In the quest to mimic more @-functions in LotusScript, here is a subset function. However, writing this function is not as straightforward as you might think. Obviously, Subset(array, 4) should give you the first four elements in the array and Subset(array, -4) should give you the last four elements in the array. But in formula language, you're dealing with lists and don't have to worry so much about array positions. (At least until Version 6 when you can access list elements through their position directly). But in LotusScript you do have to worry about this.
And, when making a generic function, you also have to worry about the lower bound of the array. Most developers like using arrays that start off with element zero, but some developers set Option Base 1 in their script, and a generic function will have to account for that. Furthermore, there may be cases when it's more convenient to define an array with "strange" bounds, like Dim a(5 To 10). A generic function has to account for this.
Next, a decision has to be made when returning subsets from the right (a negative number). For example, let's say you have an array of elements 0, 1, 2, and 3. If you want to return the rightmost 2 elements (-2), you would be expecting the values from 2 and 3, but what positions are they in the returned array? Are they elements 0 and 1, or elements 2 and 3? We'll show code that does either, so you can decide which one to implement.
Lastly, we want to mimic @Subset as much as possible. If you ask for 15 elements in an array that has 4 elements, all 4 elements are returned. If you ask for 0 elements, an error is returned. We'll be nicer and return an empty string (which may or may not cause an error, depending on the calling function). And doing a quick test on @Subset reveals that if you don't pass in an array, the entire thing you passed in was returned. For example, @Subset("Hello"; 2) = "Hello". So we'll want to mimic that in our function.
The tricky part is defining the bounds of the returned array. If n > 0 then we define the return array to be the existing lower bound to the new upper bound (so the return array will have "n" elements). If n < 0 then the upper bound should be the same as what was passed in, and the lower bound should adjust so there will be "n" elements). Then just move everything over in the same position.
will end up with result(3) = "D" and result(4) = "E".
In this code, the lower bound is always going to be the same as what was passed in, and the upper bound is always going to adjust so there's "n" elements returned. But we have to adjust the position of the source element when placing it in the returned array. If n is greater than zero, then no adjustment is necessary. If n is less than zero, then we need to know how many elements, counting from the left, are not going to be used. That is the value of adjust.


The Los Angeles River (also called the L.A. River) starts in the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains and flows through Los Angeles County, California, from Canoga Park in the western end of the San Fernando Valley, nearly 51 miles (82 km) southeast to its mouth in Long Beach. Several tributaries join the once free-flowing and frequently flooding river, forming alluvial flood plains along its banks. It now flows through a concrete channel on a fixed course, which was built after a series of devastating floods in the early 20th century.
Before the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the river was the primary source of fresh water for the city. Although the Los Angeles region still gets some of its water from the river and other local sources, most comes from several aqueducts serving the area. The river suffers pollution from agricultural and urban runoff.
Fed primarily by rainwater and snowmelt (in winter and spring), the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys (in summer and fall), and urban discharge, it is one of the few low-elevation perennial rivers in Southern California. Some water usually reaches the sea, even in the driest summers; although there are historical accounts of the river running dry, there has been flow every month since recording of stream flow began in 1929. This is helped by the concrete channel, which limits absorption of water into the earth. Flow, while generally low in volume, can be extremely brisk even in summer.
The Los Angeles River's official beginning is at the confluence of two channelized streams – Bell Creek and Arroyo Calabasas – in the Canoga Park section of the city of Los Angeles, just east of California State Route 27, at 34°11′43″N 118°36′07″W / 34.1952°N 118.601838°W / 34.1952; -118.601838 (the east side of Canoga Park High School). Bell Creek flows east from the Simi Hills, and Arroyo Calabasas flows north from the Santa Monica Mountains. From there the river flows east through a concrete flood control channel and very soon receives Browns Canyon Wash, which flows south from the Santa Susana Mountains. The river then bends slightly south and receives Aliso Canyon Wash, whose watershed adjoins that of Browns Canyon. The river then flows through the district of Winnetka, then Reseda and enters the Sepulveda Basin, a flood-control reservoir formed by the Sepulveda Dam.
Receiving the Tujunga Wash (right) in Studio City.
As the river proceeds into the usually-dry reservoir, it spills out into a channel that is similar to its historical, unchannelized form. It crosses under Balboa Boulevard and then receives Bull Creek. The river then passes through the outlet works of Sepulveda Dam, 43 miles (69 km) from the mouth. It flows again into a concrete channel and crosses under Interstate 405 as it passes through Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, and Studio City, still flowing east. Paralleling U.S. Highway 101 briefly, it then veers southeast, away from the highway, and receives from the left the Tujunga Wash, one of its largest tributaries, which flows southwest and south from the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains. The river then rounds a bend to the northeast, now in a concrete box culvert, and crosses under State Route 170 and Highway 101, and receives Burbank Western Channel on the left bank, 39 miles (63 km) from the mouth.
Looking east (downstream) at the Glendale Narrows. Unlike most of the river, this stretch has an earthen bottom.
The river then begins to parallel California State Route 134 as it winds North Hollywood & the city of Burbank. It then crosses under Interstate 5 and makes a sharp bend to the south-southeast as it curves around Griffith Park. It receives from the left Verdugo Wash, which drains much of La Cañada Flintridge and Glendale as it flows from the San Gabriel Mountains south through a water gap in the Verdugo Mountains, and crosses under State Route 134. Here, the river begins to flow over a natural riverbed, but enters another concrete section soon after. Paralleling Interstate 5 for the next few miles, the river runs by the eastern side of Griffith Park and the Harding-Wilson Golf Course. It passes Silver Lake Reservoir, which is to the right, and crosses under California State Route 2, 32 miles (51 km) from the mouth.
Making two meanders as it flows in a southeasterly direction, the river parallels the interstate and Riverside Drive then crosses under the interstate and California State Route 110 as it flows east of Elysian Park. It then receives the Arroyo Seco, another major tributary, from the left. The river flows south past the Mission Junction, a large railroad yard on the left. It enters a wider concrete channel with sloped sides, and crosses under Cesar Chavez Avenue, Highway 101, and Interstate 10 as it passes east of downtown Los Angeles, flowing past the East Los Angeles Interchange for Highway 101, California State Route 60, and Interstates 5 and 10 on the left. It then makes a gradual turn east and then turns southeast, flowing a few miles before it begins to parallel Interstate 710 near Maywood, Bell, Cudahy, and Commerce, 20 miles (32 km) from the mouth.
Paralleling Interstate 710 south-southwest, the river then crosses under former California State Route 42 and the interstate as it receives the Rio Hondo from the left, 9 miles (14 km) from the mouth. The Rio Hondo (deep river) now serves as a distributary for the San Gabriel River to the east via the Whittier Narrows Reservoir. The river then crosses under I-105 and shifts slightly southwest, then flows east of Compton and west of Bellflower. After crossing under California State Route 91, it receives Compton Creek from the right, 2.7 miles (4.3 km) from the mouth. After crossing under Interstate 405 for the second time, 2 miles (3.2 km) from the mouth, it draws close to the Dominguez Channel to the west and flows due south to its outlet in Long Beach, under Interstate 710, past the RMS Queen Mary, and into the Port of Long Beach.
The river provided a source of water and food for the Tongva people prior to the arrival of the Spanish. After the establishment of Mission San Gabriel in 1771, the Spanish referred to all of the Tongva living in that mission's vicinity as Gabrieliño. The Tongva were hunters and gatherers who lived primarily off fish, small mammals, and the acorns from the abundant oak trees along the river's path. There were at least 45 Tongva villages located near the Los Angeles River, concentrated in the San Fernando Valley and the Elysian Valley, in what is present day Glendale.
In 1769, members of the Portolá expedition to explore Alta California were the first Europeans to see the river. On August 2, the party camped near the river, somewhere along the stretch just to the north of the Interstate 10 crossing near downtown Los Angeles. Fray Juan Crespi, one of two Franciscan missionaries traveling with Portolá, named it El Río de Nuestra Señora La Reina de Los Ángeles de Porciúncula. Crespi chose that name, which translates as The River of Our Lady Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula, because it was the name of a special annual feast day for the Franciscans, which the Portolá party had celebrated the previous day. The river was thereafter referred to as the "Porciuncula River". In later years, the "Los Angeles" part of Crespi's lengthy name won out.
"...until 1825 it was seldom, if in any year, that the river discharged even during the rainy season its waters into the sea. Instead of having a river way to the sea, the waters spread over the country, filling the depressions in the surface and forming lakes, ponds and marshes. The river water, if any, that reached the ocean drained off from the land at so many places, and in such small volumes, that no channel existed until the flood of 1825, which, by cutting a river way to tide water, drained the marsh land and caused the forests to disappear."
Prior to the Great Flood of 1862, it was joined by the San Gabriel River in present-day Long Beach, but in that year the San Gabriel carved out a new course 6 miles (9.7 km) to the east, and has discharged into Alamitos Bay ever since.
Placing of concrete in a section of the counterforted channel wall on the left bank just above 26th Street in the city of Los Angeles, 1938.
Until the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913, the Los Angeles River was the primary water source for the Los Angeles Basin, but much of its channel had extremely low discharge except during the winter rains. Unpredictable and devastating floods continued to plague it well into the 1930s (the most notable one being the catastrophic 1938 flood that precipitated the recall of then-mayor of Los Angeles Frank L. Shaw), leading to calls for flood control measures. The Army Corps of Engineers duly began an ambitious project of completely encasing the river's bed and banks in concrete, with only a trickle of water usually flowing down its middle. The only portions of the river that are not completely paved over are in the flood-control basin behind the Sepulveda Dam near Van Nuys; an 11-mile (17.7-km) stretch east of Griffith Park known as the Glendale Narrows; and along its last few miles in Long Beach.
The river was dry for nine months of the year as late as the 1950s. According to an August 2013 article in the Los Angeles Times, the water in the river today is largely "industrial and residential discharge," which originates from the "two giant pipes that collect the sewage from the homes of 800,000 San Fernando Valley residents" that lead to the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant, "before crashing over a man-made waterfall into Lake Balboa. That body of water, along with two smaller ones, puts 23 million gallons of water a day into the river at Sepulveda Basin."
Sepulveda Basin is a flood-control basin to manage floodwater runoff. Except for infrequent but dramatic flood episodes, this dry-land flood control basin, most of which is leased from the Corps by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, plays host to diverse uses today including athletic fields, agriculture, golf courses, a fishing lake, parklands, a sewage treatment facility, and a wildlife reserve.
The Los Angeles River bicycle path runs through the Glendale Narrows and is accessible to the public at its north end at Riverside Drive, at Los Feliz Boulevard, and at its south end at Glendale Boulevard, Fletcher Drive and at Egret Park in Elysian Valley. The bike path runs parallel to the 5 freeway for the majority of its length and has mile markers and call boxes for information and safety purposes.
The river's southern stretch forms the heart of an industrial corridor, stretching nearly unbroken from Lincoln Heights to Long Beach. In this area, the busy Long Beach Freeway (I-710) and several high-voltage power lines run within a few hundred feet of the riverbed. Several rail yards are located along the river's banks in this stretch, as well. Just outside the industrial corridor lie some of the most densely populated cities in the state of California, such as the cities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Cudahy, Maywood and South Gate; most of these cities are in the river's flood plain and experienced significant flooding prior to channelization.
There is an abundance of fish species in the Los Angeles River which include common carp, largemouth bass, tilapia, green sunfish, Amazon sailfin catfish, bluegill, black bullhead, brown bullhead, channel catfish, fathead minnow, crayfish, and mosquito fish. No native species of the Los Angeles River survived the channelization of the river in 1938. The native species of fish in the Los Angeles River included rainbow trout, river shrimp, chinook salmon, Sacramento pikeminnow, Pacific lamprey, three-spined stickleback, and Santa Ana sucker. The last native species to be caught in the river was a rainbow trout in 1940 by a local fisherman.
However, Arroyo chub, which was once thought gone since the channelization has made small appearances throughout parts of the Los Angeles River, Most recent being in the area of Balboa Lake/Anthony C. Beilenson Park in the surrounding channels such as Bull Creek, Woodley Creek and around the creeks and main body of the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve.
There is also a large variety of bird species in the Los Angeles River which include snowy egret, great egret black-necked stilt, great blue heron, green heron, mallard, cinnamon teal, American coot, Muscovy duck, white pelican, Canada goose, osprey, California high desert mourning dove, black-chinned hummingbird, barn owl, and red tailed hawk. All of these species either nest or live off of the resources of the river. Before the river's channelization the river supported a variety of mammals which included the California golden bear (removed 1897), grey wolf (removed 1890s), coyote, mule deer, and North American beaver.
There is indirect evidence that North American beaver (Castor canadensis) were native to the river, as the Beñemé (Mojave) and Jeniguechi (San Jacinto branch of the Cahuilla) Indians of the San Gabriel Mission were described by Father Pedro Font on the second de Anza Expedition in 1776, "The costume of the men in heathendom is total nakedness, while the women wear a bit of deer skin with which they cover themselves, and likewise an occasional cloak of beaver or rabbit skin, although the fathers endeavor to clothe the converted Indians with something as best they can." The Tongva or Gabrieleño Indians of Mission San Gabriel had a word for beaver To-le-vah-che.
Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) was founded in 1986 by poet and activist Lewis P. Macadams. Originally deemed a "40-year artwork to bring the River back to life," FoLAR has eventually been recognized as the first organization advocating for habitat restoration and public access on the LA River. One of their most prominent projects advancing the River Revitalization movement is the annual Great LA River Cleanup, which began in 1988 with a group of less than twenty people. As of 2017, the Great LA Cleanup has grown to accommodate up to 10,000 volunteers over three weekends covering the upper, middle, and lower sections of the River. On average, each volunteer at one of FoLAR's cleanups pulls 20lbs of trash from the LA River that would otherwise filter into the Pacific Ocean. As of 2018, FoLAR has adopted a year-round cleanup model through partnerships with other environmental organizations like Heal the Bay, and through service opportunities for corporate groups and large organizations through their River Makers program. In 2012, FoLAR raised a $1 million donation to support the completion of the ARBOR study by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This study ultimately resulted in the adoption of Alternative 20, a restoration plan focused on 719 acres of habitat and pedestrian-friendly improvements, among other things.
On July 23, 2013, the nonprofit group River LA, formerly known as the Los Angeles River Revitalization Corporation, announced a goal of completing a continuous 51-mile (82 km) greenway and bike path along the river by the end of the decade. The path is envisioned to be the central focus of a linear recreational park as well as providing an alternative transportation path through Los Angeles. The announcement by the nonprofit group precedes the expected August 30 release of a feasibility study being prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps have the ultimate decision-making power over the river and its future revitalization. On September 13, 2013 the Army Corps of Engineers recommended a $453 million plan to restore nearly 600 acres of wildlife habitat – much of that located between Griffith Park and Lincoln Heights – as the best option to restore the river's ecosystem while preserving the flood protection provided by the concrete encasement.
One of the initiatives shepherded by the Ad Hoc River Committee is the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan. As a result of the Ad Hoc River Committee's efforts, and with funding from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the City of Los Angeles' Department of Public Works-Bureau of Engineering issued a Request for Proposals in 2005 for the preparation of a Revitalization Master Plan, which would identify proposals that would make the Los Angeles River a "front door" to the City, and support a multitude of civic activities. The Los Angeles Times reported that famous architect Frank Gehry is part of the advisory group and collaborating with River LA. Gehry and River LA have produced an informational database on the River known as the LA River Index.
The Council for Watershed Health is a nonprofit organization that works with government agencies, business leaders, community groups, and academics to facilitate an inclusive consensus process aimed at preserving, restoring, and enhancing the social, ecological, and economic health of the Los Angeles River and San Gabriel River watersheds through education, research, and planning.
The California Coastal Conservancy, a state agency, published its Los Angeles River Park and Recreation Study in 1993, identifying potential projects along the river. In 2006, Mayor Villaraigosa visited South Korea to look at their river restoration project, the Cheonggyecheon.
For the first time since the 1930s, a 2.5 mile section of the Glendale Narrows was opened to the public for unrestricted recreational use between Memorial Day and Labor Day in 2013. In May 2014 it was announced that two sections of the river would again be open for recreational use during the summer.
The ongoing efforts to revitalize the River fall into the category of "habitat enhancement" rather than restoration, since actual restoration of the River to its natural state is no longer possible or necessarily desirable. The flooding that characterized the River's natural state will still have to be limited to protect the developments that have been built in its flood zone, and the River cannot take groundwater from the area until a number of toxic waste sites (such as Santa Susana Field Station) are cleaned up.
Springtime flow in 2008 at North Broadway-Buena Vista Viaduct (built 1909–11) on the Los Angeles River near Lincoln Heights.
The car race in the L.A. River culvert from the film Grease is an example of the canalized river's use as a location for films, television series, and music videos.
Numerous films, television programs, music videos, and video games have featured various sites along the Los Angeles River. Since the River is a trickle for much of the year and the culvert is dry, it is often used for races, car chases, gang rumbles, and other scenes requiring an open, deserted setting within the city.
Perhaps the most memorable such scene involving the river is the extended, three vehicle chase sequence in 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Others include Transformers, Last Action Hero, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, The Gumball Rally, Chinatown, Them!, The Core, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, In Time, It's Alive, L.A. Story, Grease, Point Blank, Repo Man, 24, Fear the Walking Dead, The Italian Job, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Point Break, Gone in 60 Seconds, To Live and Die in L.A., Blood In Blood Out, Cleopatra Jones, Blue Thunder, I Got The Hook Up, Earthquake and Drive. Video games include the racing game Midnight Club: Los Angeles and the action-adventure games Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V (both of which feature depictions of the river within the fictional city of Los Santos).
The seventh and sixteenth season of Hell's Kitchen featured the blue team cleaning the L.A. River as punishment for losing the team challenge.
The house used for exterior shots of the Brady home on The Brady Bunch at 11222 North Dilling Street in North Hollywood has the bank of the river as the edge of its backyard.

It can be said that spring has two starts to it. The first is the exact moment the Sun enters Aries and the second is the New Moon in Aries. Both have occurred now on March 20 and 27th, respectively. We can also analyze both of these events more closely using the lenses of Astrology to gain a deeper understanding of the themes. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and, in some respects and in some cultures, actually, it can be understood as the beginning of the year, the New Year. After all, Winter Solstice indicates the beginning of winter. It can all seem a little confusing unless one appreciates the overlaying principle of cycles. As well, like a seed, it must first germinate and then sprout. Spring reveals the sprouts and buds leading to leaves and flowers. As you may be aware, in this Universal 1-Year, spring is extra special and, looking to the world stage, quite complex. Learn more in my recent Newsletter, sign-up is free on my website.
With Mercury now in Taurus you can expect your focus to become steadier. Yet with Venus still retrograde, you may still feel uncertain about what you want regarding current interests. Furthermore, as Venus re-enters Pisces this vagueness may increase. Positively, you will feel more peaceful.
A busy time behind the scenes continues. Yet, experiences destined to reveal who are some of your truest and trusted friends are likely. With your ambitions to explore new territory steadily increasing, the combined energies could manifest as new friendships and love interests.
The time has come to enter new territory. Yet ironically, it may also manifest as a journey down memory lane. Good thing there are two of you so you can enjoy both directions. Weaving the experiences of both into a new synthesis will prove inspiring and may even manifest as inventiveness and opportunity.
A wave of new initiatives and experiences implies a breakthrough period. You may not feel sure of your willingness to commit yet. That may take another 2-3 weeks. Accept it as a trial period. There may be other stages of initiation and development as well. Take your time to decide.
You are beginning to see your place in the world as with new eyes. Already, your ambitions are strong. Yet, you remain in the waiting room, so to speak. It may take a few weeks before you officially make a new start. The returns from the new ventures implied could prove significant. If interested, focus.
You have entered n accelerated period of change. It may manifest as basically as a shift of focus in alignment with the new season. However, the change could prove deeper than that. Your focus is strong and your drive equally so. This could prove to be a promising opportunity to make measurable progress.
Some significant starts on relationship fronts are underway. Some of these are destined to activate new relationships altogether and/or fresh initiatives. However, some could well prove fleeting despite the initial excitement. It is all part of the dance of destiny so trust the flow.
A series of dynamic if complex circumstances are underway. Patience is a keyword and how you respond to people and situations now could prove pivotal, for better or worse. Slow down and avoid righteous and expectant reactions. Observe what is happening and accept it as clues about how you need to adapt.
A playful cycle continues as does your need to engage with increased determination. A wide array of interactions with people includes at least as many ideas and perspectives to consider. Positively, you are in a position to receive as much as to give and the result could be recognized as a wealth of exchanges.
A process of pushing through barriers continues. There are two ways you can go, the literal or the magical. The literal implies actually removing or obstacles, walls and even people from your life. The magical way refers to clearing old beliefs, attitudes, interpretations and self-concepts and watching the outer reflections change.
Thoughts are always the first stage of creation. These then grow into dreams, visions, plans, goals and intentions in the second phase. Action to actualize these comes next and follow through can be called stage four. Thus, creation includes looking back to stage one, frequent review of stage two and consistent focus on stage three. Chip chop!
A new and exciting momentum is building. That Solar Eclipse in your sign in late February is destined to activate or synchronize with significant events in your life. Again, some will be outer events while others will stem from your own initiatives, and probably both. Answer the call!


Were you around for the MeritChoice Free Appreciation Seminar this last Saturday, 24th March? If you did not, oh… my God, you missed. It was an awesome experience for all the people that came.
Our facilitators were wonderful. People in attendance saw another dimension to making it in business by engaging effective internet and marketing strategy. What of the Beekeeping section? A lot of people were amazed about the creature called bee and how engaging in beekeeping business can make you a millionaire in just two years with little or no serious effort from your end.
Then the climax of the whole seminar was when these young engineers came around and generated syn-gas from some handful of sawdust which powered our generator. Many people thought the idea won't work, but they were surprised that it happened. We will soon power Lagos with all the waste creating nuisance on the street.
If you felt that the appreciation seminar was wonderful, let me tell you that you have not seen any thing yet until you attend the Digital Entrepreneurs' Bootcamp 1.0 (DEB 1.0) where you will be engaged with more than 12 intensive training in two solid days.
This is a not the usual general training where you will learn something you cannot practice. Specifically, I will be taking you through my marketing strategies which will help you to gain the ability to promote any thing at any time and make cool money with it. If you understand the modern digital marketing strategy, then, I can assure you that you will be in business for long.
If you have not registered yet, don't forget, the deadline for registration is 2nd April, 2018. I will like you to click the link below to register NOW.
You don't want to miss this for any thing. Make sure you postpone any thing that may want to hinder you from being part of the training, including wedding that you are not the groom or the bride.
The value of this training will be about N355,000.00 if you are to take it one after the other. If you have been going to seminars before now, you will even realise that some of the training stated above are under price.
And you see, that is not all. I am still talking with some young guys that are making money through PayPal and Clickbank to be part of the training and come and give you their secrets. We will spring out surprises at the bootcamp. Just wait and see.
Don't forget that you will stay in camp for this training with your feeding taken care of and accommodation. Your 3 night accommodation is already booked for. Just get down to the camp and every other thing will be taken care of.
Why do we choose to do that? I want you to have maximum concentration. You must not return back to your base and still get confused on how to make money on your own especially using the online method.
Nobody ever bundled great training like this together before. You are seeing it for the first time and we are doing it live in a grand style. You need to experience this. Click the link now and register because the DEB 1.0 is loading… getting activated on 5th April, 2018.

Q: Wpf Prism MVVM change between modules I'm working on a WPF project using Prism and MVVM, I'm new using this tools.
I've been creating modules and testing it and everything works fine. To test it in the Bootstrapper I add each module using AddModule method of the ModuleCatalog, but now I need to put all my modules together and go from one module to another.
Program starts and load Module_1, when the user finish all in this module press a complete button and the program shows Module_2 and so on...
What I need to do to change from one module to another after an user action?
Thank you in advance.

A: Module can be loaded on demand. After pressing complete button in the first module load Module_2. How to: Load Modules on Demand.
In the module's Initialize() method you can register views you need with regions, e.g.
public void Initialize()
{
    regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("MainRegion", () => container.Resolve<Module2View>());
}

After load module completed navigate to this view:
moduleManager.LoadModuleCompleted += (s, e) =>
    {
        if (e.ModuleInfo.ModuleName == "Module_2")
        {
            regionManager.RequestNavigate("MainRegion", new Uri("Module2View", UriKind.Relative));
        }
    };

It's just a quick sample. You can find more information on MSDN. Hope it helps.

A: Another option may be to use the EventAggregator class provided by Prism
When the user clicks the complete button a CompositePresentationEvent would be raised. Module_1 and Module_2 would have already subscribed to this event (in their module Initialize methods perhaps) and module_1 can hide itself while module_2 shows itself.
The actual implementation of the showing/hiding of views will depend on how you are using Regions - Zabavsky's answer addresses this.
Hope that make sense!

In this lesson, you learn about the LinkedIn network and the many ways to communicate with other LinkedIn members.
Before you start communicating with others on LinkedIn, you need to understand how LinkedIn classifies its members in terms of their connections to you. This distinction is important because it determines what, if any, restrictions LinkedIn places on your ability to contact people.
1st degree connections—LinkedIn members you connect with directly. Either you sent them an invitation to connect and they accepted, or you accepted their invitations. Your connection list on your profile displays your 1st degree connections. When LinkedIn refers to "your connections," this means your 1st degree connections.
2nd degree connections—LinkedIn members who connect directly with your 1st degree connections.
3rd degree connections—LinkedIn members who connect directly with your 2nd degree connections.
For example, if you connect directly with your colleague Nicole, she is your 1st degree connection. If Nicole connects directly to Ben, her former classmate, Ben is your 2nd degree connection. If Ben connects directly with Drake, one of his co-workers, Drake is your 3rd degree connection.
LinkedIn also considers fellow members of groups as part of your network. See Lesson 11, "Participating in LinkedIn Groups," for more information about LinkedIn groups.
Your LinkedIn network (termed My Network) differs from the entire LinkedIn network, which consists of all LinkedIn members. At the time of this printing, the entire LinkedIn network includes more than 135 million members.
To view how many people are in each level of your network, select Network Statistics from the Contacts drop-down menu on the global navigation bar.

This Firm, Kreindler & Kreindler, handled my husbands case perfectly and simply. I'm greatful for them because they return calls as soon as possible and communicated with me and my husband when he was around. He had a hard time communicating because of his condition but Kreindler & Kreindler listened the best way possible with my love. And a special Marly Verdier who was the person who helped me the most through these times and gave me a sense of security and comfort. This firm is lovely and if you are looking for a firm this is the one.

K&K were excellent and efficient in handling my WTC case. It was a long process (due to the number of wtc/ 9-11 claims) but they made it smooth and were helpful throughout the whole case. The paralegals were always attentive and accesible. I highly recommend Kriendler and Kriendler.
My case manager Marly was excellent and did an outstanding job providing updates to my case over a two year period. She always responded in a timely fashion and was very professional. I would recommend Kreindler & Kreindler to friends and family.

K & K handled my WTC Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) claim. I got excellent, attentive assistance from my attorney Noah Kushlefsky and, most especially, from my paralegal Rashad Ali. It was a long process from certification of my injuries to receipt of my compensation award, but the wait was solely due to the number of 9/11 claims the VCF has to process. I highly recommend K & K.

I sent a packet on June 2,2020 for you to represent me and have yet to hear from you as to weather you received it. I have placed three phone calls and one email with no reply. I'm not at all confident in your ability to represent me going forward. I would appreciate a prompt response as to weather you have the packet I sent.

In addition to influencing the spot morphology, the spotting solution should stabilize printing solution system, lead to consistent and stable spots on the surface, and allow for a high efficiency of the immobilization. Procedures on how to optimize a solvent for spotting cDNA are described (1,2). However, as surface properties strongly depend on the specific experimental conditions during the surface-coating process, substrates that in principle have the same surface architecture but are obtained from a variety of manufacturers can feature different slide properties.

Warrington and Hyland collide in potential Leeds thriller, Campbell stars on exciting undercard

Josh Warrington v Patrick Hyland
WBC international featherweight title fight
Saturday, July 30th
Scheduled for: 22:00 BST
First Direct Arena, Leeds
Live on Sky Sports 1
Warrington faces Hyland for Leeds war
Undefeated Leeds fighter Josh Warrington will look to further boost his chances of securing a featherweight world title shot this Saturday night, as he goes head-to-head with visiting Irish challenger Patrick Hyland on home soil.
At the First Direct Arena, Warrington (23-0, 4 KOs) will also put his WBC international title on the line against Dublin contender Hyland (31-2, 15 KOs) in what could be another thrilling encounter on Yorkshire territory.
The 25-year-old home favourite will have the backing of a rapturous 13k crowd, as he looks to follow up his gripping 12-round war against Japan's Hisashi Amagasa with another victory, and he is odds-on 8/13 with Coral to earn a fourth successive points success.
Although, Hyland, who recently spoke exclusively to Coral ahead of his latest bout, will take to the ring in Leeds at 10/3 to cause an upset, with 'the Punisher' hoping to bounce back from his world title defeat to Gary Russell Jr last time out.
Home favourite expecting tough Hyland test
Warrington has made the First Direct Arena his home fortress in recent years, with five of his last six fights having been won at the venue, and he will be seeking further success this weekend but is expecting a tough test from his latest foe.
"There's a lot at risk against Patrick but that's how it should be," stated Warrington, who is 5/2 to stop Hyland. "I've seen how he fights and I know I'm not going to have to go looking for him.
"He comes to fight and has a dig on him, you need that bit of fear factor to go into fights and that's what I have got – it should be a great fight for the fans on top of a brilliant card. The fans are going to be here from 5pm until the last bell and they're in for a treat.
"Patrick has been on my radar for a while, a good year or so, he's a very good fighter and as tough as they come, he's got a good KO ratio and I am in for another hard night."
Hyland hopes to halt Warrington run
Tallaght-born fighter Hyland will enter proceedings on Saturday night at 7/1 to halt Warrington on his travels, with the 32-year-old looking for a positive backlash from his April loss to Russell Jr on American soil.
"I've got a lot of fans coming over and the atmosphere is going to be electric," outlined the Irishman. "I've seen a lot of Josh's fights and the noise is deafening so I can't wait to be part of it.
"Gary Russell Jr is the best in the division. He is so, so fast and speed kills in this sport, but this is a different fight.
"I like how Josh fights and I've wanted to get in there with him to test him out and try to take that future world title shot that he's looking at for myself. I think that we'll end up standing toe-to-toe and giving the fans a real war."
Hyland's aggressive approach in the ring is sure to test Warrington to the limit and, after the latter's gruelling clash with Amagasa earlier this year, fans can expect another all out war this Saturday night.
Campbell stars on undercard against Mendez
Hull's Luke Campbell (13-1, 11 KOs) will feature on an exciting undercard in Leeds, with the 2012 Olympic Gold medallist facing another testing fight against former world champion Argenis Mendez (23-4-1, 12 KOs).
The 28-year-old recovered from his shock defeat at the hands of Yvan Mendy in London last December when toppling Gary Sykes last time out in March, winning the vacant commonwealth lightweight strap in the process.
Campbell will look to continue his resurgence and is the odds-on 1/4 favourite to prevail, while former IBF super-bantamweight champion Mendez will enter at 3/1 to hand the talented Yorkshireman another career setback.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield's Tyrone Nurse (1/3) defends his British light-welterweight title in an all-Yorkshire meeting with Hull's Tommy Coyle (9/4), with bitter heavyweight rivals Dillian Whyte (1/7) and Dave Allen (4/1) colliding for the vacant WBC international belt too.
Also, Barnsley's Josh Wale (7/1) takes on Birmingham's unbeaten starlet Gamal Yafai (1/16), and promising Belfast fighter Ryan Burnett defends his WBC international bantamweight title.

Reviews > The Most Awful
The Top 17 Worst FPS Games
Tuesday, Oct 08, 2013 by Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka (@TwitterHasBannedAllMyAccountsEver)
First person shooter games have enjoyed a long and profitable run, churning out billion-dollar franchise darlings such as Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Ancient Warfare 1, Call of Cthulhu's Duty, and whatever other Call of Duty sequels I may have forgotten. Unfortunately, nobody seems to recall the less popular FPS titles, which might be one reason why they are considered "less popular." Today we'll take a look at the 17 most awful FPS games we've played this year, which can easily be considered the most awful FPS games ever, assuming an alien race starts immediately carpet bombing our planet and prevents additional individuals from continuing this horrid trend of garbage. This list comes courtesy of our Youtube channel, Video Game Abominations Broadcasting.
Like always, you can keep up with the worst games ever by subscribing to our Youtube channel. We highly recommend it, and we're not just saying that because we're really biased and also want a lot of money.
#17: "Rotten Prison"
The most least worst of our games wins the distinctive prize of "actually being entertaining," by way of including a ludicrously overpowered shotgun and insanely designed enemies. Would you like to explore the violent, weird mind of a highly damaged 13-year old boy who has apparently suffered several million strokes that interrupted his ongoing asphyxiation? Welcome to the exciting and strange world of "Rotten Prison," a virtual jail packed full of disfigured cartoon characters, crying babies, and urine-soaked keys! It's everything you could ever want, assuming you've set the bar pretty low, want-wise.
#16: "Dystopia"
Okay, I've got to admit I have absolutely no idea what's happening in this game, but I willingly give it credit for happening at such a fast speed. Travel through the exotic world of [WHATEVER] as a [SOME STUPID NAME] soldier who must travel at 400 miles an hour, shooting everything that moves and many things that don't. It's like crushing up Adderall and dumping it into a fishbowl full of Monster Energy Drinks, chugging the concoction to wash away the bitter taste of all that meth you just smoked. CHECKPOINT!
#15: "Save Captain Kirk!"
Captain Kirk is in trouble and requires saving! Are you a bad enough redshirt to free the world's most eligible space bachelor from his filthy mud-encrusted prison? We sure as hell weren't, and subsequently gave up after 10 minutes or so. This exciting, banal game is one of countless titles that combines Doom-engine graphics with Gamemaker-engine engines to produce something that's not only uninteresting, but tremendously boring as well. I doubt anybody has saved Captain Kirk and I seriously doubt anybody ever will.

It is said the Lord did write upon the sky, "Only the Most Awful shall be cataloged herein." And a wind did come and blow away the words and turn them into a skull. And the writers did fall upon their knees and give thanks, for yea, the Most Awful was good. Thus the lists were born. Read them, sons and daughters, and be strong.

Three persons in charge of cargo handling company in port city Dalian sentenced to up to 57 months in jail
By Global Times Published: Jan 11, 2022 08:20 PM
Photo: VCG
Three persons in charge of a cargo handling company in port city Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning Province, whose violations of epidemic prevention led to the spreading of COVID-19 from cold-chain goods to society in 2020, were given prison sentences varying from 39 to 57 months last Friday.
The three defendants, two surnamed Fu and one surnamed Zhang, from the company which is mainly engaged in the businesses of port cargo handling and human resource services were sentenced to jail for the crime of violating the rules of prevention and treatment of infectious disease. Their company was fined 800,000 yuan ($125,478).
Since four people hired by the company were identified as asymptomatic infections on December 5, 2020, a total of 83 confirmed and asymptomatic infections were reported in the flare-up caused by the company's irregular operations in cargo handling.
In mid-November 2020, a foreign cargo ship carrying imported cold-chain goods docked at Dalian port.
Between December 1 and 12, 2020, the defendant surnamed Zhang, who was appointed by one the defendants surnamed Fu, the actual controller of the company, to hire workers to handle imported cold-chain goods on the foreign cargo ship. Zhang also supervised the onsite operation.
Due to a series of non-standard operations that violated the regulations on epidemic prevention and control, the virus imported via the cold-chain goods was spread to society.
The violations included the failure to implement whole-process standard protection. Zhang neglected his supervision over operating personnel who did not wear masks according to requirements and eat meals in contaminated protective garments.
When arranging accommodation for the workers, another defendant surnamed Fu, who is the legal representative of the company and son of the company owner, failed to inform the hotel operator of the company employees' work content of handling imported cold-chain goods. The hotel where the workers stayed was open to the public.
Besides, the employees visited multiple public venues after work.
Zhang also organized workers who were later confirmed as infected with COVID-19 to dine out at restaurants which led to the virus spreading to residential compounds.
After the employees quit their job, they were not quarantined, did not take nucleic acid tests or monitor their health conditions for the following 14 days according to epidemic prevention regulations, which led to several merchants and consumers at a shopping mall contracting the virus.

Obama Officials Say Trump Press Secretary's Claim They Left Mean Notes Is a Lie
By Molly Olmstead
Nov 19, 20191:28 PM
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham at the White House on Sept. 9.

Trump Is a Remorseless Advocate of Crimes Against Humanity
On Tuesday, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham made the bizarre assertion that aides to President Barack Obama left taunting notes in the White House during the transition between administrations.
"We came into the White House, I'll tell you something," Grisham said, according to CNN's Abby Phillip. "Every office was filled with Obama books, and we had notes left behind that said, 'You will fail,' 'You aren't going to make it.' "
The claim was met with skepticism, as the odds that reports of such behavior from a rival party's administration would be withheld for nearly three years are low.
Those who worked in the White House at the time were quick to mock Grisham's claim and accuse her of lying.
A former special assistant to the president and senior director for arms control and nonproliferation at the National Security Council:
This is an outrageous lie. I know. I handed over the nuclear office at the NSC. Shameless and disgusting. @PressSec should be fired. https://t.co/6sXIqMnmJY
— Jon B. Wolfsthal - aka a Globalist (@JBWolfsthal) November 19, 2019
A former special assistant to the president and a spokesman for the National Security Council:
She's right about one point. I left a note -- tucked away in my desk -- for my successor. I wished him success and encouraged him not to grow jaded despite the pace and obstacles. I also left my personal email in case he wished to seek candid advice.
A former White House attorney:
I was there. This is a complete and utter lie. Quite the opposite -- we left them briefing books to try to help with the transition as much as possible. https://t.co/WxMNIiwBuV
— Daniel Jacobson (@Dan_F_Jacobson) November 19, 2019
The former deputy secretary for the Labor Department and White House Cabinet secretary:
This is absolutely not true.
Obama repeatedly and publicly praised Bush cooperation during 2009 transition, and pledged we would provide same cooperation to whoever followed us. And that's what we did.
If Grisham is correct, why has it taken 3 years to come out? https://t.co/QpN4JAGxhq
— Chris Lu (@ChrisLu44) November 19, 2019
A former White House press aide:
This is the note I left my successor. Really dispiriting to hear this from @PressSec, a person with whom I spent a couple amicable hours with during the the 2016 transition where I wished her nothing but institutional knowledge, good luck and all our support. https://t.co/kGb0pa59fp pic.twitter.com/Jtis9TEZK1
— Peter Velz (@petervelz) November 19, 2019
A former press secretary:
NEW: Read the note that former Obama press secretary Josh Earnest left on his desk for Sean Spicer.
He wrote it wasn't hard to set aside his political views "and genuinely root for you to success in this role."https://t.co/FqrJdEz8cI pic.twitter.com/FcP8ZzHKOY
— Josh Lederman (@JoshNBCNews) November 19, 2019
A former assistant to the president and director of the Presidential Personnel Office at the White House:
.@PressSec is absolutely lying. My team occupied almost an entire hallway of offices in the EEOB. Before I turned off the lights on Jan. 19, I did a walk-thru of every one of them to make sure all federal records (or other notes) were appropriately archived.
— Rudy Mehrbani (@RudyMehrbani) November 19, 2019
A former senior adviser to Obama:
Produce the notes that back this up. I cannot imagine a single one of my former colleagues who would do this. From @BarackObama on down, we all tried to help facilitate a smooth and orderly transition just as President Bush and his team had done for us. https://t.co/tjY3zGdRX8
— Valerie Jarrett (@ValerieJarrett) November 19, 2019
A former national security adviser:
This is another bald faced lie. https://t.co/E1U9KtdL77
— Susan Rice (@AmbassadorRice) November 19, 2019
The former director of speechwriting for Obama:
It's appalling that she thinks our notes would have been that lame. https://t.co/EZWFZYBgDA
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) November 19, 2019
In a statement to NBC News, Grisham later said she had exaggerated.
"I certainly wasn't implying every office had that issue," Grisham wrote, according to NBC. "In fact, I had a lovely note left for me in the East Wing, and I tracked the woman down and thanked her. I was talking specifically about our experience in the lower press office—nowhere else. I don't know why everyone is so sensitive!"
Technically, it would be very difficult to prove that someone, somewhere, did not leave an unpleasant note in the White House. But no one has yet come forward to back up Grisham's assertion, and several reporters have said that they saw no evidence of letters in the press area:
Closing the loop, the former press secretary to Michelle Obama provided the letter she says she left for the next first lady's communications director: Stephanie Grisham.
The note I left my East Wing successor, now @PressSec Stephanie Grisham. https://t.co/38mclNs0fE pic.twitter.com/vkNrXl32PZ

Have you finished your shopping yet? Don't forget to pick up some things for your cat! After all, Fluffy is an important part of the family! If you're trying to save money, or just like making things, why not make some of your pet's gifts? Here, an Omaha NE vet lists some DIY gifts for kitties.
To turn an old stepladder into a cat tower, just add smooth planks to the steps to widen them out. Then, wrap it in carpet or sisal rope. You can also do this with a metal storage rack or a bookshelf. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, use part of a real tree, or start from scratch using lumber or PVC pipe.
This one is super simple! Cut two identical mouse shapes into a cute piece of fabric. Sew them together, leaving just enough of an opening for you to put some catnip in through. Once it's stuffed, sew the hole closed. Voila!
Does your cat spend a lot of time looking out the window? If so, she's in good company! Make Fluffy a comfy window seat by adding a smooth plank to your windowsill to widen it out. You can also attach a pet bed, using Velcro or double-sided tape.
You can make Fluffy a cute bed out of a hard-shell suitcase or hatbox. Just prop it open, and use paint or varnish to make it look nice. Then, add some comfy bedding. Another cute option is to just put a comfy blanket into a cute crate or wicker box.
Turning an old litterbox into a planter is a great DIY gift. Clean the litterbox thoroughly, and then add soil and cat grass seeds. You'll need to give it time to grow, so get started a few weeks before the holiday.
Treats are great purr activators! Pick up a few containers of your kitty's favorite snacks. You can also give Fluffy some canned tuna, or some shredded deli meat. Cat milk is another good option. If you like baking, you can even make your pet some snacks. Look online for specific recipes. Just be sure to only use ingredients that are safe for your feline pal.
Happy Holidays! Please contact us, your Omaha NE vet clinic, if we can ever be of assistance. We're here to help!

Q: VBA to C# - Porting Userforms to Winforms? I am porting a Excel-VBA based app which uses Userforms over to a C# Winforms application.
How do I convert the Height and Width of the VBA-Userform to the same screen dimensions in the C#-Winforms application?  Is there a ratio that can use be used?
Currently the VBA-Userform has a dimension of 179.25 W x 245.25 H which is optimized for use on a quarter-VGA device.

A: I ended using a on-screen ruler that enabled me to measure the existing VBA userforms and then use the measurements (in pixels) to get the C# equivalent.

Q: How do I upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the latest stable release? I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I want to upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu. Is it possible? I read on this forum that I have to do a serial upgrading. If that is  the case, will all my software installed  previously be safe or do I have to reinstall them again? what happens to my data after upgrading?

A: Ubuntu offers two upgrade paths. The first is LTS->LTS and the second being stable release -> next stable release. In your case, you are running Ubuntu 10.04 which is a Long Term Stable (LTS) release. So if you want to the upgrade to the latest stable release which is 13.10 (at the time of this answer), your upgrade path would be 10.04->12.04->13.04->13.10.
My recommendation would be to wait until April 17th 2014 or later at which point Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be released. You can then easily upgrade to it by 10.04->12.04->14.04 which is much shorter.
Note: Always backup your personal data before performing an upgrade. You will always reinstall all your application but personal data which is lost is lost forever.

More than 4,000 lives were lost in the United States in 2014 alone due to motorcycle accidents. Many of these fatalities may have been prevented if the individual had been wearing a helmet approved by the Department of Transportation. There is overwhelming evidence that proves wearing a helmet can help prevent the potential for emotional, physical and economic damage caused by a motorcycle accident. Even though a motorcycle accident lawyer in New Orleans can help regardless of if you were wearing a helmet or not when an accident occurred, there are a number of benefits offered by donning this safety gear.
A common argument against wearing a helmet is they reduce a motorcyclist's ability to hear and see clearly. Another claim is the helmet can cause a motorcycle injury in New Orleans during a high-speed impact. The truth is, however, according to the CDC, neither of these claims are based on truth. A DOT approved helmet doesn't reduce visibility or increase the potential for injury if a motorcycle accident does occur. This means wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle is a smart decision.
The right helmet can help prevent serious injuries, especially to the brain, which is significantly vulnerable if you are involved in a high-speed motorcycle crash. A traumatic brain injury, such as brain bleeding or a contusion, can affect a person by hindering speech, memory and mobility. In fact, the most basic, everyday tasks can become challenging or impossible if you suffer a TBI. Also, doctors have linked TBIs to an increased chance of developing Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy.
A motorcycle accident lawyer in New Orleans can help you receive compensation for the injury, but they can't reverse the damage you have suffered. It is important to keep this in mind when you decide whether or not to wear a helmet while on your motorcycle.
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident resulting in the need for medical treatment and ongoing care, the costs can accumulate quickly. However, if you take proactive measures and wear a helmet while driving a motorcycle, you can avoid serious injuries and, as a result, significant medical costs. According to the CDC, helmets have saved the United States billions of dollars in health care and can save you several thousands of dollars, or more.
It is important to understand that even if you are wearing a helmet, you may still suffer an injury in a motorcycle crash. If you are injured, or if you have lost someone you loved in a fatal accident, don't wait to contact a motorcycle accident attorney. They can help you determine if you have a case worth pursuing for compensation.
If you need representation from a motorcycle accident attorney, be sure to contact us right away. We can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Apple issues watchOS 5.1 for Apple Watch Series 4 without ECG [u]
Tuesday, October 30, 2018, 10:09 am PT (01:09 pm ET)
Apple on Tuesday pushed out watchOS 5.1, bringing bug fixes, iOS 12.1 compatibility —but lacking an awaited ECG (electrocardiogram) app for Series 4 Apple Watches, as well as smaller changes for all compatible models.
The ECG app.
The update must be installed through the iPhone Watch app. An iPhone and Watch must also be within close range of each other, and the Watch must be on a charger and have at least 50 percent power.
The update lacks ECG support which was a major selling point of the Series 4, but has not been included since the wearable first shipped on Sept. 21. The technology relies on electrodes built into the base and the digital crown, allowing it to operate like a single-lead ECG sensor. This can be used to detect signs of atrial fibrillation, though Watches like the Series 3 can still perform this to a lesser degree.
Other changes are comparatively minor. The software supports Group FaceTime calls via audio, and some new watchface customization options.
watchOS 5.1 is available on all Apple Watches except for the first-generation model.
Update: ECG has not been enabled in the watchOS 5.1 update. AppleInsider regrets the error.

Two years ago in November one of my favorite additions to the shop was to announce that I was offering scripture bunting and then I later added in mini-scripture buntings. This had been a dream of mine for quite a while and I am so excited to offer it!
Over the last several years these items have been some of the most popular in the shop and this year one of my goals is to offer hundreds more of different kinds and styles this year. I have been working on memorizing new scripture for this year and am sharing lots of my favorite verses on these new buntings. I love these items and love that they can be a beautiful encouragement to each of you who purchase one.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love singing and this verse consistently reminds me of the beautiful truth of singing because the Lord is so good to me. This scripture bunting can be found HERE.
Psalm 145:20 has become an increasingly dear scripture verse to me over the last several months. This precious promise that the Lord watches over us has brought me great comfort and is a verse this past week with all of my scary health issues that I repeated hundreds of times, singing to myself as I was in an array of tests. This scripture bunting can be found HERE.
There are lots of other new buntings and options that you can find in the shop HERE! Dear friends, lets write scripture on our hearts and deep in our souls so that we can know the truth of God's word deeply and unequivocally. Truly He is good!
Awww thank you!! That is so sweet of you to say!! I hope that you have a wonderful week!

Eta to Impact Volusia County; County Under Tropical Storm Watch.
Wed, Nov 11, 2020 at 2:40PM
Hurricane Eta is forecasted to make landfall just north of Tampa before making a North, Northeastern track across the state. Eta is forecasted to weaken to a tropical depression after making landfall.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Volusia County is under a Tropical Storm Watch and the effects of the storm system are anticipated on Thursday. Sustained winds are forecast at 15 to 20 mph, reaching 25 to 30 mph in the most northwest part of the county. Passing squalls could produce gusts up to 45 mph. One to 2 inches of rain is expected, with higher amounts in pockets. There is a risk for tornadoes, with the highest chance in the northwest portion of the county.
"If you haven't done so already, secure items around your property—take down wind chimes, flags, and hanging plants, and move trash cans and lawn furniture indoors," said Jim Judge, Volusia County's emergency management director. "If you already did this for the first passing of Eta on Monday, wait to put things back out. As we always say, storms are unpredictable, and any change in the track can make a difference with conditions for our county."
Officials from Volusia County Emergency Management will continue to closely monitor Hurricane Eta and will work in conjunction with the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service out of Melbourne.
According to a release put out by the county, Trash cans and port-o-lets removed from the beach in preparation for Monday's inclement weather will not be replaced until after the passing of Eta. Damage has been reported at the north jetty in Ponce Inlet, making it difficult to access. Beach driving may be permitted Thursday but is likely to close by early afternoon in advance on the 5:14 p.m. high tide. Beach Safety will fly the red flag through the weekend, indicating high surf and strong rip currents.
Large amounts of seaweed can already be found along the beach and this is only expected to increase. Because of the time of year, small turtles, called washback's, are often caught in this seaweed. Individuals who find washback's should not put the animal back in the ocean or water. Instead, make sure the turtle is out of harm's way in a quiet, dry, shaded area and call Beach Safety at 386-239-6414. Between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., call the Volusia Sheriff's Office at 386-248-1777, ext. 6.
Residents can prepare and stay informed for this and future emergencies by downloading the Volusia County EM app, available free on the Google Play or App Store. Residents can also follow Volusia County Emergency Management on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates related to Volusia County.
