I am storing my questions and answers seperate tables. Each answer is related questions by ids.
Thanks for answers.
My view:

                    //$('#sorular').html(table);

                }
            });

Controller.cs
 public ActionResult GetQuestionsBySubCategory(string subcattext)
    {
        var subcatid = subCategoryServices.GetAll().Where(x => x.Title == subcattext).FirstOrDefault().Id;
        IEnumerable<QuestionVM> questionList = questionServices.GetAll().Where(x => x.SubCategory_Id == subcatid);

        return Json(questionList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

    }

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult GetAnswersByQuestionId(int questionid)
    {

        IEnumerable<AnswerVM> answerList = answerServices.GetAll().Where(x => x.Question_Id == questionid);

        return Json(answerList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

    }

A: If you want to make your querying faster, I would recommend Dapper. Dapper is a lightweight ORM that runs almost as fast as native SQL. There is a good tutorial that I would recommend you reading here: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/asp-net-mvc-crud-with-dapper-micro-orm/
Essentially, you'll be running queries like this (this isn't exact but it's very close to the Dapper syntax without seeing your database structure or the rest of your code):
public ActionResult GetQuestionsBySubCategory(string subcattext)
{
    var subcatid = db.Query("SELECT Id from SubcategoryServices WHERE Title = @title", new { title = subcattext });
    IEnumerable<QuestionVM> questionList = db.Query("SELECT * FROM QuestionServices WHERE SubCategory_Id = @subcategoryId", new { subcategoryId = subcatid });

    return Json(questionList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Aside - your DOM manipulation is very slow too, so that could also be making your application slower too. The technical reason is because the DOM has to re-render itself once you append elements to it. Rendering takes time.
It is out of the scope to create your whole application here, but I would strongly recommend at ReactJs or Vue as front-end libraries to create faster frontend code.

All is quiet on the storefront as the owner of a small clothes shop locks up for the night. Little does she know that when the lights go out, activity in her store really picks up! Two lively mannequins, LuAnn and Patty, have been waiting all day for a chance to loosen up. When they discover fellow mannequin Danny in a mistakenly delivered crate, the night really gets interesting! The new mannequin on the block talks of his dreams of becoming a crash test dummy — "No more standing all day with a crooked hairpiece!" he exclaims. He not only gets out of his box, he thinks outside the box when a pair of bungling burglars breaks in. Read more...With Danny taking the reins, the mannequins show the crooks who the real "dummies" are, playing games with their minds, frightening them out of their wits and sending them on their way! To add to the fun and suspense, the burglars and mannequins are almost caught by the near-sighted security guard and some late-night window shoppers. With great comic dialogue and stage action, you won't want the curtain to close on this crazy award-winning comedy, popular with all ages!
After Hours has been a hit for my students and audience members. Its quick wit, fast pace, and funny characters make it a totally enjoyable show to produce and watch.
It had great characters and some acting challenges that entertained an audience. Not only did the audience respond favorably, but we won 3rd place at Subsections and was an alternate for Regions.
There was so much there for my senior director to work with. It was very user friendly.


let me know what you think, and if anything can be improved.
Hey all, a few small changes.
Major change in client lounge, new subdomain and realtime online image help for clients.
Online chat extended to the rest of the site.
Looks like a really good idea no doubt your already doing really well with it. Seriously though, I don't want to rain on your parade but that flash navigation system is a total nightmare.
In my opinion the navigation is fine, but there are a fair few gramatical errors which you may want to sort out.
Other than that it looks really good I reckon.
i was clicking all through the different slides etc, i was working my way through form left to right but when i want to go back to view the ones on the left i couldnt, if i clicked on it, it wouldnt swivel round and view it, dont know if anyone else has had this problem? i agree with ben and turn the little slides 90 or something, did you get the idea from itunes album artowrk thingi?
Something odd happened when i used the bottom navigation then maximised my window. See the screenshot below.
WTF lol ill look into that, thanks for finding that!
Cheers man, thanks for being honest, something i will certainly consider when i rework it in the future.
anyone else finding any other problem? particularly in IE?
Well refreshing in IE seems to mess it up.
Great business idea, I'm sure you'll do pretty well! Seems like you have the skills for it. Seems a little under priced to me for what you're doing!
Which leads me onto my next point...for your website - let the photography do the talking!
The site's okay and quite novel but why confine the main selling point of your business to a small box in the middle of the screen?! Seems daft to me.
The font on the 'news' section is different to all the other sections.
Really cool website, very smart.
The pictures are really good, terry showed me some from the Hampshire comp.
Your going to go far!
You are a photographer, not a flash developer, nor a website designer, let the pictures do the talking, let the customer reactions do the talk.
You don't need the flash, you need a flat, elegant site that makes it easier for prospective clients to view what they can get and what they can get in return; increased sales.
Idea is pretty damn awesome though, so good luck with it.
I think the photos and your idea is f*cking awesome! serious I love aerial photos of anything and this is brilliant, as you've pointed out commercially and at home too.
but seriously kudos for the idea, hope you go far !!
Mmmm ok, what screen size do you use mate? im not sure what that is.
let the photography do the talking!
True, the minimalistic design was what i first wanted to achieve, with more pictures than text and really let people SEE what we are all about and not read however, the market we are aiming for is an older age bracket, and i did some research on this, i showed them some websites one being Muir Vidlers Photography site and Bright Blue days website the majority said they preferred bright blue days because of the content and the background on the company. I know this isnt a perfect comparison but it was the closest i could get. I aimed to produce a site with the same amount of useful content as Bright Blue Days. But Yeh, i probaly could use more pictures, would be better visually but would also affect load times.
Content also helps with Google rating as they now index flash.
Taking a wild stab in the dark here, Mitch- but is Muir Vidler a relation of yours? Those pics are totally awesome!!
Anyway, back on topic and I like the flash site although I agree that you should be able to maximise the pictures on the site to allow people to see the images clearer. Good luck with it though!
Mitch- but is Muir Vidler a relation of yours?
cheers for the feedback Dave see you at xmas.
I tried it on all 3 of my randomly sized screens (1280x1024, 1440x900 and 1680x1050) was the same for all of them.
tried it on all 3 of my randomly sized screens (1280x1024, 1440x900 and 1680x1050) was the same for all of them.
PS. Whats so innovating about those pics?
You seem to have a strong viewpoint on the subject lol, care to elaborate?
It provides innovative images in the fact that they can be taken from 100ft in the air, with a DSLR, without the use of helicopters, offer far better image quality and different angle to that of traditional aerial system or kite systems, can be set up anywhere and its environmentally friendly as only air is used in the system.
Got a picture of the systems you use to take these pictures?
theres one on the pricing page of the trailer collapsed, and a cropped one of the trailer and the portable mast set up on the high level photo page.
Also, as simon and other people have picked up on you, your a photography company. People are there for one reason - to see your product, Which is photographs - SHOW THE PHOTOGRAPHS as decently as possible, Large un-interupted images.
As for the navigation, as a rule of thumb on an interface, if your moving your mouse onto an object, any event which happens as a result should be as close as possible.. otherwise when your looking for "prices" for example.. your eyes look up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down etc etc until you explode.
Furry/faded/cheapo/filtertastic borders were crap in the 90's - make a nice soft frame with really light grey outline or something and it'll transform it tenfold.
The photographs are nice, the site doesnt work.
lol much more helpful! cheers for your input, im receiving really mixed views about this site. Its very interesting.
again cheers for your advice!


What would it be like to live in a world at peace according to Nobel Peace Prize winners?
With the title "to achieve world peace" the last session of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates took place in Barcelona.
Panellists were asked how they could imagine their country in peace.
Former President Oscar Arias from Costa Rica replied that peace is a daily situation in his country; it's part of the country's nature, part of its genetics, as it is a country without an army and conflicts are resolved through dialogue and reaching agreements.
He said that the meeting of different governments on the subject of Syria has taken place too late and that the meeting should have taken place earlier.
Former South African President, F. W. De Klerk explained that in order to resolve violence in South Africa under apartheid, first they had to achieve peace and then keep it. The other great challenge was to reduce the gap between rich and poor.
Professor Jody Williams said that for her country, the United States, in order to build a positive peace instead of fomenting violence, first they have to dismantle the myth that the majority of Americans believe in: that the USA is a peaceful country. The people forget that the United States was born from a genocide of the indigenous population, Americans carry war in their genes, the history of the USA is full of war, but countries build their myths on stories that they are interested in in order to create identity.
The Iranian doctor, Shirin Ebadi replied to the question regarding how Iran would be in peace. For her, democracy doesn't mean only a victory in elections. She said that we shouldn't imagine that because elections are freely held in a country and a political party comes to power, then this government is a democratic one.
For Tawakkol Karman, Yemen is a peaceful nation that in 2011 decided to go to the street peacefully against the dictatorship. They went with flowers in their hands to confront the dictator, they lost their brothers in the struggle while they were singing. They didn't attack anyone and achieved the resignation of the President.

El Jeunesse Athlétique Kétou es un equipo de fútbol de Benín que milita en la Liga 2 de Benín, la segunda categoría de fútbol en el país.

Historia
Fue fundado en la ciudad de Pobè bajo el nombre JS Pobè y es el único club de la ciudad que ha estado en la Premier League de Benín, en la cual fue campeón en la temporada 2013. Otros de sus títulos han sido una copa nacional y un título de supercopa, ambos obtenidos en el año 2002.

En la temporada 2009 el club fue excluido de la Premier League de Benín luego de fallar en los formularios de participación en la liga que regían a partir de esa temporada.

El club retornó a la máxima categoría pero con el nombre JS Plateau en la temporada 2011, aunque esa temporada fue abandonada en abril por un conflicto sobre la cantidad de equipos en la liga.

A nivel internacional han participado en un torneo continental, en la Recopa Africana 2003, en el cual abandonaron el torneo en la primera ronda cuando iban a enfrentase al ES Sahel de Túnez

Luego de haber descendido de categoría en la temporada 2013/14, el club retornó a la Premier League de Benín, pero el club se mudó a la ciudad de Cotonú y cambió su nombre por el del JS Cotonou. En la temporada 2021/22 el club pasa a llamarse JA Kétou y desciende a la segunda categoría.

Man who decapitated and ate his fellow traveler in packed passenger bus due in court
The man who witnesses said stabbed, beheaded and cannibalized a fellow traveler on a Greyhound bus in Canada is due in court Tuesday.
A judge is expected to rule on a request that Vince Weiguang Li, who's charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of 22-year-old Tim McLean, be sent for a psychiatric evaluation.
Li, who immigrated to Canada from China four years ago and worked for a time as a church custodian, did not enter a plea to the charge when he first appeared in court Friday, and has since been kept in custody in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
Passengers on the bus described a horrific scene that began late Wednesday as they shuttled through the darkness along a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles (19 kilometers) from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.
Thirty-seven passengers were aboard the Greyhound, some napping and others watching "The Legend of Zorro," when Li suddenly attacked McLean.
Li allegedly stabbed McLean several dozen times as others fled the bus, witnesses said. He then severed McLean's head, displayed it to the frightened passengers gathered outside the bus and began hacking at the body. A police officer at the scene reported seeing the attacker hacking off pieces of the victim's body and eating them, according to a police tape leaked on the Internet.
A church pastor, Tom Castor, who helped hire Vince Weiguang Li soon after he immigrated in 2004, said the man never showed any sign of anger or emotional problems.
"He seemed like a person who was happy to have a job, was committed to doing it well and didn't stand out in any way (in terms of) having anger issues or having any other issues," Castor said.
Church officials vetted Li by talking to people listed on his application as personal references. They also checked for a criminal record. There were no signs of trouble.
Castor said Li's wife, Anna, who immigrated with him from China, was "shocked and very much afraid as to what this is going to mean for her own life."
Almost 80,000 people have joined an online memorial group for McLean.

text: THE ADVOCATE V O L . 7 8 P A R T 3 M A Y 2 0 2 0 329 ENTRE NOUS History does not write itself; it is pieced together over time from a variety of sources, including contemporaneously written ones. Sometimes the Advocate is that source. Sometimes, however, dramatic world events that one might expect would have received a mention in the magazine simply do not. The Advocate is surprisingly quiet about the Kennedy assassination, for example, and it said nothing of the FLQ crisis until over a year after the War Measures Act was invoked—and then, only in relation to a book review on the topic. On other occasions there is writing that reflects the common mood when world events simply take over. For example, an Entre Nous appears in the November 2001 issue reflecting our take on the devastating impact of the terrorist attacks in the United States a scant eight weeks earlier. At the time we started writing this piece we found ourselves balancing on what felt like a precipice. Our publication timeline and the speed at which the news constantly changed meant that whatever thoughts we were able to form on this topic became surpassed by a subsequent tsunami altering the landscape. Nevertheless, we have felt compelled to capture some of our thoughts and feelings as alternating waves of fear and courage bash at our hull. Fear not, though. Tsunami or not, we are all going to ride this one out. We write, of course, about COVID-19, which has spread globally since late 2019. After thousands of deaths in China, the coronavirus disease spread to continental Europe and a vast eruption in cases took place in Italy and Spain. The World Health Organization declared a pandemic, international and domestic travel was seriously curtailed and then cancelled, Canada's border with the United States was closed to non-essential traffic and one by one the provinces started declaring states of emergency. Each time we return to this paragraph something still more dramatic has happened: the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has tested positive and the United States now surpasses China as having the most reported cases.

Watch the Olympics without TV
No TV? No problem!
NBC is making 4,500 hours of Olympics coverage available at NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app. The online coverage includes every single event live, as NBC continues a practice begun with the London Olympics in 2012 under new owner Comcast Corp.
For the first time, NBC is also offering some events in virtual reality through Samsung's Gear VR headset. NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell described the foray into virtual reality as experimental.
Much of this requires having a cable or satellite TV subscription, though as an alternative, you can sign up for Sony's PlayStation Vue service for $30 or $40 a month to get extensive access to NBC's app and website. Dish's Sling TV also offers some NBC channels online for $25 a month. In either case, you can cancel after the Olympics.
NBC is showing the Olympics on its over-the-air network and cable channels Bravo, CNBC, Golf Channel, MSNBC, NBC Sports Network and USA Network. It also has two temporarily channels devoted solely to soccer and basketball, plus one for events recorded in a higher-quality format known as 4K — though you'll need a 4K TV for that. In Spanish, the Olympics are on Telemundo and NBC Universo. All told, there will be more than 2,000 hours of television coverage , with live streaming of all the permanent channels on NBC's app and website.

Here's how to watch the Olympics online, depending on the subscriptions you have:
Old-school Olympics
Networks used to show the Olympics only on their over-the-air broadcast channels. But as the costs of Olympic rights rose, NBC started borrowing its cable channels to make more room for events it has already paid for.
NBC's over-the-air network remains the primary destination, though. That's where you'll find the most popular sports, including swimming, diving, track and field and gymnastics, along with the opening and closing ceremonies and the basketball finals. You can watch all 260-plus hours live for free if you have an antenna. You'll need a video recorder such as TiVo to record events for later. Some TiVo models give you online access to your recordings.
Beyond that, NBC's app and website offer highlights, interviews and features on athletes without needing a cable or satellite subscription. You'll also have full access to scores, schedules and guides to understanding obscure events. But for extensive video coverage, both live and on demand, you need to sign in with a cable or satellite TV account, beyond an initial grace period of 30 minutes, plus five minutes per day after that.

The $25-a-month Sling Blue package offers Bravo, USA and the NBC Sports Network on a variety of phones, tablets, personal computers and streaming TV devices. During the Olympics, Sling is adding MSNBC and CNBC for free. For $5 each, subscribers can get the Golf Channel and the Spanish-language NBC Universo.
The NBC broadcast network itself is part of the basic Sling Blue package, but is available only in the Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Hartford, Conn., Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego and Washington markets. The Spanish-language Telemundo network isn't available anywhere, nor are the temporary soccer, basketball or 4K channels.
The catch is you must watch everything in real time. Sling isn't offering any on-demand video coverage, nor will Sling's password give you access to extensive video on NBC's app or website or VR through Gear VR.
PlayStation Vue
Vue acts more like a cable service by giving you sign-in privileges for video and VR. But there's no cable to install — or disconnect after the Olympics. In fact, both Sling TV and PlayStation Vue offer free weeklong trials, so you can game the system by staggering the trials during the two-week Olympics. (You didn't hear it from us!)
Vue offers most NBC cable channels, including the temporary soccer and basketball channels, as part of its basic plan. It costs $30 or $40 a month, depending on the market. NBC and Telemundo stations are offered in more than a dozen markets each. You can get Golf Channel and NBC Universo for an additional $5 each.
The catch is you need a PlayStation, Amazon Fire TV or Roku device to sign up, after which you can watch on iPhones, iPads and other devices, too. Vue offers an online DVR with unlimited storage, but recordings expire after 28 days. There may be restrictions on viewing recordings or real-time channels from outside your home — though NBC's app is available for that.
Traditional subscribers
Many cable and satellite providers will add a 4K channel for the Olympics to show selected events, typically with a one-day delay. For VR, viewers will have to get NBC's app through the Oculus store on Gear VR and sign in with their cable or satellite account. Again, these will be offered with a one-day delay. NBC isn't directly involved with either the 4K or VR production, but will rely on international feeds provided by the International Olympic Committee's Olympic Broadcasting Services.
"The Olympics serve as a great ground to test new things, try new technologies, new cameras, new traffic systems and you're going to see that with 4K and VR," Bell said.
Most of the online video will come from OBS as well. So while NBC's announcers cover an event live on television, with an online simulcast, NBC's website and app will usually carry the international feed. That makes the digital destinations a good way for immigrants to follow athletes from their home countries. On TV, expect most of the focus to be on Americans and top contenders.

If you're a vinyl junkie, this Saturday, April 21st is probably like Christmas to you—hell, it's probably bigger than Christmas, because your stupid relatives probably still buy you CDs no matter how many times you tell them it's an obsolete technology. Yes, kids, it's Record Store Day, and the cornucopia of limited-edition collector's crack that will be hitting the shelves of your local independent music retailer should be a boost to eBay's bottom line for months to come.
We've already written about the Flaming Lips' pretty sweet-sounding Record Store Day exclusive. You can also snag RSD releases from such TWBITW-approved acts as The Misfits, Tinariwen and Captain Beefheart. But the other release that has us really intrigued is a 1981 live album (available only on vinyl—it's the Record Store Day way) from DEVO called, in typical DEVO utilitarian fashion, Live in Seattle 1981. Previously available only as a bootleg unreleased, the album is a document of the band's New Traditionalists tour, which featured Greek columns and treadmills and the Ronald Reagan hairpieces seen above. This was right after "Whip It" became a huge hit, so DEVO was a big deal back then.
Seattle Weekly just published a great little interview with DEVO's Gerald Casale in which he talks about that tour, the 1981 music scene, and why the band likes supporting Record Store Day. (Spoiler alert: They think it's "quaint.") Read up on the backstory, then call your record shop and ask if they'll be carrying Live in Seattle 1981. Then prepare to knock a few DEVO nerds' Energy Domes off en route to securing your copy this Saturday. (Kidding! Be nice to the DEVO nerds. This is the one day a year some of them get out of the house.)
We'll leave you with one of our favorite DEVO songs from the New Traditionalists era. Not sure if it's on Live in Seattle 1981 or not, but we sure hope so.
Flaming Lips collaborate on Record Store Day release with Bon Iver, Lightning Bolt and…Ke$ha?!?

Well, it's not quite as bizarre as a 24-hour song released inside an actual human skull, but it'll have to do. The Flaming Lips are releasing a new album of collaborations on limited-edition colored vinyl on Record Store Day (April 21st) and the guest list reads like one of those blatantly bogus Coachella lineups. Among the artists lending their vocal and musical talents to The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends: Chris Martin, Nick Cave, Yoko Ono, Erykah Badu, Bon Iver, Biz Markie, Neon Indian, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Prefuse 73, Tame Impala, Lightning Bolt, and Ke$ha. Yes, Ke$ha will appear on the same album as John Lennon's widow and our favorite bass/drums noise-rock duo. We'll give you a moment to bang your head on your keyboard and weep for humanity.
But wait, it gets better worse: Wayne Coyne recently told Rolling Stone that he had so much fun working with the slutwave princess that he's considering teaming up again on her next album. "She's a lot of fun and crazy and open to ideas," Coyne insisted, "and she's creative. She's all these things that you don't know."
Now, to be fair, we haven't heard the Ke$ha/Lips/Biz Markie track "2012" yet, so who knows? Maybe it will blow our minds. After all, we're talking about a band that once recorded a pretty dope song about Spongebob Squarepants. So anything's possible. But Ke$ha brings such a diverse array of suck to everything she touches, from Flo Rida hooks to Bob Dylan covers, that we are not optimistic.
As for the rest of Heady Fwends: Several tracks from it are widely available on the Interwebs, including a live version of the Neon Indian collab, "Is David Bowie Dying?", and the Bon Iver track, "Ashes in the Air," which is predictably the one that has the hipster blogs all atwitter. But this being Weirdest Band in the World, we must leave you with the Lightning Bolt tune, which bears the fantastic title "I'm Working at NASA on Acid" and comes with this nifty little video released last August. Bolt fans, stay with it until about the three-minute mark; things start to get interesting, trust us.
The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends will only be available on Record Store Day (Saturday, April 21st) at select independent retailers. To find a participating store near you, visit the official RSD site. You also might want to call ahead, because not every store will be carrying it, and the ones that do have it might sell out in a hurry.
There's also a really cool video on the Flaming Lips website showing how the multi-colored vinyl for Heady Fwends was pressed. As you can see, every single copy is unique. Wonder what these puppies will fetch on eBay in a few months?

Widener University is a private university in Chester, Pennsylvania. The university has three other campuses: two in Pennsylvania (Harrisburg and Exton) and one in Wilmington, Delaware.

Founded as The Bullock School for Boys in 1821, the school was established in Wilmington, Delaware. It became The Alsop School for Boys from 1846 to 1853, and then Hyatt's Select School for Boys from 1853 to 1859. Military instruction was introduced in 1858, and the school changed its name in 1859 to Delaware Military Academy. It moved to Pennsylvania in 1862 and became Chester County Military Academy. It was known as Pennsylvania Military College after 1892 and adopted the Widener name in 1972.

About 3,300 undergraduates and 3,300 graduate students attend Widener in eight degree-granting schools.  The university offers associate, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees in areas ranging from traditional liberal arts to professional programs. It is classified among "Doctoral/Professional Universities" and a "Community Engagement Institution".

History

Widener University was founded in 1821 as the Bullock School for Boys preparatory school in Wilmington, Delaware, by John Bullock.  Bullock operated the school until 1846 when it was sold to Samuel Alsop and renamed the Alsop School for Boys. In 1853, the school was sold to Theodore Hyatt and renamed the Hyatt's Select School for Boys, and again in 1859 to the Delaware Military Academy.  In 1862, the school moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania.  By act of assembly on April 8, 1862, the Pennsylvania legislature incorporated the school as a university under the name of Chester County Military Academy.  In 1865, the school moved to Chester, Pennsylvania, and occupied the building which would become the Old Main building of the Crozer Theological Seminary. By 1868, the school outgrew the Crozer Old Main building and relocated to its current location.

From 1892 to 1966, the school was known as Pennsylvania Military College (PMC) and was under the direction of General Charles Hyatt. PMC was once one of the nation's senior military colleges. In 1869, Pennsylvania Military College was the first school to have a U.S. Army detail stationed at the school and to receive federal arms for training.  In 1904, the school was recognized on the first list of distinguished institutions published by the U.S. War Department. In 1923, "American March King" John Philip Sousa wrote and dedicated "The Dauntless Battalion" march to PMC's President (Colonel Charles E. Hyatt), the faculty and the cadets of PMC. Sousa had been presented with an honorary doctor of music degree by the college in 1920, and he was impressed by the cadet cavalry horsemen.

In 1966, the school changed its name again to PMC Colleges, which incorporated Pennsylvania Military College as well as Penn Morton College, which had a non-military, co-educational curriculum.  The school expanded the Chester campus from 25 acres to 90 acres.  Graduate programs were introduced in 1966, and female students were first enrolled in 1967.

In 1972, the institution was renamed Widener College to honor the memory of Eleanor Elkins Widener, the maternal grandmother of Fitz Eugene Dixon Jr., a generous supporter of the organization over four decades and a member of the prominent Widener family of Philadelphia.  The Corps of Cadets disbanded, although an Army ROTC program was retained.  The Widener University School of Law was acquired in 1975, which was split in 2015 to become two separate law schools: one on the Delaware campus and another in Harrisburg – Widener University Commonwealth Law School. In recognition of its comprehensive offerings, Widener College became Widener University in 1979. Today, Widener is a four-campus university offering more than 80 programs of study.

Architecture

The Manor House was designed and built by Jonathan Edwards Woodbridge in 1888 at 14th and Potter Street.  It was a wedding gift to his wife, Louise Deshong, and was originally named "The Louise".  It was modeled after the late 19th-century English country manor style and is unique for its hand-made brick construction.

The house was given to the city of Chester as a home for young women.  In 1976, Widener University purchased the home for use as a student residence.   It later became home to the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority.  The home is currently used by Widener University as a student dormitory.

The Old Main and Chemistry Building were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Timeline
Throughout its long history, the university has undergone several name changes.  The following table details the various names Widener has held over the years as well as any significant organizational changes that occurred during each period.

Campuses
Widener consists of four campuses, the Main Campus in Chester, Pennsylvania, plus campuses in Wilmington, Delaware, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Exton, Pennsylvania.  Founded in 1866 after the school moved to Chester, the  main campus consists of over 100 buildings and serves all undergraduate day students as well as Continuing Studies, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) students, and graduate students.  Widener's graduate programs include business, education, engineering, nursing, social work, physical therapy, and clinical psychology.

The School of Law, which opened in 1976 on the Delaware Campus, consists of 16 buildings across  and is  from the Main Campus.  It contains the School of Law as well as the Legal Education Institute.  Some classes for Continuing Studies students and graduate business students are also held here.  The  Harrisburg Campus, opening in 1989, contains the Widener University Commonwealth Law School and has graduate programs in nursing and social work held there. In July 2015, Widener School of Law, which used to be one school sitting on the Delaware and Harrisburg campuses, split to become Widener University Delaware Law School in Wilmington and Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Harrisburg.

Starting in 2004, the Exton Campus was added to Widener's growing institution. It is located in a business park  from the Main Campus.  It primarily serves Continuing Studies students and contains Widener's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), which provides continuing education programs for retired adults.

Academics
Widener's academic offerings include over 50 undergraduate majors, 40 minors, and more than 30 graduate programs of study.  Widener has an undergraduate student to faculty ratio of 12:1 with 90% of the full-time faculty having doctorates or the highest degree in their field.  In addition, 60% of all classes contain less than 20 students.

Libraries and museums

The Wolfgram Memorial Library contains 242,000 volumes, 175,000 microfilms, 12,000 audio-visual materials and 1,960 serial subscriptions.

In 1979, Widener University leased and restored the Deshong Art Museum located on Edgemont Avenue in Chester.  The Deshong Art Museum was built in 1914 after the death of the art collector and wealthy industrialist Alfred O. Deshong left his trust and land to the city of Chester.  Deshong donated over 300 pieces of art to the museum including carved Japanese ivory figures, Chinese carved hard stone vessels and 19th century American and European paintings.

Over the years, the museum fell into disrepair and in July 1984 the trustees that managed the art museum dissolved the trust.  The Asian and impressionistic art collection were given to Widener University and are displayed in their permanent collection.

The PMC Museum highlights the legacy of the Pennsylvania Military Academy of Cadets with exhibits of sabres, uniforms, scrapbooks, newspapers and yearbooks.

Rankings and classifications
In 2013, Widener was named a finalist for the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll Presidential award – one of only 14 institutions in the nation to receive that honor. The university has made the honor roll every year since its inception in 2006. The 2018 Best Colleges list from U.S. News & World Report ranked Widener as tied for 192nd among 311 national universities, with a score of 32 out of 100.  It also ranked Widener's undergraduate engineering program 103rd among all 200 programs whose highest engineering degree is a bachelor's or master's.  Out of the 262 national universities ranked, Widener is 55th in the category "Highest Proportion of Classes Under 20 Students".  The 2008 U.S. News & World Report's Best Graduate Schools ranks several of Widener's graduate programs:
clinical psychology → #145,
health care management → #49,
nursing → #141,
physical therapy → #173,
and social work → #140.

Widener also reached the quarterfinals of the tournament in 2012 before losing to eventual NCAA D-III National Champion, Mount Union, by a lopsided 72–17 score.  In 2014, the team again won the MAC championship and eventually lost in the NCAA Division III tournament in the "Elite Eight" to Linfield by a score of 45–7.  Additionally, Widener football has won 17 MAC championships, the most of any team in the conference. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson played for Widener in the early 70s.  He went on to be an all-pro NFL player and was selected to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team as well as the College Football Hall of Fame.

The men's basketball team has won 15 MAC titles and appeared in the NCAA Division III Tournament 17 times, advancing to the "Sweet 16" in 1987 and 2006, the "Final 4" in 1985, and the championship game in 1978.  The men's lacrosse team has appeared in the NCAA Tournament 8 times since 2000 and has won 12 MAC titles since 1996.  The men's swimming team has won 12 MAC titles since 1994.

It houses a newly renovated  by 25 meter 10-lane competition swimming pool, squash/racquetball courts, and administrative offices for the athletic department.  Schwartz is also home to the new Wellness Center, opened in April 2006 to provide the faculty, staff, and students with additional recreational and fitness opportunities.  In addition to exercise equipment, the Wellness Center provides fitness classes and a  rock climbing wall.

Opening in 1994, Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium seats over 4,000 people and has a turf playing field surrounded by an 8-lane track.  The stadium houses the football, soccer, men's lacrosse, and outdoor track & field teams.  In addition, Edith R. Dixon Field, opening in 2005,  houses the women's field hockey and lacrosse teams.  It sports an artificial turf, lighting, and a scoreboard.  The field is also used for the intramural teams.

In Fall 2019, the Esports Arena in the basement of University Center opened for the inaugural season of the esports program. The arena includes 26 top-of-the-line gaming PCs and serves as both a practice and competition space for the athletes.

The Philadelphia Eagles held their summer training camp on Widener's campus between 1973 and 1979.  The 2006 movie Invincible depicts the campus during the Eagles' 1976 summer training camp.  Since 2006, the Philadelphia Soul have held practices at Widener as well.

Widener has several initiatives aimed at benefiting the surrounding community.  These include:
Pennsylvania Small Business Development Center — The school opened the center in 2006 to provide consulting and educational programs to local small businesses and entrepreneurs.  It is one of only 18 in the state and one of 3 in the Philadelphia region (with Temple University and University of Pennsylvania).
Philadelphia Speakers Series — Since 2004, Widener has sponsored this series which has had such notable speakers as Steve Wozniak, Henry Kissinger, Walter Cronkite and Dave Barry.
University Technology Park — A joint project started in 1999 between the university and Crozer-Keystone Health System to foster small business opportunities focusing on health care, science and technology.  It currently consists of two buildings (with three more planned) on  and is located directly in between the Main Campus and Crozer-Keystone Medical Center.
Widener University Observatory — The observatory has free public telescope viewings throughout the school year hosted by the physics and astronomy department.

Charter school
In 2006, the university established a new charter school near the Chester campus to serve local residents from kindergarten to grade 5.  Named the Widener Partnership Charter School, the school utilizes the university's programs in education, social work, nursing, and clinical psychology.  This collaboration involves the participation of Widener faculty and students to not only provide educational support but also provide additional assistance outside of school through counseling and health services.

Classes in the charter school started in September 2006, enrolling 50 students in both kindergarten and grade 1.  The school continued to add a new grade each year until grade 8 had been reached, surpassing the initial expectations of the project.

Chester revitalization project
A $50 million revitalization project was started in 2007. The project, named University Crossings, included the addition of a hotel, bookstore, coffee shop, restaurant, and apartments.  The project is expected to have an overall economic impact of $1 million to Chester, as well as creating 100 new jobs.

In 2017, Widener University purchased the Taylor Memorial Arboretum in Nether Providence Township about 1 mile north of the Chester campus.  The university purchased the site from BNY Mellon bank and plans to use the nature reserve for research and hands-on learning opportunities for citizen science projects.

Indiana has executed 151 prisoners, not counting five federal executions that occurred in Indiana in federal prison, including, most famously, in 2001 Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Moments prior to the execution, condemned personnel are asked for their final words. Since 1981, the Indiana State Prison has kept track of who said what.
Last words: "I don't hold no grudges. This is my doing. Sorry it happened."
Last meal: Pizza and soft drinks.
Last words: "I do not. I made one to my attorney." Earlier on the night of his execution, Resonover handed his attorney, Robert Hammerle, a three page statement that Hammerle released at his funeral. The statement read, in part: "As to the crime for which I have been put to death, I go to my grave an innocent man. I know that I am not being put to death for what I am supposed to have done 14 years ago, but rather for reasons of politics and the institutional racism in our society. (Resnover was black; his victim, Indianapolis police officer Jack Ohrberg, was white.) To Mrs. Ohrberg, a woman of great dignity, I am truly sorry for the agony that you have endured over the years. I hope that my death in some way helps you heal."
Last meal: Fried chicken, whipped potatoes, giblet gravy, Brussels sprouts, salad with French dressing, cranberry sauce, ice cream with chilled peaches, buttered dinner rolls, milk, sugar and coffee. Resnover declined the meal.
Last words: "Let evil prevail where a good man does nothing."
Last words: "Hopefully the Chambers family will find peace. James Thompson did not know what was going on. I wish the world well. Beam me up."
Last meal: Steak, lobster, salad with Thousand Island dressing and bleu cheese topping and two espressos.
Last words: "I'm ashamed of the way I lived my life and I pray God will forgive me. I hope the angels are flying close to the ground. I'm sorry I helped make the world the way it is today."
Last meal: Steak, lobster, shrimp cocktail, chicken livers, fried eggplant, meatballs, salad with blue cheese dressing, a loaf of bread, an entire Boston Cream Pie and three cans of Dr. Pepper.
Last words: "I'm not guilty, and I forgive those that are having to do this. I was of an unsound mind when I did it. I would like to let my mother know I forgive her and I love her."
Last meal: He appears to have two special meals, a breakfast consisting of pancakes, cereal, milk and coffee; and a lunch of turkey, beets, macaroni with tomato sauce and fried apples.
Last words: "I wish to apologize to the victim's family for the pain I have caused and for the pain I have caused for my family and friends, and I ask for their forgiveness. And I ask that the people who do this to me be forgiven."
Last meal:Chicken and dumplings and German ravioli with soda pops.
Last words:Did not make a final oral statement, did prepare a written statement to attorney: "I also want to apologize to my family and tell them how much I have appreciated their love and support. No one should have to endure the pain of seeing their loved ones murdered or killed for any reason. The Thompsons should have been allowed to live out their remaining years in peace and live with dignity."
Last meal: Did not ask for a special meal.
Last words: "I hope the victims' family sees some measure of satisfaction. Hopefully their grief will be OK."
Last meal: Did not want a last meal.
Last words: "My attorney has my last statement."
Last meal: Did not have one (however, according to an Indianapolis Star report Trueblood, with some family and friends and a priest, shared candy (Three Musketeers bars, bon bons), potato chips and Coke from a vending machine.
Last words: "I hope everyone can find peace with this."
Last meal: Filet mignon, baked potato, soup and chocolate truffle cake.
Last words: "Let's get this over with. Let's do it."
Last meal: Pizza, sub sandwiches and 12 sodas.
Last words: "Everyone has been professional."
Last meal: Barbecued ribs, pulled pork sampler, sauteed mushrooms and an Oreo pie.
Last words: "Everyone has to die sometimes. Let's get on with the killing."
Last meal: Four chili dogs, onion rings, banana split and an Oreo Blizzard.
Last words: "I love my family and my children, I'm sorry for the pain I caused them. I thank my friends who have stood by me, especially Pat and Rehanna and Beverly and Lois. I am sure my grandchildren will grow up healthy and happy in the care of their wonderful parents."
Last meal: Fried chicken with an extra order of spicy wings, corn on the cob, potato wedges, biscuits and a chocolate milkshake.
Last words: "Let's get it over with."
Last meal: Black bean soup, mushrooms Dijon, a blooming onion, salad, New York Steak, shrimp, chicken, baked potato, cheese cake and a Seven-up.
Last words: "Well I want everybody to know that I do have peace and that it's through Jesus Christ that I have this peace, and I want them to carry it on. I want them to have peace within themselves and that I want Juan's family to know I am truly sorry. I do have remorse. God be with everybody here."
Last meal: Pizza and R.C. Cola.
Last words: No final statement.
Last words: "Not at this time. Let's get it done, let's lock and load. It's plagiarized but what the hell."
Last meal: Prime rib with loaded baked potato, salad with ranch dressing, pork chops, steak fries and rolls.

Moments prior to the execution, condemned personnel are asked for their final words. Since 1981, the Indiana State Prison has kept track of who said what.
Indiana allows its condemned personnel to order huge and fancy take-out meals from area restaurants, up to $50 worth of food. The feast is, technically, no longer the last meal but instead is taken the night prior to the execution (a policy change stemming from the messy 1997 execution of Gary Burris, who had a full stomach), The Indiana State Prison has kept track of the condemned personnel orders since 1985.
Last words: "I do not. I made one to my attorney."

"Fifteen years ago I took the lives of people I loved, my wife, my friends. I did so after voluntarily taking drugs to the extent I became an addict of the worst kind. I caused enormous pain to many. I am not proud of the man I was. But I am no longer that man. In the past 15 years I have come to grips with the extent of the harm I caused. Although tonight I pay for my actions with my life, it has been the last 15 years that has been the true punishment. Living with the knowledge of the pain I caused was the severest punishment possible. Tonight my children lose their natural father. My friends lose me. My brothers grieve. More victims are created. As Albert Camus said: 'To kill a man in a paroxysm of passion is understandable. To have him killed by someone else after calm and serious mediation and on the pretext of duty honorably discharged is incomprehensible."
Last meal: Prime rib with loaded baked potato, salad with ranch dressing, pork chops, steak fries, rolls.

Recently there's been increase of online and distance courses, giving students the impression that they hold a proper qualification and they will be able to work as qualified personnel in the nursery or school.
The name of the courses can be very misleading for example; Level 3 Early Years, Diploma, Level 3 in Early Years, Early Years Qualification and so on. Many training providers are not telling the students the fact that the qualification does not provide a licence to practice. However, there are some that do inform the students, while others say that the qualification will assist with future employment prospects. This can be very misleading to those potential students.
Moreover there are now a number of childcare courses available, under recognised Ofqual body such as the NCFE Cache Level 3 Award in Childcare and Education, The Nursery Nurse Diploma and Child Care Level 3 which only provide a basic knowledge or foundation on early years. But also these courses DO NOT provide you with a license to practice.
Making it more confusing , Cache NCFE now also works with training centres who want to obtain certification from them, in order to recognise the standard and quality of their own unregulated and bespoke courses.
Currently, course providers are not required to state whether or not their course is full and relevant and that is where the problem lies. This is causing confusion with students, which many are fresh out of school and may not know to ask this crucial piece of information. And even the providers who clearly state that there course does not provide students a licence to practice, the complicated regulations in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) that relate to the ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as what a full and relevant qualification really means, is not clearly understood by those looking to move into the industry.
It is essential that the correct qualifications are held by all individuals who are going into early years roles, this means that they must hold a licence to practice – which is something received upon completing the correct qualification/s.
If you are unsure of the information which you have been provided remember to ask beforehand so you don't end up with the wrong qualification/s.

Book launch celebrates the life and work of Herman Daly
A highly anticipated book by York University Professor Emeritus Peter Victor titled Herman Daly's Economics for a Full World: His Life and Ideas is the first biography of Herman Daly that imparts important considerations on his extraordinary life and contributions to the field of ecological economics.
The book will launch with a virtual celebration on Nov. 24 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. GMT (2:30 to 4 p.m. EST), and the event is part of the 2021 Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Festival of Social Science, hosted by the University of Surrey in partnership with York University. Experts on economics and sustainability will participate as speakers, including Daly, Victor, Katherine Trebeck, Tim Jackson and York Professor Ellie Perkins.
Victor has expertise in ecological economics and sustainable development. He has worked for 50 years in Canada and abroad on economy and environment as an academic, consultant and public servant. His work on ecological economics has been recognized through the award of the Molson Prize in the Social Sciences by the Canada Council for the Arts in 2011, the Boulding Memorial Prize from the International Society for Ecological Economics in 2014, and his election to the Royal Society of Canada in 2015.
"Herman Daly's Economics for a Full World, based on his steady-stay economics, has been widely acknowledged through many prestigious awards and prizes. Drawing on extensive interviews with Daly, this biography presents a unique insight into his life from childhood to the present day," says Victor. "It also gives a comprehensive account of his foundational contributions to ecological economics and the extraordinary relevance of his full world economics to solving the economic problems of today and tomorrow."
Daly is an American ecological economist and professor emeritus at the School of Public Policy of the University of Maryland. He served with great effect as senior economist at the World Bank from 1988-94. In 1996, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for "defining a path of ecological economics that integrates the key elements of ethics, quality of life, environment and community."
This book launch is an opportunity to become familiar and inspired by the substantial contributions of Daly, a leading figure in ecological economics. York University is has partnered with the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP) for this event that brings leaders in ecological economics and well-being to a broad audience, including students and researchers in economics, environmental studies, environmental science, and public policy and to the public at large.

Cambridge UK, Thursday, June 1 – The latest version of SQL Prompt, the popular SQL formatting tool from Redgate Software, introduces a new feature that can reformat SQL code to a preferred style in one click. It means developers can write code in their own style and then switch it to their company-wide style to share it, making true collaboration and standardization possible instantly.
SQL Prompt is already the industry-standard tool for writing, formatting and refactoring SQL Code in both SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and Visual Studio (VS). Using IntelliSense-style code completion, it strips away the repetition of coding, allows users to share frequently used snippets of SQL, and dramatically reduces the time required to write SQL.
The new formatting engine in SQL Prompt v8 lets users create, share and save multiple code formatting styles, switch effortlessly between them, and try out new styles created by others in either SSMS or VS.
The need for the formatting feature, which has been one of the most widely requested improvements to SQL Prompt, is a reflection of the ongoing debate on how T-SQL code should be used in SQL Server environments.
Opinions vary wildly on capitalization, how objects are referenced, spacing and aligning, text coloring, and even commas and semi-colons. This in turn leads to database developers and Database Administrators (DBAs) having many different coding rules and styles. As a direct consequence, developers often have to work with code that – for them – is difficult to read and understand, which slows work down and can introduce errors into the code.
SQL Prompt v8 removes that barrier by giving developers and DBAs the welcome option to choose their preferred style in, literally, one click.

Amazon Screens Film Shot in Graveyard Where 6,000 People Live
12 Minute Film Was Shot With Female and Male Co-Directors 7,200 Miles Apart
Tombstone Pillow is a short film shot in a graveyard in the Philippines where 6,000 people literally sleep on gravestones, with tombstones for pillows – hence the title. After a hugely successful film festival run, the mostly English language film that takes on socially relevant subjects like wealth inequality and the right to food and shelter for all, has now been accepted by Amazon for broadcast by the streaming giant through Bounty Films.
The film was directed by Dreamteam Directors, Bayou Bennett and Daniel Lir, while Bayou was at home in Hollywood and Daniel was in the graveyard in Manila. As a female director and mother of a young boy, Bayou had to struggle with time differences meaning she was awake until 7 am many mornings, dealing with actors and crew on the other side of the planet.
Due to the heartbreaking subject of this narrative short film, as well as it being selected from fierce competition to both Oscar and BAFTA qualifying film festivals, it's also been an award-winner at prestigious competitions such as the Global Short Film Awards (where it earned the 2020 awards for Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography and was included in the GSF Awards Cinando offerings), and is currently a Finalist in competitions in Venice, NY and Hollywood.
The film, which follows a wealthy widow (Lou Baron) helped to flee an angry mob by a poor graveyard girl (Kendra De Mesa) who teaches her what has real value in life, was shot and produced by the same team who made Birdshot, the Oscar entry for The Philippines in 2018.

The way to calculate the weight of each configuration is to use restrictions in the operator. An operator can be restricted to certain occupations of given orbitals. The notation used is the same as the restrictions set for the calculation of the ground-state or spectra.
You can find more information on this feature in the documentation on Operators and setting restrictions.
The way to go is to define the identity operator and restrict it to a given configuration. For example the $d^9$ configuration. If you act then with this operator on a state all determinants that do not have 9 electrons in the d shell will be removed and the expectation value of this operator will be the weight of the $d^9$ configuration.
You can see operators with restrictions in action in the example where we calculate partial XAS spectra.

git gud.
A concept that I both love and hate that comes from one Mr. Sean McCabe is the idea of "Show Up Every Day for Two Years".
Simply to say that to anyone provides a filter to tell you how much someone cares about something. The message is applicable to anyone in any circumstance where your efforts have to be sustained and consistent over a period of time in order to se the results you want out of a pursuit.
To illustrate git gud, please consider a character I have managed to draw annually by accident over the course of 8 years, Sophie. (there's text after the pictures, don't forget to read it)
2021 (early)
2021 (late)
How long does it take to git gud?
That's a sensible question to ask, and I don't blame you for wondering that.
It can be easy to gloss over the fact that accomplishing anything meaningful takes a lot of sustained time and effort. As it stands, I've been drawing for 11 years and I'm still not really in the spot that I'd like to be.
Part of that is because of a lack fo clear goals, and part of that is because of a lack of enough sustained effort.
Choose concrete things to git gud at.
You have to know where you wanna go. There's a hard success metric for literally anything you want to do.
Do you want to speed run games? Cool. Which ones do you want to play, how do you want to define your finish, how deep do you want to understand a game?
Do you want to be fitter or lift more? Cool. What do you want your physique to look like, what kind of exercises will sculpt your body the way you like, just how much weight do you want to be able to lift?
Do you want to make the world better? Cool. What way in which do you want to improve the world, what knowledge and effort does that require, and how are you going to concretely accomplish that in a manner that you yourself can achieve?
Commit to git gud.
Because it is a commitment.
You will not git gud instantly, whatever it is you chose to git gud at will likely or definitely take persistent effort over a long span of time.
Concentrated effort will git you gud faster. But whether you get your mileage in all at once, or have to span it out, you will only git gud with consistency over time, whether it is lifting, crafting, or doing any kind of work of meaningful change.
There are nine pictures in the timeline I presented above, and those nine pictures don't include the time of study, critical analysis, and practice involved in producing pictures of any reasonable degree of aesthetic value. More painful yet, these pictures only represent a practice of the discipline of character drawing. This is without any meaningful practice of the art of environmental drawing, whether small or great, indoor or outdoor. I may have a whole other set of years that I have to spend on the art of drawing places to put people and things in.
And I'm okay with that. And you ought to be okay with it too.
If you care enough to spend two years to git gud, you'll be okay for the really long run.
When Sean talks about "Show Up Every Day for Two Years", he often qualifies that statement. It's not that two years of daily sustained effort magically grant you everything that you want, it's that being able to be tenacious for two years will help you understand how to be tenacious for as long as you need to be for whatever you need.
It also serves as a filter. If you just can't flat stand the idea of doing something for all two of those years, you'll have learned that you should probably do something else, and you'll have whatever practice you already did as a new component of your foundation as a person, professional, or craftsman.
Honestly to git gud at anything, you just have to care enough to keep doing it. That's honestly all it is. And the more you work, the more you try, the better you get.
