Title: Impact of open de-ionized water thin film laminar immersion on the liquid immersed ablation threshold and ablation rate of features machined by KrF excimer laser ablation of bisphenol A polycarbonate.
Citation: DOWDING, C.F. and LAWRENCE, J., 2009. Impact of open de-ionized water thin film laminar immersion on the liquid immersed ablation threshold and ablation rate of features machined by KrF excimer laser ablation of bisphenol A polycarbonate. Optics and Lasers in Engineering, 47(11), pp. 1169-1176.
Abstract: Debris control and surface quality are potential major benefits of sample liquid immersion when laser micromachining; however, the use of an immersion technique potentially modifies the ablation mechanism when compared to an ambient air interaction. To investigate the machining characteristics, bisphenol A polycarbonate has been laser machined in air and under a controllable open liquid film. To provide quantitative analysis, ablation threshold, ablation rate and the attenuation coefficient of the immersing DI water fluid were measured. In ambient air the threshold fluence was measured to be 37 mJ.cm-2. Thin film immersion displayed two trends: threshold fluences of 58.6 mJcm-2 and 83.9 mJcm-2. The attenuation of DI water was found to be negligible; thus, the change in ablation rate resulted from increased confinement of the vapour plume by the liquid medium, generating higher Bremsstrahlung attenuation of the beam, lowering the laser etch rate. Simultaneously, splashing motivated by the confined ablation plume allowed release of plume pressure before plume etching commenced. This contributed to the loss of total etching efficiency. Two interaction scenarios were obsereved as a result of splashing: (i) intermediate threshold fluence, where splashing occured after every pulse in a mode that interrupted the flow entirely, leaving an ambient air interaction for the following pulse; (ii) high threshold fluence, where splashing occured for every pulse in a mode that allowed the flow to recommence over the image before the next pulse causing every pulse to experience Bremsstrahlung attenuation. Since attenuation of the immersion liquid was negligible, it is the action of the constrained ablation plume within a thin flowing immersion liquid, the resultant Bremsstrahlung attenuation and splashing events that are the critical mechanisms that modify the primary ablation characteristics.

Next Autumn-Winter 23/24 will be dedicated to the essential. The desire for classic footwear is growing
[On the cover: Prada and J.W. Anderson FW23/24 fashion shows]
More product and less styling, more concreteness and less appearance: this is the common thread that unites the clothing and accessories presented at Pitti Uomo and at Milan fashion week, almost a call to put aside the superfluous to concentrate on the essence of things. Subtracting, rather than adding or exaggerating was the paradigm of the catwalks, from Dolce&Gabbana to the eagerly awaited Gucci show, from Prada to Giorgio Armani. Outfits made up of tailored jackets, well-constructed coats, soft trousers, sweaters that have often taken the place of sweatshirts and shirts, a return to the archetypes of tailoring and refined comfort, with some concessions to long skirts at Gucci, corset-girdles from Dolce&Gabbana, to capes from Fendi (tank tops are no longer headline news and have already been given the OK for men in the last two seasons). And then there are the shoes, beautiful and well-made ones typical of 'Made in Italy', which recover the classic models, but which must be updated to please the new generations. A survey conducted in 2022 by the BOF newspaper in partnership with the research company Altiant, specialised in the luxury segment, showed that the majority of men interviewed in the US and UK are more inclined to buy classic rather than casual shoes.
Thus, moccasins, lace-ups, ankle boots, models with one or two buckles are updated with thicker and more robust soles, belonging to the sports sphere, in a hybridisation process that for some seasons has become the path chosen by designers and accessory brands. Of course, the catwalks did not lack provocative ideas such as the frog clog by J.W Anderson, which was born from the collaboration with Wellipets, the famous British frog-shaped wellingtons that even Lady Diana had her children wear (the designer proposes them for the adult), but in general the turn towards the classic has taken over. However, this does not exclude sneakers, less present on the catwalks than in the past, but still loved by young people. Also in this case the proposals are divided between models with clean lines and those (again) with chunky bottoms.
Classic reloaded
Models that come out of the archives, rich in history, with processes typical of Italian expertise to make young people appreciate the value of tradition as well. To update double-buckle shoes, moccasins, Oxfords and Derbies, they have been hybridised with more accentuated soles and, more suitable for winter, also in the lug rubber version.
Versatile ankle boots
The Beatle boot is omnipresent in more classic versions with antiqued or brushed leathers and leather soles or with suede uppers and sturdy or lug soles. There is no shortage of biker boots and hiking boots, a model now available also in a city version.
Amedeo Testoni
Sneakers between past and future
The gym shoe is inspired by the iconic models of the past, those worn by the great basketball or running champions. To bring them up to date, leathers give a vintage effect or shaded with air-spray techniques. There is no shortage of sneaker contaminations with other models, especially hiking shoes, but for the next season trainers with a clean line with a box sole and uppers made of fine leathers and wools or sophisticated knitted materials will take over.

Whetstone Gulf State Park is less than 40 miles from your cozy cabin rental at Wellnesste Lodge. Following scenic country roads from Taberg, NY to Lowville, NY this state park offers a variety of outdoor activities for individuals and families. Situated on the eastern edge of the Tug Hill Plateau, this park is a wonderful spot for Wellnesste Lodge cabin rental guests to take in a day hike and explore over 2,400 acres of scenic New York forest, rivers and waterfalls.
Park History: The Park was enjoyed by early settlers in Upstate NY starting in the early 1800's. Local oral history reports that the gorge was an active part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War era. This is easy to imagine as the gorge's location is secluded and would have made a fine place to seek refuge while enjoying the bounty that Mother Nature provided (food and water) to live on. Over the generations, the area was recognized for its natural beauty and significance, the State of New York eventually made it into park of the state park system for all to enjoy.
Origin of the Whetstone Gulf Name: A Whetstone is generally a smooth rock used to sharpen knives. Although I couldn't confirm it with the rangers, I surmised that the Whetstone name came from the fact that the gorge in the park is comprised of shale and other smooth rocks that were used as whetstones in the early days. The "gulf" portion of the name comes from the fact that the park encompasses a 3 mile long gorge which is cut by Whetstone Creek (which is a raging river by most standards, especially in Spring following the snowmelt of infamous portions).
This gorge is acclaimed as one of the most spectacular scenic vistas east of the Rocky Mountains. You can see the dark grey slate that seems to make up much of the gorge wall as you hike high above on of the park's trails. In addition to these rock formations, there are limestone deposits in the region which have had a reputation for serving as both shelter during the Underground Railroad days and as sinkholes for capturing farm animals. One local farmer purportedly lost several cows to an unstable limestone cavern and consequently destroyed the entrance to said cavern.
Hiking at Whetstone Gulf State Park: The main trails (named North Trail and South Trail) rim the gorge in a 5 mile loop that has a climb of perhaps one to two thousand feet... enough for a great workout, but not so tough that the whole family can't enjoy.
We advise our cabin rental guests that they wear adequate hiking boots, bring a walking stick and to be sure to bring a camera. Because the trails rim the gorge, there are warning signs along the route to remind everyone not to get too close to the edge. Speaking from experience, there is a precipitous drop in several areas so kids need to mind there parents at all times.
My exploration was on April 25th and thus it was a spring time adventure. Surprisingly, when I began my assent snow flurries, followed by sleet greeted me. Within an hour of my hike, the sun began to shine over the horizon onto the Northern Trail which felt wonderful. Most of the trail was free of standing snow except for at the highest elevation where small pines shaded the trail and thus left about 18" of snow to hike through for a short spell.
With the melting snow came a fair share of mud and standing water to avoid, but the effort was well worth it. I enjoyed stands of sponge-like moss and their lime green coloring as a contrast against the snow. I also witnessed Trout Lilly leaves poking through the detritus on the ground in an effort to capture the sunlight while it was available and cooperative.
Here are a few more highlights and things that I loved about this park and what it had to offer.
• The Red Pines, Norway Spruce and Eastern Hemlocks made the air smell fresh and sweet. These conifers combined with copious snow reminded me of my many hikes in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
• The initial climb of the North Trail admittedly made me huff a bit (I was out of shape after a long winter), but not so much that I wanted to turn back. The climb was well worth while as within thirty minutes I was well above the gorge and enjoying beautiful vistas.
• The sights and sounds of migratory birds filled the trip and I enjoyed seeing special avian friends such as Redpolls, Brown Creepers, Wood Ducks, Thrushes and a Bald Eagle.
• The lingering thought of potentially seeing a Black Bear made the sense of "adventure" all that more exciting. Although they are fairly rare, these Ursus are native in the area and I must admit that just that fact alone made me more attentive to my surroundings. Alas, I didn't see any bears, but perhaps next time around!
• The whirling white blades of Lowville's famous wind farm in the distance as I reached the half way point of my hike. Seen through the pine trees, I could spot at least 30 of these slow swirling white giants that were passively harvesting what nature provides each and everyday on these ridgelines- wind power.
• The multitude of water features. The gorge no doubt is the highlight and the thundering roar was so loud at times it drowned out all other sounds in the area. In addition to the obvious namesake of the park, I crossed at least 5 small streams that originated in the highlands and trickled by me to a foreboding plunge into the gorge below. These streams thus made up waterfalls of various sizes and were all over 100 feet high... very cool stuff indeed!
Although I didn't get there this time around, above the gorge lies the Whetstone Reservoir which is a 500 acre lake. Cabin rental guests at Wellnesste Lodge who enjoy fishing, can venture out to this lake which is stocked with tiger Muskie and large-mouth bass. The lake is also a popular spot for cabin getaway canoeing and kayaking. I intend to return there with my kayak one day for further exploration.
As I ended my hike and made my way back to the parking area close to the Ranger's quarters, I spoke to the local Park Ranger who informed me that park remains open in the winter for snowshoeing. I imagine that a hearty snowshoe hike during a Cabin Rental Adventure through 3-6 feet of Tug Hill Plateau snow along the gorge rim would also be a worthwhile promenade. Something else to put on the bucket list!

Anna Chacon, M.D.
As a board-certified dermatologist, I have noticed the wide spectrum on COVID-19 testing requirements for cosmetic procedures. Ranging from medical spas to plastic surgeons who perform long procedures under general anesthesia, there seem to be many approaches to COVID-19 testing, quarantining, and mask wearing.
Variability is also heavily influenced by the length of time it takes for a COVID-19 test to return. In some cases, a more rapid COVID-19 test can be performed; however, in other cases it takes much longer for results to arrive and can take up to two weeks. Another important item to consider is how much the test will cost and what kind of exam is ordered.
For a cosmetic procedure I had performed in the middle of the summer, I was required to get COVID tested at an expensive center, pay approximately $250, and quarantine for two weeks after the test as the result took two weeks to be processed.
As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available over the next few weeks to months, what will happen to these mandates and requirements prior to having cosmetic procedures?
COVID-19 has required dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and plastic surgeons to continuously adapt during the pandemic and to stay up-to-date with local news, mandates, cases, and trends. Many of us have used the ASPS's COVID-19 resource available on their website, which summarizes guidelines in terms of awareness, patient flow, enhanced cleaning measures, greater awareness of needs on PPE requirements and use, pre-operative testing and scheduling, new consent forms, and communication between staff, patients, and members of the community.
Variability comes in with what is going on in your area both in terms of local and state guidelines and policies that may affect your practice including hospital numbers and the prevalence of COVID locally and regionally. Staying current with FDA and CDC as well as state/local government updates is essential, particularly in terms of when staff and other persons should return to work after COVID exposure. Enhanced cleaning measures are important to follow and to make your patients aware of, as there is still much we do not know about the virus and precautions are necessary. Implementing enhanced cleaning protocols for the facility and office particularly in areas of high contact such as restrooms, waiting rooms, and patient rooms has been key. We have been able to minimize unnecessary exposures by doing telemedicine for refills, restricting visitors, online completion of documents, and limiting the waiting room use.
While the pandemic was seen to abruptly close many practices as it banned elective and non-essential visits and procedures, others have reported a boom in plastic surgery and aesthetic procedures. As patients no longer can spend as much on vacations, hotels, and restaurants, the spending has shifted into other areas, including elective aesthetic procedures. The presence of video chatting and zoom meetings also makes some feel more self-conscious about their appearance than they usually would, as they are seeing themselves on a screen for longer periods of time speaking to others. An area of popularity that has become a fixture for some patients who are having a lot of zoom meetings includes chin procedures, as sometimes virtual meetings can make a double chin look more noticeable.
Fortunately, an end to the pandemic seems near as vaccines have been developed and are currently in early stages of seeking approval and implementation. It appears that there is a light at the end of the tunnel of these guidelines. As our nation and regions begin to prepare for the arrival of the first FDA-approved vaccines for COVID-19, it is important to keep patients informed of events as they happen. Several companies are completing large clinical trials for these vaccines and they have gained approval in some nations such as the United Kingdom regarding the Pfizer vaccine, making it a possibility that they will become available by the end of the year. As initial supplies will likely be limited, it is important to start thinking about allocating resources for storage and distribution if administering the vaccine, or prioritizing obtaining the vaccine for you and your staff as healthcare workers. Plans should be in accordance with guidelines from the FDA, CDC, and state agencies.
It is very likely that the vaccine will be free and covered like a regular flu vaccine. Due to initial limits on supplies, the CDC and the FDA are prioritizing healthcare workers and members at the frontline until more supplies are available, followed by vulnerable patients at risk such as those in nursing homes and with comorbidities. Afterwards, it is expected that the general public will follow with vaccination as supplies permit, and distribution and production is expected to increase the following year. Hopefully this will change current measures for preparation for cosmetic and elective procedures in the future, as guidelines evolve.

Get free estimates from local Drywall contractors.
Properly installing drywall requires a steady hand and a sharp eye for detail, but it's also one of the least-expensive projects in home building and remodeling. Drywall offers a lightweight, cost-efficient material for interior walls and ceilings, which are undoubtedly some of the most important structural and decorative elements in your home. Although the framing provides the structure and support, drywall is the crucial final addition that gives you smooth, even walls that form the ideal canvas for the rest of your home decorating ideas. Read on to learn more about the process of installing drywall and the average costs of the materials that go into this project.
If you need help with your drywall project, let ImproveNet connect you with local drywall professionals for free.
Homeowners spend an average of $1,500 to buy drywall, with prices that average of $0.30 - $0.35 cents per square foot for the drywall and other materials needed for this project. The amount you can expect to pay to drywall a room or a home depends on a variety of factors. Before you start pricing materials, take advantage of our drywall calculator and estimator to determine the number of sheets you need for your project.
Drywall Screws: These specialty screws are usually sold by the pound, which secures approximately 500 square feet of drywall. On average, these cost $6 per pound.
Tape: Covers the joints between drywall sheets and costs approximately $4.50 for a 150-foot roll.
Joint Compound: Smooths over any blemishes from drywall tape, fasteners and joints. It costs an average of $15 for a 5-gallon container of premixed compound. Most professionals calculate how much joint compound they need by taking the square footage of the room and dividing it by 7.25.
When you're estimating drywall costs, you need to calculate your square footage, and then consider the size of the drywall panels you want to use. Drywall most commonly comes in 4' by 8' sheets, with thicknesses ranging from ¼-inch to ⅝-inch. Thin, ¼-inch-thick drywall sheets are ideal for damaged areas during repairs, but they aren't strong enough to use alone.
Standard sheets are ½-inch thick and weigh 57.6 pounds. Thicker, ⅝-inch drywall usually is made of fire-resistant materials. It's ideal for firewalls or anywhere you want added strength, including ceilings, although it's around 20 pounds heavier than ½-inch-thick drywall.
Level 0: With all the fasteners and joints left exposed, this is the minimum level of installation. The drywall is attached to the wall frame, but there's no tape or joint compound.
Level 1: Utility rooms, storage spaces and areas where you don't need a finished wall for aesthetics often sport this basic finish. The drywall is hung and fastened to the wall frame with tape over the seams and joint compound covering all fasteners and taped areas.
Level 2: This is a common finish for garages and workrooms, where the appearance of the walls isn't a consideration, or in preparation for tiling a wall. The drywall panels are taped and covered in joint compound and then followed by a full coat of compound.
Level 3: Adding a second coat of compound gives the wall a smooth, ridge-free finish. This is commonly used when the wall will receive a textured finish.
Level 4: Three coats of compound is the magic number if you're using flat paints or lightly textured finishes.
Level 5: In addition to the three coats of compound, the drywall panels get an extra skim coat of compound. This level is best for areas with very bright lighting or walls that receive semi-gloss or gloss paint.
Start by installing the ceiling drywall. Have someone nearby to help you hoist and hold the panels in place with the edges perpendicular to the joists and one end snug against the wall. Insert five evenly spaced screws along the width of the panel into the joist closest to the center of the panel, keeping all screws at least ½-inch from the edge of the panel. Repeat the five-screw installation along each joist, adding additional panels as necessary to create a row that reaches the opposite wall. Continue working in rows to complete the ceiling installation before beginning the walls. Work your way around the room, placing and securing the drywall panels until the room is complete. Then you can add tape and joint compound to finish the process.
Fastening screws offer a secure hold that doesn't pop out as easily, making them particularly ideal for use when you drywall a ceiling. Use 1¼-inch screws and a screw gun that's adjusted so you drive the screw into the drywall just far enough to leave a light recess for the joint compound to cover. Insert screws 12 inches apart in the areas where edges of the drywall panels meet at wall frames.
Drywall nails offer a good, secure hold for hanging drywall on walls, and they're easier to install because you only need a hammer, which makes the process a bit faster. Choose ring shank nails that are at least 1¼-inch long. Depending on the building codes in your area, you may need to install drywall nails every 6 to 12 inches to hang drywall.
Many pros use a bead of heavy-duty adhesive along the frame of the wall to prevent nails from popping and add a more secure hold. Apply the glue to the wall or ceiling frame, press the drywall panel in place and fasten with nails or screws as desired.
Although drywall can be a DIY project, consider where you're hanging the drywall before you decide to do it yourself. If you're hanging drywall in the garage or in a utility room that doesn't need to look perfect, you could try your hand at hanging drywall. If you're building a home, repairing a ceiling or performing major renovations, consult a professional. In addition to finishing the job quickly, pros have the skills necessary to give the drywall a seamless, smooth finish.
Hanging drywall yourself can end up being much more expensive and time consuming than hiring a pro. Why go at it alone? Head to our free drywall lead generator to connect with local professionals with the skills and experience to help you get the job done.

Home - Writings - Who is Sachin Tendulkar?
It is not a difficult question to answer. Even a person with the lowest IQ in India will answer the question. But there was one specific answer that that was the answer of the week.
It was given by the famous Tennis star Maria Sharapova managed to upset virtually the entire population of India after admitting she didn't know who cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is.
When one of the reporters asked "Sachin Tendulkar was the other person who came in at the same time as David [Beckham]. Do you know who Sachin is?" The French Open champion replied: "I don't.".
I don't know about cricket but still i watch cricket to see Sachin play. Not b'coz i love his play but b'coz i want to know the reason why my countries production goes down by 5 percent when he is batting.
Does Indian women know famous football personalities in other countries?
Yes, Most Indian women who are interested in sports do know David Beckhman and Messi. It is really pity to see Maria, who is also in sports, do not know the other stalwarts in the games that she is not involved. Actually speaking most Indian did not know who Maria was. Only people who were interested in Tennis knew her. But today she got famous in India under Sachin's shadow.
All the best Madam. There will be people who will be interested to watch your skirt going up. Keep them entertained.

This fall, why not partake in the many activities that we offer in partnership with Senior Adult Services (SAS)?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 10, 2018 by smbh707.
On September 13, 2018, we had our open house to showcase the new activities that will be hosting alongside Senior Adult Services (SAS).
In the past year, our government funders have informed us that they are reviewing the financial support that they provide to Bracondale. When providing activities or services, government funders request that recipients of funding form partnerships with other organizations. To maintain our funding, we realized that we would have to find a partner to jointly provide activities and services. Through a partnership, Bracondale will be able to increase participation levels and offer a wider range of activities for our senior community.
Unexpectedly in the summer, Seniors Adult Services in the Annex (SAS) approached Bracondale about moving their programs here. SAS received a termination notice from Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) in the Senator Croll building. After careful consideration, we decided that this partnership with SAS would be an exciting opportunity. We are now working together to provide exciting new activities at Bracondale starting on September 17th.
Our agreement with SAS means that all Bracondale residents can attend all of their activities for FREE except the Osteoporosis Fitness class which is $65.00 per 13- week session. Bracondale's yoga class will be free for all residents and SAS members.
We will continue to provide your favourite activities such as afternoon teas, shopping service, day trips, computer classes, yoga and the fall prevention classes.
Information booklets, calendars and pamphlets with programming information can be picked up at the Front Desk.
Classes started on Monday, September 17th. We welcome everyone to participate in the new classes. Once again, all activities with the exception of the Osteoporosis classes are free.
If you have any questions, please speak to us in the office.

Posted by: Taylor Biondi, Chair - Legislative Activity, Tennessee Association of School Psychologists on Nov 27, 2018
In Tennessee, the state government and legislature uses a funding formula called the Basic Education Plan (BEP) in order to determine how much money to provide local districts to distribute to schools. Like many other states, Tennessee's counties and districts can be vastly different from one another. In theory, in order to achieve funding equity, Tennessee uses the BEP to determine how much it costs to cover the basics of a school district's budget, based on how many students that district serves. For example, the BEP provides funding for one teacher for every 20 students in kindergarten through 3rd grade, one art teacher for every 525 elementary students, and one school counselor for every 500 elementary students. This kind of formula is used for everything from school librarians to principals to social workers, and yes, school psychologists. The problem is that the BEP funding formula only funds one school psychologist for every 2500 students. If districts want to provide local money to decrease that ratio, they can, but many districts are unable or unwilling to do so.
The average school psychologist to student ratio in Tennessee is one school psychologist to every 1600 students, but that ratio can be much higher in various pockets of the state. In some districts, school psychologists are serving upwards of 4000 students. Less than a handful of districts can afford a ratio even remotely close to NASP's recommendation of 1:500-700. The ratio issue becomes increasingly complicated due to the national shortage. In many districts, even if they can afford more positions, there are not enough applicants to fill the openings.
The good news is that Tennessee has an exciting opportunity in this upcoming legislative session. The state recently elected a new governor, and many elected officials have called for the BEP to be 'reviewed and revised.' The Tennessee Association of School Psychologists (TASP) is working to take advantage of this revision and make sure that school psychologists have a seat at the table when decisions on the revisions are made. To that effect, TASP has published a policy memo titled "Addressing School Safety in Tennessee: Utilizing the BEP funding formula to improve provision of mental health supports to students in Tennessee." The purpose of the memo is to help Tennessee legislators understand the crucial role that school-based mental health supports (like school psychologists) play in preventing school and community violence. TASP mailed paper copies of this document to every state senator and representative, and advocates and school psychologists in Tennessee followed up during School Psychology Awareness Week's Virtual Hill Day by sending emails and making phone calls. The legislature is not currently in session, so TASP advocates plan to make in-person visits in January when everyone is back at the Capitol. This fall, TASP recorded a podcast about legislative advocacy and posted it on their website. The advocates also created buttons that say "Reduce the Ratio" and wear them whenever they have meetings with our elected officials or attend school board meetings. Each of these advocacy activities serve the purpose of being proactive and developing relationships with Tennessee's elected representatives, and to present research that school psychologists should have a seat at the table when decisions are made, as they could drive education funding for the foreseeable future.

India vs Pakistan will light up ICC Champions Trophy: Monty Panesar to India Today
India begin their campaign with two warm-ups against New Zealand and Bangladesh before taking on arch-rivals Pakistan in Birmingham on June 4. It will be the first major ICC tournament for Virat Kohli as the captain of the Indian team and Monty Panesar believes Pakistan clash will be the best game for the 28-year-old to return to form."India and Pakistan have great competition and that game is definitely going to light up the tournament. The atmospehere is always electric and England fans look forward to seeing sub-continent teams playing. There is a good population from the sub-continent. Obviously they support England but also India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka," he said.Panesar said Pakistan game will be the perfect stage for Kohli to rediscover his form."I think he's not going to put too much pressure on himself, he'll probably do what he does best. He loves intensity, he loves competition and that gets the best out of him. Pakistan is the match to provide him that environment. India's form has been very good and Anil Kumble is unbelievable. He's only been there for one year and they are going to appoint a new coach, I am like BCCI guys what are you thinking? Give Anil Kumble a two-year extension. He has been amazing in the last 12 months, give him automatic extension because he's been brilliant," he added.

Q: Git changes lost on file save I recently updated my VS 2019 to v.16.11.5.
Now, every time I edit a file and save it, the git changes disappear, the changes counter reverts to 0 and in the solution explorer the icon next to the file goes to the blue lock (in sync).
Changes are saved locally but are lost as far as git is concerned and so they can't be committed, staged or pushed.
Same phenomenon when the git server is local or on github.com.
Can't reproduce this on other vs 2019 installations, the update works fine there.
I removed the github account, signed in again, repaired the whole VS installation, uninstalled antivirus/firewall, with no results.
Anyone else struggling with this?

The CP of the Pokémon you are trying to catch may be too high. Try using a razz berry before you throw to increase the catch chance of your next successful throw, but be warned, your ball will automatically be a curveball, so aim far left. If you have access to great balls or ultra balls, using those will greatly increase your chance of success. If all else fails, just keep trying. Pokémon that are CP 100 or above often don't like staying inside a pokeball, and may take multiple attempts to successfully catch. Perseverance is key!

Infinite Crisis and Moon Knight
INFINITE CRISIS #6
Infinite Crisis! Do something already! That'll work.
I guess.
Which Superboy was Conner Kent, anyway? Earth Zero? Earth Fuschia? Planet Starbucks?
Well, no, I guess he was 'ours', and his death, while tragic, gave a much needed shot in the dramatic arm to an entirely lackluster sixth issue.
This one seemed rushed to print. Maybe DC freaked about deadlines after going all of February with no Crisis book, and with all this One Year Later nonsense , and 52 coming right around the bend; it's all about product, people. So Infinite 6 gets a paper thin cover and shoddy art.
It seems like something that (shudder) Marvel Comics would do.
Yeah, I said it.
Infinite 6 begins with this useless exchange:
So it's nice to know that Yankee Stadium has survived the carnage and flooding in New York City, and that Major League Baseball is callous enough to say 'Play Ball' in spite of the death of bazillions (after all, if we don't resume our normal lives after the Infinite Crisis, the OMACS win).
A word to Geoff Johns: quit shoving Ollie and Hal down our throats. We know you like the 70's Adams-O'Neill run, we all did. We get it.
God this issue is just bad all over: cheesy dialogue, and some real ugly art. I think it's Jerry Ordway responsible; though I may be wrong. But just look at this: Ugh! Couldn't they have cleaned that shit up in inking? Ugh!
I think what frustrates me the most about this issue is that there's enough potential there; it just seems like Johns has no idea how to wrap up the series. And One Year Later and 52 just seem like a way to avoid him having to do so.
The reason that something like Crisis on Infinite Earths, or even Identity Crisis, worked was that it was self contained: beginning, middle, and end. Making us slog through back issues of freaking Catwoman to follow lingering story threads is a practice of DC's that's growing old.
I like the interaction between Batman and Brother Eye (a bit too 2001, admittedly); if only because it feels like it's all in Batman's head, that a darker side of himself than he's willing to face wanted this all to happen.
Those scenes feel like the genuinely exciting climax to some old cheesy sci-fi movie you'd run across on TBS at 3 in the morning.
And Superboy Prime continues to be a real kick-ass villain. The mostly Jimenez penciled rematch with him and Conner Kent at the end of the book is really fun.
There are some nice gory moments, like the Spectre disintegrating Star Sapphire: But, who is she again? If Johns had balls, Spectre would have passed judgment on Zatanna for her Indentity Crisis brain tampering. But, being a Seven Soldiers man, I'm glad they didn't. Speaking of the Seven: This makes the only soldier not to make a Crisis guest shot (and Crisis takes place after Seven Soldiers #1, don't forget) The Bulleteer.
A soldier must die, I know, but Alix? Say it ain't so.
I'm not holding a lot of hope now for the wrap-up of Crisis in number 7. Will we actually get to see the great event that takes Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman away from the world for a year, or will that be revealed in Hawkgirl #whatever?
Wake me when it's over.
Infinite Crisis #6: C-
MOON KNIGHT #1
I'm not really at all familiar with Moon Knight: his world, his powers, his enemies. Which makes his re-launch a perfect place for me to jump in.
Moon Knight #1 does everything that a re-launch should do, it introduces our hero, gives hints of his backstory but also hints of a larger arc of redemption, it paints his world in a specific color (in this case the intense black and grays of the city contrasted with the brilliant white of the hero). Most of all, it's entertaining.
The art is really nice, too. I'm not a big fan, in general, of David Finch's work in New Avengers. Sometimes it comes off as an uneasy compromise between Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee; pinched, tiny faces with rippling abdominals and gigantic breasts.
But here his style works, probably because the general dark atmosphere (and masked hero) feel more authentic than Finch doing the bright red and yellow world of New Avengers.
The only problem, once again: it's too short.
Marvel comics in general, and their top selling titles specifically like New Avengers and Astonishing X-Men, puts out all their stories in a very cinematic style. Few words, lots of action, large splash pages (or pages with only three or four panels to them). It can, when done well (especially by Finch here and X-Men's Cassady) be extraordinary, drawing you deeper into the world on page than you ever could have hoped.
It can also leave you feeling ripped off, getting through a 22-page story in two minutes tops. I'm also not sold on Charlie Huston's writing skills. Yet.
It seems like this issue could have worked well (or even better) as a silent book. The narration really adds nothing to the proceedings, except to tell us that Moon Knight really really likes breaking necks.
And certain aspects of the story, especially the 'Moon 'Copter' and its pilot Frenchie, while probably faithful to the character's history, play more than a bit silly.
If Marvel plays it right, they could finally have their Batman. Handled wrong, just another Spawn.
Moon Knight #1: B

I'm pretty sure the Spectre drawing you deplored was by George Perez --therefore he also drew the Klarion panel (which shows how hard it's going to be to keep the Seven Soldiers characters on-model in future appearances when you have to follow an artist like Frazer Irving, whose style is so refreshingly different from most)

i think the Hal - Ollie exchange about baseball gave insight into their attitude about this mission - count on making plans later, becuase if we don't think we're going to 100% pull this off, we won't. I like the reviews, I'll be sure to check in.
Matt Guerrero said...
I know the exchange was meant to be taken that way, and I think that it's completely in character for Hal and Ollie to banter that way. It just felt a bit forced to me.
Much of John's dialogue is that way (even at his best). I think he's a good plotter, and a decent storyteller in general. Sometimes he just gets a bit too cute for my taste.
Thanks for putting in your 2cents, 2scoops.

Regarding the Daring Fireball RSS Feed
Here's how Daring Fireball's syndicated XML feeds worked, up until today:
The main feed, freely available to everyone, contained the headlines and a brief description of each full article. This feed did not contain any content from the Linked List, just the full articles. My best guess is that there are about 40,000 readers subscribed to this feed.
There are other feeds which are only available to paying members; these feeds contain the full content of both streams: the full text of each article, and every item posted to the Linked List.
There are several problems with this setup.
Problem One: Many readers were confused. Especially, I suspect, new readers who've never seen a post where I describe the members-only feeds. On most weblogs, everything that appears on the web site also appears in the RSS feed; it's reasonable to assume things are supposed to work that way here, too.
So what happened is that whenever I'd go a few days without posting a full article, but during which time I posted a bunch of items to the Linked List, I'd start getting email from readers asking if my feed is broken, because they saw a bunch of new stuff on the front page of the site but their feed reader hadn't shown a new item in days.
Problem Two: Members with access to the full content feeds are frustrated. The members-only feeds are protected from public access by HTTP authentication; you need a username and password to access them. Most feed aggregators support authentication, but some of the ones that don't are exceedingly popular, including Google Reader and the new .Mac Reader for iPhone's MobileSafari.
So, here's what I'm trying: As of about an hour ago, the main feed now contains the full content of the site, available to everyone free of charge. Every item posted to the front page of the site now appears in the feed. If you're already subscribed, you should already see the results in your aggregator — the URL for the main feed has not changed. Article titles are marked with a star (★) to visually separate them from Linked List entries.
For now, let's consider this an experiment for the month of August. I'm hoping it goes well, though, and can be made permanent. I may tweak the format and exact details of the sponsored messages in the coming weeks, but the goal is simple: to make it as easy and convenient as possible for everyone who wants to follow Daring Fireball via a feed subscription.
My thanks to Rogue Amoeba, the debut sponsor of the feed.
The full-content feed is available for exclusive sponsorship on a weekly basis. The sponsorship price and estimated subscriber numbers are available here.
Web page ads for Daring Fireball are handled through The Deck, a small but growing network of top-notch independent web sites. The Deck kicks ass — but, all ads on The Deck are network-wide. Sponsoring the RSS feed is a way for companies to promote their products and services specifically to Daring Fireball's audience.
The Members-Only Feeds
For now, the members-only feeds continue to work, unchanged. As stated above, however, this experiment with an open-to-all full-content feed is as much for the benefit of members as it is for non-members. By far, the single most common request for the member feeds is to find a way to make them work with Google Reader. This is it.

Slight tawny-ruby rim. The wine exhibits a typical Pinot Noir bouquet of ripe spring strawberry fruit, cranberry and perfumed musk. There is a hint of gaminess and wild mushrooms on the nose. Medium bodied with bright, clean fruit flavours of red berries and cherries. Vibrant fresh acidity and silky, layered tannins on the finish.


Be open. Be open to trying new things.
That sentence makes me chuckle inside because I don't think I would consider myself particularly adventurous and open to new things anymore, so my suggesting to you that you should be open to new experiences seems a bit ridiculous. But I know it's correct; I tell it to you because I need to tell it to me.
For me if my regular lunch table is already full and I have to sit somewhere else with new people I can get a little twitchy and off my game. I guess I like routine maybe a little too much. I don't go out. I don't dress up anymore. I don't travel much. So maybe I'm in a rut.
I have a million excuses for why I don't do any of these things anymore, but no more excuses. For one day I can be open.
It has been a long time since I've opened myself up to others because being closed off feels safer and more comfortable. It's spring so I should be opening the doors and windows inside of me and outside of me and let the fresh new breezes blow through. And if you're listening Breeze, feel free to take all the dog hair and dust with you, thanks.
Grab a pencil and paper and start to make a list of phrases that start with, "I will be open to…" and just keep going until you stop. I was amazed at some of the things that came through me onto my list, and I feel better now because I am also open to learning new things about myself.
Opening new avenues is pretty daunting at times. As for eating out, it is highly over-rated in my neck of the woods.
I'm making my list right now. What a fantastic idea to share with my teacher friends! Thank you for your post!
Great list and great idea.


Summary: Last week, as part of a discussion of charter schools, I cited the Harlem's Children Zone as an umbrella project that has changed the "context" of associated schools, and thereby the expectations of students and the realities from which they undertake their education. The context of schools includes their relationship to the unions that represent teachers, as well as other school workers. This post explores some of the issues around such unions.
Part of the changed context, I suspect, of the Harlem Children's Zone is the sense of mission in each worker that can be stunted over time in standard public schools, and which must be a key variable in the exit of 46% of teachers in their first five years of teaching. Where a charter teacher may feel empowered, too often the standard public school teacher finds initiative blunted.
In the discussion of changing the context in which learning occurs, unionism has become a battleground. Among the rules suspended by school boards in many charter schools are those that govern the relationship between teachers and the schools they serve. Certainly these rules in the most egregious example protect incompetent teachers. No school will go anywhere on the backs of the least productive teachers, however that is measured or defined.
Caution is nonetheless mandated by stories of some charter school teachers who have moved to unionize where they are not already collectivized. By these tales, in the zeal to change kids' lives charter teachers run the same risks that face their public school colleagues.
Such is the demand on their time by the extensive needs of their kids that their energies and unremunerated time drain their private lives, and verges them on the burnout familiar to their regular public school counter parts. Unions are sought as shelter from the unremitting demand of both the job and the administrator. Regular public school or charter, the danger to all is that one shoulders too much responsibility and commits increasing amounts of time and energy to work that will simply overwhelm any one who does not observe appropriate boundaries.
Those steeped in union history will recognize this tale as a creation story for unions in general.
It is no accident that many successful charter schools staff themselves at a richer mixture of adult to student, and is tacit recognition that any one adult can only give so much, and more human power is needed, more than the public purse will currently allow across the broad sweep of American public schools.
There are those in the business and corporate community who take up legitimate criticisms of union intransigence and broaden them to include an attack on unions as the lynchpin of school failure.
On one hand, the thinking strikes me as too simplistic in a very complex topic, and on the other as self-serving. Since unions protect salaries and normally try to enlarge upon them, then the breaking of unions means the cost of government recedes, and the pressure on wealthy individuals and corporations to fund government via taxes diminishes. Not to mention that teachers' unions are potent political contributors. The attack begins in substance, but is fueled by greed and the partisan ambition to weaken financial and electoral support of a political enemy.
This cross wind is destructive in another way. Generally there is an agreement from many points on the political compass that teachers need to be paid more, and their status upgraded professionally, in order to bring elite university graduates into teaching. It strikes me as contradictory that some would do so by breaking unions, implicitly attacking the fiscal protection and the collective channel of salary enhancement that might attract more of these elite.
Last week in the post "Charter Schools – The Emerging Lessons", I noted that a prime lesson of success in some charter schools is that an enhanced adult to student ratio, funded by foundation dollars, and the set of relationships thereby made more feasible, has been key to heightened test scores, graduation rates, and consequent turnarounds in individual student lives.
As I reflected on my earlier argument, I realized that low-income public schools across the country have had access to Title I supplemental funds for years, which in theory could have served much as the foundation money has served charter schools. This realization complicates my argument, converting the question into the subject of a doctoral dissertation. Clearly some Title I schools have continued to fail, or do they fail less than they would have without the Title I monies? Is the Title I money so much less per capita than the foundation grants to charter schools as to be relatively inconsequential, or has the critical re-imagining of some charter operations, what I have called the changes in context, somehow made more vibrant the infusions of cash? More basically, am I correct that adult to student ratios are superior in successful charter schools, by comparison with public schools?
Hopefully, a look more closely in this space over the next months at specific programs will help get at these questions, since I will likely leave the doctoral dissertation to others.

Bubbly Mikel Badiola, the chef de cuisine of Element on Tras Street, attributes his high energy levels to his passion for cooking.
"Because I'm young, I still have a lot of energy. Also, I like to joke and have fun in the kitchen. I know when we need to play and when we need to be serious."
The Spaniard started his culinary odyssey at seven, when he helped his housewife mother Raquel Azpiazu, now 53, to peel potatoes.
Asked about the first dish he made, Badiola, who turns 23 next month, says: "My parents gave me a pastry book and the first thing I made was sponge cake. It was the best cake I had ever tasted."
When he was 14, he accompanied his dad Edorta Badiola, 54, who now works as a manager of a sports complex, to a txoko, a traditional gastronomic society characteristic of Basque culture, where male members come together to cook, socialise and eat.
"You go there with your friends and family members, pay a small amount of money, take your own ingredients and cook there. They have basic necessities there. The food ranges from porterhouse steaks to Basque seafood soups. There is no specific dish to cook," says chef Badiola, who has an older sister, Naiara, 25.
Born in San Sebastian in the Basque region of Spain, he graduated from Aiala Catering School when he was 18.
His work experiences range from short week-long stints at friends' restaurants during his holidays to training for a year at the prestigious Martin Berasategui Restaurant in Lasarte-Oria, which holds three Michelin stars.
Of his experience working under chef Berasategui, he says: "He told me I needed to travel and explore the different cultures out there because I'm still young and, if I ever needed a job, I could always turn to him, provided I teach him all I have learnt from my trips."


OMG what can the people do who installed it ? I don't think just uninstalling would be effective their must be something else they can do right ?
