Siege of Centauri
Written by Josh Butler on 4/16/2019 for PC
More On: Siege of Centauri
Stardock, the famed developer of both Galactic Civilizations III and Star Control: Origins, are hoping to make a splash in the tower defense genre with their new game, Siege of Centauri. Given the size and scope of their last few games, it is interesting to see the company enter a highly competitive portion of the industry, which has recently become more popular on mobile devices, with a $10 Steam game. We should not discount Stardock's video games too soon, however, as The Political Machine 2016 may just be one of the best video games, since, well, The Political Machine 2012.
Before we jump to a look at the game and a psychoanalysis of the goings-on in the minds of the developers, it's important to note that this article on Siege of Centauri is a preview of the early access version. Early access opens up to everyone on April 16. The full launch of the game is not expected until the end of summer 2019, so portions of the game are sure to change by the time the game is finalized.
Upon entering the game, you only have one possible option and that is to play the story mode. Though a survival mode appears to be coming in the future, it was unavailable at the time of writing. In story mode, the first colony of Earth, Proxima Centauri, is under attack by aliens and robots. As with any tower defense game, you are tasked with defending your main base and the occasional secondary base from the aliens. Despite the background story playing a large part in how the game looks and feels, the actual story you encounter in story mode is quite lacking. The player only gets a few lines of background information on what is happening before each level starts and the story does not develop much. In fact, in quite a few levels there is no story at all.
While the game is still just a preview, it does seem to suffer from severe balancing problems which will hopefully be addressed before the full launch. While I have not picked up a tower defense game in a while, my last one being iBomber Defense which was released in 2011, I do not think of myself as a terrible tower defense game player. I certainly had to question my skill level in this game though. On each level, while playing on normal difficulty, it was consistently taking me four to five attempts or more to get a through a single level. After getting annoyed by the number of times it was taking to get through each level, I decided to reduce the difficulty to the easiest mode available, which is supposed to decrease the hit points of the attacking robots by 30 percent. Even after moving to easy mode, it was still taking an excessive number of attempts to get through each level. The game definitely needs some retooling to make the attacking robots easier to handle. My record was twelve attempts to get through the fourth level.
It appears that some of the problems with completing levels come from the unlock time of certain defense towers. In each level, after scoring a certain number of points, you unlock new defense towers. Being able to unlock these defense towers is vital. Despite their necessity, by the time you unlock the tower, your base is often already overrun by bots and aliens and the situation is beyond salvageable.
Another problem interfering with gameplay is the existence of the secondary bases, such as metal refineries and fusion reactors. These secondary bases help generate metals and "radioactives" (an in-game currency) more quickly for tower purchases and additional defenses. Secondary bases are often the first to be attacked, but the game does not in any way display the health level of these bases or how much damage they are taking. So, often times, its difficult to know how to respond or whether it is even worth trying to save the base. Additionally, the health for your main base is hidden among a bunch of other statistics and is also difficult to find.
The game also falls short on the graphics side. It can be difficult to discern what's happening on the screen, especially when hundreds of tiny robots flood the screen at once. When there are many laser-based defense towers firing upon a single robot, it's impossible to tell what is going on at all. This problem is much more prevalent in the levels featuring dark maps. I will praise the brighter maps, including the desert and greenland maps, for being both beautiful and easy to see.
Despite the game's early shortcomings, it does have a few interesting improvements over other tower defense games. In most tower defense games, you often encounter a top-down 2D perspective where towers shoot enemies. One of the more interesting challenges that you will encounter is the terrain in each map. Siege of Centauri introduces a physics system that you must contend with as your turrets are not able to shoot through mountains or the ground. It would seem obvious that you cannot shoot a gun through a mountain, but it's something I haven't seen in other tower defense-based games. Additionally, as a player, you have the opportunity to get more hands-on in the game with orbitals. Other than purchasing and placing turrets using metals, you can also use the secondary currency, radioactives, to purchase orbitals. Orbitals allow you to drop small robots into the game to fight enemies, which you can then move around the map or direct to specific enemies. This introduces a small real-time strategy feature into the game without moving too far away from the tower defense idea.
All in all, in Siege of Centauri's current state, this entry into the tower defense genre is not revolutionary or ready for prime time. Hopefully, Stardock will capitalize on this period of early access to address its more obvious issues. While it tries to introduce a unique RTS feature and a new physics system, these two features alone do not set Siege of Centauri away from the pack. It's a fun game to kill time, but I would question whether this should be your top choice for a quick and fun tower defense game.
I'm a political science and computer science student with a love of video games, software, web development, and politics. I aspire to be a jack of all trades...and a master of some. I have a deep love for simulation and strategy games. My two favorites are Victoria II and Two Point Hospital for the time being, though there are dozens more that I could love just as much.

Thought Leaders: Robin Purohit Leads HP's Software Products Division - Using Software As A Strategy
Robin Purohit runs the Software Products division of Hewlett-Packard's $3 billion software business, the most profitable group within the company, and its most strategic. As 2009 IT budgets continue to be slashed, the software group is becoming the point of the spear for the entire company, potentially driving hardware and services sales as corporate data centers seek to do more with less.
"This year is going to be challenging for everyone, it will very likely be the toughest year in ten years," for enterprise IT vendors, says Mr Purohit. "But we are ready, we've been preparing for this."
If HP's software business were a separate business it would be the 6th largest software company in the US. In just three years, HP has tripled the size of its enterprise software sales thanks to a series of canny acquisitions.
Opsware, Peregrine Systems, and Mercury Interactive, the largest acquisitions, were joined with several smaller software businesses. The goal has been to bolster HP's strong position in data center management and optimization provided by its OpenView suite.
This market is called Business Technology Optimization (BTO), and this type of software is designed to help CIOs gain a deep insight into how they are deploying their IT investments, identify which parts of their IT are strategic, and which parts can be cut. BTO also includes greater data center automation to try to reduce one of the largest expenses in IT: the large numbers of specialists needed to keep enterprise IT systems humming.
. . .CIOs are unhappy
"Everywhere I go, CIOs are complaining that they are unhappy with their IT spend, that it's costing them too much, and that they need to get more out of their IT systems. They complain that 60 to 70 percent of their budget is being spent on on all the things they need to do just to keep the lights on," says Mr Purohit.
HP's message is that its BTO software can map and optimize an enterprise's IT resources, automate many data center operations, and manage new IT initiatives.
A relatively small software investment can quickly produce several tens of millions of dollars in efficiency savings, depending on the size of the company, says Mr Purohit. It also frees up people and resources, that can then be deployed on new IT initiatives rather than the mundane daily tasks of "keeping the lights on."
Software As A Service (SAAS) is a key part of HP's software strategy and part of simplifying customer IT systems. "About two-thirds of our products are delivered as SAAS. Customers will still buy licenses but they want us to host and run the software."
. . . Change comes from the top
But BTO can only do so much. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. Some companies are not able to implement the changes that BTO identifies because they aren't yet able to make the changes needed in their organizational structure.
"It all depends on the leadership within each organization. Our software can reveal the inefficiencies in IT infrastructure but the changes have to be driven from the top. For organizations that aren't ready, we will focus on one key problem and use that as an example of what we can do for the rest of the enterprise."
Services is a big component of implementing BTO, and HP's acquisition of EDS provides it with a strong IT services business. BTO customers frequently become HP hardware customers, says Mr Purohit.
. . . A tsunami of regulations
HP's software catalog includes business intelligence software, a key growth area as companies seek to understand an ever growing mass of transactional data generated by the daily commerce of their business groups. Much of this data is also required to fulfill new regulatory reporting rules. "There is a tsunami of regulations rules that businesses will have to deal with, it goes way beyond SOX."
In addition, large corporations have to deal with a relentless number of lawsuits that require them to comply with discovery requests of specific business data. If it fails to find that information within a short-time frame, it can face punitive fines. "A company the size of HP averages about one legal investigation per week. It can cost abut $100 million a year to comply with those investigations. Our software can reduce that to $5 million to $10 million a year."
In today's tough IT climate, HP is expecting a lot from its software business, to help it maintain profits and help drive its hardware and services groups. Fortunately, tough times are motivating enterprises to seek out the efficiencies and cost savings promised by HP's software.
"Our software business is the largest strategic weapon we have," says Mr Purohit.

We lived in Mitchell, Nebraska where we pastored a small church, which at times could not afford to pay us. I worked as a cashier at a grocery store in a neighboring town for minimum wage, probably around $4.75 an hour then. We had three children that desperately wanted new bikes for Christmas. How would we ever be able to do this?
Each week I would go and pay toward those bikes, the little I could afford. I'm sure the clerk thought I was really dumb to work so hard to pay so little each week and there would be no way they would be ready to leave lay-a-way by Christmas.
The special day drew closer; the kids were so excited about Christmas almost being there. We had an archway that lead from the bedrooms into the living-room and a small archway that a phone sat on to be reached from either room (prior to cell phones).
Mike and I took great efforts in sealing up those doorways with huge pieces of plastic and we taped a note to the middle that said, "Do not enter, come and wake Mom and Dad up." Well, much too early little bodies plowed into bed with us to tell us it was Christmas morning. No stalling this crew – we got up and headed up the steps. They tore the covering down and the happy sounds that came from their first view of what sat in a row in our living room still warms my heart to this day.
I'm sure as parent's you have all been there, experienced the desire and joy when you were able to touch your child's (children's) heart in a special way. Well, today as I sit and remember this time, with yes (silly me) tears rolling down my cheeks, I am reminded of another sacrifice that was made for just me.
His own Father could not look on Him and turned His back for a moment. He hung there all alone on that cruel, hard and cold tree. He was humiliated, beaten, stabbed, spit on and bloody all for me.
This makes my simple sacrifice's in life seem so small. Don't get me wrong, we need to be willing to make sacrifices for family and friends and most importantly Jesus. But, we need to take some time each and every day to let the magnitude of what Jesus did for us sink in, be moved to tears of appreciation for His great sacrifice. Not just at Easter, but each day, be moved by the great love Jesus demonstrated for us and continues to, to this day.
Lord, thank You for Your sacrifice. You gave all so that I could have all and have it to the fullest. May we each remember each day that sacrifice that You made for us as individuals and as Your children. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

We consider a viscous fluid, conduct heat, flow between two parallels plaques, distant of a length d and at different temperatures (see figure). , we try to determine the thermo-dynamic coupling : knowing the heat flux exchanged we can determine the dynamic flow regime.
With this hypothesis the solution of N&S equations can be the following one : if the fluid is immobile initially it keep this situation, and if it was in motion it stand on moving. In both cases there is stratification of the temperature from T1 to T2 (there a constant temperature gradient). This is a state of equilibrium. The problem is that we don't know if it's stable or not.
We will study the stability by introducing a small perturbation to the equilibrium state, and we will check if it will be amplified or not.
Here k is the number of rolls introduced by the perturbation. pi*k/L is the wave number. A graph drawn in the ( k , Ra) plan , represents the frontier between the stable zone and the unstable one. It enable us to know the modes gam witch are susceptible to be amplified at a determined value of Ra.
A mathematical approach of the stability problem is handled in the hydrodynamics instabilities theory. A theoretical values of RaC and kC are computed.

HZDR Research Magazin discovered
Initiatives & Cooperation
Antibodies from the Desert as Guides to Diseased Cells
Press Release of June 12, 2014
With help of proteins, nanoparticles can be produced, which bind specifically to cancer cells, thus making it possible to detect tumours.

The use of nanoparticles in cancer research is considered as a promising approach in detecting and fighting tumour cells. The method has, however, often failed because the human immune system recognizes the particles as foreign objects and rejects them before they can fulfil their function. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and at University College Dublin in Ireland have, along with other partners, developed nanoparticles that not only bypass the body's defence system, but also find their way to the diseased cells. This procedure uses fragments from a particular type of antibody that only occurs in camels and llamas. The small particles were even successful under conditions which are very similar to the situation within potential patients' bodies.
Describing the current state of research, Dr. Kristof Zarschler of the Helmholtz Virtual Institute NanoTracking at the HZDR explains, "At the moment we must overcome three challenges. First, we need to produce the smallest possible nanoparticles. We then need to modify their surface in a way that the proteins in the human bodies do not envelop them, which would thus render them ineffective. In order to ensure, that the particles do their job, we must also somehow program them to find the diseased cells." Therefore, the Dresden and Dublin researchers combined expertise to develop nanoparticles made of silicon dioxide with fragments of camel antibodies.
In contrast to conventional antibodies, which consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, those taken from camels and llamas are less complex and are made up of only two heavy chains. "Due to this simplified structure, they are easier to produce than normal antibodies," explains Zarschler. "We also only need one particular fragment – the portion of the molecule that binds to certain cancer cells – which makes the production of much smaller nanoparticles possible." By modifying the surface of the nanoparticle, it also gets more difficult for the immune system to recognize the foreign material, which allows the nanoparticles to actually reach their target.
The ultra-small particles should then detect the so-called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the human body. In various types of tumours, this molecule is overexpressed and/or exists in a mutated form, which allows the cells to grow and multiply uncontrollably. The Dresden researchers could demonstrate in experiments that nanoparticles that have been combined with the camel antibody fragments can more firmly bind to the cancer cells. "The EGFR is a virtual lock to which our antibody fits like a key," explains Zarschler.
They even obtained the same results in experiments involving human blood serum – a biologically relevant environment the scientists point out: "This means that we carried out the tests under conditions that are very similar to the reality of the human body," explains Dr. Holger Stephan, who leads the project. "The problem with many current studies is that artificial conditions are chosen where no disruptive factors exist. While this provides good results, it is ultimately useless because the nanoparticles fail finally in experiments conducted under more complex conditions. In our case, we could at least reduce this error source."
However, more time is required before the nanoparticles can be utilized in diagnosing human tumours. "The successful tests have brought us one step further," explains Stephan. "The road, however, to its clinical use is long." The next aim is to reduce the size of the nanoparticles, which are now approximately fifty nanometres in diameter, to less than ten nanometres. "That would be optimal," according to Zarschler. "Then they would only remain in the human body for a short period – just long enough to detect the tumour."

Kaloyeros Receives 3-1/2 Years in Prison
By Nick Reisman New York City
PUBLISHED 3:31 PM ET Dec. 11, 2018 PUBLISHED December 11, 2018 @3:31 PM
Alain Kaloyeros, the former president of SUNY Polytechnic who made the Capital Region a landmark for high tech job creation and was found guilty of rigging economic development bids, was sentenced on Tuesday to 3-1/2 years in prison.
Kaloyeros is the latest person to be sentenced in a sweeping bribery and fraud case stemming from the Buffalo Billion, an economic development program created by Gov. Andrew Cuomo as a means of reviving the moribund Western New York economy.
In addition to Kaloyeros, prominent developers Joseph Gerardi, Joseph Aiello and Louis Ciminelli were also found guilty in the bid rigging case and were sentenced earlier this month between 28 months and three years in prison.
In a separate by related case, Joe Percoco, a former close aide to the governor, received six years in prison, while lobbyist John Galbraith Kelly received 14 months in prison.
Cuomo himself has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
His sentencing comes after a host of prominent figures in New York state politics, academia and business defended Kaloyeros and urged leniency.
With his vanity license plate "Dr. Nano," Kaloyeros had always cut an eccentric figure in the Albany area, becoming a one-man focal point for the development of a massive nanotechnology school adjacent to the University at Albany campus. At one point, he was the highest paid state employee, a status state officials argued was worth the money given his ability to attract business to the state.
Kaloyeros would host President Barack Obama there and received bipartisan praise from governors and state lawmakers who wanted to share credit for the success.
The Capital Region became a hub for high-tech jobs due in large part to an infusion of state cash and tax breaks, giving rise to the GlobalFoundries complex in Malta.
When Cuomo took office, he sought Kaloyeros to replicate the success in other upstate cities, including Buffalo.
In a radio interview with WAMC on Tuesday, Cuomo noted Kaloyeros was picked in part because of his long track record in the Albany area.
"Dr. Kaloyeros served five governors here in the Capital District, he must have worked for 20 years," he said. "I'm a former DA, I'm a former attorney general, ADA and I believe in the justice system, and let the justice system operate. And I believe in the outcome."
After the arrest of the developers, Percoco and Kaloyeros, lawmakers called for changes to the oversight of economic development contracts and reforms to the procurement process.
The Cuomo administration instituted its own internal oversight controls after the review of an outside consultant.

Q: MySQL C# validation error public void Find(string userName, string password)
    {
        string query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE username =\'" + userName + "\', \'" + GetMd5Sum(password) + "\'";
        MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(query, connection);

        try
        {

            //This will return 1 if the username and password exist.
            //It will return 0 if the username and password are not found.
            int count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();

            if (count > 0)
                MessageBox.Show("You have succesfully logged in!");
            else
                MessageBox.Show("Incorrect username or password.");

            connection.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString());
        }
    }

I think that is where the problem is. Could anyone explain or help me out with this error?
The error is:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 'C8059E2Ec7419F590E79D7F1B774BFE6' ' at line 1

A: Your SQL looks like this (where $user and $passwordhash are the values, of course):
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE username = '$user', '$passwordhash'

What do you expect that second value to do? I suspect you want something like:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE username = '$user' AND passhash = '$passwordhash'

(Change passhash based on your actual column name.)
However, you should not just add that text into your query. Instead, change your code to use parameterized SQL to avoid SQL injection attacks. Always use parameters instead of including values directly into your SQL:

*

*It avoids SQL injection attacks

*It avoids unnecessary and error-prone string conversions (particularly for date/time values)

*It keeps your code (SQL) separate from your data, making the queries easier to read

A: You need an AND between the values in the where clause
string query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user " +
               "WHERE username ='" + userName + "' AND " +
               "PASSWORD ='" + GetMd5Sum(password) + "'";

And you did not name your password column.

A: Your Query would look like:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE username ='user', 'pass'

Whereas it should have been:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE username ='user' AND password='pass'

A little research and retrospection would have helped.

WHAT CAN I DO TO REDUCE MY FLOATERS OF PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING WORSE?
Home / Uncategorized / WHAT CAN I DO TO REDUCE MY FLOATERS OF PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING WORSE?
I am often asked the question: 'What can I do to reduce my floaters?' I received another one of these in my email inbox today and thought it was time to submit a post to further elaborate and answer this question.
First, you should probably be aware that the topic of vitreous degenerative disorders, more specifically vitreous eye floaters is not a topic that seems to be very interesting to my professional colleagues. There has been very little research on the subject, there has been very little discussion of the topic, and the subject of eye floaters does not make it into our journals and books with very few exceptions. During our specialty medical education, it appears that most doctors are taught that when somebody comes to the clinic with the complaint of new onset 'moving shadows in their vision", it is the standard of care and obligation of the doctor to rule out any more serious pathologies of the eye such as retinal holes, tears, and detachments or vitreous hemorrhage, or diabetes, etc. Once the eyecare provider has determined that none of these conditions or other more rare pathologies exist, they appear to lose interest very quickly.
In addition it should be noted that the vitreous fluid exists in an isolated and privileged part of the body. There are no blood vessels or nerve endings in the vitreous. There are no living cells that are metabolically active or cells that would be responsive to changes in nutrition or supplements or micronutrients for that matter. The 99% water and 1% proteins that make up the vitreous fluid are in an inert part of the body.
Whenever a subspecialty range of medicine does not do something well, and historically we ophthalmologists have not treated eye floaters with any priority, it creates avoid and an opportunity for charlatans (even well-meaning ones) to step in to make money off your anxiety and grief. I have seen and read through many of the pseudoscientific claims which may sound reasonable to someone who is quite desperate to get some relief from their eye floaters. Putative claims of increasing blood flow to the eye or the common traditional Chinese medicine obsession with detoxing the liver should have no effect on the eye floaters of the eye. The proteins that aggregate in the vitreous (the floaters) have always been in your eye, they are normal and natural components of your body, and arguably they are not affecting the eye itself. It is the visual cortex of the brain and your subjective interpretation of what the world 'should look like' that is so disturbed.
1. Do nothing. This is a zero risk proposition assuming that your eye floaters are benign and not involving any eye health issues or retina problems.
2. Laser vitreolysis. This is the procedure that is the focus of my practice and professional career.
3. The surgical vitrectomy. This is the gold standard procedure most likely to remove the floaters, but it is more invasive with greater vision-threatening risks. In addition, the retina specialist who have the skills to perform this procedure, are generally not too interested in offering it to treat 'just floaters' because of the known risks.
Doing nothing is the zero risk proposition, but it is unlikely to improve the condition, of course. The laser treatment is usually not for younger patients due to the locations of the floaters, and the surgical vitrectomy would also not be offered for the microscopic floaters typical of younger patients due to the risks.
In the absence of good science to support it, I cannot recommend changing or avoiding activities, any specific supplements or dietary changes, etc. If there was a supplement or something that actually worked, I would be selling it through my website.
In short, I can not, and do not recommend anything to avoid, or to implement to improve your eye floater condition or to prevent it from getting worse as there is not good science to support these interventions.

Nigel soars through the sky at 15,000ft to raise funds for Children's Hospice South West
Devonshire Homes' very own Nigel Bowditch took to new heights as he conquered a skydive to raise money for our partner charity, Children's Hospice South West.
Jumping from a plane that was flying at 15,000ft, Nigel raised an incredible £1,885 for Children's Hospice South West. Caring for over 500 families across the South West of England, the charity provides hospice care for children with life-limiting conditions and their whole family.
Nigel, Procurement and Specifications Manager at Devonshire Homes, commented: "This was my second skydive but it didn't make me feel any less nervous! It was a fantastic experience though and the views from 15,000ft were just incredible. I was keen to fundraise for Children's Hospice South West as it's such a wonderful charity that relies on public donations. I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who donated. You've helped us smash our target and the money will go on to help over 500 families in the South West."
This is the latest in a series of fundraising activities Devonshire Homes has undertaken this year for Children's Hospice South West.

Q: Java: proving that DCL is not working I wonder whether it's possible reliably to prove that double checked locking is broken:
public static Singleton getInstanceDC() {
  if (_instance == null) {                // Single Checked
    synchronized (Singleton.class) {
      if (_instance == null) {        // Double checked
        _instance = new Singleton();
      }
    }
 }
 return _instance;
}

Is there any reliable way to create a test or program which shows that it doesn't work? Is there any formal verification proof?

A: Have you seen this DoubleCheckTest class?
This is a test case showing that it doesn't work.
I found this example via this page. The author of this test is Paul Jakubik.

A: I've found what I was looking for:
there is java tool called jcstress, it's used to verify correctness of JVM.
More precisely sourcecode of DCL test case could be found here:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/code-tools/jcstress/file/9270b927e00f/tests-custom/src/main/java/org/openjdk/jcstress/tests/singletons/UnsafeDCL.java#l71
I would say this is proof-by-the-spec :)

Details: US, UK, EU and allies accuse China of carrying out malicious cyber activity
In response to alleged Chinese ransomware attacks and intellectual property theft, the Biden administration is reportedly beefing up its cybersecurity policy. "Today, the United States and our allies and partners are exposing further details of the PRC's [People's Republic of China] pattern of malicious cyber activity and taking further action to counter it, as it poses a major threat to U.S. and allies' economic and national security," the White House stated in a press release on Monday. The allies include the European Union, the United Kingdom, NATO, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan. Why this matters? For the first time, such a powerful coalition of countries has accused China of carrying out malicious cyber activities and has urged Chinese authorities to address the situation. The EU stated that these cyber activities affected its "economy, security, democracy and society at large," the US called China's behavior" inconsistent with its stated objective of being seen as a responsible leader in the world", the UK said that it holds the Chinese state responsible "for pervasive pattern of hacking," and NATO reiterated its "willingness to maintain a constructive dialogue with China" on this issue. "My understanding is that the Chinese government, not unlike the Russian government, is not doing this themselves, but are protecting those who are doing it. And maybe even accommodating them being able to do it." - U.S. President Joe Biden, according to Reuters "The U.S. has repeatedly made groundless attacks and malicious smear against China on cybersecurity. This is just another old trick, with…

This post is aimed at newer collectors who are starting out in the hobby. As we all know, patch cards are hugely popular because of their scarcity and general eye appeal. Oversized, multi-colored logo patches fetch huge premiums on eBay.
Unfortunately this has led to a large number of Fake Patches. Unscrupulous patch fakers will insert nicer looking patches into cards in order to jack up the prices. This is especially common with cards with large patch windows, such as the Absolute Memorabilia Jumbo Patches.
It ended up selling for $100.03!!! Now I'm not too familiar with Terry O'Reilly, but I'm pretty sure his other letter patches aren't selling for that much. Must be lots of Irishmen wanting to spell out their last names that drove up the price.
This came in over the weekend. Really nice Patch 1/1 from 2007 National Treasures Football and a great addition for my Brian Leonard Collection. I went to Rutgers at the same time as him, so I'm always on the lookout for any of his cool looking cards.
Dwight Howard won the Slam Dunk contest over the weekend, bringing some much needed freshness to the contest which has been weak over the last few years. This kid is a MONSTER.
Of course with the added attention, Dwight Howard cards have seen a bump in price over the weekend. Its no secret that Howard is one of the most talented young players in the NBA, and at the young age of 22, I think his best years are still ahead of him.
From time to time I'm going to post some of the cards from my personal collection so you guys can see what I'm into. I'm a big Yankees fan, so we'll start it off with my favorite player, Alex Rodriguez, Mr. April himself.
1994 SP - His best "true" rookie card and condition sensitive. 1,027 graded BGS 9 out of 9,971 submissions.
I have another raw version of this card and it actually looks like its in better condition than the BGS 9. When I get enough cards together I'm going to send it in to be graded.

The Last Siri Co-founder Has Left Apple
His name is Tom Gruber and along with Dag Kittlaus and Adam Cheyer, and back in 2010 he helped create one of Apple's most easily recognized innovations in Siri for the small price of $200 million.
However, today marks Gruber last day as head of Siri's Advanced Development group, aligning with Apple's poaching of John Giannandrea - Google's former head of search and artificial intelligence - a few months ago. Apple has reported that Gruber will "pursue personal interests" including photography and ocean conservation.
When Siri first launched, it was nothing short of space-age wizardry. As if the iPhone 4S wasn't impressive enough, now consumers were getting their first taste of voice control. Nobody had anything like it and its functionality was beyond impressive. Fast forward eight years later and the story hasn't really changed. And what I mean is less of Apple is light years ahead of the curve and more of Siri literally hasn't changed. It's still getting you the weather, it's still sending text messages, and it's still searching the web.
Since then, Siris has had a massive dropoff letting Amazon and Google dominate the space. As if that isn't bad enough, Kittlaus and Cheyer had left Apple a few years ago to create Viv Labs and help direct Samsung to their supremely underwhelming Bixby.
Internally, Siri has seen a considerable amount of leadership turnover in recent years with a long list of notable talent leaving for different projects.
The recent hire in Giannandrea was because Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, had lost his responsibilities as Head of A.I. in 2017. Prior to that, Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet software and services, oversaw Siri. Also of note, Bill Staisor, a former Amazon executive and an expert in search, was allegedly a point of "friction" and a massive roadblock in terms of direction and innovation for Siri.
Along with Gruber, Apple's head of search, Vipul Ved Prakash, has also left the company, according to The Information. Prakash joined Apple when his company, Topsy, was acquired in 2013. His search team was also within the Siri group.
So is Siri in a bad place? I'm not sure how to answer that.

The data processor system of EUSO-balloon: in flight performance
The EUSO-Balloon experiment is a pathfinder mission for JEM-EUSO which has as its main objective an end-to-end test of all the key technologies and instrumentation of JEM-EUSO detectors. The instrument is a telescope of smaller dimension with respect to the one designed for the ISS. It is mounted in an unpressurized gondola of a stratospheric balloon. It was launched during the CNES flight campaign in August 2014 from the Timmins (Ontario) base. The flight lasted about five hours and the payload reached a float altitude of about 38 km. In this paper we will present the Data Processor (DP) of EUSO-Balloon. The DP is the component of the electronics system which performs the data handling and, through the interface with the telemetry system, allows the controlling and the monitoring of the instrument from the ground. We will describe the main components of the system and their performance during the flight.

When I check a checkbox it moves the line to the bottom of the note?
Nothing in Evernote that I know of.
Checkbox features are very basic; on or off.
It can be used in a search, but I haven't much use for that.
Might be something for our more talented script programmers.
Then you can hit the check box and a hotkey of your choosing to move the line. FWIW.
Also, just realized a #Del after your step three will remove the blank line where the item was in the first place.
Now it is virtually native, great job! I'm assuming you determining the need for unchecked status is remediation of existing lists as you go through them?
There have been other posts on the forum relative to moving completed items to the bottom of checklists and I hope those folks will check back and find this one. Very nice solution you have developed here..
Results so far have been as expected..
You are welcome. Nice video, makes it very clear.
Could you send detailed instruction on how you made this macro? Or can you send the file? This is what we have been looking for. Appreciate any assistance.
Download PhaseExpress and then create a macro (in their terms) using the steps from the post above, copied below. The first line represents the commands you put in the Macro, the numbers explain what the command does. PE is fairly easy to learn, mostly point and click.
Thanks I will try this out. Appreciate the help.
You are welcome. If you need any more help just post back here.
Nice workaround. I still think Evernote should have this as native. Is there a Feature Request open about this? If implemented I would not have to use other app (using Wunderlist for that kind of things, like shopping list) only Evernote.
Is there a Feature Request open about this?
I believe so. I have seen other posts and feature requests about being able to sort the CHECKBOXES within a note. For anybody using Evernote for task management, it is really a great feature to have, almost a mandatory | fundamental one I would say.
Similar to you, I am also using a separate task management app (mine is Todoist) and I use TaskClone to create the relationship between the two.

The Salary of a Movie Production Designer
by Will Charpentier
The production designer builds a world in which actors act.
1 Definition of a Senior Art Director
2 How Much Money Can You Make on Filmmaking?
3 The Salary of a Prop and Set Designer
4 How Much Do Videographers Make?
Production designers in the motion picture industry are the artists who use sets, special effects and lighting to create the backdrop you see at the cinema. They are responsible for creating the worlds that moviegoers ultimately see. Salaries are substantial for most of these professionals.
Production designer might appear in a movie's credits as the art director. According to a May 2011 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, art directors in the motion picture and video industry account earned an average wage of $62.39 an hour or $129,780 a year.
The BLS reports that art directors in the motion picture and video industries earned a median wage of $108,860 as of May 2010. The median is the point where half earn more and half earn less. The salaries of art directors in the movie business compares favorably to those for the occupation as a whole, which includes the publishing, advertising and specialized design industries. The median salary for all art director jobs was $80,630 per year.
Employment Considerations
Like most art directors, a movie production designer is likely to hold at least a bachelor's degree in design or art. He must be able to communicate his vision for the movie to the art, lighting and special effects staff clearly and effectively, meaning people skills are a must. Some production designers learn their craft in live theater in a specialty such as lighting or set design. Others learn it by working as a production assistant in the art department of a film production company.
The Outlook
The BLS expects the number of jobs for art directors across all industries to grow 9 percent from 2010 to 2020, which is slower than the average for all occupations. Of the new jobs, only 300 are expected to be added to the movie and video industries. This means competition for production designer jobs will be fierce in the years to come.

There are so many special occasions in our lives. When you put together a Pinterest perfect party, you need an invitation that matches all the details you created for your event. A new baby needs to be announced in a beautiful way, not just with a Facebook post or a tweet. Where do you turn to for beautiful invitations or announcements?

Why Print Invitations and Announcements?

They actually offer a lot of printables for you to customize and help you bring your event together. They also offer thank you notes and other accessories to match your announcement or invitation.

Q: featured post same as post content I have a wordpress site I am creating.
on the post pages, I have text widget with PHP allowed, where I have a custom loop:
<?php  $my_query2 = new WP_Query("showposts=1&cat=9,10,11,18,19&orderby=rand"); ?>
        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
         <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">

               <?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail('home-thumb');
}

?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

                <?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>

            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">[more]

            <?php endwhile; ?>
            <?php else : ?>

<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

            <?php endif; ?>

For some reason, whatever blog post you are on is the same as in the loop I created.
See an example here:
http://counselingandtraining.com/play-therapy/
The loop for the post is not modified.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Let me know if I can provide further info.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Chris

A: It looks to me like the problem is that you are still using the base query.
You can change this by adding your variable $my_query2 in the code like this:
    <?php if ($my_query2->have_posts()) : ?><?php while ($my_query2->have_posts()) : $my_query2->the_post(); ?>

This will make all the functions like the_title(), the_content(), etc work as intended since they will be set to $my_query2.

We have had a busy couple of weeks since Albert confessed to being a chocaholic. Our guests have come from far and near. From Mackay in the north to Narrabri in the south. Not forgetting Beenleigh in the west. Coolum and Yamba are also within that line up.
If you are wondering why from Beenleigh, we don't always have guests on holidays. Sometimes they just want to have a change of scenery and enjoy the whole experience including a massage or two and throw a line in the river. So I suppose it is a holiday, even if it is only a day. Bob, his other half and their friends that met here even had a candlelit dinner. I also believe they had lamb shanks. That were cooked to perfection by the time the electricity went off. Unlike our roast, fortunately we have a wood stove so it was a quick reshuffle, more wood and we too were able to eat by candlelight.
We also have many business people who work in the area at irregular intervals. Even ones moving to the area find it is a good way to learn their way around before signing a lengthy lease. I think the point I am making, is have a good look at our website to see what we do have to offer. I forget all we have and what people like. Like the electric blankets! Sorry guys, I really should have told you upon arrival rather than the next day. Here I was, not liking the fact that you can see the chord. Obviously it is only me seeing it. Speaking of seeing and not liking, I have to change the 'B' in the 'BUS'. I am open to someone, anyone, telling me it is OK! That's a story for another day for those that don't know what I am talking about. Albert is nagging to fill you in, so no doubt he will throw in his two bobs worth soon.

Subfamilia: Asclepiadoideae

Genus: Asclepias
Species: Asclepias meadii
Asclepias meadii Torr. ex A.Gray
* Manual ed. 2:704. 1856
* USDA, ARS, National Genetic Resources Program. Germplasm Resources Information Network - (GRIN) [Data from 07-Oct-06]. [1]
Asclepias meadii is a rare species of milkweed known by the common name Mead's milkweed. It is native to the American Midwest, where it was probably once quite widespread in the tallgrass prairie.[1] Today much of the Midwest has been fragmented and claimed for agriculture, and the remaining prairie habitat is degraded.[1]
The plant is a federally listed threatened species due to this destruction of its habitat.[1] Factors contributing to its rarity include mowing and plowing, erosion, loss of a natural prairie fire regime, pesticides directly applied or drifting from nearby agricultural operations, invasive plant species, trampling by hikers, loss of native insect pollinators, and predation by a number of insect species.[1]
The only naturally-occurring populations of the plant are located in Missouri and Illinois, and populations have been reintroduced to Indiana and Wisconsin, where the plant had been extirpated.[2] There are also some populations in Kansas and Iowa, but few of these may last, especially in Kansas, where they occur on private hay fields that are mowed frequently.[2]
This is a rhizomatous perennial herb with a waxy erect stem growing up to about 40 centimeters tall. Blue-green, herringbone-patterned leaves occur in opposite pairs about the stem. The lance-shaped blades are smooth and sometimes wavy along the edges, and measure up to 8 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a nodding umbel of 6 to 23 fragrant flowers. Each flower has five petals up to a centimeter long which are green or purple-tinged when new and grow paler as they age. Behind them are five reflexed sepals. The flowers are nectar-rich[2] and are pollinated by digger bees (Anthophora spp.), bumble bees (Bombus spp.),[3] and other bees. The fruit is a follicle up to 8 centimeters long containing hairy seeds. The species is long-lived, taking at least four years to reach sexual maturity and living for several decades,[3] possibly over a century.[1]
The species often reproduces vegetatively by sprouting more stems from its rhizome. It also sometimes reproduces sexually by producing seed. A reduction in genetic diversity is a threat to the species, because human activity and other processes have favored vegetative reproduction, a cloning of the plants that does not remix genes.[2][4] Mowing chops off the flowers or immature fruits, preventing seed production.[2] Fragmentation of the habitat reduces the number of nearby plants that can trade pollen and the likelihood of visits from common pollinating insects.[1]
The plant is adapted to occasional prairie fire, and the suppression of such fires is detrimental. [5] Fire may have a number of beneficial fire ecology effects on the plant, including increases in leaf and flower production and in genetic diversity. [6]
Insect ecology
Insect pests that eat the plant include the milkweed beetles Tetraopes femoratus and Tetraopes tetraophthalamus and the milkweed weevils Rhyssematus annectans and Rhyssematus lineaticollis.[3] This plant, like many other milkweeds, hosts the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus).[3]

The Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating has announced the dates for its 2017 CIPHEX Roadshow events.
The first is planned for St. John's, Nfld. on Sept. 21. After a bit of a breather, the show will then travel all the way across the country to Edmonton on Oct. 17 and then on to Regina, Sask. on Oct. 19.
The Canadian Hydronics Conference will take place in Edmonton in conjunction with the Roadshow. An expanded program of seminars and workshops for HVAC/R, plumbing, hydronics and water treatment will be featured in all three cities, reports Elizabeth McCullough, CIPH show manager.
The CIPHEX Roadshow was created as a cost effective way to connect buyers and sellers in markets that do not have major trade shows. For visitors, it offers the chance to meet face-to-face with manufacturers and learn about new products and technologies.


When I pack my children's lunches for school, I always try to include a healthy snack for them to enjoy after they have finished their main meal. Sometimes I give them something crunchy like pretzels, but I know they often crave something on the sweet side. Rather than include sugary snacks like pudding or gelatin, I like to give them something better for them, such as these 6oz Libby's Single Serve Fruit Cups. Our children do not see these snack cups any differently than they do pudding or gelatin. They just know that it is sweet and they love the taste. They do not really care that the fruit is good for them and only has 120 calories per cup. It's tough to get children to eat the recommended four servings of fruits and vegetables every day. These fruit cups help to sneak in an extra serving during lunchtime, even when your children are away from you.

Thank you to Libby's Fruits & Vegetables for providing a prize pack for our contest prize and for sending my family a prize pack as a thank you for taking the time to participate in this campaign.

My brother-in-law went to college in Georgetown, Texas. He attented Southwestern University and this senior learned that it is the oldest University in Texas. The campus is close to the historic district, a nine-block area around the Williamson County Courthouse, on the historic Square. Just 20 miles north of Austin, Georgetown enjoys all the benefits of the Central Texas climate.
Established in 1848, Georgetown is rich in culture and history, with more than 180 homes and buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At the heart of Georgetown's Downtown Historic District is the charming Town Square.
The recently restored Williamson County Courthouse, built from native limestone, with a grand copper dome is the centerpiece of historic downtown. The downtown area boasts a varied collection of boutiques, restaurants and antique and craft stores.
The city is known as the "Red Poppy Capital" of Texas with a massive amount of poppies in the Red Poppy Festival that takes place each April and draws over 30,000 visitors. Georgetown was established in 1848 as a trading center for the surrounding agricultural area.
Much of the town has been preserved through participation in the Main Street Project along with help of the Georgetown Heritage Society. Senior visitors will find one of the best collections of Victorian architecture in the entire state of Texas.
The University Avenue – Elm Street Historic District consists of a group of five houses built between 1889 and 1900, on three city blocks in Georgetown. Few alterations have been made to the structures, and the area today retains the scale and character of an affluent late nineteenth century neighborhood.
Seniors are invited to take a stroll in beautiful downtown Georgetown and to appreciate some outstanding Victorian architecture. In addition, unique shopping and delicious dining await your visit.
If you enjoy theater, don't miss the Palace Theatre in the historic downtown district that is home to a year-round season of live theater productions including musicals, comedies, and dramas. The Williamson Museum promotes the unique culture and heritage of Williamson County.
Thanks, Jim. Your invitation to Georgetown entices us to return.
