FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (Jan. 16, 2018) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy men's basketball team lost its Skyline Conference contest at Farmingdale State, 82-64, on Tuesday night at the Rams' Walter A. Lynch Sports Center. With the setback, the Mariners' record falls to 6-8 (4-6 Skyline), while FSC improves to 10-4 (8-2 Skyline).
For the second-straight game (and third in the past four), freshman James Walsh (Huntington, N.Y.) recorded a 20-point contest, as he drained a game-high 25, thanks in part to five three-pointers, while also bringing down a team-best six rebounds and tying for the team-high with three assists. Classmate Seth Barnes (Chillicothe, Ohio) chipped in with 10 points and senior Christian Wittendorf (Granger, Ind.) added eight. Off the bench, freshman Jesse Neloms (Memphis, Tenn.) contributed six points and three assists .
The Mariners scored the first points of the game on a three by Barnes and then later led 4-2 for over two minutes until Farmingdale pulled ahead, 5-4, with their own three at 16:11. The advantage quickly increased to double-digits after a 13-0 run ended with the Rams up, 15-4, at 13:11. The hosts' lead only fell under double-digits once more, on the Mariners' next basket, but then remained in double-figures the remainder of the game, hitting as high as 30 points at 6:05 of the second half.
Four of Farmingdale's five starters scored in double-digits with junior Matthew Graham leading the way with 12 points. Sophomore Troy Feeney added 11 points and junior George Riefenstahl and senior Liam Monaghan both had 10 points apiece. Feeney and sophomore Jermaine Fraser both pulled down a game-high seven rebounds each. Riefenstahl also led all players with four assists.
Merchant Marine returns to the hardwood this Sunday, Jan. 21, when they travel to Brooklyn to face Skyline opponent St. Joseph's College-Brooklyn. Tipoff against the Bears is scheduled for 2 p.m. at SJC's Hill Center. Live stats and a live video feed of the contest will be available with links on the USMMA Men's Basketball Schedule Page.

Q: redirect main domain to subdomain manually select by visitor I have two wordpress website. One installed in main domain and another one installed in sub-domain under main domain. I'm doing this to manage 2 different language. I know there are so many plugins to manage multi language in site. But I have to do this manually.
But now i need to done a small job. I want to show a notification when any visitor will visit my main site for the 1st time. There I'll give 2 Language option to choose.
Option-1 Language English for main domain. (example.com)
Option-2 Language Spanish for Sub domain. (sp.example.com)

When visitor will select Option-1 he will stay in main site(domain). If he select Option-2 then he will be redirected to the another site(sub-domain) and after this it'll happen automatically every time he visits
main site(domain)
. But visitor can manually come back to main domain from sub-domain.
Any solution will be highly appreciated. Thanks

A: We can do this job by Cookie. I am assuming that your default landing domain is English one.
In functions.php of English domain write following code
add_action('init','is_new_visitor');
$is_new_visitor = false;
function is_new_visitor(){
    check_new_visitor();
    set_new_visitor();
}

function check_new_visitor(){
  global $is_new_visitor;

  //check if cookie set
  if(isset($_COOKIE['new_visitor_lang']) &&
    in_array($_COOKIE['new_visitor_lang'],array('en','sp'))){

       $lang = $_COOKIE['new_visitor_lang'];  // get cookie value

       //if language is spanish then redirect user to spanish site
       if($lang=="sp"){
            wp_redirect('spanish lang domain');
            exit;
       }

  }else{

      //set global variable to true if it is new visitor
      $is_new_visitor = true;
  }
}

function set_new_visitor(){

   // check the get param and redirect user to selected domain
   if(isset($_GET['lang']) && in_array($_GET['lang'],array('en','sp'))){
         setcookie( "new_visitor_lang", $_GET['lang'], time() + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) );
          if($lang=="sp"){
            wp_redirect('spanish lang domain');
            exit;
       }
   }
}

Now where you have to show the links, add following code (Some where in header.php)
global $is_new_visitor;
if($is_new_visitor){

    echo  'English';
    echo  'Spanish';
}

A: Assuming you already have a pop up asking which version they want to see, and two buttons, or links, to take them to the appropriate site... you can use jQuery or plain JavaScript:
jQuery( document ).ready( function() {
    var $days = 30;
    var $date = new Date();
    $date.setTime($date.getTime() + ($days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
    var $expires = "; expires=" + $date.toGMTString() + '; path=/';
    jQuery( '#id_of_english_button' )
        .click( function( event ) {
            document.cookie = 'language=english' + $expires;
        });
    jQuery( '#id_of_spanish_button' )
        .click( function( event ) {
            document.cookie = 'language=spanish' + $expires;
        });
});

Then you'll have a PHP cookie variable you can work with: $_COOKIE['language']
Use what DarkBee had said in his comment, and do a header('location : sub.domain.com'); to send people to the sub domain if their cookie equals 'spanish'.

A:    /*this code write on your main site and the user will
         automatically redirect to the subdomain  */
      if(!isset($_SESSION['lang'])
    {
    $_SESSION['lang']='visitor selected language';
    }

    if($_SESSION['lang']=="Option-2")
     {
   header("Location:url");
     }

Bitcoin's Smallest Unit 'Satoshi' Added to Oxford English Dictionary
By cinerama October 15, 2019 Bitcoin Business
Click here to view original web page at news.bitcoin.com
Oxford University Press published its recent quarterly report which revealed the term 'satoshi' was added to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) database. The word represents the "smallest monetary unit in the Bitcoin digital payment system," according to the definition.

Satoshi, the Smallest Unit in Bitcoin, Added to the Oxford Dictionary
Digital currencies continue to gain mainstream acceptance and the ecosystem's associated words and terminology have been incorporated into our everyday lives. Oxford University Press recently published its October 2019 update which added a string of new words to the OED database. Words like "Chillax," "Whatevs," "Manhattanhenge," and "Ambarvalia" made it into the OED's library of terms. Cryptocurrency supporters have noticed the word "satoshi" has been added to the Oxford dictionary as well. The OED database defines the term satoshi as: "The smallest monetary unit in the Bitcoin digital payment system, equal to one hundred millionth of a bitcoin."
Bitcoin's divisibility was decided by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and each bitcoin is equal to 100 million satoshis. Then in 2010, an individual called Ribuck proposed that one-hundredth of a bitcoin should be called a satoshi in honor of its creator, but a few months later he changed this proposal to the one hundred millionth unit. Since then, the word has caught on with the community and people use the word often and pluralized while also shortening it to sat or sats.
For years, digital currency enthusiasts have tried to attach a symbol to the unit 'satoshi' but no design has become widely adopted yet. Although a few people in the crypto community have used an S-like symbol to represent the smallest unit. The OED database also uses an example sentence with the word Satoshi which reads:
There are talks on colored coins, which is nothing but an implementation of Ripple on top of Bitcoin, using satoshis.
Named After the Pseudonymous Developer of Bitcoin
Oxford's recent addition follows a number of other terms used within the cryptoconomy like "Miner," "Bitcoin," "Blockchain," and "Cryptocurrency." The word Bitcoin was added to the OED in 2014 and it defines the term as: "A type of digital currency in which a record of transactions is maintained and new units of currency are generated by the computational solution of mathematical problems, and which operates independently of a central bank." Investopedia called Bitcoin the "2017 Term of the Year" and the word was also the second most Googled word that year. The word 'satoshi' does trend very well on Google at specific times, but only when it applies to the Bitcoin inventor's monicker, not the smallest unit of currency.
The OED announcement takes note of the sat's origins, writing that the smallest monetary unit "is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the—probably pseudonymous—developer(s) of Bitcoin."

IMAGINE strawberries that stay fresh for 2 or 3 weeks, pork that doesn't need extra long cooking, chicken, shrimp, and vacuum-packed meat that can be kept outside the refrigerator for six to eight years. These are some of the promises of food zapped with radiation to preserve freshness, to kill insects and bacteria, a process that could become as common as canning, freezing, or microwaving by the year 2000, according to Prof. Richard Matthews of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
But this rosy view is not unanimous.
Last month when a supermarket in North Miami, Fla., offered Puerto Rican mangoes that had been treated with gamma rays, it set off questions and controversy.
Although exposing some fruits and vegetables to low doses of radiation was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April, the process has been used mainly for spices and seasonings, until the recent sale of the irradiated mangoes.
Matthews cautioned that once exposed to these low doses of radiation, foods must still be refrigerated or handled like regular foods not treated with radiation.
It was more than 20 years ago that the FDA approved the radiation treatment of wheat, wheat flour, and potatoes. Dried spices and pork were given the OK in the 1980s. Other countries around the world have been selling some irradiated foods for years, but so far there has not been much available in the United States.
The major consumers of irradiated foods have been servicemen and astronauts on NASA's space shuttle, which has no refrigeration or cooking facilities.
Vacuum-sealed, irradiated steak, which could last two to three years, as well as irradiated rye bread, rolls, and other foods have been served aloft. Other consumers include hospital patients diagnosed as having low resistance to infection.
Overall, the commercial development of the food-irradiation process has been slow. But this is nothing new. American consumers have frequently been hesitant about accepting new food techniques.
It took more than 50 years for the canning process to become fully accepted and years for people to become accustomed to frozen foods.
``Irradiated foods are probably not going to make a big hit with most people right away,'' says Dr. Matthews.
Radiation is a scary word. The public winces at the thought of eating anything treated with radiation, even though scientists say there's no radioactivity created in food from the process.
Because it will extend the shelf life of certain foods, the new ruling is seen by some as a great service to consumers. Others, however, consider the practice of irradiating foods to be expensive, unsafe, and unneeded.
In spite of the FDA's approval, the process until now has been used mostly to preserve herbs and spices. But recently.
When irradiated mangoes appeared in Laurenzo's Farmer's Market in Miami Beach, owner David Laurenzo explained that fruits such as mangoes and papayas have been difficult to find in the US.
``The radiation penetrates through the food and its packaging so that all portions are treated. No residues remain,'' Mr. Giddings says. ``There is essentially no temperature rise in the food. Frozen frogs legs and shrimp will not thaw while being decontaminated.
``The molecular changes that occur in foods at the FDA-approved one-kiloGray level are minimal: less than those that occur when foods are cooked or canned. The change of color and flavor of various spices are less than from fumigation, '' he says.
``The other day I opened a package of ham that was 14 years old and ate it on camera,'' Giddings says. ``It was delicious. I am convinced that it won't be long before products such as meat will last for many years with no need of refrigeration.
``The containers will be vacuum-packed and the food sterilized. And there will probably be more technological advances. It might soon be possible to preserve bacon, for example, without the use of additives known to have an association with cancer.
Twenty nations have approved the use of irradiation of foods, some up to the 10 kiloGray level, on products such as frozen shrimp, frog legs, chicken, papaya, mangoes, strawberries, dates, onions, potatoes, bananas and rice.
Critics object, among other things, to the labelling of irradiated foods. They question the safety of the food when eaten and they say the benefits of of the process have been exaggerated.
``The consumer is not going to be able to tell whether a food is irradiated or not,'' says Ellen Haas of the Public Citizen Health Research Group in Washington, D.C. ``Although labelling is required now, in two years only a stylized flower logo will be necessary.
``Fruits and vegetables haven't been labelled in the past as to nutrient value,'' she says, ``so it will be doubly hard to figure out a way to give information about irradiation for produce.
The question of nutrient loss is another point of controversy.
``There have to be significant losses of food value,'' says Ms. Haas, quoting a test that showed that Temple oranges lost 28 percent of their Vitamin C through being irradiated.
``People may buy fresh foods that have been irradiated and later freeze them at home, which would result in multiple loss of nutrients,'' she says. Food loses nutrients every time it is processed, whether in canning, freezing, or cooking.
``We're not saying it is a hazard, but that the government has not done enough testing. The benefits are exaggerated. I think the government is moving too quickly,'' she says.
Merle Eiss, information systems manager at the McCormick Spice Company, says nutritional quality is not a big problem with herbs and spices.
Some objectors are worried about the changes in the balance of food chemistry caused by the altered compounds which radiation produces.
``These changes are not ones a consumer can recognize, because the appearance of the food remains the same -- it still looks fresh. This can be very dangerous,'' says Irving Rothstein of the Coalition to Stop Food Irradiation, in San Francisco.
``We don't like the idea that the cesium 137 is a reprocessed waste product from the US Department of Energy's nuclear weapons program,'' he says.
In addition to food preservation, irradiation has several industrial applications. Other than sterilizing medical supplies, it is used used to treat the insulation on wire and cable, to cross-link plastic food wrap, and to vulcanize sheet rubber. A proposed use is to disinfect sewage sludge.
At least 10 different agencies, including the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association, have concluded that irradiated foods pose no risk to consumers.
The US Institute of Food Technologists, for which Dr. Matthews is the spokesman, is conducting a public education campaign on the process.
Contaminated spices? FDA claims imported spices have double salmonella risk.

Barcelona, the capital city of Spain's Catalonia region, is a vibrant city, with both a historic and modern feel. And is a perfect place to sit still, as well as to keep your feet in constant motion, no matter what time of year. With a sun that shines over traditional cafes, world-class museums, and Gothic architecture, you are sure to move through the streets with a sense of awe.
In no particular order, here's our list of 10 things to do in Barcelona, beyond the ordinary.
Without question, the most famous of all churches and attractions in Barcelona is La Sagrada Familia. Sagrada Familia is an ever-changing, towering Gaudi-designed magnificence over a city full of his whimsical creations.
After initial construction in 1882, Antoni Gaudi himself took over this architectural endeavor in 1883, well-knowing that it would never be completed in his lifetime. Located between the T Marti and Gracia districts, La Sagrada Familia is easily accessible via short taxi rides from the heart of the city, and for those who want to avoid the crowds, inexpensive skip-the-line tickets are available year-round.
For fans of modern art, the Joan Miro Museum is not to be missed while visiting Barcelona. Grab a multi-lingual audio guide and meander through a personal tour of his most recognizable pieces, including more than 200 paintings and over 8,000 drawings.
Located just minutes from the Olympic Stadium, the white-washed, winding interior leads you through Miro's famous works and sculptures, as well as a fascinating fountain that continuously flows with mercury (behind a glass partition, of course). After strolling through the halls, make your way to the open-air roof of the structure to find a landscape of his surrealistic statues. Though photography is restricted inside, feel free to take a few pictures outside next to your favorite sculpture.
Located on Montjuic Mountain, the Barcelona Olympic Stadium stands as a look back at Barcelona's hosting of the 1992 Olympic Summer Games, as well as an homage to the culture and depth of Barcelona. From one of the best views of the city, take a guided tour where Gold Medals were won and history was made.
Today, the complex hosts not only the original stadium that was built for the International Expo of 1929, but also the swimming complexes and numerous artistic spires built in celebration of the city's accomplishment in the hosting of the games in 1992. One of the most peaceful and serene locations in Barcelona, you can close your eyes and still hear the firing of starting guns and roars from the crowd.
Called the Museu Nacional Art Contemporani (or, "MNAC") in Barcelona, this impressive, grand museum is one of the most popular in the city that celebrates modern Barcelona's artistic accomplishments. On one of the grandest stages in all of the city, sitting high above the parks of Montjuic, the MNAC opens its gates for free on Sundays and includes one of the most stunning views in all of Barcelona.
On weekends, tourists, locals, and vendors alike flock to this scenic property, including the massive fountain adorning its façade, to take in the food, art, and architecture of the setting. Not all the art is modern, however, as much of the collection is still dedicated to Barcelona's past, that is equal parts Gothic, Roman, and Renaissance.
Mount Tibidabo, at more than 1,600 feet, is the tallest mountain in the Serra de Collserola. For photographers and nature-gazers, this splendid view of a scenic city is breath-taking from the beautiful Sagrat Cor church which adorns its pinnacle.
It's not all about the view from Tibidabo though, as the mountaintop boasts numerous hip bars, tapas restaurants, glamorous shops, as well as child-friendly attractions for daytime amusement.
One of the best, most intimate nights my wife Tracy and I experienced in Barcelona was sipping a sweet local wine on the rooftop of El Cercle (The Circle) restaurant, also centrally located very near Placa Nova. Though chilly up top during our visit, the outside heaters, the low din of the city, and the restaurant's excellent menu filled the night with warmth as we overlooked the quiet streets of the central shopping district. With an accommodating staff and idyllic view looking back toward the city center, it can be the perfect end to a beautiful day. Though the main streets below may move quickly from nine to five, take time to take a breath and a view under the silent Barcelona moon.
Whether staying in Barcelona for one day or one week, we've found the best way to see most of the city is by taking advantage of their ever-popular hop-on hop-off buses. With stops all over town, this service is inexpensive and highly convenient in lieu of taxi cabs, given the sprawling landscape of an ever-growing Barcelona.
For about $37, depending on the vendor, this tour can take you along three different routes all day long, covering locations like La Sagrada Familia, the aforementioned Miro Museum, the streets of Gaudi architecture, and the Gothic Quarter. With 44 pick-up locations and arrival times around the clock spaced just between 10 and 25 minutes, you can stroll at your leisure. Choose a two-day pass if you're going to be in the city long enough to take advantage of the deal.
Though you may not need to buy the fresh catch of the day for your dinner, take time to choose a few local fruits to carry with you, or a freshly made (and delicious) fruit smoothie. With a rolling, jewel-colored rooftop enclosing the large space, Mercat de Santa Caterina is a great repose from the midday Barcelona sun, a perfect place to take in the scents of the city's bounty, and to walk among locals.
At Park Guell, you can get inside the mind and lifestyle of one of Spain's most celebrated geniuses—Antoni Gaudi. The former home of the legendary architect and designer, the mansion-turned-museum now displays what life was like at the turn of the century for the prized Barcelonan.
Along the stretch of road where La Rambla and Placa de Catalunya street meet, there is a quaint and central place to take a seat and watch the people pass by. At the Café Zurich, located just steps away from one of the many hop-on hop-off bus stops, take a long brunch, and enjoy the hustle of the mid-morning local Barcelona residents with a slow meal.
Try an espresso and a plate of delicious mussels, olives, and sardines for a truly local taste experience. Personally, I enjoyed their Estrella Damm beer for a different twist on a breakfast mimosa. With a kick of lemon, the crisp flavor complimented the seafood very well. Eat slowly, no matter the weather, and listen to the city move as you muse.
While there is no shortage of experiences to be had in the beautiful city of Barcelona, take time to make your way around leisurely but with purpose, and have fun. Grab that glass of vino, a plate of local fare, see the art that defines generations found only here, and you'll find yourself at home.

Eight high school students in Texas have been hospitalized after they were forced to do 400 push-ups in an hour without any breaks by the football coach.
Rockwall-Heath High School Head Football Coach, John Harrell, has been put on administrative leave after he reportedly forced students to do 300 to 400 push-ups during an eighth-period athletic class on Friday.
A mother, who did not want to be identified, claimed the football players were forced to do the intense workout without water breaks, according to Fox 4 News.
She said her son was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis – the breakdown of muscle tissue that can release damaging proteins into the bloodstream, which can cause kidney damage or failure.
It is unclear what the other seven students were diagnosed with. None of the players' identities have been released.
Eight football players were hospitalized after being forced to do 300 to 400 push-ups within an hour. Parents claim the students were forced to do the strenuous workout with breaks
Principal Todd Bradford addressed the situation on Monday, writing in a letter to student-athlete parents: 'On Monday, January 9, 2023, several parents reported that their student(s) subsequently needed medical attention, and in some cases, hospitalization. Please know the District immediately implemented measures to address the situation and provide support for our students.'
It also advised parents to inform their students to see the trainer if they experience not being able to 'bend or extend your arms, unable to lift arms above your head, dark urine (tea or cola-colored), and sharp arm pain,' as well as, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, confusion, or lethargy.
'Student safety is a top priority for Rockwall IDS and we will continue to take immediate and appropriate measures in the best interests of our students as we address this situation,' the letter said.
The Dallas-based school has also launched a third-party investigation into the incident and said students who attended the class on Monday did a light, nonstrenuous workout.
Despite the terrifying situation, some of the players defended Harrell and said he was not trying to harm students, but to teach them discipline.

Player Barry Luff, who was at the workout, told Fox 4 News: 'He's treated us with nothing but respect and he loves every single one of us like his own.'
Luff also told WFAA that Harrell was at the hospital 'all night with those boys' to make sure they were okay.
'He would never made us do a workout thinking that it was going to put any of us at risk,' he told the outlet.
His mother also defended the coach, saying she 'would have been the first person up at the principal's office' if she thought something was wrong.
Harrell was promoted to head coach in January 2022 and he has been with the school since 2019.

2.	A container of pure tea tree oil is placed inside the unit also because it's a natural disinfectant and naturally deters bacteria growth.
3.	All carpets, fabric surfaces, and furniture is cleaned with PURE's safe cleaning solution.
4.	They shock the room with their own system so that you're ensured a clean environment and clean breathing air. You won't smell "leftover" odors when you come into a hotel hypoallergenic room.
5.	A special protective layer is administered to all surfaces in the room as a defense against bacteria, mold, and viruses.
6.	Every clean or hypoallergenic hotel room is outfitted with a PURE air purification system.
7.	The bedding is switched out for hypoallergenic fabrics so you'll have peace of mind knowing you're sleeping on a safe surface.
Doesn't this sound wonderful? It's encouraging that many hotels world wide are taking a portion of their budget to transform a few or several of their hotel rooms into clean rooms so that they can market those rooms to people who suffer with severe allergies or who suffer with asthma.
Even people who are chemically sensitive would benefit from staying in a clean hypoallergenic hotel room because there aren't any fragrances or strong smells in one of these rooms.
PURE Solutions is hoping to branch out into schools and businesses with their 7-step process and their technology in order to make even more environments healthy and clean.
Looking for a hotel that has one of these rooms? Visit http://www.pureroom.com/find_a_pure_room to find a room in the area you're planning to visit.
We'd love to hear about your experience if you end up staying in one of these rooms!

What Are Chrome Flags And Should You Use Them?
By Rob Rich/Updated: Feb. 18, 2022 2:02 pm EST
As a web browser, Google Chrome offers a pretty sizable list of ways you can adjust it to your liking – sometimes to its own detriment. But while having too many options can sometimes be overwhelming, there may also be times when you'll want even more control, which is where Google Chrome's flags come in.
Flags in Chrome are essentially experimental advanced options that can do anything from adding in-browser live captions to videos, to isolating cookies, to forcing Chrome to stick with a specific color profile, and a whole lot more. The catch is the "experimental" part, as Chrome itself warns that changing these settings could result in lost browser data, and even compromised security or privacy. So, you know, use at your own discretion.
It's also worth pointing out that, while flags are available for all Chrome users, it might be best to avoid messing around with them if you aren't sure what the effects might be. With that said, you can access the flags menu by typing in chrome://flags/ in place of a web address. From there, you can scroll through the various functions (or search for specifics), and adjust them using a simple pull-down menu on the right side of the page.
User Discretion Is Advised
If, for example, you wanted to do something like speed up your downloads, you could scroll to or search for #enable-parallel-downloading to do just that. You could also use #password-import to allow import functions in Chrome's password settings. Or if you'd like to improve accessibility settings, you could check out #enable-experimental-accessibility-language-detection and have Chrome detect in-page languages to use with a screen reader.
The list is massive enough that, if you're curious about flags, there's bound to be at least a couple of settings that will appeal to you. Whether or not you actually want to use any of these options depends on what you want to get out of Chrome, and how much the potential problems turning on experimental features concern you.
If you'd rather not take any chances, you can simply pretend they aren't there. Otherwise you can dive right in and see what there is to play around with. Chrome will even show you what operating systems (Mac, Chrome, Android, etcetera) a given flag is compatible with.

Q: Assign Kentico smart search index to CMSSearchResults control datasource EDIT: Maybe this will make my question more clear.  I want to do this, but with a CMSSearchResults control and a search index as the DataSource:
// code-in-front
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater" ruant="server"></asp:Repeater>

// code behind
private void BindDataToRepeater()
{
    DataSet ds = PopulateDataSet();

    repStuff.DataSource = ds;
    repStuff.DataBind();
}

I'm trying to implement a custom search user control.  I have a <cms:CMSSearchResults> control in my ascx file like so:
<cms:CMSSearchResults ID="ssIssues" runat="server"></cms:CMSSearchResults>

And in my code behind I'm working on a method that should retrieve a typical custom table smart search index and use the data within the index as the data source for ssIssues.  Here's what I have so far that should give you a rough idea of what I'm wanting to do:
private void BindSearchResults()
{
    SearchIndexInfo si = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo(int searchIndexId);

    // some tweaking to convert si to dataset

    ssIssues.DataSource = si;
    ssIssues.DataBind();
}

However, right off the bat I'm running into some issues and can't seem to find any documentation that will help me understand this part of the search api.
I'm getting the correct SearchIndexInfo object, but it doesn't seem to have any way of accessing the actual data in the index.  Now, my understanding of how search indexes work in kentico is that they analyze a set of data in SQL Server and convert that data into a b-tree that's stored in the filesystem of the webserver in the Kentico project.
So, I was expecting a method in SearchIndexInfo that did something along the lines of parsing that index file and returning the b-tree as a LinkedList<t> or a method that could be provided some arguments to sort the linked list into a DataSet - or at least did the parsing and allowed me to do the converting.  No such luck though, and I'm not sure where to go from here.
How exactly should I be binding a search index DataSet to the CMSSearchResults control?

A: Once you've already started with customization, I'd suggest you to build you own control from scratch, but utilize Kentico search API to get data from search index. Following is a code snippet from Kentico API Examples:
private bool SearchText()
{
    // Get the search index
    SearchIndexInfo index = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("MyNewIndex");

    if (index != null)
    {
        // Prepare parameters
        SearchParameters parameters = new SearchParameters()
        {
            SearchFor = "home",
            SearchSort = SearchHelper.GetSort("##SCORE##"),
            Path = "/%",
            ClassNames = "",
            CurrentCulture = "EN-US",
            DefaultCulture = CultureHelper.DefaultCulture.IetfLanguageTag,
            CombineWithDefaultCulture = false,
            CheckPermissions = false,
            SearchInAttachments = false,
            User = (UserInfo)CMSContext.CurrentUser,
            SearchIndexes = index.IndexName,
            StartingPosition = 0,
            DisplayResults = 100,
            NumberOfProcessedResults = 100,
            NumberOfResults = 0,
            AttachmentWhere = String.Empty,
            AttachmentOrderBy = String.Empty,
        };

        // Search
        DataSet results = SearchHelper.Search(parameters);

        // If found at least one item
        if (parameters.NumberOfResults > 0)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

A$AP Ferg & DJ Premier Hit TRL For "Our Streets" Performance
A$AP Ferg has always been a versatile artist, adapting to all manner production. However, some his best recent material has been over a decidedly old-school vibe, most notably on yesterday's "Family" drop and December's "Our Streets." The latter is particularly special, as it features production from the legendary DJ Premier, who has been keeping that boom-bap, sample-and-scratch-based hip-hop alive for over two decades. If you're a fan that style, be sure to check out both Ferg's latest drops; they're some his strongest tracks in recent memory, and his flow on yesterday's "Family" is something otherworldly.
RELATED: A$AP Ferg Makes Rapping Look Easy On "Family"
Recently, A$AP Ferg and DJ Premier linked up to take their talents to the stage, hitting up MTV's TRL for a performance their collaboration "Our Streets." While the performance marks the first time the song was performed live, it also reveals two artists at the top their game, delivering a raw performance not ten seen on televised stages. With no backing vocal track to be found, Ferg holds it down while Premier navigates the ones and twos, dropping some impressive scratches and ad-libs. Even if you aren't a fan that sonic aesthetic, you don't really have a choice but to respect Primo and his contributions to the culture (PRhyme 2 OTW).
RELATED: A$AP Ferg Reveals He's Working On His Next Studio Album
Afterward, the duo sat down with TRL's hosts to discuss some moments in pop culture, where they proceeded to talk about Kanye and Kim's recently born third baby. Stay tuned for more music from Ferg, who's currently working on a new album; hopefully he decides to link up with Primo once again.

Apple MacBooks with M1: Want a high-end model? You'll have to wait 'til after Christmas
By Kimberly Gedeon 03 December 2020
Custom M1 Apple MacBooks have 2021 delivery dates
Apple MacBook Pro m1 chip (Image credit: Apple)
The Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M1 chips may not arrive in time before Christmas — and depending on the configuration you order, some models will not be delivered until 2021.
Most custom configurations of M1-equipped MacBooks with upgraded storage and RAM were pushed to January 2021 delivery dates, according to Apple Insider. If you want a MacBook with an M1 chip to arrive before Christmas, you'll have to settle for a non-custom model.
Upcoming MacBook Pro with M1 could get this huge upgrade
MacBook Air with M1 review: A near-perfect laptop
MacBook Air with M1 chip is beastly — it smokes the 16-inch MacBook Pro (leaks)
Most custom MacBook M1 models won't be delivered 'til 2021
All standard, non-custom configurations of the M1-equipped MacBook Air and MacBook Pro will arrive in December. As of Dec. 3, the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with 256GB of storage will be delivered sometime between Dec. 11 and Dec. 18. The 512GB MacBook Pro will be delivered within the same time frame.
The $1,249 MacBook Air with 512GB of storage will arrive in December, but not before Christmas — it has a delivery date of Dec. 28.
Custom M1-equipped MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models will also arrive after Christmas. The earliest delivery date is Dec. 28 while the latest is Jan. 27. For example, the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro configured with an 8-Core CPU and GPU, 16GB of RAM and 2TB of storage won't arrive until Jan. 27.
If you've been planning to gift someone a custom M1-equipped MacBook for Christmas, it won't arrive in time. Your best bet is to order one of the four standard, non-custom models (save for the 512GB MacBook Air) if you want it delivered before the national holiday.
The M1-equipped MacBooks are beastly machines — our review of the MacBook Air with the M1 chip gave us a taste of Apple Silicon's herculean power. Whether you receive your M1 MacBook in December or January, you'll surely be a satisfied customer.

PUTTING TOGETHER THE PLANS for an expedition into a remote wilderness area, where small mistakes in planning could lead to real survival risks, got me to thinking how the great Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton must have felt as he planned his 1,500-mile hike to the South Pole. Well, I do know that most of the Antarctic explorers made it back safely, and they did not have modern snow machines or an experienced Alaskan trapper along on their adventure. So I was sure I had nothing to fear.
I had arrived at Brad's cabin in early October, with two new snow machines and a lot of trapping equipment. Our plan was to use Brad's 10-man squad tent as our base camp at Kaina Lake. So I thought it might be a good idea for me to live in the tent prior to our mountain trapping adventure, just to make sure there would be no surprises related to its ability to protect us against the 40- and 50-below temperatures. We would be relying on this tent for shelter during our several weeks' stay at Kaina Lake. So for the next month I would call this tent my home as the temperatures steadily dropped from lows of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, to zero and below.
I had experienced several first-time moments already during my first few weeks living with Brad. He'd prepared us meals of delicious grizzly bear roast and steaks from a fresh-killed caribou. Now, with trapping season fast approaching, I was looking forward to adding lynx to my list of wild Alaskan meats I had eaten. Brad told me it tastes just like fine pork. Well, at least that is a switch; he did not say it tastes just like chicken!
Brad took me on a 10-mile hike on one of his trap lines near his cabin. I had the distinct feeling that the hike was probably more to check out my stamina and ability to withstand the rigors we would be facing during our upcoming Kaina Lake adventure. I am sure he must have been more than a little apprehensive as to whether a 66-year-old Michigan trapper could handle the extremes of a high-mountain, deep-snow trap line. Brad carried his Marlin .444 just in case we saw a caribou. We did not see any caribou on this hike, but we did see an old grizzly den site. Fortunately, no grizzly bear was at home on this day.

The pristine river is uniquely home to all five Pacific Salmon species along with native stream fish such as Rainbow trout, Artic Grayling and Dolly Varden/Char, with four or five salmon species spawning within two miles below and 45 miles above the lodge. The region is also home to a diverse array of wildlife, which provides amazing photo opportunities.
An experienced guide staff personalizes each guest experience, making use of the lodge's thirty boats to explore the full range of the Alagnak. Our river-based lodge is only ten minutes away from tidewater. Its diverse fleet of both jet and prop boats allows for both sea fresh salmon and rainbow trout fishing, while the lodge's floatplane enables easy access to Katmai National Park for viewing the renowned Brooks Falls brown bears and for fishing the area's many blue ribbon trout streams. When off the water, anglers are encouraged to enjoy the unrivaled amenities of Katmai Lodge, which boasts more square footage per guest than any other lodge in Alaska. World-class chefs prepare hearty breakfasts and gourmet dinners in the central dining room. The main lodge includes a fully stocked fly-tying area complete with expert instruction, central gathering place, a clothing and gift shop as well as internet access. Adjacent guest cabins welcome anglers to rest and relax, offering the privacy of individual common areas. The high season for Alaskan salmon fishing at Katmai's Lodge runs from late June through September, with trout season opening June 8th. Booking has already begun for 2014. For reservations or to inquire about group packages, anglers should visit the newly launched website at www.katmai.com or call 1-800-330-0326 for more information.
The motley crew on the boat consists of four anglers, including me. Chris Cox and Paul Ferreira both sit close to the bow of the boat, and Ron Ely takes a seat beside me at the steering console. All of them are accomplished anglers and veterans of the Clearwater.
We are armed with fly rods with weight sizes ranging from 4 to 6. Our fly boxes are full of an assortment of dry fly patterns in different sizes, including Adams, midges, and ants. However, it's been our experience that the dry fly of choice for this watershed is a large 14 or 12 blue dunn. I suggest the bigger the better. They seem to perfectly imitate a mayfly hatch that occurs during this time of the year and are irresistible for the active grayling.
Chris and Paul watch with intensity as they survey the clear, blue water out in front of the moving vessel. They are looking for groups of fish sitting deep in the holes as we skim the surface. We only get about a ½-mile away from the boat ramp when Chris yells out "Slow down!" He spotted a large group of fish as we went over the top of them. By the time I throttle down the boat the area he had seen the fish at is already about half a football field behind us.
I think about turning around in the narrow river for only a moment, but decide to press on forward. This is the Clearwater, after all, and the river is jammed-packed full of Arctic grayling. It does not take long to get going again and round the next turn to find the water in front of us boiling with active fish. A great stretch of river approximately 200 yards long, perfect for the four of us have room without having to be right on top of each other.
Upon all of us seeing the rising hoard I quickly slow down and angle the boat over to a high cut bank and tie off. All of us disembark simultaneously looking for a place to spread out and start casting. The spring-fed river runs very cold, so all of us are wearing a good warm layer under our waders. Not only is the water frigid, but the current is deceptive, thanks to the crystal-clear clarity of the water. The quick rate of flow is noticeable even at knee-deep depths, and it's easy to lose your footing.
First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone gets to enjoy some turkey -or whatever holiday meal you traditionally enjoy- and some football, today.
CC Tell me how buying the lodge came about.
TM I think it was in 1997; my brother, Michael, my friends, Mike Overcast and Victor Duncan, and I did a hunting trip on this remote river way up in Skwenta in the Central Alaska Range. We did some Dall sheep hunting and some caribou hunting. And we flew to this river and were dropped in the boonies for like 10 days. We floated down the river for about 80 miles. We looked at the mountain ranges and thought 'Wow, that looks like it would be good skiing.' We came around the corner and kept looking at these huge glaciers and steep mountains. We told ourselves we needed to come back and ski this. The next year we pulled together some resources.
We all pitched in a couple thousand dollars, rented a helicopter and flew out there. We found this lodge we could base out of, we pioneered some of the ski terrain, we flew to the rivers and checked out the fishing. We had an idea to start what we called the "Kings and Corn" program for fishing and skiing. We did some great rafting. We did that at the lodge for six years, and in 2004 we were looking at our own place. We found this Tordrillo Mountain Lodge on Judd Lake. We had to find some investors and ended up buying it in 2005. And now we have a great business in the winter, and our summer business does well. Mike and I are still the founders/owners. And it's such a beautiful property.
CC Talk about your lodge's "Cast and Carve" heli-skiing and heli-fishing package for guests. I love the idea of what a rush that must be, to combine salmon fishing and skiing on the same summer day.
TM We try to ski in the morning when the snow is usually at its best. We'll try to wear people out. We'll ski the corn and go out on like three runs, which is perfect. We'll have a little mountaintop lunch, take some pictures, look at some wildlife and then fly around to do a little sightseeing from the chopper. Then we fly back to the lodge, take off all our ski gear and change sports. We'll put on our fishing waders, get the fishing gear and then float down the river that's right there near our lodge. So it's kind of multi-sport because you really can't do that anywhere else in the world that easily. We try to mix it up so people can ski and fish and raft, all in one day. Then they can fly back to the lodge, have a nice meal, jump in the hot tub and sauna, pass out and do it again. You don't get a lot of sleep in the summer because it's so light. Sometimes we'll eat dinner a little earlier and then take them out skiing afterward because you get the nice evening light. It's also kind of a unique experience.
CC Is there an epic fishing experience from Alaska that you can share?
TM A couple years ago I had a group up from the Midwest, and the fishing was really good; the skiing was really good. We ended up flying down the river, and everybody was catching kings like every 10 minutes. That went on and on; we'd get them in the boat, then we're taking pictures and letting them go. This one guy hooked into a really big salmon. I thought this was unbelievable that he was going to get this fish in. I didn't have a net because we were sitting in this raft when we were fishing. The guy got it all the boat and I couldn't really grab it by the head. And I ended up grabbing it by the tail and I could barely lift it into the raft. From the photos we saw it was over 50 or more pounds. It was like 58 inches on and like 30 inches round. It was just a massive salmon. He ended up letting it go because it was catch-and-release then. I think in fishing up there for over 15 years now I've only caught two fish of over 50 pounds. Those were definitely trophies.


INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Colts have decided to ''part ways''' with running backs coach David Walker.
Coach Chuck Pagano announced the move Monday. Pagano has called for a consistent power-running game, something that has been a struggle for the Colts. They were No. 22 in the league in yards rushing per game, averaging 3.9 yards per carry in 2014 when Trent Richardson, the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2012, lost his starting job.
Walker had not coached in the NFL until the Colts hired him in 2011. The team also has reportedly blocked other teams from interviewing special assistant Rod Chudzinski, the ex-Browns head coach.

Acting Executive Director
We are pleased and humbled to announce that we have appointed Sikh Family Center's first acting Executive Director, Mallika Kaur!
Mallika is a co-founder of SFC and, until just recently, served as Chair on the Board of Directors. She brings with her nineteen years of experience working directly with victim-survivors of gender violence in various roles, including as an emergency room crisis counselor, attorney, prolific writer, and educator. With a commitment to weaving collaborative networks of change, Mallika has a strong track record working with diverse populations within and outside the Sikh community. She has built crucial partnerships for SFC with other gender justice, racial justice, and immigrant rights organizations. She has also designed creative violence prevention programs for SFC and regularly provides technical assistance and training to our partners. Mallika received her Master in Public Policy from the Kennedy School at Harvard and J.D. from UC Berkeley School of Law, where she also currently teaches skills-based and experiential social justice courses.
Says Mallika: "Taking on this role, to forward a mission so close my heart, is an absolute honor, and I look forward to working even more closely with Sikh Family Center's talented team. We were, are, and will remain primarily a grassroots community-based organization that believes deeply in the power of the community, drawing from the radical power of Sikhi."
At the same time, 2020 showed us like never before the need for increased investment in community-based social services and organizing. I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute further to the SFC's growth at this critical juncture.
"Gendered violence—whether by strangers, or more often, by those in the home—is far from extraordinary. It is, in fact, often just accepted as ordinary. But it doesn't happen far away, to 'those people.' It is all around us, if we are brave enough to see it and Sikh enough to do something about it. Having had the privilege to work and grow with SFC since the start, I know our immense potential as a community to combat the worst and strive towards the justice-oriented mandate of our Gurus. I am constantly inspired by the best of our community!"
As Executive Director, Mallika Kaur will work to immediately increase our network of trained crisis counselors and peer educators, while building our capacity and managing our growing staff. She will build on the strengths within our community, through targeted outreach and engagement with Gurdwaras, Sikh organizations, and other gender justice coalitions.
"Mallika was instrumental in establishing SFC over a decade ago, and we are thrilled that she will have such a pivotal role in shaping SFC's direction as Acting Executive Director. Her contributions have helped SFC become a leader in the Sikh community on gender-based violence prevention & intervention, and a critical resource for families all over the U.S. We are confident that SFC's capacity to serve survivors and impact will be amplified under Mallika's steadfast leadership, talents, tenacity, and vision for a safer present and future for all families."
–Deep Jodhka, Board Chair
SFC's staff and Board of Directors are deeply committed to supporting Mallika as she makes the transition to her new role. Thank you to our community for helping to make this step possible, and please join us in welcoming Mallika.
In Chardikala,
Sikh Family Center Board & Staff

With the UK's ageing population come new challenges and one of them is how we adapt our homes to make them suitable for us as we get older and our mobility worsens.
One academic in Australia is looking at how to combat the issues surrounding the inclusivity of the built environment.
Professor Catherine Bridge, who runs the Livability Design Lab at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, said that one of the issues holding more buildings back from being inclusive is current assumptions about design.
"The idea of wellbeing is modelled on a healthy, middle-aged man, and so that is how it [the built environment] is designed," she said.
She also said that inclusion is one of the areas of accessibility that's often overlooked in built environment design and stressed that architects and designers should take a more proactive approach to their designs to make them more inclusive.
By doing so, they can help people live in their homes for longer and prevent hospital admissions.
If you're looking at making your home more accessible, the bathroom is a good place to start. Fitting easy access showers is one thing to consider as these can look great and will make it easier for you to continue to use your bathroom unaided as you get older.
This isn't just something you have to consider as you get older either. The Guardian recently highlighted the rise in multi-generational living in the UK, with the total number of multi-generational households in Britain thought to number 1.8 million.

File this one under, "You can't please everyone." President Obama was being interviewed by CNBC when a pesky fly started buzzing around him. He swatted at it a couple of times, but it persisted on interrupting the interview. Finally, the President reached up and smacked it dead. It was a Kung Fu moment ("When you can take the pebble from hand, Grasshopper…"). I think it was rather impressive-- I just hope Iran and North Korea were paying attention.
Well, faster than you can say "animal activist," there was a statement from PETA decrying the president's obvious lack of sensitivity. Among other things, PETA said, "We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals. We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals." They also sent the president a "Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher" that allows one to trap a house fly and then release it outside. So we're supposed to practice catch-and-release on flies. Shooting Alaskan wolves from helicopters is inhumane. The kid torturing cats in Florida is inhumane. But swatting flies?
No, we can't please everyone. But that doesn't mean we give up trying and just please ourselves. That's not what God did, and that's not what God wants us to do. Sometimes we have to bear with the weak. Now, the word for weak is the word incapable or powerless; it is often used to mean impossible—see Matt 19:21, Mark 10:27, Heb 6:4). So when Paul talks about the weak, he is talking about those who are incapable of understanding, those of whom more mature response is impossible. He's not talking about someone who knows better but refuses to act better. And even cantankerous critics need a break every once in awhile.
Nope, we can't please everyone. But we don't therefore just please ourselves; we seek to please God.
