The programming rationale for this disc is excellent. The focus is on Julius Caesar in Baroque opera, not least via the influential libretto written by Giacomo Francesco Bussani in the second half of the seventeenth century. This was the basis for the subsequent opera by the significant Venetian composer Antonio Sartorio. Bussani's libretto was most famously adapted by Nicola Francesco Haym for Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto. Subsequent revivals of that first canonic libretto saw operas by such as Niccolo Piccinni in 1770.
In a performer's note the countertenor Raffaele Pe outlines, as is his prerogative, that he wishes to 'dissociate' himself from what he terms forms of singing that have been 'definitively perfected by certain pioneer performers from the preceding generation' and wishes instead to generate a new aesthetic for the countertenor's vocal register that embraces soprano and contralto registers. I don't quite know who these 'pioneers' are – surely not as far back as Deller or Oberlin, from the description of 'preceding generation', but maybe singers such as Esswood, Bowman, Ragin, Jacobs, Chance, and Kowalski? As for vocal registers, haven't some of today's leading countertenors been doing precisely for some time what Pe suggests they have not?
Given these rather didactic, even judgmental thoughts I was warmed up and ready for action. I expected something of a new approach, and levels of vocal sophistication and a powerful sense of characterisation. I've certainly enjoyed Pe's singing in the past but here, I'm afraid, generally less so.
We are used to performances of Handel's Va tacito e nascosto where the horn is an equal obbligato partner in the acoustic balance. Here it's submerged in the orchestra, in an acoustic that is throughout the recital unhelpfully flat and one-dimensional. Pe sings attractively but his embellishments in the da capo are too florid and play around with the key too willfully. In Son nata a lagrimar he is joined on the only such occasion by mezzo Raffaella Lupinacci with whose voice Pe conjoins well. I wish I could like the performance but it's lumpy rhythmically, neither flowing nor moving, and smoothed out. The third Handelian aria is Al lampo dell'armi which shows up another disappointing feature. There is no conductor to inject electricity into these performances and the playing of La Lira di Orfeo, concertmaster Luca Giardini, does not sound inspired to overmuch vivacity. In fact, here it sounds dangerously by rote and dutiful, and neutered by the recording. There is little sense of interplay between singer and band.
Yet a number of things are excellent. Giacomelli's Il cor che sdegnato features splendidly assured virtuoso singing, poised and clear. Piccinni's Spargi omai is refined and Pe finds sufficient elasticity in the B section – in general he's scrupulous not to toy or elongate the B sections – in the same composer's Tergi le belle lagrime. There is apparently a first ever recording of Pollarolo's Sdegnoso turbine and of Non temer! which adds to the store of Caesarean opera on disc.
Eleven minutes of the recital is given over to a so-called Bonus Track, Handel's Scherza infida from Ariodante. This is an envoi obviously unrelated to the Caesar principle that has motored the disc, and whilst it is in many ways beautifully sung all those colours that Pe writes about sound all too strenuous and the result is lacking in expressive feeling; too many embellishments in the da capo, too, once again.
I am sorry not to be more appreciative of the work that has obviously gone into producing this disc. I wish the recording quality had been better, that a conductor had been engaged, and that there had not been so many mid-tempo lyrical arias. There's a lack of variety. I also think in future it might be in Pe's best interests to avoid implicitly criticising singers of the recent past – Bowman, for example, was technically vulnerable and frequently hooty but he could be very moving – and just concentrate on the singing.

Q: How to make text appear in separate div onClick for area of Image Map? So I have an image map and I'm trying to make the sections of the image map clickable so that when the area is clicked, text will appear on the side of the image in a separate div.
All I have now is the image map:

<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area alt="" title="" href="#" shape="rect" coords="33,110,395,217" />

<area alt="" title="" href="#" shape="rect" coords="410,281,586,337" />

I found this script that does what I want:
 function changeText(value) {
 var div = document.getElementById("div");
 var text = "";

if (value == 1) text += "a";
if (value == 2) text += "b";
if (value == 3) text += "c";
if (value == 4) text += "d";
if (value == 5) text += "e";
if (value == 6) text += "f";
if (value == 7) text += "g";

div.innerHTML = text;}

and it came with this code:

The script works but I tried integrating it into the image map but it doesn't work. Please help! How do I do this?

A: I did a fiddle. I hope that it help you. Mouse over the image and click on the points of coordinates

$(function(){
    $("#Map area").click(function(){
        $("#show_message").html($(this).attr('title'));
    });
});

In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to create a frosted glass effect in CSS. You'll have seen this in action in UIs such as on MacOS and iOS, even Windows nowadays, so it's definitely a trending effect. We can emulate frosted glass in websites using CSS, and in this tutorial I'll show you two ways to do it.
The first method has quite wide browser support, but it requires more CSS than the second approach we'll look at.
We do this because children of the body will inherit this background image and we want to keep it at the same size.
This gives us most of what we want, but it's not quite there yet. We now need (as we discussed earlier) to set an inherited background to both the pseudo element and its parent.
Now for an alternative method which uses a little less styling, but enjoys slightly less browser support. We begin with the same .container element and apply the same cover background image to the body element.
Then we add the filter (you might need to include the appropriate prefix for your browser, or just check autoprefixer if you're in Codepen).
The downslide to using the second of these methods is the poor browser support. Right now you can expect support in Edge, and Safari, but that's about it. Still, this frosted glass effect can be a very nice way of enhancing UIs for browsers that do support it.

A new robotics field lab opens its doors on the TU Delft Campus: SAM|XL. Manufacturers of lightweight construction can use the collaborative research centre for automating the production of aircraft wings, ships and wind turbines.
SAM|XL (Smart Advanced Manufacturing XL) was officially labelled a Smart Industry Fieldlab during a festive ceremony in its new building at the Rotterdamseweg on Thursday.
"Automating the production process of lightweight constructions has many advantages", CEO Kjelt van Rijswijk says. "As yet, no one is able to achieve this on a large scale because of the technical challenges. One needs large, advanced, smart robots that can handle thin and floppy materials and constructions. At SAM|XL, manufacturers can join forces with scientists and other partners to develop intelligent systems for this." Students from Delft University of Technology are actively involved in the new field lab as well.
The building at the Rotterdamseweg is still empty.
Over the coming months, it will be transformed into an advanced development and test centre. As the name suggests, everything in the new field lab will be extra-large. It will have giant robots for the production of large panels that will be processed into airplane wings or turbine blades. The expectation is that SAM|XL will be operational mid-2019.
SAM|XL was set-up by Delft University of Technology, Fokker-GKN and the region. Founding participants are Defence & Space Nederland, KVE, GTM, Airborne and Suzlon. Corporates as well as SMEs can join SAM|XL.

Astros Get to Dodgers' Bullpen
October 26, 2017 by Digital Sports Desk
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers' bullpen was almost perfect as the team rolled into the World Series.
On Wednesday, Los Angeles' relievers were perfectly miserable.
Houston broke a streak of 28 consecutive scoreless by the Dodgers' relief corps in the eighth inning Wednesday, then hit four homers and scored five runs in the final three innings of a 7-6, 11-inning victory to even the World Series at one game apiece.
The teams head to Houston for Games 3, 4 and 5.
"It was an emotional roller coaster," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "There were some big plays defensively. Some big pitches made. Obviously some big hits and big homers.
"Those guys, to their credit against a very good bullpen, they tacked on runs, kept going."
Marwin Gonzalez hit a bases-empty homer off closer Kenley Jansen to tie the game at 3 leading off the ninth inning. The Astros scored two runs apiece off Josh Fields in the 10th and Brandon McCarthy in the 11th for their first World Series victory in the 56-year history of the franchise.
The Dodgers' bullpen had not been scored upon since the Arizona Diamondbacks' Brandon Drury hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning of Los Angeles' 8-5 victory in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. The Dodgers swept that series in three games, and the relievers followed with 14 scoreless innings against the Chicago Cubs while winning the NL Championship Series four games to one.
Jansen, who converted 41 of 42 save chances in the regular season and was 4-for-4 in the postseason before Wednesday, blew a save for the first time in his 13 postseason chances. He had not allowed a run in nine innings this postseason.
"He's been virtually unhittable," Roberts said. "Gonzalez put a good swing on an 0-2 pitch, and it was center cut. You tip your hat to him. Where Kenley's workload, where he was at, that part of the order, it's a great spot for him. And it just doesn't always go as planned."
Jansen entered with a 3-1 lead after Brandon Morrow gave up a leadoff double in the eighth inning, and Correa's single up the middle made it 3-2. Jansen has appeared in nine of the Dodgers' 10 postseason games, although because of their quick series victories over the Diamondbacks and the Cubs, he was making only his second appearance in back-to-back games.
"Nobody said it was going to be easy," Jansen said.
McCarthy was the Dodgers' last bullpen arm — the only pitchers unused were Clayton Kershaw, Yu Darvish and Alex Wood — because Roberts started early, removing Rich Hill after he gave up one run in four innings.
It was his usual strategy. Hill had not faced a lineup a third time through the order this season. Kenta Maeda got four outs, Tony Watson two. The trouble started when Ross Stripling walked the only batter he faced in the seventh, forcing a quick move to Morrow.
Hill gave up three hits and three walks while striking out seven, and Roberts allowed that "there was a chance" he could have gone out for the fifth with his pitch count at 60.
"I just felt that right there with the top of their order coming up, and with the way our bullpen has been throwing, you look back behind that, we had three scoreless innings after that," Roberts said.
"So just trust the guys behind him. The bottom line is, I'll take Kenley any day of the week with a one-run lead going into the ninth inning."

Houston at LA Dodgers
Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES – Justin Verlander is 4-0 during his stellar postseason run and looks to continue the success when the Houston Astros visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday. Verlander will aim to help Houston knot the series after Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner guided the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory in Game 1.
Verlander was acquired from Detroit by the Astros to fortify their rotation, and now he's a symbol of a franchise looking for its first World Series title in the wake of a damaging hurricane that ravaged Houston in August. "In any organization, the opportunity to win your first championship is something special, but really with what's going on in Houston now specifically, I think it makes it even that much more special," Verlander said during his press conference on Tuesday. "I mean, given this opportunity, if we come away successful, you leave a legacy and mark on people that won't be forgotten." Kershaw allowed one run and three hits with 11 strikeouts over seven innings while Turner belted a tiebreaking two-run homer (his fourth of the postseason) in Tuesday's victory. "You enjoy it while it happens," Turner told reporters, "and then you go home and you find a way to prepare, and we've got to figure out how to beat Verlander."
TV: 8:09 p.m. ET, FOX
PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Justin Verlander (4-0, 1.46 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Rich Hill (0-0, 3.00)
Verlander has a stellar 11-5 postseason record, but none of those victories occurred in the World Series, where he went 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA in three career starts for the Tigers. The 34-year-old's arrival in Houston changed the complexion of the rotation, providing the team with a second ace alongside Dallas Keuchel as well as raising the stature of the organization. "We understand the magnitude of his performance and the magnitude of his entrance into our clubhouse," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said at a press conference. "The way he's fit in, the way he's been intellectually curious on how to get better, but let's be honest, ultimately the way he's performed, has been second to none."
Hill is 1-2 with a 3.96 ERA in six career postseason starts and is making his World Series debut. The 37-year-old is trying to keep the moment in perspective after his major-league career appeared to be finished in the summer of 2015, when he signed with the independent Long Island Ducks, but 26 of his 50 career regular-season victories have come since that stint. "I wouldn't change that for anything," Hill said at his press conference on Tuesday. "It was learning, reigniting that fire, reigniting that passion for what we do out there on the field. And really getting back into disassociating yourself with the results, and just understanding that it is a pitch-to-pitch process and understanding that the moment is all that matters."
WALK-OFFS
1. Dodgers CF Chris Taylor led off the bottom of the first inning Tuesday by slugging the first pitch from Keuchel 447 feet over the wall in left field for his third homer of the postseason.
2. Astros 3B Alex Bregman went deep for the third time this postseason to account for his team's lone run in Game 1.
3. Turner has driven in a franchise-record 14 runs this postseason, and his 26 career RBIs match the club mark set by Hall-of-Famer Duke Snider.

Temperature: 103°
Special to Digital Sports Desk by The Sports Xchange
LOS ANGELES – Clayton Kershaw's intimidation started early Tuesday, well before first pitch, when he came out to "warm up" wearing a jacket as Southern California temperatures soared well over 100 degrees. Kershaw's pregame routine was not to be trifled with, especially since it was his first World Series appearance, and his in-game performance looked just as familiar.
The Dodgers ace struck out 11 over seven innings, and Chris Taylor and Justin Turner homered as Los Angeles won Game 1 of the World Series 3-1 over the Houston Astros.
Brandon Morrow pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning and Kenley Jansen worked a perfect ninth for the save as the Dodgers came out on top in their first World Series game in 29 years.
The Astros are now 0-5 in their World Series history. They were swept in 2005 by the Chicago White Sox.
It was vintage Kershaw as he allowed no walks and three hits, including a home run by Alex Bregman. The owner of a 2.36 ERA in nearly 2,000 regular-season innings, Kershaw has dominated plenty of times in the fashion he did Tuesday. However, the postseason has been a different animal altogether for the three-time Cy Young Award winner.
With the Tuesday outing, Kershaw improved to 7-7 with a 4.21 ERA in the postseason. The 11 strikeouts were one shy of his career playoff best. Opponents might have gotten to Kershaw in earlier playoff rounds, but his record is now spotless after one World Series appearance.
"Well, I don't know if you can decipher between a postseason start and a World Series start," Kershaw said. "The adrenaline, I feel like every game is so much more magnified. You can't really tell the difference between another postseason (game) or a World Series start. But definitely feels good to say it was the World Series, and it feels good to say we're 1-0. And we have to come back tomorrow and do it again."
The Dodgers got all the offense they needed courtesy of co-National League Championship Series co-MVPs Taylor and Turner.
Taylor hit Astros starter Dallas Keuchel's first pitch of the game some 447 feet into the left field seats, raising the decibel level even higher from a crowd of 54,253 at Dodger Stadium.
Taylor became the fourth player in World Series history to lead off Game 1 of the World Series with a home run, joining Kansas City's Alcides Escobar (2015), Boston's Dustin Pedroia (2007) and Baltimore's Don Buford (1969).
"That's some of the fastest bat speed you'll see in the big leagues," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said of Taylor. "I don't know how it measures out. By the eye, it's pretty impressive. He jump-started them tonight on the first pitch. He got a first-pitch fastball to hit."
After Bregman's blast in the fourth, Turner drove one just over the wall in left field in the sixth for a two-run shot that also scored Taylor. Turner's four home runs this postseason are one shy of the club record for a single postseason set by Davey Lopes in 1978.
Turner has 26 postseason RBIs with the Dodgers, tying Duke Snider for the franchise record. No Dodger has ever recorded more RBIs than the 14 Turner has recorded in these playoffs.
After a strikeout and a foul out in his first two at-bats, Turner said he adjusted from a 34 1/2-ounce bat to one that was 33 1/2 ounces. The in-game adjustment worked.
"That was probably just as loud as it was on the walk-off homer (in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Chicago Cubs)," Turner said. "That's the most electric I've ever seen (Dodger Stadium), which it should be as it's the first World Series here in 29 years. Our fans are fired up, pumped, and the buzz around the city is crazy."
Kershaw, utilizing a sharp slider, dominated early, striking out five in his first three innings. He didn't give up a hit until Josh Reddick's single in the third inning.
In the fourth, Kershaw's issue with the long ball this postseason surfaced when Bregman homered to left for his third of the playoffs. It was the seventh home run that Kershaw has given up this postseason. Kershaw still struck out the side in the fourth.
"I think (Houston) is a really good hitting team," Kershaw said. "They hit a lot of homers and don't strike out. There's little room for error. So it's important for me to establish pitches, be able to throw multiple things for strikes, and thankful I was able to do that tonight.
"I made a few mistakes — obviously Bregman got me — then I threw one down the middle to (Carlos) Correa that he popped up; that could've gone a long way, too. For the most part, though, I'll take it."
Bregman went 1-for-4 to raise postseason average to .196. Five of his eight hits in the playoffs have been for extra bases.
Despite striking out four times, George Springer will be back in the leadoff spot in Game 2, Hinch said.
"He had a tough night at work, and a lot of our guys did," Hinch said. "I know George has struggled. If he hits the first pitch (Wednesday) into the gap, or hits a single, or hits the ball out of the ballpark, you'd be amazed how good he feels."
NOTES: Astros RHP Justin Verlander, the AL Championship Series MVP, will start Game 2 on Wednesday against Dodgers LHP Rich Hill. … The Dodgers added SS Corey Seager and RHP Brandon McCarthy to the World Series roster, dropping OF Curtis Granderson and C Kyle Farmer. Seager missed the NL Championship Series with a back injury. … The Astros did not make any changes from their roster in the ALCS. … Houston 3B Alex Bregman, at 23 years, 208 days, became the youngest American League player to hit a home run in a World Series since Manny Ramirez (23 years, 148 days) in 1995. … Astros SS Carlos Correa became the seventh native of Puerto Rico to bat cleanup in a World Series game, joining teammate Carlos Beltran.
World Series: Turner Goes Light
LOS ANGELES – (Special to Digital Sports Desk by The Sports Xchange) – Before his plate appearance in the sixth inning on Tuesday, Justin Turner opted to return to a lighter bat, his normal 33 1/2-ouncer. That worked, too, like just about everything else he and the Los Angeles Dodgers have tried this year.
"My first two at-bats I was swinging a little bit bigger bat," Turner said. "And I got beat (inside) a couple of times. So I'm going to switch back. Good thing I did, because I didn't get beat in the third time."
Turner's two-run homer with the lighter bat was his fourth of the postseason, and his second straight game-decider at Dodger Stadium, leading Los Angeles to a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the World Series.
His three-run, walk-off home run with two outs in the ninth inning gave the Dodgers a 4-1 victory over the Cubs in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers finished off that series in five games.
On Tuesday, Turner hit a 1-2 pitch off Dallas Keuchel to break a 1-1 tie and give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning. It was Los Angeles' first World Series appearance since Kirk Gibson's fist-pumping, walk-off homer triggered their 1988 championship.
The pitch before the homer appeared a little low and outside but it was called a strike, and Turner checked with plate umpire Phil Cuzzi before stepping back in.
"Just asked Phil where he had that pitch," Turner said. "He said it was a good pitcher's pitch. I told him I thought it was a little low and off the plate. And that was it. You step out and you take a deep breath and regroup, and go back to trying to battle one of the best pitchers in the game.
"You can't gripe about it for too long or you're going to be walking back to the dugout."
Turner has made some Dodgers history nine games into the postseason. He has 14 RBIs this October, a franchise record for a single postseason.
His 26 career postseason RBIs are tied with Brooklyn/Los Angeles center fielder Duke Snider for the most in franchise history, and his four homers are one short of Davey Lopes' franchise record for one postseason.
"You look at his career and this guy, I mean, all-time records for RBI," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "He just comes up with big hits. The on-base. The OPS. All those things. The home runs, it's hard to explain.
"But he's that guy that you want in the big spots, and he doesn't scare off."
Turner grew up in Los Angeles with the Dodgers, and before every game he walks through the hallway near the home clubhouse that contains pictures and memorabilia of the franchise greats. The Dodgers are playing this Series on the 70th anniversary of their 1947 NL pennant, when Jackie Robinson was a rookie.
Turner said he ran into Sandy Koufax before the game Tuesday.
"Sandy told me told me today, 162 (regular-season games) is work. Once you get to the playoffs, it's fun," Turner said.
"I thought that was a pretty cool way to look at it, and I agree with him a hundred percent. During the regular season it's work, it's a grind. Once you get onto these stages, it's fun.
"And just to be in the moment and soak it in and take a step back and look around and see almost 60,000 people in Dodger Stadium on their feet going crazy, it's pretty special."

Dodgers, Astros Square-Off Tonight
LOS ANGELES – (Special to Digital Sports Desk by The Sports Xchange) – If regular-season wins are an accurate indicator, the 2017 World Series shapes up as one of the best matchups in decades.
It will be the 104-win Los Angeles Dodgers against the 101-win Houston Astros, just the eighth time in baseball history — and first since 1970 — that the two teams playing for the championship hit triple-digit victories. And with temperatures in Los Angeles expected to soar to the 100-degree mark, the heat will be on in more ways than one.
Brian McCann and Dallas Keuchel (60)
The Astros and Dodgers were National League West rivals as late as 1993, and Houston only moved into the American League in 2013. The clubs staged an epic playoff series in 1981 when the likes of Nolan Ryan and Fernando Valenzuela were leading the charge.
On Tuesday, it will be another classic duel in Astros-Dodgers history as Houston's Dallas Keuchel will face Los Angeles' Clayton Kershaw in Game 1. Both left-handers are former Cy Young Award winners.
"They're a great team," Kershaw said about the Astros on Monday. "Their whole lineup is really solid. You saw that all year. They won 100 games for a reason. It starts with (Jose) Altuve and (Carlos) Correa in the middle of that lineup. They're both exceptional baseball players. Really all the way down (the lineup), they have a lot of guys that swing the bats well."
Although he sounded choked up on multiple occasions after the Dodgers advanced to the World Series with a victory over the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series, Kershaw says he is locked in now that Los Angeles finally learned its opponent late Saturday night.
And while an emotional release before the World Series might sound a bit premature, remember that for all of Kershaw's regular-season greatness, his MVP and three Cy Young Awards, he is also known for his less-than-commanding postseason results: 6-7 with a 4.40 ERA.
Some of Kershaw's postseason struggles have been because of short rest between outings. After starting the Dodgers' NLCS clincher at Wrigley Field last week, he will pitch on regular rest in Game 1.
Keuchel has shown a far better playoff acumen, going 4-1 over his six postseason appearances with a 2.59 ERA, although it has come in over a third fewer games than Kershaw. Keuchel went 1-1 in the just-concluded AL Championship Series against the New York Yankees, posting a 3.09 ERA while striking out 18 batters and walking just two in 11 2/3 innings.
"They'll be the deepest team that we've played, hands down, and my job is to go out there and get the job done," Keuchel said. "But obviously (Justin) Turner is killing it right now, and (Yasiel) Puig always presents a challenge. He likes to swing the bat. And if you don't make quality pitches, he'll make you pay. But you could talk about Chris Taylor, you could talk about (Enrique) Hernandez, who used to be with us. Logan Forsythe, who I went to college with. Top to bottom, you could talk about everybody."
A season ago, Keuchel would have salivated at the chance to face the Dodgers' lineup. Los Angeles was historically bad against left-handed pitching, yet still managed to worm its way into the NLCS. This year, the Dodgers' offense has been transformed.
Turner has been worth every penny of his newly minted four-year, $64 million deal, while Puig might be playing his best baseball since his splashy debut in 2013. Taylor, who struggled to move past Triple-A in the Seattle Mariners' organization, has transformed himself into a leadoff man with power, while rookie Cody Bellinger was a huge reason the Dodgers went on a 44-7 stretch in the middle of the season.
And then there is reigning NL Rookie of the Year Corey Seager, who will be added to the active roster despite missing the NLCS because of a back injury. Seager and his sweet lefty swing might be reduced to designated hitter duties when the series shifts to Houston on Friday.
"We're not going to concede anything because we've got a pretty good team on our own side," said Astros manager A.J. Hinch, who announced that Jake Marisnick (thumb) would not be on the World Series roster.
"(We have) a lot of respect for (Dodgers manager) Dave (Roberts) and the guys that are across the way, Clayton Kershaw, all the way through their entire roster. They didn't sneak up on anybody this year. There were some crazy performances out of them, but we'll compete with them. We'll do our best."
The Astros, meanwhile, might be as balanced as teams get when considering pitching, offense, baserunning and defense. They are tied for the lead among all playoff teams with 89 hits over 11 games while striking out 6.8 times per game. The Dodgers have 73 hits in eight games, striking out 8.5 times per game.
Altuve leads the charge for the Astros, batting .400 this postseason with a .500 on-base percentage while hitting five home runs and collecting eight walks. First baseman Yuli Gurriel might not have any postseason home runs, but he is hitting the ball as hard as anybody and has posted a .366 postseason batting average with a .409 OBP.
Add Correa's nine RBIs and George Springer's 10 hits, and the Astros are showing offensive balance in October.
Yet the talk before the series began was the Dodgers facing Keuchel in Game 1, followed by Justin Verlander in Game 2. Verlander will pitch opposite Dodgers lefty Rich Hill.
"It's going to be a great series, but looking at the 1-2 (in the rotation) that they're running out at you, you know you've got to beat them a couple of times in a long series," Roberts said. "It's going to be a fun series."

Q: Git version control with multiple projects & users on a single server Our server is setup to have multiple projects, which are worked on simultaneously by multiple users, located on the same server with each project sharing some source code. The setup is as follows:

*

*/src/shared/ Code shared by multiple projects

*/src/project_code/project1 code specific to project1

*/src/project_code/project2 code specific to project2

*etc.

*/projects/project1 input and output for project1

*/projects/project2 input and output for project2

*etc.

We would like to have the source code (shared and project specific) under version control with git (but not the project data due to its size).
Our proposed solution to this is to have a single git repository for all source code (in /src). Then users would checkout the entire repository into the relevant project directory (e.g. /projects/project1) to work on the project (i.e. into /projects/project1/src). This is to avoid changes to any shared source code necessary for a project affecting other users working on other projects on the server. This single repository solution seems to make sense because the project specific code refers to the shared code and should therefore be tracked together. The plan would then be for bug fixes/improvements to be committed back to /src as necessary. At the end of project users can commit a specific version of all source code, so at a later date, this version can be checked out to replicate creation of all data for a specific project using the appropriate version of the project specific and shared source code.
The main disadvantage to this system is that each project directory will contain a copy of the shared source code, plus source code for every other project. However, since the source code is comparatively small, this is not a large overhead in terms of hard drive space
I would be very keen to hear any better solutions to this issue, before we commit to the above plan.

A: You want separate repos for the shared code and each project. Each project would have the shared code repo as a submodule.
Your tree would look something like:

*

*/project1/src - Project 1's "local" source

*/project1/lib/shared - Submodule of shared repo

*/project2/src - Project 2's "local" source

*/project2/lib/shared - Submodule of shared repo

See here for more info about submodules: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules

Supporting the Coastal Zone Management and Marine Spatial Planning in the Mediterranean and Black Sea
PEGASO-final-conference_1.jpg
Integrated coastal zone management is perhaps especially challenging on densely populated shores shared by many nations. The PEGASO project was created to support common, integrated policies for the coastal, marine and maritime realms of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins. It held its final meeting last week in Antalya, Turkey, on 14-17 January 2014.
PEGASO, or "People for Ecosystem-based Governance in Assessing Sustainable development of Ocean and Coast", was a project of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. Over the course of 4 years, the project aimed to develop innovative methods and approaches to implement the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Protocol for the Mediterranean that was signed and ratified by the Contracting Parties of the Barcelona Convention. PEGASO also aimed to explore the feasibility of developing a similar policy document for the Black Sea countries.
Partners of PEGASO and representatives of key institutions, including the United Nations Environment Programme - Mediterranean Action Plan (UNEP-MAP), the Permanent Secretariat for the Black Sea Commission, UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO) and networks from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea participated in the final meeting.
PEGASO was successful in bridging the gap between science and policy-making by providing easy-to-use tools for the final users, to help them make science-based decisions that promote the sustainable development of the coastal and marine areas of the two basins. The ICZM processes had recognized several research gaps for which a number of tools were needed.
From a methodological perspective, PEGASO's most important achievement was perhaps demonstrating that the integration of certain tools can help to describe complex phenomena, despite having limited access to high-resolution data. Not only do these tools improve the understanding of marine and coastal processes, but they can also be applied to socio-economic dynamics, to interactions between terrestrial and marine processes, and –critically– to model future conditions in order to guide the most appropriate governance framework.
IOC-UNESCO was a key partner and led the development of a set of indicators linked to policy objectives that were tested in a number of case studies in both basins. The Commission also led the development of a methodology for integrated regional assessment of coastal and marine areas which can be used as a blueprint for assessments in other regions of the world.

William Bolthouse slated to speak in alumni week chapel
; Cedarville News William Bolthouse slated to speak in alumni week chapel
William Bolthouse, founder and CEO of the Bolthouse Foundation, will speak in chapel at Cedarville University on October 5, 2017, as part of alumni week.
The Bolthouse Foundation was founded in 1988 with the purpose of glorifying Jesus Christ through support of charitable and religious organizations whose ministry, goals and operating principles are consistent with evangelical Christianity, as described in The Bolthouse Foundation Statement of Faith.
Born and raised in Michigan, Bolthouse graduated from Michigan State University in 1964 and moved to Bakersfield, California, in 1985 when he became president of Wm. Bolthouse Farms, the family business founded by his grandfather.
Bolthouse Farms had long been the leading supplier of carrots to the Midwest and in 1990, under Bolthouse's direction, introduced SHORTCUTS: ready-to-eat, cut and peeled carrots. The popularity of this new product grew and resulted in the construction of a larger plant in 1994 and 1999. Under Bolthouse's leadership, Bolthouse Farms became the largest carrot producer in the United States.
In 2005, Bolthouse sold the company and is using the proceeds to fund missions work around the world through the Bolthouse Foundation.
Bolthouse and his wife, Nora, created the "The William J. and Nora J. Bolthouse Scholarship" in 1994 for Cedarville University undergraduate students. Primary consideration is given to students who have graduated from Bakersfield Christian High School. Financial need is also considered.
During Cedarville's alumni week, Bolthouse and his wife will be presented with the Honorary Alumni of the Year award.


1. Delegate the day's tasks to a trusted person.
On your wedding day, you should be able to relax and enjoy the moment with your spouse. The last thing you want is to be running around trying to set up centerpieces and direct guests on your big day. You can avoid this by appointing someone to be in charge of the wedding day festivities. This person will supervise vendors and decorating, in addition to making sure everyone gets to the reception on time. Some people like to hire a wedding planner to take care of this task, and depending on your reception venue, you may be able to utilize their event coordinator. Otherwise, you can get a friend or family member to take on the task.
2. Consider taking photos before the wedding.
Traditionally, the bride and groom don't see each other until the wedding ceremony, and photos are taken after the wedding itself. However, after your wedding, you may be anxious to get to the reception. Especially if you've been busy all day, you may not have had time to eat, and you might be looking forward to sharing a meal with your new spouse. Get to the party faster by taking photos before the wedding. You'll look fresh and beautiful, and you'll have more time to get the pictures just right without worrying about keeping your guests waiting.
3. Choose the best reception venue.
The reception is the best part of any wedding. After the formalities are over, it's time to relax with your loved ones and celebrate your union. The reception venue you choose matters a lot because it will set the tone for the entire event. Choose a reception venue that suits your needs. If you have a small guest list, you may prefer a more intimate, cozy venue. On the other hand, large guest lists will be more suited to a bigger venue, such as a banquet hall. No matter what you choose, it can be decorated to match your wedding decor so you can have a magical wedding day.

Success of a digital campaign depends on multiple factors including your bid price. Such operations are mostly repetitive and one needs to analyse multiple data points, which, with the advancement of Data Sciences, are best done by machines and not humans. Example, we will see AI recommending win bid price with far more accuracy which in general is good fast forward for ad tech and publisher industries. This also brings in the efficiencies of automation in desilting fraud, channel & creative attribution etc.
2. Do you think advertisers are making full use of available technologies to improve ROI?
Unfortunately, most of the advertisers look at marketing from a short-term ROI perspective. Few have ventured into data and technology. When you continue to look at a goal from ROI perspective, the risk-taking appetite to explore technologies decrease.
Some of them, that I know of, in BFSI, media and retail have begun to invest in technologies and their CXOs have taken up the mandate to include the ad-tech stack into the core biz-tech stack.
There is a lot of scope to work in this space.
3. What do you think will be the long-term impact of GDPR on the data supply chain?
In the long run, the user privacy concerns will go down considerably. Publishers would become consent gatekeepers and high-quality data would be available in a much more structured way. Also advertisers will learn to respect user privacy and brand, in turn, will be the biggest beneficiaries by way of controlling budget wastages, and earning user loyalty and respect.
4. What are the key disruptors that businesses should take note of?
World wide data privacy frameworks will change a lot of things people do in ad landscape. The privacy frameworks also make it mandatory to have data sharing framework between controllers. Such regulations will break the monopoly of data that is enjoyed by Google, FB or other walled gardens. This will open a lot of possibilities for data biz-based investments in this zone, in turn bringing a lot of innovation thereafter. Secondly, AI & ML are today in reach of only a few. Newer biz formats will enable AI/ML to reach masses giving them clearing ground to compete with bigger players. Most of the transparency and discrepancy issues can be resolved by some or other flavour of blockchain. These three things will make heads spin for few years to come.
5. What is the role of the CTO in TORC AI?
TorcAI is a very unique entity. We engage with our clients at CXO levels and they look at us to drive one of the most complex biz and tech strategy that an organization could have. Our IP is designs and patterns that we learn and discover. We look at tech as enablers and are not bound by it. It's like, when you want to play the master tune you need to become master of the piano, then forget what you have learned and then play the tune. Only then can a master piece be achieved. For us, our clients want us to deliver a master piece for them.
As a CTO, I need to stay in tune with architectural designs for high performance; algorithms that become building block and constantly contemplate on tech & biz models that our clients should pick. TorcAI is a team work, and tech masterpieces need a team of mavericks. At the end of the day, I have a lot of fun working on complex deliveries along with my team.
6. What advice would you give your 21-year-old self?
A lot of things, let's say top three are:
1. Listen to everyone and everything. Use what you hear and think about it. Usually the important things, you don't understand it the first time. Make sure you have understood before you decide to use or let go.
2. Have patience, it's not about high speed or slow speed, it's about controlled speed.
3. Have faith in yourself and constantly evaluate yourself and your team critically.
Raghavendra is the technical lead and a thought leader. With over 18 years of experience in dealing with marketing platforms, his firm belief in simplifying complex technologies and solutions. He played key roles in envisaging and delivering large, complex and new market models for SDP, CMS & Programmatic. Setup high performance teams for B2C, B2B2C and B2B products.

Who Are Michelle Carter's Parents, And What Role Did They Play During Her Trial?
Her father wrote a letter asking a judge for leniency.
By Korin Miller
At some point over the last few years, you may have heard about the chilling, confusing, and incredibly tragic story of Michelle Carter, the 17-year-old girl who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for encouraging her then-boyfriend Conrad Roy III to commit suicide at age 18 on July 12, 2014.
The controversial trial captivated—and even divided—the nation, as the court decided whether the text messages Carter sent encouraging Roy to take his own life were, in fact, illegal or simply immoral.
Now, a new HBO documentary, I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter, raises that question once again. The two-part film not only recaps her case, but reexamines it, complete with new interviews from Roy's family and Carter's lawyers. Notably, both Michelle Carter and her parents declined to take part in the documentary.
Airing on July 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. ET, the documentary film tries to present a different side of Carter, who is currently serving a 15-month jail sentence that began in February 2019. Despite losing their appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Michelle's lawyers are nonetheless appealing her case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
And while Carter's parents, David and Gail Carter, chose not to appear in the new documentary, they were present in court throughout their daughter's entire trial.
But, who are Michelle Carter's parents, exactly?
Where Is Michelle Carter Now?
Hailing from Plainville, Massachusetts—where they raised their daughter—David and Gail were, by all accounts, fairly normal suburban parents. David was the sales manager at a forklift supplier, while Gail staged interiors for real estate agents, per Esquire.
Before Carter was charged, Gail showed support for Roy's mother.
According to Esquire, in August 2014—before Carter's mother knew her daughter was involved in Roy's suicide—she texted his mom, Lynn Roy, "I think about you, your family, and Conrad every day. My heart breaks for all of you, as well as for Michelle, who loved Conrad as much as a 17 year old girl could."
Here's what else Roy's mother, Lynn, had to say about her son during the trial:
The Carters have repeatedly defended their daughter.
In March 2015, Carter's parents released a statement to the Boston Herald, in which they said she wasn't the "monster" the public often called her.
"Our hearts have and remain broken for the Roy family. For everyone that does not know our daughter, she is not the villain the media is portraying her to be," they wrote. "She is a quiet, kind, and sympathetic young girl. She tried immensely to help Mr. Roy in his battle with depression. We know that once all of the facts are released, our daughter will be found innocent."
Gail shared photos on social media of her daughter at Disney World after Roy's death.
Many were shocked in May 2015 when news broke that Carter's mom, Gail, had posted several photos on Facebook of Carter at Walt Disney World with friends.
After Michelle was arrested, she was banned by a judge from using social media, but Gail continued to update her Facebook page with photos of her at prom, Disney World, etc. "'It just doesn't feel like she's grieving—and that's really confusing for us," Conrad's aunt, Becky Maki, told the Boston Herald.
David pleaded with a judge for leniency in Carter's jail sentence.
At one point, David even wrote a heartfelt letter to Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz, asking him to be lenient on Carter.
In a letter written to Moniz in 2017 that was obtained by the Boston Herald, David wrote, "I pray to God you will take into consideration that Michelle was a troubled, vulnerable teenager in an extremely difficult situation and made a tragic mistake."
All Of Michelle Carter's Texts To Conrad Roy
"I am 100 percent sure she was only trying to do what in her mind was right for Conrad," he continued. "She has accepted the court's decision and I hope you will consider a term of probation and continued counseling for her and us. She will forever live with what she has done and I know will be a better person because of it."
He also submitted a character statement to the court.
In that statement, David suggested an answer to the question on everyone's minds: Why did Michelle Carter do it? "I am convinced the medication she was taking affected her mental state which made it difficult for her to distinguish between right and wrong," he wrote.
This was—at least partially–informed by the testimony of the defense's expert witness, Dr. Peter Breggin, MD, a psychiatrist, who said Michelle suffered from "involuntary intoxication" after switching her prescription antidepressants from Prozac to Celexa in April 2014, per Esquire.
It should be noted that, by Dr. Breggin's own admission during his cross-examination, "involuntary intoxication" is a "legal term," not an official mental health term found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Despite Carter's parents conspicuous absence from I Love You, Now Die, this may not be the last the world hears of them. It remains to be seen if they, or any of their family members, will speak out once the documentary premieres.

Q: Add CSS class dynamically in code behind using c# Hi i want to add CSS class dynamically in code behind.
It's easy to add, but I have little different structure.
I have one master page which has one div like this:

//  some content

I want class="contnav_bg" to be applied only to dashboard.aspx page.
Right now it applies to all pages.
Can I have to create function for it or anything else.
Thanks

A: I would use jQuery for this.
In the markup of your Dashboard.aspx page, add the following:

If you're new to jQuery, here's a "getting started" tutorial: http://learn.jquery.com/javascript-101/getting-started/

A: If you don't want to do this server side you can do it via some jQuery which in my opinion is much cleaner. Add this to your masterpage:

It will look at the current url and only apply the class if it the user is on the dashboard.aspx page.
Alternatively, place the code directly in the dashboard.aspx template only, instead of putting it in the master page:

A: If you want only some of the pages to have that class, then don't keep it in the masterpage. If you want to set it on the server, you have to be able to access the DIV there. So you should make it a server div:

Note that when you do this, the ID will be changed, so any JavaScript which uses it may break.
Then, when you execute your server code, you can get the div and add an attribute, but ONLY in the Dashboard.aspx codebehind. You can do this on Page_Load:
var myDiv = this.FindControl("wrapper") as HtmlGenericControl;
myDiv.Attributes["class"] = "contnav_bg";
