Development of new synthetic methods. Mechanisms of synthetically important reactions. Total synthesis of natural products.
I work on the development of new methods for the contruction of highly functionalized organic molecules and the synthesis of natural products, which often have useful drug-like activity but are often not available in sufficient quantity from the plants and animals that produce them. A large number of the drugs currently in use, including the statins, most antibiotics and many cancer drugs are either natural products or derived from them. Thus this chemistyr is closely related to work that is done in the pharmaceutical industry.

I do so when I think it will make the question more direct and readable, but I also wonder if preserving the OP's voice is important in the spirit of a more conversational style.
These edits have been approved, but I was wondering in general what the policy was.
Yes, absolutely remove such things.
Anything that is not relevant to the question/post is noise and should be removed.
That includes salutations, signatures, 'thanks' and the kind of content you have highlighted.
Yes, as Oded mentioned, you should remove fluff.
Many people see it as a requirement that the question must contain a question (i.e. a sentence ending with "?").
If the above is the only question in the post, it's often better to leave it there, although it's even better to replace it with a more meaningful question.
I don't know why the foo is bar. Can you help me?
Why is the foo bar?
Your examples are not something that calls for an edit. A post needs some text to hold it together. What's considered as necessary and what's considered as superfluous is very subjective.
Edits need to be substantial and address several issues. As a rule of thumb, consider whether the specific edit you are about to do is substantial enough on its own merit, to justify a whole post edit.
Also, while lines like "can you help me with this", "thanks for any help" seem superfluous, there is nothing wrong with being polite. To edit a post just to remove a "thanks" is too minor a change.
So I would say, in most cases leave the fluff alone. Instead, focus on editing out the garbage.
Any form of post signatures.
"Story of my life" rants about people's background, that aren't relevant to the question. This isn't black or white, but most of the time the amount of experience of the poster is irrelevant.
Similarly, details about the poster's personal life and other such random chit-chat should be removed, this isn't Facebook.
"Urgent! I need an answer today!"
"Provide full source code in your answer."
"I'm in deep trouble, please help me please"
"Please don't close this question"
Offensive language of any kind. In these cases you should also flag the post for moderator attention.
Furthermore, I usually remove introductory sentences like: "I am totally new to ...", "I have no clue about..." or "This is extremely urgent! PLEASE HELP!!!!!".
P.S: Yes 'fluff' is an appropriate designation. I used to call it boilerplate text in my comments.
P.P.S: If the question is really crap (i.e. not salvageable), just downvote it and vote to close.
If you're already editing for other reasons, feel free to remove the greetings, thanks, etc. They're just there mostly because someone wanted to be polite, and doesn't realize how much we value getting to the point.
But personally, I typically don't edit a post just to remove them (unless they're like half the question). And unless the post is otherwise perfect, I'll generally reject a suggested edit as "too minor" if that's the only change.
"Fluff" -- while not ideal -- is not a problem in and of itself. Succintness is a preference, not a correctness issue. There are invariably real problems (grammatical errors, misspellings, atrocious formatting, etc) in that post...and any one of those problems is more significant than all the "Hello"s and "Thanks"es on the entire site.
If all you do is remove a bit of fluff, that hasn't actually fixed anything. But if you're actually fixing the post, there's nothing wrong with streamlining it a bit as well.
I would say (it's something I do anyway) that a simple "Thanks" at the end of a post isn't too bad.
I know it's a Q&A site, but you do have to think that people, even just by reading your question, are actively looking to help you with your problem and so I like to thank them for their time in doing so. Probably me being a little too British ;).
Anything beyond that though and I would agree and say it is unnecessary.
Are we turning into robots? Please let people thank, before it turns into convenience that nobody will be thankful or be polite to anyone, and expect that you will answer because it's nothing less than what you should do, anywhere, including outside here.
I agree that other kind of things can be considered 'noise', but politeness is not useless, and it should remain. For example, it sometimes makes me smile just to read a thanks from somebody. It feels better than earning reputations, which is like "job's done, here's your money".
"After being out of programming for ten years I've started at a community college and..."
But DON'T remove social salutations and moderate (SHORT) bridging social English.
Cheers. Hey Xpress experts,. Any ideas. Here's a puzzler. Hi,.
If you remove SHORT (1-3 word) social bridging, that is incredibly lame and very annoying.
So, that's one good approach.
Short bridging fluff includes a huge amount of subtext clues about the nature of the question, the questioner, what they need to know, level of expertise, their position in the site, and so on.
It's incredibly naive to remove this because "it's not computer code".
"I also wonder if preserving the OP's voice is important in the spirit of a more conversational style."
Yes, that is critically important, so long as it's short fluff. And it's not just important because "it's nice to have style", it's important because communication is 75% subtext.
"I was wondering in general what the policy was."
SO has no policy on anything, it's just nosey people giving opinions.
SO is sort of a cross between Ayn Rand's dream socio-political free-for-all universe, and, your incredibly nosey great Aunt who profoundly confuses her opinion with reality and often talks about how "They" know and do certain things.
You should do what you want. If your approach is good it will "become policy."
When you remove "fluff" such as "please can you help me with..." or "thanks in advance" from a question all I see as an askee is that my carefully worded question has been messed with. From then on, how can I be sure that you've not modified some crucial keypoint of the question? And when I revisit my question 12 months from now, can I still trust its integrity?
Why should we avoid to use "hi" and "thank you" but "haha", "lol" and "lmao"?
Should "I am new to" be removed as noise?
Should I edit out unnecessary "sorry, thanks", etc. from questions?
Approve or reject 'good' edits that only make sense if Q and A's are both changed?


Evolution Benefits Inc. has developed a successful and growing fundraising program based on its prepaid card technology. Through the TeacherDollars program, the health care benefits card processor issues "special-purpose" prepaid debit cards to teachers in the Hartford, Conn., public school system.
Teachers use the MasterCard Worldwide-branded cards to purchase school supplies from merchants, such as bookstores and grocery and office supply stores, that participate in the Hartford school improvement plan. The supplies mainly focus on increasing the literacy and math skills of students.
According to Lynda Godkin, TeacherDollars Program Director for EB, TeacherDollars has distributed approximately 1,500 cards worth $320,000 since 2006, with $200 typically loaded on each card. For the 2010/2011 school year, EB has raised $139,500 toward its goal of $200,000. The money will be used to fund 880 cards to be distributed to deserving teachers in 22 schools.
Godkin said the idea for TeacherDollars came from Patricelli, who grew up in Hartford. He had an "aha moment" when he realized EB's prepaid card technology could improve the education in Hartford's schools by supplying its teachers with a payment tool for purchasing items that are not budgeted by the schools, Godkin said.
For teachers who annually spend an average of $1,000 of their own money for additional classroom materials, EB's program helps ease that burden, she added.
Hartford is the second-poorest city in the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Urban Environmental Program in New England. Its population is largely minority (African-American and Hispanic) with a median income of $11,081, according to 2007 statistics. Godkin said Hartford is considered a "mecca" for recent immigrants, many coming from the Caribbean islands of the West Indies.
With parents often working multiple jobs and any one of 22 different languages spoken by students, Hartford's teachers are confronted with daunting educational challenges, Godkin said.
With the TeacherDollars program, the message to Hartford teachers is "we trust you," she added. "You have probably the most difficult job in the society and raising our young people to be educated and part of a sophisticated workforce. So here's some extra money to help you do your job."

Dynamax Technologies Ltd., a provider of digital signage solutions, has announced it has signed strategic channel marketing and distribution agreements with two of the audio-visual (AV) industry's most successful, well-respected value-added resellers (VARs): the Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) business unit of West Chester, Pa.-based Advanced Audio Visual Sales, Inc. (Advanced AV) and Alcoa, Tenn.-based Multi-Media Solutions, Inc. (MMS).
The two deals, part of Dynamax's ongoing worldwide channel partner recruitment and marketing strategy, significantly expand its growing roster of resellers, distributors, and systems integrators throughout North America. In addition, the agreements increase the reach and effectiveness of the company's indirect model for selling its software, technologies, and services to end customers in multiple vertical markets.
Tom Nix, vice president and general manager of Dynamax Technologies, LLC, the company's North American subsidiary, announced the contracts at InfoComm 08 -- held June 18 - 20, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. InfoComm, the largest international trade show and conference dedicated to the professional AV industry, annually brings together more than 31,000 manufacturers, integrators, and experts from around the world to view, find, and discuss new ways of inspiring audiences through innovative AV experiences and technologies.
"The identification and recruitment of high-quality, well-connected channel partners with extensive digital signage experience and knowledge is absolutely critical to the company's aggressive growth strategy, and to achieving robust sales and business development objectives in North America," said Nix. "Without question, Advanced AV and Multi-Media Solutions are two of the AV industry's most distinguished VARs, with each possessing a vast amount of expertise in the design and deployment of digital signage installations, and the clientele to match. As a result, these two proven companies will play a major role in elevating Dynamax's presence in the marketplace, and boosting the company's sales and distribution capabilities of its flagship software application, POV."
Founded in 1985, Advanced AV is a full-service reseller and systems integrator of AV products, services, and solutions for companies in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The company's Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) business unit, headed by Vice President and General Manager Kris R. Vollrath, specializes in the design and delivery of sophisticated information technology (IT)-centric AV solutions, with significant expertise in digital signage deployments. Advanced AV President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jay Armand is chairman of InfoComm International.
Led by President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mike White, governor-at-large of InfoComm International, MMS is a nationwide reseller and systems integrator of AV products, services, and solutions with deep digital signage domain experience.
"The Advanced AV-ATG team is very impressed with the flexibility, scalability, and functionality of Dynamax's full-featured content management platform, POV, and the company's deep commitment to selling its solutions through qualified, trusted channel partners," said Vollrath. "As the industry is well aware, not all digital signage software applications are created equally. That said, the addition of POV to Advanced AV's portfolio will enable the company to take its digital signage business to the next level, while offering clients the very best products and services in this sector. Advanced AV looks forward to working with Dynamax representatives in accelerating broader acceptance and adoption of digital signage networks in out-of-home environments."
"For world-class digital signage software applications, Multi-Media Solutions found an ideal provider and partner in Dynamax Technologies, which has been a pioneer in this sector for over a decade," said White. "Multi-Media Solutions' customers are constantly requesting more powerful and sophisticated applications to manage today's next-generation digital out-of-home media networks. Now, the company can provide the very best offering in this area, as well as sterling service, consulting, and technical support."
Dynamax is the only vendor committed to providing channel partners with competitive, differentiated, and channel-friendly digital signage solutions, and the sales and marketing support to win creative and technical customers. As the digital signage industry continues to grow, Dynamax's new partner-centric strategy, robust portfolio of product and services, and comprehensive channel marketing support firmly position the company to increase revenue generated through indirect sales.

By Keith Durham
From the thirteenth century until eventually early within the seventeenth century the Border Marches of britain and Scotland have been torn by means of a vicious and nearly non-stop cycle of raid, reprisal and blood feud. The Border Reiver was once a certified livestock thief, a guerilla soldier expert at raiding, monitoring and ambush and a good organised 'gangster'. together with 8 remarkable complete web page color plates by means of Angus McBride, in addition to a number of different illustrations, this article by means of Keith Durham explores the vibrant historical past of those notable humans.

42 Similarly, in the Ochakov crisis with Russia in 1791, there was a lack of clarity about the strategic importance of the fortress of Ochakov, and, in particular, about the extent to which it dominated the estuaries of the Rivers Bug and Dnieper. 43 Given this dissension, it was scarcely surprising that parliamentarians and newspapers also disagreed about the importance of the fortress, as well as about the relationship between Russian gains and the balance of power. 44 This dispute looked toward the nineteenth century, as did the Nootka Sound crisis over Vancouver Island of the previous year.
It was pronounced when Britain was taking an active, interventionist stance in Continental power politics, as in the 1710s, late 1720s, early 1730s and 1740s. Conversely, a relatively isolationist stance, as in the late 1760s and early 1770s, ensured that the need was less. Nevertheless, there was then the requirement for government to demonstrate that its failure to act, when for example the French purchased Corsica in 1768 or the First Partition of Poland occurred in 1772, did not betoken an inability to discern and defend national interests.
This offered a valuable, and more 'modern', alternative to the notion of dynastic legitimacy as the leitmotif of political debate. Instead of focusing on the rights to the British throne of the Hanoverians (an issue that left little space for political debate, other than of a treasonable character), it was possible to ask whether the ministry was legitimate in the sense of sustaining the national interest. This was an aspect of a more widespread European political development during the eighteenth century: the separation of ruler from nation, not least in terms of an automatic assumption that the identity and interest of the latter were submerged in the former.

But sometimes, we have to admit that our bodies go through changes and tell the story of our lives: A child, an inspiring weight loss journey, or us growing wiiser...After these changes, the Clothes we used to wear just don't fit quite the same. Then we might feel unattractive somehow and down about our bodies.
LOVERBEAUTY was created by the purpose: a purpose that helps women overcome body image issues, raise self-esteem and be their best selves.
You may not shape shape, you choose shapewear to flaunt your curves. We celebrate your inner beauty through shapewear styles designed to fit ALL Women, of ALL shapes and sizes.

With LOVERBEAUTY shapewear, be your beautiful self. We see the beauty in you.
Hi this is Pankaj. I'd like to help you find a suitable slogan for your brand viz. LOVER BEAUTY. I'm afraid the brief provided is a little vague. Perhaps we could discuss this before getting started? Thank you.
First I would like to say I love what your company stands for! In this day and age of "insta baddie bodies" it is refreshing to see a company that promotes individuality and body positivity.
I work in woman-fashion for 4 years as in jewelry industry. I am a photographer, designer, and I think I can handle this project.


Depicted you see one of our mobile robot base platforms, which we use to carry our robot arms. This one is called "Jerry", whereas the other one, already having two arms mounted, is called "Tomm".

It had been over a decade since I was last in Miami and I usually don't keep tabs on food scenes for cities I had no plans to visit. My first inclination was to do some Googling to find a restaurant but then remembered I had a possible Restaurant Sherpa there. You remember what that is, right? It's basically your guide to the culinary ins and outs of your destination. It could be a site like Yelp, Zomato, and Trip Advisor, but the best ones are actual people you can trust.
My faith in her was immediately justified as she quickly steered me away from the touristy beach areas and any thoughts of Cuban food. One of her recommendations was Pubbelly, an Asian-inspired gastropub in a residential area a mile or so inland from South Beach. When I saw that Chef Jose Mendin has been a James Beard Award semi-finalist for four years running, I knew I was in for a treat.
But it sure doesn't look like that… Whatever it was, it was good.
There were a couple missteps – the sprouts were too salty and the octopus a tad overdone – but everything else was solid. Boom Boom was never a fan of bone marrow, but after this one she's craving it. And I'm not sure whether I loved the agnolotti or the gyoza more. Both were heavenly.
What I AM sure of is that this type of meal was not available in the touristy restaurants by the beach. Those had loud music, laminated menus, and people trying to lure us in with drink specials. Or if there was a place with this level of food, it would've been more expensive. The tasting menu was $60 per person, which would've bought two sushi rolls a Nobu or three cocktails at The Delano's pool bar.
Just goes to show the value of a good Sherpa. Thanks Pinot Ninja!!
Oooh! Did you have any wine? An interesting meal for pairings!
Actually… They didn't have a pairing menu as it's a little casual. I already had a few cocktails (our reservation was for 930) so I couldn't handle thinking about all those pairings. So we went with beer from a brewery in Boca Raton – Barrel of Monks "Three Fates" Tripel. I love Tripels and it paired nicely across the board.
Oh that bone marrow looks DIVINE! I'm a big fan of bone marrow. Glad you had a good meal, and that price is really good for what you got.
It was so good, no complaints about the whole meal ! Price was excellent.
All of that looks so incredibly good!

The Arcade "Rally" Racer Returns: Dirt 5 Review
November 30, 2020 November 10, 2020 by Brian Daniels
What is an arcade rally racing game anyway? That's the question I continue to ask myself while playing Codemasters latest entry in their arcade rally racing game, Dirt 5. Much like previous entries in the Dirt series, you will be battling it out with several AI opponents in a variety of different racing game modes. Saying that this is a rally game is a bit of a stretch because unlike an actual rally game in that of World Rally Championship 9 that I also reviewed, Dirt 5 tries to be a rally game by offering various types of terrain such as mud, puddles, rain, and even ice in the form of an Icebreaker event which has you driving over sheets of ice while trying to control your vehicle. There are a ton of real-life rally type vehicles in the game that you can choose from and use the money earned in Career mode events to unlock different vehicles.
Dirt 5 offers some incredibly beautiful courses that you will enjoy throughout your career.
Dirt 5's career mode is essentially just a series of races in the form of chapters that you will be trying to complete as well as having commentators throughout your journey providing some rather hilarious commentary on your status in career mode with driver A.J. Janieck giving you guidance along the way as well as the antagonist of the mode, Bruno Durand (of which both characters are voiced by Troy Baker and Nolan North respectively) giving his own opinion during your career. Career mode will have you attempting to earn 3 stamps for each race which depends on how well you place in each event. Also, each event you play in Career mode will feature three random objectives that you can attempt to complete for even more XP. The events in Career mode are not at all lacking and one of my personal favorite events Gymkhana, returns even better than before, however, this being an arcade rally game it can be a bit of a task to control vehicles since this event will challenge you around a huge playground of drift circles as well as items to smash through and earn points. The Career mode also has you earning XP which goes towards a more overall level as well as choosing different sponsorships that you will also level up as you progress in Career mode in which you will unlock various customizations for your vehicles such as different liveries as well as options for your player card like stickers, lanyards, backgrounds and more.
The realism the game has to offer when it comes to all the various terrain is very aesthetically pleasing
One event in particular that I was rather frustrated with was Sprint. Sprint has you behind the wheel of the rather fictional Jupiter Hawk 410 of which these tracks feature you slinging mud as you mostly attempt to make left turns. I say attempt because out of all the racing events Dirt 5 has to offer, Sprint is by far the most difficult of the bunch. Try as I might, I attempt to make sure that I can keep my car from not doing a 180, I found that Sprint was an almost impossible race to win as I was only able to finish in 6th place, however, this might not be a challenge for Dirt veterans that are able to make what seems to be impossible possible. Dirt 5 also features a Playground mode which allows you to be creative and create your own tracks using all of the various events the game has to offer. Some of my favorite tracks to play were the Gymkhana tracks of which some featured loops and jumps through firey hoops. Dirt 5 also features a multiplayer mode in which you can challenge others through all of the event modes the game has to offer. The game also has some very impressive visuals as you will feel every single puddle you drive through as well as the many different locations having their own day/night cycle and realistic weather patterns that can show up during the course of an event.
Sprint is one event type that players may find themselves quite frustrated trying to control their vehicle.
For those looking for a fun, Rally-Esque arcade racing experience, the Dirt series is the top of the food chain when it comes to an exciting experience as well as one that will challenge you as you progress through its Career mode. The game also offers different performance modes for those that wish to focus on the game having great graphics or for those on an Xbox Series X and a proper television, you can even play on the 120fps option as well as running in 4K 60fps on an Xbox One X. Dirt 5 is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and is also available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series line of consoles via Smart Delivery.
Thanks to Codemasters for providing Brian with a review copy of the game which was reviewed on an Xbox One X.

asserts that there is a technique, method, process, activity, incentive or reward that is more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. Best practices can also be defined as the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best results) way of accomplishing a task, based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people.
In real-world application, Best Practice is a very useful concept. Despite the need to improve on processes as times change and things evolve, Best Practice is considered by some as a business buzzword used to describe the process of developing and following a standard way of doing things that multiple organizations can use for management, policy, and especially software systems.

Matt Henry (Artist): Works & Prints for Sale
Matt Henry is a Brighton-based photographer, whose work explores the power of fiction through the photographic medium. Inspired by the politics and culture of 1960s and 70s America, Henry's work is driven by an attention to style and characterisation, each photograph beautifully designed, composed, and executed. Every project is underpinned by a narrative: Henry creates fictional scenes, each one storyboarded and built around dressed locations or sets, and peopled by actors who Henry directs. Yet the result is greater than a glossy film snapshot: every image tells a story, through exceptional attention to detail, a deft sensitivity to light, colour and composition, and the conceptual rigour that feeds his aesthetic. Henry claims that his work "plays with fragments of American photography, cinema and literature to explore underlying ideological concerns." Henry's work has been exhibited across Europe, Asia, and North America, as well as featuring in print in a range of publications.

Petition to halt all Israeli quarry and mining activities in the West Bank
Photo by Yesh Din
The Petition
Legal expert opinion
Ruling (unofficial translation)
please support our work
HCJ 2164/09 – Yesh Din – Volunteers for Human Rights v the Commander of the IDF Forces in the West Bank
In a groundbreaking case, in 2009 Yesh Din petitioned the High Court of Justice (HCJ) to demand all mining and quarrying activities being conducted by Israel in the West Bank be halted. The petition claimed that mining natural resources in the West Bank for the State of Israel's own use is illegal. The petition was based on a study conducted by the Coalition of Women for Peace and published on the website "Who Profits from the Occupation"
In the petition, Yesh Din presented a document issued by the Interior Ministry that testifies to the fact that 75 percent of Israeli quarrying output in the West Bank is transferred into Israel for use by the Israeli construction industry. As stated in the petition: "This petition addresses the illegal practice of brutal economic exploitation of the occupied territory for the exclusive economic needs of the occupying power in flagrant violation of fundamental principles of international law…a crime committed on West Bank land with every stone and gravel extracted from the belly of the earth and transferred in trucks to Israel's sovereign territory for the benefit of Israel's economy. Under international law, this type of activity constitutes a violation both of the laws of a belligerent occupation and international human rights law, and in certain cases is even defined as pillage."
The petition referred to the Krupp Trials after World War II, regarding German industrialists, in which the tribunal established that the use of natural resources from an occupied territory for purposes other than security needs or the welfare of the occupied population is a crime against humanity.
As a result of the petition, the State announced in May 2009 that it would freeze all land allocation proceedings for purposes of quarrying in the West Bank, and that it would prohibit expansion of existing quarries. The State Attorney announced that staff work was being undertaken in order to examine the legality of quarrying work by Israeli companies. In May 2010 the State published a comprehensive document on its quarrying policy in the West Bank. It claimed the matter is a diplomatic issue that was discussed in interim agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. As such, the Court should not interfere in the matter. The State admitted that the vast majority of quarrying outputs serves Israel, however it claimed that it was a small amount of the quarrying materials that exist in the West Bank. Nonetheless, the State committed that no new Israeli quarries would be established beyond the Green Line.
In December 2011, the HCJ rejected Yesh Din's petition. In the ruling, then Chief Justice Dorit Beinisch wrote that mineral mining does not contradict international law. The ruling also determined that cessation of mining activities could cause severe damage to quarry-owners, the Palestinian population and economy.
In January 2012 Yesh Din submitted a request for a further hearing with a broader panel of judges (FHCJ 316/12) given the far-reaching consequences of the ruling regarding Israeli occupation of the West Bank. This petition states that, "the Court's decision is a revolution in international humanitarian law (the laws of occupation) in its ruling that the State of Israel, as an occupying power in a prolonged occupation, has the authority to grant Israelis and Israeli corporations the right to quarry natural resources, including in quarries that did not exist prior to the occupation – with only limitation being reasonable use of the natural resource."
In an unusual expert legal opinion, Israeli experts in international law (Prof. Eyal Benvenisti, Prof. Orna Ben Naftali, Prof. Barak Medina, Prof. Yuval Shani, Dr. Guy Harpaz, Dr. Amichai Cohen and Dr. Yael Ronen) determined that the HCJ's ruling contradicts fundamental principles in international law. The experts specified that, inter alia, the "occupation is temporary, and the occupying power must maintain a status quo in the territory under its trusteeship (unless deviation from the status quo is imperative). If the temporary commander operates ties between the "occupier and occupied," as determined in the ruling, this could collapse the anchors of the laws of occupation (temporariness, trusteeship and status quo), and all this implies."
In July 2012, Justice Eliezer Rivlin rejected the request for a further hearing. "The learned opinion raises important questions and analyzes them most skillfully and eruditely. However, in the concrete circumstances of this case, since no precedent was set in the decision that justifies a further hearing, there is no need to discuss them at this stage," he wrote in his decision.

Q: "Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'"? My Application
I am simply trying to be able to save all information on the form by an ID Number into Arrays & ArrayLists. Then, be able to Retrieve that order by it's ID Number.
I am able to save an order, but when I go to Retrieve, I get this error:
Error
I have looked through all related classes/functions/subs...etc. But cannot find where this error is coming from.

Carmelle is simply incredible. Since joining CrossFit Corydon (CFC) in May of last year, she has progressed in both strength and stamina. She comes to class every day (literally almost every day!) with a goal in mind, a positive attitude and high level of enthusiasm. Looking back at her attendance, performance history and general feedback from our members and coaches over January, she was an obvious candidate for Athlete of the Month and we are really looking forward to seeing where she goes from here! Congrats – CFC Coaching Team.
What got you interested in CrossFit and what keeps you coming back?
I started Crossfit on a whim. I was sitting at work one day thinking of new things to try and I had heard of Crossfit so I googled it and signed up for a free trial class that Saturday at CFW and the rest is history. I started my on-ramp end of September 2014 so I have been doing this for one year and 4 months. I was hooked from the end of my on-ramp and I never looked back. I joined CFC in May of 2015 and I started doing Crossfit full-time and there is not enough words to describe how much I love it. The reasons why I love it is because every class is different and a challenge and the Crossfit group class atmosphere is so positive, it make working out fun. Honestly, Crossfit was that missing piece in my fitness journey. I literally cannot imagine having to go back to a regular gym. Crossfit has changed my body, given me strength, a constant sense of accomplishment and was that one positive thing I so needed in my life.
CFC is welcoming, the coaches are superb and honestly the best gym in the city in my opinion!
Since I joined CFC I started doing Crossfit 4-6 times a week so everything as improved drastically. Some things that I am pretty proud of are..
And there was point for like 3 months where I could not get past #95 on my Overhead Squat but I got past it and now hit a #120 2RM.
Favorite and Least favorite movement/workout and why?
So many things are a favorite but to name a few I love the abs stuff like toes to bar or rings, hollow rocks and planks. The Metcons are my thing and always the highlight of every class. For lifting I would say the Split Jerk, Overhead Squats and Push or Strict Press.
Least favorite is the Deadlift. Mostly because it feels like my arms are ripping out of my sockets (LOL) on heavy lifts and kills my lower back. Though… since my technique is improving it is less of a killer to my lower back so my dislike for it is improving.
Favourite superhero, band/musician or celebrity and why?
So hard to pick just one but I am a huge music fan. Back in the days of CD's I think I had over 500. I am a big British lover so Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, The Verve, Amy Winehouse, Oasis tops the list. I also like Avicii, Skrillex to the girlie stuff like Adele, Dido and Norah Jones. And at the moment I just started to listen to City and Colour, which is so good!
What is your favourite thing about CFC?
The great coaches, the fantastic members, the even better location. I call it my happy place!
Travelling is one of my biggest passions. I think I have been a gym member since my teens so staying physically active is important to me and some non-gym related activities I enjoy are roller balding, ice skating, adult recreational dance at RWB. Also I am a huge fan of the theatre, ballet and musicals and I am season ticket holder to MTC. And I am a pretty good cook!
First all the coaches are fabulous and each bring their own wealth of knowledge and experience and it doesn't matter who coaches because they all rock. All are amazing Crossfitters in their own right. Also, they are four really great guys who have become more like friends to me and all have inspired me to keep improving my Crossfit skills and to never quit.
Jason is high energy with slick dance moves. His coaching style is fun but his pointers on improving your technique is spot on. He is your biggest supporter whether you succeed or fail at a lift. He is very motivating! And only in his classes would you do metcons to Phantom of the Opera and Olivia Newton-John which by the way is hilarious but so much fun.
Matt is the coach I see the less as you will never catch this girl at a 6am class. Matt is a fountain of knowledge and his rubber band tricks (not sure how else to explain them haha) improved my hand stands by 100%. He knows his stuff and every pointer he has given me I have never forgotten and has improved my technique. You are always in for a great class when Matt is the coach.
Shane is a great coach also pretty impressive to watch him clean and jerk 300lbs. His coaching style a little stricter than the others as he lets you get away with nothing and the most groans happen in Shane's class when he makes us non-double under people do tuck jumps. The groans are pretty funny but the tuck jumps work! When Shane is coaching his tips always help me achieve my best.
Taylor was there back when I started in my on-ramp and he was a coach in training at that time so I have a bit of a soft spot for Taylor's coaching style as it is the most familiar to me. He has taught me so much and he is the one who helped me on my deadlift technique, so now because of him, I dislike deadlifts just a little bit less. And watching this guy walk on his hands makes you speechless. Hearing him talk about his fitness journey and following him on IG makes us all look like coach potatoes (lol). He always has a great attitude, plays the best music and just I like his easy going style.
Hmmm… well I have lived in places like England, Australia and Israeli. In my early 20's I would say I spent 3-4 years just travelling and a very good portion of that was on my own. Endless crazy stories and highlights but a few include hitch hiking in Israeli and living on a Kibbutz, visiting Lenin's tomb in the Red Square in Moscow and driving from Winnipeg to Los Cabos to Playa del Carmen in Mexico and back to Winnipeg.


I am a major foodie! If I'm not eating food, I'm thinking about food, and if I'm not thinking about food, I'm dreaming about food, and if I'm not… well you get the picture. I do love food – but I'm also, rather antithetically, a pretty picky eater! YET, thanks to my great passion for success in my sport, within the last five years I've added more to my diet than I would have ever imagined possible – from green beans and spinach to avocados, raisins and coconut oil.
This is particularly surprising considering younger Abs' mealtime mantra can be summed up in three words: 'No veg, please!' Yet here I am all these years later eating rabbit food on a regular basis. So, if like me you don't particularly love your greens, keep reading, subscribe, drop me an message using the contact form or tweet (@Airozuru) and I'll help you too come to love a greener, healthier diet!


Your funeral is probably something you would rather not think about. But there is one thing you should be thinking about sooner rather than later: how will your funeral be paid for. The average funeral costs around £4,000 these days. Is this a sum your family could afford to pay at the drop of a hat? Funeral Plans provide a way to pay for your funeral now so it's all taken care of when the time comes.
Do funeral plans provide good value?
How do I know I have the right plan?
Who plans my funeral and how will they know about my plan?
What questions do I need to ask my adviser and provider?
Read on to find out more about funeral plans, see if they're a good idea for you and the things you need to think about when choosing the plan that's right for you.
We gave a brief explanation of funeral plans above, but here's what you need to know in more detail.
A funeral plan lets you pay for your funeral upfront. Think of it as a pre-paid funeral. This has two advantages for your relatives. The first is that they don't have to pay for it themselves. Even the simplest funerals can be surprisingly expensive – more than many people could afford to pay without saving up for it.
Of course, your relatives can choose to pay for your funeral using money from your estate. The good news is that this cost would not be subject to inheritance tax. On the other hand, paying for the cost of a funeral from your estate could mean you would be leaving your relatives less money than you'd hoped to.
There are funeral plan providers who sell funeral plans. Our comparison tool makes it easy to compare providers so you can choose the provider that is right for you. Alternatively, you can choose to purchase a funeral plan from your local funeral director. The advantage of this is that you have a local point of contact if you have any queries.
On the other hand, it is always worth researching the market before you accept their plan to make sure you are getting the best deal.
Funeral plans can be a good idea for several reasons.
The first is the financial reason. As we discussed above and will talk about more below, funerals can be very expensive events, even if you are trying to keep the costs down. Without a funeral plan in place, these are costs that your relatives will have to pay for in one way or another.
They might choose to pay for it out of their own pockets, which could leave them in debt, or they could pay for it out of your estate, which will mean you will be leaving them less money than you had hoped for.
The second reason is because it gives you more of a say in your funeral plans. When you take out a funeral plan you take decisions about the sort of funeral you would like.
It is your opportunity to consider things like flowers, music and the coffin. These are all things that will make your funeral more personal to you and more meaningful for your family.
The third reason is because it will relieve your relatives of a lot of stress at what is already a difficult time. A funeral plan means you have already taken care of the costs as well as a lot of the planning.
It will save them having to make lots of decisions about funeral arrangements that they do not really have the energy to think about. By doing this you will be minimising the distress for your family, allowing them to say goodbye without worry and financial burden when the time comes.
In short, a funeral plan gives you and your family peace of mind.
If you would like to explore funeral plan options, our comparison tool makes it easy. You simply choose the level of cover you want (bronze, silver, gold or platinum), fill in your details and we'll give you a list of all the providers you can choose from.
There is no doubt that funerals can be expensive events.
Cremation using a funeral director costs an average of £3,214. Burial using a funeral director costs £4,136. These are significant sums of money, but they are not all the costs involved in a funeral. They only cover collection and care of your body, a basic coffin, a hearse and managing a simple service. If you would like flowers or music at your funeral, this will be extra.
Similarly if you would like more than a basic coffin. Then there are the mourners to consider. If you would like there to be a funeral wake or funeral tea to celebrate your life, there are the additional costs of a venue, food and drink to consider.
Because funerals cost such a significant sum, paying for them in advance makes good financial sense. After all, how many of us have sums like this lying around to spend when we need to?
There is another factor that makes funeral plans good value. This is that you are paying for your funeral at today's prices rather than the prices when you die. This is a big benefit because funeral costs are rising each year at well above the price of inflation. In fact, funeral costs in the UK have risen by over 100% since 2004.
By buying your funeral plan now, you can beat those prices rises, regardless of how far in the future the funeral service takes place or however much prices may increase in the meantime.
Most funeral plan providers will offer you a choice of paying either as a lump sum or spreading the cost by paying in monthly instalments, usually over one to ten years.
Instalments are a good option if you don't have the lump sum to invest but be aware that by paying in this way you will probably end up paying more because of the administration fees and interest that will be applied.
This is particularly the case when paying instalments over the longer term, which could potentially add up to 26% more to the cost. So if you can, it will benefit you greatly to pay for your policy by lump sum, or with fewer instalments.
Once your plan is in place, your provider will either put the money in a trust fund or invest it in an insurance policy that pays out when you die, so that the funds are available to pay the funeral director and other providers when they are needed.
This is controlled by the Financial Conduct Authority, so you can rest assured that your money is safe. Also, the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA), has a code of conduct that all of its member providers must comply with.
Funeral plans can differ significantly in what they cover. Most will not pay for everything you need for your funeral, but it all depends on the policy, the provider and the price. While one plan might simply cover the funeral director's costs, another might pay for the entire thing, including a plot and the wake.
For example, consider whether you would like to go for a cremation or a burial. Most funeral plans can be tailored to suit either, but there are significant cost differences between the two, as with burial there is the cost of a burial plot to consider. A provider might guarantee the price of cremation, but only pay a contribution towards burial costs. It all depends.
Do I want a small family funeral service or commemorative funeral service?
Do I want funeral cars and if so how many?
Do I want a church service, crematorium memorial service or another type of service?
Who will arrange and supervise the event?
Is the burial plot included?
Are any costs for burial and cremation capped?
Of course, you may have many other features you'd like to consider, or maybe you are not sure of all the options available to you. This is especially true of course if you have a special request for your funeral, perhaps one with a personalised touch, or one of an unusual nature. Examples of this might be anything from a specific type of coffin, be it a green coffin or a wicker coffin, or it could be something a little different such as a burial at sea.
You can ensure you have the right funeral plan for you by considering all the different aspects of the funeral and whether you want it all covered under your funeral plan.
However, funerals arrangements can be complicated, especially if you have specific requirements. Utility Saving Expert will help you make sure you get the right funeral plans to suit your needs. Simply discuss your requirements with one of our friendly funeral plan experts.
We will compare prices of some of the biggest UK funeral plan providers and then we'll come back to you with a list of options to choose from, or the best option for your specific requirements.
Once you have made a choice, you should make sure to examine the policy carefully, so that you know exactly what's included and what's not included before you commit to buy.
The cost of your funeral plan is likely to be a sizeable sum. You will therefore want to know that your money is safe and your funeral costs will be covered when the time comes. This is particularly true when you consider that it may be many years before your family needs to put your plans into effect.
On the other hand, if you choose to pay by instalments, there is always the possibility that you will die before you have finished paying them. You will need to get answers to questions such as these before you commit to a funeral plan provider.
There are also some other things you need to bear in mind when you are checking whether your funeral plan is a safe investment.
The Financial Conduct Authority doesn't directly regulate funeral plans. However, to safeguard your plan, your provider will either place it in a trust fund or invest it in an insurance policy that pays out when you die. The Financial Conduct Authority does have rules governing trust funds and insurance policies so your money is safeguarded by these.
There is a professional body for providers called the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA), which has a code of conduct that all its members must comply with.
If you pay for your funeral plan upfront on your credit card, you may have some protection because of this. This is because you may be protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Under this Act, a credit card provider must protect purchases over £100 if there is a problem with goods or services you have paid for, or if the company you are buying from goes out of business.
If you choose to pay for your plan using monthly instalments, you could also consider paying these using your credit card. This means your payments may be covered under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 in the same way as if you were paying the entire amount up-front on your credit card.
Of course, having a funeral plan is one thing. But who will be planning your funeral and how will they know that you have a plan in place?
If there is no one to take care of your funeral arrangements, your local authority will arrange it.
When it comes to making sure that the people planning your funeral know about your arrangements, you can let them know in your will. If you have very detailed requirements, it may be better to set these out in a separate letter.
Note that your funeral wishes are not legally binding. Ultimately, it is up to your executors or administrators to make these decisions. However, if you have made it clear what you want to happen about your funeral, your instructions will usually be followed.
Make sure that any details about your funeral wishes contain information on your funeral plan and provider. When the time comes, most funeral providers will put your funeral plan into action after a simple phone call. This means your loved ones don't have so much to think about or so many arrangements to make.
Even if you are saving money in the long run, a funeral plan is still a sizeable investment to make. It is therefore worthwhile taking the time to check you are getting exactly what you need from your plan.
Here are some of the questions you could consider asking. They will help you see how flexible your plan will be. They will also help you understand more about what is important to you in your funeral plan and what is less important.
What is included in the funeral plan and, more importantly, what isn't?
How long will I be paying instalments for?
Is there interest to pay on the instalments?
What happens if I die before I have finished paying all the instalments?
If there are any other expenses for the funeral, what happens?
Can I have a funeral of a different standard to the one I have chosen?
How easy is it to change the details of my funeral plan?
What happens if I die abroad or away from home?
What is the process for telling you that my funeral plan needs to be cashed in?
How do you work with my relatives in terms of cashing in the funeral plan and making the funeral arrangements?

Sir Philip Green assault charges dropped by US prosecutors
Sir Philip, 67, could have faced up to 30 days' imprisonment on each charge or a fine of up to 500 US dollars (£385) if the prosecution had gone ahead
File photo dated 13/09/11 of Sir Philip Green, as almost 50 MPs are openly backing an attempt to strip the former BHS owner of his knighthood. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Wednesday October 19, 2016.

US authorities have dropped charges brought against billionaire businessman Sir Philip Green for allegedly touching a Pilates instructor inappropriately.
The Arcadia Group mogul was charged with four counts of misdemeanour assault in June last year.
Katie Surridge told police in Arizona that Sir Philip spanked and grabbed her backside during classes in the Canyon Ranch luxury resort in Tucson in 2016 and 2018.
Sir Philip, 67, could have faced up to 30 days' imprisonment on each charge or a fine of up to 500 US dollars (£385) if the prosecution had gone ahead.
The businessman always strongly denied the allegations and on Monday Arcadia said the charges have now been dismissed.

In a statement, the company said: "At the request of the prosecution, the cases alleging assault against Sir Philip Green, due to be heard before The Consolidated Court of Arizona in and for The County of Pima on 20th February 2020, were dismissed by the Order of the Honourable Justice Vince Roberts on 17th January 2020.
"These matters are now closed."
The complainant, who is in her thirties, said in a police interview obtained by the PA news agency that the "creepy old man" had "vigorously" slapped her bottom up to 10 times in January 2016.
She alleged that on a second occasion in January 2018, Sir Philip had placed his hand around her waist and grabbed her bottom.

Sir Philip's retail empire - which includes brands such as Topshop, Topman and Dorothy Perkins - embarked upon a major restructuring process last year in a bid to cut costs.
Twenty-three UK stores are expected to close, with up to 1,000 jobs at risk.
A further 25 stores are also at risk of closure.

Q: Question about adjunction formula $K_Y = (K_X + Y)|_Y$ I've learnt that if $Y\subset X$ is a smooth subvariety of codimension 1 then the degree of canonical divisors of $Y$ and $X$ are related by
\begin{equation}
\deg K_Y = \deg((K_X + Y)\cap Y).
\end{equation}
However, I'm wondering if I can say more about this relationship. In particular, I have seen the following on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjunction_formula)
\begin{equation}
K_Y = (K_X + Y)|_Y
\end{equation}
which led me to believe that maybe,

\begin{equation}  K_Y = (K_X + Y)\cap Y ? \end{equation}

Where $\cap$ is an intersection product and both sides are equal as divisor classes in $Div(Y)$.
We also know that if $i:Y\rightarrow X$ is an inclusion then $\mathcal{O}_Y(K_Y) = i^*(\mathcal{O}_X(K_X)\otimes \mathcal{O}_X(Y))$. I naively would think that by taking chern class on both sides, we have
\begin{align}
K_Y &= c_1(\mathcal{O}_Y(K_Y)) = c_1(i^*(\mathcal{O}_X(K_X)\otimes \mathcal{O}_X(Y)))\\
&= i^{-1}c_1(\mathcal{O}_X(K_X)\otimes \mathcal{O}_X(Y)) \\
&= i^{-1}(K_X + Y) \\
&= (K_X + Y)\cap Y
\end{align}
which is probably wrong since I don't know much intersection theory. So could someone help me, please? Thank you.

Yale historian on the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy
June 4, 2019 seoexpert Yale 0
On D-Day, June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 American, British, and Canadian forces traveled across the England Channel and landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of France's Normandy region. Codenamed Operation Overlord, it was one of the largest amphibious military invasions in history, with troops arriving via land, air, and sea.
The military operation took years to coordinate — with U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt and Britain's prime minister Winston Churchill at the helm — and included a plan of deception to misdirect the German troops into thinking the invasion was going to take place elsewhere. Tons of equipment and weaponry were transported across the Atlantic Ocean in advance of the invasion.
After a one-day delay due to inclement weather, on the morning of D-Day, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, signaled the start of Operation Overlord. He sent a message to the troops that said in part:
The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely. …
Our Home Fronts have given us a superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world marching together to Victory! …
More than 4,000 Allied soldiers lost their lives during the D-Day invasion, with thousands more either wounded or declared missing in action. The battle lasted until August 1944 and resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany's control.
Jay Winter, the Charles J. Stille Professor of History Emeritus, recently spoke with YaleNews about this historic anniversary. Winter is the author or co-author of 25 books, including, most recently, "War Beyond Words: Languages of Remembrance from the Great War to the Present." In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, the noted Yale historian designed and is leading a trip with a Yale Educational Travel group to retrace the steps of the Allied troops through Western Europe.
What follows is an edited version of that conversation.
Why were the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy such significant events? How did they change the course of World War II and of world history?
The breach of the Atlantic Wall Hitler had built to defend Fortress Europe — the whole continent he dominated — announced the beginning of the end of the Second World War. It meant that Germany could not avoid defeat and that Europe and the world would be divided between the Soviet Union, driving west, and the United States, driving east.
What are some of the myths surrounding D-Day and the Battle of Normandy?
One of the myths surrounding D-Day is that it liberated France. That was a longer and bloodier victory, entailing an American invasion of France near St Tropez in the south and some very hard fighting, not all of which was successful. The German army pushed out of Normandy escaped encirclement, and fought hard for the next year.
You will accompany a Yale Educational Travel tour to commemorate this anniversary. What insights into D-Day do you hope to impart to the participants who are seeing these sights?
The first insight is to see just off the coast of Normandy the ruins of the "Mulberry harbors" or giant links in a portable harbor floated across the English Channel. These landing points were destroyed in terrible storms just 13 days after the landing, indicating to all who see them how near to defeat the landing was. The weather almost destroyed the operation.
What aspects of this event have you revisited or even learned anew from your participation in the planning of this tour?
You have to view the site to appreciate the courage of the men who made the landing possible.
You have to view the site to appreciate the courage of the men who made the landing possible. I have been moved many times by seeing both Point d'Hoc to the west of Omaha beach, where U.S. Rangers scaled 100-foot cliffs under fire, and the site of Pegasus bridge, where British Gliders flying on the night before the landing and launched in Dorset, landed 100 feet from its target, thereby blocking German reinforcements the following day.
Why is it important to recognize and reflect on the anniversaries of historic events such as these?
These events created the world in which we now live. We didn't create this world alone; we did it in a grand alliance, in which millions of men and women from all over the world worked together to defeat the worst dictatorship the world had ever seen.
