There is a spectacular view seeing a big school fish that moves in unison as though it is a single creature, you may ponder about who is in control, who gives the orders? How close they stay? Why they seem to be selected differently? Here are details of what you need to know before introducing a school fish to your tank.
Association is regular among various species of fishes, and it is estimated to about eighty percent of species of fishes live closely for a while. Fry and eggs often are known for the time they spend in the schools, they spend a lot of time when compared to the large species that can feed themselves.
This is because the fish moving is not really as easy as just meeting a colony and swimming with them. They swim so close that one may be confused about how they possibly fit into each other. It is necessary to know that they have a leader.
Let us know the difference between Schooling vs shoaling
The word school means the act of a group of fish swiming in the same way in an orderly fashion. Meanwhile, shoaling is the first meeting of the colony for association or better put for schooling. Again, the fishes school elsewhere and become shaol when they are no longer feeding. Shoalers only meet sometimes to either feed or breed.
How does school live together? A variety of senses are employed to keep the schools together, while vision is important , and the use of pheromones all help fish to what the school is doing and well, they are in the school. Predator avoidance Schools are made up of thousands or hundreds of similar fish that confuse creatures and make it difficult to extract and attack a single fish.
An extreme but common response of schools attacked by creatures is the construction of a circle. These behaviors are unique and very common among many species of living things and nature. it becomes difficult for predators to select one prey from groups because many moving targets create an overload of the visual's channel of the predator.
Feeding It makes it easier for some fish to find food. With a lot of vigilant eyes, the school can find potential victims. The school is not controlled by a single fish. It only appears if there are enough members who follow a set of relevant rules.
The idea and the act of schooling equally improves the fish's ability to get a mate and reproduce. A lot of fishes congregate in schools where they need to mate, but also could be the other side. Some schools could be only females. All of them protecting themselves from male harassment. More so, the eggs fertilize more in a colony as it should instead of having fishes feed.
Cories are active little catfish that roam around your tank, cleaning the uneaten food that falls on the substrate. About 1-3 inches in size and fun to watch. You can think of them as part of your aquarium sanitation staff.
But some people don't realize that cories need to stay in school. Keeping cory fish in groups helps to manage their stress levels. When they are close to others like them, they are happy and healthy.
Make sure you throw a few sinking pellets in the tank during their feeding so that your cories have enough food.
They are usually peaceful and make amazing additions to the aquarium. Males are bright red in color while females are subdued.
Also, you will not usually find them hanging in a tight group like the neon ones do, but it is still important to have enough of them to avoid stress. It is also a good idea to put two females to one male, to avoid the female being stressed.

White cloud minnows are cold-water fish. When tropical fish thrive in temperatures between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the minnows prefer a temperature of about ten degrees cooler.
It's always best to keep them in a tank of their own or with other fish that can tolerate cold temperatures such as cories, guppies, and zebra danios. You always want to do some research before you bring the fish home, but that's especially true with white minnows of clouds.
"Otocinclus" by AJC1 is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
Many new aquarium owners are looking for algae-eating fish to help keep the area spiffy. They are looking at Plecostomus, a suckerfish that always clings to the side of the tank. The only problem is that the adult pleco can reach the size of two feet and is not suitable for most aquariums.
Instead, many owners of fresh aquarium water could be better off with an otocinclus catfish school. Otos look like small plecos and will cling to glass in the same way. Its best to house them in groups and avoid keeping them together with large fish that could eat them. Make sure you feed algae wafers so you know your otos are getting enough food.
"Neon Tetra" by michelle.khuu is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0
Neon is among the most colorful freshwater fish in your aquarium. They are small – about an inch long as adults – so do not include them with large fish that may see them as a snack. They do better when they are in groups than alone.
"File:01.Rasbora heteromorpha.jpg" by Juan R. Lascorz is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0
Harlequin rasboras are peaceful and grows to a few inches in height. They have a reddish-orange color on their sides, aligned with their black markings on their tails. These fish usually survive amidst the colony of six and the big schools are appreciated.
These types can be adapted to which fosters it as a better choice for its starters. As with the other small fish, avoid including them with large tank partners that can be viewed as lunch. Alternatively, the harlequin rasbora is a colorful and easy fish to keep in your tank.
"Tiger Barb" by cb_agulto is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
Tiger barbs are attractive fish with striking black stripes. They are aggressive and they have a reputation for being the last bullies.
You can put them in a group of six or more to help keep them calm, but they can still be kept with other semi-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping them with fish that have flowing long fins.
"zebra danio (stripe)" by bob_jenkins is licensed under CC BY 2.0
They are small, peaceful fish and are best kept in a peaceful community tank and other peaceful fish that are not big enough to eat them. Remember: Big fish eat small fish, so whenever you put in a small fish like Zebra Danio you should be careful.
"Baltimore–October 19 2007–National Aquarium–Hatchet Fish" by Makuahine Pa'i Ki'i is licensed under CC BY 2.0
This is one of the coolest fish out there, but not for everyone. Hatchet fish is peaceful and lives in the upper part of the water column. However, they are easily alarmed and use an interesting strategy to escape predators. Jump out of the water!
In the wild, the jumping hatchet fish will return to the river. In a home aquarium, it may jump out of your tank. It is very important that you make sure that your entire aquarium is tightly covered if you intend to keep them.
"Black Skirt Tetra" by Ken_Lord is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0
Bigger than neon and a better choice if you have big fish in your tank. Their slender bodies with black stripes and flowing black fins make them look like sharp fish. Keep them in groups of six or more and give them at least a 15 gallon tank. Like most tetras, they will enjoy an aquarium with many medium and long vegetation.
The fish shared above will definitely be healthier, happier, colorful, and less stressed; they will be more colourful when they are in bigger numbers, colonies, or groups.
You can build a small school in your aquarium, and be filled with relaxation and entertainment that the species of school fishes will be much smaller, less prone to hiding in the shadows and can enhance the look and function of your entire tank and everything that goes together, is worth it!

Sim Fryson, an Allegheny West Conference Shiloh church member in Huntington, W.Va., recently experienced a miracle driving on a busy highway in Charleston, W.Va. He saw a woman standing on the side of the road with a baby in her arms, frantically trying to flag someone down. Fryson stopped, saw that the child was not breathing and administered CPR. Thanks to his quick action, the child survived.
What might Ellen White, one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, say to addicts today? Cheri Peters, founder of True Step Ministries, recently edited White's classic book Steps to Christ with what she thinks is the answer to that question. "It's crazy that nobody has done it before," says Peters, who aimed to update the book into modern language and added specific recovery jargon to the text.
The Ohio Conference Executive Committee voted on September 5, to accept the gift of a $3.2-million, fully-furnished office building, located in the greater Dayton area.

Denver TV station airs vulgar/hilarious doctored photo of Broadwell's book
Taylor Bigler Entertainment Editor
November 13, 2012 2:53 PM ET
As the Gen. David Petraeus sex scandal unfolds, it only keeps getting more and more confusing. So it's understandable that a news organization may get their facts wrong here and there while reporting the developing story.
But no news organization has made an error as glaring/hilarious as KMGH-ABC Denver.
During a segment about the affair, the station aired a doctored photo of Paula Broadwell's book about her mentor/ "lover" called "All Up in My Snatch", AmericaBLOG first noted. This is, of course, not the title of the book and it is actually called "All In: The Education of David Petraeus."
When contacted by the Weekly Standard, the news desk confirmed that it ran the incorrect photo saying, "It was a mistake."
Looking for a job in the Denver area? One may be opening up at KMGH very soon.

TMA Weighs In on Bills to Ban Vaccine Mandates
By Amy Lynn Sorrel
Taking science-based interventions like vaccinations off the table during an ongoing public emergency is like telling coastal residents they can't board up their windows or fill sandbags as a hurricane approaches.
That was the dire message Dallas public health specialist and chair of the Texas Medical Association Council on Legislation John Carlo, MD, delivered on behalf of medicine to the Texas Legislature last week as lawmakers consider a pair of bills that aim to codify Gov. Greg Abbott's recent executive order banning vaccine mandates.
"No entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine by any individual, including an employee or a consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19," Abbott wrote.
His order comes as the Biden administration prepares to implement its federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Filed during Texas' third special session set to end Tuesday night, House Bill 155 by Rep. Tom Oliverson, MD (R-Cypress), would let workers and customers opt out of any vaccine requirements by businesses and goes so far as to let workers sue their employers for being sidelined from work due to their vaccination status. Senate Bill 51 by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) more broadly bans local governments, schools, universities, and private employers from enacting COVID-19 vaccine mandates, and goes even further to allow exemptions from all required vaccinations based on conscience.
During hours-long hearings held last Wednesday and Thursday before the House and Senate State Affairs committees respectively, Dr. Carlo reiterated TMA's unchanged stance that local autonomy – not universal mandates – is key to addressing pandemic surges when and where they erupt and therefore curbing mass spread of COVID-19.
"Our only consideration is patient health and safety," he testified. "We do not seek mandates in support of our position. However, we do support local, community-oriented, evidence-based education and intervention that allow physicians and other frontline clinicians to treat Texans who are vulnerable, unable to be vaccinated, living in nursing homes, or disabled."
Dr. Carlo also expressed medicine's deep concerns that unilateral exemptions from or bans on COVID-19 vaccines not only undermine local autonomy, but also endanger medical professionals and put patients and colleagues who cannot fight infectious disease at severe risk just for things like going to work.
"A [nonmedical] exemption protects no one from this rapacious contagion," Dr. Carlo said.
He also cautioned lawmakers that without flexibility to implement proven public health tools like vaccines, the current COVID-19 crisis stands to be compounded with flu season around the corner and a rise in "long COVID" cases as the number of Texans diagnosed with COVID-19 increases.
"We implore and urge you to please allow all employers and schools – public, private, and independent – to make sovereign decisions regarding vaccination policy for their own workforces, patrons, and students."
As of this writing, HB 155 and SB 51 had yet to advance out of their respective chambers. Visit TMA's Grassroots Action Center to help stop these bills.

Civil Harassment Mediation
Althea Halchuck
A pilot program started in 2004 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court (LASC) called the "Civil Harassment Mediation Program" (CHMP). The premise of the program is to mediate civil harassment restraining order (RO) cases, typically those that involve neighbors, former friends, co-workers, etc., after a temporary restraining order (TRO) has been issued but before the final RO request is heard before a judge. The goal of the pro bono mediator is to help the parties sort through their issues and come to an understanding, i.e. a settlement that will either vacate the TRO or come up with terms that satisfy both the parties and the court. The goal is that there will be no more threats or harassment and, hopefully, a solution allowing them to move on with their lives.
As a mediator, I was somewhat reluctant to take on this task because my experience with restraining orders was in Massachusetts as a volunteer court advocate. There, I helped victims of domestic violence file for RO's against abusive/violent partners, some of whom would appear in court on the day of the hearing, in shackles, glaring at the victim and cursing me under their breath. In my six years with that program I had heard many stories of "love" gone wrong and too often had seen children used as pawns and as witnesses to their parent's rage and sometimes, destruction. However, since the LASC court program was not intended for Domestic Violence RO's, I agreed to give it a try.
My schedule with the CHMP was to arrive at my assigned court on a Tuesday morning at 8:30 AM and wait as the judge/magistrate read through the list of cases until he/she came to one that I might mediate. Since the program is voluntary, the parties would have to agree to mediate and sometimes finding a case that was eligible would take the better part of the morning. Waiting in the courtroom, I heard Family Court cases involving spousal support, custody disputes and the usual "no, it's my house/car/stereo" issues about which separating couples often fight. I was most impressed with the judges who had to sort out these issues on a daily basis while keeping their decorum as well as their sense of humor. These family disputes, however, were not my cases; mine usually involved, for example, a contractor who allegedly made threats against a homeowner, co-workers squabbling over hurtful words spoken in the heat of an argument, or neighbor versus neighbor disputes that seemed to take on a life of their own. These cases were more like it, the reason why I became a mediator; helping people solve their thorny problems and having them come away from the process relieved to put the dispute in the past.
Restraining order cases can be difficult because the mediations involve not only parties whose emotions run high, but also because one of the parties is fearful of the other party, otherwise they would not have filed for an RO. In every case I have mediated, both parties are tense, somewhat combative and money is not the solution, unlike some other civil cases I mediate. The process is mostly facilitative with a little evaluative and transformative woven in. I became well versed in the criteria judges use in granting an RO and was able to give the parties a "reality check" as to what I thought their success might be in either getting an RO for an extended period or vacating a TRO. Additionally, I tried to help them get past their differences and forge a new future, especially if they needed to continue their relationship down the road. All this needed to be done in about two hours. This meant mediating with the parties, often in caucus (due to the fear factor), then, hopefully, helping them write a settlement agreement and getting an approval from the sitting judge before noon, when the court personnel go to lunch.
My most meaningful case involved one that was assigned through the Los Angeles Superior Court – ADR office. Two LASC judges requested a mediator who specialized in real estate to mediate two different restraining orders involving some of the same parties. This case was a mix of family and non-family members, and just sorting out the who's who took well over an hour.
One TRO involved 2 brothers, both over 50, who shared a life estate in a house left to them by their parents. Brother #1 resided in the house and was diagnosed, by his siblings, as developmentally challenged, barely able to read or write, but capable of living on his own. Brother #2 lived 10 miles away but came to the house on a regular basis to check on the welfare of his brother, feed the dog he left behind and practice his music (he played in a band on weekends) in a soundproof room he had built for this purpose many years before. Brother #1 claimed Brother #2 had verbally abused and threatened him.
The other TRO was between Brother #2 and the boyfriend of Brother #1's daughter who had 3 children with the boyfriend. Brother #2 claimed the boyfriend threatened him and his sisters when the boyfriend came over with the daughter and the grandchildren to visit Brother #1. Others involved in the dispute were 3 older sisters and a niece of the 2 brothers, as well as an attorney representing Brother #2. While this case was purported to be about real estate, it was more about sibling rivalries, bad tempers, ulterior motives, alcohol abuse and money concerns.
For the better part of five hours there were tales and finger pointing from each of the parties, mostly in caucus, as to the issues as they each saw them. There were no simple solutions, as these problems had been brewing for years and, given the nature of the family dynamics, would continue long after the mediation. At the end of the day, the parties crafted a settlement agreement which was little more than a formal truce and visitation schedules between the parties which both judges accepted, thus vacating both TRO's. I felt that an actual resolution of the issues between these parties would be a long time coming and require much more than this one mediation. However, the parties thanked me for helping them work out these particular issues and left relieved to have a plan.
As a final note, one of the judges sought me out later that day and thanked me for my diligence in helping the parties reach a settlement that he thought was not possible. In over three years of mediating for LASC and helping hundreds of parties reach settlements, that was the first time a judge ever personally thanked me for my efforts and it was most appreciated. Next to the two brothers talking heart to heart and finally airing some of their issues, that was the best part of the day.

Marvell and Analog Devices announce 5G Massive MIMO Radio Unit Solutions
Marvell and Analog Devices, Inc. have announced an advanced 4G/5G radio unit (RU) design that supports high antenna counts and multi-gigabit per second throughput for both integrated RAN and Open RAN deployments.
This is a product release announcement by Analog Devices Inc. & Marvell Inc.. The issuer is solely responsible for its content.
Leveraging the companies' complementary radio silicon and RU software suite, the next-generation massive MIMO RU design that results from this collaboration will deliver power, weight and performance improvements inherent with ASIC solutions for both integrated RAN and Open RAN deployments. As 5G deployments continue to ramp, network operators are increasingly seeking higher capacity RU systems to deliver the performance expected by their customers. The ADI-Marvell solution will enable a growing number of OEMs to bring competitive solutions to the market, enabling additional capacity for existing radio sites. With an ongoing shift toward Open RAN, the newly launched solutions will provide native support for O-RAN split 7.2x functionality. "Our goal in joining with ADI in this effort was to provide a complete, open standards-based RU platform, one that leverages what each company does best," said Raj Singh, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Marvell's Processor Business Group. "We wanted to minimise the amount of silicon required to deliver massive MIMO RU solutions capable of supporting 32T32R performance, along with beamforming and DFE functions. ADI's transceiver solutions align perfectly with our RU and digital unit baseband offerings – it's exactly what the industry has been seeking in next generation RU designs." "The demand for much higher capacity radio units is exploding," said Joe Barry, Vice President of the Wireless Communications Business Unit at ADI. "Together with Marvell, we are able to get ahead of the curve and help the industry transition to 32T32R – or even higher capacity – radio units. At the same time, by providing differentiated radio architectures and algorithms we are allowing the operators to effectively manage both their capital and operating expenses." The 5G massive MIMO RU solutions will incorporate ADI's next-generation transceiver technology, including an advanced, programmable digital front-end. Marvell is providing its baseband silicon, which offers beamforming and a lower L1 software supporting O-RAN split 7.2. The solutions provide complete system-level hardware reference designs developed in collaboration with Benetel, a leading innovator in RU solutions. Initial prototypes are expected in latter half of 2021.


While sorting through mail the other day, I realized that Kaden has way too many school pictures. I know it's important to capture each year through the eye of a camera lens, but I always forget to pass his pictures out, thus wasting money.
I'm dressed in all peach (scrunchie to match) with patent shoes (Oaktown 3.5.7) and almost-knee socks. If this isn't fashion at it's finest, then I don't know what it is.
I'm sure there will be several years of not-so-perfect pictures to fill the frames at our house and others who are blessed with his portraits (LOL). Maybe at his graduation I can make a poster with all his grade school pictures that reads, "You'll always be my baby!"
Not sure he's going to like it much. At least he didn't have to wear all peach. What were you thinking mom?!
Let's see if this comment will register as well.


Liberata Mulamula, now an Elliott School visiting scholar, shared stories with the Women's Leadership Program about her 35 years as a diplomat.
Tanzania's former Ambassador to the United States Liberata Mulamula, now a visiting scholar and acting director of the Institute for African Studies at the Elliott School of International Affairs, riveted students in the Elizabeth J. Somers Women's Leadership Program Thursday evening with stories about how she moved through the diplomatic ranks of her country.
In a career that spanned 35 years, Ms. Mulamula was often mistaken as a student or an official's daughter when she started out as the Republic of Tanzania's delegate to the United Nations, seated among the powers of the United States, the United Kingdom and the then-Soviet Union.
"I was so small. I was a tiny woman," she said.
Cynthia Vance Steele, a graduate of Mount Vernon College, a former member of the GW Board of Trustees and an award-winning television journalist, moderated the conversation with Ms. Mulamula at Post Hall on the Mount Vernon Campus.
There was no better place than the United Nations to be schooled in international diplomacy, Ms. Mulamula told the students.
Ms. Mulamula retired in 2016. She initially wanted to be a journalist, but the socialist government of Tanzania, which paid for her education, decided otherwise.
Her biggest challenge and proudest achievement of her diplomatic career was negotiating peace agreements in conflict-torn central Africa, where she witnessed the horror of the Rwandan genocide.
"Within 90 days, almost 1 million people were killed, butchered, not even using guns but by machetes," she said.
As the first executive secretary of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region of Africa for Peace, Stability and Development, she helped to negotiate the return of the Tutsis to Rwanda after many years in exile in a power-sharing arrangement that extreme elements in the conflict opposed.
"Fast forward, Rwanda is now the country that is doing better than any other country in terms of the representation of women in parliament," she said, noting that women make up 64 percent of Rwanda's representatives.
During negotiations, Ms. Mulamula said she often relied on maternal instinct.
Working as a diplomat for more than three decades was not easy, she said, and her career path would have been impossible without the support of her family, especially her husband.
"For me diplomacy is not a job. It is like an obligation. It's a calling," she told students, several of whom asked how she balanced her career and personal life. Ms. Mulamula said that the work required sacrifice and that her family often lost out.
Her final posting was as ambassador to the United States during the administration of President Barack Obama. Mr. Obama chose Tanzania to host the first Africa–U.S. summit and asked her to help organize it.
She has long answered to her government but is now free to do what she wants to do. So, she teaches an Elliott School course, "Women and Leadership in Africa." The class examines among other things, how women in Africa used the international conferences on women in Beijing and Mexico as well as Millennium Development Goals to set benchmarks that help countries shape policies.
"No country can develop with more than 50 percent of the population being left out," said Ms. Mulamula.

When you want functional pants that stand up to the tough wear, dirt, and mess of a workday yet still look crisp and professional, these Wrangler Workwear Men's Black WP80 BK Canvas Cargo Work Pants are the perfect choice.
Constructed with a tough canvas weave in a 7.5-ounce blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, these men's work trousers are made for hard days on the job. And because keeping workwear looking good shouldn't be another full-time job, these men's bottoms are finished to retain color, release soil, and resist wrinkles. Care for them with industrial wash, light soil, or home wash them.
They're built tough, too, with double-needle stitching and reinforced front pockets to help keys from causing holes.
How do they fit? The rise is slightly lower than traditional work pants for a contemporary look. They feature darts above the hip pockets for a better fit. And the inseam features a gusset -- extra fabric that provides greater freedom of movement for bending, stretching, and stooping. The belt loops are longer and wider, ideal for work belts.
When it comes to utility, you can't beat this design. In addition to two 13-inch slacks-style front pockets, there are two set-in hip pockets, with a button closure on the left pocket. In addition, each leg features a side cargo pocket made with a center and bottom bellows for more storage room, plus an exterior utility pocket that closes with a snap. You'll have plenty of sturdy secure spots to stow your stuff when you choose this practical pair of trousers. Offered here in black, they'll go with shirts, sweaters, and jackets of any color.
For soil-resistant, wrinkle-resistant workwear pants that are both durable and professional, buy these Wrangler Workwear Men's Black WP80 BK Canvas Cargo Work Pants from the workwear experts here at Working Person's Store. Order today!
I decided to order a pair of these wrangler work pants for my job as a police officer and I am pleased with the products. They have nice size cargo pockets as well as a few little integrated pockets where I can store gear for easy access. They are durable just like my other work pants and have a good amount of play in the crotch region for running and full movement.
They feel like a canvas material but are very comfortable to wear and keeps me cool in the sun, plus it has deep pockets on the sides. I have a similar pair, from Wrangler, but they are more clothey and didn't hold up well, and I'm hard on my pants, plus and best of all I can get them in a 36Wx36L, very hard to find at such a good price.
Wrangler Workwear Pants: Men's Black WP80 BK Canvas Cargo Work Pants is being added to your cart.

Q: Problem building JSON file want to get all db entries by a specific hash and return it as json. I use the following code:
@tasks = Task.find_all_by_hash(params[:hash])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.json { render :json => @tasks }
  end

now i have the problem that my json file isn't correct. it has the following output:
[
{
task: {
hash: "9dfca619f00f5488785f6b74ad1b590beefaee7a88c04884bf197e7679f3"

}
},
{
task: {

},
...
]

but actually i want it like this:
{ tasks: [

{"id":"1","date_added":"0001-02-22 00:00:00","post_content":"Check out my content, this is loaded via ajax and parsed with JSON","author":"Ryan Coughlin"},

{"id":"2","date_added":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","post_content":"More content, loaded. Lets try to add a form in and post via ajax and append the new data","author":"Billy Bob"}

]}

any advice?  thank you!

A: Try collecting the task alone to an array and create a json object using that. Some thing like
@tasks = Task.find_all_by_hash(params[:hash])
a = []
  @tasks.each do |t|
  a << t[:task]
  end
  b = {:tasks => a}

 respond_to do |format|
  format.json { render :json => b }
end

We're very excited to have LogoCore Student @YesqArts record a step-by-step tutorial on his approach to complex logo design. The tutorial can be followed by any skill level, and the showcased techniques can be used within any vectoring software!
The logo will be built using a hexagon shape. Click and hold the Ellipse Tool from the left toolbar and select the Polygon Tool. Left-click on your document and a dialog window will pop up with options to generate a new polygon shape. Change the total sides to 6, change the radius to 30px, and then click OK. You should see a new hexagon shape appear in your document!
You can optionally align the hexagon to the center of your document's artboard. Open the Align panel by going to Window > Align. Click the Align To icon and select Artboard. Afterward, select your hexagon and select both of the Align Middle icons from the Align Objects row.
The logo's core shape will be built with several strokes using Illustrator's Appearance panel.
Select the fill layer and click the delete button from the bottom-right of the menu.
Select the existing stroke layer and give it a black color by clicking the tiny swatch icon. Then click the text 'Stroke' on the appearance's layer and select the option Align Stroke To Inside from the Align Strokes row.
Change the Stroke Weight to 9pt.
We have to repeat the previous step to create 4 additional strokes.
On the Appearance panel select New Stroke from the bottom left. This will generate a new stroke in your hierarchy with a 9pt Stroke Width and keep the previous stroke's options to have an inside alignment.
Select the new stroke, go to the effects menu on the bottom-left of the Appearance menu, select Path, and select Offset Path. Choose to offset by 18pt, joins by miter, and with a meter limit of 4.
You should now have a hexagon with two identical 9pt strokes that have a distance of 9pt between them because of the 18pt offset.
We have to repeat the previous step two more times.
Add another stroke with a 36pt offset and keep the same 9pt stroke width.
Finally, add another stroke with a 54pt offset and keep the same 9pt stroke width.
You should now have a hexagon shape with four district strokes that are each separated by a 9pt distance.
Seelect the Hexagon and go to Object > Exapnd Appearance. This step will transform your graphic style into editable shape layers that have anchor points.
Select your expanded paths with the Selection Tool (V) and go to Object > Ungroup.
Use the Rectangle Tool (M) from the left menu to create a new rectangle that has a 9pt height and a 50pt width. Place it horizontally on the smallest hexagon.
Select the rectangle, go to Edit > Copy, and then Edit > Paste in Front. Move the new rectangle 9pts upwards. Repeat this process until you have overlapped a rectangle over the hexagon's last stroke.
Go to Window > Appearance and then select all of your shapes and select Divide from the panel. This will separate all of the overlapping objects into their own separate shapes.
Use the Direct Selection (A) tool to select unnecessary shapes and delete them. Use the picture below as a reference.
Open the Pathfinder menu by going to Window > Pathfinder. Then select the entire object with the Selection Tool (V) and select Merge from the Pathfinder menu.
Instead of repeating the previous steps, we're going to use radial symmetry to continue the geometric pattern inside of the hexagon.
From the left menu, select the Pen Tool (P) and create a triangular shape from the hexagon's middle-right vertex to the center of the hexagon to the hexagon's top-right vertex. You can click directly on the hexagon's point with the pen tool to ensure the triangle is perfectly overlapping 1/6th of the hexagon.
Select both shapes, go to Window > Pathfinder, and select Divide. Use the Direct selection (A) tool to delete the shape fragments that were created around the triangle you vectored. It is very important that you do not delete the inner triangle shape.
From the left menu, select the Pen Tool and create a triangular shape from the middle-right hexagon vertex to the center of the hexagon, and complete the shape on the top-right hexagon vertex. You can click directly on the hexagon's point with the pen tool to ensure the triangle directly capture's 1/6 of the hexagon.
Select the remaining 1/6 of the hexagon shape fragments and then Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste in Front. This will create a duplicate of the group.
From the left toolbar select the Rotate Tool (R), and while holding 'ALT' on your keyboard click on the bottom-left anchor point of the small triangle inside the group. If done properly, the rotate menu will pop up on your screen when you Alt-click on the triangle's anchor point. Input 60 degrees as the angle and press OK.
Repeat the last step four more times. Select the recently rotated group, go to Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste in Front, and then Transform > Transform Again.
After the entire hexagon is complete, use the Direct Selection (A) tool to delete the triangles that are inside of the smallest hexagon.
Select the entire hexagon, go to Window > Pathfinder, and select Merge. This will combine all six hexagon fragments into one combined shape! You may have to use the Delete Anchor Point tool to remove unnecessary anchor points from the final symbol.
We hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Thank you to YesqArts for showing us the secrets behind his path-bending work. Share your comments and feedback below. If you're interested in learning logo design, you should join our best-selling Masterclass!

HomeRELIGIONNice memory
Nice memory
By: Seminarian Rafael Cruz Dévora
20 July, 2019 Webmáster RELIGION 0
The end of the 2018-2019 school year has come, it is a good time to remember gratefully for God's passage through our lives during this time of formation. In September we began a new stage in the history of the Cuban Seminary, when for the first time after many years the archdiocesan headquarters of Havana did not open its doors for seminarians of all courses but for students from the second year of Philosophy. Thus began the new structural modality that the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Cuba agreed for priestly formation: there was the Propedeutic Saint Augustine in the legendary Camaguey; the Philosophy of St. Basil the Great, in the primate hot land of Santiago de Cuba; and our Havana home as Theologado for all seminarians in the country, except that those who had already started Philosophy in San Carlos finished it without having to go to the Cuban East.
In the rainy October we had the usual celebration of the day of the Seminar, accompanied by the motto of the course: "Call, follow-up and mission". More than eight hundred people come to share with us the formative experience of everyday life. Then we began the spiritual exercises preached to us by Father José Miguel Martínez exhorting us to a deep life of prayer and holiness. In November the Fiesta San Carlos Borromeo invited us to imitate its virtues and a few days later we were happy to open the Jubilee year for the 500 years of the foundation of the Villa de San Cristóbal in Havana, whose anthem has been composed by our brother Cienfueguero Jesús Emmanuel Gómez Apesteguía.
In December, the Holy Christmas ignited our lives with garlands and that joy was joined by the New Year's Eve holiday, a good opportunity for the family. World Youth Day in Panama, at the beginning of 2019, surprised us with the possibility of expanding the participation of seminarians. On such a date we were visited by Archbishop Jorge Carlos Patrón Wong, Bishop Secretary of the Congregation of the Clergy for Seminaries, who expressed to us the affection for Cuba of the Holy Father and also that of the Dicastery to which he represented.
In February we got the change of semester, with new expectations. From the first of March, when Lent began, the Church invited us to conversion and penance. Holy Week, from 14 to 18 April, always pastoral in some parish of the diocese of origin, while introducing us to the Paschal Mysteries of our Salvation, allowed us to penetrate deeply into service as future pastors.
May welcomed our families with the doors open. It is true that Christian hope makes us discover the Love of the Father beyond our difficulties, so it is worth remembering that it has not been an easy year for the seminary community, as to the family-related dimension. The death of several parents, grandparents, dear or close friends has been present in almost the entire course. Also the painful reality of the disease has profoundly affected our stay. The pain for those who suffer at home, physically away from the Seminary, becomes very strong. The helplessness of wanting to help and knowing himself incapable sharpens him. But the prayer of the brethren, the solicitous companionship, the good attention of the superiors and the calls, messages or simply timbres that are received in those moments, help to discover a Church loving and dedicated to the service of others.
In June the final exams of the second semester, the difficult high school test of those who finish the formative stage and the departure to the holidays challenges us to a deep encounter with Christ, who has called us to be followers and missionaries of his love on this earth. This course that ends is not a page that closes, on the contrary, it is an essential part of the journey that begins every day in the confirmation of yes before the Altar of Holy and Sanctifying Sacrifice. For this course that ends we thank the Lord, tensions, tears and above all his love. We go on vacation, sore by the burdens of the road, but happy to have shared the sufferings of Christ (Col 1:24). Once again, God has written a page of mercy in our lives, "not in ink, but with the Holy Spirit; not in stone boards but in hearts of flesh" (2Cor 3.3). Ω

# description: I know there already are a bunch of approaches to this, but this is my somewhat hacky contribution to wpf with powershell. I wanted to be able to draw my ui in visual studio or blend and then use the xaml with my powershell script in a simple way. It certainly has room for improvements, but I think it has potential. I'm quite sure that there are other (nicer) ways to do some of the more hacky stuff.
# 1. draw your ui in visual studio or blend (c# wpf project). Be sure to name all controls and assign handlers for the events you want to use (don't implement them, just name them).
Write-Debug "No new runspace was created"
Write-Debug "Creating a new STA runspace ..."
throw "Could not find file $XamlPath"
Write-Debug "Found event handler: $attributeName - $attributeValue"
throw "Generate-ScriptStub must be run in a single threaded apartment. Start PowerShell with the -STA flag and rerun the script."
"Show-WpfWindow -XamlPath '$XamlPath' -HashTableName '$HashTableName'"


By the way, my go-to tactic before was tell the waiter I had allergies to certain types of food or oils. That made them very careful with the food they served me. I'm pretty sure no restaurant staff would want to deal with allergic reactions and the stuff they entail!
These are some great tips, and I appreciate your advice to order fajitas at Mexican restaurants when on a Paleo diet. My sister and I are trying this diet for a couple of months, but our family loves to go out to eat, especially at Mexican places. I'll definitely try to stick to fajitas without a tortilla so I can still enjoy dining out. Thanks for the great post!
Glad you found the tips useful Lillian! With any kind of special diets, whether it be gluten free or Paleo, eating out is going to be a bit of a chore. But it's much worse to stay at home and eat by yourself, or go out and eat nothing at all!
The other thing to keep in mind is that if you aren't having an allergic reaction to certain foods, being a bit "fluid" AKA compromising in your diet can be useful as well. Of course, this won't work for all types of diets, but it's something to keep in mind for social situations.
Hope to see you stop by the blog again sometime!
Thank you for the insight about going to seafood restaurants! You talk about how they make use of fresh ingredients, so it could really help you to stay Paleo wile eating out. This seems like a great alternative that will still taste great, so I'll try it out. Thank you for sharing.
I have heard a lot of good things about the Paleo food diet. My friend who is on this diet invited me over for dinner a couple of times and the food he made was pretty tasty. He sometimes complains that he really can't eat out, but, I will be sure to tell him that if he follows your advice by going to seafood restaurants and asking the right questions to them.
It is great how many different types of food are accommodating to this type of diet. Mexican is my favorite, and when I adopted this diet I thought that I might have to give it up. I'm glad that you pointed out how you can simply avoid fajitas and tortillas and still stick to the diet. My husband and I will probably go somewhere like this tonight, thank you for the helpful information!
I love Mexican food and restaurants. So, thanks for mentioning that I should be fine going out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. I will just have to miss the tortillas and chips.
Great tips – eating out is where a lot of people stumble on paleo. Paleo works if you have a good plan that you can stick to. My big hurdle was realizing where my weaknesses are – needing lots of variety and figuring out how to stick to it when eating out. It's a lot easier to find resources these days than in the past.


Carmen asks: Does stormy weather really cause people's joints to ache?
You might have heard grandma or grandpa predicting a storm because they "could feel it in their bones" and when a storm hit you probably thought they'd been watching the weather channel. Turns out, their joints *probably* do get a little achy when it's about to rain.
"Weather pain" is a sensation that was noticed by Hippocrates back in 400 B.C. Today, people suffering from arthritis are still complaining about worsening pain before an impending storm, and scientists are still puzzled about why exactly stormy days cause more discomfort than other days.
That said, other studies have been inconclusive about the whole issue of "weather pains." For instance, Amos Tversky, a Standford psychologist, studied 18 rheumatoid arthritis sufferers in the mid-1990s for a year and found no connection between increased pain and bad-weather days. According to Tversky, the association was all in the patients' heads: "People's beliefs about arthritis pain and the weather may tell more about the workings of the mind than of the body." Of course, that's an amazingly small sample-size to be drawing any definitive conclusions from either way.
If the increased pain really is "all in the head," then it's a widespread epidemic. Many health professionals, from personal trainers to rheumatologists, have indicated that they receive more complaints on particularly bad-weather days than any other days during the year. According to occupational therapist Aviva Wolff, "The more dramatic the weather change, the more obvious it is." Of course, all of those complaints could still be spurred on by people's minds playing tricks on them. This is just anecdotal evidence, and we humans certainly are amazingly good at convincing ourselves of things, even when reality doesn't match up.
One group of scientists decided to eliminate human error by testing out the bad-weather theory on a group of guinea pigs instead. The guinea pigs were induced with back pain. In low barometric pressure, they exhibited "signs of increased pain by pulling in their hind paws." Several other similar studies on animals have shown the same type of results—increased signs of pain are exhibited by animals when bad weather is pending. So, it would seem that there is some truth to the phenomenon.
Yet, throwing another curveball into the theory, not everyone who suffers from arthritis or other aches and pains complains of increased pain during storms. Another point for the "all in your head" team? Rheumatologist Patience White doesn't think so. Rather, she says that people who feel more pain during bad weather usually have "some sort of effusion," which means they have more fluid build-up around joints. This could account for the people who can't predict the weather based on how much they're suffering that day.
At this point, scientists aren't exactly sure why changes in barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature cause additional pain. They do believe that falling barometric pressure is probably the biggest culprit. When barometric pressure falls just before a storm, it changes the pressure experienced by the joints. When that happens, the joint expands ever so slightly, which then puts pressure on the surrounding nerves and tissue, resulting in pain.
Robert Jamison, a professor at Harvard Medical School who conducted the study, said, "…if you live [in a warm, dry climate] full time, your body seems to acclimatize and you become sensitive to even subtle weather changes." Of course, it could be that there is a mix going on here of some people's weather pains being in their heads and in other cases it being a very real phenomenon caused by environmental factors.
Of course, others aren't so sure, stating that the evidence is "shaky" and that it's nearly impossible to get an unbiased results when people are so convinced that their joints really are affected by weather.
In the end, while it is possible some of these weather pains are just a figment of people's imaginations, enough animal studies seem to indicate it's not complete fiction. So, don't ditch your daily TV weather reports, but next time grandpa complains that it's going to rain on a nice, sunny day, pay attention—he might just be feeling the drop in barometric pressure that accompanies a storm.
It's believed that as many as 50 million people in the United States suffer from arthritis, including nearly 300,000 children (under the age of 18). That's roughly 1 in 250 kids. The condition is, of course, far more common in the older generation. The exact cause of arthritis is unknown, but it's thought that lifestyle and genetics are risk factors.
How Many People Have Arthritis?
The air is clearer, possibly even thinner, after a rain? That would explain the pressure sensitive pains people experience. Also, we know there is fluid in the joints, barometric pressure changes would of course affect that. It is also colder, usually, after a rain. No one complains of weather pains, in Hawaii or during a monsoon/warm rain, right? Cold tends to cause the body to pull heat toward the center of mass. This has to cause a drop in temperature in the extremities. Which would also affect pressure on joints and even the rest of the body.
We live in the high desert of calif. I noticed the the large black ants(locally known as "Seed ants") will take all of the debris from their dens and pile them up around the opening of their den, kind of like the rim of a crater, a few days before it rains. The more rain expected the higher the rim. Apparently they can detect differences in the barometric pressure and make the rim high enough to keep any flowing water out.
My wife has proved to me beyond any doubt that 'weather pains' are real. Just before rainy weather she develops joint pains and swelling that are warm to the touch.
Scientists bring redicule upon themselves by refuting such claims because they find it 'unscientific'. As for psychologists, we all know that theirs is a failed science.

Of equipped operation theatre to the front of the Queen: Buckingham Palace will give its secrets
Expenses of the members of the British royal family has a lot of high-profile properties have been well known. Buckingham Palace is the main base of the world, there are millions of people in front of the door, the vast majority of the population never get to see what lies behind the walls of the palace. There documentary series 'Secrets of the Royal Palace of the British tv channel, Channel 5 and is now about to change that. A fully equipped operating theatre, to the "secret door" of Elizabeth: these are the most eye-catching facts.
775 rooms , which is 19ontvangstzalen, 52 royal bedrooms and guest bedrooms, 188 personeelskamers, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms, many areas and has attractions such as Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarch, in the very heart of the Londen.De the first installment of a four-part documentary series 'Secrets of the Royal Palace to explore its domain, and there are several royal experts and the staff of the word, including Dickie Arbiter, the former spokesman to the Queen. There is also a deeper, zooming in on the most impressive of the rooms and the objects found in the royal palace can be found.
This is one of the areas, interestingly enough, a atm: .That function is managed by Coutts, a private bank that provides services to the rich and famous.It is not known whether or not the queen of the machines will ever be effectively used, though that seems unlikely. Previously, it was known that Elizabeth was never in cash money in his pocket, wearing it.

After more than 20 years of military dictatorship, the re-democratization of Brazil can be characterized as a period of great political effervescence, especially around the new Federal Constitution.
The 1988 Constitution, drafted by a Constituent Assembly, is the result of a vibrant participatory process that guaranteed a significant role to civil, political and social rights. The new Constitution is also characterized by concepts related to the implementation of participatory mechanisms in the three spheres of the Federation, initiating a new horizon of participatory practices in the country.
The period of re-democratization and the elaboration of the Constitution were marked by a broad participation of political parties, social movements, and civil society organizations, contributing to greater involvement and political inclusion in the delineation of democratic structures between the state and society.
The inclusion of participatory and deliberative formats in the 1988 Constitution made possible the development of so-called "democratic innovations." Since then, Brazil stands out among other countries for its high level of democratic experimentalism with regards to the development of democratic innovations.
Since the creation of the Participatory Budget in Porto Alegre in 1989, various forms of participation are becoming increasingly common in municipal, state and federal governments, consolidating democratic innovations as a constitutive aspect of Brazilian democracy.
With the expansion of the commercial use of the internet and digital government initiatives since the 2000s, one can observe the beginning of digital democratic innovations in the country. These have started to increase significantly from 2009. Digital innovations are equally present at the national level as well as at the local level, indicating that new technologies can contribute to broader participation and, possibly, impact democracy on a large scale.
Digital innovations are an important space for co-governance: in a significant part of cases, governments and citizens come together in the political process, regardless of who has developed or initiated the innovation. The government is, however, most responsible for digital democracy initiatives in the country, and is in charge of a significant part of digital participation initiatives. However, civil society organizations are increasingly presenting initiatives as they partner with governments, international and private organizations.
The most important democratic innovations in the country are; at the national level, the National Councils of Public Policies and the National Conferences of Public Policies; and at the local level, the Participatory Budget and the Municipal Councils of Public Policies. Digital democratic innovations expanded participation in the national legislative branch. Brazil has the first case of law developed through an online collaborative process (crowdsourcing), the so-called Civil Internet Framework.

Yver er mælkekirtelerne hos køer og en række andre hunpattedyr, som f.eks. geder og får.

Et yver er et organ dannet af mælkekirtler på hunpattedyr, især drøvtyggere som kvæg, geder, får og hjorte. Yveret er en enkelt masse hængende under dyret, der består af par af mælkekirtler. Hos kvæg er der normalt to par, i får, geder og hjorte der er et par, og i nogle dyr som grise der er mange par.

Pleje
Yverpleje og -hygiejne i køer er vigtigt i forbindelse med malkning, såsom en uafbrudt og uplettet mælkeproduktion, og en forebyggelse mastitis. Der findes produkter for at dulme sprukken hud af yveret, som hjælper med at forhindre en bakteriel infektion, og en reducion af irritation under malkning med malkningssugekopper, så koen er mindre fristet til at sparke malkningssugekopper af.

Ocean: Coral and Dyed Coral
Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary tells us that: "With their hardened surfaces, corals are sometimes mistaken as being rocks. And, because they are attached, "taking root" to the seafloor, they are often mistaken for plants. However, unlike rocks, corals are alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food. Corals are in fact animals.
The branch or mound that we often call "a coral" is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps. A coral polyp is an invertebrate that can be no bigger than a pinhead to up to a foot in diameter. Each polyp has a saclike body and a mouth that is encircled by stinging tentacles. The polyp uses calcium carbonate (limestone) from seawater to build a hard, cup-shaped skeleton. This skeleton protects the soft, delicate body of the polyp."
https://floridakeys.noaa.gov/corals/coralanimals.html
Jewelry Shopping Guide tells us that: "Used over thousands of years to make jewelry, coral is known for its distinct warm colors and smooth, satiny texture. When crafted into beautiful jewelry, coral is as stunning as any gemstone. But coral isn't like any other gemstone out there. In fact, it is one of the most unique substances used in jewelry....
"Coral is a member of a small and exclusive group of precious stones known as organic gemstones. Organic gemstones are created from living matter, such as plants and animals and not from minerals. Some other examples of organic gemstones include pearls which come from oysters and amber from fossiled resin.
"Coral polyps build their shell-like, hard, protective homes by secreting calcium corbonate around them. This is how coral reefs are formed. Over time, the polyps die in their homes and become a part of the structure. The next generation of polyps continue the cycle, building their homes atop those of the previous polyp generation and adding to the growth of the coral reef.
"Like aquamarine and turquoise, coral is one of the few gemstones that specifies a certain color, referring to a beautiful pinkish-orange color. However, in reality, coral occurs in a range of colors, including white, pink, red, orange as well as rare gold, blue and black varieties.
"The most common coral color is white, although the variety used in jewelry is typically pink to red. This is known as precious coral or red coral and is the most sought after.
"Since ancient times, coral has been believed to be a protective stone, and was worn as an amulet to safeguard oneself from negativity, evil spirits and intentions....coral was used in Italy to protect from the evil eye. Even today, many still believe in coral's protective properties and wear coral jewelry for this reason.
"Coral is believed to be a stone of transformation, peace and relaxation. For those trapped in negative thoughts about the past, coral is believed to be able to help you free yourself and move on. It provides a sense of calm and creates an environment of relaxation, reminiscent of the sea from which it originates.
"Coral is also believed to hold healing properties, especially for women and children. It is thought to assist in relieving issues related to the circulatory and nervous systems, blood-related problems and strengthening the skeletal structure."
https://www.jewelryshoppingguide.com/coral-jewelry-guide/
LEGAL ISSUES WITH CORAL
Don in SOFL on a discussion board at Ganoksin Orchid tells us that:
"Certain corals are subject to rigid control based
on international treaties (such as CITES). These treaties make it a
crime punishable by various penalties based on the attitude of the
country doing the punishing. Penalties can range from Ho Hum to heavy
fines and time in prison.
"Other corals are subject to controls of various states, provinces or
entities (such as non-profit organizations) and, again punishments
cover a large range. At one time in my research, I counted 21 such
societies/organizations outside the state/country/national
involvement. Most do good work and most are dedicated to preserving
or critical coral reefs.
"Corals such as the octocoral (blacks), red, blues and certain
specific corals as staghorn, brain, etc., each has its own niche in
these control mechanisms but nearly all corals are considered
endangered.
"What you are seeing at the gem shows consists of a number of types
of corals. A fair 90% of it is either bamboo or grass coral very
common in the south seas. They are prolific and grow similar to the
grass on a lawn. They are dyed and I do not recommend then because
they easily transfer color.
"The remaining 10% at the shows consist of various corals such as
hard calcacious (and normally dead) coral that has been dyed. You
will see 'black' coral that is nothing more than hard coral dyed with
various dyes including shoe polish. It is heavy to the hand while
true black corals are all light to the hand like plastic. You will
never see true red coral and mostly never see true black coral at a
gem show unless it is already set in jewelry…and then rarely. Such
coral of any quality is usually sold by the carat and is too
expensive to sell in any quantity.
"The true reds and blacks are highly controlled and, while there
remains some uncontrolled poaching of the red in Asia, the rest can
only be acquired by licensed/certified collectors. The black/gold
corals of the Hawaii trench, for example, now comes from 200 feet or
more down and requires specialized diving equipment to acquire. The
reds not as difficult to acquire but must still be controlled. The
amount that can be harvested is also controlled and must be accounted
for. Of course, I'm speaking of such collection is areas that are
members of the international treaties and who care about natural
environment. There are always going to be some nuts who do it outside
the law.
"I could go on but this is long enough. As for the corals at the
shows, they are cheap, dyed and though they look good, do not make a
strong statement against the environment."

You be the Judge: What Happens If The Bank Makes A Mistake... In Your Favour?
"Do what has to be done," Gaston said resignedly.
They owed the bank $35,000. The other creditors agreed to take 40 cents on the dollar.
Then the bank called back.
Should Gaston and Linda be ordered to pay$20,000 to the bank? You! Be the Judge! Then look below for the decision.
"Bank, you are going to have to take the bath, not Linda and Gaston." ruled the court. The law must be fairly applied. If the bank hadn't made the error, Linda and Gaston would have had enough money to pay back the bank. It's the bank that has to bear the consequences, not Linda and Gaston.

Q: How do I get the value of the slider's position in Qt Eclipse? I have about 5 push buttons and one slider. Every time I click the push button, the function for the particular push button gets called.
However, I also want the slider to do the same. So, instead of pressing the push button, you can drag the slider to the 5 different positions and it will do the same. However, I dont really know how I can connect 5 different positions of the sliders to each push button. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

A: I don't even know what to say... it's kinda easy:
slider->setRange(0, 4);
connect(slider, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), SLOT(onSliderValueChanged(int)));

...

void Widget::onSliderValueChanged(int value)
{
    switch (value)
    {
    case 0:
        return onPushButton0Clicked();
    ...
    }
}

void Widget::onPushButton0Clicked()
{
    // do stuff

    slider->blockSignals(true);
    slider->setValue(0);
    slider->blockSignals(false);

Suburban Steel Supply was founded in 1979 on the premise that structural steel could be widely used in the residential construction market. Until then, steel was difficult to procure and use in the field, so residential builders used it only occasionally. Suburban Steel Supply set out to change all that. We emerged as an honest, hardworking company focused on delivering outstanding customer service. It didn't take long for customers to notice. Since those early days of the company, we've expanded beyond the residential market, and now we supply structural steel to commercial projects as well. Our field service crews provide onsite erection and crane services. And our product offerings have expanded to include rebar and concrete accessories, and fabrication and erection services for ornamental/miscellaneous metals. In 2005, after several relocations to accommodate our growth, Suburban Steel Supply landed at our present, 21-acre facility in Gahanna, Ohio. We are family-owned-and-operated and committed more than ever to providing the outstanding customer service that propelled our growth. Today we proudly serve the Central Ohio, Indianapolis, Dayton, Cincinnati and Louisville markets with the same dedication to customer service that has defined our success since 1979.

Q: Structured Streaming set checkpointLocation offsets replication factor I'm using Structured Streaming of Spark 2.2 and running several long-term streaming jobs. Every day or two days, I will meet following errors:

User class threw exception: org.apache.spark.sql.streaming.StreamingQueryException: Could not obtain block: BP-xxx:blk_xxx file=/xxx/offsets/xxx

And when I meet this error, the job keeps failing on restarting. I have to manually delete checkpoint files.
I find that the offsets/commits files under the checkpointLocation is of replication factor 1. And I guess changing the replication factor to 3 will
solve this problem.
How to set the replication factor of the checkpointed offsets/commits to 3?

A: The question seems partial. Spark itself cannot maintain a replicated checkpoints. However if you are saving the checkpoints to HDFS you can configure the hdfs to have replication factor of 3 by changing the following configuration in your hdfs-site.xml
<property>
    <name>dfs.replication</name>
    <value>3</value>
</property>

Update 1:
