What is included in a Brand Due Diligence?
Are trademarks registered in all territories and business classes?
Are trademark rights sold, shared or licensed?
Are sales being lost through parallel trading or counterfeiting?
Is the industry in a growth or decline phase?
Is the industry stable or particularly vulnerable to social, economic, political, technological or environmental factors?
How are developments in e-commerce and the internet affecting the distribution channels in the industry?
Who is the market leader and what is its strategy - is it integrating up/ down/ across?
Which of the other players are considered market challengers/ followers/ nichers and what appears to be their marketing strategy?
What are the barriers to entry in the market?
Is the brand well managed?
Is there protection against reputation damage?
Is there any sustainable competitive advantage?
The introduction of IFRS 3 for acquisitions after 31 March 2004 is expected to have important implications for brand owners and the way trademarks are valued and accounted for. In particular, the separate recognition of trademarks and other acquired intangible assets, together with subsequent annual testing for impairment, will require companies to establish robust intangible asset valuation methodologies, which will stand up to increased scrutiny by the market. A more rigorous and detailed due diligence process should also be developed. In cases where the acquired brand is considered to represent a significant proportion of total intangible asset value, a "Brand Due Diligence" should be considered.

How to tell if a roll of film has been exposed?
I have found film reels some with tails of film others not. Is there a way of telling if they have been exposed/used in a camera? Film types are for 35mm and one Kodak Advantix.
Mervyn Williams JenkinsMervyn Williams Jenkins
As for the Advantix (APS) film, check for a white circle on one side of the roll.
If only a half circle or an X appear in white, there'll likely be some pictures already taken: in the former case you'll be able to insert it into a camera supporting this feature and have it automatically start after previously exposed frames.
While this technique isn't foolproof (resetting this indicator was in fact a requirement to replace the film at any time with cameras not supporting the resuming of a roll) it should be a significant tipoff; with standard 135 film there is no such option and position of the film as it leaves the camera tells nothing about its contents, with no practical way of checking.
If you hold any expectations on their contents, have them developed at your local place (empty rolls are generally charged at a relatively low nominal price, since there'll obviously be nothing to print).

I would recommed the same. Having them all developed and ending up with blank film is better than to be sorry with unusable double exposures. Anyway, nice reading about all this here, flamewars and whatnot. I bought my b/w film in 30 meter long rolls and wound the cassettes myself :) – Esa Paulasto Mar 22 '13 at 20:46
The only sure way to tell if film has been exposed or not is to develop it. Any light used to examine undeveloped film will fog it.
It is probably safe to assume the rolls with no leaders extended out of the cartridge have been exposed. The rolls that still have film showing are another matter. Some cameras with motorized winders, such as my EOS film camera, would wind all of the film back into the cartridge after the roll had been shot. Some other cameras with motorized winders had an option in the settings that allowed you to leave the leader out. With manual film rewinders, the decision was up to the operator. Most folks would wind all the film back into the cartridge, but some would watch the exposure number indicator and stop when it got down to "0".
My Pentax MZ-6 has motorized rewind, and leaving the leader out is an option in settings (useful if you'd like to switch between films). – Imre Mar 22 '13 at 15:24
If the leader's out check to see if it's crimped. Many/most film cameras reverse-roll the film and that will often leave a mark or crease on the leader where it fits into the take-up slot. – BobT Mar 22 '13 at 15:34
Many, but certainly not all, film cameras left a crimp in the leader. Neither my Rebel II nor Konica FS-1, for example, did. They both had motorized winders and large take up spools. The Konica's spool had teeth that caught the perforations on the edge of the film. Especially during the last years of film's heyday, many cameras had built-in winders that didn't leave a crease in the leader. – Michael C Mar 22 '13 at 15:47
This is why I always used to make sure to wind my rolls in even if my camera didn't. So glad I don't have to deal with film any more. – AJ Henderson♦ Mar 22 '13 at 15:57
Having been gifted a roll of film which looked pristine, I'd assumed it was unshot. As it happens, it had been shot on a Fujica ST605, which normally puts a very obvious crimp in the leader, yet in this case, it didn't. Sadly, there's no foolproof way other than developing it, although if you do end up reshooting the roll, you can end up with some very odd double exposures! – Alex Oct 12 '17 at 20:24
If you know what camera the film might have been exposed in, take a look at the takeup spool in the camera. Many cameras have a winding mechanism that involves some kind of slot in the spool into which you stick the film leader, and this bends the leader as film winds onto the spool. If the exposed leaders have a discernable bend or crease, that's a telltale sign that the film was in a camera at some point. If the leader is smooth you really can't say for sure -- IIRC cameras with integrated motor drives grabbed the film a different way and may not bend the film.

So I just found this thread and discovered a way to solve the problem actually. My Nikon L35af (I think...) leaves a little bit of the roll out when it rewinds. This is awesome when you want to shoot double exposures but a bummer if you forget whether or not you shot the roll yet. I compared the number of sprocket holes to a brand new roll of the same film - exactly the same. I looked at the end of the lead but there was no bend.
Finally - I noticed that the roll had very tiny scratches on it in the glare from my bedroom light, I compared the glare to a brand new roll and it was completely smooth. When in doubt try this method and see if it works for you. :)

Unused Kodak 35mm rolls have the tail, plus the ramp, right up to the full width of the film, exposed for three sprocket holes.
In my experience, auto rewind cameras set to "leave tail" will either rewind until all of the upper row of sprockets are within the canister, or with a longer length of the full width of the film than three sprocket holes. (IIRC, it was an option to choose between tail-out styles on some cameras, as the "more lightproof with film in slit vs. more lightproof with tail fully rewound" was a favorite flame war of the primordial pixel-peepers back in the day.)
You may have run into a roll of film where the photographer fiddled with it until there were exactly three sprockets exposed, or the film may have expanded or contracted on the spool over the years so there's two or four sprocket holes exposed, but it's a good guideline.
A GIS for "Fuji 35mm film roll" indicates that either 2 (Fuji Pan) or 4 (Velvia) sprocket holes are exposed for that company's product. I think it's a good bet that anything less than 5 or greater than 0 means it's unexposed
RI Swamp YankeeRI Swamp Yankee
I use Fujifilm and Ilford, and I find that they have the tab, ramp and about 2 sprocket holes of the full width film outside of the casing, as new. This is a good indication that the film is 'new'. It is a million to one that you rewound a film just exactly to the point that the manufacturer sets! Once, I had a film that I was sure I had not used, albeit, it only had the tab exposed (strange: I know I have not used it, but it doesn't look like a new roll): Carefully, with my fingertips, I pulled out some of the film so that the ramp and a couple of sprocket holes of the full-width film were exposed. Had a look and saw fingerprints that would not have occurred in the factory. So it had been exposed after all!

A commercial for electronic cigarettes will be shown on mainstream British television this weekend.
Cigarette advertising has been banned on British TV since 1965.
The advert, along with one on satellite channels last week for SkyCig, a rival brand, and others on the internet, comes as the UK government finalises a new regulatory mechanism for nicotine products and broader health guidance on how to reduce the burden of smoking.
The measures are likely to endorse the use of e-cigarettes as a pragmatic approach to "harm reduction" for those addicted to nicotine and unable to quit, while seeking to impose tougher quality controls.
"This is the sort of approach that many people would like because in principle e-cigarettes provide smokers with a dramatically lower hazard alternative," says Professor John Britton, chair of Royal College of Physicians' tobacco advisory group.

Saudi mufti issues fatwa against chess: 'a waste of time and encourages gambling'
by 1389 on January 22, 2016
in 1389 (blog admin), fatwa, Saudi Arabia
Maybe he's just a poor player and a sore loser…
Daily Mail (UK) has the story:
Grand mufti Abdul Aziz bin-Abdullah issues rules chess is banned in Islam
He said game was 'causes hatred and was opportunity to squander money'
Saudi Chess Association says tournament will go ahead Friday as planned
Saudi Arabia's top religious cleric has ruled that chess is forbidden for Muslims because it is a 'waste of time' and promotes gambling.
Grand mufti Abdul Aziz bin-Abdullah issued the fatwa ahead of a major chess tournament in Mecca tomorrow.
He said the game was 'an opportunity to squander money' and fell under the category of gambling which is banned in the Qu'ran.
He added: 'The game of chess is a waste of time… it causes enmity and hatred between people.'
Abdullah made the declaration while answering questions from viewers on his weekly show With His Eminence The Mufti, it was reported by The Middle East Eye.
Muslims often follow personal religious guidance given by senior clerics, but their declarations are not legally binding.
Musa Bin Thaily, president of the law committee at the Saudi Chess Association, said a tournament would go ahead as planned tomorrow despite the fatwa, which he said was issued last month.
He said on Twitter: 'Many things are said to be illegal and religiously banned in #Saudi.
'For example, the religious society view, bans the public musical festivals, but they're everywhere, the view isn't enforced by the law.'
He added that the Grand Mufti 'being an old man in his 80s' was unaware that players do not usually bet on the outcome of games.

Too bad it has been banned.
It is a game that requires a strategic thinking ahead and lots of brain power.
Oh well,,that explains it! No wonder! Who was the last great Muslim chess champ?

Shards or sherds?
Q: Seeing "filled with centuries-old pottery sherds" in a poem made me wonder if the poet intentionally changed shards into sherds or made a mistake. But then I googled "sherds" and got many hits. My spellchecker still wants to change it to "shards." Your comments?
A: The word for a piece of broken pottery, glass, metal, and so on has been spelled all sorts of ways since it showed up in Anglo-Saxon times, including sceard, scherd, scheard, schord, shard, and sherd.
Dictionaries now include two standard spellings, "shard" and "sherd," but most of them consider "sherd" a variant of the more common "shard."
However, Oxford Dictionaries online defines "sherd" specifically as a short form of "potsherd," a broken piece of pottery, especially one found at an archaeological site.
And Merriam-Webster online says "sherd" can refer generally to a fragment of something, or specifically to "a fragment of a pottery vessel found on sites and in refuse deposits where pottery-making peoples have lived."
As M-W explains, "English speakers have adopted the modernized shard spelling for most uses, but archeologists prefer to spell the word sherd when referring to the ancient fragments of pottery they unearth."
In "At the Metropolitan Museum," the poem that got your attention, Matthew Siegel is using "sherds" in the archeological sense when he writes that "in the museum there is a room / filled with centuries-old pottery sherds / and it is difficult not to start seeing / symbols everywhere."
The Old English word for a broken piece of pottery, sceard, is derived from the prehistoric Germanic skardo- (notched, cut, separated, broken) and the Proto-Indo-European sker– (to cut), according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
In a paper in Studia Neophilologica, a journal specializing in Germanic and Romance philology, Karl P. Wentersdorf explains that the term had "two distinct lines of semantic development" in English—a cutting sense (as in the verbs "score," "share," and "shear") and a sense relating to the byproducts of cutting ("shirt, "short," and "skirt").
When sceard showed up in Old English, the OED says, it referred to the result of cutting ("a gap in an enclosure, esp. in a hedge or bank") and a byproduct of cutting ("a fragment of broken earthenware"). The gap sense is now chiefly dialectal.
The dictionary's earliest example, from the Codex Diplomaticus Aevi Saxonici, a document written sometime before 1000, uses "sceard" in the sense of a gap.
The first Oxford example for the term used as a fragment of earthenware is from a Latin-Old English glossary written around 1000: "Testarum, scearda."
(The OED cites the fourth-century Roman Christian poet Prudentius for this use of testarum. In a description of the martyrdom of St. Vincent, he uses fragmenta testarum to describe the potsherds that Vincent is forced to lie on.)
Here's a Middle English example in the OED (with the noun spelled "shord") from the Wycliffe Bible of 1382: "My vertue driede as a shord."
And here's a Modern English "shardes" example from Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, written around 1600: "Shardes, Flints, and Peebles, should be throwne on her." We've expanded the citation, which refers to Ophelia's body.
Although the "sherd" and "shard" spellings showed up in Middle English (mid-12th to late 15th centuries), the OED has a "shord" citation from as late as 1881.
Here's a recent "shard" example, from the March 2, 2017, issue of the South Bend (IN) Tribune: "All of a sudden, 'bang,' and there's 12-inch shards of glass flying through my house." A resident was describing a powerful storm.
And here's a recent "sherd" example, from the March 1, 2017, issue of the Idaho County Free Press, a weekly in Grangeville, ID: "Excavations in the summer of 2010 at the WWII Kooskia Internment Camp uncovered this pottery sherd."

A quick and easy tasty supper. Perfect mid week. Tasty prawns, chilli and olives with linguine. A few ingredients are all you need.
Fill and boil your kettle. When boiled, pour the water into a deep saucepan add salt and boil the linguine according to the packet instructions, usually about 12 minutes until al dente.
Fry the garlic, olives, tomatoes, chilli, and lime zest gently in a little olive oil for a few minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
When the linguine is just al dente, throw the spinach into the pan for 30 seconds, then drain but retain a little of the pasta water to add to the frying pan in a minute.
Add the prawns to the tomatoes and stir for a few minutes until the prawns are cooked through and pink. Add the drained pasta and spinach and mix everything together well.
Serve with a squeeze of lime juice, a little more seasoning if required and a little of the pasta water if necessary to keep everything nice and moist.
← Prawn and cod burgers.
That sounds and looks lovely. Thank you.
I love prawns but they are so hard to come by in this part of Italy (inland). Next time I have some I will definitely try this. It looks yum and authentic! Thanks for posting.

NHL awards: Sharks' Joe Thornton misses out on first Masterton Trophy
By Marcus White June 19, 2019 6:23 PM
Before Joe Thornton makes his return to the Sharks official by putting pen to paper, the veteran center missed out an adding another trophy to his collection.
The 39-year-old did not pick up the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at Wednesday's 2019 NHL Awards as "the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to ice hockey," with the award going to New York Islanders goaltender Robin Lehner.
The 2018-19 season marked Thornton's second consecutive campaign recovering from a torn ACL and MCL. He tore the ligaments in his right knee on Jan. 23, 2018, just over nine months after doing the same in his left knee.
Despite that, Thornton scored 51 points (16 goals, 35 assists) in 73 regular-season games during his 21st NHL season and became a fixture on the Sharks' third line. It was his 17th season with at least 50 points, tying him for 10th in NHL history with the most such seasons.
[RELATED: Here's why Marleau reunion doesn't make sense for Sharks]
Lehner, 27, won 25 games with the Islanders and was second among NHL goalies (minimum of 10 games played) in save percentage (.930) and third in goals against average (2.13) in the best season of his career.
Before the season, Lehner wrote an article for The Athletic and revealed he had suicidal thoughts while battling drug and alcohol addiction. He wrote that he "was diagnosed bipolar 1 with manic phases" while underoing treatment in Arizona, and revealed his struggles in order to "help make a difference and help others the way I have been helped."
Columbus Blue Jackets winger Nick Foligno was the other finalist. Foligno, 31, scored 35 points (17 goals, 18 assists) in 73 games, missing time in November and March as two of his three children had separate health scares. He told NHL.com's Dan Rosen in a story this week that his nomination was "humbling and I appreciate it, but it's something that feels weird to me because I get to play a game for a living, and I've got a pretty good life considering all this stuff."

NHL free-agency review: How Vegas Golden Knights stack up in Pacific Division
USATSI
By Chelena Goldman July 14, 2019 7:45 AM
Editor's note: NHL free agency was fast and furious, and the moves that teams did (and did not) make set the tone for next season. All week, we'll examine the Sharks' Pacific Division rivals, and whether their free-agency approach put them in better, worse or the same position. Today, we dive into the Vegas Golden Knights.
The 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs can't be talked about without Game 7 between the Sharks and the Golden Knights in the Western Conference first round.
In addition to being the ultimate edge-of-your-seat viewing experience, it gave the rest of the hockey world a glimpse into the bitter rivalry that has very quickly manifested between these two teams.
Despite being around for only two seasons, the Golden Knights have become a force to be reckoned with. And with most of the Pacific Division teams having down seasons, Vegas has emerged as San Jose's biggest competition on the West Coast.
So while the Sharks have a lot to focus on this offseason in terms of their own roster, it doesn't hurt to take a peek at what the opposition is up to, especially a team with no cap space to work with.
Here's a look at what Vegas has been up to since the free-agent market opened up.
Players who stayed
Vegas has been incredibly busy getting its players signed to deals this offseason, keeping important pieces of its roster together. They made the most noise in late June when they signed high-scoring center William Karlsson to an eight-year deal. The top-line pivot ranked second on the team last year with 56 regular-season points.
Vegas also kept some of their depth from last season, locking up forwards Tomas Nosek and Brandon Pirri, and backup goalie Malcolm Subban.
The Golden Knights still have a couple of players hanging out as free agents. But given they currently have zero room under the salary cap, according to CapFriendly, there will be moves made before anyone else gets signed.
Players who left
The lack of breathing room under the salary cap has, as expected, signaled the exit of a handful of players Vegas had on its roster last season.
Defenseman Colin Miller was traded to the Buffalo Sabres and forward Erik Haula was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes ahead of free agency. Center Ryan Carpenter signed a three-year deal with the Chicago Blackhawks in the first couple hours of free agency, and French forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare became one of many players scooped up by the Colorado Avalanche that same day.
Rumors have also been swirling that RFA Nikita Gusev could be headed to another team given Vegas doesn't have any room left under the cap, but there could also be another trade in the works to free up some money.
While the moves leave roles to be filled on Vegas' roster, it allows some of its promising young prospects to step up. The Golden Knights likely aren't done making moves this summer.
Better, worse, or the same?
Even with some pieces being moved around this offseason, the core of the Golden Knights is still intact.
With no cap space to work with, Vegas probably will make more moves this offseason. The Knights still, however, look like they're going to be the Sharks' toughest division rival for another season.

NHL free-agency review: How Edmonton Oilers stack up in Pacific Division
By Chelena Goldman July 12, 2019 4:02 PM
Editor's note: NHL free agency was fast and furious, and the moves that teams did (and did not) make set the tone for next season. All week, we'll examine the Sharks' Pacific Division rivals, and whether their free-agency approach put them in better, worse or the same position. Today, we dive into the Edmonton Oilers.
It was only a couple of postseasons ago when the Oilers booted the Sharks from the Stanley Cup playoffs. But boy, have they spiraled out of control since then.
Despite having one of the best hockey players in the world on their team, the Oilers have developed a reputation for being inconsistent and sometimes looking like they really don't give a darn. The drama got turned up an extra notch this past season with the firing of coach Todd McLellan in November and of general manager Peter Chiarelli in February.
Now Edmonton is set with a new bench boss and GM and is making moves in free agency to improve its roster. But is it enough to completely rebound from a disappointing 2018-19 campaign?
Here's a look at what the Oilers have done since the free-agent market opened.
Players who signed
New GM Ken Holland has gone to work trying to provide the Oilers with offensive depth in free agency, re-signing forwards Alex Chiasson and Jujhar Khaira and adding Markus Granlund, Tomas Jurco, and Gaetan Haas.
But the most interesting signing thus far has been that of goaltender Mike Smith, previously with the Calgary Flames. Smith is coming off an inconsistent season where he lost out on the starting job to David Rittich, but was good down the stretch -- although the Flames were booted pretty quickly from the playoffs.
This addition could go one of two ways. Smith could have a bounceback season playing for David Tippett -- who has been his coach twice before -- or lose out on the starting job yet again, this time to Mikko Koskinen.
Whichever goalie wins the job is going to have a challenging time with the lack of quality defense being played in front of them. Speaking of ...
Edmonton started clearing room before the market opened by buying out the rest of Andrej Sekera's contract. Even though Sekera's career has been on the decline since he sustained an ACL injury a couple of seasons ago, it leaves a void on the Oilers' blue line.
Not ideal if your team is going up against an offense like the Sharks' multiple times a season.
[RELATED: Sharks re-sign RFAs Gambrell and Suomela to contracts]
It's believed Holland is going to make a big trade at some point this summer ahead of training camp to beef up the blue line. Until that happens, though, Edmonton's defense isn't looking too sturdy.
As of right now, the Oilers don't appear to have made any big changes that could completely turn their fortunes around and still have pieces they need to add before next season starts.
They may have a new coach and general manager in place, but they'll need to do more than that if they want to be more competitive next season.

Alex Boyé teams up with Lexi Walker and the One Voice Children's Choir for Africanized Tribal cover of 'Let It Go' from Disney's animated movie Frozen.
Watch the Music Video after the click.
I went out of town for work and when I got back, my wife Julie told me, "You've got to hear this. She puts on the music and my little 4 year old Adanna struts and shimmies across the living room singing every single word of "Let it go" with feeling and reckless abandonment!! Along with every other kid in the country, She got "Frozenitis!
My mind immediately started racing and I thought "I HAVE TO AFRICANIZE THIS!!!
But it needed to have a unique twist. How cool would it be to actually have kids performing this? Seeing as they are the the biggest fans!
So I called up my friend Masa Fukuda who just happens to have a 140 strong choir of the most incredible singing kids and asked if he was willing to collab on my crazy idea of doing an africanized version of frozen. awhile back, I had heard a young girl named Lexi Walker sing at a local event, and WOW, she just blew me away! I knew she would be the perfect person to sing lead on this song!! Masa is a machine!!! By the next day, he had already rounded up some choir members, produced the music, and recorded the choir in his studio. All within 2 days!!!
The singing ability, discipline, and professionalism of the kids was just astounding to me!
The video shoot was amazing and even though it was SO cold you couldn't feel your toes, the kids were amazing and so patient!
So, everybody, please welcome the One voice children's choir!!!


Many people head off to the grocery store with a list in hand, or at least in mind, while others prefer to just turn up and wing it. While "winging it" in the grocery store might work out OK for you, I strongly caution the use of this tactic in performance.
A successful performance is 90 percent preparation and 10 percent action. Heading to the show pen with a solid game plan (preparation and performance plan) will boost your confidence and increase your consistency. Who couldn't use a little more of each of those?
A Preparation and Performance Plan will differ from person to person depending on individual goals and experiences, but basically, these are the steps you will take prior to and during your performance to give yourself the best possible opportunity to succeed.
So how do you create a preparation plan and what should you include?
Preparation begins well before the event. Use your training journal, and in detail, record your preparation procedures that precede each event. What exactly did you do before the event?
Take a good look at the steps you took prior to and during the event and mark which ones you think helped you and which may have hindered you from giving your best performance. This is the first step in figuring out what works for you.
Look for patterns. Compare your best performances and note similar steps that you took before each successful performance. These are the steps that you may want to include in your preparation and performance plan. Likewise, compare your worst performances. Do you detect any patterns of behavior leading up to each performance? These are the steps to eliminate or at lease re-evaluate to determine what went wrong.
Include your preparation routines and rituals in your plan. These help to calm anxiety and provide consistency in preparation.
You can work with your trainer or significant other to create your plan, but be sure to word the steps in your own way so that they are meaningful and personal to you.
Try out your game plan for a training session prior to an actual performance. This gives you the opportunity to make changes as needed. Be flexible and don't be afraid to make changes if it isn't working but give it a chance. Stick to the same plan for at least a couple of sessions before making significant changes, and take some time after each session to critically analyze what worked and what went wrong.
Write down your preparation and performance plan in clear, concise steps. Go back as far as you feel is relevant. Perhaps the day or even the week before because often the practice sessions prior to the actual event can reflect directly on your performance.
By taking the same steps prior to each performance you are reducing the uncertainty and minimizing the risk of error. We are most anxious when we are unfamiliar or uncertain about our situation so the more often you stick to the same game plan, the more comfortable you will feel prior to and during your actual performance.

Adapting an Evidence-Based Curriculum in a Rural Setting: The Early Impacts of Reducing the Risk in Kentucky
OPRE Report Number 2017-43

Through a one-year follow-up survey, the study found that the adapted version of Reducing the Risk had short-term impacts on some but not all of the program's targeted outcomes.
The adapted version of Reducing the Risk increased students' exposure to information on birth control, knowledge of contraceptives and sexually transmitted infections, and support for condom use among sexually active youth.
The program had no measurable short-term impacts on students' sexual risk behaviors, intentions to have sex, attitudes toward abstinence, or perceived ability to avoid sexual risk behaviors.
This report examines short-term impacts from an adapted version of the Reducing the Risk in Kentucky high schools. It is part of a multi-component evaluation of the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), led by Mathematica for the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. PREP provides federal funding to educate youth on abstinence and contraception. To help identify effective pregnancy prevention approaches for rural youth, Mathematica conducted a rigorous evaluation of an adapted, eight-hour version of Reducing the Risk in collaboration with the Kentucky Department of Public Health. Reducing the Risk is a widely implemented, classroom-based abstinence and contraceptive education curriculum designed to prevent teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and associated sexual risk behaviors.

Even if there were a chance to change my life, I would ignore it. Now, I am at the point when I clearly understand that everything has a reason. Moreover, everything that happened with me, no matter pleasant or not, I perceive as a lesson. I am grateful to those people whom I met. All my experience is a part of me.
Now, I lead a life of an average white middle class female. Until the age of eight, I happily lived with my parents; we spent time together, sometimes traveled a little bit. However, I cannot say that everything was fine. Once, I woke up in the morning and understood that there was no "us" anymore.
For me, a little girl, it was important to be a part of something big. In this case, family was the most important thing for me. Of course, I had friends and classmates, but the family was the only thing I identified myself with being a part of the society. After my parents got divorced, I stayed with my mother; the farther emerged in my life only on weekends. We often moved to new places that helped my mom to hide her pain. I changed places as mittens and tried to find a place of my own like my mother.
The time passed by. When I was twenty, in one of the clubs, I met Warren. He was from Britain. That night, we spent around two hours in the conversation. That was the beginning of our romantic relationships, and less than in two months, I packed my bags and moved to England. Later, we got married; however, I cannot say that we lived happily ever after.
In terms of the culture, Britain is totally opposite to the USA. I felt not in my plate as everything was new for me starting from the language. The way people think, act, behave, and treat each other was often not clear. Nevertheless, I tried to stay positive. I had a job, but it did not help to make my living in Britain colorful and bright. With Warren, we tried to make our marriage work; however, nothing helped. After two and a half years, we decided to split up and have a chance to live the lives we wanted, but separately. Smashed and lost, I returned to the USA.
From the perspective of the years, I can suggest that in the relationships I had, I inherited a model of behavior from my parents. The way I acted was quite similar to that I saw being a child. In my desire to run away, I forgot that no matter where I go, I would always take my self with me. With time and new experiences, I developed stronger personality and some useful psychological skills (Cherry, 2005). According to Ericson, people need to experience the conflict, which often becomes the turning point (Ibid). The first stage in the development of personality is Trust vs. Mistrust. According to Ericson, it is one of the fundamental periods in life of every person experienced during the first year of living. In case the attempts of developing trust fail, the person will experience fear.
The last five years were the years of challenges and discoveries for me. I understood that the kind of a person I am now is the result of the previous decisions and choices. In the society of superstitions, I probably should be successful in everything that I start. However, we are the part of the society and, according to its laws, everyone plays his/her role. William Shakespeare mentioned this in the 16th century. For some people, you are a good friend; the others see only enemy in you. The only person ready to worship you for your being is mother; her love is unconditional.
I cannot say that religion is a huge part of my life. In my opinion, there is a difference between belief and religion. Nevertheless, my parents and their generation were brought up with the beliefs of the recent times. Religion has few main functions that can be called 5T: transmission, translation, transaction, transformation, and transcendence (Campbell, 2010). Usually, people are lost in terms of religion and try to find substitution of it. Modern culture suggests a wide range of them. There is an opportunity to choose, but often, there is no opportunity to reject. Culture is a complex of beliefs and peculiarities of behavior of the ethnicity or a race (Zion & Kozleski, 2005). Often, our culture causes misunderstanding, which was probably the main reason why we broke up with Warren. We were different and similar at the same time. Instead of concentrating on what we had, we were looking for something that was missing. For me, it was important to identify myself and learn to fight with confusion.
After being misled, I tried to understand what I like and who I am. The answer to these two questions helped me to start my life from the new chapter and to find strength to develop and learn. I started working at Texas Department of Criminal Justice. I cannot say that my work is easy, but I really like it. My main job is held inside the prison. I work with inmates and try to help them to arrange their life before getting out. I know that often, it is a shock for people to start everything over again. Although I do not assume that I killed all my fears, I hope that my experience will help others to overcome their fears.
Everyone around me appears in my life on time. In this situation, it is only my decision to get the message or stay aside. This is a psychological rule. If the person's development is under stagnation and despair, it is quite hard to turn to the starting point and find strength.
The same can be said about my studying. This is a chance for me to understand my individual differences and learn my inner self. Only after this, I can help others.

Q: AlphaAnimation does not go to 1.0 I want to animate a view with an AlphaAnimation but I encounter a problem.
Before I start the animation, my view has an alpha of 0.5 and I want to increase the alpha to 1.0 then decrease it back to 0.5.
So :

*

*Original state is 0.5

*Animate from 0.5 to 1.0

*Go back from 1.0 to 0.5

The problem is that the animation from 0.5 to 1.0 do not work as expected. I think that the animation works like this :

0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25
0.5 * 1.0 = 0.5
Result of point 2 : The view goes from alpha 0.25 to 0.5 instead of 0.5 to 1.0

I tried to set the alpha to 1.0 with myView.setAlpha(1.0) just before the animation starts but when I do that, the view blink just before the animation begins.
Here is the code :
AlphaAnimation alphaAnimation1 = new AlphaAnimation(0.5f, 1.0f);
alphaAnimation1.setDuration(200);

AlphaAnimation alphaAnimation2 = new AlphaAnimation(1.0f, 0.5f);
alphaAnimation2.setDuration(200);
alphaAnimation2.setStartOffset(200);

myView.startAnimation(alphaAnimation1);
myView.startAnimation(alphaAnimation2);

Can somebody tell me what is wrong and how I can change the alpha from 0.5 to 1.0 ?

General budget guidelines
As of September 15, 2011, the Tri-Agencies' regulations on minimum and maximum support levels no longer apply. CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC will also no longer restrict researchers from using some of their grant money to provide supplements to scholarship holders.
For all other sponsors, please refer to the granting agency guides at https://www.mcgill.ca/research/researchers/funding
University recommended minimum rates:
Effective June 18, 2018, according to the McGill AMURE Collective Agreement and the recently signed Letter of Agreement regarding Pay Equity, the following minimum rates apply. However, the Research Director may offer a higher rate based on the specifics of the research situation and granting agency regulations following minimum rates apply.
Research Associates and Research Assistants:
Minimum rate for Research Assistants: $28.44 + mandatory benefits (see below)
Minimum rate for Research Associates: $28.44 + mandatory benefits (see below),
All RA position can be either 35h or 40h (lunch hour not included). They can be hired full time or part time (less than 35 hours).
Casual Research Assistants (typically students):
June 1st 2019: $15.50 + benefits
Estimated benefits is 22.33% in addition to salary*
While the term Research Assistantship (RA) is sometimes used to describe any position held by graduate students or postdoctoral fellows whereby monies are paid for engaging in research, at McGill there is a clear distinction between providing funds paid to graduate students or postdoctoral fellows as Stipends and those paid for (true) Research Assistantships.
Stipends: Stipends are not be confused with Research Assistantships. Student stipends are fellowships; research assistantships are employment.
Student Stipends are monies paid to students (typically at the graduate level) from a professor's grant for the purpose of allowing the student to further his/her own research/thesis or other program or academic requirement. Stipends are fellowships awarded to provide financial support to the student while he/she is completing his/her degree.
As noted in the Income Tax Act (IT-75R4), "this work is undertaken by the student because participation in it will assist the student in qualifying for a degree or other scholastic recognition in the field in which the research is being carried on."
Such activity may include research collaboration with the supervisor or others, developing techniques and methodologies, or gaining knowledge of scientific or scholarly ideas or materials – as long as the objective is the student's advancement toward educational goals for the desired degree. Thus, to be awarded a stipend it is not necessary for the student's work to be a part of the superior's research or be carried out in collaboration with him/her.
A Research Assistant's (RA) salary is an hourly wage for research work by a student that does not advance the student's own research/thesis or assist the student in progressing towards his/her degree. RA payments are processed via the Minerva HR Appointment form/POPS and are considered employment income and therefore subject to statutory governmental deductions.
In order to maintain full-time status, a graduate student should not work more than 180 hours per term over 15 weeks with 12 hours per week as described in the the ecalendar.
Also see McGill's Student Stipends website.
As of January 1, 2017:
Postdoctoral fellows who are paid through McGill University research funds will be considered an employee. This group will be classified as postdoctoral researchers.
The fact that postdoctoral fellows will now be recognized as employees means additional financial charges on funds of the researchers who employ them. When a postdoctoral fellow is employed, the PI will have to pay the employer's portion of the employment taxes and benefits contributions.
For more details, please see the Q&A
Since the ratification of the new collective agreement, effective August 1, 2017, the following minimal salaries have been defined for Postdoctoral Fellows (the rates below, take into account wage increases):
June 1, 2019: $34,100 + benefits
The estimated benefits is 25% - 28% in addition to salary
Government mandatory contributions /Institutional non-discretionary benefits
The employer's contribution should be included as a separate budgetary item.
Calculated as a percentage of salaries requested, the mandatory benefits and other associated costs to grants are:
Association of McGill University Research Employees (AMURE)
Research Associates and Regular Research Assistants (full & part time):
25 - 28% in addition to salary (varies as a function of included benefits; includes vacation indemnity, designated paid holidays and authorized leaves)
Casual Research Assistants (students and non-students):
22.33% in addition to salary (includes up to 12.73% mandatory government contributions, The payment of vacation indemnity is 6 % for employees with less than 3 years of continuous service and 8% - 10% for employees with 7 years or more of continuous service.) *
Postdoctoral fellows:
Estimated benefits: 25% - 28% in addition to salary
Note per collective agreement: The vacation indemnity is equal to 6% - 10%, as defined in Article 22.06, and the holiday indemnity is currently 3.6% to the end of the collective agreement.
Graduate Students receiving stipends:
Supplemental health and dental insurance: PIs may elect to pay/offset health and dental insurance for graduate students. The maximum permitted is $502 which is equivalent to McGill's Post-graduate Student's Society (PGSS) single-coverage insurance fee.
If you choose not to pay this cost from your grant, your post-doctoral fellow or graduate student will assume the cost.
Additional information can be found on the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office (GPSO) website.
All research incurs indirect costs. The indirect costs of research are institutional costs that benefit and support research.
These costs must be included in budget requests to external sponsors of research, except for the Tri-Agency (NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC), the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQNT, FRQS, FRQSC), and the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE), as indirect costs for the research they fund are paid to the University through separate federal and provincial indirect costs programs.
For more information on how indirect costs are handled at McGill, please see the Indirect Costs page.
Rates effective from March 1, 2017:
RATE OF INDIRECT COSTS
Grants from government and not-for-profit organizations 27% on total direct costs or maximum rate allowed by sponsor
Contracts and agreements with government and not-for-profit organizations 27% on total direct costs or maximum rate allowed by sponsor as per written guidelines or as pre-negotiated by McGill University (please contact OSR for specific sponsor rates)
Grants, contracts, and agreements from industry and other for-profit organizations 40% on total direct costs (Industry sponsored grants and contracts that are matched through industry-partnered federal and provincial programs - e.g. NSERC Alliance, MEI Programme Innovation, Quebec consortia, etc. carry 27% indirect costs.)
Clinical trials 30%
Gifts Indirect costs on gifts in support of research are negotiated by University Advancement
EXAMPLES OF SPONSORS SPECIFIC RATES
Grants and Contracts with U.S. Federal agencies (except NIH grants) 43.4% on direct salaries and wages, including fringe benefits (in accordance with McGill University's DHHS Rate Agreement dated November 6, 2020).
National Institutes of Health (NIH) 8% on total direct costs except equipment (in accordance with NIH Grants Policy Statement).
Contracts through Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) 65% on direct salaries and benefits, including fringe benefits; 2% on travel.
Exceptions: For research grants totaling less than $100,000 per annum inclusive of indirect costs from the same not-for-profit sponsor, where the Principal Investigator (PI) is requesting a rate lower than McGill standard indirect costs rate, the PI submits a written justification to the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) and does not require any other approval.
All other requests for an exception to the indirect cost rates must be approved by the relevant Dean(s) and Vice-Principal (Research and Innovation). It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to obtain all appropriate approvals/signatures.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) - Effective January 1, 2013
Budget items that are subject to goods and services taxes must add *6.937%. This rate includes the Federal GST (*5%), Québec TVQ (9.975%), 67% rebate on the federal GST and 47% rebate on the Québec TVQ.
Further details are available on the McGill Financial Services website.
Purchase of goods & services ($100,000 and over)
According to the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT), all purchases of $100,000 and over must be tendered publicly for a minimum of 15 calendar days. For more information, please consult McGill's Procurement website.
Contact Procurement as soon as the grant has been awarded and the specification of your requirements have been determined. Please note that 4-6 weeks advance notice to Purchasing is required.
Import and export of goods
For general information regarding import and export, please consult McGill's Procurement website.
Should you have specific questions regarding applicable duty or required forms to be completed when importing goods, you may contact Anna Gentile at Procurement at (514) 398-1720, or Sébastien Lavallée at Affiliated Custom Broker (McGill University's customs broker), at (514) 288-1211, ext. 250.
Consult the Manager of the local Animal Facility about per diem rates.
Use current rates. Contact General Accounting for more information at (514) 398-3880.
Computing costs
Continuing users of the Computing Centre's facilities are advised to base their future estimates on previous costs. New clients should consult with Debra Simpson at (514) 398-7413. More information is also available here.
Budgeting a contract: key differences
When budgeting a contract, one prices rather than costs the work to be undertaken. This is one of the biggest differences between a grant, which only costs the work (direct plus indirect costs), and a contract (incorporates the full cost of carrying out the research or services).
In a contract, the detailed budget remains an internal document: the contractor is only to see the fixed or lump-sum price for the work.
For some projects, the price may be broken down into three or four amounts coinciding with various deliverables through the project's life, or alternatively, broken down by broad categories of expenses that are all-inclusive, such as labour, equipment, consumables and miscellaneous.
In addition to the direct and indirect costs of the research, a contract will also incorporate depreciation of equipment, direct administration charges, contingency and the salary of the Principal Investigator.
For more information on budgeting, please contact an OSR Grants and Agreements Officer.

See The Bones Of The 2020 Corvette In This Sweet Cutaway
There's only so much you can talk about a car in theory before you need to see things in cutaway or exploded view. Thankfully, the Chevy team brought a cutaway model of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette at the official launch last week and we got to take a closer look.
The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Doesn't Drive Like Other Mid-Engine Sports Cars
I can't think of a car that has been more hyped, argued, and picked apart than the 2020 Chevrolet…
With its panels stripped away, it's so much easier to see the Corvette's guts. How big its engine actually is. Where all the cooling goes. We asked Mike Petrucci, Corvette Lead Development Engineer, and Steve Padilla, Corvette Lead Vehicle Dynamics Engineer, to give us a short walk-through of thing.
The main thing I had beef with when I drove the car was interior space. The C8, despite being an inch longer than the outgoing C7, has slightly less legroom, according to Car and Driver:
Large exterior dimensions portend generous passenger and cargo space; the latter has been a long-running Corvette strong suit. That remains true in the C8. Its head- and legroom figures nearly match the C7's (legroom is down by 0.2 inch)...
This was quite apparent to me when I drove the car, so that's what I wanted to hear about first. Petrucci said there were things like additional seat travel and a narrower center tunnel supposedly meant more comfort for the occupants. That narrower center tunnel is the result of all the car's mechanicals now being located behind the driver.
A Corvette has to be usable, not just fast. I see and understand the team's attempts, I just don't know how well they pulled it off. But it's interesting to see the bones of what they were working with.

The layout of the car wasn't just a matter of simply sticking everything behind the cabin. Turning a front-engine car into a mid-engine car posed its own set of challenges. Petrucci said the team wanted to balance aerodynamic and thermal attributes, as well as powertrain cooling functions. Because the engine has now been moved to behind the cabin, the team had to engineer a new flow path for the air to reach it.
When it's parked, fans located behind the doors pull air into the engine compartment. You can see them below:
Seeing the the C8 cut open like this makes me realize how much room is in that engine bay. I've poked around the 992 Porsche 911 cutaway and there's zero space in there for anything. A mouse would have trouble finding a hiding spot.
But here? There's definitely some wiggle room. Some mods-room. I highly encourage you to get ideas.
What's most interesting about looking at the bones of the C8, however, is how similar they are to the new Acura NSX. There was a cutaway model at this past year's LA Auto Show (pictured above) and it struck me how similar the two look. Obviously, the Acura has a whole hybrid system packed in there as well, but I can't imagine it would be terribly difficult for General Motors to do the same to the Corvette.
Maybe the engineers could fill in the front trunk with a battery-powered motor in order to drive the front wheels. Hah! An all-wheel-drive, hybrid Corvette? I wouldn't hear the end of it from the Corvette fanboys. Neat idea, though.
And yeah, that would likely sacrifice some trunk space. But who needs golf clubs, anyway?

I'm confused, the Lead Engineer says there is actually more interior space inside the new Corvette, but Kristen Lee said it was incredibly cramped inside of there.... and she's like what? 5'5" or so?

Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single organization and supply chains refer to networks of companies that work together and coordinate their actions to deliver a product to market. Also, traditional logistics focuses its attention on activities such as procurement, distribution, maintenance, and inventory management. Supply Chain Management (SCM) acknowledges all of traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product development, finance, and customer service. Logistics is about getting the right product, to the right customer, in the right quantity, in the right condition, at the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost. A supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. Supply chain activities involve the transformation of natural resources, raw materials, and components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer.


Take a journey back in time with us and experience PostFinance's 100-year history. It begins with the launch of the "post cheque and giro service".
PostFinance fundamentally reorganizes its e-banking system at the end of 2014, and the entire website follows in spring 2017. A new emotional customer experience on desktop and mobile devices makes it easier for customers to enter into dialogue with PostFinance.
Due to PostFinance's significant status in domestic deposit services and its strong position in payment transactions in Switzerland, PostFinance Ltd as a financial group is declared a systemically important bank by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
TWINT is founded as a PostFinance subsidiary in summer 2014. Switzerland's first integrated payment and shopping app gets off to a successful start and merges with Paymit in 2016. The aim remains the same: a standardized, smart payment solution for digital payment transactions in Switzerland.
E-finance has a completely new design. Information is arranged in clear tiles, making navigation easier. Users can adapt e-finance to their needs quickly and easily.
The 13-storey Mingerstrasse complex offers workspaces for 850 employees. At 55 metres high and with gross floor space of 15,000 m2, it is one of Berne's tallest buildings.
Since June 2013, PostFinance has been a private limited company under private law and a subsidiary of Swiss Post Ltd. PostFinance Ltd is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and has been granted a licence in accordance with the Banking Act. The PostFinance Ltd Board of Directors is the highest official body within PostFinance Ltd.
Swiss Post – and along with it PostFinance – receives directly subordinated financial intermediary (DSFI) status. This means PostFinance is subject to full supervision by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) in compliance with the provisions of the Anti Money Laundering Act even before PostFinance is converted into a private limited company.
PostFinance is the first financial institution to offer a free app with a payment function for iPhones. It allows users to find the closest Postomats, PostFinance branches and post offices, and displays the latest stock market information.
Together with UBS AG, PostFinance launches yellow mortgages and the yellow retirement savings account 3a. This marks PostFinance's transformation into a fully-fledged retail financial institution. Since summer 2008, PostFinance has also offered additional mortgages in cooperation with Münchener Hypothekenbank eG.
With yellowtrade, today called e-trading, PostFinance enters the world of Internet-based securities trading.
The first PostFinance advice centers are opened in Lausanne, Basel and Zurich.
PostFinance launches a safe, flexible savings account with the Deposito account. It is followed by the e-Deposito account in 2000. In 2003 the Deposito account for business customers is introduced. In 2013 the Deposito accounts are renamed savings accounts.
The 1998 postal reform was designed to ensure and improve the provision of good, inexpensive postal and payment transaction services for the population and economy throughout Switzerland. For Swiss Post, the reform involved changes at both market and company level.
Under the reform, PostFinance had a statutory obligation to achieve returns consistent with the market when investing customer deposits and to guarantee the security of the investments. The abolition of the limit on interest provided the basis for a market standard for paying interest on customer deposits in postal and Deposito accounts.
yellownet marks the start of the e-finance era. This service sees PostFinance rise to become the undisputed number one in e-banking. By 2009, e-finance has surpassed one million registered users.
The three yellow funds are launched in collaboration with Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS). Today, PostFinance has seven of its own funds: Funds 1-5, as well as Fonds Global and Suisse. Since 2002, PostFinance has also offered a selection of investment funds from other providers.
The Postcard Eurocard credit card is launched. It is later marketed as Postcard VISA Card in cooperation with Cornèr Bank. Today these services are called PostFinance MasterCard and PostFinance VISA Card.
Postcard follows on from the POSTOMAT PLUS card and the blue, guaranteed Postcheque. Launched in 1984, it allows cash withdrawals from post offices in Europe and Japan. The POSTOMAT PLUS Card was put into service for the first time at Shoppyland Schönbühl, Berne, in 1988. With its magnetic strip and chip, it made cashless payments considerably easier.
Telegiro PTT is launched. A precursor to yellownet, this service enables electronic payments via Videotex.
The first Postomats are introduced even before banks had ATMs. Postomat Cards are introduced for cash withdrawals.
The introduction of the inpayment slip with reference number (VISR) was a pioneering achievement. It has shaped paper-based payment transactions in Switzerland up to the present day and anchored PostFinance's position in the market. This service has been called ISR since 1996.
In the wake of the 1930s economic crisis, interest rates drop to very low levels. At the end of 1949, the interest earned was only 0.2%, a meaningless amount for many account holders. Since it still involved work to calculate, the interest on postal cheque credit balances was discontinued.
The agreement is reached at the UPU Congress in Madrid. At the same time, Swiss Post signs postal order agreements with the biggest European countries.
The dense post office network is the natural solution for payment transactions. There are already about 3,000 access points across Switzerland. Carl Koechlin opens the first post cheque account at the post cheque office in Basel.
Private and cantonal banks are no longer able to provide enough cash to meet the needs of the Swiss economy. To remedy this problem, Carl Koechlin, a Basel member of the National Council and colonel, along with five co-signatories submit a motion. This is the cornerstone for the introduction of a "post cheque and giro service".

If you want your home candles to look as stunning as they smell then you'll need to add an Atelier Cologne Collection Maison Candle to your collection! I have the Cedrat Venice candle and it is gorgeous! Here's what you need to know about the latest launch from this amazing fragrance brand.
I own a lot of candles, but I don't own anything that looks like this. The jars are inspired by vintage apothecary pots and perfumer's lab bottles and use Atelier Cologne's iconic Venetian blue colour. I love the leather tag embossed with the scent's name and bound to the neck of the glass.
I have the Cedrat Venice candle which is such a beautiful zesty scent. Inspired by Los Angeles' Venice Beach with its blue ocean, pink blooms and bold street art, it's described as a 'green citrus candle twisted with exhilarating mint and smoked woods'. It is so good!
And look! Each candle comes with these gorgeous Atelier Cologne matches. There are three different designs to choose from. Mine go perfectly with my citrusy candle.
The Atelier Cologne Collection Maison Candle collection launches in Atelier Cologne boutiques in February 2018 and online HERE in March 2018.
Anyways, love so much! Thanks for the review. As soon as I saw Atelier released these I added a bunch to my cart. So excited.
I see- matches! How cute and exciting. I ordered mine from Sephora, so I am not sure that I will get them… I ordered the ones inspired by Positano, London, and Montmartre. Venice and Shanghai are probably the next two I would love to buy, aside from all of them. I really love everything Atelier! Thanks again for the review!

Q: Qt5: How to create interrupt driven gpio button based qt app My problem is......... I am trying to develop an application.In this application there are certain pages and which is displaying on the LCD on my board.and my board has a gpio button by default the value of this button is high when i press this button value of this button become low after releasing again high.i want to make my app interrupt based when i pressed hold button for 3 second display should be rotate and if i just press and release button page should change.In my app i have interface my gpio button.
QString btnInput = "/sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value";

In my apps I can read the value from value file when my app start after that if i press button nothing will happen.what should i do.
how can i generate interrupt after pressing button.
please help me i am new in qt I start qt just before 2 week.

A: I can't tell for a Qt5 application actually (I don't have experience in the Qt field), but you may use a inotify file watcher with /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value in user space.
That way your program will receive notifications (interrupts) whenever the value changes.
I'm almost sure there's also some (portable) Qt intrinsic mechanism, that resembles the same.

Update (after a little research):
Specifically for Qt I found this answer where the QFileSystemWatcher is mentioned for doing that portably.

Brexit starts in 10 days - British diplomats to walk out of EU meetings on September 1
BRITISH ministers and officials will pull out of virtually all EU meetings from next month as the UK's scheduled departure from the bloc looms, the Government announced last night. In a fresh sign that Whitehall is dramatically ramping up preparations for a no-deal divorce, EU Exit Secretary Stephen Barclay ordered them to stop attending routine diplomatic briefings and panel discussions in Brussels from September 1.
By Macer Hall Daily Express Political Editor

Brexit: Boris Johnson vows to enter EU talks with 'oomph'
Diplomats and other civil servants will be expected to spend their time focusing on building relationships with other trading partners around the world instead. The move was announced last night as the tense diplomatic stand off over the deadlocked Brexit negotiations intensified when top Eurocrat Donald Tusk flatly rejected Boris Johnson's latest proposal for a departure deal. Mr Barclay said: "An incredible amount of time and effort goes into EU meetings with attendance just the tip of the iceberg. Our diligent, world-class officials also spend many hours preparing for them whether in reading the necessary papers or working on briefings.

"From now on we will only go to the meetings that really matter, reducing attendance by over half and saving hundreds of hours.
"This will free up time for ministers and their officials to get on with preparing for our departure on October 31 and seizing the opportunities that lie ahead."
Officials at the Department for Exiting the EU said his decision reflected the fact that the October 31 scheduled departure date was now "very close".
Most discussions in Brussels were now focused on how the EU will function once the UK has left and were increasingly irrelevant to Whitehall work.

Ministers and officials will only attend Brussels meetings where the UK "has a significant national interest in the outcome of discussions" such as those covering security, international relations or finance.
The Prime Minister will also continue attending EU Council summits until the country leaves the bloc.
Mr Barclay wanted to "unshackle" staff from Brussels appointments to allow them to apply their talents to the country's "immediate national priorities" including pioneering trade deals and promoting the Global Britain brand, according to department insiders.
Officials insisted the UK would not "frustrate" the functioning of the EU, with Britain's vote delegated on a case by case basis to ensure routine Brussels business was not held up.
A statement from the UK Government to the Presidency of the EU said: "The UK Government remains committed to the duty of sincere cooperation and will not stand in the way of the conduct of EU business during this time.
"We are very grateful to you as Presidency for agreeing to exercise our vote, if necessary, at meetings which we do not attend.
"As the Prime Minister made clear, we would wish you to do so in a way that does not prevent the EU27 from moving ahead, and we will work with you to ensure that EU business can continue smoothly."
The move follows a significant souring in relations between Westminster and Brussels this week.
Mr Tusk, the president of the EU Council, yesterday accused the Prime Minister of wanting to re-establish a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic and not being frank about his negotiating objectives.

His provocative blast came in response to a letter sent by the Prime Minister to the EU on Monday proposing a new guarantee of no customs checks at the Northern Irish border as an alternative to the backstop.
Responding to the letter, Mr Tusk wrote on Twitter: "The backstop is an insurance to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland unless and until an alternative is found.
"Those against the backstop and not proposing realistic alternatives in fact support reestablishing a border. Even if they do not admit it."
Mr Johnson last night dismissed Mr Tusk's response as "a bit negative".
Ahead of a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel this evening and further talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister promised to tackle the negotiations with "a lot of oomph".
He said: "At the moment it is absolutely true that our friends and partners are a bit negative.
"I saw what Donald Tusk had to say and it wasn't redolent of a sense of optimism.
"But I think actually we will get there. There is a real sense now that something needs to be done with this backstop.
"We can't get it through Parliament as it is. So, I am going to go at it with a lot of oomph as you'd expect, and I hope we will be making some progress in the course of the next few weeks.

"But clearly, one thing that slightly complicates the picture is our EU friends still clearly think there is a possibility that Parliament will block Brexit, and as long as they think that there is a possibility that Parliament will block Brexit, they are unlikely to be minded to make the concessions that we need. So it is going to take a bit of patience."
Number 10 officials later hit back by warning there was "no prospect of a deal" as long as EU negotiators clung on the discredited backstop border proposal.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "We are deeply invested in the peace, prosperity and security of Northern Ireland and always will be and we have been clear that we will never place infrastructure, checks, or controls at the border.
"But it is clear that unless the Withdrawal Agreement is reopened and the backstop abolished there is no prospect of a deal. It has already been rejected three times by MPs and is simply unviable as a solution, as the PM's letter makes clear.
Natasha Bertaud. the European Commission spokesman (Image: EU)
"We are ready to negotiate, in good faith, an alternative to the backstop, with provisions to ensure that the Irish border issues are dealt with where they should always have been: in the negotiations on the future agreement between the UK and the EU."
A string of other EU officials also rubbished the Prime Minister's offer.
Natasha Bertaud. the European Commission spokesman, above, said that the letter "does not provide a legal, operational solution to prevent the return of a hard border on the island of Ireland.
"It does not set out what any alternative arrangements could be and in fact, it recognises that there is no guarantee that such arrangements will be in place by the end of the transitional period."

Chancellor Sajid Javid, below, last night further ramped up no-deal Brexit preparations by taking action to ensure British firms exporting to the EU do not face unnecessary customs blockages at European ports.
He announced that HMRC will automatically enrol tens of thousands of firms in a new customs identification system.
More than 88,000 VAT-registered companies across the UK will be allocated an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number in the next fortnight in order to keep trading with customers and suppliers in the EU after the UK has left.
Mr Javid said: "As the government accelerates its preparation to leave the EU on 31st October, it's right businesses are prepared too.

"There can be no time for delay which is why HMRC has allocated thousands of businesses with a trading number to ensure they can continue to trade their goods through Europe from day one.
"This will help ease the flow of goods at border points and support businesses to trade and grow."
In another move, the Department for Communities and Local Government announced an extra £9million to help ensure ports are fully prepared for a no-deal Brexit.
More than £2.6million from the sum will go to local authorities in Kent because of the county's closeness to the continent.
A total of £5 million will be given to local councils which either have or are near to a major air, land or seaport to ensure they will continue to operate efficiently when the UK leaves the EU on 31 October.
The remaining £4 million will be shared out to local resilience forums (LRFs), partnerships made up of representatives from local public services, across England to support them in their preparations.
Local Government Secretary Robert Jenrick said: "From keeping our supply chains running and ensuring goods continue to flow into the country, to putting robust plans in place for every community, local government is playing a vital role in preparing the country to be fully ready to leave the EU on 31 October.
"We have stepped up our preparedness significantly in recent weeks, including by asking every council to appoint a Brexit Lead Officer.
"Now we are releasing an additional £9 million of additional funding today to help local areas get ready for Brexit, whatever the circumstances."
Around 800 EU meetings to discuss a wide range of issues are scheduled to take place during September and October.
Yesterday's announcement will mean UK ministers and officials will now only attend around a third of them.
