line is, "Tomorrow is just another day." As noted earlier, "Another Day" is a Paul McCartney song released on his solo record "Ram," but written during the Beatles' "Let it Be" sessions.
Also, for those into hunting for more clues, Apple's teaser page features four clocks, each with the arms in different positions, (denoting the time of the announcement in California, New York, London and Tokyo time zones). Pretty unnecessary unless you compare it to the cover of the Beatles' "Help!" album, featuring all four members side by side with their arms also in different positions.
The report from Billboard hints at other reasons may finally be the day that The Beatles come to iTunes, although it is unable to share all of its information.
The rumor of course leads some to question whether such an announcement would be worthy of a hype-filled front-page teaser on Apple.com, but there is no special media event accompanying tomorrow's announcement, and it is unclear if any other news besides The Beatles would be included if it is indeed in the works.
On one final note, MacRumors yesterday did receive an unconfirmed tip that The Beatles would be coming to the iTunes Store on Wednesday, November 17th. Such unconfirmed rumors are not uncommon (although things have been relatively quiet with regards to The Beatles since the lead-up to Apple's September 1st music-focused media event) and this one included no details we could use to follow-up or verify, but perhaps is worth noting in light of today's events.
Update: The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times are now confirming that Apple has in fact finally struck a deal with The Beatles and their rights owners and is preparing to announce that The Beatles' music will soon be available in the iTunes Store.

I usually don't answer my office phone after dinner but around 8:00 pm last night I got a call from a prospective camp parent whom I'd already spoken to several times earlier in the day. I knew it was her from the Caller ID.
This lady was extremely interested in our program. We already had several 5 or 10 minute conversations throughout the day yesterday as she kept calling back with more questions every few hours. Each time she called she was increasingly excited for her daughter to experience Aloha Beach Camp this summer. So even though it was already 8:00 pm, I decided to pick up the phone assuming by now she was ready to sign up for camp.
To my surprise (and I confess disappointment), she was calling to thank me for taking so much time to discuss our program, but after speaking with her husband decided it was more important to send their daughter to a "real" camp this summer, not a beach or surf camp. More specifically, she said her husband considers a beach camp less of a "real" camp compared to those with traditional programs.
I didn't push the issue. I simply offered to be here if they change their mind, explained I totally understand our program's not for everyone, and assured her I'd rather see their family go somewhere else other than Aloha Beach Camp without being 100% certain they made the right choice.
Now just one more thing.
Regarding her contention a beach camp isn't a "real" camp, I assure you the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of families who've experienced and loved Aloha Beach Camp over the years would completely reject that premise.
The fact is this: The joys, fun, friendships and memories kids get from the camp experience is the only thing that matters, not the location where camp takes place.

Q: Validating digitaly signed PDF Spire.Pdf C# So I am developing a web app that generates a PDF contract from a partial view, and then validates the digital signiture. I came accross an example  here . The problem is that an exception is thrown when validating the signiture and for the life of me I cant figure out why...
Here is the code :
public async Task<ActionResult> Upload(HttpPostedFileBase FileUpload)
    {
        ActionResult retVal = View();
        AspNetUser user = DbCtx.AspNetUsers.Find(User.Identity.GetUserId());

        bool signitureIsValid = false;
        string blobUrl = string.Empty;

        if (FileUpload != null && FileUpload.ContentLength > 0)
        {
            string fileName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + RemoveAllSpaces(FileUpload.FileName);
            string filePath = Path.Combine(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Content/pdfs"), fileName);

            FileUpload.SaveAs(filePath);

            List<PdfSignature> signatures = new List<PdfSignature>();
            using (var doc = new PdfDocument(filePath))
            {

                    count = 0;
                }
                for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)

                    blobPactUrl = await BlobUtil.BasicStorageBlockBlobOperationsAsync(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath));
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(blobPactUrl))

I have checked the signiture and it is valid and cerified... I know I'm missing something basic here... Please help me internet!

A: Just noticed that I posted this. . . Turns out that the problem was due to bug in the package itself. Upon asking the lovely people at E-Iceblue, the bug was recreated, solved and a new version of Spire.PDF was up on nuget within a week.
great job E-Iceblue, it worked fine :)

If the damage is only relatively minor, our experts may be able to fix your iPhone right there and then. Even with major issues, though, we still work fast, and get your iPhone repaired and back to top condition in next to no time at all.
We cover virtually every possible issue with iPhones, from screen repairs and fixing cracked glass, to complete battery and digitizer replacements. Our technicians have years of experience fixing issues of all shapes and sizes, no matter how large or small, and they realize how important it is for you to have a working iPhone. So, the next time your iPhone starts playing up, don't shell out for a whole new phone- come to us, and we'll put it right for you. Here you can read about all the specific repairs and services we offer to people in Almira, WA who have broken iPhones.
How exactly do you spot a broken LCD screen? Strange patterns or out of place lines on your screen are one of the common signs. If you see these issues on your iPhone, they may be signs that things are still getting worse. In addition, be wary if part of the touchscreen becomes unresponsive- again, this can eventually lead to the whole touchscreen breaking down, and leaving you with little more than an expensive paperweight instead of a fully-functioning iPhone.
Today's latest models of iPhones come packed with a whole host of features, but there's one area that they fall down on- durability. The iPhone screen is notoriously easy to break, just ask anyone who owned an iPhone for a few years. The worst part is that once you have a small crack, that small crack usually grows and grows until it develops into a large ugly break across the whole iPhone. Naturally, this makes it harder to actually see what's on your screen, and in some cases, it might even interfere with touchscreen functionality. Even worse, these ugly cracks ruin all the style and visual design that comes with having an iPhone.
If your iPhone screen is cracked, then you don't have to just put up with the problem. Our local technicians in Almira can fix your iPhone very efficiently. Our iPhone repair pros start by diligently extracting the broken glass screen, and then improve your protection by replacing it with a more durable brand new screen. Leave your worries behind and live freely with your clean and working iPhone. You'll be happy to know that you won't need to wait long to fix your iPhone, in many cases it will be fixed and ready for you the same day or within the hour.
With all this in mind, it becomes really obvious that you do not want your digitizer to break, but that is when our technicians can help. While Apple themselves offer a digitizer replacement service, this can cost over $200. You don't need to spend so much money to fix your iPhone, simply call us to get the best price on your iPhone repair in Almira, WA. Not only that, but we also promise a fast turnaround, so you can get back to using your iPhone as normal in next to no time at all. Our professional repair techs will make sure to implement any needed fixes in order to get your iPhone back into the best condition possible. Now, whenever your touch screen gets messed up, you know just who to call for a quick, effective, and affordable solution.
If that problem sounds familiar, then we can help. Water damage isn't the end of the world, even if your warranty may be gone. The damaged circuitry can be repaired, or if it's beyond repair, it can be replaced most of the time. Our pros will start by slowly opening up your iPhone to look for the source of the problem, in order to give you an accurate price for fixing the device. Usually, we can start the repair work immediately in order to get your iPhone fixed fast. Thanks to our group of iPhone repair experts, you can get your water damaged iPhone fixed fast, we can get started as soon as you call us.
While it's difficult for the average user to open up an iPhone, our repair technicians have plenty of experience when it comes to working on Apple's ever-popular cell phones. That's important because they can get at the old battery to repair or replace it without any trouble. This straightforward process will leave you feeling like you just turned on your iPhone brand new for the first time. Working with our techs and swapping or fixing the battery on your iPhone will significantly improve the iPhone's longevity, and will save you hundreds of dollars in the long term. Stop worrying about your battery percentage getting too low, let us fix your iPhone battery and get things back how they used to be.
One of the best reasons to have an iPhone is because of the amazing high resolution camera built into this device. It seems that with every model of iPhone, the camera just keeps getting better, enabling you to capture pictures with perfect clarity. Digital cameras are having a hard time competing with the high fidelity and convenience of an iPhone camera. Any time you notice something worth remembering, it's easy to pull out the iPhone and capture a quick high quality photo.
But just what do you do if your iPhone's camera becomes damaged? If you can't seem to take clear pictures, you might look closer and notice an awful scratch covering the lens of the camera that's causing this. When an iPhone gets scratched or knocked around the front camera is the most likely lens to get damaged. At the same time, dropped iPhones are more likely to cause the back camera to get cracked, scratched or damaged. Obviously nobody wants to put their selfies on hold or delay any upcoming special occasions, but a broken iPhone camera will get in your way until you get it properly repaired.
If you happen to have a broken iPhone camera, then don't delay, call our expert iPhone pros in Almira for a convenient solution. Our expert techs can diagnose the problem and implement the solution very quickly, often times faster than you would expect. The actual lens on your iPhone is usually still safe, instead the glass that covers the lens is the part that's damaged. Replacing that glass is quick and simple. Even if the damage is severe, our experts will still be able to help, and have your iPhone camera repaired and in perfect condition again.


Abstract: MultiBUGS (this https URL) is a new version of the general-purpose Bayesian modelling software BUGS that implements a generic algorithm for parallelising Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms to speed up posterior inference of Bayesian models. The algorithm parallelises evaluation of the product-form likelihoods formed when a parameter has many children in the directed acyclic graph (DAG) representation; and parallelises sampling of conditionally-independent sets of parameters. A heuristic algorithm is used to decide which approach to use for each parameter and to apportion computation across computational cores. This enables MultiBUGS to automatically parallelise the broad range of statistical models that can be fitted using BUGS-language software, making the dramatic speed-ups of modern multi-core computing accessible to applied statisticians, without requiring any experience of parallel programming. We demonstrate the use of MultiBUGS on simulated data designed to mimic a hierarchical e-health linked-data study of methadone prescriptions including 425,112 observations and 20,426 random effects. Posterior inference for the e-health model takes several hours in existing software, but MultiBUGS can perform inference in only 28 minutes using 48 computational cores.

OSU Today
Charitable Fund Drive benefits crucial local nonprofits
The annual Oregon State University Charitable Fund Drive has begun, and OSU employees now have the opportunity to select from more than 700 charities to financially support. The first Charitable Fund Drive was implemented in 1989, and 100 percent of the donation goes to the organizations employees select.
Many employees find the CFD's payroll contribution method easiest and most satisfying because a small amount taken out of each check adds up to a substantial gift over the course of a year (beginning in January 2020). The fund drive has an online pledging system that is secure, paperless and simple to use. The giving site has already been populated with employee names and OSU ID number. Donations can also be made via check or credit card.
The drive benefits the nonprofits in many ways. For one, they can process a single check from the Fund Drive, rather than numerous checks from individual contributors, which keeps administrative costs low. It also helps nonprofits to budget ahead, as they know early in the year what their revenue from fund drive pledges will be.
The wide variety of nonprofits to choose from means that OSU employees can focus on causes that are near and dear to their hearts. Those local organizations have a visible impact on the community. One of those 700 organizations is the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence in Corvallis.
College of Engineering Dean's office manager Janet Knudson has volunteered at CARDV since early 2006. Sometimes Knudson wonders if her sister Jill would still be alive today had she known about CARDV or a similar sanctuary. Jill, one of Knudson's three older sisters, was 46 when her husband killed her in September 2005.
"You never think something like this will happen to you or anyone you know," Knudson said. "Maybe if she'd asked for help or known that there was a safe place to go rather than staying in her house, events would have been different."
When 2006 rolled in, Knudson felt compelled to act, and called CARDV.
"I told the director at the time that I wanted to do something — that I didn't want this to happen to anyone else."

CARDV was established in 1981 when Corvallis Women Against Rape merged with the Linn-Benton Association for the Prevention of Domestic Violence. A headline from the organization's brochure powerfully sums up its ideals: Everyone deserves to be safe. CARDV's services include a 24-hour crisis hotline, two emergency safe houses with 16 beds and three cribs between them, emergency response, in-person advocacy, support groups, and education. With its professional staff of nearly 30 and more than 200 volunteers, CARDV serves about 7,000 people each year. Its most recent annual budget exceeded $1.25 million, and a quarter of that came through fundraising. That's where Knudson has really made her mark: Many thousands of dollars have been raised through the events she's planned and managed over the past 14 years.
For Knudson, CARDV has been a perfect fit — a place to focus her energy and work in the background to stop domestic violence from destroying families. Her first assignment was to recruit volunteers for the annual 5K fun run. The following year, she became the event's volunteer coordinator.
The to-do list was long: Get permits to close roads and re-route traffic; enlist volunteers to set up and take down signs, banners, and course markers; find more volunteers to guide and encourage more than 500 runners; recruit still more to haul in and hand out water at the halfway point; and much more. One year, Knudson recruited players from the Oregon State University women's basketball team. Another time, the men's soccer team stepped up, and they've returned every year since. Benny the Beaver has made some appearances, and the Corvallis police chief and other high-profile local figures have emceed the event.
"There are so many moving parts at these events, and almost everything is done by volunteers," Knudson said.
Knudson soon became co-chair of the fun run, and, after a few more years, moved on to manage the annual spaghetti dinner.
"I like to mix things up," she said. "I like variation and I believe events should change and evolve so they don't get stale and boring."
There's not much chance of that happening, according to Letetia Wilson, CARDV's executive director.
"Janet brings an enormous amount of energy and personal commitment to CARDV. She has an ability to develop lasting, meaningful connections with the community, which are invaluable," Wilson said. "We rely on volunteers to do so much, especially for our events. All of those generous people are a big reason why we've been so successful."
Before CARDV, Knudson had already logged a long track record of volunteering. She worked with June's Kids Kloset in Philomath to provide clothing, diapers, and other necessities to families in need; served countless meals to hungry people at Stone Soup in Corvallis; and devoted many hours to the children's ministry at her church. At CARDV, though, Knudson learned that she had a natural talent and affinity for planning and running big events.
"I really love that part of the work, and now I even do it for friends and family," she said. "I've probably catered a dozen weddings, baby showers, funerals, and church events."
She's also learned something much darker: The prevalence of sexual and domestic violence is far greater than most people realize.
"It's often hidden," Knudson said. "Many victims deny there's a problem or put a good face on things. Women may convince themselves that the situation will change. If someone has gotten to the point where they start thinking 'Oh, you know, I don't think this is abuse,' then something's wrong and they need to get help. Just knowing that there are people out there who care and who they can talk to is a huge deal, which is why it's so important to make everyone aware of CARDV and other places they can turn to."

Hip-Hop Mogul Irv Gotti Claims He Never Had an Affair With Ashanti
By Brittany Vincent
Remember Ashanti and her ridiculously catchy song "Rock Wit U (Aww Baby)?" It was a massive hit when it first popped off in the early 2000s – much like the singer's alleged fling with hip-hop mogul Irv Gotti. Ashanti has traditionally been pretty guarded about her romantic history over the years, and the hitmaker has never publicly commented on whether she was with Irv Gotti or not. Here's a brief look at what really happened between the two, according to Gotti.
Were Ashanti and Irv Gotti actually dating? A timeline of their alleged relationship.
Irv Gotti, the rap mogul who founded Murder Inc. Records, brought a fresh-faced Ashanti onto the team in the early 2000s. Not too long after that, she released her self-titled album in 2002. Rumors had swirled about a potential affair between the two at the time, though Ashanti has never publicly commented on the matter. However, the matter resurfaced in a recent episode of Growing Up Hip Hop: New York.
Gotti admitted that he had been prepping for a Murder, Inc. reunion show, except there was one issue: he wasn't exactly on good terms with everyone at the label. Ashanti happened to be included in that list of people. Speaking about Ashanti, his ex-wife Deb Lorenzo said they had been separated when Ashanti and Gotti apparently started dating.
Previously, Gotti admitted in 2017 that he hadn't begun dating until he and ex-wife Lorenzo had been separated. And before that, in an interview with The Breakfast Club, he insisted they never had a physical relationship at all.
"We didn't have sex," he said. "I never slept with Ashanti," he said. To this day, Ashanti herself has yet to say anything else about it.
Gotti also recently told Wendy of The Wendy Williams Show that Ashanti isn't the reason he became separated from his ex-wife, saying she's not a "homewrecker."
"No, Ashanti is not a homewrecker, guys. Ashanti had nothing to do with me and Deb. Deb caught me when I was directing 'I Cry' in Baltimore. Deb, being the vicious person she is, she came down unannounced, 'I'm Mrs. Lorenzo, give me the room key.' The door was latched, but she knows I'm in there. That's what broke me and Deb up," he explained.
He didn't elaborate on the reasons he could have given Deb to come see him unannounced, though – likely his background with cheating during other times.
To hear Gotti tell it, Ashanti "wasn't even in the picture" when he supposedly had the affair with her. Apparently he hasn't spoken to Ashanti recently, however, saying "we don't speak." Doing so wasn't out of the question, though.
"I'd talk to her," he said. "It's nothing to me."
Clearly this situation is a complex one, but without Ashanti's side of the story that's all we have to go on at present. Hopefully she'll go on the record and tell us all the rest of what we need to know.
