Q: 21 entities with the same structure. What I'm supposed to do when it's time to make a CRUD for these entities I Have 21 entities with the same structure.
Same Attribute too.

Every entity contains these Attributes :
AreaType
ID
IsActive
LangID
TXT
ModuleType
ID
IsActive
LangID
TXT
...

What I Need to perform a generic Crud. I already know that I need to create a generic repository. My problem is to perform a kind of generic ViewModel.
How can I create a generic View for the Create Form.
I Dont know what I need to pass in the Inherits of the view to be Generic.
 ... Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<...Dont know>"

Any Idea ?

A: A common approach this problem is to use ViewModels.  This is where you create specific classes to be used as the models in your strongly typed views.  These classes would not be the ones created by EF.  The ViewModel classes can have a common base that encapulate your common fields. In your data access layer you would need to move data between your ViewModel classes and your EF classes.  Things like AutoMapper (from CodePlex) work really well to reduce, if not eliminate, all of the the tedious "left-hand right-hand" coding.

A: Not too familiar with MVC, but (assuming it fits in with your hierarchy), I think you could create an abstract class which contains the properties you need, e.g.
public abstract class ViewableObject {
    public abstract int ID {get; set;}
    public abstract bool IsActive {get; set;}
    // etc
}

Then implement that with your normal classes (AreaType and so on), e.g:
public class AreaType: ViewableObject{
    public override int ID { get; set; }
    public override bool IsActive{ get; set; }
}

and make the view use the abstract class.
... Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<ViewableObject>"

A: One idea is to simply change your underlying tables.  Combine AreaType and ModuleType into a single "WhateverType" table that contains a field identifying exactly what type it is.  Then when you codegen your classes you'll have exactly one class to deal with.
However, there are other concerns and you should only do this if it makes sense in your application.

MSt in Philosophical Theology
The Master of Studies (MSt) in Philosophical Theology offers graduates in either philosophy or theology the opportunity to undertake advanced study in a field bridging the two disciplines.
With a tutor, you will study two areas of philosophical theology chosen from the philosophy of religion, the history of philosophical theology, or a more specialised area of theology. For each area, depending on the subject and supervisor, you will have six or eight tutorials of 60 to 90 minutes in duration. For each tutorial, you will write an essay of approximately 3,000 to 5,000 words. Tutorials consist of close scrutiny and discussion of the essay and the issues it raises. In addition to your tutorial work, you will also write a dissertation of 15,000 words, under the direction of a supervisor. The Faculty of Theology and Religion has a lively graduate community of students, including reading and work-in-progress groups.
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Faculty of Theology and Religion and the Faculty of Philosophy and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Faculty of Theology and Religion and the Faculty of Philosophy.
In addition to informal feedback on tutorial essays and drafts of the dissertation, at the end of the year, students are assessed via a 15,000-word dissertation and two unseen three-hour written exams.
Students who leave the University of Oxford with graduate degrees in theology enter a variety of careers all around the world. Over half of those who gain an MSt or MPhil proceed to further, usually doctoral, study. Most of the others secure employment as, for example, school teachers, civil servants or parliamentary research assistants or go on to work with non-governmental organisations or in the media and journalism.

How AIOps Platforms Are Transforming the IT Industry
When trying to determine how AIOps platforms are transforming the IT industry, start by looking at the evolution of IT infrastructure over the past decade. The digital transformation of the modern business has been underway for a while now. More and more services and applications are delivered online and reliance on the cloud continues to grow.
In order to keep up, the underlying infrastructure has had to adapt by upgrading legacy systems – even as next-generation technologies are deployed in parallel. The dependence on third-party tools such as cloud computing services is here to stay and is ever increasing.
Further, the prevalence of software-defined structures has brought about orchestration and provisioning services to accommodate the constantly morphing infrastructure.
As a result, IT operations teams have been thrust into a position where they are required to design, build and maintain dynamic, global scale infrastructures in hybrid ecosystems. Traditional IT operations management (ITOM) approaches simply can't keep pace. Here are some of the major challenges that have surfaced:
Although the infrastructure is dynamic, it still needs to be managed – making service assurance a moving target
The multitude of monitoring and management tools often have overlapping functionality
A preponderance of data has now proliferated the ecosystem, making monitoring difficult
The larger the infrastructures get, the more IT domains that need to be managed are siloed
Enter AIOps Platforms
It is in addressing these challenges that artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) has the potential to revolutionize the IT industry. The timing is right. Originally known as algorithmic intelligence for IT operations, AIOps capabilities are transforming the manner in which operations are conducted.
To further understand how this transformation will unfold, let's examine some key capabilities of AIOps:
Big data:
AIOps solutions offer the ability to manage and respond to incidents in large volumes of disparate data by automatically consolidating, organizing, filtering and enriching data points to add value.
Machine learning:
Enables an IT ops system to automatically learn and improve from experience without explicit programming.
Encompassing data science, statistical and mathematical analysis, correlation, and modeling, today's advanced analytics are able to extract meaningful insights from large volumes of data.
Automations:
This is the ability of AIOps platforms to act on insights in order to investigate and remediate issues – and to execute either predetermined or decision-driven workflow sequences.
These capabilities allow AIOps to perform two primary functions:
Derive insights
Act upon them
Let's take a deeper look at these functions.
Deriving Meaningful Insights With AIOps Products
The typical global IT infrastructure that supports the delivery of services is extremely chatty when it comes to generating information. The challenge is how to glean useful intelligence from this tidal wave of data.
AIOps products excel in aggregating and consolidating data. First, it provides a common repository and access to it, via a data lake or a data pipeline. Next, they consolidate data from across monitoring and management systems.
While that in itself does not sound remarkable, it's the manner in which they do it that is. AIOps products are able to leverage metadata and time-based information in their decision-making, and also have the intelligence to discriminate in order to reduce duplication.
This "data enrichment" in the ingestion phase makes it possible to then conduct AI-driven analysis necessary to generate cross-contextual insights:
Historical data, such as logs and events, offer a retroactive view and are augmented by applying metadata and tags to provide context for search indexing.
Real-time data, such as performance and telemetry information, are tagged to generate time-series by overlaying data points with time stamps.
Adding suitable labels to provide key-value pairs brings further value when this information is used later.
In addition to simply accepting what existing systems provide, AIOps products also have the ability to reach out and identify "data of interest." This makes it possible to execute workflows to conduct the kind of forensic analysis and troubleshooting to determine causality – and to do it in a fast and automated manner.
By normalizing data, enriching it and making it universally accessible, AIOps products essentially democratize the data and make newer forms of analysis possible. They drive collaboration across teams and yield insights that, when properly implemented, bring about significant improvements in service assurance.
Acting Upon Insights
We can measure the extent to which AIOps platforms improve the infrastructure's ability to heal. They are simply faster than traditional approaches when it comes to determining the root cause of issues when they occur. They also have the ability to provide troubleshooting and remediation services via workflows and automations. They excel at cutting through the maze of incoming events from multiple sources to rapidly identify patterns and focus on areas of interest.
The real promise of AIOps capabilities, however, lies in its predictive qualities. For the first time, it has become possible to realize a proactive and predictive approach to ITOM – to get ahead of issues before they occur.
By combining performance and application metrics with real-time monitoring, it is possible to apply techniques such as dynamic thresholds and baselines to detect abnormalities and see problems forming before they occur. In addition to providing alerts and notifications as service degradation begins to occur, these AIOps capabilities can be extended to alert the operations team of impending problems. This ability to know ahead of time allows actions to prevent an outage from occurring in the first place. When combined with automations, provisioning systems can kick in to allocate additional resources – for example, to stave off the impending impact to a business service that is supported by the affected infrastructure.
Building Proactive Operations
While this is just one of several use cases, it serves to demonstrate the truly proactive operations characteristics that AIOps can deliver to the IT industry.
Some AIOps platforms can also build a top-to-bottom view of the infrastructure and track from end-to-end the process flows that deliver a business service across it. This holistic view makes it possible to actually understand the business impact of an issue in the underlying architecture.
Capabilities such as this make for a customer-oriented approach to service assurance that focuses on the business impact rather than the technical issues underlying an outage.
In short, AIOps enables a data-driven, analytical approach to provide insights and actionable intelligence for IT operations monitoring tools. And this is what is transforming the IT industry.

Tally Shaito tried other marketing companies, but found that the leads he was paying for were also sent to his competitors. Now, he books 95% of potential customers that call him through Yodle, seeing a 33% increase in sales. He even had to add another 24-foot trailer and truck to accommodate the increase in business!
My name is Tally Shaito. I'm the president of Oasis Moving. Oasis Moving is just a small family-owned company. We have about three people that work in the office and we have about seven drivers at this time that work outside on the field. Opening the business was easy. The big challenge was to generate customers, to generate leads, to generate business. I've tried my own marketing, home to home, home to businesses, phone marketing and I knew there was something missing.
The reason I decided to sign up with Yodle is simple. They showed me on the internet how step-by-step we could increase Oasis Moving. Since we got all these referrals that are coming from Yodle, all these phone calls coming in, all these leads coming in, we're at 95% booking. We saw a necessity that we need to add more to our fleet. We have increased our business by 30% from the leads and the phone calls, at least 30%.
Customer service at Yodle is fantastic. Everybody has a seasonal business and our season is summer time. Winter time comes, not a lot of people move, so we wanted to do something - maybe there's some customers in a different area we're not reaching. The lady that handles our account she said, "I would be more than happy to work with you. Just let me know when you're ready. We could sit down on the phone. We could walk out online and see what we can do to keep your employees busy in the winter time."
We are still using Yodle. We will continue to use Yodle. If anybody is hesitant to try or to call or to get in touch with Yodle, I would say don't wait. You're missing a lot of opportunities there. It's awesome. It's fantastic. Thank you, Yodle.

Man jailed over crash that killed his girlfriend has "unduly severe" sentence cut
James O'Donovan pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Rosana Potts and another woman.

A MAN CRITICISED for seeking to attribute "blame" on his girlfriend for a crash which killed her and another woman has had his seven-year prison sentence cut on appeal.
James O'Donovan (30), of Athy, Co Kildare, had pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing the deaths of Rosanna Potts (22), his girlfriend and passenger, as well as Teresa Kiely (49), who was travelling with her daughter in another car, at Youngstown, Athy, on 27 December 2012.
O'Donovan was found guilty by a jury at Naas Circuit Criminal Court and was sentenced to seven years imprisonment by Judge Leonie Reynolds on 2 March 2015.
O'Donovan successfully appealed his sentence yesterday with the Court of Appeal deeming it "unduly severe" and finding that the Circuit Court erred in treating his defence as an aggravating factor.
The Court of Appeal heard that both vehicles were in perfect mechanical order and there was no evidence as to O'Donovan's manner of driving.
Giving judgment yesterday, Mr Justice George Birmingham said O'Donovan had been driving a Mitsubishi Pajero which went onto the wrong side of the road and crashed into an oncoming Toyota Prius causing the death of the driver, Teresa Kiely, and injuries to her daughter.
In his first exchange with gardaí at the scene, O'Donovan said that he and his girlfriend were arguing at the time of the collision and that she hit him a couple of times, that she pulled his hood and the next thing he remembered was regaining consciousness.
A significant feature of the trial was evidence from two experts – a garda forensic road collision investigator and a consultant forensic engineer. Their conclusions diverged.
This disagreement contributed to a difference in opinion as to where control of the Pajero was lost.
Aggravating factors
The Circuit Court judge listed the aggravating factors including "the fact that the nature of the defence was such that the accused sought to attribute sole blame for the accident on the deceased, Ms Potts, which this court finds utterly reprehensible".
Counsel for O'Donovan, Damien Colgan SC, submitted that there was an inappropriate emphasis placed on the nature of his defence and that the sentence was out of line with sentences in comparable cases.
The Court of Appeal could not agree that O'Donovan's defence, which involved putting blame on Rosanna Potts, was an aggravating factor and one to be regarded as reprehensible.
Mr Justice Birmingham said it was noteworthy that in the first exchange O'Donovan had with a garda at the scene, he referred to the fact that prior to the accident, he and his girlfriend were quarrelling.
He had to be free to raise that circumstance as part of his defence, the judge said and it was an "error in principle" to regard it as an aggravating factor.
Mr Justice Birmingham said O'Donovan's junior counsel, Libby Charlton BL, had "helpfully" assembled comparator cases and "certainly by reference to the cases assembled" it appeared that seven years was a "particularly and indeed unusually severe one".
Prosecuting counsel also accepted it was unusually severe compared to those listed in response to a question from the court.
"Unduly severe"
He said the judge erred in imposing a seven year sentence as that was "unduly severe".
Mr Justice Birmingham said O'Donovan was a carpenter, the father of a seven-year-old girl from a previous relationship whom he supports and was the main carer for his mother.
He had nine previous convictions including one for dangerous driving that occurred some two months before this accident. He had driven through a stop sign at a junction which lead to the hospitalisation of the other driver who "fortunately made a good recovery", the judge said.
Resentencing O'Donovan, Mr Justice Birmingham said this was a "very serious offence involving two fatalities which have left two families devastated".
There was a highly relevant previous convictions among others and as such "unlike in some dangerous driving cases" O'Donovan could not say he was a person of previous impeccable character.
Mr Justice Birmingham, who sat with Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan and Mr Justice Alan Mahon, imposed a five-year sentence with the final year suspended in order to incentivise rehabilitation.
His 30-year driving disqualification was reduced to 12 years because the original term might actually serve to make rehabilitation more difficult and prevent him from reintegrating into employment, the court found.
O'Donovan was required to enter into a good behaviour bond and he undertook to be so bound.

The issues of creation care and climate change can feel overwhelming. Mounting evidence of over-exerted fisheries; ever-depleting soil quality due to overzealous industrial agriculture; new reports detailing the ever-increasing urgency of climate action, coupled with even more reports about political ambivalence and public doubt -- all of these together can leave creation care advocates feeling hopeless.
So we lean on the promises of our creator God, who is restoring his creation, who invites us to participate, and who sustains us.
What might God be calling you to do? Are you passionate about environmental justice and fighting pollution in low-income communities? Are you interested in raising awareness about the global climate crisis and advocating for action? Excited about your local community's air, soil, and water quality? Motivated to help your church integrate a concern for creation into its life of worship? Check out some of our latest campaigns below to get involved.
Have you ever asked, "What could I or my congregation possibly do about climate change?" If so, you're not alone, and over the past year, CRC congregations across the U.S. and Canada have been coming together to find an answer in the Climate Witness Project.
The Climate Witness Project is a campaign designed to walk with congregations as they learn about the realities of climate change, as they seek to be better stewards of the resources they have been given, and as they find their voice to speak to their public officials about common sense climate policy that will benefit the earth, people around the world who are poor and vulnerable, and future generations.
So far, over 200 CRC members from 35 congregations in the U.S. and Canada have come together to learn, act, and advocate for a safer and more just world. Visit the Climate Witness Project's webpages at crcna.org/cwp to learn more about the project, explore resources, donate, and more!

Dear Mr Vader, your energy bill's arrived...and it's really quite something. In fact, you might want to take a deep (hoarse) breath about now.
See our graphic here for the figures at a glance. Or, for further details, see our in-depth workings below.
Thanks to StarDestroyer.net, we know that the DS1 must have a power output of 10³³W, which is 72 million times the power output of the earth and three million times the power output of the sun.
Fuelling evil people is pretty costly too, it turns out. To work out the cost of the energy needed to feed the staff on board, we used three example meals of porridge, bread, and casserole. We divided them into portions and then worked out how many times the required appliance would be used. These figures could then be applied to our average cost per use e.g. 11p per hob use, 23p per oven use, 2p per kettle use.

IDC Says the U.S. Color Inkjet Market Grew 21% over 4Q98 in 4Q99
FRAMINGHAM, MA – MARCH 14, 2000 — Following on the heels of a healthy third quarter, most inkjet printer vendors had a productive quarter in 4Q99. Inkjets ended the year at a record high 19.3 million units, according to IDC. The U.S. color inkjet market did very well, growing 21% over 4Q98 in 4Q99.
On the consumer side, Lexmark and Compaq were the big winners in terms of unit growth, racking up 78% and 117% year-over-year increases, respectively. "In 1999, U.S. color inkjet shipments from Lexmark's OEM, Compaq, were four times that of Hewlett-Packard's Apollo inkjet printers," said Weili Su, analyst for IDC's U.S. Quarterly Printer Tracker.
Monochrome laser printers did not enjoy the same success as inkjets during 4Q99. Year-over-year shipments grew only 4% due to Y2K-related corporate lockdowns on IT spending. In all, 4Q99 unit shipments accounted for only 29% of full-year 1999 monochrome laser shipments.
Hewlett-Packard remained the leading vendor in the monochrome laser printer space, shipping close to 71% of the market's unit volume. Despite the rumored difficult transition to its new Optra T family of monochrome laser printers, Lexmark maintained its second-place ranking in this market with nearly 9% unit share.
Desktop color laser sales in 4Q99 somewhat made up for the mediocre performance in the black and white world. Unit shipments increased 35% from 4Q98. "Targeted at office workgroup printing, desktop color lasers are showing increasing acceptance in the corporate space," Su said.
Once again, Hewlett-Packard came in very strong in the desktop color laser segment in 4Q99. Its two flagship color laser products, the Color LaserJet 4500 and 8500, accounted for nearly 55% of the market. HP's performance in this segment helps to further solidify its leadership position in the color market.
Tektronix rebounded from the sales anomaly in 3Q99 and had 18% unit share at the end of 4Q99. Lexmark's aging color products were able to capture 5.5% of the market in 4Q99. IDC expects Lexmark to refresh its color laser offerings in the near future, which will help take this colorful battle to the next level. QMS finished fourth in 4Q99 with 4.7% unit share. Its Magicolor 2 Desklaser, at an $859 street price, moved a significant volume in both 3Q99 and 4Q99.
Trends to Watch
As hardware margins continue to decline, the Dells and Gateways of the world scramble to look for new ways to enhance profitability. These PC manufacturers have taken a closer look at the profitability of other hardware manufacturers such as HP and Lexmark to see how they are able to survive the fierce price cuts and sustain long-term profitability in the hardware industry. And, they are seeing the lucrative consumables business. Given the successful precedent of the Lexmark-Compaq agreement and the potential of the recent HP-Ford announcement to provide PCs, printers, and Web access to Ford's worldwide workforce, IDC expects other major PC manufacturers to soon jump on the bandwagon, and we will likely see more OEM ventures (both inkjet and laser) as well as HP-Ford-like deals in the near term.
The findings in this press release come from IDC's United States Quarterly Printer Tracker. For more information on IDC's United States Quarterly Printer Tracker research program, please contact Weili Su at (508) 935-4460 or wsu@idc.com.

Subject: Ithaka S+R Report on Big Data Infrastructure
Date: Sun, 05 Dec 2021 14:00:00 -0500
To: <CNI-ANNOUNCE>
As part of its work in understanding research support services, our colleagues at Ithaka S+R have released a major report titled "Big Data Infrastructure at the Crossroads" a few days ago. See
https://sr.ithaka.org/publications/big-data-infrastructure-at-the-crossroads/
From the Executive Summary:
Ithaka S+R's Research Support Services program explores current trends and support needs in academic research. Our most recent project in this program, "Supporting Big Data Research," focused specifically on the rapidly emerging use of big data in research across disciplines and fields. As part of our study, we partnered with librarians from more than 20 colleges and universities, who then conducted over 200 interviews with faculty. These interviews provided insights into the research methodologies and support needs of researchers working across a wide range of disciplines.
This report provides a detailed account of how big data research is pursued in academic contexts, focusing on identifying typical methodologies, workflows, outputs, and challenges big data researchers face. Full details and actionable recommendations for stakeholders are offered in the body of the report, which offers guidance to universities, funders, and others interested in improving institutional capacities and fostering intellectual climates to better support big data research.

Q: how can i using oops in php show csv file i want to show the data from the database and csv file. I*m using oops in the php where i show data from both the database and csv but in the csv function there is following error:

syntax error, unexpected '$f' (T_VARIABLE), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in D:\xampp\htdocs\factory\4.php on line 71

Code:

<?php
interface IDatabase {
    function connect();
 function readCSV();
}

class Db implements IDatabase
{
    private $connection;
    private static $instance;

    private function __construct()
    {
        $host = "localhost";
        $user = "root";
        $pass = "";
        $name = "cart";

        $this->connection = new mysqli($host, $user, $pass, $name);

   if(mysqli_connect_error()) {
   trigger_error("Failed to conencto to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(),
     E_USER_ERROR);
  }

   }

    public  function connect()
    {
        if (self::$instance == null) {
            self::$instance = new Db();
        }

        return self::$instance;
    }

    public function query($sql)
    {
        $result = $this->connection->query($sql);
        $records = array();
        while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            $records[] = $row;
        }
        return $records;
    }
}

$db1 = Db::connect();

$query = $db1->query("SELECT * FROM user_info");
foreach($query as $row=>$val)
{ echo '
';
                echo ''.$val['id'].'	';
                echo ''.$val['username'].'	';
                echo ''.$val['email'].'	';
    echo ''.$val['password'].'	';
    echo '
';
}

class csv implements IDatabase{
public function readCSV($f){fclose($f);}

$f = fopen("http://localhost/csv/cr.csv", "r");
while (($line = fgetcsv($f)) !== false) {
        echo "
";
  $data = count($line);
        foreach ($line as $cell) {
                echo "" . htmlspecialchars($cell) . "	";
        }
        echo "
\n";
}

?>

A: Like it's saying, there is a syntax error. In a class you cant assign a member variabel by calling a function. Also, you cant begin a while-statement directly in a class, that's a method's job.
Here is something more like what you need
class Csv {
     private $_file;

     public function __construct($path) {
          $this->_file = fopen($path, "r");
     }

     public function closeCsv()
     {
           fclose($this->_file);
     }

     public function readCsv() {
        // I strongly recommend not echoing out here. This should just return the content
        return fgetcsv($this->_file)
     }
}

And you'll then use it like
<?php
     $csv = new Csv("/path/to/file.csv");
     while (($line = $csv->readCsv()) !== false) {
         //Do what you wanna do
     }

     //When done, close it
     $csv->closeCsv()

The code isnt tested, but I'll think you get the point. If not, checkout more about OOP, for example in here http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/object-oriented-php-for-beginners--net-12762

Q: Formal definition on $\int^e_1 \frac{1}{x} \, dx$ Question. Find the integral $$\int^e_1 \frac{1}{x} \, dx$$ using the formal definition
Attempt. So considering that the formal definition is $$\int^b_a f(x) \, dx=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum^n_{i=1}f(x_i) \, \Delta x$$ with $\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$ and $x_i=a+i \, \Delta x$. Applied to my problem I did this $\Delta x=\frac{e-1}{n}$ and $x_i=1+i\frac{e-1}{n}$ so using the formula we get $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum^n_{i=1}\frac{e-1}{n(1+i\frac{e-1}{n})}$$ simplifying and bringing out constants we end up with $$(e-1) \lim_{n\to\infty} \sum^n_{i=1} \frac{1}{n+i(e-1)}$$ but I'm stuck here since I don't know how to continue from here.

Dave Barry, IWA Youth Worker, fills us in on what young people in Bray Youth Cafe got up to this April.
Earlier this month young people from IWA's Bray Youth Cafe took part in a 'Bowl & Pizza' night. Looking to get out of their usual space for the night, the group decided that they would like to go bowling at Bray Bowl.
It was an action-packed night with strikes, spares, and even a 'Turkey' or two (Wicklow is the garden of Ireland after all). Sean and Megan (pictued above) were just a few of the gang who had a great time. Daniel (pictured in back to left) tried ever so valiantly to throw his ball into the other lanes but gravity took over and he even managed to knock down a pin or two!
Mid game refreshments arrived in the form a of a yummy pizza from the local takeaway, all eaten in possibly world record time...if you snoozed, you losed!! (so to speak).
It was a nice change-up for the evening and allowed the group to socalise in a different setting, with some good craic and tasty food added to the mix.
Bray Youth Cafe is a safe accessible space for young people with (and without) physical disabilities to hang out, meet new friends, and get involved in various youth activities. Young people, aged 13-17, get to decide for themselves what activities will take place each youth cafe night with support from Dave and staff and volunteers from Hi Rez Youth Centre.
If you want to get involved then give Dave a call on 087 050 6946 or e-mail david.barry@iwa.ie.


With a proven record of performance and durability, the CF200, is the drysuit choice of technical and professional divers around the world.
As pioneers in exposure protection, DUI discovered early advantages of crushing neoprene. Although many others claim the benefits of "compression", DUI is the only manufacturer which has truly perfected the art of neoprene refinement.
The lack of bubbles in our crushed neoprene suits, as well as the abrasion and puncture resistance of the material makes it the most durable substance used in the construction of drysuits today. Dive for dive, the craftsmanship and innovation utilized in each and every CF200 make this the least expensive suit per dive to own.


By treating living cells like tiny absorbent sponges, researchers have developed a potentially new way to introduce molecules and therapeutic genes into human cells.
With global meat consumption expected to climb 73 percent over current levels by 2050 and the appetite for seafood booming, Cornell graduate business students are looking further down the food chain to help meet the demand.
In a paper published by PLOS ONE, researchers concluded that a national strategy must be implemented in order to compensate for environmental damage caused by development projects in Africa.

Q: Batching when using ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute I am busy writing an migration that will allow us to move our yamler from Syck to Psych and finally upgrade our project to ruby 2. This migration is going to be seriously resource intensive though so I am going to need to use chunking.
I wrote the following method to confirm that the result of the migration I plan to use produces the expected result and can be done without down time. To avoid Active record performing the serialization automatically I needed to use ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute
My method that describes the transformation is as follows
 def show_summary(table, column_name)
  a = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute <<-SQL
   SELECT id, #{column_name} FROM #{table}
  SQL
  all_rows = a.to_a; ""
  problem_rows = all_rows.select do |row|
    original_string = Syck.dump(Syck.load(row[1]))
    orginal_object = Syck.load(original_string)

    new_string = Psych.dump(orginal_object)
    new_object = Syck.load(new_string)

    Syck.dump(new_object) != original_string rescue true
  end

problem_rows.map do |row|
  old_string = Syck.dump(Syck.load(row[1]))
  new_string = Psych.dump(Syck.load(old_string)) rescue "Parse failure"
  roundtrip_string = begin
    Syck.dump(Syck.load(new_string))
  rescue => e
    e.message
  end

  new_row = {}
  new_row[:id] = row[0]
  new_row[:original_encoding] = old_string
  new_row[:new_encoding] = roundtrip_string
  new_row
  end
end

How can you use batching when making use of  ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute ?
For completeness my update function is as follows
  # Migrate the given serialized YAML column from Syck to Psych
  # (if any).
  def migrate_to_psych(table, column)
    table_name = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.quote_table_name(table)

    column_name = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.quote_column_name(column)

    fetch_data(table_name, column_name).each do |row|
      transformed = ::Psych.dump(convert(Syck.load(row[column])))

      ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute <<-SQL
         UPDATE #{table_name}
         SET #{column_name} = #{ActiveRecord::Base.connection.quote(transformed)}
         WHERE id = #{row['id']};
      SQL
    end
  end

  def fetch_data(table_name, column_name)
    ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all <<-SQL
       SELECT id, #{column_name}
       FROM #{table_name}
       WHERE #{column_name} LIKE '---%'
    SQL
  end

Which I got from http://fossies.org/linux/openproject/db/migrate/migration_utils/legacy_yamler.rb

A: You can easily build something with SQL's LIMIT and OFFSET clauses:
def fetch_data(table_name, column_name)
  batch_size, offset = 1000, 0
  begin
    batch = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all <<-SQL
      SELECT id, #{column_name}
      FROM #{table_name}
      WHERE #{column_name} LIKE '---%'
      LIMIT #{batch_size}
      OFFSET #{offset}
    SQL
    batch.each do |row|
      yield row
    end
    offset += batch_size
  end until batch.empty?
end

which you can use almost exactly the same as before, just without the .each:
fetch_data(table_name, column_name) do |row| ... end

HTH!

Europe, Travel, United Kingdom, Lists
There's no place like London! It is one of the world's most visited cities and also one of my favourite places in Europe. It is marvellously cultured and when two of my friends from San Francisco told me they were going to London, I couldn't say no (I might have played a more crucial part in the decision about where to meet). Thus, I got to spend a couple of days in this amazing city and would now like to share my top 10 things to do in London (as there are so many!).
The Tower Bridge is one of my favorite sights in London. According to infamous architects it was built by a British architect for his two adopted sons from Italy - Boris and Noris. Each tower represents a son, Noris being the one on the right (South, and you always approach the bridge from the West). Doesn't sound convincing? Okay. It was actually built in 1894 by Horace Jones as was a much needed crossing point at that time. With some luck you might see the bridge lifting. Otherwise, the view from the top (as well as down through the new glass floor) is very exciting, too!
The museum was founded in 1753, when it started as a "cabinet of curiosities". If you think of Ripley's now, be warned. The museum is one of the most visited attractions in Britain and is an exhaustive stampede through several thousand years of human civilisation (and when I say exhausting, I mean it. Better wear comfortable shoes. The museum is stunning but it's not that fun with three blisters just because you insisted on wearing your new shoes). As the entrance is free, you should definitely pay it a visit. Also check out the amazing podcast A History of the World in 100 Objects, which retraces several million years of history through 100 objects from this very museum.
Houses of Parliament & Big Ben
That is where you will get one of the most iconic shots of the city. Big Ben's original name is Elizabeth Tower and marks the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, while Ben is actually the bell hanging inside (named after Benjamin Hall for you history buffs). But there's also Victoria Tower and of course the Palace of Westminster, which is home to the House of Commons and the House of Lords. If you actually want to enter the Houses of Parliament though, be prepared for some serious airport-like security.
National Gallery & Trafalgar Square
The National Gallery displays over 2000 European paintings from Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh and Renoir among others, which makes it one of the world's richest art collections. The building itself with its marvellous floor mosaics and tapestries is very impressive, too, though. Entrance is free, so definitely check it out and stop at my favorite paining: Sunflowers by Van Gogh. Just outside is Trafalgar Square, which contains two beautiful fountains. Trafalgar Square is basically where it's at: people gather for Christmas celebrations, political protests and many other things.
Borough Market is the place for food lovers! You won't only find the usual array of fruit and vegetables, but also cheesemongers, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries, distilleries and a most amazing street food market. Even if you are not planning on buying or eating anything, the market is still worth a visit. Food window-shopping was never so exciting! Plus, there are free samples! The market is open from Wednesday to Saturday but to avoid the worst of the crowds, you should avoid lunch times on Friday and Saturday.
Located on the 35th floor of the "Walkie Talkie" office building you can find one of the best (and greenest) views in London. The best news - it's free! Inside, you can get a spectacular view of London as well as some great cocktail and dining options (not free, duh). You still need to reserve a ticket to get up, so book in advance and definitely also enjoy a nice sunset up top.
South Bank & Tate Modern
Can you believe that the London Eye came only up in 2000? Ever since the South Bank has become a magnet for visitors and granted - it can be very touristy with £8 hot dogs and arcades. But the South Bank also offers stunning views along the riverside with sights such as the London Eye but also the London Dungeons or the Millenium Bridge. Among them is also Tate Modern, a phenomenal gallery with 20th century art, great architecture (the museum used to be a turbine hall) and a viewing gallery on level 10. Entry is free and life is amazing.
Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens
The park spreads itself over 142 hectares with grass, ponds, trees and some beautiful sights. It used to be a hunting ground for the royals and later a venue for duels, executions and horse races. In the early 17th century the park was the first park which was opened to the public. Hyde Park is separated from Kensington Gardens by the Serpentine, a small lake.
The East End is the up and coming area of London. Due to its many immigrants it is highly multicultural, colorful and kind of the hipster area. Definitely check out the Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday (it's beautiful!) and Brick Lane Markets including Brick Lane's Famous Bagels (be sure to go to the right one as there are two!). If you're lucky you'll get to enjoy some nice music from this guy who - against initial beliefs - is not Norman Reedus (sadly).
Nothing says British like a full on afternoon tea experience. There are more than many places in London where you can indulge in this culinary experience. So a little research is recommended to find the perfect spot for you. Even though afternoon tea can be quite expensive, I can definitely recommend spending the money on some fancy schmancy place - its afternoon tea after all. The Ritz, Sketch, Claridge's and Shangri-La at The Shard are a few addresses worth checking out and I can definitely recommend the wonderful Fortnum & Mason.
Bonus: Harry Potter Studios
To be fair - it's not exactly located in London but it still needs to be on every Potterhead's itinerary when you make the trip. It certainly was one of my highlights (who would have thought hah). Even though you need to book your tickets way in advance and take a train as well as a bus (bus ride hater right here), it's still worth the effort (and also worth the money). There were so many cool facts to learn about the making of the Harry Potter movies and I could have stayed for days (I didn't. But I could have).
Of course there are many more attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral or of course Picadilly Circus, that are definitely worth a visit. But for you guys I narrowed it down to my top 10.
Let me know what you think of my choice! Have you ever been to London? What are your top sights in the Big Smoke?
Kate recommends: I could probably recommend about a bazillion (pretty accurate estimation) reads that go well with a visit in London, but for my first post it has to be something epic, thus I decided to go with "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - and I don't care if it's cheating if I recommend ALL of them. More precisely, it's a collection of twelve short stories featuring the most famous detective (or highly functioning sociopath?) Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick John Watson. While the first story was published in 1891 in The Strand Magazine, it has since been published about a bazillion (also pretty accurate estimation) times, not to mention the several TV shows or movies. Definitely a classic.

The digital games industry (broadly encompassing mobile, PC and console games) is increasingly adopting gambling style systems in their games in order to increase revenue. These gambling style systems take many forms, but primarily work to encourage players to unlock digital content in games that can only be accessed through systems of chance, which are purchased with real currency.
As Griffiths and King (2015) argue, there is a number of similarities between the techniques and mechanisms involved in the design of gambling style systems such as loot boxes in digital games and regulated gambling. For instance, both are designed to exploit desires for 'one more go' and the hope that the next box will have the item the player is looking for, thus making up for previous 'failed' purchases, where no desired or valuable item was present (Schull 2012). But, unlike gambling, which is a highly regulated activity in the UK and limited to people over the age of 18, gambling style systems in digital games are unregulated and regularly targeted at children and young people under 18.
Focusing on children's experiences and practices and also engaging families and games designers, the project seeks to understand how young people actually use, make sense of and respond to gambling style systems in digital games in their everyday lives. Moving beyond purely legal or formal analyses of these systems, the project addresses the key societal question of whether these systems encourage gambling like behaviour and if they do then how can these systems and services be regulated? In doing so, the project will produce evidence to inform regulatory debate and influence public policy around gambling systems in digital games and changing definitions of digital gambling more broadly.

Finally, the tubers are counted. Pathetic aren't they. To be fair, these were grown from the survivors of the great deer attack in 2013 before the fence was installed but I was hoping for a better return.
From the top left, oca Rose Pink originally from a another enthusiasist, Ian Pearson I think, who gave me two types from his breeding programme. A very light pink and white and a slightly darker pink and white one which was very similar. One of these has fallen by the wayside but I'm not sure which. Anyway, what's there is barely enough to try next year - a story that's going to be repeated again and again sadly.
Still on the top line the next oca is the "shocking" pink variety I saved from Waitrose all those years ago. As can be seen they make a good sized tuber when they're happy but again I don't have enough to actually eat any.
In the middle at the top is the so called Wild ulluco. These were sent to me in a selection pack by Bill Whitson of Cultivariable seeds and this is the first year I've grown them. Compared to the other ulluco they finished early and I wonder if a greater yield would have happened had I been able to keep the plants going a little longer. Anyway, there's enough there to try again, if it seems worth it.
Next along that row are the ulluco I've managed to keep going from my original Realseeds varieties. They might possibly be Cusco Market if a name is helpful and last year I tried growing the two very slightly differing variants separately to see if it was possible to distinguish them more clearly. The jury is still out. These are the pinker sort, and immediately below the more yellow type. It's obvious that some are pinker than others and in the yellow team ditto. So who can tell?
Finally at the end on their own are the Purple ulluco also from Cultivariable. These did best of all this year (not saying much) and look clean and attractive. I may have enough tiddlers to offer a few for swaps if anyone is interested in giving this most unrewarding novelty a go.
On the left again for the bottom row, just two tiny white oca tubers (Realseeds, years ago) survive. These white ones were the only reliable flowerers I had, so seed breeding looks like a no go area for a while yet. Hopefully I can bring them back from the brink.
Next to them the dark red New Zealand type collected from Waitrose at the same time as the pink. I have a particular fondness for these, the colour is pretty and I've already lost and found them back in 2007/8 when the crop failed but I found some volunteers from a previous year in a piece of land returned to scrub.
In the middle at the bottom some white ulluco from Bill. I am a fool as these were sent from his trials and identified only by a working title, some letters and numbers which I kept meaning to transcribe somewhere safe but then forgot to do. So I've no idea what they are exactly. However, they were chosen as part of an attempt to get flowers for seed production and I've been calling them 'flowering' on labels. Interesting looking long white tubers but not many of them. Another one to nurture (or not) next year.
Next to those the yellower Cusco Market ulluco mentioned above.
It's not a very inspiring collection. This year was, in terms of late maturing root crops, practically perfect with a long golden autumn and next to no serious frost before Yule but the field crops were non-existant and the potted ones nearly the same. I keep hoping I'll perfect my growing techniques and start to get usuable quantities. I'm beginning to think that this isn't ever going to happen.

As we ready for the opening of ME: An Exhibition of Contemporary Self-Portraiture, an exhibit we're co-presenting with Sugarlift at High Line Nine in NYC from January 16, 2020, to January 30, 2020, we look forward to another NYC show that launches the night before. On January 15th, Almine Rech opens their NYC space to Vaughn Spann's The Heat Lets us Know We're Alive, as he continues a successful series of solo presentations seen in LA, Tokyo, and Miami.
His new project features an interchange of painting styles the artist has traversed. "My practice is a bit conceptual, and it oscillates between figuration and abstraction because I'm interested in these stylistic separations and distinct breaks," Spann told Juxtapoz in his interview for our Spring 2019 issue.
Following intuition and experience, Spann delves into artmaking that explores the variety of ventures he experiences as a friend, father, husband and citizen of the world. With this impetus, he creates figurative work as a commentary on day-to-day life and personal encounters, as well as conceptual work with a focus on materials and technique. His abstract work typically features an X mark, seemingly buried inside burnt or frozen textures and surfaces, questioning the symbol's impact and meaning. Whether referencing the graphics of a once-popular sci-fi series or the influential American Muslim minister and social-rights activist, Malcolm X, Spann's conceptual works invites close inspection of the layers of nuance.
The Heat Lets us Know We're Alive, to some extent, explores the theory of language journalist Mark Rappolt described as "a social construction, (which) changes according to who you are, with whom you are conversing and according to all the experiences they have accumulated, changes through history, changes with geography, and changes according to context." This is underscored in the Symbiotic paintings, works the artist began in his first year at Yale. Originating with the idea of bestoying more awareness to his work by adding a second head, these images are profound and offer strata of interpretation, much like the language itself. Addressing social, economic, political and historical issues through a subtle use of symbols, gestures and color choice, Vaughn tip toes into conversations that otherwise might feel assertive, biased or even creepy. –Sasha Bogojev

Bardet bounces back with top-10 Amstel Gold finish
By Cyclingnews published 22 April 19
Frenchman only recently returned from crash; among favourites for Fleche and Liege

Romain Bardet continued his AG2R La Mondiale team's run of decent spring Classics finishes with ninth place at Amstel Gold on Sunday. The Frenchman only recently returned to racing having crashed out of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya in late March, and must now be considered one of the favourites for Wednesday's Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège next weekend.

Bardet makes successful return to competition at Paris-Camembert
Oliver Naesen has principally flown the flag for the French WorldTour team this spring, with second place at Milan-San Remo, third at Gent-Wevelgem and – in the Belgian's eyes, at least – a slightly disappointing seventh place at the Tour of Flanders and 13th at Paris-Roubaix.
Naesen also took 28th at Amstel, which is a race that Bardet had said didn't particularly suit him, either, and which he hadn't raced since 2014, when he finished 33rd. He then promptly rode to his top-10 finish there this weekend.
"To tell the truth, I've never felt great at Amstel," Bardet told Cyclingnews at the Volta a Catalunya, before he crashed out. "But it could well be important to have this race in the legs ahead of Flèche and Liège."
Bardet now goes into this week's Flèche full of the confidence that a top-10 result provides, having only returned to racing at last Wednesday's Paris-Camembert, after the crash that left him with sore – but luckily not fractured – ribs after a 70kph downhill crash on the final stage of the Catalan stage race.
"The race kicked into gear very early, and was pretty disjointed," Bardet said of his Amstel Gold ride on his team's website.
"It's nice to get to the finish line with a chance to go for the win in a race like Amstel. I didn't panic today, and started to feel better and better as the kilometres ticked by.
"For my return to UCI WorldTour racing, this result bodes well for the next two events: Flèche Wallonne [April 24] and Liège-Bastogne-Liège [April 28]," Bardet added. "I wasn't certain how well I would go when I arrived here, so I'm pretty happy with this result. This is actually my first top 10 at this race, and I can see that my body is responding well after some heavy workloads."
Bardet has targeted the Ardennes Classics as one of his goals this season, which he started late – but well – with second place overall at the Tour du Haut Var in late February. He then raced to fifth place overall at Paris-Nice in mid-March, before crashing out at Catalunya while sitting in eighth place.
The 28-year-old is expected to take a break after Liège, and will then likely head to the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain for a high-altitude training camp in May – as he's done each year since 2014 – before returning to racing at the Critérium du Dauphiné in June, ahead of the Tour de France.
Bardet will attempt to improve on a best Tour finish of second, achieved in 2016, in an effort to become the first French rider to win the race since Bernard Hinault in 1985.

Theresa May PMQs: watch her best, worst and weirdest moments from three years of Prime Minister's Questions
These are some of the best, worst and weirdest moments from her three years at the dispatch box
By Albert Evans
July 24, 2019 9:18 am(Updated October 8, 2020 11:52 am)
Theresa May's three years as Prime Minister have seen her facing off against Jeremy Corbyn on a weekly basis at Prime Minister's Questions.
With neither leader performing particularly well in the format, the best moments have largely come from mistakes and slip-ups in their carefully choreographed routine.
But there have been times when the planning itself has clearly been the issue, with a number of truly terrible scripted jokes that even the Tory benches have struggled fall in behind – while others have seen the chamber in stitches, but not for the reason's she expected.

The purpose of the weekly session at 12 o'clock on Wednesday, which has existed in some form for many centuries but became formalised in 1881, is to provide the legislature the chance to scrutinise the workings of government.
It is normally an opportunity to grandstand in front of the nation's TV camera's backed up by an approving wall of noise from the Government's benches. But as Mrs May's authority has ebbed she has faced ever-tougher criticism from her own backbenches.
She will step away from the dispatch box, and from Number 10 after her final session on Wednesday after the anger within her own party became too much to withstand. Watch some key moments from her time in PMQs in the video above.

With Boris Johnson due to take the lead once Parliament returns in September, having been elected Tory Party leader on Tuesday, the tone of PMQs is likely to change drastically.
Mr Johnson is a far more theatrical character, whose appearances at the dispatch box during his time as Foreign Secretary being characterised by a flamboyant approach to questions from MPs.
But the new prime minister has a tendency for improvisation which has on occasions proved his downfall. On one occasion in March 2018 an ad-libbed joke directed at opposite number Emily Thornberry over her husband's surname earnt him a stern reprimand from Speaker John Bercow who accused him of being 'sexist.'
The tendency to make things up as he goes along has had far graver consequences before after he incorrectly told a committee in Parliament in November 2017 that British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who was jailed in Iran was "simply teaching people journalism"
The claims were jumped on by officials in the oppressive middle-eastern state as evidence and the comments complicated her legal case. Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe remains imprisoned to this day.
With Mr Johnson commanding only a slender majority in the Commons these sessions will be key to bolstering his support in the chamber for this programme in Government – but aides will be keen to avoid any unforced slip-ups that hand the advantage to the opposition.
But with such an unpredictable figure at the dispatch box after three years of dreary sessions in the Commons, the public may find themselves tuning in at midday once again.

Q: Changing setimeout delay time while its running I would like to change Or update the setimeout delay time while it's running. I have verified by using debounceTime() as an alternate. But need to find how to update the ulready mentioned delay time.instead of creating new.
In the above code snippet I have mentioned the delay as 10 sec. But my need is after this settimeout is started when a mouseevent is triggered I need to update the delay time while settimeout is running.
Kindly advise. Thanks

A: You can create a Timer class to help. Please see the below implementation.
Timer.start to start the timer. if you want to change some data and re-run. Then use Timer.interrupt. It will take delta and run the function again. You can modify your logic.

class Timer {
  constructor(cb, ms = 2000) {
    this._ms = ms;
    this.ms = ms;
    this.cb = cb;
    this.timer = null;
    this.startedAt = null;
  }
  start() {
    this.startedAt = new Date().getTime();
    clearTimeout(this.timer);
    console.log("started");
    this.timer = setTimeout(() => {
      this.cb();
    }, this._ms);
  }
  intrupt() {
    const timeSpends = new Date().getTime() - this.startedAt;
    const timeLeft = this.ms - timeSpends;
    if (timeLeft > 0) {
      this._ms = timeLeft;
      this.start();
    }
  }
}
console.time("TIME");
let counter = 0;
const timer = new Timer(() => {
  console.timeEnd("TIME");
  console.log("counter: ", counter);
});

timer.start();
setTimeout(function cancel() {
  counter++;
  timer.intrupt();
}, 1000);

Re: What do you think the strongest standalone trait is?
Abnegation would have to be my pick.
It allows you to turn massively powerful heals into massively powerful attacks that for the most part, can't be defended against. The Life Overheal perk makes it shine.
It also has multiple trait combos that borderline on truly disgusting amounts of damage output.
Hmmm. Pure singletons is hard. I have to give props to necronomicon for carrying me a good while. And while it might not technically count, I feel Inner Hatred is insanely good as well, as it makes many more things better than you'd expect.
Ignoring combos and additional traits, I've always thought that Wolpertinger traits are the best. Free spell casts on hit and when hit.
Been finding a lot of success with straight crypt bats. Bombardment does 10% damage and ignores defenses and shell.
Have been running through battles against things 100 plus levels and it's pretty obvious that gene strength becomes to your advantage at some point.
I pour points into attack , defense, and speed.
This is an interesting question. Temperance seems to give a lot of value in terms of versatility, and avoids lockout from Siren Soothsayer if you have a balanced-ish party, but I can't see that scaling too well when you're outleveled. Wreck is really nice for an individual creature, since Health gets more points per enchantment slot than Attack and also helps you out defensively. Of course, Swiftcasting is crazy useful since it allows you to make Speed even better and makes a lot of parties more viable. War Forged will also help out a lot of parties with no questions asked. Oh, and speaking of Siren Soothsayer, Filtered Truth seems real powerful. If you're not specifically set up to counter it, it'll neuter you, even for Burn/Poison reliant teams and the like.
Affluence is also real good. Assuming you've bought the three extra spell gem slots in the perks (I have no idea why you wouldn't) and modded your weapon for two extra slots, it's 400% extra damage -- and the ability as written makes no distinction between permanent and temporary spell gems, so you can trick that out even further. Cold Touch cripples a lot of things. Everglow is good by itself and helps put a lot of spells, buffs and traits.
If you're the type who runs Tribe parties (or single-type summon party), Pharaoh's Boon is pretty alright for 60% extra stats across a party for a legendary artifact slot. Similarly, Solace, Darkness Fate, Dark Aegis, Primitive Incantation and Thaumaturgy are great value.
Strength of mind is one of the strongest in my opinion. Diligence is also up there in my opinion since alot of other creature traits work off of those debuffs.
I loathe seeing Diamond Paragons, they mess everything up.
@Umaro regarding swiftcasting, my chosen Forum Avatar is there for exactly that reason; so OP.
Diamond attunement has definitely forced me to keep my essential traits on my artifacts. My innate traits are mostly to just make battles go faster. When those are shut down the battle is much longer of course but I can usually win simply because the other team is denied their innate traits as well.
Fan of Knives (From Troll Knife Juggler) is amazing. I never hear anyone talk about it though. It appears to ignore defense and it means you can stack speed instead of attack. It is particularly amazing paired with creatures/spells that get multiple (normal) attacks. Fury swipes for instance means it'll proc 5 times in just one turn!
Not really "strongest", but most convenient is definitely Charge. Ending fights in 15 seconds is really nice for farming.
I guess I'd say the strongest, IMHO, is Ultimatum.
I'd say it's Swiftcasting. It eliminates the need for one stat entirely and it allows you to bypass that annoying Siren Soothsayer.
This topic disregards trait combos. Comboing traits can accomplish shockingly awesome things, but that can be discussed elsewhere.
What one trait by itself do you think is most powerful or game changing?
For me, it is Hell's protection from Abaddon Guard (via arena).
1 shot or go home. I feel like this is the most effective defensive trait in the game. It allows you to essentially ignore any damage that wouldn't outright one shot your creatures. It applies to damage types that penetrate defense. I love this trait and try to find room for it in all my groups.
