L'attaque du train postal Glasgow-Londres (également connue comme Cheddington Mail Van Raid en anglais) est une attaque de train commise le  à  en Angleterre contre le train postal Glasgow-Londres et considérée à l'époque comme le « casse du siècle ». À la suite de l'enquête policière, notamment à la ferme où les braqueurs préparent leur coup et où ils se réfugient après l'événement, la plupart de la quinzaine de criminels impliqués sont condamnés à des peines de vingt à trente ans de prison mais plusieurs s'évadent et sont recapturés. L'argent, en grande partie, n'a jamais été retrouvé.

Préparation
La planification de l'opération s'appuie sur des informations internes fournies par un homme désigné comme l'Ulsterman et identifié comme Patrick McKenna en 2014. Celui-ci, employé du General Post Office à Salford près de Manchester, détient des informations précises sur les transferts d'argent effectués par train par l'opérateur postal Royal Mail. Brian Field, commis du Solliciteur de Londres, présente Patrick McKenna à Gordon Goody et Buster Edwards.

Gordon Goody et Buster Edwards, avec Bruce Reynolds, Charlie Wilson et Roy James planifient le raid sur une période de plusieurs mois. Reynolds prend la tête dans la conception de l'affaire. Le groupe, bien qu'ayant du succès dans le crime organisé, n'a pratiquement aucune expérience dans l'attaque de trains. Ils font donc appel à un autre gang de Londres, les South Coast Raiders. Cette bande comprend Tommy Wisbey, Bob Welch et Jim Hussey, qui ont de l'expérience dans ce genre d'opération, de même que Roger Cordrey, qui connaît bien le terrain et imagine comment arrêter le convoi. Parmi les autres instigateurs figurent Ronnie Biggs, que Bruce Reynolds a connu en prison. L'équipe comprend finalement seize membres, John Daly, Jimmy White, de même que trois hommes connus simplement par les numéros 1, 2 et 3, et enfin un conducteur de train retraité surnommé « Stan Agate ». L'équipe comprend finalement seize larrons.

Site choisi

L'endroit choisi pour transférer l'argent du convoi est le Bridego Bridge, pont ferroviaire sur la West Coast Main Line situé à , dans la municipalité de Mentmore dans le Buckinghamshire, au nord-ouest de Londres. Le chemin de fer y croise une route locale proche qui permet d'y garer les véhicules qui évacueront les sacs postaux. Les membres du gang se réunissent la nuit précédant l'attaque dans une ferme isolée de Leatherslade achetée pour l'occasion, afin de préparer leur coup.

Convoi
Le  à , lambulant postal quitte la Gare centrale de Glasgow à destination de la Gare d'Euston à Londres, l'arrivée étant prévue à  le lendemain matin. Le train est propulsé par une locomotive  tirant douze wagons où  des postes trient le courrier pendant tout le trajet. Les sacs de courrier sortant des différents bureaux de poste locaux sont accrochés sur des crochets le long de la voie ferrée, le personnel à bord prenant le courrier sortant et remettant sur le crochet le courrier trié à destination du bureau de poste local sans retarder le train. Le second wagon derrière la locomotive sert au transport de valeurs.

Habituellement, les valeurs sont de l'ordre de  mais en raison du Bank holiday, le contenu vaut exceptionnellement ce jour-là plus de  de livres sterling (M£), soit  en valeur d'aujourd'hui, en petites coupures destinées à la destruction. Les convois de valeurs disposent d'alarmes, de grillages aux fenêtres et de verrouillage des portes depuis 1961, suivant la recommandation de la Post Office Investigation Branch. Les trois convois ainsi équipés ne sont pas disponibles et les wagons (M30204M) en réserve n'ont pas ces dispositifs de sûreté, non plus que de systèmes radio jugés comme trop coûteux. Les agents de surveillance de ce train sans voiture de voyageurs sont peu nombreux, pour ne pas éveiller les soupçons.

Attaque

Vers trois heures du matin, la bande arrête le train postal à la hauteur du Bridego Bridge. Après avoir coupé les lignes téléphoniques et piraté la signalisation de la voie ferrée au Sears Crossing pour faire stopper le train, les membres de la bande s'emparent du mécanicien, décrochent la locomotive et les deux premiers véhicules remorqués du train - le second est toujours celui renfermant l'argent. Un des voleurs, le retraité des chemins de fer, conduit alors ce convoi réduit jusqu'à Bridego Bridge, lieu choisi car une route proche permet d'y garer les véhicules qui évacueront les sacs postaux et où le gros de la bande attaque le fourgon postal et neutralise les postiers à coups de matraque. Ils s'emparent ainsi, sans tirer de coups de feu, de  remplis de billets provenant de banques écossaises à destination des caisses de la Banque d'Angleterre, d'une valeur totale de  de livres sterling.

Arrestations et condamnations
En quittant le pont, un des hommes du gang ordonne aux gardes de « rester tranquilles trente minutes », ce qui permet à la police de concentrer ses recherches dans un périmètre. Le lundi , cinq jours après le vol, les enquêteurs localisent la ferme isolée où les voleurs se sont réunis avant le casse. La ferme avait été nettoyée par les voleurs mais des empreintes digitales avaient été oubliées sur un jeu de monopoly que les braqueurs avaient utilisé après le casse (les voleurs n'avaient pas eu le temps de brûler la ferme). La plupart des membres du gang sont rapidement arrêtés grâce aux empreintes retrouvées dans la ferme et aux indicateurs de Scotland Yard.

Treize des membres sont condamnés en 1964 de vingt à trente ans de prison. Cependant, du fait de la publication des photos des suspects recherchés, Jimmy White, reste caché en Angleterre. Il est arrêté en 1966 et condamné à trente ans de prison. Ronald Buster Edwards, un des organisateurs, part au Mexique. Il est capturé en 1966 et condamné à quinze ans de prison.

Bruce Reynolds (né en 1931), le leader du gang, reste en fuite, avec sa femme et son fils, Nick, pendant cinq ans, notamment au Mexique et au Canada. Il tente de retourner vivre incognito en Angleterre, mais est arrêté en novembre 1968 et écope de vingt-cinq ans de prison. Libéré après dix ans de détention, il écrit ses mémoires et est consultant pour un film policier anglais, Gangster No. 1. Il meurt, dans son sommeil, le .

Évasions
Ronnie Biggs s'échappe de prison le . Il effectue une opération de chirurgie esthétique et s'installe au Brésil. Malade, il rentre en Grande-Bretagne en 2001 à l'âge de  et est incarcéré. Il meurt le .

Charles Wilson (né en 1932), trésorier et organisateur du gang, est incarcéré à la HM Prison Birmingham. Il s'évade le  pour prendre la fuite en France et au Mexique. Il se cache à Rigaud (Québec) au Canada où il est retrouvé en 1968. Condamné à trente ans de prison, il est libéré en 1978, puis tué en 1990 dans un règlement de comptes en Espagne.

Le cerveau et l'informateur
La police pense qu'un casse aussi bien préparé n'a pu être réalisé que grâce à un informateur qui n'a jamais été formellement identifié par la police, , « l'homme de l'Ulster ».

Gordon Goody, considéré comme le cerveau du gang, tenait un salon de coiffure pour dames comme couverture, ce qui lui permit de fournir l'équipe en masques et matériel de grimage. Il est condamné à trente ans de prison en 1964. Après sa libération, il s'installe en Espagne où il s'est acheté grâce à la part de son butin un bar de plage à Mojácar. En , il annonce l'identité de « l'homme de l'Ulster » à l'occasion d'un documentaire sur le cinquantième anniversaire du vol (documentaire sorti dans les salles en ). Il s'agit selon lui de Patrick McKenna qui est mort quelques années auparavant. Gordon Goody meurt le , à l'âge de .

Culture
L'odonyme du viaduc où eut lieu le braquage, à l'époque « le pont Bridego » (Bridego Bridge), a été changé pour celui de Train Robbers' bridge (« pont des voleurs du train ») puis, depuis fin 2013, pour celui de « pont de Mentmore » (Mentmore Bridge). Le train ayant fait l'objet du braquage est conservé au dépôt central de l'ancienne compagnie ferroviaire  de l'ambulant postal britannique et est entretenu par des passionnés des chemins de fer. L'un des wagons du train stoppé à Ledburn est exposé au Chemin de fer touristique de la Vallée de la rivière Nene.

Adaptations au cinéma et à la télévision
 En 1966, la trilogie policière  met en scène ce vol, le rôle de Bruce Reynolds étant interprété par Horst Tappert.
 En 1967, le film Trois milliards d'un coup de Peter Yates avec Stanley Baker est une libre adaptation de ce braquage.
 En 1968, les films Le Pacha de Georges Lautner et Faut pas prendre les enfants du bon Dieu pour des canards sauvages de Michel Audiard l'évoquent.
 En 1969, le film comique Le Cerveau de Gérard Oury relate un casse fictif d'un train spécial transportant des fonds secrets de l'OTAN de Paris à Bruxelles, réalisé par , criminel expérimenté à l'origine de l'attaque du train postal Glasgow-Londres (il utilise d'ailleurs le même mode opératoire).
 En 1988, le film Buster de David Green, avec Phil Collins, raconte la cavale des membres du gang de Bruce Reynolds à la suite de l'attaque du train postal Glasgow-Londres.
 En 2013 à la télévision britannique : The great train robbery : deux épisodes de  chacun, réalisés par Julian Jarrold et James Strong. Cette réalisation obtient un BAFTA en 2014.

Dans la bande dessinée, la publicité et la littérature
 En 1967, la bande dessinée Le Train fantôme d'Eddy Paape et Jean-Michel Charlier, dont le héros est Marc Dacier, s'inspire, avec précision mais librement, de ce braquage.
 En 1970, Paul-Jacques Bonzon publie Les 6 compagnons et les pirates du rail dans la bibliothèque verte, cet épisode des aventures des « Six Compagnons de la Croix-Rousse », s'inspire visiblement des évènements d'août 1963.
 Dans son roman The horrible man in heron's wood : Le bois du Héron, Paris, Librairie des Champs-Élysées, Le Masque 1177, 1971, Belton Cobb fait dire à un de ses personnages : . Cette dernière réplique :

 Une publicité pour des Lego de 1983 met en scène l'organisation de l'attaque avec les petites briques.
 Le roman  Royal Flush, paru en 2002  de Lynda La Plante met en scène un personnage surnommé " Le colonel " qui a commis un braquage analogue à celui d'août 1963, avec le même mode opératoire : signaux trafiqués, et aiguillage du wagon contenant le butin sur une voie de garage (page 70). Ronald Biggs est cité nommément page 365.

Q: Where are the generated JSP class files located? I am using Tomcat 7.1 and Eclipse Indigo to develop a Java Web Application.
I just want to ask if anybody knows where the JSP translated files (the java files) are stored? Its often i receive exceptions indicating the jsp java file line, but if i can not see the file it is more difficult to correct the bug.

A: The JSP translated files are stored (in Tomcat) in /work/Catalina/localhost/[your_app_context]/org/apache/jsp/.
Should check in other containers or web servers.

A: Doubleclick the Tomcat entry in Servers tab in Eclipse. You'll see something like this in Server Locations section:

If you haven't changed the server path and it thus defaults to Eclipse's workspace metadata, then the Tomcat's /work directory is not in Tomcat's own installation folder, but in the path as shown in the above screenshot.

Unrelated to the concrete problem, if you adhere the JSP coding recommendations and you avoid Java code in JSP altogether, then debugging will be so much easier, along with a lot of other advantages.

A: you can find the jsp compailed java classes in your workspace:
And the path is: workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\work\Catalina\localhost\auctuus\org\apache\jsp\jsp\gbp\settings

Hurricane Matthew likely won't strike the US for another day — but after seeing its devastating impact on Haiti, many are not taking chances.
They've raided stores for supplies, waited in seemingly endless gas station lines and evacuated their homes as the storm threatens much of the East Coast.
After its harsh winds and heavy rains assailed Caribbean nations, Hurricane Matthew continued early Wednesday its march toward the US. The deadly hurricane, which has sustained winds at 125 mph as it heads toward the Bahamas, has triggered a hurricane warning for parts of Florida — and started to cause headaches elsewhere along the East Coast.
Forecasters predict it will be a Category 4 hurricane by the time it brushes up against the East Coast — including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina — sometime between Thursday evening and Saturday.
"When a hurricane is forecast to take a track roughly parallel to a coastline, as Matthew is forecast to do … it becomes very difficult to estimate impacts this far in advance," the hurricane center said.
CNN forecasters predict the storm could hit parts of Florida starting Thursday night. Starting late Tuesday night, the National Hurricane Center had placed parts of south Florida — including parts of metro Miami and Lake Okeechobee — under a hurricane warning.
Weather Channel Senior Meteorologist Stu Ostro who has been busy tracking the storm captured this eerie image of the hurricane. Ostro says it is an un-doctored weather satellite image.


I suspect all of us have had brain-sucking jobs that siphon our very soul. Who hasn't coped by daydreaming of telling the boss to stick it, then riding off on your motorcycle? Meet Lois Pryce, who did just that.
Lois on the Loose is her story. At age 29, the author quits her cube-farm job at the BBC in London. Ignoring the doom-sayers, she buys a 225cc Yamaha Serow trail bike and ships it to Alaska. With only her fiery red hair and a bottomless well of optimism, she sets out on her quest to ride to Tierra del Fuego. Solo.
We live in a world in which riders endlessly debate over which are the best $1,500 aluminum saddlebags. For many of us, a simple ride to the coffee shop now requires a GPS, intercom with integrated cell phone, HID driving lights and armored laptop carrier. Ms. Pryce shuns all this and simply rides. Beyond simple tools, she carries only maps, a compass and cash.
By anyone's account, the author is under-prepared for this adventure. Her mechanical skills are basic. Her command of the Spanish language consists of the words for "cheese" and "caution" Along the way, she encounters bears, biting insects and crooked cops. Her riotous account of a night spent in a Mexican brothel had me laughing out loud.
Along the way, she learns how to deftly handle corrupt officials and banditos alike. She learns to do all her maintenance but "a complete engine rebuild." Best of all, she discovers that she is a bit of a writer.
And what a writer! Ms. Pryce writes in a light, positive tone that is the antithesis of too many "Extreme Adventure" writers. Bears are not "wrestled;" they are observed. Latin American roads are not "battled," they are traversed, all in good time.
I read the UK paperback version, which is loaded with British colloquialisms. A diluted American version is available for the less-adventurous reader. Stick with Ms. Pryce's version for the full experience. Lois Pryce deals with the challenges and triumphs of life on two wheels with a sense of humor, simple joy and wonderment. Riders and readers alike will love Lois on the Loose: four-out-of-four cylinders.
Verdict: ADV Rider: No GPS. No cell phone. No laptop.
Girrrl Rider: Ditch the zero then ride your ride!
Capt. Mileage: This ain't no Poker Run.

HomeAuditsSan Francisco Ethics Commission Audit Report: Elect Alicia Wang District 1 Supervisor, FPPC ID #1302734
San Francisco Ethics Commission Audit Report: Elect Alicia Wang District 1 Supervisor, FPPC ID #1302734
This Audit Report summarizes the audit results of the committee, Elect Alicia Wang District 1 Supervisor, Identification Number 1302734 ("the Committee"), for the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. The audit was conducted to determine whether the Committee materially complied with the requirements of the Political Reform Act ("the Act") (California Government Code section 81000, et seq.) and San Francisco's Campaign Finance Reform Ordinance ("CFRO") (San Francisco Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code section 1.100, et seq).
II. Audit Authority
San Francisco Charter section C3.699-11 authorizes the Ethics Commission to audit campaign statements that are filed with the Commission along with other relevant documents to determine whether a committee complied with applicable requirements of State and local laws. Section 1.150(a) of the CFRO requires the Commission to audit all candidates who receive public financing.
III. Audit Scope and Procedures
This audit was performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The audit involved a review of the Committee's records for the period covered by the audit. This review was conducted to determine:
Compliance with all disclosure requirements pertaining to contributions, expenditures, accrued expenditures, and loans, including itemization when required;
Compliance with applicable filing deadlines;
Compliance with restrictions on contributions, loans, and expenditures;
Accuracy of total reported receipts, disbursements, and cash balances as compared to bank records;
Compliance with all record-keeping requirements.
Compliance with all provisions related to the Commission's public financing program; and
Determination of any unexpended public funds that must be returned to the Election Campaign Fund up to the amount of public funds received by the candidate.
The Commission posts audit reports to its web site and, in cases of apparent violations of law, forwards them to the appropriate enforcement agency.
IV. Committee Information
The Committee was formed in November 2007 to support the election of Alicia Wang to the office of the Board of Supervisors in the November 4, 2008 general election. David Looman served as the treasurer. The Committee was active as of December 31, 2008.
V. Audit Findings
For the period covered by the audit, the Committee received $45,028 in contributions and received $61,887 of public funds and incurred $107,007 in expenditures. The CFRO provides that any candidate who receives public funds must return unexpended campaign funds to the Election Campaign Fund. The Committee did not have any unexpended funds.[1]
The Commission determined that there were no material findings with respect to the audit of the Committee. The Committee substantially complied with the disclosure and record keeping provisions of the Act and CFRO.
[1] Unexpended funds are calculated by subtracting any unpaid bills, on-going qualified campaign expenditures, and forfeitures from the amount of cash that the Committee had on hand on the 30th day following the election in which the candidate was elected or defeated.

Quality playing fields do exist, but rarely in the public sector.
Sport England advise that the ideal budget to maintain a pitch is £12,000 a year. With the minimum being £6,000. In reality, local authorities are lucky if they are able to allocate £2,000 – £3,000 to the task.
In Sheffield, on the rare occasion money is available to provide a good pitch, word soon spreads and the lovely grass gets hammered with over use – everybody and their granny wants to play. Sports I never new existed find their way for training and informal matches. If this isn't enough, the pitches are wide open to abuse from cars, motor cycles, dog mess, and Civil War.
Alan, the Civil War Enactment Society want to set up camp on your new pitch.
Huh! are you winding me up?
No, they want to camp around the perimeter and, for safety, keep the gun powder in the middle. And, in this area – points to map – they want to keep the horses.
Leaving out the swearing which followed, this resulted in old Ernest and myself camping out on site to repel the Cavaliers and Round Heads.
Apart for a man with a large death dog, or the development of an automatic lazer deterrent, the only way to protect pitches is a big fence. But 4m high perimeter fencing is costly, and there is strong public opposition to contend with.
Is there a solution? No. At least not one that maintains the system we've had for over 100 years. In the background of austerity and massive public service cuts the simple answer is to stop: no maintenance, no grass cutting and no pitch allocation service. Did you know, allocating and organising fixtures requires a fill time officer.
The alternative, which we are currently doing in Sheffield as a pilot with the FA, is to build a network of 3g (rubber crumb) hubs and move the majority of play to these. The next step, which we haven't got near to yet, is to provide a number of secure complexes, similar to Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate in York, and move all play to these.
The only obvious source of funding to build these complexes is to sell parts off traditional playing fields for housing. With revenue to sustain coming from a combination of commercial ventures and users having to pay more to play. It will take be a brave authority and leadership to follow this path. Until then we are in the mud.
I'll get my lazer. Are you coming Ernest?

Human beings' innate sense of right and wrong indicates that morality is a universal natural law. Common moral virtues have been valued across history and across different cultures. Christianity has helped humans evolve because it encourages them to live more virtuous lives in accordance with the life of Jesus Christ. Christians strive to emulate Christ. They choose to reject selfish and carnal desires in life and instead pursue the true joy and fulfillment of a virtuous life and the hope of eternal salvation in Heaven.

Hey...I grabbed this DIY project idea from my pinterest board and I can't wait to make my own version. :) This can add life to a bare wall and you are also able to get a big wall clock. The color of the wall is really ideal to have those various colors of shadow boxes. This made the over all design stand out.
Wait, I got another idea.... why don't we use those shadow boxes for our travel photos? Wouldn't that be more awesome? I have collected some nice travel photos from out trips abroad, maybe I could make use of that. My kids will certainly love the idea!

Open Screenplay, an online, collaborative screenwriting platform and marketplace that connects content buyers with screenwriters, in partnership with The Canadian Arab Institute (CAI), a national nonpartisan organization that focuses on issues and interests of the Canadian Arab community, has announced the winners in their recent short film screenwriting contest titled Arab Stories: Debunking Arab Myths. The contest topic, which aimed to dispel stereotypes about Arabs in Western culture, seemed to resonate with writers as evidenced by the strength and creativity exhibited in submitted screenplays.
The winning screenplay went to Karim Zouak for Three Arabs Walk into a Bar, a clever and witty story that challenges the audience's assumptions about the characters on the screen. Zouak will be awarded the $1,000 first prize cash award and will be considered for production by Open Screenplay and CAI.
This contest continues Open Screenplay's mission of cultivating partnerships to host screenwriting contests about important social topics and utilizing branded short films as a powerful way to convey messages. The partnership with CAI was especially important as it demonstrated the power of narrative storytelling to elucidate and confront challenging subjects such as cultural stereotypes.
"I'm thrilled to announce the winners and finalists for the CAI Arab Stories contest. Racial and cultural stereotypes continue to exist for many groups, but especially for Arabs in the West who are often portrayed in the media as terrorists, religious fanatics, and oil sheikhs. That is why we are incredibly grateful to CAI for their vision and great efforts to combat this unfortunate and unfair trend. For those who have submitted their screenplays, thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us, and know that you have helped advance this conversation in a meaningful way" -Khaled Sabawi, CEO & Founder of Open Screenplay

Bernie Sanders: Hillary Clinton Isn't 'Qualified' To Be President
Star Shooter/MediaPunch/MediaPunch/IPx
During a Wednesday rally in Philadelphia, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president, responding to comments from the former secretary of state criticizing Sanders' recent interview with the New York Daily News.
"Secretary Clinton appears to be getting a little bit nervous," Sanders said in his Wednesday speech. "And she has been saying lately that she thinks that I am quote unquote not qualified to be president. Well, let me, let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton: I don't believe that she is qualified, if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds."
"I don't think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC. I don't think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in Iraq. I don't think you are qualified if you've supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement, which has cost us millions of decent paying jobs," he continued. "I don't think you are qualified if you supported the Panama free trade agreement, something I very strongly opposed and which, as all of you know, has allowed corporations and wealthy people all over the world to avoid paying their taxes to their countries."
Sanders comments came in response to a Wednesday morning MSNBC interview in which Clinton was asked about Sanders' discussion with the New York Daily News about how he would break up big banks if he was elected president. Clinton was asked whether Sanders was qualified and ready to be president.
"I think he hadn't done his homework and he'd been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn't really studied or understood, and that does raise a lot of questions," Clinton said in response. "Really what that goes to is for voters to ask themselves can he deliver what he's talking about."
The Clinton campaign was quick to criticize Sanders' comments about Clinton not being qualified on Wednesday night.
Hillary Clinton did not say Bernie Sanders was 'not qualified.' But he has now – absurdly – said it about her. This is a new low.

Q: Omnisharp vim with neocomplete not working I installed Omnisharp and I am able to get autocompletion with < Ctrl+X > + < Ctrl+O >, but this is obviously not ideal as you have to keep hitting this weird combination of keys. I have also installed neocomplete bundle to try and get autocompletion while I type but I am not getting the same autocompletions that come with Omnisharp.
I tried to used these neocomplete settings supplied from the Omnisharp github page in my vimrc, which gives me an error when used on its own:
https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vim/wiki/Example-NeoComplete-Settings
And paired with the example settings on the main page here: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vim

When Sherry Mitchell-Bruker organized the first meeting of new environmentalist group Friends of Lake Monroe last November, only a few people came. Now the group's membership has expanded to about 40 people.
Mitchell-Bruker, a hydrologist by training with a doctoral degree from IU's School of Public and Environmental Affairs, had become concerned with the quality of the lake during a kayaking trip. She also noticed that piles of trash followed the shoreline.
Friends of Lake Monroe was established to serve as a watershed group with the intention of protecting the lake for current and future generations. Lake Monroe is Bloomington's only source of water, so Mitchell-Bruker said it is vital to ensure this water remains safe.
Bloomington tests the quality of the lake water monthly to make sure it matches standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The tests look for disinfectant byproducts that occur as a result of having to chemically treat the lake's water.
Mitchell-Bruker also mentioned an increase in the amount of toxic algal blooms in the lake. If swimmers come into contact with the blue-green algae, they may experience skin rashes or an allergic reaction. The blooms can also harm fish and other lake organisms.
Currently, there are no known health risks from drinking the lake's water. Mitchell-Bruker said the increasing level of toxic byproducts could raise flags for EPA standards, but that had happened in the past and the city responded accordingly. Her biggest concern is expanding the group so more people in Bloomington are aware of the issue.
Dave Simcox, one of several retirees in the group, said what gets him the most excited about Friends of Lake Monroe is its activism role.
Simcox said being part of the group means an understanding that the work will be long and involved but meaningful, too.
Mitchell-Bruker said she hopes to see more leadership positions created and filled within the group, improved fundraising and the continuance of sponsoring trips to conferences and leadership training for those involved.
"By this time next year, hopefully we will have hired a grant writer and will hopefully be submitting grant proposals to the state," Mitchell-Bruker said.

Have you always wanted to try Linux but don't have a spare machine or don't care to dual boot your main computer? Well, thanks to virtualization technology, you can easily install one operating system inside another on one machine.
The following articles show you how to use some of the more popular virtualization software programs to run Linux in Windows and Windows in Linux and how to run XP mode in Windows 7. We also show you how to create and use virtual hard drives in Windows, and even how to run mobile operating systems on your PC.
VMware Workstation/Player
VMware Workstation is a popular and powerful program for creating virtual machines for running one operating system inside another. VMware Player is a free program that allows you to create and run virtual machines. However, if you want to the ability to create multiple snapshots and clones of your virtual machines, you need to purchase VMware Workstation. The following articles show you how to use VMware Workstation/Player to run Linux in Windows and Windows in Linux, run XP Mode in Windows 7, and even how to run Windows 95 in a virtual machine.

If you don't want to pay for VMware Workstation, but you want some more features than VMware Player offers, VirtualBox is a good option. It is a free program from Oracle that allows you to create multiple virtual machines running different operating systems. It has a good set of features and can run on computers running Windows, Linux, OS X, and Solaris. One major difference is that VMware Workstation allows you to drag and drop files to copy them between the host machine and the guest OS. As of the writing of this article, VirtualBox only allows you to copy and paste text, not files, between the host and the guest.
The following articles show you how to run Windows 8 in a VirtualBox virtual machine, how to run XP Mode using VirtualBox, how to use VirtualBox to run Linux on your Windows PC, and even how to backup and move VirtualBox virtual machines.

Aim To describe the challenges faced by those performing complex qualitative analysis during a narrative study and to offer solutions. Background Qualitative research requires rigorous analysis. However, novice researchers often struggle to identify appropriately robust analytical procedures that will move them from their transcripts to their final findings. The lack of clear and detailed accounts in the literature that consider narrative analysis and how to address some of the common challenges researchers face add to this problem. Data sources A longitudinal narrative case study exploring the personal and familial changes reported by uninjured family members during the first year of another family member's traumatic brain injury. Review methods This is a methodological paper. Discussion The challenges of analysis included: conceptualising analysis; demonstrating the relationship between the different analytical layers and the final research findings; interpreting the data in a way that reflected the priorities of a narrative approach; and managing large quantities of data. The solutions explored were: the mapping of analytic intentions; aligning analysis and interpretation with the conceptual framework; and the use of matrices to store and manage quotes, codes and reflections. Conclusion Working with qualitative data can be daunting for novice researchers. Ensuring rigorous, transparent, and auditable data analysis procedures can further constrain the interpretive aspect of analysis. Implications for research/practice The solutions offered in this paper should help novice researchers to manage and work with their data, assisting them to develop the confidence to be more intuitive and creative in their research.
Aim To explore the narratives created by non-injured family members in relation to themselves and their family in the first year after head injury. Background A head injury is a potentially devastating injury. The family responds to this injury by supporting the individual and their recovery. While the perspective of individual family members has been well documented, there is growing interest in how the family as a whole makes sense of their experiences and how these experiences change over time. Design Longitudinal narrative case study using unstructured in-depth interviews. Methods Data were collected during an 18-month period (August 2009-December 2010). Nine non-injured family members from three families were recruited from an acute neurosurgical ward and individual narrative interviews were held at one, three and 12 months postinjury where participants were asked to talk about their experience of head injury. Analysis was completed on three levels: the individual; the family and between family cases with the aim of identifying a range of interwoven narrative threads. Findings Five interwoven narratives were identified: trauma, recovery, autobiographical, suffering and family. The narrative approach emphasized that the year posthead injury was a turbulent time for families, who were active agents in the process of change. Conclusion This study has shown the importance of listening to people's stories and understanding their journeys irrespective of the injured person's outcome. Change postinjury is not limited to the injured person: family members need help to understand that they too are changing as a result of their experiences.
Financial support for students entering nurse education programmes has typically been the responsibility of Governments who make a substantial contribution to tuition and/or living costs. However, where programmes are not funded by Government bodies, students must make alternative arrangements for financial support. This paper explores how a university worked with local employers to design, recruit and deliver an accelerated graduate entry nursing programme and how this philosophy of collaboration ultimately led to local health employers providing sponsorship for students. Therefore, we offer for debate the benefits of collaborative curriculum design and future considerations of attracting employer funding for graduate entry nursing programmes.
'Am I a student or a Health Care Assistant?' A qualitative evaluation of a programme of pre-nursing care experience.
Aim To examine the experiences of pre‐nursing Health Care Assistants during a six‐month programme of pre‐nursing care experience. Background Care experience prior to commencing programmes of nurse education is broadly considered to be advantageous. However, it is not clear how formal care experience prior to nurse education has an impact on the values and behaviours of the aspirant nurse. Design A longitudinal prospective qualitative study using focus group discussions. Methods Data were collected from 23 pre‐nursing health care assistants during September 2013 ‐ February 2014. Three focus groups were held at the beginning, middle and end of the programme of care experience at each of the participating hospitals. A thematic analysis was used to analyse data sets from each hospital. Findings from each hospital were then compared to reach final themes. Results Five major themes were identified in the analysis of qualitative data: personal development; positioning of role in the healthcare team; support and supervision; perceived benefits; and advice and recommendations. These themes were underpinned by deep aspirations for better care and better nurses in the future. Conclusions Pre‐nursing care experience can positively prepare aspirant nurses for programmes of nurse education. The benefits identified were confirmation of aspiration (or otherwise) to pursue nursing; learning opportunities and aspiration to improve patient experience. Risks for the programme included poor supervision; role ambiguity or confusion; demotivation through a deteriorating view of nursing and poor treatment by others. The longer‐term impact on values and behaviours of this cohort requires further evaluation.

This is my HTML code area to display Image..

A: I had this problem, and for me the "fix" was to remove the height attribute.
Instead of

Try

I don't have an explanation for this behaviour, it could be a bug.

A: Try adding a full path for the image src. This is often due to "../TempLogo/chafa.jpg" not actually being the correct relative URL for the wkhtmltopdf working directory.
So, instead of "../TempLogo/chafa.jpg" try "C:/yourpath/TempLogo/chafa.jpg" or "file:///C:/yourpath/TempLogo/chafa.jpg" and see if that helps. If it does, your relative path is the problem.

A: Using pdfkit with ruby, I have found that if I send an html file with images on STDIN to wkhtmltopdf the images don't render. (ie wkhtmltopdf - toto.pdf : no images)
If I execute the EXACT same command by hand passing an html file (wkhtmltopdf toto.html toto.html), this works.
No idea why, but, I just wrote a small wrapper to call it that way and that's it.

A: I use Views to store the HTML markup for each pdf template that I want, I pass in the model to the view. Using Server.MapPath() will get you the full path to your image.

A: I have recently seen a jpeg file fail conversion - the problem was that the image was a grayscale image.
Note that all gray images are not necessarily grayscale images - check with a program like irfanview if this is the case.

Q: Swift! How to access constant in a function from another function I'm trying to access the constance "buttonSabah" from the function "func minusBtn" to the function "@objc func buttonAddSabah".
Could you tell me how to access this constance please?
I know that I could create the constant outside the function in "class ViewController:..." but I want to know how to access this constant.
'import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
func plusBtn()
{
    let buttonSabah = UIButton()
    buttonSabah.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 500, width: 20, height: 20)
    buttonSabah.backgroundColor = .red
    buttonSabah.setTitle("+", for: .normal)
    buttonSabah.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAddSabah), for: .touchUpInside)
    view.addSubview(buttonSabah)
}
@objc func buttonAddSabah(sender: UIButton!)
{
    sabah += 1
    sabahLabel.text = String(sabah)

    if sabahLabel.text == "-"
    {
        I WANT TO ACCESS THE CONSTANC FOR A CODE HERE!!!
    }

This code should check the content of the constant and according that, the button should be active or not.

A: If you change the signature to
@objc func buttonAddSabah(_ sender: UIButton) // never UIButton!

the sender is the button created in plusBtn


Does turning lock screen passcode off disable iCloud password saving?
I'm not an iOS user myself, but my mother has an iPad and iPhone, and I'm the family tech support (I've been a software engineer for almost 40 years).
Her iPhone frequently asks for her iCloud password. Shouldn't this be saved automatically in the settings, so she doesn't have to keep entering it?
She has the lock screen password disabled, does this prevent saving the iCloud password?
It also hasn't backed up to iCloud in months (I just did a manual backup). On the backup screen it says that it should backup automatically when it's plugged into a power source and locked. Does the lack of a lock screen password mean that it won't backup automatically, since it's never actually locked?
I just turned off the lock screen passcode on her iPad, is it going to start doing the same thing?

An abnormal HLA expression has been detected in some tumors including rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Classical cytotoxic treatment of these tumors, the most common childhood soft tissue malignancy, may induce multidrug resistance (MDR) associated with the expression of a 170-kDa membrane-associated glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein). In order to analyse the connection between modulation of HLA expression and the development of the MDR phenotype mediated by P-glycoprotein in RMS, we used three resistant RMS cell lines; two of these resistant cell lines (TE.32.7.DAC and RD-DAC) were established by in vitro exposure to actinomycin D, a drug of choice in the treatment of RMS; the resistant RMS- GR cell line was established from an embryonal RMS tumor after polychemotherapy. Our results showed that all the resistant cell lines showed a significant increase in the expression of HLA class I surface antigens in comparison to drug-sensitive cells. Blockade of P-glycoprotein with verapamil led to a decrease in HLA class I expression in RMS resistant cell lines. However, no modulation of HLA class II expression was observed in any of the three analyzed cell lines. These findings support the hypothesis that the development of resistance mediated by mdr 1/P-glycoprotein, directly influences the expression of HLA class I in RMS cells, inducing to upregulation. This effect may be relevant to the application in RMS of immunotherapy against tumor-associated antigens presented by HLA class I molecules.

Download 'When Your Voice Is But a Whisper'
Have you seen the excellent video of our musicians' song and wondered when you would be able to download the song? Well, wonder no longer, you can now download the song and sing along to it every day!
Several months ago customers from across Capability Scotland's services collaborated on a song to celebrate the Commonwealth Games and now we are very pleased to announce that you can download the song online or alternatively you can contact us and we can send you a copy.
The music video was launched online just under two weeks ago, at the start of the Commonwealth Games. On the day of the launch two of the musicians, Laura and April, went live on BBC Commonwealth Voices to talk about the creation of the song. They also got to hear the song being played live on air for the very first time. If you missed the interview, you can catch up with it on BBC iPlayer here.
Laura from Anton Ogilvie in Dundee said "It was a great day, I was excited to take part in it; I love the radio and singing. I got to say hello to my family on air too."
The song has been added to Do Something Brilliant's 'Little Brilliant Things', which showcases community projects from across the UK. It was also played at a special event run by the Big Lottery CelebrateIt on Saturday (2nd August) to celebrate all the CelebrateIt funded projects.
How did the song come about?
If you haven't followed the story of our musicians, let's update you.
Back in April, over 100 customers from across our services in Scotland attended musical workshops in aim of creating a song that would celebrate the Commonwealth Games thanks to Big Lottery CelebrateIt funding. Two important themes close to customer's hearts came out of those workshops; friendship and having your voice heard.
A song was then written reflecting these themes at lyric writing workshops enabling customers to visualise and talk about their feelings around these themes. Once the song had been written, several weeks of practising and rehearsing the song took place. In June seventeen musicians headed to Loopmaniac's recording studios in Dunfermline where they recorded the song and got to experience a recording studio for the first time.
LA Media also attended on the day and created a music video of the song, which if you haven't viewed can be seen here (make sure you check it out, we are sure it will make you smile!).
"I definitely want to do more projects like this in the future."
April Caesar, Musician
On the 12th July the musicians from Renfrewshire, Edinburgh, Perth, Dundee and Fife came together again to perform the song live in front of an audience. Nerves ran high on the day, but it was a great success and the musicians are eager to perform the song again in the future.
Curtis Logue, Activities Development Co-ordinator, who ran the workshops and supported the musicians throughout the journey, said "this has been a really great project, music is a very powerful tool and throughout this project we have seen people develop their skills and confidence. I really hope that we can do a similar project again in the future, bringing disabled people together from across the country, giving people a medium to express themselves, whether that is lyrically or through musical instruments".

Q: Multiple session IDs in Asp.Net Core? I have set up session handling in Asp.Net Core according to documentation:
services.AddSession()
app.UseSession()

I also ensure that the session is not empty with the first request to the backend
    member __.Index() =
        __.HttpContext.Session.SetInt32("Default", 42);
        let path = Path.Combine(env.WebRootPath, "index.html")
        if File.Exists(path) then
            FileContentResult(File.ReadAllBytes(path), "text/html") :> ActionResult
        else
            ContentResult() :> ActionResult

Still, when I call WebApis on the backend from same browser app, I get 2 session IDs instead of a single session ID.
The only reason I could imagine is because I have multiple WebApis called immediately when the WebApp is loaded and all those APIs are async.
Could that explain the observation of multiple session IDs?
How could this be avoided?
Can I/should I set the session cookie/ID in the WebApp?
