Q: Retorno de tipos dynamic WebApi Estou escrevendo um metodo em WebApi que retorna o tipo HttpResponseMessage.
Tenho uma consulta que retorna um tipo dynamic que iria retornar a consulta dos dados pois são informações diferentes.
No retorno dos dados acaba por ocorrer um erro mas o Visual Studio reclamou de problemas no código. Porém notei algo curioso
Mensagem de erro no Visual Studio

Error CS1973  'HttpRequestMessage' has no applicable method named
  'CreateResponse' but appears to have an extension method by that name.
  Extension methods cannot be dynamically dispatched. Consider casting
  the dynamic arguments or calling the extension method without the
  extension method syntax.

Se eu coloco o código no seguinte formato:
Permitido
var retorno = new { cupons =  Api.Consultar(codigo) };
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, retorno);

Não permitido
var retorno = Api.Consultar(codigo);
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, retorno);

Assuma que Api.Consultar() retorna um objeto do tipo dynamic
Qual a diferença entre estes dois códigos onde um é aceito e outro não?

A: A assinatura do método Request.CreateResponse utiliza Generic Type Parameter que não permite, por design, a passagem de um dynamic (variável não tipada), ou seja o compilador não sabe o seu tipo (classe) durante a compilação, somente em tempo de execução.
Porém o parâmetro genérico permite o uso de Anonymous Types que são, como o nome diz, tipos (classes) sem nome com os seus "nomes" conhecidos apenas pelo compilador durante a compilação.
No primeiro trecho, a variável é inicializada via sintaxe de inicialização de objetos anônimos, sendo então um objeto filho de uma classe "sem nome" conhecido apenas pelo compilador ao compilar. E se é um objeto então é aceito como argumento pelo Generic Type Parameter.
var retorno = new { cupons =  Api.Consultar(codigo) };
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, retorno);

No segundo trecho, a variável do tipo var (Implicit typed local variable) recebe um dynamic, o que seria o mesmo que ter declarado a variável como sendo dynamic. Ao compilar, acontece o erro pois um parâmetro Generic Type Parameter não aceita uma variável dynamic como argumento, por definição. Uma solução seria fazer um cast da variável "retorno", como sugerido pelo compilador.
var retorno = Api.Consultar(codigo);
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, retorno);

As long as I can remember, I have been a night owl! My mind was always the most productive at night – 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. were my prime study hours. If I had nothing to get done at night, I'd lay in bed for hours before I could fall asleep. I would lay there staring at the ceiling while hundreds of thoughts raced in my mind. Once I fell asleep, I'd sleep like a rock until my final alarm went off 15 minutes before class started. I'd throw on clothes and somehow I always made it on time. Essentially, my mornings were non-existent.
These past three months were the busiest I have ever been. When I was not in class or working, I was teaching and creating a Sing Act (for those who are like "what in the world is Sing?" – well it is a huge production put on by sororities and fraternities at Baylor University – I like to describe it as a Broadway show mushed into 7 minutes). Everyday, I'd leave my apartment around 8 or 9 a.m. and didn't come home until after Sing practice which was usually around 11 p.m. After each long day, I was pooped. I'd crawl into bed immediately when I got home.
You might be wondering – when did you study and do homework?
That was my dilemma. There was no time in my normal schedule to study. So, I had to fight every "night owl" urge in my body and wake-up early in the morning to study. Some might say oh that's nothing, but if you are like me this was a HUGE challenge! I had never studied in the morning. I had always been a study freak who could not fall asleep unless I was confident that I knew the material. But sacrifices had to be made.
After I'd drag my body out of bed, to my surprise, I liked the morning! I enjoyed hopping in the shower to wake me up. I loved brewing a cup of coffee to drink while I sat on the coach wrapped in a blanket to read over my notes!
So currently, here is my situation: I am a night owl who loves the morning.
I love the silence. I love being alone with my thoughts. I love the way my day goes when I start it in peace.
These upcoming weeks I am going out on a limb to challenge myself to wake up early. I want to take time to enjoy the mornings even when I do not have something to study or complete.

Grafenia flags EBITDA hit alongside Nettl US growth opportunity
By Jo Francis, Wednesday 03 July 2019
Grafenia expects to file a £1m-plus boost in sales for the financial year but has warned that it will post negative EBITDA for the period – although the firm said it had returned to breakeven based on monthly run rates for the current year.
Nettl: big growth opportunity in US for Grafenia
In a pre-close trading statement ahead of its results, which will be announced at the end of August, the Aim-listed PLC said turnover in the year to 31 March was expected to be up around 7.7% to approximately £15.75m.
However, rising input costs "particularly paper" and an increase in overheads due to acquisitions, store openings, and the front-loading of costs related to its US expansion – where Grafenia said it believes there is an opportunity to grow Nettl to as many as 1,500-2,000 locations – has hit earnings.
"This will result in the Group generating negative EBITDA for the year ended 31 March 2019. It's important to note that this does not reflect our cost-base moving forward as we've taken significant steps to reduce our overheads," the group stated.
These changes have included replacing three old presses with one new state-of-the-art model, and savings on rent and rates through the consolidation of Image Group into its Trafford Park production hub. The firm had previously said that it intended to reduce its exposure to the hugely-competitive litho trade printing market.
"We are forecasting that sales of litho print will continue to decline and we will experience further margin pressure. However, we are expecting further growth in the sales of signage, display and ink-on-fabric digital textiles, all of which have grown this year.
"As a result of these changes to our cost base, we estimate we will be breakeven on a monthly EBITDA run rate during the current financial year. We are targeting an EBITDA margin of 10-15% in the medium term, although we make decisions for the long-term sustainability of the business, rather than short-term performance," the firm said in a statement.
Grafenia said current trading was in line with budgets, and it continued to look at potential acquisitions in the signage market.
At 31 March the group had cash and cash equivalents of £1.37m, compared with £170,000 the prior year.
Yesterday, Grafenia announced that one of its executives would be stepping down to set up a new Nettl store in Greater Manchester, forgoing a £220,000 earn-out payment as a result.

While I love living in the Chicago suburbs because we get actual seasons, the downside is the winters. What that means from the Triathlon perspective is getting chased indoors for at least the swim for a good 6 months.
Earlier this year, I joined the Y so that I'd have a place to swim and train indoors. The guide that I'm working with for two of my 2017 races is a member at Lifetime. When we first met, it seemed like we would be able to work out all the logistics. But then after the first swiim at Lifetime, I was informed that I could only go as a guest once every 60 days.
But after we explained the situation to several people within the Warrenville location, they allowed me to come as her guest through race day so we can train. I am grateful for their generosity, as it will help with our training! It will help immensely as I push towards qualifying for PT Nationals!
Like weeks 3 & 4, there were struggles with getting workouts in. While I'm not hitting every one, I still believe I'm on track to qualify. I hope to get two bites at the apple in May, but need a guide for the 1st one at this point.
1) A local facility helping to make sure we're comfortable in the pool (next post).
2) Another organization putting their support behind me (2nd post).
3) Finding a solid alternative to having to go to St. Charles every time. I will still do that for major issues, but it's really nice to have them close.
As I continue on this Triathlon process, I am continuing to find more and more great resources. CATS is just one more, and I will be doing a few rides with them this year. If you're a tandem owner in the Chicago area, check them out!
This seemed a perfect race to do — Eagles running in the Beat the Eagle 5K! And before things went awry for the last two weeks, this was going to be my benchmark race for April triathlon in terms of time. While that had changed, it still was a good testing race.
Proper pacing has always been a problem for me. Even though I don't intend to swim/bike/run the first part (100/5mi/1mi) so fast, it always happens. This means that the rest of that discipline is slower because my body it trying to recover from going out too fast. Even when I'm running tethered, it's still an issue. I really wish I could figure out a way to fix that quickly. I know it will come with time; but time is not my friend right now.
To illustrate what I mean about pacing, even with walking about a minute during the first mile to catch my breath, I was at 11:52 for it. I should have been at about 12:30 instead of 11:52. Because I pushed too hard the first mile, the last two were significantly slower. Even though the time part was frustrating, it was a great race.
That wasn't just because I had two amazing Eagles to run with, it was also because of the learning experience. As I had mentioned a couple weeks ago, Hammer Nutrition's generous support put a wide variety of supplies at my fingertips. For this race, I had Heed in my bottle along with using the Endurolyte capsules. Even though the breathing/endurance was an issue because of the too fast first mile, other things felt better than in other races. So I will keep using that plan going forward this season.
A huge THANK YOU to Martha & Charles for guiding me! I look forward to doing this race again in 2018!
"When life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door." (Grateful Dead) Or in other words, when things look like they're going well, you have to guard against yourself. The focus needs to stay on your training plan even when you think things are going better than expected — or worse.
For me, the last two weeks have been a struggle. I haven't gotten in enought workouts between work and other personal things. But there's no use in dwelling on that — the better use of time is to get back on the horse. And that's what I'll be doing this week.
One of the most important points of the last two weeks has been learning to listen to my body, both current and future. Last year, I would have pushed myself and kept an April triathlon on the schedule. But this year, I'm being more realistic. While I wanted 3 shots at qualifying for Nationals, I will focus on having two strong ones.
Maybe a better way to look at it is accountability. If I had been able to keep on track the last two weeks, then I would be further along. The April triathlon would have been a stretch race, but a realistic stretch. But because I missed so many workouts the last two weeks, my 'penalty' was scratching that race off.


In a few hours, the auction to get your name in the third edition of Absolute FreeBSD will close.
Right now, the winning bid is at $605.
The auction I just did to Tuckerize someone in a small OpenBSD book went for $1300. Absolute FreeBSD is a bigger book, and will have wider distribution.
If the AF3e auction goes for less than that, I'll be forced to conclude that FreeBSD folks have less team spirit than the OpenBSD ones. The OpenBSD folks will get bragging rights.
But it's entirely up to you. No pressure.


The main aim of present study is to formulation & optimize Gliclazide alginate microspheres by plackett burman's factorial design. Which offers a flexible and easily controllable process for the manipulating the characteristics of the beads which is important in controlling the release rate and consequently the absorption of Gliclazide from the GIT, variation in polymer, concentration, time of gelation in the external phase were examined systemically for their effects on rate release and entrapment efficiency by Plackett Burman's factorial design. The swelling behavior strongly depends on the polymer concentration. The result of the study will depends on the release profile of the drug from the formulation. The formulations follows zero order kinetics for the drug release. The in vitro release study indicates that the swelling is the main parameter in controlling the release rate from microcapsules.
Keywords: Ionic gelation, Gliclazide, Plackett Burman's.


The band also released the album's first single, "Blackbird." The song is a glossy, pristine pop-punk record that's anthemic and a bit catchy in its breezy melodies. Along with the announcement, Alkaline Trio is currently gearing up for a North American tour next month. Guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba is also a member of Blink-182, who recently had to cancel their Vegas residency after drummer Travis Barker was hospitalized due to blood clots. Listen to the new song and read the tracklist for Is This Thing Cursed? below.


Pontiac Mich. - Two of the most magnificent plays in Green Bay playoff history lifted the Packers to the heights of sheer euphoria late on an unforgettable Sunday afternoon at the Pontiac Silverdome.
Trying to force overtime with a last-ditch field goal, the Packers instead defeated the Detroit Lions, 28-24, on an improbable Brett Favre-to-Sterling Sharpe, 40-yard touchdown pass with 55 seconds remaining that will live forever whenever Green Bay fans gather to recall great moments in franchise annals.
"It was the play of the year," coach Mike Holmgren said. "It's just a wonderful, wonderful feeling. We worked so hard to get this one."
Actually, the Lions outplayed the Packers, amassing large advantages in total yards (410-293), first downs (25-16) and time of possession (35:34-24:26).
"It's just a shame," Lions coach Wayne Fontes said. "This team played an excellent football game today and lost. They couldn't slow us down."
Barry Sanders, playing for the first time since suffering a knee injury on Thanksgiving Day, proved unstoppable with 169 yards in 27 rushing attempts.
Meanwhile, onetime third-string quarterback Erik Kramer completed 71% of his passes, 22 of 31, for 248 yards in the Lions' potent, multifaceted attack.
"Statistically, they killed us," defensive end Matt Brock said.
But thanks to Favre's stunning strike to Sharpe and safety George Teague's playoff-record 101-yard interception return for a touchdown late in the third quarter, the Packers were able to gain revenge for a 30-20 loss in the same building six days ago.
The victory advanced the Packers, 10-7, into the second round of post-season play for the first time in a non-strike season since the "Ice Bowl" in 1967. Their opponent, as it was 26 years ago, will be the Dallas Cowboys, 12-4.
Kickoff will be at 11:30 a.m. next Sunday in Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas, where the Cowboys routed the Packers on Oct. 3, 36-14.
"We really got manhandled last time," general manager Ron Wolf said. "But we're a better football team now. I think a huge monkey was taken off of this football team today.
"Everybody was walking around saying, 'You're 9-7, you're not any good.' To come here and play these guys toe-to-toe and play against one of the great runners of all time just goes to our coaching staff and the belief our players have."
This was the fifth time that the Packers recovered from a disheartening defeat to win the next game. This is the story of this season, one that began 1-3 after their lopsided defeat in Dallas.
"I've seen teams throw in the towel but not here," said nose tackle Bill Maas. "I see a team ... we're fighters. And this team hasn't put together its best performance."
The Packers trailed, 24-21, with 2 minutes 26 seconds remaining. They had the ball on their own 29 after Brock and linebacker Wayne Simmons twice stopped Sanders for no gain and a third down pass to Brett Perriman was dropped.
On the first play, Edgar Bennett gained 12 yards on a screen pass, the Packers' most effective weapon in a workmanlike offensive performance that netted no gain longer than 23 yards until the decisive moment.
Then Favre, showing poise after a four-interception debacle on the same field a week ago, found Ed West for nine, Bennett rushed for four yards and the first down, then Favre found Sharpe for six yards on a shallow crossing route at the Detroit 40.
Sharpe deployed wide right, Mark Clayton wide to the left. "Both guys were to run square outs off a five-step drop," quarterbacks coach Steve Mariucci said. "We wanted to make the catch and get out of bounds."
But the Lions rolled up their cornerbacks, preventing the short out. Both Sharpe and Clayton then adjusted on the move and ran fade routes to the deep outside.
Cornerback Kevin Scott, on Sharpe's side, fell back with Sharpe for several steps but then let him go. Sharpe kept running along the sideline and Favre, who had been flushed from the pocket, scrambled left looking for West.
"But he didn't like anybody else," Mariucci said. "Great presence of mind."
As Favre scampered left his vision scanned the field. His eyes found Sharpe and, just as he had at New Orleans with a bomb in the final minute that set up the winning field goal, he released a bullet across the field.
The pass carried in the range of about 75 yards, coming down to the wide-open Sharpe perhaps seven yards deep in the end-zone corner. Safety William White, whose responsibility included the deep section of the field behind White, accepted the blame for not being there to stop Sharpe.
"It was part of our hurry-up offense," Holmgren said. "Actually, it was an adjustment to the coverage. Brett played a fine game. He's a very, very talented young man."
On the previous series, the Packers had a third and 9 from midfield after Corey Harris' 45-yard kickoff return. Favre scrambled right on that third-down play, then just as he was about to slide or run out of bounds he unleashed a bomb to Clayton, who had slipped behind the defense and was alone inside the 5.
That time, however, Favre's pass had the distance but was perhaps three yards out of Clayton's grasp and out of bounds.
"I thought when I missed it, it was all over," Favre said. "I said, 'We had our chance and we blew it.'"
On the kickoff after Sharpe's go-ahead touchdown, Chris Jacke's boot was invitingly high and short. But Marcus Wilson tackled Mel Gray after a runback of just eight yards to the 19, leaving Kramer with three timeouts and 51 seconds to position the Lions for a field-goal attempt by long-range kicker Jason Hanson.
This time, Green Bay's defense held. Tony Bennett sacked Kramer at the 17, then Sanders gained just three yards on a second-down swing pass.
Herman Moore had a chance to catch Kramer's long pass at the Green Bay 40 on third down but was unable to outfight Terrell Buckley for the ball. Then a fourth-down pass for Perriman was weak and not close to being caught.
"Overall, we didn't play well," defensive end Reggie White said. "To be honest with you, we're really tired."
Several players, including veteran tackle Ken Ruettgers, labeled the victory their best in a Green Bay uniform.
On offense, the Packers struggled to achieve balance in their offense. They had modest success rushing, and Favre made just one mistake. That came on a third-down curl route for Sharpe, when he telegraphed the throw and was intercepted by cornerback Melvin Jenkins, who returned it 15 yards for a touchdown and 17-7 lead midway in the third quarter.
"We've put our future in his hands," Wolf said about Favre. "If that young quarterback read everything written about him, I don't know if he'd make an appearance other than in disguise."
From that 17-7 hole, the Packers extricated themselves with a courageous 72-yard touchdown drive culminated by a 28-yard touchdown pass to Sharpe. It came when the crowd of 68,479 probably reached its peak noise level of the day.
But then the Lions, getting a 31-yard pass to Perriman, drove 74 yards to second and goal at the 5. Kramer threw to the outside shoulder of tight end Ty Hallock, who had hooked in the end zone.
Teague guessed right, breaking to Hallock's outside. He intercepted the pass, then raced 101 yards for what in reality was a 14-point turnaround.
The Lions retaliated with an 89-yard touchdown drive of their own, destroying the sagging Green Bay defense by land and air. But it wasn't enough to beat Favre and Sharpe at the end.
"We might not be the most talented team, but everyone here will give 110% every weekend," Brock said.


Several college music educators at the Higher Education meeting in October, 1946, believed that only heads of state college music departments should be members of the College Music Educators Association (CMEA). However, the majority in attendance favored allowing all music teachers membership, and their proposal was accepted.
Three committees were appointed to study and report the following items: 1) A clarification of the term " conducting" when used as a requirement for state certification of teachers. 2) Teaching loads for college music teachers. 3) Minimum hours for various teaching certificates (teacher training).
The group was satisfied with its progress in the 1946 meeting and decided to meet again in October 1947. This meeting was a complete disaster. The first committee had done nothing about the conducting issue, and the second committee's chairman was unable to attend the meeting, but had reported progress. The chairman of the teacher training committee was also absent. A questionnaire had been mailed, but no report concerning results was made. The committee chairman and secretary resigned because "the group voted to act as a unit in the election of officers rather than accept the suggestions of a nominating committee."
ID. Philips, music professor at West Virginia State College, invited the group to hold a spring meeting at his college at Institute. This was an innovative move since West Virginia was still struggling with racial issues, and WVSC was recognized as a black institution. The meeting was held there in spring 1948. By that time, WVMEA had invited the CMEA chairman to serve on the WVMEA Executive Board.
By the time a fourth meeting was held at Fairmont State College in October, 1948, the committees appointed earlier had begun to make progress. Committee members had begun to write positions on conducting credit, voice requirements, string major requirements, and instrument requirements. CMEA was becoming an advocate for strong music programs in the West Virginia public schools.
In later years, CMEA would start the movement to unify all school music organizations by affiliating with MENC and WVMEA. It restarted Notes A Tempo, which had been silent for several years. All editors since then have been college educators (except for John L. Puffenbarger and Becky Taylor). CMEA started the all-state college orchestra in 1950, and the organization assisted WVMEA with its conferences each spring.
In 1990, poor attendance caused CMEA to cease holding meetings. Interest in the organization was lacking. However, it was re-organized in 1996 as the West Virginia College and University Music Teachers Association. Frederick Meyer of West Virginia Institute of Technology was elected president. A college student recital was held in 1998. Five colleges/universities participated in a second student recital on Saturday, March 27, 1999, during the WVMEA conference in Huntington. A Directory of College Music Educators was printed and mailed to all WV college music teachers.
Future plans include a proposal for a web site for the organization. The college student recitals have been successful and will continue. C/UMTA has been an influential voice for music education in the past and will continue to make great contributions in years to come.


Happy Friday and welcome to the first edition of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop. Myself and a few of my fellow demonstrators have came together and decided to do a Blog hop on the first Friday of each month and today is the first edition…as you can see the theme for this hop is EASTER!
I just love Springtime and Easter everything is cute and fluffy and chocolatey!! Cute is exactly the description I would give to this card. The greeting "You're egg-stra special" just called for an egg-shaped card…I just couldn't resist the play on words.
I use the BASKET BUNCH stamp set and BASKET BUILDER framelits dies that coordinate so beautifully together. And by the way if you buy these as a bundle you'll save 10%! As you can see there is everything from flowers to Easter eggs to peeps, yes little bunny peeps, that you can stamp and cut out for any number of cute cards. These framelits make it so easy to be creative!
I absolutely love that mini chocolate bunny! Now if only the calories on the real one were is tiny as this one.
Thank you for joining me today! I hope that you are having a great Friday and are enjoying all the wonderful Easter ideas provided by our Glitter Queens team. Below you will see the list of sites you will be visiting.
Love your blog Carla.. Your project is adorable. Laying all those cute pieces out looks like a puzzle . Great job !
Finally a calorie free Easter basket filled with sweet candy! Very cute, Kathie!
Oops, I meant Carla, not Kathie. Sorry.

What's not for kids to love? Marvin, a rambunctious young monster living on planet Monstearth, and the star of "Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Attacks!" is a cross between Mr. Mucus of Mucinex ad fame, and Digger, TV toenail fungus extraordinaire.
Phoenix/Scottsdale behavioral and developmental pediatrician and autism and ADHD expert, Dr. Raun Melmed, created this adorably gruesome character with a purpose in mind.
He — along with co-author Annette Sexton and illustrator Jeff Harvey — has developed a humorous, semi-graphic novel for ages 7-11, in the tradition of Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," that reflects Melmed's philosophy that kids with ADHD can learn to take responsibility for their behavior as part of an individualized, multimodal treatment program. Melmed will be signing books at the Scottsdale Fiesta Shopping Center Barnes & Noble at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11.
Marvin is energetic, forgetful, impulsive and inattentive. He realizes that he drives other monsters crazy at home and at school, and he feels bad about it. He just doesn't know how to fix it.
In a lucky encounter at a music competition, Marvin's musical hero admits that he had the same problems as a minor monster, and gives Marvin a tip that helped him take charge of his behavior and become a famous musician.
The tip involves using an imaginary video camera, a "monstercam," to help him focus.
Marvin tries it, and it helps a lot, but he needs something more. Inspired by his hero, he figures out that he gets in trouble when he gets too busy to remember what he should be doing, so he makes a special reminder for himself — the ST4 badge, secret code for Stop, Take Time To Think — and he posts copies wherever a reminder would help.
When he uses his monstercam along with ST4 badges, Marvin's life becomes, not perfect, but definitely "monsterrific." ADHD attacks, but motivated monsters rule!
As the mother of two now-adult ADHD boys, I'm aware of the challenges these kids present. What I like best about this book is Melmed's emphasis on mindfulness, which is all about learning to step back, observe and make smart choices.
Kids with ADHD are constantly reassured that they are terrific, and that their behavior isn't their fault, it's biology; then they are constantly berated for their actions. Kids see the contradiction in this. They often feel terrified, not terrific. They feel their "insides" are out of control while their "outsides" are constantly being controlled — by meds, and/or rewards, points, star charts and other external methods. They aren't taught how to internalize proper behavior.
Dr. Raun Melmed will sign copies of his new book on Thursday, Aug. 11. Photo courtesy of Melmed Center.
The mindfulness approach encourages kids to recognize advantageous behavior and offers them helpful tools that enable self-management.
"Marvin," the first of a planned series, also contains an informative "Resources for Parents and Teachers" section, and ST4 badge templates to let kids make their own sets.
If you go: At 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11, Dr. Raun Melmed will sign "Marvin's Monster Diary" at Barnes & Noble, 90th Street and Shea Boulevard in Scottsdale. The book is also available through Amazon, online at melmedcenter.com and in person, by mail or by fax from the Melmed Center, 4848 E. Cactus Road, Suite 940, Scottsdale; 480-443-0050.

Now though Nov. 14, South Kitsap residents can make a pledge to improve their fitness and help local food banks, all in one step.
The Port Orchard Fit City Challenge/ End Hunger Initiative was conceived by South Kitsap residents Debbie Quinn and Mary Colborn and loosely model on Weight Watchers' national program in which participants donate a pound of food for every pound lost. Colborn has been involved in efforts to help South Kitsap Helpline purchase the Port Orchard Nursery property and start a community garden to stock food bank shelves.
Organizers launched the challenge in recognition of the role that hunger and obesity play in our national's health care crisis. According to Colborn, 66 percent of all Americans are overweight, while 35.5 million go to bed hungry every night.
All weights are private and confidential. Only losses will be noted and celebrated. Weigh ins are not public. Individuals may track their progress privately through the American Heart Association's Web site: www.startwalkingnow.org, at home or at other weight loss centers. Walking tours and an end of initiative celebration are planned.
The Port Orchard City Council on Tuesday will issue a proclamation in support of the Fit City Challenge.
For more information, contact Debbie Quinn at (360) 876-1781 or Mary Colborn at (360) 621-0050 or fitcitychallenge@yahoo.com.
In other news about local efforts to fight hunger in South Kitsap, Newlife South Church is hosting Sunday lunch for anyone who needs it from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Christian Life Center parking lot (corner of Mitchell and Lincoln avenues) on the last two Sundays of the month.

As a small business owner, it is crucial to stay up to date with your industry. In today's fast-moving world, it's easy to fall behind. Increasing your productivity will set you up for success by saving you time and money. Here are six productivity tips that will help you thrive in your small business venture.
1. Manage your email inbox: Consider using Boomerang for Gmail. This service sends you email reminders and allows you to schedule emails to be sent at a time you choose.
2. Schedule social media: Later.com is a fantastic website you can use to schedule future social media posts. This is a typical case of 'work now, rest later'. Spending three hours planning your social media posts for the week on a Monday morning means you don't have to think about your online content for a whole week!
3. Streamlining your bookkeeping: When you're starting out, use Xero or Quickbooks. These cloud-based accounting software programs are great for small and medium-sized businesses.
4. Do away with the traditional 'multi-tasking' mindset: Contrary to previous beliefs, new studies are continuing to show evidence for improved efficiency when 'single-tasking'. Allow yourself to stay focused on a task at a time, for a set amount of time (try 20-minute intervals with short breaks between). This can make finishing a task sooner much more achievable.
5. Plan your week: Give yourself a good chunk of time to sit down and write up a plan for your working week. Effectively planning your activities (such as your business strategy, meetings etc) and prioritising each means that you won't end up spending time on less important tasks, and running out of time for those that need the most attention.
6. Get to know the value of your time as an entrepreneur: Before committing to 10 meetings that may or may not require your being present, consider the most efficient ways to achieve your desired outcome. Ensure any meetings that are scheduled have a clear purpose and don't be afraid to be ruthless with declining meetings if you know an email conversation will suffice.
Productive businesses run efficiently, grow and produce profits. Consistently utilising these tips will help ensure the long-term success of your business. Good luck!

The thought of a national title this season was the last thing anyone on the team could have imagined on December 8.
The Lady Chaps had just lost 66-62 on the road to Cameron which marked their fourth loss in six games and dropped their overall record to 7-4 on the season.
"We just sort of lost our identity for about three weeks of a struggle," said Lubbock Christian head coach Steve Gomez.
Starting point guard Caitlyn Cunyus had just returned from a broken ankle she suffered in early October and the team was suddenly struggling to find their roles.
"That transition time of getting her (Cunyus) back into playing, it didn't disrupt our team, but it sort of made some of the roles have to change a little bit," Gomez said.
Despite the recent struggles the Lady Chaps had endured, Gomez was positive his team would make a run and be ready for the NCAA DII national tournament.
Gomez was close. The Lady Chaps won 25 of their final 26 games on their way to winning the national title with the only loss being a controversial 69-67 loss on the road to Newman in Heartland Conference action.
Lubbock Christian's next two games following the loss to Cameron were in Bellingham, Wash. against two quality teams, Western Washington and Simon Fraser. The Lady Chaps left the state of Washington with two impressive victories.
But it was the loss to Newman in conference play when Gomez saw a team that had matured and was ready to make a run in the tournament. The team could have blamed the loss on officials, instead they looked inward.
Lubbock Christian spent the entire postseason fighting for respect from the NCAA selection committee. The Lady Chaps were a No. 3 seed in the South Central Regional and had to travel to Grand Junction, Colo. for the first two games of their regional.
The Lady Chaps felt slighted once again after winning the South Central Regional when the NCAA gave them the No. 5 seed in the Elite 8. That left Lubbock Christian with a tough road to the finals.
"This team fed itself better when they didn't think they were the ones that everybody was expecting to win so I thought that was good to be in that middle seeding situation where we had nothing to lose and everything to prove," Gomez said.
The Lady Chaps certainly proved themselves and opened the Elite 8 with a dominating 99-54 win over No. 4 seed North Georgia.
That set up a Final Four showdown with No. 1 seed and undefeated Drury. Lubbock Christian then defeated the Panthers, 69-60, to advance to the championship.
The Lady Chaps faced a rematch in the finals against No. 2 seed Southwestern Oklahoma State, a team that had won 35 straight games and defeated LCU 77-75 during the Lady Chaps early season losing streak.
Lubbock Christian won the title, but no team wins the championship without leaders.
Olivia Robertson was leader the Lady Chaps needed. Gomez spoke glowingly of his senior from Kerrville Tivy High School who averaged 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
Lubbock Christian also relied heavily on the inside play of Maddi Chitsey. Chitsey struggled early in the season and eventually lost her role in the starting lineup for the Lady Chaps.
"She went through probably a month of just not playing good," Gomez said.
The junior from Wall, Texas is a kind-hearted individual who had to find her competitive fire.
"She's one of those kids that has a heart for the team, loves people, and I think she finally stopped playing apologetically and was willing to just be dominant," Gomez said.
Chitsey became dominant down the stretch as she averaged 13.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game for the Lady Chaps and nailed a crucial 3-pointer in the final seconds of the first overtime to send the game to the second and deciding overtime.
Teams also don't win a national title without having some key role players who may not see much playing time or fill up the stat sheet.
Julianna Robertson was a key member for the Lady Chaps. LCU may not have been in the Elite 8 without the younger Robertson as she had a huge block shot and a steal late in the South Central Regional semifinal against Colorado Mesa.
The sophomore also drew a huge charge against Angelo State in the regional final to prevent the Belles from tying the game with under a minute to play.
"Julianna Robertson, Olivia's sister, was just huge for us in some games defensively just providing steals or rebounds or being in the right place," Gomez said.
Sophomore Ashton Duncan, whose father is the coach of the Lubbock Christian men's basketball team, was another unsung hero for the Lady Chaps.
"Ashton Duncan, she played some for us early in the year and next year we expect her to be really productive," Gomez said. "Just the best attitude, energetic on the bench. Our bench players were as valuable as anything because they provided us so much energy and positivity and they're just such unselfish kids.
One will notice some common themes when looking at the Lubbock Christian roster. Many players are four-year players from West Texas high schools and have had success in high school with deep playoff runs or state championships.
"To have Canyon girls, Nazareth girls, Wall girls, even Kerrville (Tivy), really that's the whole key for us is getting kids that know what it takes to win," Gomez said. "They expect to win and when they get in these situations of championship environments they've been there and it's not some new experience."
When looking back on this season, Gomez will recall the struggle the Lady Chaps faced early in the season and how overcoming adversity is a huge part of life.
"This is more realistic to life just what this team (went through)," Gomez said. "Going through struggle, going through adversity, this reflects most people's lives. It's not just undefeated life. You think through (problems), God where are you in this situation and he's there all the time it's just a matter of us opening our eyes.

Is the future of retail all about branding?
There is currently an abundance of new promotional & technological initiatives being seen on the British high street, with many established and well-loved retailers investing in marketing projects to stand out in a crowded market.
In recent times, the market as a whole has embraced the opportunities afforded by a multichannel presence, but arguably no company has been more successful in this endeavour than technology giant Apple, outsmarting competitors and setting trends through constant innovation.
Where other retailers in the same sector may fall flat in providing the optimum brand experience in store, Apple has an open door policy, allowing users to browse its products with no obligation to open their wallet.
Could this be a model for UK retailers to aspire to, shifting their focus away from simply selling products in store to building an atmosphere that caters for the customer's particular tastes and ideals?
According to customer intelligence agency, Indicia, 20 per cent of audiences have become mini-brands themselves, known as Brands In Their Own Right (BITOR)s.
Communicating their likes and dislikes through social media channels such as Facebook allows for them to be approached by the brand rather than the other way around, a seismic shift in the way the sector operates.
Ian Stockley, Managing Director at Indicia, commented on these promotional changes.
"We've seen the rise of savvy shoppers, but this is the next generation," he told Retail Gazette.
"Historically, it was the brands that had the control, pushing their messages and products; but times are changing.
"Consumers are seeing the value of social media in putting themselves in the shop window for brands to target them with highly targeted offers. Marketers who are yet to identify the trend for consumers to become BIORs as social media becomes a greater part of our lives risk missing out on a growing audience with money to spend."
Marks and Spencer (M&S) has cultivated and maintained a reputation as a reliable British retailer by updating its ranges in store and differentiating itself from its competitors through innovation.
One such brave decision was the 'papple', an apple that tastes like a pear. This move emphasises the retailer's awareness that the appeal is not just the products but creating a culture of trust with the consumer by updating already high quality merchandise.
Creating inspiring packaging is a major focus for the company, with its ranges often informed by consumer trends and public interest, with a Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations-themed food range a recent addition to its offering.
Daniel Himsworth, Corporate PR Manager at Marks and Spencer, told Retail Gazette: "Throughout our history, we've worked hard to ensure our offer continues to be relevant to our customers.
"Customers are at the heart of the M&S business and through our in-house Customer Insight Unit, we ensure their needs are recognised in all our business decisions.
"Through a combination of focus groups and consumer research, we are in touch with over 17,000 customers every month, helping us anticipate their needs and respond quickly to trends."
Elsewhere, Burberry has taken the fashion sector by storm through a plethora of new innovations, all with the intention of embedding the brand in the consumer's consciousness.
In terms of digital marketing, it has doubled its Facebook fans in the last year alone. Unique takes on what constitutes a fashion show have attracted attention from all over the world, making it the hottest ticket in town during the maelstrom of London Fashion Week.
Most recently, digitally projected holograms of models during a catwalk show were fused with the real-life versions at the Beijing store opening. Creating all the pomp of a magician's trick, the holograms then disappeared into a

Adam Faith
Birthday: June 23, 1940
Birth Place: Acton, London, England, UK
Below is a complete filmography (list of movies he's appeared in) for Adam Faith. If you have any corrections or additions, please email us at corrections@actorsofhollywood.com. We'd also be interested in any trivia or other information you have.
In an interview in Disc magazine published in June 1959, following the release of his third (and ultimately unsuccessful) single, Adam Faith declared that his ambition was to become an actor/director - not a singer. Nine years, thirty-five singles, twenty-four chart entries, fifteen EPs, seven albums later; he finally decided to leave the record industry to concentrate fully on fulfilling his thespian dream. Over the next thirty-four years, Faith was to achieve at least the major part of this long-held ambition by becoming one of Britain's most popular stars of stage and screen. However, during his singing career with EMI, he vied with Cliff Richard as the UK's most popular male singer and pop-idol.Adam Faith was born Terry Nelhams in Acton, London on June 23rd 1940, the third of five children. He attended John Perryn secondary modern school, Acton, and from the age of twelve was soon able to demonstrate his entrepreneurial skills by means of a series of paper rounds, which enabled him to finance his own clothes budget. This was augmented further when he started selling papers from a pitch to enable him to pay for more than 100 pounds worth of other 'gear'. This gear included a record player and an impressive bicycle, both costing around 28 pounds; a large sum indeed by nineteen-fifties standards. All this was achieved before he left school, at which point he embarked on his first full-time job as an odd job boy for a silk screen printer close to his home.After only a few weeks with this company, he heard of a vacancy for a messenger boy at Rank Screen Services and was taken on at the princely sum of 3 pounds ten shillings per week dedicating himself to the task of obtaining a transfer to the studios. However, after a year elapsed without any sign of his move, he left to join a company in Wardour Street, Soho, known as TV Advertising Ltd. This was a period when he, like many of his peers, was bitten by the skiffle bug which was then sweeping Britain. His first great idol was Lonnie Donegan who inspired him to form his first group with colleagues from work. They called themselves 'The Worried Men' after one of their most popular numbers, 'Worried Man Blues'. According to Nelhams, they played all the local Soho expresso coffee bars - Mars, The Cat's Whiskers, Orlando's, The Skiffle Cellar and of course the famous Two Is, where they eventually became resident.Nelhams was soon becoming exhausted, which was not surprising in view of his extra curricular activities. He had been promoted to assistant cutter at TV Advertising and not only did he combine evening performances with his day job, but he also decided to take managerial responsibility for the group's affairs. Jack Good's "Six-Five Special" (1957) TV programme had a reputation for originality. One idea was to broadcast a show direct from the Two Is. Naturally, as the resident band, The Worried Men opened and closed the programme, valuable exposure, and, ultimately, Nelham's first big break.Good was impressed with Nelhams' performance but not necessarily with the group as a whole. He invited him back on the show as a solo singer, convinced of his potential as Britain's answer to James Dean. Nelhams, encouraged by this optimism, gave up his job as a film cutter and turned professional. Good not only secured him a recording contract with EMI's HMV label on the strength of the TV appearance, but also helped him choose the now familiar name, Adam Faith. Faith's debut disc combined '(Got a) Heartsick Feeling' with 'Brother Heartache & Sister Tears', and was released in January 1958. It received very little publicity either in the form of music press coverage or from EMI's own advertisement department. Not surprisingly it failed to make any impression on the charts. Despite all Good's confidence in him, he failed to make any immediate impression on television either, but gave him another opportunity when he booked him to appear in his stage show version of Six Five Special. 'The John Barry Seven' were also on the bill and this brief first meeting with John Barry was later to prove of vital importance. However, the stage show wasn't the success Good envisaged, and after just four performances, Faith found himself out of work.Faith, as ever the survivor, swallowed his pride and made the painful decision to abandon his show biz career by returning to the film cutting world. Despite this, HMV released his second single in December of the same year, a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis' 'High School Confidential', backed with 'Country Music Holiday'. Apart from scant attention in the music press, mainly to the effect that he was covering a Jerry Lee song, it attracted no publicity whatsoever. After a couple of temporary jobs back in the business, he found a job as a cutter at the National Studios at Elstree. It was while he was there he received a phone call from John Barry in March of 1959, inviting him to audition for "Drumbeat" (1959). This new programme was an attempt by BBC television to counter ATV's popular "Oh Boy!" (1958) show. After sufficiently impressing producer Stewart Morris, he landed an initial contract for three shows which was later extended to the full 22 week run.Fortune once again smiled on Faith when Barry introduced him to his own manager, the redoubtable Eve Taylor. Taylor, whose father was a show-business impresario of some renown, was steeped in the tradition and was herself part of a comedy and tap-dancing act during the thirties. Since becoming an agent she had established a reputation for never accepting anything less than the best for her clients, and many an errant theatre manager had experienced the lash of her biting tongue! She readily agreed to take him on, and immediately set about changing his image and appearance, securing him another recording contract, initially with Top Rank.His only record for them ('Ah, Poor Little Baby' / 'Runk Bunk') was released on the 6th June, with only the former side benefiting from an arrangement and accompaniment by John Barry. Both sides, incidentally, were produced by Tony Hatch, just prior to his appointment as an A & R manager at Pye/Piccadilly Records. Unfortunately, the record once again failed to attract the pop pundit, but on this occasion Faith was clearly hindered by a total absence of publicity caused by the release date unluckily coinciding with a national printing strike! Despite the failure of his first three records, Faith was becoming very well known and popular through his Drumbeat appearances. Acting still held a sway for him, and in August he announced his intention of taking drama and elocution classes, in order to enhance his acting potential. It was about half-way through the Drumbeat series when Faith attracted the attention of film producer George Willoughby, who was searching for a young pop singer to appear in his new film, Beat Girl (1960), then in pre-production stage. Although Faith had little record success up till then, Willoughby was struck by his stage presence and so signed him on the strength of this. The script called for Faith to sing a couple of songs. As Barry was by then arranging not only Faith's recordings but also his live Drumbeat material, it came as no surprise when the film company asked him to write the score to accompany Faith's big screen debut - Barry's own very first steps into the world of film music composing.His success on Drumbeat enabled Eve Taylor to secure him another recording contract - this time with Parlophone. The quest for suitable material to launch the Parlophone debut began in earnest and was eventually resolved out of a friendship built up on Drumbeat. A study of the Drumbeat scripts reveal how Faith had initially concentrated on singing a large proportion of cover versions; the majority, up-tempo slices of American rock 'n' roll. A significant turning point ensued when he asked to perform his own version of the current Cliff Richard hit - 'Living Doll'. It became apparent to Barry that Faith's vocal delivery was more attractive in a gentler mode, and, as a result of this discovery, decided to concentrate on delivering this kind of material. Nevertheless, before this first Parlophone single was issued, Faith made his label debut on the live Drumbeat album, recorded on the 10th May at Abbey Road Studios, London and released two months later. On this LP, the rock 'n' roll influence remained. Faith sang three numbers - 'Say Mama', 'C'mon Everybody' and 'Believe What You Say' - all accompanied by John Barry.The Drumbeat LP also showcased the performing talents of one John Worsley, a member of The Raindrops vocal trio. Worth was to become the final piece in the Parlophone backroom jigsaw that catapulted Faith from contender to champion in the pop market place. Worth, born in Battersea, London on 21st June 1931, began working as a draughtsman prior to his compulsory two years national service. On returning to civvy street, he was determined to stay out of office work and make his name as a singer. Like many singers, he also aspired towards song writing although his first three attempts were rejected out of hand by music publishers. However, when Faith, striking up a friendship with him on the Drumbeat set, asked if he had any material suitable for recording, Worth approached JB7 pianist Les Reed to help him arrange a demo of one of these initial songs 'What Do You Want?'. Barry has always been credited with the idea of using pizzicato strings (inspired by Buddy Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore"), but according to Worth, this was entirely his own brainchild. Because he was still under contract to Oriole, Worth felt the need to adopt a pseudonym whilst writing songs and so was born Les Vandyke. This was derived by combining Reed's own first name with Worth's London telephone exchange!Barry was suitably impressed enough with the demo to commence working on an arrangement for the song using that same Buddy Holly influenced pizzicato style. According to Faith, the singing style he adopted for this now legendary recording, was based on coaching he received from Roy Young, another Drumbeat cast member. Having heard Faith rehearsing it during a shared car journey, he made a number of suggestions, in particular persuading him to alter his pronunciation of 'baby' to 'bay-beh'. 'What Do You Want?' (c/w 'From Now Until Forever') was recorded at Abbey Road studios on September 25th 1959 - a mere month after Drumbeat ended. At the same time Faith was also signed to appear in an episode of Rediffusion's "No Hiding Place" (1959) TV series. Norman Newell, Faith and Barry's A & R manager, was unable to produce the recording session. As a result, assistant John Burgess took the helm in his absence, and was to do so for the remainder of Faith's EMI career. According to Barry, on hearing the record, Newell publicly declared his disapproval, vowing that Barry would on no account ever be allowed to take part in any more sessions! After the recording Barry admitted that both he and Faith were despondent following previous commercial failures. This time they were determined to impose their own personal tastes far more emphatically than they had done previously, when the flavour of the day tended to override aesthetic considerations.Despite favourable reviews of 'What Do You Want?', on its 24th October release date in both The New Musical Express and Disc, manager Eve Taylor still insisted that Faith's future lay in acting. Keith Fordyce, writing in the former, praised Barry's arrangement and choice of instrumentation - Jack Good, columnist in its rival, applauded the production, tipping chart success on both sides of the Atlantic. EMI, perhaps scenting success, mounted a strong advertising campaign promoting the single far more vigorously than either of Faith's first two HMV releases.In the following issue of Disc, Eve Taylor, recognising good copy when she saw it, claimed Faith had definitely made his last record to concentrate on acting, citing his appearance in a ninety-minute drama for Rediffusion TV at the end of year, as evidence. Despite this, 'What Do You Want?' was given a considerable boost when it was played and voted a unanimous hit on BBC TV's "Juke Box Jury" (1959), and when Faith sang it live on an edition of ATV's 'Boy Meets Girl'.On the 14th November, the first tangible sign of chart recognition was apparent when The Record Mirror's 'British Only' chart listed 'What Do You Want?' as a new entry at number nine. Clearly, interest was growing, to a point when it entered the NME charts at number eighteen the following week. Adam Faith, singer, had clearly arrived. His mentor, Jack Good, whilst applauding his success, claimed his acting actually improved his singing. He also mentioned that the song was initially rejected by Johnny Kidd, although Worth denied this, maintaining that he had refused permission for Kidd to use it when the singer had wanted to give it a rock 'n' roll treatment. Another surprise arrived with the revelation that the orchestral backing consisted of just four strings, with two tenor saxes suggesting the sound of a cello.By December, Faith was number one in the NME charts. He confessed to being terrified of becoming just another overnight sensation and was therefore determined to continue to develop his acting skills by way of special training at the Royal Court Theatre. He admitted to enjoying Frank Sinatra, 'Peter Gunn', Sibelius' 1st Symphony and playing golf - tastes considered rather esoteric and sophisticated for a typical teenager of the period! At this stage, he still lived at home in Acton with his parents, an older sister, a twin brother & sister - another brother having already married and left the roost.Any one-hit wonder will tell you of the problems associated with finding an equally memorable follow up. Not surprisingly, the Faith management decided to rely on the Worth / Barry team for inspiration, and this proved a wise move. At the recording session, John Burgess again took charge of production, since Norman Newell was afraid of upsetting a winning formula. On the 15th January, 'Poor Me' was released with 'WDYW' still at number two in the charts! Faith had finished recording his Beat Girl songs just three days previously and had signed to appear in another film - 'Moment Of Truth'. The following day, he received a silver disc for 'What Do You Want', awarded for sales of 250,000 and appeared on BBC Radio's Saturday Club, following this with a guest appearance on the Beverley Sister's TV show on 25th January, where he sang 'Poor Me'. This song, another originally rejected by several music publishers in its original incarnation as 'Poor Man', shot to number one in the U.K. charts.After the success of 'Poor Me', Faith - the 'reluctant' pop-singer - revealed how much he wanted to sustain his chart success! His new film, now retitled Never Let Go (1960), commenced filming on 22nd February, and starred Peter Sellers and Richard Todd. With his newly acquired wealth generated from two number one singles, he announced his plan to buy a new car, a new house for his parents and to invest the rest! (a significant move in light of his subsequent financial success).Although his next record, 'Big Time' / 'Someone Else's Baby', released on the 8th April while 'Poor Me' was still at fifteen in the charts, just failed to become his third consecutive number one (it was beaten off by the Everly Brothers' 'Cathy's Clown'); during the next few years Faith went on to score many more hits. His albums were successful, too. 'Beat Girl', for example, issued at a time when the film had yet to surface in the cinema, attracted excellent reviews and reached the top ten in the UK album charts. Though this was in the main a John Barry instrumental album, three songs were sung by Faith and this fact alone could only have enhanced sales. One of these songs, 'The Beat Girl Song', written by Barry and Trevor Peacock, failed to appear in the film itself.December brought two more significant events in the ever-changing world of Adam Faith. Firstly he bought a Hampton Court house for 6000 pounds, where he moved with the rest of his family from the Acton council house. Secondly, he was invited and agreed to appear on BBC TV's controversial yet prestigious "Face to Face" (1960) - a major coup this, for Faith. Transmitted live on December 11th, Faith surprised many a viewer by dint of his resolution and alertness in the face of some tough questioning from presenter John Freeman.Faith's third film, the comedy What a Whopper (1961), was premiered during the summer although the title song was not considered strong enough for single release. Instead he chose a song from the film, entitled 'The Time Has Come' written, as usual by Johnny Worth. This reached number four in the charts, and fared better than the film, which opened at the Rialto, London on 28th September, to a terrible pasting from the press.In March of '62, Faith undertook an eleven day nature cure at a Surrey rest home. He had not stopped touring and recording for eight months and was completely fatigued. At the Surrey retreat, Faith absorbed the script for his next film project, Mix Me a Person (1962), which was due to start filming immediately after this short period of recuperation. August dawned with good reviews for Mix Me A Person which opened in London. This, his fourth film, was a thriller in which his character (Harry Jukes) spent a great deal of time behind bars. He did manage to sing a couple of songs, however, en route; the title song and a version of 'La Bamba'.One of the biggest news items in the music industry that autumn stemmed from the surprise decision from the Barry and Faith camp to sever musical links - a purely amicable arrangement designed to enable both parties to develop alternative projects. Barry explained the motives behind this move more fully in an interview with Record Mirror's Peter Jones: "In the early days, Johnny Worth, Adam and I were concentrating on one thing, Adam's records. We were after bread. We were all starting in the business and we were all ambitious. But towards one end only. We were all in the same boat but eventually you reach a climax in all that channelled activity. I'd say it is impossible for three people to stick together permanently in this way. You are bound to develop into different adult channels. We wanted financial gains. When you've got those, you can relax and choose your work. It's a matter of sitting back and considering precisely what you want to do in your career. Do you want to be tied by the boundaries of pop music? Do you want to include all kinds of music? Or all art forms? As an artist, a musician, you can learn something from all forms.....From literature, films and comedy. So no, it wasn't a surprise I left. But you might say it was a surprise I stayed so long."Initially, the hits continued almost unabated, first with Johnny Keating taking over as arranger and accompanying Faith with his orchestra, and then accompanied by a new group, The Roulettes.Faith flew to Australia in October with John Leyton for an 18 day tour that also encompassed New Zealand & Hong Kong, returning to his new home in Esher, Surrey; a 'manor-type' house set in an acre of landscaped garden. The house itself included a ground floor billiards room and a blue-carpeted bedroom housing a white, silk-covered king-sized bed - with an adjoining wardroom. What's more, he employed a butler, maid, gardener and valet! How times had changed from those childhood days in Acton.But the hits eventually began to dry up. In 1967 his biggest 'hit' was his marriage to former dancer, Jackie Irving. Quite possibly his biggest commercial coup was in persuading Sandie Shaw to perform and record 'Puppet On A String' - a decision she was later to regret. Not only did it become the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, but it also reached number one in the U.K. and in a plethora of other European countries. Faith convinced her it was in her best interests to sing it, after she had fallen out with their mutual manager over its merits as a song. Her gratitude to Faith for his advice was somewhat tempered, however, when Taylor revealed much later that he had a financial interest in her and the song's publishers! Clearly Faith's aptitude for spotting an investment opportunity had not diminished.Adam Faith released his last single for EMI in 1968, 'You Make My Life Worthwhile'. Arranged and conducted by Ken Woodman, it was an excellent recording which deserved a better fate, but with Faith opting to make his stage debut playing Feste in Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night', he was in no position to promote it. In view of this, both he and EMI decided to part company; Faith, the actor, was consigning Faith, the pop star, to the annals of music history.Faith's success on stage and screen was hardly unexpected, given his thirst for knowledge and capacity for hard work. He decided to learn stage craft from first principles in repertory theatre, out of which a number of small parts initially emanated. This stood him in good stead, when he was given a more substantial role in 'Night Must Fall', playing opposite Dame Sybil Thorndike. In effect, this amounted to his big break; his stage equivalent of appearing on 'Drumbeat'! In the autumn of '69 he took the lead in a touring version of 'Billy Liar', and eighteen months later found renewed television fame in the title role of "Budgie" (1971).Apart from one comeback album for Warner Bros in 1974, (borne, one suspects, out of a desire to celebrate in song his full recovery from a near fatal car crash a year earlier) and an original cast recording he made of the musical version of Budgie in 1988, Faith concentrated almost solely on acting and went a considerable way to achieving his ambition expressed so lucidly back in 1959, prior to his nineteenth birthday.During the seventies, he impressed both movie-goers and critics alike with convincing performances in Stardust (1974) and McVicar (1980), and also found time to immerse himself in the management side of the rock industry. Budding agent and song-writer Dave Courtney (who Faith knew as a result of his association with The Roulettes) introduced him to former busker Leo Sayer. Instantly impressed by Sayer's vocal prowess and song writing ability, he immediately set out a strategy for launching his protégée, and, as a direct spin-off, also produced a solo album for The Who's Roger Daltry, which contained a selection of Sayer/Courtney songs.The eighties saw Faith once again reinvent himself in the public eye, this time in the form of a self-appointed financial guru and even wrote a column for 'The Mail On Sunday', aptly titled 'Faith In The City', which epitomised the "get rich quick" philosophy espoused in that Thatcher-drenched decade. It ended on something of a sour note when he was prevented from issuing a free fact sheet which promised to make its recipients millionaires! This was also a period when Faith was often heard to be scathing about his own recording legacy, holding it chiefly responsible for scuppering his attempts at securing a lasting acting career. As guest at a dinner party where his old hits were being played, he was chastised by the host for criticising them so harshly, for rubbishing the very music he had enjoyed as a youth. Faith was rather taken aback by this accusation and was forced to re-appraise his feelings for his pop career.Judging from subsequent comments made in the media, he has clearly done so. On the eve of the release of a brand new album, 'Midnight Postcards', (released in November '93), he told 'The Daily Mail' that he was no longer dismissive about his pop star roots and saw no incongruency in combining an acting with a singing career. "I retired from singing 20 years ago so I could be an actor. I had begun to hate my pop association because I so wanted to act. In those days you couldn't really do both. Now I realise that the two things I do best are singing and acting. I'm only sorry that it has taken me so long to combine the two."On stage for some years he performed the title role in 'Alfie' around the provinces, played the narrator in 'A Chorus Line' and very recently toured the UK in 'Love & Marriage'. Often in demand for television, following his initial success with Budgie, in the nineties he starred in the highly successful BBC TV drama, "Love Hurts" (1992), with 'Zoe Wannamaker' ; and in 2002 he made the less popular "The House That Jack Built" (2002) - also for the BBC.He had a heart by-pass operation in the mid-eighties, but had enjoyed reasonable health from then onwards. However, the failure of his cable TV channel, The Money Channel, a couple of years ago, resulting in his bankruptcy, may have taken its toll. He was planning a one-man stage performance tour of Britain next year, in which he would act out his career, including some of the songs which launched his career. He died at the age of 62 from a heart attack, a few hours after finishing a performance of Love & Marriage.

Q: How can be C files linked when using E-ACSL plugin? I am trying to generate an annotated file with Frama-C E-ACSL plugin. I created the following files:

*

*Insert.c: contains all the structures to create a linked list.

*AxiomTest.c: includes the main function where the asserts it must fulfil are indicated. All functions and structures are determined in terms of Insert.c file

When compiling/instrumenting a program the manual specifies the following terminal command:
$ e-acsl-gcc.sh -c <files> -O <output>

For a successful compilation Insert.c and AxiomTest.c must be linked but I cannot find any flag for that.
Any help? Or is there any other way to do it right?

A: e-acsl-gcc.sh does compile and link files with option -c, despite looking like it only compiles (the -c here is unrelated to GCC's -c option, which does only compilation, without linking).
If you want to give extra flags to the linker, man e-acsl-gcc.sh (or e-acsl-gcc.sh -h) will indicate option -l:
-l         pass additional options to the linker

Q: Extract a page from a pdf flle I'm running Kubuntu 18.04.  I want to extract page 10 from a PDF file in the form of another PDF file. The program qpdf is supposed to do that. When I run the command
qpdf 0092434747.pdf --pages . 10 -- - > mtg.pdf
it seems to do the extraction, but there's no output; the file mtg.pdf is not created. I get the same result with (the more straightforward command)
qpdf 0092434747.pdf --pages . 10 -- mtg.pdf
What am I missing?

A: The magic combination of options is qpdf --empty --pages infile.pdf 1-5 -- outfile.pdf.

A: On Ubuntu I use Evince for PDFs, and I use the normal print dialog for extracting pages. In the printer selection, I have an option "Print to file". Then there is the field where I can enter which pages I want to be "printed". The result is a saved .pdf file.


It is well known that windsurfers are probably the most loyal and passionate sportsmen when you compare with other sporting disciplines. But it is something special that has to be engrained in the mind to have the ability to go outside in winds that are below zero degrees centigrade, over 40knots and hook yourself into your equipment that drags you at lightning speeds across knee deep water. It wouldn't be fair to say that the speedies are the adrenaline junkies of the windsurfing world but you could say that they were on an equal platform. Considering the variables that straying downwind can put you in chop that will make the board feel like jelly or some of the locations require you to hang outboard over solid concrete walls, it's a pretty fair to say that this group of people fall somewhere into the slightly mental category.
Angelo Pecere, the visionary behind Ghost of Speed let us have this snippet about the movie and gallery of images from a photo shoot at The Brace.
I'm half way to the water, I see them from afar, gathered in groups to discuss the tide and mounting fins to the boards. Dylan De Jong jumps into the water with caution and tests the path, others curiously look on, the bottom is good and the twelve inches of water near the sandbar are sufficient to ensure full speed safely enough. The runs begin, with an easy wind around 30 knots but bad chop on the upwind to return to the starting point.
Speedsurfers in the pictures: Jurjen van der Noord, Dylan De Jong, Manfred Malcorps, Johan Huitema, Ferdinand Rikkers, John Tuyn, Gerlof Hansma, Anne Evert van der Ven.

Discover what you need to know to buy and sell MOAC tokens.
MOAC, an acronym of Mother of All Chains, is a Chinese blockchain project built with the aim of competing with Ethereum. Launched in a June 2017 ICO, MOAC uses multi-layer architecture to offer a smart contract platform designed to offer efficiency, speed and reliability.
MOAC tokens are the native asset of the MOAC ecosystem. This guide explains how and where to buy, sell and store these tokens, and how they can be used on the MOAC platform.
Register for an account at an exchange like CoinBene.
Select USDT as your deposit coin.
Click "Deposit Address" and copy your wallet address.
Transfer USDT into your account.
Enter the amount of MOAC you want to buy.
If you want to buy MOAC tokens, read on for detailed, step-by-step instructions on what you need to do.
At time of writing (June 2018) there are only two exchanges that list MOAC in a currency pair — CoinBene and Bit-Z. Compare these platforms to decide which one is the best fit for your trading needs.
You can then sign up for an account by providing your email address and creating a password. Make sure you also enable two-factor authentication so that your account is protected by an extra layer of security.
There's currently no way you can buy MOAC tokens directly with US dollars. Instead, you can only exchange another digital currency for MOAC tokens — they're paired with Tether (USDT) on CoinBene and Ether (ETH) on Bit-Z.
If you don't already hold ETH or USDT, check out our how to buy ETH or how to buy USDT guides for more details on how to acquire these currencies. You can then transfer them into your exchange wallet by copying your wallet address.
For example, you can do this info on CoinBene by clicking "Deposit" and selecting USDT as your currency. You can then click on "Deposit Address" to view and copy your wallet address.
The final step is to navigate to the trading page on your chosen exchange, search for a MOAC trading pair and enter your transaction details. For example, if you're on CoinBene you can do this by clicking the "Exchange" tab, searching for the "MOAC/USDT" pair and then entering the amount of MOAC you want to buy or the amount of USDT you want to spend.
Take a moment to review the details of your transaction, including the total cost, before clicking "Buy MOAC".
If you want to sell your MOAC tokens, you'll need to navigate your way to the trading page just as you did in step 3 above. However, this time you'll need to make sure you enter the details of your transaction in the "Sell MOAC" tab.
Which wallets can I use to hold MOAC?
Once you've purchased your tokens, it's recommended that you move them away from the exchange and into a private wallet for security reasons. As MOAC tokens are ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum network, you'll need to use a wallet that's ERC20-compatible.
Examples of products you might use include MetaMask, the MyEtherWallet web interface or the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet.
MOAC [aims] to design a scalable and resilient blockchain that supports transactions, data access, [and] control flow in a layered structure. It creates the framework to allow users to execute Smart Contracts in an efficient way. It also provides the architecture to spawn sub blockchains using underlying infrastructure quickly and easily.
First announced in June 2017, when it raised nearly $7 million in an ICO, MOAC aims to compete with and improve on the Ethereum network. With Ethereum facing well-publicized scalability problems, MOAC adds additional layers known as MicroChains to its network. Each MicroChain is designed to process different types of transactions — balance transfer and smart contract transactions — to increase throughput.
To achieve network consensus, MOAC uses a layered consensus stack. The underlying layer uses proof of work (PoW), and is used to process critical transactions and control flow transactions only. The top layer (MicroChains) adopts a proof of stake (PoS) protocol and uses sharding to provide faster processing and higher throughput.
Cryptocurrencies are complicated and speculative, and buying any digital coin or token involves a high level of risk. Make sure you're aware of those risks and that you've researched all the factors that can influence the value of any cryptocurrency before making a purchase.
Supply. According to CoinMarketCap, at time of writing (June 2018) the circulating supply of tokens was 35,897,055 MOAC, out of a total supply of 56,483,386 MOAC. The initial quantity of tokens offered is capped at 150,000,000.
Availability. MOAC tokens can only be bought and sold on two exchanges. Consider whether this lack of visibility might have a negative effect on perceptions of the project's legitimacy, and also whether obtaining listings on additional exchanges could increase demand for MOAC.
Whitepaper. For more information on the tech behind the MOAC project and how the platform operates, check out the MOAC white paper.
Mining. MOAC blocks are mined every 10 seconds (approx.) and the current reward is around 2 MOAC per block. The block reward will halve every 12.5 million blocks, which is roughly every 4 years. As a result, the block reward is expected to drop to 1 MOAC in the year 2022.
Community. Though it has had minimal marketing, MOAC boasts a community of almost 100,000 followers through WeChat and other Chinese social media networks.
The future. The MOAC mainnet went live on April 30, 2018, so just like many other crypto projects, MOAC is still in the early stages of its development. The team expects to have at least 100 dapps running on its network by the end of 2018, but whether or not the platform can achieve widespread adoption remains to be seen.
ERC20. Although MOAC is currently an ERC20 token, it's expected to switch over to tokens issued on its own blockchain. However, no exact date has been announced for this token swap.
By considering these and a range of other factors, you'll be able to make an informed decision about whether or not to buy any MOAC tokens.
