One of the earlier Konami games, released in 1983, the year in which MSX was introduced. A port of their own Arcade game from 1981.
TAS strategy
The trick in TASing this game is to find the most efficient routes to the destination points at the top. This may look easy, but it isn't! There are many different possibilities.
A particular trick I discovered is that the Frog can jump faster if the jump-key is alternated with some other key. That helped to jump as fast as it does now.
The run is only of the first five stages, because the game doesn't really change anymore after stage 5. You can check this video to see what I mean: http://youtu.be/WtLlNNIMDfQ I'm posting this because at first I thought it repeated after stage 3 (hence a canceled entry for that), but I discovered I was wrong. More info below.
Stage 1 is fairly simple (and looks thus very optimized). Not much to comment. But in stage 2 there are more trucks on the road, making it a bit tougher to cross it efficiently (trucks are long and are thus easier blocking the way). In stage 3 it becomes even worse to optimize a crossing: there's a deadly snake in the middle part and there are crocodiles at the end. You can walk on the crocodiles, but not on their heads when the mouth is open. Stage 4 is kind of more of the same, but stage 5 is hell. It only features a single crocodile at the end of the crossing.
Notes on the run
You can really notice from stage 3 onwards that there are some pauses and there is some waiting. I've tried my utmost for alternative routes to reduce this waiting, but I couldn't get it more optimized than what I have now. This particular run shows some nice very close shaves and manages to distribute the waiting over several crossings, making it not too boring to watch. In an earlier attempt almost all waiting was in the last crossing, which looked bad and was in the end also not optimal (0.8 seconds slower). So, without having tried all permutations (there would be hundreds or thousands), I do think this is very hard (if not impossible, but I can't be 100% sure of course) to improve.
Stage 5 deserves an explanation. Obviously, in this stage I had to make sure to use the single crocodile as efficiently as possible. For the very last crossing you see that I just miss the last jump (I also tried other routes, but it's simply not possible to make the jump there). So, it looks extremely annoying, but I think this is really optimal. To compensate I do some funny moves for your entertainment before the croc is back at the last destination...
The game has more features than visible in this video: there's a lady frog on one of the drifting trees (appears after a while). However, the game is played at such pace, that only for that very last crossing at the end of stage 5 the lady frog becomes visible. This particular port does not seem to feature the bonus fly and crocodile in the destinations.
Enjoy the run!

Lifestyle Opinion
'The second Harry Potter movie is the best and you can't convince me otherwise'
I was reminded of all the reasons I think it's the best out of the eight movies
Chloe Clarke
Every Christmas I look forward to a Harry Potter marathon and this year was no exception.
When watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I was reminded of all the reasons I think it's the best one in the franchise.
While some movies are more cinematic (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) or more nostalgic (Philosopher's Stone) nothing beats the plot and the humour of the second movie.
READ MORE: When are Home Alone, Die Hard, Love Actually on this Christmas? Channels, dates and times
It perfectly mixes both the mystery and the comedic moments together to create a nostalgic yet timeless film.
Some Harry Potter scenes were filmed in Surrey and the imagined town Little Whinging is also based in our county. Actor Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, was born in Epsom.
Here's a list of all the reasons why I think the second Harry Potter movie is the best one.
It's the second and last film in the series directed by Chris Columbus
Being the second one that's directed by Mr Columbus, you get to see the characters develop in the way that the original director of the franchise saw the characters.
One of the most notable character changes in the movie is Hermione Granger.
We see her transform from a teacher's pet to someone who isn't afraid of breaking the rules to help her friends or to do what's right.
The quotes
Some of the most quotable lines are from the script in the second movie.
Here are some of my favourites:
"I'll be in my room, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist."
"What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?"
"Diagonally!"
"Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself."
"I don't like spiders."
The howler
Who can forget one of the most iconic scenes from the franchise?
Molly Weasley's howler - a magical letter that can talk - is one of the most memorable moments in all eight movies.
Her character sends a letter that screams at Ron Weasley (Harry's best friend) for flying his father's Ford Anglia to Hogwarts when they missed the train.
The ghosts
Ghosts just seem to disappear from the later movies, but in Chris Columbus' Harry Potter we get to see all the magical elements of the Wizarding World.
Moaning Myrtle is one of the main comedic characters in the film.
It's moments like her scenes where the mystery of the plot and the humour from the script blend seamlessly together.
However, ghosts also add to the mystery, as Nearly Headless Nick is petrified by the Basilisk snake that roams the school.
Of course, a fan favourite character is Dobby the House Elf.
Dobby's efforts to prevent Harry from going to school in his final year due to the strange things happening at Hogwarts also offer some of the comedic value in an otherwise dark film.
Overall, as well as these things, I believe the second Harry Potter is the film that has the most mystery behind it.
Is the Chamber of Secrets real? Who is the heir of Slytherin? Who is petrifying all of the Hogwarts students? Who is behind the voices Harry keeps hearing?
There are so many different questions that need to be unravelled in the film, meaning that it never gets boring even though it's over two hours long.

With big hearts and a strong sense of humor, deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff's Department hit the streets of communities they serve with surprise hams for residents.
"Operation Pig Out" was made possible by Dr. Frank Patino who purchased the 300 hams. Sheriff Mike Bouchard was happy to get his team on board.
Uniformed deputies from Addison Township including the Village of Leonard, Brandon Township including the Village of Ortonville, Commerce Township, Highland Township, Independence Township including the City of the Village of Clarkston, Lyon Township, Orion Township, Oxford Township, Oakland Township, the City of Pontiac, the City of Rochester Hills, and Springfield Township approached residents in their neighborhoods an surprised them with the delicious gift.


Lloyd had choir practice on Friday night, and I had a long list of things to get done, so of course I did none of them. I made something to eat, watched some t.v., and decided to finally put into practice a plan I've had for a split bed.
As you know, I've been sleeping at an angle (for the acid reflux trouble) since… Christmas? and I have to tell you, it's not that bad having a whole bed to yourself. I love Lloyd and everything, but when we're all together the cats sleep with me and it gets kinda crowded on my side. However, since the current situation was starting to feel more like we were housemates than spouses, I think I have a prototype.
These are the twin beds in the downstairs guest room. Mine is propped up at an with concrete blocks, and Lloyd's is flat, but has some 2×4 pieces under the legs so that my incline isn't so noticeable. (My diagram makes it look like the head of his bed is on a block, too. It isn't – I goofed up the drawing.) It took nearly an hour and a half of finagling to get them just right, and I ripped my shirt crawling around underneath, but I'm pleased with the result. The best part? I'm back in a room with a t.v.! The downside? I messed up – I'm supposed to be on the left. I'm not fixing it.
One word: Craftmatic. Or is that two? Being a belly sleeper, I always wondered who would buy a bed where you sat up while you slept. Now I know.
That Craftmatic has the same problems as the wedge -- bad for side sleepers (and stomach sleepers). I think the people from Cirque de Soleil would like it, though.
So will you be moving permanently to the main floor bedroom and close off your upstairs entirely? Except for when Brad visits, of course.
If you do close off the upstairs, perhaps you could put a murphy bed for me in the living room. It's the perfect excuse to get one! …or build a prototype, as the case may be.
And just think of all the heat you would save if you do that!!
My father-in-law has a murphy bed in the house he grew up in in Italy; the house is like a thousand years old; it's really just a one room house…Lil Joe slept in that bed & hated it…he said he could feel the ghosts watching him all night.
He refused to sleep there a 2nd night.
Wow… that's a lot of work! Any chance you'll just set that up in your bedroom and then throw the comforter over it to cover it up? Because your bedroom is so cool!
Brad, there's enough space in that room we'll just put another twin bed in there. It'll be like camp!
Truthfully, I don't see this (these beds in this room) as a permanent solution, mostly because the bases are old bunk beds that have those wonky S-springs and are way, way too cushy. I need a firmer mattress support than these.
I can fix all of that for you for, say, $1,000.
That's what plywood is for.

The wild camel had adapted and managed to survive in north-west China's Xinjiang Province in the Gashun Gobi Desert and the Desert of Lop. For 45 years these two deserts were the Chinese nuclear test site. In spite of this, the wild camel not only survived the effects of radiation but also bred naturally. In some areas in the absence of fresh water, it adapted to drinking salt water, which had a higher saline content than sea water. Domestic Bactrian camels cannot tolerate such a high level of salt. Research to date does not show conclusively how the wild camel is absorbing the salt water and secreting the salt.
The gene pool of the wild camels, because of their isolation and lack of interbreeding with domestic Bactrian camels, has much greater diversity and a wider range of adaptability and capacity for random mutations. This gene pool contains rich source materials for a number of scientific studies.
Samples of skin taken from the remains of dead wild camels in China and Mongolia have been sent to scientists at the Institute of Population Genetics, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna for genetic DNA testing. The results have been remarkable. Each skin sample has shown two or three distinct genetic differences to the domestic Bactrian camel and a 3% base difference. It is these remnant herds in both China and Mongolia that the Wild Camel Protection Foundation is striving to save. In China, by establishing with Chinese government support, the Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve and in Mongolia with the establishment of a captive wild camel breeding programme.
For years critics have alleged the wild camel was only a Silk Road runaway – a feral camel. Now what WCPF has been saying since 1993 has proved to be correct. Their discovery is based on genetic tests carried out on hair and skin samples that WCPF has sent from both the Mongolian and Chinese deserts where the wild camel has its habitat. The separation is thought to have taken place over 700,000 years ago.

Q: How to find the value if it is exist in the table? I created a SQL table called stock. In that table are the fields itemcode & netweight. How can I get a message like "The Stock is Not Available" if the netweight field is zero for a particular item code?

A: That shouldn't be a database concern in the first place; the database's job is to store (wait for it) data. So the appropriate query is just:
select netweight from stock where itemcode = @itemcode

then it is a UI concern to do something like (for example)
someControl.Text = netweight > 0 ? netweight.ToString()
                                 : "The Stock is Not Available";

However, if you must do it at the database, case:
select case when netweight > 0 then convert(varchar(10), netweight)
            else 'The Stock is Not Available' end as [netweight]
from stock where itemcode = @itemcode

A: select 'The Stock is Not Available'
from stock
where netweight = 0 and 'YOUR CONDITION'

This is what you can use in your stored procedure.
Please give more information about table and what you need to do if you want in detail..

    let itemSelecionado = e.options[e.selectedIndex].text;
    let textArea = document.getElementById("exampleFormControlTextarea1");
    textArea.innerHTML = itemSelecionado

A: Algumas coisas erradas:

*

*let divs = document.querySelector('[divs]') retorna o primeiro elemento, deves usar querySelectorAll e iterar com um forEach

*O onclick no elemento option não faz o que procuras, deves usar o onchange no select

*e.selectedIndex = "0" é uma atribuição, não uma comparação como pretendes...

A minha sugestão:

const select = document.getElementById('exampleFormControlSelect1');
const textarea = document.getElementById('exampleFormControlTextarea1');
const divs = document.querySelectorAll('[divs]');

function eventoClick() {
  const selectedIndex = select.selectedIndex - 1;
  divs.forEach((el, i) => el.classList.toggle("hide", i !== selectedIndex));
  textarea.innerHTML = getSelectText(select);
}

function getSelectText(selectElement) {
  // a ideia de usar -1 aqui é só para o caso de ser `0`o código não ir buscar o texto do
  // option e considerar como "não selecionável". Uma alternativa seria mascá-lo como "disabled"
  const selectedIndex = selectElement.selectedIndex || -1;
  const selectedOption = selectElement.options[selectedIndex];
  return selectedOption ? selectedOption.text : '';

Weeds are plants out of place. A plant may be desirable in one situation and a weed in another. For example, creeping bentgrass plants can invade a Kentucky bluegrass lawn and cause unsightly patches. On a golf green, however, creeping bentgrass is highly desirable as the predominant plant.
Weeds detract from the beauty of lawns due to the contrast in color and texture between the desired grass plants and the weeds. In addition, weeds compete with the desired grass plants for available water and nutrients, usually resulting in thinning of desirable plant cover.
This herbicide is a ready-to-use solvent-based non-selective weed killer.
It contains two active ingredients (hence the name Double Kill): Bromacil, which controls weeds through root contact and gives season-long residual control, and 2-4-D which controls weeds through foliage and gives immediate weed burn-down. This weed killer is particularly effective in areas where undesirable vegetation is tall and well established.
♦ May be used to kill most weeds and grasses on parking lots, fence rows, loading ramps, railroad sidings, storage yards, around buildings and industrial plant sites.
♦ Control annual weeds and grasses such as foxtail, ryegrass, wild oats, crabgrass, cheatgrass, broomsedge, ragweed, lambsquarter and trukey mullein.
♦ Also, for other hard-to-kill perennial weeds and grasses, such as Johnsongrass, saltgrass, bouncing bet, bracken fem and horsetail.
Prevents Plant Growth in unwanted areas up to One Year!
For total weed control on certain areas around the business or workplace where no plant growth is desire. Controls birchweed, and other Hard - to - Kill Weeds.


Burns are one of the most preventable injuries around, yet they are the 5th leading cause of accidental death in the United States, claiming nearly 3,500 lives each year. In the past three decades, great strides have been made in reducing burn injuries. This is due to a number of factors, including better education surrounding burn prevention and fire safety. Young children are especially susceptible to burns, so it is extremely important to let them know the dangers surrounding burns and fire. The leading cause of burns in children is scalding.
It is important to supervise your children, especially in the kitchen and bathroom where the majority of these scaldings happen. Hot water heaters are now manufactured to run at lower temperatures than in the past, which has helped reduce the number of scaldings each year. In addition, the federal government now regulates the flammability of children's toys further reducing incidents of burns. A more widespread use of smoke alarms is another factor in the lowering of burn injuries each year. The alarms give people a chance to prevent and escape fires and smoke. Other factors that have helped reduce the number of burn related injuries in the past 30 years include, better safety precautions in the workplace, a decrease in the number of people smoking cigarettes, and a reduction in the use of open fires for home heating. While we are pushing forward in burn prevention there is still much work to be done in preventing these devastating injuries. This article will look at the impacts burns have on people and some tips for how to keep you and your family safe.
Ask anyone who has suffered from a serious burn, and they will tell you, it's one of the most painful things they've ever experienced. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are treated for burns in the United States. While the majority of medically treated burns are nonfatal, there are still several thousand deaths each year from burns and smoke inhalation. Burn survivors face both physical and emotional pain during their recovery. Burns are broken down into three categories; first degree burns, second degree burns, and third degree burns. In this rating system first degree burns are the most mild and usually heal quickly, while third degree burns are the most severe and almost always require medical attention.
No two people heal from their burns the same way. Physical symptoms such as chronic and neuropathic pain can develop while recovering from burns. These forms of pain can last for months and even years after the worst of the wounds are healed. Emotional pain caused by burns can take just as long to heal. Research suggests that immediately after their injury about 90% of survivors show some symptom of stress disorder and around 30% of burn victims develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (Ptsd). Symptoms from PTSD can include nightmares, flashbacks to the event, anxiety and depression. Often these symptoms will show up months after the initial burn and can be lessened by various forms of therapy.
One of the best things to do if you or someone you love is suffering from a burn is to find support. Organizations such as the Phoenix Society can help burn survivors and their families navigate the complex issues surrounding burn recovery. Support is important in helping burn survivors deal with the both the emotional and physical pain associated with their recovery. Having people to talk to who understand what they are going through can greatly benefit those recovering from burns. In addition, the families of those dealing with burns can also benefit from talking to other people who have gone through what they are going through. Talking to others may help families better understand how to care for and support their loved one and help lessen their own stress and anxiety surrounding the situation. The Phoenix Society not only offers a support network for burn survivors, but also offers a number of online resources about burn prevention.
The American Burn Association estimates that 73% of burns happen at home. It is important to feel comfortable and safe at home. Many of us spend more time at home than anywhere else. Therefore, in order to keep ourselves, our family, and our friends safe from burns, we must ensure our homes have appropriate burn prevention measures in place.
The majority of burn injuries are caused by fire or scalding. These types of burns can be greatly reduced if you have a properly working smoke alarms to alert you of fire or smoke. It is important to make sure that your smoke alarms are functioning properly and that they have fresh batteries. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends putting at least one smoke alarm on each floor of your house. They go on to further recommend putting smoke alarms in and outside of bedrooms, as closed doors often stop the spread of smoke and could keep an alarm from going off. The NFPA also recommends changing the smoke alarms in your home every 10 years.
Another common cause of fires at home are malfunctioning appliances such as water heaters, space heaters, and drying machines. With water heaters one of the main concerns comes from the potential of the pilot light igniting the vapors from flammable liquids. For example, a can of paint thinner is spilled in the basement close to the water heater, the vapors coming off of this spill are flammable, they reach the pilot light on the water heater and suddenly there is a flash of fire and anyone standing near can be severely burned. To prevent this kind of accident, it is important to keep all flammable liquids away from your water heater. In addition, your water heater should always be elevated, especially if it is in the garage. If your water heater is in your garage and not elevated, there is a good chance that it is in violation of building codes.
Space heaters are another common appliance that may cause fires. If you are using a space heater make sure it is away from your bed and walls. Make sure that you don't leave it on while you aren't home and make sure nothing is leaning against it.
Drying machines also present a fire hazard and therefore also a burn hazard. Always use a lint filter when using a drying machine and make sure that the lint from the filter is cleaned out before each use. It is also important to make sure that the back of the dryer is properly attached to the wall, as this is another common cause of fire.
Kitchens are the source of many home fires. Never leave your stove or oven unattended while you are cooking. If you have to leave make sure you get someone to watch the stove for you. Grease fires are very common in the kitchen. If you are heating oil, never cover it. When you remove the lid there is a chance the oil may catch fire. In the case that a grease fire does breakout never pour water on it. This will not put the flame out and can act to splatter and spread the flame. Smothering the flame with flour or baking soda is your best bet.
When baking be especially aware of what you are doing and never forget about what you have in the oven. It is also important to regularly clean your oven in order to prevent grease buildups that can catch on fire.
Barbecues are another serious fire hazard. Make sure that your barbecue is away from the house and trees. If you are using a propane grill, be sure that you have a properly functioning propane tank. Again it is important to regularly clean your barbecue to prevent buildup of flammable grease.
More house fires breakout in the bedroom than any other room in the house. Cigarette butts that are not properly put out can stay lit long after they are discarded. If these embers come into contact with any flammable material such as fabric or paper they may cause a fire. While cigarette companies have recently begun putting flame retardants in some cigarettes, an overflowing ashtray is still a risk. It is good practice to keep smoking outside and to properly dispose of cigarette butts in a way that ensures they are out.
Children are particularly susceptible to burns. The most common burns suffered by children are scalding burns either from hot water taps being too hot, or from tipping over scalding liquids in the kitchen. Another common cause of burns in children is burns caused by coming into contact with hot objects, such as pans that have been sitting on the stove. Careful child supervision can help prevent burns. It is especially important not to leave children unsupervised in the bathroom and kitchen. Another important preventive measure is to keep matches and lighters away from children and to educate them on dangers associated with these objects. Fireworks should also be kept away from children. Teaching children to stop, drop, and roll can help limit the risk of burns. Making sure your child knows their address and how to dial 911 can help make a difference in preventing burn injuries.

Q: Reformat an array of objects to an array of key'd arrays So I am kind of new to Javascript but I am trying to reformat the startArray into the endArray. The startArray is basically an array of order objects, which will always have different orderId's but can have the same companyId. I basically am trying to switch it so it's based on company, and so that for each companyId, there is an array of all of that companies orders. I have been tinkering and trying to figure this out, but to be honest I'm not sure where to start, or if this manipulation is even possible.
I am working out of Google Apps Scripts, which I think is still on ES5 syntax, and I would prefer to stick to vanilla javascript if at all possible.
var startArray = [
    {"companyId" : 1,
     "orderId" : 25,
     "product" : "productA"
     "quantity" : 2,
     "price" : 10,
    },
    {"companyId" : 1,
     "orderId" : 20,
     "product" : "productB"
     "quantity" : 3,
     "price" : 5,
    },
   {"companyId" : 2,
     "orderId" : 15,
     "product" : "productA"
     "quantity" : 5,
     "price" : 10,
    }
 ]

 var endArray = [ {
      '1' = [{"orderId" : 25,
         "product" : "productA"
         "quantity" : 2,
         "price" : 10,},
         {"orderId" : 20,
          "product" : "productB"
          "quantity" : 3,
          "price" : 5,}
      },{
     '2' = [{"orderId" : 15,
          "product" : "productA"
          "quantity" : 5,
          "price" : 10,
         }]
   }]

 ]

A: If you are fine with result being object and not array, this should do the job:

var startArray = [
    {"companyId" : 1,
     "orderId" : 25,
     "product" : "productA",
     "quantity" : 2,
     "price" : 10,
    },
    {"companyId" : 1,
     "orderId" : 20,
     "product" : "productB",
     "quantity" : 3,
     "price" : 5,
    },
   {"companyId" : 2,
     "orderId" : 15,
     "product" : "productA",
     "quantity" : 5,
     "price" : 10,
    }
 ];

var ret = {}

startArray.forEach(company => {
  if (!ret[company.companyId]) {
    ret[company.companyId] = [];
  }

  ret[company.companyId].push(company);
});

console.log(ret);

If you do not have ES6 support, just use classic for in cycle instead of forEach.

A: Use something like reduce to create a new object, inserting an array as the key of the companyId if it doesn't exist already:

function reduce(arr, callback, initialVal) {
  var accumulator = (initialVal === undefined) ? undefined : initialVal;
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    if (accumulator !== undefined)
      accumulator = callback.call(undefined, accumulator, arr[i], i, this);
    else
      accumulator = arr[i];
  }
  return accumulator;
}

var startArray = [
  {"companyId" : 1,
   "orderId" : 25,
   "product" : "productA",
   "quantity" : 2,
   "price" : 10,
  },
  {"companyId" : 1,
   "orderId" : 20,
   "product" : "productB",
   "quantity" : 3,
   "price" : 5,
  },
  {"companyId" : 2,
   "orderId" : 15,
   "product" : "productA",
   "quantity" : 5,
   "price" : 10,
  }
];

var endObj = reduce(startArray, function (accum, item) {
  var companyId = item.companyId;
  if (!accum[companyId]) accum[companyId] = [];
  delete item.companyId;
  accum[companyId].push(item);
  return accum;
}, {});
console.log(endObj);


A sampling of Banditos' menu includes a variety of taco salad selections, street corn and flights of tequila.
The proliferation of Mexican and Tex-Mex fusion restaurants in the area should tell you one thing—we love our Mexican food. And we're not afraid to enjoy it, along with top-shelf tequila, in an upscale, urban-friendly venue. The all-new Banditos Cantina, which opened in September on the oceanfront along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, fits this new model and does so with a flare and spicy splash.
As part of the three-story, multi-restaurant building aptly called "The Blvd," Banditos has been enjoying its resurrection since the original restaurant was razed several years ago. The Blvd building also houses Tin Roof, Burger-Fi, Starbucks, The General Store and another restaurant, as of yet unnamed.
It features ample indoor/outdoor seating, a large and stylish bar and spectacular views of the ocean. Those who may remember the original will not recognize any of the "new" Banditos, save its name and its general manager, Danny Gorman, who was part of the first incarnation and is the only remaining face of the original. Gorman and the new owners have big plans for Banditos' first summer in Myrtle Beach.
As for the food, Banditos offers up classics with a twist. Short rib tacos, house-made guacamole, street corn and seven additional starters range from $3.50–$9. Taco salads with certified organic greens in six varieties ($5.50–$12), burgers, burritos, Bandito Bowls and full dinner entrees, including steak, seafood and chicken ($19– $36), round out the extensive menu. But where Banditos really shines is in its tequila selection.
"We carry the best tequilas available," says Gorman, "and make sure they're made with 100 percent agave. The ingredients in the cheaper stuff are where your hangovers come from." From brands you already know and love to fine ultra premium three-plus-year aged tequila, there's a sip, a shot or a margarita for every taste and budget. Banditos serves flights of tequila, three shots per flight, as a way to familiarize and compare the best ($15–$40).
Hours: Open daily from 11 a.m.–2 a.m.

Nothing says 1980s L.A. like The Go-Go's on the radio. Those sweet, bright, infectious songs were the perfect soundtrack for a sunny day—still are, though 30 years have passed since one of rock 'n' roll's first all-female bands released their debut album, Beauty and the Beat. The Go-Go's formed in the midst of L.A.'s late-'70s punk scene. None of the founding members—Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin and Margot Olaverra—were professional musicians. They were friends who bonded over shows by bands like The Germs and The Dickies.

Nothing says 1980s L.A. like The Go-Go's on the radio. Those sweet, bright, infectious songs were the perfect soundtrack for a sunny day—still are, though 30 years have passed since one of rock 'n' roll's first all-female bands released their debut album, Beauty and the Beat.
The Go-Go's formed in the midst of L.A.'s late-'70s punk scene. None of the founding members—Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin and Margot Olaverra—were professional musicians. They were friends who bonded over shows by bands like The Germs and The Dickies.
Batman fan Jane Wiedlin pals around with engineer/co-producer Rob Freeman and, clockwise from top, Belinda Carlisle, Kathy Valentine, Charlotte Caffey and Gina Schock in Soundmixers Studios.
They had nowhere to go but up, and the punk scene was all about D.I.Y. The group kept at their instruments and began writing songs together. They invited bass player Charlotte Caffey to join their group, but they wanted her to play lead guitar, so she spent a week learning to play guitar. The band started gigging at clubs like The Masque and The Whisky A Go Go. English ska group Madness invited them to open on a tour of the UK, where they cut an EP for Stiff Records.
As success began to build for The Go-Go's, differences between the bandmembers became problematic. Carlisle relates in her memoir that Bello was unreliable, and was replaced by Gina Schock. Olaverra became disgruntled as the band's sound became less hard-core and more pop; unwilling to lose momentum in the direction that was working for them, The Go-Go's replaced Olaverra with bassist Kathy Valentine.
The Go-Go's had been playing out for more than a year at that point, and they had a full slate of great material written for the album, including "We Got the Beat," which had been included on the Stiff EP, and "Our Lips Are Sealed," written by Wiedlin with Specials lead singer Terry Hall. The musicians had developed a romance/friendship during The Go-Go's UK tour, but Hall was not single at the time.
In the tracking room, Freeman placed Schock's drums close to the control room glass to take advantage of the bright acoustic reflections there, and baffled off the guitar and bass amps. Carlisle was confined to a vocal booth to deliver scratch vocals.
"The guitar amps were baffled on three sides, providing plenty of isolation, but open enough to allow their sound to bounce off the walls and into the ambient drum mics," explains Freeman. "The main guitar sounds were captured with a dynamic mic placed close on each amp, and a condenser mic back a few feet. They sounded great, but when you brought up the ambient drum mics, which contained plenty of guitar leakage, that really opened things up nicely.
For the bass sound, Freeman built a tunnel-like enclosure around Valentine's amp and placed a large-diaphragm mic a couple of feet from the cabinet. He also took a DI, giving Freeman the opportunity to use one source or the other, or combine the two.
During tracking, Freeman says he employed only a touch of compression—via Teletronix LA-2As and/or UREI 1176s—as he preferred to keep things as dynamic as possible, and very little or no EQ, saving both for the final mix.
Though Freeman would have been happy to take the project from start to finish at Pennylane, studio scheduling conflicts forced the group to move to the multiroom Soundmixers Studios after a couple of weeks.
After several days at Soundmixers, they decamped again, this time moving to Record Plant Studio B, where a full day was devoted to final overdubs for "Our Lips Are Sealed": shakers, tambourines, handclaps, keyboard touches.
At the end of that day, Freeman worked up a quick mix of the song on the API console. "It was around 2 in the morning, and we were just ending the session and the mix was feeling really good," he says. "So I decided to knock off a rough mix. I liked the pass, but felt something was a little off toward the end of it, so I said, 'Let's roll back and try one more.' I did a second pass, then cut the front half of the first mix together with the second half of the second mix, making a razor blade edit at the bridge, the 'Hush my darling' part. That 'rough' mix became the hit single! It was done in 10 minutes—two mixes and the edit.
"Our Lips Are Sealed" became a Top 10 single on a double-Platinum album—a great success for Freeman, whose career also included working with Twisted Sister, KISS and ABBA, as well as The Ramones, Blondie and many more. He eventually shifted his focus toward sound-for-picture work, becoming a production sound mixer for films, documentaries, commercials and TV shows. At press time, he was busy mixing on A&E's series The Glades.
The Go-Go's, of course, became pop-punk superstars; they've disbanded and re-formed a few times over the years, but are now on tour, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Beauty and the Beat.

Houston is the 4th largest city within the United States, with about 2,2 million residents and over 596 square miles of land. It is named after Sam Houston, the first president of the Republic of Texas after leading the Texas army to win the war of independence against Mexico in 1836. Houston grew to the largest city within the great state of Texas, a very proud southern state in the United States. The city is commonly referred as Bayou City by locals due to the large bayou running through the city's center. Houston is located approximately 30-35 miles north from the coastal city of Galveston and 180 miles south of Dallas/Ft.Worth.
Houston has a vibrant economy with the Port of Houston, one of the largest in the world and an important component to the city's economic make up as it is a focal point of domestic and international trade, and a strong energy industry with an abundance companies tied to oil and gas. Houston also houses the Texas Medical Center which is the largest medical complex in the world with world-class hospitals and the NASA Johnson Space Center, which gives Houston its second nickname of space city.
Houston offers great arts with the Museum and Theatre Districts, is home to major professional sports teams with state-of-the-art complexes such as the Reliant Stadium for football and Minute Maid Park for baseball and attractions such as the yearly Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo which takes place for several weeks. It also has the world's largest underground tunnel which is 7 miles long and located downtown with shops and restaurants.
The city is a melting pot and considered to be extremely multi-cultural with a diverse residential population who speak over 90 languages. The current ethnic breakdown of the city is 49% Caucasian, 38% Hispanic, 25% African American and 5% Asian. Due to its cultural make-up with constant newcomers to the city, Houstonians are very friendly to foreigners and expats. It is easy to feel welcomed. There are many networking and social events that make it easy to get connections, to become acquainted and later become good friends with other expats.
Compared to other cities, Houston has an attractive cost of living and allows a standard of living that is only achieved with a much higher income elsewhere. The thriving economic state of this metro city and the long summers with mild winters and pleasant spring and fall also attract many new residents. Houston is constantly growing and expected to reach a population of about 4 million by the year 2025, with many areas expanding in the western part of Houston and density increasing within the city limits.

Hands-on with the Asus 3D laptop
Earlier this week, Asus unveiled a 15-inch laptop with Nvidia's 3D Vision technology built in. We've just had a chance to take the $1,699 Asus G51J 3D for a test drive, and came away largely impressed with the results.

Earlier this week, Asus unveiled a 15-inch laptop with Nvidia's 3D Vision technology built in. The $1,699 Asus G51J 3D has a 120Hz LCD panel, an Intel Core i7 CPU, and a high-end Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M GPU, and comes bundled with a pair of Nvidia's active glasses and the USB-powered IR emitter required to make the glasses work.
We've just had a chance to take the system for a test drive, and came away largely impressed with the results, especially compared with Acer's Aspire 5738DG, a 3D laptop that uses a pair of passive polarized glasses and a special screen coating to create a 3D effect.
That Acer model was unfortunately underpowered for gaming, especially with the added overhead of running its 3D software in the background. The Asus G51J, on the other hand, with a high-end processor and video card, seemed well-suited for mid-to-high-end gaming. Of course, it lacked dual SLI video cards and the 1,366x768 15-inch display is no match for some of the nicer 17-inch 1080p displays we've seen.

While playing Left 4 Dead 2, the 3D effects appeared crisp and appealing, and didn't seem to distract from the speed of gameplay or the screen brightness. There appeared to be no real hardware burden in generating the 3D in terms of frame rate or graphics detail, either. On the other hand, the 15-inch screen is a little small as compared to a nice big gaming monitor, and that mitigated the overall immersion of the 3D effects.
The bigger problem is that 3D gaming is still a novelty. It's not actually needed to appreciate any game at this point, and it has an expensive and often clunky set-up for users to navigate through.
Many people haven't even seen 3D of the caliber that Nvidia is currently offering, and so they have no idea how smooth and crisp it is compared to the fuzzy double-vision experience of years past. What's particularly great about Asus' solution is that it's already integrated into a reasonably priced Core i7 gaming laptop, so the set-up and research into compatible hardware components is almost entirely eliminated.
This is an interesting trend to watch for in gaming laptops, and it should be included in more Core i7 laptops aimed at gamers, especially if Nvidia is serious about getting a larger adoption. We expect to see more 3D Vision capable laptops from major PC makers by early next year.

Democrats debate Mueller strategy as findings loom
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Democrats are plotting strategy as they await the conclusions of Robert Mueller's now-completed Russia investigation, with senior lawmakers demanding full transparency and preparing for next steps if the results are favorable to President Donald Trump.
House Democrats planned meetings by phone on Saturday to share what they know about the probe and to discuss how to move forward. It was unclear how soon they will have more information from Attorney General William Barr, who received the report from Mueller on Friday and has notified Congress that he intends to share its "principal conclusions" soon, potentially over the weekend.
The conclusion of Mueller's probe comes as House Democrats have launched several of their own wide-ranging investigations into Trump and his personal and political dealings. And no matter what Mueller concludes, they say there is much more investigating to do.
"It's the end of the beginning but it's not the beginning of the end," said Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, a Democratic member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, echoing his party's strategy moving forward.
In a Saturday conference call, Coons also issued a warning for his fellow Democrats, many of whom have pinned astronomical political hopes on Mueller's findings: "Once we get the principal conclusions of the report, I think it's entirely possible that that will be a good day for the president and his core supporters."
As they waited for more information, House Democrats planned two phone calls. Democrats on the Judiciary Committee planned to talk on Saturday at 2 p.m., before a separate call open to all congressional Democrats at 3 p.m.
Coons said he expected to be briefed by the leaders of the Senate Judiciary panel once they had seen what Barr sends, but he did not know when that would be.
Democrats have said they have to see the full report from Mueller, including underlying evidence, before they can assess it. Those demands for information are setting up a potential tug of war between Congress and the Trump administration that federal judges might eventually have to referee.
Six Democratic committee chairmen wrote in a letter to Barr on Friday that if Mueller has any reason to believe that Trump "has engaged in criminal or other serious misconduct," then the Justice Department should not conceal it.
"The president is not above the law and the need for public faith in our democratic institutions and the rule of law must be the priority," the chairmen wrote.
It's unclear what Mueller has found related to the president, or if any of it would be damning. In his investigation of whether Trump's campaign coordinated with Russia to sway the 2016 election, Mueller has already brought charges against 34 people, including six aides and advisers to the president, and three companies.
Lawmakers say they need that underlying evidence — including interviews, documents and material turned over to the grand jury — because the Justice Department has maintained that a president cannot be indicted, and also that derogatory information cannot be released about people who have not been charged. So if the investigation did find evidence incriminating Trump, they may not be able to release it, under their own guidelines.
The Democrats say it could be tantamount to a cover-up if the department did not let Congress and the public know what they found.
Barr testified at his confirmation hearings that he wants to release as much information as he can about the inquiry. But the department's regulations require only that the attorney general report to Congress that the investigation has concluded and describe or explain any times when he or Rosenstein decided an action Mueller proposed "was so inappropriate or unwarranted" that it should not be pursued. Barr said Friday there were no such instances where Mueller was thwarted.
But anything less than the full report won't be enough for Democrats.
"If the AG plays any games, we will subpoena the report, ask Mr. Mueller to testify, and take it all to court if necessary," said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y. "The people deserve to know."
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told CNN on Friday that he's willing to subpoena Mueller and Barr, if needed, to push for disclosure.
Though Trump himself has said the report should be made public, it's not clear whether the administration would fight subpoenas for testimony or block the transmission of grand jury material.
If the administration decides to fight, lawmakers could ask federal courts to step in and enforce a subpoena. A court fight could, in theory, reach the Supreme Court. But few tussles between Congress and the White House get that far. They often are resolved through negotiation.
In both the Clinton and Obama administrations, even when talks failed and courts got involved in assessing claims of executive privilege, the White House decided not to take the fight to the high court and complied with lower court rulings against it.
The Democrats, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, could also formally ask Mueller to send his committee evidence that could be used in possible impeachment proceedings against Trump, as suggested by Benjamin Wittes, a senior Brookings Institution fellow and editor-in-chief of the Lawfare blog.
That's the course one of Nadler's predecessors followed during Watergate, although an impeachment inquiry against President Richard Nixon had already started by that point. Grand jury material from special counsel Leon Jaworski, provided through the federal judge who presided over the Watergate trials, became the road map that the House committee used to vote for articles of impeachment. Nixon resigned before the full House acted on his impeachment.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said recently that she's not for impeaching Trump, at least for now.

WIRE Buzz: Creepshow drops new teaser; Jason Isaacs speaking Russian in Superman: Red Son
September 19, 2019, 4:00 PM ET
By Josh Weiss
Credit: Shudder
Nazis, magical monkey paws, Tobin Bell, and more monstrous entities collide in the latest teaser trailer for Greg Nicotero's reboot of Creepshow, which debuts on Shudder next week.
The new trailer plays up all of the great talent behind the anthology's stories like Stephen King, Joe Hill (King's son), Josh Malerman, and Joe R. Lansdale. There's also a ton of great talent in front of the camera: Adrienne Barbeau, Giancarlo Esposito, David Arquette, Tobin Bell, Tricia Helfer, Dana Gould, Kid Cudi, Big Boi, Jeffrey Combs, DJ Qualls, and Bruce Davison.
Watch the teaser below, but do be warned that it does contain some graphic imagery that may not be suitable for younger viewers...
"I watched the original Creepshow and I loved it," Esposito said during the show's panel at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. "We're able to take in the unknown and unexpected and be surprised … It takes us from one place to another."
"It's funny, it's deep, it's chilly, it's all [of those things] wrapped up in one," added Helfer.
Season 1 of Creepshow premieres on Shudder Thursday, Sep. 26. To see what critics are saying about the show, click here.
Following his villainous turn as the nefarious Skeksis Emperor in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Jason Isaacs will be lending his pipes to the role of Russian Superman in the animated film version of Superman: Red Son. Based on the iconic three-issue Elseworlds story by Mark Millar, the movie imagines what would have happened if Kal-El has crash-landed in Soviet Russia instead of Smallville, Kansas.
This is Isaacs' second Russian-centric role of the last two years after portraying Georgy Zhukov in Armando Iannucci's political satire, The Death of Stalin. In that film — one not so concerned with accent accuracy — he used his native English accent. For this DC film, we expect him to use an actual Russian accent to drive home the fact that Kal-El is concerned with fighting for truth, communism, and the proletariat way.

How articles work in the expression 'I would like to buy ..'
I am not sure how to use articles in the expression ** I would like to buy**. For e.g.
I would like to buy an ipad.
I would like to buy a box of chocolates.
I would like to buy a can of beer.
However If I want to use just the brandname itself, should I use any article, for e.g.
I would like to buy (any article?) Budweiser.
or In case of jeans/shoes, Obviously this works
I would like to buy a pair of shoes/jeans.
But what would be the construct if I drop a pair, does it make sense
I would like to buy jeans/shoes.
phrase-usage
DudeDude
Narrowly focusing on "I would like to buy" I think the problem is that this sounds so formal that we expect the rest of the sentence to be just as formal.
In a less-formal sentence, "Budweiser, please" or "I'm looking for jeans," it doesn't bother us when you leave out the article for a plural (or ambiguous) item. But when you say "I would like to buy . . ." I (at least) don't expect you to cut corners in the rest of the sentence. I expect "I would like to buy a bottle of Budweiser, if you please." Or "I would like to buy some jeans. Can you direct me?"
Greg HullenderGreg Hullender
It is safe to add the article, though you have to spend more time on uttering it. However, depending on context you can leave it out.
For example, if you go to the bar counter and say, without any introduction, "I would like to buy Budweiser" it would sound odd (but "I would like to buy beer" would be ok). But if the waitress asks you "Today we have Budweiser, Stella Artois and Pilsner at reduced price. Which one would you like?", you can answer safely "I would like Budweiser".
Now if you are in a shop that sells various types of clothing items and say "I would like to buy jeans/shoes." you would be understood. This is because the selection you made is already understood from context (the same as the brand example above).
Another important thing to note is that using the article, you show that you want one item, and not multiple ones. By "I would like shoes" you may mean that you want to buy multiple pairs of shoes, though perhaps statistically people more likely only buy one pair of shoes per visit.
Theta30Theta30
My intuition was correct. Here english.stackexchange.com/a/112015/5249 @Cerberus talks about the focusing function and counting function – Theta30 Sep 2 '13 at 7:26
Generally it doesn't matter that you're referring to a brand; you still want to use "a", so, "I would like to buy a Budweiser."
For the jeans/shoes, the way you stated is valid, but usually refers to a very general case. If you were actually in a shop, you'd probably use "some", as in, "I would like to buy some shoes." (This can still mean a single pair of shoes.)

Q: MS Reporting Service 2008 R2 - table awfully slow Using Reporting Service to render the result of an MDX Query the result is awfully slow (around 8-10 seconds). The MDX is fast, there is indeed some conditional rendering but 8 secons sounds like an awfull amount of time for a 60x10 Table.
We played with the Can Grow/Shrink but the slow performance is still there.
Does somebody had the same experience, the performance is a general SSRS problem or are we adding some 'feature' that is causing this bottleneck ?

A: More of a general answer. I have a few examples that decrease performance.

*

*Enabling CanGrow.

*Having formulas in tablixes, especially lookups.

*Groupings.

*Sorting.

It is highly recomended to use the query to order, group, summing, etc. basically any data manipulation.
Not really sure what you've got in your report.
Hope some of these help?

A: The problem was as pointed out in another answer, it was the canGrow. But it's a bit tricky. How we manage to solve the problem :
1) Use a browser debugger (F12 in IE) and profile the java script code. If the issue is a grow problem you'll see a method with with grow in the name taking almost all the time.
2) Better than editing all cell's properties replace in the rdl documents directly. In our case remove all'true' entries with a standard text editor (e.g Notepad++).
3) Recheck again, there could be still some cangrow that in our example are due to icons that are not so easy to remove but the improvement was massive.


Moon Hill (YueLiang Shan) lies a few kilometers outside YangShuo. Moon Hill is so named for a wide, semicircular hole through the hill; the remains of what was once a limestone cave. The arch is about 50 meters in height. With an elevation of 380 meters, the hill is 230 meters in relative height and 410 meters in length. It takes about 20 minutes to walk up to the arch; longer for those who wish to reach the hill's summit. There are over 800 marble stairs leading to the cave, though other more peaceful, but more rustic, routes are also available.

Q: Local repository with Git I would like to use Git in my local computer such that,
H:\Projects\projectname will be my server-like repository and I would like work by cloning this repo to C:\Users\xxx\AptanaProjects\projectname
How can I do that ?
Thanks

A: First you need to create a bare repository on H:. With git you usually name your bare repository with .git, so projectname.git in this case:
h:
cd \Projects\
mkdir projectname.git
cd projectname.git
git init --bare

When this is done you change to c to create your repository:
c:
cd \Users\xxx\AptanaProjects\projectname
git init
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"

After this you need to setup the bare repo on h: as the remote repository so you can push up the code you just commited to the repo on c:
git remote add origin H:\Projects\projectname.git
git push origin master

Now, someone else can clone from H: to get your changes, and their repos will automatically be setup with the repo on H: as their origin.

A: *

*Install Git if you haven't already

*With e.g. TortoiseGit, initialize a repository in H:\Projects\projectname ("Git create repository here" in the context menu)

*Clone that repository to your working directory, e.g. C:\Users\xxx\AptanaProjects\projectname ("Git Clone..." in the context menu)

*You're done.

Now when you work, commit in your working directory and then Git Push to send your changes to H:\ Projects.
I'm assuming you have a valid reason for having that projects directory and not just versioning your projects in the working directory?

A: Enter directory C:\Users\xxx\AptanaProjects\projectname and use:
git clone H:\Projects\projectname

or using file protocol file://

Q: CSS3 - Floating up on hover, rotating when clicked on (active) but keeping the image in the same place? Here is an example of what I mean:
JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/MWAJC/
As you can see, when you hover over the image, the image floats up, then when you click on it, the image goes back to its original position while rotating. I would like it so that the image rotates in the already 'floated' position. How would I go about this?

A: Multiple transformations can be applied to an element, so you can combine your 'float' and rotation transforms.
img:active {
    -moz-transform: translate(0,-1em) rotate(10deg);
    -o-transform: translate(0,-1em) rotate(10deg);
    -webkit-transform: translate(0,-1em) rotate(10deg);

The Western Grains Research Foundation recently announced a restructuring of its board, accepting the withdrawal of Viterra, as per its December 2007 notice to the members of the board.
In December 2007 Viterra notified the Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) that they would be withdrawing their name from the WGRF Board as they are no longer structured as a producer Board, and therefore were not eligible for membership under WGRF's Board guidelines.
At WGRF's Spring Board meeting in March the Board agreed to accept Viterra's withdrawal.
Prior to the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Agricore United merger that took place in March of 2007, both of these organizations were represented on the WGRF Board.
Today, WGRF is proud to be over-seen by a 16 member Board that is diverse and well rounded. The Board is made up of farmers each representing a different agricultural organization, from across all of the western Canadian provinces.
WGRF is a charitable non-profit organization that is farmer funded and directed. Set-up to fund research that directly benefits prairie farmers, the WGRF administers an Endowment Fund and the Wheat and Barley Check-off Funds, with annual research funding in the range of $4 to $5 million.
To date, the Endowment Fund has supported a wealth of innovation across Western Canada and provided more than $19 million in funding for over 200 projects across a number of different crop types. While the check-off funds have supported in part more than 55 new varieties of wheat and 25 varieties of barley, with new and improved varieties in the pipe-line.


What's Bitcoin and Can It Be a Good Investment?
Bitcoin (BTC) is a brand new type of digital money-with cryptographic keys- which is decentralized into a network of computers used by users and miners all over the world and isn't commanded by one organization or authorities. It's the first digital cryptocurrency that's got the people's interest and is taken by an increasing variety of retailers. Like other monies, users can use the digital money to purchase goods and services online along with in some real shops that take it as a kind of payment. Money dealers may also trade Bitcoins in Bitcoin exchanges.
There are several important differences between Bitcoin and conventional monies (e.g. U.S. dollar): Bitcoin doesn't have a centralized authority or clearing house (e.g. authorities, central bank, MasterCard or Visa network). The peer to peer payment network is handled by users and miners all over the world. The money is anonymously transferred directly between users through the web without going through a clearing house. What this means is that trade fees are considerably lower.
Bitcoin is created through an activity called "Bitcoin mining". Miners all over the world use mining applications and computers to solve complicated bitcoin algorithms and to approve Bitcoin trades. They have been given with trade fees and new Bitcoins created from solving Bitcoin algorithms.
There's a small number of Bitcoins in circulation. The problem to mine Bitcoins (solve algorithms) becomes more difficult as more Bitcoins are created, and the maximum sum in circulation is limited at 21 million. The limitation is not going to be reached until about the year 2140.
A public ledger called 'Blockchain' records all Bitcoin trades and reveals each Bitcoin owner's individual holdings. Anyone can get the public ledger to confirm trades.
This makes the digital money more transparent and foreseeable.
The digital money can be obtained through Bitcoin mining or Bitcoin exchanges.
The digital money is taken by a small quantity of merchants on the internet and in some brick-and-mortar retailers.
Bitcoins aren't guaranteed and aren't shielded by government agencies. If the secret keys are lost, the related Bitcoins cannot be regained and would be out of circulation.
BTC – So what is it all about?

Q: Trying to compare two listviews and output into a new listview in c# So I am trying to compare two list views, which contain services before an install and services after - I have tried using the below method to do so
serviceinfo si = new serviceinfo();
        for (int i = 0; i < listView2.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            string testing = listView1.Items[i].Text;
            //MessageBox.Show(testing);
            ListViewItem item = listView2.FindItemWithText(testing);
            //MessageBox.Show(item.ToString());
            if (item == null)
            {
                //MessageBox.Show("Test");
                si.name = item.Text;
                listView3.Items.Add(si.name);
            }
            else
            {
                //MessageBox.Show("Item exists");
            }
        }

If I change the "item == null" to "!=" this outputs all equal items - but when it is "==" I get an "Object not referenced error" which I understand refers to trying to set si.name to a null object however i need the text.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

A: Probably you need to use something like this. Comments in code explain the logic.
// Loop over the items in the first list....
for (int i = 0; i < listView1.Items.Count; i++)
{
    // Get the text of the item at i pos in the first listview
    string testing = listView1.Items[i].Text;

    // Search it in the second listview
    ListViewItem item = listView2.FindItemWithText(testing);

    // If not found...
    if (item == null)
    {
        // Add the text to the third listview
        listView3.Items.Add(testing);
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Item exists");
    }
}

NOTE: I suppose that you want to discover if the latest install has added some new services, in this context the code above assumes that the first ListView is the list of services AFTER install and the second ListView contains the service BEFORE install.
If this is not the case then just reverse the ListView variables names.....
(However I suggest you to give at this objects a more understandable names like lvBeforeInstall, lvAfterInstall, lvAddedServices)

A: To start with, you can add
    if(listView1.Items.Count < i) return;
to the top of your subroutine. This will avoid the null-ref.
I would strongly recommend comparing your data in the model instead of the view. It would be worth your time to study MVVM or MVC architecture, and how this problem would be handled in contemporary programming design patterns.

Between July and September LegaSea ran a campaign – the 'Crayfish Crisis'. It highlighted the collapse of the Crayfish 2 (CRA 2) stock and the need for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Quota Management System. This campaign was developed following the March 2017 survey of more than 800 CRA 2 fishers and divers. Many of these respondents had more than 20 years' experience so were able to provide detailed comments on how the CRA 2 fishery had changed over time. The survey revealed an overall dissatisfaction about the quality and availability of crayfish between Pakiri and East Cape on the northeast coast of the North Island. A 3-minute video 'The Tragedy of the Quota Management System' was published online and people were encouraged to contact their local MP and Nathan Guy, the Minister for Primary Industries, and express their thoughts about the ongoing mismanagement of New Zealand's fisheries. The campaign drew mixed reactions:
The MPs and Minister provided assurances that they were aware of the concerns and a scientific survey would be completed later this year.
Commercial interests strongly objected to the claims about depletion and poor catch rates.
Many non-commercial interests agreed that either a seasonal or full closure was required to kick start the restoration of crayfish abundance and marine diversity to more natural levels.
The campaign has been one of our most successful in terms of crayfish. More than 780 people emailed their local MP and Minister Nathan Guy. Both were left in no doubt that their response to the crayfish issue would influence how people voted in the recent general election. LegaSea acknowledges and thanks all those individuals and organisations that helped to make the CRA 2 campaign a success. It was a combined effort by LegaSea, the New Zealand Sport Fishing Council, New Zealand Underwater Association, Dive New Zealand, New Zealand Angling and Casting Association and our LegaSea partners.
