Q: Is it possible to have multiple fonts and sizes in a single TextView? I am trying to present the user with a TableView, within each cell of the table view there is an image and a textView, I am providing the textView.text with a single string for each cell, however within each string, I'd like that there could be multiple fonts. For example, one part of the string will have a size of 20 and bold and the rest will have a size of 14 and Regular. You can see what I have in my app in the following image

As you can see, I tried to edit the "How do you trade stocks?" part of the string with NSMutableAtributtedString, however the output was the settings of it rather than the string with the selected properties. The code I used is the following:
let title1 = "How do you trade stocks?"

let atributtedTitle1 = NSMutableAttributedString(string: title1)

atributtedTitle1.addAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.black, NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-Bold", size: 20)!], range: getRangeOfSubString(subString: title1, fromString: title1))

var textViews:[String] = ["\(atributtedTitle1)The stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealth. The stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealth.

The stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealthThe stock market is one of the best ways you can build up wealth"]

Loading the textView text usually as it's done in a tableView with
cell.descriptionTextView.text = textViews[indexPath.row]

And the function I used to calculate the range in NSMutableAtributtedString is as follows:
func getRangeOfSubString(subString: String, fromString: String) -> NSRange {
    let sampleLinkRange = fromString.range(of: subString)!
    let startPos = fromString.distance(from: fromString.startIndex, to: sampleLinkRange.lowerBound)
    let endPos = fromString.distance(from: fromString.startIndex, to: sampleLinkRange.upperBound)
    let linkRange = NSMakeRange(startPos, endPos - startPos)
    return linkRange
}

How could I have multiple fonts and sizes in a single string so I can provide it to a single textView?

A: As a direct answer for your question:

Is it possible to have multiple fonts and sizes in a single string in
  a TextView?

Yes there is. Setup aNSMutableAttributedString as it should, would get the desired result. For instance, calling the following method:
func setupTextViewAttributedString() {
    let myString = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
    let myAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: myString)
    myAttributedString.addAttribute(
        .font, value: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 20),
        range: NSRange(location:0,length:4))

    myAttributedString.addAttributes([.foregroundColor : UIColor.red,
                                      .font: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 20)],
                                     range: NSRange(location:0,length:19))

    myAttributedString.addAttributes([.foregroundColor : UIColor.blue,
                                      .font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)],
                                     range: NSRange(location:20,length:4))

    myAttributedString.addAttributes([.foregroundColor : UIColor.green,
                                      .font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)],
                                     range: NSRange(location:25,length:myString.count - 25))

    textView.attributedText = myAttributedString
}

would give the following output:

By setting attributes -with a given range- (using addAttributes(_:range:)), you even set more than one attribute at a time, as shown above, I setted the font and the color of the desired range of text.
Furthermore:
If you are aiming to evaluate HTML, you could do it like this:
func evaluateHTMLString() {
    let htmlString = """
                        The quick brown fox
                        jumps
                        over the lazy dog
                     """
    let attributedString = try! NSAttributedString(data: htmlString.data(using: .utf8)!,
                                                      options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html],
                                                      documentAttributes: nil)

    textView.attributedText = attributedString
}

Located in a relatively open, grassy setting bordered on its eastern side by Punt Road (one of the city's major arterial routes) and by the parklands that lead to the Melbourne Cricket Ground on its western frontage, the Richmond Cricket Ground is one of Melbourne's more highly rated cricket venues. The latest in a relatively long line of backup venues to the MCG, the facility has been the headquarters of the Richmond Cricket Club - a member of Melbourne's premier district competition - since 1856. However, occasions in its history on which it has hosted anything more prestigious than club cricket matches have been few and far between. The 1999-2000 summer, during which it served as the venue for two first class matches and one interstate one-day fixture, has been by far its busiest in this sense. Prior to that, one first class contest (a game between Victoria and Tasmania in 1932-33 in which spinner Chuck Fleetwood-Smith's fourteen wickets led the locals to a six wicket victory); a women's one-day international between Australia and England in 1988; and a women's Test between the same two nations in 1991, have been its only fleeting dalliances with such games. In keeping with its limited experience in hosting major matches, formal amenities at the oval still remain sparse (there is only one significant stand for instance); nevertheless, it is an attractive ground and one that may well grow in importance and stature during forthcoming seasons. From its history as a setting for many matches of Australian Rules Football over the years and as the base for the Richmond Football Club (one of Australia's most famous footballing establishments), it has also come to be known simply as the Punt Road ground.

What is Windows 10 and how beneficial is it?
Do you ask questions related to "what is Windows 10? Why is it causing so much excitement in the market? Or what are the benefits of Windows 10?" If so, then you are interested in getting a good operating system. A fact that can't be denied is that the Operating System (OS) you install in your computer or mobile device will influence the experience you will have.
A good OS assures you of a great time while a low-quality system leaves much to be desired. So, what is Windows 10 all about?
Windows 10 is the latest Microsoft operating system that the company will offer. The OS, codenamed Threshold, was first unveiled to the media on September 30, 2014. The system, which comes after Windows 8, has been under beta testing and aims at combining all the Microsoft operating systems.
These include Microsoft's PC, Windows Embedded, Windows Phone, and Xbox. It also incorporates new products such as HoloLens and Surface Hub and allows them to operate from a common internal core.
It enables the products to share a universal Windows Store architecture as well as application techniques.
What is Windows 10 Appreciated For?
Since its introduction into the market, Windows 10 has been receiving lots of attention. This is causing quite a stir in the market, especially after Microsoft announced that it would offer it for free.
Some benefits of this OS are:
Windows 10 or Windows 7? Compared to its predecessor Windows 8 or the earlier Windows 7, Windows 10 is fast.
In a nutshell, Windows 10 can be said to combine the strengths of both Windows 7 and 8. You should expect to see better performance and a more appealing interface.
Strong Built-in Security
The OS features high security effective in new and existing hardware and software. You will experience this when using it on PCs, mobile devices, gaming devices, and much more.
Assortment of Apps
Windows ten is very rich in apps, and you can view them singly or snap four apps in one. You can also build several virtual desktops, enhancing flexibility, efficiency, and user-friendliness.
The above are some critical advantages of Windows 10 OS, which is expected to be available to the public from July 29, 2015. Going against its tradition, Microsoft has also offered the OS for free.
This is undoubtedly one of the critical issues that are driving internet searches for what is Windows 10 and other related terms up.

Viña Casa Marin
Chile - Región de Valparaíso - Lo Abarca Valley
Camino Lo Abarca S/N, Cartagena
Región de Valparaíso
Lo Abarca Valley
Viña Casa Marín is a family business run by María Luz Marín. Her son Felipe Marín follows in her footsteps as a winemaker and her older son Nicolas Marín helps in the administration of the company. Together they have created the most awarded Chilean wines outside of the country in the icon and premium categories, and they represent people who dedicate themselves exclusively to the winery. In general, the team is the Marín family – siblings and children – who continue on passionately support this boutique winery's growth.
Casa Marín's story began with its founder, owner and winemaker, María Luz Marín's, dream. Nothing better describes this winery than the story of a woman who fought to create a unique winery with fine, exclusive wines. In 2000, against advice from colleagues and experts, she decided to establish her winery in Lo Abarca, a small town in the San Antonio Valley. Despite warnings about problems with location, the cool-climate and people's disbelief, she was successful in creating a company whose wines have been awarded throughout the world and have helped position Chile in a distinct light with its high quality, high value wines.
Viña Casa Marín is located in a privileged and unique terroir but one that can seem adverse. The town of Lo Abarca is just 4 kms. from the Pacific Ocean and is covered by a constant fog during the summer and winter months. It's also a very windy area with cold temperatures during the grape growth and ripening period. However, these conditions make the vines produced a superior quality fruit than other valleys with higher temperatures and with massive production. The harvests are not abundant, but the plants that grow here are strong with healthy grapes and greater flavor and mineral concentration that add unique qualities and character to the wines.
According to geologists, this area was once part of the ocean which is why there have been high levels of calcium and minerals (each adds to the grapes) found in excavations the winery has done. In fact this is where the new plant name "tierras blancas" (white soil) came from because of its color and the abundant presence of calcium carbonate. Casa Marín's terroir is made up of 50 hectares of hills and valleys, of which 10 newly planted. The winery has 8 sections divided into 38 blocks, each with distinct geological and geographic characteristics and planted with its respective grape variety.
Winemaking & Aging
Making wines with pure passion
Our winemaking facility provides us with the required conditions so the wine displays its best qualities naturally, without correcting their acidity. The process begins with the terroir selection. Currently, the winery has 50 hectares of vineyards divided into 38 different blocks. All of the grapes are harvested by hand, when their perfectly ripe. Because of the great diversity of terroir and grape varieties in a cool climate, the harvest begins later and can last from the beginning of March through the end of May. Then our fruit goes through a strict selection process and next to vinification separately in small, individualized tanks. These characteristics of the process mean that the wine reflects the natural character of the grapes and the land they come from. Our Pinot Noir is fermented in French oak barrels between 12 and 14 months. Our Syrah is fermented between 16 and 20 months and our Sauvignon Gris, between 4 and 6 months. The barrel cellar stays at a natural 9 degrees Celsius before the wine goes to be bottled. This way Viña Casa Marín achieves incomparable wines thanks to the work here because of the passionate work done from start to finish.
At The Winery
Unique winery and winemaking facility, just 4 km. from the ocean
Both Casa Marin's vineyards and winemaking facility are located in Lo Abarca, part of Chile's fifth region, just 4 km. from the ocean. It's here where a select process for making some of Chile's most exclusive, quality wines is developed. It begins with terroir and then continues in the specially designed winemaking facility. You can visit the winery, take a tour and taste our wines throughout the year, by reservation.
Viña Casa Marín was established in the town of Lo Abarca, part of the San Antonio Valley and the fifth region. It is considered a radical area to plant grapevines because of the land's characteristics. Thanks to these conditions and the creation of land divisions, or specific terroir blocks, the most exquisite icon and premium wines are produced here, both red and white. Casa Marín's specialty is its fantastic Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Gris, all cool-climate wines.
Winemaking Facility
María Luz Marín built her own winemaking facility during the years 2003 and 2004, in order to produce wines with special characteristics from a maximum of 50 hectares. Her facility was specially built for a boutique winery, which has the ideal space and temperature qualities that extract the pure flavor from the grapes and that guarantees production quality. Felipe Marín, María Luz's son, is the winemaker and head of the production and work at the winery. The facility is colonial style with Chilean tiles made from clay and decorated with beautiful mosaics made by Patricia Marín, another family member. The building also has a wine shop, tasting room, wine cellar as well as a production and packaging area. Regarding winemaking, it has a total storage capacity of 200 tons and 180 thousand liters.
The winemaking facility is also equipped with the latest technology that permits superior quality wine production:
• 31 stainless steel tanks of various capacities for more versatility and to optimize individual characteristics in the grapes from each block, between 1000 and 15,000 liters, each with its own temperature sensor.
• Crushing/de-stemming machine
• Vibrating sorting tables for cluster and berry sorting.
• 240 French oak barrels, most with a capacity of 228 liters.
• Pneumatic press
• Conveyor belt
• Automated temperature control system

FIFA reacts to 'Messi Vote fixing claims'
FIFA has denied allegations of foul play with regards to the voting as Lionel Messi was named Best Men's Player at the FIFA The Best awards in Milan on Monday.
Nicaragua captain Juan Barrera has said he did not vote for the Barcelona forward, who beat Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the award, with votes cast by national team manager and captains as well as various media representatives.
"We have checked the voting documents submitted by the Nicaraguan FA and all documents are signed and confirmed with the official stamp of the Nicaraguan FA," A FIFA spokesperson told ESPN FC.
"Having compared with the vote sheets submitted by the federation and the ones we have published on FIFA.com, we confirm that we have the right votes signed by the player. We are asking the Nicaraguan Football Federations to inquire on this matter."
Barrera, who is recorded as having voted for Messi as his first choice with Sadio Mane as his No. 2 and Ronaldo in third place, said in a social media post he had not taken part.
"I did not vote in The Best 2019 awards," he wrote on Twitter. "Any information about me is false."
Barrera was asked why he voted for Messi by journalists in his homeland, where he again denied casting a vote.
"I did not vote for Messi," he told La Prensa. "Last year, I did vote, but this year I did not."
The report also added that Barrera said while last year he received an email with instructions on how to cast his vote, this time around he received nothing.
Meanwhile, FIFA said votes from Egypt for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah did not count because signatures on the ballot "were in capital letters and thus seemed not valid (not authentic)," and "voting forms were also not signed by the federation general secretary which is mandatory."
The Egypt Football Federation had questioned why ballot papers on behalf of their national team coach and captain were not included in a FIFA document published after Monday's ceremony.
FIFA said their voting office is monitored by independent auditors. They noted Egypt were first contacted for confirmation of the ballots then "received two reminders to submit the properly signed voting forms on Aug. 19."
The Egyptian federation was in turmoil in July and August after their leadership resigned due to the national team's round of 16 exit to South Africa at the African Cup of Nations they hosted.
Later in August, FIFA sent an emergency management team to run the Egypt federation.

Honey Bun Limited is reporting in its Unaudited Financial Statements for the six months ended 31st March, 2018 lower profit before tax of $39.8 million which was 11 percent lower than 2017.
CEO Michelle Chong, is reporting that the company's production capacity constraint has been impacting sales and profitability, but has now been addressed with their factory expansion. This saw the company's asset base growing as a result of the investment in the expanded facilities, allowing them to now take advantage of the strong market demand for their products.
In her commentary on the financial performance of the company, she reported that the effect of this constraint was a 4 percent decrease in sales to $352 million dollars, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, relative to the $368 million for 2017.
She also reported that year to date sales for the six-month period were $675 million representing a 1% decrease in sales relative over the corresponding period for 2017 and profit before tax amounted to $71 million, 19% lower than last year.
Higher selling and distribution costs of 5% also affected profitability as they restructured the distribution network for greater efficiencies.
Honey Bun Sales Up 4% But Profit Before Tax For Nine Months, 17% Lower Than Last Year.

If you buy just one chair – be it for your home office or to use in a summerhouse for hobbies – it has to be the Mirra 2 Chair from Herman Miller.
It is the Rolls Royce of chairs and the car analogy doesn't end there – you can customise this chair in so many ways, you really will end up with something that not only looks great, it will fit you like a glove and can be ergonomically adjusted to your body type.
Designed by Studio 7.5, they set out to create a high-performance chair for people on the go.
When you sit down, the seat and chair back adapt instantly. With dynamic surfaces that respond to even the slightest movement and simple, intuitive means to adjust and fine-tune the fit, Mirra 2 balances comfort and personalised ergonomics in a really great design. Can you tell that we LOVE this chair.
So how can you customise it?
First of all, you can choose from two different designs for the back of the chair. Following that, there are a choice of three finishes for the base and frame, depending on whether you want a more conventional look or something a little more funky.
Next up is the choice of castors allowing the chair to smoothly glide across the type of flooring you have – either carpet or a solid floor. And finally there's a choice of five colours, ranging from black to bright orange for the back and seat finish.
Most work chairs will move up and down to suit your height. But the Mirra 2 has so many more customisation options. You can also adjust the front of the seat for depth, creating more or less support for your legs.
You can keep the chair rigid or allow it to tilt forward and backwards at whatever speed you feel comfortable with and to whatever position you feel happy leaning back. Some models also allow you to change the tension in the lumbar support too.
As for the arms of the chair, you can opt for any height that works for you depending on what job you're doing. Likewise you can move the arms forward and backwards, as well rotate them to an angle that suits you and also move them in or out depending on your size.
Whilst it's not cheap, this chair is a work of art that actually makes work a pleasure. The investment is worth it for the health benefits alone before you even think about the aesthetics – now that's not something you can claim about a high-performance car.

Santa poses with Woody at the SPCA Suncoast during a recent Saturday afternoon Pet Pictures with Santa event to raise money to support the shelter.
Unity Lezak holds a kitten who has been living at the SPCA Suncoast shelter in New Port Richey. The little kitty and many more await new families.
NEW PORT RICHEY — Santa gets lots of routine requests this time of year, perhaps classics like a fire truck or a dolly — or something a bit hipper, like the newest iPhone.
But how about a big beef bone or a squeaky toy?
The latter sort was more likely on the Christmas wish list at the SPCA Suncoast Dec. 8, where the nonprofit animal welfare group held a fundraising Pet Pictures with Santa event.
Pet owners brought their pets, mostly dogs, to the shelter to pose with Santa, who arrived on his motorcycle to greet the awaiting crowd.
"How are you, little one?" the Jolly Old Elf asked a small, long-haired pooch waiting outside the shelter. The dog looked confused but managed a tiny tail wag just the same.
The photo-op for pups was the first staged by the SPCA shelter, said Justin Edwards, shelter manager. Participants could pay $5 for a photo, a paw print artwork or a pet pedicure. The shelter also sold pet goody bags. The money will be used to help fund the shelter, which houses up to about 20 dogs and an equal number of cats at any given time.
The public can visit the SPCA Suncoast, 7734 Congress St., from noon until 6 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, to pick out a pet to adopt.
It worked. By the time Santa arrived, two dogs already had been adopted out, said Edwards. He added that there is plenty of time before Christmas for anyone looking to make a gift of a dog or cat.

Movielink to support RealSystem and Windows Media, not MPEG-4
Movielink has announced that it will use both RealSystem and Windows Media for it's upcoming video-on-demand services.
"We wanted as low a hurdle as possible for consumers to be able to get movies through the most widely distributed players, Microsoft and RealNetworks, and the most secure digital rights management technologies," Ramos said.
Note that they're not supporting MPEG-4, probably because no mainstream MPEG-4 player supports DRM. I don't interpret this as Movielink "turning their back on Apple" (as the author dramatically suggests), but it illustrates that Apple's non-stance on DRM has a downside for its customers as well.
Movielink is backed by MGM, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros. Interestingly, this means that this deal effectively starves RealNetworks' content services of movie content. Unless, of course, RealNetworks is giving them everything for free in order to get content for its own service. Hrmmm…

Here's how I would fix urban public schools

Good luck with nurturing and supporting your Black students Let me know how successful you are at that & how much your students will respect you. I have the ability to reach them and gain rapport with them, you do not and have not.
It is such a shame that you believe this. And that you encourage young people to fear and distrust the adults that try to help them in their schools.
I do have great rapport with some of my black students. Not all. Just like I do and don't with my white students. My Native American students. My Asian and Hispanic students.

Digest on this & talk to your students more. (Futuremathprof and AlwaysAttend.)
Study Finds Students Of All Races Prefer Teachers Of Color
"Cherng and Halpin found that all the students, including white students, had significantly more favorable perceptions of Latino versus white teachers across the board, and had significantly more favorable perceptions of black versus white teachers on at least two or three of seven categories in the survey.
The strongest positive relationship was the flipside of what Cherng experienced in his own classroom: Asian-American students had very rosy views of their black teachers.
The relationship persisted after controlling for students' age, gender, their free and reduced-price lunch status and their academic performance. The researchers also controlled for other factors like the teacher's level of experience and education, their gender, and even outside expert ratings of the teachers' effectiveness, based on classroom observations.
No matter what, students had warmer perceptions of their teachers of color."
https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/201...tudents-of-all-races-prefer-teachers-of-color
On at least two or three (shoddy statistical analysis, mind you. Is it two or is it three?) of SEVEN categories??? What about the other 4 or 5 categories??

No, of society growing and improving. The highway carries people too and from NJ's largest city while creating a valuable shipping corridor which is connected to the port ensuring goods can make their way west.
Okay so you're okay with placing convenience over quality of life. Lots of people are. That's the way to survival, that's the corporate way-deforestation, pollutants and all types of other ways the planet is being harmed. As long as money is earned, then some people are okay with the horrific effects on the ecosystem, and people.
So thus, why should there even be any concern to fix urban schools, when you support the very systems that contributed to the destruction of these communities?
The Role of Highways in American Poverty
Quote: "The completion of I-81 had the same effect it has had in almost all cities that put interstates through their hearts. It decimated a close-knit African American community."
Complete article:
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/03/role-of-highways-in-american-poverty/474282/
The article and others like it are stating how thriving Black communities have been torn apart by highways (among many many other things I don't have 24 hours a day to sit here any post links). So the horrible effects you and others are seeing in your classroom is in a sense, an effect of Black communities continuously being displaced and kicked out of their homes. That's one thing of many many things...
However, you appear to support having villages destroyed to build parks, and having people forced out of their homes, so thus, you hold responsibility for the negative consequences of those actions.
webmistress, Dec 22, 2017
Here's a quote to respond to. What are your thoughts?
"Of course, there were people who couldn't move to the suburbs. African Americans were denied home loans by the federal government in certain areas, a practice called redlining. Restrictive covenants prevented homeowners from selling to certain types of people, often including African Americans. And they were also denied jobs and other opportunities that would have allowed them to afford to buy a home in the first place."
AlwaysAttend Fanatic
I knew you were going to go there, that's why I included the terrible effect stop and go traffic would have on the community. You'd be giving an entire generation of black children asthma! Are you ok with poisoning black children? I'm not! We should actually shut down the port to avoid the trucks driving through the neighborhoods all together probably. No point in making money, our quality of life is far more important than being able to pay for anything while we are alive.
AlwaysAttend, Dec 22, 2017
Why would you want them to live out in the burbs with the white folks? They will corrupt their minds, prevent them from believing in themselves, and probably give them smallpox too.
They are already being poisoned. I already posted links about the pollutants and toxic waste sites are often near poor Black areas.
I'm certain you know about the Flint water crisis, in which kids have died, and many have permanent brain damage.
Lead poisoning in inner city kids is well documented.
"After growing up poor in a predominantly African-American neighborhood of Cincinnati, the young adults had reached their early 20s. One by one, they passed through an MRI machine that displayed their brains in sharp, cross-sectioned images.
For those who had been exposed to lead as toddlers, even in small amounts, the scans revealed changes that were subtle, permanent and devastating.
The toxic metal had robbed them of gray matter in the parts of the brain that enable people to pay attention, regulate emotions and control impulses. Lead also had scrambled the production of white matter that transmits signals between different parts of the brain, largely by mimicking calcium, an element that plays a critical role in brain development."

You get that lead was in the houses when white people lived there too right? No one snuck in and put it there when no one was looking. Same with asbestos. They used these things as building materials for a reason. Then they discovered the danger and people stopped using it. Of course it didn't suddenly disappear.

As for flint, you act as if it was targeting a population when in reality it was targeting a region. You know who else was effected? General Motors, one of the biggest auto manufacturers in the world. The water was actually coroding auto parts. Do you think they'd intentionally damage a golden goose when they have so few? Unless you are thinking they intentionally ruin GM so no jobs are available and people become poorer.
You can't fix what you won't acknowledge. Are you reading the articles?
Not even a little. Using background knowledge.
AA, I didn't even have a problem with your initial ideas. I don't see anything wrong with those ideas in the initial post because as much as I would prefer going back to the old village days, and the old schoolhouse days of real neighborhood schools where the people in the schools were like a family as they all knew and lived by each other....those old days are gone.
I support the Black Homeschool movement, and many are choosing to homeschool, that is great & what we need, but we know that the majority of kids will still have to attend public school.
You want to fix a broken system. I want to tear that system completely down and rebuild it on a foundation of "equality, liberty and justice for all."
All I was saying was that race cannot continue to be ignored.
You all can't discuss Black kid test scores and behavioral issues, without discussing, well, Black kids and Blackness itself. And frankly that's a topic that terrifies far too many white (and other race) people.
Black kids are not the ones who need fixing. The adults do, adults of all races. The kids are out of control because the system is corrupt, evil and dysfunctional to the core.
Can evil really be fixed? ((And before anyone gets offended, I am not talking about individual people and educators, I am talking about the system.))
Let's look at what works. Ron Clark's school works. This is what educating Black kids should look like. It doesn't matter what race the school leader is, if they have a school like Ron's it would work.
As he said on FB yesterday,
Ron Clark added 7 new photos.

We just spent 6 hours in the National Museum of African American History & Culture and we barely scratched the surface. If every American would visit this phenomenal museum then possibly the blanket of ignorance that so many are living under could be unveiled. Unless everyone has freedom, no one of us is really free. Unless you seek to learn of those who are different from you, you will never truly understand yourself. I beg of everyone, look for opportunities to have your eyes opened. Yearn for tolerance, understanding and acceptance. Place yourself on a path of awareness where your goal is to acquire knowledge and be a better person. When you find yourself saying things like, "I hate..." or "I don't like..." or "I don't understand..." please realize that those are moments where you may desperately need personal growth.
Just out of curiosity, what does a black kid test question look like? How about black kid behavior?
Also, I feel like you should say this part in the mirror:

That's not acceptable. This topic is not supposed to be about your personal background knowledge but about examining the historical academic literature on race and intelligence dating back to the 1600s and then seeing how that historical foundation affects society today.
The topic is not dictated by your nonsensical whims. You don't even acknowledge anything that doesn't fit in your tiny close minded box. You simply pivot to your next prepackaged argument. I imagine you do this in person as well.
For example, you start the lead argument without acknowledging that the lead was there since it was installed be it in pipes or housing paint, etc. for the last hundred years. It was just the building material of the time. No one broke into these places and put it there to harm the black community. In fact you don't want the black community to move out to parts of the suburbs where the builds were done after lead and asbestos and all these things were outlawed. So in reality you want black people permanently subjected to these issues. Or actually it seems like you also want them to get together save up all their money and change it themselves as part of their own community.
There is no context presented in your arguments outside your narrow scope of thinking. One day one of your kids is going to record the nutty things you say, you'll end up on YouTube, then the local news, then your program will come to an end.

It has been my experience that people with hateful or racist attitudes don't associate with those whom they dislike or fear. And, when they are forced to be around them, they are adept at concealing their true feelings. Hate and racism and things of that sort don't operate in the light. Only in anonymity or where others with similar attitudes congregate.

You have ignored direct questions from me. As AA said, you just pivot to the next talking point.
I will ask one more time, what is black about destroying property within 5 years that was in perfect working order and brand spanking new? See, I don't see this as a black problem, I see it as a character problem regardless of color. I would be equally as disgusted if a white, asian, hispanic, or native american family did the same.
I think AA had great questions for you to answer. What does black behavior look like, especially behavior that will lead them to be successful?

webmistress, one of the links you provided (or a link I followed from there) mentioned that schools expect black boys to act like white girls and that is why they end up being suspended at a higher rate. What does that mean?
2ndTimeAround said: ↑
That's the article's way of saying many people have racist stereotypical expectations of students. There's really no "white girl" way to act, unless it's the one that society has created, a so-called superior behavior is expected based on skin color. The theories date back to the 1600's, or maybe primarily I am seeing more that they started in the 1700s.
Here's a list of the the classical thinkers, scholars, scientists, philosophers, biologists & so on who promoted putting people in 'race' categories based on phenotypes and then assigning each race a specific level of intelligence, behavior and beauty.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism
(From Charles Darwin to Immaunel Kant to Carlos Linneaus).
Those theories have never been challenged and are in fact, still widely believed. In my experience, hardly anyone is completely comfortable with admitting that somewhere deep inside, they do believe in the theories. If you're not placed at the bottom of the hierarchy, then you (in general) can go through life without having to think about such theories, you in general, accept that those at the bottom must be deserving of it, whereas we know the genius we're made of, so I had to learn for myself how this hierarchy began.

How does hate and racism not operate in the light? Did you not see Charlottesville? There is too much Googling you can do and videos you can watch to see hate and racism operating in the light. If you're not the target, it's easy to pretend that it's not that there...but the hatred is very much there. Daily. Ask a black student.
Black students across the nation are having to protest their racist schools
http://www.reporternewspapers.net/2017/12/18/students-protest-racism-dunwoody-high-school/
Where have some of you been?
Lynchings during Jim Crow were public for a reason, and the modern day lynchings are again, public for all to see.
As for hateful people not hanging around those they hate, that's not true. Dylan Roof had Black friends and he still walked into a church and murdered 9 Black people, after sitting with them for an entire hour. He told them they were nice people before he killed them, but he said he had to do it. (And he did it based on racial stereotypes, going back to the scholars in the link I posted above).
Kids of all races hang out together, and interracial marriages are the norm, mixed neighborhoods are the norm, however, those racist theories that I keep bringing back up, still remain.
And those are just facts that people need to stop denying and stop being so uncomfortable with.
Super excellent information here. A lot to read through and educate yourselves on, for those who don't understand racism. From NEA
http://educationvotes.nea.org/neaedjustice/social-justice-issues/racial-justice/
I have an idea, how about someone see about holding a TownHall meeting in your schools for students to discuss their issues like here. Get insight from the students about how their schools can be improved.
Racism sucks – students of color give educators an earful
"After hearing the students' stories, educator after educator thanked us for opening their eyes," says Scurlock. "One teary-eyed teacher told me she had no idea this is what kids of color were going through. Taking the time to listen to the students was an undeniable reminder to everyone in the room that we have a lot of work to do."

That was just vague talking points with no real examples.
I would like to turn the ending of the video around on you. Could it be that your mission is clouding your judgement about how widespread racism really is and that many things that are going on is not a factor of racism but something else?
Zero tolerance? Really? I know majority white schools with zero tolerance. How could that be if it is a racist way of dealing with students? Stupid idea for dealing with students in general, but it isn't racist just because it happens in a black school because it happens many places. It is a failed educational policy which there are many.
The more you post, the more I feel you are looking to find racism even where there is not. This last video nails it for me.
What I notice in my very ethnically and racially diverse school is that the kids generally get along and work together in classes, but on their own time, they tend to group based on culture interests and lines which is a very normal behavior. The cafeteria is grouped by categories in many cases, but it is by choice. However there are events everyone hangs out together and is happy to do so.
I think some of what you want to define as racism is just normal human nature. If you want people not segregating themselves, the only way to do so is remove all aspects of varied ethnic and cultural norms which is counter intuitive to what you propose.
You will never find me sitting at lunch with a socially aggressive, in your face person regardless of color unless I have to. However, if that is how the majority of a group acts, I will be avoiding the group. It won't be because of the skin color, but it will be because of the attitude. This attitude is in every ethnicity and race, but there are times that the behavior clusters due to social pressure not some inherent nature in the race. I've seen groups of people who are white behaving this way and people who are of other cultures and races behaving this way.
I say it's about time to shut this thread down mods.

Q: Parameter values can anyone tell me why the following query is asking me for parameter values. It should be (or at least I want to) populating the table with data 'from' where it's pulling it from:
SELECT [BILLING_REJECTS_orig].[ORG NBR] AS BK,
    [BILLING_REJECTS_orig].[ACCOUNT NUMBER] AS ACCT,
    [BILLING_REJECTS_orig].APPL AS AP,
    [BILLING_REJECTS_orig].[ACCOUNT NAME] AS [ACCT NAME],

INTO Billing_Rejects_Orig
FROM dbo_BILLING_REJECTS_DEPT,
    TM_Report_Date

        AND ((Month([Billing_Rejects_Orig]![REPORT DATE])) = Month([TM_Report_Date]![Report_Date]))
        );

A: As @WEI_DBA points out with incorrect reference to table, consider using table aliases as shown with b and t. This cuts down SQL code and is a helpful tool in maintainability as you can then switch out the table name in FROM or JOIN clauses without a whole re-write of query, assuming same structured table.
Especially in MS Access being a default backend database (Jet/ACE) that can be switched out with other RDBMS's (SQL Server, MySQL, etc.) and occasionally used for prototyping, table aliases can help in migration between both linked and local tables.

       b.[ACCOUNT NUMBER] AS ACCT,
       b.APPL AS AP,

       IIf(Len(DatePart('m', b.[REPORT DATE])) = 1,

France plans triple play tax hike
by Michael Carroll |
France will raise the rate of tax telcos pay on bundled services despite a raft of objections from carriers who say the move will lead to higher consumer prices.
Budget minister Francois Baroin confirmed it would raise VAT levels on triple-play services yesterday, after coming under pressure to bring its taxation system in-line with European Union rules, Automated Trader reported.
Finance ministry sources said the government could change the percentage of triple play subscription fees that are subject to the country's full 19.6% VAT, replacing the current set-up where the first half of subscriptions are taxed at 5.5% with the remaining 50% subject to the full figure, Reuters reports.
Telcos reportedly save around €200 million per year under the current approach.
The government has been forced to act after European Union officials said the current triple-play taxation system breaches its rules relating to competition and state aid, Reuters said.
Any change would likely hit Iliad hardest, as the firm benefits the most from the current rates, French brokers Oddo said.
The firm predicts the change would cut Iliad's EBITDA by 2.5% to 5%, compared to the 1% decline rivals France Telecom, Vivendi and Bouygues would experience.
Triple-play services have helped drive down the cost of fixed-line broadband connections in Europe from €7.50 per month in 4Q09 to €5.80 in 2Q10, according to a recent Analysys Mason report.

Diabetes in pregnancy is common. Approximately 7.5% of all pregnant women have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and one in seven pregnant women will develop gestational diabetes5.
Pregnant women with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes are recommended to monitor frequently to help maintain good blood glucose control throughout pregnancy and reduce the risk of adverse outcomes6.
With the FreeStyle Libre system, pregnant women can check their glucose without routine finger pricks1.
Your FreeStyle Libre System Stories.
1 A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels, or if hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia is reported but the symptoms do not match the system readings.
2 Scanning the sensor to obtain glucose values does not require lancets.
3 The reader can capture data from the sensor when it is within 1cm to 4cm of the sensor.
4 For a complete glycemic picture, scan once every 8 hours.
* The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system is indicated for measuring interstitial fluid glucose levels in people (age 4 and older) with diabetes mellitus. The indication for children (age 4 - 12) is limited to those who are supervised by a caregiver who is at least 18 years of age. A caregiver at least 18 years old is responsible for supervising, managing, and assisting the child in using the FreeStyle Libre system and interpreting its readings.


Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, is one of the largest agglomerations in Europe, with 2.2 million people living in the dense central city, 7 million people in the Metropole du Grand Paris and almost 12 million people living in the metropolitan area.
The 4th is a good chunk of what used to be medieval Paris, and you'll find a lot left from that time on both islands and in the narrow streets of the lower Marais.
The 8th arrondissement of Paris is home to the Avenue des Champs Elysées, which ends up at the Arc de Triomphe.
The 5th Arrondissement of Paris is one of the best known of the city's central districts, located on the Left Bank of the river Seine.
The 15th arrondissement of Paris is in the city's southwest on the Left Bank of the Seine.
As with Paris itself, the 6th Arrondissement is hard to write about without using superlatives.
La Défense is a collection of modern high-rise office and residential buildings built according to an evolving central plan on the western outskirts of Paris, beyond the last Parisian loop of the river Seine.
The 11th Arrondissement is home to two quite different but equally blossoming centres of Parisian nightlife.
The 7th arrondissement is perhaps the most expensive area to live in Paris.
The 12th arrondissement of Paris is one of the largest of the city's districts even without the 2,460 acre Bois de Vincennes, which more than doubles its size.
The 9th arrondissement of Paris is a diverse, "in between" section of the French capital.
The 17th arrondissement of Paris lies slightly off the beaten path, directly north of the Arc de Triomphe.
Although largely residential, the 14th arrondissement is best known for its northeastern quartier Montparnasse, for the Paris Catacombs and the Parc Montsouris.
The 2nd arrondissement of Paris is one of the financial centres of Europe, being home to the Bourse and thus the CAC 40 index you hear about in world financial news.
The 10th arrondissement of Paris centres on the Canal Saint Martin and the restaurants and cafés which line its banks.
The 13th arrondissement of Paris is primarily a residential and business district in the southeast of Paris, on the Left Bank of the Seine.
A quieter part of the ancient Marais neighbourhood which is centred in the 4th, the 3rd is possibly one of the best places to live in Paris.
The 19th arrondissement of Paris is in the north of the city, and is a peaceful, green and family-friendly refuge from the otherwise quite stuffy and/or shabby city.

Q: Java shortest path I'm trying to make an small tower defender game in Java. I have a grid that is made up of a Point2D.Double array named:
FieldArr[h][v]
h represents horizontal fields, v the vertical vertical fields
this makes a grid like this
+ + + + + + +
S + X + + + +
+ + + X + + +
+ X + + + + F
+ + X + + + +

S represents start, F represents Finish, X represents Towers
now I want to calculate the shortest route for but i don't have any clue how to start on this
Towers have the following vars for location:
HorizontalNr and VerticalNr.
for paint I do then:
public void paint(Graphics2D g2) {
    int Xpos = HorizontalNr * playfield.getSquarewidth() + playfield.GetinitialXPos();
    int Ypos = VerticalNr * playfield.getSquarewidth() + playfield.GetinitialYPos();
    g2.fillRect(Xpos, Ypos, 50, 50);
}

Anyone have any tips, on how I should make my enemy class, so I won't get in any problem with the algorithm?
and/or have tips on how to calculate the shortest path?
already thanks
grt kiwi

A: The shortest path problem has been studied a lot and a lot of literature exists on this problem. It's probably best to just using an existing algorithm rather than trying to invent an algorithm yourself.
For example, a simple and efficient algorithm is Dijkstra's algorithm. From Wikipedia:

*

*Let the node at which we are starting be called the initial node. Let the distance of node Y be the distance from the initial node to Y. Dijkstra's algorithm will assign some initial distance values and will try to improve them step by step.
  Assign to every node a tentative distance value: set it to zero for our initial node and to infinity for all other nodes.

*Mark all nodes unvisited. Set the initial node as current. Create a set of the unvisited nodes called the unvisited set consisting of all the nodes except the initial node.

*For the current node, consider all of its unvisited neighbors and calculate their tentative distances. For example, if the current node A is marked with a tentative distance of 6, and the edge connecting it with a neighbor B has length 2, then the distance to B (through A) will be 6+2=8. If this distance is less than the previously recorded tentative distance of B, then overwrite that distance. Even though a neighbor has been examined, it is not marked as visited at this time, and it remains in the unvisited set.

*When we are done considering all of the neighbors of the current node, mark the current node as visited and remove it from the unvisited set. A visited node will never be checked again; its distance recorded now is final and minimal.

*If the destination node has been marked visited (when planning a route between two specific nodes) or if the smallest tentative distance among the nodes in the unvisited set is infinity (when planning a complete traversal), then stop. The algorithm has finished.

*Set the unvisited node marked with the smallest tentative distance as the next "current node" and go back to step 3.

A: if you're looking to avoid the towers then your looking for the euclidean path from start to finish, which is solvable with a shortest path approach ala djkstra.

A: As Mark said, this is Shortest Path Problem, which can be solved easily and efficiently.
Note, that since your problem is not weighted, you can use a BFS here, which is pretty easy to implement and also guarantees finding sortest path for unweighted graphs.
Pseudo code for BFS:
findShortestPath(source,target):
  queue<- new queue
  visited <- {}
  Map<point,point> parents <- empty map
  queue.push(source)
  while (queue.empty() == false):
     current <- queue.takeFirst()
     if (current.equals(target)):
         extract the path from source to destination using the map parents(*)
         return
     visited.add(current)
     for each p such that p and current are neighbors: //insert neighbors to queue
          if p is not in visited:
                if (p is not an obstacle):
                   queue.push(p)
                   parents.put(p,current) //current is the parent of p

(*) Extracting the path from the map is simple: just follow the current <- parent.get(current) until you get null, this way you extract the exact path you will use.
Note that even faster solution [in most cases] will be A* with the manhattan distance heuristic, but it is much more complex to implement it.

Q: How can I implement upload button in J frame in user registration page? I have written two methods:
Both are working fine. But I'm getting confuse how to use them for submit button action.
Button browse will get and read the image only where button submit (create account) will verify all the fields and then store the image into a specific folder.
textField_3 is the text-box before upload button(show the image path) and textField_1 is the text-box for username(username.jpg would be the final image name).
All the fields will store in the database only image will store into a specific folder.

        void browse()   //Browse the image from local folder
        {

            JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();

            chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
            File f = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            filename = f.getAbsolutePath();
            textField_3.setText(filename);

        }

        void browse_store()  //store the image in source folder
        {

            JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
            int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
            File f = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            filename = f.getAbsolutePath();
            //File file = chooser.getSelectedFile(textField_3.getText());

            FileNameExtensionFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter(
                    "JPG, GIF, and PNG Images", "jpg", "gif", "png");
            chooser.setFileFilter(filter);

            String withExtension = chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();

            if( !withExtension.toLowerCase().endsWith( ".jpg" ))  //check validation of .jpg file
            {

                        image = ImageIO.read(f);
                        ImageIO.write(image, "jpg",new File("D:\\Img\\" + textField_1.getText()+".jpg"));
                    } catch (IOException ex) {
                        Logger.getLogger(Register.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                    }
                }

        }

        String filename = null; //global declaration for string variable filename

}

Whenever I am calling the method browse_store then dialog is opening again(since I've written:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);

Pricing is by far the most powerful profit lever that managers can influence. Yet few companies approach pricing in a way that fully capitalizes on its value. This Second Edition, a major revision and extension of the first book, shows you what it takes to achieve the price advantage in today's competitive and complex business environments. Based on in-depth, first-hand experience with thousands of companies, this book provides managers with a pragmatic guide through the maze of pricing issues. It reinforces why pricing excellence is more critical than ever today and then explains state-of-the-art approaches to analyzing and improving your own pricing strategy and execution.
Engaging and informative, the Second Edition of The Price Advantage will put this essential discipline in perspective.
