Q: WPF - MenuItem highlighting has unwanted secondary highlight I have a ContextMenu on a Button and when shown it display a list of menu items, which is fine. If I move the mouse over an item in the menu, it highlights, but I also get a secondary highlight when I hover over and around the text, see the pictures below.

How do I remove this? I've tried all types of styles, triggers and various other templates to remove the highlighting, but can't seem to make any of the work or display correctly.
There is nothing special about my context menu button either, see wpf below.
<Button.ContextMenu>
    <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedTreeItem.MetaTargets}">
        <ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate >
                <MenuItem Header="{Binding Name}"
                          Command="{Binding Path=SelectedTreeItem.AddTargetCommandRelay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"
                          CommandParameter="{Binding}"
                 />
            </DataTemplate>
        </ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
    </ContextMenu>
</Button.ContextMenu>

Ideally I want it to look like this when highlighted, regardless of where the mouse is within the confines of the highlighted item, see pic below.

A: Just remove Property="IsHighlighted" trigger from default MenuItem template:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
    <Grid SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
        <Rectangle x:Name="Bg" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" RadiusY="2" RadiusX="2" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="1"/>
        <Rectangle x:Name="InnerBorder" Margin="1" RadiusY="2" RadiusX="2"/>
        <Grid>
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition MinWidth="24" SharedSizeGroup="MenuItemIconColumnGroup" Width="Auto"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="4"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="37"/>
                <ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="MenuItemIGTColumnGroup" Width="Auto"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="17"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ContentPresenter x:Name="Icon" Content="{TemplateBinding Icon}" ContentSource="Icon" Margin="1" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
            <Border x:Name="GlyphPanel" BorderBrush="#FFCDD3E6" BorderThickness="1" Background="#FFE6EFF4" CornerRadius="3" Height="22" Margin="1" Visibility="Hidden" Width="22">

            </Border>
            <ContentPresenter ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" Grid.Column="2" ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding HeaderStringFormat}" ContentSource="Header" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
            <TextBlock Grid.Column="4" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Text="{TemplateBinding InputGestureText}"/>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>
    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="Icon" Value="{x:Null}">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="Icon" Value="Collapsed"/>
        </Trigger>
        <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="GlyphPanel" Value="Visible"/>
            <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="Icon" Value="Collapsed"/>
        </Trigger>
        <Trigger Property="IsHighlighted" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Fill" TargetName="Bg">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
                        <GradientStop Color="#34C5EBFF" Offset="0"/>
                        <GradientStop Color="#3481D8FF" Offset="1"/>
                    </LinearGradientBrush>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
            <Setter Property="Stroke" TargetName="Bg" Value="#8071CBF1"/>
            <Setter Property="Stroke" TargetName="InnerBorder" Value="#40FFFFFF"/>
        </Trigger>
        <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF9A9A9A"/>
            <Setter Property="Background" TargetName="GlyphPanel" Value="#FFEEE9E9"/>
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="GlyphPanel" Value="#FFDBD6D6"/>
            <Setter Property="Fill" TargetName="Glyph" Value="#FF848589"/>
        </Trigger>
    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

A: This is a very late answer but maybe it could help someone.
The secondary highlight is there because you actually have an extra MenuItem inside the original one.
It is a bit counter-intuitive but when you bind ItemsSource of a menu in WPF, it automatically creates MenuItems without giving it a DataTemplate. The DataTemplate you're providing is actually going inside a ContentPresenter in the originally created MenuItem.
So you should be using ItemContainerStyle to style the MenuItem, rather than giving it a DataTemplate.
I don't have the opportunity to try the following code now, but it should fix the issue:
<Button.ContextMenu>
    <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedTreeItem.MetaTargets}">
        <ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="MenuItem">
                <Style.Setters>
                    <Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Name}"/>
                    <Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding Path=SelectedTreeItem.AddTargetCommandRelay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"/>
                    <Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding}"/>
                </Style.Setters>
            </Style>
        </ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
    </ContextMenu>
</Button.ContextMenu>

A: I use the following style for my ContextMenu instances. Obviously you can change the colors to suit.
<Style x:Key="ContextMenuStyle"  TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
                <Border BorderThickness="1"
                        BorderBrush="LightBlue">
                    <StackPanel IsItemsHost="True"
                                Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
                </Border>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

EDIT:
If that doesn't work you could go down the route of restyling your MenuItem too. Here is an example:
    <ControlTemplate x:Key="{x:Static MenuItem.TopLevelHeaderTemplateKey}"
                     TargetType="MenuItem">
        <Border Name="Border" >
            <Grid>
                <ContentPresenter  Margin="6,3,6,3"
                                   ContentSource="Header"
                                   RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
                <Popup Name="Popup"
                       Placement="Bottom"
                       IsOpen="{TemplateBinding IsSubmenuOpen}"
                       AllowsTransparency="True"
                       Focusable="False"
                       PopupAnimation="Fade">
                    <Border Name="SubmenuBorder"
                            SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
                            Background="#FF2D2D30"
                            BorderBrush="#FF2D2D30"
                            BorderThickness="1" >
                        <StackPanel IsItemsHost="True"
                                    KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Cycle" />
                    </Border>
                </Popup>
            </Grid>
        </Border>
        <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsSuspendingPopupAnimation" Value="true">

    </Style>

A: I had the same problem and solved it with a custom MenuItem template containing just a Label:
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding ReportLayouts}" x:Name="CtxReportsMenu">
   <ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
          <MenuItem Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=UserControl}, Path=DataContext.ReportCmd}"
                    CommandParameter="{Binding }">
             <MenuItem.Template>
                <ControlTemplate>
                   <Label Content="{Binding Report_Description}"/>
                </ControlTemplate>
             </MenuItem.Template>
           </MenuItem>
       </DataTemplate>
   </ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>

Shamir Jiwa, CEO and Founder of The Maximeyes Group, one of the UK's leading and most innovative energy companies, applauds the decision of Scottish Power to embrace battery systems as way of storing power, maintaining the resilience and stability of the grid.
Scottish Power, which operates 215 turbines at the Whitelee wind farm on Eaglesham Moor, near Glasgow, is planning to build a huge "super battery" facility to store power generated by the wind farm. One of the most forward thinking and sustainable projects in the UK, the Scottish government approved plans to build the battery storage site, which will be the biggest wind farm battery site in the UK, covering an area the size of a football pitch.
The new facility would support the resilience and stability of the electricity grid, even when the wind is not blowing. It will be able to achieve full charge in less than half an hour. The battery will be capable of being fully discharged or used in bursts as and when required, keeping electricity networks stable by balancing supply and demand.
Shamir Jiwa said: "We wholeheartedly support the decision made by Scottish Power to embrace and develop battery storage as an aid to managing and maximising power at the Whitelee wind farm. This is why The Maximeyes Group has invested in Puredrive Energy Ltd, one of the UKs leading battery storage companies. The ethos of the business and the Puredrive 'business model' mirrors the plans of Scottish Power to revolutionise how power is distributed."
"With the Grid struggling to meet increased demands from new technology, such as electric and autonomous vehicles, battery storage systems herald the future and can provide the much-needed additional power supply to meet these rising demands. If today, we all drove an electric vehicle, the grid would 'black out' and fall over, with insufficient power to meet the increased demand" explains Shamir "Storing power, for when we need it most, is the way forward. I hope other energy companies quickly follow."
"With battery storage technology making significant advances in recent years, robust systems are now available in the commercial sectors as well in the residential market that can help consumers to break dependency on the Grid. This being the ultimate 'holy grail' and not within the bounds of possibility for the average consumer, until now", concludes Shamir.
All UK power companies should generate energy from wind power instead of oil and gas, with renewable energy generation needing to quadruple, and with onshore wind being the cheapest form of green energy.
By integrating energy storage technologies with onshore wind, we are 'blowing away' one of the myths about renewable generation not being available when you need it. Natural resources like wind and solar are variable in their very nature, and by using a battery we can ensure we optimise our ability to use the resource most effectively.

Red Cross Criticizes Indefinite Detention In Guantánamo Bay
By NEIL A. LEWIS OCT. 10, 2003
A senior official of the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Thursday that the holding of more than 600 detainees here was unacceptable because they were being held for open-ended terms without proper legal process.
Christophe Girod, the senior Red Cross official in Washington, said on Thursday in an interview at the United States Naval Base here, ''One cannot keep these detainees in this pattern, this situation, indefinitely.''
Mr. Girod spoke as he and a team of officials from the international organization were completing their latest inspection tour of the detention camp. Although he did not criticize any physical conditions at the camp, which houses 660 detainees, most of them captured in the Afghan conflict, he said that it was intolerable that the complex was used as ''an investigation center, not a detention center.''
He said the International Red Cross was making the unusual statements because of a lack of action.
United States officials have said they have begun moving to sort the detainees, choosing which to release and which to take before military tribunals on criminal charges.
Some officials, notably Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, have said the detainees may be held until the effort against terrorism ends.
Mr. Girod said, ''The open-endedness of the situation and its impact on the mental health of the population has become a major problem.''
In 18 months, 21 detainees have made 32 suicide attempts, and human rights groups have said the high incidence of such events, as well as the number of detainees being treated for clinical depression, was a direct result of the uncertainties of their situations.
Mr. Girod said that in meetings with members of his inspection teams, detainees regularly asked about what was going to happen to them.
''It's always the No. 1 question,'' he said. ''They don't know about the future.''
Camp officials have said most of the detainees' mental health problems existed before they arrived.
Mr. Girod's comments departed from the usual reluctance of the International Red Cross to issue public criticism. The International Committee of the Red Cross, based in Geneva, is the sole group outside the government allowed to inspect the main detention center and meet the detainees.
Under longstanding procedures, the committee agrees that in exchange for access it will not generally publicize its findings but rather take complaints or criticisms to the government in charge in the hope that they can be addressed. Only when the Red Cross decides that its views are not being heeded does it publicize its concerns.
Mr. Girod said the views he was expressing had recently been placed on the Red Cross Web site, www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/5QRC5V?OpenDocument.
He said the International Red Cross had been urging the Bush administration for months to make significant changes in operations here if it intended to keep using the site as an investigation center. The administration, Mr. Girod added, should consider establishing a policy under which most, if not all, of the detainees have some idea of when they can learn whether they will be charged or released.
The military has released 68 detainees to their home countries. Most of those sent to Afghanistan were freed. Those sent to Saudi Arabia were imprisoned there.
Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller of the Army, commander of the task force that runs the detention center and oversees the questioning of the detainees, said in an interview, ''We don't want the enemy combatants here to stay one day longer than is necessary.''
General Miller said the inmates had been kept in custody because they had valuable information to impart.
''There is intelligence of enormous value to the nation that is received every day'' from the questioning, he said. The efficiency of the investigation teams has greatly improved, the general said, adding:
''We've gotten better at what we do. But as we go about developing intelligence, it takes some amount of time.''
General Miller said officials were trying to determine whether the arrests on suspicion of espionage of three men who worked here and had contact with detainees indicated a wider effort to infiltrate the camp. Defense Department officials have said they plan to review tapes of some of the questioning to see whether they were mistranslated as part of a sabotage effort by translators. Two translators, one an enlisted member in the Air Force and the other a contract employee, have been arrested on suspicion of espionage.
Officials said that they were found with classified information that they were trying to take off the base and that they were suspected of an effort to carry messages from detainees to people abroad.
More strikingly, the Islamic chaplain at the base, Capt. James J. Yee of the Army, also known as Youssef Yee, was arrested on Sept. 10 after customs officers found a map of the base in his belongings as he was starting on home leave. The officials also said Captain Yee might have had messages from detainees, as well as notes about which detainees had been questioned by which investigators and on what subjects.
General Miller said investigators were trying to assess ''the seriousness and breadth'' of the problem. A team of about 24 investigators from the Army Southern Command in Miami began work on Wednesday to determine whether there was a wide conspiracy to infiltrate the base.
It was unclear whether the new investigation would further slow releasing detainees or taking them to military tribunals. In July, the administration designated six detainees who it said President Bush had deemed eligible for military tribunals. The group includes two Britons and one Australian. Their governments have objected to their being tried in a proceeding, without the usual safeguards, that could theoretically impose the death penalty.
Military tribunals, solely for noncitizens, are much more tightly controlled than civilian courts.
American officials offered assurances that the crimes with which the suspects would be charged would not carry the death penalty. But disapproval, especially in Britain, has produced a drawn-out negotiation that has delayed any trial. American officials said they were sensitive to the problem and did not want to create new political difficulties for Prime Minister Tony Blair, an ally in the Iraq war.

The Cybook Ocean will be the thinnest reader in the world at a mere 7mm! That's really thin. So thin, it's hard to imagine without seeing it! So how can we demonstrate it visually? Photo of a reader next to a pencil, next to a coin… been there, done that. So we're looking for some new ideas.
How would you show just how thin the Cybook Ocean is? The most creative idea could win a Cybook Odyssey 2013!
To get you started, here's a photo of our very first Cybook, from over 12 years ago, next to the Cybook Ocean. We've come a long way, baby!
Previous PostCybook Ocean at the Paris Book FairNext PostCybook Odyssey Update: we want YOU to be a beta-tester!
I would show it on top of an automatic pencil with 7mm diameter lead, as if the lead were holding the reader up – that would also send the message it is light, not just thin!
I would suggest comparing it to what it is meant to replace, like a magazine, yeah. Put is side by side with a sports magazine, for example. There are many magazines there at the news agent that are thicker than 7mm.
There is a shelf with some books, close to each other (with a 7mm-9mm space between two, more or less). The Cybook Ocean should be put between the books. Now, to make the task a little harder, the background of the shelf must be black and you could also play with the light, so that the Cybook would almost be invisible.
The idea is that the Cybook is so thin it fits between our books, when we thought we had no more space less.
I think the comparison must be with a japanese sword, the katana. A katana has over 7 mm of thickness, the same as Cybook Ocean.
The beauty and the might of Cybook Ocean is the same as a japanes sword.
1) show the device side by side with leatherbound print editions of the public domain titles included on the device.
2) utilize your history: a diagram like this http://tinyurl.com/mr922s8 would demonstrate your designing/engineering prowess! and would constitute an interesting blog post.
3) another comparison of sizes could be made with a fully stocked library shelf and its virtual counterpart on the device.
– and a feature request: an easier way to customize the pictures displayed when the device is shut off – including an option to use the front cover of the latest opened book as such (everyone might not like to have what theyre are reading to be apparent by default).
When?? been waiting for it for months, now… Shall I keep waiting or buy something else?
we are waiting for the display of the Cybook Ocean to be delivered. As soon as we receive solid information concerning its availability, we will confirm the release date. We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding. We hope to announce good news soon.

Press: Jason Momoa Is Bummed About Hollywood's Attitude Toward Action Movies
August 03, 2021 Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom • Baywatch • Dune • Game of Thrones • Interview • Sweet Girl 0 comments Share:
This interviewer really ticked him off. I've never seen Jason get mad in a review.
NEW YORK TIMES: A decade ago, the action star Jason Momoa seemed to emerge fully formed into the public consciousness as the magnetically imposing chieftain Khal Drogo on "Game of Thrones." The truth, of course, is that his breakthrough came only after a long, hard slog through the Hollywood hinterlands. Lately, Momoa, who is 42, has been taking on the perhaps even harder challenge of expanding that initial impression. To that end, Momoa, who played the lead in "Aquaman," tested his acting chops alongside the likes of Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem and Timothée Chalamet in the director Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel "Dune," which is due out in October. Before then, in late August, Momoa will star in the Netflix thriller "Sweet Girl," which nods to big-pharma corruption amid its hard-boiled milieu, as well as the second season of his Apple series, "See," a family drama dressed in bloodstained, post-apocalyptic clothing. "I'm finally getting to play characters with depth and color," Momoa says, speaking over Zoom from London, where he was shooting an "Aquaman" sequel. "It's been a long road, bro."
I'm curious to hear your perspective on superhero movies. People love them, obviously, but you also get things like Martin Scorsese saying they're closer to amusement-park rides than cinema. These are films made with a focus on sales, but how much room do you feel you have to also make them artistically credible?
It's like how people say that music is poppy and this music cool. But you know how hard it is just to get your music out there for people to hear? It's all subjective. I try not to pick on anything. So, yeah, superhero movies are bubble gum, but they're like Greek mythology: They have good and evil and heartbreaking moments. And, gosh, you're taking away other art forms if you stop making them. You're taking away visual effects, you're taking away what you can do with makeup. I'm not someone who gets hired to play in a lot of cinema, but by being able to do a superhero movie, I can make a movie about something I really care about. I have a vision for the whole totality of "Aquaman." There are environmental issues that I get to put into it. So while you're going, "Oh yeah, it's just this popcorn movie," I'm like, "Well, I get to open people's eyes to things that are important to me."
In my reading of your career, it seems as if it wasn't until you played Khal Drogo and had a clear persona that the starring roles started coming. Does that jibe with your experience?

The most modern movie star on the planet shares his feelings on 'Dune,' his famous family, and social justice.
[Photoshoots & Portraits] > 2020 Shoots > Set 004
MEN'S HEALTH – ONE MORNING IN LATE JULY, in the Year of Whatever Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong And/Or Might Actually Kill You otherwise known as 2020, Los Angeles drivers westbound on the 118 were treated to a surreal sight even by California standards. There, in the slow lane of the freeway, a giant man was sputtering along in a 1929 Ford Model A hot rod with no roof and no windshield. His long, sandy-blond hair whipped across his face in the wind, and the red blanket he had placed over the busted car seat to cushion it was now flying like a cape behind his neck. Those who pulled up close to get a better look at a potential real-life Superman weren't too far off the mark. It was Jason Momoa—Aquaman himself—behind the wheel, drumming on his knees to the Tom Waits song playing in his head while his car slowly broke down beneath him. Then, just as he neared his exit in the San Fernando Valley, radiator fluid began spraying all over his face. He was due at a photo shoot for this magazine in ten minutes.
"My wife makes fun of me all the time because everything I have breaks down," he tells me when he arrives at the shoot only a few minutes behind schedule, freshly delivered to the set with a huge smile after hitching a ride with a buddy. He needs all of two minutes to peel off his stained shirt for a clean one and splash some water on his beard before he's ready for the first shot, and one quickly surmises that Momoa is the type of guy to whom this kind of shit happens all the time. "I like old, beautiful things," he says, shrugging off the roadside havoc. "It feels like you're in a time capsule when you're riding an old bike."
But for all the old-man affection for classic racers and vintage Harleys, and for all the brick-house physicality that would've made him an outstanding '80s action hero, Momoa has spent the past few years slowly revealing himself to be the most singular and surprising—the most modern, really—male movie star we've got. "I don't do incognito," he explains. "Here's this flamboyant Cadillac I've had since I was 22, because I love Elvis. Here's my top-hat collection, because I love top hats. Here's my ridiculous pink fur coat. I have a lot of weird things." Perhaps it's because he used to go antiquing "all the time" with his mom that he appreciates well-made items and durable designs. "I can look at a rusty spoon," he tells me, "and it defines who I am."
Press: Jason Momoa Will Save Us All
November 11, 2020 Article • Interview • Photoshoots • Video 0 comments Share:
With his artistic spirit, brawny physicality, and a pink scrunchie or two, the actor is the leading man we need.
INSTYLE – On the morning of my interview with Jason Momoa in Los Angeles, I'm jolted awake in the predawn hours by one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the city in years. Later in the day a nasty brush fire breaks out near the house in Laurel Canyon where Momoa and I are set to meet, so on my way there I'm rerouted because a trio of fire trucks is blocking the main road.
If the apocalypse is slated for this very day, as it very well may be, then it's hard to think of anyone handier to have around than Jason Momoa. Onscreen, the hulking 6-foot-4 actor has been all kinds of hard-core warriors and superheroes, and in the upcoming sci-fi epic Dune, he helps secure a hostile planet for his master, Timothée Chalamet. Surely I can count on him to protect me from any natural disasters that might occur in the Hollywood Hills.
Yet it's not entirely surprising when Momoa greets me in a pair of flowy pink-and-red-striped pants that he had custom-made from a set of French linens. Or when he tells me he recently started seeing a therapist and is exploring issues of male vulnerability. Momoa, you see, is many dudes in one. Part soulful surfer, part brawny he-man, part committed activist, and part class clown, he spent the quarantine painting and writing and teaching his 13-year-old daughter how to throw a tomahawk. Certainly he's the only guy I've met who can build his own motorcycle and ride it to a film première dressed in head-to-toe pink. When I ask him why he's so fond of pink scrunchies (today he's wearing two — one in his hair and one on his wrist), he smiles and shrugs.
"Pink is just a beautiful color," he says. "And I'm pretty secure in my masculinity. I don't really give a shit what anyone thinks."

At Work / In the Office : Blowing Out The Match
Blowing Out The Match
On his first day working at the gas station, John watched a senior
co-worker measure the level of gasoline in the underground tanks by
lowering a giant measuring stick down into them.
"What would happen if I threw a lit match into the hole?" John said as a
joke.
"It would go out," the co-worker replied in a very factual manner.
"Really?" John asked, surprised to hear that. "Is there a lack of oxygen
down there or some safety device that would extinguish it before the
fumes ignited?"
"No, the force from the explosion would blow out the match."


Children love animals especially the creepy crawly ones like snakes. What could be more interesting than snakes? Not only will your beginning students love playing this piece they will love learning all about this fascinating creature the Eastern Indigo Snake!
Students who love snakes will enjoy playing this simple duet and learning about the Eastern Indigo Snake. This piece can be played as written as a solo or Piano 1 can be played one octave higher than written for a duet. This is a great recital or festival piece.
Check out all of our other beginning level pieces here.

Since the beginning of time, interiors were lit with decorative and mood-setting lights after the sun was set in the evening. Through the years, celebrations and holidays have been unique occasions when rooms are brilliantly lit and special lighting is used. The New Year holiday in several cultures means a time of colored lights and even fireworks. Christmas in the Christian and secular Western world is a time for decorative lighting such as traditional candles and strings of lights on trees and garlands. In the current society, decorative lighting is in use all around the year to bring interest and set the ambience of interior rooms. Because of the popularity of creative lighting, more designers and manufacturers are putting numerous lighting options on the market. In fact, lighting as a decor accent has a significant influence on the success of the home furnishings industry.
Furniture stores often display creative lighting in their advertising and store windows while manufacturers, brands and online stores widely advertise their decorative lighting. People purchase or order various forms of ornamental lights for their homes and businesses. One example of these popular options and the company selling them is an LED curtain from ZappoBZ.com. While interior decorating and lighting sales drop during economic low years, people continue to purchase lights of various kinds to help set the mood in their home or business. Into the future, creative lighting trends may experience highs and lows, but creativity and innovation in illumination will continue as it has for centuries of time.


This research project is supported by the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology under the framework of the Program PEP Attikis, 1.2.
LOCUNET was a research project that aimed to investigate the novel forms of communication that emerge as a result of the convergence of geographical positioning services, mobile communications, and graphical user interfaces. The result of this convergence is the appearance of locative media. More specifically, the result of this research programme was a theoretical model of the use of locative media and the forms of social interaction that may take place during locative media use, within the contemporary urban context. This model is expected to inform the design and development of locative media. For the purposes of evaluating the proposed model, a location-based multi-user communication system was designed and developed and used for supporting an activity comprising numerous mobile users in a central location in the city of Athens.


Hooray, we do love Poppy Cat! And we are rather excited to say that over the coming months we will be regularly creating some special crafts to go with Poppy Cat and her friends hooray. The creators of Poppy Cat asked us to help "make everyday adventures more extraordinary" and as we LOVE using every day bits and pieces to craft with, we knew we could have lots of fun together. Click on the Poppy Cat icon for more Poppy Cat crafts (note: at the time of writing there is of course only one Poppy Cat craft, but please come back for more in the coming weeks). To start us off, we are using one of our favourite craft materials, the humble "loo roll"… perfect to make some Poppy Cat Puppets to play with!
Let's make Poppy Cat and her friends! All you need are these fun cut outs, some toilet paper rolls (or kitchen rolls cut in half), paint and some glue. Once finished, there is lots of opportunity to play and recreate some of your favourite Poppy Cat Stories.
Note: you could also colouring your paper rolls with pens or wrap them coloured paper, if you decide that you don't feel like painting today!
Step 1: Begin by colouring your paper rolls in the right colours – orange for Poppy Cat, white for Zuzu and so on. For the smaller animals – such as Mo and Owl, you will have to snip a bit off your cardboard tube to make it shorter – about a quarter or 1/3 will do. Let them dry a little and add details, such a yellow tummy and red stripes for Poppy Cat, some black spots for Zuzu and feathers for Owl.
Step 2: Print out your free printable and cut out your cut outs – get an adult to help you with the tricky bit. Leave a little "flap" at the end of the arms, so you can easily stick these on.
Step 3: Once your paper tubes have dried, use a smaller pair of scissors to cut out a semi circle at the bottom of your paper roll – this gives you characters some "legs". Do it at the front and back. You may want an adult to help you!
Step 4: Glue on your faces and arms.
Let it all dry and you are ready to play.
Why not add some little flowers and butterflies, a little blanket and let Poppy Cat and her friends sit down for a Summer Picnic? Or maybe Poppy Cat, wants to get into a shoe box boat and go for an adventure on the ocean? A blue blanket, sheet or scarf makes for a perfect ocean or river bed? What other adventures can you think of?
So printing these out! My daughter won't let us throw out a single roll of toilet paper… Finally, something fun to do!
Brilliant, my work is done!
I have been hired to teach a sewing class at a local, family-owned fabric store. I love the little bean bags and wondered if I could have permission to use the pattern for the class.
Thank you for asking and yes, pleased do!!

Your friends love you, they care about you; they are sad, angry, and confused on your behalf and trying to do their best. But they aren't always thinking about how your divorce is making you feel. Sometimes–more often than they'd dare to admit–they are thinking about what your divorce makes them feel. Which leads to some pretty strange behavior. Here's a look at what your still-married friends are thinking–and ways for you to deal with it. It will help you keep your jaw from hitting the ground in those moments when they forget that you're the one living the tragedy!
They treat you like their personal marriage counselor. Friends will look to you for the answers in their own relationship. They'll call you from an empty parking lot to complain about their spouse after storming out of the house and driving off in a rage. They'll recount every detail of their spouse's excessive spending habits and ask if you think their marriage can survive their differences. They may even throw the divorce word around in front of you: "If he thinks I'm going to move in with his parents indefinitely, he's wrong. I will divorce him, I'm not kidding." (This last one will sting a bit, because you of all people know that divorce is not a word that should be uttered lightly, ever.) You don't need to pretend to have the answers. That's more pressure than you can handle right now. Just listen with a sympathetic ear, and remind your friends that every marriage is different–and just because you're going through a divorce yourself, it doesn't make you an expert on their relationship.
They mourn the loss of you-and-your-ex, their "couple friends." When your marriage broke up, so did your perfect three-couple game nights. It can take years to find the right couples to click with–those rare, precious double-friendships where the husbands get along just as well as the wives. So for now, your couple friends are back at square one when it comes to sharing football game tickets or day-tripping to local wineries. Yes of course they still want you to come alone (they really do), but the dynamic has shifted, and you're all probably feeling it. You can find new ways to connect. Yes, you can still stay close to these friends, but we'll wager a bet it will probably be in different time slots. In place of your standing Saturday night double-date, why not go out to brunch with your couple pals, or have them and their kids over for football Sunday at your house. And they will work through their disappointment on their own–while they silently hope that they'll click with the next person you start dating (whenever that might be, they're not going to rush you).
They get irrationally jealous and suspicious–of you. This behavior is more rare, but it happens often enought that it's worth mentioning. Suddenly, your friend will wonder why it took you 10 minutes to help her husband fix drinks in the kitchen. Or, your guy friend will shoot you a look after you tell his wife she looks pretty this evening. Sometimes, even people who know you well will feel threatened once you're single–as if now that you're spouseless, you're on the prowl for someone else's partner. A friend may confront you or, more often, become aloof or make puzzling comments about "the way you're acting." Confront them. Have a frank, private conversation with your friend, and explain (calmly, not defensively) that you've been getting some strange vibes from her/him, and want to discuss the situation. It's a difficult conversation to have ("I was only helping with the martinis–I want to make that clear"), but if you value your friendship and want to keep it, address this head-on. On the other hand, you might decide that a friend who would even silently accuse you of misbehavior with their spouse is not a friend at all. If that's the case, you still might feel better clearing the air before ending the friendship. The decision is yours.
They try on your single life. Probably even before you do yourself. Without even realizing that they're doing it, your friends will try to live vicariously through you, their suddenly single pal. Your tennis buddy will sidle up to you at the block party and ask who you think is the best-looking spouse in the neighborhood. Your married coworkers will take you out "so you can have some fun"–and they'll end up drunk and dancing on the bar. Your lifelong best friends will suddenly want more details about your latest blind date than they have since you were 14. They'll envy your freedom to go out for drinks after work whenever you want, spend money on yourself, flirt a little, and come home at 3am without calling home. Just do what you want. You don't owe your friends anything: spill when you want to, go dancing if you feel like it, and if you don't think any of your neighbors are worth a second glance (or if you find the question slightly disturbing), don't say a word. And don't be shy about reminding them, if you have to, that you'd gladly hand back your so-called newfound "freedom" in exchange for not having to live the gut-wrenching hard stuff of divorce.

Q: Everytime I logoff/shutdown, my computer synchronizes to a remote folder Every time I logoff or shutdown my pc at work, I get the following dialog:

It is clearly a synchronization of some sort, it shows the path to the remote folder which is located in a PC in another department, I tried to check that folder physically but the owner of the machine would not help and he said something like "this machine has important files and I can not let you touch it". Now how do I reach the settings of this synchronization and know which files it's been synchronizing since ages? and how to I stop it?

A: You can read here about using "Offline Files".
You don't have to have access to that computer.
You can browse on your own computer via "Network" to that computer and folder.

*

*You can enter \\MACHINENAME\folder in the address-bar and press enter
(or browse via "Network" to this computer/folder.

*Go one level higher (so you can Right-Click that folder)

*un-check Make Available Offline
Now those files won't synchronize anymore at logoff.
Edit: If you don't use "Offline Files" I would disable it completely so this won't happen accidentally in the future (after doing the above):

*

*Click Start, and then click My Computer.

*On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

*Click the Offline Files-tab.

*un-check the Enable Offline Files check box, and then click OK.


Following the collapse of Mycenaean palace society and a period of relative poverty and isolation, Greece experienced a cultural and political renaissance. From the eighth century B.C.E. onwards, renewed contact with the Near East, Anatolia, Phoenicia, Egypt, and other peoples around the Mediterranean had a profound impact on Greek culture.
The linear Geometric style of pottery (image above, left) gave way to "orientalizing" motifs, such as animals and florals (image above, right). Homer composed his epic poems and a new political unit, the city-state (polis), emerged.
The figure scene that occupies the highest register in the bowl above shows the new direction in which Athenian vase painting was moving. It shows gods, goddesses, nymphs and others processing to the house of the hero Peleus to celebrate his wedding to the beautiful sea-nymph Thetis.
The sea-nymph Thetis was loved by both Zeus, king of the gods, and Poseidon, god of the sea. However, their ardor was cooled when they learned that Thetis' son was destined to be greater than his father.
The gods decided that Thetis should be made to marry a mortal in order that her son, however powerful, should present no threat to the gods. They chose Peleus and to reconcile Thetis to this inferior alliance, they gave the couple a magnificent wedding, illustrated on this vase. Peleus stands to the right, before the doors of his house to greet his guests, who arrive either on foot or by chariot.
Among the first is the wine god Dionysos, who carries a vine branch laden with grapes (above, third figure from the right), symbolizing the wine that will be drunk at the wedding feast, perhaps mixed in a bowl of this shape. The centaur Cheiron, part man and part horse, also appears; he later became the tutor of the son of Peleus and Thetis, the mighty Achilles. Thetis is decorously concealed within. The names of the guests are written neatly alongside.
The first chariot in the procession carries Zeus and Hera, the second Poseidon and Amphitrite, the third Hermes and Apollo and the fourth Ares and Aphrodite. Between the chariots walk groups of Fates, Graces and Muses, one of whom plays the pipes. Athena and Artemis ride in the last chariot, and are followed by Thetis' grandfather, the fish-tailed sea-god Okeanos, his wife Tethys, and Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth. Hephaistos brings up the rear, seated side-saddle on a mule.
Between the columns of the house, Sophilos has signed the vase "Sophilos painted me." Sophilos is the first Greek vase painter whose name we know.
When this black-figured vase was acquired by The British Museum in 1971, it was in a restored condition with only a few areas of loss. It has since come to the Museum's Conservation Department three times. On the first visit, a conservator repositioned fragments with the artist's signature, Sophilos, so that it was easier to read. A few years later the Museum acquired five fragments which had originally belonged to the vase. Conservators removed areas of gap-fill to allow these fragments to be reunited. Neither job was simple. The old restoration was hard and difficult to remove.
Conservators were able to reassess the old restoration when the vase was examined during gallery refurbishment in 1983. The old adhesive and gap-fills were identified as a polyester resin, which had hardened and become brittle; there were cracks in the stand which may have been a direct result. Today, this type of resin is not considered appropriate for use on ceramic artifacts. It was decided that the vase would benefit from dismantling and reassembly using more stable and reversible conservation materials. Taking down the old joins and fills and manually cleaning away the polyester resin from fragments was a long process. The fragments were reassembled using a reversible adhesive and areas of loss were gap-filled using plaster of Paris and painted.

Q: Pascal Triangle recursive program not working Here is my code... I am a beginner and appreciate any feed back. My problem I am trying to solve is to print the pascal triangle up to the user imputed row.
public class Pascal111 {

  int max;
  int r,c;
  public int pascal(int maxm){
  max=maxm;

  for(int r=0; r<max; r++){
    for (int c=0; c<r; c++){
     populate();}
 }
  return max;
 }

  public void populate(){
   int[][] array=new int[max][max];
   if (r==0){
     array[0][0]=1;
   }
   else if(c==0){
     array[0][0]=1;
}
else if(c==r){
  array[r][c]=1;;
}
else
  array[r][c]=(array[r-1]+array[c-1]+array[r-1]+array[c]);
 }

}

I get the following error....
Error: bad operand types for binary operator '+'
  first type:  int[]
  second type: int[]

A: array[r][c]=(array[r-1]+array[c-1]+array[r-1]+array[c]);

is wrong.
array is a 2-D array, thus array[X] represents a complete row (1-D array). You just can't do binary operation on 1-D arrays and put it on a single element array[r][c].
Instead replace it with
array[r][c]=(array[r-1][c-1]+array[r-1][c]);

A: Although I haven't looked at this closely, one mistake stands out: you have two different variables named r and two different variables named c.
Here's the relevant parts of your code:
public class Pascal111 {

    int r,c;  // (A)

    public int pascal(int maxm) {
        for (int r=0; r<max; r++){    // (B)
            for (int c=0; c<r; c++){  // (B)
                populate();
            }
        }
        return max;
    }

    public void populate() {
        if (r==0) {
            ... more code that accesses r and c
        }
    }

The declaration at (A) declares instance variables, because the declaration isn't inside a method.  This means that whenever you create a Pascal111 object, this object will have fields named r and c.  They are initialized to 0.
The declarations at (B), since they have int keywords on them, declare new variables.  These variables are local to the pascal method, which means they can be accessed only inside that method.  (Actually, they can be accessed only inside the for loops.)  These variables have no connection to the instance variables.  They are totally separate.  As you increment these local r and c variables, the instance variables remain unchanged.  That is, they are still 0.
The populate method can't access local variables declared in pascal.  So when populate refers to r and c, they are referring to the instance variables.  These are not the variables that get incremented in the loop, but rather the instance variables that remain 0.
One way to fix this would be to remove the int on the declarations in (B); that would cause pascal to increment the instance variables, and then populate would use those.  However, that is the wrong approach.
The best way to fix these is not to use the instance variables to communicate between pascal and populate--but rather, to use parameters.  That is:
    for (int r=0; r<max; r++){    // (B)
        for (int c=0; c<r; c++){  // (B)
            populate(r, c);
        }
    }

and later:
public void populate(int r, int c) {

Then, when populate refers to r and c, it will refer to the parameters, which are in essence local variables.  The parameters will be the r and c from pascal.  (But you don't have to use the same names for the pascal variables and the populate parameters.)  After you do this, you'll find that the instance variables are no longer needed at all.  It's always, or almost always, wrong to have instance variables used as loop indexes anyway.
A similar error: You have array as a local variable inside populate.  This means that you're creating a brand new array every time you call it to set up one array element.  Then, when populate returns, array can no longer be accessed, so whatever work you've done is lost.

JEANNIEROSS BARCIA
October 15, 2017 October 19, 2017 by Bob Brooker Comment Closed
Under 14 Champion of the X11 Tournament at The Royal Tennis Club
Jeannie Barcia became the under 14 champion of the X11 tournament at the The Royal Tennis Club this weekend.
The Semi-final
After a marathon semi-final match, that lasted for two hours and forty five minutes, against Sofía Marinesco, a strong player with a hard hitting forehand and backhand top spin. After losing the first set 4-6, Jeannie used her powerful forehand and backhand drives to take the second set 6-1. The match then went into a super tie-break which Jeannie, now full of confidence, won (10-5). During the match Jeannie fell three times whilst trying to return very difficult balls, it was a very emotional match.
The final score to Jeannie: 4-6, 6-1, (10-5)
The final was against Maria who was physically taller than Jeannie with powerful serves, forehands and backhands. However, Jeannie, full of confidence after the semi-final, won the championship after a good match.
The final score to Jeannie: 6-1, 6-4

Rubio Wins Washington D.C. Republican Presidential Caucuses
Earlier, Rubio and Kasich suggested they may not support Trump if he becomes the GOP nominee.

Marco Rubio has won the Republican presidential caucuses in Washington D.C. on Saturday.
It's the third presidential contest victory for the Florida senator. Earlier this month, Rubio won the GOP caucuses in Minnesota and the party's primary in Puerto Rico.
Rubio picked up 10 delegates with his Saturday caucus win in the nation's capital. Runner-up John Kasich was just 50 votes behind Rubio, and the Ohio governor will get nine delegates.
None of the other candidates in the race won enough votes to earn any delegates.
Earlier, Rubio and Kasich suggested they may not support Donald Trump if he becomes the GOP nominee, as violence at the front-runner's rallies deepened the party's chaotic chasm.
Rubio told supporters that while he was currently sticking with his pledge to back the nominee if he wasn't the party's choice, "it's getting harder every day."
Kasich said the "toxic environment" Trump is creating "makes it extremely difficult" to support him.


The Atacama Desert is the driest place on earth. You may recognize it from Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets where its desolate appearance was a convincible substitute for Mars. The region in northern Chile sees an average of one millimetre of rain a year creating a hostile environment for agriculture.
But even in regions of the world where the dirt cracks and nothing grows, there is water, it's just harnessing it that's the challenge. Through the installation of giant water nets people have been able to capture moisture from the air to help alleviate their water crisis.
The desertification of Chañaral region in Chile was largely caused by the mining industry which contaminated water sources and killed plant life. In the early 2000s the region saw a change in its agricultural abilities with the installation of nets made of polypropylene mesh that turns fog particles into water droplets. The nets are built on top of mountain ranges allowing gravity to take over the distribution process to the aloe vera plants below. The water also flows from the nets into storage tanks which provide clean drinking water for the people of the region. This project and others similar to it in South America have improved the quality of life of the villages which often saw migration due to lack of agricultural and thus economic opportunities.
In 2015 a project run by NGO Dar Si Hmad brought the same idea to Marrakech, Morocco. At an altitude of 4, 000 feet the nets capture the coastal fog that sits within the mountain range. The placement of the nets requires frequent repairs due to weather damage which prompted Canadian NGO FogQuest to design CloudFisher, a more durable product. The pilot project which now provides water to 500 people living in the villages boarding the Sahara has plans to be upgraded and expanded to reach another 500 residents over the next two years.
The necessity for this project is in part due to climate change which has made Morocco a drier region. By harnessing fog the region has created a clean sustainable source for water that relieves the burden from women who would spend 3.5 hours a day fetching water.

This instructable will show you how to make your very own Tetris mirror, a laser cut acrylic mirror inspired by the video game. I will be showing you how to make this mirror using RazorLAB which I am also the founder of.
- A vector drawing program. I used illustrator but Inkscape is also good and free to download if you can't get hold of illustrator.
- Access to a laser cutting machine. With RazorLAB, all you have to do is upload your drawing through the site, choose your material, get instant pricing, pay online and get it delivered to your door.
- Sticky tabs for hanging the mirror.
I used illustrator to create the artwork for my mirror. RazorLAB have a handy starter kit which explains how to prepare your drawings ready for laser cutting. I designed the mirror so all the shapes slotted into each other (as with Tetris) making it quicker to cut (and also cheaper!), rather than cutting the shapes individually. They can then be spread out to imitate the game in action when it comes to fixing them to the wall. I took inspiration for the shapes from images of Tetris I found on the web, and it would be possible to use any number of combinations!
To use RazorLAB for the laser cutting, the drawing needs to be transferred to one of the design templates, specifically the p3 size (384 x 790mm). It's then time for last minute double checks on line thickness etc to make sure the drawing is ready to upload.
Once the drawing is finished, save it as an EPS file as instructed in the starter kit and upload it to the RazorLAB website, where material can then be chosen.The material I use for the Tetris Mirror is 3mm silver mirrored acrylic, but gold mirrored acrylic also works well (you could even make one in each colour and interchange the pieces). Once the order is placed it's picked up by the team at RazorLAB and processed.
The mirror is then cut on the laser cutter, you wouldn't normally see this part (unless you have your own laser cutter) but i've uploaded some photo's to show the process!
When the parts arrive back (yay!) all thats left to do is add the sticky tabs on the back of the pieces for arranging on the wall, and peel the protective film off the front of the acrylic. Then the pieces can be arranged on the wall however you like to recreate the game!
Awesome! I love that it creates a perfect rectangle so you can make a full mirror if you want or you can make it look more like the game!


Gout is caused by excess production of uric acid, usually deposited into joints, fingers and toes. It may be caused by excess alcohol, meat or rich foods as many people find it seems to bring on or aggrivate this condition.
If you have this problem, try laying off of the rich and heavy foods including all processed foods.
A simple change in diet can lead to no more flare-ups! My father has this and has had great success with juicing cherries.
One of my favorite herbs to use for this is Spikenard. If you have flare ups frequently definitely keep Spikenard on hand in tincture form. Nettle also is very effective.
Add it to fresh cherry juice and sip it until symptoms are gone. You can always get store bought cherry juice but fresh is always the best as it has not been pasturized and has not lost it's important vitamins and enzymes that are needed to alliviate these symptoms.
Cherries, Avocado, Carrot, Celery, Parsley, Bananas, Blackberries, Raspberries, Stawberries.
Juice and drink until well.
