December 31, 2006: East Windsor Township presents 2006 Business Awards
EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP. Mayor Janice S. Mironov presented the East Windsor Township 2006 Business Awards at a recent Township Council meeting. The purpose of the awards program is to recognize local businesses that have made special efforts to improve or contribute to the community. Nominations of businesses were accepted in three categories: 1) creating an attractive appearance, 2) community contributions and service, and 3) providing a special community enhancement.
Mayor Mironov presented the award for the category of creating an attractive appearance, by way of landscaping and the physical appearance of their structures and site, to the Holiday Inn East Windsor, located on Monmouth Street.
The award was given in recognition and appreciation for the remodeling of the former Ramada Inn now known as the Holiday Inn, which include a new façade and interior renovations.
Mayor Mironov praised the new look of the Holiday Inn which is the Township's largest lodging facility with 200 rooms. According to Mayor Mironov, "the new Holiday Inn with its attractive façade and remodeled interior is a major asset to the Township and, along with the facility's conference center and restaurant, is an oustanding lodging facility at the Exit 8 area of the New Jersey Turnpike." The Mayor added, "the new Holiday Inn, along with other fine lodging facilities, further enhances the East Windsor Exit 8 interchange as the most attractive and popular designation for business travelers and tourists along the New Jersey Turnpike."

The image gallery for Dragon Hunter Island
Dragon Hunter Island was a port for the Dragon Hunters, as mentioned in Dragons: Race to the Edge.
" A major port for the dragon trade. Where Hunters will sell the dragons they have captured for a large sum. "
— Hiccup's Official RttE Map[1]
Dragon Hunter Island is fairly large, with beaches, coastline on which ships can be moored, sparsely forested areas, cliffs, and a central pit that appears like a quarry and man-made. Ribbed dragon spines serve as ladders between levels. Dragon-proof metal cages litter the island where dragons are kept to be sold or slaughtered. There is also a network of caverns serving as additional storage and living space. In the general vicinity of the island, there is Caldera Cay and ironically Vanaheim.
The Chief of the Dragon Hunters, Viggo Grimborn, has a base on this island. In "Maces and Talons, Part 1", Ryker brings Dagur, and his sister Heather to the island to meet with Viggo. After Heather is revealed to be a spy in "Maces and Talons, Part 2", the Dragon Riders head for the island to rescue Heather, with Viggo having set up challenges for them to get through. Heather was about to be executed for treason, but a reformed Dagur rescues her and Windshear.
In "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", Viggo and his hunters then attempt to make a dragon-proof fortress out of marble on the island. However, the Dragon Riders were able use a pair of captive Catastrophic Quakens to demolish the fortress.
In "Twintuition, it is revealed that the Dragon Hunters are working on a venture called Project Shellfire, which allows them to control a Shellfire dragon and arm it with a dragon-proof ship to attack the Dragon Riders and their allies.
In "Shell Shocked, Part 1", Ryker leads a coup against Viggo and ransacks the entire island before the Dragon Riders can enter the fray.
This island is never referred to as "Dragon Hunter Island" in the Dragons: Race to the Edge episodes. Instead it is simply referred to as 'Viggo's Base'.

Can .NET assemblies reference a COM interop version unspecific
Thread: Can .NET assemblies reference a COM interop version unspecific
paulneider
In a .NET assembly I use a third-party COM component (as an API), which is referenced via a COM interop. During delivery, we are not allowed to deliver this COM interop. If exactly the same version of the third-party COM component is installed on the target system, then this can be called/loaded. If an older/newer version of the third-party COM component is installed, then the COM interop must be next to our assembly so that the COM component can be loaded.
If our assembly is built against the same COM interop version as on the target system, then the COM component can be loaded without the COM interop being placed next to it. If the version is different, then the COM interop must be placed next to our assembly.
Is there a way to turn off this version specificity during the build process?
It does not work with the setting "Specific Version = False" on the COM interop reference in Visual Studio.
If we could switch off this version specificity, then we could take the COM interops on the target system with a different version and place it next to our assembly.

How to Create Mobile UI Animations That Meet Users' Needs
Alyona Zakurdaieva
Vitaly Rubtsov
Interface animation is an essential part of developing any digital product, application, or website. Think about how rarely you come across an application or a website that doesn't have at least one animated interface element. At Yalantis, we're thorough in our approach to creating animations and try not to overlook any detail. In this article, we'll discuss why animations are needed, what to consider when creating them, and how to make animations for mobile apps from a designer's point of view.
How is animation used in mobile applications?
One of the main goals of motion design is to enhance the usability. Animations in apps help users identify connections between interface elements and views; give feedback to users so they know what's happening; show the hierarchy of pages and screens; and attract attention to important elements and functions.
[Finance app concept. Find more on our Dribbble account]
List bounces, processing bars, hover effects, and click effects improve the user experience and usability. Well-thought-out motion design makes a user interface more predictable, easier to control and navigate, faster, and more convenient. Moreover, it brings delight and makes the experience memorable. The way interface elements interact with each other and with the user determines the overall impression and experience of using your product.
What does the process of creating animations look like?
Creating animations and motion design falls at the final stage of the design process. Prior to this, there are five fundamental stages of app design: research, wireframing, prototyping, testing, and visual design. These stages are iterative, so they can be performed in a different order depending on the requirements. The first step in creating UI mobile apps animations is prototyping, though some ideas may come earlier during sketching or wireframing.
[Connect Home. Find more on our Dribbble account]
At the prototyping stage, we generate and test our first ideas and create sketches including for interactions (animations) which will later be detailed and perfected. Most often, the overall visual style is still not defined at the prototyping stage. The main output of this stage is the general page structure, which also may be changed during future iterations if needed. That's why at the prototyping stage, we create so-called low-fidelity prototypes of interactions with minimum details. This saves time and allows us to test more ideas.
The main part of the motion design happens after the overall visual style is approved and when all UI screens are ready.
For example, when working on one of our projects, we needed to let users select multiple elements and visually display this choice with an analogy from the real world: putting items in a basket at the grocery store and seeing what's already there and what's missing.
After eliciting requirements, we started looking for references for a specific case and then sketched ideas with a pencil. After we had tested each of these ideas, we created the animation with the help of Principle for Mac.
What to consider when creating animations for mobile applications
Follow platform guidelines
When creating animations, you should always take into account current mobile UI design trends as well as the design guidelines for the platform you're designing for. For example, following the detailed Material Design recommendations, you can create a good motion design interface without any special research. Moreover, this interface will already be familiar to your users.
[Pulse Feedback Flow. Find more on our Dribbble account]
Nevertheless, we frequently face cases when solutions provided by guidelines are insufficient and we need to create something new. In such cases, we start with a pencil and notebook to search for ideas. We invent motions, interactions of interface elements, and transitions between them on paper and then polish them later.
Comply with brand identity and the needs of your target audience
The overall style and mood of animations, as well as their connection to the brand, are also important for building great interactions. In many cases, animations have to match the product's main idea and the needs of its target audience. For example, if you create an app for kids, then bright colors, bounce effects, and animated characters are great ways to craft an interactive experience and create the right mood. But in other cases, such a playful approach may be inappropriate.

The techniques mentioned above are used not only for children's apps and websites but also in products that focus on gaming and friendliness.
Don't forget about ethical and social norms
There are tricky cases when you've double-checked everything and thought over every part, but there's still a small detail that grows into a big problem. Here's an example of one of our own oversights.
We needed to create an animation for gender selection in the onboarding for the Talos app. Talos is a fitness application that adjusts to each user and provides recommendations based on user data. To make this possible, the app asks users some simple questions during onboarding. One of the first questions is about the user's gender. You can see one of our solutions for this in the animation below. At first glance, everything is fine; the control is based on a standard switch and works fine. However, later we realized that this particular control should be designed differently – male is set as the default gender. At the testing stage, we received some negative feedback from users who called this solution sexist.
[Talos Onboarding. Find more on our Dribbble account]
When creating the interface and animations, take into account not only the technical side and usability but also cultural norms. You definitely don't want to lose users because of insensitivity.
How to choose a tool for designing animations
There are a number of popular tools for motion design and prototyping, including Principle for Mac, Flinto, Framer, After Effects, Origami Studio, and Form. Your choice of mobile animation software should depend on your goals.
Principle and Flinto
Principle and Flinto are the easiest to use. At the same time, they have a number of limitations such as the inability to implement 3D animations and export specifications for developers. Also, animations always occur between artboards, which means that a serious prototype can quickly become messy. Thus, you'll need to use some additional tools. Nevertheless, with Principle and Flinto you can quickly build prototypes and create custom animations.
After Effects isn't intended for prototyping. But it has a wide variety of tools and resources for creating different types of animation. With its built-in plugins, it has tools for exporting an animation to code. It's a bit harder to master than Principle or Flinto, however.
Framer, Origami Studio, and Form
Framer, Origami Studio, and Form are powerful tools for prototyping, though they each have a steep learning curve. They're based on coding or visual programming.
In terms of development, there's one important detail you need to take into account when choosing the right tool for your needs – delivery. Nowadays, there's no generally accepted standard for delivering prototypes and animations to developers. Some designers make specifications for each micro-interaction manually. Some designers send a video or .gif file and then help the developer by describing the flow. Some combine both methods. This happens because the tools listed above either lack features to solve the problems of delivery or solve them only partially.
If we need to quickly create a working, clickable prototype with custom animations and transitions, we choose Principle or Flinto. If we also need to deliver the result to a developer who works remotely, we work in Framer, Origami Studio, or After Effects (there are some useful plugins for After Effects that export an animation to code, including Lottie, Bodymovin, and InspectorSpacetime).
[Twitter 140+ app. Find more on our Dribbble account]
A few tips to top it off
Prepare your layout for import into the prototyping tool
This is especially important when creating an animation for an already approved UI with a lot of details and elements. To simplify your further work, carefully structure the components in your layout: give meaningful names to layers, combine layers into groups, get rid of unnecessary layers, and merge the components that you aren't going to animate into one or two assets. For example, if you're making a scroll animation of content in a list, you don't need to have every element of the list as a separate layer, not to mention every icon and button.
[Car sharing app concept. Find more on our Dribbble account]
Watch the duration of your animations
No matter how fun it is to animate static mockups and play with bounce effects and splashes, remember that what you're creating isn't a cartoon, but rather an interface. If you abuse animations, they'll clutter your UX instead of improving it. One of the most important characteristics of an animation is its duration. Animations that are too long make users wait, which nobody likes. To define the right duration, use your own sense of time as well as guidelines.
For example, in the Material Design guidelines, there's a special Motion section. Using the information in these guidelines, you can easily create effective and functional motion design. Another reference you can use is the 12 principles of animation from the Disney studio. These principles are based on years of Disney's experience, and suggest how to create more natural, lively, and realistic animations. But, when using animation to improve a mobile app, don't forget – you're building an interface, not a cartoon!

The Christian Life Introduction The Book of Romans is what Martin Luther called the most important letter that Paul ever wrote. The theological arguments and implications of Romans are far-reaching and the many topics are interconnected and entirely consistent with one another in argumentation and style. Within this cogent and comprehensive theological statement of belief and faith, Paul writes extensively on what it means to live a Christian life. He combines his understanding of the fall of humankind, the Old Testament law, and the fulfillment of the law in Jesus Christ with the post-Pentecostal period where the Holy Spirit dwells in believers who have professed their faith in Jesus as their Savior. According to Rom 8, the Spirit is integral to the Christian's sanctification. The life of a Christian is one in which believers should rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them in their daily lives, a life where they are obedient to God and stand in faith on His promises. Reliance on the Holy Spirit Paul teaches that the mind is the key to obedience, but that the mind is helpless to the desires of the flesh unless the person has the Spirit active within him or her. Without the indwelling Spirit, a person simply cannot be obedient to God. Paul explains why in Romans 8:5, indicating that the fundamental reason for people's inability to obey is that their minds are fixed on the flesh without the Spirit's grace. He states, "Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." In this sense, the mind is the slave of the body without the Spirit. With the Spirit, however, the mind is the slave of the Spirit. On... ... middle of paper ... ...ber 12, 2013. Bruce, F.F.

Take a sneak peek into this essay!
In this essay, the author
Analyzes how paul combines his understanding of the fall of humankind and the old testament law with the post-pentecostal period where the holy spirit dwells in believers who have professed their faith in jesus as their savior.
Analyzes how paul teaches that the mind is the key to obedience, but that without the indwelling spirit, a person cannot be obedient to god.
Analyzes how paul builds on the idea of the mind as slave by arguing that the body or the spirit will always have a governor or leader, and the person is helpless to resist the flesh.
Analyzes the meanings of "flesh" and "spirit" in paul's letter.
Explains that the slavery to the spirit that paul describes for the believer is far from the type of bondage suffered by sinners; it is freedom from sin and a freedom to live in obedience to god.
Analyzes how paul redefines obedience within the context of the new law of spirit so that people understand what it is to obey god in the new covenant.
Analyzes paul's cogent analysis of the relationship between sin, death, the law, and salvation from sin and death.
Analyzes how paul explains the relationship between law and sin by arguing that the law itself is not sinful but it exposes sin.
Analyzes how paul uses this analysis of the relationship between sin, death, the law, and jesus' righteous life and resurrection to explain how present christians can live right lives.
Opines that sin is no longer your master because you are not under the law, but under grace. but thanks be to god that you have come to obey the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.
Analyzes how paul addresses the false argument that believers in jesus may do as they like now that they are not beholden to the law.
Analyzes how paul makes his discussion of law, sin, righteousness, jesus, and the spirit personal by making it personal. he declares that he is wretched and in need of rescuing.
Analyzes how paul lays the foundation for the process of sanctification as an expression of the spirit's righteousness acting within the person.
Explains that the offering of the body is an expression of sanctification as the believer is granted righteousness and released from the bonds of sin.
Analyzes how paul explains the process of sanctification in romans 6 when he identifies every believer with the death of christ as well as his resurrection.
Analyzes how paul avoids any sense of legalism where christians would have to engage in certain practices to enjoy the gift of salvation and eternal life.
Analyzes how the theme of death and rebirth is one that paul carries through his argument about how believers' faith in christ enables them to be sanctified.
Analyzes how paul's theology teaches believers to reject the cultures in which they live as the patterns of their lives. the renewing of the mind leads one back to what paul explained in romans 8.
Explains that paul's directions offer believers a direct way to ensure that they obey god and live righteously.

The Seventh Chapter of Romans
Stowers, Stanley. A Rereading of Romans: Justice, Jews, and Gentiles. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1994.
Analyzes how the seventh chapter of romans remains one of the more controversial sections of paul's final letter. it is rhetorically and stylistically challenging, and there is no consensus as to audience, or meaning.
Argues that paul is not speaking as himself, but as a gentile, apart from the law and christ. the statements in verses 14 through 20 would apply equally to both parties.
Analyzes how paul's statements imply that, as a whole, the statement does apply or can apply to any person.
Analyzes how paul points to a reality of self-betrayal by acknowledging the deep schism between the will and the actions.
Argues that paul's critique of torah is not only about torah, but also about the ability of human beings to consistently obey its mandates.
Analyzes how the schism between actions and thought in romans 7 is indicative of a larger and detrimental trend in humanity.

Justification by Faith
While acknowledging the divergent views of Nygren and Bornkamm that Romans reflects Paul's past experience, this essay, however, sides with the view that the Sitz im Leben of Romans manifests itself as a letter addressed to the social interactions between Jews and Gentiles and the situation of the Roman Jewish community whom Paul hopes to persuade, as in 14:1 and 15:3, to build up a Christian community net-work in order to give concrete support to his mission to Spain and spiritual support for his journey to Jerusalem (L. K. Lo, 1998 and Ziesler, 1989). This manifestation is again revealed in Paul's discussion of the commonality of sinfulness of Jews and Gentiles in 1:18-32 and 2:21-24, arguing that their solidarity in sin has put them in the same situation of guilt and powerlessness (Lo, 1998). The problem of human sin affecting Jews and Gentiles can only be solved by the divine righteousness which comes to the rescue of human beings in their collective predicament and which is, as in 1:17, primarily a saving power available to all who have faith in and respond to Jesus Christ (Ziesler, 1989). It is therefore against this background that this essay will attempt to discuss Pauline doctrine of justification by faith as understood by scholars like Ziesler, Barclay, Kasemann, Lo and Heinecken and to highlight where relevant differences in their perceptions of the doctrine. In its latter part, this essay will take issue with contentions that the doctrine constitutes only a subsidiary crater (Schweitzer), that justification is only the consequence rather than the content of the gospel (Molland) and that Christology rather than justification is the theme of the epistle (Friedrich) and will argue that the doctrine is so important and...
Argues that the sitz im leben of romans manifests itself as a letter addressed to the social interactions between jews and gentiles and the situation of the roman jewish community.
Argues that paul's reference to these three important conceptions at the preamble before dealing with any specific issue of the concrete situation in rome lends cogent and telling support to the contention that the doctrine of justification is the central theme in romans.
Analyzes how paul focuses on the plight of all human races which are neither free from sin nor free for god, a dire situation which evokes god's wrath.
Analyzes barclay's view that keeping all the laws is the way to attain to a right relationship with god.
Analyzes heinecken's position that christians remain righteous and sinners and need daily repentance and renewal.
Explains that the only condition for salvation on human side is faith in jesus christ, equally open to everyone, both jews and gentiles.
Analyzes how deissmann and schweitzer relegate the theme of justification of faith to an insignificant'side-crater' in paul's theology.
Analyzes how the essay refutes the veracity of the argument based on the frequency and number of references to the language 'in christ' in pauline letters.

Stott, John R. W. The Message of Romans: God's good news for the world. Downer's Grove:
Analyzes how the book of romans teaches us about many aspects of christian life, including how we should view the natural world, our identity as people, relationships, culture, civilization and more.
Explains that the bible is a revelation of god and not merely written by man. god showed himself to us through creation.
Explains that human identity is found through knowing christ and knowing our true nature. faith in jesus, the full trust in his saving work, is the condition of justification.
Explains that human relationships are often confusing and the hardest part of life. since we are fallen beings, we sin, and we often sin against each other.
Analyzes how paul reminds us that god doesn't save based on race, but on grace.
Explains that the law is written on our hearts, and we know what is right and wrong, so we have laws that are moral.
Concludes that the natural world, our identity as people, the relationships we have and how we treat those relationships, culture, and civilization all change the way we look at the world.

Analyzes how octavian gave up his powers and returned absolute authority in the provinces as well as his control of the legions that were sanctioned there.
Explains that octavian's new position was the office of proconsul and consul, which granted control over spain, gaul, syria, cilicia, cyprus and egypt.
Explains that the first settlement of 27 bc, was a significant factor that set the foundations for octavian's continual rise to power.
Explains that two titles were also given to octavian during 27 bc. the first was 'augustus', which was sanctioned by the senate on the 16th of january.
Explains that octavian was given the title of imperator after his defeat of mark antony in 31 bc at the battle of actium.
Explains that octavian wished to reorganise the political structures of the first settlement. the retention of his consulship gave him the necessary power and authority to begin making these changes.

Opines that no punic accounts exist of the conflict due to roman victory and the roman accounts of livy, appian, and cassius dio came far after the event.
Explains that the first official relations between rome and carthage began in 508 b.c., with the establishment of the roman republic.
Explains that rome was more responsible than the carthaginians for starting the war, in that they also sent a garrison to messina.
Analyzes how the peace reflected the relationship of power between rome and carthage, like the french after the germans took alsace-lorraine.
Explains that rome, at least officially, could only declare war for just reasons, such as if saguntum was in an alliance relationship with rome.
Analyzes how polybius, being a greek held hostage in rome, could not write partisan account of the war, at least not overtly.

Valentino's Lady in Black legend grows
One of the legends that developed after the death of silent screen idol Rudolph Valentino, was about the mysterious Lady in Black. Many have claimed to be her and others have donned the black veil and dress in their memory over the past ninety-one years. Just a few that have laid claim or have been credited to the legend are Pola Negri, Marion Benda, Jean Acker, Estrellita del Regil and her mother Anna, and the one who is most accepted to be the original Lady in Black, Ditra Flame.
Another woman who has a claim on the legend is one that most Valentino fans probably have never heard of. Her name is Florence Harrison. Florence's story is as mysterious as the woman she was alleged to be.
(click on image to enlarge)
Harrison's claim to the title was not known until several years after her death and was made by her son. This is what is known. Several years ago, a copy of the book, Valentino As I Knew Him, written by the actor's friend and manager, S. George Ullman, surfaced with the following inscription:
"In loving memory of Rodolpho Valentino and my beautiful mother, Florence Marie Rittenhouse (Marie Valentino) who died in Los Angeles of cancer on March 7, 1947. May my beautiful mother and the beautiful memory of her that I will cherish to my grave and Valentino, may they both rest in peace in each other's arms! My mother was the original 'Woman in Black' and quit when others tried to copy her and make a cheap publicity stunt out of it. T. G. (Tony Guglielmi)."
Florence Marie Rittenhouse was born in Pennsylvania in 1900 to Charles and Lillian (Shuman) Rittenhouse. A professional pianist, Florence married Samuel Harrison and moved to Washington D.C. There the Harrison's had three children: Warren, Thelma and David. One day in 1934, according to family lore, Florence and her eleven year-old son David, left Washington and moved to California, never seeing her family again. Nothing more is known about Florence until her death from breast cancer on March 7, 1947 at the County General Hospital in Los Angeles. Florence's remains were returned to Washington D.C. for burial at Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Florence Harrison's death certificate (click on image to enlarge)
As for David, he enlisted in the Army in 1942. The family claims that he had mental health problems and apparently was not able to live on his own. Were his problems a result of his stint in the Army, since they would never have inducted him if those problems were present.
The Tony Guglielmi (Guglielmi was Valentino's birth name) that signed the book was most likely Florence's son, David Harrison, but why would he sign it that way? By calling her "Marie Valentino," was he implying that his mother was married to the actor? Did David, who was born in 1923, believe that he was Valentino's son? Was Florence one of the many anonymous Lady's in Black that appeared at Valentino's memorial over the years? Or were these the wild delusions of a mentally disturbed young man? All we have is a brief inscription on the title page of a Rudolph Valentino biography, so unfortunately we may never know. Florence Harrison is one more name added to the already crowded legend.
The 91st Annual Rudolph Valentino Memorial is coming up on Thursday, August 23, 2018 at 12:10 p.m. in the Cathedral Mausoleum at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood. Be there. To learn more about the history of the Valentino Memorial, read the book, Valentino Forever: The History of the Valentino Memorial Service by Tracy Ryan Terhune.

The last days of Rudolph Valentino…Part One
The last days of Rudolph Valentino… Part one
For the next several days, we turn back the clocks 88 years and detail the last days of the silent film idol, Rudolph Valentino, on the corresponding day today…
New York City, Saturday, August 14, 1926
The facts about Rudolph Valentino's last night on the town vary, depending on who is telling the story and when they are telling it. In George Ullman's book, he mentions that Rudy's coloring was bad and urged him to return to his hotel room for a rest."Why, I feel wonderful!" Rudy replied. "I don't need rest."
Rudy spent the majority of the day at the apartment of Barclay Warburton., Jr., or "Buzzy" as his friends called him. Warburton, the grandson of department store founder John Wannamaker, was a scion of Philadelphia high society. Young, blonde, and handsome, Warburton, who was recently divorced from his first wife, occupied a bachelor apartment full of "soft lights, low couches and luxury."
That evening Rudy was feeling ill but insisted on going to his favorite restaurant, the Colony, for dinner with Warburton and Ullman. Adela Rogers St. Johns was visiting New York and also had rooms at the Ambassador. Rudy stopped on his way to suggest that Adela, James Quirk, and Quirk's fiancée, actress May Allison, join their party. "But we had theater tickets and it wasn't until the next day that we knew the serious results of that gay evening," St. Johns later wrote.
Dagmar Godowsky, Rudy's old friend and former costar, was also having dinner at the Colony the evening. I saw him the night before he was taken to the hospital," Godowsky later said, "we were at the Colony restaurant. He wasn't a happy man."
After dinner, Rudy complained of indigestion, admitting to Warburton that he had been troubled with it for some time. Regardless of his discomfort, the trio attended the George White's Scandals at the Apollo Theatre on 42nd Street. This was the eighth performance of the hit revue that Rudy had attended in the last two weeks. After the show, they met backstage with Scandals stars Frances White and Harry Richman. At some point, the group was invited to a party at the apartment of actress Lenore Ulric, but Rudy declined, saying he was not feeling well. Instead they went to Warburton's apartment, where, later reports said, between fourteen to sixteen people gathered including Marion Benda, who was just getting out of a performance of the Ziegfeld revue "No Foolin.'"
According to Harry Richman, there were "some drinks, music and dancing," but Valentino declined any refreshments" because he had indigestion. Guests slowly began leaving as the night progressed until only a small group remained. "Suddenly he collapsed." Richman said that Valentino became violently ill around one-thirty in the morning and was rushed back to the Ambassador.
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW…
Be sure to attend the 87th Annual Rudolph Valentino Memorial held each year at the Cathedral Mausoleum of Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 12:10 pm. See you there…

Q: Get the correct page height of a WebBrowser control I need the correct page height of a WebBrowser control.
In Javascript, this works:
var body = document.body;
var html = document.documentElement;
var height = Math.max( body.scrollHeight, body.offsetHeight, html.clientHeight, html.scrollHeight, html.offsetHeight );

Duplicate questions exist on SO, with the the following methods suggested:
webBrowser.Document.Body.ScrollRectangle.Height;
webBrowser.Document.GetElementsByTagName("body")[0].OffsetRectangle.Bottom;
webBrowser.Document.GetElementsByTagName("body")[0].OffsetRectangle.Height;

Except none return the same value as the JS code.
I'm open to the possibility that the JS value is wrong but I am fairly confident it is correct because scrolling to the bottom of the page and adding the ScrollTop position to the control height produces the same value.
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")[0].ScrollTop + webBrowser1.Height;

For my particular case, C# is returning a height of 510, while JS returns  correct height, 529. This inconsistency is throwing off a custom scroll bar I have written.

A: If you have access to the code for the page then you can add the Javascript in your question to that page and then invoke it from the Webbrowser and retrieve the result.

HomeBusinessMexico's cultural appropriation ban is off to a messy start
Mexico's cultural appropriation ban is off to a messy start
By harrry
The first embroidery stitch María Méndez Rodríguez learned at the age of 7 was the chain stitch. It's the same one that, years later, she would teach to her seven children. At 42, Méndez has mastered advanced stitches like the closed buttonhole and rococo. She's now diving back into the drawing process, trying to evolve from the traditional motifs of flowers and leaves she embroiders on blouses to better reflect the flora in her community.
Like many of the Tzeltales women in the community of Aguacatenango, in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, Méndez spends hours every week embroidering a single blouse. Back pain, finger pain, and eyestrain are common. Despite the long hours and creative details that their designs entail, the creations of Méndez and other artists in the community often go underappreciated. A small blouse can take between 30 to 40 hours to make and might sell for as low as 200 pesos (less than $10 USD). For many Indigenous women, their textiles are the main source of income.
While sales are slow for Méndez and others in her community, Indigenous patterns have exploded in popularity elsewhere: major companies like Zara, Anthropologie, Carolina Herrera, and Mango have incorporated similar designs into their clothing under the pretext of inspiration. Fashion houses have profited without acknowledging the origin of the designs or compensating communities.
"It becomes very complicated because the instruments to implement it are not explained"
But now, Mexico's Indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities are being sold a solution — or, at least, something that looks like one. To fight back against the plagiarism and dispossession of Indigenous art, Mexico has approved a law meant to protect and safeguard the cultural heritage of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples and communities. It recognizes the collective right to intellectual property of these communities, calls for the creation of a National Registry of Cultural Heritage, and allows the government to prosecute theft of a cultural work. On the surface, it's a bold step toward dealing with cultural appropriation and remedying some of the ways these communities continue to be marginalized.
Whether the law actually works is another question. Indigenous defenders and legal experts have raised concerns about implementation of the law — the Federal Law for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican Peoples and Communities — and whether Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples were able to actively participate in its crafting.
Legal experts have criticized the law's broad and vague provisions on ownership, coupled with the fact that it doesn't specify how the compensation for theft will be distributed. Intellectual property lawyer José Dolores González says that the law seems very ambitious, but it fails to clarify how it will be anchored in practice.
"For example, every Mexican has the right to a house, every Mexican has the right to a decent job," explains González. "These rights, in their content, in their human spirit, are very good. But in the daily practice of the law it becomes very complicated because the instruments to implement it are not explained."
Cultural works are continually being recreated and revised
Mexico's law, which came into effect last month, grants Indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities the authority to grant temporary licenses to companies to use their designs and get paid for it. It's not clear, however, who in the community can give this authorization. Likewise, the law says that any contracts or agreements made by any member individually will be null.
"It says that the community must authorize, but who is the community? And that the people have to give authorization; who is the people? You get stuck here," adds González. "Who are the people? Five people? Twenty people? The oldest person in town? One thousand people? The ejido commissioner?"
In addition to the challenges of determining who represents the communities, there is the problem of using the term "cultural heritage" to define what is being protected. Patricia Basurto, an academic at the Institute of Legal Research at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, warns that the law could generate social conflicts since several communities can claim the use of the same cultural heritage item.
Establishing the origin of a cultural expression is complex since they are passed down from generation to generation, and are constantly being re-created and revised within the communities. Méndez, for instance, has spent the last two years innovating and creating new designs, inspired by local birds and fruits, with the help of one of her sons. "Each artisan puts an idea into it … even if it's the same stitches, but maybe it could be a different drawing or different colors," says Méndez.
"The public domain, as it is, it's the back door for any company to avoid jail"
The law establishes penalties for the reproduction and commercialization of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican cultural expressions without approval from the community. The government can ban the sale of the designs, and prosecute, through the attorney general's office, national and foreign companies that breach agreements or copy cultural heritage items. Penalties range from up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to 4 million pesos (around $200,000 USD).
The attorney's general office will receive the fine, but it's unclear how it will be transferred to the communities and who will manage the money. A section of the law stipulates that in cases where there's a dispute, government bodies focused on culture and Indigenous communities will determine the resolution. But that answer worries Basurto and González, who warn that it threatens the right to autonomy and self-determination of Indigenous peoples.
In Mexico, the majority of Indigenous iconography is so old it has fallen into the public domain, and thus anyone can use them without having to seek the consent of the creators. That poses yet another problem for communities looking for protections under the law.
"This law would have to clarify what is going to happen with work that has fallen into the public domain, and what will happen with the Indigenous work that is in the domain of individuals," adds González. "The public domain, as it is, it's the back door for any company to avoid jail."
Major fashion retailers have repeatedly been accused of appropriating Indigenous designs
Social media has amplified concerns over the appropriation of Indigenous designs in recent years. In 2018, Zara, the Spanish fast-fashion retailer, sold a blouse with a strikingly similar design to an embroidery used by the women of Aguacatenango. Méndez and other artisans found out when they were contacted by Impacto, an organization that supports Indigenous artisans and their work. To this day, the artists have received neither a response nor any compensation. Inditex, which owns Zara, did not respond to The Verge's request for comment.
The Mixe people of Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, in the southern state of Oaxaca, had a similar experience in 2015 when they accused Parisian designer Isabel Marant of plagiarizing iconography distinctive to their blouse. In 2020, Marant again was accused, this time by the Mexican government, of appropriating a pattern unique to the Purépecha community in Michoacán state. Marant only responded with an apology, saying she wanted to pay tribute to the original designs.
"The saddest thing is that each garment takes weeks," says Méndez. "Perhaps a brand made it with a machine and then they are better paid. And we who work on that embroidery daily are underpaid."
"We want this benefit to be extended to all communities"
Andrea Bonifaz, project coordinator at Impacto, worries that the new law could become an exclusive tool for certain groups, such as artisanal groups that are better positioned or have previously participated in government projects. As an organization, Impacto has been following the development of the law, but Bonifaz says they have not seen the inclusion of Indigenous communities in crafting it.
"We want this benefit to be extended to all communities, for a woman who works in the mountains of Chiapas or in the mountains of Oaxaca to have access to this information and make use of it without being subjected to bureaucratic processes that also sometimes hinder more than they could help," explains Bonifaz.
There are nearly 17 million Indigenous people in Mexico, representing around 15 percent of the total population, and over 2.5 million Afro-Mexicans. At least 68 Indigenous languages, and over 350 variations of them, are spoken. That makes the context surrounding Indigenous communities in Mexico complex, to put it lightly. And at times, it has been the Mexican state that profited from the Indigenous and Afro-Mexican aesthetic repertoire — textiles, ceramics, dances, and more — through international fairs and museum exhibitions, says Ariadna Solis, art historian and PhD candidate at UNAM. The conversations and alliances that the government is seeking are with the brands and not with the communities, making the law even more hypocritical, Solis says.
"Those who have promoted all these policies and commercial interests at a global level have been alien to the communities and their interests," Solis says. It's a problem that's been consistent over time.
"When we use these textiles, we are marked by a whole colonial history of violence"
This new law was also created outside of the communities. For Basurto, it's problematic that the government didn't fully engage with Indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities during its crafting. Instead, Mexico's culture ministry organized an Indigenous fashion fair at the Los Pinos former presidential residence in Mexico City that was criticized for being more of a public relations stunt than an attempt to listen to the communities the law was theoretically being crafted to help.
"They have wanted to support this law by making a number of forums, in fact, before the Senate approved it they created that notorious event at Los Pinos," says Basurto. "It's a way in which they are legitimizing, or want to give that legitimacy. The fact that some artisans have been given the use of their voice does not mean that it has that social validity that is required."
Mexico's identity was built in part through the erasure of Indigenous languages and the appropriation of Indigenous culture, but Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples and communities remain systematically oppressed and excluded. It was only recently, in 2019, that the term "Afro-Mexican" was added to the constitution, and poverty often prevents Indigenous women from having access to the same health and well-being measures as non-Indigenous women. Thus, it's harder for women like Méndez to have the means to medically treat their back and finger pain.
Solis explains that Indigenous women, especially when wearing traditional textiles, become highly visible in cities, like Mexico City, which leads to them becoming a target of racism. It is easier, says Solís, for a white woman to wear a waisted cotton blouse "inspired" by these communities' colorful embroidery, than a heavy, expensive huipil (a traditional loose-fitting tunic worn by Indigenous women), which does not mark the female figure and is hard to wash.
"When we use these textiles, we are marked by a whole colonial history of violence," says Solis. "White women add this exotic, colorful part of their lives one day, and by taking off that garment, or even having it on, they never recognize all the degrees of violence that racialized women experience every day."

Red-eared slider one slippery pet
By Salmonella Lawyer on August 28, 2006
Lately, there are lots of baby turtles available in souvenir stores, some pet stores, on the Boardwalk and the Ocean Walk in Daytona Beach, Florida. At the flea market there, at least five vendors sell them.
The curious thing is that the turtles are illegal. Selling them is punishable, technically anyway, by up to a year in jail.
Baby turtles were popular dime-store pets in the 1950s and '60s. But they were banned by the FDA in 1975 after some 280,000 cases of salmonella sickness — largely in children — were linked to them. No turtle under 4 inches in length could be sold in the United States, except for "scientific, educational, or exhibition purposes." Stiff penalties were attached.
Salmonella exposure is easily prevented by a hand-washing regimen (or a dollop of Purell), but small kids aren't so fastidious. To make matters worse, small turtles are bite-size — and kids popped them into their mouths.
"Turtles continue to be a significant carrier of pathogenic organisms, particularly affecting small children," the FDA declared in a May 1975 news release. "A ban of sales is the only action which will adequately protect public health."

Het onderwerp kan uiteenlopend van aard zijn van een persoonlijk onderwerp tot een vraag om aandacht voor een kwestie van wereldbelang.

As a woman, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother my choice is for peace, for life and for the respect of all lives.
At this moment, I share this message to all who can hear me, and to Brazilians in particular.
We are facing a serious scenario that challenges the inner harmony of people, both personally and socially. The beliefs and convictions, and the physical, emotional and mental stability of people are in jeopardy. We are facing threats and counter- information. In the media there is no longer any control over the truth of what is being reported. What is going on is referred to as a democratic process, but that is not what we are seeing. There is a violent power, connected with international groups' interests and greed that is creating an obscure atmosphere that is trying to manipulate our choice. Most simple people are confused, believing in false news and in false promises. They are frightened and disoriented.
At this point we are challenged to make a choice and this choice will define the future of our nation and our people, for our children and for nature. It will even influence the whole world. We need to be really aware. We cannot act under pressure or impulse. We must meditate seriously within ourselves, within the inner temple of our hearts. Do we want weapons? Do we want torture? Do we want inequality? Will we condone racial persecution? Or do we want peace and freedom? Is it possible that guns, torture and brutality can serve to bring us peace? I think history has already proved to us that the answer is NO. The more weapons, the more suffering, the more hate, the more revenge, the greater the consequences for everyone. Why should we believe in the illusion that a weapon gives us power when we can believe in the power of love of a brother and sisterhood?
Whatever spiritual path we choose to follow, we learn that we are all in the likeness of the same Creator. That the light that shines in me also shines in every being of Creation. When this light is given the opportunity to shine in each one, it is then that we will know freedom.
Freedom teaches us the responsibility of our choice. If we are free and we choose evil, we will reap the fruit of this action. If we choose weapons, one day we will be hit by them. If we choose the destruction of the Amazon, we will be responsible for the drought all over the planet, not to mention the extinction of thousands of animal lives and plant species that hold great medicinal power. If we choose to withdraw the right of the indigenous peoples to their lands we will be annihilating the guardians of life and the natural richness of our planet; even more, we will be diminishing our roots and our ancestry.
question is, do we choose peace or violence? In this moment we are being confronted with such a choice. Such is the gravity of our situation. If we choose to be neutral we are deceiving ourselves. Neutrality here is an illusion. The one who thinks he is being neutral is also responsible for the result of the collective choice. This choice seems political, but it is not. A deeper and more decisive choice is at hand. Are we going to choose to be human or are we going to negate our humanness? If we are human, we need to embrace our diversity, those who are most alike and those who are different. Everyone has the same right. Therefore, if our choice affects the rights and freedom of the other, our rights and freedom will also be affected.
Time now puts us before a great opportunity to develop and grow our consciousness. We must act with awareness. Not react. Do not act on impulse or by pressure.
My awareness as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, teaches me to act with love. With love and respect. We are all different, yet in all of us there is a longing for good, a longing for peace. Sometimes the disappointments that we go through in life create calluses in our feelings, and that may create reactive behaviors. We become rigid and disconnected from the original longing of our heart. But if we are calm, and if we learn to deepen the yearning for the child that dwells in each of us, surely we will find the choice for peace, happiness, freedom and respect for the beauty of nature and all of life.
I invite all of you to unite now around this great alliance for good, for brother and sisterhood, for respect for our lives, with all their differences, and be a pillar and instrument for love.

The ZSi-Foster Silva-Guard finish provides one of the highest levels of corrosion resistance for spring steel fasteners available on the market. ZSi-Foster Silva-Guard coating is extremely consistent providing a finish that combines superior appearance and outstanding protection.
This aesthetically pleasing appearance is particularly important for installations in highly visible areas, such as open ceilings.
The ZSi-Foster Silva-Guard finish is a three step coating system that is RoHS, WEEE, and ELV compliant.
The first step is surface preparation involving a process designed to improve the coating adhesion.
The second step is a base coat designed to self-heal from nicks and scratches as well as sacrifice itself instead of the fastener base material.
The third step is a topcoat designed to be an additional protective barrier.

SFPD Issues Statement On Lost iPhone 5 Mystery, Now Says They Aided Apple In Investigation
San Francisco police say four police officers accompanied representatives from Apple Inc. to contact a Bernal Heights resident regarding a lost item, which has widely been reported to be an iPhone prototype.
Officers from the Ingleside district accompanied the Apple employees to a home on the 500 block of Anderson Street after Apple contacted police for help, Lt. Troy Dangerfield said.
The Apple employees then contacted the resident at the home and went inside to search for the lost item, Dangerfield said. When they did not find the item, they left the house.
San Francisco police issued a statement on the search after a report from SF Weekly indicated that the man whose home was searched had been led to believe he was dealing with the police. Police initially said there was no record of the incident, but then determined that some officers had in fact assisted in the search.
The statement from police did not indicate when the search occurred. Dangerfield said he did not know if the police and Apple employees had clearly identified themselves but had no information indicating they did not.
Dangerfield declined to answer any further questions on the incident.
Calls to Apple seeking comment were not returned.

Original Plate n°77 from "les Maîtres de l'Affiche" finely printed in lithography in 1897. The plates of "les Maitres de l'Affiche" were printed between 1896 to 1900 under the artistic direction of Jules Chéret himself. During the height of the 1890's poster collecting, the poster transcended its original advertising function: it became a piece of art sold through art galleries and avidly sought by collectors. The large size and the rarity created problems for collectors which we are still trying to solve. One attempt to deal with this problem at the end of the nineteen century resulted in the publication of "Les Maîtres de l'Affiche". This Monthly publication, available by subscription, provided small format versions of the best of the poster being published. They all have the editor and the plate number printed in the left bottom corner and a dry stamp showing a lithographer at work in the right corner.Today they remain highly collectible examples of the finest of 1890's poster Art .
