Not only is David an amazing speaker (and long-time HubSpot friend and advisor), he's also a Toastmaster! David co-founded a Toastmasters club in Tokyo 20+ years ago, did it for 6 years, and even served as President for part of that time. David shares - among other great tips - that Toastmasters was one of the best things he did to build the basic speaking skills that led to where he is today.
Practice among friends! That's why David recommends Toastmasters - it's a great way to get experience so that you improve your skills and get more comfortable.
Looking to make a good speech great?
Great speeches have a lot of elements that need to come together - from body language to content to so much more. David works with a speaker coach to focus on a particular aspect of his speech for each presentation. For one presentation it might be eliminating distracting movement, in another, it might be adding more dramatic pauses. Pick one element you want to work on in each speech you deliver (hey, that sounds like the Toastmasters program!).
David is a big proponent of Toastmasters and shared, "Toastmasters is so great because it gives you a chance to speak in front of a welcoming and encouraging audience that can help you get better."
Thanks to David for making it out to our club - can't wait for you to attend an upcoming meeting!
And now, David Meerman Scott's TEDx talk on "The Need to Explore" - congrats, David, this turned out fantastic!

Use of smart robot for distribution of zamzam water at two holy mosques to restart
The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has resumed the use of smart robots to distribute zamzam water bottles to the congregation and visitors of the two holy mosques.
The decision was made following the reimposition of the the wearing of face masks as well as social distancing measures at all locations starting late last month.
Deputy Secretary of the Zamzam Watering Department, Badr Al-Laqmani, said the smart robot technology is capable of distributing 30 bottles of zamzam water within 10 minutes and it could work for up to eight hours without human intervention.
He further explained that efforts are being made to widen the operation of robots in the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, including for the handling of portable bags and cylinders.
"We strive to provide the highest level of safety and quality for visitors to the Grand Mosque," he said.
He added that, as a precautionary measure and to make full use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, his party is planning to develop a contactless 'sensor' on the marble tanks that distribute zamzam water throughout the Grand Mosque.

In 1997, Julia Burnier made a decision to leave her career as a research chemist and focus her energy and creativity into developing a Spanish program for elementary schools.(About the Author). She felt that too many Spanish students were not learning much and not liking it. She wanted to develop a Spanish program that works. Now, she and her teachers teach over 1500 students in San Diego with both after school and in school instruction (Spanish Classes in San Diego) and hundreds of Spanish teachers around the country are using the Sing 'n Speak Spanish curriculum.
Sing' n Speak Spanish is an extensive five-year program that takes elementary aged children far beyond most elementary Spanish curricula. View our Spanish Curriculum to see the themes taught in each course. Our Scope & Sequence Chart illustrates how easily you can incorporate this flexible curriculum into your school from year to year.
* Each lesson plan includes a variety of interactive activities that make the necessary repetition for long term retention fun. Our lessons include colorful and humorous visuals, movement, singing, puppetry, games, stories, role-play, and more.
* Each lesson is carefully designed to result in a fast-paced energetic class that is multi-sensory and reaches children of all learning styles. Click on Teaching Tips to get ideas on how to have a dynamic Spanish class.
* Engage most of the students most of the time, constantly spiraling-in previously learned vocabulary and grammar.
* Use TPR gestures in the presentation of new vocabulary and in sentence-building, in the teaching of songs, and in numerous activities. View our Teaching Videos to see examples of how we use TPR to teach songs and introduce vocabulary.
* Our Spanish program uses a Comprehensible Input model which is language input that can be understood by listeners despite them not understanding all the words and structures in it. Our teachers speak mostly in Spanish with lots of gestures but use some English to aid student comprehension.
* Humor is liberally sprinkled throughout each lesson. Laughter eases tension and makes learning fun.
* Students have workbooks and music CDs and songbooks to continue learning at home.

Q: Multiple Prototype Cells are showing fixed height I am new to IOS, I am trying to make multiple prototype cells in UITableView, but always I am getting same size of rows, no idea why it's behaving like this. I have searched a lot! but no clue, any help will be great for me. Thanks in advance.This is the image for what I am doing and this is what I am getting as output.
here is my code for DataSource methods....
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:
   (NSInteger)section
 {
    return 12;
 }

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
   cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
  {
     NSInteger count = indexPath.row;
     if(count == 0)
     {
         DetailPostCell *Cell1 = (DetailPostCell *)[tableView
          dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Cell1"
            forIndexPath:indexPath];
       return  Cell1;
    }
    else
    {
         CommentCell *Cell2 = (CommentCell *)[tableView
          dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Cell2"
            forIndexPath:indexPath];
         return Cell2;
     }
 }

A: you didn't set your layoutconstraint properly.
How?
Remember to add top and bottom constraint at least in one outlet in your cell.just like this.

And
In your view controller's viewDidLoad.write these two lines.
self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 88.0//your estimated height.don't worry it will take what your custom cell want.:)
self.tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

A: Implement the delegate method for setting height of prototype cell, in this case first cell needs some different height than other cells. If you return proper height for each cell the content of cell appear properly.
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if(indexPath.row == 0) {
        return  //Desired hight of your first cell;
    }
    else {
        return  //Desired hight of your rest cells;
    }
}

according to the white paper http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4679/en/ on shared variables, the variables are made available to the network when the 10-ms timer of the LogosTX is fired. However, in the labview project, I can set the "Network Publishing Period" manually. How are they related to each other? Is the network publishing period restricted to the 10-ms of the shared variable engine?
I checked it with LabVIEW 2017 and it coerces the Network Publishing Period to 10ms when I input value lower than that.
Do you need to update shared variables in shorter period? Can you explain how you want to use this information?
Hi and thanks for your respose.
I was wondering how the publishing perion can be set by two different methods, but now it makes sense.
The data are transfered through the network only for monitoring/parameter adjustment, so it is not time critical.

Q: How to pass class object to activity I have a BarcodeReaderActivity which I'll start in a couple of activities and before I start this Activity, I want to pass a destinationActivity class for this BarcodeReaderActivity so after reading QR code, I want it to open destination Activity with Intent.
My first solution is to pass destination class name as string and use switch case in BarcodeReaderActivity and write specific Intent for that class.
I also tried to create BarcodeReaderas Fragment first but then when I start the destination Activity and then remove the Fragment it shows the previous Activity for a short amount of time but I don't want that to happen.
I would like to get some advice from you, if you know a better approach.

A: You can pass objects between Android Activities. The best way to do it is to implement Parcelable interface from Android SDK. After that, you can add your object to the Intent responsible for starting new Activity with putExtra("parcelName", object) method.To read Parcelable object in antoher activity you can use such code snippet:
getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("parcelName")
I've found nice example presenting this idea here: http://shri.blog.kraya.co.uk/2010/04/26/android-parcel-data-to-pass-between-activities-using-parcelable-classes/
Moreover, if you want to avoid tons of boilerplate code, you can use auto-parcel library, which can generate some repeatable stuff for you.

A: You could build required Intent outside BarcodeReaderActivity and pass it as extra. If needed you can change this intent later in BarcodeReaderActivity.
Something like this:
Intent finalIntent = new Intent( context, FinalActivity.class );
Intent barcodeIntent = new Intent( context, BarcodeReaderActivity.class );
barcodeIntent.putExtra( "finalintentkey", finalIntent);
context.startActivity(barcodeIntent);

then in your BarcodeReaderActivity retrieve intent (and modify it as needed):
Intent finalIntent = getIntent().getParcelableExtra( "finalintentkey" );
// if needed modify intent here
finalIntent.addExtra( "somekey", someneededvalue );
startActivity( finalIntent );

// BarcodeReaderActivity can be finished now
finish();

Q: Is there a way to attach images to a question?
Possible Duplicate:
How to upload an image to a post?

I have a screenshot but I don't have a server to host it on.
Is there a way for me to just attach the image to the question?

A: http://www.google.com/search?q=free+image+hosting
I've used ImageShack and ImgUr before without incident, though I think ImageShack may be blocked by some corporate firewalls.
or, we now support integrated image hosting using the image insert toolbar button:
https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/new-image-upload-support/

A: When using the built-in image upload no need to worry about anything. It happens to use imgur, but it uses a pro account, ensuring images will never expire.
For personal use, imgur is good too if you want to throw up an image with no fuss. Images posted are allowed to stay up for a period of three (3) months with no activity before they are deleted. If you view your image before the three months are up, it'll be around.
If you want something where you can have an account, you can also try something like Photobucket.
Whatever you do, don't go with TinyPic. They don't like it when you hotlink images (the whole point) and will only allow you a cruddy thumbnail.

A: I put images in my dropbox "public" folder, right click the file, "dropbox - copy public link". Very simple, no fuzz with upload forms.

A: I use ImgUr and TinyPic.  I don't know what random
is talking about when he says TinyPic only gives you a cruddy thumbnail.

To quickly produce images from the screen, I use cropper, which is a basic, free , and extensible screen-shot tool, plus one or more of the cropper plugins (also free). There's a "Send to Paint.NET" plugin for cropper if you want to doctor the image before uploading.  You can toggle from "Sent to Paint.NET" to "Send to TinyPic" easily, so...

*

*snapshot (send to Paint.NET)

*scribble on the image

*snapshot (send to TinyPic, or ImgUr, or Flickr, etc)

It took 1 keystroke and about 3 seconds to get the image in this post up to TinyPic.

A: I just use Flickr because I already have a Yahoo! account.

Connect with Saige Martin
Saige will be the first openly LGBTQ, Latinx person on the Raleigh City Council
Saige Martin was born to a 15-year-old Puerto Rican father and a 15-year-old mother in foster care. Upon finding out she was pregnant, Saige's mother was forced out of her home and Saige grew up homeless.
Growing up homeless showed Saige what it meant to fight for those that you love. It showed him what it meant to put your people first and how to stand up to injustice and inequality.
Saige was the first person from his biological family and adopted family to go to college. He received a B.A. in cultural anthropology from Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) in Honolulu, HI. At HPU Saige was elected Student Body President as a sophomore where he worked with the city, county and Governor's office on multiple issues affecting the student body.
After HPU, Saige began a job with the United Nations in Istanbul, Turkey where he worked with refugees from all over the middle east. This work took him to the easternmost provinces of Turkey where he worked hand-in-hand with Syrian refugees fleeing the civil war.
A year later Saige took an opportunity at headquarters to work for the UN Millennium Campaign in New York City. He met his soon-to-be husband who grew up in Raleigh. And after a year of intense travel for work, he made Raleigh his home.
In 2012 Saige worked for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign in southern Philadelphia, and in 2015 was hired as one of the first 100 people for the Hillary for America campaign as a consultant.

You could be forgiven for interpreting the appointment last week of the first female chief justice of our High Court as evidence the manifold injustices routinely suffered by the female half of the population are being swept away. And it is indeed true that Susan Kiefel's ascendancy to the nation's pre-eminent judicial post does represent progress. It's long overdue. Her appointment, after all, ends 113 years of men leading Australia's constitutional court. And it takes the number of women on the seven-member bench to three.
There was a touch of irony in the timing of Susan Kiefel's appointment. It came only days after the Victorian Women's Trust, led by one of Australia's leading gender policy experts, Mary Crooks, staged over two days the biggest gender equality conference in Australian history, Breakthrough. The very fact the packed event, at which there were 100 speakers, occurred indicates there's still a big problem.
There is abundant evidence we have a long way to go before we can rightly claim to live in a fair, enlightened society and economy. Here's but a taste. Only a matter of days before Breakthrough, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, using data from more than 12,000 employers and 4 million employees, reported that although women comprise half of the nation's workforce, they still earn less than men at every level. A hell of a lot less – $27,000 on average and almost $100,000 less at the executive level. Not that there are that many female executives. Fewer than 17 per cent of chief executives are women and only a little more than a third of management roles are held by women.
In a land that prides itself on the notion of a fair go, that is pathetically unfair. It's also dumb to the point of negligent; international evidence shows that companies with gender-balanced boards make better profits. So, all you big, swinging middle-class white fellas in the boardrooms and the corner offices, your ongoing refusal to properly participate in power-sharing is not only selfish and cowardly, you're letting your shareholders down.
The pay gap is biggest in the financial sector – about 36 per cent. And despite my industry probably being less bad in terms of gender inequality than some others, the gap in media is also shockingly high – almost 25 per cent. Australia is far from being the only place mired in long-running gender injustice. Even in Iceland, considered one of the most progressive societies, there's a gap of 14 per cent. Thousands of women in Iceland recently came up with a fabulous response: they left work 14 per cent early.
Targets work. Women in Victoria now hold almost half the seats on paid government boards, only 18 months after Premier Daniel Andrews declared he wanted equal representation in public boardrooms, As recently as the start of this year, the proportion was below 40 per cent. The government is poised to expand the use of targets.
It was with such facts and figures in mind that I spoke at and moderated a Breakthrough session on the situation in the media. Yes, there has been progress in newsrooms and press galleries, but it's insufficient. The inequality is measured not only by the pay gap. The upper echelons of media companies and their journalistic operations continue to be dominated by men.
The audience at our session was left in no doubt just how ridiculously unfair the situation remains. Broadcaster Jessica Rowe, who is loving her current role as co-host of a talk show because she has a platform for her views, talked of her times in male-dominated newsrooms, when she and other women had to protect each other from appalling discrimination and harassment. She spoke, too, of her infamous experience of being ``boned" (sacked) from Channel Nine by Eddie McGuire in a typical bout of gormless macho bastardry. He did call Jess's home to apologise – to her husband Peter – and claim he had never used the term ``boned". Really.
Kerry-Anne Walsh, a renowned person of long journalistic, political and corporate experience, recounted the breathtaking prejudice she experienced in the media. She was ``given the chance" by a man to be a leader in the Canberra press gallery. She was paid less than her male predecessor and when she moved on, her male successor was paid more than she had been.
Award-winning screen producer and Adjunct Professor at RMIT University, Sue Maslin, explained that studios are only now coming to understand the need to appeal to a female audience, and that this is best done by films made by women. Sue is optimistic, partly because her industry has realised hard and fast targets do create change – more of which in a moment.
Lola Forrester, a celebrated broadcaster, producer, presenter and model, added an extra layer of understanding by telling of just how hard it is for an Indigenous woman to get anywhere in the media.
Listening to Lola, Sue, Kerry-Anne and Jess buttressed the conclusion I had reached when thinking about what to say at the event. I understand and have sympathy for the arguments against quotas. And maybe they should be kept as a last resort, a threat of sorts to the men who refuse to relinquish power. But, across the board, not just in media, there should be enforceable gender equality targets. There are some (only about 13 per cent of boards have a gender target) but they should be mandatory. And actually meeting them should be among the most important criteria on which the performance of managers and executives is judged.
So yes, there has been progress and yes, meritocracy should of course be the goal. But, despite all the talk over decades, the progress has clearly been so slow and inadequate that we remain far from meritocracy. Breaking through the barriers to that unimpeachable goal requires transparent action – by men who have the guts and decency to want to compete fairly, rather than perpetuating and exploiting injustice. Sounds like it might make a fine test case for the High Court.


When it comes to accessing the arts, many teenagers don't know where to start.
That's what the nonprofit arts organization Urban Gateways says it discovered after surveying more than 1,000 young people in Chicago.
"The cost of a ticket was a huge barrier, as well as finding information about what was out there," said Eric Delli Bovi, executive director of Urban Gateways.
To help alleviate those barriers, Urban Gateways worked with teens to create the Teen Arts Pass, or TAP. The program lets young adults between the ages of 13-19 buy same-day $5 tickets to cultural events in the city, whether that be a music concert, an exhibition or a play.
To participate, teens sign up for a pass they can use at any of the program's 25 partners – each having agreed to offer the discount. Among the participating venues are the Goodman Theatre and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Delli Bovi recommends they call the box office after they find an event on the calendar, which is available on the program's website.
The program has nearly 1,500 registrants since it first launched last month. Delli Bovi says several more are signing up every day and in a few months, Urban Gateways will begin to look at data to see how many are using TAP.
"What we hope through this program is teens know that it's encouraged to try and do new things, and that the risk is pretty low," Delli Bovi says.
Delli Bovi and two teens involved with the making of TAP – Devon Ward and Ida Claude – join us to discuss this new initiative.

Companies join forces to set up a vaccination hub in the Capitale Nationale region
The population of the Capitale-Nationale region, as well as the employees of the participating companies and the members of their immediate family, will have access to this new vaccination hub.
This site will be in service starting the end of May. It will be located at the new cruise terminal at the Port of Quebec.
It is expected that approximately 25,000 people will be vaccinated by September.
Quebec City, April 26, 2021 – In order to actively contribute to the immense vaccination effort in Quebec and support the community, more than fifteen Quebec companies have rallied together to offer a vaccination hub in the Capitale-Nationale region.
This site, which is named Pôle des entreprises de la Capitale-Nationale (Capitale-Nationale Region Enterprise Hub), results from the collaboration of the following companies: iA Financial Group, the Port of Quebec and its partners (Groupe Desgagnés, Groupe Océan, QSL, G3 Canada Limited, IMTT, Béton provincial), Beneva (which results from the merger of La Capitale and SSQ Insurance), Promutuel Insurance, Beenox and Coveo. This group of businesses is working closely with the Quebec City CIUSSS (integrated university health and social services centre).
The Capitale-Nationale Region Enterprise Hub will be located in the new cruise terminal at the Port of Quebec, located at pier 30, 300 de l'Estuaire Street (see the attached map). The Port of Quebec has graciously offered this exceptional site which features large and quality accommodations as well as free parking.
The Capitale-Nationale Region Enterprise Hub will be open to the population of the Capitale-Nationale region, including some 15,000 employees of the participating companies and the members of their immediate family, while respecting the order of priority set by the Government of Quebec.
In total, it is expected that the Capitale-Nationale Region Enterprise Hub will have the capacity to vaccinate approximately 25,000 people (50,000 doses of vaccine), starting the end of May. The Hub should be in service until the end of September. The participating companies have committed to assuming the costs of setting up and operating the Hub, which includes the site, personnel and all logistical support.
Reservations for vaccination will be available, at a later date, via the Ministry of Health and Social Service's Clic Santé platform.
More details regarding the Capitale-Nationale Region Enterprise Hub will be made available as soon as possible.

Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody tells all about the inspiration behind their new release, 'Wildness,' on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast.
When Snow Patrol released their last album, Fallen Empires, Obama was still in his first term, Justin Bieber was 17 years old and Game of Thrones had just aired its first season. The thematically ambitious follow-up, Wildness, is finally out, but where have they been for the last seven years? Frontman Gary Lightbody explained the struggles behind that delay, his experiences working with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, and much more, in an in-depth interview on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, hosted by Brian Hiatt. Here are some highlights from the conversation. To hear the entire discussion, press play below or download and subscribe on iTunes or Spotify.
There was one major cause for the delay between the albums.
Lightbody was also trying to broaden his subject matter – and the album ended up addressing his depression, his father's Alzheimer's, and more.
Hearing a Nick Cave song helped inspire the new album.
Lightbody bonded with band pal Ed Sheeran – who's touring with Snow Patrol beginning in August – over Bon Iver.
He has fond memories of collaborating with Taylor Swift on "The Last Time," from Red.

Children light candles outside Le Petit Cambodge restaurant on Nov. 14, 2015, in Paris.
Traumatic world events are difficult to contextualize for children this young. It's not on the same scale as an event that touches them personally, but it makes no impact on any larger scale (say, a pet dying or a parent or sibling being injured). Their knowledge and lasting impact depends entirely on their parents, who are their emotional models. This is not just understanding mentally what occurred, but understanding how to process things emotionally and literally understanding how to act, both privately and in public.
Two things happened in my family in this age range: Chile had a major earthquake (my entire family lives in the prime damage zone—the capital city area—including my mother). I was dealing with figuring out how everyone was doing with limited connectivity and dealing with consulates. Also, the Ariel Castro horror was discovered, which while not a traumatic world event per se, certainly was a horrific national news event for a while.
I handled the former much better than the latter. The point is that as much as we'd love to be able to deal with and process emotions on our own time frame, when you have young children who are just learning about the world, the stability or fragility of their physical and emotional environment, and the limits or freedom of their exploration, you can't afford this indulgence in an unmodified fashion. It will affect your child. Feel and process, of course, but be mindful of how personally your child is taking everything.
Between 4 and 8, they are starting to move from a very ego-centric mind frame to a more empathetic mind frame. The older they are, the better they can understand that your unhappy feelings are NOT caused by them. (As they assume all happy feelings are caused by them.) It's an important distinction. When they're younger, despite what you say, they will have some belief that your unhappy feelings involve their action or inaction, simply because it is nearly impossible for them to imagine some mindset that does not involve them as the primary protagonist. This is a really packed concept, but hopefully clear enough in short form here.
In this older phase, however, they begin understanding the larger world and its impact on them and other people. If they hear of something occurring in the world, they do not necessarily assume that they are the cause (but they may not have any interest, either). However, they still take their parents as the key emotional and psychological response models. Express your emotions and discuss the events that are occurring in broad terms. However, try to refrain from detailed descriptions, as these tend to work their ways into vivid dreams and nightmares, which lead to latching onto these in fear. ("I'm so worried about those hostages in Paris. I hope they're OK." versus "I can't believe how many of those people were blown up! Turn on the news—check out those bodies! They shot dozens of people—it's incredible. Is it the start of a war with ISIS?") While you may think kids are inured to images of violence and gore, they're really not, especially at this age.
We had this one when the girls were taken from the school in Nigeria (and then essentially forgotten). We followed that daily, and our daughter had just started school, not understanding why the girls were out of school and why their parents weren't putting them back in to play. We had to explain cultural differences, the luck of our own parents' immigration to the U.S., the value of girls in different societies, and our own unwavering high value of her. She had a lot of very interesting questions. I've never been so grateful to be in a country that forces all children to go to school in my life.
The big fear for them at this age is: "Why are Mommy and Daddy afraid or upset? Will this happen to me? Did this happen to people I know? Has this maybe not happened yet, but will happen?" (You'd be amazed: Kids have great imaginations, and they can involve time travel.) They could be forced to make some awful choice—hard choices are actually an issue at this age, as they are learning about consequences and working through sequential actions. The learning process for making choices and decisions continues through the early 20s and causes considerable stress until—and even after—then.
The best way to handle it is to explain briefly and factually what is going on. I don't believe in hiding information from children if at all possible. Make the discussion understandable at their age level, and don't indulge in undue description or ornate adjectives. Just a description and that you are upset and/or angry (or whatever) because this happened. Then ask if they have questions. Don't laugh at any of them or dismiss them, no matter how ridiculous or obscure they may seem. These are genuine questions and fears, and they represent a brave offering from your child. If you want your child to remain curious and maintain open communication with you as a teenager and adult, do not discourage or judge any form of communication. Give all forms the respect they deserve.
Then remind them that they are welcome to ask you more questions whenever they want about this or any other issue. And end with a giant hug and a kiss. Note: This works as a great ending to pretty much everything—questions, hair-brushing, dressing, coming home from school, reading, homework, going to the bathroom, etc. Try it. It's like the perfect lipstick—it goes with everything.
Children: What are the scariest scenes in children's movies?
Current events: Why can't we just declare war on ISIS and utterly destroy them?

As it is evidently clear by how he is portrayed on Raw, Cesaro isn't being given a push by the WWE anytime soon because Vince McMahon believes he can't connect with the crowd. I guess the Cesaro section doesn't exist then!
Anywho, several ideas have been thrown around over how to push The Swiss Sensation on TV to establish this so-called missing connection with the WWE Universe. Ric Flair is another man that has come up with a brilliant idea for him.
The WWE Hall of Famer has said on the latest edition of the WOOOOO! Nation podcast how he would elevate and fix Cesaro's mic skills and bring himself back into the mix. By becoming The King of Swing's manager.
He said: "Who brings more to the table as a performer, if you look at raw ability, than Cesaro? Nobody! I mean, that kid is phenomenal! But, he's one week on, one week off, and I think that's part of the problem.
"I know how they can resolve that mic issue. Dial 9-1-1-Naitch!"
This is a great idea on the face of it, but we must remember the WWE has pulled the same stunt with Cesaro and a manager in the past, as he was once paired up with Paul Heyman. That wasn't as successful as people anticipated and it did set him back a bit in my opinion.
Then there was the incident with Zeb Colter and The Real Americans tag team with Jack Swagger. That didn't exactly go off without a hitch either. But you never know, maybe third time is the charm.
Many fans just want to see more of Cesaro on their TV screens, no matter what the cost because he is such a talented wrestler. Whether that be a WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a heel turn, or a pairing with The Nature Boy, the WWE Universe just want to see more of The Swiss Sensation.

Q: Does Noctis take fall damage? In many games, falling from a decent height will damage the player. I've fallen from maybe 20 or 30 feet and taken no damage, so I'm wondering if it's even possible to take fall damage. Whenever I find a nice cliff to try to jump from, I'm prevented from potentially killing myself by a nice, invisible wall. Is there a certain height threshold that if I fall from, I'll take damage? Or is there just no fall damage in this game?
Apologies if this is like previous Final Fantasy titles. The last Final Fantasy I played was VII and there was no such thing as falling in that game.

A: Yes, you can take fall damage.
In the quest line for Dino at Guldan Quay, you have to find an ore outcrop. I fell off the cliff this was on top of and took 243 damage.
I didn't jump off the cliff, which might be a contributing factor, as a jump from height seems to produce a landing roll.
Edit
I have been unable to reproduce this in any way since.
Further edit
This is reproducable easily by jumping over the top tier of stairs on a watchtower. I have included a video of this.

Extradition Trial Of Fugitive Business Tycoon Vijay Mallya To Resume In UK Court
IndiatimesUpdated on Dec 03, 2017, 17:21 IST
Vijay Mallya, who is out on a 650,000-pound bail bond over fraud and money laundering charges earlier this year, will return to Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Monday as his extradition trial begins.
The 61-year-old businessman, who has been in self-imposed exile in the UK since March 2016 when he left India, is wanted in India on charges relating to his defunct Kingfisher Airlines defaulting on loans from various Indian banks amounting to Rs 9,000 crore.
The former Rajya Sabha member has claimed that he has "done nothing wrong" and described the allegations against him as "fabricated".
"We are keen to draw a line under all the material – evidential and non-evidential," barrister Clare Montgomery said during the last case management hearing on November 20.
The trial is set to open with opening arguments, followed by the witness statement of Dr B Humphreys, who is an aviation expert.
Others expected to give their statements for the defence include Margaret Sweeney, chief accountant at Force India Formula One racing team, Professor Lau as an expert on the Indian legal system, and Dr Alan Mitchell, a licensed medical practitioner and a former medical officer with the Scottish prison system.

At a previous hearing in the Mallya case, Chief Magistrate Emma Louise Arbuthnot had also highlighted prison conditions as a concern that has been "raised in extraditions to India before".
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), arguing on behalf of the Indian government, had told her that the Indian authorities have foreseen this as an issue and have been "engaged on the matter".
The CPS team, led by barrister Mark Summers who specializes in extradition cases, highlighted "excellent cooperation with the Indian authorities", who had provided detailed assurances and photographs by email relating to prison conditions where Mallya is to be held if he were to be extradited to India.
If the judge rules in favour of extradition at the end of the trial, UK home secretary Amber Rudd must order Mallya's extradition within two months. However, the case can go through a series of court appeals before the actual extradition order can be issued.

India and the UK have an Extradition Treaty dating back to 1992 but so far only one extradition has taken place from the UK to India under the arrangement, that of Samirbhai Vinubhai Patel wanted in connection with the post-Godhra riots of 2002. But, unlike Mallya, he had submitted to the extradition order without a legal challenge.
Mallya, who has been based at his Hertfordshire estate called Ladywalk in the village of Tewin, around 30 miles from London, had responded with a firm "no" on being formally asked in court if he consented to be extradited to India on the charges relating to his collapsed Kingfisher Airlines.

Photo Hunter "What IS that?"
Based on the movie: Batman- The Dark Knight's huge success- it's undeniable that comics is still so popular and largely accepted by the general public.
Honestly, I never was a comic-addict. I mean, it wasn't long ago when people in our town has been so addicted with comic booklets. They're everywhere in the market, in the ferry boats and even in school. Okay, I would say, our town was kind of remote then when I was a kid. There was no TV- thus, making the soap operas on the radio and comic booklets such a hit. Oh, I even remembered how my classmate oftentimes came in late in school because he doesn't want to miss the episode and that he's worried somebody might borrow it. Did I tell you that comic booklets are displayed in the market and they are for rent? You might think it's funny but that's how it worked. They are just cheap maybe but not too cheap if you want to buy the whole edition, LOL! Oh, one more thing- did you know that one of my grade school teacher was so addicted to it that she doesn't mind squatting on the floor in the market just to read her favorite story? Crazy, huh? I mean, I was young then but I thought that was hilariously stupid, LOL! Yes, we do have our own Comic Super Heroes too!
Kids just loved watching those. My niece and nephew oftentimes would narrate to me (on the phone)- what happened to their favorite Super Hero "Kapitan Boom", haha! I don't have any idea though what they're talking about. Ah, the spirit of being a kid!
that's cool! borrowing comics as if you were borrowing a vcd/dvd from a video shop.
yap, kahit butas-butas na at luma, sige pa rin, lol!

Drosophila chocolata är en tvåvingeart inom släktet Drosophila som är endemisk för Madagaskar. Arten beskrevs av Jean Robert David & Amir Yassin år 2019.

Utseende
Både honor och hannar har liknande utseende, artens kropp har brun pigmentering och haltererna är vita. Den bruna färgen på kroppen är orsaken till artnamnet chocolata.

Utbredning och ekologi
Arten är endemisk för Madagaskar och har hittats vid flera olika platser på ön. Arten liknar till viss del Drosophila ifestia, en art som lever i bergslandskap i östra Afrika, D. chocolata har dock hittats på varierande höjder och är inte begränsad till berg. Arten kan födas upp med föda som normalt används vid experiment med Drosophila, den kräver alltså inte någon specifik föda eller miljö för att föröka sig.

Släktskap
D. chocolata är en del av artundergruppen Drosophila seguyi och artkomplexet Drosophila seguyi som innehåller dess närmaste släktingar Drosophila curta, Drosophila malagassya och Drosophila seguyi.

Costume designer creates 'magical' work for Twin Cities theaters
Costume designer Trevor Bowen shapes how an audience experiences characters in Twin Cities theaters.
By Kevyn Burger Special to the Star Tribune
October 9, 2017 — 12:30pm
Trevor Bowen doesn't know what he's looking for — until he sees it.
The freelance costume designer regularly scours thrift shops and vintage stores, picking through racks for castoffs with the potential to be transformed for the spotlight.
When Bowen finds a red velvet bathrobe, he sees a king's regal cloak. A beaded dress becomes a burlesque costume. A man's plaid wool jacket sets the scene in a hunting lodge.
"I see the possibility of a garment," he said.
He doesn't just dress actors, he creates costumes that advance the narrative, a skill that has made him an in-demand collaborator at local theaters.
"Nothing with a costume is accidental," he said. "A flat two-dimensional thing becomes a direct line to the work of illuminating a character for the audience and finding the back story for the actor."
RENÉE JONES SCHNEIDER, Star Tribune
Trevor Bowen, a freelance costume designer, has a unique ability to create costumes that advance a story on on stage, making him an in-demand collaborator at local theaters. these are sketches for the production Electra photographed on Friday, September 22, 2017, in Minneapolis, Minn.
Since arriving in Minnesota by chance four years ago, Bowen, 35, has outfitted various productions at Twin Cities companies, from Theater Latté Da to Park Square to the History Theatre to Ten Thousand Things, earning an emerging artist award at the Iveys last year.
"As a director, I get to select designers, and I campaign for Trevor," said Peter Rothstein, who has worked with Bowen on four productions.
"We did a modern setting of 'Romeo and Juliet' and he brought his great eye for how contemporary fashion carries meaning," Rothstein said. "When we did 'Ragtime,' which is set in 1906, he used costumes to interpret race, class and gender to a current audience."
Bowen is busy, often simultaneously researching designs for one show, scheduling fittings for another and stitching costumes for a third. For each production, he builds what he calls a "show bible," a three-ring binder that holds the annotated script with "costume plots" for each character. He uses a detailed spreadsheet to track every costume element on a grid, right down to the socks, jewelry and undergarments.
Bowen has outfitted Twin Cities actress Regina Marie Williams for half a dozen roles, including a black dress for her title character in "Nina Simone: Four Women" and a slinky red number for her turn as jazz singer Shug Avery in "The Color Purple."
"It was a showstopper. I could hear people sigh when I made my entrance," Williams said. "A costume like that lifts you into the character. You slip it on and you go, 'Oh, I see.' It tells you how to move, how to breathe."
Williams has come to trust Bowen and the intimate nature of their collaboration, which often takes place in a fitting room.
"He comes prepared and listens respectfully. It puts my mind at ease when I know Trevor is doing a show."
Bowen stumbled into sewing when he was 12.
He decided that his Walkman needed a fabric pouch. He explained his idea to his grandmother, who helped him find fabric and make a pattern, then she parked him behind her sewing machine, where he stitched it himself.
"It was a great life lesson about learning a skill," Bowen said.
The son of a Head Start teacher and a janitor, Bowen was born and raised in Altus, Okla.
His interest in theater began with acting. In high school, he participated in drama competitions and performed in school productions and community charity shows.
"When you're a teenager and not comfortable with who you are, it was wonderful to see how I could detach and be comfortable in a role," he said.
Naturally reserved, he realized he was more suited to backstage work while studying theater at Southwestern Oklahoma State. He was assigned to wardrobe for a production of "Tartuffe," the French classic set in the 17th century.
"I worked with costumes and helped with quick changes and lacing corsets," he said. "When I didn't even mind doing the laundry, I thought, 'This is where I fit.' "
Bowen went on to earn an MFA in costume design at West Virginia University, where he perfected his tailoring techniques and learned to sketch costumes, make patterns and collaborate with performers and directors.
"I started looking at the overall picture, how each garment serves a function," he said. "That unlocked a level of work that I didn't know I could do."
After graduating, Bowen worked alongside Broadway veterans in regional theaters in Connecticut and New Jersey. In 2013, he heard about a job as a design assistant at the Guthrie and agreed to a nine-month contract at the Minneapolis theater.
When that gig ended, a new acquaintance recommended Bowen to Faye Price, artistic director at Pillsbury House Theatre, for "The Road Weeps, the Well Runs Dry," a drama about the relationships between African-Americans and Seminoles who settled the same Great Plains town.
"Talking to him, I knew right away that he was our guy," Price said. "This show is a specific place in history and he got it. Costumes have no words, but put a lot across about characters. They can tell you who is powerful, who is poor. What he came up with — on our budget — was nothing short of magical."
Outfitting a cast with an eye to the cost is a constant challenge for Bowen. He buys some costumes, borrows and reworks others and creates some from scratch in a tiny basement workroom in the apartment building where he lives and keeps his sewing machine, serger, dye pot and tailoring tools.
Responsible for everything a character wears, Bowen has boxes, bins and zip-top bags filled with ties, jewelry, eyeglasses and buttons he's collected.
"I say Trevor is the hardest working man in show business," said Mixed Blood Theatre artistic director Jack Reuler.
"I marvel at what he accomplishes for the theater-makers in town. We have a small permanent year-round staff, and so our mission is accomplished on the backs of talented freelancers," Reuler said.
"If we are going to be as good as what we say we are with our productions, we need people like Trevor to make our claim."
Some of Bowen's theatrical collaborators are worried he'll be lured away to Chicago or New York.
But Bowen, who's booked for back-to-back productions for the next year, said he feels rooted in the Twin Cities theater community that he stumbled into by chance.
"Work begets work and without really trying, I've developed a network of relationships with directors and fellow designers," he said. "One day, I realized, 'I should stay here.'
"There's a lot of joy in the collective nature of what we do, and that I am part of."

View Full Version : The new TeaTimer and Windows 2000
PepiMK
The new method TeaTimer uses to inform the user about its actions has caused some controversy recently, so we thought some kind of explanation would be useful.
The decision to use balloon tooltips to display the progress was made because they're a Windows standard for informing the user, and following standards is in general regarded as making things easier for the user. Informing about scanned processes was also kind of important for people who did not understand what TeaTimer was doing on startup.
The tray icon also allows to disable (http://www.spybot.info/en/faq/57.html)any future balloons from its context menu, so they were purely optional. Sadly, so far many users did not look for this option, but came asking for a way to get rid of them, so we feel a change to make it more evident might be necessary.
We also did not expect the combination of an unlucky implementation of balloons in Windows 2000 with users who haven't dealed with tooltips yet. On Windows XP, these balloons contain a visible X than can be clicked to close them. On Windows 2000, you can simple click the balloon itself anywhere to close it, which is not as evident, and the reaction takes some time while TeaTimer is scanning.
Balloons also vanish after a specified amount of time, which we have set to a small value to work immediately. Again, Windows 2000 is a bit unlucky there because is does not count this time down when the user is not actively using the computer. Nice thought, but not fully compatible with the intention behind the TeaTimer messages.
While we prepare a workaround that makes balloon messages easier to understand and get rid of for Windows 2000 users, TeaTimer and main application updates are disabled. Expect an update within a week.

Polymer basic materials often feature a broad range of innate properties which makes them optimally suitable for many applications. Unfortunately, however, their mechanical strengths or rigidity is significantly lower than that of metals.
By reinforcing the material with glass or carbon fibres, this shortcoming can often be compensated for or sometimes even be surpassed. In addition, compounding the fibres reduces the thermal coefficient of expansion and water absorption, which at the same time increases the heat deflection temperature. This allows to achieve component tolerances which non-reinforced plastic materials otherwise would have never been able to meet.

Emigration and development. What are the links?
Murat, Marina
Marina Murat
The 'mobility transition' hypothesis – with emigration first increasing and then decreasing as a country develops – (Zelinsky, 1971) is often interpreted as a stylised fact, which bears the implication that immigration into rich countries will grow as low-income countries develop. This paper tests the relationships between development and emigration from 130 developing countries during 25 years. Results, robust to different semiparametric and parametric specifications, show that emigration from low to middle-income countries declines as income increases, education improves or population growth slows down. The stage of development at home also affects the main destinations of emigration. Immigration into rich economies increases from countries at intermediate levels of development. Hence, policies supporting development in low-income countries are associated with less emigration to all destinations, including that to rich economies.

Set in 18 karat yellow gold five diamonds are set in multiple prongs across the top of a pierced scroll gallery in this traditional Victorian style ring. The old mine cut diamonds weigh a total of .50 carat (H-J color, I1 clarity). English hallmarks: Birmingham, 18K, 1914.The English will always love Victorian Jewelry. Styles persisted in England long after the designs established in the Victorian period faded from popularity elsewhere. This ring is a classic example. The hallmarks indicate that it was made in 1914. All other indications, including the mine cut diamonds, would lead us to believe it was actually made in the Victorian period. The diamonds definitely predate 1914, as they are hand mined and cut.
