Growing up in my household in Southern California on the corner of Mt. Vernon & Fairway, Music was an integral part of life, But there was no other time of the year where music was more part of life than during the holidays. The grand piano, organ and harp in the living room provided the instrumental backing to all the vocals. The Holidays were a time of family get-togethers, gift giving , wonder feasts and most memorably, Christmas carols sung in harmony with one another. Songs Like "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Little St. Nick" combined with songs that remind us of the Reason for the Season; celebrating an event that took place in the little town of Bethlehem over 2000 years ago, the birth of Jesus, which for many became a birth of hope , peace, unity & love. As the words of "O Holy Night" say "His Law is love and His gospel is peace, "Jesus taught us to love one another. That message needs to be heard today more than ever before.
So, as we celebrate and enjoy all the wonderful traditions of the holiday season, Lets hold in our hearts the Reason for the Season.

Creating the Alfred Hitchcock Film
Edited by Will Schmenner and Corinne Granof
Alfred Hitchcock is often held up as the prime example of the one-man filmmaker, conceiving and controlling all aspects of his films' development--the archetype of genius over collaboration. An exhibition at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, however, put the lie to Hitchcock-as-auteur, presenting more than seventy-five sketches, designs, watercolors, paintings, and storyboards that, together, examine Hitchcock's very collaborative filmmaking process. The four essays in this collection were written to accompany the exhibition and delve further into Hitchcock's contributions to the collaborative process of art in film.
Scott Curtis considers the four functions of Hitchcock's sketches and storyboards and how they undermine the impression of Hitchcock as a lone artist. Tom Gunning examines the visual vocabulary and cultural weight of Hitchcock's movies. Bill Krohn focuses sharply on the film I Confess, tracking its making over a very cooperative path.
Finally, Jan Olsson draws on the television series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, to show the ways that collaboration contributes to the formation of his well known public persona. Anchored by editor Will Schmenner's introduction, this book represents an important contribution to Hitchcock scholarship and a provocative glimpse at his unsung strength as a collaborative artist.
Will Schmenner is the assistant film curator at the Block Museum
Corinne Granof is Associate Curator at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University. She has organized numerous exhibitions of modern American and European art and has written on a broad range of topics, with a focus on early twentieth-century German art.

You know how to turn a global-warming denier who has little interest in the environmental consequences of burning fossil fuels into a bird lover? Bring up the topic of wind power. Instantly the risks of population declines and extinctions, previously ignored, become important. Every bird is precious!
The shame of this is that it turns the question of how to develop more wind power – which we need to do, but need to do with minimal impact on birds (and bats and even humans) – into just another overheated ideology-underpinned food fight, with little discussion of actual science.
Sandercock said this was a bit of surprise because other studies have shown that oil and gas development does affect prairie chickens.
For their study, the researchers looked at three sites, one of which was developed into the Meridian Way Wind Power Facility, near Concordia, Kansas. This allowed the team "to observe greater prairie chickens before, during and after wind turbine construction," according to the university. In the process, the researchers actually found that newly hatched female survival rates increased after wind turbines were installed. One possible reason: the wind turbines might have kept predators away from nest sites.
The three subspecies of the greater prairie chicken have enjoyed radically different fates. The heath hen became extinct in 1932, Attwater's prairie hen survives only in small portions of southeast Texas and is listed as Endangered in the US, and the greater prairie chicken, though threatened and isolated in much of its range, remains numerous enough to be hunted in four states. Once inhabiting the wide plains of the central US in vast numbers, the bird has fared poorly as its grassland habitat has been converted to other uses.
The full Kansas State study is available online as a PDF.
Scientists find that wind power farms don't harm this at-risk species, a bit of surprise because other studies have shown that oil and gas development does affect prairie chickens.


Finding new friends after joining a new school isn't easy. It's even harder to make sure the ones you find are the right ones. But no one should ever have to deal with rejecting friendships with people who want to see them lynched. Aina Adewunmi, 15, transferred to Palisades Charter High School in Southern California in January and became friends with a group of students before things took a turn.
After being invited to a groupchat, Adewunmi saw some of the members casually using the n-word. She confronted them and thought that would be the end of it, according to the New York Daily News. However, one boy in particular continued his racist antics and Adewunmi had to end their friendship.
"I told him I didn't want to be in his presence anymore and I said, 'I don't want to be associated with you,'" she said.
That's when she came across a photo that was taken of her – without her knowledge – and edited to depict a noose around her neck.
"I was like, 'Oh my god, it's me being lynched,'" she said.
Adewunmi immediately went to the principal and school officials suspended the boys involved for the remainder of the semester. But Aina and her mother both agree that the punishment wasn't severe enough for the crime.
"The kids at Pali need to know there zero tolerance for this. It shouldn't even be a question whether they should be expelled," Aina said.
Her mother, Tracy Adweunmi, called for the boys' expulsion and was disappointed when they only got a slap on the wrist.
"We asked the students to be expelled and the school is not going to expel them — which is saddening because it means they tolerate this behavior," she said.
On the bright side, at least school officials didn't try and deny that this counted as a form of bullying.

Rockhopper stock surges as it welcomes Navitas to Sea Lion cadre
Rockhopper Exploration
-0.48p
North Falkland Basin-focussed oil and gas exploration and production company Rockhopper Exploration announced on Tuesday that itself and Premier Oil Exploration and Production have signed a detailed heads of terms with Navitas Petroleum to farm in for a 30% interest in the Sea Lion project.
Oil & Gas Producers
The AIM-traded firm said that additionally, Rockhopper and Premier had agreed to certain amendments to their existing commercial arrangements.
It said working interests had been aligned across the Sea Lion licences PL032, PL004b and PL004c to see Premier have a share of 40% as operator, with Rockhopper holding 30% and Navitas also holding 30%.
The board said the move would add additional strength to the Sea Lion joint venture, which it believed would increase the likelihood of a successful senior debt project financing for the first phase development.
Rockhopper said its costs for the first phase of development, not met by senior debt, would be met by a combination of carry and loans from Premier and Navitas from 1 January to completion, estimated between nine and 12 months after first oil.
The company also said the deal would see "greater alignment" and "simplified commercial arrangements" across the joint venture, with Rockhopper maintaining its material share of first phase project net present value, a "significant" 30% interest in the second phase of development, and additional upside from the Isobel-Elaine area at PL004a.
It said contingent consideration would be payable to Rockhopper by Premier and Navitas of up to $48m, in relation to future phases of development in the North Falkland Basin.
The finalisation of a sale and purchase agreement was expected during the first quarter of 2020, with completion subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including regulatory approval, expected in the second quarter of 2020.
"This is a very important milestone both for the Sea Lion project as a whole and Rockhopper itself," said chief executive officer Samuel Moody.
"We will be delighted to welcome Navitas to the Sea Lion project and regard their joining as an important catalyst as well as industry endorsement of Sea Lion's scale - independently audited 2C resources of around 520 million barrels - and potential - net present value at a 10% discount at first oil of around $4bn.
"Navitas add valuable offshore experience from their Gulf of Mexico projects and hugely successful prior personal involvement in Israel's offshore sector."
Moody said Navitas would also "materially strengthen and enhance" the prospects for a successful project financing, as demonstrated by its success in funding other similar developments elsewhere in the world and with proven access to capital markets.
"Furthermore, we are obviously very pleased to announce that all of our project costs are being covered from the start of 2020 and in the event of a successful sanction that they will continue to be covered through to phase one project completion, while maintaining a very material 30% stake in the Sea Lion project along with additional upside in the PL004a licence containing the Isobel discovery.
"This transaction will therefore materially strengthen the company financially.
"Discussions are continuing to progress with senior lenders regarding project financing and should be positively supported by the transaction."
Rockhopper's arrangements with Navitas were at a "detailed non-binding heads of terms stage", Moody explained, with the board "looking forward" to working with them to put in place formal binding documentation in coming months.
"In the intervening period, we are pleased that Premier has separately agreed funding arrangements for all of Rockhopper's costs on Sea Lion."
At 1555 GMT, shares in Rockhopper Exploration were up 38.27% at 20.74p.

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

A: From the documentation:

Element.findall() finds only elements with a tag which are direct children of the current element. Element.find() finds the first child with a particular tag, and Element.text accesses the element's text content. Element.get() accesses the element's attributes:

This is why
device_programmer = root.find("device_programmer")

returned None since there is no device_programmer element directly under the root.
You should probably be using XPath syntax:
device_programmer = root.find("//device_programmer")

A: Since device_programmer is not direct child of the root element, you need to add .// at the beginning. The . indicates that the XPath is relative to the context element (the root element in this case), and // is abbreviated syntax for descendant-or-self axis :
device_programmer = root.find(".//device_programmer")

Instead of attributes, file_name and file_path are direct child of device_programmer, so you need to use find('element_name') to get them :
file_name = device_programmer.find('file_name')
print file_name.text
file_path = device_programmer.find('file_path')
print file_path.text

Q: Ember.js date picker Is there any default date picker in Ember JS ? I see there is a date picker in Ember CLI, but I am not sure If I can use it or not.
Any help will be useful in this direction.

A: There's no default datepicker for Ember.js. However addon you are talking about - Ember CLI Datepicker works great. It uses Pikaday which supports following browsers:

Usage of Ember CLI Datepicker is simple, you can use following code for creating datepicker for birthday:
{{date-picker date=model.birthday valueFormat='date' yearRange="-100, 0"}}

Installation is very simple if you use Ember CLI:
ember install:addon ember-cli-datepicker

If you are worried if you can use it with recent stable versions of Ember.js - the answer is yes. It works with latest version which is 1.9.1. You can, of course, use it with Ember Data too.
If you're not using Ember CLI, this answer might be helpful.

Q: How to extract year and month from date in PostgreSQL without using to_char() function? I want to select sql:
SELECT "year-month" from table group by "year-month" AND order by date, where
year-month - format for date "1978-01","1923-12".
select to_char of couse work, but not "right" order:
to_char(timestamp_column, 'YYYY-MM')

A: Use the date_trunc method to truncate off the day (or whatever else you want, e.g., week, year, day, etc..)
Example of grouping sales from orders by month:
select
  SUM(amount) as sales,
  date_trunc('month', created_at) as date
from orders
group by date
order by date DESC;

A: You can truncate all information after the month using date_trunc(text, timestamp):
select date_trunc('month',created_at)::date as date
from orders
order by date DESC;

Example:
Input:
created_at = '2019-12-16 18:28:13'

Output 1:
date_trunc('day',created_at)
// 2019-12-16 00:00:00

Output 2:
date_trunc('day',created_at)::date
// 2019-12-16

Output 3:
date_trunc('month',created_at)::date
// 2019-12-01

Output 4:
date_trunc('year',created_at)::date
// 2019-01-01

A: It is working for "greater than" functions not for less than.
For example:
select date_part('year',txndt)
from "table_name"
where date_part('year',txndt) > '2000' limit 10;

is working fine.
but for
select date_part('year',txndt)
from "table_name"
where date_part('year',txndt) < '2000' limit 10;

I am getting error.

A: to_char(timestamp, 'YYYY-MM')

You say that the order is not "right", but I cannot see why it is wrong (at least until year 10000 comes around).

A: 1st Option
date_trunc('month', timestamp_column)::date

It will maintain the date format with all months starting at day one.
Example:
2016-08-01
2016-09-01
2016-10-01
2016-11-01
2016-12-01
2017-01-01

2nd Option
to_char(timestamp_column, 'YYYY-MM')

This solution proposed by @yairchu worked fine in my case. I really wanted to discard 'day' info.

A: You Can use EXTRACT function pgSQL
EX- date = 1981-05-31
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM date)
it will Give 5

For more details
PGSQL Date-Time

A: date_part(text, timestamp)

e.g.
date_part('month', timestamp '2001-02-16 20:38:40'),
date_part('year', timestamp '2001-02-16 20:38:40')

A special Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) program announced last August to reduce the massive backlog of pending matters by identifying those that could be dismissed or put on hold has resulted in the closure of 2,609 cases, according to government data covering the period up to the end of March. The backlog reduction is less than one percent of the 298,173 cases pending before the Immigration Courts as of the end of last September.
The stated goal of the ICE program was to better prioritize and reduce the backup of pending matters that had led to lengthy delays in the proceedings of noncitizens it wanted to deport. So far, however, the pace of these closures has not been sufficient to stop the growth in the court's backlog. In fact, as of the end of March 2012, the Immigration Court backlog had risen to 305,556 matters.
These and other results — by court and hearing location — are based upon analyses of very recent case-by-case records obtained from the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University. EOIR, a part of the Department of Justice, administers the nation's special administrative court system charged with deciding whether noncitizens can be deported or are legally entitled to remain in this country.
Figure 1. Sample from TRAC's Immigration Court Closures Tool (click to use the tool).
This exact count by TRAC of cases closed through ICE's prosecutorial discretion initiative was determined by using special codes in the court data that TRAC received which tagged those closures made under the new program as of March 28.
The codes also have made it possible to distinguish the type of closures made under this initiative. One out of four (25 percent) — some 650 cases — had been terminated by the Immigration Judge. This meant ICE "agreed" — albeit via an exercise of prosecutorial discretion — that the government did not have valid grounds to deport the individual from this country.
The remaining three-quarters, or 1,959 cases, had been administratively closed by the judge. Administrative closures effectively placed the cases on hold without final resolution, but did allow the individuals to at least temporarily remain in the country. See TRAC's interactive tool.
The formal process for ICE's review of pending cases initially focused on a special six-week pilot carried out in the Baltimore and Denver Courts between December 4, 2011 and January 13, 2012. ICE stated that it would review the results from this pilot on an expedited basis to determine the best methods to implement these processes on an ongoing basis nationwide.
The Court data thus allowed TRAC to examine all recorded closures that had taken place in these two initial cities after an elapsed period of nearly eleven weeks since their pilots ended. ICE for its part has been surprisingly closed-mouthed, and despite the promised expedited review has not released its conclusions from the pilot. As discussed below, the agency also declined to provide TRAC with any further information for this report.
As of the end of March — eleven weeks since this pilot ended — these court data are quite instructive on what is actually happening on the ground under this program. It is, of course, likely that closures will continue to rise given there appear to be cases still awaiting clearance steps by the government and agreement by the affected individuals. However, it should be kept in mind that many individuals in cases that ICE may be willing to place on hold also could have strong legal claims for remaining in this country. Such individuals may ultimately turn down a discretionary closure offer, preferring to have their legal status resolved by the Court right away.
The most striking finding from these new data was that, despite the large-scale effort devoted to this pilot test, the hope it would materially reduce court backlogs in these test cities seems to be flagging. Only a small proportion of pending caseloads in either court has been closed as a result of this initiative thus far. In the Baltimore Immigration Court, a total 230 cases were closed. Compared to the 5,256 cases pending in that court at the end of last September, these 230 closures only represented 4.4 percent of the court's backlog.
At the same time, in order to carry out the test, hearings on many non-detained cases were postponed. The average time pending cases have been waiting actually edged up from 513 at the end of last September to 523 days in March.
There have been even fewer closures in the Denver Immigration Court, where only 186 cases were closed through this initiative as of the end of March, even though the backlog of cases there was larger than in Baltimore. A total of 7,579 cases (excluding detained individuals) had been pending in the Denver court at the end of last September. Thus, the 186 closures represented only 2.5 percent of that court's backlog. And the average time pending cases have been waiting increased from 542 days in September to 599 days at the end of March.
A second surprising finding was that in Baltimore the majority of closures (57.4 percent) were terminations — 132 out of 230. Quite the reverse was true in Denver, where almost every closure — 184 out of 186 — was administrative. The explanation for the differences in the form that the closures took in the two pilot courts remains an open question. But the finding does indicate the importance of monitoring how ICE attorneys and other officials in various parts of the country are applying prosecutorial discretion standards.
There were other intriguing findings. Judged by the proportion of their backlog closed under this initiative, the two pilot courts did not turn out to be the most active courts in the country. Among courts with a significant backlog, the Detroit Immigration Court led the nation with 5.7 percent of its backlog of 2,815 cases closed under ICE's prosecutorial discretion initiative. This was followed by the Portland, Oregon Immigration Court with 4.9 percent of its backlog of 2,151 cases closed as of the end of March.
The Baltimore Immigration Court did have the highest number of closures (230) in the nation. The Los Angeles Immigration Court with 218 prosecutorial discretion closures had the second highest number of closures as of the end of March. The New York City Immigration Court was third with 207 such closures, followed by the Seattle Immigration Court in fourth place with 188. Denver came in only fifth place with 186.
The New York court was also notable because, like Baltimore, a majority of its closures — 115 out of 207 — were dismissed ("terminated") rather than administratively closed.
A total of 59 hearing locations have had at least one closure under this program at the end of March; see TRAC's interactive tool for a complete list of the immigration courts by hearing location. The tool provides prosecutorial discretion closures by type, as well as compared with each court's pending caseload.
TRAC's analysis was based upon the official records of the Immigration Courts. TRAC also contacted ICE's Public Affairs office on April 16 and asked the agency for any figures regarding the number of cases reviewed or closed through the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. TRAC received a curt response on April 18 declining to respond.
In addition, on April 12, TRAC received a letter from the ICE's FOIA Officer, Catrina M. Pavlik-Keenan. In that letter, the agency's top FOIA Officer stated that the agency "cannot reliably identify" cases it has filed or has pending before the Immigration Courts, and thus had decided to withhold all data on its Immigration Court caseload. If truthful, the statement that ICE is unable to keep track of what cases it has filed in the Immigration Courts is an astounding admission, and one suggesting serious managerial problems within the agency.
The Administration first announced a review of all cases pending before and incoming to the Immigration Courts on August 18, 2011, using the factors set out in a June 17, 2011 agency directive on prosecutorial discretion. This initiative encountered political criticism from some quarters as a backdoor amnesty program. Resistance to implementing the program was also reported within the ranks of the agency.
Congressman Robert Aderholt, Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, in his opening statement at hearings March 8, 2012 on ICE's FY 2013 budget request, criticized ICE initiatives "expanding the use of prosecutorial discretion." Following testimony of ICE Director John Morton at these hearings, ICE Congressional Relations office sent an email on March 9 with a "CORRECTION" subject line. That email stated that as of March 5, 2012 1,583 cases had been administratively closed or dismissed as a result of its case-by-case review of 165,471 pending court cases. The "correction" explained the relatively small number of closures by noting that there were a larger number of cases provisionally identified waiting "background checks" and that "many individuals decline an offer of discretion in order to pursue their cases in immigration court." No exact figures were provided on the number of these turn-downs. The correction email also did not specify how long these "background checks" should take, or what office was responsible for carrying them out.
Despite the failure to release its evaluation of the results of its pilots, the agency on March 30, 2012 announced the next phase of its case-by-case review to determine in which ones it will exercise prosecutorial discretion. Supporting this effort EOIR "has agreed to temporarily and partially suspend non-detained dockets in seven additional immigration courts in the upcoming weeks." Impacted are the courts in: "Detroit, New Orleans, Orlando, and Seattle from April 23 until May 4; New York from May 7 until May 18; San Francisco from June 4 until June 15; and Los Angeles from July 9 until July 20." EOIR canceled the hearings for the already scheduled cases on those dates and rescheduled them for later. Because of its backlog, this reportedly resulted in postponing many hearings until 2014.
 Data from the two pilot courts showed that the pace of discretionary closures was steadily declining. As of the end of March, Baltimore closures had declined to between an average of 1 or 2 per workday and were falling. Denver closures, with their larger backlog of cases, averaged 2 per workday and were also falling.
 The email's reported closures differ from official court records by almost 20 percent, suggesting there may be deficiencies in ICE's own monitoring efforts. Court records showed that as of March 5, a total of 1,878 discretionary closures (not 1,583) had occurred.

Between my husband and my kids, our car can get a little out of control with clutter. Okay, so maybe a lot out of control. Typically, you'll find cd's, toys, sunglasses, snack containers, and cups laying all over the floor of our vehicle. I hate the clutter and the mess. Of course, it doesn't bother my husband and since he's the one who drives (I don't drive at all), it doesn't get cleaned as often as it should.
Organizers are heaven sent really.
You can use them to hold drinks, snacks, books, toys, and whatever else for your kids while on road trips and you can also use it just to get all those items off the seats and floors of your car. This organizer is big enough to hold quite a bit and I have to say, I was stoked when I received it to review for you guys.
But my *womp womp with a sad face* moment came when I realized that it wouldn't fit our seats!
We have a 2001 Ford Explorer with bucket seats and no adjustable head rests. I thought I could possibly adjust it enough to to fit around the smallest part of it, but no dice. However, We do have adjustable headrests on the backseats in our vehicle so good news is, they can go back there. That doesn't work out so well when it comes to storing snacks and drinks for the kids as they can't reach back behind them, but it still works out to keep our cd's, package of wipes, and first aid kit off the floor of the vehicle and give us more room for groceries, so huzzah!
The bag is durable ad very well made with side pockets that fit drinks and can be adjusted to keep them snug in there and in no danger of falling out and rolling around all over the floor. The middle section has two large compartments, with the front compartment having two separate sections inside, as well as two mesh pockets in the front. That's a ton of storage!


First and foremost, it is easier to increase spending mid-year than cut it. In two of the past three years, however, decision makers were forced to implement midyear spending cuts and take other actions to end the year in balance. Despite the relatively little attention paid to these steps, everyone can agree they are a lousy way to manage the state's finances. The House debate, and later the Senate, should be guided by the principle that programmatic spending must be sound, supported by adequate revenues, and sustainable. Doing so can avoid making harmful cuts later in the year.
For example, in 2016, a combination of over-budget spending and a tax revenue shortfall of $481 million required cuts to MassHealth, and other programs. The shortfall also forced budget managers to undertake a series of steps to balance the budget, including more than $100 million in reductions to grants to municipalities and the State Police among other items. Additionally, millions of dollars in revenue earmarked for other purposes, such as $60 million designated for the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, was diverted to support general spending. The situation repeated in 2017, with similar steps taken to close the gap, such as shifting $15 million away from the Department of Transportation and nearly $12 million from the Department of Developmental Services, which provides support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The impact of these actions does not end with the fiscal year. Forcing state agencies to make abrupt changes such as leaving important positions unfilled or deferring maintenance make it more difficult to reliably provide the services expected by residents in the future.
Budgeting by crisis management also means that the Commonwealth loses the ability to sock away money in the state's rainy-day fund, as every extra penny goes to closing gaps. As a result, though spending increased by a total of $3 billion over the FY16-FY17 period, the state's stabilization fund grew by just $48 million. While the stabilization fund balance has grown sizably in recent years, a healthier balance will be necessary to withstand the inevitable economic downturn when it arrives, or else Massachusetts will be less prepared, likely requiring more draconian cuts to be made in the future.
Finally, Gov. Charlie Baker offered his fiscal 2020 budget proposal back in January. As highlighted in MTF's recent analysis, his plan relies on a several significant assumptions that may not hold true, such as the passage or implementation of more than $100 million in tax revenue initiatives, advancing certain MassHealth payments to health care providers into the current fiscal year from FY20, and, most fundamentally, the continuation of an economic cycle that in July will be longer than any other since the end of World War II. If any of these assumptions do not hold, after a brief respite in fiscal 2018, fiscal managers will again be forced to implement midyear changes to get back in balance.
The seeds of midyear budget cuts are usually sown during the budget development process. Overly-optimistic assumptions about tax revenue or caseload; routinely underfunding costs incurred by sheriffs' departments, MassHealth, or providing legal aid to the indigent for example; and pursuing policy reforms without clearly articulating the financial costs or identifying the available revenue to support them, as has occurred with criminal justice reform, mean that policymakers set the stage for future fiscal challenges.
As deliberations over the Legislature's budget proposals begin, it would be wise to proceed using conservative revenue estimates and judicious spending assumptions to avoid having to take unnecessary correctional action later in the fiscal year. Not only does it make the job of balancing the state's budget easier, it better positions the Commonwealth for the future.

Q: How to keep xml from converting /r/n into
 I have here a small code:
string attributeValue = "Hello" + Environment.NewLine + " Hello 2";

XElement element = new XElement("test");
XElement subElement = new XElement("subTest");
XAttribute attribute = new XAttribute("key", "Hello");
XAttribute attribute2 = new XAttribute("key2", attributeValue);
subElement.Add(attribute);
subElement.Add(attribute2);
element.Add(subElement);

Console.Write(element.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();

I have an issue, basically the /r/n or the new line is converted in
 in attribute, but I dont want to have it, I want to keep it /r/n as when I use this XML with the Microsoft Word documents template, the new lines are not implemented, although it is multilined text, in word document I only get the spaces. But no new lines :/
Anyone has any idea?
Although i've set the allow multi line int he property of the field in the template.

A: Actually the behaviour you get with
 is the same than the one of Environment.NewLine. You can do a simple test to confirm this (add two TextBoxes to your Form with the Multiline property set to True: textBox1 and textBox2):
textBox1.Text = element.ToString(); //

string text = element.ToString().Replace("
", Environment.NewLine);
textBox2.Text = text; ///r/n

On the other hand, if you want to avoid the
 part anyway (for example: because of wanting to output the given string to an external program not working on .NET), you can just rely on the aforementioned Replace after dealing with XElement and new lines.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Mario Lopez
The tables have turned!
After being interviewed by "Access Hollywood" host Mario Lopez for years, Jennifer Hudson finally got the chance to interview Mario on Monday's episode of her show.
And JHud learned quite a lot about the actor! Here are five things you might not know about Mario Lopez:
He did dancing, wrestling, karate, and theater as a kid
Mario described his childhood self as "a hyper little kid." Because of his hyperactivity, his mom signed him up for every after-school activity she could. "I was the only dancing-wrestling-karate-theater kid in Chula Vista," he said.
His first role was on 'The Golden Girls'
He played the prize student of Bea Arthur's Dorothy who ends up getting deported by the end of the episode. "That was great. Those ladies were so nice," he recalled of the show's four stars.
He shot 'Saved by the Bell' over summer break
Mario was just 15 years old when he started his run as A.C. Slater on the NBC hit "Saved by the Bell." (Yes, he was an actual teenager playing a teenager!) He said that the show shot over the summer to avoid hiring on-set tutors for all the minors in the cast, which meant he got to attend a regular high school during the year.
He's celebrating his 10th wedding anniversary with his wife
He and his wife, Courtney Lopez, just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. The couple met on Broadway performing in the 2008 revival of "A Chorus Line" together.
"I like to say she was playing hard to get, but she says she just wasn't interested," he said jokingly. It took about a month before she fell for his charm, and now 14 years later, they're married with three kids!
Believe it or not, he's turning 50!
Just like Jennifer, we CANNOT believe it! Mario, who was born in 1973, will turn 50 this October.
"I feel good," said Mario about leaning into his age instead of being ashamed of it.
"It's not old, Mario," Jennifer said of turning 50. "And you wear it well!"

Are you working really hard to build your business? Are you always on the look out for new opportunities to get income? Do you constantly follow up on clients and try and persuade them to buy your product/service? I have a newsflash for you…you've been hustling! Yes…you are a hustler!
The other day a friend and I were having a WhatsApp conversation, and we were specifically sending each other voice notes. It was a rainy day here in Cape Town and I was sitting behind my desk working. I assumed she was at her flat where she still lives in Johannesburg. As we were catching up she started venting on how difficult the road of entrepreneurship is.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results," someone once said. We are all familiar with the phrase "Out of the box thinking". According to Wikipedia it is a metaphor that means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.
Oh, the life of a start-up entrepreneur can be extremely challenging. Juggling a myriad of balls, usually with the smallest of resources! A few months ago I had a conversation with a friend, who generously helps me with my business branding and corporate identity. We spoke about the plans I had for the business and I had so many deadlines looming that I started to feel worn out. He reminded me of how big my plate had become.

St. Peter's Basilica is a full-day outing, featuring the Sistine Chapel and panoramic city vistas for those willing to climb to the top of the dome. Other landmarks not to miss include the renowned Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum, and Aventine Hill, which provides you with a grand view of the imposing remains of the Imperial Palaces and the Circus Maximus, of Ben Hur fame.
SORRENTO/CAPRI
Sorrento is surely one of the world's most beautiful towns, built on a coast with breathtaking views and landscapes. Yet it is far from a frivolous vacation destination. The houses, people and the entire region are filled with a history and culture so deep that it can be traced back to the 11th century BC. Overlooking the bay of Naples, the town is the key point on the Sorrentine Peninsula and is one of the most popular destinations of the entire Campania region. Make sure to plan a day trip to Capri, one of the most celebrated Italian islands, noted for its natural beauty.
TAORMINA (SICILY)
Naxos is gateway to the island of Sicily's strategically significant northeastern region. From this port city, it is a short transfer to Taormina, resting 820 feet above the sea and overlooking imposing Mount Etna. In the early 20th century, Taormina became a colony for expatriate artists and writers, including D H Lawrence. Highlights of any tour of this city would include the remarkably preserved Roman-style Greek Theater, whose acoustics are still appreciated in performances today; the splendid 15th century Palazzo Corvaia; and the Odeon, a small Imperial Age theater set amidst colorful public gardens.
Malta's major port and capital, the entire city of Valletta was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. The centerpiece is the impressive 19th century Mosta Dome, visible from anywhere on the island, with its inlaid marble floor and the gilded, carved stone flowers set around the interior dome. For a tranquil afternoon, stroll the San Anton Palace Gardens, artistically laid out in Three Villages - Attard, Lija and Balzan. Or, for spectacular vistas, take a day tour to Dingli Cliffs, which offer striking views of the sea and rugged coastline. Valetta is also a portal to day trips to nearby Mdina, with its landmark Baroque Cathedral of St. John; and Rabat, the provincial township that was once part of the Roman city of Melita, where you can explore several fascinating archaeological digs.
Day at sea
Crete's eastern corner is home to the resort of Agios Nikolaos, a port that leads the way to the island's most significant ancient ruins. The ancient Minoans lived on Crete as far back as 2500 BC in a society that was by far the most advanced at the time. The ruins of the Minoan palaces at Knossos date from 1700 to 1500 BC and reveal remarkable achievements
Steeped in Greek mythological history, Mykonos was named after Apollo's grandson, Mykons, and was the location of the grand battle between Zeus and the Gigantes. Today, this island is one of Greece's most adored destinations due to its picture- postcard setting and growing nightlife. Mykonos is a superb example of Cycladic architecture, and by law even new buildings have to be built in the same style of whitewashed, organic, cube-like buildings. Be sure to plan a day trip to take in picturesque Little Venice, the unique Paraportiani church, and the archeological dig at Delos.
Renowned as the site of the former Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Rhodes was home to the Knights of St. John from the 12th to 16th centuries. Their famous Palace of the Grand Masters remains a "must-see," as are many of the inns occupied by the Crusaders and the replica of the old church. For a more in-depth look at the city, visitors can take in the Archeological where the Acropolis of Rhodes and the ancient stadium offer perfect photo opportunities.
The island of Kos is rich in monuments and stunning scenery. You will find that the preferred way to get around the island is by bicycle and the preferred pastime is to bask on any of its beautiful beaches. Among the marquis attractions is the archaeological site of Asklepeion, thought to be the world's first hospital built in honor of Hippocrates, the famed Greek physician. Toast to Kos by sampling the local wine at one of the many award-winning wineries or take a boat to Nisyros, famously known as the Island of the Volcano.
With dramatic views of classic whitewashed houses clinging perilously to the side of the caldera and stunning beaches of white and red sand or black pebbles, it's no wonder this may be the most photographed scenery in the world. Visit Ancient Akrotiri, the archeological site of a town frozen in time by ash from an eruption 3,600 years ago. Also worth a day trip is the Volcano of Santorini Palea (old) Kameni and Nea (new) Kameni , two small islands of black lava positioned in the centre of the basin of Santorini.
Piraeus is the gateway to the ancient city of Athens, known as the "Cradle of Western Civilization" because of its immense impact on cultural and political achievements throughout the world. Due mainly to tourism and the 2004 Olympics, Greece has redeveloped many sites in Athens. A historian's delight, Athens is home to such magnificent wonders as: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the atmospheric winding streets of the Plaka, Temple of Olympian Zeus and Temple of Athena Nike, and the Archaeological Museum with the world's finest collection of ancient artifacts.

With this much speed, business travelers can effortlessly stream media from any streaming media service to multiple user devices, VPN into their corporate network, hold a high-definition (HD) video conference call, conduct a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) calls, and browse the internet all at the same time.
•	An IPTV solution as part of its Ka-band package: ViaSat's Ka-band network provides an IPTV solution with no impact on the data plan, which is ideal for those aircraft owners concerned about the eventual turn-off of standard definition business jet TV broadcasts.
•	Global redundancy through ViaSat's Ku-band network: With any Ka-band service plan, business jet owners receive a global ViaSat Ku-band data package – at no extra cost – when the aircraft is properly equipped.
The ViaSat Global Aero Terminal 5510 shipset, which provides access to the ViaSat in-flight internet service for business jets is available and expected to complete certifications on multiple airframe types beginning in the first half of 2018.


I'm increasingly convinced that the only way forward in a world full of hurt and anger and suspicion is people telling their own stories. Policy and scholarship do not change hearts. Data, facts, and even-headed analysis do not change hearts. The only way hearts are reached and touched and changed is by the connection that happens when someone invests in another person's story despite themselves.
Which brings me great optimism, we live in the digital era, where everyone and anyone can tell their story. If we can avoid accompanying them with too much moralizing, or with overdrawn conclusions, and just trust the stories to stand by themselves (which falls on the feminine side of a dichotomy.... but....) Then stories can find their ways into chinks and cracks and bring to bear the fruit of new thoughts and expanded paradigms.
So much energy in the world seems dead set on polarizing, dehumanizing, and other-izing. I see this as the only way forward.

Guess what, foodie followers?! Foodie Mama is going to southern India; Chennai, to be exact. My brother John is getting married to Meena and her family lives in Chennai and that is the wedding venue. The ceremony is on July 4th but I will arrive a few days earlier. Rachel will be traveling with me. We had to get our measurements because we will be wearing sarees for the occasion. I asked for a navy/royal blue and grey/silver and Rachel opted for hot pink and silver. I'm looking forward to it a lot. I have some work colleagues and employees I may try to see as well.
As my followers already know, I LOVE Indian food. I try to make it and am slowly getting better. Mastering the spices and the level of heat is the tricky part. I made this Chicken Saag recipe last week and it was amazing. I have blogged a Saag Paneer recipe previously, with delicious paneer cheese; this one is a bit different in that the greens are not pureed and fresh ginger is used, not dried, and of course, chicken is the protein to go with the greens, no cheese in this version. I hope you enjoy.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small pot with tight fitting lid, combine rice, 1 C water and 1/4 t salt. Bring to boil over high heat. Stir and reduce heat to medium low, cover pot, and simmer until water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand, while covered, 10 minutes.
Pat Chicken dry with paper towel. Place chicken on baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, 1/2 t salt and pepper. Cook in oven until fully cooked, 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to rest.
While chicken cooks, heat butter and almonds in a pan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until butter turns golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Fluff rice with fork and stir in almond and butter mixture. Cover pot again until ready to plate.
In pan used for almonds, heat 2 t olive oil over medium high heat. Add the prepared onion, ginger, garlic and about 1/2 of the jalapeno. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garam masala and tomato paste to pan. Stir and cook until combined and fragrant, 1 minute. Add the spinach and 1 C water. Stir until spinach is wilted. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until liquid is reduced by about 1/2, approx 5-7 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Shred the rested chicken using 2 forks. Add heavy cream and shredded chicken to the pan with the saag, which is still off heat, and stir to combine.
Divide almond basamati rice between 2 bowls and top with chicken saag.

Q: Openlayers simplify linestring on the fly I have an issue on my OpenLayers openstreetmaps where I am loading LineString features from a kml file. Everything works fine except performance due to the sheer complexity of the LineString and the number of linestrings. I wanted to use the simplyfy() function to simplify the linestring geometry/feature. Here is some code I wrote to simplify on the fly. The problem is in the line of code below:
            feature.geometry.components[i].simplify(0.1);

This does not seem to modify the original geometry feature components at all. What am I doing wrong? I think we might need to use removeComponents and then add the simplified geometries using addComponents() but how to do this?
preFeatureInsert: function(feature)

{
    if (feature != "undefined" && feature.geometry != "undefined" && feature.geometry.CLASS_NAME == "OpenLayers.Geometry.Collection");
    {
        if (feature.geometry.components != "undefined" && typeof(feature.geometry.components) != "undefined")
        {
            for (var i = 0; i < feature.geometry.components.length; i++)
            {
                if (feature.geometry.components[i].CLASS_NAME ==  "OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString")
                {
                    feature.geometry.components[i].simplify(0.1);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

A: According to the docs the simplify function returns the simplified linestring (it doesn't modify the original). Therefore I believe you should be using
feature.geometry.components[i] = feature.geometry.components[i].simplify(0.1);

If feasible it would be far prefereable to generalise the feature once at the data-level rather than every time it is loaded on the client.
