Lopez leads, Alonso chasing as dawn breaks at Le Mans
As the sun comes up at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Toyota continues to power ahead at the front of the pack.
Toyota continued to control proceedings in the 24 Hours of Le Mans as dawn broke through the 15th hour, with Jose Maria Lopez leading the way in the #7 car ahead of Fernando Alonso.
Lopez assumed duties from #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid co-driver Kamui Kobayashi for the final night stint at the Circuit de la Sarthe, holding a lead of around a minute over the sister #8 car.
While Alonso was able to put in some quick lap times to whittle the gap down to 50 seconds at one stage, Lopez hit back to re-establish the minute buffer at the front in the early part of his stint.
Rebellion Racing's #3 R13 Gibson continued in a comfortable third overall ahead of the #11 SMP Racing entry, with the two cars separated by almost two minutes at the end of Hour 15.
A fortuitous Safety Car split helped G-Drive Racing open up a big gap at the head of the field in LMP2, with Jean-Eric Vergne completing a quick third stint in the #26 Aurus Gibson before handing over to silver-rated Job van Uitert shortly before daybreak. Van Uitert holds a 90-second lead over race-long rival Nicolas Lapierre in the #36 Signatech Alpine entry.
James Calado continues to lead for AF Corse in GTE-Pro behind the wheel of the #51 Ferrari 488 GTE Evo, but is being chased by Richard Lietz in the #91 Porsche 911 RSR, the gap standing at less than 20 seconds.
Ben Keating holds top spot in GTE-Am in his eponymous team's #85 Ford GT, leading from Team Project 1 and TF Sport.

Unraveling the Life of Calouste Gulbenkian
Philanthropist Calouste Gulbenkian
BY CATHERINE YESAYAN
Many of us may have pondered the question: "Who was Calouste Gulbenkian?" We've wondered how, and why, such a foundation exists. Why is the foundation based in Lisbon, Portugal? I certainly had many questions, which I set out to find answers to. Today, I'm going to discuss what I learned about Calouste Gulbenkian and the philanthropic foundation that thrives under his name.
In October of 2018, I had the chance to visit both the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and the foundation's headquarters in Lisbon. I had been yearning to visit the museum to learn more about the life of the prosperous Armenian known as Mr. Five Per Cent.
While visiting the museum, an official at the foundation helped me get in contact with Razmik Panossian, the Director of the Armenian Communities Department at the Gulbenkian Foundation. I wanted to get some information about the foundation, and about Gulbenkian himself. I was informed by Panossian that, for the commemoration of Gulbenkian's 150th birthday, a new book was set to be published.
Fast forward to April of this year, I was at Abril Bookstore to observe the presentation, and to buy the book Panossian had mentioned. Nestled in the heart of downtown Glendale, where about 80,000 Armenians have made their homes, Abril Bookstore has become a hub for folks who are interested in Armenian literature and culture.
Not long ago Abril Bookstore celebrated its 40th anniversary, a feat well worth mentioning. My kudos to Arno Yeretzian who took over the bookstore after his father's passing in 2010, and continued his father's legacy by creating a space for Armenian culture to thrive by arranging a multitude of events. These events include: author presentations, film screenings, small musical concerts and art exhibitions. In addition, Abril Bookstore holds a very unique collection of Armenian books from different corners of the world.
On April 3, I arrived at Abril Bookstore, about half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, for a book presentation. I was eager to meet Jonathan Conlin, the author of Mr Five Per Cent: The Many Lives of Calouste Gulbenkian, the World's Richest Man, a book about Gulbenkian's life.
The book presentation consisted of a conversation between the Conlin and Salpi Ghazarian, who is the current director of the University of Southern California's Institute of Armenian Studies. She is a USC and UCLA Alumna with degrees in the Arts, History and Library Science.
The turnout at the bookstore for the event was incredible. The room had reached full capacity—about 100 individuals attended. Everybody seemed very enthused to learn about Calouste Gulbenkian's life. The half hour, conversational-type, interview between Ghazarian and Conlin went very well. Afterwards, several audience members voiced their questions.
Ghazarian opened the conversation by saying that the 370 page-book was an easy read. She also praised the author's story-telling abilities.
Conlin described how Gulbenkian became the greatest dealmaker, and the richest man, in the early part of the 20th century. He also spoke about how, in 1955, when Gulbenkian died, the Fortune magazine had not yet begun the naming of the richest men of the world. Thus, his name never made it on the list.
The author added that, at the first part of 20th century, everyone from the Ottoman Sultans to Joseph Stalin sought Gulbenkian's advice in oil policies. Following this statement, a few audience members raised the question of why he didn't use his clout to prevent the massacre of the Armenians in Turkey.

In response Conlin said, "That's a tough and complex question to answer. But, in short, I can tell you that in 1915 Gulbenkian was not in a position to influence either the Sultan or the Ministers. Between1914 to 1923, Gulbenkian was living in London, and he had no contact with the Turkish Regime."
Conlin explained how he was given unprecedented access to Gulbenkian's private papers and archives which were located across the globe: New York, Paris, London, Istanbul, Moscow, and Lisbon. The extensive research and writing of the book took five years.
At one point, Ghazarian asked the audience if anyone in attendance had benefitted from Gulbenkian's scholarships—about half a dozen hands went up.
At the end of the presentation, Arno announced that the book was almost sold out. There were only a few copies left. As the adage goes, "The books went like hot cakes."
Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Museum:
The city of Lisbon was on my list of places to visit. Fortunately, last year, an opportunity to finally visit arose. Lisbon was a stop on a cruise itinerary that we had booked. On Thursday, October 25, 2018 our ship docked in Lisbon.
Through the ship's excursions director, we learned that the hop-on/hop-off tour bus in Lisbon had a stop at the Gulbenkian Museum.
As we disembarked, my husband and I bought two tickets for the tour-bus, and went to discover the story behind the Gulbenkian Foundation. It was a quick ride from the port to the museum.
The Gulbenkian Museum surpassed my expectations. If you're in Lisbon, you must spare a few hours to visit the cultural center. The art collections range from Antiquity to early 20th century. It is one of the best private art collections in the world, amassed over a period of 40 years and donated to the city of Lisbon.
I had not made any prior arrangements to meet with anyone at the foundation's office. However, at the entrance of the museum, there was a guest-service desk where I asked an official if she could connect me to someone at the foundation's office.
She placed a call and, in no time, arranged for me to meet with an official. To get to the foundation's office, I had to cross a garden—which blew my mind away.
The park-like gardens had distinct architecturally designed surroundings, with numerous ponds, bordered with layers of soft plants. The gardens were adorned with a mix of boulders and concrete slabs which created a Zen-like, serene, ambiance that made me to want to sit there and meditate.
If this park was in London, or Paris, it would become one of those iconic places that people would dream of visiting.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation:
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Museum were established one year after Gulbenkian's death in 1956. They were created as a Portuguese foundation for all of humanity.
The foundation as a whole is one of the biggest cultural centers in Portugal. It has a full orchestra that performs classical music throughout the year, including, on occasion, Armenian-related music. Recently, the orchestra played Tigran Mansurian's Requiem to a full house.
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, today, is one of the largest foundations in Europe. Legally it's a private charity in the public interest, with international scope. In 2018, it possessed investment assets of nearly 2.9 billion euros and an annual operational budget of 95.1 million euros. The foundation's main focus is on fostering education and working in the fields of art, charity, and science.
The Gulbenkian Museum consists of two separate parts. The main museum displays the private art collection of Calouste Gulbenkian. The other one is for contemporary art.
The foundation has an Armenian Communities Department, whose main priority has always been to support Armenian students worldwide, promote Armenian studies, as well as Armenian schools. It works with Armenian schools from Argentina to Lebanon.
During the past five years (2014 – 2018) the department has awarded around 5.2 million U.S. dollars in scholarships to 1,207 students, academics, and researchers.
The Armenian Department collaborates with Hamazkayin which, throughout the Armenian Diaspora, is an educational and cultural society.
Over the past few years, as a charitable and humanitarian work, the foundation has partnered with AGBU and the Government of Armenia. It has provided assistance for the tuition fees of over 400 Syrian Armenian students studying in Armenia. Also, the foundation offered humanitarian aid to affected Armenian refugees in the Middle East from 2013 – 2015.
The "core" activity of the Armenian Department is the preservation, advancement and revitalization of Western Armenian. As part of its Western Armenian development the Armenian Communities Department of the foundation finances innovative summer language camps for children and young adults, as well as a teacher training programs, called "Zarmanazan."

This program is very popular with teenagers and young adults who are excited to learn the Armenian language. Every year, 50 – 70 youth benefit from the program.
The focus on Armenian language is followed by academic initiatives that support and promote Armenian studies in the diaspora. For example, in the United States, the foundation collaborates with the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research, the Society for Armenian Studies at UCLA, USC and other universities.
In Turkey, the foundation supports initiatives that promote dialogue between Armenians and Turkish civil society, and gives support to institutions that work in this domain (e.g. Hrant Dink Foundation). It also supports academic research and teaching on Armenian related subjects.
There are nine Armenians employed at the Foundations offices. Four out of eight people working at the Armenian Communities Department are Armenian, including its Director—Razmik Panossian. There are three Armenian musicians in the orchestra, and two Armenians that work in other departments of the foundation. In addition, Calouste Gulbenkian's great-grandson, Martin Essayan, is an executive member of the Board of Trustees.
Celebrating Gulbenkian's 150th birthday:
2019 has been a celebratory year at the foundation, as they celebrated Gulbenkian's 150th birthday anniversary. Since the beginning of the year, there have been many concerts, lectures and special exhibitions.
The celebrations began in January, with the launching Jonathan Conlin's biography of Gulbenkian. The President of Portugal attended, and spoke at, the event.
On March 23, on the actual birthday of Gulbenkian, the foundation celebrated the150th birthday by the opening of an exhibition devoted to the founder. The event consisted of concerts, lectures and a prize ceremony for youth.
Among the promotional activities was a national campaign organized for the Portuguese youth, to answer the question, "Who is Calouste?" through visual arts, music, film and text. The foundation gave over 60,000 euros in prizes. It was a way for Portuguese youth to learn more about Calouste Gulbenkian.
In July, the foundation will launch a book that will illustrate the letters that Gulbenkian wrote to his grandson, Mikael Essayan.
The Portuguese Postal Service, with the collaboration of the Armenian Postal Service, has launched a commemorative postage stamp to mark the 150th anniversary of Gulbenkian's birth.
Now, allow me to give you a quick history about the admirable Calouste Gulbenkian who was a descendent of the prominent Rechduni Princes in Vaspourakan, south of Lake Van, with roots going back to the 4th century.
Jonathan Conlin, in his book, takes the reader on a tour of Gulbenkian's private life, from his upbringing in a wealthy Armenian family, to adulthood—as a young man leading a champagne lifestyle, escorting actresses and showgirls.
Calouste Gulbenkian, was born in Istanbul in 1869. An affluent man, he was nicknamed "Mr. Five Per Cent," because he acquired his tremendous wealth through receiving 5% from oil rights sold in the Middle East. Gulbenkian grew up in a very well-to-do family, who enjoyed cordial relations with the Ottoman court.

Gulbenkian's education began at the Armenian elementary school of Aramyan-Uncuyan in Kadikoy, a neighborhood in Istanbul by the east side of Marmara Sea (the Asian side).Later, he transferred to a French school.
In chapter two, Conlin tells us that children in the Gulbenkian family were brought up by nurses, tutors and governesses, with limited access to their parents. In 1882, 13-year-old Calouste, alongside his tutor "Baron" Devgantz was sent to Marseille to perfect his French.
When he was only 18-years-old, Gulbenkian received his degree in engineering and applied sciences from Kings College in London. Combining his education with his family background, he easily penetrated the oil industry.
In London, at the age of 23, he married Nevarte Essayan, who was also from a wealthy and noble Armenian family, with ties to Ottoman court. They had two kids, Nubar Sarkis and Rita Sirvate.
In 1897, when he was 28-years-old, Gulbenkian established an office in London, and in 1902 he acquired British citizenship. At the age of 40, he became appointed as the economic and financial counselor to the Ottoman embassies in London and Paris.
In 1912 at an early age of 43, he created the Turkish Petroleum Company, which at the start consisted of four partners: the Dutch-British Royal Shell, the National Bank of Turkey, the Deutsche Bank and himself.
Today, the Shell Company at the United States is a subsidiary of the Royal Dutch Shell that Gulbenkian founded in 1912.
Mr. Five Per Cent Moves to Lisbon:
In April of 1942, World War II was in full swing. Both Paris and London were occupied. To avoid the distresses of the war, Gulbenkian was staying in Vichy, France, where he realized that he had been betrayed and mistreated by the British government. Outraged, dismayed and disheartened he decided to pull all of his assets from England.
While in Vichy, Gulbenkian met the Portuguese ambassador, who told him about the charms of Portugal, and how it was the only country in Europe that had escaped the war. So, Mr. Five Per Cent, in spite of the fabulous offers made to him by the United States, finally took up residency in Lisbon.
One fine day in April of 1942, Gulbenkian, accompanied by his wife, his secretary, his masseur, his chef, a dozen cats and his beloved birds, set out to Lisbon in his luxurious Rolls Royce cars. The rest, as they say, is history.
Gulbenkian adopted Portugal and donated his stupendous art collection to the city of Lisbon. After his death a museum and a charitable foundation were established.
In short over the course of his 86 year-long life, Gulbenkian travelled the world, lived through two World Wars, became a diplomat, a businessman, a philanthropist, an art collector and most importantly a visionary in the oil industry.

I just started reading a very recent translation of a book written in Portugese, titled "The Man From Constantinople" by veteran Portuguese reporter and writer J.R.Dos Santos.
It's about Calouste Gulbenkian.
Apparently there's interest in this great armenian.

I made the following video inspired by the new evidence of the last three chapters of Jonathan Conlin's 2018 book, Mr Five Per Cent: The Many Lives of Calouste Gulbenkian, the World's Richest Man:
Gulbenkian Foundation Myth Busted: Philanthropic Intent Dishonoured
https://youtu.be/ogJyxRvG3Fs
In the video's description field in YouTube I've overview in the key topic of the video as set out below.
António de Oliveira Salazar (1889-1970), a leader in the 48 year dictatorship in Portugal from 1933 to 1974 worked secretly with Jose de Azeredo Perdigao, Calouste Gulbenkian's Portugese lawyer.
The last few chapters of Jonathan Colin's 2018 book, Mr Five Per Cent, set out previously unknown facts about how Salazar and Perdigao secretly worked together from the year of Gulbenkian's death, 1955, to distort the Gulbenkian philanthropic intent for the foundation.
From a foundation intended to serve humanity it became one dominated by Portugese causes. This is evident in estimated percentages of foundation funds spent on Portugese causes:
20% offered by Cyril Radcliffe (CSG's English lawyer)
33% sought by Jose Perdigao
45% 1955-1958 actual
85% in recent years
5% Armenian causes
? % non-Portugese and non-Armenian

Interesting Article Catherine,
This prominent families background goes all the way back to Talas/Kayseri where I lived all my youth..Their mansion is still standing, when I visited last year there was a renovation being done by the town.My father was the caretaker of the place during the winter months when the owners moved to Kayseri,so I still remember the inside of this huge place.There are other buildings still in use including one which was inside the grounds of the Talas Amerikan School For Boys (closed in 1967) used as a dormitory .. Originally it was built by the Gulbenkian family as a home later turned into an Armenian Girls School..The town people from my time of the 1950's(not many left) still refer to their most prominent mansion as Gulbenkyan Kosk..If you might have any interest give me your e-mail I will forward you some photos of the buildings mentioned above..have a nice day

I would love to see these pictures!!! I have not read this recent book by Conlin, however I am a dedicated reader of Armenian history. It seems that the book will raise many new questions about Calouste.

The Only issue I have with Mr. Gulbenkyan was donating his art collection to Portugal. Whether you like it or not, these riches will Never leave Portugal. These should all have been in Yerevan today, sadly, we will Only look from afar and marvel at his collection.

We were recently in Portugal. Absolutely a fabulous country to visit. Upon arriving in Lisbon, after 4 days in Porto, I was looking forward to finally visit the Gulbenkian museum. so the second morning we found out which subway would get us there and after 5 stops we got out of the station and I could not take my steps fast enough to get to the gate. I was wowed by everything I saw and finally we got to the main building. We started walking room by room with every room that contained magnificent pieces of art and sculptures from many different countries around the globe I started feeling a little let down. I forgot that I was in an otherwise great museum and all I could think about was there was nothing by an Armenian painter, sculptor which I must say we have no shortage of. Not even a single Ayvazovski painting… The only mention of Armenian anything was a small manuscript in the "Islamic Art" building. There were 2 pictures of Greek refugees getting out of a boat who had just escaped the massacres in Smyrna. But were there any pictures depicting the Armenian genocide? None… And one poster mentioning
Catherine Yesayan - October 15, 2019 said:
You are absolutely right. It seems Mr. Gulbenkian was far removed from his Armenian heritage.


Mooted for several months, and now enshrined in legislation, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has effectively wrested control of inner Sydney's traffic management and planning from Mayor Clover Moore after legislation passed through parliament this month to form a joint state-city traffic control committee.
NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay says the legislation is to ensure major transport decisions are 'properly' coordinated between the NSW Government and City of Sydney Council.
The City of Sydney Amendment (Central Sydney Traffic and Transport Committee) Bill 2012 allows for the establishment of a Central Sydney Traffic and Transport Committee, to be responsible for coordinating plans and policies for public transport and traffic within central Sydney and making decisions on major transport issues.
"Sydney is Australia's only global city and the CBD deserves a first rate and properly functioning roads and transport system," Gay says.
He says both levels of government need to work together to ensure the best possible outcomes are delivered so the state can move forward.
"Currently the NSW Government and Council share transport and roads responsibilities and there is ad hoc coordination between the two levels of Government," he says.
"The Central Sydney Traffic and Transport Committee will, for the first time, bring all traffic and transport decision-making under the one umbrella, co-ordinating the activities of 14 transport working groups, on which the City and State agencies are currently represented."
Gay says the NSW Government was in disagreement with the Council on a number of transport issues including speed limits and car access to the CBD, the provision of layover space for buses, the extension of the network of bikeways and the extension of low-speed shared zones.
The Central Sydney Traffic and Transport Committee will be chaired by the Director General of Transport for NSW, Les Wielinga, and include an additional three members nominated by the NSW Government and three by the Council.

Bookmans Recommends: You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
by Todd W September 10, 2015
Bookie Blog, Play: A Gamer's Blog
By C'loni Bailey, Assistant Manager at Bookmans Mesa
I've been a Felicia Day fan since her comedy web series The Guild debuted on YouTube in 2007, introducing the world to the trials and tribulations of Cyd Sherman and her gaming guild as they try to make sense of real life outside of video games. As a female gamer, it is refreshing to see the world of gaming represented from a female perspective. I connect with the socially awkward but well-meaning Cyd as she struggles with life, love and the pursuit of a real life connection with her eccentric online gaming friends.
Day has gone on to conquer the Internet with her production company Geek and Sundry, which produces web videos that cover all aspects of the geek world including sci-fi and fantasy literature on Sword and Laser, board games and tabletop gaming on TableTop hosted by Wil Wheaton, and retro gaming on Co-Optitude featuring her brother Ryan Day. She also appears in several television series, garnering a huge following for her portrayals of Penny in Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, as well as Charlie on the wildly popular Supernatural.
In her new memoir You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), Day chronicles her home-schooled and largely friendless early years that eventually led to a reliance on the Internet to forge a connection with the kinds of people she couldn't connect with in her everyday life. She shares her adolescent Internet memories, such as meeting her first fan collective. This was a group of gamers called the Ultima Dragons who celebrate the PC game Ultima. She experiences her first awkward kiss at an Ultima Dragons meet up. Having spent much of my adolescence seeking an emotional connection with faceless people via AOL role-play chat rooms, I can relate.
After pursuing dual college degrees in math and music, then deciding to toss those aside to pursue a career in acting, Day finds herself feeling less than satisfied with her status as a commercial actor and quirky "cat secretary" roles. She turns to filling the emotional void with online gaming. Online gaming can be addictive, especially if you have nothing else that feels concrete or emotionally rewarding. Many gamers fall into this trap and it can be hard to break out of. Ironically it is Day's gaming addiction that gives her the idea for The Guild, which forces her out of her gaming addiction to focus on writing the material she wants to be in. With the success of The Guild and numerous other creative projects she helms, Day has become a force of nature in the gaming and geek world.
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a hilariously nostalgic and endearing look into the eccentricities of Day's life that lead to her to embrace her weirdness and take pride in what makes her unique. "Embrace Your Weird" is the slogan on her T-shirts and she encourages everyone to do the same. I wish this memoir was longer, but Day has to save some material for her next book! At least, I hope there will be a next book.
You can purchase your own "Embrace Your Weird" T-shirt at https://represent.com/felicia. Proceeds go to the non-profit anti-cyberbullying charity "Stomp Out Bullying".

then i want one help to u.
AFAIK, you can't change that with script alone.
Maybe this trick works for you?
please help if any other way is possible.
Pleae read the Update section at the top of this article.
The other one this code doesn't work (win 200 srv sp4 ie6) :( I get the folowing error: "438 object doesn't support this property or method"
Regarding "How Do I Print From Internet Explorer Without Raising a Confirmation Dialog"
...you now say "better alternatives are available". Could you tell me what they are and where I could find more about using them?
"are now considered obsolete possibly because better alternatives are available."
So, in this case, there are no work arounds; AFAIK, this is no longer supported in IE.
Is there a way to print with our the dialog box, or only can it be done witha activex object?
I have managed to doit for IE 6, IE7 but for firefox and other browsers estill send the dialog box.
As indicated at the top of the article, this code no longer works; at least not in modern browsers. I know of no way around it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Why electronic door access control?
Electronic door access control provides the most efficient and convenient way of securing your building and assets. Firsteye can supply you with a new door access system, upgrade an existing system, and service and maintain all kids of door access systems. Having an access control system fitted means you can avoid the weakness of unauthorised access resulting in opportunist theft, malicious damage and threats to personal safety. From a single door or gate lock to multiple user systems, we'll find an access control solution for you.
Access Control gives you a flexible security system and enables you to control who has access to your building at any time. With an access control system, you'll be able to issue tokens for access through specific controlled doors, bar lost tokens from the system to prevent unauthorised access, and you'll never need to change a lock again. Having flexible control over users' access rights and the ability to restrict access to a single door/gate or series of doors means you'll always be assured everyone is where they should be with no unauthorised access. Connection to other systems such as fire alarms and CCTV systems offers you complete control and security.
Access control is not just for offices, shops, warehouses, factories and commercial buildings; it can also be useful to help landlords safeguard vulnerable residents in rented accommodation or control access to multiple residency flats and apartment blocks. Schools, colleges, nurseries and childcare centres are also increasingly taking advantage of the many functions of a door access system to allow then to protect the children and young people in their care and keep them safe.
Standalone Access Control or Networked Access Control?
There are two main types of access control systems, standalone and network/PC based access control.
Standalone systems are straightforward to operate and work best for controlling a single gate or door, or several doors in series. They are individually programmed at each door so are best suited to a smaller number of users. Access at each door is via keypad code number, or swipe card, fob or token presented to a reader. These systems are ideal for small business premises such as shops or offices, membership only clubs, individual storage units or flats and apartments.
Networked or PC based systems are controlled from one central computer or by logging onto networked access control software. Users then have the capability to control all access points with a control system fitted from anywhere in the building, creating individual or group user access pathways and issuing or barring access cards, fobs and tokens as needed.
Networked systems also have a reporting facility in their software, allowing you to see exactly who has passed through each door or access point and when. The capabilities of networked systems are best suited to companies who need multiple user access with individual control, or have sites with multiple buildings such as universities, large corporate or commercial buildings, and industrial sites.
Our engineers are specially to trained to fit Paxton Access Control systems, the most trusted brand in access control, so you can be sure access to your building is in safe and experienced hands. Firsteye engineers will design, fit and programme an access control system specific to the working needs of your staff, customers and building.
Paxton's Net2 system is a popular choice as it can be fitted to anything from one door or gate to over a hundred, and is networked to a PC or internal computer system of your choice for complete control.
And much more – our engineers will be happy to advise the best combination for your needs.

                Height = 1200,
                Width = 1200
            }
        };
        String message = "";
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(QRtxt.Text))

And there is XAML code of Image:

            StorageFile file = await localFolder.CreateFileAsync("savedimage.jpg", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
            var renderTargetBitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap();
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Rendering an image.");

            await renderTargetBitmap.RenderAsync(QRimage);
            var pixels = await renderTargetBitmap.GetPixelsAsync();

            using (IRandomAccessStream stream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Save QR code to jpg.");

                var encoder = await BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(BitmapEncoder.PngEncoderId, stream);
                byte[] bytes = pixels.ToArray();
                encoder.SetPixelData(

Q: Is the quotient of a $K(\pi,1)$ by a discrete subset still an Eilenberg-MacLane space? Let $X$ be a discrete subset of a $K(\pi,1)$. Is the quotient space $K(\pi,1)/X$ still a $K(\pi',1)$? If so, what is $\pi'$?

A: The quotient of a pathconnected space $A$ by an $n$-point subspace is homotopy equivalent to $A\vee \bigvee\limits_{n-1} S^1$. And $K(\pi,1)\vee S^1=K(\pi*\mathbb Z,1)$. So the answer is, yes, for $\pi'=\pi*F_{n-1}$.
Upd. To make the answer more... self-contained, let me also sketch the proof of the first claim for $n=2$. The crucial lemma: if $X$ is a CW-complex, $Y\subset X$ -- a contractible subcomplex, then $X/Y\cong X$ (the proof can be found in any AT textbook -- for example, see Proposition 0.17 of Hatcher's book).
Now for any 2-point subset $\{a,b\}$ of $A$ take $X=A\cup[0,1]/(0\sim a,1\sim b)$ and apply the lemma for $Y_1=[0,1]$ and for $Y_2$ equal to path $\gamma$ from $a$ to $b$ in $X$ (actually, one has to be slightly more careful here -- because sometimes such path is not a subcomplex etc, but let's ignore this for now): $A/\{a,b\}=X/Y_1\cong X\cong X/Y_2=(A/\gamma)\vee S^1\cong A\vee S^1$.


There has been some dispute over Major Lance's birth year; some sources claim he was born in 1941 or in 1942 (as Lance claimed). However, 1939 appears to be the correct year of birth. In the 1940 U.S. Census, there is a "Mager" Lance listed in Washington County, Mississippi, as the one-year-old son of Lucendy Lance, a widow. Lance's gravestone also states he was born in 1939.

Minister defends under-fire settlement scheme for EU citizens
By Press Association Share
By David Hughes and Sophie Morris, PA Political Staff
A minister has defended the settlement scheme for EU citizens in the UK as it came under fire from Poland's ambassador and a senior MEP.
Polish ambassador to the UK Arkady Rzegocki said there were "quite a lot of problems" with the system.
Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's Brexit co-ordinator, hit out at the "bureaucratic" process which had even caused problems for EU citizens who had been in the UK for decades.
But Home Office minister Victoria Atkins insisted the Government wanted to make the process "as easy as possible".
Mr Verhofstadt told MEPs in Strasbourg: "There are, every day in the British press, examples of people already living one decade, even two decades, in Britain who cannot have this so-called settled status.
"I think we need a fundamental shift in the way the UK Government applies at least that part of the Withdrawal Agreement.
"What we don't need is a bureaucratic application as it is now. What we need from the British Government is an automatic registration of all our EU citizens."
Following Prime Minister Boris Johnson's call for the UK to be like the Incredible Hulk and break free of the EU's "manacles", Mr Verhofstadt said Mr Johnson should be more like the caring Mrs Doubtfire.
"Instead of playing the angry Hulk, I think he should inspire himself by another character - the caring nanny, the film of Mrs Doubtfire with the late Robin Williams."
Mr Rzegocki used an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today to set out his concerns with the system.
"It is straightforward but we are concerned about this process a little," he said.
"Forty-two per cent of EU citizens who have applied to achieve settled status have had problems. Many have received pre-settled status.
"Many people do not realise they have to register as they have lived here for many years - even if they have resident status, they still have to register."
Mr Rzegocki continued: "There are quite a lot of problems with people trying to receive settled status. People who have been here five or 10 years have also had problems."
But Ms Atkins told the programme: "These people are our friends, our neighbours, we want to make this as easy as possible."
Ms Atkins said the Government has finalised 1.1 million applications already, with another 300,000 applications currently live.
She continued: "The system was designed with the EU.
"We absolutely appreciate that there will be some people who don't have documentation to prove they are part of our country, but we have invested in advertising campaigns to ensure people can be assisted."
EU citizens and their families still have until at least December 2020 to apply to the EU settlement scheme.

Bed & Breakfast "Huize Doeschot" is an original farmhouse. Located on the boarder of the village Westerland and situated on the slope of the "Westerlander Bult", the highest stowing-dune on the island. The house is complete restored to a living in 1992.
Wieringen have its own monuments, which reminds you to a long history. Examples are old farmhouses, churches and museums like "Museum Jan Lont" which shows you the earlier living. Also very interesting is the "Viking Information Centrum" and the "House of the Wadden". In the picturesque fisher-harbour Den Oever is a weekly fresh-fish-market; an apprehension in the surroundings.
We suggest also nice trips in our surroundings following. The wide beaches alongside the Noordsea and the dunes are nearby. On the "safe" country-behind Wieringen, you will find the old Hanse-cities Hoorn, Alkmaar and Enkhuizen. Cities which became to an enormous prosperity during the "Golden Century", and now fully are restored. And Amsterdam is only 50 minutes a distance by car.
Also we advice you the wide polder Wieringermeer and the old country-region West-Friesland. In the polder Anna Paulowna you will find in the spring the fields with bulbs full flowering; a living painting. Unique is the dam "Afsluitdijk"; in the middle is a point of view, from which you have nice views over the Waddensea and IJsselmeer, up to the coastlines of Friesland and Noord-Holland.


Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey is listed as questionable for the Sept. 22 Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets with a hamstring injury.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey is listed as questionable for the Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets on Sept. 22.
"For the second straight week, the Chicago Bears head into a primetime matchup with starting receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey listed as questionable.
"Jeffrey practiced on a limited basis all week with a hamstring injury. Marshall was limited Saturday after missing practices on Thursday and Friday with an ankle injury.
"The duo was declared questionable last week before ultimately playing. Marshall's three touchdowns keyed the Bears' 28-20 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
"We expect both to play Monday night against the New York Jets. Their presence -- even if not at full strength -- against a secondary that allowed Jordy Nelson to go HAM last week will go a long way toward Chicago's road chances.
"Fantasy footballers, however, will undoubtedly wring their hands at the questionable designation."
The Bears' injury woes don't stop there.
"The Chicago Bears announced Saturday they'd face the New York Jets on Monday night without center Roberto Garza (ankle), left guard Matt Slauson (ankle), cornerback Sherrick McManis (quadriceps), defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff (concussion) and linebacker Shea McClellin (hand).
"The club held out all five players for Saturday's workout. Receivers Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Alshon Jeffrey (hamstring) participated in a limited capacity, and are officially listed as questionable. Both are expected to play against the Jets.
"In other injury news, the club officially listed defensive end Jared Allen (back), safety Chris Conte (shoulder) and receiver Josh Morgan (groin) as probable. Defensive end trevor Scott (foot) is doubtful.
"It was expected that Garza and Slauson would miss Monday's game after sitting out last week's win against the San Francisco 49ers, with Brian de la Puente and Michael Ola serving as their replacements. But the unavailability of Ratliff and McClellin forces the Bears to reshuffle the lineup for the starting defense.
"With Ratfliff out of the defensive line rotation, the Bears will lean more heavily on rookies Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton.
"McClellin's expected absence means Jonathan Bostic will start at strong linebacker.
"McClellin participated on a limited basis on Thursday, but suffered a hand injury at practice that kept him out of action on Friday and Saturday.
"'We've got a lot of different options,' Bears coach Marc Trestman said. 'We're disappointed for (McClellin) because he has been getting better. We've watched him so hard to learn a new position, get his body the way he's gotten it to play the position. We know he'll be out this week. We'll see where we are next week.'"

While most children are used to having their pictures taken, having a family photo shoot is usually a new experience for them. All of a sudden, there is a stranger standing in front of them with a big camera and an even bigger lens which can be super exciting and daunting at once. It is therefore important that in the first few minutes everyone becomes comfortable with one another. In the past, Andy has achieved this by telling children that he "needed help" setting up the camera or finding a good spot as most kids will love the attention and the opportunity to explore a little. If a child is particularly shy, it can sometimes help to show them the camera and ask them if they can see it "wink" when the shutter clicks.
Once everyone is settled and feeling comfortable around the camera, we try to get the images and poses we want done straight away as children in particular become easily bored or frustrated. If there are any particular poses you must have or images you have seen which inspired you, please share them with us as soon as possible before the actual shoot as that way these will be done first. Early on, kids won't mind sitting on laps or smiling, however, this cooperation seldom lasts for long.
Even with the best intentions, sometimes a child won't cooperate even for the first posed photo and although it's understandable that a parent might feel stressed when this happens, it's important that you continue to look at the camera and not down at your child who may be pouting. Having a professional camera allows a photographer to take a large number of clicks within a short amount of time and more often than not, Andy is able to elicit a cheeky grin from a child while taking pictures. It would be a shame that if during that brief moment where the child smiling, his or her parents are staring down in distress instead of looking at the camera. And if your child is really not cooperating at all, Andy will just get up and say, "We'll get one in a few minutes. Let's explore" which will lighten the mood and allow everyone to relax before trying again.
When doing a family photo shoot, it's important to keep moving as little kids won't let you stop moving anyway. We don't expect to be able to sit and adjust a pose for more than 20 seconds but instead will tell children (and their parents) to hug or tickle or kiss on the cheek and click away. After that, we will get up and walk to another spot where we have the kids picking flowers or throwing leaves or climbing a tree It is important that we let the children interact with the location and the more the adults join in the better. While moving along will provide a variety of photos, it also allows everyone to release some energy making it possible to try for posed pictures again.
While family photo shoots should be short and sweet, there may be times when breaks are needed and if snacks are on hand, even better. Small snacks that don't make crumbs are the best for these occasions such as pieces of fruit, fruit snacks or trail mix as they can be eaten quickly and won't smear all over faces. Cookies or crisps on the other hand can make a big mess as crumbs will be everywhere – on faces, fingers and cloths.

The Joy of Trail Cams
Posted on December 1, 2011 by Marcia Bonta	| 4 Comments
All photos and videos in this column are from trail cams on the mountain placed and monitored by the Scotts. (If you're reading this via email or in a feed reader, you may have to click through to see the videos.)
Almost as soon as they settled into their new home, back in 2009, our caretaker couple — Troy and Paula Scott — installed three strobe cameras. As avid hunters, they were interested initially in monitoring the movements of deer over our square mile of mountain property.
But soon they were capturing other creatures on their cameras, especially at night. Paula quickly became the chief monitor of their cameras, and when the company that produced their strobe cameras — Wild Game Innovation — came out with video cameras, they purchased three of them.
Paula admits that monitoring the cameras throughout the year is addictive to her. She used to dislike winter, once hunting season ended, but now it's her favorite time of year. That's because she uses bait to attract a wide range of wild creatures. She hangs a discarded deer carcass by a wire from a tree limb, so it swings a foot or two off the ground directly in front of a camera.
Of course, when bears are abroad, she does not use bait, although she did get a bear on the surprising date of February 27. And that's what she likes most about the cameras. She learns more about animal behavior especially with the video cameras. In less than two years, she has gotten excellent footage of 15 species of birds and mammals.
Her favorite sighting so far has been of two different fishers that kept returning to the bait. One especially she describes as a "camera ham." It swung back and forth with the carcass and often faced the camera. Then it turned on its back and rolled with the carcass. All the while it seemed puzzled by this strange source of food.
Both Paula and I have had excellent sightings of fishers in our woods. We've also seen tracks in the snow. But the video footage of fishers gave us a whole new perspective on fisher behavior.
Watching two raccoons and an opossum feeding peacefully around the carcass was another surprising behavior observation for Paula.
"I figured they would be competitive and they weren't," she says.
She was also surprised that an American crow fed beside five turkey vultures.
And both she and Troy were amused and chagrined when an old hen decoy they had used to unsuccessfully attract gobblers years ago proved irresistible to six jakes at a time. She even has a video of a gobbler displaying in front of the decoy.
Besides the fishers, her other favorite sightings are several photos of a bobcat at the bait at night and a lovely video of a red-tailed hawk near the bait during a snowy day. I'm particularly fond of photos she has of red and gray foxes, despite the presence of coyotes in our area, because coyotes are supposed to prey on red foxes.
Recently they used a camera to find out what was chewing on their new deck at night. As they suspected, it was a porcupine. Instead of killing it, they put a cayenne pepper mixture on the deck and so far it's kept the porcupine away.
Their original plan, to document deer, also has worked out well. They even have videos of a buck making a scrape and putting his scent on an overhanging limb. Paula cautions, though, that putting the cameras out during deer breeding season gives a false sense of the number of bucks in a hunting area because bucks come in from adjoining properties in search of doe.
When targeting deer, they put the cameras along obvious deer trails, leave them for a month, and then switch them. For other animals, it depends on the time of year and how successful the location is in capturing wildlife footage.
Learning how to obtain good images during the day means positioning them so that the sun doesn't shine on them, otherwise, you end up with a lot of white footage, she says. You also have to hope that a bear won't take issue with them. Paula's brother-in-law Jeff had one ripped off and stomped into pieces, but so far they've been lucky. Only two cameras have been pulled down but not damaged.
Paula says in summary that, "these cameras, if you utilize them all year, pay for themselves. If you have a deer interest, as we did, and invest in cameras, you see it's just not deer out there. It's a lot of things."
a bobcat at the bait pile
Discovering what's out there has tempted folks throughout the world to invest in trail cameras. One writer friend, Ken Lamberton, recently posted on Facebook a beautiful photo of a cougar on a fallen tree in the Mule Mountains of southern Arizona where he and his wife Karen live.
Speaking of cougars, Valentine, Nebraska businessman Kirk Sharp has 16 trail cameras posted around his ranch, which is a half-mile north of Rocky Ford on the Niobrara River in the wild north-central section of Nebraska. One of his cameras, mounted on a wooden fencepost, captured a cougar closely chasing a deer at 11:00 p.m. It was the first authenticated footage of a cougar chasing prey in the state, although since there was a deep canyon directly in front of them, no one knows the outcome.
James Hill III of Waterford Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania wondered what was taking the suet at his feeders. Hill, the founder of the Purple Martin Society, has a 150-acre wildlife sanctuary. Although he figured a bear was probably doing the damage, he put out a camera with a motion detector. To his surprise it was a sow with two cubs sharing the suet with them.
"I was astonished," Hill says. "I never figured there'd be a family. I'm happy to have them."
While individuals are enjoying their cameras, and finding out more about wildlife on their properties, so too are wildlife biologists. For instance, two researchers from Texas Tech University — Blake Gresham and Phil Borsdorf — have been studying the endangered lesser prairie chicken at The Nature Conservancy's Yoakum Dunes Preserve near Lubbock, Texas. By erecting remote video cameras on 15 water tanks at the Preserve, they photographed 800 visits to the tanks by lesser prairie chickens, disproving the belief that the birds don't need open water because they get enough moisture, except during drought, from succulent plants, insects, and dew. Gresham and Borsdorf found that hens especially needed extra water during nesting time because it takes a cup and a half of water to produce a clutch of ten eggs.
Conservation organizations are also starting to utilize trail cameras. A recent article in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Biological Sciences entitled "Community Structure and Diversity of Tropical Forest Mammals: Data from a Global Camera Trap Network" recounts the results from the world's first global camera trap mammal study. It involved nearly 52,000 candid shots of 105 mammal species from seven tropical sites around the globe.
The camera traps, low on the ground, made no noise and emitted no light so poachers couldn't spot them at night. But in Africa, elephants, like our black bears, don't like strange objects in their territory and tried to crush them.
Jorge Ahumada, the lead author and an ecologist with the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring Network (TEAM) says that "The study shows for us that for the conservation of these mammal species, size matters; …the size of the protected area and the degree of human activity around it have an effect on the …diversity of these animal communities."
The Central Suriname Nature Reserve in South America had the most diversity — 28 species — while Nam Kading in Lao Public Democratic Republic in southeast Asia had the least — 13 species. The other sites included Uganda and Tanzania in Africa, Indonesia in Southeast Asia, Brazil in South America and Costa Rica in Central America.
The study ran from 2008-10 under the auspices of Conservation International, the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. Because of its success, they have expanded it into 17 wilderness areas in Panama, Brazil, Peru, Madagascar, Congo, Cameroon, Malaysia and India. Ahuda says that these cameras "are reliable observers of the state of our world," and the study concludes that "camera traps are a useful, efficient, cost-effective, easily replicable tool to study and monitor terrestrial mammals."
They are also useful for studying large raptors. Dr. Todd Katzner at West Virginia University, along with Kieran O'Malley and Rob Tallman of the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, is using them for estimating the size of the wintering golden eagle population in the Appalachians including Pennsylvania. The bait is road-killed deer dumped into a small clearing surrounded by tall trees where golden eagles can perch. The bait should be opened along the legs and abdomen to draw in common ravens and other birds that, in turn, alert eagles. Like Paula's bait, it must be wired to keep it from being dragged off by other animals. The camera should be oriented to the north because that ensures that the sun is to the side or behind the camera, thus preventing white photos. The study is run from January 1 to February 15, and we are hoping to find a good place on our property for Paula to set up a camera.
Hunters in the United States, who first popularized the use of cameras to monitor deer presence, should feel proud of how useful these cameras have become in wildlife monitoring and conservation.

Dana Michelle Tibbetts
December 5, 1967 - February 25, 2021
What can I say about my daughter, Dana? She loved being a kid at heart, and was a "free spirit". She often told me, "mom, I never want to grow up!" She wanted to be like Peter Pan. At 53, she loved doing tricks on her bike, riding a skateboard, loved muscle cars and wanted a souped-up truck. Dana loved playing the drums and singing with her friends; Glen (drummer), Lori (singer) and Kevin and Stacy on the guitar. A free spirit with a big heart, Dana was an animal lover, feeding a squirrel she had named in the backyard every day along with the birds and Ducks. Family was so important to her and she adored her nieces and nephews. She loved swimming with them and playing with them. I have seen her give food and drinks to homeless and hungry people. I remember one day she wanted me to go to the Dollar Tree. She said she had to get toys and some candy for a little boy who lived in the project. She said his family was poor and he had no toys. He always ran up to her and said "this my friend" and jumped in her arms. This was before she brought him a gift. I took her there once a week. She would not let me get out the car and go with her. She was sad when he and his family moved away. She loved the outdoors so much. When Dana was a pre-teen, she lived with her Dad in Alaska. She rode a dirt bike, took Karate, camped out, went fishing, and water-skied. She and I loved to watch movies together and go to St Augustine, Disney World, out to eat and shop. I am going to miss my baby girl! But now she will always be young and live forever, just like Peter Pan!
