Feeling dizzy with Virtual Reality?
Our connection to the world is quite sophisticated.
Our brain integrates the stimuli coming from our senses, including, most importantly, the ones from the proprioceptors that provide motion information.
The brain also "checks" that the integration makes sense and if not it gets "dizzy"! This is the case when we are a passenger on a car and read a book. The eye are reporting images consistent with standing still (no motion) since we are seeing a page that is still. At the same time our proprioceptors report acceleration (left and right, mostly, but also increase and decrease of speed as the car accelerates or brakes). This information is not consistent, based on brain experience you cannot be still and moving at the same time (thanks to evolution where for million of years that was not possible). Some people are more sensitive than others (more prone to motion sickness). Also, the brain can learn and get used to these "unusual" situations.
With Virtual Reality the brain is faced with the same problem, although in the reverse order: our eyes report motion whilst our proprioceptors report stillness. The better Virtual Reality is, the worse the problem.
Researchers at Columbia University have discovered a way to minimise the problem by tricking the brain by providing different perspectives from the left and right eye.
They have discovered that by restricting the field of view of one eye as the images are creating the impression of motion the brain becomes less susceptible to dizziness (watch the first clip).
This approach seems to work, however it is not a real solution. It would be much better if a VR system could provide a full, coherent, slate of sensory information. That is send to the brain motion sensations from the proprioceptors. It would seem impossible, at first glance, unless you are going to experience the VR in a sort of vehicle that through simulated motion can affect your proprioceptors. This is what is being done in professional flight simulators, the ones used to train pilots. These are very complex and very expensive systems that for sure we cannot think of having back home.
Here comes vMotion, a company that is using the discovery made at Mayo Clinics on the effects of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation, GVS. A good portion of our sense of motion and of our relative position in the ambient comes from the sensations transmitted to the brain by the vestibule (in our ears). As you move your head the motion is captured by sensors in the vestibule and transmitted to the brain. The brain use this information to create a stable vision of the world. Try looking at an object in front of you and move your head from one side to the other, also try to incline your head. No matter what you do, the brain keeps the object still in (virtual) your field of vision even though the object position moves on the retina.
At Mayo, scientists have discovered that by applying an electrical (galvanic) stimulation to the skin on the back of the ear you can trick the vestibular sensors in detecting a non-existent motion (watch the second clip). By carefully controlling this stimulation you can have the vestibular sensors reporting a motion that is in synch with the images shown by the VR system.
This approach should provide a better sensation and should further decrease dizziness when using VR systems. On the downside whilst the Columbia approach can be embedded in the VR system itself, the GVS requires an additional equipment.
Samsung has announced a set of headphones, Entrim 4D, that exploits GVS to provide a senso of motion (watch the third clip).
Notice that although quite sophisticated (and effective) GVS does not represent a complete solution since we have many more motion receptors spread in our bodies (basically every joint sends motion and tension information to the brain). Affecting only the vestibular sensors is not enough. Yet, it is a significant step forward.
It is interesting to see how entangled is ICT with bioengineering when the goal is to communicate with our brain. This is an area that is being addressed by the Digital Sense Initiative at IEEE.

A position in the philosophy of mind that is currently under-represented and under-discussed is Thomistic or hylomorphic dualism. Whereas the tendency of the substance dualist is to identify the person with his soul or mind, the hylomorphic approach identifies the person with a soul-body composite in which soul stands to body as form (morphe) stands to matter (hyle). In a slogan: anima forma corporis: the soul is the form of the body. To be a bit more precise, the soul is the substantial form of the body, a form that makes of the matter it informs a human substance.
This is not a version of substance dualism since soul and body on the hylomorphic scheme are not (primary) substances in their own right. We define a (primary) substance as anything logically (as opposed to causally) capable of independent existence. Fido is then a substance but his soul is not inasmuch as his soul cannot exist on its own. And the same goes for Fido's body: it cannot exist on its own. Fido's corpse can exist on its own, but it is not his body. A dead dog is not a dog: 'dead' in 'dead dog' is an alienans adjective. It functions like 'decoy' in 'decoy duck.' Strictly speaking, a body is a body only when animated by a soul, and a soul is a soul only when animating a body. The composite is what lives and dies, death being the separation of soul and body.
Now comes the tricky part. For Thomas, the soul of a human being — or the intellective part of the soul of a human being — is not merely a substantial form, but also a subsistent form, a form that can exist on its own. This is the element of Platonism that remains in Thomas's Aristotelianism. This subsistent form can survive separation from the body. The theological motivation for this is perhaps clear: there must be something that bridges the temporal gap between death (separation of soul from body) and resurrection of the body and concomitant reunification of body with soul. That which grounds personal identity over the temporal gap is the soul as subsistent substantial form. Whether there is a need for such a ground is a question that cannot be discussed at the moment.
So although Thomist dualism is distinct from Platonic or Cartesian dualism, it is still a rather robust form of dualism, more robust than the dualism of the epiphenomenalist, say. As long as we don't confuse dualism with substance dualism, there is no reason that I can see for not describing Thomas's hylomorphic theory of mind as dualistic.
So much for a brief sketch of the hylomorphic position. I wish I could report that I find it unproblematic. But I don't. I'll mention one problem now, others later.
How can a substantial form exist apart from that of which it is the form? Is it not necessarily tied to that of which it is the form? After all, it is so tied in the case of non-humans like Fido. Fido is a composite the components of which cannot exist on their own. Why should it be any different in the case of the human soul if the human soul is indeed the form of the human body?
The problem here, in short, is that there is a tension between soul as substantial form and soul as substantial subsistent form. Ontologically, one wants to protest, a form is not the sort of entity that could be subsistent. Necessarily, a form is a form of that of which it is the form. But a subsistent form is possibly such as to exist apart from that of which it is the form. These propositions cannot both be true.
I find it hard to resist the suspicion that what Aquinas has done is implanted Christian elements into the foreign soil of Aristotelianism. Christianity requires that the soul be capable of independent existence. But no form, by its very nature as form, is capable of independent existence. Simply to make an exception in the case of the human soul is wholly unmotivated and ad hoc and inconsistent with hylomorphic ontology.

Why China's economy remains global recovery engine in 2022
— The International Monetary Fund forecasts that China's economy will grow 5.6 percent this year, 0.7 percentage points higher than global economic growth.
— Analysts believe that the world's second-largest economy will be increasingly shaped by the power of consumption and innovation while continuing to seek greater synergy with global economies.
— Consumption acted as a pillar of China's economy in 2021, and the country is expected to step up efforts in further unleashing consumer demand, said Wen Bin, chief analyst at China Minsheng Bank.
— This year, China will continue upgrading its industrial sector and seek new growth drivers, which will further catalyze the growth of foreign business in China.
BEIJING, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) — China still raises hopes for a global recovery in 2022 with its strong economic resilience despite challenges and uncertainties amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
A report released at the International Finance Forum (IFF)'s annual meeting in December estimated that China would remain the largest contributor to global growth at 26.3 percent in 2021.
The International Monetary Fund forecasts that China's economy will grow 5.6 percent this year, 0.7 percentage points higher than global economic growth.
Analysts believe that the world's second-largest economy will be increasingly shaped by the power of consumption and innovation while continuing to seek greater synergy with global economies.

CONSUMPTION GAINS STEAM
In the first three quarters of 2021, final consumption expenditure contributed 64.8 percent to China's economic growth, 3.1 percentage points higher than the level seen in the first half of the year, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.
Consumption acted as a pillar of China's economy in 2021, and the country is expected to step up efforts in further unleashing consumer demand, said Wen Bin, chief analyst at China Minsheng Bank.
In 2022, the country will wield its microeconomic policies to stimulate the vitality of market entities and deepen the supply-side structural reform with a focus on smoothing the circulation of the national economy, said the tone-setting Central Economic Work Conference in December 2021.

China's consumption market in solid expansion can underpin foreign trade growth, said Lin Wei, vice chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Zhejiang Provincial Committee.
The country's massive market has contributed 14.8 percent to the global import growth in the first half of 2021, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
The implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement on Jan. 1 marked a new milestone for China's opening-up. It means the country will fulfill commitments on service trade opening-up and investment negative lists.
NEW DRIVERS EMERGING
This year, China will continue upgrading its industrial sector and seek new growth drivers, which will further catalyze the growth of foreign business in China.
China will take progressive moves in infrastructure investment and guide financial institutions to step up support for sci-tech innovation and green development.
High-tech manufacturing industries such as pharmaceuticals, computers, and office equipment are likely to maintain rapid growth amid the country's continuous efforts to encourage sci-tech innovation in 2022, said Chen Weidong, a senior researcher with the Bank of China.

Tu Xinquan, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics, said that more foreign investment would flow into modern service industries and advanced manufacturing industries while China accelerates industrial restructuring.
The country's transition to low-carbon development has also been luring investment into green technologies and creating opportunities for domestic and foreign companies.
At the fourth China International Import Expo in last November, automation giant Honeywell International signed cooperation agreements with more than 20 Chinese enterprises on green and low-carbon development, advanced manufacturing, and digitalization.
China's green and low-carbon transformation has brought broad development opportunities to multinational enterprises, said Steven Lien, president of Honeywell China and Aerospace Asia Pacific.

There�s a lot of confusion, mystery, and desperation on around how to shed excess fat and put on lean muscle. We applaud body transformation pictures we see on �... It is often said that low reps will stimulate fast twitch muscle fibers while high reps stimulate the slow twitch muscle fibers. This is yet another false fact about rep ranges. The truth is that low reps will stimulate ALL muscle fibers from slow to intermediate to fast and everything in between.

One of the "secrets to success" that is used by all top-level athletes, successful business-people, and achievers in all fields is goal setting.
In order to really lean down, lower your body fat to a level that will bring out a high degree of muscle definition you need to eat the right way. There is no way around it. There is no way around it.
Instructions: Start in a tabletop position on hands and knees. Your shoulders should be over your wrists and your hips over your knees. Keeping your hips and shoulders completely square, reach your right arm forward and your left leg back.
Because this type of exercise results in significant muscle bulking, however, you should adopt an alternate form of weight training to achieve lean muscle. Instead of lifting heavy weights for four to 10 repetitions and resting in between, lift lighter weights more quickly and for many more repetitions, such as 40 or 50 reps with little or no rest.

First Nations split over Site C dam – Vancouver Sun
Some want to fight the BC Hydro megaproject; other want to negotiate for millions in compensation
BC Hydro's planned $7.9-billion Site C dam has caused a split among Treaty 8 First Nations over whether to fight the megaproject tooth and nail or participate in negotiations leading to compensation settlements.
As a joint review panel begins an environmental review of Site C today on behalf of the provincial and federal governments, four First Nations communities have banded together to fight the project – Doig River, Halfway River, Prophet River, and West Moberly.
"We don't want it," Doig councillor Kelvin Davis told The Vancouver Sun during a tour of traditional sites along the Peace River. "The land is more valuable to us the way it is. For this to be under water is unthinkable."
Three other Treaty 8 First Nations – Blueberry River, Saulteau, and McLeod Lake – have agreed to negotiate for compensation and have been offered "impact benefit agreements," confirmed Dave Conway, BC Hydro community relations manager in Fort St. John.

Q: change value of $request before validation in laravel 5.5 I have a form in route('users.create').
I send form data to this function in its contoller:
public function store(UserRequest $request)
{

    return redirect(route('users.create'));
}

for validation I create a class in
App\Http\Requests\Panel\Users\UserRequest;
class UserRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function rules()
    {
        if($this->method() == 'POST') {
             return [
                 'first_name' => 'required|max:250',

It works.
But How can I change first_name value before validation (and before save in DB)?
(Also with failed validation, I want to see new data in old('first_name')
Update
I try this:
 public function rules()
    {
     $input = $this->all();

     $input['first_name'] = 'Mr '.$request->first_name;
     $this->replace($input);

     if($this->method() == 'POST') {

It works before if($this->method() == 'POST') { But It has not effect for validation or for old() function

A: Override the prepareForValidation() method of the FormRequest.
So in App\Http\Requests\Panel\Users\UserRequest:
protected function prepareForValidation()
{
    if ($this->has('first_name'))
        $this->merge(['first_name'=>'Mr '.$this->first_name]);
}

A: Why not doing the validation in the controller? Than you can change things before you validate it and doing your db stuff afterward.
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $request->first_name = 'Mr '.$request->first_name;

    Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'first_name' => 'required|max:250',
    ])->validate();

    // ToDo save to DB

    return redirect(route('users.create'));
}

See also https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/validation

A: Simply use
$request->merge(['New Key' => 'New Value']);

In your case it can be as follows for saving
$this->merge(['first_name'=>'Mr '.$this->first_name]);

Fred Bank (* 23. März 1964) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Fußballspieler. In den 1980er-Jahren spielte er für Fortschritt Bischofswerda in der DDR-Oberliga, der höchsten Liga im DDR-Fußball.

Sportliche Laufbahn
Bereits mit 17 Jahren bestritt Fred Bank seine ersten beiden Spiele in der zweitklassigen DDR-Liga für die Betriebssportgemeinschaft (BSG) Fortschritt Bischofswerda. In den letzten zwei Ligaspielen der Saison 1980/81 wechselte ihn Trainer Manfred Helder für 19 bzw. 45 Minuten ein. Nachdem Bank 1981/82 in seinen 20 von 22 Ligaspielen noch hauptsächlich als Einwechselspieler tätig war, aber schon ein Tor erzielt hatte, konnte er sich in den beiden folgenden Spielzeiten als Linksaußenstürmer einen Stammplatz erobern. Beide Male kam er in allen 22 Ligaspielen zum Einsatz und war mit fünf bzw. drei Toren erfolgreich. Von der Saison 1984/85 an wurde die DDR-Liga auf zwei Staffeln reduziert, und es musste jeweils 34 Spiele absolviert werden. Sowohl 1984/85 als 1985/86 hatte Bank in der Hinrunde etliche Ausfälle zu verzeichnen, sodass er nur auf 22 (fünf Tore) bzw. 19 (ein Tor) Einsätze kam.

1986 gelang der BSG Fortschritt der Aufstieg in die DDR-Oberliga. Auch dort reichte es für Bank nicht mehr zum Stammspieler. Zwar wurde er in 20 der 26 Oberligaspiele eingesetzt, stand aber nur zehnmal als Abwehrspieler in der Startelf. Nach dem sofortigen Abstieg folgten wieder zwei Spielzeiten in der DDR-Liga. 1987/88 konnte sich Bank stabilisieren und bestritt weiter in der Abwehr spielend, 28 der 34 Ligaspiele und erzielte nach seinem torlosen Oberligajahr wieder drei Tore. In der Saison 1988/89 stieg Bischofswerda zum zweiten Mal in die Oberliga auf. Bank war daran zwar mit 26 Spielen und vier Toren beteiligt, musste sich in der Rückrunde aber mit mehreren Einwechslungen begnügen. In der Oberligaspielzeit 1989/90 stand Bank bis zum 7. Spieltag kontinuierlich als Abwehrspieler in der Mannschaft, spielte danach aber nur noch sporadisch neunmal und kam auch nur noch einmal zu einem Torerfolg. Seine Mannschaft war erneut nicht oberligatauglich und stieg auch im zweiten Anlauf sofort wieder ab.

Im Laufe der Saison 1990/91 trat die DDR der Bundesrepublik bei, und der DDR-Fußball wurde im November 1990 vom DFB übernommen. Am bisherigen DDR-Ligensystem änderte sich in der laufenden Saison nichts, sodass auch die DDR-Liga ihren zweitklassigen Status behielt. Sie wurde auch bis zum September in den Medien als DDR-Liga bezeichnet. Nach dem Ende der DDR hieß sie dann nur noch Liga. Infolge der wendebedingt geänderten wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse wandelten sich die Betriebssportgemeinschaften in Vereine um, aus der BSG Fortschritt wurde der der FV Fortschritt Bischofswerda. Bank gehörte weiterhin zum Spielerkader des Vereins und war mit seinen 24 Einsätzen in den 30 Ligaspielen und drei Toren eine wichtige Stütze der Mannschaft, in der er hauptsächlich als Verteidiger aufgeboten wurde.

Mit der Saison 1991/92 wurden die ostdeutschen Fußball-Ligen in das DFB-System eingegliedert. Damit wurde die bisher zweitklassige ehemalige DDR-Liga zur drittklassigen Fußball-Oberliga Nordost, in die auch der neu benannte Bischofswerdaer FV 08 eingegliedert wurde. Dort spielte Fred Bank noch bis 1995. 1993 stand er auf dem Sprung in die 2. Bundesliga. Der FV 08 nahm als Tabellenzweiter der Staffel Süd (FC Sachsen Leipzig|Sachsen Leipzig erhielt keine Lizenz) an den vier Relegationsspielen teil, scheiterte aber mit nur einem Sieg. Bank war in allen Spielen aufgeboten worden. Nach der Spielzeit 1994/94, die Oberliga Nord-Ost war inzwischen viertklassig geworden, beendete Fred Bank im Alter von 30 Jahren seine leistungssportliche Laufbahn. Als Freizeitkicker schloss er sich dem sächsischen Landesligisten VfB Zittau an.

SS Westmoreland was a refrigerated steam merchant of the United Kingdom originally built in 1917 by D. & W. Henderson & Co Ltd, in Glasgow, Scotland, for Federal Steam Navigation Co. of London.

Construction & service
Acquired by her owners in April 1917, Westmoreland was placed in service on the Wellington - Colón, Liverpool route as a general cargo carrier. She had a very active career during World War II prior to her loss, taking part in almost 50 convoys, calling in ports all over the world including Adelaide, Wellington, Haifa, Curacao, New York, and Glasgow.

On 29 January 1941, while departing Glasgow bound for Liverpool and ultimately New Zealand, Westmoreland struck two German mines. Initially, the crew was taken off by . However, at the captain's orders they returned once it became clear that Westmoreland would not immediately sink. Despite substantial flooding and rough conditions, the stricken vessel was successfully towed to Liverpool, where she arrived on 31 January.

Final voyage and loss
The Westmoreland departed Wellington, New Zealand on 26 April 1942, under the command of Captain Ernst Arthur Burton with a cargo of mail, foodstuffs, and wool. She reached Balboa, the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal on 22 May, where she transited the canal and then spent a few days at Colón on the Caribbean side before setting sail on the 25th bound for Halifax, where she was to join an eastbound convoy for Liverpool. On the morning of 1 June, under a bright gibbous moon  south of Halifax, Westmoreland was zig-zagging her way north in heavy seas. Here they crossed paths with the , which spotted the large merchant vessel about  away. The submarine's next course change placed her in a nearly perfect firing position. At 1:50AM local time, a torpedo fired by U-566 struck forward of amidships, killing three men. The Westmoreland quickly began losing headway. Though none of the lookouts reported sighting a submarine it was clear they had been torpedoed; confidential materials were destroyed as a precaution and an emergency transmission with their position sent.

Following a tour of his ship, Captain Burton noted significant damage to the port boat deck and broken beams on the hatch for hold #3. That information, combined with flooding in the engineering spaces and loss of power, convinced him it was probable his vessel would sink and thus he ordered 'Abandon Ship'. Three lifeboats were launched, carrying 65 men away from the slowly sinking freighter.  According to the logs of U-566, a coup-de-grâce torpedo was fired about 40 minutes after the initial attack, at 2:32AM, and struck near  from the stern. Even this failed to sink Westmoreland, however, causing U-566s commanding officer to order the target shelled.

The submarine expended 60 rounds from two deck guns, starting large fires aboard. Despite this the merchant ship refused to sink until finally, just after 6AM, she rolled to starboard and went under. Burton kept the trio of lifeboats together at first, hoping rescue craft had been dispatched in response to Westmorelands distress signal, but when help did not arrive by 1PM the following day he ordered they make for land, rowing to the northwest, despite rough conditions and a  wind. Two boats became separated from the third, which contained Captain Burton. These were rescued on 3 June by the Canadian steamer , which landed the survivors at Halifax on 6 June. The third boat was not rescued until 6 June when the US-flagged steamship  happened across them, landing its occupants at New York on 8 June.

It's been another busy two-game week for the majority of the Welsh Premier clubs with many in League Cup action in the rebranded Nathaniel MG Cup. We also saw Craig Harrison and Gary Roberts pick up the first Manager and Player of the Month Awards of the season, so a well deserved congratulations to them both! We kick on then as Matchday 6 approaches with a perhaps unexpected top-of-the table clash between TNS and Bangor – who'd have thought that at the start of the season? Both sides continue to fare well at the top end of the rankings this week but inconsistent results throughout the league make the rest of the ladder less predictable – here's the full list!
Five games, 15 points and a Manager of the Month award to cement what has been a truly impressive start from the champions. The worrying thing for the remaining sides is that there could be more to come – fit-again Alex Darlington, one of my favourite WPL players to watch in recent years netted twice in their win at Airbus on Sunday, as he returns from a lengthy lay-off, and a first appearance from new striker Wes Fletcher means that competition for places and desire to succeed remains as high as ever.
The Citizens continue to fly up the rankings with their start to the season even surprising Andy Legg, who is fast approaching a messiah-like status with the Bangor City faithful. Gary Roberts continued his excellent form with a brace as City made light work of Aberystwyth Town. Legg named a second-string side which saw them edge past Prestatyn on penalties in a dramatic encounter on Wednesday night, his focus is quite rightly on Sunday's clash with TNS – win that and the City fans will be putting in planning permission for a statue!
From winless and goalless, Alan Morgan's men have now won back-to-back games keeping successive clean sheets in the process, such is football! That grey looking 'second season syndrome' cloud appears to be lifting over Maesdu Park, and when Marc Williams finally finds his scoring boots the sun will surely shine again over last season's surprise package.
I don't know quite what to make of Newtown who please and disappoint in equal measure having won just once in their opening five games. The Robins were again left frustrated last weekend when a fine performance from in-form keeper Michael Jones denied them all of three points in their 1-1 draw with Cefn Druids, but Newtown did at least pick up a midweek win against Welsh League Pontypridd Town. That victory, along with the return of Kieran Mills-Evans, Ross Stephens and Luke Boundford, should give them a lift as they head to Llandudno in search of three points this weekend.
Last Saturday's big game against Bala felt like an opportunity wasted for Connah's Quay, who turned in a curiously underwhelming performance in front of the live TV cameras. They conceded their first goal of the season in disappointing fashion early on and it took a 75th-minute penalty from Matty Williams for them restore parity. Despite playing much of the second-half with a man advantage, the Nomads looked one dimensional and lacked spark – much to the annoyance of Andy Morrison, who was seething immediately after the final whistle in a blunt touchline interview with Nicky John. From a side who promise so much, the Nomads came up way short here.
I've been really impressed with how the Druids are coping so far in the top-flight and they extended their unbeaten league run to four last weekend with a 1-1 draw at Newtown. Aaron Bowen scored his first goal with a typical bustling drive into the box followed by a composed finish and a top-drawer display from stopper Michael Jones ensures they have confidence at both ends of the field. A 5-3 victory midweek against Holywell kept the momentum going but in the bread and butter of the WPL, they're right in the thick of things in mid-table and Huw Griffiths must be delighted.
Still someway off the top of the table, Bala will be the happier of the two sides in last weekend's unspectacular draw at Connah's Quay. Chris Venables scored his first goals in Bala colours midweek hitting three against Flint Town in the Nathaniel MG Cup, the Lakesiders now need to rediscover their ruthless form of last season starting with this Saturday's visit of Cefn Druids.
A 1-0 loss to Llandudno was nothing to write home about last weekend though Mark Aizlewood's strong words condemning winger Kyle Bassett's needless sending off did make for an interesting listen. They say the league table doesn't lie but Carmarthen are a better side than their record of just one win suggests – they need to start getting more points up on the board before the league table starts telling the truth!
Niall McGuinness must be delighted with his side's response to their embarrassing defeat to TNS a fortnight ago as two straight WPL wins have boosted both their confidence and their league position. Their new squad are developing a sense of self-belief and togetherness and although you worry about their lack of proven WPL quality, they're answering their critics the best way possible.
Aberystwyth's dip in form continued when they were swept aside by Bangor City on Matchday 5 that left them facing a potential banana skin in the Nathaniel MG Cup with a trip to local rivals Penrhyncoch. They overcome that test with a 2-1 win and now the new-look management team will be asking their new-look squad to iron out their form against Carmarthen.
Despite a 4-1 defeat to TNS, there were some encouraging signs for Airbus after a good first-half saw them go in at the break in front. Tuesday's cup defeat to Guilsfield was another setback however and the Wingmakers must now pick themselves up in front of the live TV cameras this weekend when they face a progressively improving Rhyl side – not an easy task when you've lost four on the bounce.
A late defeat up at Rhyl last weekend may have hit Cardiff Met hard and it was the first time this season that I can recall Christian Edwards being critical of his side's application. Confidence appears to be slipping and that's mainly due to their lack of goals in the side. Striker John Littlemore hit two as they eased to a 5-0 win over Welsh League Taffs Well in the week. If he can carry that form in the WPL, Cardiff Met will become a lot more competitive.
MD5: Bangor 4-0 Aberystwyth, Carmarthen 0-1 Llandudno, Connah's Quay 1-1 Bala, Airbus 1-4 TNS, Newtown 1-1 Cefn Druids, Rhyl 1-0 Cardiff Met.
Nathaniel MG Cup round one: Flint 1-5 Bala, Guilsfield 2-1 Airbus, Llandudno 2-1 Holyhead, Caernarfon 1-5 Rhyl, Cardiff Met 5-0 Taffs Well, Holywell 3-5 Cefn Druids, Penrhyncoch 1-2 Aberystwyth, Prestatyn 4-4 (5-7 pens) Bangor.

Pathological microscope is used in pathological laboratories for conducting investigation or examining blood tissues or other human body tissues to diagnose a disease or deficiency in the body. It is used by the pathologists to get a magnified view of the samples on a slide to identify the cause of a disease and suggest possible remedy. Pathological microscopes can be found in various designs and functional efficiency levels as per the diverse needs in accordance with the investigation to be undertaken. The make of such microscopes is very much similar to compound microscope with singular or dual eyepiece.


It is always a pleasure to teach a new art group different art techniques so it was absolutely great to be invited by Jackie Goldby who is an active member of East Keswick Art Group – an outstanding skilful art Group with mixed levels of ability known for their great work, to invite me to come and teach them recently.
Choosing a river study with flowing waters and mixed media art techniques I began to demonstrate just how responsive loose expressive watercolour can be for such a subject, especially when combined with pastel.
Choosing 'Langton Prestige', the high quality 100% cotton rag content watercolour paper by Daler-Rowney, the high white of this 'not' surface watercolour paper worked exceptionally well creating great resonance of colour and sharpness of brush stroke whilst soft pastel over watercolour washes allowed lot of different surface marks to be created with lots of beautiful and expressive effects.
It was great watching the paintings from everyone develop to wonderful finished paintings at the end of the day which everyone was proud to take home. The little show we put on right at the end was thoroughly appreciated proving once again that realistically that every artist cannot work in isolation or a vacuum and an open minded approach (which this great group most certainly had) proved dividends throughout the day.
I wish East Keswick Art Group the very best of successes and hope to be back again in the near future.

Q: Magnet insulation and Permanent magnets Is magnetic insulation possible?
From what I have seen it is not. If so Why?
Permanent magnets are not permanent? I read about that permanent magnets lose their magnetism after some time.
What does this mean.How much time or usage does it take to make it a non magnet.

A: Yes, a sheet of a superconducting material will act as a magnetic screen because magnetic fields cannot penetrate into superconductors. Actually a plate of a simple ferromagnet is not a bad magnetic screen and will block most of the magnetic field, though not all. As Jon Custer points out, there is a high relative permittivity ferromagnet called mu metal that is often used for magnetic shielding.
Your second question is a duplicate of Does a permanent magnet loose its magnetism?.

A: Here's the real answer to your questions. Super conductors don't insulate magnetic fields completely therefore they don't insulate magnetic fields. According to my experimental research on fluxons, superconductors, atoms and magnetic fields there is something called fluxons that passes through a superconductor. All these fluxons are is just condensed invisible photons. They slide through near the edges of the superconductor due to the highest magnetic flux being on the edges. Just like on permanent and electromagnets.
For permanent magnets I have done yet more experimental research on this type of stuff. To answer your questions on this we can dig deep or go shallow. If we end up going shallow there's a possibility that you won't understand what I'm saying, so we will go deep into this topic.
The usage time can vary quite a bit due to accidentally dropping or, and attaching magnets together. Basically any vibrations will accelerate the time it takes for a permanent magnet to lose its magnetic field but not its magnetic properties.
In fact due to popular belief many say that extreme heat will alter the permanent magnet to then lose its magnetic properties forever. But that's not true. According to my experimental data where I exposed neodymium, SmCo, AlNiCo, and ferrite (ceramic) magnets to melting temperatures and made them a liquid. I then let them cool down and the next thing I knew was that the magnets expectedly  lost their magnetism.
But when I heated them up with a colder flame from a typical lighter and exposed them to a magnetic field of 3 Tesla I was able to remagnetize the magnets back to normal.
But back to the question.
So how much time does it take for a permanent magnet to lose its name for being a magnet?
Well this varies VERY widely for many magnets. But let's take the Neodymium magnet (NdFeB)(Neodymium + Iron + Boron) for example. A Neodymium magnet loses 1/10th of its magnetic field over the span of 10 years. Then that means that over the span of 100 years it will lose 10/10th's of its magnetic field over 100 years. Of course under optimum or non altering conditions.
Please let me know if you have more questions and I'll answer them to my best knowledge.
:)
Note: A magnet is no longer considered a magnet if there is a negligible or small amount of magnetic field emitting from the source.


Preferably no more than two subjects.
Keep in mind that the Night Light is square so the image will be cropped to fit those proportions.
Preferably no more than three subjects.
Keep that in mind that the Medium lamp is square so the image will be cropped to fit those proportions.
The larger size lamps are less limiting because of their size.
Available in both Horizontal and Vertical orientations.
The better the quality of the image, the better the final result of the carving will be.
The resolution is too low.
Each picture is defined by pixels. If the resolution is low, the amount of pixels will be too small to properly define the picture. Often this doesn't seem the case if you have a small image. But when enlarged to the size we work with, the photo will seem very "choppy".We recommend working with a resolution of 300 dpi.
The image file is compressed.
Several of the image formats, such as jpg, compress the size of the file. This is done to save on file space. The result is that some of the variations in shades disappear. Compression can occur when saving an image file not at the highest quality. Image sharing software often compresses files as well.
If the image you submit is from a digital camera, try to send us the original file from the camera. That would be the best quality file we can get. If you need it cropped in a certain way, just let us know.
Images from cell phones vary in quality depending on the phone and the settings. Most images that come from this source are compressed in order to make the file size smaller and save memory space. If that is the only file you have, please feel free to send it to us and we will let you know if it is good enough.
Most images that come from this source are compressed in order to make the file size smaller for quicker display. The compression will, most of the time, compromise the quality of the file. If that is the only file you have, please feel free to send it to us and we will let you know if it is good enough.
Most images that come from this source are compressed in order to make the file size smaller for quicker display. The compression will, most of the time, compromise the quality of the file. Most online album have the option of supplying the file at the original quality, which may be higher. Please check the Frequently Asked Questions of the source site. If that is the only file you have, please feel free to send it to us and we will let you know if it is good enough.
Images that come from this source are often compressed in order to make the file size smaller for quicker display. That said, we have had some great results with images that were saved from social media sites. Please feel free to send it to us and we will let you know if it is good enough.
The best prints are original ones. Copies of a print and/or prints printed on your computer printer are usually compromised in quality. For best scanning practices, see below.
1. Resolution at a minimum of 300dpi (if you are ordering a bigger piece 600dpi would be even better).
2. Color Definition at the highest (1 million colors is good).
3. Make sure other filters on your scanning software do not alter the picture. For example, if you have a "sharpen" filter, turn it to "none".
4. When saving the file do NOT compress the file. Save at the highest quality.
Not sure what photo will work best with our lights?
Send us a few and our design team will recommend what they think will work best!

I believe that our society has changed. Some say we've become more sick mentally but I don't know about that. I do, however, believe we have become more fearful. Our society is fragmented. A fragmented society is a fear-based society. Further, fear causes fragmentation. Fear and fragmentation have been on the rise in this country for well over a decade almost two. Within this fragmented society we now have social media, smart phones, video games and violent video games. This is a combination for even greater fragmentation and fear. Bullying, violation, and isolation are on the rise partly, if not mostly, due to all of these technological changes. So, we have a combination of increased fear, fragmentation, and isolation. Add to that information the fact that anger is the secondary emotion that is a response/reaction to the fragmentation and its effects as well as every other fear-based emotion that may exist in this fear-based time. We are seeing bursts of anger and rage throughout this country and world. It is somewhat contagious. It is a time for release of the aggression and aggressive energies. This is a time of upheaval and scarcity. It is a time of taking and righteousness.
As a secondary issue, there is angry divisive fighting (not discussing or debating) about all these guns. That makes these weapons that much more seductive to the emotionally wrought individual who chooses to use it. Mass killings could not happen easily without the weaponry for it.
Add to all of that the ease of purchasing mass-killing weaponry and it's the perfect storm for the copycat murders of today. At the core of ALL murder (other than self defense or accident) is mental illness. It is the common denominator. We have known this for all of time! Mental illness will always exist but the style of murder changes. Those who are not stable tend to follow NOT lead. Our country and community has changed. The world has changed. The style of murder has changed with it and so we need to change the way we prevent the actions of the murderous mind or being.

Q: Webbrowser control - how do I see list of files (css, js, etc) that has been downloaded when navigating to a website? I would like to see a list of downloaded files when navigating to a new webpage in a webbrowser control. I can see them all using Google's Developer Tools (css, javascript, images, etc). But I can't seem to find it in the WebBrowser control.
private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    txtOutput.Text = txtOutput.Text + e.Url + Environment.NewLine;
}

The DocumentCompleted event is raised a few times, but only for the main page and banner urls. If I navigate to reddit.com, I see a long list of GET's of maybe 40-50 different files downloaded. How do I see them and access them in the WebBrowser control?

A: Some ideas:

*

*Create a pass-through Pluggable Protocol Handler for http and https: protocols. Any URL request would go through it.

*Run an in-process proxy server for your WebBrowser process, register it with UrlMkSetSessionOption and track all GET requests.


Hello, I am actually doing some customization on Node within the symbolpalette (eg. adding input and output ports, assigning them color etc). I need to add the content of the SymbolPaletteItem as Node with ports (Input and Output port) and also in that Node, I need to show the image with some text and also change the orientation of to display the image and text vertically in SymbolPalette. Now, when we drag and drop the custom SymbolPaletteItem, the dropped will contain the Input and Output ports and also image.
In the given sample, we have added image and text in a stackpanel, the stackpanel is then added to the content of the Node (SymbolPaletteItem).
If our solution is different from your requirement, please share /sample/video/description of your requirement. So that, we can work towards fulfilling your requirements.
I want fixed port means now we can move the ports, i want them fix in position.
We have a support to achieve your requirement .We have created simple sample to represent this. Please refer to the sample from the following link.
We have added the image with text under Custom (group name) of the symbol palette.
We have achieved your requirement by using EnablleDrawingTools and DrawingMode property of Diagram View. Please refer to the sample from the above link.
We don't have support "to expand the symbol palette groups". We have considered your requirement as feature request. In order to have a better follow up we have created new incident #135774 for this feature. Please make use of this incident for future updates.
Thank you ranjitha for your support.
I tried that solution previously.
1. I want auto connector when mouseover on ports of node, i tried but it is not working property.
I want auto connector when mouseover on ports of node, i tried but it is not working property.
We have achieved your requirement by using EnablleDrawingTools and Drawing Mode property of Diagram View. Please refer to the Video from the following link.
In the given sample, we have drag and drop the items from the groupbar to the diagram control and also set ports for the groupbar items.
Thank you for your support by may be symbolplte.zip has not loaded propery can you please resend it.
Sorry for such a question. It was some code that did not let context menu open.
In the given sample, we have added ContextMenu to the Node and Diagram View.
I used the provided code in the first reply and I am having a problem. When I add an extra node to the code and then add it to the diagram like so "diagram.Model.Nodes.Add(n2)" it is added but it cannot be moved, selected, resized or interacted with in any way, where if I drag and drop a node to the diagram it's fully functional. Do I have to invalidate something or add it to another collection? Or maybe add it in another way?
Reported Issue: Unable to drag/resize the Node.
In the sample, we have modified the IsHitTestVisible property of the newly added Node as True. By default, IsHitTestVisible property of the Node as True. In order to restrict node movement inside the Palette, we have set the IsHitTestVisible property of the Node as False. Since, we have added the node as content to the SymbolPaletteItem.
This makes total sense. It works as expected. I knew it was something very simple like that.
Thank you for the excellent support!

Letter to the Editor: Residents Would Not Be the Winners in a Princeton Merger
ByKrystal Knapp October 24, 2011 Updated October 24, 2011
The decision on consolidation boils down to two questions for me. Both questions are raised by the relatively minimal tax savings from staff cuts and a hoped-for elimination of redundancies projected by our consolidation commission.
The first question is: Presented with a choice between saving $1 a day (not counting weekends and holidays) and depriving 17 of my neighbors and fellow citizens of good, secure jobs, which do I choose?
For me it is a no-brainer: I choose to save their jobs rather than my $1, which won't even buy a cup of coffee at Small World.
The second question is: What is all this about, really? Who gains and who loses from consolidation overall?
The promised savings are not only relatively minimal; they are also not guaranteed–even if we fire 17 people, sell Borough Hall and close the Suzanne Patterson Center! And there are many expenses not included in the Commission's projections, which leave me convinced by those who say that costs seem as likely to go up as down.
Moreover, the two entities have already shown that they know how to work together (13 joint agencies and all that). If we can cooperate without consolidating, why consolidate? Why not just continue to do what we have been doing, only do it better?
The answer may be that the clear winners under consolidation are the larger (and consolidating!) institutions in town, like Princeton University, which no doubt find it exasperating (and more expensive) to deal with two heads rather than one.
A consolidated Princeton will surely enable them to implement any growth plans more easily and cheaply than the current structure. This is elementary rational choice economics. The expected opportunity cost to Borough residents of changes to the downtown is greater than it is to residents of the town as a whole. Eliminate the Borough's separate voice and the expected costs go down. Guaranteed.
For me, then, consolidation is about making it easier to develop the downtown. I support development of the downtown. But I also support making sure that all those affected by such development have a say in the conditions that affect them that is proportionate to their stake in the outcome.
Therefore I do not support consolidation.
By the way, my decision has nothing to do with presumed cultural or lifestyle differences between borough and township. Where I come from (Idaho), and from the perspective of those with whom I now work (New York City construction apprentices and teacher's aides), all Princetonians are pretty much the same—and lucky to live in such a fine community. If there is a difference, it boils down to the old real estate adage and nothing more: location, location, location.
I urge our elected officials to continue to work together to find ways in which the two municipalities can cooperate to preserve Princeton as the livable, lovable town it is. And I encourage all residents to vote yes for jobs, yes for cooperation, and "No" on consolidation.

It is a group composed of 9 girls who are: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu.In this article, you will discover: The creation and history of...
Seventeen debuted on May 26, 2015 with the song "Adore U" under Pledis Entertainment. Its name comes from the number seventeen, seventeen in English, since they added the number of members of the group, plus the 3 subunits in which it is divided, plus the whole group (13+3+1=17). They also added another meaning to the last number, which is 1 fandom.
Apink debuted on April 19, 2011 with their mini album "Seven Springs of Apink" and single "I Don't Know" under Plan A Entertainment. The "A" in their name comes from their company, "A Plan", while pink is part of their name as it is the color that represents innocence, and that was the concept they wanted to make known.
Super Junior debuted on November 6, 2005 by performing his song "Twins (Knock Out)" on the SBS Popular Song program under SM Entertainment. They are called Super Junior for "super youth", because it was a group that was going to stand out and be the best youth group.
Mamamoo debuted on June 18, 2014 with the song "Mr. Ambiguous" under the Rainbow Bridge World label. The name comes from the meaning of Mamamoo, which means "mom". This makes reference to the fact that it is one of the first words a baby says and lulls him or her to sleep, representing the intimate music they want others to hear.


If quitting smoking is on the top of your 2014 resolution list, new research may give you even more motivation to kick the habit.
Scientists say that smoking can "ruin productive sleep," by interrupting your sleep patterns. The sleep loss can lead to mood disorders, depression and anxiety, study leaders said. The research was done at the Department of Environmental Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York.
The researchers found that smoke from tobacco negatively affects the body's circadian clock function in the lungs and brain. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the circadian clock regulates the timing of periods of sleepiness and wakefulness throughout the day. The circadian rhythm dips and rises at different times of the day.
Scientists used two groups of mice for the study. One of the groups was exposed to tobacco smoke for both long and short terms. The other group was exposed to smoke-free air only. The groups' daily activities were compared and the group that inhaled smoke was found to be "considerably less active," researchers said.
Study leaders hope the results motivate people to kick the habit.
Each year, smoking causes the early deaths of about 443,000 people in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). And half of all smokers who keep smoking will end up dying from a smoking-related illness such as cancer, heart disease and stroke.
Dr. Tony Hampton, a family medicine physician with Advocate Medical Group in Chicago, says it's never too late to ditch the smoking habit.

Q: DeafultJmsListenerContainerFactory not consuming IBM MQ messages of larger sizes We are using DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory to consume messages from the IBM MQ, but it fails when we receive messages of larger size say 7.5 MB.
We have already increased the "Max Message length" for the queue.
Moreover, the message gets consumed when we shift to SimpleJMSListenerContainerFactory, but our requirement is to use DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory only.
