Inspiration can strike at any time, which is why it's important to get those great ideas down on paper as quickly as possible once they enter your mind. Wridea is a web-app that can help with that process, by providing a simple solution to a common problem. People who use Wridea can quickly jot down all their best ideas – and even some not-so-good ones – organize those ideas by category, and then discuss the potential consequences of any of those ideas with friends, colleagues, and total strangers online.
If you've got ideas, then you've got a reason to sign up for Wridea. Create an account for free. In less than 30 seconds, you'll be typing in your first idea on one of Wridea's custom idea boards. Click "Add new idea" and type in a sentence or two about whatever your idea was. To add a more detailed description, click "Details." You can also share the idea with friends by clicking the "Sharing" button and selecting whether you'd like to make the idea private, public, or visible only to select friends online. Once you've got a handful of ideas under your belt, you'll need to start creating new pages to keep everything organized. Pages are generally centered around categories or themes, and you can share each different page with a select group of friends depending on what the content of the page pertains to. Share a page of work ideas with your colleagues from the office, for example, while keeping a page of home improvement ideas visible only to you and your spouse.
To get additional help brainstorming and fleshing out your new ideas, keep an idea public and share it with the entire Wridea community. Community members and online friends can comment on your public ideas and offer advice on how to expand on those ideas to make them even better. For people who need help keeping their thoughts organized, Wridea is an interesting solution.

What Message Does the Latest India-Pakistan Crisis Send to Militants in Kashmir?
March 14, 2019 by Basharat Ali
On February 14th of this year, a 20-year-old Kashmiri militant, Adil Ahmad Dar rammed an SUV full of explosives into an Indian paramilitary convoy truck in Pulwama, Kashmir, killing himself and more than forty Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The attack in Pulwama was the deadliest against Indian forces in the three decades of armed conflict in Kashmir. In an immediate response to the suicide attack, the Indian government accused Pakistan of supporting Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), the group that had taken responsibility for the attack. Soon thereafter, India carried out aerial strikes across the international border inside Pakistani territory, the details of which are still unclear and contested.
After Pakistan took retaliatory action, the international community focused its attention on the danger of any escalation between the two nuclear powers. The threat still looms large, even as Pakistan has safely returned Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured alive by the Pakistani military after his air craft was shot down inside Pakistani territory. Cross-border shelling continues from both sides killing military and civilians on daily basis. Various countries, including the United States, spoke up to counter the escalation of hostilities.
The Pulwama attack was the result of a signal being sent to militants that spectacular, high-casualty attacks are the only way for armed groups in Kashmir to draw attention to their cause of self-determination. This assumption was proven correct by the immediate uptick in diplomatic activity and international attention on the otherwise-ignored Kashmir after the attack in Pulwama caused India and Pakistan to come to the brink an all-out war. However, the increase in diplomatic activity and the attention of world community should not be directly linked to the danger of war between the two countries. Rather, it should be drawn to the cause that makes such a war possible: the conflict over Kashmir. As long as it remains unresolved, the conflict will continue to trigger such confrontations, with the scare of a nuclear war looming.
Is Kashmir Really a Low-Intensity Conflict?
Before the Pulwama attack, Kashmir was becoming a footnote in the long list of ongoing international conflicts. India's counterinsurgency regime has been "flushing out" militants, often poorly trained and scarcely armed, in higher numbers than the decade prior. Recruitment by militant organizations continues to be more local and militants no longer receive the degree of training and arms they did in the 1990s from across the border in Pakistan. Militant commanders have expressed their dissatisfaction against Pakistan publicly for not strongly pushing for the cause of Kashmiris diplomatically. Besides Pulwama, militants had not been able to sufficiently increase the costs of counterinsurgency in the last decade to gain the attention of the Indian government or the international community.
Some analysts refer to Kashmir as a "low intensity" conflict because the violence is localized. However, this characterization hides the human costs of this conflict which has been going on for the last seventy years. The following table shows the loss of life in the last one decade.
In the last decade, 405 persons (civilians, militants and security forces) have been killed on average each year. The average number of combatants killed each year in the same decade is 297. These killings are all battle related so, as per the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the conflict in Kashmir is "active" and given the average number of killings each year, the conflict tilts closer to being an active war (at least 1000 battle related deaths). However, it continues to be referred to as a "low intensity" conflict because these deaths are scattered throughout the calendar year.
Kashmir as a Nuclear Flashpoint
Though these killings in Kashmir have persisted – and been disregarded – over the last decade, it was the deaths of 40 paramilitary forces in a single day that caused Pakistan and India to come to the brink of war. The post-Pulwama confrontation between the two neighbors is said to be the worst conflict between the two nations since India invaded the Pakistani airspace for the first time since 1971. Mainstream media in India, including a large number of Bollywood celebrities, demanded that Pakistan be taught a lesson. Sections of the media in Pakistan ran provocative headlines while a number of the public figures in the country said no to war. The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the forces of his country have a free hand, his counterpart in Pakistan said "This issue should be solved through dialogue." The airspace was suspended for civilian flights for hours in India and for almost a week in Pakistan, hospitals in Srinagar painted the rooftops with Red Cross, and villages were even evacuated near the Line of Control (LoC). Heightened preparations suggested that a full-blown war could break out at any moment.
The conflict over Kashmir, therefore, continues to have the potential a nuclear war in South Asia; any such attack against the Indian forces in future may spark a similar blame game and military confrontation. The tragedy, however, is this: only higher numbers of casualties of security forces draw the attention of the government, while the killings of Kashmiris in "ones and twos" get passed by as necessary for normalcy.
The Pulwama attack was therefore the result of a tacit message being sent to militants that organized, high-casualty attacks are the only way for groups to attract attention, achieve legitimacy, and bring international actors to the negotiating table.
The Pulwama attack was therefore the result of a tacit message being sent to militants that organized, high-casualty attacks are the only way for groups to attract attention, achieve legitimacy, and bring international actors to the negotiating table. The evidence from Afghanistan seems to suggest this may be a strategy that works: the Taliban have repeatedly carried out gruesome attacks, killing hundreds of civilians and security forces across Afghanistan to push the United States to negotiate with them. In the last seventeen years, since the beginning of the "war on terrorism," close to 147,000 people have lost their lives in Afghanistan alone.
Kashmir, in comparison, has not witnessed killings on such a scale, although the numbers are high if we take stock of the total deaths in the last three decades. For years now, the violent counterinsurgency strategies applied by the Indian state appeared to have incapacitated militant organizations, whose members barge into residential apartments and steal guns from local policemen. The Indian security apparatus was more than confident that continuing "operation all-out" into 2019 would have eliminated Kashmiri militancy completely. The attack in Pulwama, however, has forced the Indian state to recalibrate its strategy. In the immediate response to these attacks, the Indian government initiated a crackdown against the Jama'at-e-Islami in Kashmir, a national Islamist party, arrested its leadership, and later banned the organization. Jama'at, the order said, is in "close touch with militant outfits" and is likely to "escalate its subversive activities including attempt to carve out an Islamic State out of the territory of Union of India."
While the Indian crackdown on pro-freedom groups in Kashmir continues, international diplomatic efforts are focused on mending the relationship between the two neighboring countries. The United Nations Security Council issued a statement condemning the Pulwama attack. Amid tensions, the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) invited the Indian Foreign Minister for the first time, which led Pakistan to boycott the summit. Following the summit, the OIC passed the resolution criticizing "Indian brutalities" in Kashmir and also praised Imran Khan for his efforts to deescalate tensions. Overall, activity on the international stage have sent mixed signals on the possibility of ending the lasting dispute. More needs to be done specifically about the conflict over Kashmir.
A Crucial Role for the International Community
Preparations for an all-out war, an increase in diplomatic activity on the Kashmir issue, a renewed international focus on Kashmir as a nuclear flashpoint, and the repression of pro-self-determination groups in Kashmir happened only because the attack in Pulwama resulted in an unprecedented number of casualties to armed forces. With such a large number of casualties and Indian elections looming, warmongers were able to clamor for retribution against Pakistan and create a hostile atmosphere that led to attacks against Kashmiri people across India. This, in turn, brought greater international attention and diplomatic efforts to the Kashmiri cause of self-determination.
If there was doubt before, the message that is now being delivered to militants is that a higher number of casualties keeps the Kashmir issue in focus, and will perhaps draw the attention of great powers and international fora. To avoid more bloodshed in Kashmir and all-out war between the two nuclear-armed adversaries in South Asia, the international community should make a concerted effort to address the root cause of the conflict by pushing India and Pakistan to the negotiating table with the people of Kashmir.

We have something important to share with you—our members, fellow artists, friends, supporters, our Northwest Community. Our lease will expire August 31, 2016, and unexpectedly, we have not been granted the option to renew it.
This means that, as we look toward next year, the Mt. Airy Art Garage will need to find a new home. It's a big challenge—one we have every intention of meeting, with your support.
Just in 2015 alone, we engaged in more socially engaged art projects and creative thinking than ever before—My Son Matters!, the Gender Weave Project with Moore College, Make Art Grow Food , and a host of events, concerts, classes and gallery exhibitions. 2016 will see a city-wide quilt and fiber show. There will be more music, more murals and rain barrels, and more community projects. And that's just for starters.
So we will be launching a major campaign to help us find a new home and for paid staff. With your help and commitment, together, we can do this.
· Community & Member Meeting, Thursday, Aug. 20, 7 pm at MAAG. Next steps.
· Come to the community meeting where we will layout projections and next steps.
Fundraisers? Marketing mavens, video artists, word noodlers, connectors? Strategic planners? Realty lawyers and realtors? Accountants? Admins? Architects? We need you all now. Lend us your skills. Step up and volunteer. Let's push ahead into this new phase together.
We know we can forge through this and move forward.
Art Really Does Change Everything…What A Great Year!
Annual Art Auctions, Rain Barrel Projects, exhibitions, musical performances, and much more. All with your support! Let's keep dreaming together.
Big News! We want to inform you of our latest hurdle and achievement! We are now proud to announce that MAAG is a standalone nonprofit registered with both the state and IRS as a tax-exempt 501c3. We can now forge ahead with grants previously closed to us. We want to thank Mt. Airy Community Services Corporation for being our fiscal sponsor. It's been a wonderful partnership, and we couldn't have gotten this far without their support and experience.
We expect our nonprofit status this will impact us in new ways, some of them still uncharted. We know we'll need our own accountant and insurance policies. We'll begin to staff our organization with salaried personnel. So, for starters, we want to expand our board with business experts who have a love of the arts.

TV FanFiction Thread
Ceindreadh replied to Cloud9Shopper's topic in The TV Bazaar: Assorted TV-Adjacent Talk
They're pretty good fun. I did a few of them. What happens is, you sign up and give a list of the fandoms that you have at least a certain number of fics written in, and a list of the fandoms you'd like to write in. Then you get given a name and have to take one of their stories and write your own version of it. You're allowed to nominate a story that you don't want to be rewritten and I don't think you were allowed remix a previous remix, but apart from that, it was a case of anything goes! I don't think I was posting to AO3 when I wrote the crossovers. Only about
NCIS: Unpopular Opinions
Ceindreadh replied to betsyboo's topic in NCIS
It may have been the 'proper Italian' pronunciation of the name, but it's not the way that DiNozzo himself pronounced his name. Which means that every time Fornell deliberately mispronounced it after the first time, it was intended as a deliberate insult to Tony.
I think I've a fair variety in my fandoms. In order of appearance - ER, The man from UNCLE (series), NCIS, Without a Trace, CSI New York, Torchwood, NCIS Los Angeles, Hercules: The legendary Journeys, The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Holby City, Space 1999, and now I've circled back to CSI NY. Some of them were only one shots, or rather, I only finished one fic in the fandom, and I did do crossovers with Quantum Leap and Supernatural. Also did a remix fic for Hawaii Five-0 a good few years back. Febuwhump sounds like fun! As if I needed an excuse to whump my characters,
I see your seven and raise you ten! Most of them though were sequential, although there were a few times when I was writing in 3 or 4 fandoms simultaneously. Fun times!
S19.E10: Pledge of Allegiance
Ceindreadh replied to thewhiteowl's topic in NCIS
I know it's possible to do once you have the account number and sort code. But yeah, putting the money in without giving them a heads up was not a good move. Heck, wasn't one of the points against the suspect in this ep, the fact the money was put into *his* account? (or did I mishear part of the plot).
S04.E07: …But to Connect
Ceindreadh replied to paulvdb's topic in Star Trek: Discovery
Yes, I remember Andromeda. As well as the ship and the hologram, IIRC, there was also an android avatar of the AI. When they mentioned taking Zora out of Discovery and putting her somewhere else, I was presuming that they'd do something similar and put her consciousness into an artificial body, like with Grey.

Season 11 is starting on BBC1 on Sunday the 2nd January.
All Episodes Talk: What's Up Doc?
Ceindreadh replied to SilverStormm's topic in ER
IIRC, the Carbys were a bigger fanbase back in the day, or definitely a more vocal one. I remember reading so so many posts where fans of the pairing were convinced that every little thing was a sign from TPTP to the fanbase that Carter and Abby were meant to be. And even though I'd stopped watching the show long before the end, I do remember cackling somewhat evilly when it turned out that Luby was the 'winner' in the end.
Buying books or borrowing from the library? Which do you prefer?
Ceindreadh replied to RealHousewife's topic in Books
Buying. If I had a library book I'd be worried about losing it if I brought it with me on my commute and that's when I get most of my reading done. Plus, I don't always know what book I'm going to be in the mood for reading. With a library book, I'd have to read the books in a specified period of time before returning it. With a book that I own, I can choose when I want to read that particular book.

Ceindreadh replied to magicdog's topic in Everything Else TV
Because date rape wasn't a thing. If Jo had tried to report it, I doubt she would have been taken as seriously once she mentioned that she'd been on a date. Now maybe they should have done that Very Special Episode, but I doubt that it would have even occurred to any man in the writing room that it would have been an issue they should deal with.

In the UK, if they went through the NHS they'd also get to go home and not worry about being bankrupted by medical bills or have to argue with an insurance company.
S01.E05: Ronin
Ceindreadh replied to saoirse's topic in Hawkeye
What's the difference between Ronin going on a killing spree and Yelena going on a (paid) killing spree? Right now, Yelena is not under any sort of mind control, she is choosing of her own free will to be a paid killer just like Clint chose of his own free will to be Ronin. For Yelena to condemn Clint for killing people would be a bit hypocritical. She's no better than he is, just because she earns money for her kills.
Ceindreadh replied to Aethera's topic in Other Dramas
The whole custody fight is going to come down to who has the better nannys/daycare facilities. Because no way are either Ben or Miranda going to quit their jobs to be a stay at home parent. And I doubt that the grandparents would either.


The argument is really over which of these is better, or which featured the better JA performance, or whatever. Most people would side with the American Film Institute and favor "The Sound of Music," though unbeknownst to the AFI, "Mary Poppins" is one of the great films of all time. Plus, Julie won the Academy Award for "Poppins," and was only nominated for "SOM." "Victor/Victoria" is the runner-up. Then "Millie."
Though she may have thought of herself as Blake Edwards's wife and star, her gift of a four-octave singing voice made her and her music-teaching-nanny role one and the same.
Musical comedy. Though now she makes a stately queen both in live action and voice-over, her failure in anything but musical comedy (and only mild success with Edwards) isn't entirely due to the audience's pigeonholing her. It's just what she does.
A great lover's stare, often forlorn. Mild-mannered softness one minute, then bursting out the next. The rapid-fire angry bits, usually still with a soft, cushiony voice.


Manu, the magician at Circus Rondo, is fantastic. With a little magic powder, a wand, and a few words, he can pull amazing things out of his top hat. Tito, the little clown, would love to do that kind of magic. But when he tries with his own little brown hat, the magic doesn't work at all. Maybe it's because he's uncertain and shy. What would happen if Tito were to ask Manu to show him how the trick really works? An endearing picture book about magic and daring, for children aged 3 years and up.

His face was as calm and unmoved as ever, the thin lips tightly compressed, and looking just as he looked at Kernstown and Manassas. Riding up to the side of an elderly-looking gentleman in clerical cloth, standing in front of the main entrance to the institute, Major Jackson wheeled his horse, and facing his battalion as he raised his cap, said, Let us pray. The venerable Dr. White, pastor of the Presbyterian church, then stepped forward, and baring his gray locks to the sun, poured forth a feeling prayer. It was a memorable scene! Just as the clergyman pronounced the Amen, Jackson wheeled his horse, and in a short, crisp manner, gave the command, Forward, march!

Q: How do I get a random number without a repeating pattern in Visual Studio? I am trying to generate 3 random numbers which pick a random string from a list (strLabel) but I keep getting the same combinations. Is there any way to stop it repeating the same numbers?
 Random r = new Random();
 int iSelect3 = r.Next(0, 35);
 textBox3.Text = strLabel3[iSelect3];

I want to use something "more random" as I keep getting the same combinations of numbers, thanks!

A:  Random r = new Random((int) DateTime.Now.Ticks & 0x0000FFFF);
 Thread.Sleep(20); // Apply an algorithm to differentiate the seed value in each invocation, or call the Thread.Sleep method to ensure that you provide each constructor with a different seed value.
 int iSelect3 = r.Next(0, 35);
 textBox3.Text = strLabel3[iSelect3];

Providing an identical seed value to different Random objects causes each instance to produce identical sequences of random numbers. This is often done when testing apps that rely on random number generators.
  If your application requires different random number sequences, invoke this constructor repeatedly with different seed values. One way to produce a unique seed value is to make it time-dependent. For example, derive the seed value from the system clock, as the Random() overload does. However, the system clock might not have sufficient resolution to provide different invocations of this constructor with a different seed value. This results in random number generators that generate identical sequences of pseudo-random numbers, as illustrated by the first two Random objects in the following example. To prevent this, apply an algorithm to differentiate the seed value in each invocation, or call the Thread.Sleep method to ensure that you provide each constructor with a different seed value.
