Party politics if played well with utmost transparency, openness and fairness will serve as the unshakable and unbreakable unifying backbone of that party.
All People's Congress APC rode the power by following the simple universal rule of transparency, and fairness during its internal party politics. The result was a wave of successes and accomplishments.
While the ruling party as of that time the People's Democratic Party PDP embarked on internal party politics that was brutal, one-sided, and dictatorial which cost them the election.
It was unbelievable to finally saw that the one party that believed in openness, transparency and fairness is now at the verge of destroying that simple universal fundamental principle. The just concluded APC primary election for the upcoming by-election come 20th of May 2017 was one-sided, dictatorial and derailed from the norms and values of APC party as a whole.
Looking at the contenders for the primary election with peculiar attention to Muhammed Auwal [Ammasco] and Mansur Ali Mashi whom were the leading favorites until dirty internal party politics storm in and forcefully swept delegates off from doing what their electorates wants.
Muhammed Ammasco loved by the people of Mashi/Dutsi, he took time to interact positively with the people, his success rating was high, he has convinced and gathered enough delegates to clinch the ticket until Katsina APC stakeholders and top government officials stormed the arena, their presence alone, subconsciously has detrimental effects to delegates.
The not so popular Mansur Mashi who is the current SA to Katsina state Governor on Radio monitoring who's approval rating was low especially in Dusti LG had to get the support of top Govt officials and other party stakeholders who collectively connived and battle the mighty visionary Ammasco who had NO one but the electorates of Mashi, who has No one but a determined mind with a laid plan to uplift the people of his constituency.
The people of Mashi/Dutsi wanted Ammasco but APC systematically gave them Masur Mashi even though the delegates were somehow pushed so hard to vote for Mansur Mashi, it is very uncertain if the people will accept Mansur at the polls which they will be left with No option than to vote for PDP.
For APC Transparency, openness and fairness is still the ANSWER.

Trends & Indicators 2010: Financing Higher Education
New England claims many of the largest college endowments on earth, but even the titans have been beaten and bruised by the current deep recession.
New England has the dubious distinction of some of America's smallest state appropriations and highest tuitions and fees for public colleges and universities. Education advocates joke about the region's public campuses going from state-operated to state-assisted to state-harassed.
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have historically ranked at the bottom of all U.S. states in per-capita state appropriations for higher education. Only 14% of the University of Massachusetts system's budget is supported by the state, compared with 18% through tuition and fees, marking the first time students and families contributed a higher percentage of the budget than the state. The same is true at Connecticut public campuses, where for the first time tuition and fees will cover more than state appropriations.

In practice, at Sanger we haven't made very heavy use of the ability of Debian to upgrade from release to release.  We use FAI to install the boxes, so frankly it's faster and less hassle to just reinstall them from scratch when the next release comes out.
For some complicated bespoke systems, I have done the manual upgrade, and I've even done that across debian-derived distros.
Gotta love sed for resulting in completely impenetrable commands.  I did try to do it in a more readable way using the python APT bindings, but that was actually much harder.

I've created a macro that I would like to run at a scheduled interval, e.g. every 15 min.
Is there a way to schedule a macro to run?
There isn't a way to do that natively.
However, there may be a way using one of the scripting plugins, like PythonScript (or the others listed below). The PythonScript help lists the various notification signals that you can trap for a callback, but I didn't see any that appeared to be timer-based – though I may have missed one.
As an alternative, I am sure that Python or Lua (the programming languages, independent of the PythonScript or LuaScript plugins) have some manner of setting and handling timer-based alarms. During your startup (for PythonScript, use the startup.py), set an alarm; when the alarm is handled, have it use notepad.runMenuCommand() (or equivalent) to call the macro, and then have it schedule itself (set the alarm) again. I don't know enough Python (or Lua) to work up an example for you, sorry.
I will have to dig through PythonScript when I get some time.
In the mean time, I use Windows and someone suggested using Windows Task Scheduler. Any idea what file or script I would have it call to run the macro?
you cannot use task scheduler to start a specific macro within notepad++(npp).
Task scheduler can only be used to start programs like npp.
May I ask you what exactly you try to do with the macro? Maybe there is a "better" way doing it.
Any thoughts on how to resolve that?
For help on this command, which replaces, the old at command, type in schtasks /?
mettre fin à des tâches planifiées sur un système local ou distant. Remplace AT.exe.
/Create         Crée une nouvelle tâche planifiée.
/Delete         Supprime les tâches planifiées.
/Query          Affiche toutes les tâches planifiées.
/Change         Modifie les propriétés d'une tâche planifiée.
/Run            Exécute la tâche planifiée immédiatement.
/End            Arrête la tâche planifiée actuellement en cours d'exécution.
/?                             Affiche cet écran d'aide.
Well, now the deal is how to connect that stuff with the action of running a macro from within N++ ;-)) Not tried, yet !
For my setup, I put that line in my startup.py (which runs upon Notepad++/Pythonscript-plugin startup, hence its name), so I don't have to put that in my individual script files (but you can do it that way).
Download and install my NppUISpy plugin. Follow the instructions for its manual installation.
Download the tool NirCmd (scroll down to the end of the text to find the download links) and unpack the zip file to a directory where you have write access.
Start Notepad++, go to Plugins menu and launch the NppUISpy plugin by clicking on its Spy! menu entry.
In the left pane of the plugin's UI go to the tree node of the Macro menu and open it by clicking on the small + sign to its left. Find the entry of the macro you want to start and remember the related number in the Command Id column. Please note: The tree items respond to mouse clicks and make Notepad++ to execute the related command. Maybe you prefer to click only on the tree lines at the left and the small + signs to prevent that. The toolbar button items in the right pane respond to mouse clicks as well.
Start a console window and navigate to the directory where you have unpacked NirCmd.
Type the following command: nircmdc win postmsg ititle "Notepad++" 2072 0 XXXXX where XXXXX is the number you remembered in step 4.
The command of step 6 can be put into a batch file which in turn can be executed by a scheduled task.
Curious, though, why did you say "(though unnecessary)"…?
Because you have already posted a (I guess) working Python solution.
Does the "spy" plugin take a large amount of time to initialize when it starts up? I added it to my setup and it seems to have some odd interactions with some of my Pythonscript stuff that runs on startup. I haven't investigated further yet but the first thing I noticed is that it seems to take longer now for my Notepad++ to get to a "ready for editing" state.
Hmm, the plugin itself does nearly nothing when it is loaded, it only adds its menu entries to the Notepad++ UI. Only when you click on the Spy! menu entry it examines the main menu and the toolbar of Notepad++ and fills its trees. All these data gets thrown away when you close the dialog.
But it is a Delphi application and as such it incorporates the needed parts of the VCL (Visual Component Library), the abstraction layer of Delphi for the Win32 API. In this context it loads a noticeable amount of Windows DLL files. Maybe this causes the increased load time.
I have installed about to 45 plugins, thus my Notepad++ needs some time to start up anyway and I was not aware of an increased load time after adding the new plugin.


Review: H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar | Watchfinder & Co.
I'll get right to it: this is perhaps the cleverest watch I have ever seen. No exaggeration. There are more complicated, more technically advanced, more expensive watches out there, but for sheer engineering brilliance, this one takes the crown. Welcome to the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar.
To fully appreciate what H. Moser and Cie have done here, it pays to take a look at the tradition of the perpetual calendar complication—and indeed, the calendar itself. It would be nice if, like any other metric unit, time could be split into a uniform decimal system—but that's far from the case.
Historically, calendars have always been based around some kind of astronomical passage, such as the cycles of the sun and the moon, and the subsequent passing of the seasons. Early Roman calendars were actually broken into ten months, following the phases of the moon, with the last month, February, shorter to keep the months correctly synchronised.
Rather embarrassingly for an empire the size of the Romans', this system had drifted so wildly that January had fallen into the middle of autumn. So, the senate introduced a new month, July, named after the current emperor, Julius Caesar. Then came August, named after Julius' grandnephew, Augustus, and an extra day was added to both.
The last thing the Romans did for the calendar was to introduce the leap year. One orbit of the Earth around the Sun is 365 and a quarter days, and so every four years another day was added to compensate. Although, to be precise, the length of a year is actually 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9 seconds, slightly more than a quarter, so it was also decreed that the leap year every 100 years be skipped. But this still wasn't accurate enough for Pope Gregory XIII, who noted that Easter was drifting from the spring equinox, and so he duly added a leap year back on to every 400th year.
This mess is the headache watchmakers have had to work with in creating the perpetual calendar complication. Irregularly varying months is one problem, but irregularly varying years is another thing altogether. A perpetual calendar needs to account for precisely 1,461 days to work properly.
Not so much of a problem inside a roomy clock, but squeezing all this into a watch is, as you can imagine, something of a challenge, one first met by Englishman Thomas Mudge in 1762. The watch, incredibly, survives to this day, and it's unrecognisable by modern standards, adopting multiple rotating discs with which to display the various elements of the calendar.
Jump ahead to the first ever perpetual calendar wristwatch, a 1925 Patek Philippe, and the complication is shrunk even further. It had taken Patek Philippe 25 years to perfect the perpetual calendar, even within a pocket watch, over a century after Mudge's. Patek Philippe's wristwatch actually used a lady's pendant watch movement developed several decades before, the wristwatch not quite yet adopted into men's fashion.
What that watch gave us was the contemporary perpetual calendar layout, days and months indicated by hands on sub dials. Breguet followed in 1936 with the first perpetual calendar movement built specifically for a watch, and IWC some decades later in 1985 with a perpetual calendar movement that could be adjusted just through the crown, and not with multiple hidden pushers. So, what has H. Moser & Cie. done, after all these years, to revolutionise the perpetual calendar further?
What is immediately apparent with H. Moser & Cie.'s Endeavour Perpetual Calendar is that it looks nothing at all like a perpetual calendar. You've got hours, you've minutes, you've got seconds, there's a date and there's a power reserve indicator—the in-house calibre HMC 341 is hand-wound after all—and that's your lot.
If you're familiar with perpetual calendars from the likes of Patek Philippe and Breguet, you'll know that spartan is one thing they're not. Yet here the H. Moser & Cie. could quite easily pass as a simple watch. But it's not. It's really, really not.
Think about the calendar for a minute, about the butchery that turned it into the mess it is today: it boils down to irregular months and irregular years, at least, that's about the gist of it. You know those little brass paperweights with the disks you can turn to work out the date? All you need to use them is the year and the month. If you can figure those out, then you'll be able to figure out the date. So, that's what H. Moser & Cie. has done.
Look closely at the centre of the dial and you'll spy a stubby little hand sprouting out from underneath the hours and minutes. That's your month hand. Makes sense—twelve hours, twelve months. Point the hand at the corresponding hour, January starting at one and so on, and that's the month set.
How about the year, or rather, the leap year? With one out of every four years being a day longer—except that one pesky leap year every 100 years that's skipped, the next being the year 2100, watchmakers can do nothing about that—it's just the fourth year that's different, and so it's as simple as telling the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar where in that four-year cycle you are. Flip the watch over, press the hidden pusher, and watch the leap year disk rotate until it's correctly aligned.
All that remains to do is to set the date in the normal way, and then it's complete; every passing month will display the correct number of days, including on leap years, switching to the next on cue.
But it gets even better still. The big bugbear with perpetual calendars has always been the complexity of resetting it when you've gone too far. With a classic perpetual calendar, you have to cycle through the hidden pushers until the date or month comes back around, and with IWC's crown-only perpetual calendar, you have to let it run down and wait for time to catch up—but with this, you simply wind the crown backwards. It's so simple, so clever. No fuss. I honestly can't believe it's never been done before.
The simplicity and logic of this watch, after being accustomed to a traditional perpetual calendar watch for so long, is like a slap in the face. It's like finding out you've been doing a simple task like walking wrong all these years. You blink a bit, taking in this new information as everything you thought you knew crumbles around you. It's this kind of ingenuity that we live for, moments that stun us into silence—and this just might be the best of all of them.

Let's me tell you what I've learned regarding that issue. To be honest with you, it's an issue that I'm struggling and guilty of as someone who's currently playing piano in my local church. Oftentimes, when playing the piano, I've found myself totally disconnected with God as a result of my mind and heart not being set on Him. The main reason has to do with the fact that I've found myself a lot more concerned about how people will perceive my performance.
At the end of the service, I'm expecting for some people to come around and congratulate me. As I was pondering on my responsibilities toward God, one thing that came into my mind is that glorifying God has absolutely nothing to do with being concerned with regard to how people will react as a result of what I've done for God. Glorifying God is centered upon how God sees me in relation to which priority I give Him while carrying out His tasks.
Bear in mind, no matter how hard we may try in our human ability, we'll never be able to satisfy everybody. In that case, our goal must be aimed at ensuring that God is the One who is both pleased and glorified by dedicating ourselves to Him through the means of setting our minds and hearts totally on Him. When we act in such fashion, we allow God to use our performance and turn it into a blessing to others. So, let's try to meditate on Christ's own viewpoint regarding the issue of glorifying God.
Jesus replied, "If I glorify Myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the One who glorifies Me (John 8:54).
Humility is the essence of glorifying God. We don't look at it in the sense of what we can do in order to get some sort of attention that will serve us absolutely no purpose, but we look at it in the context of making sure that God is the One who gets all the glory and attention. Since it's not about us, we must take ourselves completely out of the picture, so that God can have His ways.
In short, we're God's own instrument; thus, our responsibility is to let God to make use of us however He likes by laying aside our own selfish agenda. When we conduct ourselves in such manner, God is glorified because it becomes all about Him instead of us. Let's follow the selfless life that Jesus lived that was based wholly on bringing glory to God the Father.

During the school year, Scout and Jem find gifts in the hole of a tree on the Radley Place property. And when Dill comes back to visit, the three decide to act out stories about Boo Radley, only to later be reprimanded by Atticus.

Q: Specifying grid column/row size in tailwindcss I would like to create a grid with tailwind css where the first column is very narrow and the second one is very wide. Normally I find the tailwind docs very intuitive but I'm not understanding this one. Using grid-cols-{n} I can create equally sized columns but I don't understand how to make differently sized columns. How can I go about this?

A: If you want create columns with different widths then it will be an implicitly-created grid.

Hello 1

Hello 2

Hello 3

https://play.tailwindcss.com/7XjBZDzwml
This is the relevant documentation here:
https://tailwindcss.com/docs/grid-auto-columns
And it explains how you can customize your theme if needed too.

A: Here's an example of a 2 column grid where the first column is narrow, and the second one is not:

Column 1

Column 2

Tailwind play: https://play.tailwindcss.com/FTLi83L5zI
I'll assume that's not what you want as it's not 100% clear from your question. So here's a different example using a 12 column grid, you can span multiple columns to achieve something along the lines of what you are asking for:

Col

Col

Col

Col

Col

Col

Col

Col

Tailwind play: https://play.tailwindcss.com/XtUOu2cDD9
Finally, you could also do this:

Col

Col

Tailwind play: https://play.tailwindcss.com/bAnPhCdNfc

A: In the end the way I did it was:
grid grid-cols-[2rem,8fr]

Which creates a grid with 2 columns one, the first one 2rems wide the second one being 8fr wide

The Yahoo board of directors will meet this week to determine the fate of the flailing company. And one of the options on the table is for Yahoo to sell off its core assets—online services like Yahoo.com and Yahoo Mail—and effectively end the 20-year-run of the one-time Internet powerhouse.
News of the meeting—and its stunning possible outcome—comes via several reports, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Reuters, each of which credits its own sources. Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain: The Yahoo board is no longer certain that Marissa Mayer can turn things around.
The issue for Yahoo is simple. It had planned to sell off its stake in the China-based e-commerce giant Alibaba, but that holding is by far its biggest asset, with an estimated value of $30 billion. But Yahoo's market capitalization is just $31 billion. So when you factor in Yahoo's 35 percent stake in Yahoo Japan, which is now worth about $8.5 billion, and about $5.9 billion in cash assets, that means its core business is currently valued at less than zero.
(An October 2015 Cantor Fitzgerald research report valued Yahoo's core business at $3.9 billion, The Wall Street Journal says.)
Complicating matters, Yahoo had not expected to pay taxes on the approximately $23 billion in would have netted in selling off its Alibaba stake. But the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in September warned the company that it would not approve such a transaction, and that Yahoo was instead liable for several billion dollars in taxes should it sell-off the Alibaba stake. Yahoo had previously said it expected a "favorable ruling" on its tax-free transaction request.
So the Yahoo board now faces some hard choices.
On the one hand, its core online services are still among the most-visited Internet properties, and are collectively third behind Google and Facebook. Those visitors haven't translated into much revenue for Yahoo. But a larger buyer (like Microsoft) could potentially roll them into its own services. And a smaller buyer could try to make a go with the services as-is.
But Yahoo's services are shrinking, and with recent failures in online video, advertising, and mobile apps, Yahoo is essentially managing older businesses that exist on inertia alone. CEO Marissa Mayer said in October that she would "reset" the company's focus. But nothing has worked so far, and time could be running out.
Microsoft, of course, had tried to acquire all of Yahoo back in 2008, for almost $45 billion. That purchase would clearly have been the biggest mistake in its corporate history and would have far exceeded other disasters like Nokia ($7.2 billion). That said, it's not clear if some of Microsoft's more recent bone-headed decisions would have occurred in the wake of a Yahoo debacle.
It's odd to look back on this, but Microsoft's attempt to buy Yahoo was an unsolicited, hostile takeover aimed at shareholders, and it came about because previous, and friendlier, negotiations had failed. Yahoo's management at the time—including co-founder Jerry Yang—wrongheadedly thought the firm would be better off on its own. And they won. As a result, Yahoo has been circling the drain ever since.
Today, Microsoft could acquire Yahoo's core businesses for much, much less. But even at a reduced price—$3.9 billion, let's say—these services don't offer much value beyond a few hundred million users, many of whom are probably Microsoft customers already as well. And that's the problem for Yahoo, in a nutshell: That audience should be worth something. But to the bigger players who might consider such a purchase, they're really not worth that much at all.
For much of this year, Marissa Mayer and Yahoo have been in the news because of the firm's indecision around which kind of company it wanted to be, an online services firm or a content firm. Now, it appears none of that matters. What it really is, is a takeover target. And one whose value is shrinking by the day.

Adlib was delighted to win the contract to provide a full audio-visual solution for the 2018 International Business Festival (IBF), staged at the Exhibition Centre, Liverpool, UK. Adlib had to provide systems and technicians to cater for five diverse environments – the "Futures" main conference; the very popular "Knowledge Hub" stage; the "Next Generation" zone plus the lounge and entrance areas. The Futures Stage featured a 6-metre wide by 3.5-metre-tall Absen A3 video wall, complete with playback via one of Adlib's custom QLab / PlaybackPro systems, supported by Panasonic remote-controlled cameras. Crisp, clean high clarity audio was delivered by a flown Coda ViRAY system with Coda TiRAY delays and a DiGiCo SD9 mixing console at the heart of the system. Twelve generic profile luminaires were used to light the stage and for key lighting for presenters and guests, while eight new Claypaky Axcor Profile 900 LED moving lights provided atmospherics and many additional subtle visual effects like variations in colouring and texturing. The Knowledge Hub featured a Panasonic PT-RZ970 projector fitted with an ultrashort throw lens, rear-projecting onto a Stumpfl screen. For the lighting aspect, ARRI 300 Plus and 650 Plus fresnels on Avenger flag stands brought a flourish of TV studio style, and the PA was a precisely positioned and angled K-array Python passive speaker system, picked for its elegant appearance and sonic clarity. The Next Generation was a vibrant and animated youth educational area, kitted out with 55" TVs and an Adlib AA81 audio system geared for presenters / speakers and music. The Connections Lounge and entrance corridor also hosted smaller presentation areas that required background music systems together with some straightforward but versatile moving light treatment which could be varied if needed. The first item of technology greeting delegates and the public after registration was a 10-metre wide by 3-metre-high curved video wall welcoming everyone to the Festival, which was made up from Adlib's new Unilumin Upad III H5 LED, which looked stunning.Adlib also provided rigging, motors and trussing, plus lighting, PA and techs to live event and experiential specialists Innovision, for their 'Britain is Great' stand in the expo section of the venue.


In 2016, the woman hair extension segment generated the highest revenue share of the global hair extension market. Among major regions, North America was the highest revenue generating market in 2016.
Generally, females use hair extensions in order to add volume, with various other reasons for wearing them such as, for looking more glamorous, bringing a change to their style quickly and the fact that extensions are easily available. Hair extensions are now worn as an accessory and have become a part of a woman's personality or more like another form of an artistic express of themselves. In females, girls adore hair extensions for instant makeovers with added texture, length, fantasy hair color, highlights and style. In case of teens, they usually prefer temporary clip-ons, hair pieces and permanent hair extensions. The segment held more than 80% of the global hair extension market.
A fast growth of the market for human hair extensions is contributing to the expansion of the global hair extension market. Growing popularity of human hair extensions has led to an increase in the wholesale price of human hair which got tripled in last ten years. It is expected that in next five years human hair extensions would become increasingly popular given their natural looking properties and this market would grow at significant growth rate of around 5.7%.
Synthetic hair are less costly as compared to human hair. Because of their low cost synthetic hair extensions have rapidly penetrated in the low to middle income group customers. It is expected that this category of extensions would dominate the middle and low-income consumer groups.
The North America hair extension market is growing at an astonishingly rapid rate since last few years. Europe is expected to follow the North America hair extension market holding more than 30% of the global market.
Women hair extensions hold a considerably large share of the global market owing to increasing concerns regarding looks.
Human hair extensions expected to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period.
Europe is expected to follow the North America hair extension market holding more than 30% of the global market.
Product launch and product enhancement have emerged out as the key strategies adopted by the major market players all over the globe. Some major market players are Great Lengths, Balmain, Hair Dreams, Easihair, Socap, Bona Bella, Cinderella Hair, Hairlocs and others.

Q: how to display contents of list in single messageBox I am comparing a list of strings with a reference list and storing the strings which are different from the reference list in another list. Now how can i display all the contents of new list using C# coding.
Please help me.

A: The simplest option would be to just create a large string with one line per item in the list:
  var newLineSepratedString = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, myListOfStrings);

This can then be used as the message in your messageBox, or concatenated to some description.
Note that this works fine if the list is small. If you try to display to many items your messagebox will start to become larger than your screen, and that is just not useful. If you need to handle larger sections of text you should create your own dialog with a textbox that can be scrolled.

A: You only have to build a string with all the list items. Then, you can put this new string into the MessageBox:
List<string> list = new List<string>()
{
    "Item 1",
    "Item 2",
    "Item 3"
};

string allItems = string.Empty;

foreach (string item in list)
{
    if (allItems.Length > 0)
    {
    allItems += "\n";
    }
    else { } //TODO Nothing

    allItems += item;
}

MessageBox.Show($"My Items:\n{allItems}", "Items", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

This will print all items one down last one.

Islam, Islamophobia, Christophobia, and Jew hatred
By Eugene Veklerov
Here is a reality check to keep in mind when someone issues another condemnation of Islamophobia in the Western World. Surely, we have plenty of room for improvement, but we are pikers at the game of religious discrimination.
In many Muslim countries, discrimination against Christians and Jews is not just practiced, it is codified into law. Thus, consider Egypt, which is one of the more secular and moderate countries in the Muslim World with a sizable religious minority of Coptic Christians. Egyptian law stipulates that a "Muslim man may marry a Christian woman but the opposite is forbidden; and if a Muslim woman does marry a Christian man, both the husband and the wife would be considered adulterers". This quotation is drawn verbatim from a UN document.
It is noteworthy that civil, rather than just religious, laws prevent Christian men from marrying Muslim women. Marrying an Israeli woman is an entirely different matter altogether. "An Egyptian appeals court upheld a ruling that orders the country's Interior Ministry to strip the citizenship from Egyptians married to Israeli women" (Associated Press report of June, 2010).
While conversion to Islam is encouraged in Muslim countries, conversion from Islam to another religion is a sin. And since the legal systems in many Muslim countries are based on Sharia law, such apostasy is also a crime, and we are not talking about the most fanatical countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia or Sudan. In a widely publicized case, a citizen of now-democratic Afghanistan, Abdul Rahman, was arrested in 2006 for converting to Christianity. He was threatened with execution but eventually he was released from prison under heavy pressure from Western governments.
A curious piece of trivia in Harper's index style: the approximate number of mosques in New York City: 80; the approximate number of mosques in Jerusalem: 70; the number of churches and synagogues in whole Saudi Arabia: 0. Furthermore, Christians in Saudi Arabia have been arrested and lashed in public for practicing their faith openly. We do not know what punishment is meted out to those who openly practice the Jewish faith in Saudi Arabia. But this is what we do know, courtesy of a Reuters report in 2005. A court in Saudi Arabia sentenced a teacher to 40 months in jail and 750 lashes. His crime was promoting a "dubious ideology, mocking religion, saying the Jews were right".
Amnesty International and the UN officially have confirmed cases of slavery in Mauritania and Sudan. Who are the slaves? In Sudan, the slaves are usually non-Muslims and slavers are Muslims.
My friendly neighbor is a Palestinian man who moved to California a few years ago and he had it made: he bought a house and a small grocery store here. In his native land, the moderate Palestinian Authority (mind you, not fanatical Hamas) considers selling real estate in the areas under its control to Jews or Israelis "high treason" punishable by death.
The examples given above are not meant as a comprehensive scholarly treatment of the subject. But they give the reader a taste of reality. A quote from the Sermon on the Mount (Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 7) pretty much sums it up: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


First U.S. operating room cockpit will bring advanced metrics to physicians during surgery to help prevent infections.
Opportunity drives everything Skytron does as a medical device manufacturer/distributor, according to its CEO.
Dave Mehney, son of the Grand Rapids-based company's founder David P. Mehney, leads the organization with operations throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
Skytron employs 115 people in West Michigan and had revenue of $150 million in 2016, as well as in 2015.
The company, which was named West Michigan's World Trader of the Year in 2014, owns several medical device manufacturers and is a distributor to hospital customers all over the world.
Mehney said in an industry where rapid change is the norm, Skytron's product management team scouts what's new and what's next.
In addition to acquiring products that fit into its existing lines — such as surgical tables, lights, booms and sterilizers — Skytron looks for differentiators.
One of the newest products in Skytron's portfolio is called The OR Cockpit. It is the first of its kind in the U.S., thanks to Dutch software company NewCompliance.
"The OR Cockpit is basically a measurement tool where it will display metrics, such as the number of (operating room) door openings during surgery or the time spent from anesthesia to initial incision, to help with infection prevention by giving measurements to the team to help improve performance," Mehney said.
He said the product's U.S. debut with Skytron stemmed from Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima's 2015 visit to West Michigan.
Representatives from approximately 50 Dutch-headquartered companies accompanied the royal couple.
Paul Heule is a principal at Eenhoorn, Honorary Dutch Consul of West Michigan and founder of West Michigan Global Initiative, formed in 2010 to create business connections between West Michigan and the Netherlands. Heule asked Mehney to host the Dutch business leaders at Skytron during their visit.
"I came in and did a presentation, gave a tour of Skytron, and afterward in a Q&A, one person said she doesn't have a product for us, but she has a friend that does," Mehney said.
"Now we are offering (The OR Cockpit) exclusively in the U.S.," he said.
Skytron is in talks with potential customers for The OR Cockpit, including Mercy Health Saint Mary's, though no deal has been finalized.
Mehney said Skytron will hold off for now on pitching the product to West Michigan's largest health system, Spectrum Health, as the cockpit requires IT support that the hospitals currently are using for a data migration project.
"With Spectrum, we're not going to bring it up until they're done moving electronic medical records to Epic through the NEXUS project," Mehney said.
Other product investments Skytron has made recently include changes in its SkyVision video integration technology — which is equipment that allows touchscreen management of clinical visual information during surgery.
Skytron has offered video integration technology since 2004, but streaming is the most recent update to the software.
He said every product category Skytron offers has something new every year, so the company is used to the race for new technologies. But filling orders can be a challenge as health systems continue to consolidate.
He said the consolidation brings two main challenges for Skytron.
As a result, he said Skytron has to work harder on communicating how its products can help create system-wide efficiencies.

Aishwarya Rai Lauds Rouble Nagi For Beautifying City
By: Raman | May 9, 2017
Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on Monday inaugurated artist-social activist Rouble Nagi's sculpture titled "The Paradise Garden" and thanked the activist for beautifying the city.
"We are thankful to Rouble as she is making your city more beautiful and as a Mumbaikar, I am too happy to join this ongoing movement to beautify our city and have art installations," said Aishwarya.
"Art is not just for the exclusive section of society, it has to be enjoyed by all. In fact, art becomes artwork with increased audience's appreciation," she added.
The Paradise Garden sculpture is installed opposite Mehboob Studio, Bandra, and Aishwarya says that she has a special connection with the place. "This is a special place, as I have lived in Bandra till I got married and Mehboob Studio is the place where I have done lots of work."
Rouble told the media: "Public art has the power to energise our public spaces, arouse our thinking and transform the places where we live, work and play into more welcoming, beautiful and interactive communities."
"Public art isn't just art for the wealthy or those inclined to visit museums and gallery shows; it is art for everyone. As an artist, I seek solace and inspiration in nature. Nature and art are inseparably linked. Nowhere can we find as much inspiration, peace and solace as in nature," she further said.
Poonam Mahajan, the MP from Mumbai North-Central, was also present at the inauguration ceremony.

Russian Navy second project 23120 combat logistics ship floated in Petersburg
Posted On Wednesday, 16 November 2016 09:19
Naval Forces News - Russia
The Vsevolod Bobrov combat logistics ship became the second vessel of project 23120 to be floated by the Northern Shipyard in St. Petersburg, TASS correspondent reported. "We made a present to ourselves today by completing one of the construction stages of the Vsevolood Bobrov for the Russian Navy. I would like on behalf of the Northern Shipyard assure the customer that the vessel will be commissioned on time with excellent quality," said Director General of the shipyard Alexei Seleznev.
The Project 23120 lead logistic ship Elbrus
Project 23120 ships are designated to load, store, transport and unload dry cargoes on the coast or warships, to tug vessels and provide assistance to their crews. The ARC4 high ice class allows them to operate in the Arctic.

The Last Son Of Krypton takes the cake easy. He has literally held a black hole in his hands. Heard of Supernova's? The damage that they do. Yeah, Superman looks as them as a tickle on his nose.

Yea this guy has withstood just about everything so I could easily agree on him being number one.
Come on people; he is immortal. He can survive anything. - aeromaxx777
Stan lee himself said that he wanted to create absolutley indestructible and invulnerable hero and also he wanted thor to be most powerful.
-how do you make someone more powerful than the most powerful (hulk) simply not make him a human make him a god so thor was simply created to by the ultimate badass
And yeah he is also more durable than superman and hulk
4 Wolverine Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include a healing factor and his signature adamantium claws and adamantium skeleton.
100 times better than all of them and is 1000000 times more durable that's the description of his power...
What? Wolverine is pretty much indestructible. With nearly instantaneous regeneration and an adamantium-laced skeleton, let's see Iron Man's lasers get through this guy.
He got ripped in half and put himself together
He is 10000000000000 times better than all of them he has a super healing factor

The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. He made his first appearance ...read more.
One of the most interesting heros. Why? Because he is always improving his armor. He is more powerful now than few years ago. Has beaten Hulk (iron man #132). Plus the mind of Tony Stark itself is a weapon. Tony can figure out how to beat stronger characters.
His suit ismade of Iron for god's sake! In the first Ironman he survived a bomb blast without his suit and I'm pretty sure another human COULD most likely die unless he was extremely lucky! My point is if he has survived against things like that without his suit on them I'm sure if he had it on he could practically be invincible. They don't call him 'Invincible Ironman' for nothing!
They don't call him 'The Invincible Iron Man' for nothing. - aeromaxx777

Q: Winforms Form Inheritance - inherited forms not updating when base form is changed I'm using form inheritance in my project.  I design a base form, and then create forms that inherit it and go from there.
Here's the problem.  If I change the width of the base form, the inherited forms don't get their widths updated.
Say my base form started at 820 width.  I create an inherited form, it has 820 width. I update the base form to 800 width, inherited form stays 820.  Yet, if I add a button to the base form, or make a number of other changes, those are reflected in the inherited form usually without issue.
It doesn't only apply to form width, I've run into this a few times.. but this is the current issue I'm having.  Any anchored controls go haywire because their positions are updated from the base form, but the form itself doesn't change.
Any ideas how to resolve (or work around) this?

A: This will happen when you have the derived form opened in the designer.  Which remembers the size it had.  If you then modify the base form and rebuild then the designer will notice the derived form is no longer the same size as the base form and will record the size.  You'll now have a permanent mismatch.
You avoid it by making sure the derived form isn't opened when you edit the base form.  And that the base form is recompiled before you open the derived form.  But, accidents are definitely going to happen, best to not rely on it.  And in the greater scheme, the size should be left up to the user anyway.
You can fix it by right-clicking the derived form's Size property in the Properties window and clicking Reset.
