From The Impact Zone at Universal Studios Orlando in Orlando, Florida:
Hosted by "The Professor" Mike Tenay and Taz.
Magnus was furious from losing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and with "The Monster" Abyss. Magnus told him that the reason why everyone left him is because he is a disappointment. Abyss reminded him that MVP would fire anyone who interfered in the match. Magnus decided to kick him to the curb when Abyss told him that for him, it wasn't about the money, but a place to belong. Abyss was ready to fight, and Magnus threatened to have him arrested when MVP appeared.
MVP asked him if he wanted a full time spot on the roster, only if he defeated Magnus!!! Abyss looked at Magnus and said "I never liked you!".

From The Legendary Von Braun Center/Von Braun Civic Center in Huntsville, Alabama:
TNA dedicated this week's broadcast to the life and memory of WWE Hall of Famer/Pro-Wrestling Legend Mae Young who passed away on Wednesday, January 14, 2014 at the age of 90.
How Genesis 2014 Began: Rockstar Spud insulted all of Huntsville while TNA President Dixie Carter expressed her happiness from "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles not being TNA World Heavyweight Champion. The reigning champion Magnus declared that "The Reign of Magnus" had begun. He gave Dixie the belt that A.J. had, and declared that she's the reason for TNA's success. After that, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Bro Mans (Robbie E and Jesse Godderz), Zema Ion, Bobby Roode, Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian), TNA Knockouts Champion Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa joined her, Spud and Magnus as she praised them for last week. She declared that it will be the start of a new era in TNA when her nephew Ethan Carter III will defeat TNA Hall of Famer "The Icon" Sting.
Ethan joined them, and as he was about to speak Sting appeared in the crowd!!! Sting was fed up with Dixie's mob boss attitude, and labeled Magnus a "paper champion". Sting was disgusted from the fact that everything that he and Kurt Angle taught Magnus was discarded. Within minutes, "Cowboy" James Storm, Samoa Joe, Gunner, Joseph Park, Eric Young and ODB appeared as Sting waged war, and the assault began…..

TNA X Division Champion Chris Sabin declared his girlfriend Velvet Sky selfish, and wanted to know why she was hanging around Austin Aries. Aries had a title for Sabin: The Worst Boyfriend That Ever Lived. He stated that she doesn't need to put up with Sabin, because she's being used as a pawn. Aries then issued a challenge for the title next week, to see if Sabin can win without Velvet. Aries had an idea: Velvet inside a cage.
Sabin rejected the idea, Velvet didn't, and she had her own idea: if Sabin loses, she will breakup with him!!!
2. A NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH: Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson.
THE WINNER: BULLY RAY.
Kurt Angle was enraged with Dixie creating a phony emergency involving his family last week. Dixie stated that she did it to protect him, but he knew about her war against A.J. She also stated that she did it because it was best for him. Kurt decided to be near Sting's side during his match against ECIII, but Dixie postponed his Steel Cage Match between him and Bobby Roode until next week. Kurt had enough, and Dixie ordered security to remove him from the arena, when he was attacked by Roode.
INTERVIEW: Madison Rayne.
Jeremy Borash wanted Madison's thoughts on her upcoming championship match against Gail Kim, when Lei'D Tapa got in her face. She was then assaulted from behind by Gail.

THE SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE FOR THIS MATCH: Rockstar Spud.
THE WINNER: THE STILL UNDEFEATED ETHAN CARTER III.

After that, Sting demanded a fight against Magnus, but for the World title!!! Magnus announced that Dixie is renegotiating Sting's contract, and told Sting that if he loses, he will destroy it. Sting accepted.
Match #2 is the highlight match of the night!!!
Bully Ray and Mr. Anderson are the wrestlers of the night!!!
Madison Rayne winning back the Knockouts Championship was the highlight of the night!!!

Q: Edit method in web api I have following class , its using Entity Frameworks to operate its tasks
Repository Class
public class LibraryRepository
{
    LibraryContext context = new LibraryContext();

    public void EditBook(Book book)
    {
        context.Entry(book).State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Modified;
    }
}

so I'm trying to use this EditBook method in my Web API
Web API Controller Class
public class BooksWebAPIController : ApiController
{
        private LibraryRepository db = new LibraryRepository();

        [ResponseType(typeof(void))]
        public IHttpActionResult PutBook(int id, Book book)
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return BadRequest(ModelState);
            }

            if (id != book.Book_Id)
            {
                return BadRequest();
            }

            db.EditBook(book);

            return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent);
        }
}

I'm trying use above Web API EditBook URL in MVC project(as my client layer)
So I have created a client class in MVC project's Model folder like below
LibraryClient Class
public class LibraryClient
{
    private string BOOK_URL = "http://localhost:13793/api/Books";

    public bool Edit(Book book)
    {
        try
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(BOOK_URL);
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.PutAsJsonAsync("Books/" + book.Book_Id, book).Result;

            return response.IsSuccessStatusCode;
        }
        catch
        {
            return false;
        }

    }
}

Then in MVC Project's Controller Folder I have created following class and controllers to interact with front end
BooksController Class
public class BooksController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Edit(int id)
    {
        LibraryClient lc = new LibraryClient();
        Book book = new Book();
        book = lc.GetBook(id);

        return View("Edit", book);
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Edit(Book book)
    {
        LibraryClient pc = new LibraryClient();
        pc.Edit(book);
        return RedirectToAction("BookswithAuthers", "BookWithAuther");
    }
 }

But here this is compiling without any errors, when I select a book to edit its fetching correct book , but once I'm doing change of it and hit save its not saving updated details , whats wrong in my approach.
The methods View,Create and Delete created like this approach working fine. only issue is this Edit method

A: Are you calling context.SaveChanges() anywhere? If not, call it after context.Entry(book).State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Modified; .

The figure depicts three different molecular structures of estrogen found in mammals' that differ by the arrangement of bonds and side groups. The molecular structures of the three estrogen molecules differ by the arrangement of chemical bonds and side groups attached to the core steroid structure, cholesterol, which contains three cyclohexane rings and one cyclopentane ring.
Subject: Theories, Processes, Reproduction
Beadle's One Gene-One Enzyme Hypothesis
Between 1934 and 1945, George Beadle developed a hypothesis that each gene within the chromosomes of organisms each produced one enzyme. Enzymes are types of proteins that can catalyze reactions inside cells, and the figure shows that each enzyme controls a stage in a series of biochemical reactions. The top box in this figure represents a normal process of enzyme production and biochemical reactions, and the bottom box shows how Beadle's experiments affected the normal biochemical process.
Subject: Theories, Processes
Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are composed of an outer membrane and an inner membrane. The outer membrane faces the cellular cytoplasm, while the inner membrane folds back on itself multiple times, forming inner folds, called cristae. The space between the two membrane layers is called the intermembrane space, and the space within the inner membrane is called the matrix.
DNA and X and Y Chromosomes
Y-chromosomes exist in the body cells of many kinds of male animals. Found in the nucleus of most living animal cells, the X and Y-chromosomes are condensed structures made of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones. The individual histones bunch into groups that the coiled DNA wraps around called a nucleosome, which are roughly 10 nano-meters (nm) across. The histones bunch together to form a helical fiber (30 nm) that spins into a supercoil (200 nm). During much of a cell's life, DNA exists in the 200 nm supercoil phase.
Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant and algal cells that conduct photosynthesis. A single chloroplast has an outer membrane and an inner membrane, with an intermembrane space in between. Within the inner membrane, interconnected stacks of thylakoids, called granum, float in a protein rich fluid called the stroma. These thylakoid stacks contain chlorophyll, a pigment which converts sunlight into usable energy for plants and free oxygen from water. The stacks are sites of light reactions within a plant cell.
Mechanism of Notch Signaling
Mechanism of Notch Signaling: The image depicts a type of cell signaling, in which two animal cells interact and transmit a molecular signal from one to the other. The process results in the production of proteins, which influence the cells as they differentiate, move, and contribute to embryological development. In the membrane of the signaling cell, there is a ligand (represented by a green oval). The ligand functions to activate a change in a receptor molecule. In the receiving cell, there are receptors; in this case, Notch proteins (represented by orange forks).
The Development of the Neural Crest and the Migration of Neural Crest Cells (NCCs) in the Embryos of Various Vertebrates
This diagram shows how NCCs migrate differently in rats, birds and amphibians. The arrows represent both chronology of NCCs migration and the differential paths that NCCs follow in different classes of animals. The solid black portion of each illustration represents the neural crest, and the large black dots in (c) and in (f) represent the neural crest cells. The speckled sections that at first form a basin in (a) and then close to form a tube in (f) represent the neural ectoderm. The solid white portions represent the epidermal ectoderm.
Some of the Cells that Arise from Animal Gastrulas with Three Germ Layers
From a developing embryos three primary germ layers, ectoderm (green), mesoderm (pink) and endoderm (yellow), a variety of differentiated cell types and organ systems arise, far more than are shown here. The three primary germ layers are shown during the gastrula stage because they become distinct at the gastrula stage. The germ cells (blue) are pre- cursors to sperm and egg cells, and they are set aside early in development, and are thought to arise from the ectoderm.
Sperm Capacitation
The male body, followed by male reproductive organs from which the sperm originates, is depicted from top to bottom at the left. Under the male reproductive organs is a diagram of a single sperm. To the right of the sperm diagram, the physiological and morphological changes a sperm undergoes to fertilize an egg are depicted from left to right. Each change is associated with a light pink rectangle background. Each light pink rectangle corresponds to the location of the sperm within the female reproductive organs, which is depicted above it.
Test-Tube Baby
"Test-tube baby" is a term used to refer to a baby produced through artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, also called IVF. During artificial insemination, a physician injects carefully selected sperm into a women's uterus to fertilize her eggs. During IVF, a trained professional harvests eggs from a female donor. Those eggs are fertilized with carefully selected sperm in a petri dish.
Subject: Processes
Rh Incompatibility in Pregnancy
Rh factor is a protein found on the outside of Rh-positive red blood cells. Rh incompatibility during pregnancy occurs when an Rh-negative mother is pregnant with an Rh-positive fetus. During delivery, the fetus' Rh-positive blood is introduced into the mother's body. The Rh-negative mother's body begins to produce antibodies that attack and kill Rh-positive blood cells. Since the crossover of blood normally occurs during delivery, an Rh-negative woman's first pregnancy is normally not affected.

Sale in aisle 5: Where are the biggest price chops?
Zillow ranks cities with biggest discounts and NY clocks in at No. 8
Nov.November 27, 2015 09:00 AM
By E.B. Solomont
Shopping for a home this Black Friday?
Seattle-based Zillow came out with a list of the top cities where buyers can snag the best deals on a new apartment or house.
The online real estate company, owner of New York City-based StreetEasy, took into account the city's percentage of total listings with a price chop, and also factored in how much of a discount was offered.
New York, where properties had a median discount of 4 percent, made the list of the top 10 cities with the biggest discounts. (New York City has seen its share of high-end sales that sold for under the asking price recently, at both One57 and 15 Central Park West.)
Zillow said the biggest median discounts can be found in Detroit (16.7 percent), and Cleveland (7.6 percent), followed by San Francisco (6 percent), Oakland, Calif. (5 percent) and Baltimore (5 percent). New York tied with Seattle for the No. 8 spot.
By Zillow's calculus, the city with the largest number of total price cuts was Albuquerque, N.M., where 24 percent of listings were discounted. Omaha, Neb., followed with 23.5 percent, and then Baltimore (23.2 percent), Milwaukee, Wis. (23 percent) and Jacksonville, Fla. (21.7 percent).

In such a scenario, it is often the owner or proprietor who takes on the extra load of keeping the books in order. And when that happens, there is a real danger of the business' core activities suffering. Of course, that doesn't mean that all businesses need to look offshore and hire bookkeeping services in India or elsewhere. If you are a boutique establishment with few clients and not a lot of work pressure, why would you want to hire an extra resource—even if that resource is extremely cheap?
So the question is, at what point should you start thinking of getting outside help to ease your bookkeeping responsibilities? Below is a list of five telltale signs that indicate it is time to get a professional to help you out.
Your company starts growing: This one's a no-brainer. As your business grows, it will require two very crucial things—the business owner's undivided attention, and an absolutely secure backend.
Any mistakes in bookkeeping might hamper the future prospects of the business. The moment you feel that the business is becoming too big for an ad hoc bookkeeping arrangement, start looking for bookkeeping services in India for an inexpensive but experienced virtual resource.
You start getting more customers: If you are pulling in more customers, congratulations! Your product/idea works. However, more customers also means increased revenue and increased paperwork. If you are drawing that bit extra, don't begrudge spending a bit more to keep your affairs in order.
You start becoming error-prone: If your current bookkeeping is error-prone and past records keep throwing up mistakes, then it is time to let the big boys in. You tried, but let's face it, it might not exactly be your forte. By choosing bookkeeping services in India, you will be able to get an experienced executive who will not only be able to bring your affairs to order, but also quickly identify and correct past mistakes. Hiring a professional will also help you stay on the right side of the law and avoid needless fines and penalties.
You are underemploying a valuable resource.
Your bookkeeping is costing you more than it should because the CA is doing it and they will charge their normal hourly rates, regardless of the work.
This obviously isn't a very clever way to function. If you have fallen into this sort of a work arrangement over time, it's time for you to rethink. Reduce your costs and hire experienced bookkeepers abroad. You heard how Spencer Freeman, CEO of Freeman and Sons Fire Restoration, benefitted from such an arrangement. Engage a CA only when you need to. Hence, it might be a good idea to hire a CA only part-time while employing a fulltime remote bookkeeper.
You start becoming bigger, but not better: Such a scenario is not as uncommon as you might think. Businesses often fail to fully capitalize on short term gains due to inept bookkeeping, which makes future planning mostly based on guess work. So while you might be gaining customers and hence revenue, the same does not reflect on the balance sheet due to poor bookkeeping. When something like this starts to happen, or if you fear that is the route your business will take soon, maybe it is time to look for a remote bookkeeping assistant who will be able to ensure that you reap the full benefits of any growth achieved over a period of time.
The above scenarios serve as indicators that a professional is required, and amateur bookkeeping will no longer do for your business. Whenever you hire a bookkeeper, remember that you must hire someone you can trust, since the person will be entrusted with a lot of sensitive information. In case you are hiring a bookkeeper overseas, it is wise to hire him/her through a reputed agency or consultant where you can be protected by ironclad service agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and internationally-recognized data security norms like GDPR.

Q: Web application needs to provide proper response header for UTF-8 downloaded files We have an application running Sun Glassfish app server with Java (JAXRS if it matters).  Part of the application allows the web client to download an XML file with UTF8 encoding.  (We need to support UTF8 for foreign languages.)  The problem is that the downloaded files, when saved to disk, lack the proper BOM bytes at the beginning.  My understanding of this is some editors (used subsequently to open the files) may not know for certain that the files are UTF8.
So the question is: what tells a browser/OS to save a downloaded file with the UTF8 BOM?  Is it something in the http response header?  Is it the xml declaration line that contains the encoding="UTF-8"?  A combination of both?  Thanks.

A: response header:
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
will do
i set my httpd to support utf-8 by default.
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

Sure these quick fixes work for awhile, but eventually they will leave you feeling more drained than before. Instead, we encourage you to make some changes in your diet: try eating these 10 high energy foods. Continue reading to learn how to get more energy the natural way.
Eggs – Eggs are loaded with nutrients including: vitamin A, vitamin E, B-complex vitamins, vitamin D, selenium, iodine, choline and many more. 1 Many of these nutrients are essential for improving energy levels. 1 Not to mention that an omelet is one of the tastiest breakfasts around.
Fruits – Fruits are a good source of potassium, vitamins, and minerals. Potassium is involved in the bodily mechanism that turns stored carbohydrates into energy. 2 Therefore, eating low to medium glycemic fruits in moderation may help give you more energy. We offer a Liquid Potassium Formula at an affordable price.
Almonds – It's true that almonds are high in fat, but it's all good fat! They provide your body with essential omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. 3 Almonds also contain: vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. 3 We offer a Liquid Vitamin E Formula that is easy to take.
Quinoa – Quin-what? Quinoa! Pronounced (Keen-wa) this ancient grain was used by the Incas. It is rich in magnesium, copper, iron, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. 4 Besides being great for nutrition, quinoa also has a low glycemic index for a steady energy release.
Flax Seeds – Flax seeds are packed with energy in the form of healthy fats! They are rich in alpha linolenic acid: a precursor to the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. 5 Flax seeds are also high in fiber. Grind them up fresh and add them to your yogurt or smoothies an extra boost!
Fish – Fish is packed with energy sustaining protein. Another great source of omega-3 fats in your diet is fish. The benefit of eating fish over flax seeds is that the omega-3's in fish don't need to be converted by the body. We also offer a Catalyzed Fish Oil Formula for easy omega-3 absorption.
Oats – Oats are high in fiber and a good source of complex carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates take longer to absorb into your bloodstream. Perhaps this is why oats offer a more consistent form of energy, without the energy spike and crash.
Turkey – Turkey is packed with protein to help regulate your energy levels. In particular, turkey contains high levels of the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin. The neurotransmitter serotonin is used by the body to regulate energy levels as well as mood.
Yogurt and Kefir – These fermented dairy products are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and good bacteria. Not only that, but eating yogurt and kefir may actually increase your absorption of calcium and the B vitamins.

Q: sql query to find customers who order too frequently? My database isn't actually customers and orders, it's customers and prescriptions for their eye tests (just in case anyone was wondering why I'd want my customers to make orders less frequently!)
I have a database for a chain of opticians, the prescriptions table has the branch ID number, the patient ID number, and the date they had their eyes tested. Over time, patients will have more than one eye test listed in the database. How can I get a list of patients who have had a prescription entered on the system more than once in six months. In other words, where the date of one prescription is, for example, within three months of the date of the previous prescription for the same patient.
Sample data:
Branch  Patient DateOfTest
1      1          2007-08-12
1      1          2008-08-30
1      1          2008-08-31
1      2          2006-04-15
1      2          2007-04-12

I don't need to know the actual dates in the result set, and it doesn't have to be exactly three months, just a list of patients who have a prescription too close to the previous prescription. In the sample data given, I want the query to return:
Branch   Patient
1       1

This sort of query isn't going to be run very regularly, so I'm not overly bothered about efficiency. On our live database I have a quarter of a million records in the prescriptions table.

A: Something like this
select p1.branch, p1.patient
from prescription p1, prescription p2
where p1.patient=p2.patient
and p1.dateoftest > p2.dateoftest
and datediff('day', p2.dateoftest, p1.dateoftest) < 90;

should do... you might want to add
and p1.dateoftest > getdate()

to limit to future test prescriptions.

A: This one will efficiently use an index on (Branch, Patient, DateOfTest) which you of course should have:
SELECT Patient, DateOfTest, pDate
FROM (
  SELECT (
    SELECT TOP 1 DateOfTest AS last
    FROM Patients pp
    WHERE pp.Branch = p.Branch
      AND pp.Patient = p.Patient
      AND pp.DateOfTest BETWEEN DATEADD(month, -3, p.DateOfTest) AND p.DateOfTest
    ORDER BY
      DateOfTest DESC
    ) pDate
  FROM Patients p
) po
WHERE pDate IS NOT NULL

A: On way:
select d.branch, d.patient
from   data d
where exists
( select null from data d1
  where  d1.branch = d.branch
  and    d1.patient = d.patient
  and    "difference (d1.dateoftest ,d.dateoftest) < 6 months"
);

This part needs changing - I'm not familiar with SQL Server's date operations:
"difference (d1.dateoftest ,d.dateoftest) < 6 months"

A: Self-join:
select a.branch, a.patient
   from prescriptions a
   join prescriptions b
   on     a.branch = b.branch
      and a.patient = b.patient
      and a.dateoftest > b.dateoftest
      and a.dateoftest - b.dateoftest < 180
group by a.branch, a.patient

This assumes you want patients who visit the same branch twice. If you don't, take out the branch part.

A: SELECT Branch
      ,Patient
  FROM (SELECT Branch
              ,Patient
              ,DateOfTest
              ,DateOfOtherTest
          FROM Prescriptions P1
          JOIN Prescriptions P2
            ON P2.Branch = P1.Branch
           AND P2.Patient = P2.Patient
           AND P2.DateOfTest <> P1.DateOfTest
       ) AS SubQuery
  WHERE DATEDIFF(day, SubQuery.DateOfTest, SubQuery.DateOfOtherTest) < 90

(Newser) – It's as eerie as it is breathtaking and surprising: a waterfall in Antarctica that runs blood-red. The appropriately named Blood Falls drops five stories from the Taylor Glacier and into Lake Bonney, its bright red hue like a wound through the glacier. The Smithsonian digs into the story behind the falls, which sit in the McMurdo Dry Valley and are accessible only via cruise ship or helicopter. It is, of course, not blood that colors the falls, which CNN reports were discovered in 1911 by a geologist traveling with Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the continent (the falls were not given Thomas Griffith Taylor's name, but the glacier was).

Charles Dickens to Mark Twain Show Striking Victorian Influence
Home » Charles Dickens to Mark Twain Show Striking Victorian Influence
Scholars disagree on the exact dates of the Victorian era of literature, but most accept 1837 to 1901, the reign of Queen Victoria, for whom it is named. Writers of the period focused on the upheaval industrialization caused in English life. The economy became global, an entrepreneurial middle class had arisen, and poverty was rampant. Charles Dickens, perhaps the era's most influential figure, used the serialized novel to write stories that directly addressed society's ills in a lighthearted tone accessible to average readers. His efforts made the novel the dominant medium of the period, and it deeply influenced American literature. This is most clearly seen in the writings of Mark Twain, who is sometimes called its father.
Dickens left school for a factory when his father was taken to debtor's prison. He began to see English society as striving to emulate the factory's efficiency. He later became the editor of a weekly journal, where his early experiences informed his writing. With each new work Dickens solidified the characteristics of the Victorian novel. His works were presented in serial form and dealt with societal issues such as the lives of children in English workhouses. Dickens satirized upper-class justifications for poverty, while romanticizing the struggles of the poor through characters that seemed to come alive. These would lead hardship-filled lives, but would eventually overcome via a combination of hard work, virtue, and perseverance. Many stories strove to show how childhood was sacrificed for financial gain, and the detrimental effect it had on society. As novels like Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and A Christmas Carol caused Dickens' fame to skyrocket, his style was emulated in England and the United States.
Mark Twain was born in Hannibal, Mississippi. He became a printer's apprentice, and a riverboat captain, before turning his attention to journalism. His novels were based on early experiences, featured characters that felt real, and satirized justifications for society's ills. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn focuses on the morality of slavery, and its effects on the nation. Here and elsewhere, Twain featured the Victorian formula of characters struggling through hardships and overcoming them with virtue and perseverance. Huckleberry Finn is widely seen as the first great American novel, inspiring writers for generations.
The Victorian era was crucial to two literary traditions. The shared style and themes of Dickens and Twain clearly show the influence of Victorian literature on American prose.

Just a few corrections, Mark Twain was born in Florida, Missouri not Hannibal, Mississippi. However he did grow up in Hannibal Missouri which is the setting for many of his books.

Mariano Barbasàn y Lagueruela
Biography of Mariano Barbasàn y Lagueruela ( 1864-1924 )
Spanish painter, Marianno Barbasàn takes a course in paintings in Saint Charles Society of Fine Art in Valencia from 1880 till 1887, when he makes friend with Joaquín Sorolla and Salvador Abril.

Barbasàn finaly settles in Rome and opens his studio within the Spanish Academy. He makes numerous excursions in the Roman province to research the inspiration in the nature. Although he initially painted works with historic character «Pierre III in the hillside of Panizas», he especially realizes paintings about landscapes and scenes of the rural life. His realistic style is influenced by the technique of the impressionists and by Fortuny's works. His work is very known in Europe, thanks to the intervention of English and German traders and to his numerous participations in exhibitions in Berlin, Munich and Vienna. He also goes in Montevideo Uruguay, in 1912 to realize two exhibitions in the Circle of Fine Arts.

Leak says a huge Avengers crossover movie is coming before Avengers 5
Brie Larson arrives at the world premiere of "Avengers: Infinity War" on Monday, April 23, 2018, in Los Angeles. Image source: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP
July 28th, 2020 at 11:50 AM
The only Marvel movie still set to premiere in 2020 is Black Widow, which will be released in early November if the coronavirus pandemic has died down enough by then.
With the MCU Phase 4 schedule delayed, Marvel isn't expected to make any announcements about its future plans for standalone Avengers movies.
A new rumor says a new "mini-Avengers" type of movie is coming even sooner than we thought, echoing a previous report that said this movie could set up Avengers 5 just like Civil War did with Infinity War.
Our biggest gripe with MCU Phase 4 is that there's no Avengers 5 movie in it — well, on top of the fact that the novel coronavirus forced Disney to delay all of its movie releases and pause production work. Phase 4 has no Fantastic Four or X-Men titles in it either. As we explained before, Phase 4 will be unlike anything Disney has done so far. Marvel will combine six movies and at least eight limited TV series into a single narrative. For the first time, TV shows will be used extensively to flesh out character arcs and offer more background to the story, and that's because Disney now operates a popular streaming service of its own and it wants to lure in as many subscribers as possible.
Add to all that the massive success of Avengers: Endgame, and you realize Marvel can't just come up with a new Avengers sequel right away. Marvel must give the audience time to get over Endgame and it needs time to introduce new superheroes and villains who will journey together towards what will hopefully be an epic Endgame-like finale. The new Avengers will soon be introduced in various Phase 4 films, and we'll get to meet mutants and the Fantastic Four in the not too distant future. But the first "mini-Avengers" movie is coming soon as well, according to a new report.
The concept of a "mini-Avengers" film has nothing to do with the rumored Young Avengers project that's reportedly in the works at Marvel. It's how a "reliable source with industry knowledge" described the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel that will supposedly include many important MCU characters.
The concept should sound immediately familiar because we've had one of those before. Captain America: Civil War is as much a Captain America episode as it an Avengers crossover film. Civil War–Infinity War–Endgame is actually the perfect trilogy of the Infinity Saga. You should watch all three of these films back-to-back whenever you want to revisit Endgame.
Getting back to Captain Marvel 2, the sequel is slated to launch on July 8th, 2022. While Marvel hasn't confirmed the film will be included in Phase 4, it also didn't reveal any Phase 5 plans. aside from Black Panther 2 which is tentatively set to be released on May 6th, 2022.
An unnamed reliable source told The Direct that Ms. Marvel will appear in the Captain Marvel sequel in a supporting role alongside other Avengers. The film will supposedly adapt the Secret Invasion comic storyline, which is a rumor that we've heard a few times before. A report back in mid-April said that Captain Marvel 2 will set up the next major Avengers movie just like Civil War did for Infinity War.
That rumor came from a trusted source who speculated that Captain Marvel 2's director could then helm Avengers 5.
Nothing can be confirmed at this time, especially considering that the whole MCU isn't exactly moving forward right now. Black Widow might be postponed again if the world can't contain the COVID-19 pandemic by November. Similarly, work on other MCU Phase 4 productions may be delayed again, depending on what happens with local outbreaks that can impact shooting. That means Disney is in no hurry to announce any plans beyond MCU Phase 4 until it can release Phase 4 projects in theaters and on Disney+. But these rumors certainly fit well with previous statements from Kevin Feige that said Captain Marvel will become the new leader of the Avengers.

Q: Is `MPI_COMM_WORLD` a bad idea if only pairs of ranks ever communicate? I have very little experience with MPI, so please forgive the naïveté of this question.
I have what I thought was a relatively simple MPI program: a large amount of independent tasks need to be computed, and assembled into a certain array. I do this by letting all ranks talk to rank 0, requesting new entries to compute, and reporting the result back to rank 0. Each communication is of the order of just hundreds of bytes, and always happens between rank 0 and any one of the other ranks. Is it a bad idea to keep all the ranks in the MPI_COMM_WORLD communicator in such a setup? Should I split into a bunch of separate communicators consisting or rank 0 & 1, rank 0 & 2, rank 0 & 3, … , rank 0 & n? Or is it OK to stay in MPI_COMM_WORLD as long as all communications just go to one other rank anyway?

A: Communicators are heavy-weight objects. Creating a new communicator takes time and consumes internal MPI resources.
It is better to create new communicators for the following cases:

*

*When different abstraction layers within your application need "safe"
communication scopes.

*When you need to subset the processes from a
parent communicator (e.g., you have a significant operation that only
needs to be performed by half the processes in MPI_COMM_WORLD).

*When you need to re-order the processes from a parent communicator
(e.g. your MPI processes have a logical ordering that is different
than their "native" MPI_COMM_WORLD rank).

In short: Only create new communicators when you need a whole new/safe communication scope, or you need to change your existing scope (e.g., subset and/or reorder the member processes).

"It's become apparent that the supercommittee has failed," said Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., at the beginning of a roundtable discussion about the 2012 farm bill held in Sioux Falls at the American Coalition for Ethanol offices Nov. 22.
The U.S. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., introduced the final conference report this week for an appropriations package that would not provide funding for a large portion of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Act (GIPSA) rule proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
