Q: SimBiology simulation not working I am trying to simulate a model (using the sundials solver) in MATLAB and I get the following error:
CVODES returned -4 from module CVODES function CVode: At t = 0 and h = 1.3093e-009, the corrector convergence test failed repeatedly or with |h| = hmin.
I cannot find anything on the internet regarding this error.
What does this error mean? How can I fix this?

A: This error is described in the CVODE documentation as "Convergence test failures occurred too many times during one internal time step or minimum step size was reached.
In less technical terms, it means you probably have some "bad math" in your model. Since this error occurs when simulation time = 0, it likely means you have a problem with your initial conditions. Maybe you have an initial assignment or repeated assignment that results in NaN (not a number, like 0 divided by 0) or Inf (infinity).
To debug the problem, you could try setting the simulation stop time to 0 and looking at the results. Make sure all the numbers make sense. If they do, then plug all of those numbers into any reaction rates or rate rules and make sure those make sense.
If you're still stuck and you can share the model, then the SimBiology development team might be able to help you. (I'm one of them.) The best way to reach us is to contact technical support. But in a pinch, you can try contacting me directly.

This tutorial explains how to check which Group Policies are applied to your Windows 10 PC as well as current user account. You might have applied multiple local group policies and might want to know which Group policies are currently active. There are 2 methods to find that out. You can see which group policies are set for the whole PC and which policies are set for the currently logged in user account.
The first method covered in this tutorial provides Group Policy like interface, but shows only those folders and policies that are applied to your PC and user account. The second method helps to check group policies using commands, but that is also very easy to use. Before starting, do note that Group Policy is available in Enterprise and Pro versions of Windows 10 only. It is not available in Home Edition (unless you have used some third-party software to install Group Policy in Home Edition).
Let's begin with the first method.
Resultant Set of Policy window is similar to Group Policy window. The difference is that it shows only those group policies (including some security settings) that are currently active on your Windows 10 PC and for the current user account. Also, you won't be able to change the status of any policy. It is just a viewer. Let's see how to find which group policies are applied to Windows 10 using this window.
Step 1: Use Search box and write rsop.msc. Hit 'Enter' key and then Resultant Set of Policy window will open.
Step 2: It has the interface similar to Group Policy. On the left side, you will see Computer Configuration and User Configuration menus. Use Computer Configuration menu to view applied group policies in the whole PC and use User Configuration menu to see which group policies are applied to currently logged in user. Just expand the menu, then folder, and you will be able to see which policies are applied.
Step 3: You can also double-click on a policy and see its current status (enabled or disabled) along with information.
Step 1: Run Command Prompt with Administrative rights. You can do this by typing cmd in Search area, right-clicking on Command Prompt option, and selecting Run as administrator option.
Step 2: To view applied group policies for current user, your command is: gpresult /Scope User /v. Enter the command and execute it.
Step 3: A long list of information will be visible. Information is related to user settings, type of security privileges available for user, etc. You can look at that information and scroll down to find Resultant Set of Policies for User section. This is the section that shows applied group policies for that user. You will be able to see folder name (like Administrative Templates) and path for a particular group policy. You can also check if that group policy is enabled or disabled.
Step 4: In this step, we will see if there are some group policies that are applied to the whole Windows 10 PC. For this, you need to type and execute the following command: "gpresult /Scope Computer /v". As you can see, the command to view applied group policies for the whole PC is similar to view group policies for current user. The only difference is that in this command we have used Computer in place of User.
Step 5: After executing the command, you will see detailed information related to OS, Computer Settings, type of security groups for which your PC is a part of, etc. Scroll down the list and you will see "Resultant Set Of Policies for Computer" section. If there is some group policy applied to your computer, you will be able to see those policies.
You can see the policy folder, path of that particular group policy, and status of that particular policy which is applied to your PC.
You should also try How To Disable Read, Write Access of Removable Storage devices in Windows 10 and How To Set Total Number of Failed Login Attempts In Windows 10.
These are two very simple methods using which you can check which group policies are applied to your Windows 10 PC and/or current user. Instead of manually finding which group policies are applied using Local Group Policy window, these two methods are much better. I find method 1 easier and better than method 2 because Resultant Set of Policy window has the interface like that of Group Policy window and finding the applied policies is quite easy in this method.


These Valentine's are a unique and easy craft for the whole family!
Hot glue, glue, tape, etc.
Empty out your Coca-Cola bottles, (if they aren't already empty) preferably by drinking them. Remove the label and wash off and residue on the outside. Then, wash the bottles out with hot water and soap and make sure they are completely dry on the inside.
Decorate! However you choose! As shown above, two pieces of ribbon were used. One around where the label sat, and one around the top.
In this model, there is also a card strung by the top ribbon. To do that, create or buy a card, punch a hole in the top corner of the card. String the ribbon through the hole and tie around the bottle.
Once your bottle is completely decorated how you like, fill it with the assorted candy you chose!

Q: Animate view to fullscreen (Card to detail) Im trying to replicate the cards from the Appstore's today tab.
This is what I have so far:
struct ContentView: View {

    @State var showDetail = false
    @State var selectedForDetail : Post?

    var posts = [...] // Just sample data: Post(subtitle: "test1", title: "title1", extra: "Lorem ipsum dolor...") etc.

    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            ScrollView{
                ForEach(self.posts){ current in
                    PostView(post: current, isDetailed: self.$showDetail).onTapGesture {
                        self.selectedForDetail = current
                        withAnimation(.spring()){
                           self.showDetail.toggle()
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            if showDetail {
                PostView(post: selectedForDetail!, isDetailed: self.$showDetail).onTapGesture {
                   withAnimation(.spring()){
                        self.showDetail.toggle()
                    }

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct PostView : View {

    var post : Post

    @Binding var isDetailed : Bool

    var body : some View {
       VStack(alignment: .leading){
           HStack(alignment: .top){
               Text(post.subtitle)
               Spacer()
           }.padding([.top, .horizontal])
           Text(post.title).padding([.horizontal, .bottom])
           if isDetailed {
               Text(post.extra).padding([.horizontal, .bottom])
               Spacer()
           }
       }
       .background(isDetailed ? Color.green : Color.white)
       .cornerRadius(isDetailed ? 0 : 16)
       .shadow(radius: isDetailed ? 0 : 12)
       .padding(isDetailed ? [] : [.top, .horizontal])
       .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
   }
}

struct Post : Identifiable {
   var id = UUID()
   var subtitle : String
   var title : String
   var extra : String
}

It works so far that pressing a PostView shows a detailed PostView in fullscreen. But the animation looks way off. I also tried to follow these video tutorials:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOQWAzsKi4U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gDtf22TwW0
But these only worked with static content (and no ScrollView. Using one results in overlapped PostViews) or didn't look right..
So my question is how can i improve my code to get as close as possible to the todays tab in die Appstore? Is my approach even feasible?
Thanks in advance

A: Please find below your code modified to fit your needs
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var selectedForDetail : Post?
    @State var showDetails: Bool = false

    // Posts need to be @State so changes can be observed
    @State var posts = [

    ]

    var body: some View {
        ScrollView {
            VStack {
                ForEach(self.posts.indices) { index in
                    GeometryReader { reader in
                        PostView(post: self.$posts[index], isDetailed: self.$showDetails)

                                self.showDetails.toggle()
                            }
                        }
                        // Change this animation to what you please, or change the numbers around. It's just a preference.
                        .animation(.spring(response: 0.6, dampingFraction: 0.6, blendDuration: 0))
                        // If there is one view expanded then hide all other views that are not
                        .opacity(self.showDetails ? (self.posts[index].showDetails ? 1 : 0) : 1)
                    }
                    .frame(height: self.posts[index].showDetails ? UIScreen.main.bounds.height : 100, alignment: .center)
                    .simultaneousGesture(
                        // 500 will disable ScrollView effect
                        DragGesture(minimumDistance: self.posts[index].showDetails ? 0 : 500)
                    )
                }
            }
        }
    }

                if(self.isDetailed) {
                    // Close Button
                    Button(action: {

                        self.isDetailed.toggle()
                    }) {
                        Text("X")
                            .frame(width: 48, height: 48, alignment: .center)
                            .background(Color.white)
                            .clipShape(Circle())

                }
            }.padding([.top, .horizontal])

            Text(post.title).padding([.horizontal, .bottom])

            if isDetailed {
                Text(post.extra).padding([.horizontal, .bottom])
                Spacer()
            }
        }
        .background(isDetailed ? Color.green : Color.white)
        .cornerRadius(isDetailed ? 0 : 16)
        .shadow(radius: isDetailed ? 0 : 12)
        .padding(isDetailed ? [] : [.top, .horizontal])
        .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
    }
}

struct Post : Identifiable {
    var id = UUID()
    var subtitle : String
    var title : String
    var extra : String
    var showDetails: Bool = false // We need this variable to control each cell individually
}

If any explanation is needed please let me know.
Note: I added a showDetails property to your Post model, this is needed to control individual cells. Keep in mind best practice is to separate that into a different array to take care of whats visible and what not but this will do for now.
Also note we are looping through indices of our array and not the objects, this way we have flexibility of choosing what to show.

– Thomas L. McKenney (1785–1859), the nation's first superintendent of Indian affairs (1824–1830), was an avid admirer of the Indian cultures of North America.
He was instrumental in bringing Indian delegations to Washington, D.C., in an effort to promote Indian welfare. He was deeply concerned about what he perceived to be the destruction of Indian tribal cultures as white settlement advanced and the government increasingly promoted Indian removal policies. He therefore conceived a plan to preserve Native histories by gathering artifacts, texts and images for a War Department archive and a gallery of Indian portraits.
Among the tribes represented in the exhibition are the Omaha, Pawnee, Winnebago, Creek, Sioux, Sac, Iowa, Meskwaki, Seneca, Ojibwa, Osage and Oto.
When Indian delegations visited Washington D.C., in the 1820s and 1830s to meet with government officials, McKenney regularly took individual delegates to the studio of artist Charles Bird King to have their portraits painted. Between 1822 and 1837, McKenney was able to amass 147 portraits as well as Indian artifacts that he placed in an exhibition housed in the War Department.
In 1858, McKenney's Indian Portrait Gallery was moved to the Smithsonian Institution, where in 1865 a fire swept the building and destroyed all but four of the portraits in the collection. Fortunately, the portrait record was not totally lost as King had made duplicates of some of his Indian portraits, and more importantly, McKenney hired portrait painter Henry Inman to copy King's portraits for a project he conceived in 1829.
McKenney's plan was to produce a "History of the Indian Tribes of North America" illustrated by gorgeous hand-colored prints based upon the painted portraits, with historical and biographical text by the Cincinnati lawyer James Hall. The realization of McKenney's immense project spanned 15 years from 1829 to 1844 and resulted in the publication of a magnificent three-volume portfolio containing 127 portraits, one of the most important American publications ever produced.
In addition to more than 60 hand-colored lithographs from the McKenney-Hall publication, the exhibition also includes Joslyn's superb Charles Bird King oil portrait of Shaumonekusse, three Indian portrait paintings copied by Inman from the King originals (loaned by Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe) and used as the models for the lithographs, a peace medal typical of those presented by the federal government to Indians visiting Washington, and Joslyn's three-volume set of the "History of the Indian Tribes of North America," formerly in the collection of King Leopold II of Belgium.

Investment in Renewables in Scotland – a Success Story
Scottish wind turbine manufacturer Gaia-Wind Ltd today announced positive results based on continued sales growth and significant operational developments.
The business is growing faster than the market;
Sales growth from one turbine per week in Dec 2009 to, on target for 250 turbines in 2011 and aiming for double this in 2012;
Positive Business Growth for Small Wind Turbine Company: Gaia-Wind Investment in UK manufacturing supports strong sales growth Scottish wind turbine manufacturer Gaia-Wind Ltd today announced positive results based on continued sales growth and significant operational developments.
"In a challenging sales environment, we have made excellent progress" said Gaia-Wind CEO Johnnie Andringa. "Since moving our headquarters from Denmark to Glasgow in 2006, we have generated more than 30 jobs in our UK company, not to mention the immediate service and supply chain, with the potential to double this figure in the coming years."
Gaia-Wind created, in March 2011, a world class Global Hub integrating R&D, design engineering, assembly and testing, as well as global distribution and supply chain management – all on one site in Glasgow
According to the FIT register Gaia-Wind had about 30% unit share of installed turbines in the 10-20kW range over the 15 months leading up to June this year
2011 sales expected: £7.5 million, from £4.1 million last year and up from £33k in 2007; the first year the company was registered in the UK
Around 80% of sales in the UK with interest from Europe and the United States growing. In June the Gaia-Wind 133-11kW was given the best rating of the top 24 turbines available in the US
Gaia-Wind has more than 350 turbines installed worldwide providing around 1255 years operational experience
Gaia-Wind believes the results reflect a positive step-forward for the UK's developing small wind turbine industry as a whole. The Scottish Government has stated its ambition to see every farm in Scotland benefitting from renewable energy and Gaia-Wind intends to play its part in achieving this goal.
Andringa continued:
"Being transparent about performance, potential return on investment and help with planning are key to helping our customers join the green energy revolution. Gaia-Wind is currently addressing these issues via road shows, and meetings. We also contribute to industry steering groups addressing planning concerns.
"We have seen some criticism of other vendor product claims in the renewables field. So we agree with UK Energy Minister, Charles Hendry, who cites the MCS scheme as the best consumer protection mechanism and the MCS Steering Group which acknowledges that in the case of small wind turbines in particular, the over-riding concern is for quality and consumer protection.
"To ensure reliability and safety in the product, companies like Gaia-Wind have invested very substantial sums in R&D of their small wind turbines, and in particular in the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
"A crucial by-product of MCS is that turbines have to be independently tested. For the first time potential investors in small scale renewables can compare vital like-for-like characteristics that have been independently measured and published as part of the MCS process. Claims about, for example, small wind turbines' noise levels, production capability and therefore potential financial returns can be compared for credibility against the MCS data.
"Renewables companies have got to be able to back up their sales techniques with the facts. At Gaia-Wind for example:
• The Gaia-Wind turbine is the most productive and quietest MCS certified turbine in the 10-20kW range
• Gaia-Wind builds turbines using high quality off-the-shelf (rather than bespoke) components – so customers are always assured of the long-term availability of spare parts
• The turbine is UK MCS approved and eligible for the feed-in-tariff; rigorously tested in the USA and has had Danish HBO certification for over 10 years
• More than 350 turbines have been "in the ground" for a combined operational time of more than 11 million hours. That's over 1,255 years.
• In Denmark, 77 of our Gaia-Wind turbines have been running for more than 10 years."

Q: Нужно найти определённый символ в строке URL, потом удалить все символы после него  и его! http://shop.local/podsection?id=2&ids=6

Должно остаться
http://shop.local/podsection

Последовательность символов после знака ? может быть разной длины и содержания.
Если можно, то функциями php, плиз.
A: $url = 'http://shop.local/podsection?id=2&ids=6';

$parts = parse_url($url);

echo $parts['scheme'].'://'.$parts['host'].$parts['path'];

A: Однострочник
$strippedUrl = reset(explode('?', $url));

Ущербный однострочник
$strippedUrl = substr($url, 0, (($pos = strpos($url, "?")) !== false) ? $pos : strlen($url));

Правильный подход
Описан в ответе выше. Его кардинальное отличие в том, что мы работаем с URL, как с URL. Это не дает конкретных преимуществ, но придает приложению большую конкретику и ее поведение становится более ожидаемым.
A: preg_replace("/\?.*/", "", "http://shop.local/podsection?id=2&ids=6")

A: <?php if (preg_match("/.*?\?/",$this->url->getThisURL(),$url) { ?>// функция выбирает текущий URL
<?php include "krohi.tpl"; ?>
<?php } ?>

Типа так? Если бы вы объяснили поконкретнее, то я мог бы дать вам и ответ поконкретнее. В текущем коде если найдена ссылка, что помещена в getThisURL, то в $url[0] будет помещена эта ссылка, и произойдёт инклуд некой крохи.tpl.

Q: Returning PayPal Transaction ID I am developing a Paypal form on my website, but am having a problem retrieving the Transaction Id. The way that I have done it before doesn't seem to work anymore.
In my form I have a php return page that gets the Transaction Id via the following script:
$transaction_id = $_REQUEST['txn_id'];

But it returns empty.
I see in the forums that I must set the Auto Return Function to on in my PayPal Account. The problem is that I have various return forms depending on the type of upgrade they choose, or the specific website. If I turn this to on with one URL, all my sites will return to the wrong page.
Could anyone please advise me how to do this?

A: For most PayPal APIs you can specify either a return URL or a success and failure URLs to which PayPal will return the user after completing or canceling the payment.  The URL set in the configuration is used only if no redirect URL is providing in the call.


A titular see in Byzacene. From an inscription we learn that it was a colony. An important network of Roman roads here branches out, joining the city to Cilium and Theveste on the north; the Gafsa and Gabes, on the south. In the sixth century Thelepte became the residence of the military governor of Byzacene. Procopius (De Ædificiis, VI, 6) says that the city was fortified by Justinian. We have the names of several bishops: Julianus, present at the Council of Carthage in 256; Donatianus, who assisted at the Conference of Carthage in 411; he is said to have held a council in his episcopal city in 418, but this is uncertain (Tillemont, "Mémoires pour servir à l'hist. eccl.", X, 790-3). Thelepte was the native place of St. Fulgentius, Bishop of Ruspe. We have also the names of other bishops: Frumentius, exiled by Huneric, 484, after the Conference of Carthage; Stephen, present at the Council of Byzacene, 641. The ruins of Thelepte may be seen at Medinet el-Kedima, in Tunisia, a little to the north of Gafsa. The Byzantine citadel, in utter ruins, occupies the centre of the city. There are also the remains of baths, a theatre, and of ten churches recently discovered, one of which had five naves.

Sky's the limit for grounded aviator and his drone army
A West Cork-based photographer has turned a hobby into a business that's about to take off, says Tom Prendeville
When Tomasz Firek began looking to the skies there wasn't a market for drones - but times have changed
Tom Prendeville

A CORK-BASED Hollywood motion picture photographer has plans to become the Michael O'Leary of a new billion-dollar sunrise industry.
https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/skys-the-limit-for-grounded-aviator-and-his-drone-army-29297080.html
https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/8601c/29297079.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/BUS_20130526_BBI_006_27623496_I1.JPG
Readers are familiar with the term military drones – small unmanned aircraft – from news reports. Only last week US President Barack Obama was loudly defending their use.
However, drones for civilian use – such as forest management, mountain and sea rescue, aerial photography, mapping and police work – are fast becoming a major new industry.
In 2009, Tomasz Firek set up a drone manufacturing facility in Skibbereen, Co Cork, and since then the innovative Irish company, Versadrones, has designed and built over 150 aircraft.
Typically, the remote control aircraft are fitted with onboard cameras – which act as the eyes of the operator on the ground – and can stay in the air for 30 minutes before they need to land for a lithium battery recharge.
The drones, which look like a cross between a helicopter and a UFO, are 4.5ft wide and have between four to eight rotor blades for stability.
The aircraft can carry a payload of up to 6kg and are equipped with a global positioning system (GPS). The operator can also pre-programme in GPS co-ordinates – this enables the craft to fly solo and then return to base afterwards.
The brains behind Versadrones, Thomasz Firek, is a true Renaissance man; he is also an economist, pilot, musician and inventor. However, up until the economic crash his day job was photography.
Speaking about his transition into the aviation business, Firek says: "The business grew from the photography; I just wanted to be able to share beautiful views with people.
"After the Celtic Tiger collapsed I was in a very difficult situation. At the time I was doing this aerial photography as a hobby, so I decided to try and turn it into a business. I got nothing in government grants, everything was based on a small amount of money I had.
"When I started four years ago there was no market for this, it did not exist. Then about two years ago drones appeared on the market and since then the growth has been crazy.
"I started making one or two a month; now it is 10 and sometimes more. So far we have made about 150 craft, all of which have been for export. I have clients all over the world, from Hollywood to Bollywood to universities."
Being a brand new industry meant that everything from the machines to fabricate the craft body to the individual component parts had to be created from scratch.
"Everything was developed by myself, so there was a lot of trial and error at first. In the factory, I make the moulds and used carbon fibre for the body, other specialised parts I have made abroad because I don't have time to make them here.
"The biggest drones cost €16,000 – they're computer-equipped and are controlled from a ground station. The drones have six onboard sensors which are analysed by the computer, to give additional stability," explains Firek.
Currently, aviation regulations governing unmanned aerial vehicles and systems, means that operators are restricted to flying no higher than 150m and no further out than 500m from the handheld control station.
Regardless, the restrictions don't seem to have had any detrimental effect on businesses who are queuing up to purchase the craft rather than spending thousands of euros on a one-off hire of a commercial helicopter.
'I have clients all over the world from Hollywood to Bollywood'
"I am too busy now for Hollywood movies, I am totally focussed on building drones. I think it is everybody's dream to turn their hobby into a business and in the future I will definitely be hiring people," added Firek.

Napa Kiatwanchai (Nakhon Ratchasima, 27 de julio de 1967) es un exboxeador tailandés. Conquistó el título mundial de peso mínimo del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo.

Trayectoria
Inició su carrera profesional el 7 de agosto de 1987 con una victoria sobre Jompichit Kiattawatchai. Su primera oportunidad para disputar el título de peso mínimo del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo fue el 5 de junio de 1988 ante Hiroki Ioka, pelea que terminó en empate. Nuevamente enfrentó a Ioka el 13 de noviembre ganando por decisión mayoritaria y de paso el cetro mundial.

Kiatwanchai perdió su corona en su tercera defensa del título el 12 de noviembre de 1989 ante el surcoreano Jum-Hwan Choi. En sus siguientes peleas trató dos veces de hacerse nuevamente del cetro mundial de peso mínimo y también del peso minimosca sin éxito.

"The Role of Biotic and Abiotic Variables in Determining Demographic Processes in an Eelgrass Meadow" by Elena Solana-Arellano, Hector Echavarna-Heras et al.
Using principal component analysis among biotic and abiotic variables we found coherent subsets of variables that explain biological processes such as growth, mortality and recruitment in a seagrass (Zostera marina) meadow. The analysis of eigenvalues extracted three significant factors, which together account- ed for 63% of the variability. The first factor was mostly determined by demo- graphic variables (shoot density, growth, and above- and below-ground biomass). The second principal component was represented by abiotic variables such as temperature and solar radiation. The third factor was mainly defined by nutrient concentration (phosphates and nitrates). We found high negative correlation co- efficients between many biotic variables and temperature, which is contrary to some literature reports. This negative correlation coefficient might be due to a compounded lag effect on the meadow of the strong "El Nino" event which occurred during 1998 followed by an equally strong "La Nina event" that took take place in 1999. Variables with correlation less than ± 0.30 were dropped from the analysis. The plots of the abiotic principal components against biotic variables are presented.

Ян Сененський (іноді Ян Сєнінський; ; бл. 1506 — до 3 листопада 1581) — польський шляхтич, військовик, урядник, державний і римо-католицький релігійний діяч Корони Польської Речі Посполитої. Представник роду Сененських гербу Дембно.

Життєпис
Народився близько 1506 року в дідичних Гологорах. Син каштеляна кам'янецького Яна Сененського-Гологірського та його дружини Анни Бучацької, дочки подільського воєводи Давида Бучацького.

За Бартошем Папроцьким, замолоду був оборонцем країв руських, перебував у татарському полоні. Сам 1574 р. казав, що був викрадений у «очаківського диявола», провів у полоні 25 років. 1529 р. був ротмістром хоругви вершників (50 коней) оборони поточної, 1531 р. як ротмістр гусарської хоругви брав участь в покутській кампанії великого гетьмана коронного Яна Амора Тарновського, в битві під Обертином. Воював у складі частини, яка допомогла перемогти. Перебував потім у досить близьких стосунках з Я. А. Тарновським, якому 1537 р. надав значну позику (Я. А. Тарновський записав йому 2300 злотих на Старім Селі). 7 червня 1537 р. став галицьким підкоморієм; тоді також командував 100-а вершниками коругви поточної оброни. 1 лютого 1538 р. брав участь у програній битві над Серетом; потім — участь в облозі Хотина. 18 квітня 1543 р. став галицьким каштеляном.

На Пйотркувському сеймі кінця 1548 р. дистанціювався від сенаторів, які бажали скасувати шлюб короля Сигізмунда II Августа з Барбарою Радзивілл. Висловився проти познанського каштеляна Анджея Гурки, який робив випади на адресу Барбари Радзивілл. З королем розстався добре, отримав від нього під час від'їзду 16 грудня лист до Львівської ради стосовно боргу одного з міщан. Наступного року тримався осторонь політики, рідко бував на сеймах. Щоденники підтверджують його присутність в 1556/7, 1563/4, 1566, 1569 р., рідко виступав на них; можна припустити, що писарі не записували його «простацькі» промови. На Люблінському сеймі 1566 р. контактував з послом імператора Андреасом Дудичем, пропонував допомогу стосовно шлюбу Сигізмунда II Августа та Катаріни Габсбург. На сеймі 1569 р. гостро критикував послів за справу унії з Великим князівством Литовським, вимагав поступок литовцям. На його думку, для оборони поточної потрібні були тільки гроші. Діяльність в час першого безкоролів'я невідома. Приїхав на коронаційний сейм Генріха Валуа; 1 квітня 1574 р. виступив з промовою у своїй справі (вимагав винагороди власних заслуг). Після втечі короля став частіше брати участь у з'їздах шляхти Руського воєводства, 28 лютого 1575 р. став депутатом воєводського суду найвищої інстанції. На коронаційний сейм Стефана Баторія прибув до Кракова 3 чи 4 травня; 5 травня з плачем описував свої втрати через татарський напад восени 1575 р. 10 травня за ним постав братанок — жарнувський каштелян Ян Сененський з Поморян. Під час сейму король дав Я. Сененському номінацію на Львівське архієпископство.

Папську «провізію» отримав 10 грудня 1576 р., перед консекрацією відбув «інгрес» 1577 р. до Львівської капітули РКЦ. Був запрошений примасом Якубом Уханським на провінціальний синод до Пйотркува 19 травня, виправдовував свою відсутність поганим здоров'ям. У лютому 1578 р. був у Варшаві для своєї консекрації, а паллій мали йому вручити єпископи перемишльський Войцех Старозьребський і холмський Адам Пільховський. У травні 1578 брав участь у засіданні ради сенату у Львові. З самого початку мав неприязні стосунки з Львівською капітулою, яка не хотіла визнавати його прав, перешкоджала користуватись столовими дібрами (маєтностями), тому Я. Сененський до мінімуму звів свої обов'язки (здоров'я погіршувалося). Не знав латинської мови.

Найбільше запам'ятався кпинами та жартами. Бартоломей Зиморович описав його керування як комедію зі сміхом. Фактичним керівником архидієцезії був вікарій та генеральний офіціал Вацлав Вигановський.

Багато хто нетерпляче очікував його смерті, яку анонсували наприкінці жовтня 1581 року. Помер перед 3 листопада 1581 р.. Був похований у Львівській катедрі, в якій встановили надгробок Я. Сененського з його лежачою постаттю (нині втрачений).

Сім'я
Був одружений (про дружини невідомо). Діти:
 Миколай, Станіслав — померли рано
 Анджей (?—1603) — львівський підкоморій з 1596 p.
 схоже, мав доньку.

Маєтності
Був дідичем міста Гологорів та 15-и навколишніх сіл, 1536 р. отримав привілей на два ярмарки та щотижневі торги. На Поділлі посідав села Парханівці, Тершівці, Головчинці, частини сіл Голоскова, Масівців, Пирогівців. 1569 р. мав намір заснувати місто «Letare» на магдебурзькому праві (отримав привілей на Люблінському сеймі), але не вийшло. За короля Сигізмунда І Старого отримав викупом королівщини, зокрема, Баранів, Красилів, Кінчаки (1535 р., Галицький повіт), Конюхи (1543 р., Львівський повіт); державив місто Кам'янки в Теребовельському повіті, на якому король 1567 p. визнав доживоття сину Анджеєві. Риторичним є його твердження 1574 року: те, що Сигізмунд I дав, Сигізмунд Август забрав.

a very funny look at the importance of individuals and communities
March 22, 2017 / Kim Fulcher
71 SHEEP TRY SOCCER
by Pablo Albo, illustrated by Raul Guridi – Berbay Publishing, 2017
ages 2 to 8 years / funny, picture books
Here's a brilliantly engaging and amusing story about 71 sheep, a ball of wool, and a wolf.
With a superbly developed sense of the absurd, the storyline follows the sheep and their attempt to play a game of soccer:
The sheep count themselves and realise that with 71 of them, they have the perfect number for a game of soccer! They have 35 per side plus a referee.
It's a ridiculous notion presented with absolute conviction.
Following all their mishaps and adventures leaves readers with a well deserved feeling of conspiracy with the storyteller—there's a sense that reader and storyteller know better than the sheep—but they still want to be there enjoying every moment.
The game doesn't go to plan, first the 'ball' gets stuck in a tree, then one of the sheep (so the sides aren't 'even' anymore). And then the wolf appears!
After a full day of comic mishaps the sheep are simply exhausted and go to sleep with plans to play soccer tomorrow.
This is a quick, sharp story that brilliantly reflects the best of the nature of communal playgrounds. But, tied up in its lightheartedness are some really important ideals. Here are a couple:
The importance of the one is nicely illustrated. When one sheep, who has been used as a kind of sheep-catapult to dislodge the ball, gets stuck up a tree, the game can't go on. Never mind that there are 35 players on each team! Every player matters, even numbers matter and so the remaining 70 sheep 'try again, one way or another' to get the sheep down. The wolf arrives and brings more important concerns but finally all the sheep get down from the tree—and the game can go on ' … or maybe not.'
The value of community is integral to the story. One sheep alone would be hopeless against the wolf, but together they manage to scare the wolf away.
Some small reading hints:
Younger readers might need a bit of help to recognise the funny moments, so it's worth laughing or sighing in exasperation at those bits. That tips them off and helps to develop a healthy sense of the absurd, which makes life so much easier.
For slightly older readers, there are all sorts of fun maths games to play with. On the first reading it might take a moment to work out why 71 is such a perfect number for a soccer game—and on subsequent readings it could be fun to come up with ways to divide the sheep. Like even-v-odd jersey numbers, split down the middle, random assortment.
The fact that there's one lone black sheep in the herd and it becomes the referee could be an interesting conversation starter about whether that is actually necessary. If the sheep can tell by jersey numbers which sheep is on which team, they could identify the referee the same way.
Books like this help children develop their sense of humour by presenting a slightly ridiculous situation and mixing it up with life-threatening events (the appearance of the wolf). There's a terrific build up of tension here, followed by a funny break. That's often the way life goes, if we have the perspective to see it, isn't it?

That was the topic discussed recently by OCLC Research Library Partners metadata managers, initiated by Jennifer Baxmeyer of Princeton, Erin Grant of the University of Washington, and John Riemer of University of California, Los Angeles. Traditionally, the most common measure of cataloger productivity statistics on the number of records produced and time spent cataloging. As cataloging and metadata librarians become more involved in other activities that are not easily quantifiable (e.g., participating in linked data or similar projects), the problem of measuring productivity and success becomes more difficult.
Cataloging statistics have never captured the impact of cataloging on the end-user; they give no indication of how the bibliographic descriptions in the catalog actually contribute to a user's success in finding the appropriate resource. Moreover, they add a perverse incentive for catalogers to work only on the easiest titles or problems, rather than on those with the biggest impact or best use of catalogers' expertise, as those are the ones that will maximize statistics. Finally, since more cataloging data is available from outside sources, and records are often loaded in large batches into the library's catalog, the number of titles added may not accurately reflect a single person's contribution to the library's catalog.
Our discussions focused on communicating the successes and challenges of metadata specialists with the rest of one's institution and how metadata contributes to the division's and organization's strategic goals—especially "stories." Strategic goals may include "foster discovery and use" of the library's resources and "enriching the user experience," for which good metadata is critical. Discovery layers often highlight flaws in the metadata.
Key to demonstrating the value of metadata is integrating metadata specialists into other activities undertaken by other units. Examples of such integration include participating in collection usage and weeding projects, moving collections, convening conversations between different groups such as digital collections, and publicizing who the metadata experts are who can provide metadata consultancy—offering "metadata as a service." It's important that other units in the library realize that they need a metadata expert before they've proceeded too far with a project that should have had one. Metadata managers have discovered many needs for consulting services, such as content analysis and taxonomy for public-facing web pages. Actively contributing to other units' activities reinforces the importance of metadata.
Institutions use a variety of methods to communicate their work and completion of project milestones, including: on-line newsletters, blog posts, social media, tie-ins to other library activities such as exhibits, consultations, articles in professional literature, brown-bag lunches, workshops and other events, staff presentations, reporting out highlights from professional conferences as it reflects on one's own work.
Although most metadata managers keep statistics (and may be required to do so) the impact of metadata goes beyond record numbers. We agree that focusing on outcomes and the impact of metadata on user discovery is important, but these outcomes are hard to measure or document. Metadata departments that have strong senior management support feel their work is valued. Managers may find it challenging to evaluate the work of individuals who do different types of work. Statistics do not adequately represent the breadth of ways materials are described for all the various types of materials collected, but they may be useful as a baseline to identify anomalies, trends, the effect of changed workflows, and the extent of backlogs rather than as a ruler to measure productivity. Knowing what remains to be cataloged is more important than what has been cataloged, and that number can be used to justify adding or retaining positions.
Metadata specialists try to manage the quality of batch-loaded records from vendors but can feel like it's a "losing battle." We noted that the distinction between "copy" and "original" cataloging is losing its meaning; the distinction between batch-processing and records you have to hand-touch is becoming more meaningful. This distinction is blurred when so much more metadata is generated by machines that needs to be remediated later. Meanwhile, more attention is spent on creating metadata for hidden or distinct collections and unpublished materials.
Part of the challenge is engulfed by ongoing concern about the position of libraries: is the library in the line of sight for the people we want to use it? Discovery happens elsewhere, and we've failed as a profession to get our content into the place people are looking for it, although our metadata can help to do this in a linked data environment. In Australia, discovery often happens first through Trove, a portal that aggregates content from libraries, museums, archives, repositories, and other collecting organizations around Australia. The absence of library linked data services today may be considered as a "temporary inconvenience" while the infrastructure evolves. RDA (Resource Description and Access) attempts to create a standard that is encoding-schema neutral, but vendors aren't supporting it yet, and libraries aren't demanding it.
Metadata managers need to balance allocation of staff to "traditional cataloging activities" with more exploratory R&D projects that do not directly relate to getting more metadata into catalogs, such as linked data projects and exploring Wikidata and ISNI. What's needed is a culture shift, from pride around production alone to valuing opportunities to learn and explore new approaches. Metadata specialists need to understand that improving all metadata is more important than any individual's productivity numbers. This culture shift requires buy-in from administrators to support training programs for staff to learn new ways of doing things and to view metadata specialists as more than just "production machines." Metadata managers faced with staff reductions while still being expected to maintain production levels can justify allocating staff time for R&D or "play time" to explore such questions as: What can we stop doing? What is the one thing you learned that we all need to do more of? What do you need to move forward? What open source software could help us do the work more efficiently? Managers need to set goals for success not based only on numbers.
Part of this culture shift is to out-source or train support staff to create metadata for the "easier stuff" and mandate that catalogers only do what well-trained humans can do. Scope the materials requiring metadata that support staff or students can handle, providing templates where possible. If you take away all the easier materials, what's often left are metadata that requires expertise in languages or formats and in describing (and disambiguating) persons, organizations, and other entities.
Identify who on your team has the aptitude to pick up new skills. At one institution, the staff member shared what she learned and the whole unit became "lively" because she brought her colleagues along. It created appreciation for "continuous learning" and staff presented at national conferences what they were doing.
Convene group discussions to look at problem metadata and come up with solutions, encouraging staff to move forward together. Staff less interested in new skills can pick up some of the production from those learning new skills and producing less.
Encourage participation in professional conferences and standards development.
Discussants valued sharing ideas about facilitating the cultural aspects of shifting priorities and disseminating the value of metadata throughout the library and the institution.

Violist Nadia Sirota, one of the leading lights of New York's "indie-classical" scene, takes center stage with her debut recording, first things first. Hailed by Time Out New York as one of New York's "brightest, busiest players," Nadia has earned praise for her "command and eloquence" (Boston Globe), as well as her "energy, fluidity, [and] ear for electronic coloration" (The New York Times). The twenty-something musician has commissioned and premiered works by some of the most talented composers of her generation, particularly the three whose music appears on first things first: Marcos Balter, Judd Greenstein, and Nico Muhly. The disc comprises five solo tracks plus Muhly's "Duet No. 1″ (with cellist Clarice Jensen) and Greenstein's "The Night Gatherers," featuring Sirota and the Chiara String Quartet.

Ford Focus ST Wagon Revealed
17 May 2019 - motor1
Ford Focus ST Wagon has arrived to blend punchy engines with the extra practicality expected from a wagon.
Over in Europe where the Focus ST wagon will go on sale this summer, Ford is going to sell the car with a choice between a 2.3-liter EcoBoost gasoline engine and a 2.0-liter diesel. Like in the hot hatch, the former will push out 276 hp at 5,500 rpm and 310 pound-feet (420 Newton-meters) from 3,000 rpm channeled to the front wheels through a standard six-speed manual gearbox or an optional seven-speed automatic. No word about performance just yet, but we're expecting the wagon to need a little bit more than the six seconds it takes for the slightly lighter hatchback to hit 62 mph (100 kph) from a standstill.
Should you prefer a diesel, the EcoBlue unit is good for 187 hp at 3,500 rpm and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) from 2,000 rpm. We'll have to wait for the company to release details regarding performance, but it's safe to say the diesel is slower than the EcoBoost model. On the flip side, it offers better fuel efficiency if you care about that in a speedy wagon.
Regardless of the body style you go for, the new Focus ST comes loaded with goodies such as an electronic limited-slip differential making its debut on a front-wheel-drive Ford along with the company's quickest electric power-assisted steering to date. Add into the mix a pair of Recaro body-hugging seats and an independent rear suspension with active damping – and it makes the car a worthy adversary for the SEAT Leon Cupra R ST and the Skoda Octavia RS Combi.

Tornadoes are usually the extreme result of a very large thunderstorm called a supercell.
Tornadoes begin when the sun heats up the surface of the land. As the warm, less heavy air begins to rise, it meets the colder, heavier air above it. The faster moving air begins to spin and roll over the slower wind gathering pace and growing in size. Initially it is an invisible, horizontal wind spinning and rolling like a cylinder.
Later stronger and more powerful warm air forces the spinning winds vertically upward, causing an updraft and gathering momentum and creating vortex. Now it moves in the direction of the thunderstorm winds. When the pointed part of the tornado touched the ground from the cloud, it is often referred to as 'touch down'. As it moves it rips off things along its path. Its bottom end that stays in touch with earth has a cloud of debris and dust surrounding it.
Tornadoes also go by the name of Twisters.
The whirling wind in a tornado can reach a speed of 300 miles per hour but usually stays anywhere between 110 and 300 mph. It is this wind speed that gives a tornado its destructive power.
Usually, some of the Tornadoes are found to last for only a few minutes but they can last up to 2 hours. In extreme cases, a tornado can last up to 4 hours.
Tornadoes can be really tall reaching the height of 75 feet!
Tornadoes move forward and they can actually move at a speed of 73 miles or 117 kilometers an hour.
Long-lasting Tornadoes can leave a destruction trail which can be 50 miles long and 1 mile wide.
Tornadoes have categories based on their destructive force. Their destructive force is measured using Fujita Scale and are categorized as F1, F2, F3, F4 or F5 category Tornadoes.
F5s are terrible and the worst of the lot! They are the most destructive Tornadoes known to humans. There are several factors that are considered while categorizing these nasty fellows such as duration, distance travel, wind speed and more.
Tornadoes die just like everything else on this earth. They will last as long as their source of war air exists.
A tornado is associated with rainfall. This rain drags a region of rapidly descending air region, which scientists call as RFD or rear flank downdraft. This drag in turn drags the area of organized rotation known as the Meso cyclone of the super cell from which the tornado originated. This drag eventually cools down the RFD and chokes the tornado by cutting off the warm air source and thereby dissipating the tornado.
In 1925, United States was hit by an F5 tornado that lasted for nearly 3.5 hours and traveled a distance of 219 miles. The tornado passed through parts of Illinois, Missouri and Indiana and is popular by the name Tri-State Tornado.
Tornadoes do not have any consistent shape or structure. They can be long and thin like ropes or they can be wide and spiral.
Tornadoes can occur over water bodies. These Tornadoes are known as waterspout tornadoes. There may be multiple-vortex Tornadoes!
There is no open area that can be considered as tornado-safe.
A tornado will look transparent when it starts until it actually hits the earth and starts picking up mud, dust and other debris.
When a tornado just starts rising, the sky takes a characteristic greenish hue.
Scientists make use of Pulse-Doppler radar for detecting Tornadoes. Data collection by this radar is based on the study of surrounding air reflectivity and velocity. Scientists also look for hook echoes and debris ball effects for detecting Tornadoes.
Cyclonic spin is characterized by clockwise spin in southern hemisphere and anticlockwise spin in northern hemisphere. Anti-cyclonic on the other hand is a ridge or high pressure circulation in southern and northern hemisphere.
The fastest winds on earth are found in Tornadoes forming condensed water funnel.
There is no specific time for tornado occurrences and a tornado can hit anytime throughout the year. However, the frequency of tornado occurrences is at its peak between April and May.
Tornadoes will usually travel a few miles before they die out.
Around 1200 Tornadoes hit United States every year.
Bangladesh ranks 3rd in terms of frequency of Tornadoes. US ranks first followed by Canada.
Bangladesh was hit by the most destructive tornado ever recorded in entire world. The tornado claimed more than 1300 lives and hit Bangladesh in 1989 on April 26. The tornado left a trail of complete devastation within 6 square kilometers. Except for a few tree skeletons, no other standing infrastructures were found.
The best place to hide during a tornado is a basement or any underground area.
It is widely believed that a tornado can make a house explode if a low pressure is developed inside the tornado. The actual fact is that the debris inside a tornado slams against house causing greater structural damage.
The noise made by Tornadoes vary and depend on the objects they pick and carry along their path. Tornadoes moving along open plain have little noise to offer.

Primary Tumors of the Iris
JAMES R. DUKE, M.D.; SHEPARD N. DUNN, M.D.
Baltimere; Columbia, S. C.
From the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute of The Johns Hopkins University and Hospital.
AMA Arch Ophthalmol. 1958;59(2):204-214. doi:10.1001/archopht.1958.00940030072005
Tumors of the iris are uncommon; the accumulation of a sizable number of cases requires considerable time, and the problems of a long-term clinical follow-up are numerous. This study deals with the primary tumors of the iris examined in the pathology laboratory of the Wilmer Institute between 1925 and 1956, with special emphasis upon a few of the associated clinical findings, upon the histopathological characteristics of these tumors, and upon the ultimate fate of the patients who had harbored them.
Since the first histologic description of an iris melanoma, given by Tay13 in 1866, there have been a number of reports of iris tumors. In 1879 Knapp9 recorded three of his own cases and reviewed the literature. Wood and Pusey,14 in 1902, again reviewed the literature, reporting on a total of 83 cases of primary iris sarcomas. Their paper was thorough, but the follow-up period was short.

Celebrity Moms Find New Sources of Income
By addy May 17, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home measures have affected the entertainment industry a great deal. Many public events and filming projects have been canceled, and celebrities are getting huge pay cuts.
In desperate measures to find other means to earn income, many celebrity moms have taken their focus to the Internet. Changing their roles to KOLs—another word for social media influencer—celebrity moms are making a living through streaming and endorsing bay products.
Many of the celebrity moms are easily earning six figures through streaming, and Tavia Yeung (楊怡), who just gave birth to her daughter "Little Pearl", is by far the highest-paid celebrity mom, earning over HK$150,000 per endorsement. Although it's been a while since she's last appeared in a drama, Tavia still remains to be a popular celebrity endorser. Her income had only increased after her daughter's birth.
Grace Chan (陳凱琳) comes in second, reportedly earning over HK$100,000 per endorsement. She gave birth to her son, Rafael Cheng (鄭承悅), last year.
Vivien Yeo (楊秀惠), who gave birth to daughter Vy in April, is earning at least HK$80,000 per endorsement. Although she has already ended her TVB contract, Vivien's popularity increased after the airing of Brutally Young <十八年後的終極告白>. Currently back in Malaysia, Vivien has been earning a lot of income through promoting products on social media.
Aimee Chan (陳茵媺), now a mother of three, may be a full-time stay-at-home mom, but that hasn't stopped the income from streaming in. Aimee is paid HK$80,000 per endorsement.
Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), who has two sons, is also earning HK$80,000 per endorsement.
After giving birth to son Hunter in April 2019, Gaile Lok (樂基兒) has slowed down her work output. However, she continues to earn a decent income through social media, earning HK$60,000 per endorsement.
New mother Toby Leung (梁靖琪), on the other hand, is asking for HK$50,000 per endorsement. Her son is now over four months old, and Toby shares that she is looking forward to be by her son's side as he reaches his developmental milestones.
Lynn Hung (熊黛林) is also earning HK$50,000 per endorsement. She has twins Kaylor and Lyvia, and enjoys playing dress-up with her daughters.
Stephanie Che (車婉婉) gave birth to her son, Justus Quinlan at 42 years old. Nicknamed "BBQ", her three-year-old son already has a team of fangirls. Stephanie is earning HK$40,000 per endorsement. Leanne Li (李亞男), who gave birth to daughter Gabrielle in 2018, is also asking for HK$40,000 per endorsement. Aside from sharing tidbits of her life as a mother, Leanne has also become a KOL in housemaking and cooking.

Celebrities, they sure do live a different life than us. Nothing makes a celebrity more qualified than others to give parenting advice, but that's how the business works.

training is definitely hard. i am surprised that the kpop stars turn out looking so well given that they are so malnourished and do physical training endlessly. i think eventually they will have to repay in an older age for the deficient unless they replenish their bodies well. kpop training is no walk in the park

True but they have a lot of psychological and mental health issues along with physical health issues too. They suffer a lot in silence but sadly must try to act like all is well in front of the cameras.
