If you joined us for our December informational meeting, you took part in a great discussion about public works, specifically roads, drainage systems and sidewalks — in a potential city of Vista Grove. Right now, we have an historic opportunity to invest in, repair, and build out this important infrastructure in our community.
Cities operate in designated service areas. For Vista Grove, those would include parks and recreation, roads and drainage, police protection, and planning and zoning. Other services would continue to be handled by the county.
Roads and drainage services would also include pavement maintenance and repaving, and sidewalk repair and construction. Stormwater systems maintenance, an important aspect of that, is paid via a separate dedicated fee.
Pavement preservation — as opposed to simply addressing repairs when they are needed — is cost-effective, saving later dollars on rehabilitation. 2014 DTS. Maintenance deferred for too long builds risk of hazardous conditions and more expensive rehabilitation.
If you have observed the paving projects, as well as sidewalk construction, in neighboring cities, you have seen rapid progress in working through paving backlog and in new sidewalk construction.
How have these cities been able to move so quickly? Through the judicious use of public-private partnership — having privatized and professional contractors bid to handle these services. Services are thereby delivered professionally from conception, by subject matter experts. This approach, used most recently by Tucker, permits immediate readiness, rapid deployment of staff and resources, and reduces expenditure of capital in the start-up phase.
In turn, this is helping cities and the county as a whole. We know cities do not exist in isolation. Cities coexist and partner with the county. They work with other cities, and they work with regional and state stakeholders on subject matter areas like transit. The sharing of service delivery between counties and cities — the city-county partnership — is creating success countywide. When cities to handle these aspects of public works, it frees up time, money, and resources for the county.
Brookhaven, which provides road maintenance for its citizens, has a proactive road paving program. It engages contractors to assess all city streets every four years, prioritizing a pavement condition index that looks at conditions and traffic volume. Based on this assessment, the city has in place a five-year street paving capital program.
Sidewalks are another critical piece of a long-term infrastructure plan for Vista Grove. We should work toward having sidewalks on both sides of all major roads and within all school walking zones, i.e., those areas within one mile of schools.
Certainly, this is a safety issue. A 2014 transportation study of the county noted that 60 percent of crashes occur within ½ mile of a school. For crashes involving pedestrians, 75 percent of them occurred along roadways with no median and 81 percent of them were on roadways with speed limits between 35 and 45 mph. (2014 DTS, Needs Assessment Page 9.) Those conditions can and should be addressed.
Beyond safety, a sidewalk network plays an important role in building community. When we can safety and easily walk to playgrounds, retail areas, and parks, more of us will be using our public spaces and have the kinds of personal interactions that make a community great.
We can also begin the gradual design and update of our roadways into smart streets, that integrate these sidewalks, along with bike lanes and the right safety and access features for pedestrians. Even smaller additions like tree plantings for shade and judicious placement of benches, when handled thoughtfully, can improve the aesthetics and encourage use of non-vehicle alternatives.
And then imagine the opportunities for recreation, fitness, and quality of life enhancement when we connect our sidewalk network to a Vista Grove Greenway, building out our own multi-use trail system between the South and North Fork Peachtree Creek trails and then to the emerging regional trail system.
With the energy, proactive planning and resources of our own city, we can revitalize our aging physical infrastructure — including, roads, stormwater systems, and missing connections like sidewalks — and build those out to get us ready for the future. It is time to get started on making Vista Grove a truly connected, walkable and bikeable community, one with safe and smart streets. It is both a short-term and and long-term investment, and one that can make our community stronger than ever.
The good news is that an engaged citizenry, with the right resources and civic platform to amplify their efforts, can create incredible change. We have seen that happen in the cities that have formed around us, both older ones like Chamblee, and newer ones, like Tucker and Brookhaven. Preserving the good and becoming the thriving, connected community we want to be, requires some change. Cities are helping drive that change, and with the voice and concentrated energy, planning and resources that a city would give us, Vista Grove can, too.

For example:
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope,$http) {

  //$scope.insertFunc = function(lngth, brdth) {
    //$http.get("http://localhost/crud/public/insert_rectangle_dimension_page/"+lngth+"/"+brdth)
    $scope.insertFunc = $timeout(function(lngth,brdth) {
        $scope.lngtha = lngth;
        $scope.brdtha = brdth;
    $http({
      method  : 'POST',
      url     : 'http://localhost/crud/public/insert_rectangle_dimension_page',
      data    : {lngth:$scope.lngth, brdth:$scope.brdth}
     })
    .then(function successCallback(response)
    {
        console.log('successCallback');
        console.log(response);
        //Function call to re-load data
        $scope.loadData();
    },

    function errorCallback(response)

        console.log('errorCallback');

    }

      $scope.loadData = function(){

Non-Brits On What Shocked Them Most About British Fashion
Back in the late 2000s, the words "British fashion" might have conjured up mental images of Kate Moss's iconic Topshop collection or Lily Allen's penchant for pairing designer ball gowns with Nike trainers. You might have thought of it-girls like Alexa Chung and Agyness Deyn, or indie lads like Pete Doherty and Kele Okereke. In other words: It was kind of cool, in its own way.
Today, it's a different story. Topshop stores have shuttered while online retailers like Boohoo and Pretty Little Thing reign supreme. British style probably exists on a spectrum somewhere between Depop bucket hats and whatever ex-Love Island contestants are flogging on Instagram Reels. Either way, we arguably peaked a decade or so ago and it's been downhill ever since.
But what does everyone else think (aside from the French, who no longer think we're cool)? From our inability to dress according to
The Mandarin's Original Canceled MCU Role Revealed
New details on Mandarin's original role in 2008's Iron Man reveal part of his villain plan and rivalry with Tony Stark before the MCU plan evolved.
Marvel Studios' original plan for Mandarin in 2008's Iron Man has been revealed. The first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe saw the studio figure out how to make the best possible solo film for Tony Stark, which meant changing the plans quite often. When Iron Man was originally conceived, the plan was for Stark's primary comic antagonist known as The Mandarin to be the central villain. This left Obadiah Stane as a secondary villain who could be a threat down the road, but Marvel eventually decided that it was best to leave Mandarin out of Jon Favreau's film.
The MCU might have canceled plans for Mandarin to be in Iron Man, but the desire for him to be in the universe

Being an adult is pretty cool in a lot of ways, but one way in which it is actually kind of bullshit is that it is no longer acceptable for me to hang out with my American Girl dolls. Like, what's that about? My boyfriend is allowed to have literally five different video game systems and that is okay with society, but I have to keep Samantha and Felicity in a box in my parents' house? Ridiculous!
Anyway, until I can make owning actual American Girl dolls at 35 years-old cool again (and I am going to try, by god!), there's good news for folks like me: American Girl doll inspiration is hot hot hot in the fashion world. Designer Prabal


Panoramic photography is a wonderful way to capture a wider view than can normally be captured with conventional photography.
or other dedicated stitching software.
We can print in many different formats, so you are able to obtain a more interesting image without the need for special equipment.
The "Harbor View" image below was created from 6 individual images which were stitched together using AutoPano Pro.
This image could easily be printed as a 5x20, 12x48 or 20x80, all are print sizes with a 4:1 width to height ratio. If another size is needed, the image would have to be cropped to a different ratio, or white space would have to be added to change the ratio.
If your image doesn't fit one of the sizes listed below, you can add white space in a program like Adobe Photoshop to increase your image size to fit one of our print sizes. for example, if you have a panorama that is 10x36, the closest size we have is a 12x36. You would need to add two inches of white space to make your image canvas fit our 12x36 print size.
Step1: Start Adobe Photoshop, and open the image.
Step2: Choose the "Image" menu, and click on "Canvas Size" to open the "Canvas Size" dialog box.
Step3: Check the box next to "Relative" and enter the number of inches to add to the canvas, in this case we'd enter a "2" for the height.
Step4: Make sure the canvas extension color is white.
Step5: Click the "OK" button to close the open dialog box and change the canvas size of your image.
Save the image as a flattened JPG, your image size is now 12x36 (your 10x36 image plus two inches of white) so you would place your order for a 12x36.
* 7x21, 10x24 and 10x30 are printed on 20" paper and will be printed 2-Up to avoid waste.

La Panther Westwinds Limited era una casa automobilistica inglese.  Nacque nel 1972 nei pressi di Londra per produrre auto di concezione moderna con una linea retro'; il primo modello fu infatti la Panther J.72 che replica esteticamente la Jaguar SS100 dotandola di motorizzazioni moderne Jaguar di diverse cilindrate.

Il successo dell'idea fu notevole fino a culminare nella promessa dell'importatore statunitense che richiese 3.000 auto all'anno. Questa situazione determinò però anche l'inizio del declino della marca in quanto la famiglia del fondatore ritenne di non finanziare l'investimento di 1.500.000 sterline necessarie per far fronte alla commessa, obbligandolo a cedere il controllo dell'80% delle azioni alla casa automobilistica coreana SsangYong Motor Company (che rilanciò la società inglese come Panther Car Company Limited).

La mentalità asiatica dei grandi numeri, di voler modificare tutto (le classiche poco pratiche caratteristiche di un'autovettura artigianale inglese) e tutti (il tradizionalista personale britannico), portò nel 1984 ad imbarcarsi in un progetto ambizioso, la costosa e complessa realizzazione della Panther Solo una sportiva da 160 mph a 4 ruote motrici e con motore Ford Cosworth, tutti fattori che portarono alla chiusura definitiva dell'azienda nel 1990.

Maoist leader unveils road map for change in Nepal
In an exclusive interview to The Hindu — conducted recently over an hour and a half at an undisclosed location — Prachanda hails India's "positive stand" against autocratic monarchy but wants New Delhi to abandon its 'two pillar theory' that Nepal's stability needs both multi-party democracy and a constitutional monarchy.
Prachanda unveils road map for change in Nepal
Maoist leader hails Indian stand but calls for end to `two-pillar theory'
At an undisclosed location: Asserting that the democratic movement against King Gyanendra was now unstoppable, Nepal's top Maoist leader, Prachanda, called on the Indian Government to abandon its "two-pillar theory" and choose the one pillar of multi-party democracy over the "so-called monarchy" that had usurped all power in the country.
In an exclusive face-to-face interview to The Hindu conducted over an hour-and-a-half, the Maoist leader spelt out his party's "minimum political slogan" — the realisation of a "democratic republic" through the election of a Constitutional Assembly under international supervision. The Maoists, he said, were fully committed to multi-party democracy — the phrase he prefers to use is political competition — so long as it was under a "new constitutional framework."
"If the King says that I was wrong to have done what I did last year, now come on, let us sit across the table, and then he talks of a free and fair election to a constitutional assembly, then we will be ready to take part," Mr. Prachanda said. "Our minimum, bottom line is the election of a Constitutional Assembly, that too under international supervision… and whatever the peoples' verdict, we are ready to accept that. This is our bottom line."
He stressed that the Maoists' commitment to multi-party democracy — as practically enunciated in a major party meeting last August — is not tactical but the result of a lengthy ideological debate within the party over three years. "Our decision on multi-party democracy is a strategically, theoretically developed position," he said. "And we are telling the parliamentary parties that we are ready to have peaceful competition with you all." He agreed that it was natural for parliamentary parties to have doubts about the Maoists' intentions because the party has an army. "They ask us whether after the constitutional assembly is elected we will abandon our arms. We have said we are ready to reorganise our army together with the democratic elements of the Royal Nepal Army and make a new Nepal army." The Maoists' army was not the problem, he added. It was the RNA, which had been serving the country's "feudal lords" for 250 years.
The Maoist leader stressed that when elections for the Constitutional Assembly are held, the party would accept whatever verdict emerged democratically. "We are convinced people will choose a democratic republic. But if people choose a ceremonial or constitutional monarchy, we are ready to accept that too."
Mr. Prachanda said the Maoists had also suggested that the parliamentary parties reconvene parliament and declare themselves the legitimate government. "Two-thirds of the MPs are with the Nepali Congress, the UML and smaller parties. They should call a meeting and declare themselves the legitimate parliament and set up a multi-party government." The Maoists would not be part of that government but would support it. "And then you invite us for negotiations and we will come forward. After that, there will be a move to set up an interim government, and the main aim of that government will be to have elections for a Constitutional Assembly."
The King, he said, would be given an ultimatum to back down, failing which the monarchy would be abolished because it would be "illegal."
Although this route would quickly bring about insurrectionary conditions, he acknowledged that the parliamentary parties were not ready for this. "That is why we are also talking of a Constitutional Assembly elected under international supervision."
(Excerpts from the interview will be published in The Hindu .)

Q: Good textbook for learning Sequent Calculus There are many modern text books teaching logic using Natural Deduction.
There are no books teaching logic using the axiomatic method (see Good book for learning and practising axiomatic logic )
Now in another post (Prove by introduction rules (P ⇒ Q) || (Q ⇒ R)⇒ (P NOT Q ⇒ R), (P ⇒ Q)⇒ !Q⇒ !P + more. ) somebody is struggling with sequent calculus
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequent_calculus )
Are there good textbooks to study logic using the sequent calculus method (or do you just have to be fluent in natural deduction before you should even have a look at it)?

A: 1) I don't agree -- to respond to your initial remark -- that there are no good books teaching logic using the axiomatic method. Many classic texts do just that, famously Mendelson (which taught me serious logic, many moons ago). Of more recent axiomatic texts, Leary's Friendly Introduction is terrific. And for a book very carefully written for self-study, Goldrei's Propositional and Predicate Calculus seems excellent (I says "seems" as I've only just found out about this text!).
2) But to respond to the main question, about sequent calculi: I'm not sure what  level of text you are looking for. (And it also depends what exactly you count as a sequent calculus. In one sense, Lemmon's classic introductory text Beginning Logic can be said to use a sequent calculus in very thin disguise. Instead of writing a sequent as $A, B, C \Longrightarrow D$, say, he writes something like $1,4,7\ (n)\ D$ where the numbers on the left of the line-number refer back to the lines at which $A$, $B$ and $C$ respectively appear as assumptions, and then he writes his proofs linearly rather than as trees.)
But, for someone who knows a little logic already and who wants a Gentzen-style presentation, I'd say the place to start is Sara Negri and Jan von Plato's very nice text Structural Proof Theory.

A: I learned sequent calculus from the first couple of chapters of Takeuti's text (Proof Theory, now out of print: http://www.amazon.com/Proof-Theory-Studies-Foundations-Mathematics/dp/0444879439).
I can't really compare it with other texts, but I found it worked well for me.

A: I think that you complaint can be addressed searching for good textbooks with exercise (quite all), hints for solution (not all) and, for more recent one, support material available on the web.
A textbook that offer all this is George Boolos & John Burgess & Richard Jeffrey, Computability and Logic (5th ed - 2007); unfortunately the exposition is not (I think) fitted for practicing with proof systems.
My personal experience is that you can practice with different methods and then try to benefit from their interrelations.
For example, I've found my preferred proof system with tableaux method (see R.Smullyan, First-Order Logic (1969, Dover reprint) ) and then observe that the sequent rules are the tableaux rules written "upside-down". In this way, starting from the bottom [e.g. with the sequent : $\rightarrow A$] and applying "backward" tableaux rules, you will be able to construct the sequent proof.
Another approach that I've found useful is to practice with Natural Deduction, that is quite easy to learn. Then you can "apply" this ability to axiomatic (or Hilbert-style) systems, translating your Natural Deduction proofs into Hilbert system, that is axiomatic but "mimicks" ND [see also S.C.Kleene, Mathematical Logic (1967, Dover reprint)].
This proof system, unlike Mendelson's, uses "more" axioms; for example (see Kleene, page 15) conjunction ($\land$) is "managed" by :

$\vdash A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow (A \land B))$

and

$\vdash (A \land B) \rightarrow A$ and $\vdash (A \land B) \rightarrow B$

that are really introduction- and elimination-rules in "axiomatic" form.

Franchise tag deadline primer: Who will get new deal?
Published: July 15, 2016 at 12:03 p.m.
The deadline for franchise tagged players to sign long-term contracts sits one day away.
Those tagged players not inked to a multi-year contract by July 15 at 4 p.m. ET will have to play under the one-year tender -- or choose to sit out the year with no pay. The one-year contract cannot be extended until the team's last regular season game.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that there are several players not expected to get long-term deals, per sources informed of the negotiations: Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson; Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery; New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson; Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Trumaine Johnson: Sides remain far apart on their positions of Johnson's worth. The corner would make $13.9 million on the tag. One prevailing thought when the Rams tagged Johnson instead of Janoris Jenkins was that it might be easier to get a deal done with Johnson. With a big jump to tag Johnson in back-to-back years, the Rams risk losing two starting corners in two years (Jenkins signed in New York this offseason).
Alshon Jeffery: With Jeffery's injury history, the Bears are skittish at giving the dynamite receiver a lot of guaranteed money. NFL Media's Mike Garafolo previously reported that the Bears want Jeffery at a deal closer to the $11 million per year contracts Allen Hurns and Keenan Allen signed than the $14.6 million franchise tag number. As the Bears' best player, Jeffery, has little incentive to cave.
Muhammad Wilkerson: Sides haven't appeared close on a new deal in a long while. With Making the Leap candidate Leonard Williams in-house, the Jets might feel they already have Mo's eventual replacement.
Kirk Cousins: Rapoport notes that both sides are comfortable playing it out and proving it for another year. Cousins was phenomenal down the stretch last season, but has only started one full season. One year at $19.9 million seems plenty fair for both sides. If Cousins repeats his 2015 performance, the Redskins won't be shy to give him a new big deal. If Cousins bombs, Washington saved itself from a potentially hamstringing contract.
NFL Media's Rand Getlin previously reported that Eric Berry and the Chiefs are unlikely to come to terms on a deal "unless there is a significant shift."
Could a shift happen Friday? Rapoport added that a deal hasn't been ruled out and that general manager John Dorsey's best offers to tagged players usually fall on the day of the deadline, according to sources informed of the negotiations. This sounds a lot like last year when Kansas City also came down to the wire with Justin Houston before agreeing to a long-term deal.
There are two players for which new deals remain more in play before the deadline, according to Rapoport: Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller and Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.
Von Miller likely will become the NFL's highest-paid defensive player. Guaranteed money has been the sticking point thus far. Will general manager John Elway unstick the problem prior to the deadline?
Sources with knowledge of the negotiations told Rapoport on Friday the two sides are "closing in on a deal" that would include $70 million fully guaranteed by March 2018.
Justin Tucker is set to make $4.57 million on the tag. The Ravens would need to pay up on a long-term deal or face tagging one of the NFL's best booters again next season at an increased rate.
On Thursday, Tucker's agent, Rob Roche, made it clear Tucker would not play for the Ravens in 2017 without a long-term deal by Friday. "Justin's disillusioned with the process right now and the Ravens' position with him on his contract," Roche told ESPN. "If we don't get a long-term deal done by Friday, Justin will not entertain offers from Ravens after the season."

Modernising Drug Law Enforcement
Health, Drug Law Reform, Criminal Justice
The times they are a'changing?
By Mike Trace
Everyone in the drug policy movement is saying that a corner has been turned, and significant reform is now inevitable. As ever, it is more complex than that, as governments and advocates around the world grapple with the new uncertainties.
Looking back over the last 10 years or so, I see some real change, but also some surprising inertia, and what comes next is by no means certain. When I went to work at the UNODC in 2002, it was indeed heresy to acknowledge that the international drug control conventions were not successfully controlling the drug problem, and saying you promoted harm reduction was career suicide (as it happens, I was forced to resign in 2003 for saying both those things – although maybe also for being too involved with George Soros and OSI).
Nearly ten years later, there is a mixed picture of progress and increased sophistication in the UNODC message: On the 'failed drug war', successive leaders have acknowledged the limited progress (now talking about containment of a problem, rather than a drug free world), and openly talk about the 'unintended' negative consequences of a system built on prohibition and punishment. But the UN institutions, particularly the INCB, continue to strongly defend the current policy framework as the best way to maximise human health and welfare. The vehemence of the INCB response to the Bolivian government's reasonable proposal for amendments to the references to coca leaf in the 1961 Convention attests to their continued faith in repression and condemnation as the best instruments of drug control, and their fear of any alternative approach that 'undermines the spirit of the Conventions'.
On harm reduction, despite massive increases in research and practical experience, policy progress is incredibly slow. The international community can still not agree to use the words 'harm reduction' in official Vienna documents - in a Kafka-esque twist, the interventions are recognised, but they have to be referred to as 'public health measures', or 'reducing negative health consequences'. It is amazing that in 2011, when the evidence is unequivocal and the rest of the UN happily promotes harm reduction, gatherings of diplomats and experts in Vienna still have to perform these verbal gymnastics.
On the wider policy front, it is true that the voices calling for proper review and reform of drug strategies are getting louder and more influential – the recent Global Commission on Drug Policy report being the latest example. But are governments making any significant moves? I am not seeing it. Some, like the Czech Republic, Argentina, and Portugal are comfortably in a liberalising phase and, while there is still much to worry about in the US strategy under Obama, there is no doubt that the rhetoric has changed. On the other hand, some European countries are pulling back from some of the health-based initiatives pursued previously, and many African and Asian governments are still enthusiastically passing tough drug laws, and strategies of zero tolerance.
The network that I currently Chair (IDPC) tracks and analyses these ebbs and flows of policy developments to seek ways to positively influence the debate and push for humane, effective and evidence-based drug control. I hope that you enjoy reading our blog posts and we look forward to reading your responses and comments.

Q: How to detect the event when media transport controls show and hide I'm using MediaPlayerElement. Currently the media transport controls can show and hide itself. But there is no event to indicate when to show and hide.
Is there any workaround? Thx.
<MediaPlayerElement x:Name="viuMediaPlayer" AreTransportControlsEnabled="True">
        <MediaPlayerElement.TransportControls>
            <MediaTransportControls
                x:Name="MediaTransportControls_Custom"/>
        </MediaPlayerElement.TransportControls>
    </MediaPlayerElement>

A: Currently, UWP does not provide api to detect transport controls show and hide. But you could check MediaTransportControls style. The hide and show animation matched VisualState are  ControlPanelFadeIn and ControlPanelFadeOut.
<VisualState x:Name="ControlPanelFadeIn">

    <Storyboard>
        <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="ControlPanel_ControlPanelVisibilityStates_Border">
            <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0" />
            <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.3" Value="1" />
        </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Y" Storyboard.TargetName="TranslateVertical" From="50" To="0.5" Duration="0:0:0.3" />
    </Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="ControlPanelFadeOut">

    <Storyboard>
        <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="ControlPanel_ControlPanelVisibilityStates_Border">
            <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="1" />
            <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.7" Value="0" />
        </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsHitTestVisible" Storyboard.TargetName="ControlPanel_ControlPanelVisibilityStates_Border">
            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="False" />
        </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Y" Storyboard.TargetName="TranslateVertical" From="0.5" To="50" Duration="0:0:0.7" />
    </Storyboard>
</VisualState>

So you could detect TranslateVertical Y property changed to recognise MediaTransportControls hide or show state.
 var PanelGrid = MyFindListViewChildByName(MyControl, "ControlPanelGrid") as Grid;
 var render = PanelGrid.RenderTransform;
 var watcher = new DependencyPropertyWatcher<string>(render, "Y");
 watcher.PropertyChanged += Watcher_PropertyChanged;

private void Watcher_PropertyChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{

    if ((double)e.NewValue == 50)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("hide");
    }
    else if ((double)e.NewValue == 0.5)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("show");
    }

}

But the is a problem in above, if the thread that host above event exist, the Watcher_PropertyChanged will be unavailable.
Refer tool class
public static DependencyObject MyFindListViewChildByName(DependencyObject parant, string ControlName)
{
    int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parant);

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        var MyChild = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parant, i);
        if (MyChild is FrameworkElement && ((FrameworkElement)MyChild).Name == ControlName)
            return MyChild;

        var FindResult = MyFindListViewChildByName(MyChild, ControlName);
        if (FindResult != null)
            return FindResult;
    }

    return null;
}

public class DependencyPropertyWatcher<T> : DependencyObject, IDisposable
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register(
            "Value",
            typeof(object),
            typeof(DependencyPropertyWatcher<T>),
            new PropertyMetadata(null, OnPropertyChanged));

    public event DependencyPropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    public DependencyPropertyWatcher(DependencyObject target, string propertyPath)
    {
        this.Target = target;
        BindingOperations.SetBinding(
            this,
            ValueProperty,
            new Binding() { Source = target, Path = new PropertyPath(propertyPath), Mode = BindingMode.OneWay });
    }

    public DependencyObject Target { get; private set; }

    public T Value
    {
        get { return (T)this.GetValue(ValueProperty); }
    }

    public static void OnPropertyChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
    {
        DependencyPropertyWatcher<T> source = (DependencyPropertyWatcher<T>)sender;

        if (source.PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            source.PropertyChanged(source.Target, args);
        }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        this.ClearValue(ValueProperty);
    }
}

Certainly, the better is that post your requirement in UserVoice ask our team for this new feature.

Hallmark's 'Love On Iceland': Everything You Need To Know
January 17, 2020 by Georgia Makitalo 0 Comments
News, Scripted
Love On Iceland is the latest Winterfest movie. This one takes place in the land of fire and ice. Iceland is a magical place of Blue Lagoons, glaciers and geysers spitting out water. Starring Kaitlin Doubleday (Nashville) and Colin Donnell (Arrow), this is an equally beautiful and romantic new Hallmark movie.
What Is Love On Iceland About?
Podcast producer Chloe (Doubleday) is overworked and uninspired. Meanwhile, she needs to give her boss some new ideas, but she needs to get her batteries recharged. Subsequently, her best pal Isabella (Patti Murin) suggests they take a trip to Iceland, along with Kenneth (Preston Sadleir), her boyfriend.
Included in the group is Chloe's old boyfriend Charlie (Donnell), who is now a world-class photographer. They had split up because he was following his dream, and she wanted to remain in Chicago. Their relationship is reignited amongst the Glaciers and frozen beauty of this Scandinavian country. Is this time for real?
This Winterfest Movie Takes Place On Iceland!
This entire movie was shot in Iceland, unlike other Hallmark movies in foreign or exotic settings. This is a Hallmark first! Usually, they send a crew and perhaps cast to film a few days in the stated location, while filming the rest in either Canada or a country like Romania.
Most importantly, what can be more romantic than Iceland? Kaitlin told Home and Family that the short five hours of light, between 11:oo a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and afterward was "magic hour" with soft lights. On the beach, there are icebergs everywhere, and in Iceland, they light them up. How magical and romantic!
Kaitlin Doubleday was just recently in the 2019 Countdown to Christmas lineup. The delightful actress starred alongside Adrian Grenier in the Elvis-themed Christmas romance, Love In Graceland.
Fun fact: Patti Murin, who plays best pal Isabella, is married to Colin Donnell IRL.
Where Can You See Love On Iceland?
Love On Iceland premieres on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 9 p.m. Eastern time on the Hallmark Channel. Encore showings include Jan. 23 at 10 p.m., Jan. 25 at 7 p.m., Jan. 26 at 3:00 p.m, Feb. 7 at 4:00 p.m., Feb. 22 at 11 a.m. and Feb. 28 at 8 p.m., all times Eastern. Be sure to always check listings in case of a schedule change.
Are you ready for more Winterfest? Every week in January, Hallmark is airing a new winter romance that takes place in a snowy, wintery location. There is winter sports including tobogganing, skating, cross country skiing, festive hot chocolates, and cozy outdoor pit fires. They are a Christmas tree short of a Countdown to Christmas movie!
TV Shows Ace reported that Winterfest started out with Hallmark's Winter In Vail, starring Lacey Chabert and Tyler Hynes. This winter romance took place in charming old Vail, Colorado. The Bavarian history of the town was front and center in this delightful romance. The second Winterfest movie of 2020 was like a page out of The Bachelor. Love In Winterland stars Chad Michael Murray, Italia Ricci and Jack Turner. Who should Ally choose, her high school sweetheart or the heartthrob bachelor with the sexy British accent?
Be sure to check back with TV Shows Ace for the latest Hallmark news. Love On Iceland premieres on Saturday, June 18, at 9 p.m. Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel.

A support core composed of high-density polyfoam is built to withstand the test of time. Given its makeup, we expect the Nectar to last at least 7-8 years, making it a durable choice. The Nectar is hard to beat at this price, so if you're looking for a reasonable mattress constructed with quality materials, your search can end here.
Founded in 2017, Nectar Mattress has become one of the most loved names in the mattress market. The Nectar is an affordable and great investment for your bedroom and here is why. While the company features an adjustable frame and foundation, its flagship mattress is still its crowning jewel, mixing a breathable base with thick layers of memory foam for deep relaxation. Also, it has cooling features that keep heat away from your body as you sleep. Nectar uses a combination of memory foam, base foam and gel quilting foam that offers a very secure surface. You'll surely experience that shaping feel you expect from a memory foam mattress. That's five layers of customization and comfort for your body.
The most noteworthy component of the Nectar's construction is the whopping 4 inches of memory foam top layer, which results in a significant amount of body contouring and sinkage. This is an all-foam mattress made up of three distinct layers that pile as much as an 11″ profile.
First, the cover is made up of both cotton and Tencel, an eco-friendly material famous for its breathability and softness. With that there's an inch of gel memory foam quilted into the cover, which provides the sleeper with immediate comfort. The combo of the gel infusion and Tencel fibers make for an ultra-cool layer that'll help regulate temperatures while you sleep.
The 2nd layer is 3 inches of memory foam, the Comfort Layer. This material has a remarkably slow reaction to pressure, allowing you to really sink in for some gratifying pressure relief. As the foam shapes to the curves of your body, you're likely to feel as though you are sleeping more "in" the mattress compared to "on top" of it, which is a pleasant feel and perfect fit for side sleepers needing cushiony support in the shoulders and hips.
Next you'll find a transitional layer of memory foam, which has a marginally quicker reaction to pressure compared to the foams over it. This section is supposed to ease the sleeper into the firmer foundation below, helping to extend the shaping of the comfort layer even deeper into the mattress.
After having a peek at the construction of the mattress, let's talk about the firmness and feel. By applying some light hand pressure to the mattress you will discover that immediately you'll be interacting with the thick layers of memory foam up top. Lying down you will feel yourself sinking into the Nectar, with all the gentle foams contouring round you.
Stomach – Unfortunately, this comfort does not necessarily carry over for the stomach area. The thick layers of memory foam causes the hip area to sink from alignment with the shoulders, which makes for a little tension along the spine. In general, stomach sleepers usually opt for firmer mattresses, so I was not overly surprised by this conclusion.
According to our research, the top thick layers from Nectar's memory foam work to dampen motion throughout the structure, ensuring that you won't be bothered by your bed mate's tossing and turning in the evening.
Testing out the Nectar mattress, I was really surprised by the feel of the foam. Because as I rolled and moved around the bed I actually felt like I was sinking just enough and not too much. Having said that, I decided to find out the actual sinkage measurement for the Nectar. I was quite astonished by how much I sank into the top layers of memory foam. And so, based on our research: 45kg or 100lbs creates 15.24cm of sinkage. That's 6cm for a 100 pound human being. It's safe to say, you are still more likely to feel as though you're sleeping "in" the Nectar as opposed to "on top" of it.
The mattress fares very well in comparison to other memory foam mattresses that come in at a higher cost. With quite positive consumer evaluations on relaxation, bounce, construction, and extra advantages, the Nectar is a really good buy for your money.
Now that we've broken down the specific, nitty-gritty details of the Nectar, let us widen the scope and have a look at a few of its biggest competitors in the game. While each bed has unique features that make it a distinctive product in the market, it can be useful to contextualize these distinctions against other mattresses. Plus, who doesn't love a little cross-referencing prior to making a large purchase?
Unlike the majority of other memory foam mattresses that generally sleep a little warm, the Nectar provides a high amount of cooling. The top layer of gel memory foam, paired with the infused cover keeps the temperature cool, while giving maximum comfort.
The Nectar mattress can be sat right on a box spring. Or if you want, a platform or any other flat supportive surface. In addition, it can be utilized with any adjustable bed frame, that can fit an 11 inch mattress.
You can also put the Nectar right on the floor if that is what you would prefer to do. Just be certain there is not any moisture or water around.
The Nectar requires no flipping. But, it is suggested that you rotate the mattress possibly one or two times per year to stop it from wearing down or from excessive sagging.
Additionally, it's risk-free one-year sleep trial,"Forever Warranty", free transport, easy return/refund procedure and very affordable prices finalize the extended list of quality attributes and choices offered to customers in the time of the initial purchase and afterwards.


And how things have changed since these hardworking, glamorous women had small children. We're no longer setting our hair and rarely zipping ourselves into circle skirts or fastening pearls around our throats.
We also tend not to park our babies in the sunshine, in their prams or dip their dummies in whisky for a decent night's sleep. Phew.
It must be said, however, that we're all still working like devils to keep our families and ourselves happily afloat. We're also still pondering what being a mother, woman and partner should entail.
Take a peek at these famous Hollywood mums from ye-olden-days and behold the work-life balance struggle in its early years. Not only were women under pressure to be glamorous and cordial hostesses and wives, they needed to do it while raising perfectly presented, nice mannered little people – and possibly earning a crust too.
Let's all count our lucky stars that Netflix and yoga pants were invented. Let's also be thankful that parenting is now (hopefully) shared a little more equally between parents – and that many women are now free to define their own roles without too much insane pressure to have neat hair, a nicely-set table and perfectly turned-out frocks/babies.


Getting ready for the show again. Hopefully we will have some live footage! Stay tuned!

Abstract Between 2005 and 2050, the share of the population aged 60 and over is projected to increase in nearly every country in the world. Insofar as this shift will tend to lower both labor force participation and savings rates, it raises bona fide concerns about a future slowing of economic growth. These concerns apply to both developed and developing countries. An examination of past decades' data for OECD countries reveals that life expectancy has increased much faster than the legal age of retirement. Indications are similar in developing countries, which face the additional challenge of getting "old" before they get "rich". This paper analyses the implications of population aging for economic growth. Our main conclusion is that population aging poses challenges that are formidable, but not insurmountable. For OECD countries, projected drops in both labor force participation and labor-force-to- population ratios suggest modest declines in the pace of economic growth. However, various behavioral responses can mitigate these age structure effects. With longer life expectancies and smaller family sizes, higher savings for retirement and increased female labor force participation appear likely. Similarly, with shrinking labor forces, labor force participation among the elderly and immigration from labor-surplus countries may rise. However, the magnitude of these changes will critically depend on policy decisions (especially in the areas of healthcare and pension provision) taken at the national level, and business decisions taken at the local level. In most non-OECD countries, declining fertility rates will cause labor-force-to-population ratios to rise as the shrinking share of young people will more than offset the skewing of adults toward the older ages. In addition, some countries, such as China, may be able to compensate for any potential labor shortages due to population aging by mobilizing large numbers of rural and urban unemployed or underemployed workers. These factors suggest that population aging will not significantly impede the pace of economic growth in developing countries.

Population Aging and Economic Growth
David E. Bloom, David Canning, and Günther Fink I. Introduction The world is entering largely unfamiliar territory with respect to population aging. Combined with the dynamic evolution of past variations in birth and death rates, recent declines in fertility rates and increases in life expectancy are causing a significant shift in the global age structure. The number of people over the age of 60 is projected to reach 1 billion by 2020 and almost 2 billion by 2050, representing 22 percent of the world's population. The proportion of individuals aged 80 or over is projected to rise from 1 percent to 4 percent of the global population between today and 2050.1
The elderly are not only growing rapidly in absolute numbers, but have also become substantially healthier. In a phenomenon referred to by demographers and health specialists as the "compression of morbidity", the length of healthy old-age appears to be increasing. Part of this trend can be attributed to increases in the length of life, and part to shorter and later periods of illness. The net effect is an increase in number of years lived at old age without major health problems. Since different age groups have different needs and productive capacities, a country's economic characteristics will likely change as its population ages. A standard approach to assessing these changes is to assume constant age-specific behavior with respect to employment, consumption, and savings, and to assess the implications of changes in the relative size of different age groups for these fundamental contributors to national income. However, this simple approach is likely to be misleading as changing norms and expectations are likely to alter individual behavior in a way that will influence the economic consequences of aging. In particular, expectations of living longer than previous generations may induce individuals to remain in the workforce for longer and to begin to draw down savings at a later age. In addition, the links between population aging and macroeconomic performance are mediated by the institutional context. With increasing longevity and aging populations, retirement policy, pension and health care finance, the efficiency of labor and capital markets, and the structure of regional and global economic systems are likely to adjust. The magnitude of these shifts may in turn depend on voting and other political behavior of an aging electorate whose needs and interests may differ from those of younger people. This paper examines the effects of population aging on economic growth. We begin with a presentation and analysis of descriptive statistics on the extent and pace of population aging. The paper then explores the overall effect of population aging on economic growth as well as the effects operating via two main channels through which growth can occur: labor supply and human capital accumulation. Accounting effects of population aging on factor accumulation and economic growth are distinguished from behavioral effects. Finally, the paper highlights the 1 The United Nations makes several separate forecasts of population size, including ones based on low-, medium-, and high-fertility assumptions. This paper uses the UN's medium-fertility scenario except where otherwise stated.
important role played by the policy and institutional environment in determining the economic growth effects of population aging. This section also discusses a variety of demographic, behavioral, and policy forces crucial to understanding and guiding the effect of population aging on economic growth. II. Population Aging: Facts, Force, and Future In this section, we present a series of key facts regarding past and projected future population aging, and briefly consider some of the related policy implications. The data and figures presented will serve as anchors for the economic analyses found in subsequent sections. We first look at the overall UN population projections, and then examine the factors underlying the rise in the absolute size and share of the elderly population. We also briefly investigate how population trends will affect the options faced by policymakers. Population data and projections Population projections from the United Nations change every two years as new estimates are published. For example, forecasts of the total world population in 2050 declined from about 10 to 9 billion people between 1994 and 2008. One might expect projections of the number of people aged 60 or above and 80 or above to be rather stable, since all those who will reach those ages in the next six decades have already been born and unpredictable changes in fertility need not be taken into account. However, these projections have changed significantly, even in recent years: the greatest proportionate change between the 1994 and 2008 UN forecasts occurred for the population aged 80+ in 2050, with a 20% increase in the population size estimate for developed countries since 1994. The population projection data displayed in this paper should thus be interpreted with caution as current estimates may well be significantly altered as new fertility and mortality data become available.
Despite these concerns around long-term projections, a simple look at today's age structure makes it very clear that world is experiencing an unprecedented phenomenon in terms of aging.2
The 60+ and 80+ age groups' shares of the total population are higher than at any time in history, and their growth is accelerating. The glob

After the war, Eugene Sledge spent several months in China with the occupying forces. When he returned to the States, he had a difficult time adjusting to life in America. Nightmares, from his combat experience, were just one of the issues which haunted him.
He studied at Auburn University and became a scientist. It was one way for Sledge to put distance between the war and his new life. He also exchanged letters with parents of other Marines, whose sons had died at Peleliu.
He married Jeanne Arceneaux, had two sons, was awarded a PhD (from the University of Florida) and became a biology professor at the University of Montevallo. He was much-loved by his family, friends and students. Studs Terkel (the oral historian) recorded Sledge in a six-part audio interview.
Sledge died on the 3rd of March, 2001, following a battle with stomach cancer. His popular book, With the Old Breed, is a major source for the HBO series, "The Pacific."

Two Arrested for Selling Bahubali Movie Tickets in Black
Admin 8 July,2015
S.S.Rajamouli's most Prestigious and awaiting movie "Bahubali" in which Prabhas, Rana, Anushka, Tamanah are the leading characters is going to release on 10th July 2015. The tickets are already available for online booking. But due to heavy traffic servers are crashed and most of the people did not get the tickets. Now, the theater owners are making money by selling the black tickets to the people who did not get the tickets in online.
Must Read: A Comman Man's "Challenge" to Bahubali Team
Recently in Vishvanadh theater, Kukatpally police arrested two people who are selling 700 black tickets for 2000/- each.
Cops are investigating on this issue that, how they got 700 tickets, three days prior to Bahubali movie release ? Most of the people are saying that theater owners gave the 700 tickets to the people who are working in the theater for selling them in black.
People are very much interested in watching Bahubali, but the theater owners are planning to acquire more money by selling the tickets of Bahubali in an illegal manner.
Shockingly, in some of the theaters, the ticket rate is 'Four times' the actual ticket cost of "Bahubali" that hasn't come into lime light.

Oak Ridge dispatchers and emergency workers switched to a new radio system last week that uses encrypted communications, and access is restricted to public safety employees.
That means that people who have listened to Oak Ridge police and fire communications, among other radio transmissions, on scanners and scanner apps but aren't public safety employees such as police officers or firefighters will no longer be able to listen. That includes reporters.
"For the safety of our officers, the Police Department does not have any plans at this time to allow access to the radio system beyond public safety employees," City of Oak Ridge spokesperson Sarah Self said in a brief statement Tuesday, January 29.
The switch was apparently made at about 1 p.m. Monday, January 28. Oak Ridge Today has not heard Oak Ridge dispatchers on the radio since then.
Oak Ridge Today asked what steps the city will take to ensure that people continue to stay informed at least about major police and fire incidents since reporters and the public will no longer be able to listen to emergency communications.
"We will continue to work through our public information officer to share information about significant events," Oak Ridge Police Chief Robin Smith said in a statement this Monday.
During two Oak Ridge City Council meetings in 2017, former Oak Ridge Police Chief Jim Akagi said the new Motorola system will extend the radio system's range and provide better communications, better coverage, and interoperability with other public safety agencies.
"Most importantly, it will encrypt our radio transmissions," Akagi said.
Encryption uses a secret code to protect data by preventing access by anyone who doesn't have a decryption key.
The Oak Ridge dispatch system is primarily used by the Oak Ridge Police Department and Oak Ridge Fire Department. But other departments use it as well, including the Oak Ridge Electric Department, Oak Ridge Public Works Department, Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department, and Oak Ridge Schools.
Besides Oak Ridge, other law enforcement agencies have also switched to encrypted radio communications systems. The Knoxville Police Department and Knox County Sheriff's Office switched their systems in August.
The discussion about the moves to encrypted communications has included debate over issues that include the need to protect officer safety and the desire of the public to know what is happening in their community.
In October 2017, Akagi said, through a statement from Self, that reporters will not be able to access the public safety communications channels in Oak Ridge, such as through a digital decryption key.
That continues to be the plan under Smith.
The new radio system, estimated to cost about $4.28 million, was to include the construction of a 150-foot tower, repeaters, a microwave link from Louisiana Avenue to Windrock Mountain, and system-compliant radio and related equipment, according to information included in an Oak Ridge City Council agenda for an October 2017 meeting.
During that meeting, Council voted 5-0 to approve a debt resolution that allowed up to $21.35 million in bonds to be issued for bond refunding and about $14 million in new projects, including roughly $3.36 million for the radio system replacement.
The amount of debt required for the system was reduced by about $840,000 in grant proceeds, including funding from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Two months later, in December, Council voted 5-0 to purchase about $4.28 million in equipment for the new system. All but about $85,o00 of that was to buy Motorola P25 Mission-Critical Radio System equipment using state contract pricing, according to that November resolution.
The new equipment would allow the city to join the Tennessee Valley Regional Communications System, or TVRCS.
"By joining TVRCS, users will be able to communicate with outside agencies more effective," that resolution said. At the time, several public safety agencies surrounding Anderson County had joined the TVRCS: Roane County, Loudon County, Knox County, and Blount County. Anderson County Sheriff's Department is also a member, the resolution said, and uses TVRCS for some of its public safety communications.
In a memo to City Manager Mark Watson, Akagi said at the time that the city had purchased its previous radio system in 1989, before TVRCS was available.
A TVRCS radio system would greatly increase coverage and building penetration by providing three primary repeater sites, which would provide more coverage, depending upon the location of the user, Akagi said.
"This would dramatically increase safety for users during critical incidents in these locations," he said.
The previous radio system provided minimal or no coverage for portable radio users in some outlying areas and larger buildings in the city, Akagi said.
He said TVRCS is a well-established network and the most economical option for enhanced citywide radio communication. The initial cost of joining TVRCS is about half of the cost of purchasing a stand-alone radio system, which would require Oak Ridge to purchase and manage future upgrades, Akagi said.

Flaring natural gas burns by jack pumps at an oil well near Buford, North Dakota in the Bakken oil fields.
Natural gas production in the U.S. is about to experience another boom with production increasing 10% this year over 2017 and 60% in the next two decades, according to a new report from IHS Markit. The report's authors say that means more jobs and less climate change-causing carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere.
But there's also a dark side to the natural gas boom: a study published this week in the journal Science shows that natural gas production emits significantly more methane than previously understood. Methane, which contributes to global warming, is more potent than carbon dioxide but stays in the atmosphere for a shorter period of time.
The two realities underscore a growing divide among environmental groups and policymakers about the place natural gas should have in the future U.S. energy mix. Some progressive groups argue that the fossil fuel should be purged entirely while pragmatic environmentalists say technology can help reduce methane emissions and help address climate change.
The Science study, led by EDF in collaboration with a slew of academic institutions and industry partners, found that methane emissions across the oil and gas industry's supply chain — meaning during production and transportation — are approximately 60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated. Annual methane emissions of the scale highlighted in the new study have the same effect trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere as the carbon dioxide emissions from actually burning the natural gas, according to the study.
Leaders at EDF say stemming methane emissions present a relatively easy avenue to address global warming. The group has advocated a number of different methods along those lines from federal policies that require oil and gas companies to prevent leaks to pushing industry to implement new technology. Such initiatives have received some support in the oil and gas industry in large part because trapped methane can create a new stream of revenue. A 2015 report from the Rhodium Group estimated that methane leaks across the globe resulted in a $30 billion of lost revenue in 2012.
In that view, natural gas will serve as a "bridge fuel" that will help the globe transition away from coal entirely while renewable energy technology continues to develop. Last year U.S. large carbon dioxide emissions hit their lowest point in years in large part due to the rapid deployment of natural gas that displaces coal.
But continued expansion of natural gas may make it difficult to keep that trend alive as the energy source now primarily competes with renewables rather than coal. In response, some environmental groups have launched campaigns to tip the scale in favor of renewables. The efforts seek to stop natural gas power plant and pipeline construction.
That's easier said than done. The natural gas industry boomed a decade ago has hydraulic fracturing — known as fracking — and the new methods of drilling reduced the cost of the energy source. And, even after that boom, today regions like the Permian Basin in West Texas hold vast untapped reserves. Moreover, most projections show natural gas use continuing to expand across the globe as energy demand grows. And a slew of new natural gas power plants have come online in recent years that would be uneconomic too close.


Although there are many well known free antivirus solutions like Avast and AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials aka Windows Defender in Windows 8 has gained a lot of popularity lately. With a decent malware detection and removal rate, Windows Defender is now trusted by many home based Windows users.
However, one difference between the third-party antivirus solutions and Windows Defender is that the latter's automatic update is linked to Windows updates. Thus if a user has disabled Windows automatic update to save internet bandwidth, his Windows Defender will also remain outdated. And that's not something that we recommend because an antivirus that is not up-to-date is as good as no antivirus at all.
Today we will address this issue and have a look at how we can update Defender without enabling Windows automatic update. But before we check that, let's see how to change the Windows 8 update settings. Just a brief brush-up wouldn't harm.
To change Windows 8 update settings, open Control Panel and click on the Windows Update icon when viewing all the items instead of category view. If you are browsing in category view you can find it under System and Security module.
In Windows Update click on the Change Settingsoption on the left sidebar and choose the Windows update settings you would like to keep. If you are planning to save bandwidth then the option to "check for updates but let me choose when to download and install them" would be the best thing to go with.
Now that we have disabled automatic Windows update, let's move to the meat of this post: The method to have Windows Defender updated automatically even though Windows update is disabled.
As an antivirus is an integral part of secured computer, it's very important to keep it updated. To set up automatic update even after disabling the Windows update open Windows Task Scheduler. The easiest way to launch Windows Task Scheduler is by opening the Run Command box, typing in taskschd.msc and pressing enter. You can also search for Schedule Task in Windows Start Menu.
In the Task Scheduler create a new task and give it a reference name. In the Trigger tab click on the New button and enter the time of the day you want to run the task. Don't forget to change the frequency to daily.
Having done that, open the Action tab and click on the New button to add a new action. In add a new action window select Start a program and enter "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" with quotes. In the argument field enter –signatureUpdate and save the new task.
That's all, the Windows defender will now automatically receive updates at the specified time even when the Windows update is turned off. While creating the task, you can enter some additional settings in the Condition and Settings tab to make sure the task runs even if the computer were to go to sleep and miss the scheduled event.
