Q: How to update variable in OnStart() after notificationdatasetchanged() call in customadapter What is want is to update total number in textview in one activity. i have a custom adapter which calls Arraylist in this activity then populates in listview, this adapter also has image view which removes the list item and does notifydatasetchanged().
this is my customadapter
private ArrayList<DataModel> dataSet;
Context mContext;

private static class ViewHolder {
    TextView txtName;
    TextView txtType;
    Button remove;
}

public CustomAdapterForData(ArrayList<DataModel> data, Context context) {
    super(context, R.layout.fields, data);
    this.dataSet = data;
    this.mContext=context;
}

@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
    int position = (Integer) view.getTag();
    Object object = getItem(position);
    DataModel dataModel = (DataModel) object;

    switch (view.getId())
    {
        case R.id.btnRemove:
            remove(dataModel);
           // dataSet.remove(position);
            //dataSet.remove(position);
            notifyDataSetChanged();
            break;
    }
}

@NonNull
@Override
public View getView(int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
    DataModel dataModel = getItem(position);
    // Check if an existing view is being reused, otherwise inflate the view
    ViewHolder viewHolder; // view lookup cache stored in tag

    final View result;

    if (convertView == null) {

        viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fields, parent, false);
        viewHolder.txtName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.fieldName);
        viewHolder.txtType = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvPrize);
        viewHolder.remove = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.btnRemove);

        result=convertView;

        convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
    } else {
        viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        result=convertView;
    }

    viewHolder.txtName.setText(dataModel.getFieldName());
    viewHolder.txtType.setText(dataModel.getType());
    viewHolder.remove.setOnClickListener(this);
    viewHolder.remove.setTag(position);

    return convertView;
}

after that this is my onstart()
protected void onStart() {

   //if ((dataModels.size()!=0)){

    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

    adapter = new CustomAdapterForData(dataModels, getApplicationContext());

    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

    dataModelsnew = dataModels;
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewTotal);
    double sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0 ; i < dataModelsnew.size(); i++){
        sum = sum + dataModelsnew.get(i).getPrize();
    }
    tv.setText("Total : " + String.valueOf(Math.round(sum)*100d/100d));

    //}

    super.onStart();
}

what i want is populate latest value in textview which is sum of double (one element of ArrayList).Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance. The variable i want to update after i remove something from list view otherwise it is working fine.

A: You can use DataSetObservers to detect any changes in your data:
final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewTotal);
adapter.registerDataSetObserver(new DataSetObserver() {
        @Override
        public void onChanged() {
            super.onChanged();

            double sum = 0;
            for (int i = 0 ; i < dataModels.size(); i++){
                sum = sum + dataModels.get(i).getPrize();
            }
            tv.setText("Total : " + String.valueOf(Math.round(sum)*100d/100d));
    }
});

Q: QT/QML reopen New Window From Main Window I started working on QT/QML, PyQt Desktop Application. I have some basic knowledge of Qt/QML and all.
I'm trying to modify one Desktop Application already Exists.
Here is
I've add one Button in Main Window of Application which Open another Window.
main.qml
Button {
    text: "Open Window"

    Loader{ id: pageLoader }

    onClicked: {
        console.log("Clicked")
        pageLoader.source = "testing.qml"
    }
}

testing.qml
import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window {
    id: win1
    width: 1000;
    height: 1000;
    visible: true;
    visibility: "Maximized"
    color: "#363636";
    title: "First Window";
    Text {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: "Page 1"
    }
    MouseArea{
        anchors.fill: parent;
        onClicked: pageLoader.source="";
    }
}

When I clicked on Button, New Window is open Successfully. But When I closed new Window and Tried to reopen, It'll not open. It just print "Clicked".

A: Your problem is, that you clear the Loaders source, only when you close the window by clicking on the MouseArea it contains. If you close it with the x-button you don't clear it, so the loader stays active and the source stays the same.
To solve this, you can either make sure, the source changes, when ever you click the open-Button, by having
onClicked: {
    pageLoader.source = ""  // Clearing first
    pageLoader.source = "testing.qml" // Setting again
}

or by using the Windows closing()-signal
onClosing: pageLoader.source = ""

Smith Off Smith, Seager 2 Homers as Dodgers Beat Braves in NLCS [VIDEO]
Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images
One Will Smith outdid another Will Smith to keep the season alive for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A common name, a special result for the Dodgers catcher.
Smith hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off the Atlanta Braves reliever with the same name, Corey Seager homered twice and the Dodgers avoided elimination with a 7-3 win in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series on Friday night.
"I'll always bet on our Will Smith," Dodges manager Dave Roberts said.
Smith connected in the sixth against — of all people — Will Smith, the fourth of six Braves pitchers in their bullpen night that started with a couple of postseason firsts by A.J. Minter.
"For him to come through for us in that spot. I'm happy to see him expressing himself," Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts said of his teammate who rarely shows emotion but was clearly pumped up by his big blast.
Betts got that decisive sixth started with an infield single, and the first-year Dodger and former AL MVP had a running, shoestring catch in right field that turned into an inning-ending double play. His snag took an Atlanta run off the board after a replay challenge right before Seager's first homer.
"You're talking about momentum shifts, that's the play of the year," Roberts said. "I just thought there was no way he was going to make that play."
Game 6 is Saturday afternoon, with a pitching rematch from the series opener: lefty Max Fried for the Braves and right-hander Walker Buehler for the Dodgers. Both gave up one run in Game 1, which Atlanta won 5-1 after a four-run ninth. Atlanta is looking to get into the World Series for the first time since 1999.
"I knew it was going to be a really hard series, regardless of what situation you're in," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "I feel good tomorrow with Max on the mound. I feel really good with him going out there. Hopefully we can score a few runs and support him and wrap this thing up."
Blake Treinen, the third of seven Dodgers pitchers and the Game 1 loser in relief, pitched two perfect innings for the win. Inconsistent closer Kenley Jansen struck out the side in a non-save situation to end it, which Roberts called a highlight for him.
Betts had a stolen base after his sixth-starting single before Justin Turner's one-out hard grounder that got Betts caught in a rundown. The Braves then brought in their lefty named Will Smith to face left-handed batter Max Muncy, who drew a walk before the Dodgers' catcher named Will Smith hit a full-count pitch 404 feet to left-center for a 4-2 lead.
"It got the team going. that energy bounces off of each other," Smith said.
It was the first time since at least 1961 that a batter homered off a pitcher with the same name in the regular season or postseason, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Dodgers extended their lead in the seventh when Chris Taylor hit a two-out double and scored on a single by Betts before Seager hit a ball into LA's bullpen in right-center.
Seager's four homers and 10 RBIs have already tied NLCS records, with at least one more game for the Dodgers to play — two if they want a chance to get to the World Series for the third time in four years. The four homers are already a record for a shortstop in any postseason series.
"Just kind of putting good swings on pitches and everything is kind of clicking," Seager said.
Taylor turned an ankle in left field during the eighth inning but remained in the game. Manager Dave Roberts said Taylor would get treatment and testing prior to Game 6.
Minter struck out seven of the 10 batters he faced as the first pitcher in MLB history whose first start came in a postseason game. The fourth-year big leaguer became the first pitcher — starter or reliever — with seven strikeouts in three innings or fewer in a postseason game. He had already matched his career high before striking out the side — all on called third strikes — in the third before leaving with a 2-0 lead.
After Marcell Ozuna and Travis d'Arnaud had consecutive singles to start the third for Atlanta, there was one out when Dansby Swanson hit a sinking liner to right. Betts made a running catch, with his glove skimming the ground before his throw home was late. But the Dodgers challenged that Ozuna that left third base early — and it became the Braves third out instead of their third run.
"We were able to get a stop," Betts said. "Yesterday we couldn't stop the bleeding. Today, we were able to get a stop right there and put some pressure on them."
Umpires and the off-site replay crew needed nearly two minutes to make their ruling, but Dodgers fielders — and even Braves runners — had already left the field after watching the play on the big video board.
"It's not always on the offensive side that you get the spark," Seager said. "A big play in a big moment you get some energy."
Right after that, Seager's leadoff homer to straightaway center in the fourth cut the Dodgers deficit to 2-1.
Rookie center fielder Cristian Pache made a leaping try at the wall, but the ball went just behind his extended glove. But Pache did time things up in the eighth, robbing Muncy of a homer with a nearly identical play.
The Braves scored in both innings off LA starter Dustin May. Freddie Freeman doubled, went to third and scored on d'Arnaud's sacrifice fly in the first, and Pache had an RBI single in the second. D'Arnaud added an RBI groundout in the eighth.
CATCHER COMEBACK
Smith became only the third catcher in Dodgers franchise history to hit a go-ahead home run in the postseason. The last was Steve Yeager in Game 5 of the 1981 World Series of Ron Guidry of the New York Yankees. The other was Roy Campanella, who did it twice: in Game 3 of the 1953 World Series and Game 3 of the 1955 World Series.
FIRST RBIS
The 21-year-old Pache, who has played in only two regular season games in the big leagues, has an RBI in each of his four NLCS starts. He became a starter after outfielder Adam Duvall's left oblique injury in the series opener.
LOT OF RELIEF
Minter hadn't started a game since his junior season at Texas A&M in 2015, the same year Atlanta drafted him in the second round. He had made 144 relief appearances (139 regular season, five playoff games) the past four seasons for the Braves, along with 77 minor league games, before his first professional start.

Any smokers here? Wanna quit?
Re: Any smokers here? Wanna quit?
Some flavours cause more throat hit than others, especially citrus ones.
If you want something smooth I recommend a blend of 70/30 VG/PG as opposed to 50/50 VG/PG.
It's the PG that can catch your throat, not the VG.
PG carries flavour well and VG creates good clouds.
Two years into the vapeland. No smoking, not at all.
I tried sub Ohm, however I found that a lower than 3mg might work for me. Well, it didn't.
Hello Michalis, hope you are well. Not spoken to you in ages!
Really great news on quitting tobacco, you must feel a whole lot better.
I'm still smoke free after 4 years now.
I'm on 3mg nicotine, still doing DIY liquid. I've been slowly cutting down the amount I vape too. I don't think I could ever smoke a cigarette ever again, it would feel totally alien.
I currently mix three main flavours.....Pinkman, Mangabeys and Veuve Red. I only buy larger bottles of flavouring now too (100ml+). Saves lots of money.
Veuve Red is from ExtraDIY Paris......one shot flavouring @ 15%.
Pinkman is from VapoursRUs UK.....one shot flavouring @ 15%.
Mangabeys is a mix of 5 flavours from Vapable website @ 17%.
Here is my Mangabeys recipe if anyone wants it. Tastes very complex, rounded and tropical. The dragonfruit rounds it off. Really tasty.
No sweetener necessary. Flavour Apprentice is also called Perfumer's Apprentice.

Yes, there seems to be more vapers than smokers over here now. There are vaping bars, lounges, cafes, coffeeshops, etc..
The TPD regulations came in but they haven't affected me at all because I make my own juice. I can still buy everything I need no problem and it's still just as cheap.
Tank sizes are now 2ml (give or take) and bottles are being sold in 10ml units now (lol).
Has anyone used/tried the nicotine salts instead of the standard nicotine liquid?
Just made a small pledge to this guy in the hope that it will help him make his documentary. His last documentary, A Billion Lives, was excellent.
Concerned about how addicated I still am to nicotine...And not sure how much Nic I am actually vaping.
I vape a lot more than I used to smoke.
I rolled up a cig from my 16/18Mg tobacco and bugger me, it gave me the spins. Not pleasant.
So I think this tells me 8Mg will be about right. And I am definitely needing less Nic than I used to.
I am not an early bird or a night owl, I am some form of permanently exhausted pidgeon.

U.S. DOT Bans Hand-held Cell Phone Use – Part 2
By The Flanders GroupMarch 8, 2012August 22nd, 2018Uncategorized
Continued from our Monday blog…
As of January 3, 2012 the Department of Transportation (DOT) has banned the use of hand-held cell phones by commercial truck and bus drivers. The rule applies to all interstate commercial vehicle drivers as well as intrastate drivers who haul hazardous materials. Drivers who violate the ban could face civil fines up to $2,750 for each offence and drivers who have repeat offences could face disqualification. Under the new rules, companies that allow their drivers to use hand-held cell phones could face civil penalties up to $11,000.
Q: What about push-to-talk phones (Nextels)?
A: Yes. Provided the driver does not reach for, dial, or hold the actual mobile telephone in his/her hand while driving and the driver is able to touch the button needed to operate the push-to-talk feature from the normal seated position with the safety belt fastened. Generally, the use of this type of communications equipment does not require drivers to take their eyes off of the forward roadway because the button used to enable the driver to communicate can be operated from the normal seated position with the safety belt fastened. For example, if the mobile phone is mounted in a cradle or similar device near the driver, or there is a remote push-to-talk button near the vehicle controls to allow the driver to communicate without reaching for, dialing, or holding the actual mobile telephone in his/her hands while driving, the equipment may be used.
Q: Is dialing a phone number allowed under this rule?
A: No. Dialing a mobile telephone while operating a CMV is prohibited by the rule. A driver can initiate, answer, or terminate a call by touching a single button on a mobile telephone, earpiece, steering wheel, or instrument panel – comparable to using vehicle controls or instrument panel functions, such as the radio or climate control system.
Q: Are holders of a commercial driver's license (CDL) subject to the regulation only when driving a CMV or any vehicle?
A: CDL holders are subject to the Federal rule only when driving a CMV.
Q: Can a driver reach for a mobile telephone even if he/she intends to use the hands-free function?
A: No. In order to comply with this rule, a driver must have his or her mobile telephone located where the driver is able to initiate, answer, or terminate a call by touching a single button while the driver is in the seated driving position and properly restrained by a seat belt. If the mobile telephone is not close to the driver and operable while the driver is restrained by properly installed and adjusted seat belts, then the driver is considered to be reaching for the mobile phone, which is prohibited by the rule.
Q: What is required of the employer in terms of company policy or training?
A: The rule does not require motor carriers to establish written policies in terms of company policy or training programs for their drivers. However, employers are prohibited from allowing or requiring their drivers to use hand-held mobile phones. The DOT has made it clear that the company is responsible for its drivers' conduct. Therefore, It is strongly suggested that every company have a written policy prohibiting the use of hand-held cell phones while driving, and that they have each driver sign a copy of that policy.

A masters in physical education and coaching degree combines elements of education, curriculum design, injury prevention, and physical activity to teach how to effectively create curriculum and apply coaching principles.
These, plus other topics, help you understand the principles of each and how you can apply them to your career in the classroom and as a coach in various sports.
In 2015, there were 2,021 master's degrees in physical education teaching and coaching awarded.
Many programs ask that you have a bachelor's degree from a similar or related subject, such as kinesiology. In addition, some schools look for applicants who have earned their bachelor's degree with a 3.0 GPA or higher. Other schools may not be as strict in their admissions requirements.
Another requirement of some schools is that you have an interview with a professor in the department either in person or on the phone. These differences are why it's important you check with a variety of schools before applying.
While these programs have a similar overall structure and share common curriculum, each program may focus on a different aspect of the field. For instance, sport science and human performance programs usually focus more on physiology. On the other hand, education programs focus more on the different aspects of instruction design and creating lesson plans.
Some schools offer a master's in physical education with different tracks depending on whether or not you are a licensed and practicing teacher for elementary and secondary teaching positions.
For instance, schools that offer an initial teaching certification as part of the coursework for the master's degree, usually have more courses and assignments that focus on curriculum design and include student teaching to prepare you for and to meet your state's certification requirements.
Every program has a unique design, especially when it comes to the variations in degrees mentioned above.
For instance, some programs customize your coursework depending on your educational and work experiences.
This is especially true for programs that offer an initial teaching certification, which are usually designed for students with a bachelor's degree in an area other than physical education who want to pursue careers as an elementary or high school teacher.
As mentioned, those programs that offer initial teaching certification also include student teaching assignments to meet your specific state's certification. This usually includes a certain number of hours a course that reviews what you've learned, challenges you've faced, and minor assignments.
Many masters in physical education and coaching degree programs also require that you complete a capstone or portfolio project, which usually includes samples of exemplary work that reflect your ability to plan and implement dynamic physical education programs.
Physical education provides children and teens an opportunity for physical activity, as well as lessons on the skills and knowledge to establish and sustain an active lifestyle.
As Americans continue to battle obesity, physical education may be one of the contributing factors to help children understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, different ways to remain active, and the negative effects of a sedentary life.
According to new data, nearly 40% of American adults were obese in 2015 and 2016 and 7.7% were severely obese. This is a sharp increase from 2007 and 2008, when 33.7% of American adults were obese and 5.7% were severely obese.
When pursuing a masters in physical education and coaching degree, the key concepts you'll study are similar to other subjects in education, simply with a physical education tilt.
Therefore, your coursework, research, and portfolios will consist of applying current theories in the field in order to effectively teach students the benefits of physical activity, but also life lessons that they can apply to other classes and other aspects of their life.
Usually, courses while earning your physical education master's degree focus on different elements of coaching. Some programs may offer concentrations in coaching, while others may offer more courses in the elements of coaching in specific sports.
Some of the key topics you'll study while pursuing a master's degree in coaching education, while similar to a physical education degree, are tailored more towards effectively guiding athletes to achieve their goals as individuals and as part of a team.
Philosophy and Ethics: in regards to the sport and the well-being of each athlete.
Safety and Injury Prevention: recognize high-risk situations and be properly trained in injury prevention and first responder care.
Physical Conditioning: implementing research-based, developmentally appropriate drills that support athlete development.
Growth and Development: tailor challenges to the age and skills levels of the athletes to create effective learning environments.
Teaching and Communication: plan and implement organized practices so athletes have a positive learning experience.
Sport Skills and Tactics: develop skills of all team members to create an efficient and successful group.
Organization and Administration: as the integral resource in the sport program, the coach must meet the needs of the athlete and serve as the key communicator.
Evaluation: how to make accurate and timely decisions, as well as an analysis of player ability and program needs.
These standards, while developed by SHAPE America, is recognized by the National Committee for Accreditation of Coaching Education (NCACE), which is the premier authority on coaching education in the United States.
The formats share many similarities and are academically equivalent. Mainly, the differences include how you access course materials, communicate with professors and classmates, and how you submit assignments.
In addition, many programs take two years for you to earn your degree as a full-time student, whether you choose to pursue your degree online or on-campus, though it takes part-time students longer to earn the degree.
The odds of high school football players to go pro is 1 in 6,000. For baseball, it is 1 in 4,000 and in basketball it is 1 in 10,000.
What Is the National Association for Sport and Physical Education?
The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) is the largest of the five professional organizations within the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, which was recently renamed as SHAPE America.
This nonprofit membership association strives to enhance the knowledge, improve professional practice, and support high quality physical education.
Keep in mind that many of the positions above only require a bachelor's degree. However, earning a master's may set you apart from other candidates and may qualify you for leadership positions.

Q: How to control memory usage and time of execution of a thread in .Net/mono? I want to provide a way to upload plugins (assemblies) to a site by users for a scripting propose. Through mono.cecil I can analyse those assemblies and limit access only to a predefined list of functions, but I also need to limit memory usage, execution time and kill the thread if it goes to overdraft this resources.
I think I can monitor the memory usage by the profiler api, but as I know there are no tools to abort thread with guarantee. Is there any way to abort thread with guarantee? Maybe I should run code using embedding mono and control the execution of thread in native part of an application, is it possible?

A: You could use Thread.Abort() as long as you don't allow the plugin code to ResetAbort().

A: Thread level control was not practical IMHO (anyone did that in the past). Typically you should consider process level control of memory usage or application domain level.


For students wanting to learn fundamental drawing with pastel skills, this class starts by creating a strong foundation to build upon. This class will be split into two parts. During the introductory phase, students will receive formal element training. They will focus on the basics of representational drawing: line, shape, color mixing and blending, contrast, and gradation.

During the second phase of the session, students will apply their learned skills to create a perspective drawing from life, photography, or imagination.
Future Drawing Basics classes will build upon the skills learned in this class. Drawing Basic classes can be repeated, there's always more to learn and practice makes perfect!


Feeding the souls of your ancestors by performing a ritual called Tarpanam when the Sun is the strongest enables you to receive your ancestors' blessings in abundance to renew your life.
Dr. Pillai says that it is extremely difficult to progress in life without ancestral blessings. According to the sacred text Brahma Purana, departed ancestors' souls are elevated beings equivalent to gods and deserve your Tarpanam offerings. Your ancestors, when appeased with special prayer offerings according to scriptures, can become your greatest benefactors.
Thai Amavasya is also one of the important New Moons to reduce the impact of Pitru Dosha, known as ancestral affliction. This affliction, which happens due to non-performance of Tarpanam (Ancestral Offerings), can impact you to a great extent and may manifest as prolonged illnesses, misunderstandings at home, no career progress, financial instability, and progeny-related issues.
Sponsoring Tarpanam on a New Moon is a great opportunity and the most effective means for feeding and potentially freeing your departed loved ones and ancestors. AstroVed's priests specialize in ancestral offerings that ensure that your genetic line is spiritually "well fed." Participate in Thai Amavasya Tarpanam offerings to help free the souls of your ancestors, the most significant act to also remove hardships in your life.
Thai Amavasya on Feb. 4th is the first New Moon after the Sun starts moving towards the Northern hemisphere. The most powerful way of feeding the souls of your ancestors is by performing Tarpanam ritual. Reciting the sacred Vedic text – Gokarna Bhagavata Saptaha on Thai Amavasya can liberate the souls, which have committed the worst sins. Participate in essential Thai Amavasya ancestral offerings to invoke the blessings of your ancestors to remove hardship in your life.
Please Note: We will not be shipping any Prasad after the Tarpanam, as it is generally considered inauspicious to possess the Prasad.
The most powerful way of feeding the souls of your ancestors is by performing Tarpanam offerings. Reciting the sacred Vedic text – Gokarna Bhagavata Saptaha on Thai Amavasya can liberate the souls, which have committed the worst sins. Gods, Goddess and Ancestors all reside in the Cow, so you feed your ancestors by feeding a cow during this special day. Finally, invoking Karuppasamy on this day can help stop curses coming from departed souls or ancestors trapped in the astral plane.
Participate in elite package rituals as you get to sponsor food feeding for the poor and needy as it is considered the highest form of charity, which enables you to receive the blessing of your ancestors and all celestial beings to invite prosperity into your life. The most powerful way of feeding the souls of your ancestors is by performing individual Tarpanam ritual at this most auspicious place. These sacred rituals prescribed in Vedas can help free the souls of your ancestors, the greatest act to remove hardships in your life.
Tarpanam is the essential ritual to resolve every kind of problem, and it is the greatest act you can do to help liberate your ancestors and help free your children from problems created by negative ancestral influences. AstroVed has upgraded its 1-Year Tarpanam Program with 4 great Powerspots decreed by scriptures as most powerful for offering ancestral offerings.
This one of its kind 1-Year comprehensive program with 44 Tarpanam offerings and 36 supporting rituals on the most auspicious days of the year for ancestral offerings can resolve bad ancestral karma and help you gain the blessings of your ancestors- who can be your greatest benefactors for your life.
Take advantage of this special opportunity to allow our trained priests to perform these important and essential ancestral offerings on your behalf, all year long.
Book you individual Maha Tarpanam at Kerala on Thai Amavasya day. Performing Individual Maha Tarpanam for your ancestors at Kerala on the day of Thai Amavasya can help elevate the souls of your ancestors and bring you their blessings to start anew with abundant health, wealth and loving relationship.
This sacred Homa invokes the blessings of Karuppasamy, who is a powerful combination of four archetypes namely, Kala Bhairava, Narasimha, Veerabhadra and Rudra. The blessings of Karuppasamy can bring divine justice and quickly drive away dark forces, falsehood, and treachery. Karuppasamy can resolve those problems that most often plague human beings in their desire and need for financial stability and success, relationships, children, employment, career, resolution of disputes, and anything else relating to the myriad conditions affecting human life.
The easiest way to access God's grace is to feed a person who is starving. According to scriptures, feeding the poor and needy is considered the greatest charity of all the charities. Donating food on a New Moon is considered an important ritual for attaining merit. Donating food to people can free you from problems and provide success in all walks of life. As you participate in food feeding services to people, you can attract positive energy and peace of mind.

Flamingo Land finally says sorry after family hit out over queues and Covid safety
The family said 'even with no covid it would have been hideous'
Jade McElwee
Sam DimmerAudience Editor
Flamingo Land has issued an apology over elements of Lindsay Roberts' trip (Image: Lindsay Roberts)
A theme park has issued an apology after a family said their trip was ruined by long queues and issues around Covid safety measures.
Mum Lindsay Roberts - along with her mum, dad, brothers, and their children - went to the theme park, which is two hours from Nottingham in North Yorkshire, on May 31.
They arrived at 10am, but their day was a long way from what they expected, Teeside Live reports.
The family criticised a lack of social distancing, people failing to wear masks indoors, long ride queues and ride closures during the trip, with Ms Roberts describing it as "hideous".
The 44-year-old has since received an email from Flamingo Land, more than six weeks after the trip, from customer services.
The email said: "We accept that the park was very busy during the bank holiday weekend and school half term week which resulted in waiting times which were longer than anticipated by guests.
"We are very sorry about that.
"We always strive to process our queues as quickly and as safely as we can and we want every guest to enjoy their experience with us.
"We also accept that from time to time during the day our rides may go offline for short periods.
"When this happens our team of engineers will work hard to ensure that the rides are back operating as quickly as possible for guest satisfaction."
It continues: "We would also like to reassure you that we have been and remain compliant with government guidelines regarding COVID-19.
"Although we were busy we were operating within our assessed capacity limits.
"During the pandemic, we have put a number of control measures in place across the site to create a safe environment for guests.
"As an outdoor attraction, a visit to Flamingo Land is a safe environment for guests to enjoy.
"All of our queuing aisles have social distancing markers for guests to use.
"These markers are still set at 2m intervals to allow guests to safely distance themselves from other groups.
"We have over 100 sanitisation stations around the park and these are checked and refilled daily.
"We accept that the rate at which we can replenish the sanitisers may not have met demand and have taken steps to improve this.
"There are also lots of signs around the park to remind and encourage guests to wear masks when indoors, comply with the rule of six and remain socially distanced from others.
"As frequently as we can we also use team members to reinforce these messages."

The spokesperson said the resort had since been visited by the Environmental Health Team at Ryedale District Council.
They reported that Flamingo Land was "compliant with guidelines" and provided "additional guidance on how we can help our guests enjoy a safe experience, which we have now actioned".
Flamingo Land has now offered the Teesside family a half-price return "to enjoy a better experience this year".
The response was issued before social distancing measures were axed as part of England's biggest step out of lockdown yet.
The Hartlepool woman previously spoke to Teesside Live about the "horrendous" Bank Holiday trip which set the family back almost £320.
She told of "two areas of complaint" including a "lack of covid safety" measures in place throughout the "busy" resort as well as a number of attractions that were closed or broken down.
The self-employed baker told how in the indoor areas, including the arcades, toilets and bar, "nobody was wearing masks".
She said employees were all wearing face coverings but there were few staff available to enforce the rules.
In a video, people can be seen using the arcade machines and queuing for a toilet - with nobody wearing a mask indoors.

Rob Wittman – For U.S. Congress


One cybersecurity catchphrase you'll hear these days is that "X is the new ransomware".
That's because the ransomware scene is no longer clearly dominated by long-running, well-known "brand names" (so to speak) such as CryptoLocker, TeslaCrypt or Locky.
In other words, many people are convinced that ransomware has had its day, is dying out, and new threats are taking over.
A popular value for the variable X in in the equation above is cryptojacking, where crooks sneakily insinuate cryptocurrency mining software onto your computer or into your browser.
Rather than snatching away your files, like ransomware does, cryptojackers steal your processing power and your electricity instead.
This means that the crooks earn a tiny bit of money from every victim for as long as they're infected, rather that taking the all or nothing approach of ransomare, where victims face a stark choice: pay and win, or refuse and lose.
The thing is, neither cryptojacking, nor indeed any other cyberthreat, is the "new ransomware".
If you must know, RANSOMWARE is the new ransomware.
This year, we've seen a carefully orchestrated ransomware campaign known as SamSam, where the crooks have settled on a new mode of operation.
…and then, almost casually, offering a "volume discount" to fix the entire company in one fell swoop.
The prices above are denominated in BTC (Bitcoin), and they seem to be adjusted each time so that the all-you-can-eat discount price works out at about $45,000.
At BTC0.80 per PC, but "just" BTC5.00 to decrypt your whole company, it's almost as though the criminals are doing you a favour!
We don't know why the price is $45,000. For all we know, that number was picked because it's below certain reporting threholds, or because the crooks want to pick the highest value they dare without getting into corporate board-level approval territory. All we can say is that $45,000 is a lot of money.

Aviation Minister pledges to change law to legalise writing in the sky
The Aviation Minister Baroness Sugg CBE has promised to update UK law to allow for the practice of Skytyping and other forms of sky writing in the UK. The move follows pressure from parliamentarians and aviation aerobatic experts to change outdated legislation, which currently bans writing anything in the sky.
In a letter from the Aviation Minister, sent after the all-party group contacted the Transport Secretary to point out the absurdity of the current law, Baroness Sugg confirmed that the Department for Transport will consult on amending secondary legislation to reverse the current ban on Skytyping and other forms of sky writing.
Skytyping is a technique whereby an aircraft emits smoke in a series of precision bursts to form lettering and words in the sky. The smoke output is generated by an electronic master plan. But whilst the practice has been allowed in countries such as the United States for decades, it has always been illegal in the UK.
Despite Parliamentary time for dealing with the amendment being limited until after the UK has left the European Union, Baroness Sugg says that the General Aviation community should "be assured that the CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] and the DfT [Department for Transport] are very keen to take this Skytyping project forward as soon as Parliamentary time allows".
Welcoming this commitment from the Minister, the Chair of the all-party group Grant Shapps MP said: "The All-Party Parliamentary Group on General Aviation has just returned from a successful fact-finding visit to the United States, where Skytyping has been allowed as a communication tool to reach millions of people for decades.
"Our 173 strong cross-party group of MPs and Lords thought it was high time that the UK updated its outdated laws on sky writing, so we contacted the Secretary of State to ask him to intervene. We warmly welcome this new commitment from the Aviation Minister, pledging to overturn this bonkers ban on UK Skytyping.
"We want to see General Aviation fulfill its potential to expand high-tech jobs and growth in the UK and updating antiquated laws which hold back aviation is a key part of our mission. It's clear that the Government has a long way to go to fulfil its policy of making the UK the best country in the world for General Aviation, but this is a positive step in the right direction, and the all-party group looks forward to helping the Minister deliver this promise."

Hello, Tigers! I recently read an article entitled, "Challenges that teens face today". I realize that this is a huge topic to discuss in a blog, but I wanted to write about a few key points from the article that I agree with, the first point being that we need a standard for our behavior. Allow me to explain.
Regardless of what we are facing in life, whether it be the challenges that you face as a teenager or challenges that I face as an older adult, we need a standard for living. At Ely High, we have the student code of conduct that each of you sign and agree to abide by throughout the year. Teachers at Ely also have a code of conduct that we all sign and agree to adhere to as well. If you or I break Ely's code of conduct that we signed and agreed to uphold, we will be asked to leave Ely High.
All societies need a measurable standard for behavior. When a society fails to live up to a standard of morality, that society crumbles. We can see this evident in the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Moral decay was down fall of both the Greek and Roman Empires.
So in life I believe that you need to have your own, code of conduct, so to speak. Maybe the code for your life comes from your faith or your family's ideal for you. Nonetheless, we all need to know where we draw the lines in morality. Without getting too spiritual on a school blog, I have my own 'rules for life'. My standards come from my faith and I live within those standards. I also do not bring people close to me that don't have the same moral standards that I have. Remember the saying, "birds of a feather, flock together". It's hard to hang out with the bad crowd and do the right thing. It is easier to surround yourself with people doing the right thing if you want to do the right thing. Simple.
So, here's my first bit of advice; chose your friends wisely. Eliminate bringing into your life bad things by not putting yourself in the situation for bad things to come to you. Hang out with friends that have the same moral standards that you and your family hold.
Secondly, have confidence in yourself...know who you are in life. I feel that I am a worthy person so I will not sell myself short. I must see my own self-worth in order for others to see the value in me. We will get into this deeper later. This is huge!
Lastly, be a leader, not a follower! This is huge too. A great topic for discussion.
I know that you all have short attentions span so I will take the three bits of advice that I gave you today and I will expand upon them separately in another blog post in order to give you the armor that you need to get through the 'battle of life' as a teenager.
I believe that if you can understand and master these three things in your life now, you will breeze through the challenges that you face today as a teenager. Tonight in your journals write about 'your own personal code of conduct'.

Q: javascript / jquery: how do I get javascript to trigger a key typed event, with a specific key? I want my script to pretend like it is actually typing, so that the rest of my scripts that listen for changes work. Just trying to do some automation here.
Anyway,
How would one get javascript / jquery to prentend to type, say a space?
I tried this:
typeBox.val(" ");
typeBox.trigger('keypress');

But it doesn't work?

A: You need to pass the event into the trigger call
var e = jQuery.Event("keypress");
e.which = e.charCode = e.keyCode = 32;
typeBox.trigger(e);

Read the docs here:
http://api.jquery.com/trigger/
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/event-object/

A: <script type="text/javascript">
function textsizer(e){
var evtobj=window.event? event : e //distinguish between IE's explicit event object (window.event) and Firefox's implicit.
var unicode=evtobj.charCode? evtobj.charCode : evtobj.keyCode
var actualkey=String.fromCharCode(unicode)
if (actualkey=="a")
document.body.style.fontSize="120%"
if (actualkey=="z")
document.body.style.fontSize="100%"
}
document.onkeypress=textsizer
</script>

A: have a look at jQuery.trigger and jQuery.Event
var e = jQuery.Event("keydown");
e.which =//someKeyValue **
typeBox.trigger('keypress', e);

**someValue

Hudson Valley Made Movie Set To Premiere Nationally Friday
A movie filmed primarily in the Hudson Valley starring Seann William Scott and executive produced by Keanu Reeves will debut in theaters nationwide on Friday.
This is not the typical role you'd expect from Scott who is often remembered as the lovable Stiffler from the American Pie movie franchise. According to Variety, in Already Gone, he plays an abusive stepfather who tries to pimp out his girlfriend.
The movie also stars Shiloh Fernandez, Justin Skye, and Tyler Dean Flores. The Hudson Valley Film Commission reports, it was directed by Chris Kenneally and was filmed on location in the Town of Ulster, Woodstock, Kingston, and Saugerties. More than 90 local crew were hired and they stayed in the Residence Inn by Marriot Kingston, Holiday Inn Express along with a number of local Airbnbs.
Kenneally had some nice things to say about his experience in the area. Almost Gone was known by the code name 'Green Dolphin' when filming locally.

Jens Jonas Schroeter Jansen (19 September 1900 – 26 October 1975) was a Norwegian archivist.

He was born in Bærum as a son of vicar Jens Jonas Elstrand Jansen (1844–1912) and Jenny Therese Schroeter (1863–1942), and brother of Einar Jansen. In 1937 he married Hjørdis Sofie Berg.

He finished his secondary education in 1918 and graduated from the Royal Frederick University with the cand.philol. degree in 1927 with a master's thesis on the Treaty of Björkö.

He worked in the National Archives of Norway from 1936 to 1956, and also worked as a consultant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1949 to 1952. He was then the manager of Norsk Historisk Kjeldeskrift-Institutt from 1953 to 1970. He is also known as a co-editor of the biographical dictionary Norsk Biografisk Leksikon from 1954. He chaired the union Arkivarforeningen from 1938 to 1947 and was a board member of Kjeldeskriftfondet from 1940 to 1945 and of the Norwegian Genealogical Society from 1949.

In private relations, he used the very conservative pre-1907 orthography. He died in 1975.

Attorney General Balderas Refuses to Investigate Top Donors Despite Possible Ethics Violations

Attorney General Balderas Refuses to Investigate Top Donors Despite
Possible Ethics Violations
Albuquerque, NM- After Attorney General Hector Balderas has refused to investigate Representative Kenny Martinez for allegedly offering capitol building office space to his top lobbyists, the New Mexico Republican Party is providing a document that explains why. The two lobbyists, Natasha Ning, Drew Setter and their clients were major financial contributors to Balderas's past political campaigns. Also, Natasha Ning's business partner is Balderas's political consultant.
"Attorney General Hector Balderas has refused to investigate his top donors despite the serious ethical questions that were raised by local media," said Pat Garrett, Republican Party of New Mexico spokesman.
Local news broke the story about two lobbyists, Natasha Ning and Drew Setter, who were possibly given office space in the New Mexico State Capitol free of charge to conduct their private lobbying business. Official documents also reveal that Natasha Ning's business partner is Caroline Buerkle, Balderas's paid political operative. The Republican Party of New Mexico compiled several campaign finance reports that showed these lobbyists and their clients donated a combined $15,000 to Hector Balderas's campaign for Attorney General.
Balderas is often seen as a rising star in his party, and recently the Albuquerque Journal's Editorial Board slammed Balderas for using his office to advance his own political ambitions as well as those of his party. They said it could create a dilemma of impartiality.
Questions surrounding these issues continue to go unanswered, and it is clear Balderas is protecting his financial backers, political operatives as well as his own party.
"New Mexico deserves a fair and transparent investigation into this matter," Garrett concluded.
The recorded donations along with the proper campaign finance reports are attached to the press release.
Further background information can be found below:
In February, Local News Broke The Story Concerning Allegations That Rep. Kenny Martinez Gave Office Space To Two Lobbyists Who Donated To His Campaign. "It's common practice these days for lobbying companies to donate thousands of dollars to lawmakers' campaigns or political action committees. Skeptics of the system criticize the system, saying that is how lobbyists 'buy votes.' But there are new allegations that perhaps one lawmaker gave two lobbyists more than just his votes; it's alleged he also gave his office space. Rep. Kenny Martinez (D-Grants) served as Speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives for two years. But when Republicans won the majority of seats in the House during the November mid-term elections, Martinez Lost His Post And High-Ranking Republicans Started Digging." ("4 Investigates: 'Did A Lawmaker Sell The Keys To The Capitol?'" KOB News, 2/2/15)
In April, An Albuquerque Journal Editorial Said That The AG's Impartiality And Political Bias Could Become An Issue. "When the attorney general of the state of New Mexico is asked for a legal opinion, or to seek redress in a civil matter, or to look into prosecution of an alleged wrongdoing, you expect that office to carry out its duties irrespective of party lines. Ditto when the state auditor is doing the work of that office to ensure public money is being used as intended and that all is accounted for. These are offices that should by definition inspire confidence fueled in part by a sense of impartiality. They are supposed to be governed by rule of law and protect the taxpayers' bottom line." ("Editorial: New Mexico's AG, Auditor Should Take High Ground," Albuquerque Journal, 5/29/15)
They Then Accused To AG Of Jockeying For Position In The Next Election. "Yet this month both AG Hector Balderas and Auditor Tim Keller, as they jockey for position in the next election, have sent out emails not just scrounging for donations, but specifically asking either for money to knock Republicans out of office and keep and elect their fellow Democrats or to support 'candidates who will join in our fight. …'" ("Editorial: New Mexico's AG, Auditor Should Take High Ground," Albuquerque Journal, 5/29/15)

Q: Pine Script v5 bug with bool inputs initialized with constant non-bool values (does TradingView actually care about bugs?...) I have so far found two quite severe bugs in Pine Script v5. And here is another one.
This is not really a question, rather, I think people can benefit from this if they encounter such behavior too, hopefully I can save them some time.
So. Pine Script is supposed to accept float and int in place of bool, converting them to bool based on common programming language logic (0 = false, anything else = true). Any sane programming language is also supposed to store converted variables as their end product. Like, if I have assigned 2 to a bool variable, it should store "true", not "2".
Not so in Pine Script... Here is an example:
// This source code is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/
// © AVAndronov

// CONSTS

OVERLAY = false
BUG_CONST = 2.5

//@version=5
indicator("My script", overlay = OVERLAY)

bool bug_input = input.bool(BUG_CONST, "Display Close 1")
bool bug_free_input = input.bool(BUG_CONST ? true : false, "Display Close 2")
bool bug_var = BUG_CONST

//this one will bug out
plot(bug_input ? close : 0, color = color.red)
//these two will work
plot(bug_free_input ? -close : 0, color = color.green)
plot(BUG_CONST ? close : 0, color = color.purple)
if barstate.islast
    label.new(bar_index, 0,
     str.tostring(bug_input)
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_input == true ? "true" : "not == true")
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_input == false ? "== false" : "not == false")
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_input ? "? true" : ": false")
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_var)
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_var == true ? "true" : "not == true")
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_var == false ? "false" : "not == false")
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_var ? "? true" : ": false")
     +"\n"+str.tostring(bug_free_input) )

The result produced will be:
1. In script inputs window, both checks will be checked.

2. Flat red line, price displayed on green and purple lines.

3. Label:
false
not == true
== false
: false
2.5
not == true
not == false
? true
true

What we can observe here is this:
1. When you assign non-bool to a bool, it doesn't actually store a bool. Instead, it stores whatever you have assigned!
You can see I am using "str.tostring" on "bug_var", a bool variable of type const bool (can be verified by hovering over it in the editor). But it displays 2.5! So it actually stores the float inside. Not a bool.
2. When you assign non-bool to a bool, it behaves like that value sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't
You can see I call "bug_var == true" and it results in false, because bug_var is not equal to true, it's actually equal to 2.5. == false also results in false, it's not equal to false either! However, when I later do bug_var ? :, it results in true, because bug_var evaluates to true when put in place of a bool.
So it's a bool that isn't equal to true, isn't equal to false, but evaluates to true. What a unique bool....
3. When you assign a non-bool to an input bool, it misbehaves in a different manner.
The input interface of tradingview website thinks it is true, however, the code thinks it is false. So when you check this input, it will be false for all intents and purposes, it will be == false, it will evalutate to false in ?: conditionals.
4. At least if you do "FLOAT ? true : false" or "bool(FLOAT)" it will work properly
Note however that it will NOT work if you do FLOAT ? 1 : 0, as that will produce same result as above (it will be considered false everywhere if you assign this to an input bool, and it will be true in checks and false otherwise if you assign this to a variable bool).
Closing words.
Hopefully I'll save some time for other people as I've spend literally an hour thinking WTF is wrong with my code until I figured out its a language bug. Thing is, I don't understand, does TradingView even care?
So far as a novice programmer to Pine Script I've found three severe bugs, two of which can easilly cause dozens of programming hours lost debugging something that isn't even programmer's fault.

*

*This one

*I found out insane TradingView bug with timeframe.in_seconds()... what to do?

*Pine Script "script has too many local scopes, the limit is 500" - What is / counts as a local scope?
Once I have been offered to contact them via support, but they don't provide answers to non-paid members. Do they even care? Does anyone know how to get an answer from them without paying them money?...

A: Definitely looks like a bug. I relayed it to the Pine team.

A: I'm being told that the fix for this behavior has been released.

"Nice ship, but I wish we would have sailed a little more." Sound familiar? Unfortunately that is the common comment from those who take a voyage on a sailing cruise, with visions of relaxing on deck under sails filled and driven by nature's wind. Mechanized, or "push-button" sailing ships, make it all too easy to push a few buttons and set the sails when entering or exiting a harbor, but the itineraries are planned for motoring cruise ships, trying to fit in as many ports as possible and leaving little time for the true sailing experience. Sailing on Sea Cloud is different. Sea Cloud is a true tall ship, built to sail, with itineraries planned to include the experience of true square-rigged sailing. Sea Cloud is the real deal.
Technically, Sea Cloud is not a ship, but a four-masted barque. In traditional tall ship jargon, a ship is a vessel with three masts, all of which are rigged with square sails that hang from yards, or spars, that are mounted on the masts crosswise to the direction of the ship. In the good old days, each of the three masts would have three square sails: a mainsail, a topsail, and a topgallant. When you "gave it the whole nine yards," it meant that you were setting all three sails on all three yards of the ship, going full out. A ship that only had its first two masts square-rigged, and the aft mast rigged with gaff sails like Sea Cloud, is not a ship but a barque.
And because Sea Cloud was built to impress, she was built with an additional mast and a length of 109 meters (360 feet), making her a glorious four-masted barque.
It takes about 45 minutes to set the sails on Sea Cloud, an hour to take them in, and as a square rigged tall adventure cruise ship, Sea Cloud cannot sail into the wind. That means that the itineraries must be planned to allow plenty of time for sailing, with consideration for prevailing winds, and lots of latitude in time and distance for reaching the selected and prioritized destinations. The captain must consider the probable wind direction and speed, set Sea Cloud in sunrise position, and decide on which of the 30 sails to set for the optimum sailing toward the next destination.
"Brace to starboard!" comes the Captain's call to the bosun, and suddenly the decks are alive with activity. Lines wrap around capstans, mast riggers call orders, the massive yards and yardarms start to swing, and guests try to avoid the coiled lines and line-handling on the Promenade Deck while snapping endless photos through our Caribbean adventure cruises.
"Set squares in order" is the next command, and like a well-oiled machine each of Sea Cloud's three mast teams begins hauling sheets, slacking lines, and hauling halyards in a clearly orchestrated flurry of activity. We notice a marked silence as the engines are cut, and suddenly we are breathless, overwhelmed with the majestic glory of cruising under sail on a tall ship like Sea Cloud.
"Inner, outer, and topmast staysails" are the finishing commands, and we shift our views to the triangular jibs and staysails that complete the scene as the sailors haul on the halyards. The entire sailing ship Sea Cloud is nothing but smiles, and unending camera shutters, as we begin to settle in to our favorite deck areas and bask in the incomparable thrill of a tall ship under sail. The Spanker Deck, the Blue Lagoon, the Monkey Deck, the Bridgewings and the foredeck all fill with delighted guests, smiling with the wonder of children, lost in an experience that in this day and age is almost unimaginable. But on the small ship adventure travel with the Sea Cloud, it's only day one.

Q: datatype info over socket; dynamic initialize? I have data coming over a socket that looks like this:
(h)(int,char,float,int,char)(/h)(d)(2,a,1.32,45,d)(3,d,3.45,32,a)(/d)

The datatype of the data arriving is dynamic and is only known when the header is received. I then have to create corresponding std::vectors to store the data. In this case, two int, two char and one float vector. I don't know how to initialize in such a case. Can someone help me out?

A: std::vector can't do this by itself. It sounds like you need something that resembles Boost.Any or Boost.Variant, you'll need to decide which. If you have a small number of types, a simple union might work as well.

A: I think I understand. If a union contained all the datatypes, I could use one of them at any point of time and it can be initialized with the name of the union. Brilliant. Thanks!

Thomas of Chobham (also called Thomas Chobham or Thomas of Chabham), was an English theologian and subdean of Salisbury, who was born c. 1160, presumably in Chobham, Surrey, England, and died between 1233 and 1236 in Salisbury, England.

Thomas Chobham studied in Paris in the 1180s, likely under Peter the Chanter.  He is best known for his influential work on penance which combines Canon law, theology, and practical advice for confessors.  It is known by many titles, and there has been much confusion over both author and incipit, which is often related as Cum miseratione domini. More fully and correctly, this should be "Cum miserationes domini sint super omnia". The title is based on Psalm 144:9.

Flacius Illyricus, for example, in his entry on Thomas Aquinas in his Catalogus Testium Veritatis 1556, considers this work to be by Aquinas and gives the incipit: "Commiserationes Domini sunt super omnia".
