Q: How to update a shell namespace extension without explorer restart? I have a shell namespace extension, using a file system folder as its junction point (by creating a desktop.ini file with my extension's CLSID in the folder).
When upgrading to a new version of the extension, I would like to avoid restarting all processes that have the extension loaded (which is the suggested answer in How to unload C++ Shell Extension DLL properly), to provide a better user experience.
I've tried:

*

*SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, NULL, NULL)

*SHFlushSFCache, which was suggested in Reload a namespace extension in explorer.exe that failed to load previously

*SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings with FCS_FORCEWRITE, as suggested in http://microsoft.public.platformsdk.shell.narkive.com/6r9JXG8r/explorer-in-vista-does-not-react-to-a-change-of-clsid-in-desktop-ini
None of the above succeed in forcing explorer to load the new version of the extension.
I also tried registering a completely new CLSID for the new version of the extension and removing the registration for the old one. This mostly works, except when opening any previously existing shortcuts pointing to the folder. In that case, neither the old nor new extension are loaded, and the default shell folder is used to display the folder. I again tried SHChangeNotify, SHFlushSFCache, and SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings, and none of them fixed this issue with shortcuts.
I tested this on Windows 7 and Windows 10 Fall Creators.

Fitting juniors is extremely important for the development of a proper fundamental swing. Most of the time junior golfers are given cut down clubs that are not correct for them. This leads to them developing compensations in order to hit the ball as straight and far as they can. These compensating moves will very quickly become the blue print for their swing, which in some cases will last a life time. Conversely if a young junior is fitted with the proper length, lie, shaft flex, weight and grip size they will be much more likely to develop solid fundamentals. A set of clubs that is fit for them will also compliment any instruction that they are receiving instead of undermining it. Since Junior golfers grow at such rapid rates a good club fitter can choose a set up of clubs that will allow the set to grow as the junior grows, thus maximizing the length of how long he or she can use them before needing a new set.
US Kids Golf Clubs are sized to a proportionate length relative to each 3 inches of a player's height.
Grips- Size and weight are progressively balanced in 9 sizes.
Shafts- Shaft stiffness is appropriately applied for each set.
Weight- Our clubs are 5%-30% lighter than adult clubs, depending on the selected set.
Skill Specific- Ultralight clubs are for beginner to intermediate players and the Tour Series is for intermediate to advanced players.


Broadly, this thesis is an examination of the conservation movement and the Tennessee Valley Authority from the Progressive Era through the New Deal. The creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1933 had been premised upon earlier efforts to capture the river's power and harness it to meet social needs. Harnessing hydroelectricity to remedy social and economic conditions in the South required both environmental engineering techniques and social engineering methods. By placing women at the center of the story, both in terms of their activism in bringing a conservation plan in the Tennessee River Valley into fruition, and in terms of the gendered implications of the Tennessee Valley Authority's power policy, this thesis seeks to reexamine the invisible role that the construction of power politics had on the South, and the nation as a whole.

Investing - where do I begin?
Before you make your decision on which property to buy assess whether the investment will be easy to rent and popular among buyers when you decide to resell. It is also important to take into consideration not only the stamp duty and settlement agent fees but also rates, levies, management fees and ongoing maintenance. The numbers need to add up for your investment to work for you. Our Department Manager of Property Management, Charmaine Snow said "we are still leasing approximately 40 properties a month. If a property is presented well, in a good area and priced correctly there is no reason it should sit vacant." If you would like to find out if a property would appeal to the rental market contact Charmaine by clicking here.
Lastly we strongly suggest you consider the age of the property and whether it might be due for some significant maintenance. When doing your calculations ensure you remember landlord protection insurance, air conditioner maintenance and property improvements to keep attracting a quality tenant.
If you would like to know more about how to begin your investment journey you can contact our team by Phone (08) 9192 2000 or register your details here.

Given the now periodic headlines that instill disgust and anger, ignoring the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is not an option.
The recent video released Oct. 4 (Oct. 3 in the US) shows captive Alan Henning, wearing Guantanamo-esque orange clothes. The British aid worker is kneeled beside the same reported executor, "Jihadi John," from previous taped executions. After damning British airstrikes authorized by Prime Minister David Cameron, from a script, Henning's life was snuffed out by the terrorist's knife.
In following the videos of murdered American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and Scottish aid worker, David Haines, Henning's video ends with the threat to kill another captured American, Peter Edward Kassig. Unknown to the west, the next video will surely come as abruptly as the others.
These videos did arrive prior to Henning's murder, surely but abruptly, in a propagandic farce on ISIS's behalf with British captive John Cantlie. A similar video with Cantlie, who still lives, was released a week later.
In the same week, a wannabe ISIS group in Algeria, Jund al-Khilafah, beheaded kidnapped French tourist, Hervé Gourdel. Gourdel read from a script condemning French President, Francois Hollande's, support of the coalition against ISIS.
It has come to my mind, after watching the full uncensored videos of Foley and Sotloff's executions, that the scums from ISIS have played around with a fundamental American idea. Fully aware of how much weird stuff is posted onto the Internet on a daily basis, the presumption on ISIS's side may be that it does not shock us.
Just think of all the film scenes and game cutscenes showing beheadings. Such scenes have desensitized us, and this stems from our right of free speech. Severed heads, gunshot wounds and dead bodies on screens are a usual thing. Obviously, this is real.
Here we have an ideologically perverse group of fascists attempting to bastardize our foremost freedom. We can condemn them for their sick actions. Then, further condemn them for what appears to be a sick joke of, what is to them, an alien concept.
I will always defend and support the pen of free speech, but I cannot appreciate anyone who makes a mockery of it. Especially from those who want a world of no free inquiry, no curiosity and no equality. This has made ISIS into a cruel hypocrisy.
I have explained before why I support President Obama's airstrikes on ISIS strongholds across Iraq. I also support what Britain and France's actions, given the videos that were direct threats to them. The strikes in Syria may prove useful in toppling ISIS's leadership, but it could be too late, if they have already evacuated the country.
Generally Obama's Syria policy, to quote journalist Nicholas Kristof, "has been a mess". Going after Syria now just resembles a marathon runner who left the track and is still running.
Even that is unclear at this point. The War on Terror is not over, like it or not. But we should not send men and women in uniform back to Iraq. I would not be surprised if a covert ops mission was in progress right now to kill ISIS leaders and bring home the surviving captives.
But this talk is ineffectual. The "appetite" for boots on the ground exists, as blogger Paul Waldman pointed out. Readings and testimonies (a la Gen. Martin Dempsey and the potential of ground troops arriving in Iraq) are affecting my support for this apparent war effort. We simply cannot afford, by cost of lives and money, to go back to Iraq and redo the previous quagmire started by George W. Bush.
Even with the president's repeated addresses of no ground troops, "I can't get no relief," to quote musician Bob Dylan (or Jimi Hendrix).
The left will send out (justifiable) cries of imperialism and American superiority. The right will just say Obama has not done enough. Action must be made. Diplomacy these days seems to never bear any cordiality.
Although arming the Syrian rebels may seem to be a proper cause to an observably abused people, thievery and deception persists. Arming the Syrian rebels will be, yet again, another reason why America loves to repeat history. We armed Afghanistan's mujahideen in the 1980s so they could fight the Soviets. Years later, those same people followed the deluded path of bin Laden and began their holy war against the U.S.
Calculated measures must be made. This is not the Bush years. This is not the Reagan years.
The president cannot betray the trust of the American people by sending soldiers back to that failed state. If the airstrikes have been successful and continue to be successful, let them go on.
Let us not forget the videos that have been released are acts of terror. Being tech savvy has enhanced ISIS's global reach. The Internet is a child of the right of free speech. Anyone and everyone literally has it at their fingertips to express their opinion and their voice.
My argument is not meant to say people of a twisted mind must legally be exempt from the Internet. The condemnation is when people use it for their sick pleasure.
Videos that exhibit acts of animal abuse or these beheadings only reveal one thing: There are still many people in this world who have sick delusions of authority. These people can only exert their power through violent behavior.
ISIS is a different strain of the same pretentious illness. They do this, simply, to instill fear and blind militaristic reaction. A point ISIS wants made: the United States is the source of their existence. They want our leaders to fall back down the path of eternal war.
For a period of time, I looked forward to the Obama administration's global focus shifting to Asia. ISIS has pulled us back to Iraq, but for distinct reasons. Bush 41 and Bush 43's mistakes in Iraq were more vendettas than conflicts.
While I am a fan of this quote, I guarantee President Obama has been thinking this for months now.
In defending ourselves and defending our ideas, ISIS must go. They are not indestructible fighting men. Their militant, cult followers are not men of God or revolutionaries.
ISIS can use our freedoms for their "gains." Simultaneously, I can use those freedoms to censure their gross acts and not accept their invitation to live in fear.
deluded path of bin Laden and began their holy war against the U.S.
Most ridiculous statement ever, aside from the flip-floppiness on foreign policy. There was a recent suicide bombing from our "allies" in the Kurds, bombing a recent ISIS checkpoint, yea that's who'll run Syria and Iraq….good luck with that in continuing the legacies of the Bushes and even Reagan which would make Obama look worse.

Looter's Follies never sounded so good: Destroyer live in London
Words: Ryan Grieve / 02 November 2015, 15:49 GMT
I will preface this piece with the confession that I have never had the pleasure of catching a Destroyer show.
For a decade now, I have considered myself a fan. I have listened to the albums, picked my favourite (1998's City of Daughters), argued with friends that Streethawk is the quintessential offering when introducing someone to the group, and second-guessed that my favourite album is, in fact, Thief. Never have I had the opportunity to see an incarnation of Destroyer live before the show at the Islington Assembly Hall last Friday (30th October).
While waiting for Destroyer to take to the stage, I pondered how a band with a diverse back catalog such as theirs would reconcile the multitude of sounds found on the preceding nine studio albums with their latest offering, Poison Season. I was curious as to how Bejar's, at time rambling, poetic approach would translate in a live setting. Most selfishly, I was anxious to see if they would play selections preceding the Merge signing (they did not and it did not matter). For the next hour, Dan Bejar, seemingly unable to lock eyes with a single person in the room, fastidiously waxed poetic while the seven-piece band provided more energy than has ever translated in Destroyer's recorded form.
Opening with Poison Season's "Bangkok", Bejar immediately demonstrated how captivating a front man he can be using the most simplistic of approaches. Planted to the ground, resting on a cane, he meekly delivered the opening verse with hardly a sway or an opening of his eyes. As the piano picked up and the interlude came to the forefront, he modestly crouched down next to his microphone stand, raised hip-level, like a sort of refuge for a man interested in only delivering his lines, nothing more. This gesture, charming and devoid of ostentation, would become Bejar's modus operandi throughout the set, only breaking form for the last song, "Dream Lover". As the song came to a close, Bejar gestured a blessing to the crowd with a Maraca as the band played underneath a sign hanging in Assembly Hall reading "Deus Per Omnia".
Though Poison Season was represented by just over half the set, it was quite interesting to see numbers like "Kaputt" and "Chinatown" complimented by acoustic instrumentation and a more present horn section. "Kaputt" turned in to a dense, intertwining, swell of melody overtop the airtight rhythm section. The dynamics of the group all night were executed with extreme precision with the quietest moments feeling as though the sound of your breathing may interrupt the performance.
When the band hit higher energy, as it did at the end of the two offerings from Rubies, "European Oils" and "Looter's Follies", the Assembly Hall was treated to a rush of intricate sweeping jams whereby it seemed like every member on stage was simultaneously soloing, making me wonder why the somewhat reticent crowd wasn't close to rushing the stage, or at least responding with more than claps and a few disjointed whoops.
Though the back up vocals were hard to hear throughout the set, they became prevalent during the encore of "Girl In a Sling" and an incredibly animated rendition of "Rubies", involving a nice back and forth between a very busy drummer and a piano locked in to a groove to take Destroyer out. Destroyer seemed to fall somewhere between rock and symphony, with the entire act cohesively bound by Bejar's poetic direction.
Ryan Grieve is the drummer in Fist City, whose Everything Is A Mess LP came out on Transgressive this year. They don't really sound anything like Destroyer.

November 22, 2016 One Guys Opinion
Isabelle Huppert is an actress who has never shunned risk, and in Paul Verhoeven's "Elle" she dares us to sympathize with her character, Michele Leblanc, for even an instant, despite the fact that the film begins with a sequence that shows her being raped by a masked intruder as her cat—and the rest of us—watch intently. After the man leaves Michele's coolly elegant sitting room, she cleans up the broken bric-a-brac from the floor, tosses out her soiled dress and, in a shot with a scarlet accent, bathes. She will then have herself checked for STDs, hire a man to change the locks, and then go off to dinner with her ex-husband Richard (Charles Berling), her best friend and business partner Anna (Anne Consigny) and the latter's husband Robert (Christian Berkel), matter-of-factly informing them of what had happened before suggesting that they order their entrees.
One might think that Michele is suffering trauma, but her icily pragmatic demeanor is simply who she is. An erstwhile publisher, she's the co-founder (with Anna) of a company specializing in super-violent video games, and she treats the staff—particularly smarmy photographer Kurt (Lucas Prisor)—with such smug disdain that they respond by posting nastily doctored clips from their work, with her face superimposed on the abused victim, online. (She'll respond by assigning Kevin, a young staffer played by Arthur Mazet who's infatuated with her, to hack into his colleagues' computer files to ferret out the perpetrator.) On the side she's having a loveless affair with Robert, a tidbit she's saving up to employ against him with his wife whenever it's useful. (Indeed, her relationship with Anna is a particularly complex one, as the film's coda will reveal.)
Other aspects of Michele's life disclose more of her cynical, controlling character. She's supportive of her son Vincent (Jonas Bloquet)—a young man with a troubled past—for example, but contemptuous of his pregnant girlfriend Josie (Alice Isaaz), whom she sees as a manipulative predator (too much like herself, perhaps). She's friendly toward Rebecca (Virginie Efira), the pious young woman who lives across the way, but happily aims to seduce her husband Patrick (Laurent Lafitte). And her own childhood was marred forever by her father, a notorious mass murderer in whose grisly crime she was, at least in the public mind, implicated. That explains, in part, her venomous relationship with her mother Irene (Judith Magre), whose dalliance with a young hanger-on (Raphael Lenglet) she dismisses as absurd.
"Elle" is Verhoeven's first feature after a ten-year hiatus, and he and Huppert obviously relish the intricacies of the lurid plot hatched by novelist Phillip Djian (originally titled "Oh…") and adapted with finesse by David Birke. Ultimately it's a revenge tale—Michele is not the sort of person who will suffer victimization without reprisal, and by the close of the picture she has dealt with everyone that has done her wrong. But the means by which she secures her ends are twisty, and the whole film is shot through with humor of a most mordant sort; you laugh, but there's always a taste of bitterness that goes along with it as you feel yourself becoming as merciless as Michele herself. To be sure, there is some slight mitigation of tone at the end, not only in scenes that draw attention to female camaraderie even in the face of Michele's manipulations but in the positive effect her schemes have had on her relationship with both her son and Josie, despite the revelation that the baby cannot be Vincent's in a hospital sequence that cannily undercuts the sentimentality such giving-birth scenes always take on even in supposedly gnarly movies.
Presiding over it all, like a stern goddess, is Huppert, a model of hauteur who never condescends to apologize for even the most horrendous acts. Whether nonchalantly backing into her milquetoast ex-husband's car (and then denying responsibility) or situating a strategically-placed toothpick in a canapé intended for his new girlfriend, whether snorting over her mother's plans to remarry or tossing the elderly woman's lover out on the street, whether seducing a man before his wife's eyes or humiliating him sexually, the actress conveys the character's combination of calculation, lust, and ingrained bitterness with gestures as modest as the flick of an eyebrow or a slight hint of smile. This is a woman of supreme self-confidence about bending everyone to her will, even when she seems to be defenseless. The rest of the cast do what the script demands with gusto, but all of their characters are ultimately pawns in the games Michele plays, often as a snippet of Mozart plays in the background, and Huppert makes that absolutely clear.
"Elle" is obviously a game itself, one in which Verhoeven, making a stunning comeback, and Huppert toy with the audience like expert puppeteers. Their work is abetted by Stephane Fontaine's luscious camerawork, Laurent Ott's elegant production design, and Anne Dudley's sensually suspenseful score. The result is an intoxicating blend of sex, mystery, and violence about an indelible character you'll find it difficult to forget—but would probably prefer never to meet in real life.

Ship Island, MS
See our full List of Lighthouses in Mississippi
Ship Island Lighthouse
With the only deep-water harbor between Mobile Bay and the Mississippi River, Ship Island was used by early explorers as a base for further explorations along the Gulf Coast. The fact that large vessels could find anchorage there led to its name – Isle des Vasseaux or Ship Island.

Even with its fine harbor, it was still several years after the United States gained control of the region that a lighthouse was finally proposed for the island. Part of Jefferson Davis' platform during his successful campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1844 was the establishment of lighthouses and fortifications along Mississippi's coastline. In 1847, Davis was appointed to the U.S. Senate, and the following year $12,000 was allocated for a lighthouse at Ship Island.
Although funds were available in 1848, a Spanish land grant on Ship Island delayed the start of construction on the lighthouse until 1853. A forty-five-foot brick tower was completed by November of that year, and it was lit for the first time on Christmas Day by Keeper Edward Havens. The lantern room originally housed a set of eleven lamps and reflectors, but was upgraded to a fourth-order Fresnel lens in 1856. Havens served as keeper until his accidental death eighteen months later. Mary Havens succeeded her husband as keeper and served until her death sixteen months later.
After Jefferson Davis was appointed Secretary of War in 1853, he succeeded at convincing Congress and President Pierce to build a fort on Ship Island. Construction began in 1859, but due to storms and an outbreak of yellow fever, only eight feet of the outer walls were completed in two years of work. On January 13, 1861, four days after Mississippi seceded from the United States, the incomplete fort was taken over by Confederate forces, who built up the fort with timbers and sand bags.
In July 1861, Union forces aboard the USS Massachusetts approached the island. A brief exchange of cannon fire ensued, until the Massachusetts retreated. The Confederates declared the skirmish a victory, but by September of that year, they had left the island. The Fresnel lens was removed from the tower, boxed up, and taken away with them. The last remaining Confederate soldiers on the island packed the base of the tower with flammable material and set it ablaze.
A large force of Union soldiers occupied the island shortly thereafter, and work continued on the fort, which they named Fort Massachusetts after their flagship. This certainly was not the use that Jefferson Davis, now President of the Confederate States, envisioned for the fort. Restoration work soon began on the charred lighthouse. A mast from a seized Confederate schooner was used as the newel for a new circular staircase, and a captured fourth-order Fresnel lens and the old lantern room from the Bayou St. John Lighthouse, found in a Confederate warehouse on Lake Pontchartrain, were used to complete the tower. The light was reactivated on November 14, 1862 and served throughout the remainder of the Civil War.

Daniel McCall began his lighthouse career as an assistant at Ship Island in 1875. McCall had worked for a railroad in New Orleans following the Civil War and lost his right leg at the hip in a train accident. In 1877, McCall was promoted to Head Keeper and served in that capacity until 1899. With his one good leg, McCall would regularly make the trip up the circular stairway and then continue up the iron ladder into the lantern room to care for the light.
During McCall's tenure, the light's characteristic was changed from fixed white to fixed red on July 1, 1878, and in 1886 the old brick lighthouse and dwelling were condemned as unsafe. A replacement square, open-frame wooden lighthouse topped with a lantern room was built 300 feet from the brick tower, and after the lens and pedestal had been transferred from the old tower, the new light was exhibited on September 28, 1886. Three months later, the tower was enclosed, sheathed inside and weatherboarded outside. A second order oil house was added to the station in 1892.
After the original tower finally collapsed, its bricks were used in 1901 to build a small jetty between the old tower and the shore to curb erosion. In 1904, some 930 tons of rock ballast were placed along the beach to provide additional protection to the station.
On June 3, 1929, the sixty-two-foot-tall tower was struck by lightning during an electrical storm. The lighthouse was equipped with a lightning conductor, consisting of a one-and-a-half-inch-thick copper ribbon that led from the top of the tower to a cement-filled sewer pipe buried in the ground, and it is believed that this prevented extensive damage to the tower. A few weatherboards were knocked off each of the lighthouse's four sides, about midway up the tower, and two panes of plate glass in the lantern room were broken. Keeper Thomas Clarisse and his wife were in the dwelling, not more than twenty feet away from the tower, and though the dwelling was not injured, its occupants were greatly startled.
The lighthouse was electrified in 1930 through the installation of a kerosene electric generator and a storage battery. The Coast Guard employed keepers at the lighthouse until 1949, when the station was automated and the keeper's dwelling was dismantled and moved to Biloxi. In March 1957, the tower's light was relocated to the Gulfport Channel Outer Range Rear Light.

In 1959, a special-use permit for the lighthouse was granted by the Coast Guard to Philip M. Duvic "for private use and general recreational purposes." In the following years, Duvic converted the bottom floor of the lighthouses into a kitchen and bathroom, the second floor into a sleeping area for women, the third floor into a men's dormitory, and the top floor into a honeymoon suite. The Coast Guard put the lighthouses up for sale in 1965 with the stipulation that the owner must remove the lighthouse from the island within ninety days of receiving ownership. Duvic was the sole bidder, and for $250 the lighthouse was officially his. For some reason, Duvic was not required to remove the lighthouse from the island.
On August 17, 1969, devastating Hurricane Camille struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast. With winds in excess of 200 miles per hour, Camille cut the island in two, creating West and East Ship Island. The hurricane damaged the lighthouse, and Duvic, whose mainland home was lost in the hurricane, decided not to repair the structure. A modern steel skeleton tower was built next to the wooden tower in 1971.
In June 1972, two young campers lit a campfire near the lighthouse to cook their dinner. High winds spread the fire to the lighthouse, which quickly erupted in a volcano of flames. The lighthouse, which was in the process of being transferred to the National Park Service as part of the new Gulf Island National Seashore, was a total loss.
A group of citizens, known as Friends of Gulf Islands National Seashore, was formed in 1998, and one of their first projects was to rebuild the lighthouse. The U.S. Forest Service provided the massive sixty-four-foot-long and twelve-inch-wide corner beams, along with other lumber needed for the project. In February 1999, the U.S. Navy SeaBees built the framework for the replica lighthouse on a pier in Gulfport, then barged it to the island and over the next several months completed the tower on the foundation of the 1886 lighthouse. A Coast Guard helicopter lifted a lantern room on the seventy-two-foot-tall replica in February 2000. The lighthouse replica stood until 2005, when Hurricane Katrina destroyed the tower along with a few other historic lighthouses of the Gulf Coast.
Today, Ship Island can easily be visited via ferry from Gulfport. The fourth-order Fresnel lens used in Ship Island Lighthouse was given to Biloxi in 1958 and eventually placed on display at the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum. The museum was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as was the lens. All the pieces of the lens were recovered, crated up, and shipped to St. Augustine Lighthouse, where the lens was repaired. The lens was returned to the museum in April 2010.
In 2011, a replica of Ship Island Lighthouse was built at Gulfport Marina by Simpkins & Costelli, Inc.

I highly recommend a stop at the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum in Biloxi to see the fourth-order Fresnel lens from the Ship Island Lighthouse. The museum has a small theater where you can watch a video on Hurricane Camille, said to be the worst storm to strike the U.S. mainland. The video was very interesting and told of a group that held a hurricane party as the storm approached. A rescue worker advised them to evacuate, and when they insisted on remaining, he asked for contact information for their next of kin. The information was unfortunately needed, as several of the partying crowd perished in the storm. Amazingly, from what I have gathered, the Biloxi Lighthouse survived the storm quite well. The museum also has several other interesting displays including an automatic shrimp peeler.


The verification of analytical performance through a blind cross-check program is an integral part of an effective quality- assurance program; and is recommended by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and ANSI N42.23 -1996 American National Standard Measurement and Associated Instrument Quality Assurance for Radioassay Laboratories.
Two distinct-inter-laboratory cross-check programs are offered by Analytics. The Inter-laboratory Cross-Check Program for Nuclear Power Plant laboratories provides blind samples that simulate routine effluent samples. The Inter-laboratory Cross-Check Program for Environmental Measurements laboratories provides blind samples at environmental levels in water, milk, soil, simulated vegetation, air filters and charcoal cartridges. Each program provides quarterly, blind samples at concentrations that permit an evaluation of your analytical accuracy. The concentration of radionuclide covers a range that allows for reasonable counting statistics.
Samples can be used for the training and testing of personnel and procedures.
Interferences and activity levels can be varied to better test procedures and equipment.
Analytics' samples are carefully prepared from calibrated standards and shipped in stable forms, therefore the samples' activities are more accurately known.
Traceability is maintained through Analytics' participation in measurement assurance programs with NIST/NEI.
Training, procedure testing and measurements assurance are all areas that benefit from Analytics' Inter-laboratory Cross-Check Programs. Please see as well our technical presentation.


At school, and in most language schools, learning a language is primarily studying its grammar. Can we allow this premise? And if grammar seems vital to you, which type do you need, the type that would allow you to learn a foreign language very quickly?
This would be like a musician writing his score before hearing the music that he is creating! He first receives or constructs a melody in his head, then, although this is not a must, he rewrites it in the form of signs, musical notes. It is not done the other way round. We all know people who can write music without being able to write a single note, who 'play by ear', not to mention jazz musicians or African drummers.
The same goes for languages. We express ourselves in our mother tongue without thinking about grammatical rules. There are many of us who do not even know the grammar of our own language. Wanting to first learn the notes in music or the grammar in a language is putting the cart before the horse.
Can you not learn a language without knowing its grammar? How did you learn your mother tongue? Without grammar.
You learned the grammatical rules at school when you could already speak. Grammar in class is a little similar to Pure Mathematics at school. Grammatical analysis is like solving maths problems and conjugations are like mental arithmetic.
Mastering grammatical rules helps us to write better, not to speak better. On the contrary, having to follow rules removes all that is natural and delays assimilation. To speak fluently and naturally, one must never rely on grammar.
We often forget that grammatical rules, like musical rules, were written down afterwards and they had one aim: explaining the communication rather than facilitating it. Furthermore, as with music, they are not really the norms, and often include numerous exceptions. Music scores and grammar are buoys. It is best to learn to swim without depending on them.
Spending time learning grammar gives us a feeling of security. If the rules describe the usage that you already master, you will be comforted. If they deal with usages that you do not know, put them in sentences that are meaningful to you. By repeating these sentences, you will naturally assimilate these rules. It is only on this condition that grammar will not be crippling and will not alter your expression.
If, nevertheless, you are tempted by grammatical adventures, in order to save precious time, choose a type of grammar that is close enough to your mother tongue and start with the structures that you already know. At DialoguE, if you wish to improve your knowledge of grammar, your teacher will help you efficiently in this process. You will have the pleasure of discovering a fully personalised and practical grammar that will meet your needs.
While traditional grammar is hardly useful for speaking, and while music theory does not help us to create music, there are other types of 'grammar'. To write music, you can manage without the score sheet, but you cannot manage without rhythm, melody or harmony. The same applies to languages. It is that type of 'grammar' that is vital. If you keep to the rhythm, stress and harmonic rules of your mother tongue, and if you do not let go of its melody to replace it with the highs and the frequencies of the language that you are learning, the people you are speaking to will find it hard to understand you, if at all.
In a foreign language, without this type of 'grammar', the richness of your vocabulary and the perfection of your grammatical structures will be of little use to you. A DialoguE trainer 'knows the music'. In one week, you will pick up or perfect the appropriate way of speaking the language that you are learning. In one week, you will learn or master these musical elements that will enable you to be understood by native speakers and to understand them. How? By repeating sentences that will allow you to naturally assimilate the grammatical structures that are useful at your level. Isn't learning the grammar without being aware of it a bit of a dream?


BELLEVILLE – Graphic design students from Loyalist College are putting their work on display from Tuesday through Thursday at the Graphic Design Student Exhibition.
It's an opportunity for graduating students to show off what they have done over the past three years. Their work includes branding campaigns, motion graphics, environmental graphics, illustrations and websites.
QNet News spoke with with Charlsie Morrow, one of the students exhibiting her work, about the exhibition.
The event allows for people walking by to come and see the type of work that graphic design students do, she said.
The goal of the show's theme, Design Freaks, was to draw people in. The students wanted to make a design that seemed more mature but still catches the eye of passersby, Morrow said.
The person behind the Design Freaks idea, Ryan Whiteman, said that since the program is shutting down at the end of this school year, the exhibit is the students' last hurrah.
The students will soon be entering placements and then it's on to careers. Whiteman says he hopes to find a position with a local company, while Morrow says she wants to someday own her own graphic-design business.
The exhibit runs until 5 p.m. Thursday in the Link Lounge on campus.


Where would I have to travel in the Southern Hemisphere to enjoy Chicago's spring and summer weather year-round?
Chicago's year-round vigorous climate has no counterpart in the Southern Hemisphere as comparable geography and meteorology do not exist south of the equator. The land masses of South America, Africa and Australia lie too near the Equator to experience cold winters, and cold air sweeping north from Antarctica reaches the narrow southward extension of South America only after being moderated by transit across oceans. Southern Hemisphere cities with year-round high temperatures similar to Chicago's April to October range from the lower 50s to the middle 80s include Buenos Aires, Argentina, Santiago, Chile and Canberra, Australia.

Q: Convert DataURL (or base64) to FileList I have a bunch of DataUrl-s which I would like to convert to FileList.
According to the documentation, FileList is read-only, and such things don't/shouldn't work:
const fileList = new FileList()

So, is there a way to create FileList from DataUrl-s?
P.S. Our target is to modify the files before uploading to server.
P.P.S. Please don't suggest using File[] instead of FileList as the lib we're using doesn't accept that.

A: There is a hacky solution which seems worked fine.
Treat array of files as FileList.
Here is the code:
public dataUrlToFileList(dataUrls: string[], fileNames: string[]): FileList {
    const fileArray: File[] = [];

    for (let index = 0; index < dataUrls.length; index++) {
        const dataUrl = dataUrls[index];
        const fileName = fileNames[index];
        // Converting content to Blob
        const blobObject = this.dataUrlToBlob(dataUrl);
        // Converting Blob to file
        const file = new File([blobObject], fileName);
        fileArray.push(file);
    }

    // Converting array with file to filelist and passing to uploader
    return fileArray as unknown as FileList; // < -------------- MAGIC HAPPENS HERE
}

private dataUrlToBlob(dataUrl: string): Blob {
    // convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
    // doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs - see SO answer #6850276 for code that does this
    const byteString = atob(dataUrl.split(",")[1]);

    // separate out the mime component
    const mimeString = dataUrl.split(",")[0].split(":")[1].split(";")[0];

    // write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
    const ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);

    // create a view into the buffer
    const ia = new Uint8Array(ab);

    // set the bytes of the buffer to the correct values
    for (let i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
        ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
    }

    // write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
    const blob = new Blob([ia], { type: mimeString });
    return blob;
}

Q: Creating Login page with SQLITE I am trying to create login page with sqlite with multiple columns but unable to insert values in it :
Here is my insertion query code:
    package com.example.doctorsmanager;

            db.update("LOGIN",updatedValues, where, new String[]{userName});
        }

}
And here is the code on the signup page when user press the button to create account:
 btnCreateAccount.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

 public void onClick(View v) {

    String cellNumber=editTextCellNumber.getText().toString();
    String mailId=editTextMail.getText().toString();

    // check if any of the fields are vaccant
    if(userName.equals("")||password.equals(""))
    {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Field Vaccant", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return;
    }
    // check if both password matches
    if(!password.equals(password))
    {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Password does not match", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return;
    }
    else
    {
        // Save the Data in Database
        DataBaseAdapter.insertEntry(userName,password,qualification,specializaion,registrationNumber,cellNumber,mailId);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Account Successfully Created ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

and here is the query for main login page for successful login:
   btnLogIn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
                    // get The User name and Password
                    String userName=editTextUserName.getText().toString();
                    String password=editTextPassword.getText().toString();

                    // fetch the Password form database for respective user name
                    String storedPassword=DataBaseAdapter.getSinlgeEntry(userName);

                    // check if the Stored password matches with  Password entered by user
                    if(password.equals(storedPassword))
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Congrats: Login Successfull", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }`enter code here`
                    else
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "User Name or Password does not match", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
//                    Intent intentlogin=new Intent(getApplicationContext(),LoginSuccess.class);
//                    startActivity(intentlogin);
                    }
                });

This is my database helper class:
package com.example.doctorsmanager;

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.util.Log;

public class DataBaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
{
    public DataBaseHelper(Context context, String name,CursorFactory factory, int version)
    {
               super(context, name, factory, version);
    }
    // Called when no database exists in disk and the helper class needs
    // to create a new one.
    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase _db)
    {
            _db.execSQL(DataBaseAdapter.DATABASE_CREATE);

    }
    // Called when there is a database version mismatch meaning that the version
    // of the database on disk needs to be upgraded to the current version.
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase _db, int _oldVersion, int _newVersion)
    {
            // Log the version upgrade.
            Log.w("TaskDBAdapter", "Upgrading from version " +_oldVersion + " to " +_newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");

            // Upgrade the existing database to conform to the new version. Multiple
            // previous versions can be handled by comparing _oldVersion and _newVersion
            // values.
            // The simplest case is to drop the old table and create a new one.
            _db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + "TEMPLATE");
            // Create a new one.
            onCreate(_db);
    }

}

A: You are creating the database multiple times. Move the database creation to SQLiteOpenHelper class and just create an instance of it in an activity you want to use it in.

A: In this You have Made Mistake that You have altered the table column so that Database version you have changed 1 to 2.The thing you have to do is in SQLiteOpenHelper class file  in that use the code given below like that
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase _db, int _oldVersion, int _newVersion)
{
        Log.w("TaskDBAdapter", "Upgrading from version " +_oldVersion + " to " +_newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");

        _db.execSQL("ALTER TABLE login ADD COLUMN EMAIL varchar(16)");

        onCreate(_db);
}

In tha Alter Table Query the Email is the Column Newly added ,Use sqlite manager to make the database View

On July 29, 2007, K-Designers began installing our new vinyl siding. We were quite impressed with the speed at which the siding was put on. Approximately two days is all it took; we expected it to take a couple weeks. They had to special order our garage doors due to their unique size, so they were installed on August 17, 2007. They look great!!!!!!! They don't leak or have holes like the old ones. We have had nothing but positive comments from the neighbors and people from across town. Some of the previous owners of this house have come by to see it. They have all been impressed with the transformation from the old worn out look to the new colorful one. It does seem as though the air conditioning hasn't been running as much but we'll have to wait to see how this affects the utilities. We think we'll see a drastic change. The neighbors across the street even came over and inquired about having their house done when the siding crew was here. I have put them on my referral list so that they can be contacted by a representative of K-Designers. Overall, we think the house looks great. We have plans to have windows done at a later date. K-Designers has done an excellent job marketing their products and installing them in a timely fashion. They have been an excellent company to do business with and we look forward to doing business with them in the future. We hope you choose to use them too; you'll be very satisfied.

Students swing into 50th day of school
Samantha BealEagle Staff Writer
Emma Eriksen, a second grader in Katie Haney's Mars Area Elementary School class, dressed up Tuesday to celebrate the 50th day of school. Second graders spent the day learning about the 1950s and doing activities around the number 50.
Celebrating major milestones — like the first day of kindergarten and high school graduation — makes lasting memories.
But sometimes it's the small celebrations that make a big difference.
That why Mars Area School District second graders celebrated the 50th day of school Tuesday.
"We need all of the 'pick me ups' we can get this year," said Jennifer Renner, a second-grade teacher at Mars Area Elementary School.
Students celebrated the 50th day of school by wearing 1950s costumes, learning 1950s activities and having lessons focused on the number 50.
The event was new this year, according to Renner. She said fellow second-grade teacher Angela Wagner came up with the idea.
"Mrs. Wagner has always wanted to do this with her class and never had in the past," Renner said.

Prontezza di spirito è un racconto popolare appartenente alla cultura Hausa,  diffusa nell'Africa occidentale e che ha una significativa presenza in nazioni come la Nigeria, il Sudan, il Camerun, il Ghana, la Costa d'Avorio e il Ciad.

Genere letterario
Il racconto è catalogabile nell'ambito dei racconti-dilemma, ossia di quelli incentrati sull'aspetto morale della vita, dell'uomo e delle sue azioni, raccontati con il preciso scopo di indurre un dibattito su particolari tematiche, quali la famiglia e la vita comunitaria.

In questo tipo di racconti, talvolta, non è prevista né una soluzione al problema né tanto meno risposte e per questo motivo sono anche chiamati indovinelli ed enigmi, perché è considerato prioritario il dibattito innescato dal racconto, che peraltro risulta tutt'altro che infruttuoso e sterile, dato che, generalmente, vige la figura di un moderatore svolta da un anziano saggio che cerca di riassumere le varie opinioni usando una buona dose di eloquenza.

Trama
Il racconto narra le vicende di due giovani corteggiatori, entrambi muniti di due giavellotti, che mentre stanno facendo la corte alla ragazza dei loro sogni, vengono aggrediti da un leone.
Entrambi lanciano vanamente gli attrezzi contro l'animale e uno dei due consiglia all'altro di andare a casa sua e rifornirsi di nuovi giavellotti. Nel frattempo il giovane rimasto sul posto con un abile e coraggiosa mossa, taglia la gola al leone.
Quando riappare l'altro, non si accorge immediatamente che il leone è già morto, e gli salta addosso per finirlo.

Il dilemma posto riguarda la prontezza di spirito: a quale dei due giovani spetterebbe questo premio?
