Q: Most efficient way to remove special characters from string I want to remove all special characters from a string. Allowed characters are A-Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers (0-9), underscore (_), or the dot sign (.).
I have the following, it works but I suspect (I know!) it's not very efficient:
    public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str)
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
        {
            if ((str[i] >= '0' && str[i] <= '9')
                || (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'z'
                    || (str[i] == '.' || str[i] == '_')))
                {
                    sb.Append(str[i]);
                }
        }

        return sb.ToString();
    }

What is the most efficient way to do this? What would a regular expression look like, and how does it compare with normal string manipulation?
The strings that will be cleaned will be rather short, usually between 10 and 30 characters in length.

A: I'm not convinced your algorithm is anything but efficient. It's O(n) and only looks at each character once. You're not gonna get any better than that unless you magically know values before checking them.
I would however initialize the capacity of your StringBuilder to the initial size of the string. I'm guessing your perceived performance problem comes from memory reallocation.
Side note: Checking A-z is not safe. You're including [, \, ], ^, _, and `...
Side note 2: For that extra bit of efficiency, put the comparisons in an order to minimize the number of comparisons. (At worst, you're talking 8 comparisons tho, so don't think too hard.) This changes with your expected input, but one example could be:
if (str[i] >= '0' && str[i] <= 'z' &&
    (str[i] >= 'a' || str[i] <= '9' ||  (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z') ||
    str[i] == '_') || str[i] == '.')

Side note 3: If for whatever reason you REALLY need this to be fast, a switch statement may be faster. The compiler should create a jump table for you, resulting in only a single comparison:
switch (str[i])
{
    case '0':
    case '1':
    .
    .
    .
    case '.':
        sb.Append(str[i]);
        break;
}

A: You can use regular expresion as follows:
return Regex.Replace(strIn, @"[^\w\.@-]", "", RegexOptions.None, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.0));

A: It seems good to me. The only improvement I would make is to initialize the StringBuilder with the length of the string.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(str.Length);

A: StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

for (int i = 0; i < fName.Length; i++)
{
   if (char.IsLetterOrDigit(fName[i]))
    {
       sb.Append(fName[i]);
    }
}

A: Why do you think that your method is not efficient? It's actually one of the most efficient ways that you can do it.
You should of course read the character into a local variable or use an enumerator to reduce the number of array accesses:
public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(this string str) {
   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
   foreach (char c in str) {
      if ((c >= '0' && c <= '9') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') || (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || c == '.' || c == '_') {
         sb.Append(c);
      }
   }
   return sb.ToString();
}

One thing that makes a method like this efficient is that it scales well. The execution time will be relative to the length of the string. There is no nasty surprises if you would use it on a large string.
Edit:
I made a quick performance test, running each function a million times with a 24 character string. These are the results:
Original function: 54.5 ms.
My suggested change: 47.1 ms.
Mine with setting StringBuilder capacity: 43.3 ms.
Regular expression: 294.4 ms.
Edit 2:
I added the distinction between A-Z and a-z in the code above. (I reran the performance test, and there is no noticable difference.)
Edit 3:
I tested the lookup+char[] solution, and it runs in about 13 ms.
The price to pay is, of course, the initialization of the huge lookup table and keeping it in memory. Well, it's not that much data, but it's much for such a trivial function...
private static bool[] _lookup;

static Program() {
   _lookup = new bool[65536];
   for (char c = '0'; c <= '9'; c++) _lookup[c] = true;
   for (char c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; c++) _lookup[c] = true;
   for (char c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++) _lookup[c] = true;
   _lookup['.'] = true;
   _lookup['_'] = true;
}

public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str) {
   char[] buffer = new char[str.Length];
   int index = 0;
   foreach (char c in str) {
      if (_lookup[c]) {
         buffer[index] = c;
         index++;
      }
   }
   return new string(buffer, 0, index);
}

A: I agree with this code sample. The only different it I make it into Extension Method of string type. So that you can use it in a very simple line or code:
string test = "abc@#$123";
test.RemoveSpecialCharacters();

Thank to Guffa for your experiment.
public static class MethodExtensionHelper
    {
    public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(this string str)
        {
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (char c in str)
            {
                if ((c >= '0' && c <= '9') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') || (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || c == '_')
                {
                    sb.Append(c);
                }
            }
            return sb.ToString();
        }
}

A: There are lots of proposed solutions here, some more efficient than others, but perhaps not very readable.  Here's one that may not be the most efficient, but certainly usable for most situations, and is quite concise and readable, leveraging Linq:
string stringToclean = "This is a test.  Do not try this at home; you might get hurt. Don't believe it?";

var validPunctuation = new HashSet<char>(". -");

var cleanedVersion = new String(stringToclean.Where(x => (x >= 'A' && x <= 'Z') || (x >= 'a' && x <= 'z') || validPunctuation.Contains(x)).ToArray());

var cleanedLowercaseVersion = new String(stringToclean.ToLower().Where(x => (x >= 'a' && x <= 'z') || validPunctuation.Contains(x)).ToArray());

A: Well, unless you really need to squeeze the performance out of your function, just go with what is easiest to maintain and understand. A regular expression would look like this:
For additional performance, you can either pre-compile it or just tell it to compile on first call (subsequent calls will be faster.)
public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str)
{
    return Regex.Replace(str, "[^a-zA-Z0-9_.]+", "", RegexOptions.Compiled);
}

A: I would use a String Replace with a Regular Expression searching for "special characters", replacing all characters found with an empty string.

A: I had to do something similar for work, but in my case I had to filter all that is not a letter, number or whitespace (but you could easily modify it to your needs).
The filtering is done client-side in JavaScript, but for security reasons I am also doing the filtering server-side. Since I can expect most of the strings to be clean, I would like to avoid copying the string unless I really need to. This let my to the implementation below, which should perform better for both clean and dirty strings.
public static string EnsureOnlyLetterDigitOrWhiteSpace(string input)
{
    StringBuilder cleanedInput = null;
    for (var i = 0; i < input.Length; ++i)
    {
        var currentChar = input[i];
        var charIsValid = char.IsLetterOrDigit(currentChar) || char.IsWhiteSpace(currentChar);

        if (charIsValid)
        {
            if(cleanedInput != null)
                cleanedInput.Append(currentChar);
        }
        else
        {
            if (cleanedInput != null) continue;
            cleanedInput = new StringBuilder();
            if (i > 0)
                cleanedInput.Append(input.Substring(0, i));
        }
    }

    return cleanedInput == null ? input : cleanedInput.ToString();
}

A: Another way that attempts to improve performance by reducing allocations, especially if this function is called many times.
It works because you can guarantee the result won't be longer than the input, so the input and output can be passed without creating extra copies in memory. For this reason you can't use stackalloc to create the buffer array as this would require a copy out of the buffer.
public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(this string str)
{
    return RemoveSpecialCharacters(str.AsSpan()).ToString();
}

public static ReadOnlySpan<char> RemoveSpecialCharacters(this ReadOnlySpan<char> str)
{
    Span<char> buffer = new char[str.Length];
    int idx = 0;

    foreach (char c in str)
    {
        if (char.IsLetterOrDigit(c))
        {
            buffer[idx] = c;
            idx++;
        }
    }

    return buffer.Slice(0, idx);
}

A: A regular expression will look like:
public string RemoveSpecialChars(string input)
{
    return Regex.Replace(input, @"[^0-9a-zA-Z\._]", string.Empty);
}

But if performance is highly important, I recommend you to do some benchmarks before selecting the "regex path"...

A: I suggest creating a simple lookup table, which you can initialize in the static constructor to set any combination of characters to valid.  This lets you do a quick, single check.
edit
Also, for speed, you'll want to initialize the capacity of your StringBuilder to the length of your input string.  This will avoid reallocations.  These two methods together will give you both speed and flexibility.
another edit
I think the compiler might optimize it out, but as a matter of style as well as efficiency, I recommend foreach instead of for.

A: public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str)
{
    char[] buffer = new char[str.Length];
    int idx = 0;

    foreach (char c in str)
    {
        if ((c >= '0' && c <= '9') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z')
            || (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c == '.') || (c == '_'))
        {
            buffer[idx] = c;
            idx++;
        }
    }

    return new string(buffer, 0, idx);
}

A: If you're using a dynamic list of characters, LINQ may offer a much faster and graceful solution:
public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string value, char[] specialCharacters)
{
    return new String(value.Except(specialCharacters).ToArray());
}

I compared this approach against two of the previous "fast" approaches (release compilation):

*

*Char array solution by LukeH - 427 ms

*StringBuilder solution - 429 ms

*LINQ (this answer) - 98 ms

Note that the algorithm is slightly modified - the characters are passed in as an array rather than hard-coded, which could be impacting things slightly (ie/ the other solutions would have an inner foor loop to check the character array).
If I switch to a hard-coded solution using a LINQ where clause, the results are:

*

*Char array solution - 7ms

*StringBuilder solution - 22ms

*LINQ - 60 ms

Might be worth looking at LINQ or a modified approach if you're planning on writing a more generic solution, rather than hard-coding the list of characters. LINQ definitely gives you concise, highly readable code - even more so than Regex.

A: I wonder if a Regex-based replacement (possibly compiled) is faster. Would have to test that Someone has found this to be ~5 times slower.
Other than that, you should initialize the StringBuilder with an expected length, so that the intermediate string doesn't have to be copied around while it grows.
A good number is the length of the original string, or something slightly lower (depending on the nature of the functions inputs).
Finally, you can use a lookup table (in the range 0..127) to find out whether a character is to be accepted.

A: For S&G's, Linq-ified way:
var original = "(*^%foo)(@)&^@#><>?:\":';=-+_";
var valid = new char[] {
    'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o',
    'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D',
    'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S',
    'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8',
    '9', '0', '.', '_' };
var result = string.Join("",
    (from x in original.ToCharArray()
     where valid.Contains(x) select x.ToString())
        .ToArray());

I don't think this is going to be the most efficient way, however.

A: public string RemoveSpecial(string evalstr)
{
StringBuilder finalstr = new StringBuilder();
            foreach(char c in evalstr){
            int charassci = Convert.ToInt16(c);
            if (!(charassci >= 33 && charassci <= 47))// special char ???
             finalstr.append(c);
            }
return finalstr.ToString();
}

A: The following code has the following output (conclusion is that we can also save some memory resources allocating array smaller size):
lookup = new bool[123];

for (var c = '0'; c <= '9'; c++)
{
    lookup[c] = true; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine((int)c + ": " + (char)c);
}

for (var c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; c++)
{
    lookup[c] = true; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine((int)c + ": " + (char)c);
}

for (var c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++)
{
    lookup[c] = true; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine((int)c + ": " + (char)c);
}

You can also add the following code lines to support Russian locale (array size will be 1104):
for (var c = 'А'; c <= 'Я'; c++)
{
    lookup[c] = true; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine((int)c + ": " + (char)c);
}

for (var c = 'а'; c <= 'я'; c++)
{
    lookup[c] = true; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine((int)c + ": " + (char)c);
}

A: Use:
s.erase(std::remove_if(s.begin(), s.end(), my_predicate), s.end());

bool my_predicate(char c)
{
 return !(isalpha(c) || c=='_' || c==' '); // depending on you definition of special characters
}

And you'll get a clean string s.
erase() will strip it of all the special characters and is highly customisable with the my_predicate() function.

A: HashSet is O(1)
Not sure if it is faster than the existing comparison
private static HashSet<char> ValidChars = new HashSet<char>() { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'A', 'B', 'C', '1', '2', '3', '_' };
public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(str.Length / 2);
    foreach (char c in str)
    {
        if (ValidChars.Contains(c)) sb.Append(c);
    }
    return sb.ToString();
}

I tested and this in not faster than the accepted answer.
I will leave it up as if you needed a configurable set of characters this would be a good solution.

A: I'm not sure it is the most efficient way, but It works for me
 Public Function RemoverTildes(stIn As String) As String
    Dim stFormD As String = stIn.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD)
    Dim sb As New StringBuilder()

    For ich As Integer = 0 To stFormD.Length - 1
        Dim uc As UnicodeCategory = CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(stFormD(ich))
        If uc <> UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark Then
            sb.Append(stFormD(ich))
        End If
    Next
    Return (sb.ToString().Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormC))
End Function

A: Shortest way just a 3 line...
public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str)
{
    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    foreach (var c in str.Where(c => c >= '0' && c <= '9' || c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z' || c >= 'a' && c <= 'z' || c == '.' || c == '_')) sb.Append(c);
    return sb.ToString();
}

A: Simple way with LINQ
string text = "123a22 ";
var newText = String.Join(string.Empty, text.Where(x => x != 'a'));

A: If you need to clean up the input string in case of injections or typos (rare events), the fastest way is to use the switch() to check all characters (the compiler does a good job of optimizing the execution time of switch() ) plus the additional code to remove the unwanted characters if there were found. Here is the solution:
    public static string RemoveExtraCharacters(string input)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
            return "";

        input = input.Trim();

        StringBuilder sb = null;

    reStart:
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
        {
            var len = input.Length; ;

            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                switch (input[i])
                {
                    case '0':
                    case '1':
                    case '2':

                    case 'B':
                    case 'C':
                    case 'D':
                    case 'E':
                    case 'F':

                    case ':':
                    case '=':
                    case ' ':
                    case '^':
                    case '$':
                        break;

                    default:
                        if (sb == null)
                            sb = new StringBuilder();

A: If you're worried about speed, use pointers to edit the existing string. You could pin the string and get a pointer to it, then run a for loop over each character, overwriting each invalid character with a replacement character.  It would be extremely efficient and would not require allocating any new string memory.  You would also need to compile your module with the unsafe option, and add the "unsafe" modifier to your method header in order to use pointers.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string str = "string!$%with^&*invalid!!characters";
    Console.WriteLine( str ); //print original string
    FixMyString( str, ' ' );
    Console.WriteLine( str ); //print string again to verify that it has been modified
    Console.ReadLine(); //pause to leave command prompt open
}

public static unsafe void FixMyString( string str, char replacement_char )
{
    fixed (char* p_str = str)
    {
        char* c = p_str; //temp pointer, since p_str is read-only
        for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++, c++) //loop through each character in string, advancing the character pointer as well
            if (!IsValidChar(*c)) //check whether the current character is invalid
                (*c) = replacement_char; //overwrite character in existing string with replacement character
    }
}

public static bool IsValidChar( char c )
{
    return (c >= '0' && c <= '9') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') || (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c == '.' || c == '_');
    //return char.IsLetterOrDigit( c ) || c == '.' || c == '_'; //this may work as well
}

A: public static string RemoveSpecialCharacters(string str){
    return str.replaceAll("[^A-Za-z0-9_\\\\.]", "");
}

A: public static string RemoveAllSpecialCharacters(this string text) {
  if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
    return text;

  string result = Regex.Replace(text, "[:!@#$%^&*()}{|\":?><\\[\\]\\;'/.,~]", " ");
  return result;

This week, Pastor Brian opened his message series about "Home," our eternal home in heaven. My application of these scriptures will clearly be about our life in the here and now but, for a Christian, life and death are tightly related. We need look no further than Christ's life, ministry, and ultimate sacrifice to understand that. Let's focus in on a small piece of Paul's second letter to the Corinthians.
Triggers to Drink: What drives us to escape through drink or drugs? At the time, what made sense about it and what didn't make sense about it. These triggers don't go away but they can lose their power.
What evidence do you have that God can, and will, enable a better life? This is living Step 2.
When I began my sobriety, I believed in God and the life, ministry, and sacrifice of Christ Jesus. What took some time was understanding how God could, and would, restore sanity to my life. This was personal. This required that I surrender to God's will through Step 3.
Step 3 – Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Is more than a decision really needed? Why or why not?
This should be more than enough to fuel our thoughts and discussion this Thursday evening. I look forward to seeing you and sharing our thoughts.

My relationship to photography and to the camera changed drastically when I attended Cranbrook Academy of Art from 1991–1993. Definitions and uses of "good," vernacular, documentary, exploratory photography all exploded around me. One of my first grad school projects, "What I Know About Photography" confronted this new knowledge with my past as the son of a wedding photographer.

The Building Centre Network can arrange for tradesmen to carry out repairs, maintenance, or small building projects.

We can organise work and tradesmen for domestic, home, strata, apartment, office, investment and commercial property needs.
To satisfy our customers, the tradesman or contractor who you will meet to discuss you needs, work for themselves. They are licensed (where needed), hold current insurance and are mature, experienced and courteous. They carry out work to a quality standard at a realistic price. They may not be the cheapest (but then again do you want a cheap job?), nor are they likely to be the most expensive. They deliver value, reliability, trust and quality of workmanship.
Our Quality Service Providers can also assist you with the design drawings of your desired bathroom for a nominal fee, which will be done in 3D view. Drawings, which you'll get to keep, will be based on your budget, needs and preferences.

If you're a foreign entrepreneur who wants to enter the Chinese e-commerce market, it's wise to get a Taobao partner.
A Taobao Partner or Tmall Partner is a certified agency that gives a one-stop service to build your brand's presence.This is a team that will help you create and manage an online store on Tmall platform.
Tmall is the best online marketplace to introduce your brand. It is where most of the Chinese consumers buy goods with foreign brands.
And if you want to build a solid presence t in this platform, TP has the right tools and solutions to support you.
How exactly do they help foreign brands?
Frank Cho, one of the major TP and the manager of Accomate, shared that it is hard for a businessman to put up an online store on his own on Tmall.
His agency started in 2009 and it serves Korean brands such as Amore Pacific, YG Entertainment, and Emart.
According to him, it is risky and it has a huge impact on the investment. They hire people, deliver the products, make the inventory and build their flagship store.
What adds to this challenge is the brand's lack of knowledge and experience in China.
These challenges can be overwhelming and tedious for those who are new in the business.
So, collaborating with TP for your future online store is a smart investment. Getting a TP eliminates the need to communicate with other e-commerce companies.
Simply put, a Taobao Partner will manage your platform. They will take care of the operations and IT solutions.
For your brand's awareness, they will be in charge of digital marketing, content, videos and web design. There is also no need for an inventory because they get the products from different brands.
Your customer's satisfaction is their priority as well. They have a team that will give you a data about consumer's buying behavior and preference. They also implement creative strategies that can improve your customer's' shopping experience.
In spite of TP's success, you have to be aware of its struggles. This will help you decide whether you should push for e-commerce or look for other options.
First, the Chinese internet companies have decided to invest in offline locations to create a good shopping experience. This is the reason why the traffic on online companies has slow down and the cost in sustaining online sales is high.
With these problems, they have to balance their online and offline channels.
Second is brands are leaving TPs. Fashion brands like Zara and Eland decided to have their own online platforms. Thus, it gave a negative impact to their TPs such as Baozun and Accomate.
Moreover, TP needs huge manpower. As the labor cost increases, it becomes tougher for them to keep their workers.
To tie up with a certain TP goes beyond a business relationship. Remember, it is your partner.
It's important to choose a certified Taobao Partner. Tmall certifies agencies if they meet certain standards and conditions.
To qualify, a TP must have experience in the cross-border e-commerce and logistics field. They should also have a multilingual staff, an ERP system, IT interface, established international offices and a cross-border warehousing.
Aside from certification, pick the TP that has experience in your industry. Your TP should understand the rules that concern government certification of your products.
For example, if you have a cosmetic company, a TP with wide experience in that industry can help you enter the Chinese market without breaking the important rules.
It's also best to create a long-term market strategy before you work with a TP. Set clear goals, know your target audience, and examine your brand's reputation. This way, you'll know how you should market your brand in China.
Booming global brands in China are the ones who blend with their culture. If you want to be one of these brands, then grab the opportunity to work with Taobao Partner.

Memorandum of Understanding signed by standards bodies
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed by Standards Australia and Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) to work closer in developing food standards in Australia.
Mr Graham Peachey, chief executive officer of FSANZ and Mr John Tucker, chief executive officer of Standards Australia signed the MoU.
Mr Peachey said, at the signing ceremony in Canberra, that work in food standards setting sometimes overlapped the broader standards work of Standards Australia.
"We've seen some important collaborative work in the last 12 months between the two organisations."
"An example of this is the standardisation of fish naming, although it was not a food safety issue both FSANZ and Standards Australia worked closely with the seafood industry to finalise a general standard for uniform fish names in 2006. This standard will ensure the seafood industry uses standard names for fish, which often vary from state to state, and it will help prevent consumer confusion.
"Consumers and organic growers are also interested in uniform accreditation for organic food. Once again, this isn't a safety issue for inclusion in the Food Standards Code but it is under consideration as a future Australian Standard on Organics and biodynamic produce by Standards Australia," Mr Peachey said.
Mr Tucker said the agreement builds on the positive relationship Standards Australia has shared with FSANZ over many years.
"This is an important agreement that will strengthen ties between the peak food standards developers in Australia and will lead to the development of integrated food standards.
"This is an example of the closer stakeholder relations that we will be establishing in many fields under our new business model.
Under the memorandum of understanding the two organisations will:
work together on standard setting and other joint activities;
provide expertise on each other's technical committees;
work together to ensure there is no overlap between the work of the two agencies; and
share information related to food industry and consumers needs.

Assess their pain using a scale for non-verbal patients. Explain the scale to the patient and instruct the patient to point to the number that best represents his or her current pain level.
Monitoring vital signs and behavioral changes that may signify greater pain in these patients, such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, restlessness, and anxiety, is essential.
If the assessment indicates pain, prompt administration of analgesia is warranted (as ordered). Morphine sulphate, meperidine, and fentanyl are most commonly used to treat pain in NF patients.
Work with dieticians to calculate the nutritional requirements based on laboratory values and daily weights since nutritional requirements ranging from two to three times normal amounts with adequate hydration are critical to provide sufficient calories and protein for wound healing.
Assess the surrounding tissue to see if the fascia can be separated during wound dressing.
Encourage realistic expectations for the appearance of skin grafting and reconstructive surgery and realistic goals for the rehabilitation process since patients with NF often require skin grafting after surgical debridement.
Assess the patient's support system and pre-surgery coping skills by questioning the patient and family about any pre-existing psychological and psychiatric problems since such a history has been linked to poor adjustment.
Encourage patients to express their emotions regarding disfigurement, role conflict, and sexual function.

Good health is important to kids and adolescents. Just like any family medicine specialty, quality care is guaranteed when one seeks medical attention from doctors who specialize in a particular niche of medicine. Pediatricians focus on prevention, control, and treatment of multiple health disorders facing children aged 0-18 years.
Quality healthcare at an early age ensures that children are prevented from early life opportunistic diseases and injuries thereby leading a healthy lifestyle in preparation for a healthy adult life.
Medical specialists say that children are at a higher risk of bad health compared to adults. This is because of their body physiology, behavior, and body size. Children have immature body systems that are easily damaged when exposed to environmental toxicants. Likewise, kids have a weaker immune system that cannot adequately defend the body against disease-causing organisms.
Children's inability to make critical health choices is another factor that increases their vulnerability to illness and injury. As a result, they are vulnerable to falls, have a higher risk of coming into contact with disease-causing organisms or even engaging in risky behavior that is detrimental to their health.
For this reason, they require expert medical attention and care that considers their physical and emotional growth. Unlike other general health practitioners, pediatricians ensure that treatment process is family centered, is carried out in a child-friendly environment and alleviates a child's fear of diagnostic tests and procedures.
Experience is the first factor that defines reputable service providers from the rest. Cedar Park Pediatrics has been providing health service to children and adolescents of age 0-18 since 2005. We work under the leadership of Dr. Joe Cohen and Dr. Kathleen Henderson, doctors who have a wealth of knowledge in the field of pediatric family medicine.
Besides, our clinic has a dedicated team of pediatricians, and medical professionals who specialize in all childhood infections, injuries and other detrimental health conditions. Since children are a special population that requires professional care, our service delivery is designed to be accessible to all children, comprehensive and it is intended to meet the unique needs of each client.
Our quality of service has given us a satisfactory rating in Better Business Bureau and Yelp, review sites that use customer opinions to rate various service providers.
Our health specialists carry out routine medical checkups to identify and control infections at an early stage. We also offer consultations on severe medical disorders. Clients can contact our clinic through phone, email address, or engage us through the live chat option on the website. Contact us today and be sure to find solutions to all medical conditions that are facing your child in Georgetown TX.

Google Acquires Video Editing Service For YouTube
TechCrunch, Thursday, July 31, 2008 11 AM
In a rare acquisition, Google's YouTube acquired startup Omnisio, a service that lets users edit videos.
Omnisio lets users extract sections of video clips found on YouTube, Google Video or Blip.tv and then mash them up to form their own embeddable video clips. According to TechCrunch, the all-cash deal is worth $15 million.
Omnisio, which was founded by Australian trio Ryan Junee, Julian Frumar and Simon Ratner, has only been around since March 2008; TechCrunch points out that the sale is another win for owner Y Combinator, which invests small amounts of capital in companies at the idea stage. Reddit, acquired in 2006, TextPayMe, bought by Amazon in 2007, and Auctomatic and Anywhere.FM, acquired earlier this year, are other former Y Combinator companies.

The best big meat BBQ knife. Big Cuts of meat can be broken down easiest with a big knife. Cimiters (Scimitars) are great for pulling the knife towards yourself in a natural movement, which finishes by pulling away from the meat. At 12", there is a lot of sharp edge to easily slice through roasts, turkeys, and more. They're dishwasher safe and can stand up to the abuse of a commercial kitchen.

Q: Chrome forcing ssl on non ssl heroku web application I have an application running on Heroku, and a dns cname entry that points to it. Looks something like this:
one.nest.mysite.com --> one-nest-domain.herokuapp.com

We also have another site that uses ssl, with a certificate for *.mysite.com.
In Chrome 52 right now, when I go to http://one.nest.mysite.com (not https), I get redirect to https://, and Chrome warns "Your connection is not private, attackers might be ..." etc.
I think I understand the warning (*.mysite.com does not cover one.nest.mysite.com, but why is https being forced? Is this some cached redirect somewhere? I've tried fully clearing my browser data, but it still happens. I'm also finding in Safari its working fine...
And lastly when I go to http://one-nest-domain.herokuapp.com (no https), the app loads fine with no redirect.

A: So it appears that our configuration for our main site, nest.mysite.com, was including subdomains when pinning certificates. So after visiting https://nest.mysite.com, the certificate was stored on the client and pinned to subdomains. Subsequently visiting http://one.nest.mysite.com would use that certificate, which would force ssl and cause the error.
Excluding subdomain pinning from our main server configuration appears to have fixed things. Note that for the fix to propagate, users would have to visit https://nest.mysite.com to refresh the ssl settings, and then http://one.nest.mysite.com worked as expected.
Hope this is useful to someone else. Caveat: I'm no expert on ssl so take my answer with a grain of salt.

I attended a workshop by national law firm Norton Rose Fulbright to introduce and explain their CFI Legal and Contracts Guide.
Norton Rose Fulbright won a $222,400 grant from the Department of Agriculture, under their now lapsed Extension and Outreach program, for their interesting proposal to produce a comprehensive legal guide to support the CFI sector. It might sound like a lot of money, but good folk at NRF have produced a 143 page printed tome on this complex cross-disciplinary area. They are also taking the guide on a national tour.
So what have NRF done?
The guide aims to be a legal reference tool for all things CFI. Part A of the guide is really a comprehensive introduction to the CFI. This part covers eight stages of working with the CFI from planning a project to dealing in credits, including a useful section on land rights and native title land. To an extent, this builds on existing introductory guides, including the CMI Business Guide developed fro CMI by NRF.
Part B is the new juicy part on contracts guidance and is the more significant new contribution by NRF. The part covers types of contracts, contractor beware checklists and selecting 'fit for purpose' contracts. Perhaps the best part is the 'clause bank' – a packed table of the kinds of clause to expect and why buyers and sellers would want them. This guide does not remove the need for expert advisers but allows project developers and landowners to be much more savvy about relevant issues and have a feel for how these issues are encapsulated in contracts.
If I find time to plough through the entire guide I'll post a review. But at a glance, the guide is an impressive effort that contains an enormous collection of information. Check it out.
Disclosure: I assisted with the sections relating to land rights and native title land in the guide.

1000 Friends of Oregon has been working with Oregonians since 1975 to protect farmland so it remains available for farming, and to facilitate the creation of cities, towns and neighborhoods that provide residents with access to the things they need for a quality life – including healthy, nutritious food.
Through our Food Systems Program, we partner with allies across the state to support the development of sustainable food systems. How can you be involved? Find out here.
A sustainable food system integrates all of these elements to enhance economic, environmental, social, and nutritional health for all.
Food systems can vary in size. Oregon's food system is made up of numerous community and regional food systems, and is itself part of larger food systems.
Most of the food we eat comes from farms. A reliable supply of the right kind of farmland is necessary for a sustainable, equitable, and economically robust food system. Ensuring that land remains available for agriculture is critical, but farmers also have to be able to make a fair living selling what they produce. If farmers are not economically successful, they face heavy pressure to do something else with their land. Thus, the existence of food depends on both farmland and successful farmers.
That is not the whole picture, though. We also need to have adequate supplies of industrial land, in the right places, to facilitate processing and warehousing of the crops farmers produce. Our transportation system needs to connect the farms to these industrial sites, and those industrial sites to the markets and restaurants where people actually get the food they eat. Those stores and restaurants need to be located in neighborhoods where people actually live and work. People need to be able to get to those places even if they do not have (or choose not to drive) a car. A healthy food system is every bit as dependent on the right types of urban development and uses being in the right places as it is on a reliable supply of the right types of farmland in the right places.
None of the requirements of a sustainable food system exist in isolation to the others. Food systems work is huge—no one organization can possibly be effective at doing it all. But our mission at 1000 Friends of Oregon is central to successful food systems, and healthy food systems advance many of our goals.
We created the Food Systems Program in 2015 as a way to highlight these relationships and integrate them more fully into our work. This new program refines and builds on the results of the Too Many Homes on the Range project we completed in 2004, the Envision Oregon work we did in 2007 and 2008, the New Face of Farming project we initiated in 2011 and the Great and Growing study completed in 2013 – all of which continue to guide our work to this day.
The work of the Food Systems Program is based on inclusion of community members and is conducted largely through collaboration with other organizations. Our staff was involved in the creation and early leadership of the Central Oregon Food Policy Council. Food Systems Program Director Greg Holmes was part of the group that created the Rogue Valley Food Systems Network, and has served as its Chair since its inception.
The Rogue Valley Food Systems Network serves as an excellent example of what food systems work looks like at 1000 Friends. The Network's mission is to establish "a collaborative community of leadership to develop and advocate for a healthy and sustainable food system in Josephine and Jackson Counties." The Network continues to grow and currently includes nearly 40 partners, including farmers, food banks, restaurants, businesses, universities, both Jackson and Josephine counties, several cities, faith communities, public health agencies, Combined Care Organizations (CCOs), and numerous nonprofits that do everything from economic development to farmer training to education to land use advocacy.
Partners are joining together to align what might in the past have been several unrelated projects so they all further the same set of goals.
Network partners are working together to ensure food security for all Oregonians. For example, Access (the food bank in Jackson County), Jackson County Public Health, OSU Extension, Rogue Valley Farm to School and the local CCO, which are all focused on a neighborhood in West Medford that has been identified as a food desert. There are no grocery stores near this neighborhood, but there are some corner stores selling convenience items. One such store, very close to an elementary school, agreed to start carrying healthier food items. Grants were secured to obtain coolers, outreach and education was done at the local school, a street fair was held – complete with cooking demonstrations and giveaways – a neighborhood park was redone with a new community garden, and a health clinic serving the neighborhood initiated a healthy-eating program for its patients, who are then encouraged to patronize the market and use the garden.
The success of these interrelated programs has brought new attention to addressing the equity issues facing residents of this neighborhood. The city of Medford and the Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) have recently joined with 1000 Friends and others to evaluate policies and programs that could attract new healthy food businesses to the area and also provide residents with transportation options when they need to leave the neighborhood to get access to healthy food.
We are working with other Network partners on farm security issues as well. Thrive, a local non-profit that works on economic development, is working with regional farmers, a food distribution company, and numerous grocery stores in the region on a project to increase the access that small and medium farmers have to the regional wholesale market. OSU Small Farms Program and Rogue Farm Corps are helping train the farmers in the business skills necessary to participate in this market, while Access is providing cooking skills demonstrations in front of the stores as part of the marketing campaign to build public awareness of the importance and availability of local produce. 1000 Friends has been involved in this project, too, working with local farmers to address infrastructure gaps that are a barrier to local farmers getting into the wholesale markets.
Food systems work is bigger than what any one organization can do successfully. There are a lot of parts – and they're always moving. Some of the connections are more obvious than others. By collaborating with others and tying all the parts together we can leverage each other's strengths and successes, and reach outcomes that are greater than the sum of the individual efforts would produce.
Word of the successes of these programs is spreading. Community leaders in Klamath County, Douglas County, and along Oregon's south coast have asked for our assistance as they work to build similar networks in their communities. Other communities around the state have independently had their own efforts underway for varying amounts of time. All of these efforts are organized differently and have different focus as appropriate for the communities they are in and the people and organizations involved.
One thing they all have in common, though, is the need to share information and resources. With that in mind, a group has come together over the course of the last couple of years to form an Oregon Community Food Systems Network, which will serve as a resource repository and will develop a voice to advocate for good food policy at the state level. 1000 Friends of Oregon is proud to be a part of that effort.
While the details of how we do our work may evolve, 1000 Friends of Oregon's mission remains the same: we continue to work with Oregonians for a livable and sustainable state. By organizing some of this work around food systems we have a new way of explaining and connecting that mission to the lives of all Oregonians. This will introduce us to new allies, create new opportunities, and result in new successes. Do you have ideas about how 1000 Friends can work with you and your community to foster sustainable food systems? Do you want more information and to know what you can do in your community?
For more information, or to share your thoughts, contact the 1000 Friends of Oregon Food Systems Program Director Greg Holmes at 541.474.1155, or greg@friends.org.

[David O. McKay] I asked what conclusion the brethren had reached regarding the matter. President Tanner said the same conclusion that was arrived at about two years ago, that Elder Benson should discontinue this kind of thing [political extremism], and particularly in stake conferences, and should limit himself to talking about the gospel and its applications. President Tanner said that he thought I made as clear a statement on the subject as he had heard made in the meeting of the Council of the First Presidency and the Twelve at that time. I said that there is no reason why we should not continue that understanding.


(c) a person who is, or who the accused believes is, under the age of 14 years, for the purpose of facilitating the commission of an offence under section 281 with respect to that person.
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of 30 days.
(3) Evidence that the person referred to in paragraph (1)(a), (b) or (c) was represented to the accused as being under the age of 18, 16 or 14 years, as the case may be, is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, proof that the accused believed that the person was under that age.
(4) It is not a defence to a charge under paragraph (1)(a), (b) or (c) that the accused believed that the person referred to in that paragraph was at least 18, 16 or 14 years of age, as the case may be, unless the accused took reasonable steps to ascertain the age of the person.

The barriers to entry for any provider wanting to create an e-procurement or procure-to-pay (P2P) solution are perhaps the highest of any technology area in the procurement sector. Not only must solutions combine a world-class experience for all frontline users from a shopping and buying experience to be competitive, they also must feature entirely different sets of capabilities to enable both procurement organizations (and suppliers) to collectively manage dozens of elements to ensure that all purchases are in compliance with company policies, contracts and supplier agreements. Ideally, these two elements combine to guide users to an optimal buying experience both for their own requirements and the company, steering them in ways they may not even be aware of.
BuyerQuest is one of only a select number of new entrants to gain traction in the e-procurement — and more recently, the P2P — market in recent years by meeting these requirements, often in differentiated ways. This Spend Matters PRO Vendor Snapshot explores BuyerQuest's strengths and weaknesses, providing facts and expert analysis to help procurement organizations decide whether they should consider the provider. Part 1 of our analysis provided a company and detailed solution overview and a recommend fit list of criteria for firms considering BuyerQuest. The third part of this series will offer a SWOT analysis, user selection guide, competitive alternatives, and additional evaluation and selection considerations.

For optimum flexibility Pentamers may be ordered labeled with R-PE, APC or biotin, or unlabeled with an additional Pro5® Fluorotag or Pro5® Biotag. Directly labeled Pentamers are stored at 4°C and are quick and convenient to use. They are especially valuable in the analysis of a single donor sample for multiple peptide specificities. A single donor sample may be simultaneously stained and analyzed for multiple specificities by double or triple staining with labeled Pentamers. This generates a more complete profile of the immune response whilst reducing the total number of cells required for staining. Any combination of R-PE-labeled, APC-labeled and biotin-labeled Pentamers may be used for this purpose.
Unlabeled Pentamers may be stored at -80°C and are guaranteed for 12 months under such conditions, making them perfect for long-term studies. Internal validation of a large batch of Pentamer at the beginning of a study saves time by not having to re-qualify new reagent batches every few months. Unlabeled Pentamers offer the user added staining flexibility, in that the same complex may be used with a number of different fluorochromes. This feature makes experimental design more adaptable, especially when choosing antibodies to cell surface markers or intracellular proteins that are only available in certain colors.
Pro5® Pentamers are available in 50, 150 and 500 test quantities. One test of Pentamer is sufficient to stain approximately 1-2 x 106 PBMCs. Pentamers can be supplied unlabeled or labeled, with a choice of R-PE, APC or biotin. R-PE or APC fluorescent Pro5® Fluorotags and Pro5® Biotag are available separately for use with unlabeled Pentamers in corresponding quantities of 50, 150 and 500 tests.
Pro5® Pentamer analysis should be carried out with co-staining of the CD8+ T cell population. All Pentamers are optionally available in a kit with a FITC-labeled, anti CD8 monoclonal antibody (human or mouse). The antibody clone supplied in the kit has been tested for superior performance in conjunction with Pentamer products, and is provided as a separate aliquot. This enables the user to titrate the antibody in order to find the optimum working dilution. There are over 250 different Pentamer specificities available in our catalog, encompassing epitopes for cancer and infectious diseases such as CMV, EBV, HBV, HCV, HPV, Influenza and many more. List of catalogue Pentamers.
If your chosen specificity is not in our range, custom Pro5® Pentamers are available in the same format as catalog items. Our technical expertise and experience making thousands of different MHC-peptide complexes means that we are able to provide custom reagents efficiently and with a high rate of success. Custom Pentamers are usually subject to a non-refundable set-up charge, which will be applied once for each item. The set-up charge will not be applied to repeat orders of the same Pentamer. The price for a custom Pentamer includes the synthesis of the specific custom peptide. ProImmune will only proceed with the synthesis of a custom Pentamer if we are confident that the peptide will bind sufficiently to the relevant MHC allele. Usually synthesis will proceed if the affinity score is 21 or higher on www.syfpeithi.com. Lower scoring peptides will be considered if sufficient supporting evidence is available for binding.
ProImmune provides matched peptides for all catalog peptide specificities and custom Pro5® Pentamers. Matched peptides are provided lyophilized in 1 or 2 mg quantity, and at a guaranteed purity of >70% (immunograde). They are suitable for in vitro T cell stimulation experiments and can be purchased at a much-reduced cost compared to a separate standard custom peptide synthesis. Matched peptides are dispatched in less than one week.

Was ist HTML?

HTML ist eine plattformunabhängige Dokumentbeschreibungssprache,
   die kann man auf Deutsch als Auszeichnungssprache für Hypertexte
   übersetzen und die für Web-Seiten Herstellung und Strukturierung
   geeignet ist. Das HTML-Dokument enthält den zu übertragenden
   Text und zusätzlich HTML-Kommandos (Tags, Marken) zu seiner Formatierung,
   Bilder, Querverweise auf andere Dokumente (Hyperlinks) oder auch Töne,
   animierte Bilder und Formulare für Eingaben.

Wie schreibt man HTML?

Es gibt viele verschiedene Programme, um eine Internetseite
   herzustellen, aber die einfachste Variante ist, ein ganz Standardmä&szligen
   Text Editor zu benutzen.

Dabei ist es wichtig, darauf zu achten, in was für einem Dateityp man den HTML
   Dokument speichert.

   </!-->

Wie ist HTML aufgebaut?

Ganz am Anfang eines HTML Dokumenten müssen wir erstmals dem Browser
   sagen, was er überhaupt bearbeiten muss. Im Fall eines HTML Dokumenten,
   machen wir das mit der Deklaration < !doctype html>

   Das Eigentliche Dokument steht zwischen den html tags. In den html
   tags stehen dann die head und body tags. In den head tags finden wir noch meta tags
   und den Titel der Seite. Auch Schlüsselwörter womit Suchmaschinen auf die
   Seite kommen sollen werden in den head tags geschrieben. Nichts was in den head tags
   geschrieben wird sieht man auf der Website.

html tags - umschließen den kompletten Inhalt

head tags - braucht man um Metainformation zu erhalten.

body tags - der Inhalt (und alle weiteren HTML-Befehle, die den Inhalt strukturieren)

Im Großen und Ganzen ist das alles, was man braucht, um eine einfache Webseite zu konstruieren
