>  A [`Yeoman`](http://yeoman.io) generator for single-page applications using the [`Elm`](http://elm-lang.org/) language.

 This generator scaffolds a single-page application (SPA) for [`Elm`](http://elm-lang.org/) following the best practices outlined in [The Elm Architecture](https://github.com/evancz/elm-architecture-tutorial/) guide while leveraging the fantastic [`Hop`](http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/sporto/hop/latest) router.  This generator features sub-generators to quickly scaffold additional Views and Components.  In addition, it provides modern developer and release tooling, including: [native module](https://github.com/NoRedInk/take-home/wiki/Writing-Native) development using [`Babel`](https://babeljs.io/) and [`Node.js`](https://nodejs.org) libraries via [`Webpack`](https://webpack.github.io/), automatic recompilation via [`Gulp`](http://gulpjs.com/), live reloading of styles using [`gulp-livereload`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-livereload), modern debugging via [`elm-reactor`](https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-reactor), and separate development and distribution builds.

## Status

# Warning: This generator has not been updated since the Elm 0.17 release.

**Base generator**

- [x] Multiple views
- [x] Smart and dumb components
- [x] [`Hop`](http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/sporto/hop/latest) router
- [x] Native modules and tooling

- [x] Watch tooling for native modules and styles via [`Gulp`](http://gulpjs.com/) and [`Webpack`](https://webpack.github.io/)
- [x] ~~Hot swapping~~ ([broken in 0.16]()) and time travel debugging via [`elm-reactor`](https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-reactor)
- [x] Tooling to build for distribution
- [x] Environment-specific configuration

**View sub-generator**

- [x] Generates separate source files
- [x] Generated source placed in `src/elm/spa/App/Views` in it's own subfolder
- [x] Generated View compiles

**Component sub-generator**

- [x] Generates a single source file
- [x] Generated source placed in `src/elm/spa/App/Components`
- [x] Generated Component compiles

## Prerequisites

You will need [`Elm`](http://elm-lang.org/), [`Yeoman`](http://yeoman.io) and [`Gulp`](http://gulpjs.com/) installed globally (for *nix users, this may require `sudo`):

```sh
$ npm install -g elm yo gulp
```

## Getting Started

To install `generator-elm-spa` run:

```sh
$ npm install -g generator-elm-spa
```

Then start the generator:

```sh
$ yo elm-spa
```

Once the generator is complete, run the web server:

```sh
$ npm run server
```

Then navigate to [`http://localhost:8000/dev/index.html`](http://localhost:8000/dev/index.html) for debugging using the `elm-reactor` debugger, or to [`http://localhost:8000/dist/index.html`](http://localhost:8000/dist/index.html) to view the final distribution.

## Sub-generators

In addition to the base SPA scaffolding, this generator also scaffolds views:

```sh
$ yo elm-spa:view MyView
   create src/elm/spa/App/Views/MyView/Actions.elm
   create src/elm/spa/App/Views/MyView/Models.elm
   create src/elm/spa/App/Views/MyView/Update.elm
   create src/elm/spa/App/Views/MyView/View.elm
```

and components:

```sh
$ yo elm-spa:component MyComponent
   create src/elm/spa/App/Components/MyComponent.elm
```

## Tooling

Manually create development and distribution builds:

```sh
$ npm run build
```

Watch all source for changes and automatically recompile as necessary:

```sh
$ npm run watch
```

Run the `elm-reactor` web server:

```sh
$ npm run server
```

Close encounters of the dolphin kind: Contrasting tourist support for feeding based interactions with concern for dolphin welfare
Senigaglia, V., New, L. and Hughes, M. ORCID: 0000-0002-9810-1891 (2020) Close encounters of the dolphin kind: Contrasting tourist support for feeding based interactions with concern for dolphin welfare. Tourism Management, 77 . Article 104007.
Link to Published Version: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tourman.2019.104007
*Subscription may be required
The tourism demand for close interactions with wildlife has increased in the last few decades. At the same time, public concern for animal welfare has also increased. Tourists are drawn to the thrill of close encounters with charismatic wildlife in their natural setting which depend on the reliability of wildlife being in a certain place at a given time. Food provisioning is a form of operant conditioning that uses food rewards to attract wildlife, promoting spatially and temporally reliable wildlife encounters that satisfy the desire for close encounters with wildlife. However, a range of effects counter to wildlife welfare and conservation may result from both the provisioning and close encounters. Our study examines visitors' attitude and support towards regulated provisioning and identifies a gap between visitors' desire for close-up encounters, their concern for dolphin welfare and the documented negative impacts of close encounters and food-provisioning.

Taiwan beats Puerto Rico 6-1, takes Premier12 opener
Taipei, Nov. 5 (CNA) Taiwan's national baseball team on Tuesday won its Premier12 baseball championship opener in Taichung, defeating visiting Puerto Rico 6-1 in the two teams' Group B debut.
The victory was largely down to the performance of starting pitcher Chiang Shao-ching (江少慶). The right-hander who plays for the Columbus Clippers in the U.S. Minor League made 93 pitches in six inning, giving up one run on three hits while striking out five in the game played at Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium.
Source: WBSC YouTube channel
A two-run homerun by Lin Li (林立) gave Team Taiwan, competing under the name Chinese Taipei, a two-nothing lead in the bottom of the opening inning.
In took four innings before Puerto Rico rallied, closing the gap to 2-1 on two hits in the top of the fifth.
Taiwan promptly replied with a three-run fifth inning on two hits, an error and a sacrifice fly to widen the gap to 5-1 before adding another run in the sixth to give the home team a comfortable 6-1 lead, which it held until the end of the game.
The home team faces Venezuela Wednesday at Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium.
In other Group B action Tuesday, Japan beat Venezuela 8-4 in Taoyuan.
Sanctioned by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC), the 2019 edition of the Premier12 features the top 12 teams in the WBSC's 2018 year-end world rankings.
With baseball returning to the Summer Olympics for the first time since 2008, the quadrennial Premier12, first launched in 2015, has added importance this year as a Tokyo Olympic qualifying event.
The top two finishers in each of the three groups will advance to the final six-team Super Round to be held in Japan.
Taiwan will have to advance to the final six-team Super Round and finish above South Korea and Australia in the tournament, to secure a berth to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Thanks for any advice. I just want the navigation to drop down when I click on it and stay there until I click away or go to the next menu.

A: Need to remove all the repeating ID's. By definition ID must be unique. Change to class instead
You can try this:
 $('#nav > li').click(function () {
      $(this).siblings().find('ul.subs').hide();
      $(this).find('ul.subs').toggle();
  });

it accomplishes open/close on click. However it might be more user friendly using hover
DEMO
Similar but using hover
 $('#nav > li').hover(function () {
      $(this).siblings().find('ul.subs').hide();
      $(this).find('ul.subs').show();
  },function(){
       $(this).find('ul.subs').show();
  });

DEMO
Note: hover version can be accomplished with no script using CSS only

Sharp AQUOS LC-45G review: Sharp AQUOS LC-45G
By Kevin Miller
March 21, 2005 9:59 PM PST
The Good Full 1080p native resolution; attractive styling; comprehensive connectivity; excellent feature package.
The Bad Expensive; inconsistent color; cannot fully resolve 1,920x1,080 HD signals.
The Bottom Line If you must have a large-screen LCD, this one's a decent choice, although plasma does offer better value.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Sharp AQUOS LC-45G
Sharp LC-45GX6U
Sharp has long been a leader in LCD products, and the company is at the heart of heated competition between LCD and plasma for your big-screen flat-panel dollars. In LCD's favor, the price vs. size gap is narrowing rapidly, although it's nowhere near parity yet: you'll still pay a hefty premium for a big-screen LCD. At 45 inches diagonal, the Sharp LC-45GX6U is one of the largest direct-view LCD TVs money can buy, and its native 1080p resolution bests that of every plasma currently on the market. However, resolution is only one ingredient in picture quality, and while the big Sharp does some things well, it has too many performance issues to earn our full recommendation. For now, at least, like-size plasmas such as Panasonic's TH-50PHD7UY trump this Sharp in both image quality and value.
Editor's note: We have changed the rating in this review to reflect recent changes in our rating scale. Click here to find out more.
In terms of appearance and industrial design, the LC-45GX6U is quite impressive. Its outer frame is finished in a metallic gray, darker than the silver typical of some sets, and a black bezel surrounds the outer edge of the screen. The black strip lends to the beauty of the design and also improves the perceived contrast ratio.
The set comes in a stand-alone version, model LC-45GD6U, but the LC-45GX6U that we reviewed includes an outboard A/V controller that acts as an A/V source switcher. The controller is finished in the same metallic gray as the set itself, is the size of a standard A/V component, and routes all video signals to the panel via a 10-foot proprietary cable. A 33-foot version (model AN-HV6AV1, $199) is also available.
Sharp includes an integrated table stand with this set, which you can detach in favor of an optional wall mount if you so desire. Likewise, you can also remove the single-piece stereo speaker that runs along the bottom of the panel. If you prefer the appearance of side-mounted speakers, the LC-45GD4U may be more to your liking.
The backlit remote is quite large, with seemingly a zillion buttons in varying sizes and shapes, making it pretty awkward to use. We were disappointed to find that it doesn't have direct-access keys for input/source selection. The internal menu system is straightforward and fairly easy to navigate, although beginners may find the myriad options intimidating at first.

Q: PHP -> PDO Update Function using Foreach array merge The following code is supposed to check for the column names of a table. Then check to see if a corresponding variable has been $_POST and if it has add it to the $SQL. I believe there is a problem with the array that contains a series of arrays but I don't know how to dix it.
$where = $_POST['where'];
    $is = $_POST['is'];
    $table = $_POST['table'];
    $sql = "UPDATE $table SET";
    $array = array();

    $columnnames = columnnames('blog');
    foreach ($columnnames as $columnname){

        if($_POST[$columnname]){
            $sql .= " $columnname = :$columnname,";
            $array .= array(':$columnname' => $_POST[$columnname],);
        }

    }
    $sql = rtrim($sql,',');
    $array = rtrim($array,',');

    $sql .= " WHERE $where = '$is'";
    $q = $rikdb->prepare($sql);
    $q->execute($array);

For the sake of comprehension please except that $columnnames = columnnames('blog'); works as it does.

A: the problem is here $array .= array(':$columnname' => $_POST[$columnname],);
you have a , part of the value which is not literal. change it to be like
$array .= array(':$columnname' => $_POST[$columnname] . ",");

You can also add your column names and values to an array and implode(",", $array) so you don't have to use rtrim

A: Instead of using
$array .= array(':$columnname' => $_POST[$columnname],);

and applying rtrim on results, I'd suggest the easier and failsafe method:
$array[':$columnname'] = $_POST[$columnname];

A: Change this:
$array .= array(':$columnname' => $_POST[$columnname],);

to this:
$array[':$columnname'] = $_POST[$columnname];

and after that use rtrim only on $sql.

Sometimes I ask Philip what he's hearing when he plays his own music, and he points out things that I as a non-musician would never notice. It makes me hear his work completely differently. It's fascinating, and it's a side of him most people never get to see. We thought it would make for an intimate and special sort of evening to have that conversation onstage, with a piano, at St. Ann's Warehouse.

Skunk has been introduced to and influenced the cannabis market since the late 70s when growing skunk became an activity identical to high quality seedless marijuana production. The range of skunk seeds has grown as breeders developed different hybrids crossing it with various other cannabis strains. The first Skunk No.1 (AKA 'The Pure') was bred by Sam the Skunk man in the 1970s and so called because of its strong smell. He took an Afghani indica, 'Acapulco Gold', Mexican Sativa and Columbian Gold Sativa to breed, blend and create a very strong cannabis variety full of flavor and rich in THC.
Skunk No.1 seed from Royal Queen Seeds is the strain that changed cannabis cultivation. The original Indica-Sativa hybrid that has astonished weed lovers for more than a quarter-century is now available as a feminized variety!
Usually, Skunk No.1 feminized seeds better perform indoors under lights rather than in the wild, but it will also thrive in 'greenhouse environments'. The more intensively nurtured, cultivated and loved the Skunk marijuana is, the better the yield and the higher the THC content of between 10% and 14% with many having still higher levels.
Skunk marijuana feminized seeds are typically early maturing (flowering period 45 - 50 days), stable and highly potent with a relatively good yield of 100 gr. of dried product per plant. Growth and flowering are mostly-Indica in appearance, though mature plants gain more height than pure Indicas when blooming. The extra-dark green of this strain's foliage comes from her Afghan ancestors. Flowering is very fast and Skunk No.1 produces robust stems and branches to support her superior yields. The maximum high is 120-150 cm. Short internode gaps explode into dense, rounded bud-clusters which merge into huge, heavy colas by harvest time with a sweet pungent skunk smell and taste with a stunning combination of stone and high!

'I'm Gonna Get Crushed': Ex-Trump Aide Steve Bannon Pleads His Case In 'The Brink'
By Ron Elving • Mar 13, 2019
A new documentary provides an unsparing look at former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, including his casual talk of apocalypse and trademark look of dissolution.

Federal judges have sentenced other former aides of Donald Trump to prison, but a filmmaker is seeking a different kind of judgment on Steve Bannon, the onetime guru who thinks he's the one who got Trump elected president.
In filmmaker Alison Klayman's The Brink, viewers are invited to render the kind of judgment that will not be subject to any presidential pardon power.
Klayman's film is nearly two hours of unbridled Bannon with little battening. We are invited to marvel anew at all the hyperbole and dishevelment, the casual talk of apocalypse and the trademark look of dissolution.
But we are also shown what some have found charming, even irresistible about the man. We see fans clapping and giggling at the prospect of meeting him. We see him holding forth in living rooms and lodge halls, revving up red-state crowds large and small.
This is where we hear Bannon speak of Trump's election as an act of God, recruiting activists by adding that "Divine intervention needs human agency."
He can sometimes entertain, as Klayman has said, as though he were in a comedy club. And so he seems to own a stage even in Toronto, of all places, entertaining a largely skeptical, if not hostile, audience in a concert auditorium. ("I've got all evening to convert you folks!")
Klayman spent months of 2017 and 2018 tracking Bannon to a succession of lairs, many in luxurious European locales. (One such suite, walls aching with art, overlooks a Venetian waterway over which looms the St. Mark's Basilica.)
"I'm gonna get crushed in this film," Bannon wails at one point. "She's gotten every five-star hotel..."
At times he speaks straight to the camera, making pronouncements about the righteous American working-class uprising that ushered Trump into the Oval Office. More often, he is seen gazing out windows into the middle distance, muttering soliloquies — wistful but always self-aware. Does he forget he's on camera?
"Steve Bannon is always performing for every person who is in the room," Klayman says. "Even when he's alone."
Why do people submit to such invasions of privacy? At a screening in Washington on Tuesday night, Klayman introduced her co-producer, Marie Therese Guirgis, who turns out to have produced, among other things, the cooperation of the film's subject.
Guirgis had worked for Bannon during his years as a film producer a decade ago. She liked him; he trusted her. Next thing you knew, Bannon was agreeing to have Klayman quietly present, shooting and recording as he went about his business.
Klayman says she made a conscious decision: "I would let him underestimate me and never let myself underestimate him."
The real art in such cinema verite is often in the editing, and Klayman (known for her film on Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei) has cut this film with drive, perception and purpose. We are with her subject in his highs and lows, great moments, small, manic moods and dark ones.
Adding a certain sense of faded luster in the film are the friends and hangers on we see, from a nephew who brings Bannon his Coke or kombucha to Trump sycophant Sam Nunberg ("I got Trump onto Twitter") to the former Goldman Sachs president, John Thornton, who hangs out and encourages Bannon to be the intellectual entrepreneur for the populist-nationalist uprisings of our time.
In one remarkably unguarded moment, Bannon rebukes Nunberg for calling Trump a friend. "When you reach [Trump's] level you don't have grundoons for friends," Bannon says, sitting across from Nunberg on a private jet. "Guys like you and Corey [Lewandowski] and [Roger] Stone think you're his friends."
In the end the portrait of Bannon, the one-time publisher of Breitbart who ran the final months of Trump's 2016 campaign, is neither empathetic nor sympathetic. It is unsparing with its subject and his evident sadness.
We see the Bannon who segued from campaign chief to "chief strategist" in the White House, holding that title for most of 2017. But we also see the Bannon who took the fall for the political disaster following the white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Va.
Trump tried to straddle that crisis by saying there were "good people on both sides." It didn't work, and Bannon was soon a civilian again.
Since his banishment from the White House, Bannon has given interviews to journalists and memoirists and sought to find his own space in the world of politics that was redefined by his former boss.
He takes great pride in the Trump victory, and he takes his share of credit for it. In fact, he seems semi-obsessed with Trumpian energy and formula that worked in 2016. He shows real depression over the idea of losing the Republican majority in the House in the 2018 midterms.
He warns all who will listen in the fall of 2018 that a Democratic majority in the House will control the appropriations process (as they have) and block funding for the border wall (as they have) and potentially move to impeach (which they still might). He is especially fixated on the fate of the wall, which he calls "the key to the whole Trump presidency."
When the November 2018 election results come in, Bannon seems discouraged at the prospect that his timetable will now need some adjusting. But it is, he allows, a historical process with an open-ended time frame.
"This is a global revolution," he muses. "And I'm just very lucky to be at the vanguard."
Being the tip of that spear not only appeals to Bannon but gives him a mission for his post-Trump life. He is building a "global movement" against globalism, no irony intended. And his definition of globalism includes immigration, the European Union, trade deals, multinational peacekeeping missions and all those elitists he calls "the Davos crowd."
France's far-right party Front National President Marine Le Pen, right, applauds Bannon after his speech to the party's annual congress, in 2018 in Lille, France.

Much of the film depicts Bannon's networking with a ragtag assortment of European Trump wannabes. The more major figures of nationalism and right-wing populism, such as France's Marine Le Pen or Hungary's Viktor Orban, are seen only in stock film clips and stills. The participants in Bannon's various conclaves are more on the level of Nigel Farage (an impresario of Brexit in Great Britain) and various nativists and right-wing activists from Western Europe.
At one point, Bannon kvetches about prototypes for the website and literature of his organization, which he wants to call "The Movement." The designs look cheap, not "classic" enough. He denounces and browbeats his subordinates by cell phone.
In the film, Bannon is interviewed by Paul Lewis, a writer for The Guardian. Lewis appeared with Klayman and Guirgis on Tuesday night in Washington, and acknowledged Bannon's claim of intercontinental importance. Nonetheless, Lewis insists, Bannon is simply not a factor in European populism. What Bannon is, Lewis adds, is "very effective at portraying himself as enormously important to that movement."
In the end, that may well have been Bannon's intent in cooperating in the making of The Brink. But the story the film tells is ultimately quite different. The film is scheduled for general release on March 29.

China Institute Gallery Presents Art of the Mountain: Through the Chinese Photographer's Lens
Wang Wusheng, Huangshan N008, 2004
Art of the Mountain: Through the Chinese Photographer's Lens
China Institute Gallery
February 8 – December 2, 2018
NEW YORK – An exhibition of contemporary photography will be on view at China Institute Gallery from February 8 through December 2, 2018. Art of the Mountain: Through the Chinese Photographer's Lenswill survey work from more than 20 photographers. With over 60 photographs – many on view for the first time in the U.S – Art of the Mountain will present photographs that pay homage to the major mountain ranges of China.
In Chinese legend, mountains are the pillars that hold up the sky. Mountains were seen as places that nurture life. Their veneration took the form of rituals, retreat from social society, and aesthetic appreciation with a defining role in Chinese art and culture.
Art of the Mountain will consist of three sections: The Revered Mountains of China will introduce the geography, history, legends, and culture that are associated with Chinese mountains and will include photographs by Hou Heliang, Kang Songbai and Kang Liang, Li Daguang, Lin Maozhao, Li Xueliang, Lu Hao, Zhang Anlu, Xiao Chao, Yan Shi, Wang Jing, Zhang Jiaxuan, Zhang Huajie, and Zheng Congli.
The renowned Chinese landscape painting aesthetic and its influence on contemporary photography is explored in the second section. Landscape Aesthetics in Photography will present work by Wang Wusheng (born 1945) who has spent much of his career photographing Mount Huangshan, also known as the Yellow Mountain. Located in Anhui province in northern China, Mount Huangshan with its 72 peaks has enchanted landscape painters for centuries with its extraordinary beauty. Inspired by the spectacular nature of the Mount Huangshan, Wang Wusheng has documented the mountain in all seasons, expressing its "inner worlds" and referencing the philosophical and aesthetic concepts of Chinese landscape painting and the ancient quest to purify the spirit and find renewal.
The last section, New Landscape Photography, will showcase artists using photography and new techniques to express their thoughts on the role of mountains in society, including the work of Hong Lei, Lin Ran, Lu Yanpeng, Shao Wenhuan, Taca Sui, Xiao Xuan'an, Yan Changjiang, Yang Yongliang, Yao Lu, Zeng Han, Gao Hui and Feng Yan.
The exhibition is curated by Willow Weilan Hai, Director, China Institute Gallery; Jerome Silbergeld, P. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Professor of Chinese Art History at Princeton University, Emeritus; and photography critic and photographer Jiang Rong.
"Art of the Mountain articulates a vision of Chinese culture and documents its contributions to civilization," said Willow Weilan Hai, chief curator of the exhibition. "The search for eternal happiness, a happiness of spirit that reflects harmony, where nature heals all, is an essential part of Chinese culture. Chinese artists are employing photography to depict nature – and man's complicated relationship with it – often derived from Chinese philosophy about the natural world."
Among the highlights in the exhibition, which focuses on photographs from 1990 to 2017, will be aerial photographs by Hou Heliang (born 1953), telling stories of man's impact on the environment in Shandong province during the last 30 years. Taca Sui (born 1984) whose work is collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, dedicated himself to the study of China's ancient poetry collection, The Book of Odes, considered a window into early Chinese civilization. His photography is infused with poetic stillness and the absence of human activity.
Yao Lu (born 1967) employs photomontage that reflects classical Chinese painting styles. Upon closer examination, his mountains and landscapes are in fact construction sites scaled in different proportions and comment on China's rapid industrialization. A celebrated mountaineer, Wang Jing (born 1975) is known for climbing the highest mountain peaks on earth to create her photographs. In fact, she holds the women's world record for the Explorers Grand Slam, consisting of scaling the "Seven Summits," the highest mountains on every continent including Everest, and hiking the North and South poles, which she accomplished in 143 days.
Yan Changijang and Xiao Xuan'an have collaborated on a series entitled Return to the Mountain, 2010-2011, which is reminiscent of traditional Chinese ink paintings and investigates man's relationship with nature. Notes Yan, "We wanted to express longing. Our society has become so complex, people wish to return to a sense of peace. I think this series expresses this quality of modern life."
Art of the Mountain: Through the Chinese Photographer's Lens marks the first contemporary exhibition to be held at China Institute Gallery's new downtown location. China Institute moved to their current location in the fall of 2015. China Institute Gallery has become known for presenting contemporary Chinese art within the context of Chinese art history.

Q: Joomla componente/module to list files on folders and group them by subfolders Im new using Joomla version 2.5, and I need to show on an article or through a component or module, a the whole list of files stored on an specific folder with subfolders to guest users, in order to allow them downloading files from it. Also, I need to group them by subfolders.
I've search, but the most I can find is to show the directory tree to browse, and I don't wanna guest users to know the folder/subfolder structure.

A: This isn't really a StackOverflow question… anywho…
An extension that comes to mind is DOCman but I haven't used it for years and the learning curve used to be a bit steep.
I would suggest looking through the dozens of download extensions on the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED), specifically try the Downloads section or even maybe the Paid Downloads section if you're looking for an eCommerce type solution.

The Sustainability Pavilion is born of a tradition of remarkable architecture built for the world exposition stage.
The 29,159 sqm Pavilion plot is set adjacent to the Sustainability Zone of Expo 2020 Dubai Site, acting as a primary anchor to one of four main entries to the Expo sit. The Plot for the sustainability Pavilion comprises a broadly triangular plot of 180m long by between 75m and 200m wide.
The pavilion will produce 4GWh of electricity a year through solar panels — enough to allow a Nissan Leaf to drive halfway to Mars, Expo staff estimate. That will be more than the building needs to operate. Excess power will be fed into Dewa's (Dubai Water and Electricity Authority) grid. It will also produce up to 22,000 litres of water a day, extracted from atmospheric humidity and recycling grey water. Once the Expo ends, the pavilion itself will be recycled as a centre for science and for children.While the pavilion will exceed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum standards and will be the centrepiece for Expo's green theme.

Media attention can boost careers, generate millions of dollars, and make dreams come true. It can also destroy reputations and derail carefully laid business plans. All publicity is not good publicity.
No one knows this better than Howard Bragman. For more than thirty years he has helped prominent people—movie stars, business leaders, philanthropists their messages out, in good times and bad.
He illustrates his lessons with juicy examples, from Frank Sinatra and Madonna to Coca-Cola and Monica Lewinsky. Whether you're trying to build a business, advance your career, or change the world, there's much to be learned from Bragman's insights and experience.
Howard Bragman would like to thank Leeza Gibbons for contributing the Foreword to this book, and Harvey Levin writing the Afterword.
At the end of the seventh day, God realized he needed a publicist. So God made a couple of calls. Everybody recommended Howard Bragman. The rest is history."


New for 2015 are the UCAS data scanners – unfortunately due a technical issue, UCAS were unable to scan everyone into the event, but those institutions who had purchased a scanner were able to scan the students as they came around (if they could find the piece of paper). I spoke to one university who were having great success at capturing data using the scanner, but then another near the far end of the room were not having much success, students seemed to have lost their papers by then! An area to watch as the convention season progresses.
Quite a few institutions made use of the shell schemes as their back-drop this year, attaching panels to the boards creating a great advertising hoarding…. BUT…. Without possibly enough thought on where to put all the boxes of prospectuses they would need, let alone their coats and bags – logistics need to take into account the whole experience for the team attending – not just the creative look.
TABLES…. Aaarghhh my pet hate, were still far too much in abundance – now don't get me wrong, I don't mind a table, but in its rightful place, at the very back or side of the stand, and used as a display stand and a hideaway for prospectus boxes…. NOT at the front of the stand with people stood, or even worse, SAT behind it.
You can't exhibit and hide behind… create a stage and act on it.


Virtual Reality is a three-dimensional, computer generated environment; which you can look around 360 degrees, just like the real world. The user wears a VR headset with a high resolution display(s) boasting a 90Hz refresh rate and 110 degrees field of view. Two lenses create a stereoscopic view which mimics the way the eyes see, and causes users to believe they are immersed in the virtual world. The headset is tracked so when you move your head in reality, your view is aligned in VR.
What VR systems do we have?
In the studio, we have an Oculus Rift and an HTC Vive. The Oculus Rift brings you to virtual worlds right from your seat, includes a controller for interaction, and now has hand motion controllers. The Vive is capable of room-scale VR, allowing the user to walk around a virtual space, and interact with the world via two hand motion controllers!
What can I do with the VR systems?
We have several experiences and games available for each system including Tilt Brush, QuiVR, Accounting, Job Simulator and more. Come by and check them out!
Who can use the VR Systems?
Any Binghamton University students, staff and faculty may use the VR systems. The first time you visit to use a VR system and ETS member will run you through a brief training session.

Divide New York into two states? People have a strong opinion in one direction
New Yorkers opposed dividing New York into two states -- New York City and its suburbs as one state and the other 53 counties as another state.
Divide New York into two states? People have a strong opinion in one direction New Yorkers opposed dividing New York into two states -- New York City and its suburbs as one state and the other 53 counties as another state. Check out this story on DemocratandChronicle.com: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2019/10/15/divide-new-york-into-two-states-people-have-strong-opinion/3984202002/
Joseph Spector, Albany Bureau Published 11:35 a.m. ET Oct. 15, 2019 | Updated 12:03 p.m. ET Oct. 15, 2019
ALBANY - For decades, some New York lawmakers have introduced bills that would split New York into two states, arguing upstate and downstate should go their own ways.
Don't do it, voters said.
New Yorkers opposed dividing New York into two states — New York City and its suburbs as one state and the other 53 counties as another state — by 66% to 25%, according to a Siena College poll released Tuesday.
"While some have talked about breaking New York into two states and there is a bill before the Legislature to do that, there is little support for such a move by any demographic group," said Siena College poll spokesman Steven Greenberg.
For at least 24 of the past 28 years, New York lawmakers, in most cases upstate Republicans, have put in bills at the state Capitol that would look to break New York into two states, a review earlier this year by the USA TODAY Network New York found.
The effort has been largely the result of frustration in upstate over more liberal policies pushed by Democrats from the New York City area. The dissension because more pronounced this year after Democrats won control in 2018 of all of state government for the first time in a decade.
But studies have shown that making upstate its own state would have financial repercussions: Tax revenue from New York City is the main money source for the state, and the city sends more to Albany than it gets back.
Perhaps voters also recognized it might not be the best idea, the poll found.
"Nearly three-quarters of New York City voters, more than two-thirds of downstate suburbanites and a clear majority of upstaters oppose dividing New York into two states," Greenberg said.
"It is also opposed by more than three-quarters of Democrats, 56 percent of independents and half of Republicans."
Republicans, however, continue to introduce bills seeking to split up the state.
Assemblyman David DiPietro, R-East Aurora, Erie County, has two of them: One would study breaking New York into two states; the other would split New York into three autonomous regions but remain a single state.
"With New York State being such a large and diverse state, one size does not fit all when it comes to governance," the bill said.
"Population disparity in regards to New York City leaves little understanding to the rest of New York State."

Will Buckley looking to make up for lost time
Nathan Carr
Will Buckley is determined to prove his worth to Wanderers in the Whites' next two games against Leeds United and Birmingham City, two of his former employers.
The 28-year-old has seen his season disrupted by injury so far, with the winger conceding Bolton fans are yet to see the best of him.
But having started the Trotters' last three games before the international break, his longest run in the starting eleven since December last year, the wideman is determined to push on and leave his mark between now and the end of the season.
"I feel good at the minute," Buckley told The Bolton News. "You need a few games to get back to your best and it's been a bit stop-start for me this season.
"But I've started the last three now and I feel like I can really kick on and do a job for the team."
The flying winger made a combined total of 14 appearances whilst on loan with both Leeds and Birmingham, scoring once for Blues in January 2016.
Having made four appearances during his time at Elland Road, Buckley is keen to return to his former stomping ground with a point to prove on Good Friday.
"My time at Leeds didn't go well," he said. "I was only there for a short time but I didn't play and it would be nice for me to go back there and get a win, maybe a goal.
"They are a big club and they started really well when they beat us on the opening day of the season. I thought they looked a really good team.
"We have picked up a lot since then so I think it will be a lot closer game."
Unbeaten in their last three and have lost only just once from their last six, Wanderers will be looking to maintain their current form going into Easter weekend.
But despite their upturn in form, Buckley is taking nothing for granted ahead of the Sky Bet Championship run-in.
"The start we had, it was like throwing 10 games away," Buckley said.
"We haven't had a chance to relax all season so we're not about to start now.
"I'm happy with where we are with eight games to go but there are some big ones left to play."
Leeds United vs Bolton Wanderers on 30 Mar 18

Calin Popescu Tariceanu: PNL is led by an illegitimate team, a tow of Cotroceni
The leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), Calin Popescu Taricenu, reacted on Friday to the Alina Goghiu's statements, who didn't exclude a governance alliance together with ALDE, but without the Alliance's co-chairman; he stated that his party will not cooperate with a PNL led by a team that the voters illegitimated.
"ALDE's position, not just my personal position, which was adopted inside the democratic mechanisms of the party, regarding a possible dialogue or a political cooperation with PNL, was and remains consistent. We will cooperate in one way or another with PNL when this party will put the Liberal values and the values of the rule of law on the forefront, and when it will stop encouraging the abuse of the institutions of force of the state against any citizen, regardless of the pretext", stated the ALDE leader.
He appreciates that the legitimacy of the current PNL leadership was poor from the start, because of the way it was imposed by President Iohannis, and it gradually damaged as a result of losing the Liberal identity of the party and because of turning PNL into a tow of Cotroceni, "which reality is confirmed by the failure in the local elections".
"The two PNL Co-Chairmen are not better regarding the trust, since they are placed well below the party's level. As an answer-conclusion to Mrs. Gorghiu's idea, ALDE will not cooperate with a PNL led by this team that was illegitimated by the voters and by its own performance, with a PNL for which the word 'Liberal' in the party's name was emptied of content", stated Calin Popescu Tariceanu, according to a press release sent to Mediafax.
The ALDE Co-Chair also said that by commenting on attracting ALDE to the governance together with PNL, Gorghiu has confirmed her statement about "plans concocted in secret labs" in order to maintain PNL in power at any price.
"Did she say it because she wasn't careful? Did she say it in a hurry, because of arrogance, or because of ignorance? Or maybe she decided to reveal the secretly concocted plan and to waive at the current role of PNL to be a tow of Cotroceni and at the role of the occult laboratories obstructing democracy and the rule of law? It's hard to say. (…) If we look back to the transformation of the anticorruption fight into a pretext for eliminating inconvenient opponents and politicians with the help of the files manufactured by DNA in cooperation with SRI, yeas, I say Mrs. Gorghiu is right, and I understand why she's not nervous at all and why she says that the parliamentary majority will be formed very quickly. Doesn't Dragnea want a national union Government? There's no problem. What for the independent Justice is? Doesn't Tariceanu want national union Government? There's no problem. What for do we have DNA? And, generally speaking, is there anybody staying against us? There's no problem. 'There's no innocent person, but only persons we haven't deal enough'", the President of the Senate stated.
In his opinion, Alina Gorghiu's statements represent the acceptance of the fact that "regardless of the will expressed by the voters at the polls, PNL will lead the future parliamentary majority and will provide the PM, either be it disguised in an independent or in a technocrat"
PNL Co-Chair Alina Gorghiu stated on Thursday that PNL will not have 50 percent plus 1 at the parliamentary elections not even if it does a "stretched Tsukahara", saying that she will have a talk to UDMR, USR, if it enters the Parliament, and that she doesn't exclude a majority with ALDE, without Tariceanu.
"Let's put our feet on the ground and say that neither PNL, nor PSD will have absolute majority. We cannot have 50 percent plus 1 even if we make 'stretched Tsukahara', as the late Iordanescu said. It depends on who will enter the Parliament. UDMR will be the first dialogue option, which we never missed in any way. Neither the former PNL missed a dialogue with them, nor the former PSD, nor the current PNL will miss the dialogue with UDMR, because they are a very reliable, loyal and honest party at the governance. Otherwise, t will depend a lot of the parliamentary formula", stated Gorghiu in an interview for DCNews.
"I wouldn't have any problem to have a dialogue in order to form a majority with USR, if they will reach the electoral threshold", she said, underlying that she doesn't exclude a majority with ALDE, "regardless of what Tariceanu is saying today". "I don't exclude a majority with ALDE. I didn't say that I will form the majority with Mr. Tariceanu", PNL Co-Chair added.
She suggested that the ALDE parliamentarians will not resist to the invitation to enter the Government.
"Show me a case since 1990 until today, when the parliamentary majority wasn't formed if the President assigns the PM mandate to a party, saying: "You, PNL, form the Government!", as it will actually be the case now, since we have enough votes and we'll have the capacity to form the parliamentarian majority so that we will have a stable Government. As for forming a majority when the President offers the possibility to form the Government to a specific party, I believe that this could be arranged very quickly. I don't have any doubt that we'll succeed to form this parliamentary majority in order to provide Romania with a Government", Gorghiu asserted.

Give and Take Compliment Cards at Design Museum Boston's First 'First Friday'
The free fliers you'll find are artistic—and also just plain nice.

Design Museum Boston's new store is getting into the First Friday game, and they're diving in with a positive and interactive activity for their first First Friday on August 1.
In addition to freebies like chocolate from Taza, juice from Cocobeet, music by DJ DayGlow, and window art drawn by Collective Next, attendees will also receive 600 signed artworks via Moo.com by graphic artist Rob Lowe, who also goes by "Supermundane."
The limited edition works are "complimentary" in multiple ways. One: they are free like the rest of the event. Two: Each flier bares a complimentary message. One hundred numbered prints of six different typographic designs have been made. Attendees are encouraged to "take compliments" from the Design Museum Boston Store on Friday, and if it so pleases them, to also give the compliments to others.
Lowe's designs are elegant and sweet—they deliver simple messages anyone could appreciate, such as "You're splendid" and "I think you're marvelous." In other words, they're the perfect "oh, no special occasion" gift for family members, friends, or even as an ice-breaker with someone new. And hey, if your crush thinks it's creepy, just let them know, "No, no! It's art!"
The First Friday event marks the debut of fliers at Moo.com, which also produces business cards, letterheads, note cards, postcards, and stickers.
Free, Friday, August 1, 4-7 p.m., Design Museum Boston Store, 70 East India Row, Boston, facebook.com.

I don't talk about it much because I'm afraid how people react and worry that no one will want to be around me if they know, but I struggle with anxiety a lot, particularly social anxiety. (I'm still not sure I'm going to actually put this out there but if you're reading this, well I guess I have.) And it's not just new people and large groups that freak me out ('tho they do) but even the prospect of getting together with a girlfriend I've known for years. I worry that I'm not smart enough, funny enough, interesting enough, thin enough (!) — just enough, period. I avoid more things than I try and fret obsessively in the lead-up to the things I've said yes to, and then overanalyze every little perceived misstep afterwards. (If I haven't cancelled at the last minute. Which brings its own set of worries.) It's exhausting. And isolating. I'm telling you all this because I know there's got to be someone reading this post who can relate, someone who feels crippled by anxiety like I do, someone who really has to push themselves to try small things. If it's you, I want you to know that you're not alone, that you can do things even if you think you're going to die. And you might come out the other side better for it. (You might still overthink things 'til you're a wreck, but you might be proud of yourself too.) What do I know about it? Well I've spent the past month doing a 30-day challenge at a local barre and cycle studio, The Dailey Method, and as much as it was physically challenging, it was an exercise in mental and emotional toughness even more so. The Dailey Method comped me a free month in exchange for a post, and I want to share some of the things that helped me not only meet my goal, but exceed it, and come out feeling stronger all-round. As the instructors often reminded us, the mind is ready to quit long before the body. Here are some of the strategies I used to help me push on through. I hope they'll help you too.
Know what you're getting into Researching something before I do it almost always takes down my anxiety a few notches, so I read nearly everything I could find on The Dailey Method and its 30-day challenges. If you've never heard of The Dailey Method, it's a barre (and more and more, also cycle) fitness studio first opened in San Francisco in 2000 by Jill Dailey, that has expanded to 63 locations including Ottawa's own in the Glebe.
There's a variety of classes to choose from: five all-level barre classes; one gentle class including a self-care connective tissue treatment called MELT Method; one yoga + meditation class and the new cycle classes.
I'd never done a barre class before or been a fitness class person, preferring to do my own thing on the stairclimber or the treadmill at the gym and get to get in and get out without having to actually talk to anyone. And I've always been dubious about the effectiveness of classes. I mean, how do you know how many calories you're burning without a machine to tell you? (I've been calorie-obsessed forever, but more on that in another post.) Would a barre class really help lean me out and tone up? Would it be worth my time? Would the class move too fast for me to keep up?
I'm happy to tell you that even tho I've only been going for a month, I feel stronger and my clothes fit better. I've been eating healthier too, trying to eat better foods to fuel my workouts and help me get leaner. Besides the physical results, I'm feeling proud of myself for trying something new and sticking with it. I felt like a fish out of water for my first couple of times at the barre, but the instructors always move around the room so they can see when anyone is floundering and help you get on track. And they'll always stay after to class to help you with any questions you might have. I like that they all take the time to learn your name and say hello — from the first day I felt like I wasn't just joining a fitness studio but a community. The classes are always different and challenging, the music is awesome and I feel like I'm getting a great workout, all making it a place I really like coming back to.
Set a realistic goal The Dailey Method's 30-day challenges are an opportunity to push yourself to do your best. You set your own goal, write it on the the whiteboard and track your progress as you go with a sticker for every class you complete. Members are free to participate if they want to, and skip it if they don't. The Dailey Method invited me to do the challenge along with bloggers Amy from Amy in 613, Loukia from Loulou's Views, Marilou from 20 York Street, Chantal from Mode XLusive, Katie from YOW City Style and Jayme from The Pacing Life. I set my challenge at 20 classes in 30 days (a mix of barre and cycle) and secretly hoped I'd be able to knock out a few more than that — maybe even be a rockstar with 30 in 30!
The first two classes were hardest, physically and emotionally. I did barre the first day and cycle the second and tried to wish myself invisible in the back of the room. In the barre class my legs were super shaky ('tho I'd read that it's totally normal — at The Dailey Method they like to think of it as your muscles applauding — "embrace the shake!") and I felt like a bit of a weakling because I couldn't hold every pose. I'd done spin classes before but the bikes (which are ultra-modern and awesome!) and the pacing were different and it took me a while to figure out how to adjust my resistance and speed to get in sync with the class. Just before a final push at the end they do what's called a "moving meditation", turning the lights down and playing a slower song that you're free to bike to at your own pace. (You can use it to cool down or push yourself harder or both.) That first time biking in the dark with the instrumental track made me want to bawl. Here I was about to finish my second class, two days in a row! I was overcome with emotion realizing that I was actually doing it, that I could actually do it, and would come back for more. And I did, for nine more days in a row before feeling like I needed a break and took a day off. (Breaks are good! Your body needs them!) I continued going regularly before coming down with the flu but got right back on that horse as soon as I was better. 23 classes in 30 days, baby! I feel fitter, fabber, and more than a little proud of myself.
Talk to people (or don't) Some days I feel more confident and make small talk, some days I don't and barely say a peep. Some days I deliberately arrive just before the class starts so there's no time for talking anyway, and some days I force myself to arrive a few minutes early and ask the person next to me if they live in the neighbourhood or whether they've done a class before. Remember that conversation is a two-way street, so don't beat yourself up if you don't always initiate it. And that some people may be just as anxious as you. You're not alone, but chances are you won't feel less alone until you made a connection. So try to try. When the time is right for you.
Remember why you came They say this a lot in the cycle class, particularly when the going gets tough and you have to dig deep to find the resolve to keep going. What did you come for? What do you want out of class? Remember that and resolve to get it. For me, it was a couple of things. First, I hadn't worked in months and was tired of feeling and looking schlumpy, especially after indulging on the #LetsGoMaple blogger trip to Casino Rama and Ontario's Lake Country in early March. I wanted to tone up, maybe lose a few el bees and get those feel-good endorphins you get from a great workout. I'd also read about The Dailey Method here and there since Sarah Thompson and her hubby Jamie Rigby opened the Ottawa location just two years ago and was curious to try it. (I'm back and forth to the Glebe several times a week so I'd probably read their sign 52,000 times.) Plus I was reading Get Your Sh*t Together: How To Stop Worrying About What You Should Do So You Can Finish What You Need To Do And Start Doing What You Want To Do (which I highly recommend) and felt like it was about damn time I get my sh*t together and make fitness a priority again. In some ways 30 days seems long and in other ways, it's hardly any time at all. I wanted to make the most of every class and push myself to get stronger. Remember your WHY and make it happen.
Reward yourself For getting to class, for finishing a class, for booking another class, for every step you take toward meeting your goal. Rewarding yourself will help you keep on keepin' on. I treated myself to small indulgences along the way — a pair of cute barre socks from The Dailey Method's highly covetable collection of fitness wear and accessories right in the studio, post-workout snacks and tea at the Whole Foods on my way home, and I might have ordered this cute purse (okay I totally ordered the purse, but I'm calling it my Mother's Day gift to me as well). And because I'm so happy with how I did and want to keep it up, I'm rewarding myself with another month of barre and cycle with The Dailey Method's $79 special for new clients. And I can't wait to get started.
She's done just that, and so much more.

Bravo to the Brave…..I know it isn't easy but soooo many people will feel better reading your blog to hear that they are not the only ones. And – you are doing it again. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!
And as far as your work out program – Wow, wish I had it available to me for my daily morning workouts at Good Life.
Oh, Julie, I think you are fabulous! I can totally relate to your social anxiety. I am you times 10; my biggest problem is my lack of confidence, and I don't really like myself most days, so why would others. I admire you so much for your honesty and your courage, too. When I think of you, I envision a talented and creative and beautiful, kind and generous person, and I think you are awesome for all that you do!!
Thank you for sharing Julie, anxiety can be debilitating, so I very happy you pushed yourself, and you were content.
Brava! By sharing your vulnerabilities, you have shown your extraordinary strength!!!! There are so many of us who have similar anxieties, fears, doubts. You are not alone. There will be many helped by your courage — perhaps even inspiring them to share as well. XO.
Thank you! I was so excited to share with our staff. You have warmed all our hearts. See you soon!
You are an inspiration my friend. I am so glad that you not only pushed yourself to go but you also rocked it. You are a powerhouse of a woman in a tiny, petite frame that is so much more than enough. You are everything!

Onyx Boox Max Lumi2 & Note Air2, hands on: Capable E Ink tablets for content consumption and creation
The 10.3-inch Note Air2 is more portable and affordable, while the larger (13.3-inch) and more expensive Max Lumi2 offers more storage space and longer battery life.

Onyx says it is the only company that makes E Ink devices with screen sizes ranging from six inches to 13 inches. I was recently sent its latest offerings, the 13.3-inch Boox Max Lumi2 and the smaller 10.3-inch Boox Note Air2. There are some shared characteristics, including the ability to function both as an e-reader and as a content creation device. Also, both devices deploy the same Android 11 operating system and user interface, and both use the same stylus.
Using E Ink devices for content creation is not as rare as it once was. E-reader specialist Kobo launched its Elipsa earlier this year, for example, while reMarkable is on the second version of its tablet, the reMarkable 2.
Onyx devices are available direct online, where the Onyx Boox Max Lumi2 costs $879.99 and Boox Note Air2 costs $499.99. Both come with a sleeve and set of five stylus tips. In the UK, I found the devices without the bundled accessories at Amazon for £799.99 and £499.99 respectively.

Both tablets have a similar user interface and mode of operation, with finger sweeps and taps supported as well as stylus input. The larger Max Lumi2 has a fingerprint scanner below the screen; this is absent in the smaller Note Air2 model, although both devices can be password protected.
Templates are available for creating content on the Onyx Boox devices.

The Boox devices provide access to a library of books, but it's a pretty feeble collection of public domain works. However, e-book fans should not despair. Both devices run on a version of Android 11, which means there's Play Store access to e-book reading options such as the Kindle and Kobo readers, as well as Google Play Books, Audible and Libby (used by my own public library service and many others). There are also news apps from The Guardian, the BBC, The Economist, The New York Times and more.
A USB-C connection to a computer allows content to be copied to a Boox device, and I found that worked very smoothly. Alternatively you can use BooxDrop, a QR-code based system that allows wireless content transfer to a Boox. It's a little convoluted, but it does work and supports file sharing from laptop, phone or tablet. Further data sharing comes via OneNote, Dropbox and Evernote, as well as the 5GB of provided cloud storage per Boox device, with login via the device's settings area. With many document formats supported, you should be able to access what you need.
There is a version of Chrome on board, and while this obviously renders web pages in monochrome, it functions quite well.
When it comes to data entry the ridged stylus is easy to hold, making it comfortable to create or edit/annotate existing documents. The smaller Note Air2 has a marked spot along one long edge where the stylus can be held by a magnet. I could not find a similar spot on the larger Max Lumi2, although its stylus has the same marking.

Original content is placed into templates. Blank portrait and landscape templates are included, users can create their own (these are stored under a tab labelled 'local'), and further designs can be download. There are plenty of drawing tools, and several different brush and pen styles can be configured and switched between by tapping at a menu at the top of the screen. This is ideal for creating art projects, schematic drawings, flowcharts and the like.
Both the Max Lumi2 and the Note Air2 have microphones and speakers, and recordings can be added into notes. Handwriting recognition is included: it's a bit slow, but if you write fairly neatly it works well enough.
The user-configurable 'navigation ball' gives easy access to frequently-used functions.
The user interface is fairly easy to navigate, although you'll need to familiarise yourself with various menus dotted around the workspace, and there's a 'navigation ball' to master. This can be called up at any time, with nine configurable pop-out buttons providing quick access to your most frequently used functions.
The build of both devices is solid, and each feels well weighted given its size. The smaller Note Air2 has a nicer design, with its blue and orange colour scheme adding a certain panache. The larger Max Lumi2 is rather less interesting to look at, which is a shame.
Onyx has done well to deliver a rounded user experience that caters for document creation and annotation, while also supporting e-book reading via both the two most popular formats Kindle and Kobo, and a popular public library format in Libby. Synchronisation across devices should mean a seamless experience for fans of the two proprietary formats and the public library loans system.
Onyx Boox devices will inevitably be something extra to carry rather than a replacement for your existing phone, tablet or laptop. There are certainly situations where they can add value -- but which form factor is the best fit?
The 13.3-inch Boox Max Lumi2 (left) costs $879.99, while the 10.3-inch Note Air2 (right) costs $499.99.

There are several factors to weigh up. The smaller Note Air2 is easier to tote and considerably cheaper, while the larger and more expensive Max Lumi2 offers more storage space and longer battery life. I also found using the split-screen feature easier on the larger screen. That said, the Max Lumi2's footprint is almost identical to that of my laptop.
Whichever device you choose, Onyx will deliver a capable E Ink tablet suitable for creating as well as consuming content.

The Hardware Show 2019 is now officially sold out. Hardware Association Ireland is delighted that for the third year running the show has sold out of exhibitor space with over 3,100 sqm full of suppliers. The show, sponsored by Intact Software, takes place on the 17-18 18 February in Citywest, Co Dublin with over 150 suppliers from across Ireland and the UK, and further afield.
With increased activity in both the commercial and residential building sectors as well as continued growth in the renovation, maintenance and improvement of buildings and homes, the 2019 Hardware Show will continue to be the leading show for retailers and merchants across Ireland to visit for Home, Garden Build and DIY inspiration and to connect with current suppliers, discover new ones and find innovative products.
Features this year include The Innovation Awards, an ideal platform for exhibitors to showcase new and innovative products on the market to visitors. This year's show comprises five product categories – Home, Garden, Build, DIY and Overall Winner, along with two new awards – "Best Supplier Customer Experience", which will be voted by visitors to the show with the only condition that the supplier must be exhibiting at the Show, and 'Best New Irish Product'. The winners are presented with their awards at the President's Ball on the evening of Sunday 17 February. The winning products are showcased at the entrance to the Show for the full two days of the exhibition.
This year's Show also welcomes suppliers from Italy at the Italian Pavilion. HAI is building strong relations with colleagues in Italy that see Ireland as a growing export market. Identified with style and quality, HAI looks forward to viewing over 20 Italian suppliers who have invested in exhibiting at the 2019 Show and will bring their unique Dolce Vita over the two-day Show duration. Visitors can see the list of all Italian Pavilion exhibitors at www.thehardwareshow.ie/features.
The young apprentices from the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) make a welcome return to the show following their debut in 2017. The Skills Zone is where these talented apprentices will show off their skills in the areas of Brickwork, Electrical and Plastering. The development of these skills is now critical to the continued growth of the construction industry to cope with demand now and in the future.
Time is precious at the show both for exhibitors to speak to their existing and potential customers and for visitors to relax and gather their thoughts on what they've seen and heard. Therefore, HAI is focusing their stand at the 2019 Show on welcoming members with a free cuppa and comfy seating. The HAI Member Zone will be open and ready from 9.30am on the first day of the show to 5pm on the final day. All are welcome to stop by the stand, based in the centre of the Show area, and relax.
Stop by the HAI Member Zone at Stand D15 and use your coupon to enjoy ten minutes of stress relief and relaxation with a free neck, shoulder and head massage delivered by an experienced massage therapist.
As a new initiative for the 2019 show, visitors will find a coupon book in their bag when they collect their badge in the show entrance/ registration area. The book will include your free lunch coupon for either day you visit the show. Many of the show exhibitors would like to draw attention to their stand and offer visitors a special incentive to visit them so don't forget to check out the coupon book for competitions, special offers, promotions and so on.
Visitor registration is available free of charge on www.thehardwareshow.ie.

Have just returned from a second tour of Mallorca and included this course for the first time.Pre-booking meant that we payed the same price as for Son Vida which is in a class of it's own.
Found the front nine to be a bit "up and down" but in good condition. Fast and true greens throughout. Back nine much better with more variance to the shape of the holes.
Would return for a second visit.
Surprised to see so many "1 balls" on the course where speed of play would be helped if single players were paired up.
Son Termens was incredibly memorable for some excellent holes and for some fantastic scenery.
Front nine not superb but enlivened by tough 2nd shot on the second due to huge ravine in front of the geeen, and a couple of cracking par 3's.
The back nine, however, sees you climbing into the mountains and enjoying not only some great holes (including the only par 4 I've played where you tee off with a pitching wedge and hit your second with a 5 iron!!) but some incredible views as well.
Overall, the course was in good condition with the greens in particular being fast and smooth. Lovely clubhouse and friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.
Where is Golf de Son Termens?

Blackbird Digital Books sent me an email a few weeks ago asking if I would be interested in reading Homecoming, a novella that they described as "quite possibly the strangest romance ever told". Well, obviously I was intrigued so I leapt at the chance to read it.
Let me say, they were right! It's the strangest romance I've ever read, but in the best possible way. It's beautiful, emotional and thought-provoking.

Q: Fill PDF form and send filled form with email using iTextSharp I have one PDF form which can be filled manually.
I want to fill it with data dynamically and send this PDF with email.
Which dll you advice to use and how to do it ?

A: So lets start,
First using NuGet add iTextSharp to your project.Link
Lets continue :
Every field in editable PDF have own name.After learning this field names.
private static void FillPDFForm()
        {
                // Original File
                const string pdfTemplate="Uploads\CV.PDF";
                // New file which will be created after fillin PDF
                var newFile ="Uploads\FilledCV.PDF"
                var pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);
                var pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileStream(
                    newFile, FileMode.Create));
                var pdfFormFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields;

                // So one of our fields in PDF is FullName I am filling it with my full name
                pdfFormFields.SetField("FullName", "Vuqar Qasimov");

                // flatten the form to remove editting options, set it to false
                // to leave the form open to subsequent manual edits

                pdfStamper.FormFlattening = false;
                pdfStamper.FormFlattening = false;
                pdfStamper.Close();
                break;
            }

        }

Bingo we already created file lets attach it to email and send it
  public void SendEmailWithAttachment()
        {
            var objMailMessage = new MailMessage("EnterFromEmailAddress", "ReceiverEmailAddress")
            {
                Subject = "EnterEmailSubject",
                IsBodyHtml = true,
                Body = "EnterEmailBody"
            };
            //You can add more attachments
            objMailMessage.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("EnterAttachmentLocationPath"));
            var smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.office365.com");
            var login = new NetworkCredential("SenderEmail","SenderEmailPAssword");
            smtp.Credentials = login;
            smtp.Port =  587;
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Send(objMailMessage);
        }

*

*I used office 365 as email .if you using different email accounts you may have to change port or another credentials.

*From my experience rather than design PDF files using iTextSharp or another packages better to design it with third part applications and fill it with iTextSharp.It will look more better and will take less time.


Each year, hundreds of people die while waiting for an organ transplant. There is a shortage of organs, and the gap between the number of organs donated and the number of people waiting for a transplant is getting larger. Transplants, as an option, have successful outcomes, and the number of people needing a transplant is expected to rise steeply due to an ageing population and an increase in organ failures in India. One of the major reasons is lack of awareness about Organ Donation in India at large where majority of population is still shackled with myths and religious beliefs regarding Organ Donation in India.
Keeping this in mind, National Youth Foundation is promoting a 30 Minutes Documentary "Gift a Life" with an aim to create awareness regarding Organ Donation in India. The Documentary is produced by Ultimate Thinkers & Makers Pvt. Ltd., and directed by Mr. Vijay Raghavan who has worked in number of mainstream Cinema, Documentaries and Spot Ads for more than 40 Years. The 30 Minutes Documentary on Organ Donation shall cover all aspects like understanding Organ Donation, Myths & beliefs, Religion and Organ Donation etc. The Documentary has been extensively shot in various Districts of Uttar Pradesh and has captured Life of Recipients after transplant, Interviews of Families of Donors, Interviews by leading Surgeons, Green Corridor in State and Appeal by leading luminaries and celebrities to join the Campaign.
Our Campaign is duly supported by King George Medical University (KGMU) where Doctors have extended their utmost support for this noble venture. The Documentary shall be taken across India through Social Media, Screenings at Colleges and Other activities to sensitize and motivate people to come forward and Donate Organs so that their Single Live can gift life to 8 Individuals.
