Key Comics From 2006
[ Note: for the year prior, a newsstand rarity estimate of 2% exists for Marvel. If you are not already in-the-know about the difference between newsstand and direct edition comics see the following: Comic Book Newsstand Editions: Understanding The Difference ]
There are two main ways I've seen online lists of key comics presented by year: (1) personalized lists based upon judgment calls of what is "key" (thereby omitting any comics the particular writer doesn't happen to consider key — or doesn't know about), and (2) lists based upon high sales price data (also a flawed method because high prices can just as easily be caused by a non-key book happening to grade a 10 at CGC).
The top 50 list you're about to see is neither of those other types.
Instead, to briefly repeat the introduction I gave on the main 2000's page, the list I'm about to present is essentially "crowd-sourced"… by the crowd of collectors sending comics to CGC. All I've done here is to rank the universe of comic books published in 2006, according to how many copies of each issue have passed through CGC's doors to date to reveal the comics with the highest census counts — that's it!
This exercise should "tease out" a very interesting list of important and/or key comics from 2006, but this will not necessarily be an all-encompassing list (if very few copies were created for a given key, for example, that restricted supply could keep the count of CGC submissions low even though the comic is very important — this exercise will unfortunately see such comics sort themselves off of the bottom through no fault of their own). So essentially, you should think of this list as just one more tool in your tool-belt of researching key comics from 2006. You can also drill down and see the top 50 Marvel comics of 2006, top 50 D.C. comics of 2006, and more key comic books of 2006 from other publishers.

Fiat's flagship dealer group Motor Village UK hosted Italian ambassador Pasquale Terracciano to pick up his new Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
The embassy contacted the dealership about buying the new car. Terracciano picked up a Giulietta 1.4 170 TCT Business Edition from Fabio di Prima, managing director, Motor Village UK.
The twin-clutch, semi-automatic car will be used for general Embassy duties, including travelling to official engagements throughout London, and collecting foreign delegates arriving from Italy into Heathrow airport.
Terracciano said: "The official Ambassador's car is a Maserati, but the Alfa will be ideal for me when I want to move around with a little less visibility.


Fright is a character in Extinctioners.
Frigit is an elemental, like Phenix. While Phenix is an elemental known as a phoenix, which represents the element of fire, Frigit is a young Aquanix in training for the element of water. Being rebirthed only 98 years ago, Frigit would have the mentality of a mortal late teenager, so she is very impatient and often reckless in her duties.
Unlike Phenix, who is a artificially created female phoenix, Frigit and her line of Aquanix are always representative of the female gender. All ground based elementals represent the Mother Earth motif, life givers, thus they take on female forms. Air born or otherwise elementals such as Wind, Fire, Electricity are always (normally) represented by males. Each have chosen an avian form as their mortal forms.

Supporting Depop's AV for Quality Communication
Installing a new AV system for the sustainable fashion app's meetings and showcases
"Our clients and associates can see that everything works perfectly with our new installation and it really helps Depop present itself to people in a much clearer way for the long term"
As the world of clothing has seen a definite shift in sustainability, a high demand for vintage items on the social marketplace with the cult Gen Z following, Depop, and in turn, users are now attempting to build a following and run their own online shops.
For any start-up company, building a repour with clients is of the utmost importance and being able to provide the right meeting space or showcase set-up is crucial. Based in Shoreditch with a typically modern, industrial, stripped back office aesthetic, Depop's recently designed workplace completely reflects its edgy but functional brand identity.
Using raw, clean materials and an electric design scheme, Depop's office consists of open-plan workspaces that inspire collaborating with a communal kitchen and a spacious front-of-house area – perfect for holding team meetings and showcasing products.
This space was initially supported by a single box of AV equipment and a couple of speakers for meetings of up to 50-150 employees, a lot of them being streamed from the US. While the global pandemic has seen a halt to these events for the foreseeable future, the company called upon Flipside Soundsystem to help meet its audio visual needs.
The goal was simple: to have a smooth-looking system that was easy to use and did not have cables lying around on the floor. "We were looking around at various companies for this project and a lot of them just didn't have the right vision we were looking for," IT Support Engineering Lead, Hayden Duffy explained. "We eventually went with Flipside as they were very personable and just knew what they were talking about."
James Cooper, Managing Director of Flipside, worked with Depop to help overcome its technical issues and eventually Duffy and the team were more than willing to invest in a system that was more resilient and that could support the company in the long term.
"James was a really great collaborator," Duffy adds. "He just knew the exact solutions we needed and how we could utilise each system as effectively as possible. On one of the installation days, the team and I popped in and we got the full explanation of how everything worked which was great and I think once we're back in the office, they will promote us and support us further which is exactly what we want to hear."
Requiring a comprehensive system that was in-keeping with the brand's niche aesthetic, the Flipside team were on-hand to deliver a solution that could disappear into the background. In terms of sound, the speakers included two Yamaha VXL1W16 column speakers, one VXL1B8 and a final VXS10SW in white and black to match the walls they were installed on. The amplification and processing called upon a Yamaha MTX5D and an XMV4280 located in a hidden rack. Audio-Technica were the brand of choice for the wireless mics with two ATW-3211/892x and four ATW-3212/C510s, allowing presenters the freedom to roam without cables.
For the visual side, two white NEC P525UL 5,000 lumen native WUXGA projectors have been flown from the ceiling and fire onto a pair of motorised Sahara Pro Electric Hall Screens. Visual processing is handled by a Wyrestorm MX 0404 HDBT 4K, while conveniently located Single Gang 2XD and 4xD wall boxes complete the project.
"There was quite a lot to do, but it ended up being a fun problem to have – being able to design a system that allows the team to use each aspect dynamically but present them with a user interface that's incredibly simple. So, you solve that problem and they get a really high-end, high quality solution," recalls Cooper.
Depop was also faced with the challenge of its IT team and technical crew spending a lot of time setting up each system - often requiring someone to sit at the back of each event with an analogue mixer during department Zoom calls.
To counter this, Flipside were able to offer a much simpler process that the technical team could get onboard with. "They were really happy because they don't have to do anything," Cooper explains. "With this installation, you don't have to change any batteries on microphones, they all have charging stations, so you can simply choose what you want, and the wall panel turn it up and it sounds great every time."
Depop's presentations naturally require a dynamic element and this can all depend on the amount of people in attendance. "You're not talking about a meeting room that might have around a dozen executives in it," Cooper adds, "you're talking about an all-hands-on-deck meeting and that ultimately determines how much tech we need – like wireless mics, for example. How we present it and how the sound levels are adjusted – the audience needed to be at the forefront and that was always our aim for this installation."
For a fashion marketplace, it is imperative to have a professional, sleek look – even when it comes to the technical side of things. As part of the installation, the two projector screens were upgraded to three metres in length and were then hung on tension steel cables on the left and right sides of the speaking position – giving a very impressive look.
"There was a really nice moment when we dropped everything down during the testing and when you stand back, you can barely notice that the infrastructure is there until you turn these projectors on and then the screen comes down and we were all just standing there looking at it like, 'oh wow!'," he adds. "It was even more impressive considering we were hanging screens that big on tension steel cables off of what turned out to be a false ceiling."
A start-up business often means sharing the control and having the flexibility to combine more than one solution with another, which could not be more relevant with a technical installation. As Cooper summarises: "The philosophy of start-up companies and the requirements for their AV (especially online and tech-based start-ups) ultimately results in a hybrid between traditional, meeting room-style presentation systems with live and more dynamic elements of things, as in the amount of wireless mics, how you need to present it as well as the sound level – at the end of it all, the audience needs to be at the forefront."
"Various recording events in London are always trying to win people over with the best experience and presenting yourself with trading cables everywhere and a clearly botched together solution just isn't' going to fit," reflects Duffy. "Thanks to Flipside, our clients and associates can see that everything works perfectly with our new installation and it really helps Depop present itself to people in a much clearer way for the long term."

NOT LESS THAN 23 House of Representatives members under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may soon defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), it was learnt yesterday.
The lawmakers are aggrieved by alleged plans by their state governors to substitute them with "anointed candidates".
The soon-to-be-defectors became uncomfortable with alleged manipulations by the governors in their states to block them from returning to the Green Chamber after the expiration of their tenure next year.
A source said the aggrieved lawmakers are set to announce their defection immediately after resumption.
The lawmakers have vowed that though they may not be able to contest as nomination and expression of interest forms have closed in the APC, they would be satisfied with bringing their teeming supporters to the ruling party.
The states mostly affected by nomination crises are: Enugu, Ekiti, Anambra and Cross River, Gombe, Benue and Kogi.
The source said the handling of nominations in the identified PDP states, was frustrating sitting lawmakers from returning to the parliament.
Also, a committee overseeing smooth nomination of all PDP candidates across the states has failed to resolve the crisis.
Some affected lawmakers from the Southeast states have also aligned with their angry colleagues, saying they might defect if their governors refuse to change their position.
Because of the situation, the lawmakers are allegedly demanding an early resumption against the background of speculated postponement of the resumption to October.
"We are insisting that the National Assembly should resume early, to enable us perfect our defection strategy for good," the source added.
Efforts to the reach House Leader Femi Gbajabiamiila to ask if he was aware of the proposed move failed.
The Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuma Oyema, could also not be reached for reactions on the issue.


The U.S. Navy has a global mission to project power and protect the sea lines of communication that help keep our economy, and the world's, running smoothly. That's a tall order for a Fleet with a dwindling number of vessels. While all ship types and communities are important to this task, a large share of the burden falls on the cruisers, destroyers, and going forward, littoral combat ships (LCSs) of the surface Navy. Those assets are often spread pretty thin. Many voices have advocated in these pages for more ships, most recently with retired Captain Gordan Van Hook calling for an expeditionary frigate in the November issue. There seemed to be consensus that the Navy needed another surface combatant, but what kind of ship should it be?
Just as we were going to press, outgoing Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel ended the suspense by announcing that an "up-gunned" version of the LCS would be the next small surface combatant for the Fleet, replacing the last 20 ships of the original buy. Some observers may have been underwhelmed with this news, but Hagel defended the decision, saying that "By avoiding a new class of ships and new system design costs, it also represents the most responsible use of our industrial base investment while expanding commonality in the fleet." Like it or not, these vessels are here to stay and will be required to play an important role for the Fleet in the coming years.
How might these upgraded LCSs be used? Vice Admiral Thomas Rowden, Commander of Naval Surface Forces; Rear Admiral Peter Gumataotao, Commander of Naval Surface Force Atlantic; and Rear Admiral Peter Fanta, Director of Surface Warfare (N96) weigh in with a consummate overview of current surface-fleet thinking. The CNO's "Warfighting First" call-to-arms has been fully embraced by the surface force as the sole guiding principle, and the authors present a blueprint for the creation of "hunter-killer" surface action groups, maximizing the community's potential and maintaining the United States' global position as the dominant naval power. These groups would provide "distributed lethality" and feature a versatile, interchangeable mix of cruisers, destroyers, and LCSs.
Secretary Hagel's December announcement that the Navy would up-gun the LCS may have been welcome news to some, but according to longtime Proceedings author retired Rear Admiral William J. Holland Jr., "those actions unfortunately do not reflect the vision or the necessary planning for the next generation of warships." Tomorrow's Fleet will require successors to the Arleigh Burke–class guided-missile destroyer and the Virginia attack submarine, and the designers of that force should be getting to work now to identify what the vessels might look like ten years down the road. Admiral Holland spells out in careful detail the process the Navy must follow to ensure it gets the Fleet it needs.
Gregory Cox takes a closer look at the LCS to determine what lessons can be learned when developing future small surface combatants. He believes that "the Navy writ large lacked a coherent vision for LCS, or perhaps more accurately, different elements within the Navy had (at least) three distinct visions that conflicted with each other." Performance issues aside, Cox considers these differing visions to have stymied the LCS's acceptance—both in and out of the Navy. In the pursuit of its next surface combatant, the Navy needs to clearly articulate exactly what that ship is expected to do.

Q: Trying to create a DAO recordset from an array I'm using VB6 and trying to create a DAO recordset from an array of data.
I want something like this but I've hit all kinds of problems
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim tdf As New DAO.TableDef
Dim fld As New DAO.Field

rst.Fields.Append tdf.CreateField(arrayHeader(0), adInteger, 5)
rst.OpenRecordset

rst.AddNew Array(arrayHeader(0), arrayHeader(1)), Array (arrData(0), arrData(1))

Code is simplified to highlight the problem I have.
Arrays are declared and have data in them. Problem at the moment is trying to add the field to the recordset. Is it possible to have a disconnected DAO RecordSet like this?
I have to use DAO for various reasons that really aren't worth getting into.

A: It is not possible to fabricate a DAO Recordset in that way. A DAO Recordset cannot be disconnected; it needs to be always connected to a data source.
For what it's worth, a disconnected ADODB Recordset can be fabricated in almost exactly the way you have coded.

François Bonamy (Nantes, 10 de maio de 1710 – Nantes 5 de janeiro de 1786) foi um médico e botânico francês.

Biografia
Ensinou botânica publicamente e gratuitamente durante quase 50 anos, e as suas custas manteve um jardim botânico exótico. Foi fundador da primeira Sociedade de Agricultura da França e o autor de  "Flore des environs de Nantes",  publicado em 1782. Foi regente da Faculdade de Medicina de Nantes, procurador-geral e, em seguida, reitor da Universidade Real de Nantes. Foi diretor do Jardim das Plantas da mesma cidade em 1737, e médico particular de Barin de la Galissonnière.

Em 1764, graças a um ramo trazido por um jovem boticário, conhecido como Louvrier, Bonamy identificou a magnólia-branca ou Magnolia grandiflora que havia sido plantada em 1731 em Maillardière, perto de Rezé, por uma autoridade municipal de Nantes conhecido como Darquistade. Durante vários anos, com a ajuda do seu jardineiro Moreau, Bonamy tentou reproduzir sem sucesso a planta por estaquia do ramo. Finalmente, após quatro anos de tentativas, obteve a recompensa de reproduzir a famosa árvore, que após plantada em jardins e parques, atraíram pessoas e afirmaram a notoriedade botânica de Nantes.

Lorsque Bonamy cessou suas atividades em 1780,  sendo sucedido por Armand Prudent Lemerle.

Uma rua da cidade de Rezé porta o seu nome.

6 productivity solutions that would benefit a 15-inch MacBook Air
By Kane Fulton 2016-06-09T11:57:00.16Z
These would still come in handy
At last! According to the rumour mill, Apple is readying a 15-inch MacBook Air. This is great news for fans of the company's larger laptops, and anybody who values having a ton of space on the desktop to be productive. Fingers crossed that it will come with a gorgeous 4K display to rival the Dell XPS 15.
It's been a challenging few years for productivity-focused Air owners who aren't prepared to trade the machine's portability to get hold of the heavier and bulkier MacBook Pro's Retina display.
As such, in addition to using an external monitor, you may have learnt a trick or two in your quest to get hold of more pixels. The question is: would such methods still come in useful with a larger 15-inch MacBook Air? Click (or tap) on ahead to find out.

1. A portable USB monitor
The road warrior's ultimate pixel-providing companion, portable USB monitors are a niche yet highly useful alternative to lugging around a full-sized monitor. You can even use them as dinner trays. When it comes to their intended purpose, older models powered by USB 2.0 suffer from high input lag, which thankfully has been rectified by newer ones sporting faster USB 3.0 connectivity.
Quality varies depending on price, with cheaper TN panel-equipped monitors tending to suffer from poor viewing angels compared to more expensive IPS-equipped variants. On the plus side they only require a single USB port for display and power.
Appeal: 4/10. Sure, you could hook up a portable monitor with a 15-inch MacBook Air, but would you need to? The Air's display would likely provide enough pixels alone for you to be productive on the move.
2. A Sliden'Joy
Why put up with a single portable monitor when you can have two? That's the thinking behind the Sliden'Joy, an accessory that effectively attaches two portable 1080p monitors to each side of the laptop's display while connecting using a single USB 3.0 cable.
A potentially great idea, we can't actually salute you for trying it because the Sliden'Joy still hasn't gone on sale after several years in production. Boo.
Appeal: 7/10. It's unlikely you would take the potentially bulky Sliden'joy with you on your travels, but combining two 1080p displays with a 15-inch Air's display could make for a compelling alternative to monitors that are part of a permanent home setup.
3. An iPad
A thoroughly modern method, using an iPad to extend your desktop can be easily done through a number of "Second Screen" iOS apps. They can be particularly useful if you have one of Apple's more recent tablets, with its iPad Pro being a genuine small monitor replacement.
Be careful, though: this method can prove infuriatingly laggy if your local Wi-Fi connection is slow. Though messier, using apps that require a cable to be connected from the iPad to your MacBook work much faster.
Appeal: 8/10. The iPad Pro would continue to serve as a useful second screen, and owners of smaller iPads would be able to put theirs to good use too.
4. A projector
Real cinema-goers know that the only way to get more screen space while maximising the movie experience is to hook up a MacBook Air to a projector.
Alright, so you'll be forced to use a VGA or HDMI connection and will only manage to obtain a picture with a slightly higher resolution than your MacBook's display, but still; you can't beat beaming Netflix onto your bedroom's six-foot wall.
Appeal: 8/10. We're counting on any new MacBook Air to come with Multiple USB-C ports to keep the projector dream alive. Having at least two ports would allow newer 4K projectors to be hooked up, making for a mighty compelling home cinema experience.
5. A TV
A MacBook Air is curiously satisfying to use with a large TV and has made for a default setup for many living room-dwelling owners throughout the years. Whether hooked up to a TV using a DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable or routed through an Apple TV, any MacBook Air is turned into an instant media centre that's comfortable to use on your lap.
This method has enjoyed a revival with the arrival of cheaper 4K televisions, and would complement a 15-inch MacBook Air nicely.
Appeal: 10/10. With 4K models coming down in price, you can't see this method falling in popularity.
6. Mission Control
OS X's Mission Control has long proved the easiest way to get hold of more desktop space without additional hardware. Formerly known as Exposé, it lets you quickly locate open windows and assign apps to multiple many virtual desktops, reducing clutter and saving time.
Mission Control works brilliantly when used in conjunction with OS X's Hot Corners feature, which is activated by drifting the mouse into the corner of the desktop.
Appeal: 5/10. Mission Control is going nowhere, but with more screen real-estate on a 15-inch MacBook Air, the need to pin apps to virtual desktops would be greatly reduced.

Q: GPU temperature very high hope you can help. I've sold my main problems using info from the site.
I have a HP laptop Pavilion g7 with AMD A8-4500 APU with radeon(tm) graphics 1.90 ghz, 4.00 gb, 64-bit OS, win8.1. The GPU temp is around hundred when surfing thr net, and up to 108 when streaming videos. (For some strange reason it is as low as 86 right now, it must've got scared my writing to you). With these temps the fan seems to switch between medium and high, right now with the temps at 86 it is quiet.I'm not a computer person, but I am slowly learning, so if you can keep the lingo at amateur level.

A: There are several ways to check the temperature of the CPU:
By accessing the BIOS setup
Using software such as CoreTemp

Anyway if you are sure your pc fan is working, don't worry AMD processor are
working just fine with higher temp than intel processor
i had a laptop with AMD processor 75 up to 90 is normal.
more than that check your fan

A: Thanks for the replies. Since I've found out it was the gpu-z program's fault. I got me the core temp prgram and the temps are about half of what gpu-z is displaying. It makes sense that the core-temp numbers are correct rather than gpu-z ones, because the fans really turn on when temps get to 80c or so.

Both leaders affirmed that India and Indonesia are maritime neighbours whose relations are rooted in civilizational contacts developed through the seas and who share similar perceptions of the evolving maritime environment in the region and the world at large.
Both leaders recognized their shared commitment to democracy, pluralistic society, human rights and the rule of law;
Both leaders affirmed their deep respect for each other's contribution to promoting peace, stability and development in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and beyond;
Both leaders committed to maintaining a maritime legal order based on the principles of international law, as reflected notably in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
Both leaders recognized that India and Indonesia share common interests in ensuring maritime security and the safety of sea lines of communication. Both leaders recognized the importance of freedom of navigation and overflight on the high seas, unimpeded lawful commerce, as well as resolving maritime disputes by peaceful means, in accordance with universally recognised principles of international law including the UNCLOS.
Both Leaders affirmed the need to combat, prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing. Both Leaders recognized transnational organized fisheries crime as one of the emerging crimes, which has become an ever-growing threat to the world.
Both Leaders agreed to conclude a Memorandum of Understanding on Maritime Cooperation between Indonesia and India in order to further strengthen and accelerate maritime cooperation inter alia in maritime safety and security, and promotion of maritime industries, as one of the important pillars towards enhancing the bilateral relationship.

The Wales Route Utilisation Strategy is a Route Utilisation Strategy, published by Network Rail in November 2008. It was the tenth RUS to be produced. By default, RUSs are established by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) unless the latter objects within 60 days. A letter formally confirming establishment was sent by ORR to Network Rail in January 2009, and the RUS is included in Network Rail's map as established.

The scope includes the whole of Strategic Routes 14 - South and Central Wales and Borders  and 15 - South Wales Valleys, almost all of Route 22 - North wales and Borders, and also that part of Route 13 - Great Western Main Line  west of Pilning.

As with other RUSs, the Wales RUS took into account a number of responses
, including the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).

Many of the planned enhancements in and around Newport and Cardiff areas should be effected in conjunction with scheduled signal renewals. During Control Period 4, the capability of Cardiff city centre lines will be increased to 16 trains per hour in both directions (tph), from the current 12.

The RUS began the evaluation of significant infrastructure developments in the North Wales/Merseyside areas, which was taken up in the Merseyside RUS.

Prottes osztrák mezőváros Alsó-Ausztria Gänserndorfi járásában. 2020 januárjában 1457 lakosa volt.

Elhelyezkedése

Prottes a tartomány Weinviertel régiójában fekszik a Morva-mező északi részén. Területének 8,5%-a erdő, 75,8% áll mezőgazdasági művelés alatt. Az önkormányzat egyetlen településből és katasztrális községből áll.

A környező önkormányzatok: északra Ebenthal, keletre Angern an der March, délkeletre Weikendorf, délre Gänserndorf, délnyugatra Schönkirchen-Reyersdorf, nyugatra Matzen-Raggendorf.

Története
Prottest 1115-ben említik először. 1359-ben Hermann von Landenberg tartományi marasall szerezte meg, aki egyesítette matzeni uradalmával; ez a helyzet évszázadokig fennmaradt. 1645-ben, a harmincéves háborúban a svédek szállták meg a falut; Bécs 1683-as ostromakor a törökök kifosztották. 1700-ban a Kinsky grófok szerezték meg a birtokot, amely egészen 1848-ig az övék maradt. 1713-ban az utolsó pestisjárvány sújtotta a települést. 1809-ben Napóleon katonái szállták meg Prottest. Az 1832-es kolerajárvány 45 áldozatot követelt. 1849-ben megalakult a községi önkormányzat és először választottak polgármestert. Az első világháborúban 42, a másodikban 83 prottesi polgár vesztette életét.

Lakosság
A prottesi önkormányzat területén 2020 januárjában 1457 fő élt. A lakosságszám 1991 óta gyarapodó tendenciát mutat. 2018-ban az ittlakók 89,3%-a volt osztrák állampolgár; a külföldiek közül 0,8% a régi (2004 előtti), 3,3% az új EU-tagállamokból érkezett. 6,1% a volt Jugoszlávia (Szlovénia és Horvátország nélkül) vagy Törökország, 0,6% egyéb országok polgára volt. 2001-ben a lakosok 81,8%-a római katolikusnak, 2,2% evangélikusnak, 2% ortodoxnak, 4,5% mohamedánnak, 8,4% pedig felekezeten kívülinek vallotta magát. Ugyanekkor a legnagyobb nemzetiségi csoportokat a német (93%) mellett a törökök (2%) és a szerbek (1,6%) alkották.

A népesség változása:

Látnivalók

Have you dined in the middle of a field, first cultivated by the Ancient Greeks more than 2400 years ago before? No? Well, read on.
I am not knocking it, I am all about gastronomy, but I think people need to understand that finding an 'authentic or traditional dining experience', is not necessarily so easy. However, there are still a few restaurants along the coast, which, regardless of the numbers, have managed to create and maintain as 'authentic' an experience as you can find – Hora in Stari Grad is one of them.
Stari Grad is one of the oldest towns in Europe, in particular. Neolithic tribes first settled the area between 3500 – 2500 BC, before it was officially settled and inhabited by the Ancient Greeks in 384 BC. After founding what is now modern-day Stari Grad and naming it Faros (mostly likely after Paros), the Greeks turned their attention to some 80-hectares of nearby fertile land – the UNESCO Protected Stari Grad Plain. This land produced the majority of their food and farming practises have continued on the Stari Grad Plain uninterrupted since 384 BC (no small feat). It is the most fertile and largest cultivated land among all of the Mediterranean islands, and the original layout has been carefully maintained over 24 centuries by the preservation of the stone walls.
The Stari Grad Plain was also known as Ager or Hora, can you see where this is leading? Agroturizam Pharos or Hora, stands proudly in the heart of the Stari Grad Plain – one of the few buildings present. It is an eco-farm owned and run by the Zuvela family.
I first visited Hora in 2012 and I was instantly in love. At the time, I was a guide on a 'party boat', our itinerary was the standard island-hopping itinerary they still do today, a new destination every day, from Split to Dubrovnik and return. You take in the main highlights of central Dalmatia, but you are on the same route as everyone else – in the heat and the crowds; which is exactly why Hora was such a welcome surprise.
A mere 7-minute drive from Stari Grad and you enter another world. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by any number of animals roaming the farm – a dog, donkey, rooster… as you step out onto the grounds, you are met by the expansive Stari Grad Plain, with no other buildings around to impede your view, you will take a deep inhale and lose yourself in nature for that brief moment.
The Zuvela family proudly grow all their own, organic products – even their restaurant Marinero, in Hvar town, receives its produce from the farm. Which makes it, perhaps the only restaurant on the island to grow 100% of its own food.
Their speciality? They offer wine tastings, where you can try – Bogdanuša (a native grape variety to Hvar), Posip, Cuvee White, Rose or Barrique Plavac Mali and while you do so, order a plate of their homemade cheeses, pršut, sausages and olive oil. But save some space for the main reason everyone comes here – Peka.
Peka is a traditional meal of typically lamb or veal, cooked with potatoes, vegetables, olive oil and maybe a touch of rosemary, under an iron dome bell beneath glowing embers. When I go up to the village with my husband's family, this is what we will often cook. While Peka is a dish you can order (in advance) in a lot of restaurants along the coast; there are very few restaurants which offer the setting and ambience of Hora. I mean, come on, you are literally sitting in the middle of a UNESCO Heritage protected site, eating from land that the Ancient Greeks first cultivated. If this doesn't spell authentic, I don't know what does.
Will there be many people there? Yes. Alas, this is the blessing and the curse of tourism. Agroturizam Pharos has only grown in popularity since I first visited five years ago and they have bench seating to accommodate large groups; but in season, you will be hard-pressed to find a quiet restaurant. On the positive side, with no other buildings around, you will not have hordes of scantily-clad tourists walking past while you dine or any doof-doof music to contend with. Just you, with your family or friends, sipping on your glass of wine, watching the sunset over one of the greatest testaments to the agriculture of the Ancient Greeks.

If this sounds like an experience you want, then book your table in advance. You can find more information on Hora, Agroturizam Pharos and contact details here.

Yeast Traffic Light™ PNA FISH™ Candida Detection Submitted to FDA
The Yeast Traffic Light PNA FISH™ for detection of Candida yeast species from positive blood cultures has been submitted by AdvanDx for FDA 510(k) clearance.
Yeast Traffic Light™ is the latest addition to AdvanDx's easy-to-use, molecular-based PNA FISH™ diagnostics platform that provides rapid identification of bloodstream pathogens in hours instead of days.
Candidemia, a bloodstream infection caused by Candida species is one of the most serious hospital acquired infections, afflicting over 24,000 patients in the U.S. every year. Immunocompromised transplantation, oncology and AIDS patients are especially at risk for contracting the infection with mortality rates as high as 50%.[1]
While identification of the infecting Candida species is used to guide effective antifungal therapy, conventional laboratory methods can take up to 5 days or longer. Yeast Traffic Light™ will for the first time enable laboratories to rapidly detect, in a single test, up to five Candida species directly from positive blood cultures including C. albicans and C. parapsilosis, C. tropialis, and C. glabrata and C. krusei in hours instead of days. The rapid results should enable clinicians to provide early, effective and appropriate antifungal therapy for patients with candidemia.
A recent study by Della-Latta et al. presented at the 2008 ECCMID meeting in Barcelona, Spain demonstrated that rapid identification of Candida species using PNA FISH can significantly impact antifungal selection and care for patients with Candidemia. In the study, rapid identification of C. albicans led to a switch to the antifungal drug fluconazole for 70% of the patients that had been on caspofungin, a newer, more broad-spectrum but more expensive antifungal drug. At the same time, rapid identification of C. glabrata, a Candida species with high levels of resistance to fluconazole, led to an 81% switch to caspofungin for those patients that had otherwise been given fluconazole. Based on the study results, the authors concluded that the PNA FISH test 'can impact the appropriate selection of the most effective antifungal therapy, thereby making it a clinically relevant diagnostic assay.'[2]

                        //alert(idCategories[i]);
                        i=i+1;
                    }

             }
         }

    }
    request.send();
}

Sometimes even just an alert in $(document).ready does not work

A: Unless you use ajax or setTimeout in your function, they should play in the order you did put them.
The $(document).ready will only wait for the DOM to be Ready before calling your functions.
Provides an example of non working code if you want more information.

A: jQuery is kind of awesome because every async request gets returned as a Deferred object. Once you get the hang of them (they're simple), you'll never write async requests the same way again.
http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/
In a nutshell, if you say:
var x = $.get('/some_url', function(){ //your callback });

x now is a Deferred object. When your request finishes, either a .done() or .fail() in most cases.
You can also do:
var x = $.get('/some_url');
   x.done(function(){ //your callback });
There's a really nice utility called .when(). Read up on that, its what you need.

A: As Michael Laffargue said, unless you're using some kind of AJAX request, or doing something inside a setTimeout, your funcionts should be called in the right order.
Please keep in mind that jQuery has a bug with DOM state and iframes (check for reference: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/10067 ).
You're best bet is lo bind the .ready() callback function to the DOM instead of doing it inside an iframe.
Also, keep in mind that you can bind more than one .ready() callback.
Example:
$(document).ready(
  function(){
    console.log("Hello");
  }
)

$(document).ready(
  function(){
    console.log("world");
  }
)

Maybe you binded your functions in the wrong order?
Regards

A: This might not be the problem in your case, but may be worth a try.
I know that when working with asp.net updatePanels, you need to use function pageLoad() { // } instead of $(document).ready( function() { // });
It has it's limitations though as you can only include a single function pageLoad() on a page.
so in your case:
function pageLoad() {
function1();
function2();
};

A: You should wait for the request status (request.readyState == 4) , and then call function2().
if(request.readyState==4)
{
    //alert("Status2 is  "+request.status);
    if (request.status == 200 || request.status == 0)
    {
        response1  = request.responseXML.documentElement;
        nameCategories[i] = response1.getElementsByTagName('language')[0].firstChild.data;
        //alert(nameCategories[i]);
        $('#im'+i).html(nameCategories[i]);
        $('#a'+i).show();
        i++;

     }
   function2();
 }

The Current State of Community Solar in North Carolina
By Allison Eckley | January 18, 2018 | 1
At NCSEA, we are extremely proud of the fact that North Carolina is ranked second in the nation for total installed solar PV capacity. However, for many North Carolina renters or homeowners who don't have the necessary sunny sight conditions or the upfront cash, the prospect of "going solar" seems out of reach.
Thankfully, over the past few years a new model for solar development and ownership has emerged that could make solar more directly accessible to all. Often called "community" or "shared solar," this model of solar development can allow North Carolinians to jointly own a solar facility or subscribe to a portion of a facility through their utility. This model allows individuals, families, and businesses to directly participate in North Carolina's national solar success story regardless of individual site conditions, home ownership status, or income level.
In North Carolina, as in most states, community solar systems are either owned and developed by utilities or directly owned by a group of neighbors or customers. Currently, there are only a few community solar facilities where a group of neighbors have gotten together to form LLCs to develop small solar facilities and then share the revenue generated. Since North Carolina does not allow for third party sales of electricity, the electricity produced by these systems cannot be directly sold to members or investors of these types of systems.
Right now, eleven electric membership cooperatives in North Carolina have taken the lead in developing utility-owned community solar systems for their member customers. Most of these systems allow members to pay a per-panel subscription fee up to a certain amount of panels. In exchange, these customers are given either a fixed or variable credit on their electricity bills for the amount of energy these panels produced. Since North Carolina does not have any laws requiring virtual net metering for cooperatives or investor-owned utilities, these bill credits are nearly always based on the utility's avoided cost of energy as opposed to a credit calculated at the full retail rate of electricity (in other words, the per kWh credits are less than the per kWh price customers pay for their electricity consumption).
House Bill 589 will soon require Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) and Duke Energy Progress (DEP) to offer at least 20 MW of community solar in each of their territories (for a total of 40 MW). Once these programs are operational, DEC and DEP customers in counties with or adjacent to these utility-owned community solar facilities will be able to purchase 200 watt subscriptions. Similar to the community solar offerings of the electric cooperatives, these Duke Energy community solar systems will give subscribers bill credits based on the utilities' avoided cost of energy. On December 19, 2017, the North Carolina Utilities Commission established the rules for the DEC and DEP community solar programs and directed the utilities to file initial program plans by this coming Tuesday, January 23rd.
NCSEA will keep our members informed about the development of these new utility-owned community solar offerings while continuing to advocate for other models and varieties of community/shared solar across the state.
Update: Duke Energy's Community Solar Program - NC Sustainable Energy Association on July 16, 2018 at 7:00 pm
[…] Though North Carolina is ranked second in the nation for total installed solar PV capacity, there are still many NC residents who don't have the necessary sunny sight conditions or face some other obstacle to "going solar." Here at NCSEA, we hope that the community solar model of solar development can make solar more accessible to all North Carolinians. The community solar model of solar development allows North Carolinians to jointly own a solar facility or subscribe to a portion of a facility's output. These systems are either owned by utilities or solar developers or directly owned by a group of neighbors or customers. Read more about the state of community solar in North Carolina here. […]

A Harbor of Hope
How one local church in the U.S. is living up to its name.
July Klein, for Lake Union Herald
When the Benton Harbor community in Michigan, United States, was affected by a tainted water system, Harbor of Hope Seventh-day Adventist Church stepped up to support them.
In 2018, health officials in Benton Harbor began noticing an alarming rise in lead poisoning cases. After performing multiple tests, the city discovered that the water system was tainted due to corrosion in the original lead water pipes.
The city immediately reached out to partner with local agencies — one of which was the Adventist Community Services Center (ACS): Harbor of Hope. Once a month in Benton Harbor residents came to designated places such as the health department, the library, and the Harbor of Hope ASC to receive water filters and information on how to use them. When the filters turned yellow, a replacement was available.
Harbor of Hope immediately enlisted volunteers, partnering with United Way so that anyone, even if they weren't part of the church, could volunteer. Additionally, the state delivered water bottles and they arranged for any leftovers to be picked up.
On October 30, 2021, in just one day, the church and its volunteers handed out 1,500 cases of water. Terri Trecartin, ACS director, remembers how thankful people were. Some told him they were on their last case of water and had been wondering what to do when it ran out.
Thanks to its social initiatives, Harbor of Hope has established itself in the community an important and trusted Adventist presence, local church leaders said. [Photo: Rayno Victor]
Harbor of Hope went above and beyond their required duties, ensuring that everyone who needed water received it, even if they were homebound. "If people couldn't get out and get the water, we… took it to them," Trecartin said.
Over the last three years, the city has realized how challenging it is for residents to figure out which location stocks which supplies, so the city picked a central location — the local high school — where all supplies are distributed. Now all residents go to the high school to get what they need on specified days, and local charities (including Harbor of Hope), assist them.
Harbor of Hope has established itself in the community as an important and trusted Adventist presence. And as ACS director Chelli Ringstaff also noted, one connection leads to another. What began with just water filters distributed at the ACS has grown to 1,500 cases of water delivered in just one day. The city has come to trust Harbor of Hope because they have proved themselves.
But it's not just the city officials that can depend on the Adventist Church. Over the summer of 2021, student literature evangelists worked in the Benton Harbor area. Trecartin noted that every time the colporteurs identified themselves as Adventists, people lit up with recognition, "because they knew where the church was," Trecartin said. The church and its organizations have been so influential in the community that "Adventist" isn't just a name — it's associated with a positive experience.

FARM Rx coordinates 'prescriptions,' CSA shares to give families in need access to fresh produce
Chris Starrs
For the Athens Banner-Herald
Even in non-pandemic times, there's a significant portion of Athens-Clarke County residents that either cope with food insecurity, an inability to access to fresh fruits and vegetables, or both.
Now in its fifth year, the Athens Farmers Market's Food As Real Medicine Rx program (FARM Rx) and its partners have provided a helping hand to needy families by making free fresh fruits and vegetables available to patients with diet-related issues.
"We do believe it's working," said Monica Bledsoe, program coordinator for the Athens Farmers Market. "Our data shows that our six-month medical intervention program has been really successful in helping families come out of food insecurity, teaching them how to extend their dollars, cook for themselves and their families more, eat more vegetables and live healthier lives.
"We're happy to report that for the fifth year we'll be able to grow the program five times with the amount of funding that we have."
The FARM Rx program recruits patients from the Mercy Health Center on Oglethorpe Avenue, and in its first three years, participants received "prescriptions" for healthy food, providing tokens that could be exchanged for Athens Farmers Market offerings.
"Most of our participants we've recruited are through Mercy because they work with such a specific population of individuals who do not have health insurance, and one of the requirements of the program is that you are low income and SNAP-eligible and have a diet-related illness, so Mercy Clinic is a perfect partner for collaboration on this," said Bledsoe.

Since the onset of the pandemic, the program has partnered with Athens-based Collective Harvest to give participants Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares, offering a safer alternative to accessing food.
"Before COVID, participants would get a prescription to get $1 per day per person in their household in tokens to spend at the Athens Farmers Market for local fruits and vegetables," said Bledsoe. "Since COVID, we pivoted our program to operate out of another local business, Collective Harvest, which sources all the same produce from local farmers, so they're still benefiting from that. We've allowed people to get a CSA share to do contactless, drive-through pickups and to also offer delivery for those without transportation.
"With Collective Harvest, we actually saw a 36 percent increase in produce retention because Collective Harvest has cold storage and is open five days a week, and it was so much more convenient for our participants to come pick up. The delivery option was also very helpful."
Bledsoe added that a recent meeting with Mercy Health Clinic provided excellent encouragement as the FARM Rx program enters its fifth year.

"We met with them a few weeks ago and they said that the FARM Rx program has been one of the most successful interventions they've had because so many of their participants aren't having their basic needs met," she said. "Our program has helped people meet those basic needs and teach people skills to advocate for themselves and get the resources they're entitled to, and therefore they're more able to make more behavioral longer-lasting changes in their health and lifestyle."
FARM Rx partners include Envision Athens, both St. Mary's and Piedmont Athens Regional hospitals, SNAP Ed at UGA and the university's Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, College of Public Health and Office of Sustainability. The program also serves a satellite location for Wholesome Wave Georgia, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that has made healthy food available to more than 1 million families in Georgia.
Bledsoe also mentioned UGA's Farmers Market Friends, which has provided financial assistance for FARM Rx while providing produce on campus.
"A group of UGA premed students were interested in the FARM Rx program and wanted to get involved once the pandemic hit," she said. "They volunteered at the market every week and they then turned around and received a grant from the Office of Sustainability to start UGA's very first on-campus market, and all proceeds from the produce they sell from the market is going to the Farm Rx program. We're really happy to partner with them because they're contributing in a really effective way."
The FARM Rx program continues to grow and should be able to aid even more families in the future.
"We're hoping to continue expanding the program," said Bledsoe. "All of our partners are ready and able to accommodate however many participants we have in the program and we can host as many people as we have funding for.
"The Athens Farmers Market has dedicated funding for the program and our partner Wholesome Wave Georgia expanded our funding through our successful 2020 pilot year with the CSA model. In 2020, we were only able to host 16 families and at this point we'll be able to host 100."

Employees are often encouraged to use mobile devices for work purposes, but this increases a company's risk of a cyber security attack. Companies should consider the security needed to safeguard sensitive information. SHEQ Management takes a closer look.
More companies are encouraging employees to use mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, for work. This trend of "bring your own device" (BYOD) allows employees to access company information remotely, which can increase productivity and offer a flexible workplace for the employee.
Similar to desktop computers, mobile devices are at risk of cyber security attacks. However, BYODs present many other challenges.
Dean Workman, in his article for IT News Africa, reports that 82 percent of South African businesses were victims of security breaches in August 2017.
In addition, 76 percent of South African participants in the 2017 Global Enterprise Security Survey, conducted by Fortinet, have increased their IT budget to provide for better cyber security, including security staff, auditing and training.
Simeon Tassev, MD at Galix Networking, identified a few of the main cyber security threats for South African companies in an article for IT News Africa.
Basie von Solms, director at the Centre for Cyber Security at the University of Johannesburg, notes that mobile devices are at greater risk of cyber security attacks, as users can download apps, which can be infected with malware.
"Cellphones can be (and often are) infected, which allows the criminal to gain access to company information. Therefore, companies should have very strict rules, regulations and policies in place regarding the access point to, and information stored on, the device. There is also the risk of the device being stolen," Von Solms says.
He adds that companies can implement management systems to wipe a device remotely, but that this does not always work. The best approach is to ensure that the latest anti-virus protection is used, and that information is separated and encrypted on the device.
Von Solms explains: "Companies should ensure that the employee has the latest anti-virus protection on their phone. An employee can visit a personal website, which is infected, and infect their mobile device. Companies should have comprehensive protection apps and software. Employees should always use the most up-to-date software.
However, policing the security and updating the software (including anti-virus software) on a personal BYOD is difficult. An employee will need to give their consent to the company to monitor and update software. The company will also be responsible for protecting the employee's personal information on the device.
"When an employee owns the device, a company should try to protect their privacy, but that is not always possible. How to best protect the privacy of an employee and protect company information is a grey area. Companies prefer to provide a device and keep the software updated," Von Solms notes.
Company-owned mobile devices are often open for personal use. However, the user has fewer privacy expectations and it is therefore easier for the company to enforce cyber security protection.
Currently, there are no laws or policies in place to protect the personal information on a private BYOD. However, there is the Protection of Personal Information (PoPI) Act, which is expected to be passed this year. The Act aims to ensure that the personal information of customers and employees is not compromised or shared with a third party without their consent.
"The Act will improve the protection of the private information of customers. However, this presents another challenge. If an employee downloads private information of the client onto their mobile device and that information is compromised, the company is liable," Von Solms says. He adds that the PoPI Act could possibly result in the end of BYOD.
of the GDPR, as they can be held liable under this regulation.
"GDPR will come intocyber security attack play this year. EU companies will have one year in which to comply. The GDPR will also affect companies in South Africa. If a company employs a person from the EU, it will be liable under the EU Act, and will need to ensure that it protects this person's personal information," Von Solms notes.
Companies are well advised to start preparing for the PoPI Act now by introducing safety measures to protect company, employee and client information. Organisations that rely heavily on BYODs should also re-evaluate their cyber-security processes to ensure the safety of sensitive information.


On the heels of her hugely successful debut novel, Everything I Never Told You, the second literary effort from Celeste Ng (@pronounced_ing) is called Little Fires Everywhere, but could very well be titled "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" (if not for Mr. Eggers) or simply "Trainwreck Central" (if only that title wouldn't cause so much confusion among train enthusiasts). Call it beautiful, astounding, revelatory, captivating – just don't call it late for the fireworks. And that's because there are plenty of them in this rich tapestry of voices and shared histories.
Through Little Fires Everywhere, we are witness to an author who, with a practiced deftness beyond her years, delves into the intimate pasts of so many men and women, boys and girls, to bring about a cavalcade of experiences that are somehow, in some way far past the reader's imagination, connected.
This novel reminded me so much of Jonathan Franzen's Freedom in all of the good ways – excellent character development, an intriguing plot, a window into the human condition – but with a tighter ending than what some would call Mr. Franzen's opus.
Now this is ironic, for me at least, because of who Ms. Ng's publisher has chosen to be the frontline supporter for Little Fires Everywhere: Jodi Picoult. There's Ms. Picoult's name splashed across all editions of the novel! And why not? Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of something like 254 novels on…you guessed it! The New York Times bestseller list.
But within the publishing world, she's also known as one of two women, along with fellow bestselling author Jennifer Weiner, who stood up to the alleged "literary establishment's shoddy treatment of commercial writers" in the wake of "Freedomgate." Jason Pinter wrote an article about this, "Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner Speak Out on Franzen Feud," in which he interviewed both women.
Apparently, Ms. Picoult and Ms. Weiner got caught in the crossfire after Franzen published Freedom, landed himself on the cover of Time magazine, and had the Times drooling all over him and everything Midwest or Minnesotan.
I won't concern myself with this curfuffle/kerfuffle – or whatever it is – but I will say that Little Fires Everywhere is most definitely Literature, prose fiction, or whatever the France label you want to put on it to make it sound more part of la noblesse or the literati.
