Stirling Moss is no doubt a famous an highly successful British racing driver. He was, in particular, very good at the wheel of the Mercedes formula racing Silver arrows or the W196 sports racing 300 SLR , in Targa Florio, Mille Miglia or Tourist Trophy in the 50's. 1955 sports car world championship was is cause. The Mercedes McLaren SLR launched in 2003 was a modern celebration of the 1955 W196 300 SLR, either in Uhlenhaut exclusive coupe or the racing sports car. A commemorative exclusive 150 Mercedes McLaren SLR 722 coupe followed with extra performance. The "722" came from Stirling Moss victory in Mille Miglia where his car was bearing that racing number. Then came the Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster followed by exclusive Mercedes McLaren SLR 722 S in only 150 units. Now that some 1700 Mercedes McLaren SLR have been sold, it is time for Mercedes Benz to celebrate the McLaren SLR with a final edition of 75 exclusive Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss. The exclusive car has no roof and no windscreen or window and cost 750.000 Euros; only existing McLaren SLR clients are eligible for purchasing the car as several of them were invited to participate in the development and testing of this exclusive last edition. Production of the Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster will end in June 2009 and production of the 75 SLR Stirling Moss special edition will then start. A total of around 1700 SLR models have been sold to date.
The Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss is claimed to be one of the unique open-top supercar to achieve a standing start from zero to 100 kph ((92 mph) in less than 3,5 seconds and a top speed of 350 kph.
The engine prepared by AMG is quoted with an output of 478 kW/ 650 hp, like the Mercedes McLaren SLR 722 exclusive series. It is a 5,5 litre V8 supercharged engine that is assembled by hand at Mercedes AMG. The body has been developed especially in wind tunnel. It is the lightest memeber of the SLR family with a curb weight of just 1551 kg. While sharing the same wheelbase lenght of 2700 mm, it is 164 mm longer and 7 mm wider than the other SLR models. Its styling features an elongated, prominent hood and a compact, muscular rear end and carry additional roll-over bars. Two air deflectors, embedded in aluminium borders, scarcely the height of a matchbox, yet aerodynamically optimized, direct the wind past the occupants.
The fenders boast powerful contours. Behind the front axle are two rhombic exhaust tailpipes on either side, each surrounded by a facetted, black ventilation grille which, in turn, is bordered by powerful contours. Likewise the hood features two black-painted ventilation grilles bordered by prominent, powerful edges. They are located at those point where vacuum occurs during driving. The slipstream they create helps to dissipate the engine heat. The car is closable using two covers which can be carried in the trunk. There is also an airbrake fitted, which the driver can raise manually in order to further increase downforce.
Mainy hours of work in the wind tunnel were required to optimize the SLR Stirling Moss with respects to handling and aerodynamics. But effort was worth it. Even at 350 kph, the car does not require an extendable rear spoiler, thanks mainly to the rear end which has been lowered by around 130 mm and assures a smooth, uniterrupted flow of air around the car's body.
Where is it possible to enjoy driving a 750.000 Euros exclusive car at 350 kph or experiment the zero to 100 kph in less than 3,5 seconds with no windscreen, no windows and not even a soft top. Sirling Moss surely knows.

The HP – Autonomy case: how Deloitte might have caused HP to lose billions
It was September 2011 when Hewlett-Packard's CEO Leo Apotheker agreed to acquire Autonomy, a British software company, for around $10.3 billion (£6.7 billion). The market pressure at the time forced HP to rush the deal as the company was dealing with a falling stock price and outstanding performance from its main competitors (IBM above all). This led to the acquisition for an astonishingly high 64% premium over the prior day's stock price.
Investors were skeptical of the acquisition from the beginning, and in hindsight the market had correctly anticipated that the deal was not going to create value for the acquirer's shareholders. Indeed, the year following the acquisition was full of turmoil for both HP and Autonomy: the software company's results failed to meet expectations and culture clashes between the huge and bureaucratic HP and the agile target arose. Finally, on November 20, 2012, HP announced that it was writing off $8.8 billion of the original $11 billion investment in Autonomy, recognizing the first net loss in 15 years.
Source: HP Annual Reports
The write-off triggered one of the biggest accounting scandals in British corporate history: Meg Whitman, former CEO of HP, accused Autonomy's founder and CEO at the time of the deal Mike Lynch of making false statements to investors about Autonomy's performance ahead of the sale. In particular, HP alleged that Lynch, together with his finance director Sushovan Hussain, was behind a fraudulent manipulation of the software company's accounts which led to HP paying an extra $5bn. Last year, Hussain was sentenced to five years in prison in the US for accounting fraud whereas Mr. Lynch is facing 17 charges of securities and wire fraud.
The independent accounting advisor for the deal was Deloitte, and HP relied on KPMG for the audits of the independent advisor. Inevitably, after the scandal broke out regulators began to investigate Deloitte and recently the Financial Reporting Council said Richard Knights, the former Deloitte partner in charge of auditing Autonomy, "consciously lost his objectivity" during a five-year relationship with the FTSE 100 company, and was "reckless" and "seriously misleading" in reports to regulators.
On Thursday, October the 10th, the eight-week tribunal in which the FRC is bringing disciplinary proceedings against Deloitte finally begun. The prosecutors claimed Deloitte failed to challenge the company's disclosure in relation to its treatment of reseller contracts, which resulted in a misleading picture of fast-growing revenues from profitable software sales.
The FRC has claimed Autonomy was actually incurring significant losses on sales of its hardware, inappropriately hiding them among sales and marketing costs. The fact that Autonomy was the most important client of the Deloitte office where the auditors worked clearly jeopardizes their independence and leads to believe that the auditing company was not skeptic enough over management's accounts.
On the other hand, Deloitte defended its position in court papers saying that its alleged lack of objectivity had been "brought on the flimsiest of bases". In particular, as regards the channel stuffing Autonomy has been accused of, Deloitte also said that its work "clearly demonstrated appropriate professional skepticism" and that it "diligently and properly evaluated the manner in which the costs of the lossmaking hardware sales were allocated."
Finally, HP is also suing Lynch and Hussain for $5bn damages through the civil courts in London. The trial is currently underway.

All about LeBron James All about NBA
NBA Rumors: Victor Oladipo tells LeBron James to join Pacers if he wants to win
All-Star Victor Oladipo recently suggested LeBron James needs to join him on the Indiana Pacers. - [Image via NBA / YouTube screencap]
The Most Improved Player in the league has suggested The King join him in Indiana.
by Matthew Couden (article and video)
Victor Oladipo recruits LeBron James for the Indiana Pacers - Video
The NBA rumors continue to revolve largely around the LeBron James sweepstakes this summer. Once The King makes his official decision, it's expected to have a domino effect on the rest of the league. LeBron's choice of team will have an impact on other teams trying to get better to compete. While it's been mentioned that only a handful of teams have a legitimate shot at landing LeBron James, it hasn't stopped other players from recruiting him. Among the latest to try to lure LeBron is Victor Oladipo of the Indiana Pacers.
Oladipo makes a pitch to LeBron
On Monday night (June 25), Victor Oladipo was leaving TAO in Los Angeles, shortly after winning some hardware. Oladipo was just named the 2018 NBA Most Improved Player. That was thanks in part to his achieving All-Star status now that he's the main star of the Pacers. Oladipo nearly led that Indiana team to a shocking upset of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but LeBron James ended up preventing it in Game 7.
"I want to dominate night-in and night-out, and I feel like I still have a lot of work to do to get there." - @VicOladipo https://t.co/f4EILPEgtN
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) June 26, 2018
Even as good as they are already, Oladipo knows the Indiana Pacers could use more help.
That's why when TMZ caught up with him on Monday, they mentioned that Sacramento Kings player Willie Cauley-Stein said: "LeBron's coming to the Lakers." TMZ asked Oladipo if he wanted to play with anyone in particular. Oladipo calmly said, "Tell LeBron to come to the Pacers." TMZ asked again if there's anyone in free agency that the Pacers star wanted. Oladipo smirked before replying, "Yeah, LeBron." He also added, "If you want to win, come to Indy!" as his pitch to the NBA superstar.
LeBron to Pacers unlikely
It's wishful thinking from the emerging NBA star. Victor Oladipo knows it would be hard to recruit Paul George back to the Indiana Pacers. After all, the Pacers had traded Paul for him and several other Oklahoma City Thunder players. That leaves other free agents available which could include DeMarcus Cousins, Clint Capela, and obviously, LeBron James.
However, as LeBron is deciding his future, it's hard to fathom that the Indiana Pacers are even one of the teams he's contemplating.
The city probably doesn't offer James an upgrade over playing in his current location of Cleveland or heading out to Magic's Lakers. Joining a star-studded roster such as the Philadelphia 76ers or Houston Rockets offers more of an upgrade toward winning a title than the Cavs currently have.
In addition, while Victor Oladipo is clearly a rising force in the league, it's hard to know if simply adding Lebron to that current roster would be enough.
After all, the Golden State Warriors seem to be holding their team together and look like they'll continue to wreak havoc on the league. That's why LeBron James is thinking long and hard over his next move. It could very well involve bringing Paul George, Chris Paul, or another star along with him to wherever he goes.
Still, the possibilities are always fun to imagine and most players in the league realize that just by having a guy named "LeBron James" on their roster, they move into that elite contender conversation.
One can't blame Oladipo for trying!

As we survey the Bitcoin space, we invariably find gems of creativity that are fun, interesting, or just plain useful, so we decided to share those gems with you. Today, I want to share a few versions of the same idea: transaction visualizers. There's not much utility in these, but they are nonetheless kind of fun to watch and, in some cases, listen to.
If you ever thought you were living in the Matrix, this might just prove the point. This is an interesting take on a transaction monitor, displaying transaction matrix style.
This one is kind of glitch. I could only get it to work on my browser for a few seconds at a time, but it's still kind of fun to play with. I hope the developers work out the bugs in the code or their matrix might not be around too long.
This one is pretty simple. Transactions appear as bubbles on a timeline and their height above the line shows how many bitcoins they represent. Again, pretty fun just to leave open in a window as you work to get a sense of how active the Bitcoin community is.
This one has been around for a long time and is the best visualizer I've found yet. As transactions come in, they form a bubble at the bottom of the window and then float gently up. Each bubble shows how many bitcoins are in that transaction. Also, as each bubble appears, a bell will ring with tones ranging from a tiny tinkle for small transactions to huge booms for large ones.
This one is interesting as it shows where transactions might be originating from in real time. I'm a little suspicious of their algorhythm as the transactions seem to be a little too well grouped, but again, a really interesting idea and really interesting to sit and watch.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of Bitcoin Globe as there is no explanation or key given.

Southwestern College Students Struggle With Homelessness
January 25, 2017 by At Large
By Cristofer Garcia / The Southwestern College Sun
Photo credit IACAC
Georgia really wanted to earn a good grade in a class she loved. So she turned on the overhead light and spread her books across the dashboard of her car. It was cold, her mother was asleep and they were parked near the Chula Vista Marina. Georgia was homeless, but loved being a college student.
Georgia (a pseudonym) is a 19-year-old nursing student and one of the 32 percent of California college students experiencing housing insecurity. A recent study by the College Equity Assessment Lab (CCEAL), a research lab under the Interwork Institute at San Diego State University, found that homeless students across California are silently facing a grim struggle to survive.
Southwestern College is no stranger to the problem.
Georgia recalled the brutal year she spent as a hungry homeless student with her family of six sleeping in two cars.
"It wasn't easy for me," she said. "Every morning I was waking up at six and going to the park and rinsing off in the sink water. It was the coldest time of the year."
When she was 17 her family moved to Southern California and she started at SWC. They were living with a relative until problems arose and the family suddenly found itself with nowhere to go.
"We were just like, 'This happened, what do we do now?'" she said.
Fearing custody loss of Georgia's baby cousin, her mother reached out to government resources that helped the family find a safe parking zone in Chula Vista. They spent most of their time there before it was closed down. Georgia and her family started parking in a lot between J Street and Marina Parkway because "that's where all the other homeless people were at," she said. They found a place to live last October, but Georgia said the obstacles she faced as a homeless student were taxing.
"There were plenty of times that we didn't eat," she said. "Like, 'Oh we don't have (food) today, oh well. What are we going to do?' I thought about begging for money."
Georgia said she decided to study at SWC instead of Grossmont College on recommendation of her former high school counselor. SWC became an escape from her problems when she was homeless, she said.
"We had each other, but we were living in our (two) cars and it was really cold," she said. "I always felt depressed, but when I came to school it was always like Southwestern had this environment. It's so cheerful and I don't know how to describe it. It was my getaway. I would stay here for long hours and I still do because I like being here."
An English professor Georgia confided in was quick to point her to people who could help her.
"I wrote a paper in English class and my professor said to see her after class and then she asked me about (being homeless) and I told her," she said. "She did her best to help me and continues to do so. It was my first year in college and I didn't know anybody."
Her situation was not unique.
ASO Senator-at-Large Roy Castillo is the Region X representative for the Student Senate of California Community Colleges. He said he has made it a priority to help students who face housing insecurity, including more than 30 this year.
"Seeing the devotion, motivation and determination in these students really encouraged me even more to be a student advocate for them," he said.
One of the students he recently helped reminded him of the importance of actively reaching out, said Castillo.
"It was quite clear to me that this individual had said to her professor that she was homeless," he said. "The reason why the student wasn't able to feel comfortable to chime in and talk was because she hadn't eaten for four days. Due to her situation, because she didn't have any proper support, she wasn't able to do the basic necessity of just showering. When she stated to her professor that it was her fourth day, I literally broke down in tears. This broke my heart due to the fact that no student should ever have to deal with such a hard situation by themselves."
Dean of Student Services Dr. Malia Flood said the college is aware there is a problem with students facing housing and food insecurity. College officials are developing strategies to provide necessary resources she said.
"We're on the right track," she said. "I was looking at the recommendations for practice on the CCEAL report and I thought we're (already) doing a lot of this, so it's good. Of course there's always more to do, but we're doing a lot of this."
Flood said students who seek help with housing or food insecurity often report anxiety and stress, which can affect their concentration and retention. Her findings are in line with the CCEAL report, which found that "students with food insecurity are significantly less likely to feel confident in their academic abilities (or) feel a sense of control in academic matters."
Flood said it is hard to estimate the number of homeless students at SWC because the college does not ask that question when students are filling out applications. She said the school is mostly dependent on students self-reporting their situation when they seek out services.
California has the largest homeless population in the United States at 118,142, according to an annual report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. San Diego County was the county with the fourth largest homeless population in the country and the second largest homeless veteran population.
Flood said the campus food pantry opened earlier this semester is busy and is an indication of the challenges faced by many students.
"I think there's a lot of need on campus," she said. "(The food pantry) confirms that need."
Flood said she is forming a student housing insecurity committee in the spring semester. It will include student representatives as well as Angel Salazar, the financial aid liaison for homeless students. Dean of Athletics Jim Spillers is a key member, Flood said, because he will help make shower facilities available to homeless students as required by Assembly Bill 1995.
Castillo said the legislation was a crucial step to create a more welcoming environment and that SWC has been out front on this issue.
"AB 1995 is creating a stepping stone to start recognizing that homeless students are individuals just like you and me," he said. "I feel Southwestern College is going to make a revolutionary impact by helping those students that need the most help."
Student feedback is also important, Castillo said.
"Many (students) don't feel comfortable to speak up on that particular topic due to the fact that it's so taboo," he said. "We, as a modern society, have to address food shortages. There's always room for that discussion."
Georgia said societal stigmas related to homelessness blunt discussion.
"It can happen to anybody," she said. "I know people stereotype all kinds of homeless people (as) drug addicts… it's not like that. We had a five year old with us and she didn't need to go through that, but we were all going through it and it's not because we were drug addicts. It's just financial issues and we couldn't live with the person (we were living with) anymore."
The nursing student said resources like the food pantry and AB 1955 would have been helpful to her, though she also said counselors should take a larger role in identifying the problem.
"Every student here has to go to the counselor at one point and time," she said. "I feel like the job of the counselor is to ask them personal questions also… that's their duty. I feel like counselors now are more focused on (finishing) your educational plan and get out. You have to seek them, they're not seeking you. It's kind of hard."
She said her rough patch made her want to become a tutor at SWC. She now works at the Academic Success Center as a mentor.
"Every day you hear somebody at work, in the streets or school saying 'Oh damn I didn't do my homework.' I look at them and wish I could tell them my story. I had to stay up late at night, I'd beg a lady from church to let me stay at her house for a little while just so I could do my homework. Then I hear people having all these excuses. Things happen, but people make an excuse for everything. I just want to tell people excuses are not valid. I just want to change the mentality of people."

Many of us do not think about college students being homeless. This article opened my eyes to another aspect of being homeless. Thank you.

Tragic and hopeful. Thank you to those who help and the determination of these students.

Q: Programaticly Textbox to Gridview without DataSource I have a TextBox and a Gridview.
<asp:Textbox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ></asp:Textbox>

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
        </asp:GridView>

Without DataSource, how can i add in my .cs file programaticly just TextBox1.Text to Gridview's first column?
GridView1.Columns[1].ToString() = TextBox1.Text like that example

A: Ok, try this. This will set the first cell of the first row to value of your textbox:
GridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Text = TextBox1.Text;

Remember that columns and rows are accessed with zero-based index, so the first cell of the second row is accessed like this:
GridView1.Rows[1].Cells[0].Text

A: Are you looking for a way of processing information when there is no data? If so, you can use the EmptyDataTemplate in the GridView and access that programmatically to display the values of your TextBox.
If there is simply no "bound" data to use, the GridView is going to require some kind of data source with at least one entry to function and display properly. However, you can easily add some dummy data in order to enable the functionality of your GridView and then you can tweak it to your heart's content.
Assuming you have a button to initiate the post back (or you can use the OnTextChanged event of your TextBox) simply add the following code.
List<string> dummyList = new List<string>(){""};
GridView1.DataSource = dummyList;
GridView1.DataBind();

Note: The list object is just a quick and easy way of using a placeholder for a data source for the GridView. If you really are going to work with multiple columns, I'd recommend creating a simple DataTable with the columns that you will need, insert and empty row, and bind with that. It eliminates the hassle of having to create all of your columns programmatically.
Then in your GridView's RowDataBound event, you can work with the GridView as much as you like.
if (e.Row.RowType -= DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
   e.Row.Cells(0).Text = TextBox1.Text;
}

L'etilestrenolo è un farmaco a struttura steroidea dotato, alle dosi terapeutiche, di azione anabolizzante, ma con quasi nulla attività androgena. Il farmaco presenta anche una lieve azione progestinica.
L'etilestrenolo è un derivato del nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) mancante del gruppo funzionale 3-keto. Dato che il farmaco, a differenza del nandrolone, può essere assunto per via orale, in alcuni paesi è stato commercializzato con il nome di Orabolin, a sottolinearne appunto la via di somministrazione.
Il farmaco si è dimostrato in grado di potenziare l'attività fibrinolitica dell'organismo: si tratta in altre parole di un profibrinolitico che potrebbe trovare applicazione nella prevenzione delle malattie trombotiche, in particolare nei soggetti affetti da documentata sindrome ipofibrinolitica.

Usi clinici
L'etilestrenolo è stato impiegato in tutte le condizioni in cui si rende necessaria un'azione anabolizzante, ad esempio negli stati convalescenziali. Ampio impiego ha avuto anche nel trattamento dell'osteoporosi per la sua capacità di promuovere la ricostruzione della matrice ossea.
Negli anni 60 fu ampiamente utilizzato in età pediatrica per l'anoressia ed i disturbi alimentari degli adolescenti.
Il farmaco è stato inoltre utilizzato per antagonizzare gli effetti catabolizzanti degli ormone surrenalici.
Negli anni 80 vi è stato un ritorno di interesse verso questa sostanza per la comparsa di alcuni studi clinici che ne sottolineavano l'efficacia nel bloccare la progressione di alcune malattie autoimmunitarie, tra cui il lupus eritematoso sistemico e la sindrome di Sjögren.

Effetti collaterali
Gli effetti collaterali dell'etilestrenolo sono simili a quelli del testosterone, ma con un'incidenza più bassa.
L'effetto collaterale più grave è rappresentato dall'ittero colestatico. Dosi elevate possono indurre effetti progestinici come nausea, vomito, ritenzione idrica e amenorrea.

Controindicazioni
È controindicato in caso di carcinoma prostatico, e dev'essere usato con cautela nei soggetti affetti da disturbi epatici.

Q: Very dark screen in live USB session with lenovo laptop I am trying out Ubuntu on a Lenovo laptop with a live USB. The USB also has Ventoy installed onto it.
When I boot into Ubuntu, everything goes fine up until I use the "Try Ubuntu" option. The screen will flash for a second and go to the desktop but everything is very dark or black with some red. I'm kind of able to use it but it is impossible to see anything.
I tried to install drivers through safe mode but it did not work. I've also used the official website to download the .ISO.
The USB I'm using is an EMTEC 16 GB USB flash drive. I've also tried using budgie with the same results.
Video demonstration of what's going on: https://youtu.be/7T7-ZECJ4wM
Here's the specs for the laptop I'm using:
CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) 1.60GHz

Cromer is a typical fishermen town located on the heart of the North Norfolk coastline. Steeped in history and world famous for it's Cromer crab, a delicacy which is harvested just off the coastline along a chalk reef. The delicious brown crab is exported all over the world for its rich taste. Cromer came to popularity in Victorian times when the train line was built to serve the town. The train would bring holiday makers from London to its beautiful beaches.
Much can be seen of the Victorian era with many of the buildings and houses dating from that era still in the town. The famous author Clement Scott wrote about his love of Cromer giving the area its name of "Poppyland" which it is still referred to today. The town relies on tourism swelling the population during the summer months. Comers' famous carnival held in August is one of the UK's largest carnivals held every year. Cromer has excellent transport links to Norwich and beyond.

Trade-offs between time, predation risk and life history, and their implications for biogeography: A systems modelling approach with a primate case study
Bettridge C., Lehmann J., Dunbar RIM.
Group sizes are often considered to be the result of a trade-off between predation risk and the costs of feeding competition. We develop a model to explore the interaction between different ecological constraints on group sizes, using a primate (baboons) case study. The model uses climatic correlates of time budgets to predict maximum ecologically tolerable group size, and climatic predictors of predation risk (reflected mainly in predator density and female body mass) to predict minimum tolerable group size for any given habitat. As well as defining the range of sustainable group sizes for a given habitat, the model also allows us to reliably predict our exemplar taxon's biogeographical distribution across Africa. We also explore the life history implications of the model to ask whether baboons form group sizes which maximise survival or fecundity in the classic trade off between these two key life history variables. Our results indicate that, within the range of study sites in our sample, baboons prefer to maximise fecundity. However, the data indicate that in higher predation risk habitats they would switch to maximising survival at the expense of fecundity. We argue that this is due to the fact that interbirth interval and developmental rates have a ceiling that cannot be breached. Thus, while females can shorten interbirth intervals to compensate for increased predation risk, there is a limit to how much these life history variables can be altered, and when this is reached the best strategy is to maximise survivorship. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Q: How to display System Date & Time on UIButton? I'm newer in iOS and I tried below code to show the system time on Label. Same I want to display on button.
NSDate *currDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd.MM.YY HH:mm:ss"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate];
[date_time setText:dateString];

//date_time is my Label.
Above code works perfectly but to display on button I used the below code but cudn't work for Button
NSDate *currDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd.MM.YY HH:mm:ss"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate];

[date_time setTitle:dateString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//date_time is name of Button

A: use NSDate *date =  [NSDate alloc] init];
which get current date.
suppose you have button instance myButton ,
then
[myButton setTitle: NSString stringwithformat:@"%@",[date] forState: UIControlStateNormal];

then on button selector initializxe your date picker and on date picker delegate selector mehod set your button title again,
ex,
[myButton setTitle:NSString stringwithformat:@"%@",[datepicker.date] forState: UIControlStateNormal];

hope this helps you

A: If you want the button's title to reflect the system date and time and update with each passing second, you'll need to create an NSTimer that runs once a second and changes the button's title. Take a look at the method scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:target:selector:userInfo:repeats:
If you want the time to update every second on the second it's a little tricky to start your timer on the second. I can show you some code to do that if you'd like.
Since you want to replace the current time with a user-selected time when the user clicks your button, you would stop the timer when the user selects a new date/time.

Naval Activity During The War Of 1812
The United States Navy during the War of 1812 was just starting out, a relatively young Naval force made up of frigates consisting only of 22 commissioned vessels. By contrast the British Royal Navy had nearly 85 vessels in American Waters in the months before actual war broke out. The Standard British Warship had 38 mounted guns and other large guns including huge 18-pound cannon.
While the American Warships were out manned in numbers, they made up for it in Firepower. The American warships of the era, the USS United States, the USS President, and the USS Constitution were ships that carried 44 guns apiece, and their main guns were larger than the British typical Frigate firepower, with 24-pound cannon.
In early fighting, the three American Warships, along with the other 19 vessels in the American Fleet were surprisingly successful in their early matchups with British Warships. Their successful use caused Great Britain to immediately commission five new warships; each with 40 guns and each of the guns were the newer, heavier 24-pound cannon similar to the American Cannon. Britain was attempting to protect its ships to and from Halifax and Canada, and to try and disrupt the Americans with an Atlantic blockade. While the Atlantic blockade was for the most part successful, the American efforts spurred the British to pour more ships and men into the action. Despite superior numbers, the American Navy ships were successful because of their greater physical size and for the most part heavier cannon and guns.

This War was the first testing of the new American Nation, and while it was never a clear victory on either side, the willingness of the American Navy to fight to the last man, where necessary, convinced an increasingly war weary Britain to sue for peace. The American Coastline had been largely blockaded, but was still breached at regular intervals by an increasingly successful U.S. Navy effort. The war became a milestone around the necks of British Citizens, causing a slowdown of their economy and a huge expense to keep the blockade going. Finally in December 1814, on Christmas Eve representatives met in Ghent, Belgium (was then United Kingdom of the Netherlands) and signed the Treaty of Ghent. The American Congress later ratified it on February 16th, 1815. Only because of the willingness of American Forces, both Army and U.S. Navy had led to the willingness of the United Kingdom to settle for Peace.

But her neighbor makes a recommendation to call for help a detective to help her in this.
But we need money to pay with a detective. She decides to raise farm unusual flowers. These magical flowers bloom for one day, and often give results. Right now we begin to grow magic flowers on our farm, which one day can flourish and bear fruit a few times. First, you need to buy and plant flowers in the various options made the hole.
When they bloom should be this second compile them. But we must not forget Watering of flowers. Everything would be fine if pests are not trying to ruin the exotic plants. Angry wasps, huge mutant snails and even a ghost trying to discourage us. Rakes or other tools We will kill them. Then bring the flowers in the shop, earning money first. Business gradually expanding and we are able to call the detective to search for the missing mother and father. But money is not enough, therefore it is necessary to expand the business. To aid in this difficult business a good neighbor, leaving, gives us a funny dragon, whose name is Robin. To increase the business should buy a new landing sites magic plants, different and even build a well. A girl learns to deal with pests, but when you come to a certain level, you can improve this or that ability, as girls, and Robin. Developing the game, we go to another city where we continue our search. They buy a new farm and begin to grow even more magical flowers. Slowly we are meeting all the necessary steps and find the girl's father and mother. Arcade game Magic Farm is popular among fans of casual games with elements of logic.
Often a situation arises when an urgent need to connect to a remote computer, which is up to you at a great distance. Most often, the remote access is used to optimize the system administrators large geographically distributed companies. But a simple user, too often there is a need to organize remote access. There are a lot of programs offering connection to Remote Desktop, moreover, the possibility of such a connection is provided by the operating system. Among the sea of programs very easy to use and setup, in our view, is – Radmin. It program has a high speed, even with slow Internet channel.
In addition, using Radmin, you can run on another computer, all types of applications until you install the operating system. Detailed description of the program and its settings can be found under the program on your computer. To connect to Remote Desktop on a Windows Vista with a standard program (by default built into Windows), should do the following: – Click on the Start button – then right-click on the line computer, a popup menu, select Properties;-In opened window select – Dial-up – Be sure to check whether against the item "prohibit connection to this computer" check box, if so, it must be removed;-Configure user accounts by clicking on the button – the "select users";-tab "Remote Assistance" enable Remote Assistance connection – on the tab "Remote" in the dialog box "System Properties" menu appears, click here to add, to add users and granting them privileges Remote Desktop; In order to make the connection, you need to know his name, or IP-address. Learn the name of the property may be looking under "Computer" in the "Start" menu. To start a connection to Remote Desktop, click the "Start", "All Programs", "Standard", "Remote Desktop". Next, enter the name or IP-address, and click "Connect". That is, in principle, and all the wiring diagram for remote computer. In our view, the implementation of remote access is much easier to organize with the help of programs like Radmin. But the final choice is yours, every man to his own taste.

Thunbergia alata
A long-lived vine growing up to 5 m in height. Its slender stems are green and hairy when young. Its paired leaves (2-8 cm long and 1-4.5 cm wide) are borne on narrowly winged stalks. Its tubular flowers (3-4 cm wide) are borne singly in the upper leaf forks on stalks 30-95 mm long. These flowers are usually orange or yellow with a black throat and have two leafy bracts at their bases. Its fruit has a rounded base (5-10 mm across) containing the seeds and an elongated beak (9-15 mm long).
Also known as: black eyed Susan, black-eye Susan vine, clockvine,
Native/Exotic
Native to tropical and southern Africa (i.e. the Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, South Africa and Swaziland).
Notifiable
Council declaration
Class R – Reduce populations
Known distribution
It has become widely naturalised in the coastal districts of eastern Australia (i.e. in the coastal districts of eastern Queensland and eastern New South Wales). Also naturalised in south-western Western Australia. Naturalised overseas in southern USA (i.e. Texas and Florida), Papua New Guinea and on several Pacific islands (i.e. Fiji, Guam, Western Samoa and Hawaii).
A weed of waterways (i.e. riparian vegetation), urban bushland, forest margins, plantation crops, roadsides, disturbed sites and waste areas in tropical, sub-tropical and warmer temperate regions.
A long-lived (i.e. perennial) herbaceous climber growing up to 5 m in height.
Impact and control methods
Complete removal
Black-eyed Susan (Thunbergia alata) is regarded as an environmental weed in New South Wales and Queensland. It is also a potential environmental weed or "sleeper weed" in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. For more information see the Queensland Government's web page
Stem and leaves
Its slender stems are green and hairy (i.e. pubescent) when young. The oppositely arranged leaves are borne on narrowly winged stalks (i.e. petioles) 1.5-6 cm long. These leaves (2-8 cm long and 1-4.5 cm wide) are egg-shaped in outline (i.e. ovate) or arrow-shaped (i.e. hastate or saggitate) with entire to toothed (i.e. dentate) margins and pointed tips (i.e. acuminate, acute or mucronate apices). Their upper surfaces are mostly hairless (i.e. glabrous) or slightly hairy (i.e. puberulous), while their undersides are hairy along their veins.
The flowers are borne singly in the upper leaf forks on stalks (i.e. pedicels) 30-95 mm long. These tubular flowers (3-4 cm wide) are predominantly orange or yellow with a black throat. There are two leafy bracts (12-20 mm long) at the base of each flower, which can be easily mistaken for sepals. They also have 11-14 tiny sepals that are joined together into a calyx 2-3 mm long. Their petals are fused into a tube (i.e. corolla tube) 15-25 mm long with five spreading petal lobes (10-15 mm long). Each flower also has four stamens and an ovary topped with a style and stigma. Flowering occurs throughout the year, but is most abundant during spring and summer. The fruit capsule has a rounded (i.e. globular) base (5-10 mm across) containing the seeds and an elongated beak (9-15 mm long). This capsule is finely hairy (i.e. tomentose) and turns from green to brown as it matures. The seeds (about 4 mm across) are warty and ribbed.
Reproduction and dispersal
This species reproduces by seed, and vegetatively by fragments of stems and roots.Seeds and plant fragments can be spread in dumped garden waste. They can also be spread by water and vehicles.

Oral History -> CSHL -> Research -> Waclaw Szybalski on Scientific Work—Multiple Therapy Drug
Scientific Work—Multiple Therapy Drug (Waclaw Szybalski)
Waclaw Szybalski Biography
I was supported by the American Tuberculosis Association. So my duty was to develop the genetics of micro bacterial tuberculosis. I started on it, but I very soon decided that it was not for me. It took one month to grow a colony of micro bacterium in addition was dangerous (laughter). And it was very difficult so I started to work with micro bacterium bi-annie, (unclear, please clarify) which is another micro bacterium which made a colony in two days so I developed [the] genetics of that. But obviously I started to do work also with E. coli and then I worked with streppococculus and developed genetics of four or five type of bacteria at this time. And also, I mainly decided to study genetics of antibiotic resistance, because at that time it became [a] very important field because antibiotics started to fail because of resistance. I thought we would find the genetics of that so that was what I was working on here for these few years. And the main achievement I got which is something which is now being rediscovered over and over—to use multiple drug therapy, not to use one antibiotic. Maybe two and three and four—now they discovered that for AIDS—that you have to do a cocktail and they say the guy should get a Nobel Prize for it. (Please verify who this person is) But he's just repeating what we have done, but it was very difficult at that time to convince doctors that they should use several because I published several papers showing that the mutation rate of two drugs is probable mutation Rac1 and others so that means extremely rare. And you shouldn't use one drug, and second, and third because then you get progressively resistant if you use all at the same time. It's much better so, we publish a paper. I decided to get several important people some of whom were medical so they would cosign the paper so to make the paper famous in [the] Journal of American Medical Association—that all antibiotics should be used in pair or three or four at the same time. Like for TB, [with] which I was working, every time somebody uses less than four or five at the same time. But when I started, the doctors were against it cause they would say they have trouble with toxicity of one antibiotic and we couldn't use two because it would be much worse or three, that's absolutely…but they said you could use less so you don't notice, and actually they were using four or five at lower doses they have much less toxicity. So that was generally adopted to the cocktail. So this was my contribution of Cold Spring Harbor days, the antibiotic cocktail, and I had a friend in Sloan Kettering, Burginal who worked with leukemia. And at that time leukemia survival was a few months for a cat, for kids, it was 100% dead. And with one of the anti-cancer drugs it was a little longer because the resistance developed and I gave a lot of trials, I convinced to use three and four at the same time, since then leukemia is a curable disease though I consider that also a contribution of Cold Spring Harbor from my time. Cause he [Burginal?] was coming here—So people were coming from New York and other places to learn things at Cold Spring Harbor at that time. We supplied inspiration.

Fiber broadband uptake reaches global milestone
Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP
Global July 11 2008
Statistics compiled by British research concern Point Topic show that, during the first quarter of 2008, new subscriptions to fiber optic broadband services outpaced those of cable providers for the first time. Released late last week, the Point Topic study tallies 4.2 million new fiber broadband customers worldwide during the first three months of 2008 as compared to 2.5 million new subscriptions to cable modem services. China, the second largest broadband market in the world, added the lion's share of new fiber subscriptions at 2.5 million and was followed by Japan, South Korea and the U.S., which counted 303,000 new fiber subscribers. Terming these statistics as "significant," Point Topic CEO Oliver Johnson said the report demonstrates that, "where [fiber] is available, consumers will take fiber over other broadband technologies." Johnson added that the per-megabit cost of fiber in comparison to cable and DSL appears to be driving the growth of fiber broadband services as "DSL can cost the consumer more than 15 times as much as fiber . . . and cable is seven times as expensive." Although Verizon Communications' FiOS service dominates the U.S. fiber broadband sector with 1.8 million customers, Johnson noted that fiber deployment in the U.S. and in Europe is slow in relation to other global markets. Citing the expense of fiber deployment and the presence of "significant regulatory hurdles" in the U.S. and Europe, Johnson explained: "it is difficult to persuade operators to make the sort of commitment needed when they can't guarantee their returns."

Five-goal first period leads Sabres over Devils
Jack Eichel had a goal and two assists, and the Buffalo Sabres used a five-goal first period to beat the New Jersey Devils 7-1 Monday night.
Jack Eichel , The Canadian Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It was a day worth celebrating for the Buffalo Sabres.
On the team's 50th birthday as a franchise, the Sabres scored five goals in the first period on their way to a 7-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night.
It was an offensive explosion that had been a long time in the works, according to coach Ralph Krueger.
"The last six games before this really had been games of good habits, and a lot of the offence that we were starting to create hadn't really functioned that well with goals," Krueger said. "I thought we had a deserved first period, kind of like the fruit of the labour from the week before almost seemed to pay off. We were hot."
Jack Eichel had one goal and two assists, Johan Larsson had three assists, and Conor Sheary snapped a 19-game goal drought by scoring twice.
"We talked about coming out hard and playing our game and I think we did," said forward Rasmus Asplund. "But I think what we really did good was when we scored a couple goals there, we just stayed with the game plan and kept going. Five in a period, it just shows what character we have."
Asplund, Jeff Skinner, Victor Olofsson and Henri Jokiharju also scored for Buffalo, which improved to 13-10-5. Linus Ullmark made 44 saves.
The celebratory mood began before the game when the team honoured original owners Seymour H. Knox III and brother Northrup R. Knox, now deceased. Members of the Knox family, including Seymour's widow Jean, were honoured with golden pucks before the game by current Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula. Buffalo was awarded an expansion team on Dec. 2, 1969.
Eichel got Buffalo going with his 17th of the season 2:46 into the game. Skinner made it 2-0 two minutes later off a turnover in the Devils end. Larsson forced the turnover, and Skinner buried a wrist shot for his 11th goal.
Sheary ended a 19-game goal drought on a one-timer 6:57 into the first, then added his fifth of the season with 3:19 remaining in the period on a poor effort from Devils goalie Louis Domingue. Domingue got a pad on Sheary's shot, sending the puck high into the air before it eventually fell behind him into the net.
Asplund completed Buffalo's first-period flurry to make it 5-0 with 58 seconds left on his first NHL goal. One day before his 22nd birthday, Asplund scored on a long shot from the bottom of the left circle.
"It's a relief, of course," Asplund said. "I think I've been playing really well the last couple games, I'm creating a lot of chances. I knew it was close and I got it."
Domingue was pulled for New Jersey after allowing five goals on 15 shots. He was replaced by Mackenzie Blackwood, who made 15 saves.
It was hardly the effort the Devils were looking for with a difficult four-game trip around the corner. Before that, they have a quick turnaround with a home game against Vegas on Tuesday.
"I'm running out of things to say as to why we're playing like that," forward Taylor Hall said. "It's hard. It's a tough pill to swallow and it's everyone in here. It's too bad. We have the players in here to play a lot better than that. We've got to step it up."
Nico Hischier got New Jersey on the board 8:10 into the second with a power-play goal, scoring from close range.
New Jersey fell to 9-13-4 with the loss.
"First period was not close to being good enough in any area and obviously the scoreboard said it and it's unacceptable," Devils coach John Hynes said. "We've got to figure out particularly, like, tonight what went on in the first period and why we came out like that."
NOTES: No. 1 overall pick Jack Hughes remains out with a lower-body injury and did not travel to Buffalo. This was his second consecutive game missed. He's considered day to day. ... Sabres RW Kyle Okposo returned to practice Monday for the first time since being concussed Nov. 26. Okposo said he expects to return to the lineup during the team's upcoming trip. ... C John Hayden and D Mirco Mueller were scratched for New Jersey. ... LW Evan Rodrigues, C Curtis Lazar and C Jean-Sebastien Dea were scratched for Buffalo.
Devils: Return home to play the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday.
Sabres: Begin a three-game West Coast road trip in Calgary on Thursday.

A Story of Hope
Alumni,Interviews,Placements |
By G. Soundarya Roja (B.E Computer Science, 2012-2016)
Acceptance and confidence in oneself can either make you or break you. Having born in a rural area and having studied in a government school had never made him regret or feel like he has lost anything in life. His father, not being a learned man himself, has not deprived his children of education in any means. Battling his own wars, he has always stood as an unshakable source of inspiration to his son. The proud son, Madan Allampati ( M.Tech IT, 2013-2015) of the proud father is now placed in DE Shaw. He was not a person who always had his eyes glued to text books. His interests include watching movies, swimming and playing chess.
Madan was one among us before he spread his wings wide and flew into the sky in flying colors. Though he had failed to get placed immediately after his under graduation, he went on to do his M.Tech IT in PSG College of Technology. Fighting depression, he chose the positive when he had open choices and decided to go strong. His path was definitely not a bed of roses. He studied vigorously during his second degree, focusing on his academics. Framing time tables and following them meticulously was something he was perfect and brilliant at. Studying two hours every morning for GATE exams, the evenings witnessed him concentrating on his academics. He has also done a notable project on computer networks titled, "Host to host congestion control for TCP" in his under graduation.
Like every other candidate, he felt chills running down his spine during the interview, but, what kept him going was his goal to get placed that gave him the strength and confidence to face the questions from 4 rounds. The first round had 20 questions to be solved in a time period of 20 minutes. Next two rounds were technical that were subject oriented with the level of questions advancing. The last round that followed was a general discussion round. Before every round started, fear and confidence filled his head up and after every round ended; fear and determination to do better gushed in. When the final results were announced, happy tears rolled down his eyes, giving him a flashback of his struggles throughout his journey.
He would like to take this platform to pour his heart out and thank his parents who stood by his side through thick and thin, his HOD Dr. K R Chandran and faculty members who encouraged and guided him with good hearts. They are the ones, he says, who corrected him when he went wrong and appreciated him when he excelled. Though his stay at PSG Tech was limited, he had learned a lot and made a lot of friends who were always there to pat his shoulders whenever he felt low. He exclaims that it is a blessing to land in one of the reputed institutions in India, where you are provided with all valuable resources which many other colleges don't provide. The institute stands out among the top few institutions in the list when placements are taken into consideration. It is very important that students realize this and make use of this opportunity to the maximum for their very own good. Seeking support from faculty comes along in the process.
He expects a challenging and responsible role that would give him an excellent start in his career. He is all set and ready to go any lengths to meet the needs of his role in the company, thereby helping the company progress. He wishes to earn the respect he deserves. The Bridge hopes that stories like his would inspire everybody to stay focused on their goals and work hard towards the same.
G.SOUNDARYA ROJA (B.E CSE, 2012-2016) is an enthusiastic programmer and an admirer of literature and traditional music. Everyday learning more and adding on to the knowledge is her strategy.

Some 70 flights were cancelled in Madrid and tens of thousands of schoolchildren around Spain had to skip class Monday as snow fell heavily over much of the country.
The airport in the Spanish capital was forced to close two of its four runways, leading to the cancellation of 70 flights, a spokeswoman for airport management company Aena told AFP.
The runways were reopened later in the day, she said.
In the central region of Castilla-La Mancha, more than 38,000 students stayed home as schools and bus routes were closed, the regional government said.
In other regions in Spain's northwest and northeast, several thousand schoolchildren also avoided class because of the snow.
Railway lines and roads across the country were also closed due to the weather.
This is just the latest snow-induced disruption to hit Spain.
Last month, authorities deployed 250 soldiers to help rescue thousands of people trapped in their vehicles by heavy snow on a highway near Madrid.

Home Music Melvin Benn Confident Electric Picnic Festival Will Go Ahead In September
Melvin Benn Confident Electric Picnic Festival Will Go Ahead In September
Credit electricpicnic.ie
Electric Picnic boss Melvin Benn has said that he is confident that his three day EP Festival will return to Stradbally this September. He also said that it should go ahead in much the same way as previous years.
This comes as a series of pilot events for live music took place in Liverpool recently, something which Benn was encouraged by. Check out more on the pilot gigs in Liverpool here.
Benn had also recently said that he was hopeful of the music festivals in both Leeds and Reading going ahead as planned.
"This is a pilot event and I've been pushing to create something like this for a year now", he said. "What I've been saying for the whole year is, if we adequately test people before they come into a gig, there's no reason why the gig can't happen", he said. More on that here.
"Can see no reason why it wouldn't be" – Benn on EP return
"I can see no reason why it wouldn't be?", Benn said when asked if he could see Electric Picnic returning this year.
"I can see no reason why the Irish government, wouldn't be saying, 'You can be back to normal by August, or in August'. The event in Liverpool was extraordinarily similar, it felt like you were in 2019, pre-Covid", he continued.
Speaking again about the pilot events in Liverpool, Benn added, "It felt normal. Of course, there was additional hand sanitisation but in the knowledge that everyone had been tested everyone was super comfortable".
"Up and running by August"
MCD boss Dennis Diamond also echoed Melvin Benn's hopes of a return of live events to Ireland, saying that he is hopeful outdoor events could be "up and running by August".
"We have two sold-out concerts, in Cork at Pairc Ui Chaoimh. It is the third weekend in August with 70,000 tickets sold", Diamond revealed.
Diamond also said that he was hopeful that people will be able to attend sporting events such as All Ireland Final Day.
"If we saw an All Ireland Final with a full capacity that would be a huge result. We have to save at least part of our summer this year and I would sincerely hope that, not just for concerts, that's for sporting events, marathons, the ploughing championships, the people need to do something for the summer, we can't have a second summer with nothing".
He also added, "I think the priority has to be outdoor, and an ideal scenario would be indoor shows happening at reduced capacity and we do some tests and we do the pilots".
You can also see what the CMO Dr Tony Holohan and Minister Catherine Martin had to say on the possibility of live events returning to Ireland here.

This project is based on another project called the JEL scripting language for VB5/6. I edited some things to fix some bugs and add some extra features (if I recall correctly). The premise was to create scriptable trainers in VB6 that users whom are not familiar with full on programming could use to make simple trainers.
