Q: How to store multiple rows in one variable? C# Entity Framework public static List<TruckWithModel> GetAllTrucks()
{
    using (DAD_BaldipContext ctx = new DAD_BaldipContext())
    {
        var x = ctx.TruckFeatureAssociation
                   .Include(t => t.Truck)
                   .Include(tf => tf.Feature)
                   .Include(tm => tm.Truck.TruckModel)
                   .Select(it => new TruckWithModel()
                                 {
                                     Colour = it.Truck.Colour,
                                     Size = it.Truck.TruckModel.Size,
                                     RentalPrice = it.Truck.DailyRentalPrice,
                                     Status = it.Truck.Status,
                                     Model = it.Truck.TruckModel.Model,
                                     Rego = it.Truck.RegistrationNumber,
                                     Features = it.Feature.Description
                                 }) ;

        return (List<TruckWithModel>)x.ToList();
    }
}

This code retrieves the various attribute values from the relative tables TruckFeatureAssociation, TruckFeature, IndividualTruck and TruckModel.
The trouble I'm having is that the TruckFeatureAssociation has up to 5 entries for the same truck, this table is a junction table between IndividualTruck and TruckFeature where TruckFeature is a table of various features.
For each TruckFeatureAssociation a different object of TruckWithModel is created i.e. if there are 3 features associated each truck has three rows displayed in the datagrid where I call this function.
I want it so that all the features can be stored in one object.

So in the above output I would want, only one row, saying alarm systems, chrome wheels.

A: The issue here is that you are querying against Features, but the model reflects a Truck... Query a truck, get it's features, then let your view model (TruckWithModel) help format that data for the view..
For example:
[Serializable]
public class TruckWithModel
{
    public string Colour { get; set; }
    public string Size { get; set; }
    public decimal RentalPrice { get; set; }
    public string Status { get; set; }
    public string Model { get; set; }
    public List<string> Features { get; set; } = new List<string>();

    public string FormattedFeatures
    {
       get { return string.Join(", ", Features); }
    }
}

Now when you query the data:
var trucks = ctx.Trucks
    .Select(t => new TruckWithModel()
    {
        Colour = t.Colour,
        Size = t.TruckModel.Size,
        RentalPrice = t.DailyRentalPrice,
        Status = t.Status,
        Model = t.TruckModel.Model,
        Rego = t.RegistrationNumber,
        Features = t.Features.Select(f => f.Description).ToList()
    }).ToList();

This assumes that Truck has a Collection of Features where TruckFeatureAssociation is just a mapping entity. If your Truck's collection is based off TruckFeatureAssociation:
        Features = t.Features.Select(f => f.Feature.Description).ToList()

Now in your view, where you want to display the features, bind to the FormattedFeatures property to get the comma-delimited list of Features for each Truck.
Note that when you use Projection through .Select() you do not need to use .Include() to eager load related entities. EF can work out what to load to satisfy the projection automatically.

When planning a special event, consider adding live plants to the space. A plant rental can add that touch of softness, sophistication and elegance. Consider using tall trees with soft white lights in corners or on either side of the ceremony site. Foliage plants can also be a great way to conceal the mechanics of an outdoor venue- tent poles, pegs, portable generators…plants are a cost-effective way to hide those ugly necessities! With plant rental services from NatureScapes, our staff will deliver, set up your event site, and then come back after the party's over to make it all disappear!

Digimon World
a game by Flying Tiger
Genre: Adventure/RPG
Platform: Playstation
Editor Rating: 5.5/10, based on 1 review
I liked Tamagotchi when they came over from Japan, so it's not so much of a surprise to me that I enjoyed this monster-raising game. Digimon World takes the Tamagotchi theme and, using prerendered backgrounds and polygonal characters, makes an RPG out of it. Thrust into the world of File City, your character must save the world (naturally), using his collection of digital monsters. Anyone familiar with the Digimon roster will find all their familiar favorites here, v/hich is great for fans. Depending on how you raise, train and treat your Digimon, it may grow up to be an attentive, well-trained servant or a bratty, spoiled whiner. It's taken Bandai long enough to get Digimon World here, as this game is almost two years old, and it does show its age in terms of aesthetics, but that doesn't detract from the fun quotient at all. There are tons of Digimon to find and train, and the interface is clean and simple. It was a little slow at times, but I didn't mind the shortcomings so much because I love the character designs (like Angemon and Garurumon, and especially cute lil' Potamon) and found the theme of raising critters rewarding. The lack of analog control is unfortunate though, as the D-pad makes this a bit of a thumb-buster, but Digimaniacs certainly won't mind. Fans and other junior monster-breeders sick of Nintendo's critters will find an edgier alternative here. I find it an endearing RPG-lite.
Does your existence revolve around watching the Digimon TV show, collecting the figures and playing the card game? If so, maybe you'll be able to overlook all of this game's shortcomings. But if you could care less about the care and pampering of digital monsters, then forget this one. It's Tamagotchi with battles. Graphics? What graphics? While not the worst I've seen, they're nothing to get excited over. Gameplay isn't nearly as deep or involving as Pokemon and the load times are ridiculous--it takes forever to go from area to area and begin battles. Two years ago this might've been a decent PlayStation game.
Unless you're a Digimon freak of the highest proportion, the only endearing aspect of this game is the novelty of having monsters take a poop on screen once in a while. Otherwise, the characters are uninteresting, the game's pace is slow and the battle system...my god. What did I do to deserve this? You have almost zero control over combat once it begins. While you can give them the odd general order once in a while, you'll mostly be watching the screen helplessly. Unfortunately, too many of the battles break down to what looks like a staring contest between your Digimon and its attacker. The translation is sub-par as well. Avoid this junk.

Adam Lambert: Out Singers Sam Smith, Olly Alexander Changing Music Industry Attitudes
Out singer Adam Lambert has credited British singers Sam Smith and Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander for helping change attitudes in the music industry.
Lambert, who is currently on his The Original High world tour, told Digital Spy that music industry executives remain uncomfortable with men singing love songs about other men.
"People are becoming less ignorant and the younger generation that's coming up right now are like, 'So what?' That's melting into and affecting pop culture in general," Lambert said.
"There's not as much of a reason to be scared of it, because people in general aren't scared of it."
Lambert credited Smith and Alexander for helping change attitudes, but added that he would like to see more American artists do the same.
"It'd be nice if there was more. I think it'll happen slowly but surely. There are success stories happening and that's the biggest thing for the music industry."
"There's only so much you can do as an artist," he said about gay male singers using male pronouns in their music. "Luckily we're in a moment right now with streaming where there's more power put back into the artist's and audience's hands."
"But the gatekeepers who make a lot of the other big decisions in the music industry, those are the ones hardest to convince on certain things. That's the reasoning for some of the pronoun stuff."

In To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others, Daniel Pink presents a convincing argument for his thesis. Selling isn't an isolated activity undertaken by business development departments, but an essential skill to help all of us move others in our professional and daily lives.
Pink's book lays out a clear understanding of modern business practices, introducing individuals from all professional walks of life and demonstrating how their daily lives incorporate selling. The US Census Bureau estimates that the American economy has more than twenty-one million "non-employer" businesses—operations without any employees. Some analysts (according to Pink) project there will be sixty-five million independent entrepreneurs by 2020, dominating the American workforce. All this newfound independence in work means that we take on much more of the sales responsibility for our businesses.
And even within businesses, traditional division of skills is breaking down. With sales 'departments' on the decline and elastic skill sets in demand, more and more of us are called to represent our companies to new and current clients. In effect, selling our services on a daily basis.
This rise of 'non-sales selling' is challenging our long-held stereotypes of salespeople. Pink explores these (mostly negative) associations and shows how the vast amount of information available today has made customers and clients much more educated in the sales process. Not that dishonest sales practices have disappeared, but that transparency is continually being rewarded by long-term customer relationships.
Fostering the 'selling instinct' in all of us is about understanding sales differently. This is about moving people, whether you're in education, healthcare, or traditional sales. How do we move people toward processes that will benefit them?
Pink redefines the ABC's of sales as Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity. These practices of empathy, properly framing a potential client's questions, and embracing the unique and powerful information the other party brings to the conversation creates an environment where people feel heard. This environment is what can help individuals move past their thinking to yours, effectively 'selling' them on your expertise.
To Sell is Human can help you create action steps within your business to empower yourself and your employees to represent your products and services. Individuals who don't think of themselves as 'salespeople' can suddenly see how their listening skills and compassion for clients is a huge asset to their ability to move others. They become ambassadors of your business, opening doors you didn't even know existed.
Additionally, thinking of sales in the wider aspect of moving others enables you to take sales practices like pitching and closing into other aspects of your business. Training staff, developing a positive working culture, and customer engagement can all benefit from these techniques. And all of our businesses can benefit from happier employees and customers!

Antigua and Barbuda elects new government, PM
June 17, 2014 Kevin Lees Leave a comment
Though Antigua and Barbuda's elections were postponed from an originally planned date in March, the result was perhaps worth the wait, bring an end to Baldwin Spencer's decade-long rule as prime minister.
On June 12, Antiguans and Barbudans instead turned to Gaston Browne, the leader of the Antigua Labour Party (ALP), which won 14 out of 17 seats in the House of Representatives, leaving Spencer's United Progressive Party (UPP) with just three seats.
Browne (pictured above) campaigned on turning around the country's struggling economy, unemployment and high crime. At 47, he'll become the country's youngest prime minister. Almost immediately after taking office, Browne signed a memorandum of understanding with a Chinese investment firm for a $2 billion project to develop greater tourism infrastructure.
The ALP has long been the dominant party in the country's political history, even before independence. Its founder, Vere Bird, served as chief minister, then premier, for all but five years between 1960 and 1981, then as Antigua and Barbuda's first post-independence prime minister from 1981 to 1994. His son, Lester Bird, served as prime minister from 1994 to 2004, when Spencer led the first non-Labour government in nearly 30 years after rallying against corruption from the Bird/ALP era.

Start | About | Blog | Raising a Multilingual (AAC) Child
By Carolina Caggiano
Follow Carolina on Instagram at @superaacmom
Hi, my name is Carolina Caggiano, and I´m an AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) mom raising a multilingual family. My oldest child, Isabella, is an eye gaze AAC user. Introducing and implementing AAC into a family doesn't come without its challenges. But what happens when the AAC user is also part of a multilingual family? What are the challenges, and what the outcome can be. Well, we are that family, and this is our story.
Our language journey hasn't been an easy one. We transitioned from being a multilingual family, to a monolingual family (once AAC was introduced to our lives) to finally became, the family we were always meant to be, a multilingual (AAC) family.
My daughter Isabella was born 10 years ago into a multilingual family. My husband speaks Norwegian, I speak Spanish, and together we speak English. It was natural for us to speak all three languages on our daily basis.
At the age of 1 year old, Isabella was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Her diagnosis affected our daughter´s ability to control her body. Before we found out CP would also compromise Isabella´s speech production, we spoke all three languages together. That was our family, a multilingual one.
Isabella was almost 2 years old when we found out her diagnosis would also affect her speech. When AAC was introduced to our lives, there was an old assumption linking speech delay and bilingualism. That assumption pushed us to make a very difficult decision: as we live in Norway, we would only focus on developing Isabella´s Norwegian skills. We then, went from being a multilingual family, to a monolingual one. We thought that multilingualism and AAC were not compatible. We were wrong.
As we continue to educate ourselves in all AAC related, Isabella received her first Tobii Dynavox with eye gaze. Her device would give our daughter the chance to communicate, but little did we know it would give her so much more. It didn't take long before Isabella started to show big improvements to communicate using symbols. We, as a family, continued to speak, model and add symbols to her book, only in Norwegian. We were eager to learn more about AAC, particularly how to program her Tobii and how to implement AAC at home. We knew that in order to help our daughter learn AAC, we would have to first, learn AAC ourselves.
As Isabella´s communicational skills continued to improve, she became more and more curious about my mother tongue, a.k.a., Spanish. Isabella asked me to teach her Spanish. This was a period full of uncertainties, as we didn't want to compromise her acquired Norwegian skills. In other words, we were unsure about what was the right thing to do.
By the time Isabella turned 4 years old, she was able to form sentences in Norwegian, choosing from a wide variety of symbols. It was then we decided to give Isabella access to a Norwegian keyboard. We modeled Norwegian letter sounds, spelling, and showed her how to write some simple words; it was nothing formal, as our intention was to give her the chance to "play" with words. It didn't take long until Isabella started to write her first words in Norwegian. We continued to model, and she continued to bloom.
When Isabella was 5 years old, I couldn't hold back teaching her Spanish any longer. She was eager to learn the language, and quite frankly, I ran out of excuses of why I couldn't teach her Spanish. We took a leap of faith and prayed that introducing Spanish modeling, wouldn´t affect her Norwegian language development. Multilingualism and AAC was unknown territory for us, but we gave Isabella access to the same symbol-book she originally had in Norwegian, translated into Spanish. Language development was happening fast, and at 5 years old, Isabella transitioned from using her Norwegian symbol-book, to exclusively write in Norwegian. She also continued to improve on the use of her Spanish symbol-book.
To give Isabella access to a Spanish keyboard, felt as the obvious next step. This decision proved to be correct, as Isabella started to write her first words in Spanish short after. Modeling in Norwegian and Spanish, became a normal part of our everyday.
Isabella started first grade being able to read and write in Norwegian, and well on her way on developing Spanish skills. She attended a regular school, and she was part of a regular class. Part of the school´s curricula was to learn English. Isabella got access to an English keyboard as she started first grade. At this point, Isabella had access to three different keyboards on her Tobii, in three different languages, Norwegian, Spanish and English. Modelling in all three languages became our new normal.
Isabella is currently 10 years old and will be starting 5th grade next year. She is the oldest of 4 siblings, and her language skills continue to blossom. Isabella can now, read and write in all three languages, Norwegian, Spanish and English, and we continue our daily language modeling. We have finally become, the family we were always meant to, a multilingual AAC family. This proves only one thing, AAC and multilingualism are in fact compatible. Our language journey hasn't been easy, as it was full of uncertainties, but it has been worth it.

Prominent Hawai'i Christian minister and popular newspaper author who authorities incarcerated during World War II.
2 World War II Experiences
3 Return to Hawai'i
4 For Further Information
Paul Osumi was born on June 15, 1905, in Kusatsu, Hiroshima, the eighth child of Usaburo and Yoshi Osumi. His father immigrated to Hawai'i a few years later leaving Osumi in the care of his mother and in 1919, when he was fourteen years old, he left Japan and arrived in Honolulu. He first stayed with his father for a few months before Usaburo returned to Japan. Osumi then lived with his older brother, Torakichi, who owned a Japanese restaurant called Fukujitei near A'ala Park. He lived above the restaurant for a time before enrolling and boarding at Mills Institute for Boys, now called Mid-Pacific Institute. Osumi excelled in his studies and was able to attend school through work scholarships. According to Osumi's son Norman, "it was at school that my father was first influenced by Christian values."[1]
After graduating from Mills in 1926, Osumi attended the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa where he was active in student life as the President of the Friend Peace Club, a member of the Japanese Students Association and YMCA, and a reporter for the student newspaper, Ka Leo o Hawai'i. Osumi graduated on June 2, 1930, and for four years lived at Waipahu Community House and worked for the Hawaiian Board of Missions for the Waipahu, 'Ewa, and Pearl City districts while working part time at the YMCA boys' club in the Leeward area. During that period, he met a third-generation Japanese American by the name of Janet Sadako Monden who was born in Nu'umalu, Kaua'i. On June 16, 1933, they married at Nu'uanu Japanese Church in Honolulu, currently Nu'uanu Congregational Church. The couple then left for California where Osumi earned a master's degree in theology from the University of Southern California. After graduating with honors in June 1936, Osumi returned to Hawai'i where he was first assigned to the Hilo Japanese Christian Church, now the Church of the Holy Cross, and later became the minister for Līhu'e Japanese Christian Church.
World War II Experiences
Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, authorities issued a warrant of arrest for Osumi and incarcerated him first at Wailuā County Jail then at Sand Island before he was moved to the mainland. According to Osumi's son Norman, Osumi believed he was arrested because he was corresponding with the Japanese Consulate of Honolulu as he was assisting with expatriating dual-citizen Nisei to have them become full American citizens.[2] In a letter protesting his incarceration Osumi directed addressed the charges against him:
I was arrested and interned on the charge that I was a consular agent. But I NEVER WAS. What I did was this: many of church young people had dual citizenship—Japanese and American citizenship—Believing that they would renounce their Japanese citizenship I encouraged them to expatriate. Since they and their parents did not know the procedure in expatriation, I helped them write papers to the Japanese consulate and the Board of Health. This was my primary purpose in writing to the Consulate. Great was my surprise when I was branded as a consular agent, and was arrested.[3]
Despite these innocuous actions and testimony from many prominent people on Kaua'i who vouched for Osumi's character as a Christian minister, authorities remained unconvinced of Osumi's innocence. After sending him to Sand Island, authorities transferred Osumi to Lordsburg, New Mexico, then to Gila River concentration camp in Arizona where Osumi was the youth minister at the Canal Christian Church. On February 5, 1944, Osumi contracted valley fever, a fungal growth in the lungs causing him to have pleurisy, a painful inflammation of the membrane surrounding the lungs. Concerned about her husband's health Janet Osumi moved to Gila with her two young sons, Paul Jr., and Norman, to care for him.
Return to Hawai'i
When the family returned to the Islands after the war, Osumi became the minister at the Waialua Pilgrim Church, now called the Waialua United Church of Christ in 1946. In 1949, the family moved to 'Ewa where Osumi was the minister at 'Ewa Community Church for nine years before he became the senior minister at Nu'uanu Congregational Church. As senior minister, he was instrumental in moving the church from the old 1614 Nu'uanu site to a three acre parcel on 4">Mary Ishii Kuramoto, Dendo: One Hundred Years of Japanese Christians in Hawaii and the Nuuanu Congregational Church (Honolulu: Nuuanu Congregational Church, 1986), 71.</ref>
Starting in 1957, Osumi began to write a series of short articles for the newspapers called "Today's Thought" that were inspirational non-denominational sayings, observations, and commentaries. As Osumi recalled, "in the beginning, eight ministers from different faiths were asked to contribute . . . I outlasted them all because I didn't write about my own theology, I wrote about real life."[4] Osumi wrote on a wide variety of topics and one author described his articles as "philosophical, yet witty, characteristic of the author's charismatic personality. They make profound social statements about peace, racial harmony, raising children, marriage, technological advance, life and death . . . thoughts everyone can apply to their daily lives."[5] According to his family, Osumi "got many of his Today's Thought inspirational sayings from his own life experiences; from talking to people he met through his ministry; from reading the Bible, books, magazines, newspapers, and letters; and sometimes by waking up in the middle of the night to write down a thought."[6] Osumi published his writings in the Honolulu Advertiser and Hawaii Hochi (newspaper), for over thirty-eight years and published three volumes of his collected articles that sold thousands of copies in multiple printings.
He also began the practice of doing Hawai'i weddings for couples from Japan in 1968 that offered additional income for the church with the start of the Japanese tourism boom in the 1960s. Although the majority of the couples were not Christian, these visitors wanted to have an American-style Christian wedding performed in Japanese followed by a honeymoon in Hawai'i and Osumi was willing to meet the demand. This practice soon grew into a multi-million dollar industry in Hawai'i that is still going on today.
Osumi first retired from Nu'uanu Congregational Church in 1975 before being called back for a "few months" that turned into five years.[7] Following Osumi's second retirement, he and his wife took a trip to Japan in 1980 and enjoyed the last few years of his life with family and friends. Osumi passed away at the age of ninety on April 8, 1996.[8]

So how does it work? To book you need to like the Pop-Ty Facebook page. When Angharad announces the next pop-up dates, it's first come, first served. It might all sound a bit cloak and dagger, but this really adds to the exclusive 'secret supper club' feel.
Angharad then emails you closer to the time with a menu (three choices of dish for starter, main and dessert), you pay your £20 deposit and choose what you'd like to eat a week beforehand.
On the night we were first to arrive at the church hall, which looked really beautiful. The attention to detail was fantastic, with candles, fairy lights, vintage china and bunting making the old hall look very special indeed. The attention to detail continued with the table settings, with an imaginative use of conkers for place settings and menu choices written on old fashioned flower cards. Even the toilets were beautified for Pop-Ty with a walkway of candles leading the way, candles and vintage mirrors in the loo itself, and even a game of solitaire laid out for the those who need something to do in there!
One long table was set up for 20 people and we were quite unsure at first about sitting with people we didn't know. But it actually added to the atmosphere and everyone was chatting quite freely by the end of the night.
Hedydd, the waitress offered us a plum and apple spritzer cocktail on arrival, which went down very easily. Then we were on our own with the booze, we'd been told to bring our own drinks. We took a bottle of wine we had left from our recent trip to France, which was a lovely reminder of our recent trip.
First course was an amuse-bouche of beetroot 'cappuccino'. A small espresso cup of beetroot soup, with hints of orange and a good chilli kick. This was a lovely surprise as I was expecting to go straight into the starter and it was my dish of the night too – I could've eaten bowls of it. The other diners seemed to agree, with lots of 'Mmmm' sounds going on!
To start, I'd chosen the Brazilian lime fish stew, a creamy stew with a perfectly cooked fillet of fish, it was really delicious.
Then it was pallet cleanser time, with a good old lemon sorbet, before moving onto our scrummy beetroot risotto main. I overheard a couple of diners saying they felt their main portion was too small, but I thought the sizes were perfect, it just meant I had room for dessert. And I'm so glad I did; I'd chosen deep fried sticky rice balls with coconut and mango. They weren't the kind of thing I'd usually choose as my dessert (and I did have food envy for Gavin's white chocolate and raspberry tart) but I really enjoyed trying something different. The rice balls were also served with some sort of iced tea drink – it had a taste of what I think was matcha green tea and mango, which was really refreshing.
Finally we were offered teas and coffees before Hedydd passed around the coffee jar for us to pay our remaining £15 per head.
By the time we'd left it was after 11, so we'd spent almost four hours enjoying a leisurely meal in lovely surroundings.
I very much enjoyed trying Pop-Ty and we'll definitely be going again. This was the first thing I crossed off my Cardiff Bucket List and what a good start!
You can read more about Angharad and Pop-Ty in this article on Wales Online.
The meal at Pop-Ty cost £35 per head and Angharad and the team did not know I'd be blogging about them.
Hey you guys! Last night we FINALLY got to go to Motley Movies outdoor cinema in Cardiff.
The guys at Motley Movies have been showing films on the rooftop garden of Jacob's Antique Market (next to Cardiff Central Station) since May. They've been putting on an awesome selection including Human Traffic, Wayne's World and Bridget Jones. Last night was one of my childhood favourites The Goonies. The website says showing the films on the roof is as much about the atmosphere they've created as watching the film and they're dead right. The location, overlooking Cardiff as the sun sets, made for a great evening anyway, but watching one of my favourite films (and many other people's judging by the laughter and cheering at the crucial points) was great fun.
The rooftop is fully licensed and opens at 6, where they have music and amazing drinks from the Two Fingers guys. I tried the One Eyed Willy cocktail, rum, ginger, lime and chilli (£5) which was gorgeous and veeeery strong, before moving on to the safety of the wine.
And the food! Motley Movies have food pop ups at each event and last night was Hang Fire BBQ an extra bonus for me as I've been dying to try their food for ages. The Truffle Shuffle sandwich (pulled pork and truffle slaw. £6) was absolutely immense. The Babe Ruth dessert (caramel, peanuts, marshmallows and huge lumps of chocolate. £2) was the most sugary thing I've eaten in ages. In fact, I think I'm still buzzing. Chunk and Sloth would've loved it.
As the sun set over Cardiff, the film began. It did get chilly, luckily we wrapped up warm and took a blanket, but they also had blankets to hire, so it was nice and cosy. We were quite lucky as the weather the previous night (where they showed Wayne's World) was apparently awful. That's the gamble of the Cardiff weather I suppose.
A few years back Gavin and I went to an outdoor cinema in LA. It's a really established event there where people queue for hours to get in (and of course they have the weather and access to Hollywood Stars, many of whom talk before the movie) but I can see Motley Movies becoming almost as popular. We'll certainly be making it one of our summer must-dos.
Tickets to The Goonies at Motley Movies were £10 each.
We paid in full for everything and Motley Movies were not aware I'd be blogging about them.

Crystallography is commonly used for studying the structures of protein–protein complexes. However, a crystal structure does not define a unique protein–protein interface, and distinguishing a 'biological interface' from 'crystal contacts' is often not straightforward. A number of computational approaches exist for distinguishing them, but their error rate is high, emphasizing the need to obtain further data on the biological interface using complementary structural and functional approaches. In addition to reviewing the computational and experimental approaches for addressing this problem, we highlight two relevant examples. The first example from our laboratory involves the structure of acyl-CoA thioesterase 7, where each domain of this two-domain protein was crystallized separately, but both yielded a non-functional assembly. The structure of the full-length protein was uncovered using a combination of complementary approaches including chemical cross-linking, analytical ultracentrifugation and mutagenesis. The second example involves the platelet glycoprotein Ibα–thrombin complex. Two groups reported the crystal structures of this complex, but all the interacting interfaces differed between the two structures. Our computational analysis did not fully resolve the reasons for the discrepancies, but provided interesting insights into the system. This review highlights the need to complement crystallographic studies with complementary experimental and computational approaches.

I'm in the process of porting an application from JBM+StompConnect to HornetQ with native STOMP protocol handler.
One issue I've just run into is that StompSession calls ServerSessionImpl.acknowledge rather than ServerSessionImpl.individualAcknowledge, forcing acknowledgment of messages in the order in which they were received. This breaks my application, which processes and acknowledges messages out-of-order using separate worker threads. StompConnect doesn't have the same limitation, and the STOMP protocol description also doesn't mention it. Could this be changed to use individualAcknowledge by default, or could this be made configurable?
1. Re: STOMP and Individual Ack?
"When a client has issued a SUBSCRIBE frame with the ack header set to client any messages received from that destination will not be considered to have been consumed (by the server) until the message has been acknowledged via an ACK."
BTW StompConnect won't do anything different since it just uses the JMS API, and there is no way using JMS to acknowledge an individual message out of order.
2. Re: STOMP and Individual Ack?
You are right that HornetQ is under no obligation to support out-of-order acknowledgements, I was mistaken. I missed the bit where vanilla JMS doesn't support out-of-order acks. I'm not sure I agree that the STOMP spec is clear in this regard -- it doesn't clarify what "any messages" are in the context of "the message" -- but you are probably right that the intention was to match JMS behaviour.
That said, if I'm not missing anything HornetQ could easily support out-of-order STOMP acks, and my application -- and probably others -- would benefit from it. Would you consider adding this as a feature that can be enabled in the configuration? I'd be happy to provide a patch to this end.
3. Re: STOMP and Individual Ack?
4. Re: STOMP and Individual Ack?
Even betterer: STOMP 1.1 provides a new ack type, client-individual!
It would be fantastic to add support for this prior to adding full STOMP 1.1 support as per HORNET-553. I'll send over a patch shortly.
5. Re: STOMP and Individual Ack?
I took the liberty of creating issue HORNETQ-713 with a patch for this.


By the way, a big thanks goes to Edgar Merino for pointing out some simplifications to the code that have now been implemented in this example. If you would like to try it out, click on this Java Web Start link, keeping in mind that you'll need at least JRE 6. Also, installing Java SE 6 update 10 will give you faster deployment time.
As I mentioned in the JavaFX SDK Packages are Taking Shape post, JavaFX is adopting a graphical "node-centric" approach to UI development, so nearly everything in a JavaFX user interface is a Node. When you want to create your own custom node, you'll extend the CustomNode class, giving it your desired attributes and behavior. Shown below is the code for the custom node in the example that displays an image and responds to mouse events (e.g. becoming more translucent and showing the text when rolling the mouse over).
Note: You may be wondering why I don't just use the Button class that is located in the javafx.ext.swing package. The reason is that the Button class is a Component, not a Node, and I think that it is best to follow the stated direction of moving to a node-centric approach. At some point there will be a button that subclasses Node, at which point the ButtonNode class in this example may not be needed anymore.
* for fade-in and fade-out behavior.
This new class introduces attributes for storing the image and text that will appear on the custom node.
The create() function returns the declarative expression of our custom node's UI appearance and behavior.
The Glow effect in the javafx.scene.effect package is used to brighten the image when clicked.
The opacity of the image, the size of the image, and the title of the custom node, are transitioned as the mouse enters and exits the button. A Timeline is employed to make these transitions gradual.
After adjusting opacity and applying a glow effect, the onMouseClicked function calls the action() function attribute defined earlier in the listing. This make our custom node behave like the familiar Button.
Arranging the ButtonNode instances into a "menu"
Notice that the action attributes are assigned functions that are called whenever the user clicks the mouse on the corresponding ButtonNode, as pointed out earlier. Also notice the the __DIR__ expression evaluates to the directory in which the CLASS file resides. In this case, the graphical images are located in a com/javafxpert/menu_node_example/ui/icons directory.
By the way, the images for this article can be downloaded so that you can build and run this example with the graphics. This is a zip file that you can expand in the project's classpath.
toogle doesn't exists anymore? Do you have any idea what I can use instead?
Very nice article. I'm all agree with you.
I'm fan of JavaFX. I developed some custom nodes and will publish them in very near future. MenuNode is alo fantastic.
Also please add Linux support ASAP ;) Linux systems are getting more users day by day.
That is a zip file that you can expand in the project's classpath.

Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz says he's entering transfer portal
(AP Photo/Andy Manis)
MADISON, Wis. (AP) Graham Mertz is entering the transfer portal after spending the last three seasons as Wisconsin's starting quarterback.
Mertz announced Sunday on social media he was entering the portal "in pursuit of my next opportunity." His move comes one week after Wisconsin hired former Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell to head its program.
"I am grateful for my time as a Badger," Mertz said in his post. "My time in Madison has taught me lessons that go far beyond the football field."
Mertz arrived at Wisconsin as the nation's No. 65 overall prospect in his class, according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. He was the Badgers' first top-100 247Sports Composite signee who didn't play on the offensive line since 2007, when they got running back John Clay.
Mertz went 20 of 21 and threw five touchdown passes to help Wisconsin beat Illinois 45-7 in his first career start, setting a school single-game record for single-game completion percentage and tying the school single-game record for touchdown passes.
But he struggled with consistency the rest of his time with the Badgers. Wisconsin had a different offensive coordinator each of his three seasons as a starter.
Mertz has completed 59.5% of his career passes for 5,405 yards with 38 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. He completed 57.3% of his attempts for 2,136 yards with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season.
"To my teammates, we've been through a lot, and the thing that kept us going was our love for each other," Mertz said in the post announcing his decision. "That is one thing that can never be broken."

Once you step into the Biltmore Estate Mansion, your eyes will travel with glint through its walls and pillars. You will start mouthing the words "wow", "perfect", and "unbelievable". No doubt, you will whisper these quoted words to yourself and the first question you will ask yourself is, "Is this real?". You wouldn't believe a luxury this extreme really exists. And indeed, the Biltmore Estate Mansion bespeaks of lavishness in every way. Name what you wish to have for your own and you will see them in this place. Branded as the world's famous Biltmore House and Gardens, this mansion was built by George Vanderbilt in 1895. Located in Asheville, North Carolina, the mansion took 6 years and 1,000 men to build. With just over 4 acres of floor space, it comprises 250 rooms, 65 fireplaces, 43 bathrooms, 34 bedrooms, and 3 kitchens. The enormous stone spiral staircase has 102 steps. Perched by a single bolt at its center is an iron chandelier enclosing 72 electric light bulbs. There is also a Banquet Hall measuring 74 feet by 42 feet and as many as 64 guests can occupy the dinner table. During the 1800s, there were usually 8 courses of meals served and 15 utensils are set per person on this table.
If you plan to arrange a day of magnificence, enchant yourself with the seemingly gleaming structure of the mansion. Perhaps, this is a life lived with gold everywhere. There are authentic furnishings that are still well-preserved like the art treasures Mr. Vanderbilt collected from all throughout his travels and, that motive of keeping valuables intact in his residence, gives that homey family atmosphere to the guests who are awed by its extravagance. The mansion is in itself, a museum of both tangible and intangible possessions, experiences and love for life. Actually, the Biltmore Estate Mansion had been used for films like Forest Gump, The Last of the Mohicans and Richie Rich. No wonder why it is always a great place to shoot for concepts of luxury and immenseness of life in many aspects; it is so blessed with many good things. The trees are from the Black Forest of Germany and there are a variety of flower species as well.
The gardens are in full bloom from April through fall and the best time to see this is in the festival of flowers between April 1 and April 30. More to that, you must stop to taste the wines coupled with a wine tour, too. This offer can only be experienced in the Biltmore Estate as they are famous for their award-winning winery. What more is there to ask? Be one of more or less 1 million visitors every year. Witness the bricked sidewalks, streets contoured with trees and the lovely old American architecture before everyone else decides to take this tour!

ROSEN, NATIONAL TRIAL COUNSEL, Encourages Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. Investors With Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - VWE
International Press Releases
Last updated Thursday, December 29, 2022 23:37 ET
Vancouver Canada · V6E 4A6, Canada, 12/29/2022 / SubmitMyPR /
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 29, 2022) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWE) between October 13, 2021 and September 13, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 13, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Vintage Wine Estates securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Vintage Wine Estates class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8704 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 13, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) due to a material weakness related to its inventory controls and procedures, Vintage Wine Estates lacked a reasonable basis to report inventory metrics; (2) Vintage Wine Estates understated its overhead burden in certain quarters, thereby overstating its adjusted EBITDA; (3) as a result of the foregoing, Vintage Wine Estates was reasonably likely to incur significant charges to restate prior reporting; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Vintage Wine Estates class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8704 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action.

Choosing St. Cyril's
St. Cyril's embraces the notion that the official role of any Theological college is the educational formation of the students enrolled. However, they also have a deeper and more nuanced understanding of their function, which is informed by their Orthodox theology.
The College is an intrinsic part of the Coptic Orthodox Church. As such, they don't view their service in isolation from the rest of the Church, but rather as a service which has significance for the whole of the Church. St. Cyril's endeavours to nourish the hearts, souls and minds of the whole community. Whilst not the whole of the community will be directly associated with the college, they are deeply aware of the fact that their service will reach out, via their graduates, to the whole community. And so they also view their mission as that of spiritual formation. From an Orthodox perspective, academic excellence and spiritual formation are two sides of the same task. In this, St. Cyril's are informed by the Evagrian maxim, "The one who prays is a theologian; the one who is a theologian, prays." Accordingly, at St. Cyril's, the Chapel is just as integral as the lecture room. The transformation of the heart is as significant as the illumination of the mind. In short, St. Cyril's are dedicated to the edification of the whole person, and the whole Church.
This page provides basic information about St. Cyril's and the Sydney College of Divinity awards and units it offers. If you are interested in pursuing a Sydney College of Divinity award with St. Cyril's you are advised to contact St. Cyril's directly.

Cat from London {England}
on Friday, October 30, 2015
Do you know the creepy true story of the ghosts of Highgate Cemetery?
Highgate Cemetery is supposedly one of the most haunted places of London, England. One man, whose car had broken down, reported seeing a hideous apparition with glowing red eyes. Another man was knocked to the ground by a creature that "seemed to glide" from the wall of the cemetery and then disappeared into thin air. Some say it's a vampire, waiting for unsuspecting victims to take with him under the foliage-covered grounds.
Besides the ghosts and the vampire, Highgate Cemetery is also home to several cats who are said to be there to protect us from this evil.
However, those who are brave enough will discover one of London's most stunning places (more pictures here). The cemetery is divided into two parts, each with their separate entrance fees, tours, and visiting rules. Highgate Cemetery opened in the nineteenth century as a response to London's lack of burial grounds. It's the third of the seven cemeteries to be built back then. Some famous graves included those of Karl Marx, Douglas Adams, George Elliot, and Patrick Caulfield.
Address: Swain's Lane, Highgate, London N6 6PJ, England.

Cats from Eureka Springs {USA}
on Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Welcome to the hotel where some guests check out... but never leave!
Many authorities list the 1886 Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, as the most haunted hotel in America. Guests see black figures in the mirror, and orbs and ghostly mists in the shape of a little girl. They hear ghostly voices. Books fly through the air. EMF meters go crazy beeping and flashing.
People are so obsessed with the ghosts of this hotel that they forget to mention its most important asset: the cats.
"The first cat was Morris, a yellow tabby who came to the Crescent Hotel in 1979 and remained there until his death in 2000. There's a cat door on the back side of the lobby that was made just for him. Today people still report seeing his ghost roaming the halls," says author Kat Robinson.
"Since then there have been cats on and off at the Crescent Hotel. Frisco and Shadow were born at the Crescent. Frisco loved to sleep in the rooms with the guests. She was a polydactyl cat, meaning she had six toes on each front foot. Shadow, on the other hand, was the shy type. Rufus with his crooked tail was next. Apparently, he loved to attend weddings at the Crescent," continues Kat Robinson.
"The current feline residents are Casper and Jasper who came to the Crescent Hotel on Halloween 2009. Casper loves to stalk dogs that come to the hotel with their owners. Jasper is more comfortable stalking people and loves to swipe at shoelaces as people pass."
Crescent Hotel now cashes in on the haunted hype by organizing ESP weekends and ghost tours. Tours run nightly starting at 8 p.m. and last 75 minutes. "Something bizarre does not happen every night on every tour, but sometimes they do happen," says Keith Scales, director of the hotel's ghost tours department. In any case, even if you don't encounter any ghosts, you are guaranteed to see a bunch of cute cats.

In the fall, especially with Halloween around the corner, it's nice to stroll through a cemetery to soak up the creepy atmosphere.
If you're in Tokyo, you may want to visit the Aoyama Cemetery. Not only does it contain the graves of many notable Japanese, but it's also the home of many stray cats that never fail to greet cat-loving tourists.
Fun fact: the Aoyama Cemetery's most famous grave is that of Hachiko, the dutiful dog who inspired the movie Hachi: a Dog's Tale with Richard Gere.
More info about the Aoyama Cemetery on TripAdvisor.
P.S. Have you seen the cats from the Ginza shopping district in Tokyo (warning: cuteness overload) and the creepy cat of the Numazu cemetery?
Cat from Barcelona {Spain}
I spotted this cat last week when in Barcelona, Spain. It's the resident cat from Centro Anandi, a spiritual center where you can follow yoga, meditation, Bollywood, and belly dance lessons; enjoy massages and reiki; or buy artisan candles, healing gemstones, etc.
Want to meet this cat as well? Centro Anandi is situated on the Carrer de la Mare de déu dels desemparats near the metro station Fontanera. Also nearby are the famous Parque Güell and the upcoming Barcelona cat café.

Cats from Hydra Harbor {Hydra}
on Sunday, October 11, 2015
"Many of the cats in my book The Secret Life of Greek Cats were photographed on the island of Hydra," explains author Joan Paulson Gage.
"On a recent trip back to Hydra, I was curious to see if the economic crisis in Greece had affected the island's feline population. The harbor cats were there, as numerous as always. They were gathered to greet the tourists, waiting under the taverna tables for handouts, and avoiding being trampled by the donkeys in the harbor, who are the only form of transportation on Hydra," Joan Paulson Gage continues.
"Every time I'd comment that the Hydra cats seemed thinner than before, my daughter Eleni would point out a fat cat who clearly enjoyed a regular meal schedule. The best fed and happiest cats on the island are, of course, house pets and store cats. The harbor cats have a harder life, but they regularly greet the fishing boats as they come in in the morning, hoping for scraps when fish are cleaned. They also keep an eye on the private boats anchored in the harbor-- to the point of mastering tightrope walking, if it will win a tasty bite. Even the wildest of the feral cats, when the sun begins to set, have to stop a moment and wonder at the beauty of their island, and take a moment to wish for good hunting and a full stomach tomorrow."
You can find The Secret Life Of Greek Cats at Amazon US and Amazon UK.
Cats from Lia {Greece}

Hortensia and Haroula are sunning themselves on the terrace of Dina Petsis in the village of Lia, as they watch Dina prepare the bread called "prosphora" for lunch. Dina makes the dough with yeast and flour, kneads it and punches it down and then waits for it to rise. Just before she slides it on a paddle into the bee-hive-shaped outdoor oven, she stamps the dough with a bread stamp. The square in the center presses out the letters "IC XC NIKA" which stands for "Jesus Christ Conquers".
When Dina takes the bread to church, the priest will bless it and he'll cut out the square in the middle of the bread and mix it with wine for those who take communion. The rest of the loaf may be cut up for the antidoron, which is passed out at the end of the service.
It's an honor to bake the prosphora. The cats are proud that their mistress was chosen, and that she's the best cook in the village.
They're sitting under hydrangeas - some of them planted in empty tins from feta cheese and olive oil that Dina uses in her cooking. They love watching the baking and the way the bread smells as it cooks. Greeks call the hydrangea flower "Hortensia" and that's where the cat on the left got her name. Her sister is named Haroula, which means "Little Joy". Learning to cook and eating Dina's food are some of life's many joys in Lia.

Grimm vs. Once Upon a Time: No More Happy Endings?
The producers of Felicity and Lost have come up with a new twist to fairytales through the new show debuting on ABC, Once Upon a Time. As an answer, NBC also came up with something of the sort. The makers of Angel Go Criminal and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have come up with the series Grimm.
Both of the series address the battle of good and bad in the modern times. The main point of Grimm is to create a crime and fairytale kind of story. On the other hand, in Once Upon a Time the drama starts when the Evil Queen curses Snow White, Prince Charming and their daughter along with other members of the world so that they won't have a happy ending.
In the first episode of Grimm, Nick Burkhart who is a detective finds out that he has an ancestry of criminal profilers that have the ability to see fairytale villains through their masks of regular people.
The drama Once Upon a Time shows two different worlds that collide and we find the characters of The Enchanted Forest getting into the world that we know.
When we are faced with two such similar drama series, it is almost impossible not to make comparison among them. While Grimm focuses on murders in their modern way, being committed by well-known fairytale wrongdoers, like the wolf of Little Red Riding Hood, Once Upon a Time brings the characters into the modern world while making no reference to their happy endings that we all know about.
In case of Once Upon a Time, the narrator is coming back and forth while telling the story between the modern world and the fairytale world. Nonetheless it looks like this is the structure that the drama needs. The cast seems to be a really good one and the special effects are also of very high quality. On the other hand, the actions in Grimm are predictable and very serious. Once Upon a Time is more like family fun and so it is able to grab the attention of the viewers of any age.
Grim combines the police shows with the supernatural elements and there might be no way for this combination to go wrong. The fairytale elements could bring the shows of this kind of new life. This way the show is able to offer more to the viewer than the regular criminal series out there.
