Прелатурата на Светия Кръст и "Опус Деи" (в буквален превод – "Божие дело") е лична прелатура, институция на Католическата църква. Основана е през 1928 г. от св. Хосемария Ескрива де Балагер (1902 – 1975) – испански свещеник, канонизиран от Папа Йоан Павел II през 2002 г.

Цел
Целта ѝ е да разпространява навсякъде живото съзнание за универсалния призив към святост и апостолат в ежедневния живот, най-вече в упражняването на професията.

Членове на "Опус Деи" са 93 000 вярващи – и мъже, и жени – ръководени за специфичните цели на Прелатурата от прелат, издигнат от Папата. От 2017 г. това е монс. Фернандо Окариз.

Целите на "Опус Деи" са възпитателни и засягат четири различни измерения:

 хуманно (развитие на добродетелите и талантите, приятелство и съпричастност)
 професионално (помощ в учението чрез апостолическа дейност за студенти, формиране на центрове за професионално обучение, като например центъра ELIS в Рим или разнообразните дейности в развиващите се страни)
 духовно и доктринално (в духа на Католическата църква).

"Опус Деи" възниква в Мадрид на 2 октомври 1928 г. по инициатива на испанския свещеник Хосемария Ескрива. Идеалът за святост в ежедневния живот, съставляващ същността на посланието, привличал все повече хора – мъже и жени от различни социални прослойки и с различни професии, решени да засвидетелстват възможността да бъдат последователни християни чрез вярата си, без да се отдалечават от света (евангелски принцип, описан от Втория Ватикански събор като "универсален призив към святост").

Още от самото начало апостолатът на "Опус Деи" се отличава с внимание към студентите и към професионалната подготовка, но не изключва милосърдната дейност и грижата за нуждаещите се. За членовете на организацията работата е начин да участваме в съзидателното дело на Бог, тя е нещо, което служи не само за припечелване на земния, но и на небесния хляб. Работата и ежедневните обстоятелства са повод за среща с Бог и за служба на ближния, като целта е развитието на обществото към по-добро.

Разпространението по света на апостолата на "Опус Деи" датира от края на Втората Световна война: Португалия (1945), Англия и Италия (1946), Франция и Ирландия (1947), САЩ и Мексико (1949). Навлиза в Европа и Америка, а впоследствие се разраства до Япония, Филипините, Австралия, присъства в много африкански страни, а и в страните от бившия съветски блок, Индия, Южна Африка, прибалтийските държави и др.

"Опус Деи" е одобрена от Светия Престол през 1950 г. и получава окончателен юридически статут с апостолическата конституция "Ut sit" от 28 ноември 1982 г., която я издига в лична прелатура на Папата.

Настоящият юридически статут характеризира "Опус Деи" като една църковна реалност, която е съвсем различна от асоциативните явления, конгрегациите и религиозните ордени: предвидена от Втория Ватикански събор, личната прелатура представлява институционна и йерархична структура на Църквата, която обединява под юрисдикцията на прелат, назначен от Папата, свещеници и миряни с цел осъществяването на специфични пасторални инициативи.

Клирът на прелатурата е съставен изцяло от свещеници, произхождащи от редиците на вярващите от "Опус Деи".

Миряните от "Опус Деи" се посвещават на изцяло духовните цели на прелатурата. Техните ангажименти не променят каноничния и теологичния им статус на християни като всички останали (не полагат никакви обети). Те са под юрисдикцията на прелата, но само що се отнася до аскетичните, възпитателните и апостолските ангажименти, произтичащи от принадлежността към Прелатурата. По отношение на аспектите, предопределени от общото право, засягащо католиците в епархиите по местоживеене, остават под юрисдикцията на съответната епархия.

Вярващите от прелатурата упражняват апостолата си чрез ежедневните си професионални занимания, в средите и структурите на гражданското общество. Те се радват на същата свобода, както и другите католици, от които не се различават по нищо, що се отнася до професия, обществени ангажименти, политическа принадлежност, финансово състояние и др. В тези аспекти техният избор не зависи от принадлежността им към "Опус Деи", като ръководителите на Прелатурата се въздържат дори и да дават съвети по подобни въпроси. Липсва също така и "общо планиране" на инициативите: ние сме неорганизирана организация, обичал да казва Ескрива.

Сред членовете на организацията се отличават т.нар. "нумерарии" (живеят в центровете на "Опус Деи", следят и ръководят образователната дейност на Прелатурата, живеят в апостолски целибат, превеждат приходите си на организацията, но не полагат обет), "агрегати" или помощници (обикновено живеят в семейството, в което са родени и отгледани), както и "супернумерарии" (женени или необвързани с целибат). Последните съставляват около 70% от верните на Прелатурата.

"Опус Деи" разчита също така на сътрудниците си, които биха могли да бъдат не-католици или да не са изобщо християни. Без да са част от прелатурата, те сътрудничат в аспостолските ѝ инициативи. За сътрудниците на "Опус Деи" не е необходимо специфично призвание. Най-общо, те са роднини, приятели, колеги, съседи на вярващите от "Опус Деи", или просто почитат Св. Хосемария.

Прелатурата се регулира от нормите на общото църковно законодателство, апостолическата конституция "Ut sit" и от собствените ѝ статути (Кодекс на "Опус Деи"). В управлението ѝ прелатът разчита на Генералния съвет, чиито членове са 8 жени, както и на Общия консилиум, съставен от 7 мъже. И двата ръководни органа са със седалище в Рим.

Общите конгреси на Прелатурата се провеждат на всеки осем години. По време на тези конгреси, в които участват членове от различни страни, в които "Делото" присъства, се проучва апостолската дейност на Прелатурата. По време на тези конгреси прелатът подновява членовете на Съветите. Никоя ръководна функция, с изключение на тази на прелата, не е пожизнена.

Критика
Често "Опус Деи" е била критикувана заради твърде ортодоксалното си (характерно за периода преди Втория Ватикански събор) виждане за католическата вяра, макар че всички папи са подчертавали принадлежността на "Опус Деи" към католическата доктрина, както и заради някои практики на аскетичния живот (умъртвяването на плътта, практикувано от членовете нумерарии). Но от "Делото" просто са привързани към традицията и учението на Църквата; те винаги са били врагове на релативизма. Някои от критиците отиват по-далеч, твърдейки, че става въпрос за елитарна секта, подкрепяла диктаторски режими в Южна Америка и Испания и повлияна от фашистки идеи. Истината е, че някои от членовете на "Опус Деи" членуват в леви партии. Подобно на италианското движение "Комунионе е Либерационе", "Опус Деи" е критикувана заради силния прозелитизъм, насочен предимно към младите.

Организацията е особено критикувана в Италия заради предполагаемото лобиране, чрез което, според критиците, протежира и облагодетелства кариерата на католически представители в политическата и икономическата сфера, насочвайки италианската политическа ориентация към близки до Ватикана позиции чрез подкрепа на католически партии. От "Опус Деи" твърдят обаче, че нямат такива позиции и не се стремят към подобни сфери на обществения живот.

"Опус Деи" не оповестява имената на настоящите си или бивши членове. Причина за това е схващането, че принадлежността към организацията е тясно свързана с вярата и личното призвание. Член 191 на недействащия вече устав гласи: "Нека членовете знаят добре, че трябва винаги да спазват разумно мълчание, що се отнася до имената на другите членове, и на никого да не разкриват, че те самите принадлежат към "Делото". Това допринесе за усилването на подозренията, че "Опус Деи" функционира като тайно общество (този член бе променен през 80-те години и вече всеки е свободен да оповестява принадлежността си към организацията). Заради тази тенденция към тайнственост "Опус Деи" бе определяна от някои среди, дори и католически, като "бяло масонство". Днес членовете на "Делото" не афишират безпричинно, но и не крият принадлежността си към Прелатурата.

Двама от членовете на "Опус Деи" са били министри в правителствата на диктатора Франсиско Франко, а в последните години се наблюдаваше тясно сътрудничество с правителствата на Хосе Мария Аснар. От друга страна, по време на режима на Франко някои от членовете на организацията били преследвани и затваряни, в други случаи принудени на изгнаничество, тъй като не следвали правителствената политика или открито я критикували.

Някои твърдят, че "Опус Деи" набира отлични студенти от престижни университети, за да може по този начин да влияе повече в икономическия и политически живот. От "Опус Деи" обаче винаги са отвръщали, че целите им са само и единствено духовни. Тези духовни цели не подхранват политическия ангажимент, а доброто изпълнение на работата, професионалните умения, културната подготовка, научната компетентност и техническите умения.

Някои критици, сред които бивши членове на "Опус Деи", обвиняват организацията в сексистко отношение към жената и обявиха, че жените в "Опус Деи" се занимават с домакинска работа. Тези задължения в "Опус Деи" наистина се изпълняват само от жени (т.нар. помощник – нумерарии). В същото време обаче много от жените – членове на организацията са успешно реализирани в професионално отношение.

Верните на Прелатурата присъстват на седмични лекции, наричани също така кръжоци, посветени на доктринални и аскетични теми. Участват в ежемесечни духовни упражнения, по време на които се отдават на лична молитва и размисъл на теми от християнския живот. Веднъж годишно се провеждат духовни упражнения в продължение на 3 – 5 дни. Възпитателните средства се формират в центровете на "Опус Деи" и на други подходящи места. Например, даден кръжок може да бъде проведен в дома на някой от участниците, духовните упражнения могат се състоят в някоя църква, чийто енорийски свещеник я е предоставил на разположение за няколко часа и т.н.

Сред апостолските дейности на "Делото" са образователни и социални институции – училища, университети, центрове за развитие на жената, медицински амбулатории в недоразвити зони, училища за селяни, институти за професионално обучение, студентски общежития, културни центрове и т.н. Прелатурата не осъществява търговски и политически дейности.

От 93 000 членове на Прелатурата 1900 са свещеници.

Понастоящем в Италия членове на "Делото" са около 4000 души, мъже и жени от различни социални прослойки. Първият италианец, който през 1947 г. кандидатствал за членство в "Опус Деи", бил млад адвокат от Рим.

Членство
За да бъдеш член на "Опус Деи", се изисква свръхестествено призвание: необходимо е да бъде чут Божият призив да подчиниш целия си живот в Негова служба и да разпространяваш посланието, че всеки може да достигне до святост чрез работата си и ежедневния живот.

Когато някой стане член на "Опус Деи", той продължава да бъде гражданин и католик като всички останали. Той все така принадлежи към епархията си и може да взема участие във всички дейности – политически, религиозни или културни – които пожелае. Ангажиментът към Прелатурата е с договорен характер и изключва обетите (бедност, целомъдрие и послушание), характерни за религиозните ордени.

Членството в "Опус Деи" не те отдалечава от предишния начин на живот: оставаш на същата работа и водиш същия обществен живот, както и преди. Не живееш извън света, а вътре в него. Всеки член на "Опус Деи" има план за духовен живот, т.е. среща с Бог, която обикновено предвижда присъствие на Светата литургия, причастие, честа изповед, четене на Светото Писание и на други духовни текстове, молене на Броеницата и понякога – мълчалива молитва. Животът в "Делото" е път към усъвършенстване. Принадлежащият към "Опус Деи" прегръща Христовия кръст през всеки един миг от деня, но чрез радостен начин на живот – логична последица от посветеността на Бог и на другите.

Кандидат-членовете на "Опус Деи" подават молба доброволно, напълно убедени, че са доловили Божия призив, която молба бива приета от ръководителите на Прелатурата. Тя е в писмен вид и са необходими 6 месеца, за да бъде одобрена. След около една година кандидат-членът бива включен временно в Прелатурата чрез формална декларация с договорен характер, която може да бъде подновявана всяка година. В съответствие с каноничното право, никой не може да получи юридическо членство в "Опус Деи", ако не е пълнолетен. Окончателното приемане не може да се извърши, ако не са изминали поне 5 години от временното приемане (на практика най-младите членове на организацията са на 23 години).

Характеристики на духа
Кои са основните характеристики на духа на "Опус Деи"?
 Божествена синовност – Основателят на "Делото" твърди, че: "Божествената синовност е основа на духа на "Опус Деи". След като получи кръщението, християнинът става Божие чедо. Учението на Прелатурата предизвиква у вярващия християнин живото съзнание, че е Божие чедо, и му помага да възприеме съответната линия на поведение: вяра в Божественото Провидение, простота в отношенията с Бог, дълбоко чувство за достойнство на всяко човешко същество, братство сред хората, християнска любов към света и реалностите, създадени от Бог, спокойствие и оптимизъм.
 Всекидневие – Семейството, бракът, работата, заниманието във всеки един момент: това са обичайните случаи, за да бъдем с Христос и да Му подражаваме, опитвайки се да прилагаме милосърдие, търпение, смирение, трудолюбие, справедливост, радост, т.е. всички човешки и християнски добродетели.
 Освещаване на работата – Да търсим святост в работата означава да се ангажираме да я вършим добре, с професионална компетентност и християнско чувство, т.е. заради Бог и за да служим на другите. По този начин обичайната работа става място на среща с Христос.
 Молитва и саможертва. Възпитателните средства на "Опус Деи" напомнят необходимостта от постоянна молитва и разкаяние, присъщи на християнския дух.
 Единност на живота – Самият Св. Хосемария напомнял: "Има само един живот, състоящ се от плът и дух, и той трябва да бъде – и в душата, и в тялото – свят и изпълнен с Бог".
 Свобода – Верните на "Опус Деи" са граждани, които имат същите права и задължения като тези на останалите. Оттук следва зачитането на свободата и чуждото мнение.
 Милосърдие – Този, който е познал Христос, открива съкровище, което не може да държи само за себе си. Християните са свидетели на Христос и разпространяват Неговото послание за надежда сред роднини, приятели, колеги чрез пример и слово. Според основателя, "ангажирайки се с проблемите на нашите другари, приятели, роднини, можем да им помогнем да стигнат до Христос".

В живота на "Опус Деи", която още от самото начало притежава ясно изразен семеен характер, прелатът бива наричан просто "Отче".

Mike Norvell encouraged by FSU's response to UNC win as team looks to build momentum
Curt Weiler
Mike Norvell knows how important Saturday was.
He knows the kind of potentially program-changing win his Seminoles got over the weekend, toppling No. 6 North Carolina for one of the bigger upsets FSU has staged in the modern era.
He also knows, however, that it means nothing if it's not used for momentum. If FSU (2-3, 1-3 in ACC) doesn't continue to build on the progress it has made this season this Saturday at Louisville (1-4, 0-4), it won't mean much.
"We're excited that we got the win. It was important, it was big for our program, all those things. But if we don't capitalize on the learning experience that we just had, then we're cheating ourselves," Norvell said Monday.
"That's the overall understanding in all regards, coaches, players, everyone. This week, we have to be better. We have to go out there and have that same sense of urgency in improvement because that's what we're trying to do."
In this regard, Norvell likes what he saw from his team at practice Sunday night. Less than 24 hours after holding off the Tar Heels to preserve the victory, FSU returned to the practice field determined to show that the UNC game was not an anomaly.
"Sometimes I think the greater challenge is when people are patting you on the back. At the end of the day, our objective is to get better with all that we do. We're excited about the win that we just had, but you go watch that film, and there's a lot of things that really kind of pissed me off that I saw that we've got to get corrected," Norvell said.
"What I appreciated about our team, I thought Sunday we came in and I think they're really buying into that mentality, that work ethic. There were a lot of guys who played a ton of snaps, but they came in yesterday, got a good work session, we watched film, we emphasized some of the corrections, and celebrated a lot of the positives.

"It's two-fold of what we're doing, you've got to be able to point out the things that are meeting the standard of what we're trying to do, but then addressing the things where we need to improve. This team is buying into that. I thought we had a good workday yesterday, and we have to have an unbelievable week of preparation here this week."
The path is there on FSU's schedule for the significant progress the Seminoles have made since the start of the season to lead to a number of additional wins going forward.
The four ACC teams FSU has already played have a combined conference record of 11-4 (.733) this season. The six ACC teams left on FSU's schedule have a combined conference record of 12-16 (.429) this season.
That includes top-ranked Clemson, but it also includes four teams that are currently below .500 in ACC play this season, three of which are 1-3 or worse.
The biggest difference that offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham saw in the UNC game is something that would go a long way towards helping the Seminoles go on a winning streak over the easier back half of their 2020 schedule.
"We're getting better. Not to be confused with good. We're getting better. And for us, we have to continue that. I say it every week, it's boring every week, we have to continue to get better," Dillingham said.
"That effort is why we won the football game. Had nothing to do with X's and O's. Had nothing to do with if we blocked the right people, blocked the wrong people. The difference in that football game was we gave more effort in that game that we had all year. And when games come down to one play, I can't tell you which one of those plays that we gave extreme effort on that matter. But I can tell you, you add them all together and that was the difference."
Graduate transfer offensive lineman Devontay Love-Taylor has had probably as good a look as anyone on the FSU roster at the gradual development of a program.

Love-Taylor signed with FIU in 2016, joining a program that had won 10 total games the previous three seasons. In his four seasons with the Panthers, they won 27 games, making bowl game appearances in each of his final three seasons.
That experience helped Love-Taylor put things into perspective.
"I think this is a big win, but I think this is just the first step," Love-Taylor said after the UNC win.
"I think we are going to continue to improve because we still haven't played our best ball. We are just going to keep getting better and better."

In a 2 qt sauce pan, on medium heat, add butter and olive oil. Finely mince the onion and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Add to the pot. Saute until starting to obtain a golden color. Add in roughly chopped tomatoes, and cook mixing gently for about 1 minute. Add thyme, coriander and black pepper. Set the pan aside and add the frozen seafood. Mix with a wooden spoon and let stand for about 2 minutes or until the bottom of the pot is covered with at least 1 inch of fluid. Return to heat on a medium-low setting. Add sugar and lime juice. Bring to a boil, about 4-5 minutes or until the shrimp turns opaque. Remove from heat.
Serve with soba noodles and dandelion leaves for color and bitterness to highlight the sweetness of the seafood.
In the effort to get rid of everything Teflon in the house, I bought an amazing stainless steel pan. It's amazing because it does things Teflon never dreamed of - if Teflon dreamt that is.
It took some practice to get used to the "stickiness" but once you get over that, the world of caramelization is yours. I have been experimenting with all sorts of pan sauces, and this is just one example.
Cover a well dried tenderloin of pork with minced cilantro (about a teaspoon), salt and Szechwan pepper. Bring heat to medium, add oil to the pan. Let it heat up...then place the tenderloin in to get the rewarding sizzle. Just before it reaches your desired color, drizzle honey over it, and start turning. This should take about 40 seconds to a minute, depending on your pan and heat. Golden crust with lots of wonderful pieces in the pan left to deglaze with white wine. Place the loin in a baking pan (reserve the sauce in the roasting pan) into a preheated 375F oven for 15 minutes (this depends on the thickness of the loin you're using). The sauce...a little on the sweet side, especially after it's left to reduce in the pan, but the meat, the meat was good.
My second lamb dish in a month. Amazing. Unlike the first try, this is fresh, not frozen meat. I kept it in the oven 27 minutes at 375F, with a slight rub of khmeli suneli and salt / pepper.
Served with roasted peaches and pomegranate sauce.
2) I like pancakes a lot more then I thought.
recipe adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style by Ina Garten, minus the banana per request from husband...does that mean I can blame the pancake addiction on him?
Few things are better when they are cold, and even fewer are worth waiting for to get cold...zucchini cakes fall into that category.
Salt the grated zucchini. Allow to stand for about 5 minutes. Wrap into a kitchen, or a paper towel (I used a paper towel :-) ), and squeeze out the water. In a mixing bowl, mix one egg with a fork. Add in the drained zucchini and flour. You may need to get creative to achieve the correct consistency. The batter should not be runny, however should also not be too thick.
Fry in 1 tbsp portions on olive oil (medium heat), remove to a paper bag or towel to drain off any excess oil. Serve warm or....wait. wait. wait. and the then eat cold with sour cream.
...may only be 3 cms tall, but I am already planning mozzarella stuffed flowers and green zucchini souffle. Hopefully all these gardening dreams will work out with our other new "hobby"!
Roast chicken at 400 for 1 hour, or until golden brown all over. Chicken seasoned with salt, pepper and basted with 1 tsp of mustard and 1 tbsp of mayo. Potatoes quartered, and sliced onions salted and mixed with a little olive oil, at same temp as the chicken for 35 minutes.
I always enjoy new and interesting ingredients in my food, especially if I don't have a preconceived notion of how they should be used. I find that's the best way to be the most creative. Tonight I was making dinner and decided to use the woodear mushrooms I bought a few weeks ago. I did a little research when I brought them home, so I did have some indication that they were frequently used in Asian cuisine. What appealed to me, which will sound odd, is that they looked like a mess of shoelaces dry in their packaging. Almost leather like, one side black and the other white. Anyway, today I also had some Asian eggplant in the fridge, so it all took off from there.
Chop eggplants into quarters, lengthwise. Season with salt and add a little! olive oil just to coat slightly, add whole cloves of garlic and bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Add the mushrooms to 1 quart of boiling water and boil for 8 minutes. Drain out the water. In a large mixing bowl, season the mushrooms with pon shabu, mirin, and a little Worcestershire. It's hard to say how much because the mushrooms absorb a lot so go by taste. Smash the roasted garlic and mix with the mushrooms. Add in the eggplant. Add in the grated ginger and cilantro. Serve warm with a side of white rice.
Pork tenderloin was first marinated in peppadew marinade and honey for about 1 hour, then roasted on the stove top for the golden crust and cooked the rest of the way in a 375F oven.

The 2008 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament involved 16 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college ice hockey. The tournament began on March 28, 2008, and ended with the championship game on April 12.

Boston College, coached by Jerry York, won its third national title with a 4–1 victory in the championship game over Notre Dame, coached by Jeff Jackson.

Nathan Gerbe, junior forward for Boston College, scored five goals in the final two games and was named the Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player.

This was the first tournament in 47 years to have two teams from the same conference play in the opening round. This occurred due to the glut of WCHA teams that received 2nd- and 3rd-seeds in the regional divisions.

Tournament procedure

The NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey Championship is a single-elimination tournament featuring 16 teams representing all six Division I conferences in the nation.  The Championship Committee seeds the entire field from 1 to 16 within four regionals of 4 teams.  The winners of the six Division I conference championships receive automatic bids to participate in the NCAA Championship.

In setting up the tournament, the Championship Committee seeks to ensure "competitive equity, financial success and likelihood of playoff-type atmosphere at each regional site."  A team serving as the host of a regional is placed within that regional. The top four teams are assigned overall seeds and placed within the bracket such that the national semifinals will feature the No. 1 seed versus the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed versus the No. 3 seed should the top four teams win their respective regional finals.  Number 1 seeds are also placed as close to their home site as possible, with the No. 1 seed receiving first preference.  Conference matchups are avoided in the first round; should five or more teams from one conference make the tournament, this guideline may be disregarded in favor of preserving the bracket's integrity.

The four regionals are officially named after their geographic areas.  The following were the sites for the 2008 regionals:
March 28 and 29
East Regional, Times Union Center - Albany, New York (Hosts: ECAC Hockey and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
West Regional, Broadmoor World Arena - Colorado Springs, Colorado (Hosts: Colorado College and the Colorado Springs Sports Commission)

March 29 and 30
Midwest Regional, Kohl Center - Madison, Wisconsin (Host: University of Wisconsin–Madison)
Northeast Regional, DCU Center - Worcester, Massachusetts (Host: College of the Holy Cross)

Each regional winner advanced to the Frozen Four:
April 10 and 12
Pepsi Center - Denver, Colorado (Hosts: University of Denver and the Metro Denver Sports Commission)

Qualifying teams
The at-large bids, along with the seeding for each team in the tournament, were announced on Sunday, March 23. Six teams from the WCHA qualified for the tournament, a record for the number of teams from one conference.

Q: fail getting value of get/set using an object to it's class I'll explain but codes can explain it way better than me.
I'm trying to get value of 2 variables
I create a new object at it's class and use its members which I set their values from packet.
Whenever I try to access them I find them zeros which kind of doesn't make sense to me.
Here is the important part of the code that is related to the problem
public class PacketHandler
    {
.
. dots means unrelated long code
.
public PacketHandler()
        {
        }
        public ushort actualX { get; set; }
        public ushort actualY { get; set; }
.
.
.
case 10010:
                            {
                                if (BitConverter.ToUInt16(data, 8) == 1002)
                                {
                                    actualX = BitConverter.ToUInt16(data, 24);
                                    actualY = BitConverter.ToUInt16(data, 26);
                                }
                                break;

and here is the other class I'm trying to get the value at
public class ClientBase
{
    GameUser role2;
    PacketHandler ph = new PacketHandler(); <<<<<<<<
    public ClientBase(GameUser role)
    {

                    ps.__Packet10010(Target.X, Target.Y, role2, "normal", "server", ph.actualX, ph.actualY); <<<<< i get zeros at the ph.actualX/Y
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                    ps.__Packet10010(Target.X, Target.Y, role2, "sdasdsa", "client", role2.X, role2.Y);

                    Dictionary.Monsters.SafeRemove(Target.UID);

please forgive me if I sound stupid, and to make it more clear ,I want a proper way of transferring data through classes at a new thread.
Please try to apply it to this example for better understanding.
have a wonderful day

Finch hits World Cup ton as Australia dominate Sri Lanka
Australia captain Aaron Finch equalled his highest one-day international score of 153 as he powered the World Cup holders to 334-7 against sloppy Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Finch took the misfiring Sri Lanka attack apart with a dazzling display at the Oval that included 15 fours and five sixes.
It was his 14th one-day international century and the second of his World Cup career.
The 32-year-old's 132-ball demolition job took him level with his previous best score of 153 against Pakistan in March.
"I feel like I'm playing reasonably well," said the skipper. "When you hit a few drives early on it gives you some confidence.
"They used the big side of the ground really well and it was a bit windy so it was hard to target the small boundary.
"We didn't have a target in mind, we knew their death bowling would be good. We're pretty happy with what we've got, Maxy (Glenn Maxwell) did well at the end."
Finch was well-supported by Steve Smith's 73 from 59 balls and the pair put on 173 runs for the third wicket to set Sri Lanka a formidable total.
https://english.dainiksomoysangbad24.com/2019/06/15/president-seeks-cica-support-to-repatriate-rohingyas/
Australia are searching for their fourth win from five matches after beating Afghanistan, the West Indies and Pakistan.
Their lone defeat in the 10-team tournament came against India and a victory over Sri Lanka would put them well on course for a semi-final berth.
Together with opening partner David Warner, Finch took the attack to the Sri Lankans after being put in to bat under cloudy skies in south London and the pair passed fifty for the opening wicket for the fourth time in five games at the World Cup.
Warner was the first Australian to perish when he was bowled by spinner Dhananjaya de Silva for 26.
De Silva struck again when Usman Khawaja (10) played a loose shot straight down the throat of Isuru Udana at deep square leg to leave Australia 100-2.
That brought Smith to the crease and triggered the now-standard smattering of boos from the non-Australians in the crowd in reference to his role in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa last year.
But Smith has been in fine form since returning from his ban for the incident and his composed presence freed Finch to go for broke.
Gum-chewing Finch stepped on the gas to take 20 runs, including two sixes, off De Silva's eighth over and he brought up his hundred with a six off Milinda Siriwardana.
Sri Lanka had no answer to his brutal assault and by the time he departed, caught by Dimuth Karunaratne off Udana, he had put Australia in a commanding position.
Glenn Maxwell's quick-fire 46 not out capped a depressing outing for Sri Lanka, who have one win from four games after their previous two matches were abandoned due to rain.

A warning has been issued after a one-year-old boy swallowed a tablet suspected to diazepam on a playing field.
Police are calling on the public to be vigilant in the St Mary's Walk, Acklam area of Middlesbrough, after the 20-month-old ingested a tablet that was found on the floor and became ill.
The tablet is believed to have been picked up on the large playing field off St Mary's Walk, yesterday.
The toddler was later taken to James Cook University Hospital when he became unwell.
Medical professionals at the hospital later confirmed that he had ingested a drug, possibly prescription drug diazepam, and he was kept at hospital where he was described as being in a stable condition.
Officers have searched the field and found no further tablets, however, members of the public are still asked to be vigilant and anyone who comes across such tablets in the area is asked to contact police on 101 or take them to a local pharmacy or police station.

As mentioned in the LE announcement, we've several people directly signing each front end sheet. While the printer continues to work on the rest of the book, these front end sheet are now on The Great A Time ow War LE Signing Race.
As my tweets indicated yesterday, I spent some four plus hours pounding through the 700 sheets as you can see in the photos to the right (for those wondering, the beard's in preparation for demoing Leviathans at Steamcon II). That's actually only about 500 sheets; there were still 200 or so sitting in a box behind me.
I finished up my signing yesterday, after which Loren picked them up and was up till the wee hours wrapping up his signatures. He's literally on his way right now to drop the box in a same-day mailing down to Michael Stackpole in Arizona. Mike will sign them over the weekend and have them over to Jordan Weisman to sign by Monday, then they'll be shipped across country for Herb to sign them. After which Herb will then overnight them back to the printer, who'll immediately bind them into the book at the end of next week to keep everything on track for having the books in hands by Christmas!
If I get more photos of additional signings, I'll post those to keep track of where the sheets are at!
I pre-ordered this the moment you put it up – thanks for going to all this work!

Kwok Presents at BCO Berlin Conference
As Design Director for 10 and 30 Hudson Yards, Marianne Kwok presented on the monumental mixed-use development at the annual British Council for Offices (BCO).
Hosting its conference in Berlin this year, BCO invited Kwok to participate in the case study series, featuring prominent projects in Berlin, London, and New York. KPF's ambitious Hudson Yards master plan—which includes Class-A office and residential towers, cultural attractions, and a public plaza all built over the country's busiest train line, the Long Island Rail Road —has garnered significant attention as a global example of its type.
Kwok articulated the firm's vision for community-building at Hudson Yards as part of Manhattan. Characterized by world-leading sustainability and a variety of architectural styles, Hudson Yards encompasses and extends the vibrancy of New York City. Kwok explained some of the unique challenges of designing components of Hudson Yards, including tenant demand for tailored environments, such as larger companies' desires for "building within a building" experiences.
Marianne Kwok brings more than twenty years of professional expertise to Hudson Yards, having served as Design Director for the mixed-use supertall One Shenzhen Bay and for TP Link Headquarters, both in Shenzhen, China.
Founded in 1990, BCO works to advance the collective understanding of its members in creating more effective workspaces. The theme of the 2018 BCO Conference was diversity and inclusion, with a particular emphasis on fostering conversations from multiple perspectives and reimagining the workplace for the future.

Q: The distribution of primes between multipliers is arbitrary I've been encountered with the following question:
Let $\alpha>1$ be a real number and let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be natural number.
Now we claim that there exists $x$ ("large enough") s.t. for all $y> x$ : |{$p\in \mathbb{P}: y<p<\alpha y$}| > n , where $\mathbb{P} $ is the set of all primes.
in other words, the problem is to show that for every such $\alpha$ and $n$, for any "large enough" number ($z$) there are more than n primes in the interval $[z,\alpha z]$.

My try (the unimportant part):
I thought i could use the prime number theorem to show that $\pi(\alpha z)-\pi(z) > n$ for large enough $z$ (maybe by $\lim_{z\to \infty} \pi(\alpha z)/ \pi(z) > 1$). I am not sure if this is correct, and if it's answer the need for $">"$ rather then $"\geq"$ (if it doesn't make sense you may skip this part).
thanks in advance

A: Your approach is right indeed. The prime number theorem says that:
$$
\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\pi(x)\log x}{x}=1.
$$
This can be written as:
$$
\lim_{y\to\infty}\frac{\pi(\alpha y)\log(\alpha y)}{\alpha y}=1.
$$
Combining the two we have:
$$
\lim_{y\to\infty}\frac{\pi(\alpha y)\log(\alpha y)}{\alpha y}\frac{y}{\pi( y)\log( y)}=1 \implies \lim_{y\to\infty}\frac{\pi(\alpha y)}{\pi(y)}=\alpha>1.
$$
This proves that there are arbitrarily many prime numbers inside the interval $[y,\alpha y]$.

If you want a specific bound, you can inspect a bit the proof of Chebyshev's theorems, for instance here as well as books on analytic number theory. There you can use likes of the following inequalities for $n\geq 2$
$$

France agrees Nord Stream compromise
By Energy Reporters | 09.02.2019 | Policy
The European Union has adopted a Franco-German compromise on allowing Germany to remain the lead negotiator with Russia on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
France has previously said it would support EU oversight of new gas pipelines, sparking German fears that the Baltic states and Poland, which oppose Nord Stream 2, could block the project.
France said it had agreed that principal responsibility lay with Germany, the "territory and territorial sea of the member state where the first interconnection point is located".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told the media: "There was indeed an agreement which was only possible thanks to close cooperation between France and Germany.
"Today is a good day, and that is because of French-German co-operation."
France's earlier support for giving other EU countries more say in the project could have shifted the balance away from Germany.
After the deal was struck, the French government told the media there was no French-German "crisis".
A spokesman in Paris said: "The dependence on Russian gas worries us. For that reason, it is important to us to ensure European control so that this dependence does not increase."
An EU diplomatic source said US representatives were lobbying until just before Friday's meeting in a bid to block the pipeline.
"Washington has put enormous pressure on EU capitals in recent days to prevent Nord Stream 2," an unnamed diplomat told AFP.
"The fact that the gas directive was then almost passed by consensus is also due to the growing displeasure among the EU states over the attempted US influence."
If approved by the EU, the deal could create complications for Russian state-run gas exporter Gazprom, which would then have to follow Brussels' regulations and, therefore, would no longer be the only operator of the pipeline.
Gazprom owns Nord Stream 2 and has a monopoly on Russia's export pipelines. Russian laws might need to be changed to conform with European legislation. Undermining Gazprom's ownership of the pipeline could undermine the economics of the US$11-billion link.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed that the US was making efforts to undermine fair competition.
"This international project is necessary for Russia and the EU, but it is constantly attacked by third countries, more specifically by the United States," he said.
Peskov said the US was trying to encourage Europe "to buy more expensive American gas … we hope that the EU member countries will know how to settle this issue themselves".

Connecting millions of computers worldwide, it forms a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as both are connected to the Internet. If you connect your computer to the Internet, it connects to that network - and you can send or receive information online from any other computer or server. On the other hand, the World Wide Web is the system we use to access the Internet. This is a website that indexes material on the Internet or an intranet (and more recently in traditional media such as books and newspapers) and provides links to information in response to a request. This is a Web site where users share other content from the Internet and rate and comment on that content.
Web and Internet are not the same.
Often the words "the Internet" and "the Web" are used as if they were the same. Since the 1960s, the Internet has been under constant evolution and is a way for different types of computer around the globe to communicate with each other. No matter whether it's to download a downloadable version of a website or chat with a friends from Skype, it's the Internet that links the people.
Internet is not really a separate individual network - it is just a collection of protocols (Internet protocols) that allow different kinds of communication among them. By connecting your computer to the Internet, it connects to this LAN - and you can broadcast or retrieve information from any other computer or computer serving the Internet.
Web (or World Wide Web) is the system of web pages and websites that use the Internet to transmit data. Web is just one of many Internet using service - other service are e-mail, Internet calling and peer-to-peer data-transfer. Not too long into the near term, most likely, will get all their TV programming over the Internet.
As many of the Internet related utilities (e.g. email) are now accessible via web sites, the mix is likely to worsen. Simply put, just think that the Internet is the computer networking, the Web is a ministry that uses it.

United States (US) and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) have ceremonially ended their combat mission in Afghanistan.
This mission comes to an end after 13 years of September 11 terror attacks that sparked their invasion of Afghanistan to topple the Taliban-led Government and fight against terrorism.
NATO formally ended its deployment after its International Security Assistance Force Joint Command, which was in charge of combat operations, lowered its flag. This ceremony was the first of two that will draw a formal close to NATO's combat mission by December 28, 2014.
Now US and NATO coalition will only provide training and support role for Afghanistan's own security forces, which have led the fight against the Taliban insurgents since mid-2013.
From January 1, the coalition will maintain a force of 13,000 troops in Afghanistan. In 2011, there were around 140,000 coalition troops.
Up to 10,800 US troops will remain in Afghanistan for the first three months of 2015.
By the end of 2015, US will reduce it troop to 5,500. Entire US troop will be called back by 2016.

I just did a new build from my i7-930 Asus P6T6 WS Revolution, about time, yeah! But I need help trying to decide what ram and water cooling to get. I need 32GB of ram red/black to go with theme but would it matter if I purchase 2x8 dual channel set for 4x8 1600/1866 or Quad Channel 4x8. I thought about G. Skill Trident X Series 32bg 4x8 quad 1866 8-9-9-24 Do any of you no if there is better overclockable ram. Also I thought about the Swiftech H240-X Cpu Liquid Cooling Kit vs the Corsair H100i, H110 and H105 Which is better for overclocking. I know I really like the Swiftech reviews and it only 50.00 more. This case will hold two radiators 240/cpu top and 240 2 videos bottom. I have read reviews but I wanted to ask real world experienced overclockers. I haven't had this kind of upgrade for sometime and would like to overclock the clock out of it..! I've got new toys!
Also any web pages to help with overclocking the MSI 970 would be help full, still figuring out the bios. Thank you!
XFX R9-285A-CDFC Radeon R9 285 2GB 256-Bit "Need One More"
IN WIN GR one Black Black SECC Full Tower "HUGE"
Did you purchase all that already?
1: If you bought everything already, then you made a downgrade in the processor department. A side grade at best.
2: No platform supports "quad channel", it is either dual or single with AMD platforms. The only platform that supported higher than dual, was the 1366 you had before (triple channel).
3: Overclocking RAM is not that useful, not in real time performance, not in games. Pick the one with the higher memory and be done with it really.
4: If you would go for the H100i, you wouldn't miss out much on performance if there was a better cooler. It would only be a 2 degree difference, if even that.
Same sentiments as others. The i7-930 is a very capable system. Your ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution is one of the best x58 motherboards out there (which is a rarity these days), it would be a shame to get rid of that for a MSI 970 Gaming AM3+.
Option 1: Find a cheap X5650 or similar hexacore LGA 1366 CPU. I'm still kicking a used i7 980X at 4.2GHz for my photo/video rig, and it's still plenty fast. Much faster than you'll get with an AMD FX-8350.
Overclocking memory isn't going to get you much unless you're overclocking your CPU a good amount (up in the 4.6GHz+ area). You'll want memory at around 2400MHz with at least CAS 11 timings to make a decent real world impact. Otherwise, very minimal impact for real world applications, and you'd be better off just finding whatever's cheapest.
Unless you're going to go custom watercooling, I don't recommend AIO watercooling unless you want to minimize space for RAM installation issues. Just get the best air cooler you can afford.
So it is better to get 2 dual channel sets than just purchase a quad channel set or just cheaper? I thought the matching pairs would be good so it didn't matter what bank you put them in like my triple channel.
I have the Xigmatek Dark Knight heat pipe and the ram is touching the fan. I notice I would get better cooling with water for overclock and room for ram. Is H100i good as swiftech 240x? I like the idea of swiftech water reservoir in the closed loop to expand than just radiator like Corsair. Also can I clock the cpu without clocking the ram and just get 1866 on this motherboard. I haven't got to overclock yet on the UEFI ?

West Lindsey Disctrict Council
Sited in the market town of Gainsborough, the District Council has 250 employees and is home to the Council Chambers and Public Offices. The building was designed specifically for the Council, as part of Marshall's Yard, a development utilising the old tractor factory.
Hilary Wright from Dalby Developments Limited, the organisation given the responsibility for the interior design, space planning and furniture specification here, tells us about the Council's previous working environment.
'Formerly, 250 Council staff were squeezed into three old and unsuitable buildings, with the main 1970's building holding the Public Chambers too,' Hilary recalls. 'One unit was even an old Victorian house. All were in cellular offices, which was very difficult for departments to interact.'
It was important to West Lindsey District Council that all areas were as functional as possible, which meant there would be no private rooms designated to one sector. People were coming from small cellular offices and roomed departments to work in a completely open plan environment.
Hilary says. 'The brief was to think long term and had to reflect the professionalism of a company as opposed to the normal Public Sector. The Chief Executive came from the Private Sector and wanted the Council to reflect that professionalism.
'West Lindsey wants a modern forward looking Council, as is shown by the fact that they are taking massive steps to have a building built for them. It has to work long term and must be a great place to work and for all to work together instead of in separate buildings.'
So what were the major challenges Hilary and the team faced at West Lindsey?
'Sheer quantity of paper that has to be available was the biggest problem – and accessibility to it,' Hilary is quick to answer. 'The solution needs to be highly interchangeable. With the help of KI, I could create a solution that could be delivered from one supplier. All the storage would be metal for longevity. All files that needed to be used on a day to day basis would be in four drawer units no higher than 1m. Should a department need more storage in the future, extra tops boxes could be added to the drawer units, to create tall storage, by keeping bases and tops as separate units. In the long term there is the flexibility to keep mixing units so you never get stuck with a tall unit in the middle of a room. 'For the remainder of filing it was agreed we use high density rolling units, fitted in recesses (we even removed internal rooms from the plan and replaced them with open rolling units) to save space. I would never have been able to work this out on my own. It was extremely complex, but with KI, produced a storage audit for every department and then spent hours with me making all the pieces of the jigsaw work. The building is all white and glass and I wanted to add colour to each floor by choosing different colour carpet for each floor and pulling out a bright colour from the carpet for the KI Mail box units, such as turquoise, purple and orange.'
We ask Neil Cucksey, the Asset and Property Services Manager at West Lindsey District Council 'Since moving in we have already seen benefits in working in one building rather than four previously. There is greater interaction and knowledge sharing across the departments and we are now working in a more flexible manner.'
Hilary Wright – who once again is happy to share the plaudits with one particular supplier. 'A good office is one where people have the resources to do their jobs effectively and efficiently, in an environment they want to be in. With the help of KI, West Lindsey District Council has achieved a great working environment that will keep on working.'

Amazon is taking another shot at offering healthcare — and this time, it plays to the tech giant's key strengths
Blake Dodge
Amazon Clinic.
Amazon is launching a virtual clinic that treats things like acne and UTIs.
It works through a website that lets patients message clinicians directly.
"Amazon Clinic" plays to Amazon's strengths as an ecommerce behemoth.
On Tuesday, Amazon announced "Amazon Clinic," a virtual care service that will treat patients' common conditions such as allergies and hair loss.
Initially available in 32 states, the site will let users choose and message providers who can assign a "treatment plan." Prescriptions, if needed, can be sent to people's homes through Amazon Pharmacy. Amazon Clinic, code-named "Katara," was previously reported by Insider.
It's a bet that Amazon can succeed in this particular slice of the healthcare market after failing in others.
The launch comes just a couple of months after the tech giant said it was shuttering Amazon Care, a telehealth service that provided care through people's employers. Amazon Clinic is taking an entirely different approach. Instead of finding people through intermediaries like employers, it's a "direct-to-consumer" model that aims to sell health services to folks online with cash.
Amazon is pretty good at selling stuff online, making about $66 billion from online store sales just in the last quarter of 2021.
"Amazon is trying to capture some of that pie given that few companies put consumers first like Amazon does," Blake Madden, founder of industry newsletter Hospitalogy, told Insider in a note. "I wouldn't be surprised to see Clinic, a low-cost healthcare offering, packaged into Prime in the near future."
Amazon Clinic plays to the tech giant's strengths
Amazon Care struggled to gain traction and craft a "complete" enough offering, Amazon's health boss Neil Lindsay said at the time, with enough companies of sufficient size to justify the venture's cost.
By contrast, Amazon Clinic could have more success doing what it knows best, especially if it can lure Prime members. That could create competition for other upstarts that provide healthcare directly to consumers, like Ro and Hims & Hers.
Amazon Clinic is following their roadmap almost exactly. Besides allergies and hair loss, it can treat erectile dysfunction, acne, motion sickness, pink eye, eyelash growth, and UTIs, many of which are staple treatment lines for its direct-to-consumer competitors.
The site works by connecting patients to other providers such as the staffing startup SteadyMD. By partnering, Amazon's not incurring the costs of hiring providers itself, an issue that hamstrung Amazon Care.
For example, following the site's prompts to get birth control in North Carolina, you're met with a questionnaire and requirements, such as a photo ID. Then the user can choose to meet with SteadyMD or HealthTap providers for $30 or $42, respectively.
How Amazon Clinic fits with Amazon's other health bets
Amazon Clinic doesn't work with health plans "yet," the press release said, but does plug in to Amazon Pharmacy, another wing of Amazon's growing health apparatus that similarly encourages people to pay with cash through discounts from Prime.
It remains to be seen whether these assets will work with One Medical, the primary care company Amazon is purchasing for $3.9 billion, pending regulatory approval. That company also has a direct-to-consumer business, plus 188 clinics and 8,500 employer clients.
In July, Insider reported that the One Medical acquisition could send more customers to Amazon's other health bets. For one, its physicians could similarly start ordering prescriptions through Amazon's pharmacy. Madden said that he wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon sell the virtual clinic and One Medical as a combined offering to health systems.
"To me, it's a signal that Amazon could be putting forward a more cohesive healthcare strategy in 2023 and beyond," he said.

The Walking Death Tax
Without Congressional action, it returns with a 55% rate vengeance in 26 days.
Updated Dec. 6, 2010 1:02 pm ET
Overlooked in the brawl over expiring Bush-era tax rates is what will happen to the death tax. Without action in the lame duck Congress, the estate tax will rise from the dead on January 1 with a vengeance, the rate climbing back to 55% from zero this year. The exemption amount will revert to a miserly $1 million, unindexed for inflation, so more middle class taxpayers will get hit year after year.
President Obama and Congressional Democrats don't think this is a high priority, but voters do. A November Gallup Poll found that Americans think that keeping the estate tax "from increasingly significantly" is "very important" by 56% to 17% "not too important." That's more than think it is a priority to extend current tax rates (50%), extend jobless benefits (48%), ratify the Start treaty (40%) or let openly gay men and women serve in the military (32%).

Senior Economics Writer Stephen Moore says congressional Republicans may drive a harder bargain on behalf of taxpayers. Also, Global View Columnist Bret Stephens explains why Iran's foreign minister doesn't want to talk to the US Secretary of State.


Nothing says gourmet cupcakes quite like taking the time to put filling in them! The photo above shows one of my favorite cupcake flavors - key lime! But this cupcake with just frosting and cake alone wouldn't have that WOW factor. There's only so much flavor cake itself can hold - that's where filling comes in! The key lime curd filling gives it that burst of authentic key lime pie flavor! So, how do you put filling in a cupcake?
First, we will need to core the cupcake to create a cavity for the filling to sit. To do this, a cupcake corer tool can be used for a nice even cut, or it can be done using a paring knife. For this tutorial I'll be using the paring knife method.
Begin by cutting a small circle in the top of the cupcake, cutting about 2/3 of the way down into the thickness of the cupcake. Be sure to not cut all of the way to the bottom of the cupcake, or the filling may fall out of the bottom of the cupcake when its peeled away from its wrapper.
To remove the cupcake's core, I like to insert the paring knife partially down into the freshly cut seam and gently press the knife into the core and lift out, using my fingertips to help lift out the core.
Now we need to make a little lid to put on the filling. Lay the cupcake core on its side and cut the very top of the core off. This top will be used to cover the filling.
Next, fill cupcake with the filling.
Once cupcake has been filled, place the "lid" on the filling. Now you have a nice even surface to pipe your buttercream!
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial! God bless!
