Q: How can I round a decimal up to the nearest x.x9 in C# As the title states I need to round decimal numbers up to the next 2 decimal place number ending in 9. for example:
1.07 -> 1.09
1.11 -> 1.19
1.99 -> 1.99

I have read through c#'s Math.round documentation but I have not been able to find anything that can accomplish this.
My current implementation is this:
x = decimal.Parse(Math.Round(x),2);
x = decimal.Parse(x.ToString().Remove(x.Length -1,1) + "9")

but this seems sloppy and efficiency matters as I will be processing 10s of thousands of items. There must be a better way.
Thanks

A: You can round down the number and then add 0.09:
Math.Floor(x * 10) / 10 + 0.09

It's a party in here! We here at Critical Distance are filling the halls with cheerily-coloured, but still very meaningful balloons in celebration of Women's History Month. I am Katie, here to deliver the first of March's This Week in Videogame Blogging round-ups curated by CD's women editors. Lots of tasty stuff here this week, friends, so let's toss a few streamers and get the funtimes started.
But I do worry about you guys, sometimes. You do know that all those pixels on a screen mean something, represent something, communicate something, right? You do know that the flickering images on a screen make you feel something, make you laugh, make you cry because, you know, they're familiar, not real, but they remind you of real circumstances, real moments of joy, real moments of tragedy?
Meanwhile, Williams' brother in the art of pixel-moving, Nick Dinicola, also has something weighty to say. About doors. Never let it be said again that the doors of Dead Space 3 are not a big deal, because they're significant constructs in the building of the entire world, man.
When talking about BioShock, Levine stated that the game acted as a Rorscarch for people (one that usually ended up in negativity, infuriating gamers who chose to engage with it on that level), and this is exactly how nostalgia is operating: it's letting us, as players and as an audience, look at the game (the mechanics, the setting) and project our own political discourse onto it.
At Gamasutra, Vlambeer's Rami Ismail has a thoughtful, well-constructed piece on the place of academia and games studies in games development, as well as the press' misconception's about his stance on the subject. As a former games student who once felt like she was "doing it wrong" in both the academic and the technical side of things, like a helpless spider whose legs are pulled in opposite directions… Rami, I know that feel, bro.
And, finally, we end with some of the nerdy videogame-to-real-world comparison stuff I just can't get enough of: trained geologist Jane Robb, writing for Gamespot, investigates the accuracy of Skyrim's geology, and whether it's up to a standard that might allow for its use in educational training.
And now it's time for me to kick y'all out so I can get to work on the cleaning the place up. Sigh. But don't take this to mean the party's over: Women's History Month has only just begun, and as usual, we'll be fielding all your recommendations on Twitter or via email. And while you're at it, check out Alan's excellent new BoRT topic, too. See you next week!


Casual comfort is easy to attain when you have a dress like this one that you can bust out. The tank style of the dress is perfect for you to feel comfortable and have a design you can recognize. The round neckline is easy to get into. It also means that you're going to have a sleeveless cut that adds comfort to your arms and shoulders. This smooth upper part of the dress gives way to a pleated section of the base. Micro-pleats and a flowing maxi-length to the dress allow you to have the kind of airflow that you're looking for. Side pockets also maintain the casual comfort that you're going for throughout the summer months. Just wash this dress along with the rest of your clothes and it will be ready for you the next time you want to wear it.

The Terps' Freshman Five
By Patrick Stevens The Washington Times - August 19, 2009, 10:43AM
Camp is just a week and a half old, and it's a little too soon to guaranteea true freshman will make it onto the field at any point this season for Maryland.
But there's certainly some guys with a much better chance than others.
And that's where this list comes in.
1. DT Zach Kerr: There might have been a chance Kerr got to redshirt after his prep school year, but Dion Armstrong's departure pretty much eliminated any chance of that. Ready or not, Kerr will almost certainly be part of Maryland's tackle rotation.
2. LB Darin Drakeford: Like Kerr, Drakeford was around for spring practice, and his six extra months in the weight room have made a noticeable difference. Maryland is untested at linebacker beyond Adrian Moten and Alex Wujciak, and Drakeford seems like a smart bet to settle in as Moten's top backup.
3. K Nick Ferrara: He might just be the first true freshman on the field if he wins the kickoff duties. The Terps gave more field goal opportunities to Mike Barbour and Nick Wallace in Saturday's scrimmage, but it seems unlikely coach Ralph Friedgen won't use his lone scholarship placekicker in some capacity.
4. RB/PR Caleb Porzel: Sure, he's a bit banged up right now. But with his quickness, Maryland could probably find a use for him this season. That could even be at punt returner, where Porzel is competing for a job with Tony Logan. If Porzel doesn't play, it wouldn't be a surprise if fellow true freshman D.J. Adams does.
5. LB Avery Murray: Another early arrival, Murray is tucked behind Wujciak and Drew Gloster at middle linebacker. Still, he got plenty of reps in the spring, and Friedgen is always looking for athletic guys who can run hard to play on special teams. Given the depth of Maryland's linebacker class, it wouldn't be the worst thing to spread out that group to avoid losing all at once down the road.

Renowned worldwide for its high quality silk lingerie processes, beautiful designs and up-to-date industry know-how, Marjolaine is the characteristic French design house, and has been for nearly a century.
La Maison Marjolaine was established in humble beginnings by Roger Millet Desdoitils, known affectionately by the company as the great grandfather, in Villeurbanne, a district of Lyon. Between the world wars, Desdoitils' boutique workshop specialised in wools, linens, layettes and hand-sown garments for the discerning French client. But the post-war citizens of the small Lyonnais commune were in no position to take on hand-made items of fine quality, and so Desdoitils took his products on the road, selling his wares to the highest-quality boutiques and most selective clientele in Southern France. Since then, Desdoitils' descendents have taken up the mantel of selling their exquisite product all around the globe, first under the direction of Nicole and now, Desdoitils' granddaughter, Carole. The brand has been steered in very different directions with each step of its leadership. And in its current iteration, Marjolaine's focus is on responding to the demands of its selective customers, as well as a focus more on the material, the couture, the quality of production, rather than on global marketing and brand recognition. The primary material used in its vast seasonal ranges is silk, and many, if not all of the products in Marjolaine's collection feature a certain amount of highly sought after, well sourced lace. The company even uses the same supplier of lace that was used for the Cambridges' wedding.
The products that we have selected for our Marjolaine collection range from camisole-and-shorts sets, to lacy chemises, to long and short robes, to elegant, silky night dresses. It is in their simple style and excellent use of flowing, silky materials that sets Marjolaine apart from the rest. There is no doubt about it, Marjolaine know how to make us feel feminine. Marjolaine was introduced to the UK in 1999 through Alba Associates, one of UK Lingerie's and UK Swimwear's most reliable agents. Marjolaine's representatives in the UK have previously described the British fashion scene as "daring" - and they are certainly not wrong (think Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen, to name but two).

Q: How to set X position of a flexbox in CSS? at the moment I'm just playing around with flexbox, trying to figure things out, at the moment I've made:

with the following code:

.container-1 {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
}

.container-1 div {
  border: 1px #ccc solid;
  padding: 10px;
}

.box-1 {
  flex: 1;
  flex: 0 0 0%;
}

.box-2 {
  flex: 1;
  flex: 0 0 0%;
}

.box-3 {
  flex: 5;
  flex: 0 0 60%;
}

Box One

This is my first paragraph!

Box Two

This is my second paragraph!

Box Three

This is my third paragraph!

Say that I wanted my paragraph 3 to be a sidebar that appears on the right hand side of the screen, how would I do that? Without flex, I'd probably use position: absolute; width: 20%; left: 80%;
or something like that, but I don't think that works with flexboxes. Thanks for helping!

A: First, if you write the same rule for the same element twice it will be overridden:
.box-2 {
  flex: 1;
  flex: 0 0 0%; /* Only this will be interpreted as a rule */
}

Second, if you want the third element to be 20% width and be on the right side, you need to do something like this:
.box-1 {
  flex: 1;
}

.box-2 {
  flex: 1;
}

.box-3 {
  flex: 0 0 20%;
}

Third, I wouldn't recommend building layouts with flexbox, I would use instead grids https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layout/Grids

Box One

This is my first paragraph!

Box Two

This is my second paragraph!

Box Three

This is my third paragraph!

A: Is this what you want to achieve ? :)

.container-1 {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
}

.container-1 div {
  border: 1px #ccc solid;
  padding: 10px;
}

.box-1 {
  flex: 1;
  flex: 0 0 0%;
}

.box-2 {
  flex: 1;
  flex: 0 0 0%;
}

.box-3 {
  flex: 5;
  flex: 0 0 60%;
  display: flex;
  /* ADDED */
  justify-content: space-between;
  /* ADDED */
  align-items: center;
  /* ADDED */

A: In order to consider a side bar, wherever it may be placed on the screen (top as a header, bottom as a footer, left, right), you first need to consider its positioning as a block element in HTML. For that, please look at how I have re-arranged the HTML elements, the order matters because we do not need to use position: absolute at all when considering block element positioning.
Now that is done, consider how flex allows you to manage the spacing and alignment of the blocks. I have asked flex to do space-between between the box container and the sidebar container. I have also asked flex to manage the positioning of the box elements in the box container div.
This understanding is crucial, being able to look outside the code and visualize the positioning of the block elements will empower you to seek the more correct implementation.
Also as a bonus, I have re-named your class names to be more meaningful to their purpose; and I have also added some color to help you identify the block elements more easily.
Edit: I noted you are using the flex property to set the width or rather flex-grow behavior of each box. I have modified my snippet to reflect this based on your code, this should allow for responsive behavior.

.container {
    display: flex;
    align-items: space-between;
}

.container .box-container {
    background-color: green;
    border: 1px #ccc solid;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    width: 100%;
}

.container .box-container > div {
    background-color: white;
    flex: 0;
}

.container .box-container > div, .sidebar {
    border: 1px #ccc solid;
    padding: 10px;
}

.container .sidebar {
    background-color: blue;
    display: flex;
    flex: 5;
}

Although you might already be infatuated with the name of your small business, you must ensure someone else hasn't already claimed it. This helps you verify your company's name is unique. Otherwise, it could violate trademark law by being too similar to the name of an existing business, in your state or any other, and whose operations are in close relation to your product or service.
Conducting a thorough due diligence check before registering the business entity or buying the domain name will help you avoid future costs in marketing, rebranding and even a possible lawsuit.
Before conducting even the simplest of searches, brainstorm a short list (preferably of five to ten) of possible business names. If you're stuck, use different words and phrases to say your business name. Get creative! Play around with adjectives, nouns, and adverbs. Not only will this list help you search for pre-existing business names, it will also come in handy if someone else has already claimed your business name. To be sure that you are in no danger of encroaching on a business name or trademark, also add variations in spelling or wording of your potential business names.
Now it's time to conduct a basis online search with a major search engine, because similarities to your chosen moniker will likely show up here. You should investigate further to see if that business offers a product or service comparable to yours. If there are no readily apparent matches, it does not necessarily mean you are in the clear.
When you are nearly certain you can use your business name, go to the Small Business Administration's website and find the contact information for each state's secretary of state's online business registry database. Search your selection as well as variations in each one. If there are no matches, then move to checking with your county clerk's list of Doing Business As (DBA) names.
Don't panic if your preferred name is already taken. You may still be able to use it if you are offering a clearly different product or service or are in different states. You can contact your state's secretary of state's corporations division. They can work with you to determine that you meet the legal requirements to still use the name.
Once you have a confirmed business name, register it right away, even if you are not ready to conduct business operations. The name may not be available six weeks or six months from now, and the small cost of ensuring it is yours to use early in your preparation will be worth it.
You can register your name through your state government. Procedures will vary depending on your chosen type of legal entity (sole proprietor, LLC, corporation, etc.). Most states require you to at least register as a DBA if you are conducting business under any name other than your given legal name.
Your business name will be the cornerstone of your marketing efforts. By protecting it from the beginning, you ensure it will stand strong against any branding or legal challenges along the way.

Q: Match string between ; and % I wish to extract the decimal value in the string without the % sign. So in this case, I want the numeric 0.45
x <- "document.write(GIC_annual[\"12-17 MTH\"][\"99999.99\"]);0.450%"
str_extract(x, "^;[0-9.]")

My attempt fails. Here's my thinking.

*

*Begin the extraction at the semicolon ^;

*Grab any numbers between 0 and 9.

*Include the decimal point

A: You also have this option:
stringr::str_extract(y, "\\d\\.\\d{1,}(?=%)")
[1] "0.450"

So basically you look ahead and check if there is % or not, if yes, you capture the digits before it.
Details
\\d digit;
\\. dot;
\\d digit;
{1,} capturing 1 or more digit after .;
(?=%) look ahead and check if there is % and if there is one, it retuns captured number

A: Since you don't want semi-colon in the output use it as lookbehind regex.
stringr::str_extract(x, "(?<=;)[0-9]\\.[0-9]+")
#[1] "0.450"

In base R using sub :
sub('.*;([0-9]\\.[0-9]+).*', '\\1', x)


The second edition of annual New Polish Poster Exhibition (NPPE) will this year be focusing on social posters representing current social issues among which is discrimination of women's and LGBT community's rights with an emphasis on present conditions in Poland.
The exhibition will feature a collection of posters made by some of the most prolific young Polish graphic designers whose works address contemporary social issues.
Though fascinated by the posters availability and potential for populistic influence, we consider it an ambiguous art-form, as it is still unclear whether we should define posters as graphic commodities or art. With its initial mass distribution in the streets, the poster is today generally considered an object of art and is thus featured in galleries and museums world-wide. It has even transcended into its own branch of art-practise. Notwithstanding, the poster will predominantly remain a conveyor of information and an agent of non-verbal communication in public spaces. This makes the poster a form of expression, sometimes even a manifesto. By its very anatomy, comprised of both written information and visual cues, the poster pose the unique ability of quickly connecting with its audience, while leaving a long-lasting imprint of its overall message. The function of the poster in present day remains important and we see it being used to express the opinions of social groups, illustrate dogmatic reforms and provoke discussions. That is why the contemporary poster exhibition is both an artistic and social event: celebrating the form, the conceptual content and their synergy.
While considering the social poster's relevance and importance in a contemporary setting, we would like to use this part of the event as a segue into a more in-depth discussion on the topics of diversity and equality. Hence during the exhibition's opening night, we will be hosting a talk on topics related to capital social issues, such as racism and gender discrimination. In particular we will be talking about LGBT community- for whom the exhibition is dedicated – and consider the challenges their members have to face in Poland, before comparing these to the current state of things in Scotland.
The opening is on February 17th at the Old Hairdressers at 18.00. More details can be found here.
