Q: split string with more than one Char in C# i want to split the String = "Asaf_ER_Army" by the "ER" seperator.
the Split function of String doesn't allow to split the string by more than one char.
how can i split a string by a 'more than one char' seperator?

A: String.Split does do what you want. Use the overload that takes a string array.
Example:
string[] result = "Asaf_ER_Army".Split(
    new string[] {"ER"},
    StringSplitOptions.None);

Result:

Asaf_
_Army

A: It does. Read here.
string source = "[stop]ONE[stop][stop]TWO[stop][stop][stop]THREE[stop][stop]";
string[] stringSeparators = new string[] {"[stop]"};

// Split a string delimited by another string and return all elements.
string[] result = source.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);

Edit:
Alternately, you can have some more complicated choices (RegEx). Here, http://dotnetperls.com/string-split.

A: There is an overload of String.Split which takes a string array as separators: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/1bwe3zdy%28v=VS.80%29.aspx

Forbes: Nita Ambani most powerful businesswoman in Asia

New York: Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani has been named the most powerful businesswoman in Asia by Forbes, leading a list of 50 women leaders from the region that includes eight from India.
SBI Chairman and Managing Director Arundhati Bhattacharya has been ranked second on the 2016 'Asia's 50 Power Businesswomen' list that features trailblazing women from China, Indonesia, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines and New Zealand.
Apart from Ambani and Bhattacharya, six women from India have made to the list, including Mu Sigma CEO Ambiga Dhiraj (14), Welspun India CEO Dipali Goenka (16), Lupin CEO Vinita Gupta (18), ICICI Bank Managing Director & CEO Chanda Kochhar (22), VLCC Health Care Founder and vice chairman Vandana Luthra (26) and Biocon Founder, Chairman & Managing Director Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (28).
The list acknowledges the "inroads women are making in the business world but gender inequality persists. Women are best positioned to know what it will take to get more of them into commanding roles in the workforce and keep them there," Forbes said.
Describing her as the "first lady of Indian business", Forbes said Ambani, 52, is a "power near the throne" and makes her debut on the list because of her rising profile in Reliance Industries, led by her husband and India's richest man Mukesh Ambani.
"In a country where billionaire wives tend to remain in the shadow of their husbands, Nita's rising profile in the Reliance empire is unusual and earns her a debut spot," on the power businesswomen ranking this year, Forbes said of Ambani, who is also Director of Reliance Industries.
On Bhattacharya, 60, Forbes said she is facing her "most challenging test" yet with the State Bank of India as it grapples with mounting bad loans, which stood at USD 11 billion in December and caused net profit to plunge more than 60 % to USD 190 million in a recent quarter.
Dhiraj, 40, became the first female boss of an Indian-owned tech unicorn when she took over as CEO of Mu Sigma, a provider of data-analytics services, from husband Dhiraj Rajaram, who founded the firm in 2004.


not wish to trace geo-strategic relations in the framework of our festival: enough is written about them, anyhow. As always at our festivals, we are more concerned with a variety of specific artistic and cultural perspectives on social conditions. When reading the contributions in this catalogue, one is struck by how very subjective the authors' views of America are, and this tendency is equally evident in the artwork we present. America here appears not so much as a political but rather as a medial structure, not as a real but as an imaginary landscape. If, as Baudrillard writes, the real purpose of Disneyland is actually to hide the fact that America has now itself become a Disneyland, what image of America filters through to Germany? And what kind of images do Germans project in turn onto America, given that these images arise in response to the 'Disneyland' projection? What does it mean for a country, when it appears to borrow its myths, dreams and rebellions from another distant land? Does the real America actually still play a role among the projected images in this hall of mirrors?
In conceiving this year's festival we curators, Daniel Herrmann from the east and Marcel Schwierin from the west, began with the differences between our personal biographies. In Claus Löser and Philipp Gassert we invited guest authors respectively from east and west; in Ray Langenbach an American artist who sought to leave his homeland in order to gain a different perspective on it; and in Indian critic Girish Shahane an author who doesn't share the western perspective that connects all the other authors.
The film programme packs more than a century of cinema into three days. America is thereby observed both from without and within albeit the American contributions alone clearly illustrate the diversity – or disaccord – of American experience. And Americans also turn their cameras on Germany, to address the returned gaze.
The forum for its part is rooted in the festival location, Halle, and in the here and now. A range of events organised in cooperation with Halle's universities, exhibition venues and media will serve to trace signs of America and American influence in the city. A comprehensive programme of events in the run-up to the festival aims to engage the real youngsters amongst us in particular, and find out how they see America. The sculptural installation erikaLand, especially developed for the festival, will turn the Werkleitz location itself into a kind of Disneyland.
Is there something one might already consider to be a preliminary result, a pre-festival interim balance sheet of this long and intense preoccupation with America? What has surprised us most is the diversity and complexity of images of America. Everyone seems to carry around several of them, in which fascination and repulsion, real and medial experience are closely interwoven. With regard to revolution and independence, America developed as a role model for the modern age and, at least in Germany, it seems still to play this part, with all the positive and negative connotations this implies. We hope that the images condensed here in the artwork, films and discussions that make up the programme will encounter many more images of America brought along by visiting artists and the general public, and that a fruitful dialogue will ensue – about America, and also about ourselves.


The President Issued an Ultimatum of 10 days for the Wall Funding, else things will get Nuclear and Emergency is on the Way.
The proposed tall, steel, see through posts are undoubtedly the best design. It is hard to get traction and grip on smooth metal.
I do not see why Trump doesn't declare this a national emergency and simply build a wall COMPLETELY across the Mexican border. Funding? It is a national emergency, funding can come from many projects already in place. The Army Corp of Engineers can build it.
Trump knows that refusal by the Left Liberal crowd is causing the Democrats to lose face, credibility and support. Maybe Trump is stretching this out, milking it for all it is worth. There are a multitude of Dems and Leftists that fully supported a wall a few years back and now they have turned tail, just to subvert ANYTHING Trump. I hope Trump gets them running………….runnnnnnnn boy,,,,run!
"just to subvert ANYTHING Trump" Mat I remind you that this type of Obstruction started on Feb 9 2009. That was when Senate Minority leader McConnell went PUBLIC and said "the republican party was going to do everything and NOTHING to make Obama a one term president. President Trump should have taken a que from the democrats. In 2010 when they controlled Both Chambers they pushed thru Obamacare. President Trump should have done the same thing with his wall. When for the last2 years the Republicans controlled all three houses in DC. He didn't need ANY democrat votes as we seen with his tax cuts and spending bills. That was ehn he should have pushed thru his wall funding. BUT for some reason the GOP thought that tax cuts for the top mainly and INCREASED spending with the Military Industrial Complex was more of a National Emergency. that's why him using National Emergency as an excuse doesn't fly. While I agree we need MORE border security we need to change the immigration policy that allows so many to claim asylum then disappear. Solving the illegal problem will take MORE then just a wall!!!
If we wish to remain a democratic republic, the barrier is mandatory – although stopping more millions of illegals is only the tip of the iceberg of thing which need correcting. One of the first is mass deportation of illegals – to INCLUDE Muslims.
Yes lets start with the 4-5 MILLION here that have over stayed their Visas! We have their names and photos. Along with any family members that they may have included on their Visa application. NO MATTER what religion of country their from. Considering there are still 13 law suits holding up the 2006 Bush Border Security Act. Thus making building a wall the length of the border a Generational plan. Not something that can be done in a mater of a couple of years. The other major item is to start putting those that HIRE Illegals in JAIL for One Year MANDITORY! Take away the jobs less will come here. They ALL don't come for the freebies. The next problem is $5.7 Billion won't be nearly enough! That puts MORE & MORE debt onto our unborn children. Considering that our deficit is again up to $1 Trillion a year. How much debt can this country handle?
How can the democrats sleep at night knowing the wall is needed for the protection of our citizens and country? How can the democrats sacrifice our country for political reasons? They seem to be able to shut of conscience of what they are doing.
Well I am an Independent and I see the need for MORE border security. A wal is NOT the end all answer to our problem. As we have seen during the 30+ years of the war on drugs. The criminals will go over, under and around any barrier we put in place. So as an Independent I see the need for a COMPLETE immigration overhaul. Starting with the CRAZY Asylum laws. We either need to tighten the restrictions for seek asylum. Our we need to fund our court systems to handle those claiming asylum. Also the Governments own numbers prove that majority of the drugs come in threw Entry Ports not in back packs across the desert. Be Honest seeing the HUGE bust last week of the Fentanyl. Drug lords are NOT going to trust a bunch of illegals walking across the desert with $3.5 Million in drugs! A wall will work only just so much. It is NOT a one shot solution to the problem.
Build the damn wall and ignore the antagonistic Democrats who are living in a dream world, thinking that they will beat Trump in 2020 and they will build the wall and be glorified for doing so, not Trump!!! It's politics and we the American people have to suffer the consequences.
If President Trump does that by claiming a National Emergency to side step the demcrats controlling the check book. It will set a standard for all presidents in the future. Next time a Democrat is in the Oval office and the Republicans control the house or all of congress. A democrat president can just declare a National Emergency and side step the majority in Congress. Is that what you want for future Democrat presidents?

Hol – Tan had previously been importing and selling Fiats and Lancias from Italy, but either Hol- Tan, or Fiat/ Lancia discontinued dealing with each other. Their relationship with Moon continue. Joseph Moon died in 1919. His son-in-law, Stewart McDonald succeeded him,and remained president of the company until 1928 when he became the chairman of the comany's board. Carl W. Burst replaced him as president. The Moon company contiued to build cars throughout the transitions,and in 1924, it came out with its first cars with low-pressure tires, and hydraulic brakes.Moon wasn't the first car to have hydraulic brakes. they were invented in 1918 by Malcolm Lougheed (later changed to Lockheed), and the fist car to come out with four-wheel hydraulic brakes was the Model A Dusenberg, in 1921. The new feature in the Moon's hydraulic […]

La bella e la bestia (titolo originale Beauty and the Beast: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) è l'album discografico di colonna sonora del film omonimo diretto da Bill Condon, remake live action dell'omonimo film d'animazione del 1991, a sua volta adattamento di una fiaba scritta da Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.

Il disco è uscito nel marzo 2017.

Descrizione
La colonna sonora del film è composta da Alan Menken, già autore delle musiche del film d'animazione, con testi italiani adattati da Lorena Brancucci. La colonna sonora include canzoni dal film originale e nuove canzoni scritte da Menken e Tim Rice. Non sono invece presenti le canzoni del musical di Broadway. Ariana Grande e John Legend cantano una nuova versione di Beauty and the Beast, brano originariamente cantato da Céline Dion e Peabo Bryson nel film d'animazione originale. La stessa Dion interpreta invece il brano How Does a Moment Last Forever, mentre Josh Groban esegue il brano Evermore, entrambi appositamente composti da Menken e Rice per il film.

Un maquizcoatl (mot nahuatl signifiant ) est un animal mythique évoqué dans certaines sources anciennes sur la Mésoamérique, et décrit comme un serpent à deux têtes ; on appelait ainsi les affabulateurs, les menteurs, en raison de leurs doubles discours.

Selon Jacqueline de Durand-Forest, il peut être associé au joug utilisé lors de certains sacrifices humains pour maintenir la tête du sacrifié. Il s'agissait d'une pièce de bois courbe, à chaque bout de laquelle était sculptée une tête de serpent.

To: Rahm Emanuel and Chicago's City Council
Remove Immigrant Father from Gang Database, Review its Content
Antonio G.
Tell Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago's City Council to remove Wilmer Catalan-Ramirez from the Chicago Gang Database. Wilmer is an immigrant father of three children from the Back of the Yards neighborhood who was taken into immigration custody after he was erroneously listed as a gang member by the Chicago Police Department.
On May 1st, 2017 Wilmer Catalan Ramirez filed a lawsuit for the excessive use of force that ICE used when they raided his home, and the Chicago Police Department and the City of Chicago for wrongfully putting him in the gang database.
Chicago's mayor and city council should be advocates for every city resident who falls victim to Trump's deportation force, but especially for those whose physical well-being is in danger and those who the city has had a specific role in leading to his wrongful detention.
Wilmer's detention was part of a national immigration raid targeting suspected gang members. It is clear that ICE wouldn't have targeted Wilmer if it wasn't for the Chicago police department.
The police created the gang database at Mayor Rahm Emanuel's request in 2012 as part of his efforts to be 'tough on crime.' But since then, it has proven to be like other lists of names compiled by police in other parts of the country: arbitrary, discriminatory, and with dire consequences for those whose names get entered.
Wilmer didn't find out he was on the list until ICE agents cited it as the reason they broke down his door. He never had a chance to look at the evidence and defend himself.
Join us in asking Mayor Emanuel and the city council for the least they could do to correct this error and advocate for Wilmer's release, and start to review the procedures and content of the Chicago gang database.

Indian Army official kidnapped, killed in Occupied Kashmir
SRINAGAR - Indian Army Official Aurangzeb, who was abducted in occupied Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday morning, has been killed by the militants. His body was found by a team of police and Army at Gussu village, about 10 km away from Kalampora, in Pulwama district. He was shot in his head and neck.
Reacting to the killing of the jawan, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, "Another piece of terrible news to add to an already horrible day. May Aurangzeb rest in peace. Allah Jannat naseeb karay(sic)."
The Army jawan, who was involved in the encounter of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Sameer Tiger, was a resident of Poonch. He was on his way back home after completing his duty when he was surrounded by a group of heavily-armed militants and taken away at gunpoint. He was travelling onboard a bus and headed towards his home when he was abducted.
As soon as the report of his getting abducted came in, the Jammu and Kashmir Police launched a search for him and informed 23 Rashtriya Rifles, with which the jawan was attached.
The jawan was abducted and killed weeks after he, as part of an Army team, gunned down two dreaded Hizbul Mujahideen militant in Pulwama. Sameer Ahmad Bhat alias Sameer Tiger, who was the local Hizbul Mujahideen commander, was killed in the encounter at the Drubgam village of Pulwama district in May.

How Underrated is Karate Kid 3?
Released in 1989, Karate Kid 3 is set immediately after the events of Karate Kid 2 on Daniel La Russo and Mr Miyagi's return from Okinawa. Although the plot is slightly lacking, there are some very interesting characters introduced and the 13% return on Rotten Tomatoes is definitely harsh! If you ignore The Next Karate Kid (most people do) Karate Kid 3 completed the Ralph Macchio trilogy and was a far more interesting story than critics give it credit for.
The original Karate Kid movie is a masterpiece, and no sequels were ever going to be able to match that one of a kind chemistry and magic. That being said, opinion at the best au online casino would suggest that Karate Kid 2 and 3 have a place in history in their own right. Karate Kid 2 certainly had a freshness to it thanks to the change of location. The move to Okinawa opened up far more opportunities in terms of furthering the story of Daniel Son and Mr Miyagi, and the change of love interest for Daniel was definitely a positive move. Possibly some of the critics of Karate Kid 3 did not like the fact that the storyline did not follow a traditional format and a lack of female companion for Daniel. As far as I am concerned, this was actually a positive move by the writers as it offered an opportunity to explore a different side to Daniel LaRusso and focus on his other personal relationships.
Arguably the most exciting thing about Karate Kid 3 is the groundwork it laid for the Cobra Kai TV Show, particularly where season 4 is concerned. Terry Silver was a real breath of fresh air in the most recent season of the hit Netflix show, and while it's easy in hindsight, Karate Kid 3 benefits as a standalone film as a result of Silver's introduction in the TV show. With the Cobra Kai sensei already confirmed for season 5, it will be interesting to see whether he is joined by any other members of the Karate Kid 3 cast. I would personally love to see Snake back on the payroll, but Mike Barnes is the name on everyone's lips. It would be no surprise to see the Karate Kid 3 protagonist take aim at Daniel once again.

PrefixNE 3 review
Ian Parsons Read more October 7, 2009
Price when reviewed
PrefixNE is a network-management system. The complete software set contains four modules: the core management module reviewed here and three optional modules dealing with computer control and patch management, end-point security and application policy enforcement.
The software architecture has three components. There's a software agent installed on each managed system, a repository installed on a Windows Server system, and one or more management console systems. The software agent provides the interface between the host system and the other components, handling all communication between them, and executes various control and inventory management functions. The software demands very little in terms of resources, and the impact on managed systems will be minimal.
The management module not only provides core support processes for the other modules, but also essential network-management services such as licence monitoring, hardware and software inventories, system usage, assistance and reporting.
Collecting information about network assets is only half the job, and comprehensive reporting options are needed if the results are to be useful. PrefixNE provides a wide range of reports that can be exported as ordinary text files or printed directly. The system provides a complete inventory audit of all the hardware and software on the network, and can also provide subsets of information, such as all the systems with Xeon-class processors. It retains historical information, allowing it to produce reports detailing hardware and software changes over time.
Since the system operates with agents installed on every managed system, it's able to update its information in real-time, which in turn allows the management console to offer a wide range of monitoring facilities. With this information an administrator can easily identify a problematic system, such as a server with low available memory or high utilisation. Potential security risks such as insecure shares can be identified in good time, too. The agents can also send security log and hardware alerts to the central console, ensuring problems can be identified and dealt with as soon as they arise. General status displays are available, too.
The agent software can also provide two-way communication between a user and a management console operator. The user can send a message to the console using the agent software, while the console operator can send messages to the agent, which in turn generates pop-up messages to the user.
PrefixNE's pricing structure is unusual. The total cost of the software is spread over three years, paid monthly according to the number of PCs and the modules involved. A basic PrefixNE management installation on a 100 PC network would typically cost £1 per PC per month. All support and upgrades are included in the price: the standard support package provides telephone technical support in normal office hours over the three-year period.
There are a number of network management systems available for Windows networks – NetSupport DNA and Vector's Asset Management software, for example, offer similar asset-management facilities – but PrefixNE offers a useful combination of inventory and monitoring processes that could well be all that's required.

Cockroach Cyborgs Get Their Own Power Source
By Wynne Parry 2012-01-17T17:31:40Z
Researchers have devised an implantable fuel cell that taps into a cockroach's metabolism to generate electrical energy. This is an important step toward creating insect-robot hybrids that can conduct surveillance.
(Image: © dreamstime)
Equipped with tiny sensors, insects could scout out buildings filled with noxious chemicals, check under rubble after an earthquake and go places no human spy ever could. In a first step toward making these technologically enhanced insects a reality, scientists have devised a way to power bug-robot hybrids by tapping into their own metabolism.
The secret: an implantable biofuel cell powered by a sugar the cockroaches make from their food.
The device doesn't appear to harm the insect either. Neurobiologists on the team implanted the tiny device into the abdomens of five immobilized cockroaches independently, measured the power it produced and removed it. The cockroaches appeared to behave normally afterward, said Daniel Scherson, the senior researcher and a professor of chemistry at Case Western Reserve University.
Although the device converted the sugar into energy slowly, the electricity it generated could be stored in a battery and used in bursts, Scherson said.
This electricity could ultimately be used to power sensors on the insect or to manipulate its nervous system, essentially putting a joystick on it, according to Scherson, who noted that this sort of control is "not something we expect to do soon." [Military Develops 'Cybug' Spies]
Cockroaches have so-called open circulatory systems, where blood, containing trehalose, sloshes around inside their bodies. Blood inside is at a low pressure, and the two electrodes can be inserted without damaging the insect or any critical internal organs.
Here's how it works: The fuel cell consists of two electrodes; at one electrode, two enzymes break down a sugar, trehalose, which the cockroach produces from its food. The first of the two enzymes, trehalase, breaks down the trehalose into glucose, then the second enzyme converts the glucose into another product and releases the electrons. The electrons travel to the second electrode, where another enzyme delivers the electrons to oxygen in the air. The byproduct is water.
"As long as they are eating, I can just tap into their blood and [turn] their chemical energy into electrical energy," Scherson told LiveScience.
This is the first time a system like this has worked in a live insect, and the development of the two-enzyme electrode was key to its success, he said.
To test the fuel cell in something besides a cockroach, they turned to another organism that contains trehalose: shiitake mushrooms. They found that the biofuel cell also converted chemical energy into electrical energy when stuck into a mushroom.
Their research was published online earlier this month (Jan. 3) in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Elric de Melniboné é um personagem protagonista de uma série de literatura de fantasia criada pelo escritor britânico Michael Moorcock.

Elric é um albino de saúde débil, introspectivo e atormentado, mas mesmo assim o imperador do reino ancestral de Melniboné, uma superpotência em declínio, e servo dos Senhores do Caos, à semelhança dos seus antepassados. O povo de Melniboné é elegante, porém cruel, na maior parte desprovido de sentimentos: de entre todos, apenas Elric é dado a sensibilidades modernas. Fisicamente falando, os melniboneses são como elfos --- embora mais semelhantes aos amorais ska da série Lyonesse de Jack Vance do que aos povos majestosos de J. R. R. Tolkien --- e "Elric" é uma forma do nórdico Ælfric, que significa senhor dos elfos.

Como personagem, Elric subverte figuras como a de Conan, o Bárbaro de Robert E. Howard ao mesmo tempo que é influenciado pelo simbolismo trágico de obras como o épico finlandês Kalevala e pela ficção pulp da primeira metade do século XX, combinando assim referências eruditas com uma veia popular, à semelhança de grande parte da restante obra de Michael Moorcock.

Descrição
Elric é descrito por seu criador, no primeiro livro, Elric of Melniboné, como:

Influências
Moorcock reconhece o trabalho de Bertolt Brecht, em particular Threepenny Novel e The Threepenny Opera, como "uma das principais influências" sobre a seqüência Elric inicial; ele dedicou a 1972 Elric de Melnibone para Brecht.

Na mesma dedicatória, ele cita as obras de Poul Anderson, Three Hearts and Three Lions e de Fletcher Pratt, The Well of the Unicorn como textos de influência similtar. Moorcock referiu-se a Elric como um tipo de "herói domado", um dos mais antigos tipos de personagens da Literatura, semelhante aos heróis-vilões como Steerpike na trilogia Titus Groan, Scafloc em The Broken Sword, Lancelot em The Once and Future King, e  Zerd em The Serpent.

A história de Kullervo tem origem na Mitologia Finlandesa que contem elementos semelhantes à história de Elric, como uma espada mágica que fala e a alienação entre o herói e sua família.

O albinismo de Elric aparentemente foi influenciado por Monsieur Zenith, um vilão albino que usava uma bengala como espada, que Moorcock apreciava o suficiente para utilizar em histórias do tipo multiverso mais tarde.

Enredo
Ao invés de um guerreiro bárbaro musculado que sobe ao poder através da violência, Elric é um imperador culto mas doente que abandona o seu trono.  Onde um herói da fantasia convencional salvaria princesas de vilões maléficos, ou o reino de hordas de inimigos, Elric mata o seu verdadeiro amor, é ele próprio um feiticeiro poderoso, escravo do demónio Arioch, e convida exércitos invasores a destruir Melniboné.  Elric é um intelectual, dado a crises de depressão, e muitas vezes levado a acções catastróficas numa tentativa de resistir ao seu destino tenebroso.

Elric é ainda manipulado pela sua espada inteligente Tormentífera (Stormbringer, no original em Inglês, e Tempestade, quando da publicaçao do encontro entre Elric e Conan no Brasil, pela Editora Abril Cultural), já de si uma perversão das armas mágicas tradicionalmente encontradas na fantasia épica e uma referência à espada de Kullervo no Kalevala.  A Tormentífera dá a Elric as forças de que ele necessita para sobreviver, mas a um preço terrível --- a espada suga as almas de todos os que mata, muitas vezes recusando-se a obedecer aos comandos de Elric, de modo a obter o que pretende:

This sword here at my side…
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave

(Esta espada aqui a meu lado...
Não pára de me chamar mestre, porém sinto-me seu escravo)

―"Black Blade" dos Blue Öyster Cult

Como uma das múltiplas encarnações do Campeão Eterno, quase sempre um defensor da Lei, Elric de Melniboné está dividido entre a sua ascendência e o seu destino. Em resultado disso, Elric vira as costas ao Caos para se aliar à Lei, tornando-se eventualmente numa força de equilíbrio entre as duas facções. Ao longo da saga, Elric desenvolve um profundo ódio por todos os deuses, quer da Lei, quer do Caos, e pela sua constante interferência na vida dos mortais.  No final, Elric anseia por um mundo onde os deuses não explorem a miséria humana, acabando por morrer em nome dos seus ideais.

Adaptações
Elric e a Tormentífera foram adaptados num RPG publicado pela Chaosium.  Hawkmoon e Corum receberam idêntico tratamento.

A banda de rock britânica Hawkwind descreve a saga de Elric no seu álbum Chronicle of the Black Sword.

Nos quadrinhos, o primeiro encontro de Elric com Conan foi na "Conan the Barbarian #14" de março de 1972 pela editora Marvel, com o título "The Coming of Elric or A Sword Called...Stormbringer!", saindo no Brasil pela Editora Abril na Revista Heróis da Tv n. 39 de setembro de 1982, página 61 à 81. A história continua na edição "Conan the Barbarian #15, The Green Empress of Melnibone" pela editor Marvel em Maio de 1972, publicada no Brasil pela Editora Abril na Revista Superaventuras Marvel n. 3 de setembro de 1982, página 60 à 81.

'Thor' Sequel Dominates Box Office For Two Weeks In A Row
Kirsten Acuna
Disney / Marvel
"Thor: The Dark World" owned the box office for a second week before the highly-anticipated "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" debuts this Friday.
However, the film came surprisingly close to being overthrown by romantic-comedy sequel, "The Best Man Holiday."
This should be Thor's final weekend atop the box office as Jennifer Lawrence's "Hunger Games" sequel is expected to reach record numbers opening weekend.
Tickets for the film have been selling out since they went on sale in October.
Out of the box-office top 10 this week are "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2." The Sony sequel has earned $US200 million worldwide.
Also worth noting is Matthew McConaughey's "Dallas Buyers Club." Open in 184 theatres made $US1.8 million over the weekend. The movie is based on a true-life story about a man given 30 days to live after being diagnosed with HIV, and the lengths he took in alternative treatments to stay alive.
Here are this week's winners and losers in Hollywood:
10. Rachel McAdams' latest romance movie "About Time" finally makes its way into the top 10 in its third week out with $US3.5 million. The film hasn't made a big splash here in the states, however, its making the majority of its money ($41 million vs. $US11.6 million) overseas.
9. Tom Hanks' "Captain Phillips" continues to hold steady with $US4.5 million in week six. The Sony movie is closing in on $US100 million domestically. All together, it has made $US164 million worldwide.
8. "12 Years a Slave" is down one spot this week with $US4.6 million. The anticipated Oscar movie starring Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, and Chiwetel Ejiofor has made a total of $US25 million so far.
7. Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" adaptation continues its descent at the box office earning $US6.2 million in its third week. The Lionsgate film cost an estimated $US110 million to produce but has made about $US63 million worldwide.
6. Nothing can stop the allure of "Gravity." After seven weeks, the film is still bringing in $US6.3 million. The film has made a massive $US514.9 million worldwide.
5. "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" has been a big win for Paramount with another $US7.7 million. That brings the film's four week total to $US119 million.
4. Relativity's animated turkey film "Free Birds" swapped places with "Last Vegas" this weekend earning $US8.3 million. The cartoon cost $US55 million to make and has made $US42 million so far worldwide. The film has about two more weeks until Disney's anticipated animated movie "Frozen" comes to theatres November 27.
3. The people love Morgan Freeman and Robert De Niro together on screen. "Last Vegas" made another cool $US8.9 million this weekend. The "Hangover"-eque comedy has made more than "Free Birds" ($47 million) and cost a lot less to make ($28 million).
2. "The Best Man Holiday" surprised everyone with a huge $US30.6 million weekend. The sequel to the 1999 romantic comedy reunited much of the original cast. According to Fandango, the film was a social event over the weekend with 73% of ticket buyers saying they would see the film with friends.
1. "Thor: The Dark World" dropped 55% in week two making $US38.5 million. That's slightly less than the drop "Iron Man 3" saw in its second weekend (58.4%). The movie has already made a whopping $US480 million worldwide. Though the film should still perform well next week, it will have to compete with Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" sequel.

Will Spurge Weed Make Dogs Itch?
Spurge laurel is a variety common in the Pacific Northwest.
Spotted spurge, ground spurge, creeping spurge, spurge laurel -- whichever variety of spurge weed you have in your area, its sap can irritate the skin of animals including humans. That may sound easier said than done, as spurge weeds are great at spreading their seeds, growing out of the smallest cracks and thriving at almost any temperature. Here's how to cope with the weed and how to help an itchy dog.
The appearance of spurge weed varies by species, but commonalities exist across the family. Spurge weed grows out from a main root but has many branches. It stays close to the ground, forming what looks a bit like a green shag carpet. It has small leaves, usually not more than a half-inch long, which grow in pairs. It can be found in gardens and grassy areas, as well as growing out of cracks in the sidewalk.
Does Spurge Weed Irritate Skin?
This noxious weed has a milky sap containing toxins that can irritate the skin, whether you're a human or a dog. Dogs may be particularly prone to itching because they are closer to the ground and more likely to rub up against a patch of spurge weed. Try to avoid letting your dogs loose in an area where they could come into contact with spurge weed; if you have spurge weed in your yard, be sure to pull it so it doesn't pose a problem.
Spurge weed is relatively easy to pull up. Wear gloves so that your hands don't begin to itch, and grab the plant firmly by its main root. Once it's out of the ground, don't just leave it sitting on top of the grass, as it can easily reseed itself. Place pulled weeds in a trash bag or other container that your dog won't get into. Herbicides can kill spurge weed, but if you're just dealing with an outbreak in your yard or along your walking route, hand-pulling is the most effective and safest way to remove the plants.
If your dog does get into a patch of spurge weed, you will likely notice the dog scratching more than usual. The skin may get less irritated on its own, but if the dog keeps scratching a lot over the course of several days, take your dog to the vet and explain that the dog came into contact with spurge weed. Don't try to treat your dog yourself, as using certain essential oils and shampoos can make the dog itch more. Your vet should be able to recommend a proper course of action to ease the irritation.

Q: Why is this class and corresponding attribute not being destroyed between requests? I can not understand this behavior at all. I asked a question yesterday or the day before thinking it was something with bottle.py, but after trying all kinds of possible solutions, even converting my app over to flask, I have pinpointed the behavior to a single, very simple, class, but I have NO idea why this is happening. It's confusing the hell out of me, but I would really like to understand this if anyone can please shed some light on it.
Ok, so first I have a class called Page which simplifies setting up templates a bit, this is the offending class:
class Page:
    """The page object constructs the webpage and holds associated variables and templates"""
    def __init__(self, template=None, name = '', title='',template_vars={}, stylesheets=[], javascript=[]):
        # Accepts template with or without .html extension, but must be added for lookup
        self.stylesheet_dir = '/css'
        self.javascript_dir = '/js'

        self.template = template
        self.template_vars = {}
        self.name = name
        self.title = title

        self.stylesheets = stylesheets
        self.javascript = javascript

        self.template_vars['debug'] = _Config.debug
        self.template_vars['title'] = self.title
        self.template_vars['stylesheets'] = self.stylesheets
        self.template_vars['javascript'] = self.javascript

    def render(self):
        """Should be called after the page has been constructed to render the template"""
        if not self.template.endswith(_Config.template_extension):
            self.template += '.' + _Config.template_extension

        if not self.title:
            if self.name:
                self.title = _Config.website + _Config.title_delimiter + self.name
            else:
                # If title not given use template name
                self.title = _Config.website + _Config.title_delimiter + self.template.rstrip('.html')

        try:
            template = env.get_template(self.template)
        except AttributeError:
            raise (AttributeError, 'template not set')

        rendered_page = template.render(self.template_vars)

        return rendered_page

    def add_stylesheet(self, name, directory=None):
        # Sanitize name
        if not name.endswith('.css'):
            name += '.css'
        if name.startswith('/'):
            name = name.lstrip('/')

        if not directory:
            directory = self.stylesheet_dir
        self.template_vars['stylesheets'].append(directory + '/' + name)

    def add_javascript(self, name, directory=None):
        # Sanitize name
        if not name.endswith('.js'):
            name += '.js'
        if name.startswith('/'):
            name = name.lstrip('/')

        if not directory:
            directory = self.javascript_dir
        self.template_vars['javascript'].append(directory + '/' + name)

And here is an example of a route that the problem is exhibited:
@route('/create_account', method=['GET','POST'])
def create_account():
    dbsession = db.Session()
    page = Page('create account')
    page.add_javascript('create_account.js')
    if request.method == 'GET':
        page.template = 'create_account'
        page.template_vars['status'] = None

        document = page.render()
        dbsession.close()
        return document

    elif request.method == 'POST':
        # Omitted

The problem lies with the method Page.add_javascript(). The next time I go to the /create_account page it is not creating a new Page object and instead reusing the old one. I know this because if I go to the page twice I will have two entires for the create_account.js in my returned html document(the template simply runs a for loop and creates a  tag for any js files passed in that list). If I go 3 times it'll be listed 3 times, 40, 40 and so on. Now however if I simply change it to use the initializer and not the add_javascript method the problem goes away.
@route('/create_account', method=['GET','POST'])
def create_account():
    dbsession = db.Session()
    page = Page('create account', javascript=['create_account.js'])
    if request.method == 'GET':
        page.template = 'create_account'
        page.template_vars['status'] = None

        document = page.render()
        dbsession.close()
        return document

    elif request.method == 'POST':

However I suspect something is still wrong and just for my own sanity I need to understand what the hell is going on here. What is possibly happeneing behind the scenes where the add_javascript method would be called twice on the same page object? The method is called immediately after creating a new instance of the page object, where is it possibly getting the old contents of template_vars from?

A: The problem is that you use mutable defaults for your Page.__init__ function. See http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/writing/gotchas/#mutable-default-arguments.
So you do get a new Page instance on each request, but the lists/dictionaries that hold your javascript etc are re-used.
Replace list/dict default argument values with None, check for None in __init__.

Sintering refers to the densification process in which the surface area of the billet decreases, porosity decreases and mechanical properties improve under high temperature conditions.
Ceramic materials can be generally divided into ordinary materials and special materials, ordinary materials include daily use ceramics, architectural ceramics, electrical insulation ceramics, chemical ceramics, and other ceramics, special materials include structural ceramics, tool ceramics, functional ceramics.
Ceramic sintering is common: conventional sintering, reaction sintering, atmospheric pressure sintering, hot pressing sintering, cold isostatic pressure sintering, microwave sintering and so on.
Conventional sintering generally adopts conventional heating method, which is the most commonly used sintering method in ceramic material production at present.
Reactive sintering is limited to a few systems: silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, etc. Mostly using the vacuum sintering furnace to process.
Atmospheric pressure sintering is the use of special atmospheric pressure sintering furnace, in the high temperature sintering process set in the period of time to apply a certain pressure of the atmosphere, in order to meet the sintering requirements of some special ceramic materials. Si3N4 has excellent comprehensive properties, but in the case of high temperature without effective protective measures, Si3N4 has been sublimated and decomposed before sintering is completed. The most common method is to increase the atmospheric pressure of nitrogen, such as the pneumatic sintering of silicon nitride.
Hot pressing sintering is accomplished by special hot pressing machine under high temperature with single-phase or two-phase pressure. The interaction between temperature and pressure strengthens the viscosity and plastic flow of particles, which is conducive to the densification of the blank, and products with almost no porosity can be obtained. Therefore, hot pressing sintering is also called "full densification process".
Cold isostatic pressure sintering is a special cold isostatic pressure machine, under high temperature to each uniform pressure. Cold isostatic pressure sintering is a common sintering method for high performance ceramics.
Microwave sintering is to realize sintering and densification of ceramics by utilizing the dielectric loss of ceramic materials in microwave electromagnetic field and making the materials reach sintering temperature. According to the utilization of microwave energy, microwave sintering can be divided into: microwave heating sintering, microwave plasma sintering, microwave – plasma distribution sintering and so on.


Republicans rage against Ron Paul.
But for all that pious fury, a candidate few Americans had heard of owned the next day's headlines. Ron Paul had committed the sin of truth—and the reaction revealed much about the party that shunned him.
The evening began predictably enough. Focus-grouped down to their ties, the heavyweights managed to attach conviction to issues they rarely think about, while a pack of also-rans nipped at their wingtips. The audience inserted polite applause. Then the play went off script.
The moderator declined to follow up and moved on to less disruptive subjects —for once the Confederate flag seemed safe—but Paul's inconvenient truth lingered in the air and led the coverage.
Less noted was the reaction of the crowd, Roman in its fervor. What were they applauding? Giuliani's sloganeering prowess? Or his profession of ignorance? Neither commends him—or them.
Believing that our enemies' motivation is beyond the scope of legitimate discussion should render Giuliani incapable of strategic analysis. Surely the old prosecutor doesn't think that discerning a felon's motive absolves him of the crime? He told Larry King that his plan for pacifying Iraq was to "Do it with more troops—maybe 100,000, 150,000 more."But on what basis did he make that decision if realists who come within ten feet are ordered to recant?
The alternative is that Giuliani really is as remote from the facts as he claimed and was rejecting something he knows nothing about. Worse, he shouted down a more knowledgeable man.
It's come to this. The party once known for its sobriety wants to be lulled with stories about evil forces and immaculate heroes. Prudence yields to utopianism, intellectual combat to blind thuggery. Gone are the wisemen who cast long shadows and wrote great books. Lost too is the Right's old default that distrusted power and those who want it, replaced by a vision of the irreproachable state.
There's an impoverished efficiency to this new regime. Millions take dictation from talk radio, keep I-hate-Barbra-Streisand books climbing the bestseller lists, and enjoy the nightly spectacle of Alan Colmes being waterboarded. The ideological contests that once provoked fierce infighting are settled: all that remains is to purge offenders and sell the party line. "If Republicans start thinking like this, we're dead," radio talker Glenn Beck said of Paul's dissent. If Republicans start thinking, they may realize that indignation isn't argument.
"Ron Paul really has no business being on stage as a legitimate representative of Republicans," Michelle Malkin told Fox's John Gibson. She's right—though not for the reason she thinks. Unwilling to engage the facts of Paul's case, she made up her own, attempting to associate him with the 9/11 Truth Movement, which believes the U.S. was complicit in, or at least forewarned of, the terrorist attacks. Members of the group attended a Paul campaign event, but he has never endorsed their conspiracy theories. Malkin later admitted her error but not before denouncing "tinfoil hat wearers who indulge in this kind of fantasy, where America bears blame for global jihad." No doubt a chorus of Republican faithful again cheered their TVs.
It's voguish to pronounce a "conservative crack-up," but just the opposite is occurring. The once marginal tendency has won mass appeal—a kind of victory. But it had to leave behind that frontier where intellectual pioneers wrangled ideas scaled to the terrain. As the ranks swelled, the canon shrunk to a single issue that brooks no challenge. It fits comfortably into a Fox soundbite and finds followers aplenty. So powerful is the martial accord that anyone who disagrees must be something other than conservative: liberal, traitorous, mad.
There's power in that consensus—and fragility. Einstein wrote, "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice." Ron Paul proved that he has brain and backbone. But the party he's bidding to lead has lost the ability to distinguish between a constitutionalist and a crackpot.

Candlelit rooms are usually an indulgence, not a necessity, but it worked for Kristin and Bryan. That was their backdrop during Hurricane Sandy, when Bryan was left without power. Just two days after meeting, their meals came from Kristin's coolers instead of restaurants, their movies from her laptop instead of the multiplex. When the electricity returned, theirs was already flowing! The power surged this past Christmas Eve with Bryan's proposal, and sparks will be flying this fall at their wedding in Montauk.
