Biografia
Baldacci compì ancora giovanissimo il suo primo viaggio in Montenegro nel 1885; le spedizioni in terra balcanica, finalizzate principalmente allo studio della botanica, continuarono anche durante gli anni universitari trascorsi presso la facoltà di Veterinaria dell'Università di Bologna. Dopo la laurea in Zooiatria, conseguita nel 1891, e la libera docenza in Botanica e in Geografia, ottenute presso l'Università di Bologna rispettivamente nel 1889 e nel 1901, divenne assistente presso l'Istituto botanico, dove rimase fino al 1902, quando si trasferì a Roma per insegnare Geografia politica e coloniale presso la Scuola diplomatico-coloniale annessa all'Università.

Durante gli anni passati nella capitale ebbe intense frequentazioni, oltre che con funzionari ministeriali e ambienti politici romani, anche con alcuni artisti ed intellettuali, quali Gabriele D'Annunzio, i pittori Giulio Aristide Sartorio e Francesco Paolo Michetti, il pittore e scultore Costantino Barbella.
Fu tra i promotori dell'inserimento in Italia dell'Eucalyptus, proveniente dall'area australe, poi ampiamente usato per la bonifica delle palude pontine e in Sardegna.

Nel frattempo la Società Geografica Italiana, che già nel 1891 aveva affidato a Baldacci l'incarico per la redazione di articoli da pubblicare sul proprio Bollettino, dal 1894 (anno in cui egli divenne membro ordinario) al 1904 sovvenzionò le sue spedizioni scientifiche mediante sussidi economici. Il bilancio dei viaggi fu di circa centomila piante raccolte, in parte di specie e varietà allora sconosciute, e di numerosissimi articoli pubblicati su riviste quali Malpighia, Nuovo Giornale Botanico Italiano, Oesterreichische Botanische Zeitschrift (Vienna), Bulletin de l'Herbier Boissier (Ginevra).
Le spedizioni in area balcanica non ebbero tuttavia un carattere esclusivamente scientifico, essendo collegate con l'attività di promozione degli interessi nazionali italiani in quell'area e con la ricerca di nuove opportunità per instaurare rapporti commerciali tra l'Italia ed il Montenegro. Baldacci stesso intraprese con i fratelli Giovanni e Luigi, tra i primi anni del sec. XX e il primo conflitto mondiale, alcune iniziative imprenditoriali, finanziarie e commerciali.

Morì a Bologna il 31 luglio 1950 e venne sepolto nel Cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna

Gli incarichi istituzionali
Tra il 1905 e il 1908 su incarico del Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione svolse alcuni studi a carattere etnografico e politico-sociale in Calabria (in particolare lo studio sulla questione silana pubblicato con il titolo Per la Sila, 1906), Molise e Sicilia, dove nel 1907 ottenne la nomina a vice-direttore dell'Orto botanico e giardino coloniale di Palermo, ruolo tuttavia quasi solamente nominale, poiché la sua presenza in sede fu di fatto sempre saltuaria.

Nel frattempo infatti aveva instaurato rapporti di collaborazione con il Ministero dell'Interno, in particolare con la Direzione generale di Pubblica Sicurezza per servizi straordinari nel Montenegro, di natura riservata, che lo portarono a svolgere in area balcanica missioni finalizzate all'analisi della situazione politica ed economica locale, alla costruzione di una rete di informatori locali e allo svolgimento di incontri a carattere politico-diplomatico.

Fra il 1916 e il 1920 Baldacci ricoprì numerosi incarichi di prestigio e responsabilità: fu consulente civile della Ia Divisione navale e coordinatore degli informatori speciali a Valona per conto del Ministero della Marina (1916-1917), ispettore generale del Lloyd Triestino sulla piazza di Roma, direttore interinale dell'Agenzia generale di Roma, dirigente del Servizio di Pubblicità nel Regno per il medesimo Lloyd (1919-1920), capogruppo della Sezione Coloniale presso l'Ufficio storiografico della mobilitazione (1918). Partecipò al movimento fiumano e tra il 1921 e il 1922 stabilì intensi e frequenti contatti con Gabriele D'Annunzio e personaggi a lui vicini, allo scopo di organizzare un'azione militare sulle coste del Montenegro per ottenere l'indipendenza del paese, che nel 1918 fu unito al Regno dei Serbi, Croati e Sloveni.

L'attività divulgativa
Baldacci si fece promotore del movimento per l'indipendenza del Montenegro presso le più alte cariche dello stato, anche in qualità di presidente del Comitato italiano per l'indipendenza del Montenegro, carica che ricoprì nel 1922. Egli si dedicò quasi esclusivamente alla causa montenegrina almeno fino al 1925, attraverso una vasta campagna di conferenze, articoli su riviste (principalmente Adriatico nostro, diretta da Ercole Arturo Marescotti) e quotidiani a diffusione nazionale, spettacoli ed iniziative per la raccolta di fondi, partecipando anche all'organizzazione per la produzione e diffusione del film Non c'è resurrezione senza morte (1922).

Dal 1925 Baldacci si occupò soprattutto dell'Albania, non solo con la produzione autonoma di studi e pubblicazioni ma, a partire dal 1928, anche attraverso collaborazioni di ambito scientifico e politico con alcuni istituti locali: dal 1931 al 1939 (anno in cui l'Albania fu unita alla corona italiana) fu console generale onorario d'Albania in Bologna; dal 1942 fece parte del Consiglio direttivo del Centro studi Albania presso l'Accademia d'Italia; divenne membro dell'Istituto di studi albanesi di Tirana e consulente culturale della Luogotenenza generale in Albania fino al 1943, quando l'Albania fu occupata dalle truppe tedesche.

Nel dopoguerra Baldacci continuò ad interessarsi alle questioni politiche italiane ed internazionali, allargando il proprio ambito di studio ai paesi dell'Europa settentrionale(Svezia, Groenlandia, Islanda), soprattutto sotto l'aspetto geologico, economico, culturale e del sistema dell'istruzione.

Vita privata
Il 7 marzo 1896 si unì in matrimonio con Carola (detta "Carolina") Morelli, dalla quale ebbe in seguito un'unica figlia, Laura.

Gli scritti
Rimangono di lui circa 250 pubblicazioni, tra articoli apparsi in riviste e opere in volumi (tra cui si ricordano le opere principali: Itinerari albanesi, Roma, Società Geografica Italiana, 1917; L'Albania, Roma, Istituto per l'Europa Orientale, 1929; Scritti Adriatici I, Bologna, Compositori, 1943), le bozze dell'opera inedita «Leonardo da Vinci e il mondo delle piante», il ricchissimo archivio e la biblioteca personali, conservati presso la Biblioteca Comunale dell'Archiginnasio di Bologna, una delle più vaste acquisizioni della biblioteca del recente passato e naturalmente le collezioni di piante conservate in musei italiani e stranieri.

Kazakhstan's Kuryk port to become key facility for New Silk Road
Kazakhstan's Kuryk port will become one of the key facilities of the transport and logistics complex of the New Silk Road, the director of DARYN Partners Nurzhan Marabaev told Trend.
"Among the multimodal overland container transport routes connecting East Asia with Europe, Iran and Turkey, the way through Kazakhstan is the most efficient in terms of time and cost. Kuryk port is a Kazakh industrial complex on the shore of the Caspian Sea, which will include both logistics and production facilities, increasing Kazakhstan's transit potential," Marabayev said.
He added that the complex has an advantageous strategic position at the intersection of developing land trade corridors between East and West ( within One Belt, One Road initiative) and North and South (between Iran, India, Russia).
"Kuryk port is intended to carry out two big missions – to increase Kazakhstan's trade with the Caspian countries and increase the transit potential of the Caspian region. The development of the port has given a powerful impetus to the development of the transit and transport potential of the development of cooperation between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the countries of the Caspian region, contributing to the implementation of the New Silk Road project," said Marabayev.
Previously, speaking at the SOCAR III International Caspian and Central Asia Downstream Forum on Trading, Logistics, Refining, Petrochemicals, Marabayev also announced the completion of the railway projects in Kazakhstan, which will significantly reduce the distance and cost of cargo transportation, and, accordingly, will increase the volume of cargo transshipment through the ports of Aktau and Kuryk.

Q: Comment Detector using regex with java I want to create beginning comment detector using regex with Java
I'm using JTextArea area to paste source code program and JTextArea comment as print out comment
Pattern aaa = Pattern.compile("(/\\*([^*]|[\\r\\n]|(\\*+([^*/]|[\\r\\n])))*\\*+/)|(//.*)");
Matcher bbb  =aaa.matcher(area.getText());

if(bbb.find())
{
    comment.setText(bbb.group());
}
else
    System.out.println ("no found");

My input text :
start_code();
/****
* Common multi-line comment style.
****/
more_code();
/*
* Another common multi-line comment style.
*/
end_code();

but program result
/****
* Common multi-line comment style.
****/

I want this program printed all comment.
this is my complete code
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;

class regex extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
    JTextArea area;
    JTextArea comment1;
    JButton button1;

    public regex()
    {
        super("program");
        tombol=new JButton("button1");
        area=new JTextArea();
        comment1=new JTextArea();
        button1.addActionListener(this);
        setLocation(200,200);
        setSize(1100,500);
        setLayout(null);
        area.setBounds(10,10,450,400);
        comment1.setBounds(480,10,450,400);
        button1.setBounds(10,410,450,25);
        add(area);
        add(comment1);
        add(button1);
        show();
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        if(button1==e.getSource())
        {
            Pattern aaa=Pattern.compile("(/\\*([^*]|[\\r\\n]|(\\*+([^*/]|[\\r\\n])))*\\*+/)|(//.*)");
            Matcher bbb=aaa.matcher(area.getText());
            if(bbb.find())
            {
                comment1.setText(bbb.group());
            }
            else
                System.out.println ("no found");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new regex();
    }
}

A: You have to change this part:
if (bbb.find()) {
   comment1.setText(bbb.group());
}

to something like this:
while(bbb.find()) {
   comment1.setText(comment1.getText()+bbb.group()+"\n");
}

because bbb.find() gives you the next match back.
Also you could shorten your Regex String to this: "(?:/\*(?:[^]|(?:\+[^/]))\*+/)|(?://.*)"
If you have more questions, just ask :)
Here the whole code, this works for me:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.JButton;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
class RegexTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
  JTextArea area;
  JTextArea comment1;
  JButton button1 = new JButton();
  private JButton tombol;

  public RegexTest() {
    super("program");
    tombol = new JButton("button1");
    area = new JTextArea();
    comment1 = new JTextArea();
    button1.addActionListener(this);
    setLocation(200, 200);
    setSize(1100, 500);
    setLayout(null);
    area.setBounds(10, 10, 450, 400);
    comment1.setBounds(480, 10, 450, 400);
    button1.setBounds(10, 410, 450, 25);
    add(area);
    add(comment1);
    add(button1);
    show();
  }

  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if (button1 == e.getSource()) {
      Pattern aaa = Pattern.compile("(/\\*([^*]|[\\r\\n]|(\\*+([^*/]|[\\r\\n])))*\\*+/)|(//.*)");
      Matcher bbb = aaa.matcher(area.getText());
      while (bbb.find()) {
        comment1.setText(comment1.getText() + bbb.group() + "\n");
      }
      // if (bbb.find()) {
      // comment1.setText(bbb.group());
      // } else
      // System.out.println("no found");
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new RegexTest();
  }
}

If you want to remove all comments:
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if (button1 == e.getSource()) {
      Pattern aaa = Pattern.compile("(/\\*([^*]|[\\r\\n]|(\\*+([^*/]|[\\r\\n])))*\\*+/)|(//.*)");
      Matcher bbb = aaa.matcher(area.getText());
      comment1.setText(bbb.replaceAll("")); //This is the new line

      // while (bbb.find()) {
      // comment1.setText(comment1.getText() + bbb.group() + "\n");
      // }
      // if (bbb.find()) {
      // comment1.setText(bbb.group());
      // } else
      // System.out.println("no found");
    }
  }

This is just a quick idea, if someone has something smarter, like removing the empty lines, please edit it in.

A: You can iterate over all matching groups:
if (bbb.find()) {
    StringBuilder comments = new StringBuilder();
    for (int g = 0; g < bbb.groupCount(); g++) {
        comments.append(bbb.group(g));
    }
    comment.setText(comments.toString());
}

A: how if i want finding all method ?
example :
class example
{
    public void ex1()

    {
        statement;
    }
    private string ex2(int a)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    example(){
        statement;
    }
}

result program :
ex1() : void
ex2(a : int) : string
example()

using regex too.

A: To answer your second question. You could try something like that, just place it in your class:
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if (button1 == e.getSource()) {
      Pattern aaa = Pattern.compile("(public|protected|private|static|\\s) +[\\w\\<\\>\\[\\]]+\\s+(\\w+) *\\([^\\)]*\\) *(\\{?|[^;])");
      Matcher bbb = aaa.matcher(area.getText());
      while (bbb.find()) {
        comment1.setText(comment1.getText() + bbb.group() + "\n");
      }
    }
  }

It doesn't format like your idea, but I think it does what you want.
And you shouldn't post new questions as answers, open a new one. And please mark a good answer as correct.

They say; Good things come in small packages. Or in this case: tiny packages. It looks lovely on you. And your pictures are great as always!
Also wanted to thank you for your comments yesterday. I always love reading your comments, you are so nice and funny. Yesterday I was feeling a bit under the weather and your comments really cheered me up!
Thanks for the great swatches and review. It is a pretty shadow, but I'm not liking the packaging at all.
I can totally see myself cutting it open trying to get every last bit of gloss out of it.
Is it weird that I was racking my brain trying to identify that lovely green polish before even scrolling down to read about the featured product? Oh well.
It could be very nice for travelling, the shadow seems so pigmented, aww !
such a cute packaging. I don't look good in this type of color.
Thank you so much for your positive words, my friend. And you're right! That 'good things come in small packages' expression certainly applies here!
I quite agree about the packaging. If you've seen other Jane Iredale products, the packaging for this Eye Gloss doesn't look quite as luxurious as the rest. I'm sure the Jane Iredale design team could do better!
Yeah, its mini size does mean it's very easy to carry around in the bag. I just have this mortal fear that, because it's so small, I might easily lose it when I take it out with me. Haha!
Hi, Lavender! Actually, the photos of my eye there weren't exactly eye looks. I deliberately used that one colour and applied it thickly so that the colour shows up well on camera, and of course, to demonstrate its "creasability".
Hi, I like maroons too. This one looks very pretty on you and 11 hours later it still looks gorgeous. It must be very good quality. I really have to try Jane Iredale. "KTee"
its such a cute n small tube !!
first time I heard of eye gloss, wow the pigmentation is so good !! thank you for sharing, I don't think I ever see this here in my country ..
Wow! This is an interesting product. And you know what an eyeshadow addict I am. Got to hunt this down.
I love the richness of this color on you! You always work the smokey eye look so well. =D Its long wear span is almost unheard of!
That shade is so nice and rich...very fall/winter. I should pick up an eyeshadow like that now that's it's winter here. Good that it doesn't crease immediately.
Love that shade on you. Wish I could wear a shade like that. I have really dark circles even after a coverup. Just wearing that shade would make my eyes looking bruished.
Wow the colour looks amazing :)!!
It reminds me a bit of my Milani baked Eyeshadow in Coffee Shop but, this looks much more pigmented + its a cream. Thanks for posting the ingredients.

Colombia and the Dominican Republic launch EITI Reports through innovative data portals and Mexico prepares to mainstream the EITI from the start.
Latin American countries are increasingly disclosing EITI data through innovative approaches that bring information on the extractive industries online in a more comprehensive, timely and user-friendly fashion.
On 28 November, the Dominican Republic presented its first EITI Report covering 2015. The government received a total of USD 298 million from both metallic (USD 249 million) and non-metallic sector (USD 49 million). The Pueblo Viejo gold and silver project (Barrick) accounted for most of this revenue. The Dominican Republic EITI have also created an EITI portal that includes up-to-date information about regulations, contractual arrangements, searchable production data by region and commodity, data on subnational transfers and links to budget portals, and illustrative infographics on the sectors contribution to the economy.
The report sheds new light on the contractual framework that regulates large mining operations in the Dominican Republic. These projects are regulated through a complex web of contracts with some regulations dating back to 1950s. State participation, now scaled down significantly, is going through an uncertain transition from exclusive ownership by the central government to a partial transfer of ownership of local projects to regional governments. The report also includes a number of recommendations, especially on the need to improve inter-governmental coordination for better monitoring of the sector. The report also calls for improvements in the regulation of Law 64-00 that mandates subnational transfers which are currently made under an intricate web of ad-hoc rules.
On 6 December Colombia launched its 2016 EITI Report on a digital platform. Together with its automated data collection, Colombia became the first country in Latin America to move to fully online reporting.
The portal follows the extractive value chain and includes a number of new features, including information on environmental licenses and fees paid to the environmental regulator. At the launch event, the Vice-minister of Environment, Carlos Alberto Botero stressed the importance of using the EITI in Colombia to bring more transparency to environmental management. The report also includes geo-referenced information about mineral and oil production and royalties that accrue to municipalities and regional governments. This information is complemented by the Mapa Regalia tool, which allows citizens to follow up the execution of projects financed with royalties.
The 2016 EITI Report included for the first time detailed information on the fees paid by extractive companies for the transportation of minerals, mainly coal, and crude oil, as Colombia's oil production is mostly onshore. In 2016, transportation related payments amounted to 168 million USD, mostly paid to more than 16 municipalities across Colombia.
The report incorporates a number of improvements identified in previous reporting cycles. The Independent Administration also includes recommendations for future reports including more detailed reporting on social payments.
Finally, Mexico is preparing, from the start of implementation, to disclose information on the Ministry of Finance's online platform. EITI-Mexico shared these plans at the recent Latin America and Caribbean Peer learning workshop in Santo Domingo on 28-30 November (https://eiti.org/santodomingo2017). Mexico's goal is to present strategic information in an understandable format and open to the public (open data). They also plan to link the EITI information to other international standards such as the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT) and Open Contracting Partnership. Mexico's extractive transparency portal will follow the EITI value-chain with emphasis on following up on the use of revenues through the hydrocarbon and mining funds and the national budget.


We had almost forgotten about it with all the cold weather, but the annual Victoria's Secret Swim Catalog is upon us already. The catalog, celebrating its sixteenth year, is kind of like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in that it highlights one lucky model every year on the coveted cover.
This year the Swim cover model is Candice Swanepoel, everyone's favorite South African Victoria's Secret Angel. The blonde also scored the Swim cover in 2012 and 2011, which seems a little unfair to Behati, Miranda and the rest but we have no say in these things. Candice and the rest of the models (including Karlie Kloss!) posed for the catalog shoot in Turks and Caicos and Miami, snapped by photographer Russell James.
Victoria's Secret posted the cover photo on Facebook this week, stating simply, "The sexiest swim season ever starts now…. Swim 2013. In homes now." If only the warm weather and cute swimsuits were in our homes right now, too.

"We were introduced to Estate Apps just before Christmas (2016) by FixFlo; we were looking at updating our website and we were not sure who could help us with this task, so a recommendation from a very reliable source is always a positive.
Alex was our main point of contact and he walked us through what the options available were but also wanted to be sure that the website met our key objectives – easy to use, atheistically pleasing and raised our company profile through the technical elements that everyone talks about (SEO, Google search, keywords, etc) yet very few actually understand. We also had to be sure that the "buying" process was straightforward.
When the technical aspect of business is not your forte, it's so important to have an organisation that provides a level of "hand holding" through the development process and Alex and his team did just that; the level of customer service and customer care was above and beyond what we have experienced with tech companies; we were kept fully aware of every stage of the process and consulted where necessary about even the minutest of details.
The result – well, there for the world to be seen. A website that all our team wants to use and look at. We have had such exceptional feedback, that it makes the feel of the Letting Training Centre seem brand new.
Because of own compliance department, publishing a website that kept them happy proved to be a pain in the arse. However, Estate apps remain the consummate professionals and were very patient with the multiple requests to make changes. I was pleased with the final product and have since engaged them to build a website for another of my companies.
Estate Apps recently designed and built our new website and we are sure we made the right decision in using them! We are a small family run estate agency and have always found the team at Estate Apps to be proactive and always willing to help. We are extremely happy with their service and would highly recommend Estate Apps to any business who is looking to stay one step ahead in online marketing and website design.
Alex and his team provided us with a great looking and functioning website and are always on hand with excellent customer service.
I'd say I can be quite a difficult customer as I am a bit of a perfectionist but the guys at Estate Apps handled me really well. Reactive and proactive they are a team that go all out to ensure their customers have exactly what they need to do well in this industry. I love our website and am very thankful to have these guys in our corner.

We needed our website to be edgy to represent our innovative and revolutionary approach to conveyancing which has enabled us to move 91% of our clients compared to a 37% abortive rate with other solicitors.
We had to find the right designer to help. Our previous website had won a national award already but we wanted to do more in our interactive site for both agents and clients.
We came across Alex and his team at Estate Apps at Richard Rawlings estate agent technology exhibition where we also exhibited. I found their work exciting. It was cool, clean and creative. I have not looked back. They have done an amazing job with our new site and I'm proud to have launched it. I thoroughly recommend them.
Great communicators, they listen! Rare for web developers. They will work with you to create something special. Our last website got some looks for design, but this is really turning heads.
"We were looking for a company to help us build a new website. We approached a number of the leading specialist Estate Agency web designers and met with them all. We also met with Estate Apps who had recently launched a new web design service.
Whilst all the design companies offered us a range of different websites, only Estate Apps appeared to understand our specific needs and requirements. Although we were somewhat anxious as to their lack of built sites for us to look at, the promotional price we were offered coupled with their enthusiasm, understanding and knowledge of the industry was all the encouragement we needed. We decided to take the risk and Estate Apps have been absolutely true to their word.
"We have worked with Estate Apps for quite a few years, starting only with a wish list and an idea of the killer website for our business. To say they have delivered would be an understatement; every request for change has been incorporated and with the patience of Job, they have taken on all of our outrageous requests and turned them into reality.
We wanted a website that was completely different to our competitors so that when our customers visited it, they would have no doubt which site they had seen a property on.
"As a new startup business, our budget for our online presence was minimal and our website was basic but functional. As our business grew, we took the decision to upgrade our website to something more bespoke and personal to us as a business and that's exactly what Estate Apps have given us.
"We've been delighted with the apps that Estate Apps have created for us. They've been quick to respond when there have been any issues or there have been things that we, as layman, have not understood. We have no hesitation in recommending their services to other estate agents. We like the "push notification" feature allowing us to send messages to everyone that's downloaded the app.

The Water and Climate Module provides students with experiences to explore the properties of water, the water cycle and weather, interactions between water and other earth materials, and how humans use water as a natural resource.
Students investigate the properties of water. They compare the way it interacts with four different surfaces, explore how it moves on a slope, how sponges interact with water, and what happens when rain falls on natural materials.
Students are introduced to temperature as a measure of how hot matter is. They observe the properties of water as it is heated, cooled, and frozen. They compare the density of water at different temperatures.
Students compare weather data that they observe, and collect forecasts and historical weather data. They are introduced to water vapor and evaporation. They explore the effects of environmental conditions and surface area on the rates of evaporation and consider how evaporation and condensation contribute to the water cycle.
Students organize and analyze local daily weather data for the previous year. This leads to understanding the difference between weather and climate. They discuss engineering methods to deal with weather-related hazards.
Students compare what happens when water is poured through different earth materials and test soil drainage rates. They construct a waterwheel and use it to lift objects. Students are also introduced to renewable natural resources and ways to conserve them.


I have been an iphone user for about two years now. I bought my first iphone 4 just because I wanted to jump into instagram and I was so curious to see why people go crazy with iphone.
My first impression of the iphone wasn't so great just because I was so accustom to Android and the seamless integration with all things google. After I got over the initial shocked of having to sync my data to itunes , I started to warm up to it. After awhile, I am totally hook with the phone. There's no turning back. This is not just a phone to me but it has become an important part of my life. The iphone has become my lifestyle.
Hipstamatic is my favorite apps so far and beautifulmess is a fun app to add flavor to your photo.
I don't buy CDs any more. All my music are in digital format and sit on my iphone and my computer. Even though the sound isn't as great as a sony player but it's great enough for me to enjoy those beautiful songs.
It's just handy to have your reminder with you all the time. It seems impossible to forget things.
Having a book with my everywhere I go is an amazing feeling. I used to carry a heavy book everywhere I go. Not anymore. Everything is at my finger tips.
Finally no more jotting things down on paper notebook. Most of the little things I just type in my phone. Using app like Awesome notes and Evernote really makes taking notes so much fun and handy.
that you use more than just making calls?
What other things do you used your phone for?

NEWS: Katy Lipson and Adam Lenson Announce The Chamber Musical Sessions
AuthorEmma ClarendonPosted on August 23, 2021 CategoriesMusicals, News, Theatre
The newly announced concert will celebrate 15 new musical theatre writing partnerships.
Taking place at the Garrick Theatre on the 4th October, The Chamber Musical Sessions concert invites audiences to join the 15 selected writing teams from across the UK to hear an array of new songs from the chamber
musicals that they are writing.
The writers will be joined by some of the West End's biggest stars, new faces and a house band to celebrate the new projects that have begun to emerge.
It was also announced that Eartha, Eddie and the Upside Down Tree by Leo Munby and Anabel Mutale Reed and Echoes by Freya Smith and Jack Williams have been selected out of the new commissions to be developed further.
Eartha, Eddie and the Upside Down Tree is a contemporary fairytale about wishing for love in a world of missed connections, while Echoes is about a queer relationship told from two perspectives, in two parts.
The concert is also set to include work from the writers Christina Bloom (Detached), Cordelia O'Driscoll (Bitter/Sweet), Emelie Odukwe and Lily Vincent-Frankland (At The Centre), Guy Woolf and Isla Van Tricht (How To Save The World), Tommy Antonio and Robert Casey (Harder Baby), Hilmi Jaidin (Clickbait), Jen Green and Caroline

Adam Lenson said: "We have been aware of how few opportunities there are for writers to be supported as they develop new musicals and it has been so wonderful to collaborate with Katy to create a little more space for the UK's writing talent. We hope other theatres and producers will follow our lead and commission and stage more new musical theatre. We are so excited to see what Annabel, Leo, Jack and Freya create and can't wait to celebrate them and the other longlisted writers in the West End in October."
The Chamber Musical Sessions concert will take place at the Garrick Theatre on the 4th October.

Q: Is it possible to "punch" textured text from an image, with GD or similar? is it also possible to "punch" text from an image, so that I get a text-image with part of an image as texture, from the offset where I "punched"?
I know I can write text on an image with GD. I've read about being able to texture text with a smaller image to tile-fill text, but that's not what I am looking for.. Compare the below example, if my question still haven't made sense.
Example (via http://www.photoshopessentials.com/images/type/effects/texture-text/photoshop-textured-text.gif):

A: Here are instructions for compositing.
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/#mask
You need

*

*A black image (e.g. black-bg.png)

*The ripple image (e.g. ripple-overlay.png)

*The text image, with the text white on black (e.g. text-mask.png)

All three should be the same size.  Then,
composite black-bg.png ripple-overlay.png text-mask.png final.png

for #3, the mask can actually be grayscale, with the gray level controlling how much of each image is used.

*

*Black -- use the pixel from the background

*White -- use the pixel from the overlay image

*Gray -- mix them based on the gray level (you might want this for anti-aliasing around the letters)

So Moved, St. John's: 13 September 2021
Two weeks out from the city election, St. John's adopts new heritage by-laws—which are then immediately ignored by council, for some reason.
Hope Jamieson
# so moved
Back on weekly meetings, the St. John's City Council met this week to discuss matters of heritage, mostly, with a side order of post-hurricane housekeeping.
New Heritage By-laws: A Part of Our Heritage
Beginning the substance of the meeting, Cllr Burton introduces the motion to adopt the City's new Heritage By-Law, which has been a major focus of hers during this term. The by-law adds a new heritage area in the Battery, brings in stronger, more enforceable regulations about heritage, and codifies heritage design standards. Much of the content of the by-law was previously contained in the development regulations. By moving these regulations to their own by-law under the City of St. John's Act, the City can now prosecute offenses like they would any other by-law violation.
Cllr Burton calls on Chief Planner Ken O'Brien to speak on the by-law, starting with a question on heritage uses: some expanded allowances for heritage buildings outside specific zone requirements, intended to make the ownership and preservation of these large buildings more economically feasible. O'Brien points out that heritage uses are intended to prevent heritage buildings and areas from becoming "museum pieces" and allows them to continue to be used for practical purposes. The new heritage by-law codifies design standards for each heritage area to preserve the character of these iconic parts of the city.
The by-law brings in significantly expanded public engagement requirements as well: an application to demolish a Heritage Building, an application to amend or revoke the designation of a Heritage Building, an amendment of a Heritage Area, the designation of a new Heritage Area, an application for a new development adjacent to a Heritage Building, or anything else related to heritage that they decides will require input from the public. Under the new by-law a "heritage report" will be required in many of those same instances, or any other time an inspector thinks one should be required. Both of these requirements enhance the protections for heritage buildings and areas significantly, and creating a separate by-law to address this means there will be concrete repercussions for not following the rules.
As I've noted in other coverage, despite what by-law detractors continue to posit, there will remain in place stringent rules around heights and other development concerns in the downtown, and in all zones throughout the city, as set out in the development regulations. The regs, not any by-law, is the document which governs those matters. The heritage by-law adds an additional layer of scrutiny for projects in heritage areas, for heritage buildings, and for those adjacent to them. This is a significant step forward when it comes to having actual enforceable rules to protect built heritage in the city.
Let's check out a visual representation of this. Here's a screencap of the heritage areas in the by-law:
And here's the new zoning map from the recently adopted Envision St. John's Development Regulations:
The majority of the heritage areas in question are a mix of Commercial Downtown Mixed and Residential Downtown, with a scattered lot zoned CDM2 and the far west of downtown being Commercial Downtown. The heights in CDM and RD, which are by far most represented in the heritage area, are 18 metres and 8 metres, respectively. CDM2 mostly covers the site-specific height exemptions given by past councils in the former CCM zone, and allows for buildings up to 27 metres, but that proverbial horse is largely already out of the barn as a result of past councils' failure to follow the regs in the period from 2009-2014 when those exemptions were granted. Commercial Downtown allows for quite tall buildings, to a maximum of 54 metres— again, this would be only for Water St. West and environs, where tall buildings already exist—but anything over 18 metres requires a Land Use Assessment Report to be approved by council. Remember as well that the new by-law would subject any development in the heritage area to public consultation. Council votes to adopt the by-law unanimously.
But Who Needs Regulations, Anyway?
And then with the next item on the agenda they immediately flout it. Introducing the item from Committee of the Whole, Cllr Burton speaks to a recommendation from the Built Heritage Experts Panel concerning siding on 16 George Street. The Heritage regulations require that horizontal siding be installed, the proponent is insistent that only vertical siding will do. In contravention of the by-law as it relates to heritage standards, and going against the recommendation of the BHEP, at COTW the majority of council voted to allow the vertical siding.
Some councillors note that the building currently has vertical siding and that many businesses in the area have facades that are in contravention of the Heritage guidelines. Councillor Burton points out that those Heritage guidelines were brought in after many of those businesses were constructed, and that if they were built today they would not be permitted to be built in that style. The principle is that new buildings should adhere to the current regulations including the by-law literally just a few moments ago passed unanimously by Council.
Cllr Skinner states that the building has had vertical siding for "50 to 70 years" and that the proponent asked for, "a reason for rejection other than it doesn't adhere to the regulations." Which Cllr Burton clarifies is not the case; the building has had horizontal, wooden siding since 1999. The argument also implies that "not adhering to the regulations" is not sufficient, which causes one to wonder what exactly is sufficient, if not that. Skinner affirms the need to have a predictable process, but since this developer made a big fuss, he thinks they should probably be inconsistent instead.
Cllr Froude said, "I don't see this as being pro or against the project, or pro or against economic development as a specific choice within a broader development. I do believe there's a value in consistency and coherence in by-laws and regulations unless there's a compelling reason to make an exception. It seems to me this is a subjective preference for the type and orientation [of the siding], so that to me is not sufficient reason to vote against the by-law we passed about 15 minutes ago."
Cllr Hickman says, 'I'm looking at it differently. I'm looking at it as to heritage and what it means to the old City of St. John's. When it comes to horizontal siding, done deal, can't even waiver." And yet waiver he does as he goes on to give a list of things that used to go on on George St, and mention, "the date that the Sundance went in there, things started to change." He commends the proponent for fixing their property and offers his support without linking this back to the issue of heritage.
Comments from Cllr Hanlon, Cllr Korab, and the Mayor also generally fall into the category of, "this doesn't really matter that much anyway, why are we making such a big deal about it?" The Mayor suggests that, "there is room for a little bit something different in the heritage area." Which is of course not quite the spirit of the by-law passed only moments before, which sets out very clear standards for heritage areas.
Cllr Burton closes by saying it's a matter of principle—the City should adhere to its own regulations. Nevertheless the motion to allow the developer to go ahead with vertical siding is carried 7 to 3 with Cllr Froude, Cllr Burton, and Deputy Mayor O'Leary dissenting.
More Culture, Both Yeast and Film
Another matter of heritage at 27 New Gower Street. The former Sundance building is on the agenda as well, which appears to be for something called "Adelaide Motors Brewing Co."—and, in my inexpert and highly subjective opinion, is extremely cool-looking:
The proposed renovations are approved unanimously with some further details to come back to council at a later date.
Cllr Skinner introduces a number of road closures related to filming as representative on council for the Special Events Regulatory Committee. Skinner notes that this filming will take place overnight and therefore a noise by-law exemption is required. Motion carries unanimously.
Picking Up After Larry
The Mayor begins the go-round by thanking staff, the Fire Department, and other first responders during and in the aftermath of Hurricane Larry, and thanks the public for their co-operation as cleanup continues. Cllr Korab mentions that also as a result the Mews pool will be closed until Wednesday, as will Terra Nova ballfield and those in Bannerman, Bowring and Victoria Parks remain closed for hurricane cleanup. Korab goes on to bring up the 5-year agreement reached with an ABA team ownership group to bring basketball to Mile One. He offers gratitude to Sheena McCrate, CEO of St. John's Sports and Entertainment, for her proactive approach to offering the Iceberg Alley owners the option of moving operations to Mile One after their tent was totalled by Larry.
Also on the subject of Larry, the Deputy Mayor acknowledges, "not only just staff and first responders and the people who are working tirelessly, but also the neighbours, the neighborhoods and the people who come together on a regular basis to help each other out."
She also wonders, "I know that the city's public works department is working really, really hard to address, obviously, the trees, the branches, and the other tree debris that have come down from the storm, and that we have locations set up now to receive the the trees and and and those kind of debris." But can residents without trucks get help from the City to remove debris from their properties?
Deputy City Manager of Public Works Lynnann Winsor politely says that the City doesn't have the resources to help residents with that. The DM encourages neighbours with trucks to help each other out.
Cllr Hanlon wants residents to know their ballots should arrive in the mail this week. Also, she wants everyone to know how very busy candidates are and that there are a lot of surveys to fill out but she will get to them, she says, in due time.
With just two weeks left until the election, this council is riding out its last days. An interesting dynamic is visible: some council members are sure they will be back after October, others are certain they won't, and some are in the middle trying to assure that they will be, with no guarantees. If you haven't received your ballot in the mail by the end of this week, make sure you're on the voters list so that you receive your ballot. For better or for worse, some things will soon change at City Hall; how that happens is up to us all.

Q: php uploading a csv file into a mysql table I'm trying to create a script where a user can upload a csv file into a table.  I got the tutorial from shotdev.com, I'm getting the following errors, what am I doing wrong?
**The following command is not allowed: copy
The following command is not allowed: fopen**
Page1.php
<form action="page2.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1">
      <input name="fileCSV" type="file" id="fileCSV">
      <input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit">
    </form>

Page2.php
<?
    copy($_FILES["fileCSV"]["tmp_name"],"shotdev/".$_FILES["fileCSV"]["name"]); // Copy/Upload CSV

include 'datalogin.php';

    $objCSV = fopen("shotdev/".$_FILES["fileCSV"]["name"], "r");
    while (($objArr = fgetcsv($objCSV, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        $strSQL = "INSERT INTO customer ";
        $strSQL .="(CustomerID,Name,Email,CountryCode,Budget,Used) ";
        $strSQL .="VALUES ";
        $strSQL .="('".$objArr[0]."','".$objArr[1]."','".$objArr[2]."' ";
        $strSQL .=",'".$objArr[3]."','".$objArr[4]."','".$objArr[5]."') ";
        $objQuery = mysql_query($strSQL);
    }
    fclose($objCSV);

    echo "Import completed.";
?>

A: It looks like you're running PHP in safe mode or with certain functions disabled. For security reasons web hosts often disable file commands.
You could discuss your requirements with your web host - some are flexible enough to enable the functions for you if you ask nicely.
Otherwise you'll have to achieve it without using the disabled file commands. One way would be to create a textarea in an HTML form in which you paste the CSV. SUbmit it to your PHP script which then runs the MySQL import.
Hope that helps

A: This seems to be a limitation imposed by the hosting provider (they seem to have put fopen() and copy() on the list of disabled functions, which is rather silly), in which case you probably can't do anything about it except ask the provider to relax the restriction.
Generally though, you're not handling the uploaded files properly using move_uploaded_file(). Use it as shown in the example in the manual link.

Q: Is there any way I can force Firefox to NOT cache redirects (301 and 302)? I am a web developer, and there are many times where I have to create or alter a 301 or 302 redirect. It is cumbersome to test immediate changes in Firefox because it caches redirects, so if I change the redirect server-side, and then hard refresh, the old redirect is cached, so the only way I can test the new one is by deleting my cache or starting a private browser session.
That being said, it is not particularly difficult to work around, but it is annoying, especially when I forget to do so, and it looks like my new redirect is not working, until I remember to delete the cache or start a new private session.
I understand why it is beneficial to cache redirects for normal use, but I would like to disable the behavior for debugging purposes.

A: You can set an option to turn off consulting the cache if you have the developer toolbox panel open (as it happens with F12).
To set this option:

*

*On any page, hit F12 to open the developer toolbox panel.

*Click the gear icon in the top right of that panel.

*There, check "Advanced Settings → Disable Cache (when toolbox is open)".

Cache redirects will still be cached from visits without the developer toolbox panel open, but that cache is not consulted and not updated as long as the developer toolbox is open. So you only temporarily force Firefox to not cache redirects or serve redirects from cache, but it could be enough for your use case.
Verified in Firefox 41. Adapted from Ryan Bemrose's answer to another question.

A: In Firefox Firebug, under the Net tab, there is an option called "Disable Cache". I flip this on when doing redirect testing, and I have it flipped off otherwise.

A:
I completely understand why it is beneficial to cache redirects in 99%
  of situations, but is there anyway to disable that behavior?

Well, if you are doing this from a web server development standpoint, then expecting browser "cache at all costs" behavior to be altered for your "endless development tweaking" needs is the wrong way to attack this beast. When you are debugging web server redirects, you need to focus on checking the header output and not full page rendering output which browsers provide.
So instead, I would recommend learning how to use curl and the -I option from the command line to return only headers which is very useful for debugging 301 and 302 redirects. From the command line. As explained in the official curl man page, the -I option is:

-I/--head
(HTTP/FTP/FILE) Fetch the HTTP-header only! HTTP-servers feature the
  command HEAD which this uses to get nothing but the header of a
  document. When used on a FTP or FILE file, curl displays the file size
  and last modification time only.

For example, do a curl -I google.com and the output will be something like this:
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.google.com/
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2015 04:37:42 GMT

Server: gws
Content-Length: 219
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Alternate-Protocol: 80:quic,p=0.5

And if you wanted to follow the whole redirect chain via headers, then add the -L option (aka: --location) to the command like this:
curl -I -L google.com

And the output of that command following the location redirect chain would be something like this:
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.google.com/
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2015 04:48:14 GMT

Note the header response of HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently as well as Location: http://www.google.com/. If your web development goal is to test things like Apache rewrite rules and redirects, curl -I is the best tool to help you see what your tweaks are doing.
And after those tweaks are finalized and perfected, then do a final run in a real browser to see it all come to life.

A: Go to about:config and set both browser.cache.disk.enable and browser.cache.memory.enable to false.  This is the same as checking "Disable Browser Cache".

Q: Why does this COUNTIF formula give 2? I have this COUNTIF formula:
=COUNTIF(A1:A20,A1:A20&"")

When I highlighted the formula and hit F9, I got the following array:
{1;2;2;1;1;1;1;1;1;2;2;2;1;2;4;4;4;4;1;1}

The formula by itself gives 2. I wonder from where the 2 come.

A: We don't have clear understanding about your question unless see your excel sheet.
So I made some points that will helps for your understanding about COUNTIF function. COUNTIF, is used to count cells that match criteria.
=COUNTIF (range, criteria)

range - The range of cells to count.
criteria - The criteria that controls which cells should be counted.

Some Important Notes:

COUNTIF is a function to count cells that meet a single criteria.
  COUNTIF can be used to count cells with dates, numbers, and text that
  match specific criteria. The COUNTIF function supports logical
  operators (>,<,<>,=) and wildcards (*,?) for partial matching.

Some Examples:
=COUNTIF(D5:D12,">100")
=COUNTIF(B5:B12,"jim")

Hope this might helps :)

A: Because you are using COUNTIF wrong.  As per the documentation:

COUNTIF(range, criteria)
range (required) - The group of cells you want to count
criteria (required) - A number, expression, cell reference, or text string that determines which cells will be counted.

This tells you that Criteria accepts only one value, and not a range/array.
If you use the "Evaluate Formula" tool, you will see that your criteria (A1:A20&"") matches the current row.  On row 1, it is treated as A1&"".  On row 2, it is treated as A2&"".  On row 15, it is treated as A15&"".  You can also put identical copies of your formula in every row, from 1 to 20, to see this.
As such - on rows 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, and 14 the result will be 2.  On rows 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 19, and 20 the result will be 1.  And, on rows 15, 16, 17, and 18, the result will be 4.
As a bonus, rows 21+ will give a result of 0

Speeches Public Transport | August 22, 2017
More cuts to public transport in Western Victoria
In Parliament today the Nationals Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy MP has asked the Minister for Public Transport to explain how people can travel to areas of the Wimmera following Labor's disgraceful cuts to public transport connections in the region.
Ms Kealy said she had been approached by a number of constituents about a decision by the Andrews' Labor Government to cut an existing evening VLine train and bus service from Melbourne to the Wimmera.
"One of these constituents works in Melbourne and Labor's cut of the only evening service from Melbourne to Warracknabeal means he has no way to get home.
"There has also been a cut to the number of afternoon services leaving Melbourne to Western Victoria, with the timetabling of a train and coach both leaving Melbourne at 12:16 pm.
"It's just absurd and deceptive that Labor are saying we have more public transport services to Western Victoria when in reality our access to services has been reduced.
"We need investment in public transport services, not cuts, to ensure our country communities thrive.
"The Andrews' Labor Government's constant spin is about increasing public transport services but the reality is we have the worst access to public transport in the State.
"This latest service cut by Labor is just another example of Western Victorian residents being treated like second class citizens by a city-centric government.
"The Nationals are proud to stand up for Regional Victoria and I assure the people of the Lowan electorate that I will continue to fight for our fair share of funding so our communities have the jobs, investment and services we need to thrive," she said.

AUTHORITY, contracts. The delegation of power by one person to another.
2. We will consider, 1. The delegation 2. The nature of the authority. 3. The manner it is to be executed. 4. The effects of the authority.
3. – 1. The authority may be delegated by deed, or by parol. 1. It may be delegated by deed for any purpose whatever, for whenever an authority by parol would be sufficient, one by deed will be equally so. When the authority is to do something which must be performed through the medium of a deed, then the authority must also be by deed, and executed with all the forms necessary, to render that instrument perfect; usless, indeed, the principal be present, and verbally or impliedly authorizes the agent to fix his name to the deed; 4 T. R. 313; W. Jones, R. 268; as, if a man be authorized to convey a tract of land, the letter of attorney must be by deed. Bac. Ab. h. t.; 7 T. R. 209; 2 Bos. & Pull, 338; 5 Binn. 613;. 14 S. & A. 331; 6 S. & R. 90; 2 Pick. R. 345; 6 Mass. R. 11; 1 Wend. 424 9 Wend. R. 54, 68; 12 Wend. R. 525; Story, Ag. 49; 3 Kent, Com. 613, 3d edit.; 3 Chit. Com. Law, 195. But it does not require a written authority to sign an unscaled paper, or a contract in writing not under seal. Paley on Ag. by Lloyd, 161; Story, Ag. 50.
4. – 2. For many purposes, however, the authority may be by parol, either in writing not under seal, or verbally, or by the mere employment of the agent. Pal. on Agen. 2. The exigencies of commercial affairs render such an appointment indispensable; business would be greatly embarrassed, if a regular letter of attorney were required to sign or negotiate a promissory note or bill of exchange, or sell or buy goods, or write a letter, or procure a policy for another. This rule of the common law has been adopted and followed from the civil law. Story, Ag. 47; Dig. 3, 3, 1, 1 Poth. Pand. 3, 3, 3; Domat, liv. 1, tit. 15, 1, art. 5; see also 3 Chit. Com. Law, 5, 195 7 T. R. 350.
5. – 2. The authority given must have been possessed by the person who delegates it, or it will be void; and it must be of a thing lawful, or it will not justify the person to whom it is given. Dyer, 102; Kielw. 83. It is a maxim that delegata potestas non potest delegari, so that an agent who has a mere authority must execute it himself, and cannot delegate his authority to a sub-agent. See 5 Pet. 390; 3 Story, R. 411, 425; 11 Gill & John. 58; 26 Wend. 485; 15 Pick. 303, 307; 1 McMullan, 453; 4 Scamm. 127, 133; 2 Inst. 597. See Delegation.
6. Authorities are divided into general or special. A general authority is one which extends to all acts connected with a particular employment; a special authority is one confined to "an individual instance." 15 East, 408; Id. 38.
7. They are also divided into limited and unlimited. When the agent is bound by precise instructions, it is limited; and unlimited when be is left to pursue his own discretion. An authority is either express or implied.
8. An express authority may be by deed of by parol, that is in writing not under seal, or verbally.. The authority must have been actually given.
9. An implied authority is one which, although no proof exists of its having been actually given, may be inferred from the conduct of the principal; for example, when a man leaves his wife without support, the law presumes he authorizes her to buy necessaries for her maintenance; or if a master, usually send his servant to buy goods for him upon credit, and the servant buy some things without the master's orders, yet the latter will be liable upon the implied authority. Show. 95; Pal. on Ag. 137 to 146.
10. – 3. In considering in what manner the authority is to be executed, it will be necessary to examine, 1. By whom the authority must be executed. 2. In what manner. 3. In what time.
11. – 1. A delegated authority can be executed only by the person to whom it is given, for the confidence being personal, cannot be assigned to a stranger. 1 Roll. Ab. 330 2 Roll. Ab. 9 9 Co. 77 b .; 9 Ves. 236, 251 3 Mer. R. 237; 2 M. & S. 299, 301.
12. An authority given to two cannot be executed by one. Co. Litt. 112 b, 181 b. And an authority given to three jointly and separately, is not, in general, well executed by two. Co. Litt. 181 b; sed vide 1 Roll. Abr. 329, 1, 5; Com. Dig. Attorney, C 8 3 Pick. R. 232; 2 Pick. R. 345; 12 Mass. R. 185; 6 Pick. R. 198; 6 John. R. 39; Story, Ag. 42. These rules apply to on authority of a private nature, which must be executed by all to whom it is given; and notto a power of a public nature, which may be executed by all to whom majority. 9 Watts, R. 466; 5 Bin. 484, 5; 9 S, & R. 99. 2. When the authority is particular, it must in general be strictly pursued, or it will be void, unless the variance be merely circumstantial. Co. Litt. 49 b, 303, b; 6 T. R. 591; 2 H. Bl. 623 Co. Lit. 181 , b; 1 Tho. Co. Lit. 852.
13. – 2. As to the form to be observed in the execution of an authority, it is a general rule that an act done under a power of attorney must be done in the name Of the person who gives a power, and not in the attorney's name. 9 Co. 76, 77. It has been holden that the name of the attorney is not requisite. 1 W. & S. 328, 332; Moor, pl. 1106; Str. 705; 2 East, R. 142; Moor, 818; Paley on Ag. by Lloyd, 175; Story on Ag. 146 T 9 Ves. 236: 1 Y. & J. 387; 2 M. & S. 299; 4 Campb. R. 184; 2 Cox, R. 84; 9 Co. R. 75; 6 John. R. 94; 9 John. Pi,. 334; 10 Wend. R. 87; 4 Mass. R. 595; 2 Kent, Com. 631, 3d ed. But it matters not in what words this is done, if it sufficiently appear to be in the name of the principal, as, for A B, (the principal,) C D, (the attorney,) which has been held to be sufficient. See 15 Serg. & R. 55; 11 Mass. R. 97; 22 Pick. R. 168; 12 Mass. R. 237 9 Mass. 335; 16 Mass. R. 461; 1 Cowen, 513; 3 Wend. 94; Story, Ag. 154,275, 278, 395; Story on P. N., 69; 2 East, R. 142; 7 Watt's R. 121 6 John. R. 94. But see contra, Bac. Ab. Leases, J 10; 9 Co, 77; l Hare & Wall. Sel. Dec. 426.
14. – 3. The execution musr take place during the continuance, of the authority, which is determined either by revocation, or performance of the commission.
15. In general, an authority is revocable, unless it be given as a security, or it be coupled with an interest. 3 Watts & Serg. 14; 4 Campb. N. P. 272; 7 Ver. 28; 2 Kent's Com. 506; 8 Wheat. 203; 2 Cowen, 196; 2 Esp. N. P. Cases, 565; Bac. Abr. h. t. The revocation (q. v.) is either express or implied; when it is express and made known to the person authorized, the authority is at an end; the revocation is implied when the principal dies, or, if a female, marries; or the subject of the authority is destroyed, as if a man have authority to sell my house, and it is destroyed by fire or to buy for me a horse, and before the execution of the authority, the horse dies.
16. When once the agent has exercised all the authority given to him, the authority is at an end.
17. – 4. An authority is to be so construed as to include all necessary or usual means of executing it with effect 2 H. Bl. 618; 1 Roll. R. 390; Palm. 394 10 Ves. 441; 6 Serg. & R. 149; Com'. Dig.

Commission too optimistic in economic growth forecasts, analyst says
Henriette Jacobsen
growth_chart.jpg
Even if the European Commission seems slightly optimistic about future growth in the EU, some consider the EU executive's forecast too rosy and warn against underestimating other risks. This has systematically been the case in the past years of crisis.
The Commission is cautiously optimistic regarding the EU's possibility of getting out of the eurozone crisis in the short term.
The optimism is not just "wishful thinking", said Karl Pichelmann, senior advisor at the European Commission's DG Economic and Financial Affairs. He spoke at a European labour market conference held by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) in Brussels on 31 January.
DG-Ecfin produces economic forecasts on behalf of the Commission. It produces short-term macroeconomic forecasts twice a year, in the spring and autumn. These forecasts concentrate on the member states, the euro area and the EU, but also include outlooks for candidate countries as well as some non-EU countries.
Pichelmann said that in the run-up to 2008 and 2009, when the global crisis fully erupted, there was a build-up of a dangerous leverage debt level cycle in the financial system with both private and public debt reaching levels not seen before in history.
This fragility in the financial sector was an accident waiting to happen. It occurred in the United Kingdom, the United States and in the euro area, but in the euro area it was reinforced by the imbalances between the surplus and deficit countries.
Now, however, there are some reasons for optimism for the eurozone, which may be able to get out of the almost perfect storm which it has found itself in over the past couple of years, Pichelmann stressed.
He said the risk of a breakup of the euro area has diminished. "A year ago, gloomy headlines dominated about the eminent breakup of the euro area, predicting "grexit" [Greek exit from the eurozone] before the end of 2012. The tail risk has diminished as spreads have come down, the financial markets have stabilised. Economic indicators are beginning to turn positive," the Commission advisor said.
Despite the current turnaround, Pichelmann underscores the difficult situation in the labour market and the unemployment rate is likely to get worse, before it gets better this year.
"So tackling unemployment and the social consequences of the crisis will be one of the most important challenges ahead of us," he said.
Forecast errors
However, Gustav Horn, the director of the Macroeconomic Policy Institute (IMK) at the Hans-Böckler Foundation in Düsseldorf, said he had strong reservation to Commission's general approach to this crisis.
"The Commission in its first crisis forecast announced a slight dip in GDP for 2009 and said growth will pick up again in 2010," Horn said, "and in the following period forecasts it had to revise downwards each time. The Commission always said that it will go up next year. Growth has been delayed in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Still, the Commission has the perspective that things will improve."
Horn acknowledged that everyone can commit an error, but the Commission makes them repeatedly.
"The Commission seems to keep making the same error. This is a systematic error of its policy. It has been proven that multipliers have been heavily underestimated by the EU Commission," the IMK director said.
The conclusion is that the EU is in a recession and will stay there, Horn said.
"I do not believe the forecast from the EU Commission, that we will see a change as long this approach continues. There has to be a change in the forecasts," he said.
In reaction to the economic and financial crisis, economic surveillance of member states has been enhanced in several steps.
The new elements and annual schedule of surveillance also required an adaptation of the scope and frequency of European Economic Forecasts.
Under rules that took effect in autumn 2012, the Commission must provide three forecasts - the traditional spring and autumn editions and a winter forecast to be published in the beginning of February.
22 Feb.: The winter 2013 European Economic Forecast will be published.

Tackling unemployment should be the only hot issue the EU must cover these days and all the rest put aside.no new countries certainly. IT does not make sense ;its the excuse to keep the guys of the commission busy;they don't know anything about the consequences of unemployment. they are irresponsable people in this area and most of all they don't know how to create employment.
Its becoming a sad story in europe created by the EU itself trough stupid austerity but of course Miss Merkel is the boss,not Barosso,nor van rompuy,they are the servants of germany.
Whenever there's been a new economic forecast from the commission during the crisis, it has followed the same pattern…
"Yes, it is bad now, but in 6-12 months growth will return…"
Where is growth going to come from? The public budgets are being slashed, and with increasing taxation on top of no pay-rises and lay-offs the private budgets go the same way…

Milo Greene – Your Tuesday's Must Hear Band
Category: Artist Spotlight, Atmospheric, Indie Rock, Pop, Rock
There is something familiar and beautiful hidden inside the music of LA's indie pop band Milo Greene. Melodic and building, their music has a way of seeking your soul out and giving it a soundtrack. Recently the act signed with Nettwerk, and is expecting to release an EP in '17. To celebrate, they have released the first single off the upcoming album, and man is it good. "We Kept The Lights On" showcases everything good in the band's arsenal of creativity and talent. Urgent and cinematic, we find the band exchanging vocal duties with breathless ease. One of the unique traits of Milo Greene are their ability to have all four members share both vocal and songwriting duties. This is amazing when you think how difficult it is to balance all the personalities in a band. The song also has a sparse but soul-crushing guitar that sets the mood well as it builds to an epic climax.
"This song feels like it's at the epicenter of our collective sensibilities as a band. It's sultry and haunting, but also melodically focused and driven by increasingly heavy drums and electric guitars. It just really feels like Milo." explains multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Graham Fink.
We think this is a band to watch in '17. One listen, and you are sure to agree. They already have two pretty stellar LP's and are fixed for continued success as they build their fanbase. Check out their new single below:

AF announces scouting award nominees

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force officials recently announced the Airman nominees for the 6th Annual Scouting Salutes the Military Award.
Senior Airman Ronald A. Murray, with 786th Civil Engineer Squadron at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and Tech. Sgt. Paul H. Grow with the 6th Maintenance Group at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, were selected to compete for the recognition.
Sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America, the award recognizes an enlisted member, grade E-4 through E-6, from each branch of the military who has displayed outstanding military service, performed a heroic deed or demonstrated extraordinary commitment to community service, and who has an existing or recent connection to scouting.
Murray volunteered 3,500 hours, leading 60 events and assisting another 200 in support of nine organizations that provide community services throughout the Kaiserslautern Military Community. As Troop 156 assistant scoutmaster, he guided 56 scouts through 85 rank advancements and provided direct oversight of 25 high-risk youth activities spanning three different countries.
Grow deployed a total of 384 days to the Middle East and Europe supporting operations Enduring Freedom, New Dawn and Odyssey Dawn, as well as numerous overseas contingency operations. While at his home station, he served as the scoutmaster and lead charter member for the new, rapidly expanding Boy Scouts of America Troop 199.
A selection committee from the National Capital Area Council staff and volunteers will review the all services' nominations and select the final award recipient.
