Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes defeat in the Europa League final to Sevilla can be the catalyst for a "wonderful future" for the club, outlining his plans to revamp the squad ahead of the new campaign. Daniel Sturridge gave the Reds a first-half lead in Basel but Kevin Gameiro equalised 17 seconds after the break before Coke netted a double to secure the La Liga club their third consecutive triumph in the competition.
Defeat means Klopp's side will not be involved in European competition next season, leaving them free to focus on their domestic campaign. After losing in the Capital One Cup final on penalties to Manchester City, the loss in Switzerland is the second major final failure of the campaign – but Klopp is eager to take the positives from the campaign.
On route to the final at St. Jakob-Park, Liverpool saw off Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal in dramatic fashion. With those performances coming less than a year into Klopp's tenure at the club, the results represent encouraging signs ahead of next term. The coach is hopeful his side can be inspired by their disappointment but promises they will be different next season following the transfer window – reiterating his plans to invest in the summer.
"Tomorrow, in a week or whatever, we will see it a little bit more clearly and then we will use this experience," he said, according to the official Liverpool website. "That's what we have to do. Now it's clear we are not in a European competition next year, it means no football on a Thursday and it means we have time to train.
"We will use it and we will come back stronger, that's for sure. You saw on the way to the final we had a few moments where we maybe over-performed – we were unbelievable, great and the boys showed what they are capable of, but then to have this consistency you need a little bit more time.
"They are still young and this was their first big final – unfortunately their second [losing] final of the season, but it was a big final and we will use this experience together. Then someday everybody will say Basel was a very decisive moment for the wonderful future of Liverpool.
He added: "To use the time, to use the experience – that's what we have to do. Time to train. We will still use the break and hopefully they all come back healthy and we have no injury problems from the first day of pre-season. It will be a long tournament [Euro 2016] for a lot of my players – the Belgian players, the English players, the German player.
"They can stay in the tournament for a long time and then have a short break and then they will start again. To use the time, that's it. Of course, this team will be a little bit different next year, that's clear. We will do something with transfers, that's clear.
"But, first of all, we need to use the experience because I am sure we will be in a final again and we will have decisive moments again. And if we have decisive moments then we have to react better, all of us."

Q: When ever I run this music script it works except for changing the GUI text to the current song name local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local mutebutton = script.Parent

local track = game.StarterGui.MusicPlayer.Track

local b = game.StarterGui.MusicPlayer.Playlist:GetChildren()

local c = math.random(1, #b)

local d = b[c]

while true do
    wait()
    d:Play()

    local connection = mutebutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
        if d.IsPaused then
            d:Resume()
            mutebutton.Text = "Pause"
        else
            d:Pause()
            mutebutton.Text = "Resume"
        end
    end)

    d.Ended:Wait()
    connection:Disconnect()

    d:GetPropertyChangedSignal("SoundId"):Connect(function()
        track.Text = d.Name
    end)

end

Everything works until the Get Property Changed Signal event. Whenever I load into the game the box that should have the song name will instead not do anything and keep it as an empty box. Anyone know why?

A: It seems you have a single mute button (not one for each song), so why are you putting the pausing functionality inside a while loop?
You're not changing the sound id anywhere, is there more code that you're not showing?
You have a variable "local d" but this is only ever calculated outside of the loop so it will just repeat the same song over.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local mutebutton = script.Parent

local track = game.StarterGui.MusicPlayer.Track

local b = game.StarterGui.MusicPlayer.Playlist:GetChildren()

local c = math.random(1, #b)

local song -- definite it originally here as nil so we can access it outside of the loop

mutebutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   if song.IsPaused then
       song:Resume()
       mutebutton.Text = "Pause"
   else
       song:Pause()
       mutebutton.Text = "Resume"
   end
end)

while true do

    song = b[math.random(1, #b)]
    track.Text = song.Name
    song:Play()

    song.Ended:Wait()

    task.wait()
end

This might work, but I can't see your Explorer

Review: Gandalf's Fist-Road to Darkness
I was surprised to find out that Gandalf's Fist, wasn't a metal band. Those metal bands certainly do love their Tolkien. But alas, Gandalf's Fist is a progressive rock band often reminiscent of Pink Floyd.
Gandalf's Fist, comprised of Dean (Musics and Generic Warbling) and Luke (Song-writing and Wizard Impressions), released The Master and the Monkey earlier this year. A jam session from that recording led to the creation of their latest release, Road to Darkness. The concept behind the Road to Darkness is a re-imagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Lyman Frank Baum (how Floyd of them) in which a girl is transported to an alien world by an evil sorcerer. Would you know all of this by listening to it? You certainly get hints to it while listening and by song title, but now you can better picture it as you listen I suppose.
What Gandalf's does here is reminiscent of Floyd of course, but much of the album is instrumental, which works more for me on most of these tracks. There are some tracks that vary and rock more than older Floyd though. A few of them do have more of a modern prog-rock sound. Really, that element mostly happens with the spacey vocals, so that is why I prefer more of the instrumentals. That said I do feel that there was just a little too much instrumental music for my taste, although those that prefer it will surely find it satisfying.
I generally prefer to have an album be all or nothing, and here it's about 50/50. It is a nice variation from song to song, and the theme certainly helps that along through Road to Darkness. Like most prog-rock, it does have some moments that are a bit weirder (as to be expected with this concept) than your usual pop/rock. This will likely turn some listeners off, but again it is to be expected with this genre.
The bottom line is, if you're down with the concept of Road to Darkness works for you and you're into Pink Floyd influenced music and prog-rock, this album is a good choice. It's got some fun bits to it, and the more you listen to it, the more you can feel and get into the idea of it. If that doesn't interest you, it will come off a bit strange. I generally fall somewhere in the middle on this one. At times I enjoyed the idea, others I felt it went a little too far and became more artistic than entertaining. Still, Gandalf's Fist, has put together a creative and interesting release, and most impressively, very quickly after their previous output. It will be interesting to see if they can continue this wave of creativity.
3.5/5 Stars

He also believes that true flow experiences are unique in that they represent an internal re-ordering, and that each time you experience flow, you become a more complex person. He means "complex" in a good way, here — that we become more dynamic, more able to take on challenges, and more engaged with the world each time we allow ourselves to push past difficulty and experience flow in our work and leisure. In other words, these optimal experiences are the fertile ground for growth and personal development.
The book, originally published in 1990, is a different kind of treatise on happiness than most of the self-help books you will find. Csikszentmihalyi's research focuses on life-work satisfaction ("happiness"), and at the time of publication, he was using some interesting techniques to get self-reports from participants in all walks of life. He would give each research participant a pager and a log book. At random intervals throughout the day, the pager would beep and the participant would record what they were doing, and how they felt, etc. What he discovered was that certain people experienced high levels of satisfaction at work or at play, but not in the ways you might expect.
For instance, we might naturally assume that people experience flow more frequently when they are at rest than when they are at work, but Csikszentmihalyi's studies suggest the opposite. Because flow is more likely to happen when you are focused on a task — when you are pushing yourself a little bit — it is actually more common for flow to occur at work unless your leisure-time involves similarly challenging activities such as sports, music, art, etc.
The good news is that there is a very specific set of variables that combine together to create flow, and that once you understand these variables, you can (to a certain extent) control them and use them to experience flow more often. That elusive feeling of being completely "lost" in your work need not be so elusive. I will discuss those characteristics of flow in a future post.
I give this book 4.5/5 stars. As a person who truly enjoys those fleeting moments of flow that come during my creative (and other) work, it was truly liberating for me to believe that I could control that experience to some degree — invite it more frequently and more deeply into my life and use it to the benefit of myself and others. I have put the principles of this book into practice and, for me, they hold true. The ideas described in "Flow" have encouraged me to spend more of my leisure time in challenging and/or creative pursuits, rather than just sacking out on the couch and watching TV.
Because Csikszenmihalyi is an academic, a researcher, and a professor, the book does at times run the risk of becoming a bit dry and technical. It was an early attempt to describe his research findings to the general public, and you can tell sometimes that he is either out of depth (writing about topics that were recent research discoveries and, therefore, not as well articulated or understood) or off on theoretical tangents that are of interest to him but may not necessarily be of interest to the reader. Mercifully, he resisted the temptation to fill the book with footnotes and references, and instead includes a detailed appendix with running academic commentary in case you want to know more about a particular subject. Without this appendix format, I would have given the book a lower score.
Finally, the book was published in 1990, and can sometimes feel a bit dated. You get the distinct sense that the spectacular arrival of the internet and its resultant complex global climate would contribute interesting ideas to this discussion. I would be interested to read his more recent publications, but haven't done so. This book still stands as the best introduction to his thoughts and ideas. I believe this book has the capacity to enrich our lives on a personal, creative, and professional level and I highly recommend it.
Have you read it? If so, what did you think? If not, does the idea interest you?

Some of the styles are not being applied to collapsed selections. This happens with the Styles combo, Font Face, Size and Colors. Strangely, its doesn't happen with the button styles, like Bold and Italic.

I have a map with 20k+ actors and when I'm trying to copy a group of actors 200+ the editor can freeze even for +20 minutes. My current engine version is 4.4.
I can easily reproduce this behavior on 4.3 shoter game HighRise map, I copied actors that whole level contains ~3300 actors and grouped 315 actors, then copy, editor freezed for ~30 seconds.
How long it takes to copy a large amount of actors depends on the complexity of the actors themselves and your hardware setup. The scenario you described in Shooter Game is standard behavior when copying that many actors.
As for what you are seeing in your project, 20k actors in one scene is quite a lot. You may want to consider Level Streaming, hiding groups of assets that you aren't working on, using Unlit Mode, or turning off certain process heavy features in the Perspective Viewport (Anti-aliasing, Particle Sprites, etc.).
I do not agree with you, my rig(I7,32 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 770), isn't bad for UE4. Our level is divided on smaller subleveles, yes we were preparing streaming.
using Unlit Mode, or turning off certain process heavy features in the Perspective Viewport (Anti-aliasing, Particle Sprites, etc.).
These setting doesn't affect copying actors!
Check my comments in code and as you see there is O(n^2) - 2 loops in this function with simple hashmap you can get O(1) which is much faster.
I got with our devs on this and it seems a optimization fix was just submitted for this bit of code. Copying large amounts of actors will still be an expensive operation, but this fix helps streamline the process.
Look for the adjustment to be included of a future editor update.

Everyone experiences conflict, and we could all do better resolving our conflicts. INP works to provide students across Harvard University with the opportunity to better understand, manage, and resolve conflict in their own lives and as emerging leaders across many sectors.
Courses: INP supports an undergraduate platform of activities on conflict resolution, including an annual course taught by Professor Shapiro called, "GHHP 60: Conflict Management: From the Interpersonal to the International." In this course, students deep dive into negotiation theory, including its rational, emotional, and identity-based dimensions, and they take part in dynamic, experiential exercises and self-reflection activities to enhance their knowledge and know-how of negotiation.
Guest Lectures. INP faculty lecture across Harvard University, including recent presentations at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, the Harvard Divinity School, Harvard College, and Harvard Medical School.
Executive Education Programs. INP faculty contribute to a variety of executive education programs including Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation and the Harvard Kennedy School's Leadership and Decision Making program.
Harvard College International Negotiation Program: INP has worked with students to form a new undergraduate negotiation club called the "Harvard College International Negotiation Program." INP sponsors and advises the club, which serves as both a resource for students interested in negotiation and a hub of activities to strengthen student's knowledge of and skill in conflict resolution. The program also provides opportunities for students to spread INP's negotiation frameworks to communities, academic institutions, and high school initiatives such as the Model UN.
Undergraduate Internships: INP hosts student researchers to support its research and educational initiatives. It also partners with the Harvard Global Health Institute in hosting Harvard undergraduate researchers to further INP's research and educational efforts and to provide hands-on experience for students.


In keeping with Mt Xia's overriding mentality of automation, our toolsets enable the ability to respond to audit requests via a "self-service" interface which grants access to audit information only to authorized auditors. This relieves the system administration staff from having to gather, format, and provide this information to numerous different auditors, several times a year. Depending upon the size of the organization, this automated audit response system can save hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
The automation of audit response is achieved through the integration of several Mt Xia toolsets. These toolsets continuously gather information about the systems and generate audit documentation containing this information. These documents are uploaded to Mt Xia's content management system and made available to auditors upon request. The only on-going task for the system administrator, is to grant or deny access to auditors.
IAM is a detailed and systematic method for examining security vulnerabilities from an organizational perspective as opposed to a only a technical perspective. Often overlooked are the processes, procedures, documentation, and informal activities that directly impact an organization's overall security posture but that might not necessarily be technical in nature.
NSA developed the IAM to give organizations a repeatable framework for conducting organizational types of assessments. We can also provide clients, appropriate information on what to look for in an assessment provider.
The IAM is also intended to rase awareness of the need for organizational types of assessment versus the purely technical type of assessment.
National Security Agency's IAM is a baseline measurement of the controls implemented to protect information that is transmitted, processed, or stored by a specific system. Simplified, this is a measurement of the security posture of a system or organization.
The OICM is based on the client decisions about the information types within their own organization that are critical for the completion of their mission and meeting organizational goals.
Defines those specific systems that process, transmit, or store the client's critical information. These are the key information systems that have the greatest impact on the client's operations. From a technical perspective, these are the systems that will be most focused on during any technical evaluations that occour in conjuction with the IAM assessment process. From a purely organizaitonal perspective, these are the systems that need the deepest scrutiny because the compromise or complete loss of these particular information systems would most likely have a distinct and often painful impact on the organization.

With 20 years of expert sales experience under her belt, Diane Albano stands as one of the industry's most recognized and celebrated leaders who is also an effective and inspired sales professional, pushing the limits of her success through innovation and strategy modernization. As vice president of Americas operations for Progress Software, a provider of application-infrastructure software for business applications, she continues to lead high-performance sales teams, attracting clients from all over the world and surpassing sales quotas through a core set of values based on her diverse experience and innate talent for ''closing the deal.''
Albano discovered very early in life that she had both an interest in selling and the ability to sell. At the age of 11, she and her brother started their own makeshift car washing and waxing business in their neighborhood.
"I've been hooked ever since," she says.
Her early entrepreneurial skills fully rooted, she also realized (as all natural leader types do) that she enjoyed motivating and managing others who, in turn, supported her vision and helped her build a customer base.
Albano was able to put herself through college at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, by wisely saving and managing the money she earned from various jobs she had throughout her youth.
She recounts, "My passion for sales drove me to success through the odd jobs I completed during high school, and my interest in continuing sales at a higher level motivated me to save money for college."
After graduation, Albano found work as a line umpire in the U.S. Professional Tennis Circuit (Longwood, Newport, RI, and the Volvo Classic). She has been an avid sports aficionado and athlete for many years, belonging to the intramural tennis and swim teams while at college. Though her job as a line umpire was undoubtedly exciting, she longed to turn her passion for selling into a full-fledged career. She elected to return to school to further her credentials, attending the Harvard Business School Program for Management Development.
While at Harvard, she earned a sales position at the Burroughs Corporation, a move she said "reignited [her] interest in sales." From there, she went on to work with large corporations like Honeywell and Xerox, later joining the Digital Equipment Corporation, where she was able to build her expertise into a newly acquired marketing position. This new job helped reinforce to her that sales was her professional ambition.
"It was then that I confirmed my passion for sales," she says. "Though I enjoyed gaining the marketing experience, sales is and always has been my passion, so I naturally progressed to sales at DEC."
Q. What do you do for fun?
A. Anything involving my family equates fun. We ski, play golf and tennis, and scuba dive together. We always enjoy attending sports events, football and baseball games, and great shows. My family and I have taken many trips together, including a safari to South Africa, Alaska, Hawaii, and a recent trip to Italy. When I'm by myself, I really enjoy running, working out, and reading. I am very active and enjoy all kinds of sports as well as travel.
Q. What CD is in your CD player right now?
A. Dave Matthews Band. But I like all kinds of music.
Q. What is the last magazine you read?
A. Newsweek.
Q. What is your favorite TV show?
A. I don't really watch much TV. I like the History Channel, and I really enjoy movies.
Q. Who are your role models?
A. My mother, father, and husband. My husband, Dennis, is my best friend and business confidant.
Q. What makes you laugh?
A. My children and my husband. All we do together is laugh and have fun.
Her primary duties at DEC included global account management and sales management. Given her impressive academic and professional credentials, she was selected for the most high-profile and important company projects, including running and managing the aerospace business unit on a worldwide basis. As the successful head of that project, she confirmed her expertise and has never looked back.
"Since then, my sales career has flourished," she says.
Four years into her time at DEC, Albano graduated to a position in its global account management division, a distinguished organization that provides global reach and management to the company's largest and most strategic clients. There, she was responsible for uniting hardware, services, and partner capabilities, which, she soon discovered, was no small task:
"I took over an account that held potential but needed serious strategic help! Before I joined the team, they were unable to get a particular opportunity to move forward with this strategic endeavor. The company claimed we were too difficult to deal with and had decided to pass on our services. It was not just a 'sale' but the creation of an entire new business for this company: militarizing our computers for government use."
In order to resolve the client's issues, Albano took the initiative and visited the client's headquarters, met with several top-level executives, and spent time acquainting herself with the frustrations and difficulties they were experiencing, having dealt with DEC multiple times with no results.
"I wanted to uncover the source of this problem and, thus, regain the customer; ironically, during an elevator ride, I sparked conversation with someone who turned out to be the president of the company, which provided me with the opportunity to discuss the problems. I introduced myself and empathized with his frustrations dealing with DEC, detailing solutions and promising changes to our relationship with his company. Through this interaction, I showed him that we would not let him down again and that we are serious and passionate about working together on this very strategic project. We were able to win this sale, cementing a long-term partnership that has lasted for over 20 years. And the rest is history."
Albano counts this experience as one of the most memorable of her career. Her success in reaching a positive resolution, which testified to the depth of her expertise and business acumen, provided her with a definite sense of accomplishment and excitement.
She says she also learned a valuable lesson that day about approaching clients:
"Prepare yourself, know your customers, and be passionate about what you are doing. Running a worldwide sales force selling for a complex software infrastructure company has its challenges. However, I believe that even today, with all the technology we have at our disposal, it is still important to meet people face to face because nothing can replace a hands-on approach and knowing your customer intimately."
Her many successes and experiences have taught Albano that there are three great motivators for sales professionals:
Customer Oriented: Salespeople want to control their own destinies with their accounts and respective achievements.
Financial Benefits: What is the goal, and how can you surpass it? Her motto is "Make salespeople wealthy."
Recognition: Salespeople are motivated by recognition.
Throughout the early stages of her career, Albano found that although she was full of ambition and the desire to succeed, there were few other women around her in the business world who could guide her and share their experiences.
She notes, "When I started working in sales during the mid-70s, few women worked in sales, and even fewer worked in computer sales. In general, there were few women in business, and specifically in a management capacity. Starting at my first sales job at Burroughs, I was the only woman out of 160 sales reps. At the beginning of my career, I had very few women mentors to look up to as an example, so I had to look to myself for motivation."
There have been some influential colleagues in her career, though—notably Jack Shields, DEC's head of sales and services, whom she credits with having inspired her to become self-motivated. Initially, they began as colleagues who worked together on sales calls, quickly earning each other's friendship and respect. But their relationship strengthened when they got to know each other outside of work after running into each other while vacationing with their families more than two decades ago.
"[Jack's] guidance has played a very important role in my career, especially during my role at DEC as the global account manager," Albano says. "Jack certainly helped steer me in the direction of accepting that role and encouraged me to always remain customer-centric while balancing what is right for the company. Basically, as a mentor, Jack offered me many lessons, and he is still someone I can call on today."
Albano also acknowledges that just as she has had a mentor over the years, she must serve as a mentor to others.
"I help when and where I can, working to balance management and mentoring both in business and with community members," she says.
In the past, she spent 15 years working as a religious education teacher for her children and their classmates, serving as a positive role model; she maintains relationships with her children's former classmates to this day.
To the up-and-coming group of sales pros, Albano offers the following advice:
"Be proactive and passionate. Specifically, do your research, line up internships, work hard at these internships, network, and build yourself a great reputation with exceptional experience. Moreover, work in a non-paid internship and absorb what it takes to be in sales. Accept your losses in stride and, even better, congratulate yourself on success. Understand and remember that sales is binary, and therefore you will not close the deal until you understand the science behind it. Lining up a pipeline to make quota is an art that you will not master until you are eager to work hard for your customers and can enjoy helping them in order to succeed."

Economic data of a key technology. – In collaboration with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the industrial associations VDMA, Spectaris and ZVEI publish a joint study on the photonics industry. Despite the financial crisis, solid growth of the high-tech segment since 2005.
Munich, Germany, 14 May 2013. –"Photonics have changed from a niche existence to a worldwide accepted key enabling technology, which is a driver for innovation and plays a decisive role for many end users", explains Brodtmann from the German Engineering Federation VDMA at the LASER World of Photonics in Munich, Germany. The new "Photonics Industry Report 2013" was presented for the first time as a result of a joint initiative by the associations VDMA, Spectaris and ZVEI, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The worldwide photonics market totalled about EUR 350 billion in 2011 –versus EUR 228 billion in 2005. This means that the average real growth of the photonics industry was about 6.5 % per annum and exceeded the growth of worldwide GDP by more than two-fold. Already by 2010 / 2011, the photonics industry managed to recover to its pre-crisis level of 2008. The new industry study examines ten photonics sub-segments in all and analyses them in detail for the period from 2005 through 2011. The supplementary medium-term prognosis considers the future growth outlook of the sub-segments from now until 2020.
The domestic production of the German photonics industry totalled about EUR 27 billion in 2011 versus EUR 17 billion in 2005. At 7 %, the average real growth of the German photonics sector was slightly greater than the worldwide average – and thanks to strong exports, it also far outpaced the German GDP and the growth of Germany's industrial production. With an average share of about 8 % of the world market, the German photonics industry has been able to maintain its position in the world market since 2005.
In the strong core areas of the German photonics industry – specifically, in production technology (laser systems and laser beam sources along with lithography systems), in image processing and measurement technology, for optical components and systems, and in medical technology and life sciences – the world market share of 10-16 % was even well above that, having been successfully expanded since 2005. Germany also has underscored its lead position in Europe with a share of more than 40 %. With an average export rate of 66 %, the German photonics industry ranked well above the 47 % average of the processing industries.
And at about 9 %, the R&D ratio was also well above the industry average. At the same time, the German photonics industry has proven to be a strong job engine: Between 2005 and 2011 some 30,000 new jobs were created. When direct supplier industries are included, the workforce comprised 134,000 employees in 2011, which was about 5 % more than the level of 2005.
Photonics production data – broken down by region and country – reveal a shift of market share in the direction China which, with 21 % market share, has now nearly reached parity with world market leader Japan. Those same data also offer clear evidence that regions and countries have a tendency to specialise in individual application segments. The business activities which are oriented more towards production and manufacturing engineering, along with medical technology and life sciences, remain concentrated in the "established" industrial regions, namely Japan, Europe and Germany, and North America. The segments with a stronger IT and communications technology orientation, on the other hand, are clearly concentrated in Asia and the emerging industrial nations of China and South Korea, but also Taiwan and Malaysia.
In the area of production technology, Europe's photonics industry holds a share of about 55 % of the world market and has a worldwide leading position in both laser material processing and in lithography equipment.
In the area of optical components and systems, Europe's world market share is a full 40 %, half of which represents Germany.
In image processing and measurement technology, Europe's world market share is about 35 %, of which Germany holds a share of about 55 %.
In medical technology and life sciences, Europe has a world market share of nearly 30 %, and 55 % of that relates to Germany.
Photonics offers solutions to future challenges in many areas – whether they involve the next generation of industrial manufacturing methods, or energy production and efficiency, or health, environmental protection and safety. It is an important key technology with considerable leverage on other industries and service sectors. Photonics technologies, products, components and system solutions are used in many customer industries along the entire value-added chain: they enable business to enhance their competitiveness through more efficient and more sustainable production processes, faster process workflows and the development of new application fields.
The study projects that the worldwide photonics market will grow to around EUR 615 billion in 2020. That corresponds to an average nominal growth rate of 6.5 %, which makes it about half again as much as the projected rate of growth of worldwide GDP. So the photonics sector will also continue to make a significant contribution to prosperity and help create new jobs in the future. The German photonics industry is expected to post a domestic production volume of nearly EUR 44 billion by 2020. That corresponds to an average nominal growth rate of 5.6 % per annum. At the same time, the core areas will continue to become increasingly important. The number of employees – including those of suppliers – will rise to about 165,000.
Intelligent system solutions, beyond the boundaries of industrial sectors and technologies, are both a growth engine and a challenge for photonics. In particular, they offer opportunities for the German and European segment, which must face competition in low-wage countries. Industry 4.0, the increasing automatisation and flexibilisation of production, and innovative medical processes in diagnostics, therapy and early detection, as well as the requirements of environmental analyses, energy-efficient construction, electromobility or energy management – these are just a few of the topics which are proving to be market drivers for photonics.
Not least due to their strong position within the range of integrated production and process solution offerings, the significance of the German core areas will – according to the study – continue to increase and, with regard to production and employment, make up nearly 80 % of the total in Germany by 2020. In the "light" market, the most promising growth prospects lie in the high-end segment of modern light management systems – Germany's role in "light source" production, on the other hand, is declining.
A strong niche position in the high-end area has also been established by German manufacturers which supply equipment for optical networks. The increasing number of internet applications, Big Data, the growth of mobile communication, and the desire for fast data networks in the wide and local area range are boosting growth prospects here.


133:1.2 "Ganid, it is true, you do not understand. Mercy ministry is always the work of the individual, but justice punishment is the function of the social, governmental, or universe administrative groups. As an individual I am beholden to show mercy; I must go to the rescue of the assaulted lad, and in all consistency I may employ sufficient force to restrain the aggressor. And that is just what I did. I achieved the deliverance of the assaulted lad; that was the end of mercy ministry. Then I forcibly detained the aggressor a sufficient length of time to enable the weaker party to the dispute to make his escape, after which I withdrew from the affair. I did not proceed to sit in judgment on the aggressor, thus to pass upon his motive-to adjudicate all that entered into his attack upon his fellow-and then undertake to execute the punishment which my mind might dictate as just recompense for his wrongdoing. Ganid, mercy may be lavish, but justice is precise. Cannot you discern that no two persons are likely to agree as to the punishment which would satisfy the demands of justice? One would impose forty lashes, another twenty, while still another would advise solitary confinement as a just punishment. Can you not see that on this world such responsibilities had better rest upon the group or be administered by chosen representatives of the group? In the universe, judgment is vested in those who fully know the antecedents of all wrongdoing as well as its motivation. In civilized society and in an organized universe the administration of justice presupposes the passing of just sentence consequent upon fair judgment, and such prerogatives are vested in the juridical groups of the worlds and in the all-knowing administrators of the higher universes of all creation."
133:1.4 "Ganid, I can well understand how some of these problems perplex you, and I will endeavor to answer your question. First, in all attacks which might be made upon my person, I would determine whether or not the aggressor was a son of God-my brother in the flesh-and if I thought such a creature did not possess moral judgment and spiritual reason, I would unhesitatingly defend myself to the full capacity of my powers of resistance, regardless of consequences to the attacker. But I would not thus assault a fellow man of sonship status, even in self-defense. That is, I would not punish him in advance and without judgment for his assault upon me. I would by every possible artifice seek to prevent and dissuade him from making such an attack and to mitigate it in case of my failure to abort it. Ganid, I have absolute confidence in my heavenly Father's overcare; I am consecrated to doing the will of my Father in heaven. I do not believe that real harm can befall me; I do not believe that my lifework can really be jeopardized by anything my enemies might wish to visit upon me, and surely we have no violence to fear from our friends. I am absolutely assured that the entire universe is friendly to me-this all-powerful truth I insist on believing with a wholehearted trust in spite of all appearances to the contrary."
133:1.5 But Ganid was not fully satisfied. Many times they talked over these matters, and Jesus told him some of his boyhood experiences and also about Jacob the stone mason's son. On learning how Jacob appointed himself to defend Jesus, Ganid said: "Oh, I begin to see! In the first place very seldom would any normal human being want to attack such a kindly person as you, and even if anyone should be so unthinking as to do such a thing, there is pretty sure to be near at hand some other mortal who will fly to your assistance, even as you always go to the rescue of any person you observe to be in distress. In my heart, Teacher, I agree with you, but in my head I still think that if I had been Jacob, I would have enjoyed punishing those rude fellows who presumed to attack you just because they thought you would not defend yourself. I presume you are fairly safe in your journey through life since you spend much of your time helping others and ministering to your fellows in distress-well, most likely there'll always be someone on hand to defend you." And Jesus replied: "That test has not yet come, Ganid, and when it does, we will have to abide by the Father's will." And that was about all the lad could get his teacher to say on this difficult subject of self-defense and nonresistance. On another occasion he did draw from Jesus the opinion that organized society had every right to employ force in the execution of its just mandates.

Earlier last week I finished our first cardiology block and we are in the middle of our first respiratory block. Ross sets it up where our first blocks for systems is focused on the normal physiology which is in our earlier semesters. Then in the later semesters, the second block of systems is based more on pathology.
I had a brief introduction to cardio in MERP and I was obsessed! I've never loved a subject as much as cardio. I'm still pretty obsessed with cardio. It's so fascinating that an organ like the heart can do so much and it does it all on it's own! With the help of other things as well but I could nerd out on it forever.
What's fantastic about being in blocks now is we apply what we learning in the books/lectures to a clinical setting! It's so much more fun. We were introduced to Harvey and we got to practice heart sounds. I remember I could never really distinguish between heart sounds but after practicing on Harvey and going home to listen to my own heart sounds, I was able to hear the S1 and S2 clearly and sometimes the S2 split (still working on that, it's so hard!). Everything we were learning in class made so much more sense. Hearing those sounds I was able to apply what was going on physiologically. While I would listen, I'd imagine the pressure-volume loop or Wigger's diagram.
Also, my notes this semester are so much more on point! I love that there's less notes to be made since it's more conceptual and it's more concept maps.
I've found a good study group as well. We met for an hour and reviewed most of cardio and it was a really efficient hour. We just through each lecture and reviewed the most high yield or whatever concep someone had trouble with. Then someone who understood it well taught it. It was awesome in that we each taught something. We all felt comfortable with each other and it was a great learning environment. We plan on meeting once more to finish reviewing cardio and we plan on doing 2 more sessions for respiratory as well before the exam.
Hopefully respiratory is just as fun as cardio!
Image seemed fitting since we're in cardio. Seems pretty accurate about my life!
I'm a second year medical student at Ross University School of Medicine.

Recently released records regarding the Kennedy assassination make it clear just how much of the assassination was covered up by the FBI and CIA. The truth about Vietnam, why Lee Harvey Oswald was under intense scrutiny by the CIA, and the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro are still being uncovered.
One of the central figures in CIA misdeeds was James Jesus Angleton, considered the founding father of the Office of Strategic Services which the CIA formed in 1947. Jim Angleton quickly became one of the most powerful, unelected officials in the U.S. government operating beyond the purview of Congress and the President, essentially running a super secretive CIA within a CIA for many years.
Angleton was responsible for launching a massive surveillance which opened the mail of hundreds of thousands of Americans, including Oswald and his family. The CIA became intensely interested in Oswald, opening their first file on him in 1959. For the next four years as Oswald goes from the U.S. to Moscow to Minsk, Ft. Worth, New Orleans and Mexico, back to Dallas, Angleton's staff is informed of his whereabouts every step of the way.
The story that Oswald was a complete unknown is false. The CIA claims no record of him! It's clear Angleton, the superpower in the CIA at the time committed perjury and obstructed the JFK assassination investigation.
Oswald was in fact the object of intense interest on the part of the CIA for at least four years before the assassination of JFK. Oswald, who had a security clearance while in the military, is known to have offered military secrets to the Soviet Union, yet on his return to the U.S., with a Russian wife, he is not arrested. Odd?
Interviewed twice by the FBI who passed the records onto the CIA, other CIA staff indicated they "wanted to use this defector". Jane Roman, a CIA staffer said, there was a keen interest in Oswald. It looks as if someone was running an operative on Oswald as it seems everywhere Oswald went he touched on CIA operations and his contacts with them only accelerated as JFK's assassination came closer.

Q: Can I make a property sheet without resource script? I'd like to add controls to a property sheet without resource script, rather using pure code.
The reason for this I'd like to create a property sheet(mimicking C#'s property grid), calling C routines/WINAPI, from another language, binary-compatible to C; but I'd like to define everything with code, without need of a resource script. Is this possible or the way to go is write my own property-sheet-like, with underlying CreateWindow*() calls? (different approaches to do this are welcome, I'm new to WINAPI) which I suppose property sheet use behind the scenes

A: Found the solution! I found this post from Raymond Chen where he shows how do that.
the main code goes like this:
BOOL FakeMessageBox(HWND hwnd, LPCWSTR pszMessage, LPCWSTR pszTitle)
{
 BOOL fSuccess = FALSE;
 HDC hdc = GetDC(NULL);
 if (hdc) {
  NONCLIENTMETRICSW ncm = { sizeof(ncm) };

   // Next comes the font description.
   // See text for discussion of fancy formula.
   if (ncm.lfMessageFont.lfHeight < 0) {
     ncm.lfMessageFont.lfHeight = -MulDiv(ncm.lfMessageFont.lfHeight,

how to fix Sims 4 crashes
How to Fix The Sims 4 Crashes, Freezes and Other Errors
By Vgamerz , September 5, 2014 8:46 am October 11, 2019 1 684
The launch of The Sims 4 has been met with a standing ovation by the community and this is indeed the game that will keep us busy for a long time starting now. However, not all players are as lucky as most of us when it comes to fully enjoying the game and there are reports of The Sims 4 crashes, freezes and other errors, glitches or bugs that make the game unplayable or just not as good as it should be. We are here to share with you a complete set of tips and tricks that will hopefully help you fix The Sims 4 crashes, freezes and other problems that you might be encountering in order to enjoy the full experience of this amazing game.
First of all, before trying any of the fixes listed below, make sure that your computer or laptop meets the minimum system requirements to run the game. Also, make sure that you have applied the latest Sims 4 patch and that you tune down the visual settings according to your system's specifications (if you run on an older computer, try tuning things down a little bit).
So here are the Sims 4 minimum system requirements to start with and exclude possible compatibility issues:
REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.
OS: Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP2), Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8, or Windows 8.1
PROCESSOR: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+ or equivalent (For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62 or equivalent) MEMORY: At least 2 GB RAM
HARD DRIVE: At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games
VIDEO CARD: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0. Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better, ATI Radeon X1300 or better, Intel GMA X4500 or better
If you meet the requirements and you still encounter problems, it's time to go a bit more in depth with the tips and tricks.
Many reports come from users whose game crashes or becomes unresponsive shortly after launch or during regular gameplay. Apparently, that is caused by outdated drivers. Make sure you are running the latest drivers for your graphics card: download the GeForce 340.52 Driver here and the AMD driver here.
Alternately, you should try running the game in Windowed mode. This is specifically useful if your computer restarts when playing The Sims 4 or trying to launch it.
The users whose game crashes after the keyboard freezes in the game managed to prevent this from happening by disabling Origin in the game. In order to do so, right click on The Sims 4, go to properties and check the "Disable Origin" box. Restart the game and you should have no further problems.
Finally, if none of these fixes work, try running the game in offline mode. This also helps users with a lot of crashing and freezing, as well as other performance problems.
How to Fix Sims 4 Black Screen & Llama Face Error
This is a strange error that the game gives you when it doesn't manage to locate your Origin install. There's a bit of work involved to do this, but at least you'll be able to play the game in the end. So, first of all, uninstall your game from Origin. Then, you have to uninstall Origin itself: the easiest way is to head over to its install folder and uninstall it from there (usually C:\Program Files (x86)/Origin/OriginUninstall.exe).
After uninstalling Origin, you have to restart your computer. Install Origin again from its official website (click here) and then install The Sims 4 once more. Play the game and it should work just fine!
How to fix The Sims 4 Missing DLL: [msvcp120.dll] Error: 0x7E
This is usually caused by the fact that you are missing some installs on your computer. Simply go to the Sims 4 Origin install folder (Origin/The Sims 4/__Installer/vc/vc2013/redist) and install vcredist_x64 and vcredist_x86 to fix this problem.
How to Fix The Sims 4 Blurred Graphics & other Graphic bugs
If this is only affecting your Sims, then you have to go to the Game Options and select the Graphics tab. Select the Uncompressed Sim Textures box, then apply changes and restart the game for the change to take effect. Your Sims should look OK now.

Sen. Barrasso: GOP Will Make Biden a 'One-Half Term President' in 2022
(USA Features) Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso lashed out at President Joe Biden and Democrats on Wednesday over the White House's massive $6 trillion budget after saying he plans on making the current occupant of the Oval Office a "one-half term president."
"Look, Joe Biden will sign whatever Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer can put on his desk no matter how reckless, no matter how expensive it is," he said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom."
His comments come after he said during an event sponsored by the conservative Ripon Society that he wanted to stunt Biden's presidency through the ballot box beginning next year.
"Mitch McConnell's come under a lot of criticism for saying at one point he wanted to make sure that Barack Obama was a one-term president," Barrasso said at the event, according to a video posted by the Ripon Society Tuesday.
"I want to make Joe Biden a one-half-term president, and I want to do that by making sure they no longer have the House, Senate, and White House," he added.
Barrasso also lambasted Biden's policies "whether it's open borders, higher taxes," energy or cyber-attacks.
"Today we're importing more energy from Russia than we're using from Alaska," said Barrasso. "We were energy dominant. We're now energy-dependent.
"We need to continue to use energy as a massive resource. We need to stop those policies," added the Wyoming Republican.
"As long as you have this freight train of Biden in the White House, Pelosi and Schumer, they will continue to try to do things like this $7 trillion massive spending that they can only pay for by raising taxes on all Americans."

I just finished Thomas Sowell's Economic Facts and Fallacies and found it thoroughly enjoyable. Sowell has written quite a lot on this theme and he has been consistently clear and persuasive. He and several others excel at making the case that Friedman, et al. made in the 1970s. In fact, it was probably a harder sell then than now.
So what's the problem? In this morning's WSJ, Stephen Moore interviews Phil Gramm, who reminds us that, "They didn't live up to what they promised to do. Power corrupted them. They spent lots of money and tried to buy votes. Republicans concluded that they could make voters love them by governing the way Democrats did."
All of the hard work of the thinkers that Boettke cites did nudge the center of American politics in the direction of liberty (and prosperity). But it was all lost because of the Iron Law that power does corrupt. Two-term presidencies ought to go the way of four-term presidencies. It would be a small step in light of the Iron Law.
A press corps that seldom acknowledges the awful performance of transit in America (falling for a hundred years with a brief recovery during WWII gasoline rationing) gives the recent ridership uptick a lot of coverage.
But some perspective helps and Wendell Cox tracks these data best. Having drifted down to 1.8% of all person travel miles by 2000, it has bounced around that level ever since. It had gone down to 1.5% and is now back up to 1.8%.
There are more and more speculations on what the higher price of gasoline means for the shape of cities and suburbs. My new colleague Richard Green posted a discussion on the topic at his blog a couple of days ago. The WSJ ran a piece on the same question yesterday ("Suburbs a Mile Too Far for Some ... Demographic Changes, High Gasoline Prices May Hasten Demand for Urban Living"; WSJ's #1 emailed as of this moment).
One of the places to find the history of inflation-adjusted petroleum prices is in my favorite new Encyclopedia (page 374, by Sue Anne Batey Blackman and William Baumol).
Harry Richardson and Soojung Kim and I presented a conference paper earlier this year where we looked at the cycles of suburbanization-exurbanization since 1969. Our Figures 2a-2g and Tables 3-4 and 3-5 show the "rural renaissance" of the early 70s and how that reversed as the price of gasoline spiked in the early 1980s. But the following cycles of reversal of reversal and so forth did not track gasoline prices. The largest metros came back again in the late 1990s when gas prices were very low. The suburbanization-exurbanization-ruralization cycles that we found tracked the ebb and flow of crime rates better than gasoline prices.
The caveat is that our data were from the BEAs REIS file which is county-level and miss any changes below that level.

Why do so many politicians condemn the poorest to the worst schools? There is good reason to believe that it is for political support from the education establishment -- to whom they promise ever more money, turning a blind eye to evidence that it is of no help.
Incredibly, the great Keynes was unimpressed with central planners' lack of local knowledge, nor did he acknowledge the inevitability of policiticization. To this late date, many smart people still choose to overlook both of central planning Achilles' heels.

Both of the presidential candidates dabble in industrial policy. But with Obama it is the unabashed centerpiece.
The Economist (June 14) mentions MasterCard's ranking of the world's leading centers of commerce. The MC report (Worldwide Centers of Commerce Index) is available online and makes interesting reading. Seventy-two sub-indicators define 43 indicators that make up seven dimensions (legal and political framework, economic stability, ease of doing business, etc.) with various weights. An international panel of experts is cited as the rankers and authors.
I like the Fraser Institute's Freedom of the World project and have used its data. It has been around for a while and there has been some vetting. It would be wonderful to have a useful cities index too.
Trouble is that this one places Philadelphia ahead of Boston (#18 vs #21). And Philadelphia came out of nowhere (unranked in 2007) to its top-twenty-in-the-world spot in 2008. Boston fell from #13.
We'll have to wait and see what they come up with next year.
The Freakonomics post that cites research on the link between fertility and TV soaps in Brazil should not be missed. It appears that the idealized families depicted on TV have fewer children than the population at-large, and this caused large parts of the audience to follow suit.
We expect that TV content follows the culture. But evidence that it can also shape the culture in profound ways worth thinking about.
I was lucky to encounter two gems just days apart.
First I rented and watched Brothers (directed by Susanne Bier; pointed out to me by Bob Hessen), which is stunning and moving. Just when you begin to despair and think that movies have to be stupid, get this one to see what the possibilities are when talented people get everything right.
Second, I bought The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics (edited by David Henderson). I have not yet read all the essays but my sampling has been great fun. The essays are readable and worthy. I typically avoid these sorts of volumes and find them to be dry. This one is the first exception that I have found.
Tyler Cowen writes about globalization in today's NY Times ("This Global Show Must Go On ... The push toward freer trade has reaped many benefits worldwide"). Of course. But we live in a Lou Dobbs world where, both, Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton, embraced protectionism. With all of the talk over history being made because one was a "minority" and the other a woman, much less was made of the fact that neither of them would do more than pander on the most important economic issue. And how many times has it been noted that Obama's base includes the "highly educated"?
The other piece that caught my eye in the same newspaper was the dicussion of the food fairs at modern major league baseball fields ("Buy Me Some Sushi and Baby Back Ribs ... Hot dogs and peanuts are still in the middle of the culinary lineup at major league ballparks, but the rising stars include crab cakes and endamame. You want champagne with that?"). The piece includes a list of quick hits and misses at the various parks' food outlets.
Some of the "highly educated" may be prompted to ponder the connections between these two pieces.
I just came across Linda Chavez's version. Better (and longer) than mine.
Many western European Jews of the late 19th century believed that emancipation was possible. They could be citizens, practice their religion, and even change religions if they liked. Conversion was chosen by many who saw it as an escape from the remaining anti-semitism. All of this ended, of course, when the Nazis made anti-semitism a matter of "blood" and "race".
I had always thought that the American "one-drop rule" was insidious. Unbeknownst to most of us, we carry genes from many "races". We do make formal and informal choices with respect to cultural identification.
What to make of Barak Obama and the hoopla surrounding his candidacy? He is a standard-issue liberal, circa 1965 (with some JFK-type charisma). Not much "change" there.
The celebration has to do with the fact that many identify him as "black" or "African-American". But his post-racial appeal (and his chance at victory) rest on just the opposite, that he is a mixed-race-mixed-background man free to define himself in ways that rise above the tired stereotypes.
There are two things that get in the way. One is the First-Trinity of Chicago crowd and the other is all the hoopla over the first "black" candidate. He and his supporters have to distance themselves from one-drop rule thinking and all the one-drop rule people -- many of whom are among his supporters.
The best discussion on global warming policy options that I have yet seen is in the July 2008 Reason (not yet on line but soon to be, and worth buying and reading in the print version if you cannot wait). Lynne Kiesling argues for cap-and-trade; Ronald Bailey prefers carbon taxes; Fred L. Smith likes neither and is optimistic that future technologies will cause use to look back and laugh at our current fears -- and at the Kyoto-protocols approach.
This three-sided discussion by three smart people is a useful conversation starter for any classroom discussion. I mean grade school through PhD seminars.
Serious discussions of happiness were once the business of philosphers. But social scientists and neural scientists are now in the game because they have each developed powerful new tools.
The Spring 2008 Journal of Economic Perspectives includes Angus Deaton's "Income, Health and Well-Being around the World: Evidence from the Gallup World Poll". It turns out (surprise) that the links are not simple.
Nevertheless, as more and more people are living lives beyond the Malthusian trap, there good grounds for the positive view. If recognizable humans have been around for 50,000 years and if the escape from Malthus is only in the last 250 years, we are talking about the only last one-half of one percent of our existence.
Reading The Economist's "An age of transformation ... America's suburbs are coming to resemble its city centres. That is both good news and bad" (May 31), you get the feeling that they could have made their point much more sharply. It is no longer accurate to think of simply "the suburbs".
David Brooks caught some of this in his On Paradise Drive. Suburbs become exurbs which become settled rural outposts of various flavors. We tried to describe some of this variety in a recent paper.
Speaking of urban footprints, Wendell Cox points to his work on Australian cities and (all things considered) "sprawl" is good.

There is also an element of chance involved—as one never quite knows the exact emotion a piece might evoke from a viewer, or even how a color may finally appear when dry. So for me, discovery is always a part of creating, hence my motivation.

Q: compare the row and column in a list using python function
Possible Duplicate:
Python - Algorithm to determine if a list is symmetric

I need help writing a Python function - symmetric,that takes as input a list of size n(which is a square matrix) that checks the first row is the same as the first column, the second row is the same as the second column and so on, and returns boolean True if the elements are the same and false if they are not. The list could contain integers or strings.
def symmetric(my_list):

my_list = [[1, 2, 3],
           [2, 3, 4],
           [3, 4, 1]]

A: This works in Python2
my_list == map(list, zip(*my_list))

zip(*some_2d_list) is a fairly well known idiom, when some_2d_list is unpacked and processed by zip it has the effect of transposing the rows and columns
Unfortunately zip returns a list of tuples, so it is necessary to convert those to lists. This is what map(list, ...) does
It may appear wasteful as testing for equality will compare each pair that are not on the diagonal twice, but this is done at the C level, so will be much faster than using explicit loops and doing the minimum number of comparisons.
If it is homework, I'd suggest that you should probably use nested loops
EDIT: In Python3, map(...) returns a map object, you can get the Python2 behaviour by using list(map(...))
EDIT: I think in Python3, this is better
all(i==j for i,*j in zip(my_list ,*my_list))

A: import numpy as np
# convert the 2d list into an ndarry
x = np.array(my_list)
# test if x is identical to its transpose
isSymmetric = (x.T == x).all()

isSymmetric then tells you the result.


Blanching these green beans first retains their vibrant color! Then they're sautéed in olive oil and garlic until crisp tender and finished with lemon zest!
When green beans are in season, this is my favorite way to enjoy them.
I have loved green beans ever since I was a little kid when my grandparents grew them in their garden.
I would help pick and trim them, they were always my favorite.
Grandma would cook them with bacon and baby new potatoes (also from the garden) until they were cooked to death.
It wasn't until I was older that I discovered that they were much better cooked crisp-tender.
The secret, or maybe not so secret, to keeping the beans bright green and vibrant is to blanch them for a few minutes and then shock them in ice water to help them retain their color.
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and toss in the green beans.
After they cook for a few minutes, drain them and drop them in a big bowl of ice water.
Just look how gorgeous and green they are!
While the beans are cooling, add the olive oil and garlic to a large skillet and sauté the garlic for about a minute.
Then drain the beans and toss them in the skillet. Stir them to coat them in the garlic and olive oil.
Cook them for a few minutes until they're just heated through, then stir in the lemon zest.
If you're looking for a way to use up that poor naked lemon you have now, try this Shrimp Scampi Linguine.
Pin these Lemon-Garlic Green Beans for later!
Blanching these green beans first retains their vibrant color! Then they're sautéed in olive oil and garlic until crisp tender and finished with lemon zest!
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add green beans. Boil for 3 minutes; drain and immediately place in large bowl of ice water.
Add olive oil and garlic to large skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Drain green beans and add to skillet. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Stir in lemon zest.
I love crisp green beans too! And these are so bright and vibrant. Thanks for the cooking tip. I'm going to try that next time!
It works for other veggies like broccoli, too. Thanks for stopping by, Leanne!!
Great techniques! Love the result.

Falke-ordenen (Falconiformes) er en gruppe rovfugle, der er udbredt i alle verdensdele på nær Antarktis. Tidligere var alle dagaktive rovfugle samlet i denne orden, men nyere undersøgelser af fuglenes slægtskab har vist, at kun falkefamilien, der omfatter falke og caracaraer, bør medtages. Falke-ordenen tæller cirka 65 arter. De øvrige dagaktive rovfugle er placeret i ordenen Accipitriformes.

Accipitriformes blev indimellem anvendt som synonym for Falconiformes, da ordenen indeholdt alle dagaktive rovfugle.

Systematik
Falconiformes har i mange år omfattet alle dagaktive rovfugle, herunder ørne, glenter, høge, våger og gribbe. Undersøgelser af fuglenes DNA i 2008 tyder på, at falke og caracaraer ikke er nært beslægtede med resten af rovfuglene, men snarere med papegøjer og spurvefugle. Dette er tilsyneladende blevet bekræftet i senere undersøgelser . Af denne grund blev ordenen splittet op, og da Falconiformes havde sit navn efter falke-slægten Falcon, var det falkene, som forblev i denne orden, mens flertallet af rovfuglene blev flyttet til den nye orden Accipitriformes. Denne opdeling er dog ikke anerkendt af alle, da DNA-resultaterne måske kan tolkes på flere måder.

Falke-ordenen består altså kun af falkefamilien (Falconidae). Nedenfor ses et udsnit af arterne:
 Caracara
 Lannerfalk
 Mauritiustårnfalk
 Afrikansk pygmæfalk
 Slagfalk
 Tårnfalk
 Vandrefalk

Når betegnelsen Falconiformes bruges i sin oprindelige betydning, dækker den som regel alle dagaktive rovfugle, dvs. følgende fem familier:
 Falkefamilien (Falconidae)
 Fiskeørne (Pandionidae)
 Sekretærfugle (Sagittariidae)
 Vestgribbe (Cathartidae)
 Høgefamilien (Accipitridae): ørne, glenter, høge, våger og den gamle verdens gribbe
