Of Violin and Apron Strings
Lynnette Seah's precisely executed Peranakan dishes are testament to her culinary prowess.
Koh Yueh Lin
Our hairstylist, a young man from Malacca, looks like he is about to cry – the Peranakan flavours from Lynnette Seah's kitchen have just taken him back to his hometown.
The mini tok panjang put out for our photography session is exceedingly impressive, with flavours rich but beautifully balanced. An unctuous babi pongteh is addictive, with a blend of savoury and sweet tastes from the fermented bean paste and palm sugar. A toothsome Thai brown rice with buah keluak and hae bee hiam, seasoned with calamansi juice, chilli and brown sugar thoroughly mixed in, presents layers of flavours in each mouthful.
Most people know Seah as one of the founding members and co-concertmaster of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. But the recipient of the Cultural Medallion for Music is not just a master of violin strings – she is also a master of her home kitchen, orchestrating the creation of lavish Peranakan spreads and Western meals. From spoiling friends, she has gone on to feed an extended circle through private dinners hosted at her house, operated under the name Lynnette's Kitchen. "I entertain about twice a month. I get people over for dinner when I am stressed – creating flavours that go well together makes me happy." And from the reaction of those who have tried her food, her cooking also makes others happy.
Though not born a Peranakan, Lynnette is no stranger to the art of making Peranakan food.
Though not of Peranakan descent – her father being Teochew and her mother, Hokkien – she got an initiation to Nonya food as a child through an aunt, and fell in love with the cuisine's complex mix of sweet, earthy, spicy, tangy flavours. "I learnt how to cook Peranakan food so that I didn't have to drive up to Malacca all the time just to get an authentic taste! Also, I get to control the flavour balance and quality of ingredients used – I never use anything bottled or frozen," says the seasoned cook who has a penchant for making everything, from stocks to hae bee hiam, from scratch – just so that she has perfect control over the final product. "I master the basics and then inject my own personality – just like how I play."
To say that Seah has her own way of working in the kitchen is an understatement. Having learnt the ways of the kitchen as a child helping her mother in the '60s meant learning how to make do with basics. For instance, while most of us rely on the light indicator on an automated cooker to tell us when rice is cooked, she can tell the doneness by listening to the grains as they boil.
Lynnette makes use of her unique combi-steam oven to cook some of her favourite dishes.
Today, the kitchen of her two-year-old Tiong Bahru apartment, however, is luxuriously outfitted with top-end appliances. Two ovens – one conventional and the other a combi-steam – tell of her love for baking and roasting (though she also uses the combi-steam to cook seafood); while a gas stove with a hob specially built for woks betrays the traditionalist in her. "I had an induction hob in my previous apartment, but realised that I cannot do without wok-cooking. Also, it is quicker to adjust the heat on the gas stove." The kitchen counter was also built to accommodate a bar fridge and wine cabinet beneath, and the ovens were placed at optimal height for statuesque Seah, who stands a head over most women.
"I master the basics and then inject my own personality – just like how I play (the violin)."
Lynnette Seah, Co-Concert Master of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
The kitchen re-design was the most important part in her home renovation. "The kitchen and the dining area are the most important parts of the house, and I made sure that the dining room flowed out to the living area, making it optimal for entertaining."
A contrast of old and new equipment in Lynnette Seah's kitchen.
MAKING PASTE WITH HASTE
For someone who can cook rice in a pot and beat eggs for cakes without an electric mixer, Seah is also appreciative of technology. "One of the equipment I use most is my Braun food processor, which I use to make rempah – and I make huge quantities of it. I love German equipment – they are reliable."
In contrast to the high-power food processor is a small, unassuming mortar and pestle, which she uses to pound fresh spices before cooking. You might think nothing of it, but Seah has been using it for the last 13 years, making it a finely seasoned piece.

Ignasi de Ventós i Mir (Badalona, 1879- Olot, 1958) fou un terratinent i polític català, diputat a les Corts Espanyoles durant la restauració borbònica.

La seva família era originària de la Garrotxa.

Nascut a la masia de can Tàpies a Badalona, visqué a la població fins a l'any 1933, en què es trasllada a Barcelona, tot i que passarà llargues temporades a la seva finca de can Tàpies. Llicenciat en Dret, no arribà a exercir. Soci de la Federació Catòlica Agrària de Barcelona, en la qual ostentà algun càrrec, i de l'Institut Agrícola Català de Sant Isidre.

Militant del partit jaumí, fou tresorer de la Junta regional tradicionalista i finançà el centre carlí de Badalona "El Loredán". L'any 1917 va cedir terrenys de la seva propietat per a la construcció de l'església parroquial de Sant Josep a Badalona. També va cedir gratuïtament terrenys per a l'edificació d'una caserna del cos de carrabiners, per la qual cosa el govern central li concedí l'any 1921 la Gran Creu del Mèrit Militar.

El 1923 fou escollit diputat a Corts pel districte d'Olot per la Lliga Regionalista. Segons un descendent familiar, tot i que com a carlí era contrari a la Lliga, es presentà a proposta del seu cunyat, el catalanista Josep Maria Masramon i Vilalta, qui li oferí el seu lloc per tal de derrotar Lluís Pons i Tusquets, qui guanyava les eleccions en aquell districte mitjançant la compra de vots i altres procediments deslleials. Com que Ignasi de Ventós era més ric, Pons va retirar la seva candidatura.

Fou també impulsor, amb el contacte de l'alcalde de Badalona Pere Sabaté i Curto, del Grup escolar Ventós Mir cedint una parcel·la de 1202 m² a la plana d'en Tàpies a l'Ajuntament el 1924; molt poc urbanitzada d'altra banda.

Després de l'alçament del 18 de juliol, el 5 d'agost de 1936, l'Ajuntament de Santa Pau li confiscà les seves propietats al municipi. En acabar la guerra, va donar suport al règim de Franco i als anys 40 va cedir uns terrenys per a la plaça dels Caiguts de Badalona, on s'hi va instal·lar un monument.

Es va casar amb Dolors de Rocafiguera i Vila, filla del polític conservador vigatà Josep de Rocafiguera Ventós i neboda del polític integrista Marià de Rocafiguera i Ventós.

L'actual Escola Ventós i Mir i el passatge Ventós i Mir de Badalona porten el seu nom.

Not everyone has the luxury of a bathroom that spans almost an entire bedroom's length. Instead, most of us have a smaller space whether it's the guest's or your own master bath. With that being said, the layout of this room is greatly important for functionality and design purposes. And for that reason, we've compiled a list of small bathroom layouts that are incredibly inspiring but all attainable when renovating and redecorating. Let's take a look!
This super modern space may not be cozy and comfortable but it sure is slick and stylish, don't you think? Between the red hue and the silver compliment, you've got a unique and spacey place to shower in. We love the stand-up shower design for a more contemporary look instead of a shower and tub combination that would give the room a more traditional feel.
Quaint and charming this design has a chic look but a comfortable first impression. The tub's shape is unique, the shower addition creates versatility and the textured walls create interest. We also love the plum color addition which is a great, outside-the-box choice, especially complimented by the bright whites.
We are swooning over this small, but mighty, contemporary concept. It's chic and sleek and absolutely everything you'd want in a bachelor's posh apartment or first home. Although the darker tone may make the space feel smaller, the tile breaks up the haze creating a better look and style for anyone's eyes.
This space is gorgeous. Clean and simple, with sharp lines and a strong, minimalist vision, this one is a great example of how to utilize a small space. Everything you need is right inside with a no fuss attitude and two vertical mirrors adding the illusion of a bit more space and light – always a benefit in little areas.
Similar to its predecessor, this is another prime example of a small space with a gorgeous and clean palette. There's a minimalist vision that's blatant to the eye but there's also a very chic and posh finish to every part of the room. The black tile accent wall provides a shine and an extra pop for a surprising amount of style in a little space.
What a view right? Take a peek at this layout from the ceiling's angle, makes it even more apartment how genius and functional this layout is. Using every inch of the room without cluttering or creating chaos, a small space really can have it all with ease and a design-worthy presence.
This futuristic version is just so perfect and illuminating. You'll feel refreshed walking in a space with everything right at your fingertips but also, everything smooth, clean and crisp. We love its modern elements and small tiling, which makes the room look a bit larger and more interesting.
Here's another ceiling view for you to enjoy. We love this angle as you can get the best visual possible, and this contemporary, cottage-style is too sweet not to share. Bright white with a textural floor, there wouldn't be a guest in the house against having to use this room during their stay over.
Sometimes all you really need is a tub and this one is beautiful and fits right inside this small room. We are loving the lighting that creates a romantic and relaxing ambiance, and we also love the brick-style tiling that creates a rougher, surprising style in such a quaint space. The absence of color also pushes forward a cleaner design.
One of the more traditional of styles and layouts we have on our list, this design makes anyone feel right at home. The garden tub sits perfectly next to the window, adding natural lighting and the illusion of more space. While the accent tiling creates more design without closing in on the room.
This is one small bathroom layout that truly utilizes every nook and cranny of the limited space. The counter top intertwines with the toilet in a modern, stylish but still very comfortable way. The white necessities acts as a contrast and split to the two darker tones, while still feeling clean and never over-cluttered.
This space saver mixes a variety of home styles we love, from traditional to modern to eclectic, we are loving this layout, the tile, and the mixed material feel throughout the entire space and we love the Plexiglas choice instead of shower curtain addition which helps to give the illusion of more space and movement in the room.


Even in the Concerto's original version, completed in 1891 when Rachmaninov was 18 years old, the composer's distinct and highly recognizable "voice" seems fully formed. Yet ghosts from the past also swirl around these opening bars— for example, the Piano Concertos of Schumann and Grieg. Additionally, as I played this piece in the Richmond Symphony a few weeks ago, I couldn't help but hear vague, passing echoes of the opening four-note motive of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. We get the first intimation of this falling, four-note motive around the 1:51 mark in the video below, and then more obviously a few moments later, leading into the second theme. If that isn't spooky enough, listen to the way a return of the opening horn fanfare trails off into a suggestion of the opening motive of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony. Both of these motives are related, and come out of the rising four notes of Rachmaninov's main theme. Listen to the way the motive emerges in the bass line accompanying the final notes of the theme. Miraculously, Rachmaninov may not have been aware of any motivic link to Tchaikovsky, and perhaps these are only coincidences. But undeniably, this youthful music (Rachmaninov's Opus 1) is still haunted by the past.
Throughout Rachmaninov's First Concerto, as well as the composer's other major works, there is no sense of "solo" and "accompaniment." Instead, we get a rich dialogue of conversing voices in which the solo piano is the protagonist. For example, in the extraordinary transitional passage beginning around 6:04, listen to the way the piano's rising line is repeated in the orchestra at twice the speed. Only with the bravura of the massive cadenza at the end of the first movement (with its heroic climax) does the solo piano leave behind its orchestral friends.
The second movement (Andante cantabile) is a brief, but ethereal, nocturne. It opens with a plaintive statement in the solo horn— the same rising motive we heard throughout the first movement. The second movement pulls us into a fluid world of harmonic restlessness. Listen to the way the sensuous main theme, first introduced by the piano alone, is constantly delivering us to new, unexpected places. Even when we think we have reached a definitive cadence, it takes a strangely dark turn.
The final movement (Allegro scherzando) shimmers and dances with the mercurial magic of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, the composer's final composition, written many years later. The final, ecstatic bars are teeming with an indomitable youthful joy and vitality.
Thank you for these recommendations, Alex!

Dwight Howard Feels Like an Even Bigger Villain Now
by SLAM Staff October 03, 2013
by Marcel Mutoni / @ marcel_mutoni
The blueprint for Dwight Howard's redemption is out there. LeBron James proved, once again, that winning championships ensures forgiveness from fans and media.
Dwight wants to emulate LeBron's post-The Decision success in Houston.
Per Yahoo! Sports:
"Last year, I felt like I was the villain," Howard said. "Now, I feel like I'm an even bigger villain." […] Howard wants to take James' and the Miami Heat's title, but confesses to finding comfort in the redemption of the best player on the planet. For Howard, another scorned star, James' redemption represents the light in the distance.
"He got hated for a lot of reasons," Howard said. "I was really, really happy when LeBron finally won. I was unhappy that it wasn't me up there, but I was glad to see him get through that whole thing. I knew exactly how he felt. People putting you down, saying bad things about your character, who you are as a person. It doesn't sit well with you. When you go out on the court, you want to show them, 'Hey, this isn't who I am.' Here's a guy who's a great basketball player. He did something that was for him, and he did it in front of the whole world. I realized then that our issues, our problems, our flaws are out there for the world to see. You can't run from it. We have to learn from our mistakes and move forward."
Howard says he has a better chance to succeed with the Rockets — they have a younger and more promising roster than the Los Angeles Lakers, and Dwight gets to work with Hakeem Olajuwon on a regular basis.
Dwight Howard finds himself on the team and in the situation that best suits him. Winning has to be the next step, and it will take care of the PR war.

I remember a few years ago right when I was in the trenches of having three little ones, two years apart all at home. I was a stay at home mom trying to get into a routine and truthfully does that even exist with toddlers and newborns? I don't think so.
I was waist deep in just trying to figure out what day it was much less trying to plan a play date or outing.
Because you see this wasn't a planned swing by, this was an unplanned swing by.
The kind of unplanned swing by that was on a day when no naps had been given, baby spit up had now become a permanent part of my t-shirt, I had layers of dry shampoo and I was still wearing last nights pj's.
The kind of unplanned swing by where the dishes were still in the sink from that mornings breakfast. Where the clean load of laundry had possibly taken up residency on my laundry room floor.
I quickly tried to hide my messy.
I pushed the laundry in the closet, okay maybe even under the bed or the nearest covered part of the house.
I tossed the dishes in the dishwasher without a second thought about a pre-rinse.
I tried to make my messy bun look intentional and I tossed on some clothes that resembled that of someone that had it together and a little makeup to cover up the dark circles from zero sleep.
I hid all the messy, all the places in my home that made me feel like others would judge me for because things have to be kept up with the others on the social media reel. Where the floors are spotless, the couches are without a stain and somehow the cushions seem to fit perfectly on them without any appearance of being jumped on or made into a fort.
My friend came over and she automatically opened my laundry room door.
She went into my bedroom to make sure my bed was made. Then she made her way into my kitchen and checked my sink twice just for good measure to make sure I had done the dishes as soon as breakfast was over and then she gave me the once over before we sat down to catch up.
Kidding, she did absolutely none of those things.
You know what she did do the minute I opened the door? She called for my kids to come give her the biggest hug then she walked in with a soda in hand and gave me the biggest hug. She tossed her purse right there on the messy table, kicked off her shoes and found her favorite spot on my very loved couch which pretty much means she was sitting on the floor because the cushions sag down that low.
She told me how much she's missed me, how much she loves seeing pictures of my boys that I send her and how thankful she was to get to spend the time she had here at my home because it feels like her second home whenever she comes over.
I think that sometimes we forget that when we try and hide our messy sides to those who love us the most that we aren't allowing them to really love us. We are only allowing them to love the side we think they will like and that's not fair.
A lived life is a messy life my friends.
It's messy even outside those four walls we call home, outside that laundry room door, outside that playroom, outside that kitchen sink.
All those friends that love you in spite of that messy kitchen table, all that laundry, and dishes, they will be the ones to sit with you in the middle of the really big messes that will come up in life outside of those four walls so let them in.

Growth hormone secretagogue receptor(GHS-R), also known as ghrelin receptor, is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs), such as ghrelin, the "hunger hormone". The role of GHS-R is thought to be in regulating energy homeostasis and body weight. In the brain, they are most highly expressed in the hypothalamus, specifically the ventromedial nucleus and arcuate nucleus. GSH-Rs are also expressed in other areas of the brain, including the ventral tegmental area, hippocampus, and substantia nigra. Outside the central nervous system, too, GSH-Rs are also found in the liver, in skeletal muscle, and even in the heart.

Structure

Two identified transcript variants are expressed in several tissues and are evolutionary conserved in fish and swine. One transcript, 1a, excises an intron and encodes the functional protein; this protein is the receptor for the ghrelin ligand and defines a neuroendocrine pathway for growth hormone release. The second transcript (1b) retains the intron and does not function as a receptor for ghrelin; however, it may function to attenuate activity of isoform 1a.

GHS-R1a falls into G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Previous studies have shown that GPCRs can form heterodimers, or functional receptor pairs with other types of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Various studies suggest that GHS-R1a specifically forms dimers with the following hormone and neurotransmitter receptors: somatostatin receptor 5, dopamine receptor type 2 (DRD2), melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R), and serotonin receptor type 2C (5-HT2c receptor). See "Function" section below for details on the purported functions of these heterodimers.

Function

Growth hormone release

The binding of ghrelin to GHS-R1a in pituitary cells stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland.

Constitutive activity

One important feature of GHS-R1a is that there is still some activity in the receptor even when it is not actively being stimulated. This is called constitutive activity, and it means that the receptor is always "on," unless acted on by an inverse agonist. This constitutive activity seems to provide a tonic signal required for the development of normal height, probably through an effect on the GH axis. In fact, some GHS-R1a genetic variations, caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been found to be associated with hereditary obesity and others with hereditary short stature. It was also found that, when GHS-R1A constitutive activity was diminished, there were decreased levels of hunger-inducing hormone neuropeptide Y (NPY) as well as in food intake and body weight.

Intracellular signaling mechanisms

When growth hormone secretagogue receptor is activated, a variety of different intracellular signaling cascades can result, depending on the cell type in which the receptor is expressed. These intracellular signaling cascades include mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)), protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase B (PKB), also known as AKT), and AMP Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) cascades.

Behavioral reinforcement of food intake

It is well-characterized that activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptor with ghrelin induces an orexigenic state, or general feeling of hunger. However, ghrelin may also play a role in behavioral reinforcement. Studies in animal models, found that food intake increased when ghrelin was specifically administered to just the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a brain area that uses dopamine signaling to reinforce behavior. In fact, the more ghrelin administered, the more food the rodent consumed. This is called a dose-dependent effect. Building on this, it was found that there are growth hormone secretagogue receptors in the VTA and that ghrelin acts on the VTA through these receptors. Current studies, furthermore, suggest that the VTA may contain dimers of GHS-R1a and dopamine receptor type 2 (DRD2). If these two receptors do indeed form dimers, this would somehow link ghrelin signaling to dopaminergic signaling.

Enhancement of learning and memory

The growth hormone secretagogue receptor may also be linked to learning and memory. First of all, the receptor is found in the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for long-term memory. Second, it was found that specifically activating the receptor in just the hippocampus increased both long-term potentiation (LTP) and dendritic spine density, two cellular phenomena thought to be involved in learning. Third, short-term calorie restriction, defined as a 30% reduction in caloric intake for two weeks, which naturally increases ghrelin levels and thus activates the receptor, was found to increase both performance on spatial learning tasks as well as neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus.

Selective ligands
A range of selective ligands for the GHS-R receptor are now available and are being developed for several clinical applications. GHS-R agonists have appetite-stimulating and growth hormone-releasing effects, and are likely to be useful for the treatment of muscle wasting and frailty associated with old-age and degenerative diseases. On the other hand, GHS-R antagonists have anorectic effects and are likely to be useful for the treatment of obesity.

2013 PEN/Hemingway Award Honorable Mention for "Literary Excellence in Debut Fiction" and Pushcart Prize Nominee
In the waning days of 1999, four centuries after the Reformation Pilgrims came sailing up the rivers of New England, beating their way against the watersheds of the North American continent, Taylor Thatcher is still caught in the turbulence.
Irreverent skeptic and scion of a fallen family of Maine Puritans, Thatcher is a young college professor charged with teaching vague multi-disciplinary courses at the University of Hartford…and it is not going well. Undisciplined by nature, he suffers from Emerson's "excess of awareness," and has come to see history's March of Progress as nothing more than Accidents Waiting to Happen.
Furthermore, he feels bad having to give his students this news. Even his fun-loving, poker-playing, faculty colleagues at SASS (The Center for Science, Artifacts and Social Systems) cannot offer much comfort when he is put in charge of organizing The Millennium Conference – his imperious Dean's idea of "an academic Super Bowl" between Science and Religion.
To make matters worse, Taylor's cooling love life has finally collapsed upon itself, and his eccentric younger half-cousin/half-brother, Bingham – amateur naturalist and self-declared "Pre-Humanist" – has begun behaving more oddly than ever since appearing in Hartford from the family homestead in Mt. Vernon, Maine. Enlisting the help of photography student and former Israeli soldier, Miryam Bluehm, Professor Thatcher spends the seven days prior to The Millennium Conference searching for answers to Bingham's dilemma only to face his own at Mamacoke, a small Connecticut estuary island also caught in the tidal currents of the Age of Discovery.
In his errant attempts to escape from "history," Thatcher is swept by Time through the "family thing" – from the tangled genetic and religious history of his New England parents to the redemptive birthday secret of Esther Fleur Noire Bishop, the Cajun-Passamaquoddy woman who raised him; and, finally, from love in the ruins of the Mayan Yucatan to his own last stand on Columbus Day at a high-stakes gambling casino, rising in resurrection over the starlit bones of a once-vanquished Pequot Indian Tribe.
Old New England, its landscapes, rivers, and tidal estuaries are also casualties of history in Thatcher's story of Deep Time and the wayward collision of nature and civilization, "…hammered pin-balls in an endless play of historical levers, plungers, flashing lights, and tolling bells; all chance, played out by others,…other people, in other places and times, over other events, other Gods…"
As It Is On Earth takes place over the course of eight days, each chapter covering a single day. The first chapter, Chapter 'Zero', begins with Thatcher's skepticism about Genesis and its omission of "the day before" the first day of Creation. In his quest for answers, young Thatcher encounters, in the words of one reviewer, "an oddball cast of dreamers and alcoholic holy men, stargazers and crack mystics, naturalists and sidetracked philosophers", all of whom assist him, finally, in achieving his "self-creation" and saving grace.

"One of the deep pleasures in reading Peter Wheelwright's gorgeous debut novel As It Is On Earth comes from the dizzying journey through the constellations of his protagonist's life as he attempts to untangle the Gordian knot of his family legacy. His world is messy and contradictory, saturated with desire and utterly intoxicating; it's a place where ideas about science and art and nature and history combust until secrets are laid bare. As in the best of novels, Wheelwright both broke my heart and gave me great faith in acts of forgiveness and in the tenderness of our hearts. "

Q: In VBScript is there any way to get the fullpath to a file which can be present in any directory? Currently I am using hard-code PATH to a .EXCEL file in my Scripting language,Like as below:
    Set objExcel1 = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    strPathExcel1 = "D:\VA\GE_Wing_To_Wing_Report.xlsx"
    Set objWB = objExcel1.Workbooks.open(strPathExcel1)

In VBScript is there any way to get such "D:\VA\ full path to any file on run-time?So that I can remove such hard-code from my script.
Thanks,

A: You can use a filebrowser like the other answer suggests or an inputbox but both are anoying for the user, you could refer to just the filename without path if you put the excel file in the same map as the script, you can put this in a configuration file that you load in your main script or page or last you could give it to your script as a parameter which you can give in a console command or in a shortcut. let me know which you prefer, then i can give you an example.
EDIT: as promised, actually in the case of Excel it is a bit harder but not impossible, see this example
Set objExcel1 = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel1.visible = true
strPathExcel1 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetAbsolutePathName(".") & "\GE_Wing_To_Wing_Report.xlsx"
Set objWB = objExcel1.Workbooks.open(strPathExcel1)

Q: hammer js > how to block horizontal panning during page scroll I've got a page where I put some horizontal slideshows, and have added panning and swipe to them. Sadly, when scrolling on mobile devices, if you scroll above the slideshows, hammer will recognize panning and leave slideshows a little panned... Not so beautiful. I'm thinking about various solutions, but the most obvious maybe would be to stop panning during scroll. Is it possible some way? Here's an extract of my current code (sorry there are methods coming from the parent class..):
if(this.options.touch_enabled){
  this.hm = new Hammer(this.panels_box, {
    recognizers: [
      [Hammer.Swipe,{ direction: Hammer.DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL, threshold: 80 }]
      ,[Hammer.Pan,{ direction: Hammer.DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL, threshold: 80 }, ['swipe']]
    ]
    ,domEvents: false
  });

  this.hm.on('swipeleft', function(e){ if(this.options.next_condition()) this.goto('next', null, true); }.bind(this));
  this.hm.on('swiperight', function(e){ if(this.options.prev_condition()) this.goto('prev', null, true); }.bind(this));
  this.hm.on('panstart', function(e){ this.disable_transition(); }.bind(this));
  this.hm.on('panend', function(e){ this.enable_transition(); }.bind(this));

  this.hm.on('panleft', function(e){
    if(!this.options.loop){ if(this.data_box.getAttribute('data-current') >= this.bounds.end) return; }
    this.panels_strip.style.setProperty('--distance', e.deltaX + 'px');
  }.bind(this));
  this.hm.on('panright', function(e){
    if(!this.options.loop){ if(this.data_box.getAttribute('data-current') <= 0) return; }
    this.panels_strip.style.setProperty('--distance', e.deltaX + 'px');
  }.bind(this));
}// touch

A: Solution for me was to check deltaY and deltaX, along with event type (since the issue was not found on desktop computers). Here an extract:
this.hm.on('panleft', function(e){ // ...and same for panright
   if(e.pointerType == 'touch' && (Math.abs(e.deltaY) > Math.abs(e.deltaX))){ return false; }
   // do stuff
}

Brian Ivan Cobham Norton, né le  sur l'île de Robben Island et mort le  à Santa Clara en Californie, est un joueur de tennis sud-africain des années 1920.

Carrière
Champion d'Afrique du Sud en 1920, il participe cette année-là aux Jeux olympiques d'Anvers et atteint les quarts de finale en double avec Louis Raymond.

Bill Tilden le bat en finale (challenge round) du tournoi de Wimbledon en 1921 malgré un avantage de deux sets à zéro et deux balles de matchs dans la dernière manche. Sur son parcours, il écarte Frank Hunter puis Manuel Alonso en finale à chaque fois en cinq manches. Il ne gagnera jamais de tournois du Grand Chelem en simple. 83 ans après, Guillermo Coria perdra de la même manière et ne remportera pas un des quatre tournois majeurs. Cette performance a néanmoins fait de lui un des joueurs les plus en vue du début des années 1920. A. Wallis Myers le classe à la  place en fin de la saison.

L'année suivante, battu dès le deuxième tour par le champion d'Australie James Anderson, il se rattrape en remportant la All-England Plate, le tournoi de consolation. En 1923, il atteint cette fois les demi-finales où il s'incline face à Bill Johnston. Il dispute ensuite pour la première fois l'US National et parvient jusqu'en demi-finale en simple. Il remporte le double messieurs avec Bill Tilden. Il décide quitter l'Angleterre et de rester dans le pays pour s'installer à Saint-Louis dans le Missouri. En 1925, il se marie à San Antonio en Floride. Il se retire du tennis en 1926 après avoir participé à une série de matchs d'exhibition avec Mary Browne contre Paul Féret et Suzanne Lenglen lorsque celle-ci s'apprêtait à commencer sa carrière professionnelle aux États-Unis.

Free-spirited "Mamschel Weiss" – turning the spotlight on a collector
Annemarie Weiss (1877-1933) of Basel was an exceptional personality. The lively spinster travelled regularly to the Valais where she collected a total of almost 400 ethnographic objects for Eduard Hoffmann-Krayer, then the head of the European Department at today's Museum der Kulturen Basel. But her name hardly ever appears. We searched for traces and are now able to shed light on free-spirited "Mamschel Weiss". Her collection reveals what was of scientific interest at the time and what made the traditions of the Valais so fascinating for the people of Basel.

From Haito to Herzog & De Meuron
New exhibition rooms with a separate entrance and an extravagant roof! The Museum der Kulturen Basel is taking on a new identity – in the heart of the medieval city of Basel. Modern, stylish exhibition rooms flooded with light invite you to stroll and gaze.
Nothing has shaped the Münsterplatz as much as the Minster, built in red sandstone. It was commissioned by the Bishop of Basel whose name was Haito. The striking roof with the colourful tiles will now have serious competition: If one looks from the Minster towers down on the square, the eye is drawn by the silhouette of the colourful shimmering museum roof, which fits seamlessly into the roofscape on the Münsterhügel (Minster hill). Under the direction of architects Herzog & de Meuron, a striking building has been completed – another jewel in the crown of Basel architecture.
The Neoclassical structure built by Melchior Berri in 1849 was the first building in German-speaking Switzerland to be purpose-built as a museum, and was a bold intervention in the largely medieval architecture then prevalent on the Münsterhügel. The museum was conceived as a 'universal museum' to house both science and art exhibits. As its stock of objects grew, and to create space for future collections, the courtyard annex, designed by architects Vischer & Söhne, was opened in 1917. A bold new extension has now been added to the Vischer building by Herzog & de Meuron, with the added storey under the impressively designed folded roof.

US sweeps 1st Olympic qualifier in ski halfpipe
Eagles' Reid and Jenkins fine after sideline spat
Marlins drop both games of doubleheader
PHOENIX (AP) -- Rookie Wade Miley pitched eight innings to earn his 14th victory, and Arizona beat the Miami Marlins 3-0 Wednesday night to complete a sweep of the first home doubleheader in Diamondbacks history.
Fellow left-hander Tyler Skaggs made his major league debut in the opener, allowing two runs and three hits over 6 2-3 innings in a 3-2 Diamondbacks victory.
Miley (14-8) gave up four singles, struck out five and walked one. He struck out the side in the eighth.
Paul Goldschmidt singled in a run in the first, then doubled and scored in the fourth for Arizona. Aaron Hill had a two-run homer and RBI single in the first game.
Miami's Wade LeBlanc (2-3) gave up three runs, two earned, and five hits in seven innings in the nightcap.
J.J. Putz pitched a scoreless ninth in both games for his 16th and 17th consecutive saves. He has 26 saves in 29 tries on the year.
With the sweep, the Diamondbacks salvaged a split of the four-game series.
Justin Ruggiano hit a two-run homer off Skaggs for Miami's only runs in 18 innings on the day. After collecting 35 hits while winning the first two games of the series, the Marlins managed nine total in the doubleheader.
A.J. Pollock, just recalled from Triple-A Reno, got Arizona off to a fast start in the second game. He hit a leadoff single in the first, made it to third on a pair of groundouts and scored on Goldschmidt's single.
The Diamondbacks added two more in the fourth. Chris Johnson had a bloop RBI single and Goldschmidt scampered home when Rob Brantly had a passed ball with Miley at the plate.
Miami had two runners on with no outs in the seventh, but Miley escaped by retiring Carlos Lee and Austin Kearns on fly balls to right and coaxing Ruggiano into a fielder's choice.
The Marlins turned in a couple of defensive gems in the second game, but it wasn't enough. Center fielder Gorkys Hernandez made an outstanding diving grab of Gerardo Parra's deep fly ball in the fifth, and Ruggiano cut down Hill trying to score from second on Chris Young's single in the eighth.
In the opener, the 21-year-old Skaggs yielded Ruggiano's homer in the second, then shut down the Marlins on one hit the rest of his outing. He fanned four and survived five walks.
When he left the game, Skaggs got a standing ovation from the 17,239 in attendance, the smallest home crowd for Arizona this season. The small crowd didn't matter to Skaggs, who appreciated the response.
"It was phenomenal," he said. "I mean, the greatest feeling I've had so far in my life."
Jacob Turner (0-1) allowed three runs and four hits in six innings in his first start for Miami since coming to the Marlins in a trade deadline deal with Detroit.
"Outstanding," Miami manager Ozzie Guillen said. "He was relaxed on the mound, very nice and loose. He was throwing a lot of strikes. He made one bad pitch but I like what I see."
Guillen had to see most of it on a television in the clubhouse.
He was ejected by first base umpire Angel Campos after the top of the third inning of the opener. It was the second time he has been tossed this season.
"I have been ejected 27 times but that one was a weird one," Guillen said. "The excuse he is going to make is I was throwing water at him. I never did. I just threw water on the field then some of the players were telling me I got kicked out of the game."
NOTES: The series featured three of the four smallest home crowds for the Diamondbacks this season. ... Guillen said OF Emilio Bonifacio "will be out for a little while" with a sprained right knee. He was injured early in Tuesday night's game, was out of the lineup and underwent an MRI. ... Arizona OF Justin Upton sat out the games with a sore right hamstring. An MRI was negative, the Diamondbacks said.

Q: filling array list with objects, causing all elements to be the same in list I am trying to fill an arrayList with objects created from reading integers from a text file that represent points (two integers per line).  I'm attempting to do this in a loop.  The ArrayList seems to fill, but when I print it out after, all the elements in each index are the same as the last element added to the ArrayList.  This seems to have something to do with each arrayList index pointing to the object (my newbie guess).  Do I have to create a unique object for each arrayList entry? Is there an easy way to add to this code to do this?

           Points.add(newPoints);

        }
        for(int i = 0; i < Points.size(); i++)
         System.out.println(Points.get(i));

         readFile.closeInputFile();

    }

A: Obviously, you have only one Point2DDemo object newPoint through out the code. In your while loop, you are changing the same newPoint with different values, and it finally has one pair of values.
You should put the Point2DDemo newPoints = new Point2DDemo(); INTO while loop:
public void createList()
{
    FileIO readFile = new FileIO();
    readFile.openInputFile();
    String pointLine = null;

    StringTokenizer stringSplit = null;

    while(readFile.hasInputLine())
    {

       Point2DDemo newPoints = new Point2DDemo();
       pointLine = readFile.readInputLine();
       stringSplit = new StringTokenizer(pointLine);

       double pointX = Double.parseDouble(stringSplit.nextToken());
       double pointY = Double.parseDouble(stringSplit.nextToken());

       newPoints.putPair(pointX, pointY);

       Points.add(newPoints);

    }
    for(int i = 0; i < Points.size(); i++)
     System.out.println(Points.get(i));

     readFile.closeInputFile();

}

A: All you're currently doing is repeatedly setting the values of a single Point2DDemo and adding multiple references to it to the ArrayList.
To answer your question: yes, you'll need to create a new Object for every set of points.
Something like:
Point2D point = new Point2D( xPoint, yPoint );

Should do. (this code won't work as written, but will get you moving in the right direction.)

A: What happens is that you populate your array list with references to the same object.
In your loop you need to create new newpoints for each iteration.
Something along these lines:
// Outside of the lopp
Pont2DDemo newpoints;

// inside the loop
newpoints = new Point2DDemo();
newPoints.putPair(pointX, pointY);
Points.add(newPoints);

Christie at NJ 101.5 for 'Ask The Governor' at 7 p.m.: Get your questions heard!
Thursday night, Gov. Chris Christie will return to for "Ask the Governor," hosted by Eric Scott. Watch the program live at 7PM here at WPGtalkradio.com.
It hasn't been a good week for the governor. Monday, the legislature killed a controversial deal with the governor to let him profit from a book deal while securing higher salaries for legislative staffers and other public employees. He'd also backed a measure to let municipalities stop places public notices in newspapers — a measure publishers throughout the state said would result in papers closing and massive layoffs. But that measure's gone back to the drawing board, and won't come up again until next year, if at all.
The governor will be taking your calls at (800) 283-1015.


I didn't enjoy the Christchurch earthquakes. But at least as bad as the earthquakes were the depressing policy failures that followed. Policy moves stoked regime uncertainty and stymied recovery.
When I started in at the Initiative, I'd asked Oliver if we'd be able to take on earthquake policy as part of the deal. Wellington's earthquake-prone, and I wanted us to at least try to help make it less likely I'd have to live through another Christchurch-style policy mess if Wellington got its quake.
Jason Krupp started the work for us before he moved on to the Minister of Finance's office last year; Bryce Wilkinson and I finished things up. The report came out today.
The biggest upshot: government needs to plan ahead for the next earthquake to avoid causing the kind of regime uncertainty that stymied recovery in Christchurch.
If you set the legislative and governance framework now for a recovery agency, it won't have to be creating itself while dealing with earthquake recovery.
If Councils look through their long-term plans now for things they'd want to have in place after a natural disaster, they won't have to put downtown recovery on hold for two years while figuring out zoning changes that have far less to do with geophysical changes than they do with just general urban planning – like Christchurch's precincts. And at the same time, if they identify bits in the city plan that would be really important to change after an earthquake, like Christchurch's absurd rule against secondary kitchens, those changes can be made automatically after a disaster rather than relying on frazzled Council staff to make the fixes.
If government evaluates the trialed (and look-to-be-excellent) Kaikoura changes to EQC and formalises them for the next one, everybody will know who has which jobs after the next one, and EQC won't have to again try scaling up to run insurance assessments better handled by private insurers.
I'm an optimist. The current Labour-led government should have little need to defend the bad parts of the prior government's response to the earthquakes. And Labour MPs represent the parts of town that were hit hardest by policy failures around insurance.
As I wrote in the NBR ($), this is one of those really important but not urgent policies that's too easily left on the backburner. It shouldn't be left there.
Interest.co.nz on our suggestion that failed insurers be handled through an insurance parallel to Open Banking Resolution. We think it could help avoid bailouts, but there are important details that would have to be worked out. We suggested it as something the government should consider, rather than necessarily implement.
Former Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker on the report. Wish he'd been asked why he didn't ease up the ban on secondary kitchens when people were living in garages.
I also chatted with Mike Hosking this morning about it but haven't seen a link around yet. Should be on the TVNZ news this evening, so stay tuned for that. Will link when it's up. Will be chatting with Stephen McIvor on the RadioLive Drive show at 3.45 this afternoon as well.
Update: bit of fun. I liked Charlie Gates's attempt to cross Christchurch's downtown without hitting empty derelict sites.
Can I get from one corner of Christchurch to the other without passing an empty site?

Italy's GNP doubles if you consider family care.
conomist Andrea Ichino is the co-author, with Albert Alesina of "L'Italia Fatta in Casa," which attempts to assess Italy's gross national product in terms of the value of goods and services produced in the home and family context, outside the traditional confines of the industrial marketplace.
For example, most Italian child and elderly care is managed by families instead of being farmed out to third-person institutions, which flourish in North America. According to Ichino's findings, Italian GNP — $1.81 trillion in 2008 — doubles if family contributions are taken into account. "The inequality of well-being may not correspond to the economic inequality," he says. At the same time, Italy's focus on family can put a dent in civics. "Our kitchens are clean, but the streets are a mess," he says.
A Milan native, the 50-year-old Ichino received a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institution of Technology and is a professor of economics at the University of Bologna. He has published widely on issues such as social mobility, gender inequality and labor markets.
Italy's moved city-to-city in the 1950s.
Alberto Alesina and I have been friends for a long time. One evening we got to chatting about the earnings gap between men and women. We considered one solution might be to tax them at different rates.
The earnings gap is everywhere, but is particularly noticeable in Italy. We wondered whether it originated in the market or at home. If men and women in Italy had the same role inside the family, you might not have such a gap. If the benefits for a woman to enter the market aren't interesting enough, women will choose to say home.
So, if employers were perfect machines that hired people without knowing their gender, we would still have only few female managers or in positions in universities.
The matter of women and choice is a big part of the book. Isn't it a chicken or egg problem?
The division of roles in the family reflects a preference.
While some say this is how things are, don't touch it, others say that if the state offered more services, such as daycare or nursing homes, women would work more. They say the problem of women's discontent reflects the state's failure.
We don't think it's so obvious. Would Italians accept higher taxes to pay for such services? They don't seem to want to. They want an income that's high enough to keep the elderly at home.
The same for children. How many Italians would really put their children in daycare three months after birth?
These decisions are as much emotional as a matter of economics, aren't they?
Yes, but it is a choice that Italians make. The Swedish choose the state as provider of these services.
Maybe Italians don't think the state can handle the job?
That's possible. But it could also be the opposite. Our sense is that cultural values and trust in the family are more deeply rooted than matters of state efficiency.
Economic and historical studies … suggest that Italians prefer entrusting several roles to the family. The state is how it is because the Italians want it that way.
Is the state the only alternative to the family? What about the private sector?
That's another reason choice is involved. If there were demand for these services, someone would step in to this market. People who say these services don't exist because the state doesn't exist can't account for the fact the market doesn't offer them either.
From age three, all Italian children have the right to nursery school, which is more than in the UK or the United States.
So why is the rate of female employment so low here and higher in the U.S.? Frankly I am not convinced that if daycare centers were on every corner that Italian women would use them.
Tell me about reactions to the book?
We get many messages from mothers and women happy that their contribution and work has been recognized.
However, I was amazed that some in the Catholic world saw the book as an attack on the family! Our only goal was to show that choice has costs. The gap between men and women seems so pathological, so large with respect to other countries that we had to ask if we really wanted it this way — or if we shouldn't correct it somehow. The book doesn't try to answer the question.
How could it be corrected?
Differential taxation, by correcting the incentive for women. With a higher after-tax income, they'll have an incentive to work more. That way we could narrow the gap without quotas or enforced equality.
So it's a philosophical choice about how to live.
Economists' starting point is the concept that individuals and societies should maximize their well-being. That's why the book avoids saying things should be a certain way.
Italy is a proportional democracy, so the choice of politicians reflects the choice of citizens. It's up to Italians to decide. Italians often want things, without understanding the costs.
Take geographic mobility. Do you want to stay in the same place where you were born, with your traditions, where you were brought up? Then you have to accept that companies might not want to come there. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
But Italians used to move for work.
Society itself facilitates this kind of movement in America. Again, this is a preference. Swedes still move more, and they gave the role of providing social services to the state.
Any ideas for policies to encourage men to take more responsibility?
In Sweden men are obligated to stay home on maternity leave. Another way is quotas for women. At the same time, there is evidence that children watch more television when the father is at home.
As economists, we don't feel legal obligation is a good way to achieve equality. We believe that it is better to use incentives.
Did anything surprise you while writing the book?
Yes, the fact that the Italian GNP doubles if you take the family contribution into consideration. Plus, it seemed incredible to realize as economists that we study what is produced in the market so much and what is produced in the home so little. It's absurd! This has implications for rankings of countries as well as for inequalities within countries. The inequality of well-being may not correspond to the economic inequality.
Look at the great difference between who earns a lot and who earns little in the U.S., which is reflected in differences in the access to services. Low earners can't afford a nursing home.
In Italy there may be economic differences in two families, but both may have their parents at home. So what seems like a difference in market terms really isn't because the services provided at a nursing home and in the family home are the same.
So it's true, as Italians contend, that they have a better lifestyle?
The funny thing is Italians are more or less happy, but they complain. But they need to realize that their country is the way it is because of choices they make.
Are Italians unaware of the effects of their choices?
There is a lack of civic sense. We are all against inefficiency and corruption but don't pay for the bus ticket. This is what is called the problem of public good.
I know I should pay taxes, because if everyone did, it would be better for all, but my own private drive is to avoid it. It's a general economic problem, but the problem of riding for free is worse in Italy than elsewhere.
Does Italian education have any influence on this?
In Italy you still take 10 hours of Greek and Latin rather than a modern language. There is this an idea that attending a liceo classico (Italian classical high school, usually ages 14-19) makes you part of the elite, because many elites have gone there.
People don't understand the basic principle of economics — causality. Those who attend liceo classico are elite to begin with. There is self-selection.
Which has significant effects on Italian society, doesn't it?
We studied social mobility in the U.S. and Italy a few years ago. In Italy, if a father has a university degree, the odds that his son will have one go up 25 times. In the U.S. it's only six times. There is greater persistence of social status in Italy. If success depends on university or family, in Italy you are better off choosing your family; in the U.S. it's choosing your university.
It's paradoxical. Although equal opportunity was the inspiring principle of the Italian public education system, it has failed and the private, more competitive American one creates greater social mobility.
Yet many Italians insist their country is classless because everyone goes to public schools.
In the U.S. there are more instruments that provide access for children from poor families to better universities. In the U.S. there is more social mobility, downward as well. What counts is what you as an individual do.
Here, you find work through family channels or directly in family business. This system may be fine, but has its costs.
The other day, I went to my dentist and was seen by his son. I had to wonder, is he there because he is a good dentist, or because he is my dentist's son?
Are there policies that might make the existing system work better?
The Italian model has advantages; that's why I came back to Italy. But we have to understand this delicate mechanism. That said, we think the university system could be reformed without destroying the family.
Then there is the somewhat pathologic situation of children staying at home until they are adults. I don't want to demonize this, but it could be corrected, because it gives them the idea that they should find work where they want it, not the other way around.
Why does providing some services at home mean that others are poor?
Keeping grandpa at home, doesn't exclude also having a post office that works… It is a tradeoff because as long as Italians only look after their family, they will not look after the public good. Our kitchens are clean, but the streets are a mess. [In] Italy people tend to act only for their own family's good. It's a vicious circle: public transport is not any good, so I don't take it or I don't pay for a ticket.
Is there a solution to breaking out of the cycle?
We can't change the minds of 50 year olds. We can change teaching regarding ethical problems in school.
I have four children in the Italian system. There is a tough line between being a good citizen and speaking up and being considered a tattletale or a spy. The reasoning is since everyone else cheats, why shouldn't I? If I am the only one doing it, it's not worth it. But if everyone is doing it, it isn't worth it to me to get a bad grade.
This attitude drives my American children crazy.
I don't think Americans are ethically different, but we need to understand why these two different balances exist.
Here's an example: During a protest at a school in Florence there was €15,000 of damage and everyone paid. The message was that there was no individual responsibility. As long as I can do €15,000 of damage and only pay a minimal part, things won't change.
