There has been a lot of talk recently about 'Force Majeure', in the context of the itinerary disruptions that occurred as a result of the Norwegian strike. I thought I'd investigate what it actually means and what difference it makes, so hey ho! it's time to read the small print in the terms and conditions pages of the brochures.
So those are the definitions. When does Force Majeure become significant?
Clause 40 of P&O's T's& C's – 'Alteration and Cancellation by P&O Cruises prior to departure' – allows P&O to "cancel the contract or to change and/or curtail the Package where this reasonably become necessary on operational commercial or other grounds". So, as long as it's before you depart (and the meaning of 'depart' isn't clear), they can change the cruise itinerary if they have to. However, the contract also says that if they do this they have to inform the passenger or his agent. Then it says: "The Passenger will have the choice of either accepting the alteration, accepting an offer of an alternative package of comparable standard if available ….. or cancelling the Package and receiving a full refund of all monies paid".
So when P&O were offering refunds last Friday it wasn't out of the goodness of their heart, it was purely according to the terms of the contract: the alteration was made before departure so section 40 above applied. However they didn't have to go further than a full refund because it was declared to be Force Majeure, and therefore further compensation beyond a refund wasn't due.
What about Fred Olsen? Balmoral was already at sea: she sailed on 29 May and it was only on 31 May that, after arriving in the vicinity of Stavanger her captain pointed her eastwards and she headed off towards the Kiel canal and on to Warnemunde, etc. What position are her passengers in? Well, clause 8.5 would appear to apply. This is in a long section about Liability, and it mainly defines conditions in which FOCL's liability is limited. Clause 8.5 says "No responsibility is accepted for loss or damage to you [i.e. the passenger] by failure to perform the contract…… where the failure or improper performance happens without fault on the part of FOCL …… because: ….. (iii) it is due to unusual or unforseeable circumstances due to an event of Force Majeure which is beyond the control of FOCL, the consequences of which could not have been avoided by due care, or an event which FOCL …. could not foresee or forestall……". No mention there of cancelling and getting a refund if you're part-way through the cruise, and no mention of compensation.
So that's my understanding of Force Majeure, and how it could affect your next cruise! Now for the weasel words: please note that I am not a lawyer and this post is not intended as any kind of legal opinion. If any reader finds themselves in the sort of position outlined above, they should of course seek their own legal advice, and should not take this post as guidance.
I think that the situation with the FOCL cruise to Norway was 'foreseeable'. The closure of the ports began on 24th May, when talks broke down on the 23rd May. It was predicted that the strikes would spread to other ports. 28th May many of the ports used by cruise ships closed. These events were occuring prior to the cruise departing from Southampton on 29th May.
How does this affect those who had made late bookings during the days leading up to the Balmorals departure. Whilst strikes in themselves in Norway are unusual, FOCL must have been aware of the situation in Norway, the port closures, and prepared 'contingency plans' to change their itineraries, prior to departure. Yet FOLC still continued to accept late bookings without informing people, or giving them a choice.
Thank you for lookiing into the definition of force majeure. However you are wrong to suggest that Balmorel was in the vicinity of Stavanger, she changed course abruptly to starboard, which was visible throughout the ship on screens, mid afternoon on the 30th. An announcement from the Captain stated that due to industrial action we would be unable to enter Bergen until about 5.30pm on the 31st. An hour or two later he announced that the cruise to Norway was cancelled and that as it was a case of force majeure there would be no compensation. Uproar ensued when the changed itinerary was announced, involving transit of the Kiel canal, a visit to Warnemunde in Germany, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and the icing on the cake, Zeebrugge. None of these places was remotely an acceptable substitute for the fjords of Norway.
Our argument with the use of force majeure is that FOCL must have been aware of the strong likelihood of strike action closing other ports after Oslo, and therefore it was not unforeseen.
If any lawyers out there can help with an opinion as to whether this argument might work in our favour should we have to take them to court, we would be grateful.There is no doubt that had they cancelled the cruise before sailing we would not have accepted the alternative and should have been refunded appropriately.
Thank you for the clarification, Sheila and Jacqueline. I must admit that I wasn't following Balmoral too closely that day, but I had thought she was close to the Stavanger/Bergen area. Perhaps I was getting her mixed up with another ship – 'Mein Schiff 2', perhaps, which was in that area and which headed west towards Kirkwall.
As to whether or not FOCL are correct in their interpretation of the application of clause 8.5 (iii) to the events in question, I'm not going to speculate. However I do understand the frustration and disappointment that you and the other passengers were obviously feeling.
Melvyn – I don't think I've got any notes to compare. I wasn't on the cruise. What I did was explore what the various contracts seemed to be saying about Force Majeure, and the impact it could have. I don't have a view as to whether declaring it was reasonable or not, because (as I say) I wasn't there.
Hi Sheila, from what i gather it can depend on who sells you the cruise – was it a travel agent? when you were sold the cruise, and your expectations of the cruise. If you have any type of legal advice cover – often from car or home insurance, it is worthwhile contacting them. Also, if you purchased by credit card, it might be useful to have a chat to them. And if you specifically only considered that destination.
I do believe that they knew before they sailed that unless the strike was called off, they could not go to the fjords. The idea that they booked a 'private' pilot to bring the ship into port is ludicrous. It takes far more than that to get a ship into dock, for example: a boat and pilot to take the 'pilot' to the ship. Dock workers to manage the ropes. Custom officers were on strike??? The metereological martime were also on strike, as were police, teachers, airports etc.
P.S. did you fly home?
I did receive a full refund, as it was deemed that the travel agents had failed to supply me with "duty of care".
Jacqueline – thanks for the update.


Hi, can anyone give me the code to download large files ( more than 700 MB) in asp.net. I am using Response.Write which is not working.
It's notoriously difficult to deal with large file downloads in Web applications, so for most sites, woe betide users if their download gets interrupted. But it doesn't have to be that way; you can make your ASP.NET applications capable of serving resumable large-file downloads. While you're at it, you can track the download progress so you can handle dynamically created files—and you can get all this without old-fashioned ISAPI DLLs and without unmanaged C++ code.
Describes a problem that occurs when you cannot download large files from an ASP.NET application on a computer that is running IIS 6.0.

Musah Yussif, 45, has been lynched for sporadically shooting five persons at 'Agric', a suburb of Tamale.
Mr. Yussif is said to have gone to a funeral ceremony to attack one Kambo Naa. In the process, he rather shot bystanders and injured five of them.
Northern Regional Crime Officer, Superintendent Bernard Baba Ananga in an interview with JoyNews monitored by GhArticles.com said some of the victims are in critical condition on admission at the Tamale Teaching Hospital. The remaining two have been treated and discharged.
According Superintendent Ananga, the Police received a distress call that someone came to the funeral grounds with a gun and disturbed public peace.
He said a team of officers were dispatched to the scene where they reported that one person was found lying in a pool of blood. Their suspicion was that the person was lynched.

Superintendent Ananga added that a team of investigators who also visited the scene reported that the deceased was lynched.
According to the crime officer, the Police have invited one Kambo Naa for questioning, while investigations are underway.
He said initial investigations showed that Kambo Naa seems to have had a problem with the deceased, hence his being invited by the Police to assist in investigations.
Superintendent Ananga said details of the investigations would be made public in due course.
A group of notable Ghanaian personalities who have identified themselves as Concerned Mobile Network Subscribers have served notice of boycotting the ongoing SIM card re-registration exercise.
According to them, they are ready to risk losing their SIM cards; hence, have set aside Tuesday, February 8, to embark on a nationwide protest dubbed 'No Calls Day'.
They added, "any attempt to impose this [SIM card re-registration] on subscribers or block their lines would amount to an infringement on their property rights."
"On that day, we call on all Ghanaians not to make or receive phone calls as a way of registering our disquiet about the circus surrounding the SIM card re-registration exercise," they announced in a release dated January 13, 2022.
The group includes a former Kumbungu Member of Parliament, Ras Mubarak; Dean of UG's School of Law, Prof. Raymond Atuguba; President and Vice President of IMANI-Africa – Franklin Cudjoe and Kofi Bentil; Private Legal Practitioner, Samson Lardi Anyenini, and Investigative Journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni.
"The 'No Calls Day' boycott on 8th February would be the first in a series of national boycotts to protest the current inhumane process of re-registration of SIM cards."
"There is no law in Ghana that requires Ghanaian mobile network subscribers to "re-register" their SIM cards," they argued.
Below are their demands:
READ ALSO: Dr. Yaw Adutwum Responds To NDC On Free SHS And Double Track[Video]
The National Communication Authority (NCA) should immediately withdraw its directive for mobile network customers to re-register their SIM cards by 31st March 2022.
When the appropriate legal framework is in place, a re-registration exercise can be done without having subscribers spend productive hours and several days in long queues in the midst of a ravaging Covid-19 pandemic.
There's understandably a need to eliminate crime. But the fight against criminals must be within the law.
We therefore demand that the NCA and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) must come up with a better and innovative way of re-registering the SIM cards by first amending existing law; and secondly to do so without the current inhumane re-registration process we are witnessing.
They stressed that "if the NCA and the MNOs fail to heed these demands, we shall, starting Tuesday, 8th February, 2022, begin the first of a series of planned boycotts until the rights of customers to be treated with dignity, are respected."
Other members who signed the release are Kofi Kakraba Pratt, Dr. Kwesi Owusu, James Afedo, Selorm Branttie, Francis Kofi Korankye-Sakyi, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo, Kwame Mfodwo and Michael Ofori-Akuffo.
Following a projected 40 pesewas per litre increment in petroleum products, the Institute for Energy Security has explained that petrol and diesel may sell at GH¢7 per liter each for the first time from Sunday, January 16, 2022.
According to the energy think tank, prices of fuel at local pumps saw a 3 percent increase in petroleum products with prices per litre rising from GH¢6.50 pesewas to GH¢6.70 pesewas in 2021.
The IES in a statement said "on the back of the 7.42% increase in the price of Brent crude, the 9.46% increase in the price of gasoline, the 8.52% increase in gas oil price and the 0.3% depreciation of the local currency against the US dollar; the Institute for Energy Security (IES) informs consumers to remain expectant of a further increase in fuel prices at the pumps, between 30 pesewas to 40 pesewas per litre.
"The imminent price increases, it said may force some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to sell gasoline and gas oil at ¢7per litre at the pumps for the first time."
READ ALSO: Africa Football: 2021 Africa Cup of Nations Rescheduled
On January 3, 2022, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers-Ghana (COPEC-Ghana) also predicted an increase in fuel prices in the next few days.
COPEC said the prices of petrol and diesel are expected to go up by 3.7% and 2.5% respectively.
It said ex-pump prices of petrol and diesel are expected to increase by 24 pesewas and 17 pesewas respectively.
In a statement on Monday, January 3, 2022, COPEC said "The average surge for both products in nominal terms is 20 pesewas representing 3.1%. Some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) could increase their prices less than the 20 pesewas increase due to competition."

The Syntheist Node, the Node or simply Noden in Swedish is a radical experiment in community building. We started from scratch in late 2015 - with nothing but 600 m2 of abandoned office spaces and the post-atheist vision of Syntheism - and have since then become a techno temple, a burner playground and a year around place for a wide variety of co-created and non-profit workshops and events. Amongst countless other things, real or imagined. What unites the activities taking place is that they are all created with the intention of bringing people together, ideally contributing towards reinforcing a sense of purpose and meaning in our everyday lives.
Hundreds of people come through our doors every week to visit this "home away from home" and we believe that we have, more often than not, succeeded in our mission of creating a liminal third space. By that we mean a transitional - and hopefully transformational - threshold or "twilight zone" in between the public and the private realm.
A place where you are not quite home yet also not quite in a club or at a cafe. You are rather somewhere inbetwixt and between where wondrous things can and frequently do happen. Where things are open to change, and perhaps so are you. To some that can take the form of a cuddle puddle, and to others an interactive seminar on blockchain technology, a free jazz concert or a rave in complete darkness. But only if you and others actively choose to make it so by taking and sharing the necessary responsibility.
It genuinely becomes what we make of it. If there is no absolute and higher meaning then we are free to co-create it among ourselves. We create God, not the other way around. And that's something to celebrate and explore!
This - in a nutshell - is The Syntheist Node.
And the XKCD comic above says it better; affirmative nihilism.

Endiandra muelleri is a rainforest tree of eastern Australia. Its habitat is in warm temperate rainforests on poorer soils. Distributed from the Allyn River in the Barrington Tops region in the south to Kroombit Tops to the north in central Queensland.

Common names include Mueller's walnut or green-leaved rose walnut. The tree is not a walnut, being a laurel. It is named after the prolific colonial botanist, Ferdinand von Mueller.

Subspecies
There are two types of Endiandra muelleri, this plant Endiandra muelleri muelleri and the endangered Endiandra muelleri bracteata. For the differences in the sub-species, see Endiandra muelleri bracteata.

Description
Endiandra muelleri subsp. muelleri is a tree reaching 30 metres tall with a trunk diameter of 75 cm. The base of the tree may be buttressed and flanged. The brown bark is irregular, with craters, depressions, and loose plates of bark. Leaf bearing twigs are green coloured with fine flat straight hairs. New shoots feature bright pink or red leaves and fawn coloured hairs.

Leaves are 6 to 12 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide. Green, shiny and smooth on both surfaces, paler beneath. Leaves broad lanceolate to elliptic in shape with a leaf stem from 3 to 6 mm long. Occasionally one to four hairy tufts or bumps are seen on the underside of the leaf, next to the joining of leaf veins and mid-vein on Endiandra muelleri subsp. muelleri.

Flowers, fruit and regeneration
Greenish pink flowers form on panicles from the leaf axils in the months of November to January. With Endiandra muelleri subsp. muelleri, the perianth lobes are hairy on the outside. The fruit is blackish/dark blue drupe, 15 to 25 mm in length. Maturing from March to April. The fruit is eaten by a variety of birds, including the rose-crowned fruit dove, regent bowerbird, superb fruit-dove, and wompoo fruit-dove. It is advisable to remove the flesh from the seed before sowing. Germination occurs after around two months.

Discussion in 'Made With Unity' started by duchan, Oct 17, 2017.
I have just published my first mobile game and I would like to share result with you. This is my first unity project and took a while till I was able to finish it to some playable form. I'm a busy man so this is only my free time relax. I hope you'll enjoy it and share some comments if you like it or not. Or tips how to make it better. Thanks!
You can control the ball by tilting your device and jumping by taping.
UPDATE: or use on-screen controller.
You can check more screenshots HERE.
Today I was able to finish video trailer. Check it out!
- Added option to use "on screen controller" instead of tiling device.
New update is published in Google Play. It's bigger and contains new stuff and fixes. I hope you'll like it.
New update is published in Google Play. I hope you'll like it.
all levels are now FREE !
That looks like a really neat little game. Having a range of game mechanics like the falling floors and balance boards is exactly what this sort of game needs. I really liked knocking over the plank to reach the next island.
Going only on the video that you have attached, I do not know if you have changed the camera handling but tracking the ball 100% as it does makes it a little abrupt at times, particularly when jumping. Consider lerp-ing the camera to the target position. It will create a smoother, more polished, feel and allow the eye to better track the action.
Out of interest, how many downloads have you achieved with this?
game was released on Oct 2017 without any advertisement. November and December I was looking for ways how to promote - so not really many downloads. In half of January I've stared with promoting with adwords. for Jan it was about 13 installs/day in Feb about 27/day. Not much but it is getting better. I have only about 900 installs so far.
The new update is published in Google Play. This time mostly focused on performance optimization.
still working on the game when time is available.
With all due respect, the graphic looks very incomplete.
Dancing Line has same art style as this but they looks solid.
It's all about color usages but hard to describe details in words.


This one has been blogged about by ScottGu already, but for completeness, here it is. The ASP.NET Ajax scripts are now hosted in a Microsoft CDN, and you can tell ScriptManager to load them from there by simply enabling this property. For virtually no work you get better performance, less bandwidth usage, and a cleaner rendering due to those ScriptResource.axd urls going away from your HTML. Do read the linked post for details. But wait, there's more!
What has not really been blogged about is this: The EnableCdn property isn't only for ASP.NET Ajax scripts. Even the scripts in System.Web.dll are on the CDN. So if you are using a GridView, TreeView, or Validators, for example – those scripts will load from the CDN, too. It wouldn't have been the best experience if only only some scripts were affected by this setting, right?
But what if you are using custom scripts, or 3rd party controls? How would that work? Here's how.
Now, there's a new property on WebResourceAttribute: CdnPath. Don't get too caught up on the fact it's a hard coded url. More on that later.
ScriptManager looks for this property when the EnableCdn property is set to true, and simply uses that path instead of the ScriptResource.axd path to the assembly resource. Pretty simple. And this means that you too can provide your own CDN paths for your own assembly resource scripts. As for where to host your script, well, that's up to you.
ScriptManager does some interesting and useful things, like: script combining, serving scripts from assemblies, script localization, script globalization, removing of duplicate references, automatic switching between debug and release scripts, and now automatic switching to a CDN. Trouble is, it comes with a bit of a tax: It always includes the Microsoft Ajax library (MicrosoftAjax.js), and by default, MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js (for partial rendering support with UpdatePanel). The partial rendering script could be removed by setting EnablePartialRendering=false, but there was no way to disable MicrosoftAjax.js. So if you wanted to use the useful features of ScriptManager without using MicrosoftAjax.js, well, you couldn't (although Bertrand once blogged a way of hacking it by making use of it's de-duping process).
The AjaxFrameworkMode property adds two new modes to ScriptManager's behavior. Enabled (the default, and the same behavior as before), Explicit (does not include any scripts by default but still assumes Microsoft Ajax is to be utilized), and Disabled (does not include any scripts by default and does not assume Microsoft Ajax will be used).
So here I have a ScriptManager that is including a custom script, without also loading MicrosoftAjax.js or any of the inline script it normally produces.
MicrosoftAjax.js still exists, too, which is now considered a composite script of all these scripts. The one (*) exception is that MicrosoftAjaxApplicationServices.js is now its own script, not part of MicrosoftAjax.js, and so must be included explicitly even if you don't use Explicit mode and you want to use any of the application services.
Keep in mind when using this mode that you are "on your own" with determining which parts of the framework you need. This is strictly for those of you who want to lower the footprint of your pages by a little bit. MicrosoftAjax.js in ASP.NET 4.0 is somewhere around 98kb, which is gzipped when served, which takes it down into the 30kb range (numbers from memory – and by the way, these numbers are lower in the recently announced ASP.NET Ajax Beta release on CodePlex by the CodePlex foundation). By comparison, jQuery is something like 20kb once gzipped. So it's not going to make a big difference, but every bit counts! You can use the existing CompositeScript feature of ScriptManager to include the separate parts of the framework and yet still have them served as a single script.
Oh – yes, these scripts are all also on the CDN and work with EnableCdn, of course.
Now, that is still going to render as an 'AXD' script -- to ScriptResource.axd. The scripts still live in an assembly, after all. But a feature you probably didn't know about with CompositeScripts (and has been there since ASP.NET 3.5 SP1) is that you can point them at static paths just like regular ScriptReferences. For ultimate in performance and a clean HTML rendering, you can not only combine all those scripts into one, but have them referenced via a simple static script block too. No more 'AXD' with a long, encrypted query string.
Now you can just use simple assembly name. The caveat to this is you do at least need to have the assembly in your bin, or it must be referenced in the <assemblies> section of your web.config. Otherwise, the simple name could be ambiguous to multiple versions in the GAC. In the previous example, notice I used only 'System.Web' when overriding WebUIValidation.
The assembly is assumed to be System.Web.Extensions if not specified. With this script reference, now even if script controls on the page registered a requirement for MicrosoftAjax.js, this one would be recognized as the same script thanks to the Name being the same. A static reference on ScriptManager trumps all, so your custom path wins, thus replacing the assembly reference with a path one (and worth noting – it still supports auto switching to the debug version and to localized versions).
What if I want every page in my app to do this? If you're using a Master Page, you may only have a few ScriptManager's to deal with, so that may not be so bad. But even then, there's a maintenance factor here.
What if I am using a 3rd party component and it does not define a CdnPath? Is there any way to make it work with EnableCdn if I can host it somewhere myself?
What if I want to change which CDN is used for a particular resource (remember, we hard coded the path earlier)?
How can I get the benefits of automatically switching between debug and release scripts for a non assembly-based resource?
How can I get the benefits of automatically switching between debug and release scripts for a script like jQuery that does not use the ".debug.js" naming convention?
To be fair, #4 was already possible by explicitly setting the ScriptMode property on the script reference – but we'll see a better way now.
ScriptResourceMapping to the rescue. Think of ScriptResourceMapping as a static/global location into which you can describe all the details about a particular script resource: a logical name for the script, it's debug and release locations, what assembly it lives in (if any), and what it's debug and release CDN paths are. With all that information, ScriptManager can make smarter choices about how to handle a script reference and makes your life easier.
For example, let's say you want to include jQuery via a ScriptReference.
But wait – what about jQuery-1.3.2.min.js? You should definitely be using the minimized version in production. But in a debugging environment, it's better to use the non-minimized version so if you ever need to step into jQuery code, you can actually understand what is going on.
And what about EnableCdn? That's not going to work with this since ScriptManager doesn't know about this script. It's just some script in your project. Yes, you could just put the full 'http://...' path in there. But having to remember that path every time you need it is not very nice.
Now I can simply reference jQuery by name, just like MicrosoftAjax.js (only I don't even need the '.js' part).
Because ScriptManager knows the path to jQuery's release and debug versions, it switches automatically just like it does for MicrosoftAjax.js.
Because ScriptManager knows jQuery's CdnPath, the EnableCdn feature will toggle using it on/off just like it does for MicrosoftAjax.js.
Beautiful. You can use this to redefine the CdnPath for an existing script, too. For example, say you don't like the fact that MicrosoftAjax.js loads from the ajax.microsoft.com Cdn. Or, say you are using some 3rd party controls, and they don't define a CdnPath, but you happen to know of one that uses it (or even, the 3rd party published a Cdn after they shipped the product). Just create a mapping and set the CdnPath. Done. For the entire application.
But wait, there's even more. The jQuery example shows how you can map a simple name to a static script. But a script resource mapping can also be used to map a name to an assembly resource.
Or, map an existing assembly resource to a static path.
Or, map an existing assembly resource to a different assembly resource.
Don't forget you can also use this to change where the MicrosoftAjax*.js scripts come from.
This gives you a lot of control over where scripts come from. Now your pages can utilize ScriptManager's advanced features, without necessarily depending on MicrosoftAjax.js, and without having to hard code paths to scripts or to assembly resources. Now your pages can be a semantic definition of the scripts your page requires – and the details are all in one location. And when the need arises, you can change where those scripts come from, no matter where they came from originally.
Not really a feature of it's own – but a consequence of the others worth noting. Because ScriptManager can now deal with System.Web scripts or any scripts regardless of which API is used to register them, it is now possible – for the first time – to get rid of all WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd urls from the HTML rendering. And you can do it without touching your pages due to the ScriptResourceMapping feature. And what's more – because of the CompositeScript feature, you can also get them all combined into a single, static script file, with a simple, beautiful url. Or better yet – let Microsoft handle the bandwidth, and use the CDN!
1. Can we put it in the head of the page, instead of in the form?
2. Are you planning a similar control for CSS? Or support for stylesheets in the scriptmanager?
Point 2 is really important for visual components.
Looks great, but have they fixed the ScriptManager to work without a server form? Otherwise, it's useless for MVC, or for any other page that doesn't require a server form.
Currently, you can have a ScriptManager/ScriptManagerProxy on a page without a server form by setting the SupportsPartialRendering property to false, but none of the registered scripts will be included in the HTML output. This is because it uses the ClientScriptManager class, which has its scripts rendered from the internal BeginFormRender/EndFormRender method on the Page class, and these methods are only called from the RenderChildren method of a server form.
We need some sort of script placeholder control which would render the registered scripts when a server form is not present. If there's no script placeholder, the scripts could be rendered before the end of the HTML body tag, or, as a last resort, inside the page header.
Until this issue is fixed, I find it difficult to get excited about improvements to the ScriptManager control!
Looks great, but can you use it without a server form?
In v3.5, the ScriptManager uses the ClientScriptManager class, which only renders the scripts when a server form is rendered. If you set the SupportsPartialRendering property to false you won't get an error, but you won't get any scripts either!
With regard to "you can also get them all combined", there used to be a restriction that limited the combind url to 1024 characters (or something). This meant that if you specified more than say 10 files for combining, you'd receive an exception. Has any fix or work-around been provided for that?
How well will this play with asp.net mvc 2?
Great Post! I dont know about you but ur code blocks are kinda difficult to read might want to change the styling a bit.
@Mike -- answer to both is no, but I appreciate the feedback.
@Mark -- yes, the limit was increased to 2048, which I believe was as high as it could go for IE. That should help a lot. But regardless, you know, if you hit the limit the workaround is to use the 'path' property on the CompositeScript to point to a static combined script. That's better for performance anyway and sure looks cleaner in the HTML.
Ahh fantastic. Just the improvements I was waiting for.
Many thanks for summarizing all the goodness of the scriptmanager to anticipate.
This is going to be very helpful!
I hope there will be a way to declare the ScriptResourceDefinition stuff in the web.config file, and not just in code!!
Can you point me to the legacy method for replacing system scripts with static copies? Thanks!
Can you add WebServices to the composite Script somehow?
Mapping WebUIValidation.js in System.Web works fine with full page loads, but with partial post backs, the ScriptManager sends out the System.Web script. Any ideas why?
any ideas why some files (the webform stuff etc) seems to work fine with enablecdn, but a couple others (appears to be the ajax files?) still are served via scriptresource.axd? you see the results in this website: http://www.deadlywind.com .
@Drew -- the name and assembly are together the key to identify the script. You are giving it an assembly, whereas your mapping is not. Or, they aren't the same. If you don't specify an assembly in the mapping, don't specify one in the script reference either. Also, a null/missing assembly is treated semantically identical to the assembly being System.Web.Extensions (as in typeof(ScriptManager).Assembly), so they are interchangeable, should you have to specify an assembly for some reason.
Can somebody tell me specifically (preferably with a URL that downloads the actual file(s)) what version of the Ajax Control Toolkit I would need to download to get the "EnableCdn" attribute to work?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and .Net 4, but nothing I've tried will prevent "ScriptResource.axd" and "WebResource.axd" from loading off my local system instead of using the CDN. I've also tried adding "asp:ScriptReference" tags and pointing them to various releases of the libraries on the Ajax CDN, and that results in version mismatches (and lots of JS errors) between the Microsoft Ajax scripts and the Ajax Control Toolkit scripts.
It seems to me (and possibly I'm making the wrong assumptions after reading this article) that setting "EnableCdn" to TRUE would fetch both sets of JS files from the Ajax CDN. But nothing I'm trying seems to work.
Check out the answer linked in the StackOverflow question. Also linked below via Stackunderflow.js.
Tried it, and variations of it, and the versions just don't seem to align correctly between the Microsoft Ajax scripts and the Ajax Control Toolkit scripts (signature issues of some sort).

Camila Cabello Sings 'Cry For Me' & 'Easy' For 'Saturday Night Live' Debut
Camila Cabello put on not one, but two stunning showcases for her musical guest spot debut on Saturday Night Live this weekend. For this Saturday's broadcast (October 12) of the late-night sketch comedy series, the songbird hit the stage to deliver "Cry for Me" and "Easy" live for the first time on TV.
Her first presentation brought it all the way back to the era of Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution, as Cabello belted all the high notes of "Cry for Me" in an elegant red and white ensemble while a cast of backup dancers performed beside her. The songbird toned things down for her closing number with the television premiere of "Easy," as the 22-year-old, dressed in a dove-white gown with a plunging neckline, reeled the audience in with a vulnerable rendition of her romanti new single.

Who Is Rebecca Latimer Felton? The 24-Hour Georgia Senator Has A Very Complicated legacy
By Margaret Judson
Allison Shelley/Getty Images News/Getty Images
There has only been one female senator from Georgia in United States history, and even then, she only held the position for one day. To this very day, Rebecca Latimer Felton is the only woman to represent the state of Georgia in the U.S. Senate, but many people may not have heard of her. So, who was Felton — and why is she so important to remember as we close Women's History Month?
Born in 1835, Felton was a journalist for Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, but was better known for her political career, most notably as an active suffragist. She also ran her husband's, William Harrell Felton's, successful campaigns to become a member of the Georgia legislature and a U.S. Congressman. (He served in Congress from 1875 to 1881.)
Felton made her 24-hour seat on Oct. 3, 1922. Her single day as a Georgia senator was unique for a number of reasons: She was the first female Senator in the state, she was the only female Senator the state has ever seen, and she was the oldest freshman senator to enter the Senate at almost 88 years old.
While Felton's story of a brief Senate stint has some inspiring aspects, it may be difficult for modern Americans to revere here. Felton was openly opposed to giving black Americans equal rights. She was also a proponent of lynching. As the Wall Street Journal noted, Felton "played a central role in having an Emory University professor fired because he had written an article opposing lynching and advocated equal justice for blacks and whites."
Moreover, behind all the significant firsts of Felton's Senate appearance, there was possibly a sneaky motive, according to the official U.S. Senate page. The then-governor, Thomas Hardwick, had resisted women's suffrage, putting him on the wrong side of history and thereby losing a lot of the newly-available woman's vote. In an attempt to appeal to female voters, Hardwick decided to make himself responsible for getting a woman in the Senate — and, of course, it was a largely-symbolic gesture.
In her first and only Senate speech, Felton called herself, "the happiest woman in the United States." She went on to giver her appointer credit, saying: "Georgia is the first state in the federal union composed of 48 states where one chivalric governor went to the front and said, 'Send that old lady there and let her look at the Senate for even a day.'"
Felton continued, addressing the president in her one speech:
I want to say further that I commend to your attention the ten million women voters who are watching this incident. It is a romantic incident senators, but it is also a historical event," she explained, "Let me say, Mr. President, that when the women of the country come in and sit with you, though there may be very few in the next few years, I pledge you that you will get ability, you will get integrity of purpose, you will get exalted patriotism, and you will get unstinted usefulness.
As we close Women's History month, it's important to remember Felton in totality — not only for what she meant for white suffragists, but what she meant for civil rights in the South.


I'm an ENTJ. I'm a purple Quality Street – I look soft like toffee round the edges, but when you get to know me I'm a pretty hard nut to crack. I'm an Enneagram Type 1. I am 'Mr Spock' personified. So it has come as a bit of a surprise to find myself recently overwhelmed with emotion. A particularity wonderful parishioner was reaching the end of her life, and my prayers were torn between a) wanting her to be spared more pain and b) wanting, very badly wanting, for God to heal her.
I know intellectually that her death this week is a blessing, and she was ready to meet her God, in whom she trusted with considerably more conviction that I could muster at her bedside. But my heart is bewildered, and reluctant to let her go. I met her properly on the day before her diagnosis of terminal illness, and have journeyed with her, and her family, through these last weeks. She has walked closely with God, a woman of faith and courage, honest, gracious and dignified. I just didn't want her to die.
It will be a privilege to be part of her funeral, and to continue to journey with her family. But a part of me will be angry with God that our world is not yet part of the new creation, and that she cannot be made whole NOW. I believe that the second coming may still be some time off – but can't it come a bit more quickly… It's all very difficult for an emotion-phobe.


A look though the newspaper for an affordable apartment was our first clue that we were no longer in the little leagues. In northern Michigan, we had both paid around $100 a month for a room. In LA, we were shocked that we were going to need to shell out more than $400 a month for an apartment. In one of those apartments, we saw termites floating in the toilet and realized that we needed to adjust our baseline. I don't remember exactly what we paid for our first apartment--I think it may have been closer to $500 a month--but I do remember it was on the second floor of a indistinct complex. It had two rooms and a very small kitchen, and we decorated it with two lawn chairs and a blow-up mattress.
I went to work immediately, and Tom filled his days building a resume and scouring the paper for jobs. Since we had only one car, Tom drove me to and from my office.
Shortly after we moved in, a neighbor knocked on the door and invited Tom to play poker. George was very tall, fair, mustached, and he smoked a pipe. He managed a local Friendly's, I believe, and was desperately in love with a Mexican woman whom he was trying to bring to California. He and Tom became fast friends and often spent afternoons lounging around the pool. I don't recall George being a good influence on Tom, but I do recall that he made killer potstickers.
Another set of neighbors, a couple from India, recently had a baby. The woman often knocked on our door to chat or to bring us Indian snacks. She also often paced back and forth in front of our living room window, singing to her baby. I have to admit that we sometimes didn't answer the door when she knocked, as it was difficult to bring her visits to an end.
About two weeks after we settled in, Tom was in a Kinko's getting resumes copied. When he walked out of the store, he saw that "some poor fella's parked car had been hit." Then he realized it was our car, totaled by a guy who only tell Tom, "I hit car."
Another two weeks later, it rained. We walked outside to crisp, clear skies and were shocked to discover that we lived about a mile from the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, which we had never seen due to the smog.


Jacqui Terrill Cooke, FNP-C, CNM, has been a nurse practitioner seeing patients ages 0 to 100 for over 15 years, and loves working with patients and families to improve their health. She believes that each individual is unique and treats them accordingly.
Jacqui strives for a small town doctor feel: she limits the number of patients accepted to be able to spend time with them (though sometimes it gets a little crazy because she tries to help as many as possible and keep her patients from having to go to urgent care or the ER), and is available as much as possible by phone after hours and weekends when needed.
She combines this expert, compassionate approach with natural treatments, prevention, and the most up to date research to best care for each of her patients at Sunrise Family Clinic.
Born and raised in Oregon, Jacqui graduated as valedictorian of her class from Western Mennonite High School. While in high school, she had the opportunity to spend a summer working in an orphanage in the Dominican Republic, where the health care horrified her, stimulating her interest in the profession.
2) While at George Fox, she met Shawn Cooke, her husband since 1999.
Jacqui worked as a RN at Providence Newberg Hospital for over four years, returning to OHSU to complete her Masters of Science as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2003 and post master's degree as a nurse midwife in 2004.
Jacqui and Shawn have two delightful sons, Caleb, born in 2008, and Lucas, born in 2016. The Cooke family has resided in the hills outside McMinnville since 2004. When she has time, Jacqui enjoys spending times outdoors with her family (gardening, camping, hiking, biking, kayaking), playing games, doing crafts and learning with her boys, and reading.


On Sunday 20th March we will be having a very special service to say farewell to Pastor Eric and his wife Rena. Please come along and join us. Service starts at 10:30 with refreshments after.
We have a packed Easter programme for you so be sure to make a note of these in your diary.

Webinar—Marriages Here, There, and Nowhere: Finding Gretna Greens and Borders
Many couples chose to marry in a location away from their home. Often there were reasons why it was a more convenient location to tie the knot. Sometimes, this decision was based on a romantic location or a place that would allow them to marry quickly without a three-day waiting period. These locations are often referred to as Gretna Green, the historic town in Scotland where thousands of English couples ran because of Scotland's sympathetic marriage laws. We will consider the reason for a different marriage location, alternate sources to determine the location, and a few of the towns known as "Gretna Greens" in the United States.

Zaki Organics is skin care made from only certified organic or wild-crafted ingredients. This means our ingredients are provided by nature and have not been altered in the process of getting them to you. Real, raw ingredients like plant oils and botanicals are more effective than chemicals and synthetics. We are exposed to so many toxins daily. Let Zaki Organics help eliminate the ones in your skin care.
Our business was born out of the need for purity in personal care products. After developing severe allergic reactions to the synthetic ingredients in most products found on the shelf, many people make the switch to organic. Unfortunately, this doesn't always solve the problem. Many so called "all natural" or "organic" brands and products have the same ingredients as the regular brands. There is virtually no regulation of personal care products and this leads to confusing labels and untrue claims. Most of the time consumers are paying more but most definitely not getting better products. Many high end brands have the same toxic ingredients and fillers as the drug store brands. In creating Zaki, much time has been dedicated to researching which ingredients are safe and effective for skin care. Zaki has been created to meet high standards in skin care using only pure and natural ingredients.

AI can predict which research will translate to clinical trials
Posted: 11 October 2019 | Victoria Rees (European Pharmaceutical Review) | No comments yet
Researchers have created an AI model that analyses the citations of studies, predicting their potential for eventual clinical application.
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict which scientific discoveries are more likely to translate to the clinic.
The study was conducted by researchers from the Office of Portfolio Analysis (OPA), part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The team say that their aim is to decrease the long interval between scientific discovery and clinical application.
The new process determines the likelihood that a research article will be cited by a future clinical trial or guideline. The researchers quantified these projections as a novel metric called Approximate Potential to Translate (APT).
The algorithm makes predications based on the content of research articles as well as the other articles that cite them within the first two years of their publication.
According to the team, these APT values can then be utilised by other researchers and decision-makers to focus attention on studies that have high translational potential.
As citation data is often restricted due to licensing agreements, the OPA aggregated information from publicly available resources in an open citation collection (NIH-OCC). This currently contains over 420 million citation links at present and will be updated monthly.
UK to launch seven data hubs to garner insights for improved healthcare
This collected data is used to calculate both APT values and Relative Citation Ratios (RCRs). RCRs are a measure of scientific influence at the article level, information previously developed by a team at the NIH.
"By integrating information about the number and type of citations a paper receives, we demonstrate here that a machine learning system can reliably predict the successful transfer of knowledge to clinical applications," write the researchers in their paper.
The findings were published in PLOS Biology.

A company that provides a tool for pilots and crews to view and share rosters, and another which connects travellers with local professional photographers around the globe, are among the 12 businesses named in the inaugural cohort of Qantas' accelerator programme.
The AVRO Accelerator, named after the airline's first aircraft, has taken on six startups and six scale-ups for a 12-week programme designed in partnership with corporate accelerator Slingshot.
Selected from just under 500 applications, the companies – from both Australia and the US – will be put on one of two development streams depending on their maturity.
Startups will accelerate their product development and customer traction, supported by a structured curriculum and mentorship program. The scale-ups will work closely with relevant Qantas Group business units and potentially conduct a pilot, commercial and/or investment deal, the airline said.
The companies joining the programme are start-ups Aeroster, Coverhero, easyshare, Landmarx ID, Leezair, and Travelshoot; and scale-ups Birch, BoozeBud, LoanDolphin, Meeco, Pawshake and Volantio.
A number of them look set to bring obvious benefits to Australia's flag carrier airline. Volantio, for example, "optimises unit revenue and marketing performance for the travel industry" it says, while Aeroster is behind the airline staff roster sharing tool.
Others appear to operate outside Qantas' domain. LoanDolphin is a loan bidding marketplace in which banks and brokers compete for users' home loans; Pawshake is an online market for "loving and trustworthy pet minding services"; and BoozeBud is described as an "alcohol discovery and delivery platform".
Each stands to receive up to $150,000 of funding from the Slingshot Venture Fund, and perks provided by AWS, Adobe, Bizspark Plus, IBM, Salesforce, Wework, MYOB, Xero, Alibaba Cloud, Hubspot, SendGrid, Zendesk, Autopilot and Dropbox.
John Bush, co-founder of easyshare – an app for sharehouses that collects and pays residents' share of rent and bills – said he was honoured to be accepted on the scheme.
"This presents a valuable opportunity for us to leverage Qantas' network and support to accelerate our business growth objectives," he said. "We're excited to use this platform to expand our customer base and help simplify sharehouse living for more Australians."
Almost 40 per cent of applications to the AVRO Accelerator were from scale-ups, Qantas said, and 30 per cent came from outside Australia.
The initiative was announced in March with the intention to take on ten companies.
"Customer needs keep evolving and the limits of technology are constantly expanding, so there is a clear business imperative for us to find new ways to improve how we operate," Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said in a statement at the time.

The Trudy
ALWAYS NEVER BEAUTIFUL FOREVER, the brand new album by The Trudy is now in its 10th week on the Genepool Top 10. It spent two weeks at Number 1 and is currently at 5.
Here are some reviews:
Got to say that after a long wait for the album, it's excellent. There's not a single "filler" or disappointing track. This could well be The Trudy's very own masterpiece. Listen once and you can't help putting it on repeat. (Independent & Unsigned Show, 6 Towns Radio)
SOUNDS LIKE? Well, this is a band who are so in love with pure pop-rock that they do it extraordinarily well. If the world were a more fair and rational place Mark Chapman would have gone after Donald Trump and The Trudy would always be mentioned when we listed the biggest and the best of the pop-rockers, it'd be Fleetwood Mac, Voice Of The Beehive, Scissor Sisters, The Trudy, Alice Cooper and The Bangles. You put "Rocket Heart" on as loud as you can get it and you'll get the idea. So, I guess that answers the 'sounds like?' question, The Trudy sound like The Trudy and that's a fine distillation of pop styles, tricks, flashes, affectations and inspirations.
If you like pop, you will love this album and if you like rock, you will go ga ga for it and pretty quickly.
IS IT ANY GOOD? Yes, "Always Never Beautiful Forever" is a top pop album and it is an album, not a collection of singles, but there are no duffers and no fillers. Now, spin this shit. (Unpeeled)
Rocket Heart, the new single from The Trudy, is taken from their forthcoming album Always Never Beautiful Forever which is due for a release next month. The band have been going since the early 1980's and there are hooks and influences from each decade of their existence here resulting in a pretty damn near perfect pop song. (Records I Like – review for Rocket Heart single)
This single adds yet another instant pop classic to The Trudy's already swelling account of er…instant pop classics. (Masterdog Sings The Browns - review for Bucolics Anonymous single)
With 'Bucolics Anonymous' The Trudy have produced something worth getting excited about. (Whisperin' and Hollerin' – review for Bucolics Anonymous single)
We'll never tire of telling you The Trudy are the best pop pushing machine since Squeeze (Unpeeled – review for Bucolics Anonymous single)
'Bucolics Anonymous' is the second single to be taken from the band's forthcoming new album and embodies the happy-go-lucky and feel good charms of pop that this band do so well. (Is This Music? – review for Bucolics Anonymous single)
A lovely exercise in indie guitar rock, with some classic vocals courtesy of Melissa Jo Heathcote, and a nice line in clever witty lyrics (Whisperin' and Hollerin' – review for Dirt Cheap Melody single)
Genuinely classy and timeless pop and should be top ten in any civilised nation (Unpeeled – review for Dirt Cheap Melody single)
"Dirt Cheap Melody" is bold and bright and breezy pop music with the lid blown off and a fat rainbow bursting out. If it doesn't stick in your head, you'll need to get yourself to a hospital and ask them to check your skull for holes. You've probably got a leak somewhere.

Welcome to the first post-paper issue of NYRSF. This has been a long time coming. We first determined back in November of last year that this was the only way we could continue into volume 25. The sad fact is we were consistently receiving less money in subscriptions and back issue sales than we were paying in printing and postage, and something had to change. The happy fact is everyone has been extremely supportive of this move—our contributors most of all. It's been a ride.
One other factor that made the transition to paperless more necessary was the loss of our longtime printers, Odyssey. The company that took them over was capable of good physical work, but their customer service model really wasn't designed for small-press magazines. As a going-away gift, they took approximately four weeks to deliver copies of the August issues directly to Dragon Press, and we are getting reports of bulk-rate copies of that issue just now reaching subscribers in mid-September. Obviously, that's an unmanageable delay on a monthly magazine; it was not the first such delay, though it was by a wide margin the worst.
If you're reading this in the magazine, you know about our online publisher, Weightless Books. If you're reading this on the NYRSF web site, then by all means hie yourself hence to Weightless and sign on up! Individual issues (current and backstock) and 12-issue subscriptions await you! All you need is an e-mail address and either a Paypal account or a major charge card. (Sorry, Diner's Club, the future has passed you by.) You can get the issues either in magazine-format pdf or in e-reader-friendly epubs, your choice, drm-free, so once you buy it, you own it.
And diving even deeper into the post-paper future, we of course have a web site, a Twitter account @NYRSF, and a Facebook page, all under the able hands of our web maestro, Alex Donald. The newly active web site features articles from our issues, and as an experiment we've turned on comments on selected articles. We know our readers are, unfailingly, the wisest, most insightful people on the planet (you're reading us—qed), and if we can avoid the problems of trolls and spammers, we'll make a habit of it.
The ethereal future is nice, but it has been our plan all along to offer print-on-demand volumes in addition to the software versions. We seem to have landed at Lulu.com, through which we can offer bimonthly double issues (48 pages with a color cover) for $10 plus shipping. The entirety of volume 24 should be available there by the end of the month Just search on "NYRSF" or follow the links from our web site.
Further down the line, we'll be offering print-on-demand collections of entire volumes—12 issues in a single bound volume. We're still working out the details of that, but I hope to have something solid to announce before the end of the year.
Several of the NYRSF staff (David Hartwell, Ann Crimmins, Lisa Padol, Joshua Kronengold, Anne Zanoni, and I—did I miss anyone?) made it to Chicon 7, this year's Worldcon—see the photos elsewhere in the issue. I don't wish to speak for anyone else, but I had a tremendous time, as I always do at Worldcons. I wish that the facilities themselves had been less exhausting and better arranged for serendipitous conversations, but I went to a large number of events where the participants sparkled. So, success.
On the political front of the Hugo Awards: It was particularly gratifying to see the work of the Semiprozine Reform Committee ratified, which should make that category more reflective of the original intent, to reward publications that are not purely fannish but are also not professional. I was also very pleased by the changes to the Best Fanzine award, explicitly adapting to the ubiquity of online fannish discourse; by the already long-overdue adoption of the Best Fancast award; and by the permanent adoption of the Best Graphic Story award.
The Worldcon did throw us a bit off our timing, especially in the wake of the aforementioned problems with our printer. Our goal is to have the new issue available the first week of each month. "Monthly 'til we die," as David has said so many times. We expect the October issue will be significantly earlier in the month.
So. Forward. And thank you all for coming along.

Q: Flutter - How to use data from equal built classes? I want to build an app for my pupil which generates tasks out of sentence blocks.
For example I created two classes, apple and pear, with nearly the same structure. They return a question built out of the sentence blocks which are defined in the classes. In both classes is a GenerateQuestion()-function for that.
Now I want to build some kind of overclass, which picks a random class of i.e. apple or pear and then returns the strings from the functions. The functions names are the same, but I can't figure out how to get data from a random choosen class. Hoping for help. Thanks in advance.
Update: Here is the code I wrote so far (I tried to translate it properly):
import 'dart:math';

 int randomminmax1 = 0;
 int randomminmax2 = 0;
 int randomminmax3 = 0;

 List classes = [apple, pear];

 class overClass {

   static pickClass(){
     int randomClassItem = Random().nextInt(classes.length);
     print(classes[randomClassItem]);
     return classes[randomClassItem];
   }
 }

class apple {

  static String giveQuestion()  {

    randomminmax1 = 2 + Random().nextInt(15 - 2);
    randomminmax2 = randomminmax1 * (2+Random().nextInt(12 - 2));
    randomminmax3 = 2 + Random().nextInt(30 - 2);

     List value_1 = [" boxes", " bags", " bucket"];
     List verbs = ["cost","have a price of", "are offered for"];
     List value_2 = ["Euro"];
     List questionWords = [""];

     int randomIndexValue1 = Random().nextInt(value_1.length);
     int randomIndexVerbs = Random().nextInt(verbs.length);
     int randomIndexValue2 = Random().nextInt(value_2.length);
     String value = randomminmax1.toString() + value_1[randomIndexValue1].toString() + " apples" +  verbs[randomIndexVerbs].toString() + " " + randomminmax2.toString() + " " + value_2[randomIndexValue2].toString() + ".\n";
     String question = "How much are " + randomminmax3.toString() + value_1[randomIndexValue1].toString() + "?\n";
    return value + question;
  }

  static String giveAnswer(){
    double result = (randomminmax2/randomminmax1)*randomminmax3;
    return result.toStringAsFixed(2) + " Euro.";
  }
}

class pear {

  static String giveQuestion() {
    randomminmax1 = 2 + Random().nextInt(15 - 2);
    randomminmax2 = randomminmax1 * (2+Random().nextInt(12 - 2));
    randomminmax3 = 2 + Random().nextInt(30 - 2);

   List value_1 = [" boxes", " bags", " bucket"];
     List verbs = ["cost","have a price of", "are offered for"];
     List value_2 = ["Euro"];
     List questionWords = [""];

     int randomIndexValue1 = Random().nextInt(value_1.length);
     int randomIndexVerbs = Random().nextInt(verbs.length);
     int randomIndexValue2 = Random().nextInt(value_2.length);
     String value = randomminmax1.toString() + value_1[randomIndexValue1].toString() + " pears" +  verbs[randomIndexVerbs].toString() + " " + randomminmax2.toString() + " " + value_2[randomIndexValue2].toString() + ".\n";
     String question = "How much are " + randomminmax3.toString() + value_1[randomIndexValue1].toString() + "?\n";
    return value + question;
  }

  static String giveAnswer(){
    double result = (randomminmax2/randomminmax1)*randomminmax3;
    return result.toStringAsFixed(2) + " Euro.";
  }
}

  static String giveAnswer(){
    double result = (randomminmax2/randomminmax1)*randomminmax3;
    return result.toStringAsFixed(2) + " Euro.";
  }
}

A: Can you try to create a superclass that all question classes will inherit and then get the subclasses and programmatically call functions. Try to see here

A: At least I managed to give my values directly from the classes into the list. But then I got problems with the int-variables, which were built wrong.
My "solution": I converted my classes into isolated flutter widgets, which works fine, except the problem that I'm not able to put the widgets into a list, from where they are picked randomly...but therefore I'll write a new post.
Thank you Moustapha for your help (the superclass idea sounds good, but way too hard to code for me) ;)!

San Francisco's biggest July Openings
Tired of sending out-of-town guests to hotels in downtown San Francisco? Allow us to introduce you to the hottest new accommodations in town: The Lodge at the Presidio. The 42-room bed-and-breakfast is the closest hotel in SF to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the city's only lodging in a National Park. It's the sister property to the Inn at the Presidio, a 22-room historic hotel that opened in 2012. The Inn was so wildly successful that it inspired the Presidio Trust, the organization that oversees the preservation of the park, to build another hotel — and thus the Lodge was born.
The Lodge has unparalleled access to the Presidio's gorgeous 300-acre forest and landmarks like Crissy Field and the Legion of Honor. For those hoping to explore the Marin Headlands or the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma, the Lodge at the Presidio's proximity to the bridge makes it an ideal place for a quick and easy escape.
Its rich history makes the Lodge incredibly unique. The hotel, which was built in the 1860s, was once used as barracks housing for noncommissioned officers of the United States military. The building is one of five identical structures — it is next door to the Walt Disney Family Museum and Traci Des Jardins' Commissary restaurant — that have all been restored and repurposed by the Trust. "One of the biggest missions of the Trust is to preserve these old buildings," Terry Haney, the general manager of the lodge, says. "The park itself has landmark status and the buildings inside it all fall under the category of historic preservation. When they restore a building, great effort is put into the historic fabric of the property."
While much of the exterior remains the same as it was in the late 1800s, the interior of the building is modern and luxurious with hints of its storied past. The grand staircase has been restored, and the hardwood floor serves as a blueprint for what used to be housed in the barracks. "In the lobby, there was the commander's office, and there was another room where they stored their ammunition," Haney explains. "In the floor, when we laid the new hardwood floor, we put a darker wood that indicates where those rooms were. It's like a ghost of a footprint to tell the story of what used to be there."
Architectural Resources Group and LC Interiors designed the three-story hotel's interior. There are seven different types of rooms ranging from a standard queen to a junior king suite. All of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with varying views of the Bay, the city's skyline, the forest or the bridge. Amenities include a 24hour concierge service, complimentary gourmet breakfast and wine and cheese hour in the evening. Haney says that the Lodge is hoping to win sustainability awards. "Sustainability is one of our number one concerns. Green housekeeping practices, all that sort of thing. We try to do as much locally as we can, we source locally. We'll be seeking elite, gold status. Sustainability is very important to us."
Another thing that makes the Lodge stand out? Its collection of art. The design team had access to the Trust's archives and used historic photographs, paintings and found items to decorate the space. The resulting hotel is not only distinctly San Franciscan, but original to the Presidio.
Rooms at the Lodge at the Presidio are now available for reservations starting at $275/night

The menu consists of a nine-course meal that changes every month and is inspired by a distinctive theme.
Last Rites 718 14th Street
Duboce Triangle is getting a new destination from the team behind Divisadero's Horsefeather. Last Rites is a tiki bar inspired by Polynesian Noir, a subgenre of mystery fiction in a tiki setting. It's not the sunny tropics of Disneyland, but a darker atmosphere with skulls, stones and dense faux foliage. Look forward to cocktails with innovative garnishes (toasted marshmallow), housemade ingredients (spiced matte honey syrup), and hard-to-find rums (they have over 150 on the back bar).

Tasty local food that is fairly priced and delivered to your door instead of the supermarket shop.
Buying your food shopping from us genuinely makes a difference. All our meat, eggs and dairy come from free-range farms with fantastic welfare standards.

You can trust us with the food you feed your family. We care about the food we sell, the producers who make it, and the difference it makes to the county we are from and love.
Our producers get to keep most of the retail price you pay. Instead of the third the supermarkets typically give to their suppliers, our producers get on average two-thirds of everything you spend with us. We think this is only fair.

Obviously we want to take over the world...but more realistically this year we want 1% of households in Cornwall buying their food shopping from us and to further expand the range of food we sell. On an average spend of £30 this will mean £4 million annually for the Cornish economy. To continue to grow and do this we need your support.
We are looking to raise £20,000 through our Crowdfunder and Voom 2016 campaign.

Moggio ist eine Gemeinde in der Provinz Lecco in der italienischen Region Lombardei mit  Einwohnern (Stand ).

Geographie
Moggio liegt etwa 11 km nordöstlich der Provinzhauptstadt Lecco und 60 km nordöstlich der Millionen-Metropole Mailand. Im Jahr 1971 hatte die Gemeinde Moggio eine Fläche von 1.341 Hektar.

Die Nachbargemeinden sind Barzio, Cassina Valsassina, Morterone, Taleggio (BG) und Vedeseta (BG).

Geschichte
Im Laufe des Jahres 1415 wurden einige Verwandte und Vertreter der Universitäten der einzelnen Länder des Valsassina, darunter auch Moggio, nach Mailand gerufen, um dem Herzog Filippo Maria Visconti einen Treueeid zu leisten. Die Bezeichnung der Ratsmannschaft für den Zusammenschluss von Barzio, Concenedo, Cassina, Moggio, Cremeno leitet sich von der Tatsache ab, dass diese Ländereien in der Antike eine einzige Gemeinschaft bildeten; nachdem sie sich vor der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts getrennt hatten, regelten sie sich im Zeitlichen selbst, wobei jedes seinen eigenen estimo und seine eigene Katastrophe hatte und nur unter sich die Gründe besaßen, pro indiviso die Gemeinschaftsgüter zu genießen. In einem Prospekt aus dem Jahr 1572 (Terre Ducato di Milano, 1572), in dem alle Ländereien des Herzogtums Mailand und andere, die mit ihnen für die Salzstara besteuert werden, aufgeführt sind, wird Moggio unter den infrascritte comuni des Valsassina genannt. Im Jahr 1722 gab es in Moggio 42 Brände.

Aus den vom Provinzbürgermeister Michel'Angelo Manzone im 18. Jahrhundert gesammelten Gewohnheitsregeln über die Regierung des Valsassina und aus den Antworten auf die 45 Fragen der königlichen Volkszählung von 1751 geht hervor, dass Moggio im Ratsteam zu den Gemeinden (oder Gemeinschaften, aber auch einfach als Land oder Ort bezeichnet) gehörte, die der allgemeinen Gemeinschaft des Valsassina unterstellt waren. Alle Gemeinden, die zur allgemeinen Gemeinschaft gehörten, wurden von einem Konsul regiert, der in der Regel auf der Bank des Podestà in Introbio einen Eid ablegte, und von ihren eigenen Bürgermeistern, die von den jeweiligen Stadtvierteln gewählt wurden und für die Verwaltung und den Erhalt des Gemeindeguts verantwortlich waren; oft hatten die Gemeinden auch einen Kanzler, der die Umlagen festlegte (ansonsten eine Aufgabe für den Bürgermeister), und einen Eintreiber, der diese Aufgabe durch einen Vertrag mit der einzelnen Gemeinde erhielt.

Nach dem vorübergehenden Zusammenschluss der lombardischen Provinzen mit dem Königreich Sardinien wurde die Gemeinde Moggio mit 361 Einwohnern, die von einem 15-köpfigen Gemeinderat und einem 2-köpfigen Stadtrat verwaltet wird, gemäß der durch das Gesetz vom 23. Oktober 1859 festgelegten territorialen Aufteilung dem Bezirk II von Introbio, Bezirk III von Lecco, Provinz Como zugeordnet. Bei der Verfassung des Königreichs Italien im Jahr 1861 hatte die Gemeinde 362 Einwohner (Volkszählung 1861). Nach dem Gemeindegesetz von 1865 wurde die Gemeinde von einem Bürgermeister, einer Junta und einem Rat verwaltet. Im Jahr 1867 wurde die Gemeinde in denselben Bezirk, Kreis und dieselbe Provinz eingegliedert (Verwaltungsbezirk 1867).

Im Jahr 1924 wurde die Gemeinde in den Bezirk Lecco der Provinz Como eingegliedert. Nach der Gemeindereform im Jahr 1926 wurde die Gemeinde von einem Podestà verwaltet. Im Jahr 1928 wurde die Gemeinde Moggio mit der Gemeinde Cremeno zusammengelegt. Im Jahr 1948 wurde die autonome Gemeinde Moggio durch Abtrennung ihres Gebiets von der Gemeinde Cremeno neu gebildet. Nach dem geltenden Gesetz über das Gemeindesystem wurde die Gemeinde von einem Bürgermeister, einem Rat und einem Vorstand verwaltet.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Pfarrkirche San Francesco – Fest des Ortspatrons am 4. Oktober. Die erste Erwähnung einer Kapelle in Moggio stammt aus dem 13. Jahrhundert und ist im Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolani von Goffredo da Bussero enthalten. Zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts wurde die Kirche im gotischen Stil umgebaut und am 4. November 1569 vom Erzbischof von Mailand Karl Borromäus zur Pfarrkirche ernannt, nachdem er sie von der Pfarrkirche von Cremeno befreit hatte. Die Kirche wurde 1603 wiederaufgebaut und am 29. August desselben Jahres eingeweiht. Im selben Jahrhundert wurden die Innenräume mit Stuckarbeiten der magistri intelvesi  und Fresken verziert. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde das Gebäude renoviert; aus dem Bericht der Pastoralvisitation des Erzbischofs Giuseppe Pozzobonelli erfahren wir, dass die Pfarrei zur Pfarrei Valsassina gehörte, dass die Kirche Sitz der Sodalitas war, die an die Kapelle der Heiligen Jungfrau vom Berge Karmel angegliedert war, und dass die Zahl der Gläubigen 250 betrug, die dann auf 229 im Jahr 1780 sank, wie es in der 1781 erstellten Notiz der Pfarreien des Staates Mailand heißt. Im Jahr 1902 wurden zwei Seitenkapellen gebaut, während im darauf folgenden Jahr alle alten Dekorationen und Gipsabdrücke entfernt und wieder aufgebaut wurden; mit der Neugestaltung des Innenraums wurde der Maler Romeo Rivetta betraut.

City rejects Station TIF request
The city council approved one TIF-fund application and turned down another at Tuesday's regular meeting.
Approved was an application to the developers of a new NAPA auto parts store, which is being constructed at the former Tool Time Building, 221 S. Main St.
Councilman Mike Yaklich said he supported the application because it included more than $400,000 in building renovations. He said the new business would not only provide sax tax revenue but improve the property's value significantly.
The amount of TIF funding has not yet been determined. The measure passed unanimously.
"We anticipate they are going to create incremental revenue," he said. "that is the essence of what a TIF district is supposed to be financing."
Yaklich said that benchmark -- incremental property value increase -- should be applied to all TIF applications.
A second application presented to the council Tuesday, from the new owners of The Station restaurant, 300 W. Third St., was turned down by a 4-1 vote, with Councilman Chris Colomer casting the only supportive vote.
Yaklich argued that The Station's application was not for the some purpose as the NAPA application and that the restaurant's listed repairs would not lead to an incremental increase in the building's overall value.
That incremental increase, he said, is the key to the TIF mechanism, in that additional tax growth is spurred by the city's investment and eventually provides more funding for bigger projects in the future.
The Station owner Andrew Speck, said the money was needed because the repairs to the building were more extensive than expected.
"We came into a foreclosed property that had a lot of issues," he said, which included water damage and mold.
Colomer said using TIF money at The Station would not be out of line with past expenditures and would protect local jobs while providing sales tax revenue for the city.
"We're saying we can do it for them (NAPA), but not for these guys," he said.
It was suggested the restaurant's owners work through the Kewanee Economic Development Corporation to either extend or defer their current low-interest loan.
Mayor Steve Looney said he felt The Station's application should have been submitted before the construction had been completed.
"One of the problems I have with this is that it came after the fact," he said.
"We will struggle and we will get it done," Speck said.


A litigation attorney is a lawyer who sees a case through the court process. He or she focuses on the litigation process or the procedures involved in filing and pursuing lawsuits. Complex litigation refers to a case that involves multiple parties, a large amount of money, a lengthy trial or complex legal issues.
The difficulty of such cases requires an accomplished trial lawyer who is able to deal with the many elements involved in a complex lawsuit. This usually is beyond the experience of the standard trial lawyer.
If they meet the criteria explained above, any of these types of cases could involve complex litigation.
