With GSoW Now Live there is lots of discusion about how Squads are Ranked on the new Squad Ranking Website.
The Sarlaac pit: Sandbagger squads are captured & confined here as they are slowly digested over thousands of years.
I expect this to be a popular / hot topic.
Re: GSoW Squad Ranking - Discussion Topic.
When will we see the Improved War Predictor on GSoW?
Currently the War Predictor on GSoW only shows projected Rank Changes for Wins and Losses but not Non-45 Ties. In a 45-45 Tie there is No Rank Change.
The current GSoW War Predictor, shown when you click on Matchups Tab on Squad Info Dialog Pop-Up, has the follow sentence.
Look for the open squad war predictor in a future release.
So the questions are when will the "open squad war predictor" be released and will it include projected rank in a Non-45 Tie War?
DeathStriker wrote: When will we see the Improved War Predictor on GSoW?
It will be released when it's ready. We cant give a specific date for anything the same way we couldn't give a date for the release of the site itself.
As for your other question, that is what we have planned but it still has to be worked out.

I want to take a min to remind everyone this is all being done by volunteers. In their spare time.
We are doing our best to gather and evaluate then prioritize every suggestion.
And there have been a ton! Some will happen. Some won't.
I will add I think the team is doing great at this so far. Far better than the game this site was designed to enhance.

I love the new site, and yourself Spock and the rest of the guys who are Involved their efforts are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work guys.
An interesting follow up question would be: Is the current war predictor based on the war party stats and the open one would be on the whole squad stats?
The answer would be neither.
The predictor uses a squads true skill, mu and sigma to do its calculations. These don't change based on who is currently in the squad or who is in the war itself.
The open predictor will be exactly the same but it will allow you to hypothetically predict against any squad. Not just the squad you are currently matched with.
So shouldn't ranking be based on Mu only ?
I just looked at the top 2 squads, PartyLikehavoc and Dark Brigade. They are in war against each other.
PLH is rank #1 by the system but the system predicted Dark Brigade to win. WTF !
It's like the system doesn't even trust its own ranking formula. LOL.
Another weird thing is that EVEN IF the number 2 squad manages to beat the number 1 squad, their rankings won't chamge and PLH will still retain top ranking.
DarkRebel wrote: So shouldn't ranking be based on Mu only ?
Haha. Maybe it should be. But it's not our creation. We didn't invent true skill, we just use it. Like any system there are pros and cons. And there are wonky results occasionally for extreme cases.
There are a few little things we can tweak with it though. The concern with doing that is the domino effect. But it's something that is disused and not out of the realm of possibility.
There are links to how it all works and the impact of mu and sigma on results and predictions in the faq on our site.
But man, that's some dry reading and I only know a few people who can make sense of it. I'm not one of them.

NGK Ignition Coil Vs Denso – A Real Comparison with Table
Are you confused about choosing between NGK ignition coil Vs Denso ignition coil for your engine? Undoubtedly, this is a tough task to identify the best spark coils between these. As spark plugs or coils play a crucial role in the mechanism of the automotive system, you can't skip the best. The common but considerable distinction is the durability and mileage expectancy.
NGK provides a shorter lifespan than Denso coils. Where Denso provides the highest performance an average of 50k to 70K miles or more, NGK is less than half of it. There is also a common difference in the price range. NGK ignition parts are available at a lower price than Denso. To know an in-depth comparison, read this comparison article till the end.
NGK ignition coil Vs Denso In Table
Content of comparison NGK Ignition Coil Denso Ignition Coil
Manufacturer NGK Denso
Made in Germany Japan, Indonesia, the USA, and China.

NGK ignition coil Vs Denso: Major Differences
There is so much confusion and doubt about these two spark coils. Now in this section, you are going to see the fundamental differences between them.
No doubt and confusion about the brand NGK have produced high-quality and durable ignition coils ever. By applying advanced and innovative technology, they produce spark coils for almost 95% of vehicles. Each and every coil exceeds OE performance to adjust perfectly. Technically, they are made in Germany.
On the other hand, original and genuine Denso coils are made in Japan, Indonesia, China, and the USA. When it comes to quality, service, transparency, and trust, you don't need to go for others.
Both are incredibly distinct in terms of structure. When looking at the upper point of the Denso's spark coils, you can see there are primary, secondary wire, and iron core. This allows the boots to secure firmly. But in the NGK spark coils, there are connector and coil cases.
Moreover, the central electrode is larger on the original NGK coils than Denso. Small electrode threaded can cause an issue on sitting well to the cylinder. But there is a perfect electrode in the NGK that produces proper combustion and ignition.
The design, however, is a great consideration before choosing vital parts of your automotive. Denso features a circuit onto the upper part of the ignition coil to integrate the driving and reduce size. This is why it is easy to install and perfectly attached to the right place.
Counters, the NGK has a precise design. On the top position, there is enough gap thread design for generating the highest combustion. Superior vibration resilience and rare short-circuit resistance make it exceptional.
In general, every ignition coil is made with Varnish and paper-insulated copper core. However, the NGK ignition coil is made of high-quality plastic materials as external parts. The boot protects the spring from harmful objects. A sensational epoxy resin with vacuum-sealed and high-grade thermal plastic for housing makes it durable.
Contrarily, the coil is made with higher-quality copper wires and coatings with the iron core in the center to resist pinholes. The primary and secondary wires surrounded the center. The materials are good enough to last longer and deliver longer service for a long time.
In this area, Denso is more satisfied than NGK. Denso is capable of consuming fuel efficiently and keeping away the engine hassle like starting problems.
In contrast, the NGK produces high voltage to spark with a spark plug gap that helps to burn the air-fuel mixture.
They come to serve different types of vehicles. Denso ignition coil is for Toyota, Lexus, Scion, and Pontic. This ignition coil is an incredible option for a smaller size engine and makes the engine work horsepower.
On the contrary, the NGK ignition coil is the perfect addition for any non-capacitive discharge ignition system. Any sports car or lifted vehicle or motorcycle used this ignition coil to increase speed. It covers almost 92%-95% of vehicle demand in a day.
OE quality, perfect coil, and high-quality epoxy resin ensure the durability of NGK spark coils. However, riding over rough and tough conditions is easy when your car has NGK. They provide standard service for a long time. It provides 25k to 30k miles of effortless riding.
Counters, Denso delivers more mileage than its counterpart. It provides 50k to 70k miles effortlessly.
Both provide optimum performance in different ways. The electromagnetic interface and block ignition coil have multiple ignition coils. It effortlessly turns the low-voltage into high-voltage. Single spark technology and duplet spark technology simultaneously arouse two-cylinder for better performance.
Denso combines advanced design with upgradable materials, it ensures dynamic performance and efficiency. By doing this, it extends the higher voltage.
NGK Spark Coils – Best Overall
NGK internal parts like the ignition coil are called the engine's power plant. Sound heart soothing, right? No doubt, these spark coils are specially made for ignition reliability. With rigorous construction and proper insulator copper wire, it is a highly praisable ignition coil. Not only this, it is enthusiastic to alter low-voltage into high.
However, it has variable winding and an iron core to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The OE feature makes it more durable and efficient. Also, original NGK products last longer than the average. Finally, the NGK trusts quality and uses standard central electrodes for better performance.
Denso Ignition Coils – Best for Budget
Denso, however, produces products that speak. What does it mean? It means they produce the perfect OE category ignition coils that require a car. When it comes to reliability, credibility, installation process, and top-notch performance, nothing is better than Denso. However, it offers on average 50k miles or more mileage without any troubles. The price is also not so high. The magnetic field surrounding the primary coil helps to produce more than 200 volts. The secondary coil has almost 100 times more coil than basic. After the magnetic field declines, it produces at least 20k volts.
No matter which branded car you ride or how much the price is. If you fail to install better and more efficient ignition coils, there is no value. So make your engine faster and workable by installing the right ignition coil. Both NGK and Denso ignition coils are better when it comes to performance. They both help to keep the engine workable. But there are still some differences between the NGK ignition coil VS Denso.
Hopefully, you understand which would be the perfect choice for you. If you want a high-quality ignition coil at a low budget, go for the Denso. But if you want high-quality and upgraded coils, you can go for the NGK.

For the discerning nerd
On a weekend that celebrated the 15th anniversary of HRH, this was actually my first time attending it in any capacity. Despite being a massive music fan and gig-goer I've never managed to get to an HRH weekend so far. Only really being aware of the headline bands and a couple of others further down the line up, I wasn't really sure what I was going to get and approached the entire affair with both an open mind and open ears.
The HRH awards took place on the Wednesday evening, but was limited to select ticket holders. From all the conversations I had with those who attended, it appears that it was an excellent evening that will be broadcast at a future date on Amazon Prime.
So, for me, the kick off was on Thursday afternoon, when LA Super Group The Mercury Riots started the party for the early bird arrivals and set the bar high for the rest of the weekend with catchy riffs and seamless harmonies.

Out of many discoveries over the weekend, it seems like the Australian Hard Rock scene is particularly impressive right now with acts like Black Aces, Wicked Smile and Cassidy Paris showcasing some of the current immense talent from that region. The energy, showmanship and musical talent of these acts was phenomenal and I would highly recommend catching all of them as they tour the UK in the coming months. Particularly, at just 19 years old, Cassidy Paris is a performer that displays a confidence well beyond her years and will absolutely be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.

Other highlights from the weekend included Irish six-piece BlockC, who displayed incredible talent and versatility as they swapped instruments and positions on the stage throughout their set. Winners of the HRH Young Blood award, White Raven Down, played a storming set on the main stage and grunge inspired The Kut got the crowd going on the Friday afternoon ahead of their forthcoming tour in support of Electric Six.

Other bands of note over the weekend that I would highly recommend seeing include The Gypsy Pistoleros, a Worcester based outfit that combined a unique look with punk rock and glam inspired music and one of the most interesting covers of Hotel California I have ever heard make them a must see if they are in your area. I cannot heap enough praise on Revival Black who, with guest frontwoman Kim Jennet, tore through the crowd and delivered one of the best live performances I have seen in quite some time. Special mention also goes to Country Rockers, The Outlaw Orchestra for the use of the most interesting instruments of the weekend incorporating Banjos and some other instruments that I don't even recognise into a thoroughly engaging set.
Revival Black (Photo ©2022 Simon Potthast)
A recurring sentiment from the bands over the weekend put over how important it is in a post-Covid era that people come out in support of live music. The eclectic offering over the course of the weekend is absolute testament to that fact and underscores how important is is for people to get out and see bands performing live. You could literally feel how happy the bands were to be able to be back in front of a live audience again and this was amplified by how responsive the crowd were to all the bands as the weekend progressed.
As for headline acts, the weekend did not disappoint with entertaining performances from rock legends such as Girlschool, Enuff Z'Nuff, The Darkness, Ugly Kid Joe and Skid Row.
Skid Row (Photo ©2022 Simon Potthast)
The whole weekend was a perfectly balanced offering of classic and contemporary rock bands showcasing the very best from around the globe and is well worth the ticket price to check out some old favourites and discover new acts in a friendly environment full of like minded music fans. Tickets are on sale now for HRH 16 from https://hardrockhell.com/

Biologists have found a gene that caused the human brain to evolve
It stimulates the development of a new cerebral cortex.
By adminnix 18 Sep 2022
The ARHGAP11B gene, which is present only in humans and stimulates the development of a new cerebral cortex, could play an important role in the evolutionary separation of humans and monkeys, experts from the Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics believe. Max Planck in Germany. They told about this in an article in the EMBO Reports magazine.
The new cerebral cortex (neocortex) is a region of the cerebral cortex that is almost undeveloped in lower mammals, while in humans it forms the main part of the cortex and is responsible for higher nervous functions, including conscious thinking and speech. Since research on great apes is prohibited in Europe for ethical reasons, scientists have grown organoids from stem cells – three–dimensional cellular structures several millimeters in size - of the human and chimpanzee brains.
The introduction of the ARHGAP11B gene into the organoid of the chimpanzee brain led to the active formation of stem cells intended for the formation of the neocortex, as well as an increase in the number of neurons in general. Blocking of the ARHGAP11B gene in human brain organoids caused a decrease in the number of stem cells for the formation of the neocortex to the same level as in the organoids of the chimpanzee brain.
In earlier experiments, the same group of scientists showed that ARHGAP11B can enlarge the primate brain. However, it was unclear whether this gene plays a role in the evolutionary increase of the human neocortex.
ARHGAP11B plays a crucial role in the development of the neocortex during human evolution. Given the important role of ARHGAP11B, it can be assumed that some neocortical malformations may be caused by mutations in this gene.

Southern Waxmyrtle is a broad-leaved evergreen native to the southeast corner of Oklahoma and along much of the eastern coastal plain. It has been described as the southern cousin of Bayberry and has a similar scent when new leaves emerge in spring. Southern Waxmyrtle can be grown as a large shrub, making an excellent naturalistic screen, or can be pruned to tree form exposing its light-gray bark. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen making it suitable on poor soils and it withstands bog-like conditions. Narrow leaf, compact, and dwarf cultivars are available extending the possible uses for this native shrub.
This species of Evening Primrose is native to western Oklahoma and 'Comanche Campfire' was selected for its ability to produce beautiful yellow flowers above red petioles and silver foliage. It is touted as a xeriscape perennial since it thrives in well-drained soil and, once established, requires little moisture. As a low-growing, clumping perennial, 'Comanche Campfire' reaches a height of 15 to 18 inches and spreads to two feet. Use it in a rock garden or along the edge of a perennial bed.

The City of Gaithersburg began in 1725 as a small agricultural settlement called Log Town. Gaithersburg's current name did not come about until the 1850s, following the inheritance of a portion of the land by Benjamin Gaither. Much of the area's early development centered around farming and the railroad, until the area became largely urbanized in the 1970s.
Modern-day Gaithersburg is considered both a suburb and a primary city in the Washington metropolitan area. The city is home to an estimated population of more than 62,000, making it the fourth-largest city in Maryland. It is considered one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the region.

For the fifth time in less than a month, the New York Times has published an editorial on Cuba, this time acknowledging the numerous futile attempts made by the United States to undermine stability in Cuba, in hopes of provoking an uprising against the government.
On Sunday November 9, under the title, "In Cuba, Misadventures in Regime Change," the influential paper's Editorial Committee reviewed the failed U.S. policy, and multiple attempts made to destabilize the country, since the approval of the Helms-Burton Act, in 1996.
The Times emphasizes that these subversive projects have cost the government 264 million dollars over 18 years, in a futile attempt to promote what it calls democratic reforms in Cuba.
The Times details how during the Bush administration, "Spending on initiatives to oust the government surged from a few million a year to more than $20 million in 2004. Most contracts were awarded, without much oversight, to newly formed Cuban-American groups. One used funds on a legally questionable global lobbying effort to persuade foreign governments to support America's unpopular embargo. Other grantees sent loads of comic books to the American diplomatic mission in Havana, bewildering officials there. The money was also used to buy food and clothes, but there was no way to track how much reached relatives of political prisoners, the intended recipients.

No kidding: Ex-Junior Bok world champion Jordaan retires to rear goats on family farm
Paul Jordaan (Gallo)
Former world under-20 champion Paul Jordaan announced his retirement from rugby on Friday at the age of 28 to rear Kalahari goats on his family farm in his native South Africa.
Register your interest for the British & Irish Lions tickets in South Africa 2021
Centre Jordaan lifted the world title in 2012 with the Junior Springboks on home soil before moving to La Rochelle in France four years later where he scored 10 tries in 46 appearances.
"I am done. I have decided that it is time to hang up my boots and start my life after rugby," he told SA Rugby magazine.
"We farm with sheep and goats. We have a couple of Kalahari red goats and we also have a hunting trip business with American clients," he added.
The former Sharks midfielder has already returned to the Eastern Cape after being released early from his contract with the Top 14 side.
"It has been a tough time with our business, because we have been going through a five-year drought," Jordaan said.
Jordaan's last game was in February 2019 in a loss to Stade Francais and has suffered with various injuries since a stand-out season when La Rochelle reached the Top 14 semi-finals two years ago.
"I feel like I have left rugby on my own terms. I was not forced out of rugby, I have done it on my own terms and I am now doing something that I really love. So, it actually hasn't been that tough."

US gas prices increase as Russia-Ukraine conflict continues
AAA Texas is reporting the average price for a gallon of unleaded gas is up nearly 50 cents from last week in most areas of the Valley, and a AAA spokesperson says the biggest reason is the conflict in Ukraine.
"It's been climbing at a much faster pace than normal and the big reason for that is the shock from overseas with what's going on between Russia and Ukraine," said AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster.
Dr. Salvador Contreras, an associate professor of economics at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, says Russia is the third-largest producer of oil in the world and the war between Russia and Ukraine is disrupting their oil supply.
"Refiners consume oil that are priced in world markets and the world market for oil has said that the price of oil needs to go up in part to reflect the fact that there's uncertainty about a major producer of oil being put offline," Contreras said.
Higher oil demand means higher gas prices, not just in the Valley, but globally.
In July 2008, AAA Texas recorded that the average price of unleaded gas in most of the Valley was $3.96, the highest it's ever been. Armbruster says current prices could soar past that.
"Anything can change at any time, but if we remain on this trajectory, we will be at $4 a gallon this spring without a doubt," Armbruster said.
Unfortunately, there isn't anything new people can do other than try to find ways to budget differently, and ultimately, find ways to use less gas.
"Driver behavior is the number one factor when it comes to fuel consumption, so adjusting your behavior behind the wheel is key," Armbruster said.
Some tips for reducing gas consumption include avoiding accelerating too quickly, avoiding speeding, limiting AC usage and reducing the weight of your vehicle by removing any items you don't need.

The girls were first one on stage, but after the first song Alexander appeared. The applause had hardly died down before Rybak began to play on the violin a melody familiar to his fans. The audience was especially pleased how the sound of the violin was mixed with the elements of rock and roll. The whole performance was accompanied by a dance group and the pianist Mikhail Orgesh.

The winner of "Eurovision-2009" was in a constant contact with the audience between the songs. Alexander admitted to one of the girls that she is very similar to his former romantic interest, and when he got to know that her name is Natalia too, he jumped down from the stage and danced with this lady. The audience took it very warm.
At the first row the fan zone for the most active ones was organized: the girls were waving the flag of Norway, where the hero of the occasion was portrayed, and they didn't hesitate to stand up during the performances. All in the audience stood up, when the final composition "Fairytale" started, which once brought victory to Alexander.

After the concert the fans rushed to the idol waiting for autographs and photo sessions. Alexander was talking to the girls and taking pictures with everyone for an hour.
Alexander Rybak – winner of the "Eurovision-2009" held in Moscow. He was born in Minsk, but almost all his life he lived in Norway, for whom he brought the victory. He maintains active musical activities in the CIS. In the fall of 2014 he announced the casting to select girls for creation the group "Milki" and participation in "Eurovision-2015", representing Belarus. Victoria Nazarko from Grodno, a soloist of a vocal ensemble "Millennium", hit the lucky top five.But in the national selection the quintet came third to the surprise of all. Rybak himself doesn't agree with the results.

Gemini Expands Into Australia, Will Airdrop Crypto to Celebrate
Author: Jimmy Aki
Gemini Exchange, the digital asset platform and asset custodian owned by the Winklevoss Twins, is taking on international expansion and ringing its services to Australian crypto customers.
Gemini was founded back in 2014, as a Trust company under the regulation of the New York State Department of Financial Services. The company was reportedly the first licensed Ether exchange in the world, and according to data from CoinMarketCap, it is the 81st-largest crypto exchange in the world with a 24-hour trading volume of about $36 million.
According to a press release shared by the exchange on Wednesday, Australian crypto enthusiasts can now download the Gemini mobile application from both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store to trade, buy, and sell major crypto assets. At press time, the assets supported by the platform include Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and ZCash. However, according to its website, it would seem that the Gemini Dollar, a stablecoin operated by the company, won't be available just yet.
Gemini serves 49 states in the U.S. (as well as Washington D.C.), and it has branches in the United Kingdom, South Korea, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Puerto Rico.
To celebrate the launch, the company would initiate a semi-annual Gemini Crypto Extravaganza; an event where Bitcoin and Ether are airdropped to participants in a bid to promote the exchange. Participation in the promo is open to everyone, including customers in the United States as well. Per the release, 5,000 BTC and 10,000 ETH are all up for grabs, and the extravaganza will only end when the assets are exhausted.
The news is coming off a revelation that the founders of the New York-based cryptocurrency exchanges will be "open" to the idea of joining the Libra Association, the governing body for the Libra stablecoin being developed by social media giant Facebook.
Earlier this month, CNN Business reported that Tyler and Cameron were willing to put their past legal issues with Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg behind them, as they saw a potential partnership with the social media company on Libra as a possibility.
As CNN noted, both men have already been in talks with Facebook about joining the Libra Association, which currently has about 28 founding members and is expected to expand to 10 by the time Libra tentatively launches in 2020. Undoubtedly, one of the remaining 72 slots could go to Gemini and the Winklevii, Mark Zuckerberg's most famous "frenemies."
The twins are known around the crypto space for being pro-regulation, as they have run ads advocating for more regulatory control of cryptocurrencies. Given their reputation, they could be valuable partners in the Libra Association, especially now that regulators and lawmakers have raised concerns about the asset and how it could ensure compliance with people who buy cryptocurrency.
However, Tyler and Cameron reportedly stated that they had more learning to do as regards the asset, as they would only be able to join the Association if they understood what Libra itself is and how listing the asset on their exchange could benefit them.
Jimmy has been following the development of blockchain for several years, and he is optimistic about its potential to democratize the financial system.

Q: Custom template deployment in Azure - Schema Error I am trying to upload a Storage account "template.json" file in Custom deployment in Azure.

            "denyEncryptionScopeOverride": false,
            "publicAccess": "None"
        }
    }
]

}

A: *

*You're deploying a Storage Account with hierarchical namespace (isHnsEnabled=true). Encryption scopes are not supported in those accounts (docs). To make your template work, you have to remove the defaultEncryptionScope and denyEncryptionScopeOverride properties on containers.

*Also, remove the empty protocolSettings and cors properties on the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices resource.
Final template.json, which deploys fine for me, looks like this:

I'm kind of doing some cheaper mods with me attending classes still, and kind of dressed up under the hood a bit with my new polished single-wire alternator, the wiring clean-up job, new radiator, steeda radiator bracket, etc etc etc... But my valvecovers look like sh*t... They have the silver paint on them thats flaking off and make my clean *** 4-eye look like it was a junkyard job.
Any recommended valvecovers that you guys like that look good and are an upgrade over stock as far as clearance goes? That WONT break my bank?
So far my air cleaner is polished Ford Racing and my alternator is also polished/chrome. My tensioner/alternator bracket kit is also polished.. So I like shine under my hood, haha.
These are my stock ones, with about $10 worth of VHT crinkle paint, and about 10 minutes worth of time with an angle grinder. Didn't like the stock look because they were in bad shape, but towards the end of my engine build I didn't want to spit out more cash for some valve covers.

Just when you thought it was safe to put your Lambretta on eBay, The Immediate kick-start up again from out of nowhere (Mold).
They give us 5 new songs (their first output since 2018's 'More Sheep Than Humans' album). The title track Men Like Us betrays a band that is incisive in both songwriting and performing, right down to the intricate detail. Yet, there is no self or over indulgence here, just great tunes played by great musicians
At the forefront of Richard and Duncan's bass and drums is Adam's voice. It has that familiar melancholic tinge as he sings; even when The Immediate are firing on all four during Parallels (which really does rock out), it's still there.
You'll notice the sleeve may indicate the first two tracks had been planned as a 7″ single, but like a lot of 'lowly' bands we are at the back of the pressing plant queue, and digital (and/or CD) is the only real viable way to get our music out there in 'real time' (at the moment). Parallels (Pulp Version) also pops up at the end of this fine EP (sounds even better cranked up).
Twisted Lies pays homage to those deceitful Etonians who quaff at our very existence, 'If you wanna tell lies, the future's watching you.' Great guitar sound and even greater break down that slides to the fade. Ghosts In The Machine calms things down (slightly), and when you think it's going a bit ballady it promptly ends!
There is the threat of a new album… I like being threatened.

Q: Binding WPF Control Name to different Control Have style for a series of buttons btn1, btn2, btn3, etc.
Inside the style for each button is a TextBlock for displaying the "Content" of the button, (since the border inside the style covers any content of the button itself).
Now, I would like for the TextBlock name to be tied to the button name.  For example - btn1's text block's name would be btn1Txt. The purpose of this would be the end user can assign each button its own text in a settings menu.
Any hints on how I would go about this?  I admit I'm relatively new to WPF and bindings.

EDIT::::  WHAT I"VE GOT SO FAR THAT IS WORKING.

On load, the program checks the settings file for the Text for each button.  Each button's content is assigned the proper information.  Then inside the style, I bind the TextBlock Text to the content of the parent button.
This may not be the normal way of going about it, but it works
Method
List<string> MainButtons = Properties.Settings.Default.MainButtonNames.Cast<string>().ToList();

        for (int i = 0; i < MainButtons.Count(); i++)
        {
            string actualNum = Convert.ToString((i + 1));
            var MainButtonFinder = (Button)this.FindName("MainButton" + actualNum);
            Console.WriteLine(MainButtonFinder.Name);
            MainButtonFinder.Content = MainButtons[i];
            Console.WriteLine(MainButtonFinder.Content);
        }

Style
<Style x:Key="MainButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="100px"/>
        <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="50"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                    <Border CornerRadius="20" Height="45" Width="100" Margin="0" Background="#FF99CCFF">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Path=Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="LCARS" Foreground="White" Padding="5px" FontSize="18px" />
                    </Border>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>`

A: This is the wrong way to go about what you're trying to do. Here's the "right" way to do it. There's a fair amount of boilerplate code here, but you get used to it.
Write a button viewmodel and give your main viewmodel an ObservableCollection of those:
#region ViewModelBase Class
public class ViewModelBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    #region INotifyPropertyChanged
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerMemberName] string propName = null) =>
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
    #endregion INotifyPropertyChanged
}
#endregion ViewModelBase Class

#region MainViewModel Class
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    public MainViewModel()
    {
        ButtonItems.Add(new ButtonItemViewModel("First Command", "First Item", () => MessageBox.Show("First Item Executed")));
        ButtonItems.Add(new ButtonItemViewModel("Second Command", "Second Item", () => MessageBox.Show("Second Item Executed")));
    }

    #region ButtonItems Property
    public ObservableCollection<ButtonItemViewModel> ButtonItems { get; }
        = new ObservableCollection<ButtonItemViewModel>();
    #endregion ButtonItems Property

}
#endregion MainViewModel Class

#region ButtonItemViewModel Class
public class ButtonItemViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    public ButtonItemViewModel(String cmdName, String text, Action cmdAction)
    {
        CommandName = cmdName;
        Text = text;

        Command = new DelegateCommand(cmdAction);
    }

    #region Text Property
    private String _text = default(String);
    public String Text
    {
        get { return _text; }
        set
        {
            if (value != _text)
            {
                _text = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }
    }
    #endregion Text Property

    #region CommandName Property
    private String _commandName = default(String);
    public String CommandName
    {
        get { return _commandName; }
        private set
        {
            if (value != _commandName)
            {
                _commandName = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }
    }
    #endregion CommandName Property

    public ICommand Command { get; private set; }
}
#endregion ButtonItemViewModel Class

public class DelegateCommand : ICommand
{
    public DelegateCommand(Action action)
    {
        _action = action;
    }

    private Action _action;

    public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;

    public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public void Execute(object parameter)
    {
        _action?.Invoke();
    }
}

Make that MainViewModel the DataContext of your Window:
public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    DataContext = new MainViewModel();
}

And here's how you can put it all together in the XAML:
<Grid>
    <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
        <GroupBox Header="Buttons">
            <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ButtonItems}" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Button
                            Margin="2"
                            MinWidth="80"
                            Content="{Binding Text}"
                            Command="{Binding Command}"
                            />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            </ItemsControl>
        </GroupBox>

        <GroupBox Header="Edit Buttons">
            <Grid>
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

                    ItemsSource="{Binding ButtonItems}"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                    >
                    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                <TextBlock
                                    Margin="2"
                                    Text="{Binding CommandName}"
                                    />
                                <TextBlock
                                    Margin="2"
                                    Text="{Binding Text, StringFormat=': "{0}"'}"
                                    />
                            </StackPanel>

                        <DataTemplate>
                            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">

                                    Text="{Binding CommandName, StringFormat={}{0}: }"
                                    />
                                <TextBox
                                    Margin="2"
                                    HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                                    Text="{Binding Text, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                                    />
                            </StackPanel>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
                </ContentControl>
            </Grid>
        </GroupBox>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

Back to your question:

Inside the style for each button is a TextBlock for displaying the "Content" of the button, (since the border inside the style covers any content of the button itself).

You're doing styles wrong. Very, very wrong. I can help you fix it if you show me the style.

A: As I understand what you want is to modify the "text" of the button, it occurs to me that you can do it this way.
<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="20"></RowDefinition>
        <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
        <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=ButtonTest, Path=Content, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" ></TextBox>
    <Button Name="ButtonTest" Grid.Row="1" Width="100" Height="40">
        <Button.ContentTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Foreground="Blue" Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock>
            </DataTemplate>
        </Button.ContentTemplate>
    </Button>

Coveted California wines. Curated for you. Delivered to your door (only within California).
The Local Cellar wine club is designed to share the taste of California with Californians (We can only ship within California). More particularly, we want to share some very hard to find wines, either because their production is limited or highly-allocated. With our longstanding friendships with our winemakers, we are lucky to have access to these fleeting gems.
On the first day of each season, you will receive a case of wines that reflect the season, both the arc of the California sun and the bounty of California fields and orchards. Each case will include a sparkling, whites, and reds, the proportions shifting with the seasons. Your shipment will arrive with background on the wines, tasting notes, and food pairing suggestions.
There are three paths for your Local Cellar Wine Club experience. Choose wisely.
These wines capture this very instant and are intended to imbibe before your next shipment arrives. Delicious and bright, fresh and distinct, these wines can be every day wines and special occasion delights.
These wines are for tomorrow's dinner and for a future anniversary. Six bottles will be in the spirit of Bottles of the Moment. Three bottles have been cellared for you and may just be at their ephemeral peak. The final three bottles call for patience (on which we will advise).
These wines are rare in two senses. Rare in their limited production, scarce availability, and cult following. Rare in their uniqueness, in their unfamiliarity, in the surprise of the new. For both of these reasons, we must limit the Limited Pioneers to twenty-four members.

A successful defence of one of the most challenging Partnership Visa Cases
Nowadays, any partnership based visa applicants should expect to be challenged a lot.
You should expect a phone interview (at least), or have to fly to Hamilton for individual interviews where each of the partners to be interviewed and observed by two officers in separated rooms. One officer interviews and the other officer observes and records.
Yesterday Immigration Trust had another successful case which was challenged by the case officer many times as the case officer was suspicious of the relationship of our client. Immigration Trust was contacted at the last minute.
Simon, our CEO, was engaged, and he communicated with the case officer to ask for an extension first. He analysed the situation and guided the client what to do. He defended the case with evidence and logic. The case officer came back with another PPI letter.
Simon prepared and went back to the case officer covering every point the case officer was asking. However, the case officer was adamant that if the work visa were granted, it would be 5th time when typical cases two times should be the limit.
Simon asked it to be the exception and negotiated with the case officer. The work visa was granted on the last day of the client's interim visa. What a drama but with a happy ending!
Immigration Trust is the leading immigration law firm, especially with the partnership visa category with many successful cases. You heard people saying "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". The same applies to immigration cases. As Immigration Trust has a reputation in the partnership visa cases, it attracts more clients.
With many successful cases, it attracts more. Immigration Trust ended up dealing with so many different scenarios and accumulated so much valuable experiences which benefits its clients. If you are interested in knowing whether your case is successful or not, try our service below.

While we finish the final moments of clean-up, and work through the final event wrap-up check list, we are reflecting on what you all did. You came together, filled a room with love and energy, showed your passion and appreciated others.
The festival organizers thank you: the volunteer, the friend, the vendor, the performer, the educator, the photographer, the writer, the sponsor, the sponsors staffer, the attendee, the supporter.
We don't know how this event could have been this fulfilling without each of you.
Parsing through your social media posts is continuing the dreaminess for us, and allowing us to know it wasn't just a dream. We're touched and proud that you felt the same way we did.
I'm watching LASKA perform (a trio of women) after having just watched Black Diary (another trio)... and a young woman leans over: "I'm having a Wonder Woman moment ... you know how you watched that and realized you subconsciously never thought a woman would have a superhero role? Well, I feel crazy, but this is that for me too."
We don't even realize this is the way we think. Until moments confront ourselves with our own prejudice.
Women can rule a stage. Women can be the only members of bands.
Day One has already landed our goal -> If You Can See It. You Can Be It.
Now let's get a woman in the White House, yeah?
Thank you for coming / supporting / being. Join us, again, tomorrow and Sunday.

Internationally famous, this is the metropolis that never sleeps, full of crazy energy, spicy food, and whether you're thirsty for a pub crawl, curious about the lady boys' infamous night show cabarets, or want to indulge in some retail therapy at the mega malls, there is something for everyone. It is in Bangkok that you can eat like a king and and have fish nibble at the dead skin on your tired feet. With so much royal treatment, there's even a gilded palace to stroll at your leisure.
No matter how short your stay is in Bangkok, you better have The Grand Palace on your agenda. Comprised of over 30 buildings, including golden stupas, gilded statues, grand courtyards, temples, and halls, there's enough gold to make King Midas jealous. Once exclusive only to the Kings of Thailand and his royal government, The Grand Palace is now one of Bangkok's most visited tourist attractions. There are dozens of tour groups that frequent the royal grounds, and it is impossible to take a photo without one, two, or a dozen photobombs behind and next to you. Still, Simon and I decided it would be worth it to rub sweaty elbows with fellow tourists just so we could be kings for a day.
Depending on where you stay in Bangkok, there are several ways to get to The Grand Palace. Our hostel was located in the popular Sukhumvit area, making it easy to hop on the Skytrain Metro and get off at the Saphan Taksin station, next to a ferry terminal on the Chao Phraya River. Once aboard the commuter ferry that was filled with tourists and locals alike, Simon and I steadied ourselves, as the boat pulled away from the dock, rocking sideways and bobbing up and down on top of the choppy murky waters. The ticket lady was shouting out something in Thai, while at the same time rattling what looked to be a rain stick filled with coins, that also doubled as a ticket dispenser. Small bills of the colorful Thai baht were organized in folded stacks between her fingers as she made her way to passengers that had just boarded the boat. Simon gave her our fare, which she deposited into the tube of change, and in return, from her change stick she ripped a small strip of paper that was to be our ticket.
Many of Thailand's temples require a dress code forbidding bare shoulders, tight clothes, or short hemlines. For the indecently dressed tourist, the temples often loan smocks, skirts, and pants free of charge during your visit. Having done our research beforehand, Simon and I arrived fully clothed despite the stuffy humidity that plagued the city. We whizzed by the inspecting officers at the entrance, but I almost wished that I disobeyed the dress code, so that I could borrow a colorful sarong with beautiful Thai print and blend into my surroundings.
Setting foot into the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, one is awestruck by all things gold and gilded. It is the most sacred temple in Thailand and the main reason why visitors flock to The Grand Palace. Larger than life statues, pointed spires reaching the heavens, and grandiose temple halls all vie for your attention. Between the massive golden stupa on the upper terrace on our left (the Phra Siratana Chedi), and the actual Temple of the Emerald Buddha itself to our right (the Wat Phra Kaew), Simon and I didn't know where to begin, except to take in the golden scene of the courtyard in its entirety, complete with the tourists that were all abuzz around us.
The royal grounds are expansive and I marveled at not only the sheer size of the stupas and high columns around the temples, but also the dizzying layout of buildings that seemed to clash yet also mesh together seamlessly. With every pavilion and courtyard we passed through, we glimpsed into a sliver of Thailand's history, with each cluster of buildings revealing the contributions of each successive king that ruled the country. Intricate details, symmetry, and repetition seemed to be a constant theme that covered all surfaces, making for incessant admiration from both afar and up close, inspiring the inner photographer in me. Walking barefoot around the outside of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, I admired the row of identical golden statues that lined the exterior, laid over ornate raised reliefs behind it. The walls and columns were covered from the floor to the sky high ceiling in mirrored tile mosaics that reflected a fragmented reflection of my own face filled with an expression of wonderment as I gazed upon them.
Simon and I quickly became spoiled by so many photo opportunities, and it didn't take long until our eyeballs glazed over with such excessive extravagance. Being kings for a day is easier said than done. After a busy day of promenading through the complex, Simon and I ended the evening at a fish spa, tickled funny as little fish nibbled at our royal feet.


One Heart, One Voice, One Mission – We are called to action!
Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP)—The 1% Program Since 1969, the League has been encouraging members to put aside one percent of the cost of all luxury and personal items purchased and funds raised by councils to go towards supporting CCODP partners working to improve the status of women in the Global South. These funds are having a real impact on the lives of thousands of women striving for a better future. Together, members are Strong Women Building Stronger Communities! The funds raised through the 1% Program in 2013–2017 are helping women in Afghanistan, Nigeria and Haiti. Is your council actively supporting the 1% Program?
 One Heart calls us to love, care for and serve our sisters in the Global South who need funding to start businesses as well as attend vocational and literacy training so they can help provide food and clothing to their families.
 One Voice calls us to inform members of the needs of women and young girls, especially in Afghanistan, Nigeria and Haiti. We are called to speak out for our sisters who face violence, conflict and barriers prohibiting them from receiving an education.
 One Mission calls us to serve women and children by donating one percent of our luxury purchases, such as spa treatments, pedicures, manicures, hair treatments, dresses, shoes, purses, etc. It doesn't stop at our individual contributions! We also ask that parish councils submit one percent of all funds earned to national office. Donations for the period of July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015, totalled $64,691.48, down more than $4,000 from last year and the lowest amount we have raised in the last five years. I challenge all of us to help increase donations by 15%, or 11 cents per member based on 85,706 members, for a total of $9,703.72. Or, let us reach $10,000. Can we make this goal a reality?
 Encouraging members and councils to contribute to this worthwhile venture. CCODP needs all the support and help we can provide.
 Ordering the new brochure from national office to share with members.
 Viewing the community life PowerPoint presentation explaining the 1% Program that can be found on the national website under "Resources / Programs and Workshops / Community Life." Help educate members by showing this presentation or view it yourself so you are informed.
Velma's Dream began with Honorary Life Member Velma Harasen visiting the Holy Land in 2010. She was compelled to take action after witnessing various injustices. Thus, a League initiative with the Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA) began. Two projects were identified―The Shepherd's Field Hospital and The Infant Welfare Centre.
 Shepherd's Field Hospital is a cooperative run by Christians in Beit Sahour, Bethlehem, close to where Jesus was born. The hospital is a maternity hospital with a small emergency clinic that tends to patients and maternity issues. The hospital provides health care to the poorest mothers and babies by supplying the costs of blood sugar laboratory tests for pregnant women, clinic care for newborn babies, and 650 mothers and babies with vitamins and supplements.
 Keeping the funds flowing as we continue to help those most in need. Donate to Velma's Dream projects by sending your cheque to CNEWA Canada at 1247 Kilborn Place, Ottawa, ON K1H 6K9, or you can call 1-866-322-4441 or donate online at www.cnewa.ca.
Pope Francis has asked us to concentrate on taking action with both spiritual and corporal works of mercy during this year that will begin on December 8, 2015 and end on December 20, 2016. I would be interested in knowing how your council will be celebrating or taking part in various activities over the next year. Please e-mail your ideas to me at info@cwl.ca.
God Bless you as we work together "For God and Canada." In the work we do, may Our Lady of Good Counsel guide us to always answer the call of Jesus. Together, we are a great and wonderful team of women doing what we can for God, Canada and beyond!

GPs should not worried about 'offending patients' in helping them lose weight
25 October 2016 By Iona Twaddell
GPs opportunistically offering patients the chance to attend a weight loss programme in a routine consultation is effective and only takes 30 seconds of GP time, a study in the Lancet has found.
The randomised trial by researchers from the University of Oxford included almost 2,000 patients attending a consultation unrelated to weight loss and found that those offered a 12 week weight management referral lost on average 1.43kg more than those who weren't.
The authors concluded that GPs should not be concerned about discussing a patient's weight with them.
The study involved 137 GPs and 1,882 patients in the south of England with participants having a BMI of at least 30 (or 25 if of Asian ethnicity) and a raised body fat percentage.
At the end of the consultation, half of the participants were offered a 12 week weight management referral while the other half were advised that losing weight would benefit their health. Both these interventions lasted 30 seconds.
For who accepted the referral to the weight management programme (which was free on the NHS), the GP ensured the first appointment was made and offered follow up.
Both groups of patients lost weight 12 months later, but those in the referral group lost on average 1.43kg more than those in the control group (2.43kg compared to 1.04kg).
Around 77% of those offered the weight management treatment agreed to take part, and 40% of those offered it attended.
In total, 81% of people in both groups found the intervention appropriate and helpful. Over the course of the study, a similar proportion of both groups had taken some action to lose weight, but five times more people in the referral group (54%) took effective action than in the control group (11%).
The authors said that this intervention was cost effective, saying the 30 seconds of GP time costs around £1.45, and the 12 week weight loss programme costs around £50.
Booking the place on the programme could be done by GP admin staff for £0.76 - the cost of the two minutes to take a convenient time and transfer voucher details. Overall, the cost per kg loss over the 12 months was about £16.
In the study the authors said that this is the first study approaching people opportunistically when people were not consulting about their weight. They said: 'Guidelines recommend that physicians offer brief opportunistic interventions to patients who are obese, and, to our knowledge, this trial is the first to directly support these recommendations.'
Professor Paul Aveyard a GP and lead author of the paper based at the University of Oxford said: 'Doctors can be concerned about offending their patients by discussing their weight, but evidence from this trial shows that they should be much less worried. Our study found that a brief, 30 second conversation, followed by help booking the first appointment onto a community weight loss programme, leads to weight loss and is welcomed by patients.'
He added: 'On average, people consult their doctor five times a year meaning there is huge opportunity to deliver this low cost intervention on a large scale.'
Dr Imran Rafi, RCGP chair of clinical innovation and research, said: 'Obesity related conditions – which are continuing to rise across the UK - cost the NHS billions every year, and if this scheme is low cost and effective, which this research claims it is, it makes sense to consider it on a wider scale. However, the costs and benefits should be constantly evaluated in terms of patient care and the wider NHS.
'We must understand that while some patients in this study did benefit from a referral to a weight loss programme, it won't work for everyone and shouldn't be considered as a blanket solution to curb growing levels of obesity.'

except our local council has stopped funding the local weight loss program, combining this with punters that do not want to pay for anything....

I see they were willing to help a BMI of just 30. Our local weight management service now excludes anyone with a BMI less than 45 unless they have co-morbidities. So now when I ask them if they want help to lose weight and they do, I tell them it's a terrible shame, they have to go away and get a lot fatter before Greater Glasgow and Clyde deems them worthy of helping.

What a lot of poor "research" produced by academics who do not see any patients?
Have to go now sorry......carry on offending patients for not finding jobs...and vote for Brexit.
Wait till they complain to NHSE, GMC and the ombudsman and you spend years of your life defending yourself and trying to prove you are not racist, sexist or weightiest. The country will get the GPs they deserve unless GP get some rights and protections.
To be fair although we get the usual nonsense from a Professor about a "huge opportunity" this is balanced by the more sensible real world comment from Dr Rafi-"However, the costs and benefits should be constantly evaluated in terms of patient care and the wider NHS"
Societal problem being pushed our way again. I didn't train for over 10 years to tell someone they need to lose weight. Everyone knows this. They don't need to see a GP to work out they're too fat.

But we cant call them fat - especially fat Norwegians;

30 secs?? I assume that doesn't include filling in referral forms as that'll take at least 30 secs in it's own right.
Even if it "only" took 30secs, that's 5% of our consultation time. I would quite happily kill anyone who tries to tell me I have 5% more to contribute in my daily work

I have appraised two GPs who have totally given up opportunistically advising patients to lose weight after receiving complaints. "It's not what I came for, it's none of your business and anyway I hardly eat a thing."
Anonymous | Sessional/Locum GP25 Oct 2016 3:36pm
I always love that scenario when you have managed to diplomatically raise the subject of excessive weight and it's consequences and the patient says "So how do I go about losing weight then Doc?". You know then that it will never happen


Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Meeting my favorite Disney characters is one of my favorite parts of our family's Walt Disney World Resort vacations. In fact, my little guys tell me all the time who they would like to meet during our next trip and they are compiling quite a list for our fall vacation! Meeting Jack Skellington is such a special opportunity and his Meet 'N' Greet is generally only available during the specially ticketed holiday events at Magic Kingdom. In past years, you could meet Jack Skellington with Sally at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Jack dressed up as Sandy Claws at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. While all details have not yet been released for this year's parties, meeting Jack has always been incredibly popular, so I expect him to be back this holiday season and I highly recommend that you get in line to meet him early! Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog over the next few months for updates on this year's party.

I believe that human relationships are the only threads that ensured the survival of society. I want to help others walk the right path. I know I will not be able to fight other people's battles for them, but I want to help them defeat their personal demons. I feel as if I have lived my life on the bridges between different worlds, but I finally see that I can best help others by sharing my experiences and compassion with people.


The Philadelphia & Reading Railroad built a magnificent passenger station in Tamaqua in 1874.
Center of Town. Two major highways intersect here.
Described by many as the "best entertainment venue in the region."
Once called by a visitor, "The dirtiest town I've ever seen."
Tamaqua is gritty in the truest sense of the word - a town possessing determination to improve.
An old boot factory on Hazle Street became an attractive, fully-up-to-date dwelling for 14 individual households.
State Sen. Dave Argall and (former) TACP Chairperson Pat Freeh-Stefanek provide details on re-purposing an old building.
The Depot Square Park was created to compliment the renovated Victorian-era train station in the heart of downtown.
The water fountain in the park is now a centerpiece and a welcome place for Tamaqua residents and visitors to sit back and relax.
Community residents filled Performing Arts Hall to take part in the 20th Anniversary Annual Meeting of the Tamaqua Area Community Partnership.
TACP Chairman, Lee Shafer, called the meeting to order.
