Q: Pandas MultiIndex slices and indexing I'm just starting work with multiframes and I'm having a little trouble with the fairly sparse documentation and online examples on slicing and indexing.
Consider the following mutiframe
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
levels={
'produce_source':['Vendor A', 'Vendor B'],
'day':['mon','wed','fri'],
'chiller_temp':['low','mid'],
'fruit':['apples','pears','nanas']
}

index = pd.MultiIndex.from_product(levels.values(), names = list(levels.keys()))
df = pd.DataFrame(index=index)
df = df.assign(deliveries=np.random.rand(len(df)))

                                        deliveries

                                nanas     0.753034

What's the most pythonic way to achieve the following
1) View all the wed data as a slice
1a) stretch goal: don't care that 'day' is index.names[1], instead index by index name 'day'
2) Write an iterable of data only to that wed slice
3) add a chiller_temp of high for all vendors and days and fruits
I saw some slicing happening using idx = pd.IndexSlice.
idx = pd.IndexSlice
df_wip = df.loc[idx[:,'wed'], ] #1)
#would love to write to df_wip sliced df here but get slice copy warning with df_wip['deliveries'] = list(range(0,100*len(df_wip),100))
df = df.loc[idx[:,'wed'],'deliveries'] = list(range(0,100*len(df_wip),100)) #2)

This raises an error AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'loc'
df = df.loc[idx[:,'wed'],'deliveries'] = pd.Series(range(0,100*len(df_wip),100)) #2)

raises TypeError: unhashable type: 'slice'

A:
1) View all the wed data as a slice

For viewing data in a multiindex, it's a lot easier to use .xs (cross section), which allows you to specify values for specific index levels instead of making you type out all of the levels like .loc w/ slice will make you do:
df.xs('wed', level='day')

Out:
                                        deliveries
produce_source  chiller_temp    fruit
Vendor A        low             apples  0.521861
                                pears   0.741856
                                nanas   0.245843
                mid             apples  0.471135
                                pears   0.191322
                                nanas   0.153920
Vendor B        low             apples  0.711457
                                pears   0.211794
                                nanas   0.599071
                mid             apples  0.303910
                                pears   0.657348
                                nanas   0.111750

2) Write an iterable of data only to that wed slice

If I understand this correctly, you're trying to replace the values in the 'deliveries' column with a specific iterable (say a list) where the day is 'wed'. Unfortunately .loc-type replacing doesn't work in this instance. As far as I know, pandas only has easy syntax for replacing the value of a single cell in this way using .at or .loc (see this SO answer). However, we can use iterrows to accomplish this:
idx = pd.IndexSlice

# If we don't change the column's type, which was float, this will error
df['deliveries'] = df['deliveries'].astype(object)

# Loop through rows, replacing single values
# Only necessary if the new assigned value is mutable
for index, row in df.loc[idx[:,'wed'], 'deliveries':'deliveries'].iterrows():
    df.at[index, 'deliveries'] = ["We", "changed", "this"]

df.head(10)

Out:
                                            deliveries
produce_source  day  chiller_temp   fruit
Vendor A        mon  low            apples  0.0287606
                                    pears   0.264512
                                    nanas   0.238089
                     mid            apples  0.814985
                                    pears   0.590967
                                    nanas   0.919351
                wed  low            apples  [We, changed, this]
                                    pears   [We, changed, this]
                                    nanas   [We, changed, this]
                     mid            apples  [We, changed, this]

While the looping is required to my knowledge, using df.xs and then df.update instead of .loc is more understandable in my option. For example, the following code does the same as the .loc code above:
df['deliveries'] = df['deliveries'].astype(object)

# Create a temporary copy of our cross section
df2 = df.xs('wed', level='day', drop_level=False)

# The same loop as before
for index, row in df2.iterrows():
    df2.at[index, 'deliveries'] = ["We", "changed", "this"]

# Update the original df for the values we want from df2
df.update(df2, join="left", overwrite=True, filter_func=None, raise_conflict=False)

3) add a chiller_temp of high for all vendors and days and fruits

Replacing values in existing levels of a multiindex requires replacing the whole level. This can either be accomplished with df.index.set_levels (easier way IMO) or pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays. Depending on the exact use case map and/or replace might be of use. Check out this SO answer for some other examples.
df.index = df.index.set_levels(['high' for v in df.index.get_level_values('chiller_temp')], level='chiller_temp')

4) I saw some slicing happening using idx = pd.IndexSlice...This
  raises an error AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute
  'loc'...raises TypeError: unhashable type: 'slice'

For the AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'loc' and TypeError: unhashable type: 'slice' errors you just have two assignments in those lines.
It appears like your .loc syntax is correct except that you can't assign pd.Series this way without causing the cell value to be NaN (see answer to 2) for correct syntax). This works:
idx = pd.IndexSlice
df.loc[idx[:,'wed'], 'deliveries':'deliveries'] = "We changed this"

I want to know how to NOT have my phone numeber shown to the person I am calling. This is simple to do on our cellphones, but I can't see how to do this on our Xfinity phone lines.
I need to turn OFF outgoing caller ID. We have 2 phone lines in our home which are sometimes used for work-from-home calls. People we have called are constantly calling back on our HOME lines the OFFICE phone number, NOT our home number). Thanks!
Please see https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/phone-quick-reference-guide and https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/caller-id-blocking-by-line.
Followed your advice and link and Xfinity chat support took care of the "caller ID blocking by line" for me. Thanks so much for your help!

Q: Can PLSQL retrieve file from external shared folder? I'm trying to use PLSQL scheduler job to retrieve .csv file on periodic basis.
F := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ('abc.com\folder\', 'ItemStatusCSV.CSV', 'R');
    IF UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN(F) THEN

But it gives out this error:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 41
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 478

A: To access a directory from within Oracle (including PL/SQL), you need to "create a directory" using the create directory command. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_5007.htm
This does NOT create a new filesystem directory, it only makes it visible to Oracle. The directory must exist in the FS and have the necessary permissions set up in the host OS. Then the owner of your application must be granted rights on the Oracle directory object.
Has any of that been done in your case?

Rear Window is an astoundingly visual film, which may sound like an oxymoron. At it's heart, it should be, because it is a tale of a man who watches – things, people, neighbors. Cinema, to Hitchcock, is a way to observe without being observed, see without being spotted, a voyeuristic look into the lives of others.
When we meet L.B. Jefferies (James Stewart), he is a professional photographer out of commission due to a broken leg; prone to boredom, he does little else but watch his neighbors from his window; one is a dancer, one a composer, another a jewelry salesman, and a newly married couple. He passes his time by viewing the world around him, presumably partly because he is a photographer and prone to visual spectacle, but also because is human, and we have a natural tendency towards curiosity.
He becomes preoccupied especially with the salesman, Thorwald, who cares for an ailing wife. One night, he closes the blinds, a woman's scream rents the air, and Jefferies watches him leave his apartment multiple times around 3 AM, with only his briefcase in hand. He also sees him unwrap a large carving knife, and assumes the worst: Thorwald has killed his wife.
Jefferie's fiancée, Lisa, is skeptical. "What is it you're looking for?" She asks him, and he responds that it is only concern for Thorwald's wife. But what is it that Hitchcock is asking us? What are we looking for?
Voyeurism is one of the many tricks and tools in the director's bag. He is famous for subverting our expectations, reviling in our revulsions, portraying the twisted desires of people's inner consciousness. Going to the movies is a voyeuristic activity; we sit, stationary, and watch events unfold, things that happen to others that we act as witnesses to. Who else emulates this, but Jefferies, who sits, stationary in his wheelchair – even sleeping in it – watching the lives of his neighbors play out?
This film is particularly visual not only because of what it presents to us, but how its captured; you could watch this film on mute and still know every major plot development, making this film possibly the most Hitchcockian Hitchcock movie ever. Yet this presentation of the murder, the crux of the movie, is almost unseen, and rests on what Jefferies thinks he saw. His theories, even though they are accurate, are speculative and require solid proof.
Rear Window was famously shot on one full studio set – 31 apartments in total. This gives us a full range of the neighborhood and courtyard in a way that feels real; we are looking at them as they would appear in life, and we are also looking at them from Jefferies' perspective, stuck, in one apartment, looking outwards.
A majority of the scenes include Jefferies looking out of his window, or what we, and Jefferies, see going on. When we follow an action of a character outside Jefferies' apartment, we see them from the perspective that is far away and distant. We never see any other apartment from the inside, and what this does is make us look at things solely from Jefferies' point of view, because it is all Hitchcock offers us.
Hitchcock, as mentioned before, believes in telling stories visually – when dialogue is removed from the scenario, his stories are told with points of view, and objects, famously known as 'Macguffins'. This is demonstrated in Rear Window by the establishing shot, and the reverse shot, which gives us our viewer, Jefferies, and the subject, whatever he's looking at.
The film is a very one-two punch; it establishes distance from the characters and neighbors, yet makes us invest in them – Miss Lonelyhearts and Thorwald's wife; it keeps us at arm's length, yet forces us to watch from afar as events unfold. The heart of the suspense is not the actual murder, but our acting as witnesses to its aftermath, and one of the most suspenseful moments in the film is after Lisa breaks into Thorwald's apartment only to have him return, while Jefferies can do nothing but watch.
Hitchcock makes distance our enemy and our friend until the very end, when he collides the viewed with the viewer. We are subject to what happens to voyeurs, attacked in their home by the ones they were watching; Jefferies, who, as a photographer, wants to capture but not possess, observe but not touch, is faced upfront with the ramifications of his actions, good intent or no.
Rear Window is a tale of viewing and voyeurism, but it is also about its consequences – we are prey to our own perspectives, and correct or not, what we see is only ever that, subjectivity, boiled down to what Jefferies sees, and what he interprets that to mean. We can see the full picture, but, when it comes down to it, we will eventually only see what we want to.

Names of Drivers Behind Leningradsky Prospekt Crash Disclosed
The identities of the driver and two male passengers of a Subaru WRX that flew down a crowded Leningradsky Prospekt at speeds approaching 200 km/h and eventually collided into cars stuck in a traffic jam have been determined, but only one of them will be fined, News.ru reported Wednesday.
The video of the crash went viral and already has over 1 million views. It was uploaded onto YouTube on Monday by the two Subaru passengers: 24-year-old Roman Kalashnikov and 18-year-old Anton Bogorodsky.
Moscow police have also established the identity of the driver, but his name has not been disclosed.
The three racers seen in the video will not face any criminal charges because no one was injured in the accident.
But the driver will have to cover all damages caused to the other cars, police said.


Irresistibly soft, this lovey blanket with angel face makes a welcoming embrace for baby.
Appropriate for Hispanic ethnicity or darker skin tones. Also available with different skin tones.
Fell in love with this sweet angel blankie for my niece due any day now. Can't wait to give it to my great-niece when I hold her for the first time. It is so soft and I know she will love it. Thank you Hallmark for such wonderful and quality items.


We couldn't even make it one month into the year.
A 15-year old male student at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky, opened fire shortly before 9am yesterday, killing two fellow students.
According to the Kentucky State Police, a 15-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl, died. 17 others were injured, according to reports, though not all appear to be from gunshot wounds.
Kentucky State Police Commissioner Richard Sanders said during a press conference that the suspect entered the school at 7:57 a.m. and soon opened fire with a handgun. Sanders said the first 911 call came in two minutes later, and police were on scene by 8:06 a.m.
Onlookers reported that the school grounds were frenzied with parents looking for their teenagers. Many students were witnessed to be panicking and screaming, according to Newsday.
Authorities are planning to release the name of the shooter once he is indicted.
This incident marks the fatal school shooting of the new year. There was a school shooting in Texas on Monday, in which a 15-year old girl was wounded, but she is expected to make a full recovery. A 16-year old male is expected to be charged as a juvenile with aggravated assault, officials said.

US Congress Fed Up, Launches Formal Impeachment Probe of Trump
snr-editor
WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 5: Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence applaud U.S. President Donald Trump at the State of the Union address in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives at the U.S. Capitol Building on February 5, 2019 in Washington, DC.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday the House would open an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump over reports he sought foreign help to smear a political rival.
Here is a text of Pelosi's remarks:
"Last Tuesday we observed the anniversary of adoption of the Constitution on September 17th. Sadly, on that day the intelligence community inspector general formally notified the Congress that the administration was forbidding him from turning over a whistleblower complaint, on Constitution Day. This is a violation of law.
Shortly thereafter press reports began to break of a phone call by the president of the United States, calling upon a foreign power to intervene in his election. This is a breach of his constitutional responsibilities.
The facts are these: the intelligence community inspector general, who was appointed by President Trump, determined that the complaint is both of urgent concern and credible, and its disclosure, he went on to say, relates to one of the most significant and important of the director of national intelligence's responsibilities to the American people.
On Thursday, the inspector general testified before the House Intelligence Committee stating that the acting director of national intelligence blocked him from disclosing the whistleblower complaint. This is a violation of law. The law is unequivocal. It says the DNI, the director of national intelligence, shall provide Congress the full whistleblower complaint.
For more than 25 years I have served on the Intelligence Committee as a member, as the ranking member, as a part of the Gang of Four even before I was in the leadership. I was there when we created the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. That did not exist before 2004. I was there even earlier in the 90s when we wrote the whistleblower laws and continue to write them to improve them to ensure the security of our intelligence and the safety of our whistleblowers. I know what their purpose was and we proceeded with balance and caution as we wrote the laws.
I can say with authority the Trump administration's actions undermine both, our national security and our intelligence and our protections of the whistleblowers, more than both. This Thursday the acting DNI will appear before the House Intelligence Committee. At that time he must turn over the whistleblower's full complaint to the committee. He will have to choose whether to break the law or honor his responsibility to the Constitution.
On the final day of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when our Constitution was adopted, Americans gathered on the steps of Independence Hall to await the news of the government our founders had crafted. They asked Benjamin Franklin, 'what do we have, a republic or monarchy?' Franklin replied: 'a republic, if you can keep it.'
Our responsibility is to keep it. Our republic endures because of the wisdom of our Constitution enshrined in three co-equal branches of government serving as checks and balances on each other.
The actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the Constitution, especially when the president says: Article Two says I can do whatever I want.
For the past several months we have been investigating in our committees and litigating in the courts so the House can gather all the relevant facts and consider whether to exercise its full Article One powers, including a constitutional power of the utmost gravity – approval of articles of impeachment.
And this week the president has admitted to asking the president of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically. The actions of the Trump presidency revealed the dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections.
Therefore today, I am announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. I'm directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry. The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law.
Getting back to our founders, in the darkest days of the American Revolution, Thomas Payne wrote: "The times have found us." The times found them to fight for and establish our democracy. The times have found us today – not to place ourselves in the same category of greatness as our founders, but to place us in the urgency of protecting and defending our Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. In the words of Ben Franklin – to keep our republic.
I thank our chairmen, Chairman Nadler, Chairman Schiff, Chairman Nadler of Judiciary, Chairman Schiff of Intelligence, Chairman Engel of Foreign Affairs, Chairman Cummings of Oversight – and Chairman Cummings I've been in touch with constantly; he's a master of so much but including inspectors general and whistleblowers – congresswoman Richie Neal of the Ways and Means Committee, congresswoman Maxine Waters of the Financial Services Committee. And I commend all of our members, our colleagues for their thoughtful, thoughtful approach to all this, for their careful statements. God bless them and God bless America."

Plot

Thiru and Surya are inseparable friends. They are so close to each other that Thiru selects a bride for Surya and vice versa. Their friendship is carried over from their grandfathers and fathers, who were thick friends. Thiru brings up Surya's daughter because he has no children. Shankara wants to separate them and does all he could to. Surya's sister becomes pregnant due to a love affair with Shankara's brother. On the eve of her wedding, Divya, Thiru's wife, helps her run away with the guy she loves. This breaks the friendship between the two as Surya's mother poisons his ears against Thiru. As expected, Shankara is behind this because he wants to avenge the death of his father Easwaramoorthy, who was killed by Thiru's father Vetrishwaran, an honest police inspector. Finally, in the climax, the two destroy Shankara, resolve their differences, and unite in the end.

The Story: Carl F. Bucherer is a Swiss watch company based in Lucerne, Switzerland, which manufactures luxury men's and women's watches. Since its founding in 1888, the company has been wholly owned by the Bucherer family, making Carl F. Bucherer one of the oldest luxury Swiss watchmakers continuously held by the founding family. The company is run by the original family's third generation, with Jörg G. Bucherer serving as chairman of the board.
The watch models of Carl F. Bucherer can be distinguished by certain functions including the chronograph, flyback, tachymeter, tourbillon as well as indicators and displays such as big date and day, power reserve, 24 hours, moon phases, three time zones, calendar, and perpetual calendar.
In 1888, Carl Friedrich Bucherer established his first boutique selling watches and jewelry in Lucerne, Switzerland. In 1919, Carl Friedrich Bucherer launched his first ladies' watch collection in the art deco style. He is one of the first watchmakers to adopt the watch strap, which at the time was still a revolutionary concept. By 1948, the company was focusing on sporty chronographs that prominently displayed the current date.
By 1968, Carl F. Bucherer had manufactured around 15,000 high-precision, certified chronometers, making the company one of the top three Swiss producers of these specialized timepieces.
In 1976, Jörg G. Bucherer, the third generation of the family, took over the company. In 2001, the Carl F. Bucherer brand was repositioned and the company launched the Patravi watch collection. In 2005, the company filed a patent for the monopusher mechanism of the Patravi TravelTec watch, which permits the parallel display of three time zones.

A Coffee Shop is one of the best business ideas you can have today! We know there are some easy-to-use coffee-makers that give good coffee every day. Even then, there are people who don't need that mess of brewing and stuff. So, given that you have followed some crucial steps, you can expect a number of customers who need a tastier, consistent and superb cup of espresso or brewed coffee. That having said, it's also a business plan in the end and needs proper planning before execution.
So, we talked with a few people who have run coffee shops and have worked as a barista. And, in the end, we have got a well-curated list of things you should read before starting your own coffee shop. Our tips will surely help you find the best start with that awesome coffee shop idea. Shall we start?
Planning becomes a necessity when it comes to a coffee shop business. It's only with a proper plan that you can have a good path of execution as well. By plan, we do mean a lot of things here. First of all, you have to know for whom you are building the coffee shop. Then, you should analyze the presence and performance of possible competitors. After that, you have to re-consider your further plans, as in what should be done in one years' span and all. Last but not least, you should know which kind of people are going to visit your place in the course of time.
You have many choices when you want to open your coffee shop. We are talking about the space availability here. However, before doing that, you should know about the potential customers and their spending habits. If you are going to open the shop in a relatively-poor area, the pricing should be able to meet up with their budget expectations. On the other hand, if we are talking about some truly rich potential customers, you've the freedom to adapt to the surroundings — given that you have something unique and enriching to offer. It is a sure-thing that is going to determine the future of your coffee shop.
We have had many instances when we heard about some superb coffee shops but failed to find it. Yes, you too would have had the experience in your life. So, first and foremost, you should make sure that the coffee shop building is visible to the common public. There is nothing harm in spending a bit more if you can have a sure-shot place that attracts almost everyone around. However, there may be times when you cannot find a good space in town but badly need customers from there. Then, you can use some visual marketing and customer-leading techniques to make them find your place.
Every successful product or service is about the Unique Selling Points they have. Your coffee shop, being one type of profitable business, should have the same. Taste was a unique thing in the beginning, but with a lot of machines for the versatile collection of coffee needs, you won't have trouble in moving ahead. So, you'd have the necessity to offer something out of the box. For instance, we recommend having a better interior and exterior for your coffee shop. We have found this trend helpful in most of food-based spaces. The total ambience in a coffee shop will make people love it — even if you are about perfect in case of taste.
Placed a lot of flyers and billboards around? Well, there is no point in the offline-only marketing now. As a competitive businessperson, you should know the optimal method of marketing in the place. there are a lot of people who go on apps and services for finding the best coffee around. At the same time, make sure that you are present in the Google Searches. It's about being known in the real and virtual world at the very same time. It's only then, you can have a consistent experience of marketing, with a huge customer-base.
You can have many people with the urge to earn money for your coffee shop. Then, there are some people who are into the art of hospitality, even if they are earning a bit less than expectations. Make sure that your team has passionate members like that. We hope you are someone who loves coffee, and say, loves to make some good coffee. So, instead of being the boss all the time, you too can get into the art of coffee-making. This just enables to see how it goes inside the coffee shop — what your customers say about treatment and what they really need. And, it goes without saying, the team should have a rapport with you.
You can make your coffee shop a success with the proper amount of networking. While doing that, you will have to target people who will be beneficial in the long run, and we are talking about long-term benefits as well. One thing when you are a coffee-addict is that you love to talk about coffee and its versatility. So, you can better create a space that lets you talk, express and live the life you want — meanwhile increasing reach of your shop. If you cannot base your networking ventures of coffee, you can have the help of some kinds of associations or charity stuff.
This is something that can be very crucial in the future of your coffee shop. It's good if you have a passionate team and an experienced barista to do the job. However, nothing good is going to happen if you lack one of the finest machines to brew coffee. While purchasing, don't just look for certifications and total power. Make sure that you are also considering the aspects of taste and consistency. In addition, it's a good thing if you'd give the barista some space to experiment.
Well, these things should help you find and build the dream coffee shop you had in your mind. If you need quick answers, here it is: make sure that the coffee shop is a place for you to get the perfect coffee in town — so is it to others. That's where your coffee shop becomes a real successful thing. At the end of the day, you should value the successfulness of the shop not just through numbers of profit but the reputation your shop has created among the people around.

Q: Show Filename of next/prev images on back/forward button i'm kinda new at web development, so am in need of professional helps.
I have a slideshow. The problem am facing is i want it to show filename of next or previous images on back/forward icon of the slideshow.
Is it possible? with these code.
Here is my briefing example
HTML:

JS:
$(window).load(function(){
            var pages = $('#container li'), current=0;
            var currentPage,nextPage;

            $('#container .button').click(function(){
                currentPage= pages.eq(current);
                if($(this).hasClass('prevButton'))
                {

                    if (current <= 0)
                        current=pages.length-1;
                    else
                        current=current-1;
                }
                else
                {
                    if (current >= pages.length-1)
                        current=0;
                    else
                        current=current+1;
                }
                nextPage = pages.eq(current);
                currentPage.hide();
                nextPage.show();
            });
    });

A: You do it kind of wrong way, you don't need to create element to every image that you have.
Also to get the filename use this code:
 url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/')+1);

full code

$(window).load(function(){
        function getFileName(url) {
            return url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
        }
        var $imgEl = $("#slide");
        var counter = 0;
        var imagesSrcs = [ 'http://www.exmaple.com/example.jpg', 'http://www.exmaple.com/example.jpg', 'http://www.exmaple.com/example.jpg'];

        $('#container .button').click(function(){
            if($(this).hasClass('prevButton'))
            {

                counter--;
                if (counter < 0)
                    counter = imagesSrcs.length - 1;
            }
            else
            {
                counter++;
                if (counter == imagesSrcs.length)
                     counter = 0;

            }
            $imgEl.attr('src', imagesSrcs[counter]);
            console.log(getFileName(imagesSrcs[Math.min(counter + 1, imagesSrcs.length -1)])); //next image file name
            console.log(getFileName(imagesSrcs[Math.max(counter - 1, 0)])); //previous image file name
        });
});

I shot Bill Clinton!
So last week I was called in to shoot for an annual dinner and celebration for City Year, a non-profit program under the Americorps umbrella that takes kids age 18-24 from all walks of life and pays a small stipend for a year while they are trained and utilized to do community service oriented projects. I knew a kids who did City Year between high school and College and in retrospect I wish I had done something like this program myself- it went a long way in showing him what 'working in the real world' can involve and he didn't take a single thing about college for granted, I'll tell you that much! But I digress…
The coolest thing about this event was that I was given the special assignment of shooting former President Bill Clinton before and during his speech. In fact, I ate strawberries and cheese in his green room (though note, he never entered said green room!) I chatted with Secret Service Agents! They were pretty icy actually, but I tried… he ended up being late to arrive and I never did get a chance to actually 'meet' him, like I had hoped… though he did say to me "Did you get it?" (yes) after my one and only posed shot of him standing with Jill Iscol, the evening's honoree. Anyway, here are my favorite shots from the job. I really like the black and whites of Clinton standing ready backstage gathering his thoughts… he spoke extemporaneously (no notes!) for 45 minutes and the room was absolutely rapt in silence except for the odd click of my shutter. Also of note, Jack Lew, current Deputy Secretary of State also spoke… Clinton Arrived… I start shooting from a bit of a distance with my long lens… nervous as can be, secret service agents glaring at me… and finally my big moment: the requested group shot.
Above from left: Jack Lew, Bill Clinton, Jill Iscol.
We walked into Pier 60 via the terrace walkway and I got a few shots of Clinton before he was introduced for his talk. Long lens, from about 150 feet away maybe.
He was only scheduled to speak for 15 minutes, but of course he got to talking!

For the past ten years, the artist Marc Leuthold has focused on creating intricately carved ceramic discs, wheels, and cones. Leuthold incises his forms' surfaces with complex patterns of rippling rays that emanate from a central, often hollow, disk. The intricate carving highlights the process of the works' making: proceeding without a preliminary sketch, the artist wields a sharp knife with precision, quickly cutting at one angle and then its complement to excise wedges of clay. Each cut seems to be a revelation, to be considered on its own and in relationship to the previous cut, so that Leuthold discovers carving techniques and patterns as he works, just as he embraces the accidental and irregular. The deeply carved surfaces are experiments with light and line, but are visually organized by fundamental geometric principles. Leuthold works in earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, which he sometimes glazes, but also effectively leaves in the biscuit stage. A diversity of historic, artistic, scientific, and spiritual considerations informs the making of Leuthold's radiating circular forms, ranging from the porcelains of the Sun Dynasty to Merovingian metal work, from astronomical notions about the cosmos to the near universal significance of the circle in world religions.


Abuja, Nigeria. March 13, 2013 - Latest weekly poll results released by NOI Polls have revealed that majority of Nigerians (90%) agree that Immunization is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of children. In addition, 8 in 10 Nigerians (83%) disagree with the controversial view that the Polio vaccine is intended to kill or harm the reproductive health of children. Also, effective communication has been suggested as key to improving the success of immunization programs. These were three key findings from the recently conducted Immunization poll done in the week of March 4th 2013.
In the light of media reports on controversies surrounding immunization and vaccination programs; the recent killing of health workers by unknown gunmen, and the suspension of a radio station for broadcasting controversial information regarding the immunization program; NOI Polls sought the views of Nigerians concerning the issue of immunization and vaccination. It is expected that this poll will beam the search light on citizen perception towards immunization programs and serve as background to encourage further discourse around how immunization processes can be improved.
Respondents to the poll were asked five specific questions. The first question sought to understand the level of awareness of the Government's policy on Immunization. Respondents were asked: Are you aware of Federal Government's policy to provide free Immunization and vaccination to the public? Results indicate that the overwhelming majority (92%) responded affirmatively indicating that they are aware of the policy of the Federal Government to provide free immunization to public. On the contrary, a meager 7% responded negatively, indicating they are not aware of the policy.
Respondents were subsequently asked: To what extent do you agree or disagree that Immunization/Vaccination is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of children? From the results, 48% of respondents said they "Agree" that Immunization/Vaccination is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of children, followed by 43% who "Strongly agree" with the statement. Also, 3% said they "Neither agree nor disagree"; while 3% and 4% said they "Disagree" and "Strongly disagree" respectively. Overall, about 9 in 10 Nigerians (48% + 43%) are of the opinion that immunization and vaccination is beneficial to the health of children.
In addition, when the results are analyzed in more detail, some interesting facts emerged. The South-West region has the highest proportion of respondents (55%) that strongly agree with the statement that Immunization is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of children. Also, the results reveal that more female respondents (49%) strongly agree versus male respondents (42%).
Furthermore, recent happenings in some states have brought to light the controversial belief by some stakeholders that the polio vaccine is against religion and is intended to kill or harm the reproductive health of children. Consequently, respondents were asked: To what extent do you agree or disagree that the polio vaccine is intended to kill or harm the reproductive health of children? The results indicate that the majority (51%) of respondents "Disagree" that the polio vaccine is intended to kill or harm the reproductive health of children; followed by 32% that "Strongly disagree". Also 4% of the respondents stated that they "Neither agree nor disagree"; while 6% of the respondents (each) "Agree" and "Strongly agree" with this controversial view. Overall, 83% of Nigerians do not agree with the controversial view that polio vaccines have negative effects on the health of children.
Once again when looking at results in more detail, respondents resident in the South mostly disagree and strongly disagree that the Polio vaccine is intended to kill or harm the sexual health of children. However, the North East has the highest proportion of respondents that strongly agree (22%) and agree (19%) with this statement. The North West has the highest proportion of respondents that neither agree nor disagree. Therefore results clearly highlight that the misconception about the polio vaccine is a pertinent issue in Northern Nigeria that needs to be addressed.
In February 2013, the media reported the killing of nine health workers by unknown gunmen in two separate shooting incidents as they were administering polio vaccines in Kano. Also, three medical doctors working at a government-run hospital in Yobe state were also killed in a separate attack. As a result, respondents were asked:What is your opinion about recent killing of health workers? Overall, the majority (59%) of the respondents were of the opinion that "it is very bad and shameful"; followed by 31% who think "It is sad & uncalled for" and a meagre 2% were neutral about it. It is worth noting that no single respondents interviewed had the opinion that killing is a good or that it serves the health workers right. However, 8% of respondents declined to answer the question.
Finally, respondents were asked: What suggestions do you have to improve the Immunization/Vaccination program in Nigeria? The vast majority (44%) of respondents suggested that better communication efforts were needed to educate the public on the benefits of Immunization and Vaccination. This is followed by 15% who were of the opinion that health workers require better training to be able to convey the benefits of their activities to the service users. Also, 13% suggested that religious and political leaders need to be fully involved in promoting immunization programs. Other suggestions include: logistics for vaccines and immunization materials have to be improved (12%); better coordination between the Health ministry and local partners (9%); and the provision of security for health workers (3%).
These poll results affirm previous findings from the Gavi Alliance, which suggested a reappraisal of the national polio vaccination strategy. They further emphasised the need for all stakeholders to be involved in the polio eradication effort; with a focus on integrating polio vaccination into the general baby vaccination programme, and strengthening existing health systems. Vaccination services also need to be part of the healthcare intervention package within primary healthcare centres and taken to the children through outreach clinics.
In summary, results indicate that the majority of Nigerians are aware of the Government's policy on Immunization; and about 9 in 10 Nigerians agree that immunization is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of children. The results also revealed that the majority of Nigerians do not agree with the controversial view that the polio vaccine has negative effects on the reproductive health of children nor do they support the recent killing of health workers. In conclusion, the key suggestions given to improve the current immunisation program are to have better & effective communication strategies to educate the public on the benefits of immunization and to gain the support of religious and political leaders to champion immunization schemes. Such involvement in programs can help to create mass appeal and provide weight to correct the misconceptions and myths surrounding immunization programs, particularly the polio vaccine.


As of late, the United States Food and Drug Administration (from this point forward "FDA"), have prepared their endeavors to address what has turned into a genuine general medical issue. The dietary enhancement industry is a multi billion dollar a year buyer driven industry developing as time passes. Notwithstanding predictable extension of enhancement brands, rivalry for higher net revenues, and negligible ability to direct all classifications of dietary enhancements, the FDA is stood up to with an amazing undertaking. The malignant growth of eagerness has gradually metastasized to terminal dimensions. Producers and merchants of dietary enhancements presently effectively trim their recipes with physician endorsed medications or review crazybulk completely mindful of the perils presented to shoppers. Individuals who run these tasks intentionally contaminating their enhancements are genuine culprits persuaded by covetousness and an absence of still, small voice for the dangers to the shopper.
These polluted items have prompted awful restorative outcomes including liver and kidney harm, stroke, aspiratory disappointment and demise. Spoiled items are risky, yet individuals and associations that deliberately corrupt their enhancements and items are far more regrettable than the area street pharmacist. The nearby street pharmacist flourishing in each town in America illicitly moves and disperses his/her medications to a customer base aware of what they are acquiring and the potential threats from ingesting those synthetic substances. Dietary enhancement makers and wholesalers mindful of moving polluted enhancements are far more regrettable in light of the fact that their buyers are uninformed to the perilous synthetic concoctions being included.
The three classifications of enhancements reliably tainted with potential poisonous substances are weight reduction, sexual upgrade, and working out items. The FDA, national exchange affiliations speaking to the dietary enhancement industry and different administrative commissions are largely attempting to stop these misleading practices. At the FDA site, they obviously indicate out site guests their authorization systems and purchaser warnings for polluted items simply spread a little part of the spoiled over-the-counter items available. The extent of the issue is monstrous.

Peshawar Historic Edwarded College has Been Controversial
Peshawar's historic Edwarded College has been controversial, and legal disputes between different stakeholders in administrative management have not yet been resolved. Founded in 1900 for the past two years, the university has turned into a bone of debate between the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Diocese of Peshawar, while tensions continue to exist between the principal and staff.
Higher education regulatory authority
Recently, a word war began between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, between the university administration and the higher education regulatory authority (Hera), the latter carried out a university inspection by an investigative committee. The University Administration resisted prosecutors scheduled on August 27, based on the order of the Peshawar High Court last May, and the court instructed respondents not to take adverse action against written accusations, including KP governor, chief secretary and secretary of higher education.
Action on university work
On August 23, the secretary wrote to Dr. Brigadier (rett) Nayer Fardows, president of HERA, Dr. Amber Ali Khan, President of HERA and Secretary-General of Higher Education Fazl-e-Qadir. Regular checks by the university violated the order of the High Court. HERA responded to the administration's petition on the day with a letter stating that the temporary registration was approved in an additional field of 8 days, which could eliminate several shortcomings within two months after the temporary registration was issued, for example, March 2019. 8 days.
According to a letter from Hera's secretary, the follow-up investigation by the authorities' surveillance committee said it was not going to take adverse measures to confirm whether the shortcomings were pointed out early by the commission in a report on September 26, 2018. Removed or not. In a given situation.
It was not necessary to justify excessive hesitation in expanding access to the members of the investigating committee, and this kind of approach would first prove the authority over authority over the claims made against this institution. The university's internal staff recently ordered an office on July 19 when the principal went on vacation, and instead of delegating authority to the deputy principal, to Senator Brig Senator John Kenneth Williams.
President of the University Executive Committee You will be a temporary principal / administrator. In May this year, Bishop Humphrey Sarfaraz Peter of the Diocese filed a written petition with the Peshawar High Court (PHC) claiming that he was chairman of the University's Board of Directors and a private enterprise. He asked the court to restrict respondents, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, from interfering with the university's administration and other affairs.
University has its own financial resources
He said the university has its own financial resources, made up of donations and fees. He questioned other actions taken by KP governors, including the issuance of other letters in relation to university work. Contrary to his argument, about 20 faculty members filed a petition in court to declare to the university a self-governing body, run by BoG in 1974 and chaired by KP governor.
They challenged the bishop's position in 1972 that the government took over all private management schools and colleges in accordance with Regulation No-118, called "Personally Managed Schools and Colleges (Acquisition) Regulation 1972. Staff members were published in 1974 by the Ministry of Education NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), through which the BoG led by the governor was created for the functioning of the university.
The petitioners also mentioned a record of the parliamentary procedure, and Edwards College's problem was also discussed in that the question and answer session made clear that the university was actually nationalized. The High Court has now classified all relevant petitions as clubs and will hear them on September 3. In the petition of Bishop Humphrey Safaraz Peter and faculty, the High Court granted them interim relief. In the previous petition.
The court ordered respondents not to take any adverse action on the university's work. Similarly, the bench on June 12 instructed respondents, including the bishop's bishop and the principal, in the second petition not to take any adverse action against the petitioners. The bench, led by Judge Nisar Hussain on March 22, 2016, declared the university a private corporation.
This ruling was passed by a written petition filed by scholar Malak Naz, who challenged the appointment of the current University Principal (Ret) Nayyar Firdows by BoG for four years on December 5, 2014.
Malik Naz raised several points in his petition
The appointment of a Christian as a university principal is predetermined. His appointment was the result of political maneuvers and pressures. And this appointment was not made in accordance with the law. Bench dismissed his petition, admitting that Edwards College in Peshawar was a missionary school named Edwards High School, founded in 1853 by the Church Missionary Association, and later upgraded to university status after 1900. did. It was functioning as a private institution.
The court said, "In 1971, when all private institutions were nationalized, they proposed nationalization, but because they were resisted, they recognized and maintained their independence as private institutions," the court ruled. However, in January 1974, the NWFP at that time established the BoG for KP for the university and all the administrative authority of the university was granted to the board of directors.
The district governor, as vice-chairman, had to be chairman and pastor of the board for education and supervision of Peshawar. If there is no statutory authority, it is a mystery that under the authority of any law, then the governor of KP will issue a notice on the governor's constitution," Bench said. Peshawar Edwards College turned out to be a private institution funded through its own source.
The faculty and the government insisted in the previous petition that the courts were not properly supported, some important facts were hidden in the courts, and the views of the government were not heard. In light of the initial ruling, the Diocese of Peshawar created a new governor's board of directors in March of this year.
This situation once had a great impact on the academic standards of the university, the most prestigious university in the province.
Several former students think that they are interested in the interests of this historic institution, which Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah has visited three times, and the high court must first decide on a legal argument.
The Pakistani Employers Federation
EFP supported the decision to stop trading with India and asked the government to allow Indian origin goods in local markets that have already arrived at Pakistan's airports or ports. In addition, EFP feared that life-saving drugs imported in India in the form of raw or finished products may disappear from the market and relax the rules until alternative sources of imports are in place. EFP Vice President Zaki Ahmed Khan said Pakistan's manufacturers fully supported the government's decision to stop all trade with India.
This sent a strong and favorable message to the business community to procure imports and exports from countries that do not affect Pakistan's sovereignty." But Khan said delivery from India or an airport port should be exempt.
He said that APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) imported from India to manufacture life-saving products in the Pakistani pharmaceutical industry should be allowed under conditions that would allow pharmaceutical companies to immediately develop alternative sources of these APIs within reasonable and mutually agreed terms. said.

Q: Understanding MEF System.Lazy I have been looking at the inner workings of the StockTrader RI for PRISM.
In this RI, MEF and a custom attribute system are used in combination to register views with regions as opposed to hooking up things to the RegionManager in the Module Initializer.
More specifically, there is a ViewExportAttribute which implements:

*

*MetaDataAttribute

*IViewRegionRegistration
The MetaDataAttribute and the "Attribute View" IViewRegionRegistration can be leveraged by System.Lazy<T,TMetaData> in AutoPopulateExportedViewsBehavior to achieve proper linking of regions and views.
In general the interplay between System.Lazy<T,TMetaData> and the actual metadata is elaborated here, more specifically the section "Using Strongly-typed Metadata".
To be clear, I understand the intent of Lazy and it clearly works. However, what I completely do not understand is where and how the link occurs between the metadata view supplied by the attribute (which is just an interface) and filling the TMetaData properties with the actual data supplied by the MetaDataAttribute.
To make my request even clearer, from the previously referenced example:
First, an interface is defined that can serve as a sort of template to pass certain metadata:
public interface IMessageSenderCapabilities
{
    MessageTransport Transport { get; }
    bool IsSecure { get; }
}

Next, A corresponding MetaDataAttribute is defined (which has the same properties as the previous interface)
[MetadataAttribute]
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple=false)]
public class MessageSenderAttribute : ExportAttribute
{
    public MessageSenderAttribute() : base(typeof(IMessageSender)) { }
    public MessageTransport Transport { get; set; }
    public bool IsSecure { get; set; }
}

The attribute can be used in an export, where actual values are set for the attribute properties:
[MessageSender(Transport=MessageTransport.Smtp, IsSecure=true)]
public class SecureEmailSender : IMessageSender
{
    public void Send(string message)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(message);
    }
}

Now finally, we can do some importing:
public class HttpServerHealthMonitor
{
    [ImportMany]
    public Lazy<IMessageSender, IMessageSenderCapabilities>[] Senders { get; set; }

    public void SendNotification()
    {
        foreach(var sender in Senders)
        {
            if (sender.Metadata.Transport == MessageTransport.Smtp &&
                sender.Metadata.IsSecure)
            {
                var messageSender = sender.Value;
                messageSender.Send("Server is fine");

                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

In this last step: sender.Metadata.Transport is evaluated on that very Lazy<>. Therefore, somewhere along the way, Lazy is made aware of the actual values of the metadata, not just the interface it gets passed. I want to understand how that happens, who or what is responsible for that. Even if it is just a very general flow.

A: After some more Reflector I think I can start to formulate an answer, although it turns out a lot of things are happening so this answer might evolve. I am writing it down hear for the benefit of learning this myself.

*

*MEFBootsrapper.Run()
...

*MEFBootstrapper.Container.GetExports(...) because CompositionContainer : ExportProvider, ... and ExportProvider defines public Lazy<T, TMetadataView> GetExport<T, TMetadataView>().

*Next private Lazy<T, TMetadataView> GetExportCore<T, TMetadataView>(string contractName)

*Next internal static Lazy<T, M> CreateStronglyTypedLazyOfTM<T, M>(Export export)

*In here, AttributedModelServices.GetMetadataView<M>(export.Metadata) where M is the type of the MetaDataView. Whereas export is itself of type System.ComponentModel.Composition.Primitives.Export and this has a field ExportDefenition of which an inherited AttributedExportDefenition exists.

*AttributedExportDefenition.MetaData whose getter contains this._member.TryExportMetadataForMember(out strs);

*TryExportMetadataForMember(...) finally has a check type.IsAttributeDefined<MetadataAttributeAttribute> to see if there is a MetadataAttribute applied such as for MessageSenderAttribute in the question.
So this is more or less (very roughly) how we get to the actual metadata on the export and so probably with some more detours these exported metadata will also reach the Lazy although I am still to find out how that would work exactly.
Any feedback would still be appreciated.

A: Trying to understand what is going on with the code in my original question has spawned another question:
There is a subtle difference between the StockTrader RI and the example provided in the MEF Documentation
In Stocktrader, ViewExportAttribute is defined:
 [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false)]
 [MetadataAttribute]
 public sealed class ViewExportAttribute : ExportAttribute, IViewRegionRegistration
 {
    ... omitted for brevity ...
 }

The MEF docs give a similar example (also in the original question):
[MetadataAttribute]
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple=false)]
public class MessageSenderAttribute : ExportAttribute
{
    public MessageSenderAttribute() : base(typeof(IMessageSender)) { }
    public MessageTransport Transport { get; set; }
    public bool IsSecure { get; set; }
}

So with the above code blocks, the difference is that in the first case, the attribute derives from the Interface that defines the "metadata view" whereas in the second example, this is not the case; The attribute just has the same properties as the IMessageSenderCapabilities interface.
"No big deal" you would think but then in StockTrader RI:
[ImportMany(AllowRecomposition = true)]
public Lazy<object, IViewRegionRegistration>[] RegisteredViews { get; set; }

Whereas in the MEF Example:
[ImportMany]
public Lazy<IMessageSender, IMessageSenderCapabilities>[] Senders { get; set; }

So here, the difference is that in Stocktrader RI, the type that we are trying to Lazily import is not specified (it is just object) whereas in the second it is defined more specifically (IMessageSender).
The end result is more or less the same, some type is Lazily imported along with metadata.
However, what I would like to also learn is:

*

*If the differences at the individual key points in both examples are related.

*Specifically in the stock trader example, how do we know what to import as Lazy? Is it because the ViewExportAttribute specifically derives from IViewRegionRegistration that we can have Lazy<object, ... later on, i.e. that the system knows what to import because only types with that metadata will be imported? All this without specifying that object will actually be views, i.e. UserControls?

Future Treasures: Irenicon by Aidan Harte
Monday, February 17, 2014 John ONeill Comments 4 comments
I get a lot of advance proofs. I used to treasure them. I remember I got this advance proof for an upcoming novel by George R.R. Martin back in 1996 called A Game of Thrones. Looked pretty good. I took it with me to Archon in St. Louis and sat in on a very lightly-attended reading — just six of us in a cozy room, listening to George act out the character of a dwarf named Tyrion — and George was gracious enough to sign my copy. I eventually gave it away. No sense holding on to proofs once they've been reviewed; you just clutter up your house.
Point is, it's got to be pretty special to grab my attention these days. The latest fantasy epic from Jo Fletcher books got my attention for two reasons. First, I couldn't make out the title. What that heck is that? Frenicon? Srenicon? (renicon? That's bizarre. Alice, help me out here. I think it's some kind of eye test.
Second, the book features a sentient river. That's right, a sentient river — and not a happy one. That's worth a read right there.
The river Irenicon is a feat of ancient Concordian engineering. Blasted through the middle of Rasenna in 1347, using Wave technology, it divided the only city strong enough to defeat the Concordian Empire. But no one could have predicted the river would become sentient — and hostile.
Sofia Scaligeri, the soon-to-be Contessa of Rasenna, has inherited a city tearing itself apart from the inside. And try as she might, she can see no way of stopping the culture of vendetta that has the city in its grasp. Until a Concordian engineer arrives to build a bridge over the Irenicon, clarifying everything: the feuding factions of Rasenna can either continue to fight each other or they can unite against their shared enemy. And they will surely need to stand together — for Concord is about to unleash the Wave again.
This looks like Aidan Harte's first novel. The sequel, Book II of The Wave Trilogy, Warring States, does not yet have a release date (but you can see the cover here.)
Irenicon (I'm 80% sure that's the title) will be published on April 1, 2014, by Jo Fletcher Books, a division of Quercus. It is 484 pages, priced at $26.99 in hardcover and $9.99 for the digital edition.

All right, I'm there. Can't wait to read this one.

I'm just the opposite. I see "sentient river" and I think "Is it really possible for this to be done in a way that's not ridiculous?"
Maybe I'm just having bad flashbacks to M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening"…

The Rio Grande Cooter is a turtle species that belongs to the Emydidae family. They are known for their glossy and brightly patterned carapace.

The Isenberg School of Management has appointed Nefertiti Walker, professor of sport managerment, to the newly created position of associate dean for an inclusive organization.
In 2017, Walker was appointed the school's director of diversity and inclusion. Since beginning her new role in January, Walker oversees the school's human resources department and strategic vision for diversity.
Walker will oversee both the chief personnel officer and, once the position has been filled, the school's chief diversity officer.
According to Walker, hiring a full-time chief diversity officer will expand and highlight the scope of Isenberg's inclusion efforts.
"That on-the-ground position will focus on engagement, including students, alumni and corporate partners," Walker says.
She adds that in order to examine issues from different angles, Isenberg has also created a 13-member inclusiveness committee comprising faculty, staff and students.
Walker's more than 50 publications and presentations have explored marginalized and underrepresented identities in the workplace and the development of inclusive cultures.
This semester, Walker is launched a series of panels called Conversations. The first featured a panel of Major League Baseball executives discussing inclusiveness issues in baseball, notably along gender and color lines. Later in the semester, executives from the accounting firm PwC will lead workshops revealing unconscious cultural biases in the workplace. A third panel will explore how artificial intelligence and other manifestations such as "augmented reality" can spread and amplify biases that undermine inclusiveness.

Q: Kendo Grid pass additional parametert in Read() I have applied external filtering to my kendo grid which works fine with a single textbox and a button. But now I need to add another text box and a button above the grid and based on the button clicked, call the respective method.For this I need to pass additional parameters to the grid.
I have added the 2 text boxes and 2 buttons as folllows and currently the Read() calls additionalData() which send value of one of the text box. How can I pass the value of the other text box?

@Html.TextBox("compSearch", (string)TempData["searchString"], new { id = "txtCompanySearch", style = "width: 400px;" })
    <button id="searchButton" class="button" type="button" style="text-align:center;" onclick="searchAccounts()">
        Search

    </button>
    <input type="hidden" id="hdnSrchString" value="@ViewBag.searchString" />

    @Html.TextBox("compSearchByMasterRateSheetId", (string)TempData["searchStringMRS"], new { id = "txtCompanySearchByMasterRateSheetId", style = "width: 400px;" })
    <button id="searchByMasterRateSheetIdButton" class="button" type="button" style="text-align:center;" onclick="searchAccountsMRS()">
        Search By Master Rate Sheet ID

    </button>
    <input type="hidden" id="hdnSrchStringMRS" value="@ViewBag.searchStringMRS" />

  @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Customer>()
                .Name("accountsGrid")
            .Columns(col =>
            {
                col.Bound(c => c.CustomerName).Title("Account").Width("30%");
                col.Bound(c => c.SourceSystemId).Title("B ID").Width("20%");
                col.Bound(c => c.AccountManager).Title("Account Manager").Width("30%");
                col.Bound(c => c.IsExternalQuotingEnabled).Title("External Quoting Enabled?").Width("20%");
            })
            .SetLevel3Defaults(Model)
            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .Read(read => read.Action("GetCompanyInfo", "Home").Data("additionalData"))
                .PageSize(20)
            )
)

additionalData method is as follows:
function additionalData() {
        return {
            searchString: $("#txtCompanySearch").val()
        }
    }

A: First, no need for ViewBag - just parameterized your server action like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetCompanyInfo(string searchString, string searchStringMRS)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(searchString))
    { search by searchString }
    else
    { search by searchStringMRS }
    ...
}

Then alter your additional data:
function additionalData() {
        return {
            searchString: $("#txtCompanySearch").val(),
            searchStringMRS: $("#txtCompanySearchByMasterRateSheetId").val()
        }
    }

Those will be matched by name and passed into your READ action. Just keep 1 button to trigger the filtering.
Also, you can move your filters to the grid's toolbar. See here.


Indeed, as Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced, "something is on the way, and it isn't just the moon." During the Nintendo Direct today, Nintendo revealed that Majora's Mask is being remade for the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS, and will be available spring 2015. Majora's Mask was originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 2000.
The remake features all of the original content, now entirely in 3D. For those of you new to the game, Majora's Mask takes place in the area of Termina, instead of the typical Hyrule. Only Link can save Termina from the mysterious Skull Kid and stop the moon from falling and destroying everything. Oh, and you only have three in-game days to complete all of this. Satoru Iwata describes the world of Majora's Mask as "very strange and somewhat spooky," which is definitely true, as it's regarded as one of the darker games in the franchise.
A special edition of Majora's Mask 3D will be available for Zelda fans in the United Kingdom. This special edition of the game comes with a steelbook game case, a double-sided poster, a special Majora's Mask pin badge, as well as the game itself. Price and availability have not been announced. It is also not known if this will be available in other regions outside of the UK.
We'll provide more information as it is revealed, so be sure to check back frequently!

Home Science Why Do People Have Different Skin Colors
Why Do People Have Different Skin Colors
by Lyndon Langley June 21, 2022
by Lyndon Langley June 21, 2022 0 comment
The skin is our largest organ, covering about two thirds of our body surface area. It's also one of the most complex tissues in the human body. It has several functions that range from protecting us against ultraviolet (UV) radiation to regulating temperature. In addition, it provides a sense of touch, allows for sensation, helps regulate body fluid balance, and acts as an immune defense system.
Our skin plays such an important role that we often take its appearance for granted. Yet, just like other parts of our bodies, our skin changes over time. For example, while your skin may look healthy now, you can develop age spots or liver spots later on. This happens when cells accumulate damage caused by environmental factors, such as sun exposure, smoking, and poor nutrition. As people get older, they're more likely to experience these degenerative conditions. However, there are many ways to slow down this process. You can use cosmetics, moisturizers, and sunscreen lotions to improve the health of your skin.
Another thing you might not know is that your skin color doesn't stay the same throughout life. While some people have light-colored skin with few freckles, others start out dark-skinned but end up having pale skin. Why does this happen? And why do people have different skin colors? To understand this phenomenon, let's first consider how our skin gets darker.
Melanocytes Produce Melanin
Your skin pigment comes from melanin, a brownish substance made by specialized cells called melanocytes in the outer layer of your skin. Melanocytes contain granules filled with melanosomes, structures that help form melanin. These melanosomes absorb nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other chemicals, which then combine into melanin. When this chemical reaches certain levels, your melanocytes release the pigment onto the skin's surface where it becomes visible.
So what determines whether your skin will be lighter or darker? The answer lies in genes, specifically those that control melanocyte activity and melanogenesis, the production of melanin.
Genetics Affect Human Skin Color
In humans, pigmentation isn't determined solely by environment; genetics play a big part. There are multiple types of genes involved. One type controls the number of melanocytes, another regulates the structure of melanin, and yet another affects the rate at which melanocytes create melanin. So far, scientists have identified 10 genes that affect skin color. Together, they determine the level of melanin produced.
A gene known as MC1R controls how much melanin forms in your melanocytes. If you inherit a mutated version of MC1R, you'll have dark skin, even if you don't have any family members who share the trait. Mutations in this gene cause OCA, a disorder characterized by hypopigmentation, or underpigmented patches, all over the body.
Other genes associated with OCA include TYRP1, DCT, MITF, SLC24A5, PDE6B, and GNA11. Mutations in these genes result in oculocutaneous albinism, a condition in which babies are born without enough normal melanin in their skin, hair, and eye color. Children with oculocutaneous albinism typically suffer from poor vision due to cataracts, and they need regular medical treatment for hypertrichosis lanuginosi, excessive growth of coarse black hairs.
Heredity can also affect skin coloration. A gene called ASIP determines whether your skin will become tan or burn after being exposed to UV rays. If you have mutations in ASIP, you could easily burn yourself if you go swimming outdoors during peak sunlight hours.
Besides playing a key role in determining skin color, melanin also contributes to your overall health. Research shows that high levels of melanin protect against cancer and heart disease.
Skin Color Changes Over Time
Although heredity largely dictates how darkly colored your skin will turn, external factors can still influence your skin tone. Exposure to UV radiation, especially from solar radiation, causes melanin to break down. This results in the formation of free radicals, molecules that destroy melanin and lead to wrinkling, aging, and skin cancer. On top of that, the presence of certain hormones, such as estrogen, can increase the risk of developing melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer.
Sunlight also triggers inflammation in the skin, causing the release of cytokines, chemicals that tell the immune system to bring in white blood cells to fight off infections. The reaction releases oxygen radicals that attack melanin, resulting in a decrease in skin tone.
Smoking increases the production of reactive oxygen species in the lungs, leading to premature aging and lung diseases. Smoking also leads to the loss of collagen fibers and elastin, both components of connective tissue.
And finally, obesity is closely linked to skin discoloration. Excess fat around the waistline can make the skin appear duller and less hydrated. In severe cases, excess weight can even change the shape of the face. Since obese people tend to have higher cholesterol levels, fatty substances can build up in the deeper layers of skin, making them harder to remove through washing alone.
Now that you've learned how skin color develops naturally, read on to find out how you can manipulate your skin's appearance.
You can choose to eat foods rich in antioxidants, which reduce the harmful effects of free radicals. Foods containing vitamin E, selenium, carotenoids, lycopene, lutein, zinc, and beta-carotene offer protection. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals before they inflict harm. They do so by donating electrons, preventing oxidation reactions and restoring cell membranes damaged by free radicals. Examples include broccoli, spinach, green peppers, watermelon, corn, tomatoes, cantaloupe melon, peaches, papayas, mangoes, oranges, pears, and plums.
Dietary Supplements May Help Protect Your Skin From Sun Damage
If you want to keep your skin looking young and healthy, you should try taking dietary supplements that provide antioxidant protection. Many people believe that eating lots of fruits and vegetables can prevent skin problems. But there are also specific foods that research suggests can help shield your skin from the sun's damaging rays.
Here are five common foods that may provide beneficial amounts of antioxidants.
Vitamin C — Vitamin C reduces the risk of getting wrinkles and skin cancers. It protects DNA from UV radiation and prevents it from breaking down prematurely. Researchers say it also improves collagen synthesis and elastic fiber strength.
Saw Palmetto extract — Saw palmetto berry oil contains compounds that block hormone receptors that signal melanin production. Studies show that saw palmetto extracts lower the amount of melanin produced by melanocytes in laboratory experiments.
Green tea — Green tea contains polyphenols, natural plant compounds that act as powerful antioxidants. Polyphenols react with free radicals that attack your skin and convert them into harmless products. Drinking green tea regularly has been shown to reduce the risk of skin cancer and boost immunity.
Pomegranate juice — Pomegranates contain flavonoids, pigments that give them their red color. Flavonoids are effective scavengers of harmful free radicals, particularly singlet oxygen, which reacts with unsaturated fats in the skin to form peroxides. Peroxide breaks down proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Singlet oxygen is responsible for damaging cell walls, killing enzymes, and depleting the supply of ATP in vital organs. Scientists at Harvard Medical School found that drinking a glass of concentrated pomegranate juice improved the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain and prevented cognitive decline among patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Anthocyanins — Found in blueberries, purple cabbage, eggplant, and potatoes, anthocyanins protect skin from UV rays. They also strengthen capillaries, helping deliver more oxygenated blood to the skin's deepest layers. Anthocyanins' protective effect appears to last long after you stop eating them, possibly explaining why wild blueberry consumption lowers the frequency of cardiovascular events.

'The Nun' Review: 'Conjuring' Prequel Delivers Evil Mythology, but Not Enough Scares
The latest "Conjuring" prequel offers a backstory to the demonic Nun that proves that knowing less is more when it comes to making evil truly terrifying.

Taissa Farmiga in "The Nun"
While horror has seen its fair share of franchises over the years, James Wan's 2013 "The Conjuring" has spawned a cinematic universe to rival Marvel, with a rogue's gallery of creepy characters coming into play for interconnected spin-off films. 2016's "The Conjuring 2" offered something especially horrifying, a demonic nun named Valek, that stalked the Warrens from Amityville to London before getting its own origin story with "The Nun." But while "The Nun" has some veritable scares up its sleeve, it's also proof that sometimes the most terrifying horrors are the ones we don't understand.
Director Corin Hardy, best known for 2015's Irish horror offering "The Hallow," makes the most of the film's Romanian setting, with Transylvania's imposing and stunning Corvin Castle serving as a stand-in for the film's ominous Abbey. Utilizing "The Conjuring" cinematic palette of stark greys and cool blues, not to mention a smattering of upside-down crosses, Hardy carves out a Gothic nightmare that both stands on its own and sits at home in the horror series. As the film's Father Burke (Demián Bichir) explains, he was sent to the abbey in part to determine whether or not the ground was still holy. With the Abbey feeling as ominous and insidious as Shirley Jackson's Hill House in 1963 "The Haunting," there isn't any room for doubt as to the answer.
In addition to assessing the sanctity of the grounds, Father Burke is sent to the Abbey by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun, who was found hanged outside of the Abbey's doors by a local farmer, Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet). Father Burke is paired up with a young novice, Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga), and the two are brought up to the Abbey by the skittish Frenchie, who explains that the entire village lives in fear of the Abbey, believing it to contain a dark evil. After giving the dead nun a proper burial, Father Burke and Sister Irene head into the labyrinthine Abbey to seek out answers, but a shrouded Mother Superior tells them the nuns are observing their nighttime vow of silence and (of course) they must spend the night.
Throughout "The Nun," it becomes clear that the past is the most haunting demon of all. Lost in a foggy graveyard resplendent with crooked crosses, Frenchie is tortured both mentally and physically by the dead young nun he discovered. For his part, Father Burke is overcome with guilt over the death of a young boy, Daniel, some years before. Father Burke was sent to exorcise the child, which resulted in the boy's death. Daniel appears to Father Burke throughout the film in gruesome visions and a particularly suffocating live burial sequence, melding the character with a terrifying thought — if a priest cannot save a single soul from becoming lost, what hope is there for the rest of humanity?

Much like the other "Conjuring" films, "The Nun" packs plenty of jump scares, many obvious and yet still jarring, as the trio are stalked across the Abbey by the demonic Valek. The demon, who is also known as The Defiler, plays plenty of mind games, preying upon both the sins of the past, as well as Sister Irene's own innocent faith. "You haven't taken your vows yet," the novice is told multiple times throughout the film. But Sister Irene's faith is never truly called into question as with Father Karras in "The Exorcist."
Sister Irene, clad in sweeping, snow-white vestments, is the light in the darkness, a pure Bride of Christ who offers the obvious antidote to Valek's venomous hatred. Cinematographer Maxime Alexandre is able to expertly play with this contrast of light vs. dark, offering up some stunning if horrifying religious imagery that can recall the best of "The Exorcist III." But "The Nun" still gets lost in its own mythology, providing an easy backstory for the demon's presence that is paired with an easy solution that makes Valek feel decidedly less threatening. Sure, the demon will pop up later on in "The Conjuring 2," but Valek's temporary suppression also feels inevitable.
Fans of "The Conjuring" will be pleased to see how "The Nun" circles back to the original film, as history is cheekily rewritten just a touch to bring everything full circle. Although the film doesn't make a definitively clear connection to the "Annabelle" films, eagle-eye fans should be able to spot a picture of the Abbey's nuns on the wall of Sister Irene's room, the same picture that later pops up in "Annabelle: Creation" courtesy of Sister Charlotte.
While "The Nun" is another solid and scary entry in the "Conjuring" Universe, it is hopefully the last origin story. The point of "The Nun" was to give an explanation to evil, but what makes evil truly chilling is when there is no clear-cut answer as to why it exists. Much like the literal demons in Father Burke's past, it is life's unresolvable puzzles, not the knowable ones, that will haunt us long after the lights go down.
