If it wasn't already obvious enough, here at Burley Manor we just can't resist a good G&T (and we know you're the same too!) That's why we are always on the hunt to expand our selection, with 18 gins already on the shelf we are pleased to share our latest find with you all.
Produced in the Andalucia region of Southern Spain, Fresha uses the best sun-kissed ingredients Europe has to offer. It's the world's only premium triple distilled Strawberry Gin, made using traditional pot distilling methods and 7 botanicals throughout the production process. As well as juicy and ripe strawberries from Huelva they use lemon and orange peel from Seville, vanilla and star anise from southern Spain and three other Spanish botanicals which only the chief distiller and his staff know.
You may be thinking this sounds like the dreamiest gin for spring and summer, which of course it is but it also lends itself as part of a warming winter cocktail for all occasions.
Onto the tasting notes: If you were to mix it then we would 100% suggest Fever Tree's Mediterranean or Lemon Grass tonics. Alternatively, choose to have it in one of our cocktails, our master barmen can shake, stir and muddle you together a cocktail you'll just love. When the warmer months finally come around then it tastes heavenly mixed together in a jug with lashing of ice, lemonade and chopped fruit to complement our seasonal al la plancha dishes or summer salads.
Looking for more food pairings? First things first, strawberries either in your gin or on the side taste so delish together. It complements summer salads, BBQ's, citrus desserts and chocolate, how about chocolate covered strawberries – win, win!
Now sitting proudly on our shelf, come and join us for an evening with friends and try our new favourite – Why not choose to stay the night and sample as many as you wish of our ever-growing gin list? Sounds like a plan, see you soon!

As a business owner, you will know the importance of keeping your departments working together in harmony. Sometimes, however, the layout of your office can hinder inter-department communications, especially if your company has recently expanded and you had to fit people in haphazardly. When this happens, it's best just to wipe the slate clean and design a brand new office layout.
While doing this might be good in theory, making it happen in practice may present some unexpected challenges. For example, you may decide to demolish an internal wall to open up your office, or perhaps many fixtures and fittings are outdated and you want to replace them with something new and more stylish. You may also decide to get rid of much of your office furniture and replace that too with newer desks that enable your departments to work more efficiently.
If this sounds like something you would like (or need) to do, then there's something you need to consider. What do you do with all that excess building material and pesky rubbish that you won't need anymore? How do you clear the decks before you bring in the renovators?
Skip hire in Sydney Northern Beaches and North Shore is the obvious solution when you need to dispose of a large quantity of waste material. Skip bins allow you to remove waste materials from your office at your leisure and can hold a large amount of rubbish and material. They are also easy to order, especially if you use a company such as Skips 365, who have a handy online booking form and can deliver skips at a moment's notice.
If you're wondering about how much these skips can hold, then you'll find they come in various sizes, depending on your needs. For single room renovations and small amounts of rubbish, you can order a 2m³ bin or perhaps a 3m³ bin. These are usually adequate for small to moderate office renovations as well. For larger jobs, you can get bins all the way up to 10m³.
Don't forget that if you fill your bin; it's very easy to get a replacement. A quick call can arrange a collection of your full skip, and the delivery of an empty one. So even if you underestimate the amount of space you need, it's not a problem.
Another job of a business owner is to be conscious of the environment and what happens to your excess business waste. When you choose a mini skip hire in Sydney Northern Beaches or North Shore, you can be sure you're doing your bit to stop global warming to save polar bears, for example. When you've filled your skip bin, it then goes to a waste facility where they sort the waste and recycle as much of it as possible. The process is done automatically as part of your skip hire. Sydney North Shore and Northern Beaches are therefore cleaner and greener as a result.


- My first time was a shared dj'ing with a friend. We made a full set of nuevo and non-tango music in Helsinki, as that was something we felt was missing at the time (2007). Soon afterwards we started the first weekly milonga in Tampere, my tango home city, and I was one of the few who had the interest in playing regularly at the time. Traditional tango, too, was included in the sets, little by little. But, i never decided to become a tango dj. It just happened.
- All of these times of the day are good for dancing, all of them have their different energy. I wish I could choose, but i cannot!
- I try to stay open with styles of music, but I tend to like more music with melancholy, groove, intensity, or drama.
- Collecting: music, movies, books, detective stories, tableware design. Sports too, one day, i hope.
- I used to dance swing dances, lindy hop and balboa a bit, and so called Finnish social dancing (Finnish tango included). Argentine tango came along, stayed and eventually took over. I still enjoy swing dancing a lot, but I don't think it will ever take the place of tango.
- I've been active in my local (Finnish) tango scene for a long time, in many ways. I've co-organized milongas, workshops and events, e.g. Tangosauna and World of Tango Festival as most internationally known of them, since almost 10 years.
- Lots, I have to say, and most probably it will keep evolving, as I learn more and grow. First, I was very much into nuevo/non-tango, I think it was easier to approach, especially with my swing dancing background. Then I started liking music like Tipica Victor and early D'Arienzo - with Echague especially, but also Troilo with Fiorentino and D'Agostino. Later, I learned to like more melodic and, let's say, perhaps more subtle music. For some reason, Di Sarli has taken the most time, but now i'm beginning to feel it too.
- It's always a subtle and rather last minute choice, something varying between taste, moment, mood and tradition.
- D'arienzo. Troilo. Di Sarli. Pugliese. Songs don't really matter, but the essence/feel of the music.
- A good mixture of talent, good mood and intensity > La marca del fuego by Biagi.


Automatic question answering is a widely studied problem in natural language processing with applications including entity extraction and information retrieval. Most of the existing works in this area tackles a restricted problem of factoid question answering, while others use answer sentence selection. As of now not much work has been done on text-based question answering, where sufficiently long answers are generated corresponding to each question. In this post I will delineate various deep learning methods and show how these methods can be applied to solve this challenging problem. For experimentation purpose I am going to use Yahoo webscope question answering dataset. In this post I will not include the implementation details related to the project. I am currently working on this project and will update the post as soon as it is complete.
The idea is to predict the answer directly from the question instead of extracting the sentences from documents. Thus, the need to generate the answer from existing sentences can be eliminated. For this purpose, we first find the distributed representation of the questions with the help of word vector models. This is followed by query expansion techniques to find similar questions from the dataset. A vector mapping of questions to answers is used to find relevant answer to the given question (in the vector form). Finally, with the help of sequence-to-sequence learning, textual answers are generated from the mapped vectors.
How much contextual similarity exists among questions?
Does a mapping exists between vectors of questions and answers? How efficient are the deep state of art techniques for this mapping?
One of the key feature of deep learning models that makes learning feasible is the introduction of distributed word vectors. Deep learning models such as Word2vec (Efficient Estimation of Word Representations in Vector Space) and GloVe (GloVe: Global Vectors for Word Representation) learns word vectors by predicting the surrounding words of the given word in a context window. This way words that are contextually similar are brought together (the vectors are updated using back-propagation). In the question answering system a query can be easily expanded by converting the words in the given query to vectors, and considering those words whose vectors lie in close proximity with the words in given query. This leads to an efficient query expansion.
To train a recurrent neural network(RNN) for predicting the next word of a given sequence, the non-linearity function is taken as softmax (which is conditioned over the entire vocabulary) as described in Learning Phrase Representations using RNN Encoder-Decoder for Statistical Machine Translation.
A question answering model is also described in A Neural Conversational Model.
For visulization of results the dimension of each word vector is reduced with the help of PCA. The number of principal components are taken to be 2 so that the final vectors are transformed to 2D. The results of the query expansion task is given in the figure below. The text in red represents the question and the text in blue denotes other questions from dataset.
The results for the question answering task is given by the figure below. The text in red represents the question and the text in blue denotes the answers.
In this post I have given a brief discussion about the question answer model. Soon I will update the post with implementation details and source code.

Read what our "Raving Fans" are saying!
"Thank you for your email following up on our recent purchase. Great customer service, as always. I can wholeheartedly assure you that we are extremely pleased to have received our fixtures as ordered, perfectly and safely packaged and undamaged. Of course we are thrilled with them. Our Old California outdoor fixtures are not only beautiful to look at, they greatly enhance our exterior and have put the finishing touches to our home and garden, in keeping with the Arts and Crafts vision that we have sought to complete - with these beautiful lights we have finally done so. We have a minimalist landscaping of mountain rock steps and pathway, lavender bushes, and drought resistant splashes of orange, yellow, red flora along with an antique iron Japanese lantern and small pruned blue spruce tree which make up our greenery and garden in front of our porch, along with a new Arts and Crafts front door. Our fabulous new light fixtures are masterpieces that set it all off.A month ago we spied a woman walking across the street just to look at our lights. They are very unique, issuing a wonderful, subtle warm amber glow which casts the most fabulous display of shadow and light across our evening yard and driveway. Quite literally, we marvel daily at all our Old California lighting fixtures, exterior and interior, we cannot believe how truly beautiful they are, and feel so privileged to have the luxury of such well hand-crafted Arts and Crafts jewels inside and now out. We are also extremely happy they are made in the USA."
"These sconces came out just as I pictured in my mind's eye. I ordered the black finish with the G415 (upside down tulip) shade to go into my upcoming bathroom remodel. I think they will look great with the black and white tile floor, and simple, white sink I picked out. I wanted to evoke a 1940's feel. The projection will be long enough to reach past a surface-mounted medicine chest. I will also have the electrician put them on a dimmer. I can't wait to get them in."
"We had been stalking these beautiful fixtures for a few years. Now that they are in our home I could not be more pleased. I have spent days on the internet looking for lights that compare with Old California fixtures and have only been frustrated by the lack of quality from the competition. I always come back to Old California when I want quality, functionality, and beauty. We chose the new verde finish with gold iridescent glass. The two fixtures changed our dining room from a good room to a wow room! These were our 6th and 7th fixtures from Old California and we're ordering number 8 today. I no longer look anywhere else for light fixtures and have not been disappointed with the product."
"We put a pair on our front gate, in black. They are beautiful. And exceptionally well made. Sturdy. No rattling or clanking. Delivered in a timely fashion with substantial shipping protection. All good. No complaints. It's heartening to find a company that still values craftsmanship."
"Since 2001 I have purchased a number of lanterns from Old California Lighting and I remain impressed by the quality of the workmanship. This particular lantern is well crafted of solid bronze and will age beautifully in my garden. I cannot fault its appearance or performance."
"Beautiful addition to our craftsman home. Love the signage and style. High quality craftsmanship!"
"I had my eye on this lamp for a few years. I already have a flush ceiling fixture, oak acorn chandelier and a Monterey floor lamp. Each one looks so great, well made and well worth the cost. I was finally able to make this purchase. I am already looking around to see where another lamp or light should go."
"Very pleased with the light fixture. The quality and craftsmanship is is well worth the price. This is the third time I have ordered from the company and will order again when we need another fixture."
"I had them make a three shade fixture using the handmade Cherry Blossom shades. And it looks fantastic with my Chinese antique chest and mirror and vessel sink in my downstairs bathroom. Expensive but worth it for this type of quality."
"Just moved into a house - mid-century modern - and needed to replace and aging rusty light that illuminates the entrance to the house at night. Was looking for something unique/different. This fixture is beautiful - the workmanship shows through in the design and the finish. It is perfectly crafted. Easy to install, plenty of light a looks great when its off too. Interesting that I have now noticed other houses in the neighborhood with lights from Old California."
"We ordered the Arch Mailbox in textured black with wispy white glass, and it looks amazing! The craftsmanship and quality is second to none."
"Bought this with the copper colored finish and green glass. Exquisitely made! Perfect complement for our 1880 farmhouse-can't imagine any other fixture in its place."
"I've been eyeing up this lamp for the front porch for a very long time. It looks even more stunning than in the pictures. The craftsmanship is AMAZING. I can hardly wait to get it installed! Thank you, Old California, for making something real and beautiful... Als ik kan! I believe this was made to be your best."
"I have purchased several fixtures from them. For jobs I have done, all are excellent in workmanship and look great!"
"Thank you so much for your follow up. I love my new lamps and mailbox. Yes, they live up to my expectations and I look forward to ordering more in the future."
"The lighting is beautiful. Just as I pictured. We are very pleased with them. Thank you"
"Hi Adriana, I was actually going to give you a call to say the garden lights are absolutely brilliant! They match perfectly with the house lights I purchased from Old California years ago. I get compliments all the time. As a matter of fact my town keeps asking me to put my house on the list for garden tours! Thanks again for a great product and even better customer service. Merry Christmas!"
"The design and quality fits in our home perfectly. Hats of to Old California"
"Thank you, Adriana. The fixtures are perfect. Now I have 3 perfect globes. Thank you and Old California for your great products, great service, and taking care of the one small problem I had with the chip. Couldn't ask for anything more from a company."
"The lanterns arrived and have been installed. They look terrific and I thank you for your help with the order. Everything went smoothly with the order and we are delighted. Thank you."

NEW YORK, NY (March 23, 2017) -- The American Association of Dental Research (AADR) presented its 2017 Jack Hein Public Service Award to Christian S. Stohler, DMD, DrMedDent, dean of the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and senior vice president of Columbia University Medical Center, for his work promoting and supporting oral health research. The award was given on March 22nd during a ceremony at the 95th IADR/AADR/CADR General Session & Exhibition in San Francisco, California.
Each year, the Jack Hein Public Service Award honors a person who has demonstrated exemplary service to the interests and activities of oral health research. Dr. Stohler, an accomplished academic leader and scholar, was recognized for his leadership of the Friends of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (FNIDC). He was FNIDC president from 2011-2015, until the organization's board voted to integrate FNIDC operations with those of the AADR, a transition Dr. Stohler led in 2016. The transition helped contribute to a single, amplified voice advocating on Capitol Hill for more research in dental and oral health and craniofacial issues.
Dr. Stohler has led the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine since 2013. In the prior decade, he served as dean of the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. As a researcher, he helped lead NIH-funded work exploring the genetics, endocrinology, and neurobiology of the human response to pain, particularly in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), a disease that causes pain in the joints and muscles of the jaw. He was also a member of the first scientific team to demonstrate that a patient's belief in a placebo painkiller can prompt the brain to release endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. He has authored more than 120 articles and chapters and is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including an honorary doctorate from Nippon Dental University in Japan.
Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, among the first university-affiliated dental schools in the United States, was founded in 1916. As part of a world-class medical center, the school trains general dentists and dental specialists in a setting that emphasizes the interconnection between oral health care and overall health for both individuals and communities. The school supports research to advance personalized, evidence-based oral health care and contribute to the professional knowledge base for future leaders in the field. In its commitment to service learning, the school provides dental care to underserved communities of Northern Manhattan and also engages in dental and oral health care capacity-building initiatives abroad. Its faculty has played a leadership role in advancing the inclusion of oral health programs in national health care policy and has developed novel programs to expand oral care locally and in developing countries. For more information, visit dental.columbia.edu.
Columbia University Medical Center provides international leadership in basic, preclinical, and clinical research; medical and health sciences education; and patient care. The medical center trains future leaders and includes the dedicated work of many physicians, scientists, public health professionals, dentists, and nurses at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the Mailman School of Public Health, the College of Dental Medicine, the School of Nursing, the biomedical departments of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and allied research centers and institutions. Columbia University Medical Center is home to the largest medical research enterprise in New York City and State and one of the largest faculty medical practices in the Northeast. The campus that Columbia University Medical Center shares with its hospital partner, NewYork-Presbyterian, is now called the Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Q: Why is Spring MVC inserting an empty object into what should be an empty list? I'm uploading multiple files. This works fine when I actually select files to upload; they get into their List just fine, but when I click Upload without selecting a file, instead of getting an empty List, I get a List with an empty file in it. My validator is checking for the size of this List being 0, so it sneaks past it.
Yes, I can work around it and just check for an empty file, and yes I can disable the upload button when no file is selected, but I want to know why Spring does this and possibly how to stop it from doing it.
Here's the jsp:
<form:form commandName="documentsBean" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" name="submittedFormAction" value="attachDocumentSave"/>
    <input type="file" name="files" id="attachFiles" multiple/>
    <button type="submit">Attach</button>
</form:form>

The bean, nothing fancy here:
public class DocumentsBean
{
    private List<MultipartFile> files;
    public List<MultipartFile> getFiles(){
        return files;
    }
    public void setFiles(List<MultipartFile> files){
        this.files = files;
    }
}

The controller:
@RequestMapping( method = RequestMethod.POST, params = { "submittedFormAction=attachDocumentSave" })
public ModelAndView attachDocumentSave(HttpServletRequest request, @ModelAttribute("documentsBean") DocumentsBean documentsBean, BindingResult errors) throws Exception
{
    // At this point documentsBean.files is an ArrayList<E> with size = 1
}

When I drill down into documentsBean.files, I see elementData[0] is a CommonsMultipartFile, its fileName is an empty string and its size is 0.
What is going on?

A: Here is your solution. The explanation is below.
Add an @InitBinder method that sets the following property. Ideally you would add it to a @ControllerAdvice class, but the controller with the corresponding @RequestMapping method works as well.
@InitBinder
public void init(WebDataBinder binder) {
    binder.setBindEmptyMultipartFiles(false);
}

You'll also need to change your DocumentsBean class like so
private List<MultipartFile> files = Arrays.asList();

So that the field isn't null.
Spring uses a ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor to generate an argument for a @ModelAttribute annotated parameter like yours
@ModelAttribute("documentsBean") DocumentsBean documentsBean

This HandlerMethodArgumentResolver uses the request (and its form parameters) to generate an instance of whatever type your parameter is, by binding parameters to the instance class'
instance fields. If it detects that the request has a content type of multipart/form-data, it will perform special binding.
This binding is done in WebDataBinder#bindMultipart(..). It retrieves all the MultipartFile objects created by the MulitpartResolver. If there is only one, it checks two things.
if (isBindEmptyMultipartFiles() || !value.isEmpty()) {
    mpvs.add(key, value);
}

The first method call

Return[s] whether to bind empty MultipartFile parameters.

and the second checks if the MultipartFile has any body content or not. It won't if you submitted the form without selecting a file (or if you selected an empty file AFAIK).
If either of those expressions resolve to true, then Spring will provide your handler method with this empty MultipartFile holder. Otherwise, it will not bind that field, which is why you want a default value (so it doesn't remain null)
private List<MultipartFile> files = Arrays.asList();

Take a look at the javadoc of WebDataBinder#setBindEmptyMultipartFiles(boolean) which states

Set whether to bind empty MultipartFile parameters. Default is "true".
Turn this off if you want to keep an already bound MultipartFile when
  the user resubmits the form without choosing a different file. Else,
  the already bound MultipartFile will be replaced by an empty
  MultipartFile holder.

This is the property you should set to false in the @InitBinder method shown above.

A Flower Festival in Dublin's inner city.
← Bloom 2015 : Colour, colour, colour!
An imposing nineteenth century granite Church, St Joseph's, in Dublin's inner city is the setting for a Flower Festival in honour of the Spanish saint, St Theresa of Avila, born 500 years ago.
St Joseph's Church seen from Blessington Street Basin park.
This Gothic Revival Church is known for its ornate interior and many shrines but the current display of flowers is spectacular and well worth a visit. The Church is opposite Ireland's main hospital, the Mater Misericordiae (mentioned by Buck Mulligan in Joyce's "Ulysses") and is often a welcome retreat for families of patients.
and the colourful mosaics reflected in the arrangements.
which overlooks the polished aisle and bedecked altar.
What I loved was the individuality of each arrangement, the choice of flowers and colours.
But what I liked most of all was the lack of commercialism – this was the initiative of those living in the area, who raised the funds and made the displays and water them daily; who do it for the sheer joy it brings for them and for their visitors. Entrance is free.
Good to see Dublin's inner city community spirit alive and thriving.
Many thanks and I quite agree – an overwhelming abundance of flowers.
There certainly are wonderful displays where you live.
Beautiful! I've only been to Ireland in the fall. Now I must go in spring!
Thank you! May – June is a lovely time to visit – hope you make it back!
Thank you Christopher – so glad you liked the flowers.

Why is DACH the region you're most bullish on in Europe?
MAX — This region has always had the raw ingredients to build large international tech businesses: A sizable market, highly educated, English speaking, excellent infrastructure, comparatively inexpensive, and appeal to young people around the world. What has changed is that the era of its product light, top-line focused ventures is coming to an end. Over the past few years, the region has built-up an impressive repertoire of tech-first startups that became thought and category leaders on a global scale. This trend is set to continue and has us very excited for what's in store.
What do you disagree with that most others in VC believe?
MAX — Pattern matching. As Phin Barnes once put it, pattern recognition is just another name for intellectual laziness. Most people in VC constantly look for things that match a pre-existing notion, while startups are often about ideas that have never existed before. When we are pattern matching, it stops us from investing in the future. In fast-paced markets, what worked in the past is less and less likely to work in the future.

MAX — If there is one thing the knowledge-worker economy can improve on, it's diversity. I'm well aware that I'm part of the problem, but what I would love everyone to do — founder, employee or VC — is to always consider at least one underrepresented candidate for every role, to embrace their differences, and serve as a mentor to them. Diversity doesn't just happen, we have to choose to act on it.

Breaking barriers: new event in UK festival calendar

A new festival opens this weekend, featuring some of the biggest names in the integrated music scene, uniting learning disabled and non-learning disabled musicians.
The Rock House Festival in Brighton, promoted by learning disability-led arts charity Carousel, is expected to attract a crowd of 150-200 people.
The line-up includes Zombie Crash – the groundbreaking metal band that I've written about in the past (I was impressed back then by their "shouty, sweary, noisy chaos, big stage personas, a self-proclaimed kick-ass attitude, loud drums, screeching guitars and songs about fighting and sex"…who wouldn't be?).

Other names at the new festival, which takes place at music venue The Green Door Store, include 2Decks, The Daniel Wakeford Experience,(who some might recognise from the Channel 4 show The Undateables). Fellow performers include prince vaseline and Sauna Youth. The festival's wide ranging musical genres include rock, punk, blues, soul, jazz and rock/rap crossover.

The inaugural event has been sparked by the successful monthly Rock House nights at music venue The Green Door Store.
For the last eight years, the accessible Rock House nights have attracted crowds of up to 100 and feature one non-learning disabled band, alongside up to five learning disabled bands.
Musician Tom Cook and promoter Richard Phoenix, who runs community interest company Constant Flux, launched the monthly band nights eight years as a showcase for the learning disabled musicians they worked with.
It's hoped the new festival will become an annual fixture in the UK summer festival scene.
* Festival venue The Green Door Store has wheelchair access and wheelchair accessible toilets. For ticket information, see the festival website.

Pioneering performers: festival season for inclusive dance studio
July 13, 2017 Saba Salman

Step Change Studios is the first dedicated pan-disability inclusive Latin and Ballroom dance class in London.
On Saturday, the Westminster-based school kicks off one of many summer season showcases at the Liberty festival at the Olympic Park .
Forthcoming summer appearances include performances and workshops at the Together Fest at the Arts Depot in North London on July 22. The school will also put on an inclusive dance demo at the Disability Sports Coach Summer Festival in West London on July 28.
The pioneering project's last class before the summer break is on Saturday, and founder Rashmi Becker stresses there are no restrictions on ability, in terms of who can join in.
Step Change, which is based at the Abbey Centre and launched earlier this, is open to all. As Rashmi, a disability advocate as well as a dance specialist, explains: "We have people with learning disabilities, autism, wheelchair users with different physical and neurological conditions such as MS and cerebral palsy, people with visual impairments, young and older people…There are simple things I do to enable people to join in – for example I meet people with visual impairments at the station and support them to the dance space".
Adrienne Armorer, for example, gave up her beloved salsa 10 years ago after developing the physically debilitating condition multiple sclerosis (MS). But she has taken up dancing again through Step Change, after hearing about the project through her local MS society.
Here's how Adrienne, who details her experience in full on this blog, described her first Step Change class: "Wow – a 50:50 mix of wheelchair dancers and those without. Cool! A little warm-up and then we were off. I'm not a regular wheelchair user and get fatigued quite easily, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up. It was fine. Nuno and Rashmi [the instructors] are on hand to help and answer any questions. I also needed to ask one of the other wheelchair dancers how he was managing to turn his chair using just one hand. The hour flew by. What a great afternoon. We left on a high."

Q: Retrieve colour of diagram from sparx systems enterprise architect
Consider a below Image that is drawn in sparx systems enterprise architect tool is there any way to get the colour of each element like: blue, yellow. I know I cant get from tagged value because I have not mentioned.

A: Check EA.DiagramObject.Style
From the help file:

The Style attribute is used for setting the appearance of a DiagramObject; it is set with a string value in the format:
BCol=n;BFol=n;LCol=n;LWth=n;
where:
· BCol = Background Color
· BFol = Font Color
· LCol = Line Color
· LWth = Line Width
The color value is a decimal representation of the hex RGB value, where Red=FF, Green=FF00 and Blue=FF0000
DiagObj.Style = "BCol=35723;BFol=9342520;LCol=9342520;LWth=1;"
The following code snippet shows how you might change the style settings for all of the objects in the current diagram, in this case changing everything to red:
     For Each aDiagObj In aDiag.DiagramObjects

       aDiagObj.Style = "BCol=255;BFol=9342520;LCol=9342520;LWth=1;"

       aDiagObj.Update

       aRepos.ReloadDiagram aDiagObj.DiagramID

More patchwork sampling, with some of the pattern areas expanded and an unfortunate yellow stripe.
Well, it might have worked. Off the loom, I am now getting the sort of larger scale effect which I like, with squares gradually shifting from one colour to another.
While close up there is some interesting detail in the pattern (plus you can shut out the yellow).
I'm preparing for festive Christmas markets in Dundee and Fife.
Very interesting! I like the way the colors in the blocks fade in and out.
I love the patchwork, not the yellow stripe but the rest of it with the look of interwoven stripes of graduated pattern.

Body Shaming: Damned if you're small & damned if you're big (& why people think it&#
Body commentary is relentless. If it's not external (coming from others) then it's internal (coming from your inner voice). But in today's body-shaming world, you're damned if you are and also damned if you aren't. There is no perfect. And everyone's got something to say. But what is body shaming? And why have we become so accustomed to talking about each other's bodies?
Body-shaming is any commentary that makes you have to respond defensively about your body:
If you're naturally thin, you may feel you have to apologize for it. You feel you have to prove to people that you're healthy and that you eat, because others will decide that you must not have healthy food intake patterns. In today's world with high prevalence of eating disorders and distorted body image, there's high alert about folks with a slender build. Many people do struggle with disordered eating; this is a real and serious matter. And then there are many others also err on the side of being thin, small, or petite. If you're thin, you may hear and have to respond to comments like: "I wish I could eat what you eat and look like that!" or "Do you work out all the time? You are so... tiny!" It's awkward, and invasive, to have to respond to this line of comment and inquiry.
If you naturally err on the side of being overweight, you may feel shame from people's assumptions about you. Carry a few or more extra pounds, and our society puts unconscious labels on you such as "must not care about yourself" or "doesn't have enough self-restraint." Again, these assumptions are untrue and shaming. You may wonder if its possible to feel capable, confident, and attractive in your own skin. You may have had experiences in your life where others close to you have tried to gently intervene, suggesting different exercise routines or asking about whether you've thought about making changes to your diet or self-care. Others think they are doing you a service, but you are only left wondering how you can ever feel happy with exactly who you are.
And.... then there's everything in between. No matter what your body type is, we are all subject to the commentary. How many times have you heard, "you look great! have you lost a little weight?" or, "you look different... why?" as someone scans you up and down. This type of exchange (which becomes an exchange only because now you have to respond to it!) has become a norm in our culture.
...But why is it a norm?
There is truly no perfect in a highly critical and judgmental society like ours. Because you can't win. Reality TV, celebrities, and magazines create a forum for ever-changing physical standards, while also opening the door for constant critique. While flipping through a celebrity magazine, we think with relief: "she doesn't look that great in a bathing suit" or "ugh, why can't I look that good in a bathing suit?"
When a "plus-sized" model (read: there should be no classification... just MODELS) graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2016, the response and the backlash was swift. The cover model heard it all, ranging from applause at making bigger women feel they could be beautiful, too, to disgraceful disgust. We live in a society the choice for a bigger woman for such a prominent magazine cover was astonishing: this fact in and of itself makes it evident we have immense progress to make as a society on body acceptance in general. If we accepted other's bodies, this would not be a topic of conversation at all. Of course, the purpose of the swimsuit edition is to create stir about the body of the model on the cover, but again, this is an example of a practice that norms body commentary and shaming.
Social media also invites these same parallel thought processes. Most of our social media revolves around sharing and consuming photos. Our natural inclination as humans is to scan everything we see for problems -- its a hereditary survival instinct. When we view pictures one of the first things our mind does is assess the physical constitution of those we see. 'Are they thin? Are they fat? Did they gain weight? Lose weight? Happy? What do we think about that? Is it a problem?'
Whether we know it or not, we are all constantly running an internal commentary about the physiques of others. This is the factor that then completely norms doing this outwardly with our peers, friends, and family. We're taking the internal thought process and making it external. Case in point: when I was pregnant I heard it all:
- "you're so tiny! how cute!"
- "you're so big, you don't even look like yourself, you poor thing!"
- "you're one of those women you can't tell is pregnant from behind!" and even,
- "omg, haha, your butt got huge!"
It made me feel so self conscious to have to respond that I vowed I would never do it to another pregnant woman. Ever. And then, lo and behold, the words came out of my mouth, too, the minute my eyes rested on a friend's belly "omg you're so little!" or "you look great pregnant!" Why!? Lauren, why!? I literally would be smacking my head afterward. The fact of the matter is, we live in a world where it's so incredibly normal to comment on each other's bodies that it can be hard to catch yourself before you do.
Another important part of why we do this, too, is that we are trying to make sense of ourselves as we relate to what we see. It has a lot to do with our inner dialogue; that is, our own unconscious inner insecurities and judgments. This is also quite normal and also quite unavoidable. If you're thin/fat/larger/smaller, does that mean that I am not as thin/fat/larger/smaller? I need to figure out how I feel about that. Or This doesn't fit a mold I'm comfortable with, so should I be concerned about the health/wellness of this person based on what I see?
... If body-shaming and commentary is a norm, how do I respond?
I hope and pray for the day when everyone respects and allows everyone else to be different. Without having to answer for it. Everything in life exists along a natural continuum, and bodies are no different, ranging from small to large and absolutely every size and shape in between. It would be wonderful to be able to accept and get used to that without having to try to constantly make sense of it or require it to fit an abstract mold.
That being said I want to be clear: real, genuine concern about someone is hugely important and can be life saving. If you have real and founded concerns about a friend or family member's health, please seek professional insight and guidance about how to intervene or address it.
In the meantime, if you're going about your day and you suddenly have to fend off body commentary, your best response is simply: "thank you" and changing the subject, or "thank you for your concern. I'm quite happy with how I am, but I do appreciate your thoughts."
Try to stay conscious of your own role in this for others (as evidenced above, I'm trying, too!) As tempting as it is to engage in this norm, practice turning the conversation to anything other than someone's body. Instead of telling a little girl she's so pretty, tell her she's smart. Instead of telling a friend they look great, ask them what they did this weekend. We have so many other things to talk about today other than our bodies. We can be part of the change away from body commentary and shaming. The result? More acceptance of yourself + others = more happiness and contentment. And that's a beautiful thing!

I just loved Tracey's blog post this week, which listed many of New York's sewing supplies stores, and thought it would be equally great to list art supply stores in Manhattan as well.
Even if you're not an artist, undoubtedly whatever you make might need a splash of color at some point, some varnish, a brush to apply everything with, or a sketchbook to work out your ideas.

Q: using jquery mousemove and setTimeout and clearTimeout to reveal/hide a menu I pasted some code below of what seems to be a common approach to reveal a menu on mousemove. It seems that as the mouse continues to move, the duration of the timeout increases. What's up with that? Is there a reason why the cleartimeout would not be working?
var timer;
    $(document).mousemove(function() {
        if (timer) {
            clearTimeout(timer);
            timer = 0;
        }

        $('.navi a, a.left, a.right').animate({top:'0px'},'fast');
        timer = setTimeout(function() {
           $('.navi a, a.left, a.right').animate({top:'50px'},'fast');
        }, 1000)
    });

A: problem is, you're starting the animation to move up over and over again on each mousemove event. due to jquery's animation queuing, every call to animate() on the same object will get queued, so your your final animate() call in the delayed function (moving the element down again) has to wait until all 'up' animations are done.

Q: Why is my Button hidden when using CollapsingToolbar I have a simple Activity with a CollapsingToolbar. Let me show you what I have 1st and then explain what the problem is!

When the toolbar is collapsed (left) vs when it is expanded (right)

As you can see, the Search button doesn't show when the toolbar is expanded. How can I fix this?

activity_search.xml :

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">

            <ImageView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"/>

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:layout_width="match_parent"

                app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
                app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>

        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <include
        layout="@layout/content_search" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

content_search.xml

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@id/btSearch"
        android:layout_below="@id/ll"/>
</RelativeLayout>

I have tried searching for this question, but could'nt find anything at all!

A: Try modifying your content_search.xml thus:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/view_margin"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/etIngredients"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/btAdd"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_add"/>
</LinearLayout>

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/rvIngredients"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btSearch"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="@string/search"/>
</LinearLayout>

And if you don't need to have your search button right at the bottom of the screen, move it above the RecyclerView.

A: Please check your content_search.xml
what is id android:layout_below="@id/ll"??
i think this is id of linear layout, please add this and run hope it will help you.

A: It is hidden due to your collapsable toolbar. When you say match_parent it takes height excluding the height of expanded toolbar. All you need to do is add bottom_margin of expended toolbar height.
Hope it will help you :)

› Taxpayer win in Court of Appeal re 'just and reasonable
Taxpayer win in Court of Appeal re 'just and reasonable' apportionment
Taxpayer win in Court of Appeal re 'just and reasonable
CA judgment finds that time apportionment is not always 'just and reasonable' for allocation of profits in a straddle period.
Claire Angell
Partner, Head of Energy Tax
Total E&P North Sea UK Limited and Total Oil UK Limited were subject to the UK ring fence corporation tax regime for upstream oil and gas companies when the supplementary charge to corporation tax was increased from 20 percent to 32 percent from 24 March 2011. For accounting periods straddling this date, taxable profits should be allocated on a pro-rata basis unless time apportionment could result in an outcome that would work 'unjustly' or 'unreasonably', in which case a taxpayer could elect for an alternative just and reasonable apportionment. In their corporation tax returns for the year ended 31 December 2011, the two companies elected for an alternative basis of apportionment, based on the actual income and expenditure incurred on the basis that there were significant tax losses in the latter part of the year as a result of operational shut-ins at the production sites.
The taxpayers' view was that the time apportionment of profits between the periods up to and after the rate change was not just and reasonable and a more just and reasonable method, namely allocating income and expenses on an actual basis, should be applied.
HMRC rejected the use of the alternative basis of apportionment, which was appealed by the taxpayers at the First-tier Tribunal (FTT). The FTT allowed the taxpayers' appeals, although this was subsequently reversed by the Upper Tribunal in favour of HMRC, taking the view that the taxpayers' approach did not give rise to a just and reasonable result.
The Court of Appeal, however, agreed with the taxpayers' position, noting that the provisions allow all taxpayers to apply a different method of apportioning profits where they are not smoothly spread throughout the year and who could be disadvantaged by a change in tax rate. They found that HMRC's position effectively resulted in the retrospective taxation of profits. The taxpayers in the case had a strong fact pattern that supported the position, having suffered from operational challenges in the period which distorted the timing of income and expenditure.
The Court also agreed that the making of claims for capital allowances in the period in which expenditure was incurred was just and reasonable.
This case will be of interest to many taxpayers who, for one reason or another, are required to allocate taxable profits in straddle periods. While the usual method is to use time apportionment of profits, the Court of Appeal has acknowledged that the taxpayer was entitled to use an alternative method, where it could show that the time apportionment method was unfair and unjust and that its revised methodology was fair and just.
Where time apportionment does not give a just and reasonable outcome, taxpayers may wish to consider alternative, more suitable methods in light of the Court of Appeal's reasoning.

When, in the year 1904, one Shri Somasundara Sastry, a visionary, founded a school for girls in Kanchipuram little would he have realised that one day his school, like the banyan tree, would send new educational roots from its branches so that they would develop into strong trunks. It was, in a way, in keeping with the character of the town, Kanchipuram, that a school was founded here. But to found a school for girls in 1904, now, in retrospect, seems an act of courage, an act, animated by hope that favoured intellect over established prejudices and an act which also embellished the truth in Winston Churchill's statement that a man is as big as his decisions. History, as Carlyle said, is the essence of innumerable biographies and the history of the growth of the original SSKV School from a single entity to five schools and a college today is actually the biographies of several people who strove to sustain the small beginning of 1904. The stability of public favour has been prevailing upon the SSKV brand since the beginning because successive office bearers of the Conjeevaram Hindu Educational Society (under whose aegis all the institutions are run) have been as committed as they have been assiduous in their task of institution building. Of these, mention may be made of Shri C R Pattabhi Raman, the son of Sir Sri C P Ramaswami Aiyar, the illustrious Dewan of the erstwhile princely State of Travancore. Mr. A. R. Jagannathan the son-in-law of Shri C R Pattabhi Raman and Dr. Vengudi Ramamurthy. It is only proper that now the President of the Governing Body is Dr. Nanditha Krishna, the great grand daughter of Sir Sri C P Ramaswami Aiyar and who is a well-known personality in Chennai. Under her guidance combined with the industry of Dr. C.K. Raman, the Secretary and the benign influence of Mrs. Umadevi, Joint Secretary, a giant step was taken in 2007 when a College exclusively for women was founded thereby creating an important signpost in the history of SSKV institutions.
Goals, as everybody knows, can be short term and long term. A long term goal includes many short term goals. Our long term goal is to grow into one of the finest educational institutions in Tamil Nadu where girls while they acquire knowledge will also grow into complete women; where shall prevail truth, honesty, uprightness, love and goodness. Our first task in terms of small goals is to strengthen the academic competence of our faculty. They are young and the college is just seven years old. We are also aware that we need to develop in students knowledge and understanding; cognitive, transferable and practical skills. What is, perhaps, more important, is the creation of proper context and ambience for learning where meaningful education will take place. Therefore, our catchword is "freedom." The entire academic atmosphere in SSKV College is characterized by freedom, freedom not unbridled but controlled by responsibility. We strongly believe that no meaningful education, particularly, of girls will take place where oppression and tyranny rule. This spirit of freedom is well illustrated in our College Song :
Oh, we the girls of SSKV
a glorious college we
We belong to SSKV
a College proud and free	(Chorus)
1. Come on all you young scholars
And join us one and all
We're the jolliest girls of SSKV
the toast of Kanchipuram
Oh, we the girls of SSKV	(Chorus)
2. We gather here in college
from places far and near
We file into our classes
with eagerness and cheer
As we listen to our teachers
our problems disappear
And as we work diligently
we've no concern or fear
3. It's fun to be in college
the cream of students we
we love to dance and sing
at moments we are free
And when we are off to study
we're hives of industry
So that altogether
we are a fine community
The aim of the College is to offer to women education that will transform them into liberal minded human beings who shall remain at the cutting edge of knowledge; who shall endeavour to free their minds of bigotry and obstinacy; who shall develop a disinterested attitude where emotions are involved; who shall be able to distinguish between right and wrong without taking recourse to either of the two extremes of relationism and absolutism, and who, in all these endeavours, shall not forget the abiding grace of God who rules the world.

About 15 million people were reported to be self-employed in 2015. Although the self-employment rates are still higher for men, women are holding their own. In fact, numerous studies have shown that the number of women business owners and entrepreneurs is growing rapidly. If that is true, it naturally follows that women are having more success at owning their own businesses. So, what are some of the reasons why women owned businesses are so successful?
One of the reasons women are successful in business is because they research whatever they have questions about.
Think about that traditional story about asking for directions. According to lore, if a woman is lost, she will ask for directions and get there quicker.
In a business setting this example also holds true.
According to Forbes, one in twenty men feels they lack certain technical knowledge for their jobs. Compare this figure to only one in five women who feel the same. But the difference is that women don't let this slow them down.
If a woman has a question, she will do research or collaborate with others to get the answers she needs. Having trouble figuring out problems on her own doesn't stop her from asking for help until she gets results.
Women are persistent and diligent in their business dealings. But, women can also be perfectionists. Nevertheless, they still do whatever it takes to get the answers they need when questions arise.
Freelance blogger Christine Renee agrees.
Most people know that women tend to show their emotions sooner than men do. There are books written about the subject. In addition, for many years women were the nurturers and caregivers of the home. Some have said the woman is the heart of the home. But what does this have to do with business success?
Females build relationships and form connections faster with people. This can help them be more successful as business owners. Women aren't afraid to talk and network with friends, former teachers, and other professionals. They create support networks where men are more likely to go it alone.
"Women do have a tendency to be more collaborative, which is always a benefit, especially when you business is in its infancy and you need all the advice and support you can get from fellow entrepreneurs," said Melissa Hoffman.
Along those same lines, women are good communicators, which leads to relationships and connections more quickly. Women are more open to discussion and will talk more than men do.
Men tend to bottle up their ideas or feelings which can make small problems bigger. Women, on the other hand, tend to share not only ideas and thoughts but also their feelings about an issue. They use their skills in communication to build relationships and trust in others, which is important if they wish to succeed in their business.
Women also tend to be better at customer service because of their empathetic nature.
It has long been known that women are great multitaskers, especially if they work and have a family. Women can handle a lot of things simultaneously, and many do.
Some women have a spouse, kids, pets, and at least one outside job. Possessing the quality of being good at multitasking aids women in their business dealings, especially if they have sole ownership in a business.
When a woman owns a business on her own she must be organized and wear many hats and know how to do many different jobs. Often she is the accounts receivable clerk, does payroll, is the human resources officer, and the advertising expert. Being hardwired to juggle many different roles enables women to have continued success in their businesses.
Women can be more patient than men in the workplace. Men are a little more fight or flight. Conversely, rather than taking action right now, women will sometimes take a wait and see approach to a problem or issue.
This can help them avoid making rash decisions that may be incorrect and cost them money, time, and grief in their businesses. When you are the boss, it's true that sometimes you have to take immediate action on an issue. But other times, small steps are the answer to solving the bigger problem and it can take patience to achieve the desired result.
It's been said that women possess more intuition than men do. Some people may disagree about this subject. While there are men who are more intuitive than others, women more often pick up on facial expressions or vocal changes of others than men. Also, because women key in on emotions more than men do, they may pick up signals other would overlook. For example, if someone is lying to them, a woman may get a gut feeling that something isn't quite right. This can be a valuable tool as a female business owner in order to prevent being deceived by others.
Along those lines, a woman's intuition also leads to her being a planner.
"I think women owned businesses see success because working women know they have many obstacles to overcome and have to think ten steps ahead, plus account for contingencies, to make their goals happen," said freelance editor, Megan Harris.
Because women are not afraid to ask questions and are not usually over confident, they tend to give credit to others when it is due, just as I've done in this article. This is another trait that helps women build their relationships and networks in order to success and triumph in their businesses. Successful women are't trying to compete with each other, but instead are working to build each other up so everyone can succeed.
"Women have many obstacles to overcome and we need to continue to encourage each other as fellow entrepreneurs," Caitlyn Andrews said.


If learning spellings always ends in tears and tantrums, trying another technique could help make it a less stressful process. We've rounded up the best methods to try.
Unless you're in a small and very lucky minority, helping your child learn their spellings probably drives you to the brink of insanity – week after week after week. It can be a thankless task, and even more so when, despite all their practice, your child still only manages to get four out of 10.
Primary schools often have their own preferred strategy for learning spellings, but there's no guarantee that that particular method will work for your child. Fortunately, there are other ways of practising that might suit them better and help them get full marks every week.
Look, say, cover, write, check is the method used to practise spellings in most primary schools. It works because it's a multi-sensory approach, using sight, sound and touch: research shows that the more senses a child involves in their learning, the better the outcome.
Say it aloud. Say the word both as you would usually say it, and then again enunciating any silent letters, e.g. Wed – nes – day.
Write the word down from memory.
Check your answer letter by letter. If you've got it wrong, write it out again correctly.
Children are usually encouraged to repeat this once a day.
Download our free Look, Cover, Write and Check free blank word list template to put this technique into practice at home.
The benefit of writing sentences is that it doesn't just help children learn how to spell the word, but it also reinforces the meaning and how to use it in context. Teachers sometimes make the task more challenging by asking children to write a compound or complex sentence.
This is the method used to test spelling knowledge in both the KS1 and KS2 SATs.
Often, children will be given a list of words that are connected by a certain rule, such as 'I before E except after C.' Making sure your child knows the rule can take a lot of the effort out of learning what might look like difficult spellings, as the pattern can be applied to most or all of the words. It is, however, important that they know any exceptions to the rule to avoid slipping up.
This may seem like an old-fashioned way of learning spellings, where the word is simply read aloud and your child has to write it down. But while it may not be the most revolutionary or exciting technique, it works well for children who are auditory learners.
• Saying the whole word aloud and getting your child to write it down.
• Spelling the word out letter by letter, with your child writing each letter as you say it.
You can make the task more engaging by letting your child record themselves saying the words aloud using your phone or tablet; they can then play the recording back and write the word down.
However, mnemonics can take many forms: a visual learner, for instance, might draw a picture that helps them remember how to spell the word.
Here, your child copies out the words that they need to learn using their best cursive handwriting. They then place a sheet of tracing paper over the top and trace the words they've written. This helps your child build a muscle memory of the word, and can be a useful tactic for kinaesthetic learners who learn best when they're doing something physical.
If your child is the competitive type, getting them to practise their spellings against the clock might appeal. This is as simple as it sounds: you read out the word and get your child to either write it down or spell it out aloud, and see if they can do it a bit faster each day.
It's a useful task if your child is preparing for a spelling bee or similar timed spelling competition, but make sure that you check that they're spelling the words correctly, especially if they're spelling them out loud.
These take a bit more preparation, but word puzzles such as crosswords, wordsearches, anagrams and Hangman are great ways to make spelling that little bit more fun. These encourage children to think carefully about the order of letters in a word. You'll find lots of wordsearch and crossword makers like Puzzle-Maker online.

Q: Non-Data Descriptor That Takes an Optional Arguement I want to have a class which has several properties which represent time-series of data. E.g.
import datetime

def get_assigned_to(title, date=None):
    if date is None:
        date = dt.date.today()
    ...

class Todo(object):

    def __init__(self, title):
        self.title = title
        self._assigned_to = get_assigned_to

    @special_property
    def assigned_to(self, date=None):
        return self._assigned_to(self._title, date)

Ideally I'd then be able to do something like
>>> world_domination = Todo("Take over world")
>>> world_domination.assigned_to
'Alice'
>>> world_domination.assigned_to(datetime.date(2020, 1, 1))
'Bob'

Or even
>>> world_domination.assigned_to[date]

or
>>> world_domination.assigned_to.on(date)

Is there a way to write a descriptor that takes an optional argument like that? It doesn't need to be able set the property. Just get it.
