Q: @synthesize memory managemnet Lets say i have this member:
@property (retain, nonatomic) Student *student;
@synthesize student;

Now lets say in some other class, i am setting student, means i am assigning some freshly created object to student. Now suppose student was already having reference to one object before, so my question is does this object gets released when i assign new object ref to student ? In this code
someClassObjectRef.student = newStudent; //someClassObjectRef.student is already having one student object ref

So do i have to explicitly release old object before assigning new one or does @synthesize does that in back ? I hope you understand what i am trying to say.
Note: No ARC is used.
Thanks.

A: The synthesized setter will release any previously retained object before retaining the new one; something like:
- (void)setStudent:(Student *)student
{
    [student retain];
    [_student release];
    _student = student;
}

Note that it retains the passed-in object before release-ing the old object; this allows you to pass the same object into itself without having it deallocated.
There are other ways to do this, for example:
- (void)setStudent:(Student *)student
{
    if (student != _student)
    {
        [_student release];
       _student = [student retain];
    }
}

The proper way to release the student object is to set nil in your dealloc method:
- (void)dealloc
{
    [self setStudent:nil];    // or self.student = nil;
    [super dealloc];
}

A: I hope the you want memory management on  - (void)dealloc  or `- (void)viewDidUnload
- (void)dealloc {
   [student release]; or  [self setStudent:nil];
    [super dealloc];
 }

These are the Best Practices For Memory Management or You can Create Object at the Time of Usage and Release after Using it.
Student *student = [[Student alloc]init];
// Do Some Work over here
[student release];

Quintuplet of DOTs extend their 511 traveler information system programs
By Adam Frost on	 November 11, 2019 Congestion Reduction, Smart Parking, Traveler Information Systems, Weather systems
Supplier of applied informatics systems for the transportation industry, Iteris has announced five Departments of Transportation (DOTs) across the US have extended their contracts for their 511 traveler information systems.
Georgia DOT, Montana DOT, Kansas DOT, West Virginia DOT and the Riverside County Transportation Commission in southern California's Inland Empire, have all renewed their 511 services contracts with Iteris, totaling more than US$1.5m in orders. The extended programs will help the agencies reduce congestion and improve efficiency by providing the traveling public with real-time traffic, parking, and transit information, including incidents, construction works, events, as well as road and weather conditions.
Under the terms of the agreements, Iteris will upgrade, operate and maintain all five systems, which provide traffic, road and weather conditions, as well as upgrade Georgia DOT and Montana DOT's enhanced, state-of-the-art suite of mobile apps. A partial listing of new features and enhancements to the Georgia DOT and Montana DOT systems will include: situational events, whereby a snapshot from a nearby camera is now included to provide users with a complete view; as well as weather integration, favorites and best available route support features. Georgia DOT's mobile apps will also feature Waze crowdsourcing, whereby users will be able to view Waze events and switch seamlessly between the Waze and 511 apps. While the Montana DOT's new mobile apps will support a look-ahead feature that notifies users of upcoming incidents or construction along their route. Additionally, Iteris' roadway management system will allow Montana DOT to manage and monitor traffic and route conditions, events, construction and assets from within their facilities and in the field.
The five 511 services are built on Iteris' ATIS (Advanced Traveler Information Systems) platform, which provides customized, real-time, actionable information, that is delivered to transportation organizations and the traveling public. The ATIS platform is now integrated to disseminate Waze's crowd-sourced real-time traffic information, and is capable of delivering multiple types of information, including: smartphone and tablet apps; websites; IVR systems; social media outlets; dashboards; weather services; video; Reverse 511 (Personalization / My511); welcome centers/kiosks; ICM and multimedia; IRIS Open Source ATMS Interface; cable TV; and an Operator Reporting Tool for mobile reporting.
"We are proud to have been the trusted provider of 11 traveler information systems nationwide, and we are excited to extend and expand that role with these five highly visible customer renewals," said Moe Zarean, vice president and assistant general manager at Iteris. "We are committed to continuing to deliver the highest level of service to our state and county 511 systems and their citizens, while providing unparalleled solutions configured to each agency's unique needs."

Q: Cassandra secondary indices v. Lucene I understand that Cassandra is a NoSQL db and patching it with many indices is not the way to go, but here I'm looking at solution for my analytics cluster, not for the production/real-time one.
So I think it makes sense to add indices to reduce the amount of data filtered by Spark.
How do native Cassandra secondary indices compare to Lucene's indices?
Many functionalities are not available with Cassandra alone, but what about things that you can do with both?
Is it better / does it make sense to only use Lucene?
Another advantage that I see is that I can install Lucene only on my analytics cluster, without overloading the real-time one with indices (and therefore improving the write performance on that side).

A: Don't bother with Lucene integration
Since Cassandra 3.4, we have a new secondary index called SASI that offers full text search and is quite performant.

PESHAWAR - Students and youth hailing from Kurram Agency on Sunday staged a protest demonstration against the lack of medical facilities in Agency Headquarters Hospital, Parachinar where several injured of the Jan 21st blast are admitted for treatment.
Led by office bearers of Kurram Student Federation, the demonstration was held in front of Peshawar Press Club.
The protesters were holding banners and placards to denounce the barbaric killing of innocent people. The protesters said on one hand the government was not providing security to the people of Kurram Agency while on the other hand they have kept them deprived of basic facilities.
They said the agency headquarters hospital lacked basic facilities. Though there is a surgical specialist in the hospital to deal with any emergency, but at the same time no staff to assist the surgeon.
They said several of the injured persons breathed their last due to the poor condition of the hospital.
They added that the federal government was responsible for all of their miseries as no fund had been issued since long to upgrade agency headquarters hospitals in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The protesters also demanded of the federal government to provide them security against the militants.
They also stressed the government for taking concrete steps against the elements involved in the heinous crime against humanity. The protesters warned that if the responsible elements were not arrested, they would stage a sit-in near Prime Minister House in Islamabad.
On Saturday morning 23 persons were killed and more than fifty injured when an improvised explosive device exploded in the congested grocery market in Parachinar. Due to lack of facilities, the injured were brought to Peshawar's hospitals through army helicopter.
Anwarullah Khan adds: The local administration enhanced security of bazaars and commercial places in the Bajuar Agency following the Saturday's bomb blast in Kurram Agency.
An official of the local administration said while talking to The Nation that the fresh security measures in the agency were being taken in line with the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Secretariat's directives to thwart any unpleasant incident in the region.
The official said all the concerned officials of the administration and Bajaur Levies' have been instructed to ensure fool proof security of public places especially bazaars and vegetable markets in the agency.
Under the measures, the official said, additional levies' personnel are being deployed in bazaars and vegetable markets to keep close watch over the moment of suspected people. He said traders and shopkeepers of all bazaars and commercial centers have also been advised to remain vigilant.
According to the official, the traders and shopkeepers have assured the administration for remaining attentive to observe any suspicious activity along their shops.

We have worked together as a team for over seven years and have developed high-functioning, direct communications and processes to collaborate on investment execution and assist on portfolio work. Importantly, our journey together through both successes and failures provides us with a clear, shared view of what makes businesses successful.
These values inform our behavior with each other, with investors, with portfolio companies, and with other stakeholders. We build value through trusting relationships with entrepreneurs and stakeholders. We hold ourselves to the same standard with every company and person with whom we interact: portfolio companies, competitors, other investors, and ecosystem participants. We are equally open about good and bad news. We don't use information as currency. We strive to be apolitical.
We back mission-driven teams. Our experience is that mission-driven teams who believe they will change the world for the better build more successful companies than mercenary teams. We are driven to have a positive impact, and we choose to work with companies that share those values.

Still getting use to the new looking screen as everything still looks a bit strange to me.Can't believe the difference calibrating your screen can make.This image looks how I felt after my weekend away climbing and sliding down hills and rocks,I felt about as old as this chair looks!Tried out some different scenes instead of the beach I was trying out the bush.
~ by Mel on September 23, 2008.
I would like to see the foreground grass around the table lighter though and darken the grass in the background….
Dylan, when are you going to come over and give us some ps lessons? Was thinking about subscribing to Kelby Training but maybe you're the man!
Yes very nice shot! the house in the background is a little distracting though.
Nice one Mel. Did you re-process this after you had the screen calibrated? The shot looks like it was taken at some sort of secret spot?
Yeah i did but only had to drop the contrast down a little.I am use to the screen now.As for the spot I just might take you there….one day!
It certainly looks like a really restful place. I can see myself just sitting down, shutting my eyes and relaxing there. Well done.


iFixit is known for fixing electronics, but we want to help people fix everything—whether or not it has a motherboard. After all, everything breaks eventually. Recently, we challenged folks to fix their camping and outdoor gear at a pop-up repair clinic we hosted with our good friends from The Mountain Air and Patagonia.
Volunteers and local repair experts helped attendees repair around 50 different items—including tons of zippers, three different tents, two camp stoves, a handful of backpacks, lots of ripped and torn clothing items, a half dozen shoes… and a partridge in a pear tree.

If you're interested in learning how to patch your jeans or mend a broken down tent, check our gear repair guides.
Have any suggestions on broken poles? It's an old tent and I'm not sure if I can buy replacement poles yet.
Yeah Mike, you should be able to find fiberglass resin, hardener/catalyst, and cloth at most hardware stores. If the poles are fiberglass, scuff them up with sandpaper (so the resin will "grab" better), clamp them in position (so the poles are straight when you're done), and use that to mend them. If they're aluminium, you may need help from a skilled TIG welder.
I have an old Dell Pocket DJ. The input for the headphones is my problem. Sound going in and out. One speaker not working. This happens on multiple devices , so it's not the headphones. Can you guys fix something like that?

Yesterday (6/29/98) I went to my car to begin my journey from Santa Monica to San Diego.
I discovered the right rear tire was flat. When AAA arrived to change the tire, I discovered that the inside part of the tire had come apart. The tread part had separated from the sidewall portion. It was unrepairable.
Not having time (at 6:00AM) to get a new tire, I proceeded to San Diego without a good spare tire.
By, Carlsbad (just North of San Diego) my left front tire exploded. It literally came apart. After a harrowing experience of regaining control of my car and managing to get to the side; I disovered the following.
The entire tread portion of the tire had separated from the tire. It was if I had purchased some cheap retreads (which I didn't).
I can get the serial number of the tire that blewout at home; however, the tire that disintegrated on the freeway, I only have the tread band.
These tires had approximately 33,000 miles on them.
I am going to Goodyear (in San Diego) to see about an adjustment. I do not want anymore Aquatreads.

Whatever you do online, whether it's streaming video, gaming, reading the news or just looking at your emails, you need dependable broadband. In the UK, we're lucky to have access to a wide array of broadband services with different levels of performance and features. However, with so many broadband deals out there, choosing which package is right for you can be tough.
Why changing broadband provider is often a good idea
One of the most annoying parts of adult life is that you have to join a seemingly endless number of contracts. Want entertainment? You'll want a Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Sky subscription. Want heating and water? That's another contract. Setting up new contracts is sometimes confusing and time-consuming, and that's why many people prefer just to do it once. They discover a deal they like and let it renew every year.
However, things can change a lot from when you first arrive in your new home to today. Are you still paying a competitive rate? Is your broadband download speed still fast, or is it slow compared to what's on offer today? According to the UK's consumer champion and second-largest consumer organisation in the world, Which? British consumers can save an eye-watering £143 annually by switching.
Saving money is probably most buyers' primary reason to change, but it's not the only reason why switching is often a good idea:
Loyalty doesn't guarantee rewards
In the past, being a long time customer would guarantee you more rewards like competitive rates, cashback, or add-ons. However, today, 'loyalty penalties' are more and more common. A loyalty penalty is where you pay a higher amount to continue with the service. So, for instance, your service fee may rise in price yearly while new customers get offered cheaper broadband deals with the same provider.
More affordable broadband doesn't always mean slower speeds. Broadband is a competitive consumer product and even more so in the age of the internet, where it's easier than ever to compare deals. As a result, the majority of broadband providers offer money-saving deals to first-time customers in addition to competitive speeds.
Types of broadband in Croydon
When looking for the best broadband deals, you'll come across many buzzwords, and it's crucial you understand what these words mean. For instance, did you know the terms 'superfast' and 'ultrafast' aren't just fancy ways of saying fast but actually have distinct definitions?
ADSL represents Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line and is the most commonly accessible broadband type in the UK. With ADSL, broadband is delivered by using the phone lines, along copper wires. Since these wires were originally developed for voice calls, they're not super efficient at transferring data and for that reason can't attain the fast speeds we see with fibre.
There are two commonly used types of ADSL in the UK, ADSL1 and ADSL2+. ADSL1 is the slower of the two, with maximum speeds of around 8Mbps, while ADSL2+ can achieve speeds of 24Mbps. However, it's worth keeping in mind that with both ADSL types, speeds vary depending on how far you live from the telephone exchange. Additionally, actual speeds are normally much lower than the maximum speeds.
With fibre broadband, data is sent out over clusters of fibre optic cables (each one thinner than a human hair). It uses glass fibres rather than the conventional copper lines used in standard ADSL broadband. Fibre is both exceptionally fast and dependable.
So that's fibre, but what's 'full fibre?'. Some broadband providers deliver fibre services that are known as fibre-to-cabinet (FTTC). This means that the fibre service stops at the street cabinet, and data travels over copper wires the rest of the way (into your home). While this isn't usually a huge issue for most consumers, it can lead to drops in performance if your house is located far from the cabinet.
On the other hand, full-fibre, or fibre-to-premises (FTTP), takes the fibre right into your home.
Typically you'll see FTTC called 'superfast fibre' and FTTP called 'ultrafast fibre'. According to Ofcom, superfast broadband (with speeds over 30mbps), is now accessible to 96% of UK households.
While the gradually increasing fibre coverage is promising, people residing in rural areas may still struggle to find fibre deals.
This is where things can get a little complicated. Cable broadband is still mostly fibre, but with one key difference. Data is sent out via fibre cables to the local exchange cabinet (the same as in FTTC). However, it then uses coaxial cables for the last little stretch into your home. These are the same cables that deliver cable TV and are much faster than copper phone wires.
Cable is more reliable than ADSL, and can support much faster speeds than FTTC and lastly, speeds are not lost with distance. The dominant cable provider in the UK is Virgin Media, although a couple of smaller cable broadband providers are also out there.
Satellite broadband is an alternative method of getting internet in your home without all the wires. With satellite, data is beamed from space to a satellite dish installed on your property, much like with satellite TV. Satellite broadband isn't common in the UK however is a good option for households in extremely rural areas that don't have fixed line broadband infrastructure.
While most people understand that the more the megabits, the quicker the internet connection, many struggle to understand how that relates to their household. So, how many megabits is enough for you?
Generally speaking, if you live alone or with another person and don't do particularly bandwidth-intensive activities, you should be alright with standard broadband (ADSL). When looking for the best broadband deals for standard broadband, you'll generally see average speeds of 10-11Mbps.
Once you get to 3+ people in the home, you can begin to see performance challenges with standard broadband. For instance, you may have three people trying to stream HD video simultaneously while using the internet on their other devices, all from different house areas.
For a home of 3-4 people, fibre packages with speeds of 30-60Mbps are recommended. Many entry-level fibre packages in the UK offer speeds of 35-38Mbps, which will satisfy the requirements of a family this size with typical internet use. But obviously, you can go with speeds closer to 60Mbps if you have a gamer among you or just to be on the safe side.
If you have a larger than average family (5+) or a number of online gamers under your roof, then you'll want to look for broadband deals with speeds of 60-100Mbps. For the vast majority of homes in this category, speeds in the range of 60-70Mbps will be ample, so don't think you need to strive for that magic 100 number.
Broadband contracts are usually 12, 18, or 24 months, and generally speaking, the longer you're prepared to commit, the less expensive the monthly rate.
Alternatively, some broadband providers use short-term or rolling broadband contracts for people renting for short periods of time or working away from home temporarily. These contracts normally work on a month by month basis and can be cancelled at short notice. However, these contracts are normally more expensive because you're paying for the privilege of cancelling whenever you want.
The best time to switch broadband providers is at the end of your existing contract. Nevertheless, if you want to switch early, you'll more than likely have to pay an exit charge, so it's only worth it if your cost savings or performance improvement are significant.
The only other circumstance where you can guarantee no penalties for cancelling a continuous broadband contract is when your provider fails to satisfy their contract's promised terms. For example, if you're getting broadband speeds far below what they quoted for your location.
How do I check my broadband speed in Croydon?
How can I find better broadband deals in Croydon?
Will I get the advertised speeds in Croydon?
Maybe, however not necessarily. Lots of broadband contracts contain small print saying that the advertised speed isn't guaranteed or warning you that certain factors might impact it (like distance from the telephone exchange).
In May 2018, the rules around broadband speed advertising were changed to promote more transparent (and less misleading) information around broadband speeds. Basically, today, broadband providers are only allowed to advertise the average speed of their service rather than a top speed only available to a handful of households. This was a move in the right direction and means that most customers experience speeds near to those advertised.

RAA calls for a review of road user charges
Tuesday, 14th May 2019
RAA is urging the next federal government to review road user charges after revealing families with two cars are paying more than $1000 a year in fuel excise while electric car owners pay none.
Electric vehicles have been a hot topic during the federal election campaign and RAA is calling on the party which forms the next national government to review road charges to replace the fuel excise.
RAA Senior Manager Future Mobility Mark Borlace said an increase in electric vehicles would impact on the revenue raised by the federal fuel excise, currently charged at 41.6c a litre.
"As part of its pre-election priorities, RAA is urging the next federal government to investigate replacing the fuel excise with a more equitable road user charge,'' Mr Borlace said.
"RAA estimates South Australians pay almost $1 billion a year in fuel excise, but those who drive an electric car aren't contributing to this revenue, even though they are also using the roads
"That's why RAA is calling for the next federal government to create a scheme to ensure owners and operators of all vehicles continue to contribute to maintaining and upgrading the road network to maximise its quality, safety and efficiency in the future.
"The government needs to explore ways to fairly share the burden of maintaining and improving the road network as the use of electric cars becomes more prevalent and conventional vehicles become more fuel efficient.''
Mr Borlace said that RAA would be happy to work with the Australian Automobile Association and the government to explore a fairer way of funding the road network.
"RAA supports the use of electric cars as a way to reduce pollution levels," he said.
"RAA also supports government incentives that increase the uptake of electric vehicles where their use has a proven environmental benefit and do not come at the expense of other road users."
According to RAA calculations, a family with both a sedan and medium sized SUV, each travelling 12,000 kilometres a year, would pay over $1000 annually in total fuel excise.
In contrast, a family with electric vehicles would pay no fuel excise.
It is estimated that electric vehicles will account for 28 per cent of new car purchases by 2030, according to evidence presented to the Senate select committee on electric vehicles by independent research body Bloomberg NF in August last year.

Looking back on 30 years of Summit Daily publishers
Jim Pavelich
Publisher 1989-1993
(Not pictured)
One of the most remarkable efforts was accomplished by the Summit Daily management team and our production manager, Doug Bart: In 1995, this group coordinated the move of a 10-unit King Press from Avon (our previous printing facility) to Frisco (the previous Summit Daily building) in one day and did not miss a publishing cycle.
Ghosts of newsrooms past
In the early 1990s, those running the Summit Daily were all younger than 30. With most just out of college, the office environment was slightly provocative. With a group of bright, fearless and energetic staffers, the fun and pranks of those days gone by would make our HR department cringe today. Yet this group built the Summit Daily with a spirit and adventure that has matured into an important community asset.
I'm extremely proud and blessed to have had an opportunity to endeavor in work I love in a place I love. My family has been calling this "God's country" for more than 50 years.
Brown is now president and chief operating officer of Swift Communications and lives in Edwards.
Michael Bennett
We received a call from a bartender from a restaurant in Breckenridge complaining that if the Occupational Safety and Health Administration managed restaurants like they do other industries, his restaurant would be fined for health damages caused by secondhand smoking. I believe I wrote a column, and we pushed for a smoking ban in Summit County. It was put on the ballot and passed by about a two-thirds vote, making us one of the earliest counties in the state to go smokeless in our restaurants. I remember having some really pissed off owners who, I would imagine, are happy in retrospect with the position we took.
In the early stages of internet publishing, so many publishers and editors did not want to post stories until the newspaper was printed and on the street for fear that a radio station would "scoop" us. Somehow, they just didn't understand that the website was us. It took too many years for the industry to figure that out.
The sense of community in Summit County was far greater than anywhere else I've ever lived. During my time at the Summit Daily, I learned that being a publisher was a privilege. The fulfillment received from helping improve and bring a community together was like none other. Heck, I probably would still be living in Farmers Korner if my wife was able to handle the long winters.
Bennett is now retired and living in Bordentown, New Jersey.
Jim Morgan
Brad Odekirk was a beloved photographer, beloved by his colleagues and by the community. He died at 41 in a fall at his condo in August 2006, one of those inexplicable and tragic events. Since 1994, his award-winning photographs had chronicled life in Summit County and Colorado's High Country. There was an incredible outpouring following his death. Letters and columns flooded the newspaper. It was decided to put together a retrospective of his work to publish the weekend of his memorial. It spawned the idea of a coffee table book of his work, titled "Summit Seasons," with photos chosen and edited by his colleagues. Sales of the book as well as donations to a memorial fund (and later a charity golf tournament) were used to establish the Brad Odekirk scholarship, which is given annually to two graduating Summit High School students. To date, more than $35,000 in scholarships and donations have been paid from the fund, which is administered by The Summit Foundation.
Other than the old building — drafty, leaky, cold in the winter, hot in the summer, with worn spots where dogs had staked out their territory — life at the daily newspaper with the continual press of deadlines hasn't changed all that much. It remains a quirky place with quirky people, which makes it a great place to work.
My years with Swift Communications, until I retired as general manager of Colorado Mountain News Media in summer 2018, are easily the best of a four-decade career. Notwithstanding Colorado's High Country is one of the most beautiful places in the world and a wonderful place to call home, it is the people, especially those with whom I worked daily, who made it a remarkable and fulfilling place to practice the business of journalism. The professional and personal friendships resulting from those years are what make a life rich and full. I feel blessed to have been a part of it.
Morgan now owns consulting company Passage Creek and lives in southwest Virginia.
Matt Sandberg
Publisher 2010 to 2016
Meg Boyer
Publisher 2016-present
We do important work every day, but I'm especially proud of the in-depth work we've done in the past few years. In 2017, we produced Whiteout, a look at skier deaths over the past 10 years in Summit County and across Colorado. While inherently a risky sport, we questioned why there wasn't more transparency and regulation like there is in other similarly risky industries. Our newsroom did our readers a great service by asking hard questions and digging for information that isn't readily available.
In 2018, we produced The Longevity Project, a look at why Summit County has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the country and what it takes to live a long, fulfilling life here. It proved to be an educational and entertaining project, and one we'll kick off again in a few weeks. We've covered other tough topics in depth like affordable housing, sexual assault and mental health.
In recent years, journalism has come under attack in a way I didn't experience in my first years in the business. The #fakenews movement has journalists the world over defending the work we do. While at times frustrating and disheartening, it reinforces for me that journalism has never been more important.
To say that I'm proud to be the publisher of this organization would be a profound understatement. The Summit Daily serves a critical role in our community. We are the best local news source for Summit County. We give a voice to the underserved and underrepresented. We hold public officials accountable. We help small businesses grow. We host forums for healthy and necessary debate and conversations. We document history as it's happening. Community journalism matters, and the Summit Daily matters.
Boyer remains the publisher of the Summit Daily and lives in Silverthorne.

"On Top of the World" was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, performed in English by Edsilia Rombley. The song was written by Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Maarten ten Hove and Martin Gijzemijter. It was originally entitled "Nooit Meer Zonder Jou" ("Never Again Without You") and had a lyric in Dutch, however the English version was preferred for the Contest.
The song is an up-tempo, RnB-inspired number. Rombley begins by telling her lover that she has been "trying to let you go", but finds this impossible. She wonders whether they are "making the same mistake", but decides to give him another chance on the condition that he promises never to break her heart again.

Gold Star Mom Hilaria Hannon, receives a bouquet of flowers from family friend Tony Barragan during a Memorial Day Ceremony at the Mojave Cemetery. Hannon's son, Marine Pfc. Fernando Hannon, 19, was killed in an explosion in Al Anbar Province in Iraq in 2004 while serving as a rifleman with the 1st Marine Division. Fernando was the fifth generation of his family to serve in the U.S. military.
Mojave is a small town but when it comes to honoring veterans, their heart is huge.
Guests gathered in the Mojave cemetery were more than 450 veterans are interned.
"It is daunting to consider the tremendous sacrifices our veterans and their families have made — how can we possibly say thank you?" remarked Nash.
She encouraged guests to contact local representatives and voice their support for legislation that increases veteran's access to housing, healthcare, education and employment. Also, supporting caregivers, giving rides to medical appointments, volunteering at veteran's events, and companionship, are all practical ways of honoring veterans, explained Nash.
Mojave Queen, Courtney Woodruff, 19, chats with World War II Veteran Noel Dees, 97 during a Memorial ceremony in Mojave. Community queens placed more than 450 flags the day before the event.
With the help of Leon Ryder and Ken Kendall, Gold Star Mom Hilaria Hannon laid a wreath at the "Battlefield Cross" to honor all those who lost their lives serving.
Mrs. Hannon lost her son, Marine Pfc. Fernando Hannon, 19, in 2004 during an explosion in Al Anbar Province in Iraq while serving as a rifleman with the 1st Marine Division. Fernando was the fifth generation of his family to serve in the U.S. military.
Mojave Air and Space Port Airport Operation Director John Himes was the keynote speaker for the event. He served three years enlisted in the Army Reserves and nine in the U.S. Navy as a helicopter aviation warfare systems operator. Other duties included 16 years as an officer in the Air Force. "Freedom takes willingness to serve, to sacrifice," said Himes.
Pastor Charles Lowery offered the invocation, and Ken and Sally Kendall explained the POW/MIA Remembrance Table.
The event concluded with cookies and a flyover by retired Marine Robert Stambovsky in a T-34.

Q: Have trouble understanding nested scope in AngularJs I got confused when reading the article from this site (pitfall #5):
http://thenittygritty.co/angularjs-pitfalls-using-scopes
http://jimhoskins.com/2012/12/14/nested-scopes-in-angularjs.html
My question is:

*

*is this scenario pretty much like two variables with the same name in plain js, one defined locally (e.g. within a nested function) and one defined globally (e.g. windows.onload), so the local one always override the global one?

*I kinda understand that $scope.variable should reference a model which contains values but it doesn't really impact the outcome if they have the same name regardless of having the dot syntax. I don't understand if putting a "." dot would result in a difference in the OUTPUT VALUE above. For example, replacing them with {{user.name}}. How does this best practice work?
The following code from the site is trying to demostrate if the 2nd {{username}} changes, the 1st {{username}} will not change.
Html:
Outside Controller: Your name is: {{username}}

    Inside Controller: Your name is: {{username}}
    <fieldset legend="User details">
    <input ng-model="username" />
    </fieldset>

JS:
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller('SignupController', function($scope){});

A: It works like prototypal inheritance in JavaScript.
function Jedi(){}
Jedi.prototype.name = 'Luke';

Now, if you do this:
var obiwan = new Jedi();
console.log(obiwan.name); //Luke

However if I do this:
var obiwan = new Jedi();
obiwan.name = 'Obi-wan';
console.log(obiwan.name); //Obi-wan

var luke= new Jedi();
console.log(luke.name); //Luke

This is the way JavaScript resolve properties. When reading a property,  it first look it up in the object, if not found, it looks it up in its prototype, if not found it looks it up in its prototype's prototype and so on, until it reaches the top of the prototype chain (if not found).
However, when writing a property, if the object does not already have the given field, it is created and from that moment on, as per the search criteria explained above, the value that you get when reading is that directly in the object, and not in its prototype.
A solution suggested in angular is to store model data not directly as fields in the scope, but as objects, to avoid this behavior. For instance:
function Jedi()
Jedi.protype.data = {name: 'Luke'};

var obiwan = new Jedi();
obiwan.data.name = 'Obi-wan';

var luke= new Jedi();
console.log(luke.data.name); //Obi-wan

This time the field under prototypal inheritance is data, and so all objects share it.

Q: Why below C code fails while compilation I have a C code ,which uses simple comma operators
main()
{
int a= 1,2,3;
printf("%d",a);
}

Now when i compile got an error while same program with little modification runs fine
main()
{
int a;
    a= 1,2,3;
    printf("%d",a);
}

Why is it so?

A: In the first case, the error is raised because the compiler is not able to differentiate if you pretend to declare several variables or assign several values.
int a= 1,2,3;

Did you mean int a; a = 1, 2, 3, or int a = 1, int 2, int 3? Compiler cannot tell from context (even if 2 or 3 are not legal variable names).
This ambiguity does not exist in the second case, hence no error (but warnings issued anyway).
PS: it's int main() not void main().

A: When using variable initialization form, the comma does not act as the same operator. It is a special short-hand form for declaring multiple variables on the same line and thus requires its own syntax.
Thus in the statement int a = 1, 2, 3, the comma is actually being interpreted differently than in the statement a = 1, 2, 3.
The former is a syntax error because it doesn't meet the multiple variable declaration form. The second is valid syntax, but as others have pointed out is rather pointless because the statements 2; and 3; while syntactically correct, do nothing.
