Concord (/ˈkɒn.kɔɹd/, or locally /ˈkaŋ.kəɹd/) is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the United States. At the 2010 census, the town population was 17,668.[1] The United States Census Bureau considers Concord part of Greater Boston. The town center is located near where the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers forms the Concord River.
The area which became the town of Concord was originally known as Musketaquid, an Algonquian word for "grassy plain". It was one of the scenes of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the initial conflict in the American Revolutionary War. It developed into a remarkably rich literary center during the mid-nineteenth century. Featured were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bronson Alcott, Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau, all of whose homes are preserved in modern-day Concord. The now-ubiquitous Concord grape was developed here.
Prehistory and founding

The area which became the town of Concord was originally known as "Musketaquid", situated at the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers.[2] The name Musketaquid was an Algonquian word for "grassy plain", fitting the area's low-lying marshes and kettle holes.[3] Native Americans had cultivated corn crops there; the rivers were rich with fish and the land was lush and arable.[4] However, the area was largely depopulated by the smallpox plague that swept across the Americas after the arrival of Europeans.[5]
In 1635, a group of settlers from Britain led by Rev . Peter Bulkley and Major Simon Willard negotiated a land purchase with the remnants of the local tribe. Bulkley was an influential religious leader who "carried a good number of planters with him into the woods";[6] Willard was a canny trader who spoke the Algonquian language and had gained the trust of Native Americans.[7] They exchanged wampum, hatchets, knives, cloth, and other useful items for the six-square-mile purchase which formed the basis of the new town, called "Concord" in appreciation of the peaceful acquisition.[2][8]
Battle of Lexington and Concord
Main article: Battles of Lexington and Concord
The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the first conflict in the American Revolutionary War. On April 19, 1775, a force of British Army regulars marched from Boston to Concord to capture a cache of arms that was reportedly stored in the town. Forewarned by Paul Revere and other messengers, the colonists mustered in opposition. Following an early-morning skirmish at Lexington, where the first shots of the battle were fired, the British expedition under the command of Lt. Col. Francis Smith advanced to Concord. There, colonists from Concord and surrounding towns (notably a highly drilled company from Acton led by Isaac Davis) repulsed a British detachment at the Old North Bridge and forced the British troops to retreat.[9] Subsequently, militia arriving from across the region harried the British troops on their return to Boston, culminating in the Siege of Boston and outbreak of the war.
The battle was initially publicized by the colonists as an example of British brutality and aggression: one colonial broadside decried the "Bloody Butchery of the British Troops."[10] A century later, however, the conflict was remembered proudly by Americans, taking on a patriotic, almost mythic status ("the shot heard 'round the world") in works like the "Concord Hymn" and "Paul Revere's Ride."[11] In April 1975, the town hosted a bicentennial celebration of the battle, featuring an address at the Old North Bridge by President Gerald Ford.[12]
The Old Manse, home to Ralph Waldo Emerson and later Nathaniel Hawthorne
Concord has a remarkably rich literary history centered in the mid-nineteenth century around Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), who moved to the town in 1835 and quickly became its most prominent citizen.[13] Emerson, a successful lecturer and philosopher, had deep roots in the town: his father Rev. William Emerson (1769–1811) grew up in Concord before becoming an eminent Boston minister, and his grandfather, William Emerson Sr., witnessed the battle at the North Bridge from his house, and later became a chaplain in the Continental Army.[14] Emerson was at the center of a group of like-minded Transcendentalists living in Concord.[15] Among them were the author Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) and the philosopher Bronson Alcott (1799–1888), the father of Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888). A native Concordian, Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862), was another notable member of Emerson's circle. This substantial collection of literary talent in one small town led Henry James to dub Concord "the biggest little place in America."[16]
Among the products of this intellectually stimulating environment were Emerson's many essays, including Self-Reliance (1841), Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women (1868), and Hawthorne's story collection Mosses from an Old Manse (1846).[17] Thoreau famously lived in a small cabin near Walden Pond, where he wrote Walden (1854).[18] After being imprisoned in the Concord jail for refusing to pay taxes in political protest against slavery and the Mexican-American War, Thoreau penned the influential essay "Resistance to Civil Government", popularly known as Civil Disobedience (1849).[19] Evidencing their strong political beliefs through actions, Thoreau and many of his neighbors served as station masters and agents on the Underground Railroad.[20]
The Wayside house, located on Lexington Road, has been home to a number of authors.[21] It was occupied by scientist John Winthrop (1714–1779) when Harvard College was temporarily moved to Concord during the Revolutionary War.[22] The Wayside was later the home of the Alcott family (who referred to it as "Hillside"); the Alcotts sold it to Hawthorne in 1852, and the family moved into the adjacent Orchard House in 1858. Hawthorne dubbed the house "The Wayside" and lived there until his death. The house was purchased in 1883 by Boston publisher Daniel Lothrop and his wife, Harriett, who wrote the Five Little Peppers series and other children's books under the pen name Margaret Sidney.[23] Today, The Wayside and the Orchard House are both museums. Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, and the Alcotts are buried on Authors' Ridge in Concord's Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.[24]
Concord maintains a lively literary culture to this day; notable authors who have called the town home in recent years include Doris Kearns Goodwin, Alan Lightman, Robert B. Parker, and Gregory Maguire.
In 1849 Ephraim Bull developed the now-ubiquitous Concord grape at his home on Lexington Road, where the original vine still grows.[25] Welch's, the first company to sell grape juice, maintains a small headquarters in Concord.[26] Boston-born Ephraim Wales Bull developed the Concord grape by experimenting with seeds from some of the native species. On his farm outside Concord, down the road from the Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne and Alcott homesteads, he planted some 22,000 seedlings in all, before he had produced the ideal grape. Early ripening, to escape the killing northern frosts, but with a rich, full-bodied flavor, the hardy Concord grape thrives where European cuttings had failed to survive. In 1853, Mr. Bull felt ready to put the first bunches of his Concord grapes before the public -- and won a prize at the Boston Horticultural Society Exhibition. From these early arbors, fame of Mr. Bull's ("the father of the Concord grape") Concord grape spread world-wide, bringing him up to $1,000 a cutting, but he died a relatively poor man. The inscription on his tombstone states, "He sowed--others reaped." http://www.concordgrape.org/bodyhistory.html
Plastic bottle ban
On September 5, 2012, Concord became the first community in the United States to approve a ban on the sale of water in single-serving plastic bottles. The law bans the sale of PET bottles of one liter or less starting on January 1, 2013.[27] The ban provoked significant national controversy. An editorial in the Los Angeles Times characterized the ban as "born of convoluted reasoning" and "wrongheaded."[28] Some residents have stated that this ban will not do much to affect the sales of bottled water, which is still highly accessible in the surrounding areas,[29] and believe that it restricts consumers' freedom of choice.[30] Opponents also consider the ban to represent unfair targeting of one product in particular, when other, less healthy alternatives such as soda and fruit juice are still readily available in bottled form.[31][32] Nonetheless, subsequent efforts to repeal Concord's plastic bottled water ban have failed in open town meeting.[33] An effort to repeal Concord's ban on the sale of plastic water bottles was resoundingly defeated at Town Meeting. Resident Jean Hill, who led the initial fight for the ban. Town Moderator Eric Van Loon didn't even bother taking an official tally because the opposition to the ban was so overwhelming. It appeared that upwards of 80 to 90 percent of the 1,127 voters at town meeting raised their ballots against the repeal measure. The issue has been bubbling in Concord for several years. In 2010, a town meeting-approved ban, which wasn't written as a bylaw, was rejected by the state attorney generals office. In 2011, a new version of the ban narrowly failed at town meeting, by a vote of 265 to 272. The ban on selling water in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles of one liter or less passed in 2012 by a vote of 403 to 364, and a repeal effort in April failed by a vote of 621 to 687.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 25.9 square miles (67 km2), of which 24.9 square miles (64 km2) is land and 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), or 3.75%, is water. The city of Lowell is 13 miles (21 km) to the north, Boston is 19 miles (31 km) to the east, and Nashua, New Hampshire, is 23 miles (37 km) to the north.
Massachusetts state routes 2, 2A, 62, 126, 119, 111, and 117 pass through Concord.
Concord borders the towns of Carlisle, Bedford, Lincoln, Sudbury, Maynard and Acton.
The town center is located near the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers, forming the Concord River, which flows north to the Merrimack River in Lowell. Gunpowder was manufactured from 1835 to 1940 in the American Powder Mills complex extending upstream along the Assabet River.[34]

The town's name is usually pronounced by its residents as /ˈkɒŋkərd/,[47] in a manner indistinguishable from the American pronunciation of the word "conquered".[48]
Speakers with a Boston accent often pronounce "Concord" with the [ə] in the second syllable replaced by [ʏ] ([ˈkɒŋkʏd]).

I had grand plans for tonight, New Years Eve 2011. Grand plans.
Friends are getting married, which always makes for a fun party. I had my dress picked out. I've been walking around in my favorite pair of heels to remind me what it's like to walk with spikes under my feet. I had a shopping list of all the things I need from stores not in my ND boom town. I promised to see friends. I told the mother of the groom that "I'll see you there!"
Nothing major, but enough of a bug to prevent me from traveling to the event and dancing the night away once I'm there. Boo.
Plan B: stay home with hubby, who is in the middle of his work week and never planned to attend the wedding in the first place.
Looks like we'll just have a quiet evening at home together.
But my strength is mounting, my illness subsiding, and as the day goes on I'm longing for some fun. What's a girl to do?
I'll tell you what. She makes a plan, shops for necessities and returns home to whip up a party for two--though it'll likely end long before the clock strikes midnight in our timezone. We're shooting for midnight in New York. After all, hubby has to work tomorrow morning.
So I dragged myself out of bed, showered and put on some makeup to hide my dark circles and pale complection. Heaven forbid another shopper should guess I'm not feeling my best. Food, flowers, an on-sale plastic table cloth (who wants to launder table linens when they're sick??) and some sparkly doodads later, I pay for my items and set off for home.
Then, I set it all up before the sun gets too low in the sky to take any decent photos. Because what's the point if you don't have decent photos, right?
With a sigh of contentment--or maybe that's exhaustion?--I collapse back onto the couch. And now I'm writing this post. But my rest must end shortly. Hubby will be home soon and I haven't started dinner!
Happy New Years my friends!
Plan A sure would have been fun, but your plan B looked like it was fun too! I love your bright colored flowers as part of your new year eve decor!

It's Groundhog Day at The Old Vic
December 6, 2022 jennypriestleyfilms Leave a comment
The stage musical based on Groundhog Day will return to the West End next summer.
The show is written by Danny Rubin (who wrote the original screenplay) with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and direction by Matthew Warchus.
Andy Karl (Pretty Woman) will return to the leading role of Phil Connors for the London run, with further casting to be revealed.
Groundhog Day originally ran at The Old Vic in 2016 before transferring to Broadway.
This new run will open on 20th May and play until 12th August. Tickets go on sale on 12th December.
Speaking about the show's return to London, Minchin said: "Creating this musical was hugely challenging and enormously fun. Working with the wondrous Danny Rubin and the brilliant Matthew Warchus, alongside Chris Nightingale – music supervisor and orchestrator extraordinaire – we wrestled this iconic existential comedy drama into a completely new work; something that not only found critical acclaim, but also seemed to affect its audiences in a way I've not witnessed. It was dense with laughs, crowded with big ideas, wildly ambitious and profoundly emotional. Seeing it come back to the Old Vic, perhaps my favourite theatre on the planet, is a huge thrill."

Elkridge Woman To Compete On CBS' 'Big Brother'
By Ron Matz June 19, 2019 at 5:01 pm
Filed Under:Baltimore, Baltimore News, big brother, CBS, CBS All Access, Elkridge, Maryland, Maryland News
ELKRIDGE, Md. (WJZ) — The 21st season of "Big Brother" is about to begin on CBS for the summer, and one of the houseguests this year is a Howard County woman, Kemi Faknule.
Originally from Elkridge, Md., she now lives in Brooklyn, New York.
"I'm a marketing strategist, I'm 25 years old. I would say I'm outgoing, I'm friendly, I'm just someone who likes to have fun," Faknule said.
Faknule moved to Brooklyn about six months ago.
"I moved up here with my dog. It's been great, I'm just the typical girl who likes to shop and brunch, making friends, making drinks and making moves is pretty much my life. It's been exciting," Faknule said.
Faknule will be competing against 15 other houseguests for the top prize of $500,000.
"It would mean everything to me. I'm very responsible with my money so chances are I would save a large portion of it. I'm not going to blow it on Chanel handbags. I'm probably going to go back to school, I could finally be comfortable spending the amount of money to go back to school," Faknule said.
Julie Chen will return as host of Big Brother and there will be a two-night premiere Tuesday and Wednesday night on June 25 and June 26 on WJZ.
Both nights start at 8 p.m., so look for Kemi in the house.
"I'm coming into this game as a solo player, so I have no problem breaking alliances. We can be best friends, I will stab you in the back. Someone has to win, and I'd rather it be me," Faknule said.
CBS All Access is also giving subscribers an early look at the new houseguest in live-streamed interviews beginning Monday, June 24 at 11 a.m.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/farskipper/ecmaless.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/farskipper/ecmaless)
[![stability - experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/stability-experimental-orange.svg)](https://nodejs.org/api/documentation.html#documentation_stability_index)

A compile to JS language where less is more, worse is better, and reliability is king.

- functional, but not pure
- statically typed (structural, strong, generic/algebraic, and inferred minus function declarations)
- single-file modules (like CommonJS)
- no inheritance (no `class` and no `prototype`)
- no exceptions (errors are values)
- minimal syntax (but not as minimal as lisp, it's more like lua)
- ships with a code formatter (so we don't waste time arguing about style)
- designed for humans who understand skill comes from experience not from tooling and fancy language features

**PROJECT STATUS:** Abandoned… at least for now. [read more](https://github.com/farskipper/ecmaless#work-in-progress-maybe-not)

## Code samples

```
; only line comments are supported
; comments start with `;`

; types always start with an uppercase first character
; values always start with a lowercase variable

ann str = String  ; annotate a variable's type
def str = "hello" ; define a variable

def n = 1 ; type of n is inferred

; Map/Hash/Dict/Struct
ann foo = {a: Number}
def foo = {a: 1}

; function bodies are expressions
ann add = Fn(Number, Number) Number
def add = fn(a, b) a + b

; `do` blocks allow you to write statements
ann foo = Fn(Number) Number
def foo = fn(a) do
  def b = 2
  def c = 3
  return a + b + c
end

; tagged unions
def Something
  = #one
  | #two
  | #three
  | #four

def bar = #one
def barN =
  case bar
    when #one
      1
    when #two
      2
    when #three
      3
    when #four
      4
  end

; To say that something will maybe return a value
def Maybe<a>
  = #just(a)
  | #nil

; if expression
def a = if 1 == 1 then 1 else 2

; if statement
if 1 == 1 do
  ; ...
elseif 1 == 1 do
  ; ...
else
  ; ...
end

; while loops are pragmatic
while 1 == 1 do
  ; ...
end
```

There are no namespaces. Files are modules, similar to commonjs.

```
import "./file/path" * ; imports all variables exported
import "./some-file" (a as other, B) ; import just parts

def Type = #one | #two

def a = 1

export(a, Type)
```

### JavaScript Interop

In ecmaless:

```
import "./lib.js" (
  ; use `is` to annotate the type of the js object you import
  add is Fn(Number, Number) Number
)
```

### Style

The goal is clarity. Ecmaless will be one of many languages you use. So it shouldn't be too unfamiliar. It should be easy to read, understand, have consistent rules and that's it. Consistent style is important. We can all learn to read a syntax. There are so many languages and coding styles. Learning a new syntax is frustrating at first, but then you get used to it. And eventually people start loving it and defending it.

Ecmaless will ship with a code formatter that is not configurable. Simply following the lead of [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/) and [elm-format](https://github.com/avh4/elm-format) which do all the work to keep code formatted, consistent, and avoids pointless arguments. I also recommend [prettier](https://prettier.io/).

Ecmaless decidedly has very little syntactic sugar. Syntatic sugar creates more things a programmer needs to know and can create confussion.

#### No tab character indentation

This is NOT a matter of taste, unless you enjoy the aroma of ascii x09. I used tabs as indentation before. Then I changed. It's not hard, you can too :)

The programming world is converging on spaces rather than tabs for indentation. Analysis of github repos definitely prove [spaces are used more than tabs](https://medium.com/@hoffa/400-000-github-repositories-1-billion-files-14-terabytes-of-code-spaces-or-tabs-7cfe0b5dd7fd) for indentation. Again [by language](http://sideeffect.kr/popularconvention/) and [again](https://ukupat.github.io/tabs-or-spaces/).

There are lots of reasons why the software world is converging on using spaces for indentation.

- [Atwood reasons why tabs are bad](https://blog.codinghorror.com/death-to-the-space-infidels/)
- [Google says no tabs](https://google.github.io/styleguide/)
- [Python says no tabs](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#tabs-or-spaces)
- [Ruby says no tabs](https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide#spaces-indentation)
- [JSLint](http://www.jslint.com/help.html), [standardJS](https://standardjs.com/), and [TypeScript](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Coding-guidelines#style) all say no to tabs!
- [javaranch says no tabs](https://javaranch.com/styleLong.jsp#indent)
- [Zend says no tabs](https://framework.zend.com/manual/2.4/en/ref/coding.standard.html)
- [elm won't parse tabs](https://github.com/avh4/elm-format)

Yes, the language [go uses tabs](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/) but the important thing is they made a decision and the community simply adopts it. When I write `go` code, I use tabs! Ironically, their docs says use "tabs for indentation and blanks for alignment." For those who value simplicity, this is _the_ case-in-point against tabs.

Tabs are dead! Let's bury this one and move on with our lives!

#### Boolean operators

`!` is too terse; ecmaless uses `not` instead. It's too easy to overlook a `!` and waste time not understanding a piece of logic.

For example:

`if(!isConfirmed){}` looks almost like `if isConfimred`

Whereas `if not isConfirmed` makes it harder to miss the `not`

## Contributing

This project uses [lerna](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lerna) to manage several sub-packages.

- `packages/ecmaless-tokenizer` source code string -> token array
- `packages/ecmaless-parser` token array -> AST
- `packages/ecmaless-compiler` AST -> javascript EST and type information
- `packages/ecmaless` the main cli that ties everything together

Use `npm run setup` instead of `npm install`. This will use lerna to symlink each package together so changes are reflected between them as you develop.

Each package has it's own tests. Run `npm test -- -w` to watch files and run tests as you make changes.

The compiler is partially implemented. Take a look at the `packages/ecmaless-compiler/test.js` to see what is supported so far.

The parser uses the [Top Down Operator Precedence](http://crockford.com/javascript/tdop/tdop.html) technique.

The code formatter will not use the parser, but rather the tokenizer directly. [Here's why](http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/articles/formatting_code.html)

## Work-in-progress ...maybe not

Ecmaless is a distillation of what I view as my ideal programming language. One that is minimal, pragmatic, and reliable. However, as of 2019 I've had a mindset change and decided the benefits of having an ideal programming language is not worth the cost. Elm and TypeScript have been "good enough" for my needs.

When creating software we produce two artifacts:

1. The source code
2. The running application

Your customers only care about #2. They want an application that solves their problem, is intuitive, reliable, fast, secure etc. They don't care or even think about what language you used to get there. However, as programmers we are concerned with both the code and the running application. If code is messy it becomes increasingly costly and difficult to deliver a quality product.

How much should we invest in code quality vs user experience? Spending too much time on code quality causes us to loose focus on customers and results in a poor user experience and slow development time. Too much emphasis on building features may result in code that is messy, hard to maintain, and slows us down.

Balancing these concerns is not unique to programming. Stephen R. Covey calls it the "P/PC balance" Where P is production and PC is production capability. Striking this balance "is the very essence of effectiveness." For more on this, I recommend the his book, [7 habits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People).

My thoughts on how to achieve a good balance are centered around beginning with the user experience and working backwards to technology.

1. Understand the customer needs
2. Design the user experience
3. Design the UI
4. Architect the data model and flow
5. Write enough code to get it working
6. `goto` 1

Steps 1-4 involve no coding, but the decisions made there will save tremendous amounts of time. By the time you get to step 5 there is a fairly clear path to implement it. Bad planning makes bad code inevitable. Things like testing, static types, and consistent syntax help code quality a little bit. However, they are all tiny compared to proper design.

Here are some influences on my thinking:

- [Effective Programs - 10 Years of Clojure - Rich Hickey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V1FtfBDsLU)
- [Jonathan Blow - How to program independent games - CSUA Speech](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDsP5n2kSM)

The following pages take on the latest news alerts and miscellaneous issues and answers to our many concerns as monkey parents...Dealing with the public, dealing with parenting challenges and some of the topics that come up on a daily basis. I often have more questions than answers, but I do have a great support system of highly experienced monkey parents (without whom I would be lost on occasion) and patient vets that help me find the answers. If there is a topic you would like to see addressed here, just Email me and let's take it on.


The Arizona Department of Health Services, under the leadership of Dr. Cara Christ, released the Opioid Action Plan  in September 2017. The comprehensive plan formed the basis of the Arizona Opioid Epidemic Act , which passed unanimously during a special session of the Legislature called by Governor Ducey in January of 2018.
Less than a year removed from the passage of the bipartisan plan, Arizona continues to see progress in efforts to curb addictions, expand access to treatment, and save lives.
And 56% decrease in the number of opioid naive patients given prescriptions longer than 5 days compared to 2016**.
*The average prescription dosage amount in Arizona is 62 MME. At 90 MME or more, the risk of death increases tenfold compared to 20 MME or less.
**The probability of long-term opioid use increases most sharply in the first days of therapy, particularly after five days. More can be found HERE .
There's more to be done, and Arizona will continue to work to combat the opioid epidemic and save more lives.


Anyways, I haven't really followed the 64 bit XP. If I use this, is it going to be a pain finding compatible drivers, or will I have software that might be rendered useless?
Just looking for feedback on 64 bit XP.
I never had a problem with reinstalling my xp and the drivers wont work.
I always ran 64 bit XP and never had a problem finding drivers.
Is there any performance boost ?

performance boost from xp 64 bit? never heard of one. Link?

Q: Find out what program runs in the java.exe process I have a problem: always when my computer starts, there is a java.exe process listening in the port 7676. I want to find out what it is to be able to delete it.
Is there any way that I can find that out?
I have seen another question here which lead me to download the Sysinternal's Process Explorer, but it didn't help me...

A: You should be able to find the process id using netstat. You can use wmic after that.
wmic process where processid=<pid> get commandline

This should give you more details about the Java process in case you're running it on Windows.
Since this is an extremely old thread, could you tell me what was the final solution that you used?

A: You should be able to find the process id using netstat -o.
You can then get information on this process by running jps -v. This works like the Unix ps.
If you want to see more details about the application you can run up JConsole for the Java process and then look for a thread listening on the port.

A: Use Sysinternal's Process Explorer. Like task manager, this application can show you all running processes.
But it can also show you the command line arguments used to launch the process: right click the column headers and select the "command line" column. This extra information will help you identify which java application is running in a given java.exe process.
If that is not yet enough information, Process Explorer can also tell you which files, network connections, registry entries etc. are being used by the process.
update: as mentioned in the comments below, the standard Windows Task Manager can also show the command line. Go to "View" - "Select Columns..." and check "Command Line".

Kromě neobvyklého zpětného pohybu je navíc rotace Venuše na její oběžné dráze synchronizována tak, že v době nejbližšího přiblížení k Zemi (mezi dvěma dolními konjunkcemi uběhne 5,001 Venušina dne) se k ní natáčí vždy stejnou stranou. Tato vlastnost může být zapříčiněna slapovými silami, které ovlivňují Venušinu rotaci, kdykoliv se planety dostanou dost blízko sebe, nebo může jít jen o shodu okolností.

Venuše má na svém povrchu dvě "kontinentální" vrchoviny, které se zvedají z nedozírných plání. Ze severní vrchoviny Ishtar Terra (Ištařina zem) se vypínají Venušiny největší hory Maxwell Montes (zhruba o 2 km vyšší než Mount Everest) nazvané po Jamesi Clerku Maxwellovi, které obklopují pláň Lakshmi Planum. Ishtar Terra je velikostí rovna Austrálii. Na jižní polokouli je ještě větší Aphrodite Terra (Afroditina zem), velikostí rovná Jižní Americe. Mezi těmito dvěma vrchovinami se nachází řada širokých prohlubní jako například Atalanta Planitia, Guinevere Planitia a Lavinia Planitia. Kromě hor Maxwell Montes jsou všechny povrchové útvary na Venuši pojmenovány po skutečných nebo mytologických ženách. Díky Venušině husté atmosféře, zbrzďující meteory během jejich pádu k povrchu, se zde nevyskytují žádné impaktní krátery menší než 3,2 km v průměru.

Zdá se, že téměř 90 % Venušina povrchu tvoří nedávno ztuhlá vrstva čedičové lávy, jen výjimečně narušená meteorickým kráterem. To napovídá, že planeta nedávno podstoupila velké přetvoření povrchu. Vnitřek Venuše je pravděpodobně podobný Zemi: železné jádro o průměru 6000 km s roztaveným kamenným pláštěm tvořícím největší část planety. Poslední výsledky z gravitačního měření sondy Magellan nasvědčují, že Venušina kůra je silnější a tlustší, než se dříve předpokládalo. Existuje teorie, že Venuše neuvolňuje vnitřní energii pohyby tektonických desek jako Země, ale namísto toho v pravidelných intervalech prodělává masívní vulkanickou činnost, která zalévá její povrch čerstvou lávou; nejstarší geomorfologické útvary jsou staré pouze 800 miliónů let, zatímco zbytek povrchu je výrazně mladší (i když většinou ne méně než několik stovek miliónů let). Nyní se předpokládá, že Venuše je stále vulkanicky činná v izolovaných geologicky aktivních bodech.

Venušino vlastní magnetické pole je ve srovnání s ostatními planetami sluneční soustavy velmi slabé. Možnou příčinou je její pomalá rotace, nedostatečná k rozpohybování vnitřního dynama z tekutého železa. Sluneční vítr proto přímo zasahuje Venušinu horní atmosféru. Uvažuje se, že Venuše měla původně stejné množství vody jako Země, ale v důsledku bombardování slunečními částicemi se voda rozložila na vodík a kyslík. Vodík díky své nízké hmotnosti snadno unikl do prostoru, kyslík se sloučil s atomy kůry a zmizel z atmosféry. Poměr vodíku a deuteria (které nemůže unikat tak rychle) ve Venušině atmosféře tuto teorii podporuje. Díky suchu jsou kameny na Venuši těžší a tvrdší než na Zemi, což vede k prudším horám, útesům a dalším nezvyklým rysům.

Dříve se mělo za to, že kolem Venuše krouží měsíc zvaný Neith po mytické bohyni ze Sais (jejíž závoj žádný smrtelník nezvedne), poprvé pozorovaný Giovannim Domenicem Cassinim v roce 1672. Sporadická astronomická pozorování pokračovala až do roku 1892, kdy byla zpochybněna (šlo pouze o slabé hvězdy, které se náhodně vyskytly ve správnou dobu na správném místě) a od té doby je Venuše známá jako planeta bez měsíců.

Prince Harry Was "Embarrassed" to Have William and Kate at His and Meghan's Home
In his memoir, Save, Prince Harry speaks extensively about how differently he and his brother, Prince William, the heir to the throne, have been treated all their lives.
The title of the book is a testament to that, alluding to the way in which Harry has always been seen as a "spare" by his father, King Charles III, and the institution, while William has always been prioritized as the heir. That favoritism has been shown in many ways over the years, per Harry, including in the brothers' respective royal homes.
In Save—a copy of which was obtained by BAZAAR.com ahead of its January 10 release—Harry recalls the time he first visited Prince William and Princess Kate's renovated Kensington Palace residence, Apartment 1A, and instantly felt ashamed of his and wife Duchess Meghan's Nottingham Cottage home.
More From Harper's BAZAAR
Of the Waleses' home, Harry writes, "The wallpaper, the ceiling trim, the walnut bookshelves filled with volumes of peaceful colors, priceless works of art." He says, it was "magnificent" and "like a museum."

Meanwhile, he and Meghan decorated their much-less-lavish cottage with furniture they bought with the former actress's credit card. And in their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the Sussexes admit they did much of the handiwork—like painting—themselves.
"We congratulated them on the renovation without holding back the compliments while feeling embarrassed of our IKEA lamps and the second-hand sofa we'd recently bought on sale with Meg's credit card on sofa.com," Harry writes, recalling their visit to the Wales'.

His earlier education was acquired in the Lockport union school, and he was educated in medicine in Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia, where he came to the degree in 1889. From the year of his graduation from college until 1893 Dr. Bishop was house surgeon to Helmuth House, and since that time has been engaged in active practice in New York city ; and in connection with his professional career he has been closely identified with the teaching force of the New York Homœopathic Medical College and Hospital since 1893. In that year he was appointed lecturer on fractures and dislocations, and served in that capacity until 1899, when he was advanced to the new professorship of fractures and dislocations. Three years later, 1902, he was elected professor of surgery, his present chair. He also has served for several years as surgeon to Flower Hospital and to Hahnemann Hospital. He is a member of several professional associations of general and local character, among the latter being the Jahr Club, the New York Medical Club and the Unanimous Club. In 1894 Dr. Bishop married Kate Pritchard Neilson.

Patients, health organizations rally against health care proposal
Jodi Lemacks spoke Monday at the "Protect Patients Now" event on Capitol Hill alongside, from left, her son Joshua, Sen. Bob Casey and other advocates.
Dozens of patients and advocacy groups including the American Heart Association gathered on Capitol Hill on Monday to demand a stop to a proposed bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
Wearing red T-shirts with the phrase "I Am A Pre-Existing Condition," patients spoke at a "Protect Patients Now" event and urged senators to reject the proposed Graham-Cassidy health bill. The bill would eliminate critical protections for heart and stroke patients and others with pre-existing conditions, and make drastic cuts to Medicaid.
"I want our lawmakers to know that if Graham-Cassidy passes, they will be putting the life of my son in serious jeopardy, along with the lives of the 40,000 babies who are born each year with heart defects," said Jodi Lemacks, whose now-14-year-old son, Joshua, was born with a congenital heart defect.
"To watch your baby have open-heart surgery and struggle to survive can almost shatter you – but it would be even more unbearable if you couldn't afford to give your child the care they needed to live," said Lemacks, who lives in Virginia and has been a volunteer for the American Heart Association for over a decade.
The Graham-Cassidy bill is the latest attempt by Republican lawmakers to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare." The bill – named after two of its sponsors, Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) – would give states broad power to decide how to run their health-insurance markets, including the ability to erase Obamacare's protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pennsylvania) called Graham-Cassidy "a snake in the grass" that is moving quietly but steadily through Washington. Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and John McCain (R-Arizona) are among Republican senators who have publicly opposed the bill, which is expected to be voted on this week in the Senate.
The American Heart Association, which advocated for the passage of Obamacare in 2010, was part of a coalition of 22 patient and public interest groups who organized the press event. Others include the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Lung Association and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
"Our ultimate goal has been and will continue to be to work constructively in a bipartisan manner to build on and improve the current health care law," said Sue Nelson, Vice President of Federal Advocacy for the AHA. She said the Graham-Cassidy health bill "falls far short" of acceptable standards.
"This legislation would reduce the number of people with insurance coverage by around 21 million between 2020 and 2026. That's simply a deal breaker," Nelson said. "And make no mistake – American lives will be lost if this legislation is enacted into law."
Steve Taylor, a patient from Alaska, said the Graham-Cassidy bill could spell the end to the monthly injections he receives to treat his pancreatic cancer. The injections cost $10,000 each, and the proposed legislation could allow insurance plans to refuse coverage, he said.
"We shouldn't have to worry whether we can afford a shot that will keep us alive," Taylor said. "We need practical, bipartisan efforts to fix what's wrong and add people to coverage, not take people away from coverage. Let's not make this into a political game. It's not politics – it's our lives."
Ashley Murosky of Wayne, Pennsylvania, was a sophomore in college when she was diagnosed with a rare, genetic form of lung cancer. Now 24, she said she's been through multiples surgeries and radiation and is now "consumed by the fear of what can happen to me if the Graham-Cassidy bill becomes a law."
"In 2015, when I purchased my own health insurance, I was not penalized or charged more because of my pre-existing condition. With this Graham-Cassidy bill, I could be," Murosky said. "Our health care system isn't perfect, but just taking it all away from people like me who need it would be devastating."
In May, late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel focused the spotlight on health care legislation when he told viewers about his son, Billy, who was born with a congenital heart defect. Since then, he's become an outspoken opponent for legislation that repeals and replaces Obamacare.
"As Jimmy Kimmel pointed out, most Americans aren't as lucky as he is when it comes to being able to afford the best medical care," said Lemacks, the mother who spoke at the press event. "We desperately need the protections provided by the Affordable Care Act. Please don't take them away."

Q: Problem with converting Byte array to String The decryption method fails to convert the received byte array into a string
    public String decryptData(String data, SecretKeySpec key) throws Exception{
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
    cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
    byte[] decodedValue = Base64.decode(data, Base64.DEFAULT);
    byte[] decValue = cipher.doFinal(decodedValue);
    String outputData = new String(decValue, StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
    Log.d("Log byte:", decodedValue.toString());
    Log.d("Log byte:", decValue.toString());
    Log.d("Log str:", outputData);
}

Output logs:
D/Log byte:: [B@4b0fd32
D/Log byte:: [B@32d3a83
D/Log str::

cipher.doFinal() returns an empty array, i think that's why I'm getting an empty String value

A: I am using this method for decryption with AES method.
 private final String characterEncoding = "UTF-8";
private final String cipherTransformation = "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding";
private final String aesEncryptionAlgorithm = "AES";

public String decrypt(String encryptedText, String key) throws KeyException, GeneralSecurityException, GeneralSecurityException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException, IOException {
        byte [] cipheredBytes = Base64.decode(encryptedText, Base64.DEFAULT);
        byte[] keyBytes = getKeyBytes(key);
        return new String (decrypt(cipheredBytes, keyBytes, keyBytes), characterEncoding);
    }


Place the masarepa in a medium-sized bowl. Add the oil, salt and 1½ cups (375 ml/12½ fl oz) water and stir to combine. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead to form a smooth dough, adding a little more water if the dough is too dry.
Divide the dough into twelve even-sized portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball to make a disc, about 1 cm (½ inch) thick all over.
Preheat a barbecue chargrill or hotplate to medium. Brush a little butter over the chargrill plate and cook the arepas, in batches, for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden.
When all of the arepas are cooked, cut them in half crosswise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff with cheese and grill for a further 20 seconds on each side, or until the cheese has melted. Serve hot with the Guasacaca on the side or spread over the cheese.

Workers at El Sol in Jupiter donate to family of worker who was killed
Bill DiPaolo
Apr 28, 2015 at 12:01 AM Apr 28, 2015 at 3:39 PM
Jocelyn Skolnick, executive director of El Sol Neighborhood Resource Center in Jupiter
Workers at the El Sol Neighborhood Resource Center in Jupiter have made a contribution to the family of Onesimo Marcelino Lopez-Ramos, 18, who police say was murdered April 18.
Lopez-Ramos sometimes came to the center seeking work, said Jocylyn Skolnick, the executive director of El Sol, located on the southwest corner of Indiantown Road and Military Trail.
The center links workers with employers for landscaping, painting, construction and other temporary jobs.
The money raised is going toward the expense of shipping the body of Lopez-Ramos back to his home in Guatemala. His parents live in Guatemala, said Skolnick.
�Workers here felt deep grief when they heard the news. (Lopez-Ramos) was very young. His life ended very violently,� said Skolnick.
Jupiter police are pursuing first-degree murder and hate crime charges against three men in the death of Lopez-Ramos. The three men are in Palm Beach County Jail and are being held without bond.

I am poisoned. I think it was triggered by contact with Ivy. It causes a reaction that takes a few days to reach full rage. I have furious itching on my hands, especially on the webbing between fingers. On advice from the NHS, tried an anti-histamine. The cure was worse than the illness. Saturday I spent the day with the feeling you get in the days after a cold- detached, listless and fuzzy headed. Hydro-cortisone seemed to reduce the irritation, but it still took nearly a week.

Q: Display Images from Mysql database in Datalist I save image path and image name in myqsl database. Now I want to display images from database on asp.net data-list. I have query result like this

I want to display picture with pageName. I do some thing like this on datalst.
<asp:DataList ID="dtlistImages" runat="server" RepeatColumns="3" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"
                        BorderColor="#336699" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="2px">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblID" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("pageName") %>' Font-Bold="true"
                            Font-Size="10pt" ForeColor="#336699" Width="100%"/>
                            </br>
                 <asp:Image ID="imgnewspaper" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#  Eval("pageNumber") %>' />
                 </ItemTemplate>
                 <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Top" />
    </asp:DataList>

Code Behind:
  public DataTable getData(string query)
        {
            MySqlConnection conn1 = new MySqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnString"].ConnectionString);
            conn1.Open();
            MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(query, conn1);
            MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(cmd);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            da.Fill(dt);
            return dt;
        }
        protected void btnshow_onclick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string query = "select cap_newspaper_page.pageServer,cap_newspaper_page.pagePath, pageNumber,pageName,newspaper.newspaperName,newspaper_station.newspaperStationName"+
                            " FROM cap_newspaper_page Inner Join cap_newspaper ON cap_newspaper_page.capnewspaperID = cap_newspaper.capnewspaperID inner join newspaper on newspaper.newspaperID=cap_newspaper.newspaperID"+
                            " inner join newspaper_station on newspaper_station.newspaperStationID=cap_newspaper.newspaperStationID where cap_newspaper.newspaperID="+ddlNewspaper.SelectedValue+" and cap_newspaper.newspaperStationID="+ddlNewspaperStation.SelectedValue+" and cap_newspaper_page.publishDate='"+tbDate.Text+" 00:00:00'";
            dtlistImages.DataSource = getData(query);
            dtlistImages.DataBind();
        }

but display is like this

How I can Display images also dynamically. based on query.

A: what does the source code for the compiled html look like?  clearly the image paths must be invalid.  if you check what the asp has written does this not give a strong clue as to what is wrong?

A: You only have pageNumber and not pagePath in your Eval

A: <asp:Image ID="imgnewspaper" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#  Eval("pagePath") %>' />

or
you are missing the images in your project folder printImages locally, if your are running it locally, and if you are running it on live server then also check that folder for images.
Suggestion I have achieved the same thing in the following way:
    <asp:ListView ID="ImagesList" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID" GroupItemCount="4"  OnPagePropertiesChanging="ImagesList_PagePropertiesChanging">
        <EmptyDataTemplate>
            No Images found.

Russia suggests Sweden has 'something to hide' in Nord Stream blast probe

(Reuters) -Russia questioned on Thursday whether Sweden had "something to hide" over explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines last year, as it slammed Stockholm for not sharing information in the ongoing investigations into the blasts.
Swedish and Danish authorities are investigating four holes in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines which link Russia and Germany via the Baltic Sea and have become a flashpoint in the Ukraine crisis.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Sweden's refusal to engage with Russian prosecutors was "confusing" and said Moscow had a right to know the details of the probe into the explosions, which occurred last September.
Moscow proposed to Stockholm the establishment of a joint investigation into the blasts, which could see three of the four lines of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas projects put permanently out of use. But both Sweden and Denmark have rejected the idea of Russian participation.
At a briefing in Moscow on Thursday, Zakharova suggested there were reasons for that decision.
"Maybe Russian investigators, conducting an objective investigation, could come to an inconvenient conclusion… about who conducted this act of sabotage, terrorism. About who thought it up, and who carried it out," she told reporters.
Zakharova said Sweden was "concealing" facts about what it had discovered in the investigation, suggesting that "the Swedish authorities have something to hide".
Sweden and other European investigators say the attacks were carried out on purpose, but they have not said who they think was responsible. Moscow, without providing evidence, has blamed the explosions on Western sabotage.
Construction of Nord Stream 2, designed to carry Russian gas to Germany, was completed in September 2021, but was never put into operation after Berlin shelved certification just days before Moscow sent its troops into Ukraine in February.

El Día de la Estrella Luz  es un día festivo en Corea del Norte el 16 de febrero que celebra el natalicio del segundo líder del país, Kim Jong-il. Junto con el Día del Sol, el natalicio de su padre Kim Il-sung, es la más importante fiesta nacional en el país.

Kim Jong-il nació en 1941 en la Unión Soviética, la propaganda norcoreana insiste que nació el 16 de febrero de 1942 en el monte Paektu en Corea. Su cumpleaños se convirtió en día festivo en 1982 cuando ingresó en el Politburó del Partido del Trabajo de Corea (PTC). En 2012, al año siguiente de su muerte, el día festivo fue renombrado Día de la Estrella Luz.

La principal celebración tiene lugar en la capital Pionyang e incluye exhibiciones de gimnasia, actuaciones musicales, fuegos artificiales, desfiles militares y bailes; la gente recibe más raciones de comida y electricidad que lo usual en este día.

Contexto

Kim Jong-il nació en 1941, hijo de Kim Il-sung y Kim Jong-suk en Siberia, URSS, donde su padre estaba exiliado a causa de sus actividades guerrilleras. Aunque la propaganda norcoreana insista en que nació en 1942, en el monte Paektu, en Corea, el mítico lugar de origen del pueblo coreano, donde Kim Il-sung supuestamente tenía un campamento guerrillero. En realidad la guerrilla tenía su base en Manchuria en esa época y Kim estaba en el Extremo Oriente soviético antes y después del nacimiento de Kim Jong-il.

En la propaganda norcoreana Kim Jong-il está asociado con la imagen de la estrella. Él es frecuentemente llamado la estrella brillante aunque también se le llama la estrella luz (). Según la leyenda, una estrella brillante apareció en el cielo la noche que él nació, y los guerrilleros tallaron mensajes en los troncos de los árboles proclamando: "Tres héroes brillan en Corea con el espíritu del monte Paektu: Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-suk y  Kwangmyŏngsŏng (la Estrella Luz)" y "¡Oh, Corea! ¡La estrella del Paektu ha nacido!".

Historia
El natalicio de Kim Jong-il fue celebrado desde 1976, pero se convirtió en día festivo en 1982, dos días después de convertirse en miembro del Politburó del PTC.
Cuando él subió al poder en 1994, debido a la muerte de su padre, la celebración era conocida como la "Primavera de la humanidad" en el calendario norcoreano. El aniversario obtuvo su nombre actual en 2012, al año siguiente de su muerte, cuando el Politburó anunció que: El 16 de febrero, el mayor día festivo de la nación debido a que el gran líder camarada Kim Jong-il nació en dicha fecha, se instituye como el Día de la Estrella Luz. Las estatuas ecuestres de Kim Jong-il y Kim Il-sung fueron inauguradas en Pionyang para celebrar el día.

El 12 de febrero de 2013 Corea del Norte hizo una prueba nuclear pocos días antes de la celebración del Día de la Estrella Luz.

Celebración

El día es celebrado el 16 de febrero de cada año. En la capital Pionyang se celebra con exhibiciones de gimnasia, conciertos, fuegos artificiales, desfiles militares, y bailes. Las calles son adornadas con banderas norcoreanas. Millones de personas visitan el Palacio del Sol de Kumsusan donde yacen los cuerpos embalsamados de Kim Il-sung y Kim Jong-il. Tienen lugar exhibiciones de la orquídea Kimjongilia, llamada así en honor de Kim Jong-il. En otras ciudades, las celebraciones no son tan fastuosas. El gobierno reparte más raciones de comida y energía al pueblo en este día de lo que normalmente entrega. A los niños se les da caramelos, y es una de las pocas ocasiones en que la Unión de Niños de Corea admite nuevos miembros. El documental de Vitali Manski Bajo el sol (2015) muestra la celebración de este día.

Las oficinas estatales, negocios y bancos permanecen cerrados este día. Las bodas también son comunes en esta fecha.

El periodo entre el Día de la Estrella Luz y el Día del es conocido como el Periodo del Festival de la Lealtad. En el calendario el Día de la Estrella Luz tiene lugar después del Día del Generalísimo (el 14 de febrero es la fecha en que Kim Jong-il ascendió a dicho rango) y antes del Día Internacional de la Mujer (8 de marzo). El Día de la Estrella Luz es uno de los tres días que conmemoran a Kim Jong-il en el calendario, los otros dos son el Día del Generalísimo y el Día del Songun (25 de agosto, que conmemora la política Songun, o primero el ejército).

Michiana business owner weighs in on change to minimum smoking age

NOW: Michiana business owner weighs in on change to minimum smoking age
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The legal age to purchase tobacco products was recently raised from 18 to 21. Now the owner of a local smoke shop is commenting on how it affects their business.
President Donald Trump signed a spending bill in December that changed the law, which applies to all tobacco products including vaping supplies and e-cigarettes.
The minimum smoking age was raised after a number of teenagers nationwide suffered from vaping-related illnesses.
ABC57 spoke to the owner of the Council Oaks Discount Tobacco, Mohammad Amouri, and he says that new law will not make much of a difference.
"I really don't think raising it to 21 is going to give the effect that the federal government thinks," Amouri said. "Really this whole epidemic came about because people were mixing whatever they wanted in their own vapes."
Amouri went on to say that raising the minimum smoking age will not significantly impact his business.
"We have signs that we're posting saying that you have to be 21 to enter," Amouri said. "You have to be 21 to make any purchase inside the store. [We're] retraining the cashiers to get out of the age-of-18 mentality and look for 21."
Amouri says that he cards anyone who looks 30 years old or younger and that the new law will not change the way he runs his business.
