What is Prison Really Like? Violence, Support and Rehabilitation Behind Bars
The media is often filled with stories about UK prisons; more often than not, damning reports about overcrowding, violence, drug abuse and squalor.
Recent reports highlighting appalling conditions in HMP Pentonville, Aylesbury and Cookham Wood have done nothing to help improve peoples' opinions of prison life, and as a result, it's unsurprising that most people regard prison as a frightening, threatening, unpleasant environment to be in. But what are the facts? What is prison really like? Does it offer adequate support and opportunities for rehabilitation? We got in touch with a few inmates to give us the lowdown on what to expect when you're serving a prison sentence.
Are All Prisons the Same? A Quick Clarification
The UK has a huge number of prisons, from high security category A prisons such as HMP Belmarsh and Frankland, to more relaxed category D open prisons like Blantyre House. As you might expect, conditions vary considerably, depending on what level of security is required.
However, there's a lot of discrepancy between the individual prisons in a specific category too, with some performing considerably better in government inspections than others. Generally speaking, privately run prisons are also quite different to prisons run by the government.
Humiliation and Control?
We spoke to an ex-inmate, who has served time in 6 prisons in total, so was in a good position to highlight the differences between them. He told us that when he arrived in one category C prison, it was very relaxed, and he wasn't even strip-searched, whereas in another category B prison, he was subjected to appalling treatment by three male staff, who 'screamed right into my face "Have you ever had sex with another man" while I was naked and my arms up in the air.' He concluded: 'I think this was all about humiliation and control.'
Levels of Violence
We also asked some inmates to tell us their experiences in prison in terms of violence, as this is an issue that concerns people greatly before they are incarcerated. One current inmate informed us that 'prisons are full of violence, but you're alright if you keep yourself to yourself and keep yourself to yourself.' He also added that he 'has a lot of mates on my wing'.
Another ex-inmate told us that he never 'personally felt at risk, because I'm well-built and ex-Army so I always felt I could look after myself.' However, he adds that he 'did witness some quite serious violence, including a "jugging" (throwing boiling water and sugar into someone's face), a number of stabbings and quite a few punishment beatings.' However, he clarified that 'most prisoners kept their heads down' which made the risks 'pretty manageable'.
(you can read more about one of the prisoners we spoke to by viewing their blog here)
Support in Prisons
Of course, regardless of how violent the behaviour of other inmates, prison can still be an intimidating prospect. We wanted to find out what the levels of support were like in the prisons. The government often talks about rehabilitation – but what access to support and rehabilitation do the prisoners really have?
Again, the answers we received were fascinating, not to mention worrying. One response we received was: 'Generally speaking, the prison system warehoused me for my entire sentence in closed prisons… the prison authorities didn't much care about me or my fellow prisoners.' He also informed us that he 'once spent 6 months in one prison without speaking to an officer, other than asking for lavatory paper', and 'in Cat-D, I often felt I was working harder than most of the staff, since I was tasked with setting up and running a prisoner advice centre.'
Another inmate, who told us that he had suicidal thoughts and suffered with depression, informed us that he 'didn't feel supported at all' and added that it took nearly 9 months for him to gain access to mental health support. He told us that 'the staff just don't seem to care – they never do anything for you.'
Focusing on Resettlement and Rehabilitation
The above comments indicate a lack of support, even for vulnerable inmates. What about rehabilitation? Sadly, it seems that rehabilitation doesn't seem to be a priority – if the comments from prisoners are anything to go by.
We heard that 'prisoners were behind cell doors for 22 or 23 hours a day' and that 'most offending behaviour courses are meaningless psycho-babble.' 'Drug and alcohol counselling is pretty poor quality' and 'there is no treatment or support available for those with gambling addictions'.
However, the picture isn't entirely bleak. We were told that 'plenty of prisoners' do manage to rehabilitate successfully, but that was 'because they genuinely wanted to change and did this for themselves and their families'. An ex-inmate concluded: 'Any positive chance is usually in spite of imprisonment, rather than because of it'.
Have you served a prison sentence? If so, what were your experiences like? We always welcome comments from ex-inmates and current inmates alike, so do get in touch with us via our Facebook page if you'd like your voice to be heard. We'll do our best to include your comments, where relevant, in future blog posts.

How can we challenge this dominant but destructive economic assumption?
May 24, 2018 GlenAnderson Conservatism and Right Wing, Criminal Justice (Also see Death Penalty), Economics, Labor, Capitalism, Trade, Poverty (Also see Taxes), Environment, Examples of Parallax Views, Guns, Human Rights, International Affairs (Click to see specific nations and regions), Military Spending, Nonviolence (Also see Peace, Conflict Resolution, Organizing & Activism), Nuclear Weapons, Oil (Also see Environment and Climate), Organizing & Activism (Also see Nonviolence, Outreach), Our Current Political Crisis (Also see Trump and Trumpism), Outreach, Framing/Reframing (Also see Organizing & Activism), Peace (See Foreign Policy and specific nations and regions -- and ALSO see Military Spending and Nuclear Weapons), Religion and Spirituality 0
Embedded very deeply in our American culture — and many other nations' cultures too — is an assumption that is embedded so deeply that nobody recognizes it, let alone challenge it.
The assumption is this: It is OK if what I do kills people, so long as I'm making money from what I do.
At the surface level — the explicit level — if you were to ask people whether it is moral to kill other people, they would say "no."
But below the surface — at the implicit level — our society tolerates behaviors that knowingly kill people because powerful forces are making money from doing so. People who say they are "pro-life" are among the people who knowingly kill people in socially approved ways.
THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES:
EXAMPLE #1: Tobacco kills many people, but tobacco companies are allowed to exist and to profit. Tobacco kills many more people than illegal drugs, but our society has passed laws outlawing certain drugs, and our criminal justice system vigorously enforces those laws and imprisons people who break them. Tobacco companies, farmers and retailers make money from killing people.
EXAMPLE #2: Millions of Americans serve in the U.S. military. The military's explicit purpose is to kill people when higher-up bosses order the troops to kill them. In many cases they kill people from a distance (from drones, airplanes, missile launchers, etc.), so they don't have to see their victims, thereby providing a psychological escape from the actual reality that the troops are indeed killing human beings. Military employees and weapons manufacturers — and their Congressional enablers — make money from killing people.
EXAMPLE #3: Although some guns are designed for hunting animals for food, a great many guns are designed for killing human beings. Gun manufacturers and their lobbyists spend millions of dollars to PREVENT reasonable safeguards that would reduce the numbers of killings. Congress and state legislators keep refusing to take reasonable, modest actions. Even if they did, guns would continue to murder many, many Americans every year, because the gun manufacturers are making money from them.
EXAMPLE #4: Environmental pollution and climate disruption kill people. Highly profitable business corporations generate wastes and pollution (including greenhouse gas pollution) that they know are deadly, but they do it anyway because they make money from the fossil fuels and other products. They don't want to reduce their profits even slightly in order to save people's lives. They strongly support the Republican Party and the Trump regime, which is aggressively eliminating the few environmental protections we had and aggressively promoting more pollution and more wasteful use of fossil fuels, because those politicians are extremely corrupted by money and political power, so they knowingly kill people through pollution and climate disruption because they want to make money and increase their political power.
MANY, MANY OTHER EXAMPLES EXIST.
The economic system is addicted to these deadly corruptions. Only nonviolent grassroots organizing can change our economic system — and our overall political/economic/social culture — so that ethics and nonviolence will be prioritized over making money.
Public frustration with endless war. Odd implications result from this.
The world could save $20 TRILLION by getting serious about climate change.

Q: python how does this dictionary get populated has data attribute on return     self.mem_writes = {}

def get_memory(self, address, size):
    try:
        return self.mem_writes[(address, size)].data
    except KeyError:
        pass
    return None

mem_writes isn't used anywhere else except for this function I wonder how does it ever get populated with data?
I assume it's a dictionary holding address with size as the key value and the data is binded as the value am I wrong here?
I still can't figure out how it's getting populated I can't even test this on Python (command line)
I get error
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'data'

Yet the original script runs without any errors
I was looking for anything in the script with .data and this is all I found
import struct

class DWORD(object):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.data = struct.pack('<I', value)

But there is no connection with DWORD to int that links them up together.. yes I know DWORD the name is a unsigned int but that means nothing and yes DWORD class isn't used anywhere in the script so it must be linked somehow but I can't figure that out, it must be a class that's not implemented yet.
I was looking at all the get_memory calls and they look like this
value = self.converter.get_memory(addr, 4)
value, = struct.unpack('<I', value)

data = self.converter.get_memory(ind_addr + ii, 1)
index, = struct.unpack('<B', data)

data = self.converter.get_memory(table_addr + ii*scale, 4)
addr, = struct.unpack('<I', data)

does that coma right before the struct.unpack is used to put stuff back into .data of the return result of the get_memory I find it really strange since I have never encountered this in any other programming languages.
Where the value of the get_memory gets retrieved is pretty easy to find.. it looks like this
try:
    data = get_memory(address, 16)
except NotImplementedError, e:
    print 'Could not get memory for address %X' % address
    raise e

yes the data in the case above should become a byte array of 16 bytes.
Here is the original script: https://github.com/matpow2/cuwo/blob/master/terraingen/converter.py

Comoros 5000 Francs banknote of 1984 – 2005
23 Jul 2019 Tue
The Comoros is a volcanic archipelago off Africa's east coast, in the warm Indian Ocean waters of the Mozambique Channel. The nation state's largest island, Grande Comore (Ngazidja) is ringed by beaches and old lava from active Mt. Karthala volcano. Around the port and medina in the capital, Moroni, are carved doors and a white colonnaded mosque, the Ancienne Mosquée du Vendredi, recalling the islands' Arab heritage.
It became part of the French colonial empire in the end of 19th century before becoming independent in 1975. The Comoros is one of the world's poorest countries. The Comoros Franc is the official currency of Comoros. It is nominally subdivided into 100 centimes, although no centime denominations have ever been issued. The first Comorian paper money was issued in 1920.
The note depicted alongside is a 5000 Francs banknote that was issued from 1984 to 2005. The obverse has a view of Moroni harbour with boats and Badjanani Mosque also known as old Friday Mosque in Moroni, and the Grande Comore Island. The centre has a middle aged traditionally dressed Comorian couple. The reverse has the portrait of Said Mohamed Ben Chech Abdallah Cheikh in centre with the bounty of Comoros: fish, shells and fruits. This multi-coloured note has a crescent on Maltese cross as its watermark.

The Curator of the Met's Celebrated Michelangelo Show Just Won the First $100,000 Vilcek Prize to Support Immigrant Achievement
Carmen C. Bambach is a curator of Italian and Spanish drawings at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Sarah Cascone, February 4, 2019

Carmen C. Bambach, a curator of Italian and Spanish drawings at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, has been named the recipient of the first annual Vilcek Prize for Excellence, a $100,000 unrestricted grant that will be given each year to recognize an immigrant—or a US-born champion of immigrant causes—who has had a significant impact on American society and world culture.
Bambach was traveling in the UK for work when the call came in from Jan Vilcek, who founded the Vilcek Foundation with his wife, Marica Vilcek, in 2000 to celebrate immigrant contributions in the arts and sciences. "I had this very mysterious voicemail from Jan saying, 'do call me back, I think you will want to speak with me,'" Bambach told artnet News. When she learned about the prize, "I said 'Am I dreaming? Am I still jet-lagged?' It was pretty much a shock."
The new prize serves to fill what the Vilceks saw as gaps in the current award program, begun in 2006, which recognizes individuals in different disciplines each year. Jan, a biomedical scientist, began the prize with science in mind. Marica, who herself worked at the Met for 32 years, expanded the scope to include the arts and humanities.
"Eventually, I came to the conclusion that there are certain areas that were not covered, especially for curators, economists, and journalists," Marica told artnet News of the decision to introduce a new award category. The foundation's existing prizes are awarded by jury, but for the excellence prize, she and Jan will choose the winner, pending approval by the foundation president and board.
Personal experience may have influenced Bambach's selection in the inaugural prize. "Everybody in the world is aware of the Metropolitan Museum, but the visitors are not really thinking about who is responsible for it," Marica said, recalling an acquaintance who told her that working at the museum and looking at paintings all day sounded like an ideal job.

A Renaissance expert, Bambach curated the Met's 2017–18 blockbuster "Michelangelo: Divine Draftsman and Designer," which drew some 700,000 visitors. In addition to curating major exhibitions for artists including Bronzino, Correggio, and Parmigianino, Bambach has also spent the last 24 years completing a four-volume book on Leonardo da Vinci that will finally hit bookshelves this spring, published by Yale University Press.
An overarching look at the Renaissance master's life and career that seeks to humanize the genius of mythological stature, Leonardo da Vinci Rediscovered was a massive undertaking, encompassing his entire output—drawings, paintings, manuscripts, and more—viewed through a biographical framework. The tome aims to show Leonardo both as a product of his time and a figure who transcends it.
"I've kind of done my day life and my night life as an art historian," Bambach said. "I've been pretty much burning the candle at both ends." (She is also responsible for the museum's current display of four Leonardo drawings and numerous works showing his influence, staged in anticipation of the 500th anniversary of the artist's death.)

Bambach isn't yet sure how she will use her prize money, but the windfall comes at a key moment, given all that she and her late husband have poured into the ambitious book project. "To do really important scholarship, really good creative work, is an investment of time, as well as an economic investment. A lot is necessary to support it," she said. "It's time for a vacation! I'm thinking that I will perhaps not write another four-volume book."
"Carmen is an incredible scholar," Marica said. But she and her husband also wanted to highlight Bambach's accomplishments specifically as an immigrant who was born in Chile. "My husband and I are both immigrants," Marica added. "When we came here, we had absolutely nothing. If you come as an immigrant, you are a zero and you really have to work hard to accomplish something."
They founded the foundation and beginning awarding unrestricted grants as a means of passing along the opportunity they found in the US. They've honored such figures as Jamaican-born artist Nari Ward, the 2017 winner of the Vilcek Prize for the Arts. (Unlike the existing prizes, the new excellence prize is also open to candidates who are in the US as well so long as their work supports immigrants.)
"Considering the political situation that we are in right now, I think it is wonderful that immigrants are being recognized for their contributions to this country," Bambach said, noting that her family fled Chile following the 1973 coup d'etat. "It's important to be aware that this country is built by immigrants."

New California Independent Contractor Test Applies Retroactively According to the Ninth Circuit
May 7, 2019 | Author: Tyler M. Paetkau
Law Firm: Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP - Palo Alto Office
As we have previously reported, the California Supreme Court last year set forth a revolutionary new "ABC test" for determining whether workers are properly classified as employees or independent contractors, making it dramatically more difficult for California employers to lawfully retain independent contractors.
On May 2, 2019, in Vazquez v. Jan-Pro Franchising Int'l, Inc., the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the Supreme Court of California's landmark "ABC" decision, Dynamex Ops. West Inc. v. Superior Court, 4 Cal. 5th 903 (2018), applies retroactively. Vazquez does not bind state courts, and employers may still argue that Dynamex does not apply in some circumstances (e.g., if a claim does not arise under the wage orders or if the defendant is an alleged joint employer). But California businesses must be prepared to address the ABC test and consider its retroactive application.
In applying Dynamex retroactively, the Ninth Circuit noted the "default rule" that judicial decisions have retroactive effect, and reasoned that Dynamex did not fall into an exception under California law for decisions that "change[d] a settled rule on which the parties below have relied." Vazquez, slip op. at 23. The Ninth Circuit also found persuasive that the Supreme Court of California summarily denied the defendant's petition for review in Dynamex, which "strongly suggested that the usual retroactive application, rather than the exception, should apply to its newly announced rule." Id. at 24. The Ninth Circuit also concluded that retroactive application of Dynamex did not violation constitutional due process but instead served the remedial purposes of the wage orders. Id. at 27-28.
All California businesses that use the services of independent contractors should consult counsel and audit their contractor practices in light of Dynamex and Vasquez.

Q: How to check if ajax return exist? I have an ajax request:
$.ajax({
            url: 'DBConnector.php',
            type: 'GET',
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function(data){
//check if exist
}
});

This is what i return:
echo json_encode(array("data" => $returnValue , "status" => "false"));

How to check if status exist(not to be false but really if it exist)?

A: You can try the following:
$.ajax({
    url: 'DBConnector.php',
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data)
    {
        if(data.status !== undefined)
        {
            //YOUR CODE HERE
        }
    }
});

It will check if the status exists or not.


Sorry, this particular pair of "ancient coin" earrings are no longer available. Though some similar ones may be available soon.
These two short silver earrings have a pair of similar bronze coins, which actually have different images of a King or God's portrait with a Shiva trident, crescent moon and star. I'm assuming the Trident means these are pre Buddhism.
They have a medium to deep patina indicating their age, don't carelessly polish it off, when using a dry Sliver Polishing cloth on the silver.
There are also some of these earrings listed in our Modern Jewellery section, as the Sterling Silver settings are modern.
Size: H 24 mm x W 15 mm, including hook.

The military events of the Second World War have been the subject of historical debate from 1945 to the present. It mattered greatly who won, and fighting was the essential determinant of victory or defeat. In Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War a team of twenty-five leading historians offer a comprehensive and authoritative new account of the war's military and strategic history. Part I examines the military cultures and strategic objectives of the eight major powers involved. Part II surveys the course of the war in its key theatres across the world, and assesses why one side or the other prevailed there. Part III considers, in a comparative way, key aspects of military activity, including planning, intelligence, and organisation of troops and matérial, as well as guerrilla fighting and treatment of prisoners of war.

10 - The war in the West, 1939–1940
By Karl-Heinz Frieser, Harvey L. Mendelsohn
In the eighteenth century, the British developed a grand strategy that was designed to minimize their weaknesses and play to their strengths. France signed an armistice, with the result that the foundation of British military strategy, the assumption that the French army would at least be strong enough to hold the Germans in the west, had collapsed. In the second half of the year British gained allies whose combined military strength, when it was fully mobilized, meant that the defeat of the Axis Powers would only be a matter of time. Tensions between British and American military strategists about the future course of the war first emerged in April 1942. In November 1943, the War Office had earmarked a dozen divisions for OVERLORD. The British effort in the war against Japan focused on the Burma front and the defence of India. British military strategy reflected the strategic culture that its policy-makers had developed since the eighteenth century.
12 - Operations on the Eastern Front, 1941–1945
By David R. Stone
In 1895, Japan's rise in industrial and military power first found its imperial destiny in its war on decadent China, with its seizure of Taiwan and effective hegemony over Korea. In October 1938, after the fall of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek told senior commanders that his initial strategy of aggressive defence had been successfully concluded. In February and then in April 1941, Chiang informed the Americans about operation BARBAROSSA. The Combined Chiefs of Staff of the American and British armed forces would determine worldwide war strategy, except in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but also, in effect, in China. On 7 December 1941, at Pearl Harbor, Japan struck the famous first blow. For Chiang Kai-shek, the threat to China's interests posed by the strategy of Europe first confirmed the value of a Soviet Red Army attack on Japanese forces in China. The civilian economy of Nationalist China was under near-blockade even before the Japanese took Rangoon.
13 - The Mediterranean and North Africa, 1940–1944
By Simon Ball
This chapter explores the components of French strategic analysis and decision-making down to the defeat of June 1940. It proposes that the leaders of France had no choice from the mid-1920s onward but to adopt the grand strategy, though not all the operational campaign plans, that they utilized in 1939-40. The French security policy during the 1920s was about thinking of the relationships between diplomatic commitments and military structures, driven by defensive and even idealistic motivations. In the 1930s, Louis Barthou announced that France would take the steps it judged necessary to ensure its security by national means. France needed to hone its military muscles, as well as strap on diplomatic protection. The best-known expression of the military revival at the heart of French grand strategy was the eastern frontier fortifications. However, France was slower than Britain or Germany in developing radar, and its air defence system remained weak right into 1940.
By Mary Kathryn Barbier
All German strategies before and during the Second World War were conditioned by the position of Germany, like its predecessor Prussia, in the middle of Europe. Over several months, Adolf Hitler sent the German navy and air force, both carrying troops, to occupy Denmark and Norway in April 1940. The new plan reduced emphasis on the Atlantic ports, probably in view of the occupation of Norway, and instead placed the emphasis on the left or southern thrust through the Ardennes to the channel, on the correct assumption that the British and French would send troops to assist the invaded countries. The defeat of the Soviet Union would encourage Japan to move in East Asia and keep the United States preoccupied there until Germany was ready to fight and defeat that country. Hitler personally promised Japanese foreign minister Matsuoka Yosuke, that Germany would declare war on the United States when Japan did, and the Japanese received similar assurances from Benito Mussolini.

With the final between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians having been played out at Eden Gardens on 24th May, another season of the Indian Premier League has come to an end. Apart from the occasional controversies and corruption cases, the tournament has had quite a successful run, by most commercial measures over the last eight years, especially considering the novelty of the concept to cricket as well as to India. But what exactly is the size of the IPL market in India and how is it distributed among the various states and regions?
In 2011, Nate Silver came up with a methodology to estimate the geographic appeal and market size of each college football team in USA using data from Google trends. Later, he used the same to estimate the fan following in media market of each National Hockey League. We can use the same method, in slightly altered fashion, to get some idea about the market of Indian Premier League.
This graph represents how the number of Google searches for all Indian Premier League related terms, as percentage of the overall number of Google searches on a per capita basis, has moved over the years. The data is normalized in a way that the highest point in the graph is always 100.
Some of the states/UTs, especially the smaller ones, have not been represented on the table as the search volume in those states is too less to be recorded by Google. As you can imagine, this table gives us an idea about the percentage of Indian Premier League related searches carried out by the people of each state. For example, if 1% of the total Google searches by an average user of West Bengal are related to the IPL, 0.95% of the Google searches by an average user of Karnataka are related to the IPL and 0.48% of the Google searches by an average user of Chhattisgarh are related to the same. Thus, this number can be taken as a proxy for the relative following of IPL among the different states.
But how do we estimate the total number of IPL followers in India? Though there is no concrete number available, media reports indicate that the number of unique television viewers for this season of Indian Premier League stands at around 20 Crores. Now a lot of people may have just viewed an IPL match in passing, whereas a number of devoted followers of the tournament may not have a television at home. But, overall, it looks reasonable to estimate the number of IPL followers in India to be somewhere around 20 Crores, or around 15.5% of the total population.
Uttar Pradesh, mostly on account of the sheer size of its population has the highest number of IPL followers, followed by Maharashtra at a distant second. However, Uttar Pradesh is also one of the poorest states in India and as a result, it may not be as lucrative a market as the table above suggests. Considering this, in the following table, the number of IPL followers has been multiplied by the per capita income of each state and union territories to arrive at the relative market size of each state.
Maharashtra has the largest share of the market in terms of actual rupee value. Six of the top eight largest markets are currently being represented in the form of existing IPL teams, the notable omissions being Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Here is the market share of the existing IPL teams in terms of both number of followers and market size.
The eight existing teams cover almost 69% of the existing IPL market in India, which may be considered more or less acceptable. However, some of the teams have very low base market. Kings XI Punjab in particular ranks last both in terms of both number of IPL followers as well as the rupee market size. Even if we add the markets of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir to the markets of Punjab and Chandigarh, its standings would not improve much. For that matter, even the market of Kerala (which was represented by Kochi Tuskers Kerala for one season) does not appear a very lucrative one with a market share of just 2.42%.
So, where can the IPL expand next? In terms of sheer volume, Uttar Pradesh is the most obvious answer. It has a population which is more than 15% of India's population. Also, the interest for IPL is strong there, in spite of it currently not being represented by any IPL team. However, Uttar Pradesh is also desperately poor with per capita income among the lowest in India. And for any IPL franchise to succeed financially, it has to be based out a city which shall ensure consistently high gate receipts. Uttar Pradesh currently has only one international stadium, the Green Park located in Kanpur, and as a result, the UP based franchise will have to operate out of Kanpur. Kanpur, however, does not feature among the top 15 cities in India in terms of GDP (Lucknow does, but it does not have an international stadium yet). Kanpur also ranks only 11th in terms of population among the urban agglomerations.
On the other hand, it is difficult to explain Gujarat not having an IPL franchise. Although the potential market of Gujarat is slightly less than that of Uttar Pradesh, it is still higher than that of Rajasthan, Delhi-Haryana combined, Punjab or Kerala. It has as many as three international stadiums (located at Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Vadodara) managed by three different state cricket associations. It also has a fourth one in Surat ready and waiting for approval. Also, Ahmedabad and Surat feature in the list of top 15 cities in India in terms of GDP as well as in population, ranked at #7 and #9 respectively in both the lists, with all the top 6 cities currently being represented by an IPL franchise. Pune, ranked at 8th, also had a temporary franchise before it was disbanded. In fact, Indian Cricket League (ICL), the precursor to IPL, had a franchise based out of Ahmedabad, called the Ahmedabad Rockets. Gujarat also has a thriving business class, who should have been willing to invest in a home based franchise. That it did not is perplexing.
We may look at the amount shelled out in the form of investment for buying these particular franchisees and compare the same to the base market size of these franchisees.
Kings XI Punjab was the most over-valued franchise, significantly deviating from the mean fee forked out for every rupee of base market available, whereas the owners of Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings got more than the average bang for their bucks. The remaining franchise fees were clustered around the average values.
However, our analysis till now assumes that only the teams get their followings from the base markets only. In reality though, considering the mass level of migration, especially in the big metros of the country, as well as the star power of celebrity owners and big name players, franchise affiliation is expected to cut across regions, some more so than others.
One way to find out the relative size of fan base of various teams is again to compare the average value of search index related to the names of each IPL franchise over a period of time. For example, if the average search index value for 'Chennai Super Kings' related terms is 100 and that for 'Kolkata Knight Riders' related terms is 90 over a period of time, it probably means that Kolkata Knight Riders had 90% of the market share being enjoyed by Chennai Super Kings over that period of time.
Selecting the time period is a matter of contention in this case. Should we select the entire time period dating back to the beginning of the first season of the IPL and average it out? The problem with this approach is that it takes in a lot of very old values, specially the values belonging to the initial years when some of the teams were not so successful or probably had not invested much in branding and marketing. Plus, more importantly, it does not capture the market value of Sunrisers Hyderabad which came into existence only three years ago. Another method is to look at the average over the last one year. But then, we also include the period of the Chempions League T20 when the searches related to the teams which have qualified show a spike, whereas those which have not largely remain stable. For the purpose of this article, we have averaged the search index results for each team for the period between April and June (i.e. when IPL is held) over the last three years. (For this year, we have only considered data till 24th May, 2015 i.e. the date of the IPL final). This ensures that only the IPL related searches are taken into consideration (and not off-season corruption related ones like in case of certain teams), all the seasons of Sunrisers Hyderabad are considered and old values are discarded as well as single season aberrations are not given disproportionate value.
This may not be such a robust calculation as far as exact market shares are concerned. But it does help us get some idea about the relative popularity of various IPL franchises. And the answer is not very surprising. CSK, the most successful IPL team in the history of the tournament, has as much as one-fourth of the total market size. The top four teams (i.e. CSK, RCB, KKR and MI) end up getting around ¾ of the total market share among themselves.
For validation of the results obtained here, we may also look at the relative number of followers of the respective teams in social media platforms like facebook and twitter. Here also the numbers more or less represent the same picture.
Chennai Super Kings leads the table in google searches and twitter as well as on an average, narrowly missing out on facebook. There is close contest for the next three places with very little to separate between KKR, RCB and MI; however, KKR finishes second on an average thanks to its superior facebook presence, while RCB slightly edges out MI for the third position. There is no dispute though, for the last four positions, with Delhi Daredevils ending up with the wooden spoon in all the three platforms.
The top four teams (let us call them the 'Big Four') have a number of things in common. First of all, they have had pretty successful IPL runs. In fact, together, they have won the tournament six out of eight times. 13 out of the 16 possible finalists in the eight IPL tournaments come from this group of teams. They have also big base markets available to draw their fan following from. They have big brand, extremely recognizable star cricketers or owners, representing them from the beginning of the IPL (Mahinder Singh Dhoni for CSK, Shahrukh Khan for KKR, Virat Kohli for RCB and Sachin Tendulkar for MI). They have also formed a core of at least 4-5 successful players, available to the teams at least for the last 5 seasons, thus providing a sense of consistency for the brands.
Among the four teams with less following, SRH is the new kid on the block and is only three years old. Although it has one of the largest markets available to itself, it desperately needs to start performing well to attract a sizeable fan following. Among the other teams, most have been inconsistent in their performances, guilty of chopping and changing players all too frequently and often, do not have the star power to attract a loyal, sizeable fan following. They also do not have very large base markets available; as a result, they cannot afford to err on so many fronts.
Interestingly, Uttar Pradesh serves as the largest market, in terms of number of followers, for four different IPL teams, underlining the vastness of its market.
Some of the states have not been represented in the table as full data for them is not available.
Again, here also, do not by the absolute percentage figures. This just gives a rough idea of relative standings. CSK does well broadly across all the states, besides having a close to 50% share in Tamil Nadu. All the teams are the most followed ones in their respective base markets, apart from Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, which narrowly lose out to CSK in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, respectively. Although the data for Delhi is not available, DD has only average market share in neighbouring Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Similarly, in spite of choosing Gujarat as a second home state, RR languishes there.
India ends up having around 86% of the total IPL fan followers. Bangladesh and Pakistan are the two other countries having relatively large IPL following. Outside the continent, only the countries of the Caribbean (counted as a whole) and the USA make it to the top seven. Other than these seven countries mentioned in this table, all others have number of IPL followers of less than a million.

Argentina's president visits Liomont Laboratories to supervise the packaging of AstraZeneca vaccine
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin WhatsApp Copy link
Argentina's president Alberto Fernández arrived in Mexico on Monday, as a guest of honor by his Mexican counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador. With a broad agenda, in the 60 hours of an official visit, the national leaders have discussed issues such as the production of the vaccine against COVID-19, the economic consequences brought by the pandemic and how to improve commercial ties, reported Infobae.
During a news conference on Tuesday, Fernández stated that the meeting has already started with the "pleasant experience of producing the vaccines that Latin Americans need," through an agreement between Mexico, Argentina and the Carlos Slim Foundation to distribute the AstraZeneca immunizer on the continent. On Monday, Fernández visited the Liomont Laboratories and supervised the packaging of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The Mexico-Argentina relationship in the pandemic context is gaining ground thanks to the coordination that came from the COVAX initiative, as the governments of UK, Argentina and Mexico, as well as the scientists of the university of Oxford, the AstraZeneca company, Liomont and the Carlos Slim Foundation, worked together for the development of the vaccine, its mass reproduction, packaging and distribution.

Nintendo NES Classic Edition Stock UPDATE: Retro Console Available Again But at Hefty Rates
Harsh SoniApr 11, 2017 09:36 AM EDT
Facebook Linkedin Twitter Google+ Print Email
Nintendo NES Classic Edition has been one of the hardest video game consoles to find in stores since its launch. Retro console lovers are trying each and everything to get their hands on the classic console. But it's now available on Amazon through a third party, for high premium rates.
The Nintendo NES Classic Edition that has a regular retail price of $60 since its launch is currently listed on Amazon for $171.95. However, it's also being sold by other retailers WorldWide Distributors and fulfilled by Amazon (AMZN, +1.36%).
The Nintendo NES Classic Edition is an upgraded version of the original Nintendo Entertainment System from the 1980s which comes with several of games from that era including "Super Mario Bros.," "Donkey Kong," and "The Legend of Zelda." The retro console plugs into today's televisions via an HDMI cable and comes with a controller, which is tethered to the device.
Since its release last year, the NES Classic Edition has been a hit with the gamers. During the holiday season, whenever new units were made available online or at bricks-and-mortar stores, buyers would buy them up in minutes. The same is happening this year also.
According to Fortune, for the scarcity of the NES Classic Edition, Nintendo has said that they are manufacturing the console as quickly as possible to fulfill demand. However, Company also agreed that so far, they have been unable to keep up the demand of the retro console.
The NES Classic Edition consoles' high demand and limited supply have created an opportunity for small third-party retailers that have some Classic Edition consoles in stock to increase the price. However, some major retailers have still kept the NES Classic Edition's price at $60, but only when they have new units.
So buyers are now left with only a few options. People who really want the NES Classic Edition can pay a huge premium and buy the console now. Others who are willing to wait can keep an eye on major retailers and hopefully get the hands on the retro console for $60.

Hands up who has a daughter who loves Disney's Ariel and wants a mermaid birthday party. Yes I know! Who doesn't? Long-time Bondville reader Donna created a dream mermaid party for her daughter Tora's 5th birthday, featuring beloved Ariel with a colourful red, green, blue and purple colour palette. Read on for lots of tips and tricks from Donna, who made nearly everything herself.
Theme: Mermaid. Tora chose her theme and requested I make her a mermaid outfit.
Cake: I am the kind of mum who just HAS to make my children's birthday cakes myself. For me, it's the start and finish of all birthday party celebrations. It means so much to me to be able to create what my girls wish for. I started a week before the party, creating all the little figures and the mermaid tail on the Ariel doll. It was so much fun and I was really happy with the end result. The cake itself was layered with green and chocolate brown layers inside. The true delight of all though was when Tora saw the cake all pieced together... she said, "Oh Mum, you are so amazing to make that for me." That's all I needed.
Party food: I created the mermaid fin vanilla cupcakes using a mould from a playdough kit. It was really a whale fin, but i think I got away with it. The vanilla cupcake recipe came from taste.com.au.
I made the mini blue jellyfish cups and the kids really loved the mini spoons I used.
The pearl in an oyster treats were made by sandwiching a Kool Mint and a pink fondant flower shape between two German-style biscuits.
For drinks, I filled empty soda bottles with ice cold water because of the hot weather. I had been saving the bottles for a while and kept the decorations on them to a simple shell (from my wedding box) and a piece of string.
I also made black pearls on a stick using grapes. I should have made more of those as they were eaten so quickly and the children were asking for more. We also created mini octopus by cutting slits in the ends of little red frankfurts and cooking them on the Barbie so the cut ends curled up like octopus legs. I also made simple sandwiches - cream cheese, ham and cheese, egg and lettuce.
Decorations: Treasure chest filled with treasure. I bought the chest raw from Spotlight and then went to work covering it with gorgeous paper. I was really happy with the final result. I filled it with stones and shells from my wedding treasure box, playful jewellery and chocolate coins. The girls each had a turn at choosing a necklace and a ring from the chest to dress up in whilst at the party. They absolutely loved this idea and so did I.
It took my husband Steve and I one hour the night before the party to twist and hang the streamers to create the back drop for the party table. I traced some fish from a colouring book and then cut them out using cardboard. I then glued on some mini patty cake wrappers to act as scales. I hung the fish onto the streamers for an added touch. I also made the birthday sign. The mermaid canvas centrepiece was created by my best friend who purchased the mermaid picture on bay and placed it on a canvas. Tora loved it so much that it is now wall art in her bedroom.
Birthday Girl Wears: Outfit made by me, no pattern BUT a lot of patience. I saw something similar on the internet once and thought "sure, I could do that if I tried". The top kept falling down over the course of the party but Tora loved it and never complained. Three of Tora's friends had their mermaid outfits made by a family member and it was amazing how similar they were to the one I created for Tora. They had the same sparkly fabric but each had their own colour....I should have made straps for Tora's mermaid top like the other girls had as it kept it from falling down. Tora was so excited that her friends had the same sparkly fabric as she did. It was such a fluke that they had a different colour each. Fabric sourced from Spotlight. The headband Tora wore was also made by me, she requested a starfish on it so I created one out of felt. I loved it. It also acted as the blindfold for Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Mermaid game.
Games/activities: Upon arrival the girls were sent to the craft table to put together their mermaid tail pieces and cover them with stickers, stamps, letters, numbers, glitter etc in preparation for Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Mermaid later in the day. The girls had so much fun - this was truly entertaining for all. Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Mermaid was a hit too.
We also played the Pearl and Spoon race (instead of the egg and spoon race). We used cool mints as the pearls.
Something special: Tora invited a lot of her new found school friends which was lovely for all us parents as we became a little more familiar with each other. Some of these school friends she also went to daycare with so it's nice they will still be in each other lives at school.
Thank you so much Donna for sharing Tora's birthday with us - what a special day that I know she will remember forever.
Great timing Steph. Poppy wants a mermaid party in a few weeks for her birthday. This was full of inspiration be great ideas.


WPF is a popular and solid technology to build desktop applications for Windows. This course teaches you how to build a full enterprise application that uses a SQL Server database.
At the core of developing a data-driven WPF application is a thorough knowledge of how to use the MVVM Pattern and Entity Framework. In this course, Building an Enterprise App with WPF, MVVM, and Entity Framework Code First, you will learn the skills you need to create high-quality enterprise applications with WPF. First, you'll learn about typical scenarios like communicating between different ViewModels, detecting model changes, and handling many-to-many relations. Next, you'll learn all about creating a tabbed user interface. Finally, you'll explore implementing optimistic concurrency and styling your application. When you're finished with this course, you will have a deep understanding of WPF, MVVM, and Entity Framework that will help you immensely as you move forward and create your own data-driven enterprise application.
Hi everyone. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber and welcome to my course Building an Enterprise App with WPF, MVVM and Entity Framework Code First. I am a Microsoft MVP for Windows Development and I have a passion for user interfaces. To create a solid enterprise application with WPF you have to know about different technologies and patents and how they are used together, like for example entity framework, MVVM and dependency injection. This course covers the full stack that you need to know to build an enterprise application with WPF that uses MVVM and that connects to a secret server database with entity framework. Some of the major topics that we will cover include applying the MVVM pattern, setting up a database with entity framework code first, detecting model changes with entity framework's DB context, validating user input with data annotations and implementing optimistic concurrency to handle multi-user conflicts. By the end of this course you will know how to build a data driven WPF enterprise application with a tech-user interface and a modern and dark design. Before beginning the course you should be familiar with the C# language. If you know already about XAML would be great, but it is not necessary. We will start in Visual Studio with find new project so even without XAML knowledge you should be able to follow this course. I hope you will join me on this journey to learn about building a real world WPF application with the course Building an Enterprise App with WPF, MVVM, and Entity Framework Code First at Pluralsight.
Welcome to the course, Building an Enterprise App with WPF, MVVM, and Entity Framework Code First. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber and in this first module, I want to show you the scenario that is used throughout this course. That means, you'll learn about the demo application that you built. But before we look at this demo application, let me explain you how this course is structured. You start building the demo application in this course with File, New Project, in Visual Studio. So you really start from scratch. Even if you don't know anything about WPF or Entity Framework, you should be able to follow this course. The only prerequisite of this course is that you have a solid knowledge of the C# language. If you have also basic knowledge of WPF, that's even better. After you have created your new project, you will build a basic application to organize friends. For the rest of the course, you will refactor and extend the FriendOrganizer application so that it has typical features of an enterprise app. But what are these typical features? Typical features of a business application are create, read, update, and delete entities, validating user input, handling different data relations like for example the many to many relationship and much more. Instead of telling you all the features of a business application, let me show you the FriendOrganizer application that you built, and then you will find out if there's something in for you or not.
Welcome to the module, Defining the Architecture. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber, and in this module, we will define the architecture of the FriendOrganizer application. Let's take a quick look at the module outline. In this module, you'll learn about N-tier and client-server architectures. Then we will focus on the FriendOrganizer application. We will plan the client layers and we will set up the solution. Okay, that's it. Let's start with the N-tier and client-server architectures.
Welcome to the module Building the Basic UI Layer. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber, and in this module, I want to build the first interface for the Friend Organizer application together with you. But what's your opinion? Should we start without requirements? It might be a bit tough. So let's assume the required user interface looks like this. On the left side, we have a list of friends. The first name of each friend is displayed in this list. When the user selects a friend, the details are displayed on the right. That's it. Before we start, let's have a quick look at the module outline. We start this module by planning the user interface layer. Then we will ensure that you know the basics of the MVVM pattern. With this knowledge, we will create the different parts of the user interface of the Friend Organizer application. We will create a data service to load the data. We will create a ViewModel that is using the data service and we will create a view that binds to the properties of the ViewModel. After we are done with this, we will even use dependency injection to inject the data service into the ViewModel and to inject the ViewModel into the view. Now let's start and let's plan the UI layer.
Welcome to the module Setting Up Entity Framework. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In this module, you will learn how to set up Entity Framework Code First to create and seed the SQL Server database. Then we will extend the Friend Organizer application to load data from SQL Server by using Entity Framework. Before we start, let me show you the module outline. You will start this module by planning the data access layer of the Friend Organizer application. Then we will create and seed the database for the Friend Organizer application with Entity Framework Code First. Finally, we will use Entity Framework in the FriendDataService to load the data for the Friend Organizer application from SQL Server. Let's start with the planning of the data access layer.
Welcome to the module, Decoupling the UI Parts. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. And in this module, we will split up the Friend Organizer application into separate components. When you look at the current UI structure, you can see that we have a kind of navigation on the left side, and a kind of navigation on the right side. But everything is coded directly into the main window, and into a single main view model. When the application grows, it will be hard to maintain it if we don't split it up into separate components. And that's exactly what we do in this module. We will create a user control for the navigation and a user control for the details. We will also take care that the navigation does not load the full friend objects. Instead, it should just load the ID and the name of a friend. When a friend is selected in the navigation, the full friend object should be loaded by the detail control. So far to the idea. Now let's look at the module outline. We start this module by planning the new structure of our Friend Organizer application. Then we will create a LookupDataService that returns LookupItems. The LookupItem will be a simple class that has an ID property and the DisplayMember property. We will use this LookupDataService to load only the IDs and names for the friends from the database. When we have this LookupDataService, we will create a NavigationView, which is a user control and a corresponding NavigationViewModel. The NavigationViewModel will use the LookupDataService to load the lightweight friends objects in form of LookupItems. After we have the navigation, we will create a FriendDetailView to display the details, and also a corresponding FriendDetailViewModel. Now you will learn how these different parts are related to each other when we plan the new structure of the Friend Organizer application.
Welcome to the module Communicating Between ViewModels. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In this module, I want to show you how you can set up an event aggregator so that the ViewModels can talk to each other. Let's look at the module outline. We start this module by planning the ViewModel communication of the friend organizer application. When we know how the ViewModels should talk to each other, we will introduce Prism's Event Aggregator and we will set up an event. Then we will publish and subscribe to that event from our ViewModels. Now let's start and let's plan the ViewModel communication.
Welcome to the module Saving Data. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber, and in this module we will extend the FriendOrganizer application, so that we can save the friend spec to the database. Let me show you the module outline. We start this module by looking at the ICommand interface and the MVVM pattern. Then we will add a SaveCommand property to the FriendDetailViewModel. This SaveCommand property is found by a button in the user interface. So when the button is clicked, the logic of the SaveCommand is executed. In this save logic, we'll save the friend in the FriendDataService by using entity framework. The final thing that we do in this module, we will also update the navigation after we have saved the friend, so that we have the current name of the friend in the navigation. Now let's start with the ICommand interface and MVVM.
Welcome to the module Validating User Input. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In the friend organizer application, we can already save friends back to the database, but so far we don't validate what the user has entered, and this is what we do in this module. As usual, let's take a quick look at the module outline. You'll learn in this module about validation in WPF. Then you will learn how to validate the user input by implementing the INotifyDataErrorInfo interface. You will also learn how to display errors by using an error template. After you have built this basic validation logic, you will refactor it into a base class that you can reuse. Then you will extend it and you will build the logic to validate the data annotations that we have already on the model classes of our friend organizer application. With all this validation in place, we can enable and disable the save button in the friend organizer application. Only if there is no validation error the save button is enabled. Now before we start with validation in WPF, let's see what happens when we save a friend without a first name. The FirstName property has the required data annotation, so it's a (mumbles) column in the database.
Welcome to the module Detecting Model Changes. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In this module I will show you how you can use entity framework to detect if the user has changed a model or not. You can use this information, for example, to enable the save button only if the user has changed the model. Before we start let's take a quick look at the module outline. The first thing that you learn in this module is how entity framework tracks changes. With this knowledge we are able to plan the lifetime of the Entity Framework DbContext in the FriendOrganizer application. We will create and use a FriendRepository that wraps the DbContext and that has a HasChanges method. This HasChanges method will return true if the models in the DbContext have any changes. In the FriendDetailViewModel we will use this FriendRepository and we will enable and disable the save button if the model has changed or not. We will also block the navigation from a changed friend so that the user is aware that he will lose his changes if he navigates away without saving. Let's start now by looking at how Entity Framework tracks changes.
Welcome to the module Adding and Deleting Entities. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber, and in this module you will learn how you can extend the FriendOrganizer application so that the user can add and delete friends. Let's take a look at the module outline. You'll learn in this module how to implement the logic that the user can add a new friend in the FriendOrganizer application. That new friend will be saved to the database by using entity framework. You'll also learn how to implement the logic to delete an existing friend from the FriendOrganizer application. Beside adding and deleting friends, you'll also learn how you can hide and display the FriendDetailView. For example, after a friend has been deleted, the FriendDetailView shouldn't be visible anymore, and when the user selects another friend, the FriendDetailView should be visible again with the new friend. Now let's start by implementing the logic to add a new friend.
Welcome to the module Working with Lookups. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In this module, I will show you how you can display a list of items to the user so the he can select a single item from that list. Displaying such a list where a user can select a single item is called a lookup. To explain in a bit more detail what we do in this module, let me show you the module outline. In this module, we will create a ProgrammingLanguage-entity, and then we will add a FavoriteLanguageId-property to the Friend-entity. For these entities, we will create a DB migration, so the Friend table in the database will have a foreign key to the ProgrammingLanguage table. This means that the user can select a favorite language for a friend in the user interface. After we have created the ProgrammingLanguage-entity, and migrated the database, we will extend the LookupDataService. We will use the LookupDataService in the FriendDetailViewModel to launch ProgrammingLanguage-entities. When the FriendDetailViewModel has a list of programming languages, we can add a ComboBox to the FriendDetailView, so that the user can select a favorite programming language for a friend. Now let's start and let's create the ProgrammingLanguage-entity.
Welcome to the module working with object graphs. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber, and in this module, we will extend the friendOrganize applications so that a friend can have phone numbers. Let's take a look at the module outline. We start this module by creating the FriendPhoneNumber entity. We will also add a PhoneNumbers property to the friend entity so that a friend can have phone numbers. After we have created the FriendPhoneNumber entity, we will also migrate and seed the database with entity framework code first. Now when you look at this relationship, you might notice that it's a one to many relationship. A friend can have many phone numbers. These relationships, one to many, and also many to many, are often referred to as object graphs. Now after we have created the entity, we will add a DataGrid to the FriendDetailView, and we will also extend the FriendDetailViewModel so that it can provide the FriendPhoneNumbers to the DataGrid. When we are done with this step, we can display existing phone numbers in the user interface. The next step is to implement the logic so that the user can add and remove phone numbers in the UI by using commands from the FriendDetailViewModel. Now let's start with a friend phone number entity.
Welcome to the module, Refactoring to Support Other Detail Views. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. So far, we have built the FriendOrganizer application and it has a friend detail view to display the details for a friend. In the next module, we want to introduce a meeting detail view where we can display the details for a meeting. But to be able to introduce this new meeting detail view beside of the friend detail view, we need to refactor our application a bit. This is what we do in this module. Let me show you the module outline. First, we will create a DetailViewModel property in the MainViewModel of the FriendOrganizer application. So in fact, this is just renaming the FriendDetailViewModel property that is already in the MainViewModel. But we also changed the type of this property to IDetailViewModel. We will introduce this IDetailViewModel interface and it will have for example the HasChanges property that we have already on the FriendDetailViewModel. Beside these adjustments, we will adjust the friend-specific event classes to more generic events for different detail views. Beside renaming the event classes, we also need to introduce properties in the event arguments so that we know for which DetailViewModel an event is for. It can be for example for a friend, for a meeting, or for any other detail view that you implement in your application. After we are done with the events, we will also create a GenericRepository class that we can use as a base class for our repositories. Currently, the FriendOrganizer application has just a FriendRepository class, so we will look what we can refactor from that class into a base class. The final thing that we do in this module is to create a DetailViewModelBase class that we can use as a base class for our DetailViewModels. Now let's start with the DetailViewModel property in the MainViewModel.
Welcome to the module Introducing Another Detail View. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. The FriendOrganizer application contains the FriendDetailView to display the details of a friend. In this module we will introduce the MeetingDetailView so that we can display the details for a meeting, a new entity that we create in this module. Since we have refactored the code in the FriendOrganizer application in the previous module to support other detail views, introducing the MeetingDetailView should be straightforward. Let's take a look at the module outline so that you know what we have to do. The first thing that we need to do is to create a Meeting entity and a MeetingRepository. Creating the Meeting entity means that we also need to do a DB migration with Entity Framework Core first. We will define the Meeting entity in such a way that a meeting can have many friends, and that a friend can have many meetings, so we have a many-to-many relationship. After we have setup the database and the MeetingRepository, we will create a MeetingDetailViewModel and the corresponding MeetingDetailView. Now we are able to display meetings, but somehow the user needs to choose them, so we will also show the meetings in the navigation below the friends. This allows the user to navigate either to a friend or to a meeting in the FriendOrganizer application. In the final step we will ensure that we have implemented the typical use cases, like for example adding new meetings in the FriendOrganizer application. Now let's start with the Meeting entity and the MeetingRepository.
Welcome to the module Picking M:N-related Details. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. As you know from the previous module, the friend organizer application has a many-to-many relationship between meetings and friends. In this module, you learn how to build a picklist so that the user can select the friends that should belong to a meeting. Let me show you the module outline. You will learn in this module how to build the picklist in the MeetingDetailView, and then you will extend the MeetingDetailViewModel. You will add the required properties to the MeetingDetailViewModel, and you will load the friends for the picklist in the MeetingDetailViewModel, and you will also implement the logic to add and remove friends from a meeting. After you are done with this, the MeetingDetailView and the MeetingDetailViewModel are complete. But if a friend belongs to a meeting, the user should not be able to delete that friend by pressing the delete button on the friend detail view. So you will also learn how to block the deletion of friends who are part of a meeting. Now let's start with a picklist in the MeetingDetailView.
Welcome to the module, Switching to a Tabbed UI, my name is Thomas Claudius Huber, and in this module, I will show how you can switch the Friend Organizer Application, to a tabbed user interface. Currently, the Friend Organizer Application can only display a single detail view, either the friend detail view, or the meeting detail view. In this module, you'll learn how to display multiple detail views at the same time, in different tabs. Let me show you the module outline. You'll learn in this module how to adjust the main view model of the Friend Organizer Application, so support multiple detail view models. Then you will add a tab control to the main window, that is using the detail views models property of the main view model. You will also learn how to display a title for friends and meetings in the tab header. When we are able to display the detail view model in tabs, the user also needs the functionality to close these tabs again. So you will learn how to implement the logic to close the tab in the Friend Organizer Application. You will also learn how to refresh updated friends in the meeting detail view, this, the user can open up now, friends and meetings at that same time, we need to ensure that everything is synchronized correctly, so when the user saves a friend, and the meeting is open that contains that friend, the friend should also be updated on that meeting detail view. You'll learn how to implement this by using events with the event aggregator. Now let's start with the main view model.
Welcome to the module, Creating a Detail View for Collections. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In the FriendOrganize application, we have created the friend detail view to edit a single friend. We have also the meeting detail view to edit a single meeting. Now we will introduce a new detail view for programming languages. And this detail view is a bit different. It is not used to edit a single programming language. Instead it is used to edit a collection of programming languages. Let me show you the module outline. In this module, you'll learn how to create the ProgrammingLanguageDetailView. As mentioned, this is a single view that is used to edit all the programming languages in the FriendOrganizer application. Throughout this module you'll learn how to implement the repository, the ViewModel, and also the view with the DataGrid. So you see, we have some work to do. Let's start to integrate the ProgrammingLanguageDetailView into the FriendOrganizer application.
Welcome to the module Styling the Application. My name is Thomas Claudius Huber. In this module, you will learn how you can style the FriendOrganizer application that we have built in this course. The FriendOrganizer application has the default look that comes with WPF. You will learn how to adjust the application so that it gets a dark and modern user interface. Before we start, let's take a look at the module outline. At the beginning of this module, I will show you what the final application should look like, so that you know what we will build. After you have a clear picture of what we want to do, I will show you the ways how you can style your WPF application. Then you will style the FriendOrganizer application with Mahapps. Metro library. Mahapps. Metro is an open source library that is used to style the standard controls of a WPF application. You will learn how to add this open source library to the FriendOrganizer application. You will also learn how to use its base styles and its MetroWindow. And I will show you how you can style the navigation and the tab headers of the FriendOrganizer application. But this is not everything. I will also show you how you can adjust the font sizes and the colors in the FriendOrganizer app, and you will learn how to use the Mahapps MessageDialog instead of the standard message box that looks a bit old school. At the end of this module, you will have created a dark and modern FriendOrganizer application. Now let's start, and let me show you what the final application should look like.

So a bit about me. I'm 27 and live in Buckinghamshire, England. I studied a level 3 diploma in fashion retail at the Fashion Retail Academy in London for a year after I finished my A levels and after finishing was eager to pursue a career in Fashion PR. During looking for a job I started my blog for a bit of fun and a place to show off my clothes that hardly ever see the light of day, due to being a self confessed shopaholic with a wardrobe is bursting full of clothes. My blog is just the perfect place to show off my favourite items of clothing that make up my wardrobe.
For anyone wondering why I decided to name my blog 'electromarfestival.com' the idea for the name came from my name "Mar" and I love electro music festivals.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and that you can use my blog for style tips and inspiration for your own outfits.
