In 1955, the European Broadcasting Union created an international song contest whereby countries, represented by their respective broadcasters, would compete in one television show. The secret to the contest's cross-border mass appeal lies in a curious mixture of camp irony and mild controversy. Read about this year's Serbian winner and take a look at some memorable moments from the past.
British legend Cliff Richard gets an early introduction to crushing disappointment when his signature hit Congratulations (still seemingly heard at every wedding and birthday party in the UK — must be a legal requirement or something) is robbed of victory. To make matters worse, he loses out to Spanish entry La La La, notable only for using the word 'La' 138 times. Richard reacts by releasing more records than one would think was feasibly possible, singing to the crowds during rain delays at Wimbledon — see you next month then! — and vowing never to set foot upon Spanish shores. Probably.


That said, your biggest decision is probably what kind of desk you want in the first place. As an example, some homeowners prefer the end tables on the small aspect, large enough to hold a lamp fixture and perhaps a glass or perhaps small plate, but not a lot more. Others want their game tables to be as large as it can be, so they have maximum real estate investment when there's a party of holiday gathering. Some wish to have a table which includes several drawers for storage space; others prefer a single compartment with perhaps a small rack along the bottom. It principally depends on the needs of your home. An individual drawer table with long thighs is visually lighter than an end table with drawers or a drawer and a lesser shelf. The "visual weight" of a piece is important in keeping a room from seeking too crowded.

Donald McGill - SW2
(lost) Donald McGill - SW2
Site: Donald McGill - SW2 (1 memorial)
SW2, Christchurch Road, 36
The ODNB's page on McGill gives: "His fame was recognized by the placing of a blue plaque on his home, 36 Christchurch Road, Streatham Hill, London." See our page for McGill for more information.
Up until at least about 1970 most of Christchurch Road was lined with substantial houses with large front gardens, or drives, similar to those still standing at the Tulse Hill end. Number 36 would have been one of these houses, on the south-east side, at about the mid-point of Coburg Crescent. They were probably demolished and redeveloped in the 1970s.
The Streatham Society say he lived in flat 7 in number 36.
McGill was here for only a year or two, late in his life, and the house no longer exists. We do wonder whether the ODNB has confused this address with Bennett Park, where there is a plaque.

With the New Year upon us we approach the oncoming wet season which is yet to be determined as to whether it will be a decent one or not. The build up has been mediocre and gives no indication which way the scales will tip.
On the fishing front the heavy tackle game season notably fizzled out during the latter stages of December. There were some isolated catches of big fish mainly from the Linden Bank region but became far and few between as the days wore on. There still remains the odd small marlin including blue marlin which have ventured closer to the shelf in recent times. There are still a few sailfish being recorded as well which is a great substitute. The light tackle game fishing however remains quite strong for the likes of dolphin fish, wahoo, Spanish mackerel and yellowfin tuna. The yellowfin fishing will be a focus for game operators and as is often the case they'll have to put some further miles in tarvelling well beyond the edges of the outer reef.
Inside the reef the fishing remains consistent without breaking any records. There is a real mixture of fish on the bite and is a bit of a lottery draw as to what you'll catch. Species of late have been evenly spread including coral trout, small and large mouth nannygai, red and spangled emperor, reef jack, sweetlip, stripies and moses perch. There have been a couple of different species bob up in recents times including baldy bream and cattle dog cod. One species you can almost guarantee at this time of year is the gold spot trevally which school up in big numbers and sizes. The average fish is around 7-8kg and they go like the clappers on the end of a line and eaten fresh there is nothing to snob at. The days are particularly hot on the water and there is a bit of down time in a daily session. The key is to concentrate on your preferred spots and be ready for the changes of the tide. Be confident in the one area which is holding good bait on the sounder as the fish will flick the light on and have a feed. Traipsing all over the countryside in search of fish is probably only going to result in a hefty fuel bill. Furthermore if you can pull off a night trip all the better especially for your nannygai and emperor. Weather allowing fish as deep as possible and once again the turn of the tide should see the fish pile on.
Closer to home it is always nice in the evenings sitting under the shade of a palm tree and having a fish from off the beach. Using fresh caught live bait such as mullet or garfish is highly preferable and fishing the incoming and first of the outgoing tide can turn up all sorts of goodies. Small sharks are always a bit of fun including the blacktip and lemon variety. Shovel nose ray are an opponent that warrants plenty of respect and if you tangle with a white spotted ray well you will want to hope you have a full spool of line because you are going to need it. Other sporting fish which have turned up in recent times have been some really nice flathead, good sized queenfish, blue salmon and mid sized Gt's. There have been accidental catches of barra as well but they have to be released during the current closure. There's nothing more quintessential FNQ than sitting on the beach with family and friends, having a drink and wetting a line.
Looking ahead the amount of rain we will receive in the coming months is the main factor. They say more the better especially for fallout later in the year.


Economic Impact of Immigration by State: Where's Georgia?
Immigration continues to be at the forefront of state and national issues, which is why personal finance website WalletHub recently released its report on 2019's Economic Impact of Immigration by State.
WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 20 key metrics, ranging from median household income of foreign-born population to jobs generated by immigrant-owned businesses as a share of total jobs.
The Peach State ranked 19th for the most impacted.
* California has the highest share of foreign-born residents, 26.98 percent, which is 16.8 times higher than in West Virginia, the lowest at 1.61 percent.
* Maryland has the highest median household income for the foreign-born population, $76,119, which is 2.1 times higher than in New Mexico, the lowest at $35,626.
* New Mexico has the highest homeownership rate for the foreign-born population, 63.20 percent, which is 2.1 times higher than in North Dakota, the lowest at 30.30 percent.
* New Jersey has the highest share of foreign-born STEM workers, 43.80 percent, which is 54.8 times higher than in Wyoming, the lowest at 0.80 percent.
* The District of Columbia has the highest share of direct and indirect jobs created by the economic contributions of international students, 1.57 percent, which is 52.3 times higher than in Alaska, the lowest at 0.03 percent.
This disgusts me and is sickening. This proves illegals, "refugees" and non-citizens are important to "Politicians" and The USA's Citizens do not count! Politicians love AGENDA 21 and want to kill 90% of our citizen population – just as these Politicians are murdering America's Babies! I have college degrees in several fields, worked 2 & 3 jobs for over 40 years and rarely broke over $35,000 per year. Yet, people who broke our laws, spit on our flag & country and are NOT citizens make over $76,000 per year – plus food stamps and free medical? Politicians are supposed to listen to our country's citizens, yet, they just do whatever they want! I guess is why Kamala Harris is trying to have hangings outlawed. MAKE THE USA'S CITIZENS #1 !


How to describe the Bahamas?
The islands are not much to look at. We've visited many islands now that look like tropical havens, especially those in the Caribbean. In the Caribbean the islands are all volcanic mountain peaks, their tips sticking out of the ocean and draped in green.
The Bahamas seem to be barren wasteland in comparison. The greens and browns are all faded, as if they've spent too much time in the sun. Standing on the boat looking toward land, it's rather dull. The best view is when you're standing on the beach, looking out to sea . . . WOW!
The thing I love the most about living on the boat, is that you're supplied with unlimited, unimpeded view of the sky. You get the same effect on a hill or mountain, or when you're standing next to the sea. When the air is sharp and clear – and the sky filled with clouds.
Standing on the beach in the Bahamas was awesome. I've heard it said that we as humans were made to stand in awe. We love the feeling of looking at something amazing, awe-inspiring. To gaze into the beauty of the picture and feel small.
It is wonderful to have so many chances to stand in awe of our Creator. Even though I know this world is broken, it is still so beautiful and I can clearly see His sovereignty. There are no 'accidents' – there is design.
In San Salvador we weren't anchored too far off the beach. It was really easy to snorkel to the beach, walk around on it for a while collecting shells, then snorkel back to Shang Du. The shallow white sandy bottom coupled with the crystal clear water reflects the sky's blue colour. This is the totally idyllic water you always see on travel brochures. 😉 On my way to and from the beach I dive down every so often to pick up another sand-dollar. There were many many many of them lying around, since nobody ever comes there. During our stay at San Salvador, we were the only yacht to anchor there.
We might have been the only yacht anchored at the island, but we were not the only ones to enjoy the diving. On San Salvador, (the place where Cristopher Columbus first set foot in the 'new world', by the way), there is a little corner for French tourists. A complete and secluded holiday resort that has a little runway all its own! Every week an airplane flies in from France. It drops off a bunch of people ready for a holiday and takes the previous lot back home.
(That is an extremely summed up version of what actually happens).
These people have also stationed buoys for themselves at dive-spots. It was very convenient to just dingy out with all our gear and tie up to a buoy.
The drop-off dives we did in San Salvador were amazing!
San Salvador is not on the list of islands people would normally visit on a trip to the Bahamas, (talking of cruisers specifically), but it really should be! Apparently you don't get such good drop-off dives anywhere else except for the great barrier reef in Australia.
I get to dive with our little dive buoy – we call it "Subby", since it has the word "SUB" printed on it's side.
Our very last peppermint-crisp chocolate (treasured since Grandma visited us in Trinidad) was used to make Franci's peppermint-crisp tart. 17 candles!
Our newly established tradition of decorating the baobab tree with chocolate begins . .

Glória é um bairro do município de Vila Velha, no Espírito Santo. Inicialmente era uma fazenda pertencente a Maria da Glória Cardim de Barros, por herança de sua mãe. Após o falecimento dela, foram chamados por edital todos os herdeiros, no caso netos. No entanto não tiveram dinheiro suficiente para arcar com as dívidas deixadas ali. Dessa forma, o estado tomou. Porém o nome do bairro foi dado em homenagem à dona da antiga fazenda.

É também conhecido por ser o bairro onde se localizam a fábrica da Chocolates Garoto, a escola de samba Mocidade Unida da Glória e o Polo de Moda da Glória, com cerca de 800 lojas, que atrai consumidores de toda a Região Metropolitana de Vitória.
A região da Glória começou a ser vista como um enorme potencial industrial, quando em 1929, quando o imigrante alemão Henrique Meyerfreund resolveu instalar a Fábrica de Chocolates Garoto no bairro.

Quando a antiga H. Meyerfreund & Cia, fábrica de balas que originou a Chocolates Garoto S/A, foi transferida da Prainha para a Glória, teve um impacto  enorme na urbanização e ocupação do bairro, já que, além da circulação maior de pessoas na região, os próprios funcionários compravam lotes nas imediações e erguiam suas casas, o que atraiu vários estabelecimentos comerciais para o local, inclusive empresas ligadas ao setor vestuário, dando o início ao Polo.

No início da década de 1950, se inaugura a Rodovia Carlos Lindenberg, que junto com a Estrada Jerônimo Monteiro, eram eixos que percorriam o bairro Glória, fazendo ligação de diversos bairros do município com o centro de Vila Velha e Vitória, tendo em vista que a rodovia era o principal meio de ligação entre a cidade canela verde e a capital do estado até 1989, quando foi inaugurada a Terceira Ponte.

Até então, já tinha sido inaugurada na região a Escolas Reunidas da Glória (atual UMEF Naydes Brandão), uma penitenciária. um centro de saúde, outra escola de ensino básico, um Mercado Municipal da Glória e três fábricas – Dumilho, Sabão Fortly e Refrigerantes Guará, respectivamente localizadas na Avenida Jerônimo Monteiro, Rua Dom Pedro II e na rua Santa Rosa -. Pouco tempo antes do surgimento da primeira empresa de confecções, duas dessas fábricas paralisaram suas atividades e outra pouco tempo depois.

A história do Polo Moda Glória começou em 1975, quando um imigrante, vindo Minas Gerais,  juntamente com alguns familiares deram início à implantação das pioneiras empresas de Confecção na Glória. O sucesso desse tipo de empreendimento chamou atenção de outras pessoas para seguirem caminhos semelhantes daqueles que já tinham suas empresas de fabricação  e comercialização de artigos de vestuário. Na época, com aproximadamente 80 lojas, eram os revendedores o principal canal de distribuição do que era produzido no bairro, abastecendo diversas regiões do Brasil.

Na década de 80, as intensas medidas econômicas que o Brasil vivia durante o plano cruzado, o Polo foi fortemente impactado e passou de 80 para 350 lojas. Esse crescimento acabou aumentando o número de consumidores, o que chamou atenção de empresas de outros segmentos, como restaurantes, bancos, supermercados, entre outras. Essa nova realidade transformou uma parte do bairro, que até então era em grande parte residencial, em uma das áreas comerciais mais valorizadas da cidade de Vila Velha.

Foi nessa mesma época que os primeiros empresários do polo viram a necessidade de criar entidades com caráter de representar os interesses comuns deles, para promover o desenvolvimento de atividades econômicas da área. Assim, em 1983, foi criada a Associação Comercial e Industrial de Vila Velha (Acivive), que foi substituída em 1991 pela Associação Comercial, Industrial e Agropastorial de Vila Velha (Aciagro), que por sua vez, em 1999, foi sucedida pela Associação dos Comerciantes da Glória (Uniglória), a qual administra as questões do Polo até hoje.

Com a economia do país estava consolidada, o mercado capixaba teve um forte crescimento industrial e comercial, sendo que o polo acompanhou este desenvolvimento, já que grande característica era a estrutura familiar das empresas, que com o amadurecimento do negócio viram a necessidade de formalização,  até se transformar no que é hoje, reconhecidamente, o Maior Complexo Comercial e de Confecções da Grande Vitória.

Diante desse novo contexto, o bairro Glória também foi transformado, tipicamente residencial até a consolidação da área comercial, com exceção de uma ou outra indústria, ele se viu totalmente reconfigurado com a evolução das atividades do setor do vestuário. A casas se remodelaram para atender aos novos usos/funções, ou seja, quartos e salas viraram lojas, os edifícios mudaram sua aparência, até mesmo a criação de novas construções foram erguidas, projetadas para as finalidades comerciais ou industriais.

De acordo com último levantamento realizado em 2012, o Polo Modas Glória abriga mais de 1200 Empresas, sendo que deste total aproximadamente 800 lojas são do segmento de confecção, principalmente para a produção de malhas, que comercializam mais de 1 milhão de peças mês. Gerando emprego e renda diretos para 5.000 pessoas e indiretamente para 12.000 pessoas em todo o estado.

Outros dados fornecidos pelo levantamento realizado na região:

08 bancos, Banestes, Caixa Econômica, Mercantil, Bradesco, Real, HSBC, Santander, Banco do Brasil, Itaú e nossa cooperativa Bancoob;
X Grandes lojas de Eletrodomésticos;
X Grandes lojas de Moveis;
Clínicas Médicas e Odontológicas na escola de odontologia,
1 Hipermercado e 4 Supermercados;
1 Pronto Atendimento;
Igrejas Evangélicas e Católicas;
Centro Comunitário;
800 lojas do segmento de vestuário. 450 delas são fábricas;

Está previsto no bairro a construção de um túnel, que será a quarta ligação entre Vitória e Vila Velha, melhorando a mobilidade urbana entre os municípios.

Q: adding new points in a scatter plot I would like to add new points to the scatter plot in a async manner. For that, there is an api in scatter plot "addpoint" that adds newly sent data to the chart without refreshing the scatter plot. The code used in this is
<!doctype html>

The fiddle is here : http://jsfiddle.net/anirbankundu/T8GT3/1/
Can anyone let me know if there is any possible way to add an array of points instead of adding each point step by step. I will be fetching around 1000 points for each call and the total number of points can go above 100K
Thanks,
Anirban

A: Use chart.series[1].data to get the current serie data and then use chart.series[1].setData to update it's data.
function requestData() {
    var chart = $('#container').highcharts(),
        serie = chart.series[1];

    // get serie data
    var data = serie.data;

    // append points to data
    for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        data.push([
            Math.random() * 100,
            Math.random() * 80
        ]);
    }

    // update serie data
    serie.setData(data);
}

You can see it working here.
Update - Append points to the current data
function requestData() {

Last year, I saw a couple of ruler growth charts on Pinterest that inspired me to go out, get a piece of wood, then let it sit for a year. Heh. Not really, but that's effectively what happened. I bought a piece of oak as well as the wood stain to go with it, then never did anything with it except sand it down to prep it for staining. At first I thought I would have it done in time for Evie's 2nd birthday, in time to take her height on her birthday, but that, of course, did not happen.
I mentioned to my friend, Emily, at the beginning of the week that I had this outstanding ruler growth chart project, saying that I had never stained anything before. She said staining was super easy, and I don't know what it was about her saying it that got me over the fear of messing up staining, but it did. So, the plank of wood got a couple coats of stain, and I also used my Silhouette to cut stencils for the numbers and lines.
I used a couple of tutorials as reference when I did this growth chart, but the one from 517 Creations more so.
I used a Sharpie paint pen for the lines and the numbers. I haven't sealed the wood yet, so I'll need to find something that won't smear the Sharpie paint pen when I do seal it.
In retrospect, I think I would try cutting the stencil for the lines out of a thicker cardstock to reduce bleeding of the edges, or use pencil first and then fill-in by hand like I did with the numbers.
I also used the Century font for the numbers, like the one from 517 Creations.
I made my one-foot lines 3 inches long, quarter-of-a-foot lines 2 inches long, and all the other lines 1 inch long.
I made my numbers about 3 inches tall, but I believe my plank of wood was also wider than the ones used in the tutorials, so it could accommodate taller numbers.
Instead of starting my chart at 6 inches (i.e., meant to be hung on the wall 6 inches from the ground), I chose to make mine start from the ground so that we would just lean it against a wall to take height measurements.
I placed each number 6.5 inches from the right edge and 5/16ths of an inch to the left of the one-foot lines.
So how does Evie measure up?
One month later . . . I haven't actually measured Evie against it because I've been putting off sealing the wood. Greg says he doesn't think the wood needs to be sealed though, so maybe I'll skip that part.

Traffic wardens unable to tackle Caernarfon Easter parking chaos as they were busy elsewhere, says council
Between 60 and 70 cars were left on the town's Maes on Sunday, but no officers were in the area to enforce the rules against parking on the square
The absence of traffic wardens from Caernarfon during Easter Sunday's parking chaos was due to dangerous parking elsewhere in Gwynedd, says the council.
Between 60 and 70 cars were left on the town's Maes, but no officers were in the area to enforce the rules against parking on the square.
Taxi drivers were unable to access their rank and motorists went the wrong way around the one-way system in scenes described as "a shambles" by one resident.
Today, a council spokesman said Gwynedd's traffic wardens had been sent to other parts of the county to tackle illegal parking.

"The council's parking enforcement officers patrol communities across the county to ensure that motorists are parked safely and legally," said the spokesman.
"In addition to routine patrols across the county, officers also respond to concerns raised regarding parking flashpoints to ensure that vehicles adhere to parking regulations.
"Over the past weekend, officers were called to various locations including Penygwryd and the A5 leading up to Llyn Ogwen, due to concerns that parked vehicles could endanger other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians on these mountain roads.
"In addition, officers were also asked to patrol in a number of seaside locations in the Meirionnydd area of the county due to concerns that some vehicles had parked in contravention of regulations.
"In terms of the Maes in Caernarfon , current parking restrictions mean that vehicles should not park in the area, except for blue badge holders who are permitted to park in the designated bays.
Gwynedd council said the county's traffic wardens were busy elsewhere (Image: Arwyn Roberts)
"We would urge motorists to adhere to the clearly marked signs which indicate that motorists should not park in the area.
"We would also note that the council will be introducing new parking arrangements for the Maes in the coming months which will allow greater flexibility for the loading and unloading of goods during specific times of the day (up until 11am and after 4:30pm)."
Describing Sunday's scenes in Caernarfon , a disgruntled resident said: "There's so many cars here they've had to go the wrong way up the one-way.
"Some people don't know how to get out.
"People are not supposed to park there. Cars are facing every which way.
"I haven't seen a single parking warden come through today.
"One person has probably parked up and then more and more have come because they think it's OK.
"Whenever there is a charity event, there's always a parking warden giving out tickets, but not today."

Police & Cinema, 1920
April 27, 2015 AHRC, Archive, Bilipo, Book coversFerenczi, Priolletdjeannerod One comment
Marcel Priollet, Police et cinéma éditions J.Ferenczi, 1920, booklet, 18 x 11 cm. ©BILIPO
The small booklet above, by prolific popular author Marcel Priollet (1884– 1960) was published in 1920. It formed part of the first (1916- 1923) "Le Roman policier" series published by Ferenczi. This publisher was by then well on its way to become a household name in the history of French popular literature . This is an early example of the explicit use of the concept of "Roman policier" (detective novel) in order to cach the attention of the readers. It is therefore an important indicator of the constitution of the crime genre as an autonomous, instantly recognizable entity in that period.
This particular booklet also demonstrates the relationship between popular literature and film. By then the exchanges between the two media have taken a new direction: after the first world war, it is cinema that will influence the detective story, rather than the reverse.

WSP UK chief executive Mark Naysmith said: 'I'm delighted to welcome Charlie to WSP at such an important time for our business. Having previously worked in management consultancy, specialising in transport and infrastructure, he brings experience and diversity to our business, which aligns perfectly with our strategic direction.
'I believe our clients will value Charlie's experience and insight into the diverse transport sector, particularly given his most recent successes at one of the UK's leading public transport companies.
'I'm grateful to Steve for his unwavering commitment and energy which have been instrumental in creating an award-winning T&I business. I thank him for his leadership and influence which has helped attract and nurture talented people and deliver fantastic projects across the UK.'
Mr Hodgson said: 'It's fantastic to be joining WSP and I'm excited to lead such a well-renowned transport and infrastructure business.
'WSP's focus on innovative solutions, client care and sustainable design, as well as their industry-leading net zero ambitions, set them apart in the engineering consultancy sector, and I'm looking forward to working with the wealth of brilliant clients the firm advises.'
WSP specialisms within the T&I business include rail, highways, transportation hubs, local government, and civil, bridge and ground.

Copper pricing decision puts NZ out of step
Tuesday, 15 December 2015, 11:51 am
Press Release: TUANZ
TUANZ warns that the final copper pricing decision puts NZ out of step with rest of world
TUANZ warns that the Commerce Commission draft decision on wholesale copper charges this morning will likely lead to higher prices for users which puts New Zealand further out of step with the rest of the world. Recent research by organisations such as the ITU already have New Zealand pricing comparing poorly.
The final price announced today adds a further $3.30 to the previous draft meaning that there's been a steady increase from the Initial Pricing decision of $34.44 to this final wholesale price of $41.69. Users had seen the benefit of initial lower prices flowing through as a result of the process and improved competition but now will likely face further increases in their monthly charges given this final price applies from tomorrow (16th December 2015).
"These prices will have a direct impact on users, and especially those users who are unable to take up UFB services. These include the 20% of the population who live rurally, and who have no other fixed line options and will continue to rely on copper phone lines for the foreseeable future." said Craig Young, CEO of TUANZ.
"This decision also lends weight to ensuring that we as a country get the current review of the Telecommunications Act right so that post 2020 we establish an internationally competitive business environment when it comes to the cost of connectivity" Mr Young stated.
TUANZ recognises that the Commerce Commission is an independent arbiter who must apply the law around these pricing processes as it stands, but are disappointed that the end users look to have lost out in this latest decision. "We are though happy that the Commission has decided (in a split decision) to not apply any backdating to the pricing which is a positive outcome for users." said Mr Young.
Mr Young is concerned that this may not be the end to the more than 2 years of uncertainty as there is the possibility that one of the telecommunications providers may choose to challenge the process in court given the material size of the latest price rise.
"TUANZ has a vision of helping New Zealand move into the top 10 for business usage of digital technology (using the World Economic Forum Network Readiness Index) and while this decision makes this task a little harder, it is one we are still fully committed to"

This is not the news, but those who have not heard – for sure will be interested in the phone project of PRADA and LG. The Smartphone has a beautiful, simple design. It is also one of the slimmest phones on the market.
Daria Werbowy and Edward Norton were invited to launch the campaign (and I invite you to watch the movie).
As for me, a key disadvantage of that phone is that it's equipped with an android 3.2, also known as 'Gingerbread'. This is not (and was not in December) the newest and the best Android version available on the market. LG and Prada went the easy way .. and perhaps they cut the costs? In any case, with that android version – the phone is not the most exclusive gadget available on the market. Consumers should be more appreciated by the manufacturers.
Where do phones meet fashion?


The Naval History and Heritage Command held a commemoration ceremony in honor of Vietnam War Veterans Day at the National Museum of the U.S. Navy's Cold War Gallery located on the Washington Navy Yard, March 29, 2018.
The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017, designates March 29 of each year as Vietnam War Veterans Day. The ceremony honored and recognized the heroism of the Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Soldiers who served during the Vietnam War.
The ceremony began with colors presented by the United States Navy Ceremonial Guard while the national anthem was sung by a member of the U.S. Navy Band.
Mark Weber, Managing Director of the National Museum of the U.S. Navy, served as the master of ceremonies. Following the anthem, Weber read the Presidential Proclamation Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. In 2017, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation to continue the 13-year Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War that began in 2012.
Cox presented Vietnam veterans in attendance with a pin to recognize their service and sacrifice. Among the Vietnam veterans present was John Desselle, a civilian employee of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
The guest speaker of the ceremony was retired Lt. Cmdr. Thomas J. Cutler. He served during the time of war in Vietnam and is a well-known author and speaker. Cutler began his presentation with a photo display accompanied by music.
After the photo presentation, he spoke to the audience wearing a Vietnam War-era uniform as if it was their first day on the ground "in-country" during the Vietnam War. He gave a welcome aboard brief with guidelines and advice for service members to follow while in Vietnam.
"Listen up, you may fall asleep but this information may save your life while in Vietnam," said Cutler.
Cutler continued the brief speaking to the audience about how to wear the uniform properly to avoid leeches, the type of assignments they could expect, the many hazards to avoid, and even the importance of taking malaria pills.

g. E-cig juice is what you fill the cartridge in your electric vaporizer with, and you can now make your own that includes cannabis. What you will need for this method is vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol. These two products can be purchased online pretty cheaply. You'll also need a coffee filter, some syringes, something to double boil with and, of course, your desired amount of kief. If you like, you can add some e-cig flavor to the mixture if you would like something like a berry or lemon flavor in your final product.


Each piece of Adam's work is individually hand thrown and is simplistic in form, colour and style. His ceramics are unique emphasising the lines created using the wheel which he highlights with sympathetic glazes and lustres. Adam's main medium is porcelain but experiments with stoneware clays for contrast.

Q: How to add incremental number to ID when cloned I have a form field that I am duplicating when one clicks on the "Add" button. When an ID is duplicated, I want to add an incremental number to it. My code below is appending a 0 to the end of each new ID instead of counting. So #mark-description becomes mark-description00 instead of #mark-description2. I've looked a couple other similar posts here but am unable to determine what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
NOTE: I'm using ids because a jQuery plugin I'm using requires them.
Javascript:
$('#add-character-button').on('click', function () {
var source = $('.mark:last'),
clone = source.clone();
var count = 0;

clone.find('.copyme').val($(this).attr('title')).attr('id', function(i, val) {
return val + count;
    });
     clone.insertAfter('.mark:last');
    });

HTML:

  <input class="checkbox" id="standard" name="mark-type" type="checkbox" value="Standard Character">

        text
          <input class="copyme" id="mark-name" name="mark-name" placeholder="" title="Enter your mark name" type="text">

        text</span

        <textarea class="copyme" id="mark-description" name="mark-description" placeholder="" title="Enter a description"></textarea>

 Remove

+ Add

A: You should probably not even be using id's on the items that you are cloning. And you SHOULD be using array access notation (i.e. mark-name[]) in your field names. Without this you are only going to get one of the duplicate fields with the same name posted.
Here is what I would suggest.
HTML:

  <input class="checkbox" id="standard" name="mark-type" type="checkbox" value="Standard Character">

        text
          <input class="copyme" name="mark-name[]" placeholder="" title="Enter your mark name" type="text">

        text
          <textarea class="copyme" name="mark-description[]" placeholder="" title="Enter a description"></textarea>

Remove

+ Add

javascript:
$('#add-character-button').on('click', function() {
    // make clone
    $template = $('.mark:last');
    var $clone  = $template.clone();
    // set values to default in clone
    $clone.find('.copyme').each(function() {
        $(this).val($(this).attr('title'));
    });
    // insert into DOM
    $clone.insertAfter($template);
});

$('.remove').on('click'), function() {
    $(this).closest('.mark').remove();
});

This fully eliminates the need to modify id names and simplifies your code.

A: is this what you're looking for? i simplified the code so i wouldnt have to type all the ids and fors and stuff. http://jsfiddle.net/swm53ran/134/
$(document).ready(function() {
    var count = 0;
    $('.add').on('click', function() {
        count++;
        var clone = $('.template').clone('true').removeClass('template');
        clone.find('textarea').attr('id', 'textarea' + count);
        clone.find('textarea').html('Id: ' + clone.find('textarea').attr('id'));
        clone.appendTo('.sections');
    });
});

Add

        <input type="checkbox" />

        text <input type="text"/>

        textarea <textarea id="textarea">Id: textarea</textarea>

although, i would suggest not using id's, but if you're intent on using them, this should work for your purposes.

Q: PostSharp not running in new csproj On any project using the new VS2017 csproj format (.NET Core, Standard, or Framework), unless PostSharp is a direct NuGet dependency, aspects are not weaved into the code.
For example, if I create a .NET Core project that depends on PubComp.Caching.AopCaching, which has a dependency on PostSharp, it will allow me to use aspects that are defined in the AopCaching NuGet. The project will compile, but the PostSharp aspects are not actually weaved into the code. The only way to make it work is to install PostSharp as a direct NuGet dependency.
I assume it has something to do with the order in which msbuild resolves NuGet dependencies for the new csproj and when the IL code weaving of PostSharp takes place.
Does anyone know exactly why it happens? Is there any solution other than remembering to always install PostSharp as well?

A: The package in question uses the following reference to PostSharp in it's .nuspec file:
<dependency id="PostSharp" version="6.0.28" exclude="Build,Analyzers" />

This specifically excludes PostSharp's build scripts, which are not injected into the build and thus PostSharp is not executed. This does not happen in non-SDK projects.
This is not unlikely because the author did not want their package to cause dependent packages to all execute PostSharp.
FYI;
If you look at PostSharp's package structure, it has two packages for each library that contains aspects, e.g. PostSharp.Patterns.Common (build-time package), which references PostSharp.Patterns.Common.Redist (runtime package). The build time package contains build-time-only components and has a reference to PostSharp package which contains all build-time tooling. The runtime package contains the runtime DLL and references PostSharp.Redist package.
This allows dependent packages to choose whether they want the build time or runtime dependency graph.

Parma vs Juventus Prediction & Match Preview
Photo by Emilio Andreoli / Getty Images
The 2019/20 Serie A season kicks off on Saturday as Parma vs Juventus takes place at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. The reigning champions start off the new campaign with the quest of earning a ninth consecutive Serie A title. Will the hosts have what it takes to give the champions a run for their money? Let's take a closer look as Parma face Juventus in the opening match of the 2019/20 Serie A season.
Saturday, August 24 – 12:00 EST – Stadio Ennio Tardini
The reigning champions Juventus start off their title defense for yet another season as they travel to Parma on Saturday. They looked poised for another successful season with the arrivals of Danilo, De Ligt, and Rabiot to name a few. On top of that, Gianluigi Buffon announced his return to the Old Lady as he's looking to give himself one last go at a Champions League run. Juventus were capable of winning 13 of their 19 road matches last season. However, they are winless in four consecutive matches away from home. Furthermore, they conceded a total of 17 away goals throughout the season. Historically, they are unbeaten in their last four opening day fixtures in the Serie A when playing away.
On the other hand, Parma are unbeaten in their last four home matches in the Serie A. They will look to improve on a 14th place finish this season, but it won't be an easy task. One of the main players to keep an eye on is their striker Gervinho who managed to finish the season with 11 goals to his name. Furthermore, he also managed to score three goals against the reigning champions. Parma finished last season as the third worst team when playing at home, winning only 5 of their 19 matches at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. In that span, they conceded an average of nearly 2 goals per game. We believe that the champions will have what it takes to earn an opening day victory on Saturday. We're also expecting a couple of goals in Parma between the two teams.

Кандил Балоч (1 марта 1990 — 15 июля 2016) — пакистанская певица, актриса и блогер. Первая пакистанская звезда социальных сетей. 15 июля 2016 года её задушил родной брат Васим. Это было т. н. «убийство чести», поскольку по мнению Васима, видео-ролики и фотографии, которые Кандил публиковала в социальных сетях, унижали честь семьи (см. ниже «Обстоятельства гибели» ).

Биография

Настоящее имя Фоюза Азим (Fouzia Azeem). По документам родом из бедной семьи в провинциальном Пенджабе. По утверждениям самой Кандил, родилась в семье богатого землевладельца.

Обстоятельства гибели
Артистическая карьера Кандил доставляла вызывала неприятие соседей Васила. По сведениям прессы, один из соседей сказал Василу:
Твоя сестра поет и пляшет в нижнем белье, а ты ведешь роскошную жизнь на её деньги, у тебя нет чести (ghairat)
На пресс-конференции после ареста Васил заявил:
Все дело в том, что она появлялась в Фейсбуке.
Позднее он сказал следователю:
Она сделала нашу жизнь очень трудной и у меня не было иного выхода.
Через три года после убийства суд приговорил Васила к пожизненному заключению.

Социальная роль
Некоторые СМИ сравнивали её с Ким Кардашьян, потому они обе были в центре внимания во многом благодаря своей активности в соцсетях и экстравагантому поведению. Однако пакистанские эксперты считают, что влияние Балоч было иным — она выступала с социальными заявлениями и политическими лозунгами.

Среди прочего, Балоч высказывалась против патриархальной системы своей страны. Для многих девушек Пакистана Балоч стала символом феминизма.

Xprize Names Anousheh Ansari Chief Executive
By Samson Amore
Playa Vista-based Xprize Foundation Inc. on Oct. 18 named technology entrepreneur Anousheh Ansari is its new chief executive.
The technology competition platform announced the change at its annual Visioneering event, also noting that former Chief Executive and co-founder Dr. Peter H. Diamandis will continue as executive chairman of the Xprize Foundation board.
Ansari has been a longtime member of the Xprize Foundation. Her family contributed $10 million to Xprize's inaugural competition in 2004, a contest to lower the cost of commercial spaceflight innovation.
Prior to her involvement with Xprize, Ansari in 2006 founded Prodea Systems Inc., a software company focused on the residential Internet of Things market. She also made history on Sept. 18, 2006 as the first Muslim woman and Iranian astronaut in space, as well as the fourth private explorer to visit space. Ansari also sits on the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council.
"As I take on the helm at Xprize, I feel the same exhilaration as I did the day I was sitting in my capsule atop of my Russian Soyuz rocket – waiting impatiently to be launched into the infinity of the universe that I had dreamed about as a child, and in nervous anticipation of the enormous possibilities in front of me," Ansari said in a statement. "I have been a spokesperson, a board member, an advocate, a sponsor, and one of Xprize's biggest fans, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a passionate group of individuals dedicated to changing the world for the better."
Xprize was founded in 1994 and has launched competitions in a range of fields, including space, oceans, learning, health, energy, environment, transportation, safety and robotics. The organization has awarded more than $140 million in prize purses over the course of its history.
"The Xprize model of crowdsourcing innovation is as important as ever, as increased access to exponential technologies is truly democratizing the ability for anyone to solve today's most pressing issues," Diamandis said. "I have tremendous confidence in Anousheh to help lead Xprize during its next stage of evolution. She is a powerful and inspiring CEO who brings passion, intelligence and tremendous dedication to Xprize and I can't think of a more perfect person to lead our next decade of impact."

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Kommentar/debat › Forskning › peer review
In this commentary, we complement McBride's (2018) paper by setting the debate in its historical context and building on the "rite of passage" notion that Chughtai and Myers (2017) introduced to denote the process of researchers entering a field of practice. We first summarize McBride's (2018) main point concerning whether or not IS is a science and pick up on the systemic nature of IS. In doing so, we incorporate how researchers have historically treated the debate and distinguish science per se from the scientific method. We turn then to reflect on the point that this debate apparently refuses to die. We conclude with a forward-thinking section in which we consider the implications of our considering the topic not for the field as a whole but for individual IS researchers. We end with our own modest call for action in terms of focusing on the everyday practices of IS researchers - specifically, the rites of passage or transitions (and lack of them) we (should?) go through in how we practice our research.

N2 - In this commentary, we complement McBride's (2018) paper by setting the debate in its historical context and building on the "rite of passage" notion that Chughtai and Myers (2017) introduced to denote the process of researchers entering a field of practice. We first summarize McBride's (2018) main point concerning whether or not IS is a science and pick up on the systemic nature of IS. In doing so, we incorporate how researchers have historically treated the debate and distinguish science per se from the scientific method. We turn then to reflect on the point that this debate apparently refuses to die. We conclude with a forward-thinking section in which we consider the implications of our considering the topic not for the field as a whole but for individual IS researchers. We end with our own modest call for action in terms of focusing on the everyday practices of IS researchers - specifically, the rites of passage or transitions (and lack of them) we (should?) go through in how we practice our research.

According to the ancient Greek mythology, goddess Athena, protector of wisdom and the arts, gave people the knowledge of weaving. 'Arachne', a young girl who prided herself that she can weave better than the goddess, was punished for her arrogance and disrespect by Athena, who transformed her into a spider and cursed her to continually weave her web. The weaver 'Arachne', which in Greek means 'spider', gave her name to our loom.
The loom is a machine used for weaving. Weaving is the method of fabric production, in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles. The history of the loom is great. Both in prehistory and antiquity various types of looms are found in all cultures.
A crucial turning point of the history of the loom was when in 1801, Joseph Jacquard using the binary code, built the first automatic loom that could handle complex designs. The loom was controlled by a 'chain of cards', a number of punched cards, laced together into a continuous sequence. Each card defined a weaving shuttle pass.
Unlike traditional looms, Jacquard loom allowed for individual control of each thread, which then allowed the weaving of complex designs. Something similar happens in the case of our own loom.
Exploded drawing of Arachne
Arachne is an interactive weaving system which consist of a DIY loom connected with a computer.
Arachne is controlled by a computer, through Arduino, which is connected with 16 motors that pull the warp. The software which is developed in "processing" analyzesany image and gives commands for weaving. The user is photographed, and then the image is analyzed in 16x23 black and white pixels. Finally, the weaving begins.
The idea of a DIY loom that works with open source software, can easily be used by anyone under an experimental as well as an educational process.
Weaving of Arachne with computer set-up
The project was exhibited in "Arduin & P rocessing Interfaces" Exhibition, Dynamo Project space, Thessaloniki and "Interfaces" - Exhibition of interactive installations BIOS, Athens.

The sun was shining brightly in Jinling today.
In Song Ci's memory, Jinling was rarely this beautiful and relaxing.
At this moment, Liang Yanbei was walking before him with his tied-up ink-black hair swaying gently. From time to time, he would stop, and Song Ci would see his face when he turned around.
"Ci~, hurry up." Liang Yanbei urged him on.
This child was truly annoying. As long as there was no outsider around, he would keep addressing him as Ci.
As a matter of fact, few people would call him by his courtesy name. This was because his coming-of-age1 courtesy name2 ceremony was not grand. They did not even invite any guests to a banquet.
Of course, the more important thing was, he did not really have that many friends.
Song Ci scrunched up his eyebrows. "Liang Yanbei. Call me that again, and I'll tell Uncle. We'll see how he deals with you!"
Liang Yanbei bared his mouth in a grin, "Even if you sent a letter of complaint to the capital, I'd have already left Jinling by the time my father hurries over."
He added arrogantly. "I'm not afraid."
"As expected, he's loathsome…" Song Ci mumbled to himself. He did not understand why this younger cousin brother was so well-liked. It couldn't be because he was good-looking, could it? Or was it because of his glib mouth?
He wasn't adorable at all.
"Liang Yanbei…" A familiar voice suddenly rang out before him. Song Ci jerked and raised his eyes for a look.
And saw Wen Chan standing by the roadside before him. The latter was dressed in a light scarlet robe, with a warm smile on his pretty, fair face. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Oh, Chan…!" Song Ci could not help but feel like shedding tears.
Wen Chan was still that same old Wen Chan. The years had left its marks on his body, making him look more sturdy and mature than before. But when he appeared before Song Ci, he was still that refined Ninth Highness with always a smile on his face.
This was the way he was the first time they met. And now, even after a few years, he was still the same.
It was because of such a smile that Song Ci had, despite being an introvert who was not good at socializing, taken the initiative back then to walk over to Wen Chan and cupped his hands to pay his obeisances.
"Greeting to Your Ninth Highness. This humble one is Liang Shuhong."
He blinked hard and sized up Wen Chan, then said slowly, "Greetings to Your Ninth Highness. This humble one is Song Ci."
Wen Chan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why did you change your name?"
Liang Yanbei said from the side, "Well, well, Elder Cousin Brother. You are the only child in your family. Be careful Uncle and Auntie doesn't beat you up for acting so presumptuously."3
Song Ci realized his slip of the tongue and coughed twice. "Well, for one wandering in the martial fraternity, names and the likes are all merely worldly possessions. Those aren't important."
Both of them burst out laughing at his "wandering in the martial fraternity".
"But Your Ninth Highness, why are you in Jinling?" Song Ci quickly changed the subject.
"You can stop calling me Ninth Highness. I've long left the capital." Wen Chan smiled and said, "I left not long after you did. The places I've been to these years won't be any less than those you've gone to. But you have been away for so long and did not even return home for a look. Your parents have missed you."
"Furthermore, back then, the Zhong Clan fell from power. By all logic, you should have remained in the capital to be the backbone of the Liang Clan. How could you simply just up and leave?" Wen Chan asked again.
Song Ci was momentarily stumped for words. There seemed to be no way he could explain this.
After he consumed the heart blood by mistake and turned into a demon, the only one who knew the truth was Wen Chan and that little youth called Shengsheng. And yet, Wen Chan now seemed to have no knowledge of this matter.
He could only smile helplessly and pretend to be philosophical as he said, "A man must always have his own aspirations. The dog-eat-dog world of the Imperial Court is not the life I want to lead. Didn't you both decide to leave too?"
Liang Yanbei stroked his chin and said doubtfully, "I heard that you have been eating wild herbs and drinking rice congee on the outside these years. You even fought with the beggars for territory, impersonated a Daoist priest to make a living, and even…"
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Song Ci started to cough loudly to drown out Liang Yanbei's voice. He coughed until his entire face reddened.
It was only then Liang Yanbei stopped and asked, "Elder Cousin Brother, are you cold?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine." Song Ci patted his chest. "We haven't met for so long. How about going to the wine tavern for a drink? After all, it's really hard for us to meet each other!"
Wen Chan smiled as he turned to look at Liang Yanbei. "Are you going?"
"How can I not go when Elder Cousin Brother says otherwise?" Liang Yanbei smiled and revealed his teeth. He raised his arm and put it around Song Ci's shoulder. "Let us have a good time today."
Jinling's largest wine tavern was not far from Liang Yanbei's house. They did not even have to take a carriage. They only had to walk for a short distance before reaching it.
The wine from this wine tavern was pretty potent. Song Ci once made a joke out of himself when he drank himself drunk here before. After that, he rarely came here again.
Who would have known that Liang Yanbei would lead him here with his arm around him the moment he let down his guard?
"…" Song Ci's face sank. "I've been too careless…"
"Elder Cousin Brother, drink your fill today. I'll foot the bill." Liang Yanbei generously asked for several jars of the tavern's best wine as soon as he stepped through the door.
Song Ci instantly felt upset. Thinking back to their conversation earlier, he pursed his lips and said, "You guys really think I have no savings after going through numerous hardships outside? I can still afford to pay for the wine!"
"That's not what he means." Wen Chan said, "We are just happy after not seeing you for so long a time. It's the same no matter who forks out this bit of money. What's more, Brother Shuhong, you are a man of great talent and knowledge. I believe you'll be lauded no matter where you go. Of course, you've been doing well."
Touched, Song Ci shed a tear. "Oh Chan, you're still as considerate as ever."
As they spoke, they took their seats. The waiter swiftly served up the wine jars and cups then withdrew from the private room.
Liang Yanbei was younger after all, and he would not let Wen Chan do it himself, so he voluntarily opened the wine jar and filled their cups up for all three of them while saying, "This wine is very potent."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Song Ci had a bad feeling.
"This wine tastes mild, and is even a little sweet, but its delayed effect is no joke. Back then, my Elder Cousin Brother liked to drink this kind of wine, but little did he know that this wine…"
Song Ci intuitively knew it would bode badly for him the moment he heard this, so he hurriedly picked up his wine cup and pressed down on Liang Yanbei's shoulder, "My younger brother, we haven't seen each other for so long. Why are you still the same?" Still as loathsome as ever.
"My elder brother, you too." Liang Yanbei raised his wine cup too after seeing Song Ci raise his. "How about we clink cups?"
"Here, here, here." Song Ci hurriedly bumped cups with him.
Liang Yanbei had learned martial arts from an early age. It was beyond him to learn how to be cultured and refined. So Song Ci did not stand on ceremony with him. As he clinked cups with him, he intentionally used a little more force and spilled out more than half of the wine in the cup. This stunned both Liang Yanbei and Wen Chan.
"This…" Wen Chan asked in amusement. "How much will there be left for you to drink like this?"
Liang Yanbei hurriedly said, "My Elder Cousin Brother certainly didn't do it on purpose. He must have been too happy to see us today."
Song Ci smiled too. He thought, I'm indeed happy to see Wen Chan, just not you.
Both of them lifted their cups and downed the wine. After putting down the cup, Liang Yanbei's foul mouth did not lie idle. "I wasn't done talking earlier…"
"Here, here, here." Song Ci nimbly stood up to pour wine for Liang Yanbei. "How is one cup enough for us to drink? This time, Brother Chan should join us. Let's drink together."
"Elder Cousin Brother." Liang Yanbei held up his wine cup and suppressed his smile. He asked, "Aren't we going to chat? How would it do for us to just drink?"
Song Ci thought, I knew it. Brat, you are doing this on purpose. He put down the wine jar heavily. "All you need to do is to talk less and drink more!"
Wen Chan had long known that Song Ci did not like Liang Yanbei. He had never been able to figure out the reason, but at this time, it was not appropriate for him to ask either. So he stood forward as a peacemaker and said to Song Ci, "Speaking of which, Brother Shuhong, have you met any interesting people in the past few years you were outside? At your age, your family is probably going to urge you to get married, isn't that so?"
Song Ci could not help but cover his face and cry. "We haven't met in years. Can't we just chat about something pleasant?"
All in all, this bout of drinking made Song Ci really happy even if Liang Yanbei was an eyesore from time to time. But he merely kept chatting and laughing with Wen Chan, thawing and reviving the friendship that had been frozen for a few years.
Song Ci felt that if they were to meet again, then this should be the way between them — as if nothing had ever changed; as if time had come to a standstill.
For once, Song Ci did not get drunk. After they parted ways at the wine tavern, Song Ci returned to the Liang Residence. As soon as he stepped through the threshold, You Wen came up to greet him.
"Young Master." He bowed slightly.
Song Ci uttered a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Give the instructions to boil the water. I'm going to take a bath."
"Young Master, Madam told this slave earlier to wait for you at the entrance. She said to ask you to make a trip to the side hall when you return." You Wen said.
Song Ci changed directions and headed for the side hall. "Why is Mother looking for me?"
"This slave has no idea either." You Wen followed behind him.
Madam Liang noticed him as soon as he walked to the entrance of the side hall. She beckoned to him. "Ci-er, come over quickly."
He first took a look inside the hall and saw a maiden in yellow sitting on the side seat4 in the hall. She had makeup on her face and a jade green hairpin in her hair. She was the picture of bashfulness with her face slightly lowered.
During this time, that maiden even raised her eyes to sweep a shy glance at him.
Although the people in Xiliang were open-minded, it was still somewhat inappropriate for a man and a woman to meet each other in the same hall. What's more when Song Ci could tell at a glance who this maiden was.
He instantly cupped his hands to Madam Liang. "Mother, I fell down when I was at the entrance earlier. My butt is hurting now. I'm on my way to look for Physician Huang to take a look."
"Oh my, what a child…" After hearing this, Madam Liang glanced at the maiden before chiding him. "There's a lady here. Can't you be a little more mindful of your words? Alright, hurry up and go. Don't leave it hurting."
Song Ci bowed and retreated. As he walked away, he even remembered to limp and put on a good act.
He had not walked far when he heard that maiden say, "Auntie Liang, Wei-er shall make her move first. It looks like Ci-gege doesn't really want to see me. He was still fine when he arrived, yet one of his legs became lame when he left…"
These words were deliberately intended for his ears. But Song Ci did not even hesitate as he left without turning back.
He said, "You Wen, prepare the water. I'm going to bathe and sleep."
"Young Master, maybe you should wait for a while. I reckon Madam will still come to look for you later." You Wen lowered his eyes. His clothes were impeccably neat and unruffled.
Song Ci glanced at him out of the corners of his eyes and muttered. "You bear a slight resemblance to him. But you are not as likable as him…"
It was as if You Wen did not hear him as he obediently followed behind him.
Song Ci suddenly felt a little restless, but he did not know where this feeling had originated from. There was nothing in front of him that felt off to him at present. Yet there seemed to be something odd about his emotions.
He looked up at the scenery in the garden. Falling petals among the breeze. Flowing water splashing the bridge.
This was the Liang Residence he was familiar with, the people he was acquainted with.
Song Ci took a deep breath. Even this scent was familiar.
He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and mumbled as he comforted himself. "Let's wait a little longer."
Rong.Likable.Bai: Don't wait. Come back quickly.
Just to clarify, Liang Shuhong is his original name. "Ci" his courtesy name, so he's also called Liang Ci.

弱冠, a man's 20th birthday, i.e., coming of age at 20 for a male.
字 A courtesy name, also known as a style name, is a name bestowed upon one at adulthood besides one's given name.
Liang is his family name, and as the (only) son, he is expected to carry on the family name. Changing his surname not only means he's not continuing the family line but also that he's cutting off ties with his parents and clan—it's a sign of disrespect, especially in those days where filial piety was a big thing.
The host usually sits in the center, with the guests at the side.

Everything but the Clouds
Category Members NewsPosted on: 15/12/2017 14/01/2020 Tweet
As a part of the Platform Games at Babycastles exhibition, Patrick LeMieux provides this analysis and critique of Cory Arcangel's 'Super Mario Clouds'.
"In didactic texts, artist talks, personal websites, and private interviews Cory Arcangel describes Super Mario Clouds as "an old Mario Brothers cartridge which I modified to erase everything but the clouds." Exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2004, 2009, 2011, and 2015 the game's blue sky and leftward floating cloud forms have come to represent not only Arcangel's twenty-first century pop art practice but one horizon of videogames as an artistic medium. However, attempting to reverse engineer Super Mario Clouds according to the artist's original source code distributed in exhibition catalogues, documentary videos, DIY websites, and GitHub repositories reveals that Arcangel's ROM hack does not actually contain Nintendo's ROM. Despite claims of erasing "everything but the clouds," there is no erasure. There is a discrepancy between art historical accounts and the technical operations of Arcangel's artwork. This video documents the history of Super Mario Clouds and demonstrates the results of my own attempt to "erase everything but the clouds," a ROM hacking exercise that produces a different game altogether. This example of practice-based research and digital art history operates at the intersection of close playing, critical code studies, and media archeology to articulate the intractable materiality of the mechanical, electrical, computational, and even economic processes that characterize videogames as technical media and ultimately disrupt Arcangel's narrative of erasure."

Q: How to parse a very huge XML file from a remote server rails I have a very large XML from a remote server which I have to parse and get the data.
I have tried to open the file using the open() function but it is taking more than 15 minutes and still no response.
Then I tried Nokogiri::XML(open(URL)) where URL is the link which contains the data to parse.
Also, I have tried using Net::HTTP::Get but again with no fruitful results.
Can anyone suggest which gem and function can be used to parse the data?

A: As mentioned before, Nokogiri::XML::Reader is your friend here. The example in the documentation works fine if you have the file locally.
It is also possible to parse the data as soon as it comes in, fully streaming. This involves getting the data in chunks (e.g. using Net::HTTP) and connecting it to the Nokogiri::XML::Reader by means of an IO.pipe.
Example (adapted from this gist):
require 'nokogiri'
require 'net/http'

# setup request
uri = URI("http://example.com/articles.xml")
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)

# read response in a separate thread using a pipe to communicate
rd, wr = IO.pipe
reader_thread = Thread.new do
  Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: uri.scheme == 'https') do |http|
    http.request(req) do |response|
      response.read_body {|chunk| wr.write(chunk) }
    end
    wr.close
  end
end

# parse the incoming data chunk by chunk
reader = Nokogiri::XML::Reader(rd)
reader.each do |node|
  next if node.node_type != Nokogiri::XML::Reader::TYPE_ELEMENT
  next if node.name != "article"

  # now that we have the desired fragment, put it to use
  doc = Nokogiri::XML(node.outer_xml)

A: If you are working with large XML files then you can use Nokogiri::XML::Reader class. I have successfully opened 1 GB files without any problems. For optimal performance you could download the file first and then parse it using XML::Reader class localy on your server
The usage is something like this (replace XML_FILE with your path):
Nokogiri::XML::Reader(File.open(XML_FILE)).each do |node|
  if node.name == 'Node' && node.node_type == Nokogiri::XML::Reader::TYPE_ELEMENT
    puts node.outer_xml # you can do something like this also Nokogiri::XML(node.outer_xml).at('./Node')
  end
end

Hope it helps


The Croatan National Forest is one of the gems of Eastern North Carolina. This expansive forest of 161,000 acres remains somewhat undiscovered even to many of the native Eastern North Carolinian's.
The large variety of landscape in Croatan provide a protected and mostly undisturbed habitat for quite a few different species of animals. You will find white tail deer, black bear, turkey, squirrel, rabbits, raccoon, muskrat, and mink and many species of snakes.
The Venus flytrap (Dionaea Musipula) thrive in the Croatan Forest. This species of meat eating plants are found only in the eastern coastal plains of North and South Carolina. The Venus Flytrap attracts insects to it's open hinged leaves and then zap, in one tenth of a second it snaps shut and starts secreting digestive juices. A horrible way to go no doubt. In addition to the Venus Flytrap you will find other carnivorous plant including Sundew, Butterwort, and Pitcher plants.
The many creeks, bays, marshes and swamps provide an excellent array of habitats for a variety of bird life including Bald Eagles, Osprey, Herring, and the endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers.
The Croatan with it large lakes and untamed creeks, offers many opportunities for those that like to transverse by canoe or kayak. Look for occasional alligator, wading birds, ducks, and many other species of animals while quietly taking in the beautiful landscape. For larger bodies of water try the Neuse, White Oak, or Newport Rivers.
For those looking to bond a little with nature try hiking along one of the three trails that carve through the forest and over the creeks.
There are several trails that parallel Island Creek and takes you through a hardwood forest that have some of the largest hardwoods you will find in Eastern North Carolina. Island Creek is particularly beautiful in the fall and spring as you get to see the changing colors.
The longest of the trails the Neusiok is 26 miles in length and passes through pine and hardwood forest, pocosins, and along the Neuse River. There are no developed camping facilities but primitive camping is permitted.
Located in the Cedar Point recreation area which offers camping, picnicking, boat ramp, fishing pier, and canoeing, this trail provides excellent opportunities to view wildlife and explore a salt marsh.
Hunting and fishing are allowed under N.C. state regulations. Call the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(919-662-4381) for information on licenses and regulations.


Can anyone explain what this odd thing is (see photo)? It was found on a sand beach along the Mississippi river in Minneapolis in early September. It was solid and it had the consistency of a jellyfish, but appears to have formed along a strand of reed (seen running through the middle) or some other plant-based material.
