Q: How to do zoom in ScrollPane I've got problem with setting up zoom efect in my game. So i have Stage object which is filled by ScrollPane, which includes Table with couple Actor's. I want it to be possible to zoom in and zoom out elements of that Table using gestures (and scrollbars adjust to its new size). I've tried with stage.getCamera().zoom however it changes size of whole ScrollPane which i don't want to. I came up with the idea of changing size of all actors of that Table however I'm not sure if it's the most efficient way. Could someone help me with this?

A: I think the best way to do that is, like you said, changing the size of the table in scrollpane. I actually ended up extending the stack and changing scale of the table in the stack, and then i had another table for actual size. I needed that for my app:
public ZoomableStack() {
    imageTable = new Table();
    sizeTable = new Table();

    this.add(imageTable);
    this.add(sizeTable);

    layout();

    imageTable.setTransform(true);
}

Get the scaled sizes for the table:
@Override
public float getPrefWidth() {
    return imageTable.getWidth() * imageTable.getScaleX();
}

@Override
public float getPrefHeight() {
    return imageTable.getHeight() * imageTable.getScaleY();
}

Override layout method like so:
@Override
public void layout() {
    float width = this.getWidth();
    float height = this.getHeight();

    imageTable.setSize(imageTable.getPrefWidth(), imageTable.getPrefHeight());

    float tableWidth = imageTable.getWidth();
    float tableHeight = imageTable.getHeight();

    imageTable.setOrigin(tableWidth / 2, tableHeight / 2);
    imageTable.setPosition((width / 2 - (tableWidth / 2)), (height / 2 - (tableHeight / 2)));
    sizeTable.setBounds(((width - getPrefWidth()) / 2), ((height - getPrefHeight()) / 2), getPrefWidth(), getPrefHeight());
}

You may need to override setCullingArea() because the table will end up bigger than screen, and then all your actors in the table will disappear:
@Override
public void setCullingArea(Rectangle cullingArea) {

}

Then create zoom method where you call invalidateHierarchy():
public void zoom(float amount) {
    imageTable.scaleBy(amount);
    invalidateHierarchy();
}

Then you just add the stack in to your scrollpane and use the zoom:
ZoomableStack zoomableStack = new ZoomableStack();
new ScrollPane(zoomableStack);

zoomableStack.zoom(speed * amount);

The Joint Commission Update: Preventing Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections
Journal of Nursing Care Quality
October/December 2012, Volume :27 Number 4 , page 283 - 287 [Free]
Kusek, Linda MPH, RN, CIC
TODAY, INFECTIONS CONTRACTED in the hospital and other health care settings represent one of the greatest risks to the health and well-being of patients. Health care-associated infections (HAIs) occur throughout the world, affecting hundreds of millions of patients each year.1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 5% to 10% of hospitalized patients develop an HAI.2 There were an estimated 1.7 million infections and 99 000 associated deaths in hospitals in 2002.3 Another estimated 1.6 million to 3.8 million infections occur in long-term care facilities each year.4
Recent evidence that HAIs are largely preventable has created new opportunities to implement relatively simple practices to reduce or even eliminate the burden associated with such infections. Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are one such type of infection that appear to be largely avoidable with adherence to evidence-based preventative guidelines.5
Central venous catheters (CVCs) play an integral role in modern health care, allowing for the administration of intravenous fluids, blood products, medications, and parenteral nutrition, as well as providing hemodialysis access and hemodynamic monitoring. Their use, however, is associated with a risk of bloodstream infection caused by microorganisms colonizing the external surface of the device or the fluid pathway when the device is inserted or in the course of its use.6 Central venous catheters are the most frequent cause of health care-associated bloodstream infections.7 It has been estimated that 80 000 CLABSIs occur in intensive care units in the United States each year6; however, if patients outside intensive care units are also included, the estimate increases to 250 000 cases of CLABSI each year.7
A CLABSI is a laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection related to the presence of a central line or umbilical catheter that is in place either at the time of or within the 48 hours before the onset of an infection; it is not related to an infection at another site.8 Signs and symptoms of CLABSI can include soreness or redness at the insertion site, fever, chills, and hypotension; infants and neonates may have fever, hypothermia, apnea, or bradycardia.8
PREVENTION OF CLABSI
Employing relatively simple, evidence-based practices to reduce, if not eliminate, CLABSIs seems to be within the reach of even resource-limited settings.9 Within this framework HAIs, and CLABSIs in particular, are more and more being viewed as "preventable" events. For example, Umscheid et al10 estimated that as many as 65% to 70% of CLABSIs may be preventable with the implementation of evidence-based strategies. Pronovost and colleagues,11 from the Johns Hopkins Quality and Safety Research Group, demonstrated initially in 103 intensive care units in Michigan that increased use of evidence-based interventions and an improved culture of patient safety could prevent CLABSIs. At the end of the 36-month study period, there was a 60% overall reduction in the baseline CLABSI rate.11 As a result, $200 million and an estimated 2000 lives were saved.12 The Pronovost model spawned a national effort in the United States, supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, to implement the program in all US states.13
Efforts to track, report, and prevent bloodstream infections in the United States have also improved in recent years. As part of its Action Plan to Prevent HAIs,14 the US Department of Health and Human Services has set a national goal to reduce CLABSIs by 50% by 2013, as monitored through the National Healthcare Safety Network. The Joint Commission also includes CLABSI in its National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) for hospitals. The Joint Commission NPSG related to CLABSI requires organizations to institute a variety of preventive and educational initiatives.
THE JOINT COMMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Because education is a key component in preventing CLABSIs, the NPSG requires organizations to educate health care workers who are involved in central line-related procedures about CLABSIs and prevention strategies. This education occurs not only at hire but also on an annual basis and whenever central line-related procedures are added to an individual's job responsibilities. Patients and their families must also be educated about CLABSI prevention as part of the NPSG. In addition, organizations must conduct surveillance for CLABSIs. Periodic risk assessments must be conducted, infection rates measured, compliance with best practices monitored, and the effectiveness of prevention efforts evaluated. All of these measures then need to be communicated to key stakeholders, including leaders, licensed independent practitioners, nursing staff, and other clinicians.
Accredited hospitals must use policies and practices that are aligned with evidence-based practices to reduce the risk of CLABSIs. These practices include performing hand hygiene, using an insertion checklist, following aseptic technique, using maximal sterile barrier precautions, prepping the skin with a chlorhexidine-based antiseptic, and using a supply cart or kit that contains all of the standardized materials that will be used to insert the CVC. The femoral vein is to be avoided unless other sites are unavailable. Once the central line is in place, hand hygiene must be performed before manipulating the CVC, and catheter hubs, connectors, and injection ports must be disinfected before accessing them. Finally, all CVCs must be routinely evaluated to determine whether they need to be continued, and all nonessential catheters should be removed.
PUTTING STRATEGIES INTO PRACTICE
As valuable as evidence-based practices may be, their availability alone does not necessarily result in directly changing the behavior of health care personnel.15-21 Common barriers to the implementation of best practices to reduce or eliminate CLABSIs include lack of leadership support, lack of a safety culture, unavailability of resources, issues with staffing such as suboptimal nurse-to-patient ratios, and the inadequate education, training, and competence of health care personnel.5
To bring best practices to the bedside level, improvement efforts must change practice patterns.22 Implementation strategies that are multifaceted and multidisciplinary, and that include sufficient resources and explicit support from organizational leaders, are most likely to be successful.20,23 The challenge comes in identifying which multifaceted approaches are likely to be most effective in a given organization, as there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, it is important that implementation strategies are customized to specific problem areas within a given organization in order to be most effective. As a first step, consider using a systematic approach to identify, prioritize, and remove local barriers that can diminish best practices.
The following is a brief overview of several internal and external factors that can affect the success of any improvement initiative that is designed to reduce or eliminate HAIs, including CLABSIs5:
* Leadership: This is broadly defined to include not only the executives, officers, and directors but also the clinical leaders and leaders of improvement teams or initiatives. Leaders communicate their vision to staff, provide human and fiscal resources to support CLABSI improvement initiatives, and work with staff to overcome barriers.
* Culture of safety: A culture of safety refers to an organization's commitment to safety across all levels of the organization and includes a blame-free environment that encourages staff to report error and near misses. Staff at all levels of the organization should seek solutions to patient safety issues.
* Multidisciplinary teams and teamwork: Teams create a balanced approach to improving patient care and safety. Such teams should include all staff members involved in CVC insertions and maintenance, clinical leaders and champions, managers, and infection preventionists. Health care personnel must not only be clinically competent but also be expert team members.
* Accountability of health care personnel: All members of the health care team must consistently carry out standardized protocols to prevent CLABSIs. Each individual is accountable for following evidence-based practices outlined in organizational policies and procedures.
* Empowerment: Health care personnel should have the ability to speak up, without fear of blame or intimidation, when unacceptable behaviors, errors, or near misses occur.
* Resource availability: Organizations need to ensure that necessary equipment and supplies are in place, along with education and training of staff on CLABSI prevention practices, competency assessments for staff, and trained epidemiologists and infection preventionists to oversee the CLABSI prevention program.
* Data collection and feedback of CLABSI rates: Surveillance for CLABSI and feedback of CLABSI rates to front-line staff can have a significant impact on CLABSI prevention efforts.
* Policies and procedures: Written policies and procedures that incorporate evidence-based practices should be available and their implementation should be monitored.
* Involvement of patients and families: Patients and their families should be educated on the steps they can take to reduce the risk of CLABSIs.
Central line-associated bloodstream infections are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. There is growing recognition that many HAIs, including CLABSIs, are largely preventable when evidence-based practices are followed consistently. Progress that has been made in recent years in reducing CLABSIs points to their preventability, even in resource-limited countries.

As a child, I was always amused by Warner Brother cartoons. The wit. The slapstick. The playfulness. One such series that I loved was the ongoing saga of Sam the sheepdog and Ralph the wolf. Each episode would show the two of them "clocking in" and then battling it out through the day only to "clock out" as buddies at the end. It made for good comedy and a few good laughs on a Saturday morning.
These two came from totally different perspectives, and yet, they had the ability to be civil and appreciative of each other. It set the model for a young impressionable mind on a greater value. This is good. Albeit, today, I wonder if this is disingenuous.
Beyond the theatre of the absurd found in Saturday morning cartoons, one is able to remember a similar relationship in real time. President Reagan and Tip O'Neill. These two were just like Sam and Ralph. They modeled something that seemed so ridiculous that it reflected the comedy of a Saturday morning cartoon. Although, it proved maybe it is possible. There again, these men were politicians. How sincere could it have been? According to Tip's son, it was very real. Our popular culture would call this: Frenemies.
Currently in the PCUSA, we are facing diametric differences of opinion and perspective on several different topics, and one in particular. This isn't new. Differences and disagreements are bound to happen whenever you bring a large group of people together.
When faced with disagreement, what should we do? Should we adopt the Sam and Ralph mindset of being frenemies? In light of the gospel, that seems strangely disingenuous. Maybe it is best to sever the tie to be "honest" about one's convictions. This tension is stirring up major consternation for those who are struggling with what to do.
I have certainly been in the midst of that struggle. But, it is a theological, ecclesiological and ontological conviction that keeps me in the PCUSA. I'm not staying because the PCUSA is the best thing out there or because of the hassle it is to leave. I'm not staying because I'm afraid of risk or simply wanting to avoid financial ramifications. These are all cartoon strawmen.
There is no perfect denomination this side of glory. The challenge and risk of staying is far more difficult than surrounding myself with likeminded individuals. Sure, I'm heartbroken by the events that happen in this denomination. I am also thrilled by the things we promote and provide for the sake of the Kingdom of God.
I stay, because the PCUSA still affirms Jesus Christ is Lord of all. I stay, because the PCUSA grants latitude on the theological continuum of Reformed faith for me to nurture a congregation with the gospel of Jesus Christ that spans millennia of biblical and ecclesiastical history. I stay, because throughout God's revealed word and full counsel, I read that we are to seek unity not division.
Our ordination vows place us in a very interesting triad of tension: Unity, Purity, and Peace. This vow establishes for us the challenge to balance all three along with the other vows we have sworn before God and our presbytery. These are equally important in our quest of fulfilling the call to serve our Lord Jesus Christ, whose grace comes freely to us.
How do we live into this calling? It is my hope that we live into this calling more than just "frenemies". I would hope that we are genuine with one another. I would hope there is respect and value. I would hope there is not coercion or slander. I hope in the promise that God's love for us goes beyond measure, and I recognize we are all steeped in sin whether we acknowledge it or not. May we live as faithful children of our heavenly Father.
Rev. Dr. Theodore H. Martin is a senior pastor at Hampton Presbyterian Church.
I so appreciate this distinctly Presbyterian perspective. We probably disagree on one thing yet AGREE on so much else that Chtist is calling us to respond with our hearts, minds, and faith, in unity. I love that you pointed out that there is no perfect denomination this side of eternity. Amen.
Even as imperfect as I am, I give thanks for sisters and brothers who continue to stay in relationship with me…and I with them. That's the presence of God being embraced. And amen.
I think everyone could use a tad bit more of the information.

Supplies are also very welcome and you can donate them too! Here's a list of some things that are always needed at Wild Things.
For those who work in a hospital or vet clinic, can you save Wild Things any supplies? Hospitals throw away hundreds of dollars worth of medical supplies that can be used in wildlife rehabilitation, such as expired medical supplies and opened but unfinished medications/fluids. Veterinarians are also always welcome to donate supplies & assistance.
Before you drop anything off please check with us that it is needed at the current time.

When Shelley was in the 7th grade, she invited Jesus to come into her heart as her personal Savior. Since then she has truly made Jesus Christ, the Lord and Master of her life. Soon after her conversion, she joined a Christian youth singing group called Carpenter's Tools International, traveling as far as Australia to share the Gospel. She later became the youngest member of an adult Minnesota Christian Chorus which traveled and ministered to a variety of both secular and Christian events, from car racing to church services.
As an adult, Shelley has been blessed to have served in her church as a Worship Leader for both adults and youth. This past August, 2010, Shelley, Herb and their young musical family of six traveled to South Africa on a mission trip with grandparents, Bob and Ann Kuefner. Shelley and Herb led in singing while 16 yr old twins Jordan and Luke played the saxophone and trombone, Abby (12 yr old) played the flute and saxophone and 11 year old Andrew played the trumpet. We have been told, this may be the first all-family band to minister throughout South Africa. With much joy in the Lord, they shared the Good News of Jesus through their music and personal testimonies resulting in many precious lives being won for the Lord.
One afternoon a few years ago, God spoke to Shelley's heart and she sat down at her piano and wrote this song, "Work of Art." May it bless each listener, speaking to each heart as a remarkable reminder of God's incredible love for you and how you too are a precious "Work of Art."

A new Soviet jet fighter plane, fitted with a device that allows it to reach great altitude, is the target of the operation of foreign intelligence service. The plane is downed over the Black Sea during the test flight, and the pilot Maj. Karpenko is captured by the enemy submarine. A diver from submarine finds the drowned plane and disassembles the device. But the activities of Soviet border guards and Navy ships, and Karpenko's fortitude make the plan fail. ''Note:'' the movie was never restored and the DVD release has original grainy film. {{Film Title}} __TOC__<br clear="all"> = Pistols = == Luger P08 == Belsky ([[Ivan Pereverzev]]), the commander of the spy submarine, carries a [[Luger P08]].

NYC's 1940s 'Dream Airport' Would Have Been on a Giant Midtown Rooftop

Imagine never having to sit in hours of traffic heading to JFK or enduring all the local stops on the 7 line trying to get to LaGuardia? Your dreams almost came true in 1946 with the proposed 990-acre Manhattan Airport, which would have "stretched 144 blocks from 24th to 71st Streets and 9th Ave to the Hudson River at 200 feet above street level," according to Untapped. The idea of real-estate mogul William Zeckendorf, who owned the Chrysler Building and Astor Hotel, the airport would have cost a whopping $3 billion, a staggering sum in the 1940s, which was planned to be paid off in 55 years from rental income.
1946 article about the plan in LIFE, via JF Ptak Science Books
In addition to its traditional airport functions, the project would have included restaurants, office space, waiting rooms, and piers for ships to anchor. As Untapped notes, "An estimated 68 planes an hour could take off across the runway, compared to the 71 per hour at LaGuardia and 89 per hour at Newark and JFK."

The idea obviously never came to fruition, but New Yorkers are still dreaming about alternate air travel options in the city whose airports come in last for mass-transit accessibility. In fact, in 2009 the Manhattan Airport Foundation released a funny plan for an airport in Central Park. Though it was a joke, over 85,000 people signed the petition to bring the project into reality.

Q: Как в std::chrono получить time_point начала текущих суток (с максимально возможной точностью)? Мне в своём проекте понадобилось получить std::chrono::time_point со временем 00:00:00 текущих суток с макимально возмой точность. Как мне это сделать?

A: Удалось решить проблему самому. В конечном итоге получилась такая функция:
std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::high_resolution_clock> GetStartTimeOfToday (){
    using high_resolution_clock = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock;
    std::time_t t_now = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(high_resolution_clock::now());  // Получаем текущее время в виде std::time_t
    std::tm tmp = *localtime(&t_now); // Конвертируем в std::tm.
    tmp.tm_hour = 0; // Обнуляем все поля времени.
    tmp.tm_min = 0;
    tmp.tm_sec = 0;
    std::time_t t_start_time_of_day = std::mktime(&tmp); // Делаем обратные преобразования.
    return high_resolution_clock::from_time_t(t_start_time_of_day);
}

A: std::chrono еще явно не доделан для работы в таком режим, его основное назначение - типобезопасные промежутки времени и их измерение, а не вывод их пользователю. Но в c++20 планируют добавить календари, часы в UTC и подобное (можно посмотреть тут).
Для таких задач на практике нужно использовать библиотеки, хотя бы тот же Qt.
В качестве развлечения можно делать что-то вроде подобного:
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <ctime>
#include <iomanip>
int main(){

    namespace chrono = std::chrono;
    auto now = chrono::system_clock::now();
    {
        auto now_c = chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(now); // Только для отладки
        auto utc_now_c = *std::gmtime(&now_c);
        auto local_now_c = *std::localtime(&now_c);
        std::cout << "UTC now:       " << std::put_time(&utc_now_c, "%c %Z") << '\n';
        std::cout << "local now:     " << std::put_time(&local_now_c, "%c %Z") << '\n';
    }

    // Будет в с++20:
    using days = chrono::duration<chrono::hours::rep, std::ratio<chrono::hours::period::num * 24>>;

    // Используем преобразование с округлением для получения остатка
    auto after_midnight_duration = now - chrono::time_point_cast<days>(now);
    auto hours = chrono::duration_cast<chrono::hours>(after_midnight_duration);
    auto minutes = chrono::duration_cast<chrono::minutes>(after_midnight_duration - hours);
    auto seconds = chrono::duration_cast<chrono::seconds>(after_midnight_duration - hours - minutes);
    std::cout << "hours: " << hours.count() << '\n';
    std::cout << "minutes: " << minutes.count() << '\n';
    std::cout << "seconds: " << seconds.count() << '\n';

    // Для перевода в localtime или в utc нужны смещения. Вариант так себе, но вроде работает:
    static const auto localtime_offset = []{
        auto now = chrono::system_clock::now();
        auto now_c =  chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(now);
        auto now_tm = *std::localtime(&now_c);
        now_tm.tm_hour = 0;
        now_tm.tm_min = 0;
        now_tm.tm_sec = 0;
        auto midnight_c = std::mktime(&now_tm);
        auto midnight_from_c = chrono::system_clock::from_time_t(midnight_c);
        auto midnight = now - (now - chrono::time_point_cast<days>(now));
        return midnight - midnight_from_c;
    }();
    // тут я не уверен, но вроде работает
    static const auto utc_offset = []{

      auto now = chrono::system_clock::now();
      auto now_c =  chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(now);
      auto now_tm_local = *std::gmtime(&now_c);
      auto now_tm = *std::localtime(&now_c);
      now_tm.tm_hour = now_tm_local.tm_hour;
      now_tm.tm_min  = now_tm_local.tm_min ;
      now_tm.tm_sec  = now_tm_local.tm_sec ;
      auto utc_now_c = std::mktime(&now_tm);
      auto utc_now = chrono::system_clock::from_time_t(utc_now_c);
      return (now - localtime_offset) - utc_now;
    }();

    std::cout << "============ local time: " << '\n';
    {

With the high temperatures coming just around the corner, please enjoy these tips that will help you stay cool while conserving both energy and money this summer.
Maintain your air conditioning filter. Changing or cleaning your filter monthly will improve efficiency and maximize your equipment's life.
Turn off your air conditioner when no one is home. There's no reason for your air conditioner to use energy and cool your home if you aren't even there!
Clear furniture away from your air conditioner vents. This will help your air conditioner work more efficiently and get you a better airflow.
Open more windows. This will generate fresh, cool air inside. A good rule of thumb is to keep your windows closed when the temperature outside is warmer than the temperature inside.
Keep blinds, drapes and shades closed. Helps block out the sun, which will decrease the temperature inside your home.
Install a ceiling fan. In the summertime, use your ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. It will blow air down on to you and cool you off.
Install an attic fan. Woodfin can install an attic fan to help cool the air in your attic by nearly 30 degrees. In effect, this can help reduce the temperature throughout your entire home.
For more tips on how to save money and conserve energy this summer call Woodfin's friendly Energy Solution representatives at 804-730-5000 or contact us online. Woodfin is the proven leader when it comes to your cool comfort this summer!

by Tractor 5 October 2020
written by Tractor 5 October 2020
I once attended the PCA end of season awards ceremony at the Hurlingham Club, London, along with my sister. We were making up numbers on a corporate table bought by our mum's firm of solicitors and were there on the basis that we could hold an end in terms of conversation, whether academic or cricket.
All I can say – supported by anyone who knows me – is thank goodness my Blackberry (yes, it was that long ago) was in for repair and Tractor 2 didn't have a camera phone. Although most memories of the evening are hazy (beyond a disputed 'who told the boss that our mum's colleague is a moron??' chat), I do recall congratulating Eoin Morgan on a super season, much to the amusement of Jimmy Anderson, and stumbling into Stuart Broad, saying 'sh*t, sorry' before looking up, and up, and up before finally finding his face and repeating 'really sorry'. He was delightful, obviously.
Beyond that, Scouting for Girls were great, Nasser Hussein struggled on with the awards over a generally-sloshed audience, and Jon Lewis did some seriously stinky farts. I kid you not.
This year, the PCA awards were a more subdued affair but it remains worthwhile to take a look at the winners and reflect on a different but fascinating season.
Chris Woakes took home the men's player of the season award in a triumph for a workhorse who always has a smile on his face, in spite of this summer's dodgy facial hair and Alice band! Undoubtedly one of the nicest guys in English if not world cricket, no one could begrudge Woakes his award. For me, his grace and class in recognising that he is a horses for courses player, and never making a scene of that fact, mark him out as a thoroughly deserving winner.
Scooping the Young Player of the Year award was Zak Crawley. Having seen him stand in on last winter's South Africa tour when the England team was beset by illness, I have to say I liked him. I'm an old fashioned cricket fan and I have no time for the extravagance of KP, no matter how many runs he scored for England. Crawley is the embodiment of the exact opposite: humble, determined and working hard for every inch of success. As I think I wrote about in a previous blog, the excellent Simons Hughes and Mann felt that he may not be a 'great' Test match cricketer, with just 12-15 hundreds to his name throughout his career. I would settle for Crawley achieving this and being a great of our time. His double-hundred this summer bodes so well for a future when we may not fear England taking to the middle.
Sarah Glenn won the Women's Cricketer of the Year Award and I am sorry that I haven't seen more of our promising young leg-spinner to write more about her achievements. Someone who has played through the new leagues of women's cricket to reach national level, Sarah clearly has a bright future ahead of her and I look forward to watching her play. The fact that it is only 10 months since her debut for England makes me feel a little better about missing her meteoric rise!
Final mention goes to Stuart Broad. I know I'm wearing this argument out but I seem to be in the minority of England supporters in thinking Stuart is great. Maybe someone else will write a book in a few years that derides him as the most arrogant man they have ever met… but I doubt it. To me, he is entirely genuine: a man who gives his all every time, and like the rest of us may not always be 100% on form but my goodness he gets it right often enough and strikingly enough to be given the benefit of the doubt! He is humble yet forthright, an unusual combination, and I have enjoyed so many of those magic Broad spells where he simply tears through a side that I would never want him out of an England team. Yes, England need to do some succession-planning but I am entirely behind Broad in his desire to play every game and make an impact.

Q: Xampp, how do I get to phpmyadmin when my htdocs are in dropbox? I was searching for a way to sync all my xampp prodject between different computers and find a guide that showed how to sync it with dropbox.
But now to the problem, when I write "localhost/phpadmin" in my brower so normaly I get to the phpadmin page but I don't. I guess it searches for a map in the htdocs and find nothing.
Iam woundering if there is anyone out there that also uses dropbox and have find a way to get to the phpadmin page. I really need to get there to configer stuff and edit my database.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english...

A: Probably you changed some paths, while changing you htdocs directory to point to the dropbox folder.
In XAMPP (1.8.3 - can't check other versions right now), there is an alias defined for phpmyadmin. You can find it at
[yourXAMPPdirectory]/apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

There should be something like this:
<IfModule alias_module>

  <!-- some other stuff -->

    Alias /phpmyadmin "[yourXAMPPdirectory]/phpMyAdmin/"
    <Directory "[yourXAMPPdirectory]/phpMyAdmin">
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

  <!-- some other stuff -->

</IfModule>

Make sure this points to the correct folder of phpmyadmin.

Another solution would be to just install a new phpMyAdmin instance to the dropbox folder and use that one. You would have to configure the auth properly, so you can enter the respective credentials for each machine.

A: I relized that I was trying to go to localhost/phpadmin but the correct link is localhost/phpmyadmin xD
After trying that link, everything worked, sorry for taking you time but thank you for helping :)

Q: How describe Post body as object with deepObject encoding? API require to pass POST body as form object. For example how Postman makes requests:
curl -X POST \
  http://api.mysite.local/v1/site/login \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \
  -F 'LoginForm[login]=username' \
  -F 'LoginForm[password]=password'

How can I describe this with OpenAPI 3.0? Due to large amount of reusable forms and data objects, I desided to place them in /components/schemas and reuse in request description with $ref:
paths:
  /site/login:
    description: "Authorization"
    post:
      requestBody:
        content:
          application/x-www-form-urlencoded:
            type: object
            properties:
              LoginForm:
                $ref: "components/schemas/LoginForm"
            encoding:
              LoginForm:
                style: deepObject
                explode: true
components:
  schemas:
    LoginForm:
      type: object
      properties:
        login:
          type: string
        password:
          type: string
      required:
        - login
        - password

Unfortunately that did not worked, when I execute widdershins --expandBody 'api.yml' -o 'api.md', body parameters section is empty. Whad I do wrong?

Santa Claus runs out of reindeer due to climate change
After the start of the annual reindeer census of the Norwegian Polar Institute, the news was not the best. Upon reaching the Svalbard archipelago, they found the remains of more than 200 reindeer that starved to death due to climate change, something that had never happened since monitoring began more than 40 years ago.
According to the newspaper El Panorama, in December a warmer than normal temperature was registered in the area, this abrupt change in the climate caused the animals to die of hunger due to the lack of food in the area.
As the researchers found, the famine is the result of the relatively high temperatures of last winter, which, together with frequent rains, caused the pastures to freeze, causing a thick, hard ice layer that prevented the reindeer from digging. reach the vegetation.
The scientists explained that the animals had to compete for food and that for obvious reasons, the most affected were the youngest and the oldest. They also added that it is normal for some reindeer to die during the winter period, but this year the number was very high.
Ashild Onvik Pedersen, head of the census project, sees this "high mortality rate" as a consequence of climate change, twice as fast in the Arctic as in the rest of the world according to climatologists. "Climate change makes it rain a lot more. The rain falls on the snow and forms an ice sheet on the tundra, which makes grazing conditions for the animals very bad, "he said.
Since the Svalbard reindeer population began to be surveyed 40 years ago, there was only one death rate at the end of winter 2007-2008, Onvik Pedersen said.

Knut Wicksell was a Swedish economist. In any ranking of economists who were active in the 100 years following Wicksell's birth, his name would surely appear in the top 10. Wicksell's work included substantial contributions both to the Austrian theory of the business cycle and the theory of public choice. Wicksell followed Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk in treating production as a sequence of stages, where the production of consumer goods was supported by a hierarchical structure of capital goods. To this structure of production, Wicksell attached the idea of two distinct rates of interest: a natural rate and a loan rate. A divergence between the natural rate and the loan rate would induce a change in the structure of production. For instance, a fall in the ...

Peggy is single, childless, in her 40s, a lonely executive assistant in a friendly office. Her dog Pencil is the love of her life, and when he dies after eating some sort of toxin, Peggy's life spins out of her control: a friendly neighbor invites her for dinner; a friendly staff member at her vet's calls with an abused dog he recommends she adopt - she does, and also finds herself attracted to this fellow. She becomes a vegan, supports animal-rights causes, and embroils her brother's young children in these concerns. Saving dogs and other animals become such a passion that her mental health and her job may be in danger.

Hide-Overview
Accounting Technicians Ireland (formerly known as the IATI) is the leading Accounting Technician body in Ireland with over 10,000 members and students. Established in 1983, Accounting Technicians Ireland prides itself on providing an internationally recognised accounting qualification and on promoting the highest educational, technical and ethical standards to its members. Its qualification differs from many other academic programmes as it combines professional exams with practical work experience.
As members of Accounting Technicians Ireland, individuals are entitled to put the letters MIATI after their name, seen by many employers as essential when hiring.
Accounting Technicians enjoy excellent career prospects and there is always a strong demand for their skills in the marketplace. They can work in a wide variety of finance roles for many types of organisations, including manufacturing companies, local and central government, the health service, banks and insurance companies and private accountancy firms.
Self employment is also a possibility for qualified technicians. In addition, many who qualify as Accounting Technicians go on to continue their studies, using the qualification as a stepping stone to eventually becoming professional accountants with one of the other accounting bodies.
A qualified Accounting Technician will be able to:
• Prepare financial statements.
• Prepare financial reports and other management information.
• Compute tax liabilities for companies and for individuals.
• Set up and manage systems for budgets, stock control, cost accounting, cash reconciliation.
• Set up and manage credit control procedures.
• Use computers effectively in a business environment.
The Accounting Technicians Ireland qualification is divided into two parts, each of which is a qualification in its own right.
• Certificate for Accounting Technicians (1 year)
The Certificate for Accounting Technicians (First Year) offers a progression pathway into the Diploma for Accounting Technicians . Once you successfully complete the first year subjects, you will receive the Certificate for Accounting Technicians award.
• Diploma for Accounting Technicians (2 years)
For the Diploma you are required to gain experiential learning through two years full time employment (or the equivalent part time). This could be relevant work experience from a previous job or voluntary activity for a group or society. The Diploma qualification is awarded on successful completion of all 8 subjects and two years relevant work experience.
Accounting Technicians work alongside qualified accountants in business, industry, private practice and the public sector. The comprehensive training received means that they can play a wide range of roles in any organisation from accounts clerk to assistant accountant, from credit controller to systems administrator.
Registration and Assessment
Every first year student must register with Accounting Technicians Ireland and pay a registration fee in addition to registering at ITB. First year students may be granted exemptions from certain subjects on the basis of prior achievements. More details of registration and the exemption process may be obtained directly from Accounting Technicians Ireland. Students should note that fees for registration and exemptions apply.

However students who do not attempt all four modules in the one sitting on their first attempt are ineligible for an overall credit pass or honours. Students who may wish to go on to further studies should consider taking all four second year level subjects together as it can have implications later. Students have six years from the date of registration with Accounting Technicians Ireland to complete the qualification.

Bochy said he talked with Crawford this morning for "quite a while, basically about the approach and maybe tweaking his mechanics a little bit Try to get him to shorten up and get him in a little better position where he can handle all four quadrants."
Crawford has handled left-handers much better this season (.311) but is hitting just .198 against right-handers, which Bochy said shouldn't be happening. Moving Crawford up to the second spot may let the Giants "play a little different game with him, bunt, hit-and-run," to try to generate some life in his bat.
Crawford, of course, isn't the only hitter struggling, and Bochy reiterated that for some of the Giants' hitters, the current problems may be self-fulfilling -- when you're in a slump, "Maybe your confidence isn't quite as high swinging the bat, and you're going to chase more pitches." He said that seemed to be the case Tuesday night, as the Giants struck out 13 times, including 11 against left-hander Francisco Liriano.
* Some good news on the injury front: Bochy said all went well with Angel Pagan going through a normal pre-game routine Tuesday night in Arizona. Pagan will go through the same routine today and barring a setback play in a game Thursday.
Bochy said it's unlikely Pagan, even in a best-case scenario, would be able to rejoin the Giants during their four-game series this weekend in New York, so the earliest he would return is likely next week in Milwaukee.
* Brandon Belt, though, will fly with the team to New York and could be activated there, Bochy said. Belt is scheduled to do live hitting today and has been ramping up his cardio work with no negative effects from his concussion. The Giants will likely make a call on Friday about activating Belt.
* Less promising is the news on Hector Sanchez, whose progress since his concussion has been "slow," Bochy said. There's still no target date for Sanchez resuming baseball activities, and Bochy said it now looks like Sanchez's concussion was "a little worse" than Belt's. For context, Belt has been on the DL since July 20 with his concussion.
* No update on Matt Cain, who's scheduled to meet with Dr. James Andrews about his injured elbow today.
* Lastly, Bochy was asked about the impending trade deadline (1 p.m. PT tomorrow) and said of the Giants' current activity: "You explore everything. (But) there's nothing on the horizon right now."
That obviously could change, but Bochy said he won't be discouraged if it doesn't.
"No, because this is a good group," he said. "And we're close to getting a couple guys -- that's encouraging, with Belt and Pagan. I think right now, though, this is our group and we can't be looking at, well, we can't get him, or do we have a chance to get that player.
"The only way to get out of this, we've got to work harder, got to try harder. Everybody's got to try to do a little bit more to get out of this thing right now."
