MechWarrior Online — игра из серии компьютерных игр с одноимённым названием MechWarrior. Действие новой игры традиционно разворачивается во вселенной Battletech, время событий на момент бета-тестов и запуска — перед самым вторжением Кланов во Внутреннюю Сферу.

Изначально предполагалось наличие в новой MechWarrior полноценной однопользовательской кампании. В 2011 году концепция игры была изменена, и она превратилась в массовую многопользовательскую онлайн-игру, распространяемую по модели free-to-play.

Подобные игры — симуляторы мехов
Классическая игра серии MechWarrior, геймплей которой построен на управлении мехом (большим шагающим боевым механическим роботом), а действие происходит в своей вселенной, именуемой Battletech. Самой близкой по времени разработки и выпуска с игрой MechWarrior Online является игра Hawken, которая тоже давала возможность управлять боевыми мехами, но меньшего размера. В отличие от Mechwarrior Online, эта игра отличалась большей динамикой и аркадностью, являясь по сути обычным шутером.

Сюжет
16 ноября 2011 года в своем блоге разработчики сообщили, что сюжет игры будет начинаться в 3049 году, перед самым вторжением Кланов во Внутреннюю Сферу.

Мехи
Первоначально в игре было представлено 8 мехов: Jenner, Raven, Hunchback, Centurion, Dragon, Catapult, Awesome, Atlas.

Разработка
Анонс новой части сериала MechWarrior вызвал неподдельный интерес игрового сообщества. Последнее издание в серии — MechWarrior 4 Compilation — вышло в 2004 году, являлось всего лишь компиляцией всех предыдущих версий MechWarrior 4: Vengeance и с тех пор серия, казалось, прекратила существование — разработка «MechWarrior 5» была прекращена через год после её начала.

8 июля 2009 года анонсом новой части игры и демонстрацией трейлера с видео игрового процесса Piranha Games и Smith & Tinker отметили 25-летие вселенной Battletech. Как было сообщено, разработчики готовят продолжение серии игр ещё с октября 2008 года.

Разработку игры возглавляют два лидера проекта — Jordan Weisman из компании Smith & Tinker (в прошлом создатель вселенной Battletech и основатель FASA Corporation), и Russ Bullock, президент компании Piranha Games.

До 2011 года игра носила рабочее название MechWarrior. На различных новостных сайтах во избежание путаницы её называли «MechWarrior (reboot)» или «MechWarrior (2010)». Сообщалось, что она лишится порядкового номера. В своём интервью сайту IGN.com Джордан Вейсман подтвердил, что франшиза MechWarrior будет перезапущена.

Компания Piranha Games не сумела найти издателя для игры, в результате чего будущее проекта оказалось под угрозой. В 2011 году было принято решение сделать новую MechWarrior массовой многопользовательской онлайн-игрой, распространяемой по модели free-to-play.

В октябре 2011 года в Твиттере был дан старт рекламной кампании игры. 23 октября 2011 года был открыт официальный сайт игры.

22 мая 2012 года был анонсирован старт закрытого бета тестирования.

22 мая стало известно о Founder's Package, выпущенной американским издателем игры Infinite Game Publishing. Купив одно из изданий, можно получить как игровые бонусы, так и ранний доступ к бета-версии игры с 17 июля. Позже доступ к бете в рамках Founder's Package был перенесен на 7 августа.

11 октября 2012 года было объявлено, что с 16 октября 2012 года игра переходит в стадию открытого бета тестирования, однако потом начало открытого бета тестирования было перенесено на 29 октября.

Официальный выпуск игры MechWarrior Online состоялся 17 сентября 2013 года.

Юридические сложности
3 сентября 2009 года, вскоре после опубликования видео и скриншотов игры на сайте IGN.com, фирма Harmony Gold USA (владелец франшизы Robotech) заявила о нарушении своих прав, после чего видео было убрано с IGN.com. Впервые Harmony Gold USA предъявила претензии FASA в 1996 году, заявив о незаконном использовании в серии MechWarrior дизайна мехов из принадлежащей Harmony Gold USA серии Макросс. В вышеупомянутом видео из новой игры MechWarrior показан мех Warhammer, который имеет внешний вид схожий с Destroid Tomahawk из Макросс, или с Excalibur Destroid из Robotech Series.

В результате мехи Warhammer и Marauder (изначально представлявший собой копию Zentradi Officer's battle pod из той же серии) были подвергнуты разработчиками полному редизайну и только после этого выпущены в игре.

SUNDERLAND manager Gus Poyet has been given the injury verdict on his defender Anthony Reveillere.
And Poyet is a relieved man, despite losing the left-back for at least the next weeks.
The Sunderland boss feared that Reveillere faced a much longer absence after suffering a calf injury in the warm-up before their derby at Newcastle.
It means central defender John O'Shea may have to stay as an emergency left-back against Hull on Boxing Day, although Billy Jones is close to fitness again after an injury lay-off and could fill the slot.
Poyet said: "John can play the game there and has played there at Manchester, but Billy would be more natural.

Fate Mapping Techniques
For more than 2000 years, embryologists, biologists, and philosophers have studied and detailed the processes that follow fertilization. The fertilized egg proliferates into cells that begin to separate into distinct, identifiable zones that will eventually become adult structures through the process of morphogenesis. As the cells continue to multiply, patterns form and cells begin to differentiate, and eventually commit to their fate.

Beadle and Ephrussi's Technique to Transplant Optic Discs between Fruit Fly Larvae
In 1935, George Beadle and Boris Ephrussi developed a technique to transplant optic discs between fruit fly larvae. They developed it while at the California Institute of Technology in Pasedena, California. Optic discs are tissues from which the adult eyes develop. Beadle and Ephrussi used their technique to study the development of the eye and eye pigment. (1) The experimenter dissects a donor larva, which is in the third instar stage of development, and removes the optic disc (colored red) with a micropipette.

The e-Mouse Atlas Project (1992- )
The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas, also called the e-Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP), is an online resource comprised of the e-Mouse Atlas (EMA), a detailed digital model of mouse development, and the e-Mouse Atlas of Gene Expression (EMAGE), a database that identifies sites of gene expression in mouse embryos. Duncan Davidson and Richard Baldock founded the project in 1992, and the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, funds the project.
Cerebral Organoid as a Model System in the Study of Microcephaly
Scientists use cerebral organoids, which are artificially produced miniature organs that represent embryonic or fetal brains and have many properties similar to them, to help them study developmental disorders like microcephaly. In human embryos, cerebral tissue in the form of neuroectoderm appears within the first nine weeks of human development, and it gives rise to the brain and spinal cord.
Green Fluorescent Protein
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein in the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria that exhibits green fluorescence when exposed to light. The protein has 238 amino acids, three of them (Numbers 65 to 67) form a structure that emits visible green fluorescent light. In the jellyfish, GFP interacts with another protein, called aequorin, which emits blue light when added with calcium. Biologists use GFP to study cells in embryos and fetuses during developmental processes.
Susceptibility Assay
Charles Manning Child designed an experimental test, the susceptibility assay, to measure the effects of different toxins on developmental processes. The susceptibility assay measured an organism s vulnerability to death when it was submerged in a noxious solution. The assay involved immersing an organism in a solution that contained a depressant or inhibitory substance, such as alcohol, and then measuring the responses of the organism. Child interpreted these measurements as revealing information about the relative levels of metabolic activity within the organism.
Hanging Drop Tissue Culture
The hanging drop tissue culture is a technique utilized in embryology and other fields to allow growth that would otherwise be restricted by the flat plane of culture dishes and also to minimize the surface area to volume ratio, slowing evaporation. The classic hanging drop culture is a small drop of liquid, such as plasma or some other media allowing tissue growth, suspended from an inverted watch glass. The hanging drop is then suspended by gravity and surface tension, rather than spreading across a plate.
Radioimmunoassay
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a technique in which researchers use radioactive isotopes as traceable tags to quantify specific biochemical substances from blood samples. Rosalyn Yalow and Solomon Berson developed the method in the 1950s while working at the Bronx Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in New York City, New York. RIA requires small samples of blood, yet it is extremely sensitive to minute quantities of biological molecules within the sample. The use of RIA improved the accuracy of many kinds of medical diagnoses, and it influenced hormone and immune research around the world.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are cells derived from non-pluripotent cells, such as adult somatic cells, that are genetically manipulated so as to return to an undifferentiated, pluripotent state. Research on iPSCs, initiated by Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 and extended by James Thompson in 2007, has so far revealed the same properties as embryonic stem cells (ESCs), making their discovery potentially very beneficial for scientists and ethicists alike.
Ooplasmic Transfer Technology
Ooplasmic transfer, also called cytoplasmic transfer, is an outside the body, in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique. Ooplasmic transfer in humans (Homo sapiens) is similar to in vitro fertilization (IVF), with a few additions. IVF is the process in which doctors manually combine an egg and sperm cells in a laboratory dish, as opposed to artificial insemination, which takes place in the female's body. For ooplasmic transfer, doctors withdraw cytoplasm from a donor's oocyte, and then they inject that cytoplasm with sperm into a patient's oocyte.
Noninvasive Fetal Aneuploidy Detection for Trisomy 21, 13, and 18
Noninvasive fetal aneuploidy detection technology allows for the detection of fetal genetic conditions, specifically having three chromosomes, a condition called aneuploidy, by analyzing a simple blood sample from the pregnant woman. Dennis Lo and Rossa Chiu researched methods of detection of aneuploidies in the early twenty-first century. Their research has been specifically applied to three trisomies, trisomy twenty-one known as Down syndrome, trisomy eighteen known as Edwards Syndrome, and trisomy thirteen known as Patau Syndrome.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves testing for specific genetic conditions prior to the implantation of an embryo in the uterine wall. This form of genetic screening has been made possible by the growth of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) technology, which allows for the early stages of development to occur in a laboratory dish rather than in vivo. The purpose of PGD is to identify what are considered to be abnormal embryos in order to select the most desirable embryos for implantation.

Warren Tay (1843–1927)
The arterial switch operation, also called the Jatene procedure, is an operation in which surgeons redirect the flow of blood through abnormal hearts. In 1975, Adib Jatene conducted the first successful arterial switch operation on a human infant. The arterial switch operation corrects a condition called transposition of the great arteries, abbreviated TGA, also called transposition of the great vessels, abbreviated TGV. TGA occurs when the pulmonary artery, which supplies deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the aorta, which takes oxygenated blood to the body, are switched, or transposed.
"Screening for Congenital Hypothyroidism" (1991), by Delbert A. Fisher
In his 1991 article Screening for Congenital Hypothyroidism, Delbert A. Fisher in the US reported on the implementation and impact of mass neonatal screening programs for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) from the early 1970s through 1991. CH is a condition that causes stunted mental and physical development in newborns unless treatment begins within the first three months of the newborn's life. In the early 1970s, regions in Canada and the US had implemented screening programs to diagnose and treat CH as quickly as possible after the infant's birth.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) in the US
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is an artificially created hormone first synthesized in the late 1930s. Doctors widely prescribed DES first to pregnant women to prevent miscarriages, and later as an emergency contraceptive pill and to treat breast cancer. However, in 1971, physicians showed a link between DES and vaginal cancer during puberty in the children of women who had taken DES while pregnant. Consequently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned its use during pregnancy.

The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine was created by Maurice Hilleman in 1971 at the Merck Institute of Therapeutic Research, a pharmaceutical company in West Point, Pennsylvania. It combined three separate vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella, common and sometimes fatal diseases. Measles causes a red skin rash and severe fevers that can be fatal. Mumps causes fever and swelling of the salivary glands in the mouth and jaw, while rubella causes milder fevers and skin rashes.
The Game of Life, by John Horton Conway
The Game of Life, or just Life, is a one-person game that was created by the English mathematician John Horton Conway in the late 1960s. It is a simple representation of birth, death, development, and evolution in a population of living organisms, such as bacteria. Martin Gardner popularized the Game of Life by writing two articles for his column "Mathematical Games" in the journal Scientific American in 1970 and 1971. There exist several websites that provide the Game of Life as a download or as an online game.
The Whelan Method of Sex Selection
The Whelan Method of Sex Selection is a method for increasing a couple's probability of conceiving an infant of the desired sex through timing intercourse. Elizabeth Whelan, a public health researcher, suggested that couples only have intercourse at specific times during the woman's menstrual cycle based on whether they wanted a female or male infant. Whelan published her method in her book, Boy or Girl, in 1977.
Exchange Transfusion for Jaundiced Newborns in the United States
Exchange transfusion is the replacement of blood from newborn infants with elevated bilirubin level in their blood stream with donor blood containing normal bilirubin levels. Newborn infants that experience jaundice, the yellowing of the skin and eyes, have a buildup of bilirubin, a chemical that occurs during red blood cell breakdown, or hemolysis. Exchange transfusion is a therapy developed throughout the 1940s by Louis Diamond and a group of surgeons at the Children's Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
Gunther von Hagens' Plastination Technique
Plastination is a technique for preserving tissues, organs, and whole bodies for medical purposes and public display. Gunther von Hagens invented a form of the method in 1977 at Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany after observing medical students struggle working with cadavers that quickly decomposed. Von Hagens' body models, referred to as plastinates, have since become widely used educational tools not only for those studying anatomy and medicine, but also for the general public.
A plant genetically modified that accumulates Pb is especially promising for phytoremediation (2003), by Carmina Gisbert et al.
In 2003, Carmina Gisbert and her research team produced a tobacco plant that could remove lead from soil. To do so, they inserted a gene from wheat plants that produces phytochelatin synthase into a shrub tobacco plant (Nicotiana glauca) to increase N. glauca's absorption and tolerance of toxic metals, particularly lead and cadmium. Gisbert and her team aimed to genetically modify a plant so that it could be used for phytoremediation- using plants to remove toxic substances from the soil.

"MicroSort, developed in 1990 by the Genetics and IVF Institute, is a form of pre-conception sex selection technology for humans. Laboratories located around the world use MicroSort technology to help couples increase their chances of conceiving a child of their desired sex. MicroSort separates male sperm cells based on which sex chromosome they contain, which results in separated semen samples that contain a higher percentage of sperm cells that carry the same sex chromosome.
Ericsson Method of Sperm Separation
In 1973, Ronald Ericsson developed the Ericsson method, which is a technique used to separate human male sperm cells by their genetic material. Ericsson, a physician and reproduction researcher, developed the method while conducting research on sperm isolation in Berlin, Germany, in the early 1970s. He found that the sperm cells that carry male-producing Y chromosomes move through liquid faster than the cells that carry female-producing X chromosomes.

Sex & Romance
Homeless in Vancouver
Paint guru Annie Sloan works cool hues and French flair
by Janet Smith on October 16th, 2013 at 11:16 AM
When it comes to the world of decorative furniture painting, Annie Sloan is the unofficial queen. Over the past few decades, the British design maven has written more than 20 books on the subject, run workshops across Europe and in the U.S., and launched her own paint line.
She's seen trends and colours come and go, but the urge to do DIY painting is as strong as she's ever seen it.
"We're living in an age where everything looks clean and slick, and one hotel room looks like another," the Oxford-based artist says, speaking from one of those very rooms in Montreal while on a cross-Canada tour. "You go to IKEA in any country you like now, and it looks the same. My son lives in China, and we went to the biggest IKEA in Beijing. So we're all lusting after something that's mine and mine only; something unique to me."
Having been in the decorative paint business for the past quarter-century, Sloan isn't expecting it to die off anytime soon. "I'm certain it's here to stay, it just changes its clothes now and then," she says.
But there is clearly extra appeal in these tough economic times, with the knowledge that you can often get a used or antique piece of furniture for less than the cost of something new—and yet it may be of much better quality.
"Maybe you have a mid-century-modern piece—maybe it's not a great piece, but you can paint it and make it look amazing," she says. "Or maybe it has 18th-century cabriole legs but maybe it's not very nice wood, and you can paint it and make it look really, really lovely."
Sloan will demonstrate her techniques and sign copies of her new book, Color Recipes for Painted Furniture and More (CICO Books), at the Vancouver Home and Design Show, which runs Thursday to Sunday (October 17 to 20) at B.C. Place. The appeal of her Chalk Paint decorative paint by Annie Sloan is that it's simple and multifunctional, and it can be used on a variety of surfaces: you can brush it onto everything from wood to metal and even adapt it as a dye for fabrics. And when it comes to old furniture, you won't have to prime it first.
"The big thing is you just start painting," Sloan says. "If you have to sand it down, by the time you finish stripping it you're bored, aren't you?"
At the home show, the onetime art master's student will probably apply a little of her Chalk Paint Wax after coating a flea-market find, perhaps rubbing it down with a bit of sandpaper to reveal a colour underneath, distressing it and giving it a feeling of age.
Lately she's been doing a lot of that same kind of work at her centuries-old second home, a farmhouse in Normandy, France, where the furniture is the focus of much of her new book. On one project, she used a dry cloth and wax to drag and wipe over the complementary grey shades of paint on a giant, classical armoire, painting the entire inside (visible through curving glass doors) a gorgeous Greek blue. In another, she adds the subtlest possible brass leaf to the scrolling wood arms of a rococo chair painted in her Chalk Paint's Aubusson and Duck Egg blue—one she's upholstered in classic toile.
Sloan is all too aware that many of us, even far away on the West Coast, long to add a little French elegance to our décor—and she offers plenty in her book.
"The thing about French style: it's got restrained colours," she advises. "You'll get one piece of furniture that is absolutely stunning—it'll be a beautiful armoire or have that gentle cabriole leg.
"It's not fussy," she warns. "It does have lots and lots of layers, a lot like French food—one piece of meat beautifully cooked and a little bit of vegetables. It's that kind of restrained elegance of things beautifully done. There's maybe a little bit of gilding from the chateaux, or something more in the style of the French farmhouse."
Ah, oui. But Sloan, a woman of the world who was born in Australia to a Scottish father and Fijian mother and has lived everywhere from England to South Africa to Cuba, also draws on many other sources for inspiration. Her book even features chapters on Boho Chic (think a matte-painted, multicoloured chandelier) and Modern Contemporary (a marble-topped chest of drawers painted in vivid stripes).
And she's not averse to colour trends. At the moment, she's loving any combination of blue and green—ideally her own regal Louis blue with Chalk Paint's bright Antibes green.
"We're still in a recession, and what we like are things that cool you down and relax you," she tells the Straight.
You may crave those cool colours and long to update that bedside or end table with its tired wood finish, but the sight of a paintbrush may also strike fear into you. Relax, says Sloan. It's easy.
"Everybody can paint, and I always aim everything to beginners, as if you don't know anything," she says of her demos. "It is not just for professionals, and that's why people love it." And then she adds: "There is even talk of some people becoming addicted."

Q: How can I export the datagridview to .csv without headers? My csv file is like this
There is no blank spaces or whatsoever.
The problem as you can see is that I do not know how to export my datagridview as .csv excluding column headers.
This is how I have done my export code:
    Private Sub IncomeToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles IncomeToolStripMenuItem.Click
    Dim saveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog()

    saveFileDialog1.Filter = "CSV|*.csv"
    saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = True

    If saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
        Dim incomefile As String = String.Empty

        For Each column As DataGridViewColumn In Expense.Columns
            incomefile = incomefile & column.HeaderText & ","
        Next

        incomefile = incomefile.TrimEnd(",")
        incomefile = incomefile & vbCr & vbLf

        For Each row As DataGridViewRow In Expense.Rows
            For Each cell As DataGridViewCell In row.Cells
                incomefile = incomefile & cell.FormattedValue.replace(",", "") & ","
            Next
            incomefile = incomefile.TrimEnd(",")
            incomefile = incomefile & vbCr & vbLf
        Next
        System.IO.File.WriteAllText(saveFileDialog1.FileName, incomefile)
    End If

    Dim msg1 = "Export Successful"
    Dim title = "Excel Export"
    MsgBox(msg1, , title)
End Sub

Please advise me. Some others mentioned that I'd better off use datatable to export it, but since I started to learn computer programming 43 hours ago, I have no clue on how to declare the data i have put in my datagridview and export it as csv file.

A: Remove those lines
For Each column As DataGridViewColumn In Expense.Columns
  incomefile = incomefile & column.HeaderText & ","
Next

A: Give this a try.
Private Sub BtnExport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnExport.Click
        SFD.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
        SFD.Title = "Save Your File"
        SFD.Filter = "Microsoft Excel(*.xls)|*.xls|Comma Delimited File(*.csv)|*.Csv"
        SFD.OverwritePrompt = True
        SFD.ShowDialog()
        strFileName = SFD.FileName
        ' If SFD.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
        If SFD.FilterIndex = 1 Then
            Call export()
        Else
            Call csv()
        End If
        ' End If

    End Sub

Also, try it this way.
Dim numCols As DataGridViewCell
        Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("d:\\output.txt")
        For Each numRows As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
            Dim intCellCount As Integer = numRows .Cells.Count

Проведитор — должность в Венецианской республике. Проведитор был гражданским официальным лицом, призванным наблюдать за действиями капитана наемников, которые нанимались республикой.
Должность была в значительной степени административной. Тем не менее, некоторые проведиторы, например Андреа Гритти, были вынуждены под давлением обстоятельств брать на себя непосредственное командование войсками во время войн.

Home Blog What is an Iconographer?
We have an iconographer in our midst.
Sounds like some kind of scientist, doesn't it? Or, perhaps someone from the film industry. That's a might closer.
And iconographer is someone who creates or "writes" icons – the sacred images usually associated with Eastern Orthodoxy. Iconographers prefer the term "write" to "paint" because creating an icon is a deeply prayerful and meditative experience. For centuries, these beautiful images have been the instruments of meditative prayer, both for the artist and the viewer. It's an ages-old art form that requires training, discipline, and is a vocation rather than a trade.
There aren't many iconographers worldwide, and we have only a handful of them here in the United States.
One of them is Christi Jentz, founder of Lumen Christi Art. Jentz is a native of Brookfield, Wisconsin and has studied iconography both in the US and abroad.
I was very excited to see that the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic Herald Newspaper recently ran a nice feature on Jentz, and on the international workshop she's coordinating with Greek Master Iconographer, Theodoros Papadopolous. The workshop will be held June 13-17 at the Redemptorist Retreat Center in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
Iconography is an historic, richly spiritual and aesthetically amazing trade. Enrich yourself by reading the full article on Jentz. And if you are the lest bit artistically inclined, attend the Byzantine Icon Workshop. It will be the experience of a lifetime, I promise!

War-weary South Sudanese find emergency medical care in Ethiopia
Refugee camps in Ethiopia's Gambella Region offer the best sanctuary
Since it began in December 2013, the conflict in South Sudan has forced over two million people from their homes. For those living in the east of the country, the refugee camps in Ethiopia's Gambella Region offer the best sanctuary.
"I arrived with my family after eight days of walking. We didn't have food or animals, so we were forced to sell our clothes to buy milk to survive. We decided to come to Ethiopia where we could have our basic needs met and can get education for our children," explains 20-year-old Sarah, whose third child received medical treatment at the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) clinic in the Kule refugee camp. "We can have a life here, but we plan to return to South Sudan as soon as the situation is better."
Largest refugee population in South Sudan
For most, a permanent return home is only wishful thinking after fighting erupted again last year in the east of South Sudan. In 2017 alone, 100,000 people crossed the border looking for respite. Ethiopia now hosts over 435,000 South Sudanese, the largest refugee population in the country.
Nguneyyiel camp in Ethiopia.
"Every week hundreds arrive by foot in this region, in desperate need of emergency healthcare. Often, they are severally weakened by the ordeal, with little but the clothes on their backs and horror stories of violence and destruction," explains Bart Bardok, MSF project coordinator in the Kule and Tierkidi camps. "Malnutrition and dehydration are common. When they arrive, refugees undergo a health assessment by MSF or by the health authorities and can be referred to one of our clinics."
Three refugee camps
In 2017, MSF provided medical care in three of Gambella's refugee camps. In Kule, with a population of 53,000 people, MSF runs one health centre and three health posts, while in Tierkidi camp the organization runs another three health posts, including a 24/7 maternity service, serving a population of 71,000 people. In Pugnido camp, where 66,000 people had settled, MSF ran one health post, and one extension site, together with a health centre, in Pugnido Town. This was done together with the government authorities.

MSF outreach workers walk inside a small section of Kule camp on 24 Nov 2017 visiting houses and making sure people are attending to their own health needs.
Pugnido camp did not receive any new arrivals in 2017 and MSF decided to close its health posts there in early 2018 and move activities to the new Nguenyyiel camp, setting up a health post. As of March 2018, 82,000 refugees live in Nguenyyiel camp but this is expected rise in the coming months.
Main morbidities at the camps
Across the three camps, MSF treated 340,000 people in 2017; 30 percent of these were children under-five. Malaria was one of the most significant problems with over 72,000 cases treated in the three locations; followed by respiratory infections and diarrhoea.
"Our MSF teams respond to the medical needs of the South Sudanese refugees and the local community, which in Gambella numbers over 300,000," explains Oliver Schulz, MSF's country representative in Ethiopia. "MSF has been also running mobile clinics at entry points along the Ethiopian border to provide immediate medical care."
As well as support in the camps, in 2017 MSF started a partnership with Gambella General Hospital in the regional capital, the only health facility in the region that can perform surgical operations. There are over 800,000 people in its catchment area, including both refugees and local communities. Overall admissions have increased significantly as word has spread of its enhanced services.
Saskia Spoor an MSF doctor working in Kule health centre for the past nine months is seen attending a patient during rounds on 11 Nov 2017. The child has been admitted to the malnourished ward in Kule Refugee centre.
"The hospital has seen an increase in admissions to the departments MSF is supporting. For example, the number of admissions in maternity has almost doubled in only a few months, as the capacity of the hospital has really improved," says Dr César Pérez Herrero, MSF project medical referent in the hospital.
ER, Maternity and Surgery
"Since June 2017, the hospital has helped deliver over 1,900 babies. Having a surgery service on hand has ensured that emergency procedures, like C-sections, can be undertaken quickly and safely," adds Pérez Herrero.
The emphasis of MSF surgical work has been on emergency interventions, and the biggest category was violent and non-violent injuries. Over 1,500 surgical cases were performed last year.
Even with MSF involvement, the surgical department is constantly overwhelmed and needs additional support. With the situation in South Sudan worsening, a new influx of refugees and war-wounded can be expected at any time.
MSF's presence in Gambella will continue to be necessary as long as the war rages across the border. MSF remains committed to improving of the quality of care for patients, who have endured so many challenges.

Grad Slovenj Gradec redkeje  Grad nad Starim trgom pri Slovenj Gradcu (nemško Windishgratz, Windesgrez ) je nekoč stal na mestu sedanje župnijske cerkve sv. Pankracija nad naseljem Stari trg pri Slovenj Gradcu.

Zgodovina
Grad Slovenj Gradec se posredno prvič omenja leta 1091 z omembo njegovega lastnika grofa Weriatna de Greza. Zato ga štejemo med najstarejše bivalne utrdbe na Slovenskem. Neposredno pa je v virih izpričan leta 1214 kot "castrum Windesgrez". Po letu 1130 je bil grad v lasti grofov Spanheimskih, nato od leta 1147 Traunganci, od 1192 grofje Andeško - Meranski. Domnevno je na grad prišel umret Henrik IV. Andeški, ki naj bi bil tu tudi pokopan. Nekdanja grajska dvorana je bila preurejena v grajsko kapelo, ki so jo okoli leta 1240 spremenili v cerkev posvečeno sv. Pankraciju. Po izumrtju Andeških je grad in gospostvo prešlo z dedovanjem na Oglejske patriarhe. Cerkev je dal zgraditi oglejski patriarh Bertold Andeš-Meranski. Leta 1302 je bil lastnik gradu oglejski patriarh Ottobono de Razzi. Grad z gospostvom je nato po letu 1425 prešel na Habsburške deželne kneze. Ne glede na navedene lastnike pa so na gradu gospodarili kastelani, ki so od leta 1214 bili vitezi Diengeni iz Zapric v Kamniku. Ti so se odselili v Gradec in tam zasnovali poznejšo mogočno rodbino Windishgratzov. Ob turških vpadih v drugi polovici 15. stoletja so grad leta 1473 oplenili Turki. Grad so potem leta 1488 razdejali Ogri pod vodstvom Jakoba Szekelyja.
Po ogrskem zavzetju je stara trdnjava počasi propadla in nanjo danes spominja le še obzidje, na mestu nekdanjega utrjenega stolpa "bergfrida" so postavili zvonik, ki je ločen od cerkve.

Uncommon Knowledge: How Broad is the Side of a Barn?
What's the latest discovery in particle physics? The fact that physicists actually have a whimsical sense of humor. For one thing, the vocabulary of this esoteric field includes the quirky term "barn." It's a minuscule unit of measurement based on the cross-sectional area of a uranium nucleus and describes the tiny target for colliding nuclear particles. But why "barn" for something so…much smaller than a barn? It's derived from the old saying that someone "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn," riffing on the difficulty of shooting charged particles at the world's smallest bullseye. Bonus fact: there are two minor measurement terms related to "barn" which follow the farm building metaphor—an "outhouse," and a "shed." Could be "chicken coop" was already taken by the guys over in nanotechnology.

And' in the heart of Parioli, Aldo Spinelli begins in the post-war period the activities of the cobbler's beloved in the district for his kindness and his skill.
With the help of his sons, Roberto and Cinzia, in the historic location of Piazza Santiago de Chile, is open the first store of Footwear, Spinelli and woman, man and child.
Roberto is responsible in first person of the family's business, combined in a the first time also with university studies, the goal is to become a point of reference, and history in the world of footwear, romano and serve a prestigious clientele that from the Parioli area will expand up to the Saudi Royal Family. The collaborations with leading fashion designers in the roman, on completion of the final affirmation of the brand has now become a symbol of elegance and tradition.
With the opening in 1986 of the point of sale (Eur), directed by Cinzia Spinelli and the transfer in 1994 to its current location in Viale Parioli, it reinforces the importance and history of Spinelli in Rome that even begins to look at the international market, with the opening of a point sale in the United States, and the development of new collections of shoes and set of luggage for important clients of the royal family of Saudi Arabia and other important families of the other states of the arabian peninsula.
The creative tradition of the family, continues today with the works of Alessio Spinelli, young and emerging shoe designer, whose unique works are appreciated for their elegance and originality.


The Civil War barely affected California, which had been a state for just a handful of years and was separated from the conflict's many battlefields by thousands of miles.
That means any live Civil War re-creation here brings to life a major historical event that's a routine part of tourism and local lore for dozens of states to our east but is, for us, out of the ordinary.
So Maverick Theater's upcoming staging of "The Killer Angels: Soldiers of Gettysburg" will literally bring the Civil War right to Orange County, many of whose residents have only read about the war or seen it depicted in TV and cinematic movies or documentaries but not visited its battlefields firsthand.
In fact, creating a new live stage version of one of the war's crucial battles was first and foremost in the mind of Brian Newell, the Fullerton theater's founder, when he visited Gettysburg National Military Park last summer during a vacation with his family.
A park ranger giving a tour of the location of the Battle of Little Round Top cited "The Killer Angels," a 1974 historical novel by Michael Shaara that won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
The ranger's description of the novel intrigued Newell – notably, how it created a hero out of Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a college professor from Maine who for three days in July 1863 commanded 380 Union soldiers at Little Round Top and held off a seemingly overwhelming force of nearly 2,000 Confederate soldiers.
The producer, director and designer's next step was to obtain the rights to adapt the novel for the stage. Newell learned that the book's rights passed to Shaara's son Jeff following the author's death in 1988, so he wrote a letter asking permission.
Newell says that upon receiving his letter, Jeff Shaara phoned him to say he found the idea of a live play intriguing. Newell said he had only to outline his vision and concepts for creating a dramatic historical play from the novel for the adaptation rights to be granted.
His goal in staging "The Killer Angels" is "to bring the novel to life with performers in an intimate staging that focuses on the character-driven story" – a tale told from the perspective of "various protagonists" such as Chamberlain and generals James Longstreet, John Buford, Lewis Armistead, George Pickett and Robert E. Lee.
Newell's new stage version gets its world premiere on Friday, May 5, with a total of 20 performances through June 24. After spending eight months creating the script, Newell is also directing it, having cast 13 actors to fill the play's 25 roles. He's also principal designer of the sets, costumes, lighting and sound effects.


The Messiah will overthrow the proud and exalt the humble.
Most of us have never thought of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as a Prophetess. There are two mistakes that the Christian church makes regarding Mary. First, they raise her to a position that the Lord never intended. Second, they ignore her altogether and do not give her a proper place as a wonderful example of a humble and submissive servant of God.
In Mary's "Magnificant," she exalts the name of the Lord, her Son, and lifts His name above hers and all other names. Fourteen times, Mary exalts the Lord by the personal pronouns "He and His" while speaking of her own soul as Magnifying the Lord.
In saying this, she describes the fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy in chapter 21:26-27, where the Messiah is said to overthrow the proud and exalt the humble.
There is one temperament that the Lord hates above all others—Pride. This scourge of human and angelic character—pride, was the cause of both Lucifer and Adam's fall. Pride has been the source of all man's problems since Adam and continues to be the greatest plague of the human heart, to the present day. Pride prevents people from seeing their need for God and the absolute necessity of humility, in sincere repentance before God, in order to receive His forgiveness and Salvation.
There are six things that the Lord hates; first on the list is pride.
Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6 describes the seventh point of human behavior which the Lord hates and is described by Him an abomination—those who gossip and cause divisions in the body of Christ, His church.
We should remember these two "hated" behaviors of God—pride and gossip, the next time we are tempted to speak anything negative about another person. The word of God defines negative comments that are spoken about a person without them being present, as "tale bearing" or "gossip." All of us are certainly guilty of saying negative things about other people. For most of us, gossip is only a part-time job; but for a few, it is their life's work—destroying the reputations of others by the negative comments they make. We should understand that when we commit this grievous sin, the Lord will visit us with the same desolation of soul that we have caused others. When we ruined the good reputation of people by spreading rumors and negative talk about them, we can be certain that the Lord will humble us.
Pride is an area of our personality that can only be changed by us. Pride will prevent us from enjoying rich and satisfying relationships with other people and impede us from receiving all that the Lord has intended for our life. Sometimes, our pride prevents us from asking for help. Other times, it causes us to force our help or advice on people who are overwhelmed by our actions or words.
The largest obstacle for all human beings in obtaining forgiveness from God, the lifting of overwhelming guilt, and the obtainment of eternal life—is human pride.
Every person who has been born on the earth could go to heaven and live with the Lord forever, if they would only humble themselves and come to God through Jesus Christ. Humility is all that is required of the Gospel to permit any one of us to be saved. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world—every one of our offenses against God are already paid in full. All that is required for heaven is that each individual person would come to God in sincere sorrow for their sins and a willingness to turn from them. Once genuine repentance occurs, a person may ask God for the forgiveness of their sins. When this takes place, the Lord will forgive all the wrongs that have been done and grant eternal life as the gift of God. Simple faith in Jesus atoning work on the cross, makes eternal life a reality for any person who places all their trust in Him as their Savior.
1 John 2:2 And Jesus Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
Luke 5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
1 Corinthians 15:1-2 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
There are certainly many other articles of faith that people might attempt to add to the above four steps; but in the end, these are really the only four that are required by the Lord to be saved.
There were actually two thieves that were also condemned to die by crucifixion along with Jesus. They are placed on either side of the Lord. At first, it seems that both condemned men ridicule Jesus for also being crucified with them. After one of these men witnesses the grace and the love with which Jesus endures His suffering—praying for those who placed Him on the Cross—this dying criminal has a change of heart. He cries out to Jesus: "Lord, remember me when you come into Your kingdom." A subtle statement of salvation in the final moments of life, from a man doomed to die. Though his confession is short and subtle, it is sufficient to move Jesus to pronounce him—forgiven and worthy of eternal life.
When Jesus heard his sincere heart of repentance and a desire to be saved, He pronounced that very day, at that moment, this repentant thief would be with Jesus in paradise. We might note that this man whom Jesus declared as saved, did not even have an opportunity to join a church, be baptized, or take communion, yet Jesus saved him anyway.
As simple as these four steps might appear, they can be the most difficult steps that a person will ever attempt in his life. A willingness to change and a little movement is all that stands in the way of any person being able to have all his sins forgiven and to obtain eternal life in heaven.
The greatest obstacle to these four steps listed above: repentance, belief, confession, and to live for Jesus—is pride. A hard heart, bitterness, an unwillingness to humble one's self, anger at God, resentment towards another, unwillingness to forgive, the loss of a loved one—all of these can make it nearly impossible for any person to be saved. Why? Under conditions of hurt, anger, or pride, many people find it extremely difficult to humble themselves and come to God in deep sorrow for their sins.
In this present moment, while we are still alive, we have a little time left to humble ourselves and come to God through the sacrifice made by Jesus for our sins. When we draw our last breath and our body dies, it will be too late to change our mind. The decision for where we will spend eternity is being made by each one of us every day that we live. If, by the end of our life, we have not received Jesus as our Savior, it will be too late after death to change our mind. It is appointed by God that each one of us have only one life to live in order to make a decision, either for, or against Jesus; and then after death, we will be judged based on that decision.
If we have already received Jesus, then our place in heaven is assured. Many people incorrectly assume that because they have not made a decision—either for or against Jesus, they have yet to determine their eternal destiny. This assumption is false. Jesus did not give us the option of indecision. We are either for Him or against Him. No decision is already a decision against Him.
Luke 11:23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
For a majority of people, pride, laziness, or fear, hinders their important decision to receive and follow Jesus. A few individuals are so content in their present life that they feel no need for change. It is not until the final moments of their days on earth that many people realized the emptiness of their former earthly pursuits. After ignoring or rejecting God for a majority of their life, very few people can find repentance and a desire to call on the name of Jesus for their salvation.
This is the reason that the New Testament continually encourages us to make today the day of our salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says: …Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
James 4:14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Matthew 21:44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.
We can fall on Jesus now in repentance and this experience will break our pride and unbelief, this is certain. However, if we wait until our life is over and we find ourselves before the throne of God without, Jesus sacrifice to cover our sins, He will crush us to powder.
Philippians Chapter 2 describes the two choices before all human beings. While alive, we can willingly bow our knee to the Lord. After we are dead, or after the Lord returns to earth, we will be forced to bow our knee to Him.
Philippians 2:10-11 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
It is to this end that the prophet Ezekiel writes. The Messiah will break the pride of all those who stubbornly refuse to submit to His righteous authority. He will rule the nations with a rod of iron.
Revelation 19:15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
Clearly, this is the language Ezekiel speaks of—which describes the cessation of all opposition to Jesus' future rule. There will be no right of appeal, no vote or opportunity for redress in the Messiah's kingdom. Why would there be, since everything that He does will always be right, fair, and just? To oppose the rule of the Messiah would be to place one's self on the side of wrong or injustice. The reason that the rule of the Messiah will be absolute and without appeal or opposition is that there will be no unrighteousness in any of His judgments. It is easy to recognize just decisions when they are carried out correctly. It is not hard to submit to someone who is always good, kind, merciful, full of compassion, and absolute in perfect justice. Of such will be the wonderful kingdom of the Messiah when He returns to earth to establish and rule over His glorious dominion, forever.


Important: Projects generated after 2019 do not use the Integration Manager because it has been replaced with our Commerce Integrations technology.
For anyone working on projects that were generated before 2019, we've left the Integration Manager documentation here in case you still need to refer to it.
Complete the Quick Start guide.
Read the Integration Manager Overview.
If there has already been some custom modifications in master.tag of your project, then before running this command, please remove following code from the buildcallbacks.xml file in mobifystorefrontaddon extension and run "ant all" from command prompt.
Removing the above xml code will prevent your master tag being overwritten, you need to manually add Mobify tag to your master.tag. Add the following code after tag in your custom master.tag file.
Run ant clean all in your command prompt. There should not be any build errors.
After starting the server, go to HAC and under platform > update, please select the following options and click on update. Executing this will help in reflecting the changes in backoffice.
MobifyTagConfiguration : Used to add/modify Mobify tag script which will be visible at all pages.
The client allows the connector to communicate with Hybris using OCC API.
Create a new OAUTH client. Note its client ID and client secret. It is need to configure the connector.
You can either configure the tokens in the HAC or the backoffice.
Once the OAuth client is created, refresh the page and make sure the disabled flag of the client is set to false.
Configuring the connector tells it how to talk to your Hybris site.
In the Web SDK, the connector is configured and registered with the Integration Manager in web/app/init-hybris-connector.js. Update it with your Hybris configurations.
Your PWA should now be integrated with Hybris.
To verify, load the PWA and confirm it gets data from Hybris.
Start the development server by running npm start in the web folder.
Open a web browser and activate mobile emulation.
Copy Preview URL from your console and open it in your web browser.
Ensure the Site URL is set to your Hybris site's homepage over HTTPS.
Check that you're running the command from inside the /web folder of your project.
Check that your packages are up to date by running npm install from the /web folder of your project.
After previewing, the PWA doesn't load!
Open Dev Tools and confirm requests to Hybris are succeeding.
We use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication with Hybris OCC API. The details of how JWT authentication works in Hybris are documented in this document.
The Connector for Hybris automatically manages requesting a JWT token when a sessions starts and then submits and renews the token as needed.
There are a number of utility functions that you may find useful if you need to extend the Connector for Hybris. They simplify interacting with Hybris OCC APIs by taking care of things like authentication tokens (JWT) and cart management automatically.
If you are extending the Connector for Hybris we strongly recommend using these functions instead of implementing similar functionality from scratch.
The functions are organized into a set of broad categories below.
Retrieves the auth token from browser storage.
You almost never need to use this function directly because the Request Functions manage the authorization token automatically.
Stores the auth token to browser storage. This function stores the auth token using the best available method (currently it tries session storage first and falls back to using a cookie).
Deletes the auth token from browser storage.
Returns true if the given authToken represents a logged in user, false otherwise.
Executes an API request to the specified path and returns Promise that resolves with the server's results. The resolved object is the Response object returned by the fetch API and is documented here.
Note that this method only takes a path instead of a full URL because the connector manages building the full URL based on the configured Base Site ID.
Exactly the same as makeApiRequest but explicitly doesn't set any authorization headers. This is useful if you need to make an API call outside of the current session/user.
Deletes the currently-saved cart ID from browser storage.
Fetches cart data from Hybris OCC API for the current cart. If there is no existing cart, it will create a new cart.
Parse and store the cart data to the Redux store.
This is a combination of fetchCart and handleCartData, it fetchs the cart from Hybris OCC API and processes the provided cart data and dispatches it to the Redux store. The resolved value is the cart data.
HAC - Hybris Administration Console, offers functionality for administration, monitoring, and configuration of SAP Hybris Commerce.

Radvány (szlovákul Radvaň) Besztercebánya településrésze Szlovákiában, a Besztercebányai kerület Besztercebányai járásában. Neve a régi magyar rogyvány (= mocsaras hely) főnévből ered.

Fekvése
Besztercebánya központjától 1 km-re délre, a Garam jobb oldalán fekszik. Egybeépült a szomszédos Garamkirályfalvával.

Története
A település a 13. század közepén keletkezett akkor, amikor az addig királyi tulajdonban levő területet a Radvánszky család ősei: Radun és fiai kapták adományként, IV. László magyar királytól. Írott forrásban 1263-ban említik először, mint ahol királyi halászok dolgoznak, a Garam vizében halászva. A településnek 1287-ben már állott temploma, amit a 14. majd a 15. században átalakítottak. 1517-ben Mária-kápolnát építettek hozzá, amelyben a Fájdalmas Szűzanya kegyszobrát helyezték el. Ehhez kapcsolódóan alakult ki a radványi vásár, ugyanis a kápolna híres zarándokhellyé vált. 1655-től kezdve I. Lipót király rendeletével engedélyezte minden év szeptember 8-án a vásártartást. 1687-ben már kastély volt itt, amelyet valószínűleg a mai helyén építtetett 1600 körül a Radvánszky család. Kézműves céhei 1633-tól alakultak. Lakói mezőgazdasággal és kézművességgel, valamint puskaporgyártással foglalkoztak. 1744-ben a kápolna kegyszobrát az új főoltárra helyezték, és már ekkor kedvelt kegyhelynek számított.

A 18. század végén Vályi András így ír róla: "RADVÁNY. Tót Mezőváros Zólyom Vármegyében, földes Ura Radvánszky Uraság, a' kinek két kastéllyával ékeskedik; a' felsőbb épűlet felett ez olvastatik: CeLsa CaDVnt VltIIs, CresCVnt VIrtVte teneLLa tVrrIs LaXa IaCet, ponDere pressa sVo. Valamint a' kastély díszes, úgy könyvtárja, és pénz gyűjteménnye is jeles. Lakosai katolikusok, és másfélék is, fekszik Garam vize mellett, Besztertze Bányától nem meszsze, lakosai számosan mesteremberek, határja olly minéműségű, mint Lukaviczáé, javai szépek, és külömbfélék, első osztálybéli."

1828-ban 168 házában 1218 lakos élt.

Fényes Elek 1851-ben kiadott geográfiai szótárában így ír a településről: "Radvány, tót m.-város, Zólyom vmegyében, rónaságon, Beszterczebánya tőszomszédságában, a Garan vize mellett, s Beszterczétől az Udorna vize választja el. – Terűlete nem tudatik. Urbéri telek 5, a többi irtvány; de vannak a földesuraságnak is szép majorságai. Homokos agyag földe jó mivelés mellett minden gabonanemre alkalmas. Népessége 1010 ágostai, 470 kath., kik közt 5 telkes gazda, 148 zsellér, 75 lakó, 169 mesterember, 2 kereskedő. – Van itt 8 posztósbul alakult társulatnak nevezetes posztógyára, melly 36,000 frt. alaptőkével évenkint 100,000 frt. értékü kelmét állit ki, s jobbára Pesten adja el. – Emlitett kézmüvesei közt van 16 késcsináló, 27 fésűs, 35 posztós, 12 kalapos, 2 aranymüves, és több gyufagyár. Ezek mind keresett árukat készitenek, s azokat Magyarország távol vidékeire elhordják. – Országos vásárt egyet tart, t. i. sept. 8-án, de ez igen hires kirakóvásár, s több napokig tart, de barom- és hetivásárai nincsenek. Nevezetes épületek: a földesurak 3 kastélya, a kath. és evang. anyatemplomok, és egy Fekete-curia nevű vendégfogadó. Birja a várost a Radvánszky csal."

A trianoni diktátumig Zólyom vármegye Besztercebányai járásához tartozott.

Radvány és Garamkirályfalva 1964-ben egyesült Radvaň-Kráľová (Radvány-Királyfalva) néven, majd az egyesült települést 1966-ban csatolták Besztercebányához. Mint településrész, három képviselőt ad a városi tanács részére.

Népessége
1910-ben 1625, többségben szlovák lakosa volt, jelentős magyar kisebbséggel. Jelenleg kb. 6000 lakosa van, a foncsordai lakótelep leválása óta.

Nevezetességei
 A 13. századi kegytemplom. A kegyszobor a késő középkori szobrászat remeke. Falfestményeit Hanula József készítette 1908-ban.
 Evangélikus templom, melyet 1785-ben építettek.
 A Radvánszky-kastély, mely 1600 körül épült, és mely jelenleg felújítás alatt áll.
 A Bárczy-kastély, egykoron Dr. Bárczy Emil volt az utolsó lakója, régóta üresen áll, gyakorlatilag csak romok maradtak belőle.
 A Tihányi-kastély, eredetileg egy földszintes reneszánsz épület, melyet klasszicista stílusban építettek újjá, és jelenleg a Közép-szlovákiai Múzeum természettörténeti kiállítása található benne. Tőle nem messze találhatók Mátyás király egykori erődítményének maradványai, a mai Tesco áruház területén.
 Az evangélikus templom közelében 2014-ben egy miniatűr síliftet létesítettek, egyedülálló módon a panelházak tövében.
 A település határában találhatóak az ún. malakóperesényi kövek, mely természetvédelmi terület, illetve itt ér véget az Urpín-tanösvény is.

Neves személyek
 Itt született 1701-ben Radvánszky László naplóíró, genealógus, teológus, országgyűlési követ.
 Itt született 1725-ben Laho Ferenc ágostai evangélikus lelkész.
