Q: def subplot(plt, (Y, X), (sz_y, sz_x) = (10, 10)): throws invalid syntax in Python 3 I am trying to run a code that was originally written for Python 2 for Python 3.
The code block is:
def draw_bbox(plt, ax, rois, fill=False, linewidth=2, edgecolor=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], **kwargs):
    for i in range(rois.shape[0]):
        roi = rois[i,:].astype(np.int)
        ax.add_patch(plt.Rectangle((roi[0], roi[1]),
            roi[2] - roi[0], roi[3] - roi[1],
            fill=False, linewidth=linewidth, edgecolor=edgecolor, **kwargs))

def subplot(plt, (Y, X), (sz_y, sz_x) = (10, 10)):
    plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (X*sz_x, Y*sz_y)
    fig, axes = plt.subplots(Y, X)
    return fig, axes

and the error I receive is:
 File "<ipython-input-7-9e2eb5f0d3ab>", line 8
    def subplot(plt, (Y, X), (sz_y, sz_x) = (10, 10)):
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How can I fix this? The code is from this repo: https://github.com/s-gupta/v-coco/blob/master/V-COCO.ipynb

A: Here's how you can rewrite this function:
def subplot(plt, yx, sz = (10, 10)):
    (Y, X) = yx
    (sz_y, sz_x) = sz
    plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (X*sz_x, Y*sz_y)
    fig, axes = plt.subplots(Y, X)
    return fig, axes

A: You can't put a set as a parameter in the parameter of a user-defined function. You can probably split X and Y into two different parameters like:
def subplot(plt, Y, X, (sz_y, sz_x) = (10, 10)):

or you can specify a tuple like in python3
def subplot(plt, xy: set, (sz_y, sz_x) = (10, 10)):

Sue Bird to undergo removal of loose body in left knee, could miss 2019 WNBA season
The Seattle Storm released a statement confirming a report that Bird needs surgery
By Brendan Vogt@Bvogt422 May 21, 2019, 2:56pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: Sue Bird to undergo removal of loose body in left knee, could miss 2019 WNBA season
The Seattle Storm released a statement on Sue Bird Tuesday afternoon, confirming that the 11-time WNBA All-Star and front office associate for the Denver Nuggets will undergo a procedure on her left knee to remove a loose body.
Fansided's High Post Hoops reported the injury before the statement, which they included excerpts of in the story below.
Our @ariivory has learned that Sue Bird will miss much, if not the entire 2019 season with a knee injury. Details here: #WNBA https://t.co/6v0L7VPO2C
— High Post Hoops (@HighPostHoops) May 21, 2019
UPDATE [1:08 PM EST] The Storm, in a press release, said that Bird will undergo surgery to remove a loose body in her left knee, and will be out indefinitely.
"The most important thing to us is that Sue is healthy and strong," Storm CEO and GM Alisha Valvanis said in the release. "Based on her feedback and evaluation from her longtime surgeon and our medical team, it was determined the best course of action was a scope. We have confidence this will support Sue's full recovery and we look forward to her return to the court."
The team also announced that Bird will do her rehabbing in Seattle.
"I'm super disappointed to have to miss time with the team this season," Bird said in the release. "There's nothing I want more than to be on court with my teammates defending our title. I've been down this road before, so now I just have to focus on getting better so I can continue to represent the Storm, the city of Seattle and the 'Storm Crazies' in the future."
Bird had just completed her first season of what was essentially an apprenticeship with the Nuggets' front office, but always intended on coming back to compete in the WNBA this season. Bird is out indefinitely, per High Post Hoops.

Adam Levine Takes On Carpool Karaoke and Causes a Traffic Hazard
by Lauren Piester | Thu., May. 24, 2018 11:42 PM
She will be loved indeed.
Adam Levine finally joined James Corden for The Late Late Show's Carpool Karaoke, and together they proved they're just a couple really cool dads.
The Maroon 5 frontman broke out some of the band's biggest hits, like "Moves Like Jagger," "Sugar," "This Love," "She Will Be Loved," and the more recent "Wait."
The duo even got pulled over by a cop, but only so the cop could ask for a song and pass on a warning about not causing traffic hazards.
Behind the Scenes of Carpool Karaoke
Levine and Corden then headed to a race track where Levine drove extremely fast while Corden quizzed him on general knowledge questions like "when is your wife's birthday?" and "What school does Harry Potter attend?"
Turns out Levine is not quite a Harry Potter fan, but he does at least know that wife Behati Prinsloo's birthday is May 16, so that's good!
The Late Late Show airs at 12:37 a.m. weeknights on CBS.

Q: ng-if is not display data in AngularJS I have images and videos dynamically but I want to display images or videos at a time.
I want to that When i click on images id then it will show images and when i click on video Id then it will show video.
html code:

{{img.id}}

                <video ng-if="img.type == 'video'" type="video"width="100%" ng-click="video()" id="video" controls="controls" ng-show="isActive($index)">
                    <source src="./assets/vdo/{{img.oe_images}}" type="video"type="video/mp4">
                </video>

                    ❮
                    ❯

                        <video ng-if="img.type == 'video'" type="video" controls="controls" src="./assets/vdo/{{img.oe_images}}" type="video/mp4" ng-show="isActive($index)"style="width:100%"></video>

Here i am using ng-if to display images or Video at a time but after using ng-if no data diplay. Please tell what is my mistake.
thank you in advance

A: Try to wrap <video>s into
 containers and apply ng-show instead of ng-if to containers not <video>s:

     <video id='video1'/>

     <video id='video2'/>

A: Check this topic. Look the first answer about trustAsResourceUrl.
Perhaps, it will resolve your issue.
app.filter("trustUrl", ['$sce', function ($sce) {
    return function (recordingUrl) {
        return $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(recordingUrl);
    };
}]);

US foreign policy interests face an unparalleled set of political, economic, strategic, and cultural challenges. Since at least 2001, America's "smart power" equation has been out of balance. Increasingly, under-investment in diplomacy and development has led to the US military taking on responsibilities traditionally met by diplomats and development experts. That under-investment has left the US Foreign Service overstretched and under prepared.
This report puts into stark relief the urgent need to prepare and sustain a corps of American diplomatic professionals that is intellectually and operationally ready to lead in the new environment. The core of the study consists of eight succinct, specific recommendations. They focus on the need to redress America's chronic under-investment in diplomacy, the need to strengthen and expand the State Department's professional development process, and – perhaps most crucial – the requirement that as necessary resources are phased in, every U.S. Foreign Service Officer must complete a year of advanced study relevant to his or her career track as a condition for promotion to senior diplomatic ranks.
A previous study by the Academy and Stimson Center, A Foreign Affairs Budget for the Future: Fixing the Crisis in Diplomatic Readiness (2008), documented the numbers of personnel needed by State and USAID. Filling that need remains half-done and progress must be sustained.
Project Organizers
This project was ably led by Ambassador (ret.) Robert M. Beecroft, Academy Chairman Ambassador (ret.) Thomas R. Pickering, Academy President Ambassador (ret.) Ronald E. Neumann, President and CEO of Stimson Center Ellen Laipson, and Red Team Leader Ambassador (ret.) Edward Rowell. Mr. Jeremy Curtin led the drafting/Stimson team with assistance from Mr. Jonathan Larkin, Mr. Harry Kopp, Ms. Laura Hall, Ms. Stephanie Kinney, and Ms. Elizabeth Burrell.
The Advisory Group of the "Forging a 21st Century Diplomatic Service for the United States through Professional Education and Training" Project was created to provide conceptual guidance to the drafting of the report, to set the tone and objectives of the study, and draw from the considerable experience of the group's members to guide the project and research team at the Henry L. Stimson Center.
See a list of Advisory Group Members.
The Red Team of the "Forging a 21st Century Diplomatic Service for the United States through Professional Education and Training" Project was created to critique the assumptions underlying the methodology of the report, and thereby strengthen the study through a rigorous process of evaluation and feedback.
See a list of Red Team participants.
The Academy would like to thank the American Foreign Service Association, the Delavan Foundation and the Una Chapman Cox Foundation, whose contributions made this project possible.

Cheddar Bacon Cornbread Waffles Recipe – savory take on waffles, filled with crispy bacon, freshly grated cheddar cheese, sweet corn and nicely seasoned with Ranch mix! So good as lunch and dinner too!
I have to say, my favorite savory recipes are the ones my Hubby and I come up with together. Our whole cheesy bread series came to life that way. Same with these waffles. We started with an idea for waffles that taste like cornbread. Then we added corn and cheddar and because we are talking breakfast – there has to be bacon involved. 😀 These waffles are filled with crispy bacon, freshly grated cheddar cheese, sweet corn and nicely seasoned with Ranch mix. Oh, and they taste like cornbread! Talk about delicious!
Breakfast waffles won't be boring anymore with this recipe! The combination of salty bacon, sweet corn, Ranch seasoning and cheddar cheese that will crisp up on the edges is one of our favorites! And if you are like us and love to make breakfast for dinner once a week – this is even more perfect! Serve with fried egg on top and a drizzle of garlic Parmesan butter. Yes, please!
I tweaked my favorite fluffy pancake recipe that I use for waffles as well. It's my tried and true recipe with homemade buttermilk. If you have buttermilk on hand – use it in this recipe. But if you are like me and never buy it – make it yourself! It's so easy. All you need to do is combine whole milk or half and half (I highly recommend the later one as it makes the best homemade buttermilk in my opinion) with apple cider vinegar. You can use white vinegar but I always use ACV as it is sweeter and I keep white vinegar for cleaning.
As in my skillet conrbread and my perfect cornbread muffins, I am using equal parts of flour and yellow cornmeal. I find it to give the final result the best texture.
Cheddar Bacon Cornbread Waffles Recipe - savory take on waffles, filled with cheddar, bacon, Ranch seasoning and corn! So good as lunch and dinner too! Serve with garlic Parmesan butter and fried egg.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, paprika, Ranch seasoning and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl or a measuring cup, combine half and half and vinegar. Stir few times and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. In the meantime, in a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and melted butter. Add half and half and vinegar mixture and stir together.
Add wet ingredients, corn, chopped bacon, cheese and green onions to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula. Do not overmix! The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat waffle iron. I used a Belgian waffle maker and used 3 scoops of batter with a regular size ice cream scoop per waffle. If you are using a regular waffle maker, start with 2 scoops of batter.
Cook waffles. Remove onto a plate and serve immediately or place on baking sheet and keep warm in a warm oven, until serving.
Serve drizzled with garlic Parmesan butter, if desired. Simply mix 4 Tablespoons melted salted butter, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
Your description mentions ranch seasoning mix, but I don't see it included in the ingredients list or the directions. ??
Making these tonight for our weekly family dinner. Really looking forward to it.
These are perfect for a weekend brunch! These look delicious!
I'm not a huge fan of sweet breakfasts, so these savory waffles look perfect to me –love the flavors here!
I recently had a savory waffle and thought they were fantastic. I love your version with bacon!
I think these are probably the most amazing waffles I've ever seen! They're loaded with so much flavor. Wish I had a waffle iron!
These waffles sound like the perfect brunch recipe!
Garlic parmesan butter? omg I literally love every single thing about this!
I wish I could grab them through the screen! They look divine!
Savory waffles are the best! These would be perfect for mini sandwiches!

Q: Is Doctor Fate's belt a magical item like the Helm of Nabu or the Cloak of Destiny? I know that the main items associated with the Dr. Fate are the Helm of Nabu, the Cloak of Destiny and the Amulet of Anubis. In many representations of Dr. Fate he has a peculiar belt. Is this a magical item too? Are there other elements of his outfit with magical properties?
I understand that gloves for example might be not. Although in Kingdom Come Alex Ross uses them, probably is just to point where his hands are and to show he is casting spells. Are there other items, such as a staff, that are magical but he won't carry or wear on a regular basis (beyond all that equipment that he might have on his Tower of Fate)?

A: The cincture of Doctor Fate seen in most (but not all of his iterations) does not possess any special abilities. Nor does Doctor Fate utilize any of the more common devices of sorcerers, enchanters or magicians such as staves or wands. The core of Fate's vast magical and superhuman ability is derived from the Helmet of Nabu.

The only time any of the good Doctor's normal equipment was different from his standard lineup of Helmet of Fate (housing the spirit of Nabu), Cloak of Destiny and Amulet of Anubis was when Nabu was removed from the helmet and it became a half-helm allowing Doctor Fate's lower jaw to be seen. He would also not use his cape as often and would be seen utilizing superhuman strength like a more traditional superhero.

There was a brief time when the helm, cloak and amulet were transformed into a dagger, a bandage and an ankh and worn by Jared Stevens known as Fate.

In one of his last incarnations, the descendant of the original Doctor Fate, Kent V. Nelson, the amulet is now part of his belt but otherwise he is still using the same amulet, cape and helmet ensemble.

Next iPhone to include Force Touch and pink color option
by Jeff Byrnes
It is looking more and more likely that Apple will bring its Force Touch technology to the next generation of the iPhone, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Force Touch was first introduced in the Apple Watch last September and has also found its way into the latest model of the MacBook, announced during Monday's Spring Forward event.
Force Touch is a pressure-sensitive input method that allows for a deeper, longer press to be interpreted as a secondary type of input instead of a standard one. This could open up a wealth of options for a completely touch-based smartphone.
On the new MacBook and the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, the Force Touch pad acts and feels like a normal Mac trackpad. It has the satisfying click when pressed, but the motion is actually limited to less than one nanometer of travel. If you press once for a normal click, you can then press a second, deeper time after the first to get to a secondary function or perform some other action, all without having to right-click or open a menu.
Force Touch would open up all sorts of new controls for games, for instance, and would allow for a more sophisticated input response in something like GarageBand. For example, a light and a hard press could be used to make two different types of sounds created by a virtual keyboard.
The same WSJ report also says that a new color option, pink, could be introduced. The pink color is currently in testing, and it may or may not end up making it to the final product.
A new report says the 'iPhone 6s' will sport 2GB of RAM and possibly an Apple SIM
After the Apple Watch, attention to shift towards the 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6s Plus'

It Hasn't Been This Cheap for U.S. Shale to Refinance in Seven Years
March 24, 2021 EnergyNow Media
(Bloomberg) It hasn't been this cheap for shale explorers to raise money on the high-yield bond market since oil was at $100 a barrel in 2014, so they're jumping on the opportunity to refinance debt at lower rates.Drillers have already sold $11 billion in new junk-rated energy debt through the first 10 weeks of the year, and this quarter is shaping up to be the busiest in at least half a decade, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.After the pandemic brought shale's debt-fueled boom to an abrupt halt last year in a historical market crash that saw oil prices go negative, many explorers got shut out from capital markets and went bankrupt. Since then, drillers have sought to refrain from embarking on another growth spurt and have pledged to focus instead on balancing their books.
But a borrowing opportunity like this is hard to resist, and while it could be used to fund an expansion, it also makes sense to replace more costly debt with lower-cost bonds. Time will tell which it will be.
"Many may not be able to resist the siren song of historically low interest rates," Spencer Cutter, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, wrote Monday in a report. "As market conditions started to improve from the shock of negative oil prices in April, companies jumped at the chance to refinance debt."
The sales continued on Monday when three more energy companies launched junk bond deals. The yield on the independent energy segment of the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Energy Index dipped below 5.3% last month, touching the lowest level since 2014.
Occidental Petroleum Corp., Apache Corp. and Continental Resources Inc. were among the largest issuers of high-yield energy debt last year, helping boost total issuances to $13 billion during the second half of last year. They're followed this year by names such as Antero Resources Corp., Comstock Resources Inc. and Hilcorp Energy Co.
Illustrating how much the interest rates have declined, Chesapeake Energy Corp. 2029 bonds that were issued last month were priced to yield 5.875%. That's roughly half the yield of the bonds the company sold in late 2019.
Such low borrowing costs could lead some producers to fund expanded drilling programs, Cutter wrote. Oil activity in the U.S. has been on the rebound since August, when drilling plunged to the lowest in more than a decade. With a total of 318 active oil rigs in the U.S., explorers are still far from the 683 they had drilling for crude late in March 2020, according to Baker Hughes data.
It's not just U.S. shale explorers that want in on the lower rates. Canadian exploration and production company Teine Energy Ltd is seeking $400 million to refinance existing debt. Water infrastructure company Solaris Midstream Holdings LLC, which operates in the Delaware and Midland basins, is also asking investors for $400 million to refinance debt and for general corporate purposes. And Oasis Midstream Partners LP, which operates in the Williston and Delaware basins, is marketing $450 million of new notes.

If you know me, or if you've read me since the beginning, you know that I'm not your average improv student. That is, I'm not a 24-year-old white guy who wears plaid shirts and drinks Robust.
For months, I've been searching for my place in this community. I've carved out a small niche here on the blog writing about how improv changes lives - especially mine. I've met lots of new friends. But I have lots to learn and a long way to go and I'm impatient to get there, wherever "there" is, probably in part because I recognize that I do not have Betty White's genes and may not have a 30- or 40-year improv career ahead of me. Yes, I came to improv way too late in life to suit me, so I want to make the most of it.
Some time ago, one of my improv idols, Jimmy Carrane, the genius behind the popular Improv Nerd podcast and blog, posted an excellent article called "When You're the Oldest One in Your Improv Class." I will not attempt to rewrite this wonderful and inspiring post, and I commend it to you. But you have to promise to read the comments, too.
I read it at a time when I was feeling especially vulnerable about my age and physical limitations. I wondered how my classmates and scene partners felt about playing with someone old enough to be their mother. But mostly, I wondered why I saw so few people with gray hair on stage.
I expect that many of you will protest. Some have. Younger players have told me that they don't think of older improvisers any differently. Some older improvisers have told me that they either 1) never thought about it, or 2) refuse to consider it. But many others know exactly what I'm talking about. I alluded to this in some blog posts, and some of those around the Dallas Comedy House (DCH) who are 40+ sought me out to lament being pegged as the dad or the grandmother in the scene; how we fear that our scene partners will feel constricted if they can't count on us to take a pratfall; how out of touch we feel when we don't know hip-hop lyrics or the names of every energy drink.
I assure you that those perceptions are not restricted to just DCH. Check out the Second City blog post by Rebecca Fons on "What to Expect When You're a 30+ Improviser."
But you know what? I may not know hip-hop culture, but I remember what it's like to squeeze a baby out then go through menopause. I know how to find a fallout shelter. I remember who Ronald Reagan's vice president was. I know that a mid-life crisis isn't about red sports cars. And, g-damnit, I can do a lot more convincing "old guy with walker" than anybody in my class.
I'm also beginning to understand that improv is not about whether I can jump off the stage or fall to the floor when shot with an imaginary bullet. It's about being authentic and vulnerable. I have 59 years of authenticity, experience, success, and failure. Maybe I have experienced more than my 24-year-old friends. So, who's got the better raw materials for making a successful improviser? The answer is it doesn't matter. We all have our strengths, and we all have our weaknesses. That's why we work in troupes and aren't doing stand-up or one-man shows. We are better together than we are apart.
My friends and I are starting to think about our improv futures. I need more coaching, and I want more stage time. There are two avenues for that. One is the Ewing team program. The other is to join or form a troupe. So, naturally, I got to thinking about my middle-aged friends at DCH who want to play like I do, and I wondered, what if we had a troupe of just older folks? Might that provide a unique and enjoyable experience for us and for an audience?
Gary [my husband] and I started quietly talking with people to discover whether there's any interest in forming a troupe of people over age 40. Everyone we spoke with wanted a piece of the action, and we kept hearing, "Did you ask [so-n-so]? He'll want in." The list grew. It seems we had struck a nerve.
In very short order, our little idea for a troupe seemed to burgeon into a full-fledged project. So this is what we're going to do. Gary and I would like to invite anyone over 40 to a planning meeting to gauge interest and discuss goals and logistics, like coaching, rehearsal, and format. The meeting will be Saturday, August 8, at 10 a.m. at Jake's on Henderson (they serve a very nice breakfast). Let me know you'll be there so that we can ensure we have space. Even if you can't make the meeting, email me at carronna@gmail.com or message me on Facebook so that I add you to our list to keep you updated.

# Require Radix Parameter (radix)

When using the `parseInt()` function it is common to omit the second argument, the radix, and let the function try to determine from the first argument what type of number it is. By default, `parseInt()` will autodetect decimal and hexadecimal (via `0x` prefix). Prior to ECMAScript 5, `parseInt()` also autodetected octal literals, which caused problems because many developers assumed a leading `0` would be ignored.

This confusion led to the suggestion that you always use the radix parameter to `parseInt()` to eliminate unintended consequences. So instead of doing this:

```js
var num = parseInt("071");      // 57
```

Do this:

```js
var num = parseInt("071", 10);  // 71
```

ECMAScript 5 changed the behavior of `parseInt()` so that it no longer autodetects octal literals and instead treats them as decimal literals. However, the differences between hexadecimal and decimal interpretation of the first parameter causes many developers to continue using the radix parameter to ensure the string is interpreted in the intended way.

## Rule Details

This rule is aimed at preventing the unintended conversion of a string to a number of a different base than intended.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
/*eslint radix: 2*/

var num = parseInt("071");     /*error Missing radix parameter.*/

var num = parseInt(someValue); /*error Missing radix parameter.*/
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
/*eslint radix: 2*/

var num = parseInt("071", 10);

var num = parseFloat(someValue);
```

## When Not To Use It

If you are certain of the first argument's format, then the second argument is unnecessary and you can safely turn this rule off.

We will soon be leaving for the 30-minute drive to Cincinnati for Thanksgiving. It will be at the house of my wife's aunt, which is where we have generally been celebrating Thanksgiving since my wife's grandparents' died. My in-laws live two doors down from my wife's aunt, and the grandparents, when they were living, lived across the street. Small town scenario in a large metropolis.
I recently finished a fantastic historical novel set in the 12th century called Lionheart, by Sharon Kay Penman. As the name implies, it is about the life of Richard I, specifically his exploits on the Third Crusade in the early 1190's.
I'm now on to a Robert McCammon novel called Mister Slaughter. Over the last year, McCammon has become my new favorite author. I just LOVE his books. Sitting down to read a McCammon book is like sitting down with an old friend. I haven't disregarded my previous favorite, Wilbur Smith, but I've read all of Smith's 35+ books now and he only publishes a new one every couple of years or so. Over 80 now, his newer books just don't have the spark of the older ones.
Work has been interesting of late. Our lead tech on 2nd shift has been out for a few weeks, so I have been given the duty of temporary lead tech (with no extra pay of course). It has been very hard - harder, I suppose, than I would have expected. In addition to handling departmental calls and crises, as well as a few administrative tasks, I also still have to do my part as a regular old x-ray tech - namely, working in the ER, doing portable exams on the inpatient floors, and running x-ray machines in the OR. So it's been pretty stressful, but I am adjusting to it now. Makes me appreciate the work our real lead techs do year 'round.
In my predictions for the presidential election this year, I correctly picked 47 of the 50 states. Additionally, every state I picked for Obama went to Obama. The only ones I missed were states where I picked Romney, but Obama ended up winning. Neither the electoral vote, nor the nationwide popular vote, was as close as I expected. However, I said at the time that given two possibilities - A large Obama victory, or any Romney victory at all - I thought it was more likely that Obama would win big than Romney would win at all. Still, I predicted a closer battle. All political biases aside, I think the Republicans have some real soul-searching to do to figure out how to appeal to Americans across generations, economic backgrounds, and ethnicities.
Time to head to Cincinnati. M just told me we were supposed to be there at 2 pm. It's 215.

Q: If no results found, display (message) Trying to display a message if no results found in the search query.
Here is a brief example of my code.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM details WHERE ID =1"

$res =& $db->query($sql);
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
    die($res->getMessage());
}

while($row = $res->fetchRow())
{
     echo 'results'
    {

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

A: DB_result has a method called numRows(), so you could check
if($res->numRows() == 0)
http://pear.php.net/package/DB/docs/latest/DB/DB_result.html#methodnumRows

Get the number of rows in a result set
Return: the number of rows. A DB_Error object on failure.

And you don't need to worry about DB_Error since it was already checked at

Il magistrato è un film del 1959 diretto da Luigi Zampa.

Trama
Il giovane magistrato Andrea Morandi è stato da poco trasferito a Genova quando gli affidano la sua prima inchiesta, relativa all'aggressione subìta nel porto da un dirigente della compagnia dei lavoratori portuali, ricoverato in gravi condizioni in ospedale.
Morandi, per il suo soggiorno in città, prende alloggio presso la famiglia Bonelli, composta dal padre, Luigi, dalla moglie Emilia e dai due figli Luciano e Carla. Tale sistemazione contribuisce alle condizioni economiche non certo floride della famiglia, che sono frutto di tensioni tra i due coniugi, dato che Emilia rimprovera a Luigi la sua scarsa ambizione negli affari. Come se non bastasse, Luigi viene licenziato dalla società assicuratrice per cui lavora.

L'inchiesta sulla aggressione fa emergere la responsabilità di Orlando, un disoccupato che non accetta di dover pagare una tangente per poter essere assunto, come invece hanno già fatto molti suoi colleghi. Egli tenta di fornire un alibi, che però cade di fronte alla testimonianza di una donna proprietaria di un bar, e così viene arrestato. Il magistrato è commosso dal racconto di Maria, la fidanzata di Orlando, sulle condizioni di estremo bisogno in cui la coppia si trova. Cerca quindi di convincere i colleghi dell'accusato ad ammettere il pagamento delle tangenti, in modo da alleggerire la posizione dell'accusato, ma gli uomini, impauriti, negano. Dopo qualche tempo l'aggredito muore e l'accusa si aggrava.

Mentre Luciano Bonelli si dedica al suo lavoro di giornalista, sua sorella, la diciassettenne Carla, viene spinta dalla madre, frustrata dalla modesta condizione economica del marito, ad accettare la corte del giovane Pierino Lucchi, rampollo di una delle più facoltose famiglie della città, con la quale spera di potersi imparentare. Ma la ragazza si invaghisce del magistrato Morandi, con cui tenta, inutilmente, degli approcci.

La famiglia Lucchi interviene per bloccare ogni contatto tra Carla ed il figlio Pierino, promettendo a Luigi Bonelli di trovargli un lavoro se convincerà la figlia a desistere. Ma l'uomo, succube delle pretese della moglie, lo rifiuta. I due giovani continuano a vedersi di nascosto, ma quando Carla chiede a Pierino di sposarla, lui si tira indietro. Nel frattempo Luciano, stanco delle tensioni famigliari, decide di andarsene e si trasferisce a Roma, per il suo lavoro di giornalista.

Delusa ed irrequieta, Carla avvia una relazione con Ugo, un affarista senza scrupoli, diventato ricco con il contrabbando. Luigi, di fronte alla situazione di povertà che è causa del disprezzo della moglie e dell'allontanamento del figlio, accetta di lavorare per Ugo, facendogli in pratica da prestanome. La promessa di soldi facili sembra rasserenare i Bonelli, tanto che Emilia chiede al magistrato di lasciare la camera, non avendo più bisogno del denaro dell'affitto.

Circa un anno dopo Luigi viene coinvolto in un'inchiesta sugli affari di Ugo e scopre la relazione tra Ugo e Carla. Rendendosi conto del fallimento della sua vita, e capendo che Ugo gli ha dato una mano solo per poter sedurre Carla, si suicida aprendo il rubinetto del gas di casa, provocando così anche la morte della moglie e della figlia.

Il giudice Morandi, sconvolto, presenta le proprie dimissioni al procuratore, che tenta di dissuaderlo. Ma egli si dimostra irremovibile, perché convinto che le leggi che lui deve applicare non sono idonee a rendere giustizia. Non se la sente di condannare del tutto Orlando e non ha saputo far nulla per evitare la drammatica fine dei Bonelli. Sarà però un incontro con Maria a fargli cambiare idea, perché la ragazza gli manifesta con grande dignità il suo amore per Orlando, nonostante egli sia in prigione. Morandi capisce che deve battersi per la giustizia e decide di approfondire l'inchiesta, senza più dimettersi.

Ambientazione
Il film è stato girato in gran parte a Genova. Nelle riprese esterne si scorgono alcuni scorci della città: all'inizio si vede il palazzo Ducale, sede in quegli anni del Tribunale. Altre scene sono state riprese in corso Aurelio Saffi, sui moli del bacino delle Grazie, in piazza Matteotti, ed alla stazione ferroviaria di Genova Piazza Principe. Altri esterni sono stati girati in Spagna, a Madrid Possiamo trovare El Madrid de los Austrias, Mercado de San Miguel, Templo de Debod, Jardines de Sabatini.

Incasso
La pellicola ha incassato 133 milioni di lire dell'epoca.

Critica
Il film ebbe un'accoglienza modesta dalla critica.
 su La Stampa del 15 ottobre 1959 G.M. scrisse "... ci sono, o ci sarebbero, almeno tre film....mancano le più vere vibrazioni, le necessarie sfumature, le benefiche incertezze, le opportune deviazioni. Tutto è inquadrato"
 Vittorio Spinazzola su Cinema Nuovo del novembre 1959 definì il film "Macchinoso nell'intreccio narrativo e piuttosto schematico nella caratterizzazione dei personaggi" -
 Meno negativo è Filippo Sacchi su "Epoca" del 25 ottobre 1959: " il suo  (di Luigi Zampa - n.d.r.) tocco umano ed intelligente comunica a questa materia cronachistica che non sarebbe di per sé mordente né originale un accento di serietà e di convinzione che lo pone al di sopra della solita produzione".

Curiosità
Nel film ci sono due frasi significative e tipiche della realtà genovese: quando il Commissario di PS dice al Magistrato che indaga sull'aggressione che "il porto è una matassa" e quando la madre di Pierino, riferendosi alle famiglie ricche, dice a Luigi che "noi qui siamo abituati a sposarci tra di noi".

The Next Billion Series: Facebook's Efforts to Connect Developing Countries
Mark Greenspan
The Next Billion is a three-part series examining the impact and opportunities created by the explosive growth of the connected world. Read the 1st and 2nd articles of the series.
In an effort to get the next billion internet users online more quickly, mobile carriers across the globe are experimenting with offering digital content and service bundles without any data fees. And according to early trials, it's working.
Facebook is leading the charge in this global initiative through its internet.org initiative, which it describes as a "global partnership between technology leaders, nonprofits, local communities and experts who are working together to bring the internet to the two thirds of the world's population that doesn't (sic!) have it". Facebook's main premise has been just because you own an internet-connected phone doesn't mean you are going to use it to access the internet; other incentives should exist for accessing the internet through your mobile device.
Enter internet.org's app designed for lower-end smartphones. It's a bundle of digital services and content that varies from country to country, but includes Facebook, Messenger, Wikipedia as well as local weather and local news services. Guy Rosen, product manager for internet.org, writes: "Over 85% of the world's population lives in areas with existing cellular coverage, yet only about 30% of the total population accesses the internet. Affordability and awareness are significant barriers to internet adoption for many and today we are introducing the Internet.org app to make the internet accessible to more people by providing a set of free basic services."
As a precursor to the launch of the internet.org app in 2013, Facebook partnered up with the Philippines' largest telecommunications company to offer its 30 million customers a free Facebook service for a three-month period. What they found is that the telecom company was able to double its mobile data user base and increase its mobile browsing along with other data revenues by 42%. With that data, Facebook has been scaling its initiative through deals with carriers in Eastern Africa.
In July 2014, Facebook partnered up with Airtel in Zambia to launch the internet.org app. The free digital services made available to Airtel mobile customers include AccuWeather, Airtel, eZeLibrary, Facebook, Facts for Life, Google Search, Go Zambia Jobs, Kokoliko, MAMA (Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action), Facebook Messenger, Wikipedia, WRAPP (Women's Rights App) and Zambia uReport. Shortly after, Facebook made a deal with Tigo in Tanzania and on October 30th, internet.org was launched there with the same digital services along with additional content from the BBC, The Citizen, Tanzania's English-language news site and the Nike Foundation's Girl Effect. In November 2014, internet.org was launched in Kenya with a similar set of services as well as Canadian success story Wattpad that over 35 million undiscovered and published writers use to share articles, stories, fan fiction and poems about anything either online or through the Wattpad app.
While Facebook's strategy seems to be successful in getting new people to access web services via their mobile devices, critics of the initiative point out that getting a billion more people hooked on checking Facebook is primarily about creating more customers for Facebook. However, convincing telecommunications companies around the world to offer a set of basic digital services and content offerings to a market of a few billion people is creating a potentially lucrative window for digital content and service creators to leverage.
Back in North America
In June, T-Mobile launched an initiative enabling subscribers to access a number of the top music streaming services (free of any data charges) through Music Freedom. T-Mobile reports that "it has been wildly popular since its launch this summer and has also become a major draw to switch to T-Mobile." T-Mobile goes on to report that in a recent survey of U.S. wireless users, 1 in 4 said that "Music Freedom alone is a key reason they've switched or would switch to the un-carrier." Also, according to Facebook, since June 2014, Facebook has averaged more than 1 billion video views every day and in just one year, the number of video posts per person has increased by 75% globally and 94% in the U.S. These numbers speak to Facebook's every increasing importance in the distribution of online video content.
Price of admission
While carriers around the world along with Facebook should be applauded for their efforts and results in connecting the next billions, is the price of admission worth it? Will inclusion in these bundled services packages be key to achieving scale in these markets? Will the next Google or Facebook be able to launch in this type of environment? Apart from the esoteric questions about the future of the internet, it's undeniable that there are multiple windows emerging for digital content and services targeting the next billion.

How to Survive the Xmas Party Season for Contact Lens Wearers!
Do – Take Spare Lenses with You. It is so easy to get carried away when you are enjoying yourself. We've all done it. Next thing you know you have missed the last bus or train and you are looking at crashing on the couch. Do make sure you have a spare pair of lenses with you or your cleaning solution.
Don't – Wash Your Lenses in Water. The problem here is bacteria. Whether it is tap water or from the shower, there is a good chance the water will contain bacteria. Get bacteria on your lenses and you could be heading for a severe eye infection.
Do – Change Your Lenses if they Feel Dry. In the same vein, be prepared for running repairs if your eyes start to feel dry and your lenses feel uncomfortable. Have spare lenses with you or even take a pair of glasses.
Don't – Lick Your Lenses Clean. It happens! I've heard of people who licked their lenses 'clean' or licked a finger and rubbed them with it. It won't necessarily get the dirt off them and you run the risk of introducing bacteria.
Do – Take out Your Lenses Before Sleeping. I know, you are very tired and possibly a little tipsy. Sleeping with your lenses in is not a good idea, however. The lenses prevent oxygen from reaching the surface of your eyes and this deprivation can lead to problems.
So, enjoy your festive season by all means but do think about your lenses.

Hidden Belgium: The Belgian who built the Paris metro
Nothing tells you the history of the flamboyant renaissance mansion on Place de la Liberté in Brussels. It was acquired in 1881, just two years after it was built, by the Belgian industrialist Edouard Empain.
Empain made a fortune in the late 19th century building railways, tramlines and electricity power stations. He also established his own investment bank to finance his operations. The bank occupied the ground floor of his mansion while Empain lived in a luxurious residence above.
In 1897, a company owned by Empain, the Compagnie Générale de Traction, won the contract to build the Paris metro system. Renamed the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer Métropolitain, it opened its first line on 19 July 1900.
The ground floor where Empain ran his banking operations is now occupied by a tattoo parlour.
Derek Blyth's hidden secret of the day: Derek Blyth is the author of the bestselling "The 500 Hidden Secrets of Belgium". He picks out one of his favourite hidden secrets for The Brussels Times every day.

Using an AutoStore ASRS as a Manufacturing WIP Storage Buffer
Matt Greene | 21 October 2020
Traditionally, many manufacturing environments look to store work in progress (WIP) goods in high-density shelving or racking systems with varying degrees of automation, ranging on the low end from static pallet racks or shelving units, to the mid-range mobile racking solutions, up to the high-end automated stacker cranes (ASRS cranes).
With the advent of cube storage solutions, non-traditional automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) have become more prevalent. In certain applications, the cube storage solution can be denser (smaller facility footprint) and less expensive than traditional ASRS. For example, a recent Bastian Solutions analysis for a customer had the following requirements:
Storage for 25,000 WIP goods (correlated to approx.12,000 totes for this industry)
Ability to induct/retrieve to and from any storage location to a single operator area
Throughput capacity of 120 moves per hour
The existing system was a seven-aisle, mini-load ASRS stacker crane with a robot-on-a-rail feeding system. It had reached end of life with high maintenance costs and frequent downtime. A like-for-like replacement cost of the system was estimated in excess of $4M and would additionally require a building expansion to allow for future capacity growth.
The same design specifications were met with a cube storage system for a 30% reduction in floorspace and 60% reduction in cost (not including the amount saved by avoiding a building expansion).
Cube storage ASRS systems use interlocking bins stacked inside an extruded aluminum grid with no dead space for aisles. A fleet of robots drive across tracks on top of the grid and work together to "dig" bins out of the system and deliver to operator ports. With orders sent to the system in advance, this type of ASRS is able to present WIP goods to operators (or upstream/downstream automation such as AGVs or conveyor) in a constant flow that far exceeds rates of traditional ASRS systems.
Due to the high flexibility of the layout in cube storage systems, Bastian Solutions was able to identify an unused, awkwardly-shaped area of the facility to maximize storage utilization of the space. The L-shaped storage area with pedestrian tunnel was able to accommodate all storage requirements with the additional benefits compared to a traditional ASRS crane solution.
The proposed cube-based automation system:
Reduced capital expense by more than $2M
Removed complex front-end transfer equipment (in this case, a robot-on-rail system)
Exceeded required system throughput (a single AutoStore port frequently cycles more than 250 bins/hour, and sometimes more than 300 bins/hour)
Eliminated dead space from aisles
Offered simpler throughput expansion capability (a new grid-top robot can be added in less than five minutes)
Cube storage automation systems such as AutoStore are not always an appropriate solution, but data analysis on an operation's order profile and volume can determine how effective it may or may not be in comparison to other available ASRS solutions. A key takeaway is to invest the time in this analysis period to select the right solution for your operation today and into the future.

How to add database to eclipse?
While working in java projects using databases, there are scenarios where you want go back and forth between eclipse and SQL command line. Instead of this, you can add the database(connection profile) to eclipse to view your tables, execute sql queries and so on. Lets us see how to do this in eclipse.
To create a new connection profile, select Database Connection, right click and select new.
A new window opens. Select the database with which you want to establish a connection.
A new window opens. Select the appropriate driver to use. I am using oracle 10g. So I have selected oracle thin driver for 10g. There is also an error mark on the top saying unable to locate JAR/zip.
A new window opens. select ojdbc14 from the location where oracle is installed.
Click ok and come back to the previous window.
Click Test Connection button to check your connection. you will get a ping succeeded message.
If you get a ping failed message. go back to your previous window by using Edit Driver definition and check the parameters once again. Also check for your SID, username, password.
If everything is perfect, click Finish. Now you can see your schema and the tables directly from eclipse.

Greatly appreciate the offer, will take you up on that I imagine! I'll look into what's required of the adapter board, should be able to spin a few at some point.
On the plus side since the OpenADC uses the 'PMOD' interface, any of the Digilent Inc boards also using that interface would work on my adapter board too. Someone mentioned another user looking at designing them, will look into that too.
If it was in any way helpful for development, I could set you up with network access to a ZedBoard-based prototype and would be happy to plug an OpenADC board in. At present there is SSH access to the board and also to a Raspberry Pi that's connected to its serial console. If you needed to modify the PL contents that would be a bit more tricky, but I could look into VNC access to a host running the tools.
I know that i'm late to the party, and that this thread is a year old, but a lot of things has happened in the last year.
Has anyone looked at this chip from Analog?
It has both ADC and DAC running at 112MHz(?) and 12 bits, with a tunable bandwidth of between 200KHz and 56MHz.
On top of that it has a built in Up/Down converter with a tunable range of 70MHz to 6GHz.
It also has 6 single ended inputs or 3 differential inputs. Outputs are two differential drivers.
This is an complete SDR front end in a single chip.
Snag: The price, at $130 in quantities of 184, and it's 144 ball BGA.
It will also make a very nice base for a Vector Network Analyzer.
Anyone interested in making an add-on board for the Parallella?
Many people on this forum are able to design such add-on board, but it is not low cost project. The board based on chip which you have mentioned can easily reach 1000$ price tag.
I think the best solution for connecting ADC/DAC to parallella board is use of modular approach based on SATA cabling system. The problem is similar to high speed data acquisition thread.
Using sata connectors/cables for this chip would be a waste. Why lay out a 6 or 10 layer board just to use sata connectors? You would also need several cables.
Then it would be simpler to design an FYI to Paralleled adaptor board as FMC is a standard ADC/DAC interface.


At its core, TEDxSeattle is driven by the intention to spark conversation and bring together a community. On November 18, thousands of guests will fill McCaw Hall who share the common goal of learning something new.
The TEDxSeattle team brought together 14 speakers this year that come from a wide range of backgrounds, from the co-founder of the Pacific hyperloop to a critically acclaimed local film artist. TEDxSeattle speaker team, in curating its lineup, focuses more on ideas than "names," in an effort to democratize the spread of great ideas. That drive towards innovation and change is ultimately what takes the speaker lineup so compelling.
SHW partnered with TEDxSeattle for the first time this year because as event planners, we understand the power of bringing people together. The experience of a program like TEDxSeattle –from the speaker lineup to breaks to lunch conversation tables – can form a powerful, unified experience. In fact, science proves that well-crafted events can alter our brain chemistry.
In 2007, Dr. Paul Zak discovered how engaging stories release oxytocin, a neurochemical that acts as a neurotransmitter – and is responsible for empathy and trust.
Dr. Zak's early work at the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University involved participants watching a short video about a father and his terminally ill toddler. As participants formed an emotional connection to the story's subjects, their levels of oxytocin increased. The surprising result was that the audience not only empathized with the father and child in the story, but also found that they were more generous when given the opportunity to give money to other participants.
The TEDxSeattle team came up with this year's theme, "Changing Places," with this big idea in mind: each of us has personal power to make positive change through passion and empathy. The stories curated look at ways individuals affect places and issues they care about, through action and empathy.
While TEDxSeattle isn't selling any one idea, they do aim to drive positive change within the community. "If each person walks away from the event with at least one new idea, or thought about an old idea in a way they never have before, we know we've done our jobs," said Lisa Phelps Dawes, Speaker Team Co-Chair.
These connections are something that we at SHW have known intuitively for nearly 40 years. Time and again, we witness how thoughtful, well-planned events that focus on interaction and attendee experience help our clients meet and exceed their expectations.
"We think that we're in such a digital world," says Dr. Zak. "What really surprised me when we started running experiments at in-person events, is that events like TED have a way larger bandwidth. Events like TED aren't going away, the theater isn't going away, conferences aren't going away: the brain really digs big bandwidth.
You can learn more about Dr. Paul Zak's research, or his most recent book, The Science of Creating High Performance Companies, by visiting his website.

A limo bus is a bus that is set up for a party, which can also be called a party bus. Some people refer to large stretch limousines, such as Hummer limos, as limo buses, but usually a limo bus is a party bus.
Limo buses are great for birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, weddings, and even proms. When the occasion calls, you just have to let loose with your friends and enjoy a great time. The best way to have fun in luxury is on a limo bus.
Limo buses will often come equipped with stereo systems, so you can enjoy your favorite type of music. Limo buses will generally have special lighting systems to help you set the mood at your party or gathering. Limo buses also have restrooms on board, so your party or gathering doesn't have to stop, wait, and suffer because nature calls for a guest. The fun is continuous on limo buses.
Limo buses can also be used to give out of town guests a tour of your city, or for an intimate night on the town for two like an anniversary. Limo buses can take the route you request, like a limousine, so you can drive past a river, lake, over a bridge, or visit the location of an important date with your husband or wife. It's up to you.
Limo buses are commonly used for short periods of time, such as hours, but can also be used for tours and longer trips, for extended lengths of time, like days.
When someone needs a limo bus, they generally rent it. Limo buses can be rented in nearly every city. The rental rates vary greatly depending on where you are located, where you want the bus to take you, how many people will be on board and the size of your bus, and even what supplies you would like pre-stocked on board. You can often pay a per hour rate when renting a party bus, but if you are going to be on the party bus for a longer period of time, you can probably negotiate a lower, per day fee.


Media company 88 Rising has effectively shone a spotlight on mainly Asian artists, allowing acts such as Higher Brothers to be heard around the world. Their most recent venture is Head In The Clouds, a compilation album made up of the groups's current roster.
Opening tracks La Cienega, Red Rubies and Swimming Pool all follow a similar mood-based trap formula, but each contributor gives each song its own identity, moving from soulful grunge to echoed soft synths to freestyling rap, while maintaining a sense of cohesion.
Peach Jam, Midsummer Madness and Plans evolve into fun, laid-back chill-pop, with plenty of playful and catchy melodies.
Phum Viphurit (who recently made his Hong Kong debut) guests on Higher Brothers' dreamy soul-funk banger Lover Boy 88, crooning, "Searching for the one to make me right." But it's Indonesian singer Niki who is the standout, working her beautiful vocals over any genre, from the grand EDM dreamscape of Warpaint to the tropical house bounce of I Want In.
Even if the metallic clanging of Let It Go or the jungle-trap Disrespectin' feel a bit tame in comparison to many of the others, Head In The Clouds proves that this group of artists is on the rise.


Canada To Export Successful Refugee Private Sponsorship Program - Canada Immigration and Visa Information. Canadian Immigration Services and Free Online Evaluation.
Dec 30, 2016 – Several of the world's leading countries could copy Canada's private refugee sponsorship program following its success in bringing in thousands of Syrian refugees.
Nearly 14,000 Syrians were privately sponsored between November 4, 2015 and December 19, 2016, as Canadians responded to a growing crisis caused by a bitter civil war in the Middle Eastern country.
Officials from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Chile, Germany, New Zealand, and the U.S. attended a conference in Ottawa in December aimed at learning how the model works, and how it could be applied in their countries.
Private sponsorship has been used here since the 1970s, but shot to prominence as Canadians lined up to help Syrians over the last year.
Canada's attitude to welcoming Syrians was lauded around the world in late 2015 and throughout 2016, as the federal government made good on an election promise to bring in 25,000 refugees by last February.
The overall figure now sits at 38,713 as the process continues, albeit at a slower pace.
As other countries, including Britain and the U.S., have been gripped by support for anti-immigration, protectionist policies, Canada has become a beacon for exactly the opposite attitude under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
However, the process of welcoming and integrating such a wave of refugees has not been without its problems and challenges.
The limit will apply to both Groups of Five and Community Sponsors, according to a new public policy from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The move comes following complaints from private sponsors with applications already in the system and families ready to move, that they have been left waiting for months and years for the paperwork to be processed.
Once the backlog is cleared, the target processing time will be 12 months.
While the move will mean less new applications are received in 2017, IRCC hopes it will mean the paperwork will be processed more quickly.
As the anniversary of the arrival of the first Syrians to Canada went by in December 2016, the early newcomers without jobs began claiming via provincial social benefits channels instead of refugee-specific funds.
The reality is setting in concerning the difficulties of integrating into a new life and, most importantly, entering the workforce.
"Those of us who were at the airport that day with Prime Minister Trudeau will never forget the moving experience of welcoming Syrian newcomers with warm hearts and winter coats," said Immigration Minister John McCallum on the day of the anniversary.
"Millions of Canadians were equally moved as they followed media coverage of the event, and over the past year, they have enthusiastically greeted the arrival of resettled Syrian refugees in communities from coast to coast to coast.
The government admitted in October that the number of Syrian refugee children arriving in the last year came as a surprise.
McCallum said the large number of children 'was not completely anticipated', with schools especially struggling to cope with the influx of new students.
Teachers in New Brunswick were overwhelmed by the sudden influx of Syrian refugee students in early 2016, leading to chaos in some classrooms, according to a report.
Extra funding to hire more staff eventually alleviated the problem.

Back in October 2015, I visited The Glass Den in Coburg. You can read about that here. I've been back a few times because it's quite easily my favourite place in Melbourne, or anywhere really, for breakfast/brunch (though I'd eat there at any time).
I've loved every meal I've had and service is consistently good. Make sure you check out the specials board too!
The vegan option Biggy ($22) was another I wanted to try and it didn't disappoint either. Sourdough toast with Dutch carrots, smoked coconut, mushrooms, beans, tomato, sautéed kale and a beetroot relish. This was fantastic, though the coconut bacon is not shown in the photo.
Food is always beautifully presented. The vegan meals are also popular with non-vegans and I truly believe The Glass Den does an exceptional job with showcasing how awesome vegan food can be and busting the silly myth that we only eat boring salad.
With their excellent, well thought out vegan options, The Glass Den continues to be my top pick! If you're visiting Melbourne, it's really easy to get to. Just catch the #19 tram up Sydney Road from the city and get off at Bell Street. The Glass Den is a short walk from there.
You can read about some recent visits to The Glass Den by bloggers Green Gourmet Giraffe, Quinces and Kale and Where's The Beef?
Love this place, your photos are fantastic and show how good the food is. Hotcakes are my favorite!!
thanks! Yes, the hotcakes are kind of like a siren call for me. I know I won't be able to eat the whole thing because they're sweet but damn that first half is SO GOOD.
Those meals look so beautiful! Definitely adding this place to my list for our next visit to Melbourne.
This place sounds great! As much as I do love pancakes, I don't think I could say no to that soba dish. Noodles for breakfast!
Oh my gosh, that all looks so great. I usually feel like savoury breakfasts when I go out but those hotcakes would sure tempt be – especially the stick date ones….ooh la la! I need to get out there and check this place out.
I find I have to share the hotcakes these days, they're so filling and sweet!
oooh sticky date pancakes! I enjoyed the biggy more than the pancakes but your photos are amazing – I wonder if the pancakes changed after we were there as I think we had candied lotus roots which were pretty but maybe my memory is gone awry (we didn't have pink cream on top). And I think you have convinced me on the soba noodles – is that coconut bacon on them?
yep coconut bacon 😀 Next time I'm getting the crispy wonton pad thai! We should go!
