It is a well-known fact that the scientists from Slavic countries are responsible for a great number of inventions. Thus, it is impossible to list them all, so we picked those you might not have heard about. Everyone knows about Nikola Tesla and his alternating current, but did you know that a sugar cube originally comes from the Czech Republic? Let's take a look at some of the less popular inventions from Slavic countries.
A sugar cube is a simple invention widely used all over the world. But not many people know that it was first developed by Jakob Christof Rad, a director of a sugar factory in the Czech Republic.
A hive frame is a core part of a beehive, responsible for holding the honeycomb within the hive. It was invented by Petro Prokopovych, a Ukranian biologist who was also the founder of the commercial beekeeping.
The radiator is a type of a heat exchanger used for the purpose of cooling and heating. It is mostly used in cars and buildings. The first radiator was developed by a Russian businessman and inventor Franz San Galli in 1855.
Hair clippers are a tool commonly used to cut hair and beard. The first manual hair clippers were invented by a Serbian barber Nikola Bizumić. As a matter of fact, he went all the way to London to get resources for his invention.
Although the idea of contact lenses was first introduced by the great Leonardo Da Vinci, Czech chemists Otto Wichterle and Drahoslav Lím are responsible for the development of soft contact lenses that provided significantly more comfort than the previous versions.
Esperanto is a popular artificial language constructed by a Polish ophthalmologist Ludwik Zamenhof. His goal was to create an international language that is easy to learn. However, the idea wasn't as successful as he planned, since only 10 million people worldwide know the language today.
Slavoljub Penkala was a famous Croatian innovator, mostly known for his invention of the mechanical pencil. But what really made him extraordinary is that he is credited with a total of 80 different patents. One that stands out the most is the modern hot water bottle, produced with PVC or natural rubber.
Although materials similar to plastic date all the way back to the 1600 BC, a Serbian inventor Ognjeslav Kostović Stepanović is credited for creating first real plastic in the early 20th century. At the time his creation was called 'arbonite'.
Sailor cap is a type of hat worn by sailors in many parts of the world. It was first introduced by Russian Navy in 1811, and it has been a crucial part of the official uniform since then. It was designed for practical reasons, to withstand marine conditions, but it developed into a globally accepted symbol of sailors.
In mid 19th century, a Slovak inventor Joseph Petzval produced a design for an improved photographic objective that would decrease the required exposure time from 30 minutes to less than a minute. A few years later his design started being produced, and the quick snapshots of people and nature were finally available to photographers.
The Holographic method was developed by a Hungarian physicist Dennis Gabor. However, the method wasn't put into real practice until 1962, when a Russian inventor Yuri Denisyuk developed the first optical holograms that pictured 3D objects.
Croatian bishop Faust Vrancic wrote a book Machinae Novenae in 1616, where he included about fifty drawings of various machines. One of them was a developed version of the Leonardo Da Vinci's simplistic version of the parachute. According to a legend, he tested his invention by jumping from a church in Venice.
The reason powdered milk was created is that it can be preserved much longer than the regular milk. In 1802, a Russian doctor Osip Krichevsky invented the first contemporary manufacturing process for powdered milk. Thirty years later another Russian scientist, M. Dirchof started organizing its commercialized production.

The New Age Script and Screenwriting with Virtual Pitch Fest
Traditionally, script and screenwriting has been an arduous process just because of the fact that in order to get accepted to any studio or publisher, your work must first be noticed then approved. Both occurrences would mean the stars aligning just in your favor. But with the rise of web 2.0 and cloud-based crowd platforms, the landscape for writers seems to be changing.
According to Coverage Ink on Virtual Pitch Fest, a new service called Virtual Pitch Fest allows writers to pair up with pros and have their work reviewed and potentially promoted through a process where it will actually be published or converted into screen time. The process works like this:
A writer can join this platform and submit their work for review, and can even target prospective professionals who have agreed to be reviewers in the platform. Going through this process allows the writer's work to be directly reviewed by someone in the industry and would be part of companies looking for the new talent that generally becomes elusive unless they reside within Hollywood itself. This strategy allows screenwriters to promote their work from any location, and avoid the traditional move to Hollywood along with its high costs and less-than-lavish lifestyle for a budding writer.
VPF has been picking up steam, accumulating reviews, and is even getting recognized as its own Virtual Pitch Fest profile in Glassdoor, which signals validity with a company as its making waves and becoming more well-known. It's becoming the talk of the town for screenwriters, with those asking if it's worth being part of the process, such as in this blog, where a user asks if VPF maintains its value and is responded with an actual user that claims they have a 30% acceptance rating.
Platforms like this are starting to take shape in many different industries, and now we're finally seeing it in the screenwriter corner. Have you tried VPF or similar services? Let us know.
Check out this video on VPF below:

SBP Approves Merger of NBP Leasing Co. with National Bank of Pakistan
Posted 2 years ago by Abdul Rahman
National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has planned to shift operations of its subsidiary under the control of its management for consolidation of its overall operations and containing losses of the services business.
According to the official notification, the central bank has approved a scheme of amalgamation between National Bank of Pakistan and NBP Leasing Company.
State Bank of Pakistan, under Section 48 of the Banking Companies Ordinance (BCO), 1962, had also announced the effective date of the Scheme as close of business on July 31, 2017.
It directed that NBP and NLL shall ensure that it complies with all the requirements laid down in the Sanction Order as well as with all the relevant legal and regulatory requirements, failing which NBP /NLL will become liable to action under the relevant provisions of the BCO, 1962.
NBP Leasing Limited (NLL) formerly NBP Capital Limited a wholly owned National Bank of Pakistan subsidiary, is incorporated as a public limited company. Originally the Company was registered with the name of National Discounting Services Limited in November 1995 and commenced operations in March 1996.
NBP Leasing Limited (NLL) is an active financial institution with a primary focus on leasing operations to support the domestic industrial and commercial sector. The Company has a wide range of financial products and services to offer its corporate and individual clients.
NLL is based in Karachi and its customer base is geographically spread across the country in different sectors like textile, food, engineering, construction, technology, service, health and etc,.
The management of NBP is aggressively focusing on the consolidation of its business and operations to contain losses while creating revenue streams on a sustainable basis. Hence, it is looking for the strengthening of the operations of its subsidiary under merger within its system for effective management and operations.
The businesses of leasing companies are not growing in the country with the increasing penetration of banking and Islamic banking sector.
It has been witnessed in the past that banks such as Standard Chartered Bank had sold out its subsidiaries including Modaraba and Leasing company to focus on the core business of the bank.
This will remove the liability of the banks and will likely generate sustainable earnings for a growing balance sheet.

Q: plugin - feature - update site I have several plugins and would like to create a nice update site to provide them. Some of them only contain core functionality (would not do anything, let's call them core-plugin) and others provide some functionality to the end user (they are dependent on the core plugins, let's call them useme-plugin).
now, I've created features for every useme-plugin. I included the corresponding plugin and set all dependencies (core-plugins).
these features, I've added to an update site.
When I try to install them now, I get complains that core-plugins are missing:
    Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Useme-plugin 1.1.0.201108090928 (de.xxx.feature.feature.group 1.1.0.201108090928)
  Missing requirement: Useme-plugin 1.1.0.201108090928 (de.xxx.feature.feature.group 1.1.0.201108090928) requires 'de.xxx.coreplugin 1.1.0' but it could not be found

Did I do anything wrong? I don't want to include the core-plugins into every useme-feature... Or do I have to do that? Can anybody help me to structure it correctly?

A: Features are ment to group related plug-ins that should be installed as a single unit on a target system. Thus you normally have a number of features for a non-trivial application:

*

*the main feature with the base functionality of the application

*a number of features for optional add-in functionality

*a number of features with core functionality

*a number of features with major collections of 3rd party plug-ins

Two or more features can include the same plug-in - the plug-in will still only exist in one instance on the target system. In special cases, several different versions of the same plug-in can even exist on the target system. In other cases where different features depends on different versions of the same plug-in, you have a conflict that must be resolved by the developer.
A feature can also include or depend other features, in which case, the depended-on features must be installed as well on the target system. Thus the main application feature depends on the needed core and 3rd party features and likewise for 3rd party features. The installation of the depended-on features usually happens automatically with p2. p2 is smart enough to only downloaded needed plug-ins when installing or updating...
At run-time, it does not matter how a specific plug-in ended up on the target system, which gives a number of options in your case.
When dividing plug-ins into features, you must primary consider the wanted applications on the target system and the wanted add-ins. It only gets really difficult when you have multiple applications or add-in that each use a sub-set of the core plug-ins or 3rd plug-ins.
You have not written whether you have a single application or a number of applications, so I assume you have a single application - it is rather easy to extend the idea to multiple applications that share a common set of plug-ins.
You can solve this problem in several different ways. The absolutely most simple solution is to make a single application feature and include the UI, core and 3rd party plug-ins in this - more or less as you suggest. This works fine if you just have a single product and don't expect to use the core plug-ins in other setups.
Often you divide your features to have core and UI features. Most often because the UI functionality is divided into different features to allow the end-user only to install the needed functionality.
So in you case, you can also have two features: the core feature and the application feature, which then depends on the core feature.
Or you can have

*

*the core feature

*a UI functionality feature - that depends on the core feature

*an RCP feature (from Eclipse)

*and main application feature that depends on all the other features

There are plenty of ways to do this...

As Lance Armstrong enters the final week of the Tour de France bicycling competition, he continues to promote his "Cycle of Hope" cancer awareness campaign. The 29-year old Armstrong, who is currently defending his two Tour de France champion titles, is also a survivor of advanced testicular cancer. As spokesperson for "Cycle of Hope," Armstrong encourages everyone to "know your cancer risks and get screened." Specifically, the goals of "Cycle of Hope" are to encourage early cancer detection, reduce fear associated with cancer, and encourage a team approach to cancer treatment.
Herceptin (generic name, trastuzumab) is a new drug used to treat some women with advanced breast cancer whose cancer has spread to other areas of the body. Clinical trials are also investigating whether Herceptin is helpful for women with early-stage breast cancers. This article discusses how Herceptin works, candidates for the drug, and what "HER2 testing" is and why it is important for many breast cancer patients.
A computer-aided detection (CAD) system called the RapidScreen RS-2000 has recently received premarket approval by the U.S. FDA to help screen for lung cancer. CAD, which is already approved for use with mammography, helps physicians spot cancer and other abnormalities by marking them on digitized films (on mammograms for breast cancer, on chest x-rays for lung cancer). After the radiologist makes his or her initial interpretation of the patient's films, the CAD technology can be used to determine whether any potentially suspicious areas need further study. Studies have shown that when used with mammography, CAD can increase breast cancer detection.
On July 13, 2001 Illinois Governor George Ryan signed a new law that require employers to make it easier for nursing mothers to pump or manually express breast milk during the workday. Under the "Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act," mothers are entitled to take reasonable unpaid breaks to express milk in a nearby room which provides adequate privacy. Some businesses have the option of disregarding the law if it greatly interferes with their operations.
"I will be having delayed reconstruction in a month. After getting 3 different recommendations (2 for implant, 1 for latismus dorsi) I have (I think) decided to go with an implant. This has been a very difficult decision for me. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had implants. Have you been satisfied with your decision, did you have a lift on the other side, have you had any complications, etc. ? Thanks!"

Last Images from 2002 Premiere Issue: Sam, and Sam and Frodo portrait....
Do you have a link to it? I know it's common; it was even featured at the New Line official site. Where can I have saved it? Whaaaaah!
It says "Forbidden" -- what the.....?
That's it! That's it! That's it!
I just LOVE that picture!
Thank you, so much, Mews!!!!!
Heavens, he looks plastered in that one. They both do. Thanks for posting that pinchable picture, Mews!

Who can look that beautiful in a spider's web but Elijah? *sighs*
Mwah, I just adore Elijah and Sean when they're both goofing around on the set. Especially adorable when they're in their Frodo and Sam gear!
*smooches them both*
Ah, they're just ADORABLE, that's all. Didn't Liv Tyler say the same thing essentially. "The hobbits? Oh, they're so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute," I believe were the words she used.
They sure do. Just exhausted. But still good-natured about being made to pose for yet another picture.
I often wondered how he managed to take a bathroom break in that. I guess he couldn't, poor fellow! (Said by someone who always has to make the most stops during road trips.)

Q: My mod_rewrite rules aren't rewriting as expected Couldn't find an answer for this on S.O. (Sorry if duplicate)
[localhost]/MySites/.htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) compiler.php?id=$1

Request for //localhost/MySites/Example.com/ works on my browser.
Request for //localhost/MySites/Example.com (no trailing slash '/') redirects (address bar actually changes) to //localhost/MySites/Example.com/?id=Example.com with a trailing /?id=Example.com.
Why is it doing that? Defeats the purpose of "pretty URLs".

A: You can use:
DirectorySlash Off
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /MySites/

# add a trailing slash for directories

Your home's water heater is one of the most reliable appliances in your home. Typically, such a system runs quietly and is rather dependable. In fact, a well-maintained, efficient water heater can last for a decade or more. Of course, that lifespan is reliant on a proper maintenance schedule. If you forego water heater maintenance and prompt repairs, you're looking at a much shorter lifespan. It's best to schedule maintenance services from a professional plumber. You'll find your water heater is more efficient and operates at peak performance year-round!
A brand-new water heater, even one professionally installed, is pre-set to a temperature of 140-degrees Fahrenheit. However, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the recommended temperature for such a system is around 120-degree Fahrenheit. For most households, this simple temperature reduction can lead to significantly reduced energy costs. In fact, you may find yourself saving as much as $400 per year. Furthermore, a lower temperature means less chance of scalding yourself or your children in the shower or bath.
Shut off the power to your water heater by switching the corresponding breaker in the breaker box.
Remove the thermostat access panel and adjust the temperature (often requiring a flathead screwdriver) to the recommended 120-degrees Fahrenheit.
Replace the thermostat cover and turn the power back on.
These steps are for an electric water heater. Some electric models have two thermostats (upper and lower). Simply set the lower thermostat to the same temperature as the upper thermostat for the results you seek.
You've now set your water heater to the proper temperature for increased savings and lifespan. Now, here are a few more maintenance tips to run your system at optimal performance.
Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding how and when to perform water heater maintenance.
Pay attention to your home's hot water. If you notice a drop in water pressure or availability of hot water, or perhaps even unusual sounds, then your water heater may be having some troubles.
Understand your water heater and its primary components. You may need to adjust the water temperature (see above), shut off the power, or close the water shutoff valve at some point. Knowing your system will make such tasks easier.
Regarding safety, wear appropriate gloves and goggles when working around your water heater.
Draining the water heater tank on occasion helps reduce sediment, minerals, and debris known to corrode or ruin your tank. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for draining a tank. Typically, professional plumbers recommend once or twice per year.

The flights are plastic accessories to be inserted across the belt. They are used to push the product in ascent, descent or accompaniment applications, avoiding that it slips along the belt.
Its non-stick side has ribs that project over the surface to prevent the product from sticking.
It is possible to cut down the standard height for special applications.
Both faces of the flight are no cling and the spacing between the ribs has been reduced to make easier the product release.
The side guards are plastic accessories to be inserted into the belt structure to retain the product laterally, avoiding overflows and frictions with the conveyor structure itself.

In a recent blog post, Google announced its plans to require all Android apps available through the Google Play store to support 64-bit. The change will take effect in August 2019, at which point mobile development pros can continue to offer 32-bit apps, but only if they also have 64-bit versions available.
"For apps that use native libraries, 64-bit code typically offers significantly better performance, with additional registers and new instructions," Google said.
Currently, about 40 percent of Android apps support 64-bit.

I'd gone early to the coffee shop for a change of scenery to do some work. I sat at the little table in the corner, the one I always take if it's available, owing to the plug socket hidden behind the bench.
Not long after I'd sat down and the waiter had brought my coffee over, an elderly gentleman came to take the table next to me. I did what I almost always do. I lifted my eyes and directed my energy toward him. That sounds a little odd now I write it. I suppose what I mean is that I tried to make myself available to a connection. A morning smile. A hello. Just something to acknowledge one another's presence.
But the man didn't notice. Perhaps my efforts were too subtle. Or perhaps he wasn't in the mood for engaging. The waiter brought the man's coffee and I made an attempt to return to work. My eyes were on my notebook buy my head and heart remained with the man at the table, wondering how I might bring us together and why that felt so important this morning.
I looked around the room and saw a sea of people at their computers or phones. It's wonderful, this digital age we live in. So many opportunities. And yet I do sometimes take a moment and look at scenes like this and note how much we pass one another by each day.
I keep glancing over at the man. If he's noticed, he must think I'm crazy. Many times I'll just strike up conversation, but I feel shy about it today. But then the perfect idea comes and I lean over and say, "Excuse me?". He doesn't hear, even though I'm right next to him so I take the next step and gently place my hand on his arm and say, "Excuse me?" again.
He turns and smiles and I say, "Would you mind watching my things whilst I go to the bathroom?". And he smiles again and says yes and off I go to the bathroom. And when I return he says, "Ça va? as they say" and it takes me a second to realise he's speaking to me in French, which only makes me love him all the more. I thank him, feeling that warm feeling in my heart.
Our deepest joy will always come through relationship and connection to others. Because those 'others' are just another part of us. That's why disconnection is like starvation for the soul. It's like being shut off from 99.9% of who you are.
The problems of the world can look so dauntingly big. So impossible, sometimes. And we think the solutions are big and complex, too, and that they're beyond us to help solve. But I don't think they're big or complex. I think they're achingly simple. And I think one of those achingly simple things is to take any opportunity we can not to pass one another by.
What opportunities can you find today?


This us a fantastic small hotel just off the main road through Franshhoek. The rooms are individually furnished and extremely comfortable. All the staff were attentive and were able to give us some great info on the local area. Great breakfast and a lovely patio/pool area.
Great host and beautiful location....Just need to cut the berry-filled limbs from our room's adjacent trees so others will not be kept awake by falliing fruit noises on the roof..
The best B&B we have stayed in at Franschhoek. Very peaceful, convenient for the restaurants & High Street & with a charming hostess. The room was a little on the small size but the bathroom was spacious. The pool was a bit cloudy so we didn't venture into it. Breakfast was plentiful but I would have liked the food on the sideboard covered.
Lovely hotel and really great team. Very attentive. Lovely room and great pool area. Very relaxing. Peaceful. Great location. Cannot day one negative about the stay other than it wasn't long enough.
The photos do not do justice for this amazing property. Quaint, clean and friendly. Very convenient for parking and to the main street for shopping, sightseeing and restaurants. The rooms are very quiet and spacious. Our room was located in the front and had large windows and tall ceilings. Lovely added touches were the fresh roses in the room and a jar of fresh rusks. Beautiful and simple décor. A curtain in the bathroom is recommended as ours looked onto the street and passersby can see in through the large window. An extension cord for the hair dryer would be helpful to avoid sitting on the floor to dry hair...The pool was full of leaves/dirt and not overly inviting, so we didn't go in. The ambience and views of the mountains peeking out around the courtyard were delightful. Breakfast was delicious. Wifi worked well and staff were inviting and friendly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Youth to Highlight
Here is a look at what youth are working on in Kansas City. We want to take some time to share some of the amazing youth we have learned about in the last year!
Check out more youth on our Youtube Page.
THE EYE OF AN IMMIGRANT
FOUNDED BY KOMALPREET AND JASNEET KAUR
Our Mission: The movement is dedicated to advocating for immigration reform and the rights of immigrants within the United States. The crushing effect of America's broken immigration system is shadowed upon families each day. The United States has been a nation built on the works of immigrants and with this student-led campaign, we built powerful voices to speak out about the injustice immigrants face. Immigrants continuously bring success and fortune to our country to help it flourish and yet, many are kept in legal custody despite their connections, deep roots, and contributions to our country. Immigration reform will recognize the role immigrants play in our country.
Reform will bring immigrants into our society so they can live their American stories. They are more than workers and a source of economic prosperity. Immigrants are our neighbors, friends, classmates, and members of our society and nation.

The goal of GirlsLeadKC is to ultimately help bridge the gap between female representation in government and politics, but we do this by starting with teen girls. They want to inspire teenage girls and give them the tools they need to pursue a career in politics, like leadership, confidence, public speaking, and making connections.
They successfully carried out our first workshop in August 2021 with over 35 attendees! In this workshop the young women learned about and did activities relating to our four core values, including engaging with a speaker panel of local female government officials as well as a Q&A with them.
They are currently planning another workshop in March 2022 with Lincoln Preparatory Academy, and are so excited for what comes next!

Although eggs are typically eaten at breakfast time, this protein and veggie-rich frittata is hearty enough to sit in as a lunch or dinner. Serve with whole grain toast or an English muffin and you've got a balanced, nutrient-rich, satisfying meal.
In a small cast iron or other oven-safe skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté onions, mushroom, tomatoes, and broccoli using olive oil cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs, egg whites, and water until blended.
Pour egg mixture over vegetables in pan, turn heat down to medium, and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the top with ¼ cup grated cheese (about 1 ounce).
Transfer the pan to the oven and broil on high until cheese is browned and eggs are set (about 5 minutes).

Q: Lightbox2 Not Working; "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or Unexpected Token" I am attempting to use Lokesh Dhakar's Lightbox2 on my art portfolio site. I have downloaded the files, followed all instructions, and used the lightbox-plus-jquery.js file (since I know next to nothing about Jquery).
When I click the link to the image, it only opens the image up on a new page with a dark background.
I use Chrome, so I had it inspect the page, and it found a "Unexpected SyntaxError: Invalid or Unexpected Token", referring to "lightbox-plus-jquery.js:1".
I've never seen that error before.
Can someone please help and find out where I went wrong? This is driving me absolutely INSANE.
Site: http://art.juniebug.net/portfolio.html
Thank you!!
UPDATED CODE BELOW: 2/26/17 using CDNs now!:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">

<meta name="Author" content="Janna Correa">

A: Add the jquery plugin first (you must load it first as your plugin will depend on it to work), then add your lightbox plugin.
Like this

And also you should add the scripts just before the  tag or just before the  tag. But in the site you are adding it inside  tag.
WORKING FIDDLE: https://jsfiddle.net/ayan/dzpqucvc/
UPDATE: For the list of CDNs, you can find it here.

A: You can try cdn provider for this. Or maybe I think you can try removing all comments in lightbox-plus-jquery.js file :))

A: I checked your code and it's clear that you haven't added jQuery link to your source code. Do it by either downloading and linking to it using

So your JS code will look like this:

Note: The jQuery MUST be loaded before the LightboxJS.
Cheers :-)

TODAY we're continuing our look at b-side, a contemporary arts festival being held on Portland.
This stand-out sight at Portland Marina is sure to intrigue festival goers.
Portland Erratics, by Alex Hartley, is made up of a selection of migratory stones which have arrived on Portland.
Some of these rocks arrived naturally, such as the kelp holdfasts – brought to the island attached to seaweed.
Others, including the ballast from a wreck and geologists' tracer pebbles, have been brought to the island by human activity.
Alex will be presenting the stones in two sculptural vitrines created from re-cycled glass.
Portland Erratics can be viewed daily from 10am to 6pm until September 14.
Australian artist Michael Goldberg has travelled all the way from Sydney to take part in b-side.
He has created a roving, mobile stone carving studio that will be touring Portland daily.
Ticket of Leave represents a reverse journey to that which Michael has made.
It echoes the passage of a number of convicts in the 1800s who, after labouring in Portland's quarries, were transported to the Antipodes and granted good behaviour 'tickets of leave' that assured their freedom if they became responsible members of Aus-tralian society.
People will be able to find, if they look carefully, mysterious sandstone 'postcards' brought by Michael from Sydney and secreted in a number of spots around Portland. One is pictured below.
Each of these postcards will be inscribed with the geographic coordinates of a site in Sydney, Australia, whose colonial history resonates with the location in Portland that Michael will visit.
Festival goers can use their smartphones and Google maps to find these Sydney sites.
A QR code set into the sandstone when scanned will also take viewers to a website with further details about each place in Sydney. In a reciprocal gesture during the festival, Michael will carve a second series of postcards out of Portland limestone particular to the historic places he visits as he travels around the island in his motorhome.
See b-side. org.uk to see which sites Michael will be at on which particular days.
Finally, hear the weather play music at art installation Variable 4 at Portland Bill during the festival.
Outdoor landscape sound work Variable 4 by artists Daniel Jones and James Bulley translates weather conditions into musical patterns in real time.
Windswept Portland is sure to add its own unique sound to the artwork, which will ring out across the sea and over the island's quarries.
There will be a special night time listening event at Variable 4 on September 13 from 8pm to 10pm. See b-side.org.uk for information on all of b-side's artworks and where you can see them.

Q: Mongoose won't increment number field I am using MongoDB and Mongoose. I currently have a like button, and when I click it I would like to increment the 'likes' field in my document. Currently my document has the following schema:
brote {
  name:
  content:
  created:
  likes:
}

and I have tested that the ID in my query matches that of the object in my database.
I consulted How do I increment a Number value in Mongoose? and Incrementing a value with mongoose? but these solutions did not seem to make any changes to my database. Perhaps there is something blatantly obvious that I am missing?
Index.js
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/bromies', { useUnifiedTopology: true, useNewUrlParser: true });
mongoose.set('useFindAndModify', false);
var Brote = mongoose.model('Brote', broteFormSchema);

app.post('/likes', (req, res) => {
    let query = { id: req.body._id};
    Brote.findOneAndUpdate(query, {$inc: { 'likes': 1 }});

  })

A: It seems the findOneAndUpdate method does not work without a callback. Try passing a callback like this:
    let query = { _id: req.body._id}; // It is _id, not id
    Brote.findOneAndUpdate(
        query,
        {$inc:{ likes: 1}},
        (err, brote) => {    // callback
            console.log(brote);
        }
    )

Edit:
The reason it won't work is because it returns a Query if callback is not passed to it. You can call .exec() on the returned Query to execute it.
From the docs of findOneAndUpdate():

Finds a matching document, updates it according to the update arg, passing any options, and returns the found document (if any) to the callback. The query executes if callback is passed.

In our expansion into more robust ecommerce, we started off by integrating Ecwid into our existing Muse site. And they continue to be our recommendation for an unbeatable, friendly, intuitive online store solution. But they were missing the one thing we really, really wanted: a subscription membership option.
It was for that reason... and pretty much for that reason alone... that we migrated over to Shopify. We're delighted to be here, don't take it the wrong way, but we loved how well Ecwid's product translated into Muse.
Once we got into Shopify, we still wanted to maintain ties with a true website designed completely in Muse. Turns out we had to, actually, because we wanted to be able to demonstrate our widgets "in action." The only way to do that would be from a Muse website, hence you'll find all of the "Preview Live" links from each product page point to external pages designed entirely in Muse.
And so we put together some workflow-enhancing widgets to help streamline the process, and boy, did it ever. After exporting a list of our products, we were able to quickly plug the product "handles" into our widget. The process flew by like... well, like anything that flies really fast.
We're pretty confident that the basic foundation of musesupplyco.com is ready for us to start stocking the shelves with inventory. With that in mind, we went back to the original Muse "Shopify" widgets we created for ourselves. We cleaned up the code and even added a few enhancements to make them super friendly to use, and now we are pleased to make them available to the public.
If you are an All Access Member, you'll see the widget toolkit added to your Downloads link as part of your annual membership.
If you are not a member... why aren't you? Still, you can purchase them from the Shopify Widgets product page.
We hope you'll agree that the time saved using our widgets is worth he investment. Especially if you have more than ten products to add to a site.
If you'd like help setting up your Muse site for strong ecommerce, send us an email. We'd be happy to share how we assembled ours.

The Wisdom Behind Wal-Mart's $300 Million Social Media Investment
When Wal-Mart dropped some $300 million on Monday (April 18) buying a Silicon Valley social media startup, the very act showed an appreciation for social media that few retailers have demonstrated. But what the world's largest retailer does with that investment over the next 6 to 12 months will reveal whether Bentonville has truly figured out social media or just sees it as fashionable fad to dump cash into.
Retailers can deal with social media in three ways. The first choice is that they can create their own area where they try and attract shoppers and say tons of great stuff about themselves. Let's call that the Commercial approach. Second, they can get lots of people to visit big, established social sites (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.), where they can casually say lots of nice stuff about the retailer. This would be the Viral approach.
The third way is to shut-up and studiously watch what everyone is saying, from every corner of social media. That's the Winning approach—and it's what Wal-Mart seems to be doing with its acquisition—because the first chain that masters hearing what those folk are all saying will have the keys to the most profitable merchandising and marketing decisions ever.
The level of investment—$300+ million—is significant. For the record, Wal-Mart did not announce how much it paid for its research prey (Hey! The name is Kosmix, OK?). That "more than $300 million" pricetag was determined by one of The Wall Street Journal's most reliable determiners of such stats (Kara Swisher), and we've historically always found her figures to hold up. Even for Wal-Mart, anything costing more than $300 million is a very serious decision.
Kosmix brings with it its three sites: TweetBeat, which the company called a "real-time social media filter for live events"; Kosmix.com, which indexes content by topics; and RightHealth, a health/medical site. But mostly it brings an approach to trying to listen to social discussions.
In a blog post on the Kosmix site by founders Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman, they tried to put their social view into context. "Quite a few of us at Kosmix have backgrounds in E-Commerce, having worked at companies such as Amazon.com and eBay. As we worked on the Social Genome platform, it became apparent to us that this platform could transform E-Commerce by providing an unprecedented level of understanding about customers and products, going well beyond purchase data," they wrote. "The Social Genome enables us to take search, personalization and recommendations to the next level."
One of the interesting aspects of social that few retailers have internalized yet is its huge influence on E-Commerce, M-Commerce and, absolutely, in-store. This is something that many analyst firms miss, because if something can't be quantified by direct purchases or by direct purchase referrals, then it clearly couldn't possibly exist.
In reality, it's the absence of that direct-purchase capability that is what makes social such a powerful influencer of purchases.In reality, it's the absence of that direct-purchase capability that is what makes social such a powerful influencer of purchases. Visit any random sampling of discussions within Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, and you'll find heated exchanges about apparel, cars, electronics, music, movies and even jewelry. The more intensive the social media participant (think teens through mid-20s), the more likely those topics will dominate the discussions.
They aren't talking about those things in the abstract. The conversations are focused on specific brands, models and configurations. Within 72 hours, those electronic exchanges will materialize into very specific purchases at the major chains. They won't most likely link directly to their iTunes account to purchase the talked-about song or immediately buy the device on Amazon, but those recommendations have a huge impact on purchases.
Why would I say that it's the absence of a direct-purchase function that makes those recommendations so powerful? If someone talking about how great a particular singer's new concert is—or how great a particular outfit looked—suddenly flashed up a pop-up that said, "Agree that this a great account? Type in your credit-card number and you'll be wearing it tomorrow night," the conversation would die and, with it, any influence that that recommendation held. Thank your POS stars that most social sites can not tender purchases right there.
But those conversations about products often barely mention the retailers where it can be purchased. Oh, it is indeed mentioned, but as an afterthought. Why is it so critical to know? You want to know when you're being suggested and when you're not. This way, you can market to the social influencers more effectively.
The next stage, by the way, is theoretically much harder. Then again, depending on how Kosmix handles its databases, it might be relatively easy. That next step is going from the general to the specific. In retail terms, that means advancing from understanding the trends from the aggregated conversations of a billion global shoppers and being able to zero down to the specific voice of identifiable consumers. And then marrying those specific comments to an existing CRM file. Or to perhaps create an anticipatory CRM file, awaiting the day when that person walks into one of your sites or stores and is identified.
Suddenly, you have the ability to have an understanding of customers that is many orders of magnitude more sophisticated than today. This much Wal-Mart has figured out: The chain that masters social and mobile will own retailing for the next five years.
This is where things get dicey. Wal-Mart's pocketbook can absolutely buy the company called Kosmix. And it can lock up a handful of execs with employment contracts, or at least it can try. But the bulk of the brain of Kosmix—its unusually talented rank-and-file—can't be purchased. If they find the day-to-day realities of being a Wal-Mart employee distasteful, they're gone.
If the Wal-Mart team doesn't let these people function as they are used to, well, it's a good thing the acquisition brought them so many social search engine tools. If they blink, they'll need those tools to find where all of the Kosmix employees have fled.

Q: Windows7 on virtual pc I would like to check out Windows7 and install all of my developer programs on it just to test if everything works fine. In the mean time I want to continue my work on my Vista os. Is it possible, using Virtual PC, to install Windows7 and afterwards replacing my Vista installation with this Virtual PC Windows 7?

A: Take a look at using a bootable VHD. I have one with Windows 7 and use this as my "playground" for testing things like VS2010 Beta 2, Office 2010, etc. The VHD is a single file so it's portable and the performance hit for the virtualization is minimal.
Instead of running a Windows 7 VPC inside Virtual PC inside Vista, you are booting into a Windows 7 VPC - no Vista. works great for multi-booting.  Once you're ready to move to Windows 7 as your primary OS, you can still use it in a VHD.
This link may help out...
http://4sysops.com/archives/how-to-add-a-windows-7-vhd-to-vistas-boot-manager-menu/

A: In theory, yes. Back up the virtual image, then restore it to your hard drive.
In practice you may find issues with drivers, specifically video, as effectively you're moving a Windows image from one "computer" to another.
You'll also need to make sure that the Windows license comes over properly - best to not activate it while it's virtual.
If it were my box I'd probably want to do this to a fresh hard drive, so I can fall back to Vista if all goes wrong. So rather than virtualize, I'd just buy a new hard drive and use that for Windows 7 straight away.

A: Have you considered dual-booting?
Also: Windows 7 was designed to be compatible like Windows Vista, unlike how Vista was sometimes incompatible with XP. You probably shouldn't have any problems with compatibility.

Major Department Store Announces Rules To Prevent Abuse By Santas
Dec. 19, 2012, 7:13 AM
Flickr - Zellaby
One of Britain's leading department stores has been introduced draconian rules for its Father Christmases and how he interacts with children, it was reported today.
Officials at Harrods have reportedly told workers they must keep their palms on show at all times during a child's visit in the wake of the Jimmy Saville scandal.
Other changes introduced by the upmarket store, in Knightsbridge, central London, has installed CCTV in its grotto and ensuring there is an elf there at all times.
Meanwhile, children can only sit on Santa's with the permission of their parents, the Daily Mirror reported.
"It is political correctness gone mad," a source told the newspaper yesterday.
"But following all the press coverage of Jimmy Savile, bosses felt they could take no chances and decided to take out strict preventative measures.
"They couldn't risk nervous parents misconstruing anything."
They added: "Not surprisingly, poor Father Christmas feels incredibly restricted in what he can and cannot say; he wouldn't have these problems in Lapland."
A visit to the grotto at Harrods costs £10. Children are encouraged to share Christmas lists with Santa and are given a gift at the end.
Parents can also buy a photo of the visit for a further £9. A spokesman for Harrods declined to comment yesterday.

Cult hero John Brayford has backed the Blades front-of-shirt sponsor John Holland Sales.
Versatile defender Brayford, 27, who re-joined the Blades in January following a loan spell last season, has purchased a Land Rover Defender from the prestige car dealers based on Meadowhall Road.
Brayford, who is also the proud owner of a 2000 Rover Mini Cooper, said: "I paid the John Holland Sales showroom a visit and I was amazed by the selection of cars on show.
"I'd like to thank Mark, Tony and the rest of the team at John Holland Sales for their exceptional service. I'm delighted with my Land Rover Defender, it's an iconic vehicle and it's sad to see that production of them in the UK will cease this year."
Tony Entwistle, general manager of John Holland Sales, said: "We are extremely proud to be sponsors of United and with many of us being Blades fans, it was a great moment to see John pay a visit to our showroom.
"We're delighted to have helped him find his next car and we wish him and the rest of the team all the very best for the remainder of the season - we'll be cheering them on every step of the way."

Q: Open Session in View Alternate We are in process of developing a web application using stuts2 (mvc layer),spring 3.x (DI ,transaction demarcation,other relevant stuff) and Hibernate 3.x (Persistence).
Like any other web application using such or similar platform one has to take care of case when main logic of the action has been completed, and therefore, the Hibernate Session has already been closed and the database transaction has ended,one common problem we have to take care when exception we get is: LazyInitializationException: Session has been closed .
There are various way to solve this problem and one of the widely accepted solution is
Open Session in View pattern.
As we are using spring so we can easily utilize spring out of the box support for this.
Is there ant other good alternate for this pattern, by asking this i am not looking for a alternate solution but want to do a comparative study what other good and equally efficient approaches are available to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance
Umesh

A: OSIV seems to always cause people issues.  Here's a strategy which has worked well for me:

*

*All Hibernate associations are marked LAZY

*DAO get methods all take a Boolean loadChildren; if yes, initialize the child associations for the get'ed entity

*Depending on whether child associations are needed for the particular request or not, the Controller passes loadChildren as T or F to the service and the DAO layer

*View-layer access has what it needs to traverse associations without worrying about whether they are initialized or not

Tämta kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad i norra delen av Borås kommun. Den tillhör sedan 2010 Fristads församling (tidigare Tämta församling) i Skara stift.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Statsmakten bestämde 1830 att Tämta och Vänga socken inte längre fick underhålla sina medeltidskyrkor utan de skulle bygga en gemensam. I Tämta var man emot detta och lyckades få tillstånd att bygga en egen kyrka. Byggnaden ritades av arkitekten Thor Medelplan  i en stil som är en blandning av empir och nygotik och den färdigställdes 1865 på en ny plats. Därmed kunde medeltidskyrkan rivas. Den formella invigningen kom att dröja till oktober 1875.

Kyrkan är byggd i sten med ett torn och med ett smalare tresidigt kor. Två vapenhus flankerar tornet. Kyrkorummet har tredingstak och slutna bänkar. De tre korfönstren murades igen vid restaureringen 1949 och Einar Forseth utförde målningar med motiv från Golgata i nischerna. Man målade om invändigt och reducerade antalet sittplatser. Sakristian flyttades från sin plats bakom altaret till vapenhuset.

Inventarier
Dopfunt av sandsten tillverkad omkring år 1200 i två delar med höjden 84,5 cm. Cuppan är cylindrisk, skrånande nedåt och med svagt konkav undersida. Upptill och nedtill stliserade repstavar. Foten är rund, uppåt konformad och avslutas med en kraftig repstav. Centralt uttömningshål. Funten härstammar från Tämta gamla kyrka.
En tronande madonnaskulptur från 1200-talet, utförd i ek och 78 cm hög, förvaras i Borås museum.
 Predikstolen i barock är från 1600-talet och har målningar utförda av Detlef Ross.

Klockor
 Storklockan är av en senmedeltida normaltyp utan inskrift och dekor.
 Lillklockan lär ha hängt i den 1885 rivna kyrkan. Dess ålder är oviss.

Orgel
 Kyrkan fick sin orgel, placerad på läktaren i sydväst, 1972. Den är tillverkad av Hammarbergs Orgelbyggeri AB och har åtta (egentligen 7½) stämmor fördelade på manual och pedal. Fasaden har 25 ljudande pipor. Kyrkans första orgel var ett harmonium, som står kvar i kyrkorummet.

I always found this mission pretty easy, Smoke manages to kill every Vagos before the train enters the tunnel near Jefferson. Probably cause of AX racing skillz.
I'll have two number nines, a number nine large, a number six with extra dip, a number seven, two number forty fives (one with cheese), and a large soda.
Say what, Smoke? All you managed to do was eat my damn food up!
all that food... I could sure eat a Fowl Burger right about now!

District cancels trip to Cuba
By Jubenal Aguilar
A group of Dallas County Community College District students and faculty saw their summer plans to visit Cuba in August vanish when the trip was canceled two months prior to the beginning of the journey.
The Cuba Field Studies Program, led by North Lake College, was to be the first trip by any DCCCD college to the island nation, which has been out of the reach of American tourists for decades.
Kate Jenkins, North Lake photography professor and one of the two faculty members leading the trip, said the group responsible for developing the trip wanted students to experience something beyond their regular culture.
Jamileh Stroman and Sheri Van Court, two Brookhaven College English for speakers of other languages professors, visited Cuba Sept. 22-25. They said they went looking for possible arrangements between Cuban universities and Brookhaven.
"I saw a proud nation," Van Court said. "A nation of integrity and pride."
Reminiscing about Cuba, Stroman said: "I fell in love with the country. I want to go back. If I could I'd leave right now."
TROUBLE BEFORE PARADISE
After a series of delays on final confirmation for the trip, students who secured spots in the program received an email from Jenkins on June 8. The district's risk management team was concerned about insurance coverage for the travelers, according to Jenkins' email.
"The biggest issue is that AIG, the District's insurance carrier, still considers Cuba a country under 'compliance,'" Jenkins said in the message.
Because of this, AIG would be unable to make payments to providers in Cuba if something happened to a student or faculty member. Jenkins said coverage expenses incurred would have to be paid in cash up front by the travelers.
Ticiano Alegre, North Lake biology and applied anatomy and physiology professor, said there were other obstacles along the way. Among them were an initial low enrollment. Alegre said extensive paperwork which was filed with the district office in the later stages of planning was another issue.
Alegre said they also needed vendors willing and able to incorporate Cuba into their travel operations.
A Cuban native, Alegre's own travel visa, which was nearing expiration, was also an obstacle.
The lack of cell phone coverage and ATMs and the inability to use U.S. credit and debit cards in Cuba were also concerns raised by faculty, according to an article by North Lake's News-Register.
"Those are inconveniences that carry some weight," Martha Hughes, North Lake's vice president of academic affairs, said.
She added that she thinks it was a combination of these obstacles that stopped the trip.
Hughes said safety and security are the district's priorities when it comes to field studies programs, and that was the main reason for the cancellation.

BROOKHAVEN LANDS IN CUBA
Rocio Yepes, a former Brookhaven student who recently created her own travel agency, has led tour groups to Cuba under the "support the Cuban people" category, one of 12 loose categories under which Americans can legally visit the nation.
"Americans still can't technically visit Cuba for tourism," Yepes said. Her company, Fisheye Journeys, sponsored its first trip July 25-Aug. 1.
Stroman and Van Court said they planned their trip on their own. Van Court said she had a 30-minute interview with American Airlines before they were able to obtain a visa to visit the country. "They asked about who we were and what we were going to do there," Van Court said.
Stroman said they were constantly asked if they were with a group. "It's unusual to go by yourself," she said. "People mostly go in groups."
Despite traveling alone, Stroman and Van Court said they never felt in danger.
Stroman said the locals were always courteous, even over-protective of them.
"We made friends with a cab driver and we became family," Van Court said.
LOST OPPORTUNITIES
Jenkins said about 13 students secured spots in the program. Of those, about half were new students who enrolled in North Lake to be able to go on the trip. Jenkins said anyone going to Cuba needed to be a DCCCD student enrolled in the photography and environmental science courses – seven college credits – that were part of the program.
Madeline Burroughs, a North Lake student, was one of the students affected by the trip cancellation. She said she heard about the trip in late February or early March and became interested in the opportunity to travel to another country.
Burroughs said she had paid the full amount of the trip – $2,900 including in-county tuition – before it was canceled. All students received full refunds on their deposits after the cancellation of the trip.
"I was definitely upset," Burroughs said. "I had that planned for my summer and didn't do a lot of other things that I could have put that money toward," Burroughs said. "I was passed up for a job because the trip was in the middle of my 90-day training period."
Burroughs said her parents traveled to Cuba in 2013. "[My parents] felt no threat to their security the entire time they were there," she said. "My mom went out at night by herself."
Alegre and Jenkins said they had plans for the students in their respective classes. They said that as part of the environmental science class, students were going to visit beaches and a water treatment plant. For photography, students were going to take photo walks and visit local artists to learn about their inspirations.
A HOPEFUL FUTURE
Hughes said there is currently no plan to proceed with another trip to Cuba.
"At this point, there is not a faculty member who is ready to develop the trip," she said.
However, Alegre and Jenkins said talks with Richland College may lead to a future partnership for developing a trip.
"A lot of groundwork has been laid," Jenkins said. "I feel like we did some good stuff. We made a lot of people aware of questions and concerns, and we got our proposal all the way through."
Stroman said: "Right now is the time before major change. This is the time to go."

Joseph M. Jacobson (* 28. Juni 1965 in Newton, Massachusetts) ist ein amerikanischer Physiker, Träger der Wilhelm Exner Medaille und Erfinder des elektronischen Papiers auf Grundlage einer auf Elektrophorese basierenden Technik (bekannt als E Ink), das häufig in elektronischen Geräten wie E-Readern verwendet wird.

Leben
Jacobson studierte Physik an der Brown University und promovierte am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Während seiner Zeit als Postdoktorand an der Stanford University stellte er den Weltrekord für den kürzesten Pulslaser. 1997 gründete er zusammen mit J.D. Albert, Barrett Comiskey, Russ Wilcox und Jerome Rubin das Start-up-Unternehmen E Ink Corporation in Boston.

Jacobson wurde im Jahr 1999 vom Technology Review Magazine aufgrund seiner Arbeit über die Mikrosphären-Technologie zu den 100 einflussreichsten Innovatoren, die unter 35 Jahre alt sind, gezählt. Im Jahr 2000 erhielt der Physiker den Gutenberg-Preis der Stadt Mainz und der Gutenberg-Gesellschaft für die Entwicklung einer neuen Form von Display. Im Jahr 2013 wurde Jacobsen "für seine für seine Entwicklungen und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft" mit der Wilhelm Exner Medaille ausgezeichnet.

Wirken
Jacobson leitet die Media Lab's Molecular Machines research group des Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Er hat mehr als 70 wissenschaftliche Publikationen und Konferenzbeiträge in den Bereichen Femtosekundenlaser, Quantenoptik, molekulare Elektronik, Nanochemie und synthetische DNA verfasst. In der Privatwirtschaft war Jacobson technischer Gründer von E Ink Cooperation Kovio Inc. und von Gen9 und war ein Gründungsmitglied des One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), der Organisation, die auf die Entwicklung eines 100 US $-Laptops für Kinder ausgerichtet ist.

Neben E Ink Inc. entwickelten Jacobson und sein Team eine Reihe von bedruckbarer, elektronisch aktiver Chemie, darunter voll funktionsfähige Halbleiterbauelemente und deren Logik, die durch Drucken hergestellt werden kann.

Des Weiteren ist  Jacobson gelungen, neue Forschungsbereiche, besonders in der synthetischen Biologie zu entwickeln. Hier werden synthetische Gene verwendet, um Mikroorganismen so zu programmieren, dass sie neue Arzneimittel sowie erneuerbare Materialien, Polymere und Kraftstoffe produzieren.
