In our Leigh's Lost and Found report, we're featuring what animal control calls a Heinz 57 dog.
Basically, that means they don't really know what breed the dog is. But this is their shelter coordinator's best guess.
"We're guessing she's some kind of mix. Hound, Pointer, maybe Beagle and Terrier mixed in there as well. She's cute, we do know that for sure. She's brindle and white but she's got some weird patterns of white through her."
Josh Doss says the female dog was found on February first, running loose in the 3200 block of west Lynn.
She's about two to three years old and appears to be in heat, which is likely the reason she got loose.
She looks on the thin side, but Josh says she's just compact and muscular and she's in good condition.
If you recognize this dog or if you've lost a pet, be sure to call animal control at 417-833-3592. You can also visit their website to fill out an online lost pet form.
Another great resource is the Leigh's Lost and Found facebook page. Anyone can post a lost or found animal on there so be sure to like the page and share it with your friends.


We shamefully haven't been to the beautiful Biscuit Factory's own restaurant since it was under David Kennedy's hand in one of its former guises – I can't recall whether that was the naff-named NE2 Food Social, or David Kennedy at the Biscuit Factory (among others!). It's now simply Artisan (The Biscuit Factory, Stoddart Street, NE2 1AN). It was gorgeous then, and though David has since left, his protege Andrew Wilkinson is a safe pair of hands, former NECTA chef of the year, and now runs the kitchen.
We had the £50 February tasting menu for Kate's birthday this year, which is great value. I'd wanted the November edition, which featured chef's signature game pithivier, Northumbrian venison and other goodies, but rhubarb, lamb, and blood orange would just have to do . Tough life choices, eh?
For anyone who hasn't been to the Biscuit Factory in general, get yourself along. It's the UK's largest indie art gallery, and very easy to stroll an hour away trying not to drop £1000 on one of the hundreds of pieces on display. The attached cafe is pretty good too, if you don't want a full-on meal.
There's a la carte, and some excellent value daily specials (like 2 fish mains & btl. wine for £35) as well as the big 'ol tasting menu. To get the ball rolling, a sticky marmalade-like blood orange bellini is a good start to any meal. We'd had a good couple of bottles of wine already, so arrived fairly merry.
As ever, take to chef's instagram for the real insight – where I've seen mini baguettes, focaccia and all manner of lush-looking breads being baked in the Artisan kitchen. So a couple of slices of sourdough – deliciously crunchy and tangy though they were, wasn't quite as exciting.
Its leek & potato veloute though, is as sumptuously rich as you'd expect, with big salty and smokey flavours from a nugget of smoked eel at the bottom, and a velvety salt cod croquette. Delish.
With 'tasting menu' popularity apparently on the decline – see Bibendum, Midsummer House, Aiden Bryne's new gaff etc. all calling time on them, I'm sure a happy medium will emerge between those oft-ridiculous 27-course bites of overly complex skill, and a solid three hearty courses. This menu has 7/8 courses, and two of them are hefty 'main course sized'. I much prefer this approach, with some little treats here and there to keep you excited.
This wild brill with mussels, wild garlic tempura, and a potato terrine was fairly straightforward but almost perfectly executed. Brill, a totally underappreciated fish for me was cooked spot on, and while a chive/cream sauce is a fairly classic addition, the dish as a whole is still better than 95% of fish dishes you'll see in Newcastle. Chef just doesn't mess around, so you'll much more likely see a solid meat and two veg done simply but bang on than any smears, foams, or wanky 'air of kombucha-glazed micro-herbs'. That stuff has its place, but scran like this speaks right to me.
An ox tongue nibble had a beautifully fleshy texture & worked great with beetroot. I'm making a plea for somewhere – Bridge Tavern or Broad Chare – to put these on their bar snacks menu… bit of mustard mayo or something for dipping. Lovely, gutsy stuff.
Main course proper of lamb rump was a perfect 'dinner' though that's underselling it. It would have been very easy for the management to force a 'fine art' vibe onto the food, but thankfully it's restrained with just enough going on to make every bite a delight. The wonderfully named 'scrumpet' of the lamb shoulder like a rich and crunchy lamb kebab, and you can't really go wrong with knobbly and nutty pink fir potatoes, smooth shallot puree, and mint. Want it all over again.
I'd normally grunt at something twice on the menu, but given that ruby sweet blood orange only stays with us for such a fleeting few weeks, it's no crime to make the most of it. Its tang/jammy sweetness makes an ideal sorbet, and as expected works great with yoghurt and meringue in a not too sweet palate cleanser.
Rhubarb and custard is still our personal king of puds and this take on it rocked. Bit of a trifle vibe, with some welcome crunch from candied pistachios, and forced rhubarb doughnuts on the side. These had just a dab of the pink fruit inside but you can imagine them dunked in that super delicate cream. Glorious Monbazillac pairing too 👌🏻 Service was faultless throughout.
In what must be a world first, we were defeated by a meal and boxed up some of the cheese board. I know, right. Pickled celery, walnut & raisin bread, and presumably Peter's Yard crisp breads as excellent supporting cast to a goat, blue and cheddar. Corker of a ruby Port as well, and while there's no dedicated sommelier at Artisan, the tasting wine matching runs to 7 glasses here and ranged from the OK house white to the loveliest fortified wines. For £25, it's an absolutely essential steal.
The meal fizzles out a little with Ouseburn Coffee which comes with a madeleine, and truffles which were fine, if not game-changing. An eclair was best, which was snappy, sweet, and oozing with a rich vanilla cream. Despite busting with cheese, I would/could have liked more.
I'm a bit gutted really that it's taken so long to give the tasting menus a go at Artisan, cos this was really impressive, especially for the price. Do I think the £75 House of Tides tasting menu is a £25ea step up? Absolutely no chance. For me, Artisan offers a similar standard of food, just with less truffle and less fannying on with tweezers. Peace & Loaf is a way away, just that bit more playful, exciting and out-there but for absolutely solid food, that's not pissed about with, in a lovely setting and a bargain of a wine matching, Artisan adds up to a memorable experience.


The Friday before Christmas we visited Columbia for the second time in a month (see Thanksmas for the first visit) to celebrate Keith graduating with his MBA from the school that must not be named... just kidding, but seriously Keith I might just tell people you got your MBA from somewhere else. It's all about pride!
Here are some photos from the party. Megan had dinner food catered. The cake was from Chocolate Nirvana in Columbia and the name really says it all.

Top 10 Places to Visit in Smoky Mountains
The Great Smoky Mountains are a mountain range rising along the Tennessee–North Carolina border in the southeastern United States. They are a subrange of the Appalachian Mountains, and form part of the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province. The range is sometimes called the Smoky Mountains and the name is commonly shortened to the Smokies. The Great Smokies are best known as the home of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which protects most of the range. The park was established in 1934, and, with over 9 million visits per year, it is the most-visited national park in the United States

More than you can see and do in a week, a month or a year, but a lifetime of fascinating natural splendors wrapped in the three most treasured brands of hospitality on Earth … Native American hospitality, Southern hospitality and Mountain hospitality.
The beautiful town of Cherokee is anchored by the world-class accommodations and games of Harrah's Cherokee Casino, but beyond the tables, suites and eclectic cuisine are three thousand waterfalls and hundreds of historic sites wrapped in mountains more than a million years old.

Instead of going to the beach or keeping it local and recently losing a weekend job, I decided to that I wanted to spend my 26th birthday in the mountains. My from Greenville, Sc, my girlfriend and I as well as two other friends venture out to the Smoky Mountains with a pit stop at Cataloochee Valley. Here we saw a few preserved buildings such as a home, barn, and school as well as a nice creek and a great view of the mountains surrounding us. Next stop right passed the state border into Tennessee, I crossed off another item off the bucket list: whitewater rafting. We did some whitewater rafting on the Pigeon river for a bout two hours before we made our way to our place of stay, our timeshare, Wyndham Smoky Mountains. That evening we grabbed dinner, grabs a few beers, and rode some Go-Karts in Gatlinburg.
Early next morning we drove through Gatlinburg and into Great Smokies National Park to the motor trail to hike up to Grotto Falls. Besides seeing the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, the rest of the day was spent relaxing.
Our final day, we left Wyndham and set off for Cades Cove, a picturesque valley west of Gatlinburg driving higher into the mountains to Clingmans Dome, the highest point of the Smoky Mountains. After a 15 minute heavy rainfall, we decended back into North Carolina into Cherokee Indian territory to check out another waterfall, Mingo Falls. Driving south into and out of Bryson City we reached out final stop, the road to nowhere, an unfinished government project that leaves an long abandoned tunnel and incomplete road to nothing.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a United States National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The border between Tennessee and North Carolina runs northeast to southwest through the centerline of the park. It is the most visited national park in the United States.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a major tourist attraction in the region. Over 9 million tourists and 11 million non-recreational visitors traveled to the park in 2010, more than twice as many visitors as the Grand Canyon, the second most visited national park.[15] Surrounding towns, notably Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Townsend, Tennessee, and Cherokee, Sylva, Maggie Valley, and Bryson City, North Carolina receive a significant portion of their income from tourism associated with the park.

The park has a number of historical attractions. The most well-preserved of these (and most popular) is Cades Cove, a valley with a number of preserved historic buildings including log cabins, barns, and churches. Cades Cove is the single most frequented destination in the national park. Self-guided automobile and bicycle tours offer the many sightseers a glimpse into the way of life of old-time southern Appalachia.

Bernie Sanders to push for govt – funded healthcare and abolition of private insurance
The issue has the potential to split the Democratic party
Senator Bernie Sanders is relaunching his push for a government-funded healthcare system, but the move could further divide Democrats on a key issue as the party seeks to regain its footing at the state and national levels.
While defending Obamacare – which Republicans unsuccessfully tried to dismantle in July – the Vermont independent declared that the way forward in the long-term was a "Medicare-for-all" single-payer system, a federally administered programme that would abolish the role of private insurers in basic healthcare coverage.
Single-payer healthcare is a system in which the government, generally through taxes, covers basic healthcare costs for all residents regardless of income, occupation or health status.
"Medicare-for-all …will be saving middle-class families substantial sums of money, and it will be guaranteeing health care to every man, woman, and child in this country," Mr Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats, told CNN.
Mr Sanders will soon be introducing a bill in the Senate that would create this system, a major plank of his 2016 presidential campaign, even if he knows it is unlikely to pass in the current political climate.
An Urban Institute study of Mr Sanders' single-payer proposal during the campaign said implementing the plan would increase federal expenditures by $32 trillion over 10 years.
"Look, I have no illusions that under a Republican Senate and a very right-wing House and an extremely right-wing president of the United States, that suddenly we're going to see a Medicare-for-all, single-payer passed," Mr Sanders recently told NPR. "You're not going to see it. That's obvious."
But he said the point of the bill is to force conversation about the idea.
"Senator Sanders has always believed that health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege," office spokesperson Daniel McLean told the Independent. "Like every other major country on Earth, every man, woman and child in our country should be able to access the health care they need regardless of their income."
The concept of a single-payer system is becoming increasingly popular in the Democratic party – senators including Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris have expressed some support, and, for the first time, a majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives have now signed on to the single-payer bill that Congressman John Conyers has been introducing regularly for more than 10 years.
However, experts fear that supporting a single-payer programme could become a litmus test for Democrats, meaning members either support the bill or progressive political action committees, or PACs, try to prevent them from getting reelected.

Horse & Hound Festival of Dressage competitor Vanessa Haunch is aiming to be the first person to compete a Dales pony in a tailcoat.
Vanessa and her eye-catching native Ridgelane Pete were competing in the Wow Saddles elementary championship at the festival, held at Sheepgate from 20 to 22 July.
The accountant, who hails from close to Somerford in Cheshire, bought "Pete" as a just-backed four-year-old in 2012.
"He hasn't been the easiest," she smiled, adding Pete has a "Jekyll and Hyde" personality.
"He has all the talent, but can be very stubborn — I call him the Thelwell pony because of his stubbornness.
Pete has his own Facebook page — The Dancing Dales — charting Pete's journey between the white boards.
Vanessa explained she set it up to show that you don't need a "conventional" dressage horse to enjoy and succeed in the sport.
"I set it up so people could see the good and the bad," she added.
The pair enjoyed some big wins in the show ring on the county circuit before Victoria decided to focus on dressage — and Pete is excelling in his new career.
"I want him to be the first Dales pony to compete [with his rider] in a tailcoat," she said, adding Pete is training at medium level at home.
The combination finished just out of the prizes and Vanessa added they were here for fun with "no pressure".
"This is only his sixth elementary as I decided last year that I didn't want to ride any more," she said, adding when it came to crunch-time she realised that she still loved riding after all.
As well as a full-time job, Vanessa fits the horses around being a mum to her son, Cameron.
"I wouldn't be able to do it without the help from my mum," she added.


A person might be an abhorrent chief, but if they are in sales for long enough, they will be promoted to higher level i.e. management.
Nevertheless, their possibility of moving higher to a Vice President or Director of Sales position is nil. Only favorable sales managers are sales executives.
Salesperson requires being fearless of making blunders that lead to lack of success. Everybody loves leading but only a few are ready to grasp the excursion that contains the need failures essential to achieve.
Sales managers must commonly hand down guidance from above to their representatives. The issue is, most managers entirely miss the impression when they do.
Moderately than comparing themselves with association authority, they try to take their team's side.
Assume the C-suite chooses to fluctuate from a geographic to vertical located territory system. The sales manager wants to see she achieves it, so she repeats what she believes her salespeople are feeling.
This is an intensely hazardous way to go down. After all, the manager can't reversal the change. Her approach makes her team members contrary to something they can't control.
The truth is, great sales managers aren't clear. Your eventual job is guiding your teammates to hit a cumulative goal. If you broadcast every burden you carry, you won't be able to attain that target.
Few sales managers are unwilling to micromanage. When they were in the office area, they didn't require notice or inspiration to make plenty of calls, set a sure number of conferences, ask for criterion, etc.
In fact, as representatives, they may have disliked managers who tried to instruct them. The natural attitude is, the person is aware of their job responsibilities.
Now that they've been promoted, these managers only get intricate with a deal when it's 75% probable or higher to close. They don't appreciate most of their salespeople really require support to hit those top metrics.
There is no conviction recruiting is a big constituent of the post. I advise giving an hour in a day to filling your applicant aqueduct: seeking for probable hires on LinkedIn, querying your network for criterion, having coffee meetings, and so forth.
What most sales managers never hold? Your firing capabilities are even more demanding than your appointing capabilities. Each low performing representative's abuse your team's ability to hit or exceed quota; plus, they're worst for self-esteem.
Give time and energy to identifying when people are not following or don't have the correct skills. The healthier team will be when the sooner manager will part ways with them.
Take a pen and paper and note down the top three internal operations you're carrying on.
Many sales managers are fighting the same battles: They are trying to get more or better leads, rearranging the marketing financial plan, protect certain characteristics in forthcoming product releases, and so on.
These are the incorrect battle. You are never going to gain the lead, marketing, or product wars. If you want to be a good sales manager, channel your time, energy, and resources into ones you can gain, like running aggressive analyses, getting more preparing, and pleasing your salespeople for their win and advancement.


Complaint letters provide a chance for managers to respond to a negative issue. If you recently had a poor experience at a fast food restaurant or drive-thru, consider writing a complaint letter.
While nothing may come of it, you might receive a refund or coupons. These sample letters below might help you write your own letter. Always be truthful. Type the letter, if possible. (If you do not have a printer, visit your local library.) Be sure to write it in business letter format.
My coworkers and I recently visited the Happy Taco restaurant at 341 Perky Panda Rd. on Friday, June 6th. We arrived at about 11:45. I have enclosed a copy of my receipt for your convenience.
This location is close to our office. We have met there at least five times within the past year. However, our experience on Friday was not a positive one. We were unhappy with the cleanliness and felt you needed to be made aware of the situation. All of the unoccupied tables were dirty and littered with crumbs and trash. In addition, the floor appeared to need mopping. The bathrooms were not very clean as well.
In the past, the restaurant has been clean. We really do enjoy the food at the Happy Taco. If improvements are made, we would be more likely to meet there again in the future. We typically visit at least once a month.
Please feel free to contact me at sallysue1234@email.com. Thank you for your response. Have a good day.
We recently celebrated our son's 6th birthday party at The Burgeroo at 32451 Jefferson Road. Our party was scheduled for Saturday, May 17th, at 4:00 PM. I have enclosed a receipt for your convenience.
Mr. Jones, we were very unhappy with the overall service. Our party was scheduled to begin at 4:00; however, at 3:55, the room was not ready. We had to wait outside with the guests and parents for ten minutes. This created an inconvenience for the parents, who had planned to drop their children off.
In addition, the food was not served on time. While I can understand a short delay, this soured my child's birthday party. The staff was not friendly about it, and seemed to be very rushed and annoyed.
In the past, we have enjoyed eating at The Burgeroo. The service is usually quick and friendly. Up until this negative experience, it was my son's favorite restaurant.
I have not yet shared this on social media or any review website. I wanted to provide you with an opportunity to respond before I did so. You can reach me anytime at (434)234-3324. Thank you.
My family and I have enjoying visiting Sally Sandwich Shop throughout the past few years. We love the sandwiches (especially your Meatball Parmesan one!) and in the past we have been happy with the customer service. However, on April 16, 2016, we had a negative experience and would like to inform you about.it.
We were in a hurry so we decided to run through your drive thru. We order two classic sandwich meals. The total with tax was $9.97. We gave the cashier a twenty, however, she only returned three cents for change. I reminded her that I had given her a ten, and she said "No, you gave me a twenty." I am certain that I handed her a twenty, and this can be verified by my wife.
We decided not to press the issue at this time; however, we would like you to check the records and see if the drawer came up ten dollars short. We know that mistakes can happen, and we would be more likely to patronize your business in the future should you correct this mistake.
I have enclosed a copy of our receipt for your convenience.
Putting a complaint in writing is always the way to go. It is especially effective to copy the supervisor so the letter doesn't get ignored. The benefit of a letter is that it is easily passed up the chain to people who can do something to correct the situation. A phone call or a spoken complaint usually gets no follow up.

Inaugural party surprise: VIP room off limits to congressional VIPs
by Keenan Steiner
Actor Tim Daly, the Creative Coalition's president, on the red carpet
(Correction: This post has been updated to reflect Creative Coalition's mission. The group did not lobby for legislation aimed at stopping online piracy known as SOPA.)
Celebrities from John Leguizamo to Marlon Wayans were bused to Washington D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre Monday night for a gala to celebrate the second inauguration of President Barack Obama but in an odd reversal of their usual good fortune, members of Congress found themselves shut out of the Creative Coalition's VIP party-within-a-party.
With the help of a long list of corporate and union sponsors, the entertainment industry group — which says it's lobbying for more federal funding for the arts — threw one of the glitziest bashes of the inaugural weekend.
Along the red carpet into the event, star after star fielded media questions on everything from what they thought of the president's speech to what they think the score of the Super Bowl will be.
Upstairs two events were taking place beyond where the media was allowed. On the second floor, there was a VIP reception with a special buffet and cocktail offerings. Later, those VIPs would get gift bags and prime seating at a Goo Goo Dolls concert.
Sponsors included the American Gas Association, the Nuclear Energy Association, Duke Energy, eBay and various labor unions. All paid between $10,000 to $100,000 to get their name on a poster board at the entrance. The top level sponsors got 50 VIP tickets to spread around.
On the third floor was the "standard admission" reception — with hors d'oeuvres but no buffet, cocktails but not "VIP cocktails," and no gift bag. That's where members of Congress — at least the smattering that were on hand as of 10 p.m. — were stationed. According to an event organizer, the members couldn't go to the VIP area because it would violate a congressional ethics rules.
It's unknown if David Arquette, Omar Epps or Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., all on hand, went up to the less glamorous third level.
In relegating the lawmakers to the less-munificent event, the Creative Coalition was following a portion of the House ethics rules that say members can attend a charity event but can't go to a VIP dinner associated with it. They can accept freebies like a ride to the event, the food and entertainment that are part of it but not "food or refreshments taken other than in a group setting with all or substantially all other attendees." In other words: No truffles unless everyone else gets them.
The Creative Coalition did not say which specific rule it was following in an ethics manual riddled with many different caveats. And the House Ethics Committee does not comment on specific events. But members are barred from accepting gifts worth more than $100 from a single source in a single year.
That does not mean members of Congress were not sipping champagne with VIPs at other events throughout the weekend. It just means that those event organizers found another exception to the House rules that allowed them to hold it. For instance, organizers may classify a VIP reception as a "widely-attended" event, meaning there are at least 25 people other than members of Congress and congressional employees present; lawmakers are allowed to attend such a gathering.
Although the Creative Coalition claimed more than 100 members of Congress as event hosts for its gala, few of them were streaming through the doors at 10 p.m., when the two official inaugural balls were taking place nearby. At least two lawmakers were at the theatre, according to an event organizer, including Rep. Joe Courtney, a Democrat from Connecticut. His aide was not immediately available for comment Tuesday.

Rosie Figueroa Dead, 1 Hurt, in Salinas Accident; Jacques Clarke Charged
Rosie Figueroa has been identified by authorities as the deceased in an alleged hit-and-run car collision that took place on December 20 in Salinas. Ms. Figueroa, a 38-year-old local resident, was driving a Toyota Camry on Davis Road during the evening when her car was hit from behind by a Mazda 6, driven by 18-year-old Carmel resident Jacques Clarke, allegedly traveling at an excessive rate of speed. The force of the collision cause the Toyota to veer off the street, hitting a tree. Ms. Figueroa died at the scene while a female passenger was taken to an area hospital badly injured. Mr. Clarke was charged with DUI and related crimes. An investigation remains underway.
We extend our deepest condolences to the friends and family of the deceased during this very difficult time.

Seznami so spremno gradivo k znanstveni monografiji Dr. Darje Koter Akademija za glasbo Univerze v Ljubljani – 80 let : 1939–2019.

Redno zaposleni pedagogi in zunanji sodelavci

Seznami pedagoških delavcev na Akademiji za glasbo niso ohranjeni v celoti.
Pogodbeni sodelavci so bili posebna kategorija zaposlenih; šteli so jih med redne, čeprav so delali na pogodbo.

Za leto 1947/48 ni znano, kateri izmed zunanjih sodelavcev so poučevali na AG oziroma na SGŠ, niti, kateri so poučevali tako na srednji kot visoki stopnji. Predvidevamo, da so označeni z * poučevali zgolj na srednji stopnji, ker pri določenih predmetih še ni bilo visokošolskega študija. Prim. Arhiv AG, Učni načrt Akademije za glasbo v Ljubljani 1946.

Zaradi obsežnosti in razdrobljenosti arhivskih podatkov je v razpredelnici prisotnih nekaj netočnosti glede časovnih kategorij. V arhivskem materialu ni podatkov za leto 1949, 1950, 1951, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 in 1963.

Ostali podatki so razvrščeni v dve glavni obdobji; od leta 1965 do 1989 in od leta 1990 do 1999. Za določene zaposlene letnica začetka zaposlitve ni navedena – navedena je letnica začetnega 'obdobja', torej 1965 ali 1990.

V kategoriji 'Vrsta študija' sta razvrščena tudi 'višješolski študij I. stopnje' in 'visokošolski študij II. stopnje' – stopenjski študij je Akademija za glasbo uvedla leta 1963 in ga z izjemno kitare in tolkal ukinila 1992/93.

V študijskem letu 1944/45 zaradi vojnih razmer ni bilo diplomskih izpitov.

Nagrajeni pedagogi
Nagrade Prešernovega sklada se podeljujejo od leta 1964, pred tem so bile poimenovane 'Prešernove nagrade', ker še ni bilo razlikovanja med nagradama.

Nagrajeni študenti
O tem, kdaj so na Akademiji za glasbo začeli podeljevati študentske Prešernove nagrade, ni podatkov. Zagotovo že leta 1961, ko jo je prejel klarinetist Alojz Zupan. Dokumentacija je popolnejša od leta 1962.

Q: Subscribed event is not firing I have a WPF User control and here is the code, where I initialize the view model and subscribe for the event.
   public partial class MyUserControl : UserControl
   {
    public MyUserControl()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.DataContext = new MyUserControlViewModel();
        ((MyUserControlViewModel)this.DataContext).MainModel.MessageDataNew.CollectionChanged += NewMessage_CollectionChanged;

    }

This is the collection change event and it's not firing :(
   private void NewMessage_CollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (MessageStatus != null)
        {
            var border = (Border)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(MessageStatus, 0);
            var scrollViewer = (ScrollViewer)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(border, 0);
            scrollViewer.ScrollToBottom();
        }
    }

This is my view model constructor. I am using GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Messaging
  public class MyUserControlViewModel: INotifyPropertyChanged
   {
     public MyUserControlViewModel()
     {
        Messenger.Default.Register<string>(this, "SimulatorLogs", AddtoCollection);
     }

      public MainModel MainModel
      {
         get { return _mainModel; }
         set
         {   _mainModel = value;
             RaisePropertyChanged(() => MainModel);
         }
    }

    private void AddtoCollection(string measurementData)
    {
        MainModel.MessageDataNew.Add(measurementData);
    }
  }

Q: Xamarin.Android - Cannot Change Access Modifiers when Overriding Public Inherited Member Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment I've created the following fragment in my Xamarin.Android solution:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Util;
using Android.Views;

using MvvmCross.Binding.Droid.Views;
using MvvmCross.Binding.Droid.BindingContext;

using ActiveNomad.Droid.Models;
using ActiveNomad.Droid.Settings;
using Android.Support.V4.App;
using MvvmCross.Droid.ViewModels;

namespace ActiveNomad.Droid.Views
{
[Register("activenomad.droid.views.adpagefragment")]
public class AdPageFragment : Fragment
{
    ImageView sponsorImageView;
    VideoView videoView;

    protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate (bundle);

    }

    protected override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
        base.OnCreateView (inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
        ActiveNomadSettings settings = SettingsManager.Instance.GetSettings ();

        sponsorImageView.FindViewById<ImageView> (Resource.Id.sponsorlogo);
        Android.Net.Uri imgUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse (settings.SponsorImagePath);
        sponsorImageView.SetImageURI (imgUri);

        videoView.FindViewById<VideoView> (Resource.Id.AdVideo);
        Android.Net.Uri vidUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse (settings.AdPageVideoPath);
        videoView.SetVideoURI (vidUri);
        videoView.Start ();

        return inflater.Inflate (Resource.Layout.AdPageView, container, true);

    }

  }
}

My Activity is as follows:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.Support.V4.App;
using ActiveNomad.Droid.Views;

namespace ActiveNomad
{
[Activity (Label = "AdPageActivity")]
public class AdPageActivity : FragmentActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate (bundle);

        var ad = new AdPageFragment{Arguments = new Bundle()};
        var fragmentTransaction = SupportFragmentManager.BeginTransaction ();
        fragmentTransaction.Add (Android.Resource.Id.Content, ad);
        fragmentTransaction.Commit ();
    }
 }
}

I changed the fragment such that OnCreateView is now a public override.  However, a new error is thrown:
  Error:  error: class adpagefragment is public, should be declared in
  a file named adpagefragment.java

Xamarin Studio opens the java file but am unsure whether this is system generated, and if it should be modified.  How should this issue be resolved?

A: Change the OnCreateView method from protected to public. It is public on the Fragment and as mentioned in the error message you cannot change the access modifier to protected.
public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
       Bundle savedInstanceState)

Q: List all values existing of a property? Assume I have a Student collection:
{
    name: "ABC",
    age: 10,
    address {
        city: "CITY1",
        state: "STATE",
    }
}

{
    name: "DEF",
    age: 11,
    address {
        city: "CITY2",
        state: "STATE",
    }
}

{
    name: "ABC",
    age: 12,
    address {
        city: "CITY1",
        state: "STATE",
    }
}

Can I get the list of all unique City values from the list? For example, with the above 3 documents, I would like to get the list {"CITY1", "CITY2"}
I was just getting started with MongoDB from Relational Database, so this is a little confused for me, since I needed another Address table for it and I can just use SELECT DISTINCT to get what I want.

A: MongoDB has a similar db.collection.distinct() command.
To access elements in the address subdocument you need to use dot notation, so the complete query would be:
 db.Student.distinct("address.city")

Some helpful documentation links to help you make the translation from SQL queries:

*

*SQL to MongoDB Mapping Chart

*SQL to Aggregation Mapping Chart

A: Just for notes, there is already distinct as mentioned, but for a more conventional response, use aggregate:
db.Student.aggregate([
    {"$unwind": "$address" }},
    {"$group": { "_id": "$address.city" }},
    {"$project": { "_id": 0, "city" : "$_id" }}
])

Long winded compared to distinct, but it depends on what your eyes want.


A report by Canalys shows that Apple was the world's leading smartphone seller in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Apple sold an estimated 71.7 million iPhones in this period, which secured it a 19.8% market share worldwide.
In contrast, Samsung sold 70.3 million units – a market share of 19.4% – while Huawei achieved 60.5 million unit sales, and a market share of 16.7%.
Samsung was still comfortably the leading smartphone seller of 2018, however, selling 293.7 million phones during the year – compared to the 212.1 million and 206 million by Apple and Huawei respectively.
Despite Huawei's 34.5% increase in sales from 2017, Canalys predicts a poor 2019 for the Chinese company due to global concerns regarding cybersecurity.
"Political tensions, security concerns, and disputes over intellectual property theft threaten to disrupt its remarkable momentum," said Canalys.
The 2018 sales figures for the biggest smartphone companies in the world are shown below.

Los Angeles Teacher Ratings
Lizeth Orozco
A 5th grade teacher at Montara Avenue Elementary in 2010
These graphs show a teacher's "value-added" rating based on his or her students' progress on the California Standards Tests in math and English. The Times' analysis used all valid student scores available for this teacher from the 2003-04 through 2009-10 academic years. The value-added scores reflect a teacher's effectiveness at raising standardized test scores and, as such, capture only one aspect of a teacher's work.
Math effectiveness
Least effective
Most effective
English effectiveness

About this rating
The red lines show The Times' value-added estimates for this teacher. Orozco falls within the "more effective than average" category of district teachers in math and within the "average" category in English. These ratings were calculated based on test scores from 62 students.
Because this is a statistical measure, each score has a degree of uncertainty. The shading represents the range of values within which Orozco's actual effectiveness score is most likely to fall. The score is most likely to be in the center of the shaded area, near the red line, and less likely in the lightly shaded area. Teachers with ratings based on a small number of student test scores will a have wider shaded range.
The beige area shows how the district's 11,500 elementary school teachers are distributed across the categories.

Q: About deleting previous div using jquery I have question i.e how can i select a previous div
CODE:-
if($i > $start_from){
                echo "

$title

                $desc

hahaquotes, DATED: $date, URL: $url

READDELETE

";
                if($i == $start_from + 4) break;
                }
                }

This is my code When i click on DELETE the whole div should be deleted the id for div is dynamically created how can i achive this using jquery. Please Help me Thank you in advance

A: Attach a click handler to the anchor using the delete class as a selector. Within the handler this will refer to the clicked element, and from there you can traverse to the thing you want to delete without needing to know its id:
$("a.delete").click(function() {
    $(this).closest("div").closest("div").remove();
});

The .closest() method traverses up through the DOM to find the closest ancestor matching the supplied selector. In your particular html structure the div you are looking for is the second-closest, so I've simply chained two invocations of .closest() together.
You can simplify this if you modify your html to give the div you want to remove a particular class, say "entry", because then you can traverse up to it with a single call to .closest() as follows:
echo "
(etc.)"

$("a.delete").click(function() {
    $(this).closest("div.entry").remove();
});

If you have several of these structures then each "delete" link would remove only the div that it belongs to.

A: you can use selector as
       $('div[id$="blog"]')

A: Assuming the parent div have id attribute and other div dont have id (as per your example).
you can use
$(".delete").click(function() {
    $(this).parents("div[id]").remove();
 }):

EDIT :
Using .closest() instead of .parents() will be better and effective.
$(".delete").click(function() {
    $(this).closest("div[id]").remove();
 }):

Thanks to nnnnnn.

A: Your code would be like this :-
JQuery:-
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('a.delete').click(function(){
        $(this).closest('.parentPanel').remove();
    });

});

EDIT: Changed parentUntill() to closest() as few of the mates informed and I do agree that parentUntill() selects the selecter 1step below the matched one. * Thanks nnnnnn
The changed Code:- I have added a class named parentPanel
if($i > $start_from){
            echo "

$title

            $desc

hahaquotes, DATED: $date, URL: $url

READDELETE

";
            if($i == $start_from + 4) break;
            }
            }

Q: How to execute stored procedure and get return result in MVC/EF/LINQ Could any one guide me on how to execute a SQL Server stored procedure in ASP.NET MVC / EF
application and get results back?
SQL Server stored procedure
 CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure2 AS
     declare @parameter2 int
     SET @parameter2 = 4

     RETURN @parameter2

MVC code
 private readonly TestDatastoreContext _context = new TestDatastoreContext();

 public ViewResult Index(string id)
 {
        ViewData["EnvironmentId"] = id;

        using (_context)
        {
            _context.Database.Connection.Open();
            var command = _context.Database.Connection.CreateCommand();
            command.CommandText = "dbo.StoredProcedure2";
            command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            var test = (command.ExecuteScalar());
        }

        var bigView = new BigViewModel
        {
            VersionsModel = _context.Versions.ToList(),
            EnvironmentViewModel = _context.Environments.ToList(),
        };

        return View(model: bigView);
}

A: Check this official doc on how to map the Stored Procedure to your Context:
Stored Procedures in the Entity Framework
After the mapping you'll be able to call the Stored Procedure this way:
var val = _context.StoredProcedure2();

A: One option is to simply do this:
MyReturnEntity ret = context.Database
         .SqlQuery<MyReturnEntity>("exec myStoredProc ?, ?", param1, parm2);

A: Your problem is this: you're returning the value from the stored procedure (using RETURN @paramter2), but your .NET code is trying to read a result set; something that would be "returned" by using a SELECT ..... statement inside the stored procedure
So change your stored procedure to this:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure2 AS
     declare @parameter2 int
     SET @parameter2 = 4

     SELECT @parameter2

and then your .NET code should work just fine.
The RETURN statement should be used for status codes only and it can return INT values only. If you want to use that, you'll have to define a SqlParameter for your stored procedure with a Direction.ReturnValue

A: You can use this library:
https://github.com/mrmmins/C-StoreProcedureModelBinding
Returns the values as a List, you only need create a simple class with the names and values types, like:
var productos = DataReaderT.ReadStoredProceadures<MyCustomModel>(myDbEntityInstance, "dbo.MySPName", _generic);

and MyCumtomModel class is something like:
public int id {get; set;}
public int salary {get; set;}
public string name {get; set;}
public string school {get; set;}

and generic like:
List<Generic> _generic = = new List<Generic>
                          {
                              new Generic
                                  {
                                      Key = "@phase", Type = SqlDbType.Int, Value = "207"
                                  }
                          }
                      };

And now, your products has the options like: products.First(), products.Count(), foreach etc.


Do you notice any of these issues with your teen?
Suddenly exhibiting unusual or bad behavior.
Reluctance to talk or let you get involved with their life.
Cutting classes or school altogether.
Spending all her free time with friends.
While many of these can be typical signs of adolescence, they're also common problems that families who have been through divorce have with their teenage children.
Your family doesn't have to fall into the stereotypical "broken home" syndrome when divorce divides your household. The media paints a picture of divorced families as a difficult environment for children to grow and prosper, and some studies do support that theory. Attorney Molly B. Kenny is here to tell Washington parents that this doesn't have to be the case for all families.
Children, especially teenagers, process divorce differently at every age. Divorce can rush self-sufficiency in teenagers and put school on the back burner if parents aren't careful to maintain a careful eye on their teen's behavior and emotional well-being.
Even though studies found that children of divorce had a higher high school dropout rate, that doesn't mean your teen is destined to drop out or struggle in school. Good communication, attentiveness, and just being an all-around good parent can help keep your child on track. In this eBook, Molly B. Kenny discusses the different theories and stereotypes surrounding teens of divorce and shares information and resources to help you connect with your child and usher her into a successful adulthood.


Chiropractic is one of the fastest growing trends in the health and wellness market and most people turn to it when they are in pain.
The chiropractor uses several useful adjustments and helps the patient to heal from injury, accidents, sports and simple muscle problems.
"What is chiropractic?" is still a big question for many of the people who haven't tried it yet, but those who have already given done so are amazed by the terrific results it has given them. There are several chiropractic quotes which have been given by some of the famous people and celebrities world wide, which bring out the benefits of chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractic is one of the most acclaimed healing techniques in the healthcare industry today. One of the major reasons for this is the fact that it does not use any artificial drug, but only the natural techniques to heal the body injury and perform various advanced chiropractic techniques which you also can refer to some chiropractic adjustment video.
In the words of Moses Maimonides – "No illness which can be treated by the diet should be treated by any other means".

The Story: Dream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through.

The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.

I have a glue gun and glue sticks… Very nice, can't believe that you did it!
