Pretty villages in the Lot Valley
OUR pretty villages
AUJOLS
Aujols is the village known for its small man-built heritage. Discover the square with its typical Quercy 'butterfly' wash house, called this because of its practical shape for the washerwomen. The wash stones are placed in the form of a V and are typical of the Limogne heaths (Causse de Limogne). Equally to be found, amongst others, in the villages of Limogne-en-Quercy, Varaire, Escamps, Saillac. A hiking circuit 'wells and wash houses' can be walked from Aujouls, discover the specific local heritage, truffle farms, cazelles (small dry-stone huts) and of course wells and wash houses…
ALBAS
A very beautiful village in the Lot Valley, benefiting from an excellent location close to the vineyards and the river. This episcopal village, a former 'castrum' (fortified settlement), is built on a rocky spur cliff-top dropping sheer into the water and honeycombed by caves. From the 11th century, the ancient castle, set upon the cliff top, was a strategic point to keep a close watch over the Lot River and to guard against enemy attacks. It was one of the residency's owned by the Lord Bishops of Cahors. Albas a peaceful village where a real lifestyle is present, home to the Cahors wine, it really deserves its name of 'Pretty Albas".
CASTELNAU-MONTRATIER, HISTOIRE D'UNE BASTIDE
The bastide of Castelnau-Montratier stretches along a rocky promontory, the unusual cupola of its church, pointing skywards, can be seen from afar.
Remains found here show that human occupation goes back to the Gallo-Roman period. Towards the 10th century a first 'stone keep' was built on the Maurélis mount about 1.5 km from the village.
In the mid-11th century a 'new castle' named Castelnau-de-Vaux was built on the peak dominating the Lupte valley. Simon de Montfort had the castle destroyed in 1214 during the Albigensian crusade.
In 1250, Lord Ratier undertook the reconstruction of the town and gave it his name. It is built on the specific plan of a bastide - new towns of the Middle-Ages - it is organised around an imposing central square surrounded by arcades (today the Place Gambetta), a church on the outskirts and straight, parallel streets.
Over time the 'Barries', or districts, developed on each side of the straight road (today Rue Clémenceau). A second battlement encircled the town, except at the south, and it could be entered by five gateways.
Castelnau-Montratier possesses some particularly remarkable historical buildings:
La Maison des Consuls (The Consuls' House), today the town hall, was used by the Council magistrates from where they governed the town in the 15th century. The belfry was added in the 18th century.
La Maison Jacob (Jacob House), an imposing building, dating from the 13th century situated on the Gambetta Square was donated by its owner Pierre Jacob, a naval officer, in the 18th century.
The church of Saint-Martin of Romano-Byzantine style was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century on the ruins of the former Romanesque church. The dome was installed in 1935-1936. This church houses stained glass and rose windows representing the life of Saint-Martin, the Virgin Mary and Saint-Joseph.
The three windmills proudly aligned at the entrance of the village, are witness to a rich and prosperous past.
Two wash houses, dry-stone walls, a few fountains (springs) represent a small rural man-built heritage, that today are the object of restoration and conservation by local volunteers.
In the narrow streets, we can also admire some beautiful ancient doors, half-timbered houses and architectural details partially or fully intact.
CABRERETS
Nestled in the cliff hollows of the Célé Valley, a mere 10 kilometres from Saint-Cirq Lapopie, the village of Cabrerets is really worth the detour. At its foot runs a river, ideal for outdoor leisure activities such as canoeing, swimming, fishing for example! Remarkable cliffs surround you and also offer breath-taking views from the viewpoint (from the village follow the yellow signposting). On your way back down, can be seen some semi-troglodyte housings (one wall is built into the cliff face), they are all privately owned, but can be admired from the outside. Cabrerets is especially renowned for its celebrated cave 'Pech Merle', not to be missed with its prehistoric paintings and engravings more than 29.000 million years old. And importantly one of the last authentic caves that can be visited in France !
LA TOULZANIE
The Toulzanie is a small hamlet of the village of Saint-Martin Labouval. It is located on the road running from Cajarc to Saint-Cirq Lapopie. Its particularity? Troglodyte houses with a wall in the cliff! Like Cabrerets, they can't be visited, but admired from the outside. The most beautiful view? The one from the river. For that, you can either rent a boat for the day at Bouziès for example or rent a canoe or a pedal boat from the water sports centre at Cénevières.
LUZECH
The medieval town of Luzech is a penisula forming one of the most spectacular sites of the Lot Valley. The rocky spur of its backbone, dominated by the Impernal and Pistoule hills is cut by the narrow isthmus modelled by the river. The lowlands are found in the loop of the meander, facing the abrupt Cevennes of Teulettes. On the emplacement of an ancient canal (dug to avoid having to take the complete tour of the meander), can be found the central square of the village.
The Impernal Oppidum
At the northern end of Luzech, the rocky promontory of the Impernal dominates the Lot Valley. Many excavations have taken place since E. Castagne discovered the site in 1872. They have brought to light three areas of building structures.
MONTCABRIER
When travelling the Way of Saint James via Rocamadour, the walker arrives in Montcabrier. This fortified royal bastide, founded in 1298 by Philippe the Bel has conserved its orthogonal tracings, organised around a square, lined by houses from between the 14th and 16th centuries. Below the village the cliffs offer a site for rock-climbing greatly appreciated by both the experienced and the beginners.
The pretty village of Vers (Saint-Géry-Vers) is at the confluence of the Vers stream and the Lot River. Surrounded by beautiful cliffs, look up and discover the English Keep (just like in Cabrerets or Bouziès) and at the exit in the direction of Cahors the Chapel of Velles. There also existed a Roman aqueduct built into the rock allowing the transport of drinking water to Cahors. The village is also a crossroads for the Saint James' Ways between the GR®46 coming from Rocamadour and the GR®36 from Bouziès-Saint-Cirq Lapopie.
THE BASTIDES
During the 13th and 14th centuries 'new towns' are built all over the southwest of France following a specific plan: a central square surrounded by arcades, a church on the outskirts and a parcelled checkerboard construction plan of straight parallel streets with houses and gardens. Many bastides are still scattered here and there over our territory. Go out on a bastide hunt, they've been waiting a long time. The most interesting: Castelnau-Montratier, Labastide-Marnhac, Beauregard, Castelfranc, Labastide-du-Vert…
Aux 13ème et 14ème siècles, des « villes nouvelles » sont bâties
dans tout le sud-ouest de la France selon un plan type : une place
centrale à couverts et arcades, une église excentrée et un plan
parcellaire ou à damiers, composé de rues droites et parallèles
avec maisons et jardins. Partez à la chasse aux bastides, elles sont
encore nombreuses sur notre territoire et vous attendent depuis
bien longtemps. Les plus intéressantes : Castelnau-Montratier,
Labastide-Marnhac, Beauregard, Castelfranc, Labastide-du-Vert…
THE MOST RENOWNED VILLAGES OF THE LOT VALLEY
SAINT-CIRQ LAPOPIE
A breath away from Cahors, Saint-Cirq Lapopie elected 'the 1st Preferred Village of the French' overlooking the Lot River from a height of 100 metres, offers itself up to you. Saint-Cirq Lapopie proudly accumulates its honours: 13 historical monuments, ranked the 'Most Beautiful Village of France' and most importantly, the seduction of each visitor.
In lanes haphazardly created through its history, between houses dating from the 12th to 15th centuries you'll plunge directly into the Middle Ages. Also a village of artists from today and yesteryear, André Breton, leader of the Surrealists is the most renowned amongst them. Like him, you'll be captivated by this village and can confirm in unison 'I've ceased wishing myself elsewhere'.
THE TOWPATH
And whilst you're here why not take the fascinating tow path at the bottom of the village. It proposes a walk of no more than 5 kilometres along the river bank, part of which is carved into the cliff face, with a few metres decorated by a bas-relief evoking the aquatic life of the Lot. It's flat, it's easy, it's shady and above all it's magnificent !
PUY-L'ÉVêque
Built upon a rocky spur, the medieval city can be discovered on foot via the signposted circuit and by the river on a flat-bottomed river barge. It's medieval dwellings in ochre-coloured stone stand alongside more recent constructions, such as the hanging gardens. At the exit of the town, et yourself be surprised by the savoir faire of the porcelain manufacturer Virebent, a living heritage business.
MONTCUQ
This pretty village in the Quercy Blanc is worth your attention for many reasons. To start with because of Nino Ferrer, French singer, songwriter emblematic of the 1960's. The village is inspiring because of the many artists and craftspeople who settle here.
Montcuq can be visited by following the signposted walk which takes you step-by-step through the medieval alleyways: buildings with geminate windows, arcaded and half-timbered facades, remarkable doors and lintels – a wealth of detail telling here and there the turbulent history of the village and describing its particular charm.
The church of Saint-Hilaire, built at the end of the 12th century and altered in the 18th century, houses a group of stained-glass windows in vibrant colours retracing the lives of Christ and Saint-Hilaire.

The Quarry – gra komputerowa z gatunku survival horror, opracowana przez Supermassive Games i opublikowana przez 2K Games. Gra jest duchowym następcą Until Dawn z 2015 roku i została wydana na platformy Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One oraz Xbox Series X/S.

Rozgrywka
W grze gracz przejmuje kontrolę nad dziewięcioma różnymi nastolatkami, którzy muszą przetrwać noc w Hackett's Quarry. Gracz musi podejmować różne decyzje, które mogą zmienić rozwój postaci, fabułę i relacje między różnymi postaciami. Wszystkie dziewięć grywalnych postaci może umrzeć do końca gry, a każda postać ma potencjalnie 10-12 różnych sposobów śmierci. Supermassive oczekiwał, że gra będzie trwać około 10 godzin, choć wczesna śmierć niektórych postaci może spowodować, że gra zakończy się wcześniej o około 7 godzin. Ze względu na rozgałęzioną fabułę gry, ma wiele zakończeń, a na koniec rozgrywki gracze otrzymają różne karty kolekcjonerskie, które przedstawiają los każdej postaci. Gdy gracz ukończy swoje pierwsze przejście gry, odblokuje Death Rewind, który pozwoli mu cofnąć trzy zgony postaci w każdej kolejnej rozgrywce. Jeśli jednak gracz zamówił w przedsprzedaży Edycję Deluxe, będzie miał Death Rewind na swoją pierwszą rozgrywkę.

Gra zawiera również tryb filmowy, który wyłącza niektóre elementy rozgrywki, takie jak ściskanie przycisków, szybkie zdarzenia oraz celowanie i strzelanie, umożliwiając graczom postępy w grze przy minimalnym nakładzie pracy. W grze dostępny jest również tryb lokalny i online dla wielu graczy. W lokalnym trybie wieloosobowym gracze na zmianę sterują różnymi postaciami, podczas gdy w trybie online siedmiu innych uczestniczących graczy może głosować w kluczowych decyzjach. Gracze mogą brać udział w głosowaniu, pobierając jedynie wersję demo The Quarry. Gra zawiera również tryb tylko filmowy, w którym gracz może ustawić cechy osobowości różnych postaci, a następnie pozwolić, aby historia się rozegrała.

Why companies use the words LTD after their names, for example Tata Motors Limited?
The members may come & go but the company will go on for ever. Sir what does it mean?
The main type of business organisations are Proprietorship, Partnership and Company. Proprietorship is suitable for small businesses where not much capital is required. If any business requires more capital and talent, then partnership is a better option.
Unlimited Liability of the partners irrespective of their share in the partnership. In simple words it means that in case the firm incurs losses, each partner is jointly and individually is bound to make good this loss. For example A, B and C are three partners. They incur a loss of Rs.500000 over and above their capitals. This means the firm owes Rs.500000 to outsiders. Now, it is the responsibility of the partners to bring in Rs.500000 in the ratio of their profit. But in case a partner is not able to bring in his share, then other partners will have to bring his share also. For example if B and C are not a position to contribute towards losses, then A will have to bring in Rs.500000 from his personal estate, even if he had 1/5 share in partnership.
a cannot be called up to pay more than Rs.20000. Such companies which restrict the liability of their shareholders in their Memorandum of Association are called Limited Liability Companies. Such companies are by law required to write the word Limited or Ltd. after their name.
2. Perpetual Succession: After a company is registered under Companies Act, it becomes a Separate Person or entity in the eyes of Law. It is separate from its members or shareholders. The shareholders can freely sell/transfer their shares to anyone (though private limited companies put some restrictions). So if A sells his shares to B or tomorrow B sells his shares to C, it will not affect the company. So shareholders may come or go, the company will remain in existence. Even death or insolvency of shareholders does not affect the company because it is a separate legal entity.

State Firearm Laws After Bruen November 4, 2022
Darrell A. H. Miller, Andrew R. Morral, Rosanna Smart
New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen is a major change to Second Amendment jurisprudence and could lead to large-scale changes in the U.S. firearm regulatory landscape.

Providing Another Chance: Resetting Recidivism Risk in Criminal Background Checks January 6, 2022
Criminal background checks screen people for myriad opportunities, including employment. The authors propose the reset principle, which anchors recidivism risk assessments at the time of the background check to account for a person's time in the community since their last interaction with the criminal justice system. This differs from recidivism risk assessments in the criminal justice context, which are anchored at the time of conviction.
How Different Sampling Methods Paint Vastly Different Pictures of Recidivism, and Why It Matters for Policy January 6, 2022
Nidhi Kalra, Brian G. Vegetabile, Shawn D. Bushway, Greg Baumann
In this paper, the authors argue that the recidivism statistics cited most often in debates about the collateral consequences of conviction are not appropriate evidence in those debates. In particular, those statistics often are based on criminal justice cohort samples, which disproportionately contain frequent participants in the criminal justice system and thus have higher recidivism rates compared with the broader population of concern.

While advances in medicine, technology and healthcare services offer promises of longevity and improved quality of life (QoL), there is also increasing reliance on a patient׳s skills and motivation to optimize all the benefits available. Patient engagement in their own healthcare has been described as the 'blockbuster drug of the century'. In multiple sclerosis (MS), patient engagement is vital if outcomes for the patient, society and healthcare systems are to be optimized. The MS in the 21st Century Steering Group devised a set of themes that require action with regard to patient engagement in MS, namely: 1) setting and facilitating engagement by education and confidence-building; 2) increasing the importance placed on QoL and patient concerns through patient-reported outcomes (PROs); 3) providing credible sources of accurate information; 4) encouraging treatment adherence through engagement; and 5) empowering through a sense of responsibility. Group members independently researched and contributed examples of patient engagement strategies from several countries and examined interventions that have worked well in areas of patient engagement in MS, and other chronic illnesses. The group presents their perspective on these programs, discusses the barriers to achieving patient engagement, and suggests practical strategies for overcoming these barriers. With an understanding of the issues that influence patient engagement in MS, we can start to investigate ways to enhance engagement and subsequent health outcomes. Engaging patients involves a broad, multidisciplinary approach.

Marine Research Plymouth: Research Dialogue #2


Welcome to another edition Guru Corner featuring my favorite teacher on all things mystic and metaphysical, Guru Singh.
Fusing Eastern mysticism with Western pragmatism, Guru Singh is a celebrated third-generation Sikh yogi and master spiritual teacher who has been studying and teaching Kundalini Yoga for more than 40 years. He is the author of several books, a powerful lecturer and behind-the-scenes guide to many a luminary, including Fortune 500 CEOs, athletes, and artists.
A peer of rock legends like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead, Guru Singh is also a supremely talented musician who began his recording career on Warner Bros' Reprise label in the 1960s. When he isn't laying down tracks with people like Seal, he's bringing down the house on the daily at Yoga West, his Los Angeles home base.
Today's conversation focuses on the importance of cultivating your true self in a world that values conformity over individuality.
Too many of us live disconnected lives. Lives led not mindfully, nor from a place of personal agency, but rather in reaction to external expectations and pressures. Personal expression is left repressed. The authentic voice is silenced. As a result, we suffer.
No longer. It's time to sing your song. May this conversation with one of my very favorite people help you find the notes.
Note: If you missed my previous conversations with Guru Singh, start with episode 267 and then enjoy episodes 332, 368, 393 and 400.
Final Note: You can watch our conversation on YouTube at bit.ly/gurucorner418 and the show is also now available on Spotify.

When the temperature drops, there's no better place to be than a warm, cozy bar where you can escape the cold. If you're looking for a cozy bar in the Capital Region & Albany area, then you'll want to check out one of the establishments listed below!
Although City Beer Hall in Albany is well known for its outdoor Beer Garden, if you step inside, you'll find a beautiful cozy bar. In addition to their unique gastropub menu and wide selection of beers and martinis, City Beer Hall's main room features a rustic atmosphere and warm fireplace to sit near.
Since 1913, Jack's Oyster House has been a key part of Albany's restaurant scene and has remained family-owned and operated. The dining room has a very welcoming atmosphere, and visitors can sit at one of the tables or right at the cozy bar.
The back room of Restaurant Navona in Albany is home to a large cozy bar. Their menu includes a huge selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails, as well as high-quality Mediterranean and modern Italian cuisine. The fireplace in the corner of the main dining room helps warm up the restaurant on chilly evenings.
The Century House in Latham features a hotel, a conference center, and an award-winning restaurant with a cozy bar. While their large fireplace keeps the dining area warm, the adjacent tavern is a great spot to taste some locally-brewed craft beers.
Located in Latham, Milano Restaurant is one of the Capital Region's premier fine dining Italian restaurants offering everything from mushroom ravioli to gourmet pizza. While the wood-fired pizza oven in the kitchen warms up the establishment, you can sit at the bar and sip a wine, beer, or specialty cocktail.
For great views and a cozy atmosphere in the Capital Region, you'll want to make a trip to the Waters Edge Lighthouse Restaurant & Inn in Glenville. Hang out in the comfortable bar area and enjoy the warm fireplace during winter!
Built in the 1730s, the Olde English Pub & Pantry offers a relaxing atmosphere inside a historic building. At the bar, you can order everything from cocktails to quality British beers and wine. Experience the comforts of an old English pub as you sit by the fireplace.
Once you step inside the unassuming Scarboroughs Restaurant & Tavern, you'll find yourself surrounded by an authentic rustic atmosphere. The bar area is reminiscent of an Adirondack tavern, and a fireplace warms the entire floor.
Another great way to warm up is with a slice of wood-fired pizza, which is offered at Bacchus in Troy! While the restaurant's large, ornate wood-fired pizza oven warms up the room, you can enjoy a selection of craft beers and wines at the bar.

Homepage Cold War EraRemembering the AGM-69 SRAM, SAC Bombers' Short Range Attack Missile
Remembering the AGM-69 SRAM, SAC Bombers' Short Range Attack Missile
AGM-69 SRAM entered service in 1972 and was carried by the B-52, FB-111A, and B-1B.
The interesting video in this post provides an overview of the AGM-69 Short Range Attack Missile (SRAM), produced by Boeing for the Strategic Air Command (SAC). SRAM replaced the AGM-28 Hound Dog standoff missile beginning in 1972, and was itself replaced by the AGM-86 air launched cruise missile (ALCM) beginning in 1993.
The Boeing AGM-69 SRAM was a nuclear air-to-surface missile. It had a range of up to 50 nautical miles (93 km; 58 mi), and was intended to allow US Air Force (USAF) strategic bombers to penetrate Soviet airspace through the neutralization of surface-to-air missile defenses. SRAM was designed to replace the older AGM-28 Hound Dog standoff missile which was tasked with the same basic role. Hound Dog was a very large missile that could only be carried in pairs by the B-52, so some aircraft were tasked with suppressing Soviet missile and radar sites while others would carry on to strike their strategic targets. SRAM was so much smaller that a number could be carried along with other weapons, allowing a single aircraft to blast its own way through to its targets.
SRAM entered service in 1972 and was carried by a number of aircraft, including the B-52, FB-111A, and B-1B.
The SRAM was removed from service in 1993, by which time its mission was rendered obsolete by the introduction of the AGM-86, which could be launched from far outside the range of Soviet weapons, and no longer required the bombers to penetrate Soviet defenses.
The requirement for the weapon was issued by the SAC in 1964, and the resultant AGM-69A SRAM contract was awarded to Boeing in 1966. After delays and technical flaws during testing, it was ordered into full production in 1971 and entered service in August 1972. It was carried by the B-52, FB-111A, and, for a very short period starting in 1986, by B-1Bs based at Dyess AFB in Texas. SRAMs were also carried by the B-1Bs based at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota, Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota, and McConnell AFB in Kansas up until late 1993.
SRAM had an inertial navigation system as well as a radar altimeter which enabled the missile to be launched in either a semi-ballistic or terrain-following flight path. The SRAM was also capable of performing one "major maneuver" during its flight which gave the missile the capability of reversing its course and attacking targets that were behind it, sometimes called an "over-the-shoulder" launch. The missile had a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of about 1,400 feet (430 m) and a maximum range of 110 nautical miles (200 km). The SRAM used a single W69 nuclear warhead with a variable yield of 17 kilotons as a fission weapon, or 210 kilotons as a fusion weapon with tritium boost enabled.
The SRAM missile was completely coated with 0.8 in (2.0 cm) of soft rubber, used to absorb radar energy and also dissipate heat during flight. The three fins on the tail were made of a phenolic material, also designed to minimize any reflected radar energy. All electronics, wiring, and several safety devices were routed along the top of the missile, inside a raceway.

On the B-52 SRAMs were carried externally on two wing pylons (six missiles on each pylon) and internally on an eight-round rotary launcher mounted in the bomb bay; maximum load-out was 20 missiles. The capacity of the B-1B was eight missiles on up to three rotary launchers (one in each of its three stores bays) for a maximum loadout of 24 missiles, all internal. The smaller FB-111A could carry two missiles internally and four more missiles under the aircraft's swing-wing. The externally mounted missiles required the addition of a tailcone to reduce aerodynamic drag during supersonic flight of the aircraft.
Upon rocket motor ignition, the missile tailcone was blown away by the exhaust plume. About 1,500 missiles were built at a cost of about $592,000 each by the time production ended in 1975. The Boeing Company sub-contracted with the Lockheed Propulsion Company for the propellants, which subsequently closed with the end of the SRAM program.

Year-round school? Maybe, maybe not
The school year is coming to an end, and I'm on the fence. On one hand, summer vacation is awesome. Seriously. For me, there was nothing quite like that feeling of waking up the day after school is over.
On the other hand, not every kid feels that way, and there is some evidence to support that no matter how awesome I thought summer vacation was, academically, it wasn't that great for me (though it was still pretty awesome).
An increasing number of K-12 school districts across the United States are doing away with summer break and adopting a year-round education model, typically where students are in class for 45 days and out for 15. They still offer the standard 180 days of instruction per year.
Surprisingly, the primary reason for this shift isn't academic, it's financial. Out of necessity, mostly because of increasing class sizes, districts are maximizing the use of building space by staggering classes on a multirack schedule, which has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacations. This of course causes some serious headaches for administrators and also for parents with kids who end up on different calendars. There is also mounting evidence that single-track schools, either year-round or traditional, outperform the multitrack.
For those districts who adopt a single-track, year-round model, the evidence to support the model is mixed. There is no question that children do forget some of what they learned over the long summer break — some studies indicate teachers can spend up to four weeks reteaching lessons at the beginning of each school year — and certain populations such as English language learners and the economically disadvantaged tend to take the hardest academic hit. But there has yet to be a definitive study that shows how year-round education improves general academic achievement.
A study by the Century Foundation in 2004 indicates that it's only when year-round education is accompanied by enrichment and remedial programs — as opposed to simply stretching out the school year — that achievement tends to be positive.
The upshot here is that students who need the most support during the school year are the ones who fall behind even more during the summer. While many students in the summer might play more than they read, they still have parents who engage them, read to them, take them on trips to the library and museum. These kids will do pretty well when the school year begins again. Other children who have parents with limited capacity to support their children — because of mental and behavioral health issues or otherwise — or even worse, children who are left entirely to their own devices, lose a critical support system, perhaps their only one. For them, summer vacation is yet one more barrier to becoming a successful adult.

Q: How to prevent asp.net page from reseting data table? Consider this code
    DataTable dt = new DataTable() ;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            dt.Columns.Add("RowIndex");
            dt.Columns.Add("FilterText");
    }

I will Fill this data table by some data during executing program. but when i click a button , the page will reload the codes and my data will be lost.
how can i prevent the web form from creating new data table and save my data?
my controls are inside an update panel.

A: A new instance of the class is created for each request. If you want to save things from one request to another you need to use a different mechanism.
For example a global. But on top of a globals usual problems you need to handle multiple concurrent requests and thus multi-threading and locking.
The usual approach is to store persistent state in a database, loading the information for each request at the start of processing that request.

A: You can use View State to solve problem..
DataTable dt;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
           dt = new DataTable();
           dt.Columns.Add("RowIndex");
           dt.Columns.Add("FilterText");
        }
        else
        {
            if (ViewState["vsDT"] != null)
                dt= ViewState["vsDT"] as DataTable;
        }
    }

I answer this post not because I have successfully completed Level 15 of your game, simply to tell you that your event is IMPOSSIBLE, I spent days playing for hours recording and level 15 n ' is not possible to do, I am yet gifted for these types of game and I do not even go to half, you can see that after so long no one has managed to finish it and no one will get there. I did try your game to a professional tester (test the games of run and jump).
he laughed for the 100 meters he managed to do and told me it is just impossible to finish.
We can assure you that it is not impossible to finish the last level. Our testers were able to complete it multiple times. But yes, it is very very hard and probably too difficult for this type of contest.

It has been a crazy few days at MacSparky. I've been unhappy with my prior domain server for some time. There has been a constant poblem with network speed. The kicker, however, was downtime. I have experienced recurring downtimes culminating in a full day this week. Enough was enough.
Thankfully, the transition was much easier than I expected. I am now hosted by SquareSpace. I re-engineered the site, imported the wordpress back-up, and switched the domain over with reckless abandon. The whole process took about 4 hours, which is remarkable. I'll be continuing to tweek the site for a bit and please report any problems you encounter. It looks like most existing links came over and Google has already found me at my new home.
Also, please re-subscribe to the RSS feed if you are not getting it. Finally, thanks to everyone for their patience during the transition and the spectacular customer service department at SquareSpace for saving my bacon.

Q: geodesics in a Liouville's surface A surface $S$ is a Liouville's surface if its coefficients of the first fundamental form satistifes $E=G=U+V$ and $F=0,$ where $U=U(u)$ and $V=V(v).$
I need to prove that the geodesics in a Liouville's surfaces  can be obtained by primitivation of the form $$\int \frac{\textrm{d}u}{\sqrt{U(u)-c}}=\pm\int\frac{\textrm{d}v}{\sqrt{V(v)+c}}. $$
My first try is to use the parallelism equations for a geodesic curve. If $\gamma$ is a geodesic, $\gamma(t)=\mathbb{x}(u(t),v(t)),$ where $\mathbb{x}$ is a local parametrization of $S,$ so
$$
\begin{cases}
\displaystyle u''+\Gamma_{11}^{1}(u')^{2}+2\Gamma_{12}^{1}u'v'+\Gamma_{22}^{1}(v')^{2}=0, \\
\displaystyle v''+\Gamma_{11}^{2}(u')^{2}+2\Gamma_{12}^{2}u'v'+\Gamma_{22}^{2}(v')^{2}=0.
\end{cases}
 $$
Computing the Christofell symbols, I find
$$\Gamma_{11}^{1}=\frac{U_{u}}{2(U+V)},\;\Gamma_{11}^{2}=-\frac{V_{v}}{2(U+V)},\; \Gamma_{12}^{1}=\frac{V_v}{2(U+V)\;}, \\
\Gamma_{12}^{2}=-\frac{U_{u}}{2(U+V)},\;\Gamma_{22}^{1}=-\frac{U_{u}}{2(U+V)},\;\Gamma_{22}^{2}=\frac{V_v}{2(U+V)}.
$$
So, applying this to the ODE,
$$
\begin{cases}
\displaystyle u''+\frac{U_{u}(u)}{2(U(u)+V(v))}(u')^{2}+\frac{V_{v}(v)}{U(u)+V(v)}u'v'-\frac{U_{u}(u)}{2(U(u)+V(v))}(v')^{2}=0, \\
\displaystyle v''-\frac{V_{v}(v)}{2(U(u)+V(v))}(u')^{2}+\frac{U_{u}(u)}{U(u)+V(v)}u'v'+\frac{V_{v}(v)}{2(U(u)+V(v))}(v')^{2}=0.
\end{cases}
$$
But... well, I don't know if I can do something from here.
I tried to manipulate the equations, and I got
$$
\begin{cases}
2\left[u'\left(U(u)+V(v)\right)\right]'-\left((u')^{2}+(v')^{2}\right)U_{u}(u)=0 \\
2\left[v'\left(U(u)+V(v)\right)\right]'-\left((u')^{2}+(v')^{2}\right)V_{v}(v)=0
\end{cases}
 $$
Since, both equations equals to zero, one is equal to the other, so, manipulating,
$$2\left[\left(U(u)+V(v)\right)\left(u'-v'\right)\right]'+\left((u')^{2}+(v')^{2}\right)\left(V_{v}(v)-U_{u}(u)\right)=0, $$
and now I don't know what to do.

A: Starting from the equation Ted Shifrin told you, $$ \frac{d}{dt}\left[ (U+ V) \dot{u} \right] = \frac{1}{2(U + V)} \frac{dU}{du}. $$
Therefore,
$$ \frac{dU}{du} = 2(U + V) \frac{d}{dt} \left[ (U +V) \dot{u} \right] $$
$$ \therefore \frac{dU}{du} = 2 (U + V) \left[ \frac{d(U + V)}{dt} \dot{u} + (U + V) \ddot{u}  \right] $$
$$ = 2 (U + V) \frac{d(U + V)}{dt} \dot{u} + 2 (U + V)^2 \ddot{u}$$
$$  =\frac{d (U + V)^2}{dt} \dot{u} + 2 (U + V)^2 \frac{d \dot{u}}{dt}. $$
However, notice that
$$ \frac{d}{dt} \left[ (U + V)^2 \dot{u}^2 \right] = 2 (U + V) \frac{d(U+V)}{dt} \dot{u}^2 + (U + V)^2 2 \dot{u} \ddot{u}$$
$$ = \dot{u} \left[ \frac{d(U + V)^2}{dt}\dot{u} + (U + V)^2 2 \ddot{u} \right] = \dot{u} \frac{dU}{du}. $$
Since $\frac{dU}{du} \frac{du}{dt} = \frac{dU}{dt} $,
integrating you obtain for some constant A
$$ (U + V)^2 \dot{u}^2 = U - A. $$
The geodesic is parameterized by arclength, which implies
$$ (U + V)(\dot{u}^2 + \dot{v}^2) = 1 \implies $$
$$ (U + V)^2(\dot{u}^2 + \dot{v}^2) = U + V. $$
Substitute what you found for $(U + V)^2 \dot{u}^2$, reaching that $ (U + V)^2 \dot{v}^2 = V + A $ .
Finally, take square roots (here the sign possibilities appear) and "equaling the $ dt $s":
$$ \frac{(U + V)}{\sqrt{U - A}} du = \pm \frac{(U + V)}{\sqrt{V + A}} dv $$
Cancelling $ U + V $ and integrating, you reach, for some constant $ B $:
$$ \int \frac{du}{\sqrt{U - A}} = \pm \int \frac{dv}{\sqrt{V + A}} + B .$$

Pacific was a painting I did depicting the space needle, as well as a try for painting more complicated backgrounds that included foliage like trees. It took me a month to actually finish it as I was constantly picking it up and setting it back down again, somewhat afraid of botching the forest.
In order to assist me with the mood of the scene, I did mix and render a soundscape, complete with wildlife, wind, and a violin song.
I really did want to capture a shadow bleeding off the edges of the Space Needle, so I took to Blender to render some volumetric lighting effect references.
To achieve a greater shadow effect, I actually had to use Blender's spot lamp, instead of the sun lamp normally used for parallel light rays.
The original concept sketch made in December 2016. Traveler (the deer) was on her phone instead of playing the violin. The referenced location of the scene was along the Alaskan Way Viaduct, just before passing under 1st Avenue.
The final sketch, with derelict monorail towers and a more open shingle beach. The reference location had changed to the four-way intersection in front of the McGraw square.
An earlier rendering of the scene before some post-processing. Looking back, I might prefer this version over the final published one.
