Can girls play on boy's teams?
Yes, girls are permitted to play on boys' teams through U12. The Club does reserve the right to limit girls from playing on a boy's team if it is not in the best interest of the child.
Can I request for my child to play with their friends?
Team creation is a very time consuming process for our volunteer Coordinators, and team sport is a great opportunity for children to make new friends and meet others in their community. For our younger age groups (U6 through U10), we try to create balanced teams with children from the same neighbourhood, however, this is not always possible. If there is an extenuating reason why your child should be placed on a team with another child (i.e. carpooling or social/emotional factors) please advise the registrar (registrar/at/portmoodysoccer.com). Special requests will only be considered up to June 15, and granting of such requests cannot be guaranteed. Requests for a specific coach, or for your child to play with a specific team or group of friends cannot be accommodated.
If there are insufficient players of the correct age group to complete a team. In this instance, younger players will have to play in an older age group, regardless of the number of players in each age group.
If a player has been identified as being significantly advanced in skill and maturity such that playing in a higher age group is necessary to their player development.
If a player has an identified physical or mental disability and is best placed in a different age group – this requires approval from the BC Soccer Association.
The Club's Technical Director will need to approve any player not playing within their age group.
How are players assigned onto teams?
For our younger (U6 through U10) age groups, we try to keep children from the same area on the same team, and try to honour special requests where we can. However, teams need to also be balanced as best as possible in numbers and by age and experience. Coaches are confirmed mid summer and players are assigned on teams shortly after. Once players have been assigned to teams, special requests cannot be accommodated.
For our U11 and older teams, players will be placed onto teams via an evaluation process to determine the team division options, and subsequent appropriate division for each child's ability.
For more information on the evaluation process, balancing of teams and placement of players on teams, visit our 'Evaluations' page and scroll down to your child's age division.
What happens if my child cannot make the practice night assigned to their team?
Practices are very important to developing the skills of a player and building a team bond – more so than games. If your child cannot make practice due to illness or a conflict, please advise the coach right away. If your child is missing practices regularly, please discuss with your coach or the Club as it is important for your child to attend as many practices as possible. This gets more important in the higher age levels and as play becomes more competitive – training is important to the team as a whole and if a player is not developing with the team that is not fair to the rest of the team.
What if there is no spot for my child on an existing team?
The registration deadline of June 15 is so that we have an ample amount of time to create teams to accommodate all players. Players who are not able to be assigned a team will be waitlisted until a team can be found and waitlisted players will be placed in the order of registration. Our Coordinators work very hard to find and build teams to place all players. If it does not look like we will have enough players within our organization to fill a team we will work with neighbouring clubs to build teams. Our goal is that every child has a place to play soccer.
What other training opportunities are there for my child?
PMSC offers a Euro Pro Academy through the fall, winter and spring season – and all players are encouraged to participate. The Academy is offered on Mondays and Fridays. Information on the Academy program is available on the website. Additionally, PMSC Euro Pro also runs camps during Spring Break and Summer time for additional soccer training (and fun) opportunities.
When do I find out who my child's coach is?
Our high performance team coaches are selected in the spring during our player evaluation process and are announced during this time. House and divisional team coaches are determined through the spring as registrations come in and are typically finalized by July. Teams are formed in June/July and parents can expect to find out their child's coach information in July or early August.
When do we find out the practice and game day, time and location?
We do our best to advise of practice days and times as early as possible. Our U6/U7 fall-winter teams practice in gyms that are not confirmed until the end of the summer, and then our gym coordinator needs to work with our coaches to assign gyms based on their schedules. As a result, this information is not available until late August, however as we various gym bookings Monday through Thursday if the practice time assigned to your child does not work with your schedule we can look to moving them to another team that has a more favourable gym time.
The schedule for our fall-winter U8 and older age groups is drafted in the spring and communicated at the time of registration. However, the City of Port Moody cannot guarantee our field requests until mid summer and so changes are sometimes necessary. Additionally, number of registrations also affects the amount of field space needed and hence accommodations sometimes need to be made after a schedule has been drafted.
Boys will play games on Saturdays and girls on Sundays. Game times and locations for our U8 and older age groups are created by the various Leagues we play in and do not start to become available until late August/early September once the number of teams per Club is known.
Teams are generally coached by parent volunteers, and in some cases our technical staff also volunteer their time to coach a team. The Club provides all coaches with training and resources – we have a committee dedicated to coach development. Each coach is required to submit a Criminal Record Check (no charge to the coach) to the Club at the start of the season. For our Kick Start program a parent or guardian is expected to be with their child at all practices and games (no drop offs allowed), and as such parents are encouraged (at the direction of the coaches) to help out and participate. For our older teams, the coach will advise what is expected in terms of parent participation.
Who runs the Port Moody Soccer Club?
The Port Moody Soccer Club is predominantly run and managed by volunteers. Our club is run by our Board of Directors who provide long-term strategic vision as well as oversight for the day to day operations. We also have part-time paid staff including an Executive Director, Administrator, Webmaster, and our Technical Staff – but we minimize our paid positions to keep our registration costs low. Volunteers do everything from fundraising, to team photos, to hanging nets, to organizing equipment. For this reason, all families are asked to volunteer in some capacity. Individual teams need a Coach, Assistant Coach or Manager and help with providing oranges, planning events, etc. Please step forward when your coach asks for help!
Will my child play on the same team with the same coach and players each year?
Not necessarily. Volunteer coaches are not always available year to year and the experience demographic of returning players vs. new players sometimes requires us to adjust teams to create fair, balanced teams. In U8 some children are selected to play on a High-Performance team and so there is a significant shift in team composition from U7 to U8. Children benefit from having different instruction and varying coaches through a soccer 'career' can be helpful for a child's soccer development.
To register to play soccer with PMSC simply click on the above red REGISTRATION button. You will need to create a username and password to create your account, then simply fill in the set-up and registration pages to complete your registration. The information you enter into your account will be saved so that as you register for other programs or register other children in your family down the road you will not need to re-enter all information each time. Please ensure you keep your information up to date as this is our main resource should we need to contact you.
* The U4/U5 program is a once per week, 'rec-style', 9 or 10 week mini-Academy program coached by our Technical Staff. U5 players will have the option of playing with the U4 players in the mini-Academy program, or playing with the U6 players on a regular coach-led soccer team.
While soccer continues to be one of the least expensive organized sports, we do recognize that some families may experience financial hardship. If financial hardship is keeping you from registering your child, please contact the Registrar so that we can work to assist you. One option is to seek KidSport funding. The KidSport Fund is administered by Sport BC and its mission is to overcome the financial obstacles that prevent some young people from playing sport "So All Kids Can Play". For more information on the KidSport Fund and instructions on how to apply, click here. Please note that there are local KidSport chapters dedicated to residents of Burnaby and to residents of the Tri-Cities (Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam). Residents from other cities in the area may have to apply to the KidSport BC main office in Vancouver. Please advise the Registrar if you are applying for KidSport funding.
All new players to PMSC must provide Proof of Birthdate to complete their registration. Please email a copy of a Birth Certificate, Passport, Citizenship Card or Sworn Affidavit to registrar/at/portmoodysoccer.com or mail PMSC - PO Box #119 - 255 Newport Dr., Port Moody, BC, V3H 5H1.
Designated 'high performance' teams are for players who attended player evaluations and were selected to play for that team by the Club's technical staff. Players selected to play on a high-performance team must register within 24 hours of being selected or that player's spot will be forfeit and offered to another player. High performance team registrations are not refundable. Players will need a special registration access code (received from your coach or coordinator) in order to register for a high-performance team.
Our online registration system accepts payment by Visa or MasterCard – this is preferred. If you chose to pay by cheque, payment must be received within five (5) days of registration. If you will be applying to KidSport, a copy of your application or KidSport confirmation is due to the Registrar within one (1) week of registration. Please email registrar/at/portmoodysoccer.com or mail PMSC - PO Box #119 - 255 Newport Dr., Port Moody, BC, V3H 5H1.
If registration in your division is full, do not despair! We work hard to form teams and as additional coaches are identified we may be able to open more spaces in a particular division. As spaces become available players will be taken from the waitlist on a first-come first-served bases. Our Coordinators also work with other neighbouring clubs to find teams for unplaced players.
Girls (U5-U12) may play for either a girls or boys team. At these age groups the Boys program play games on Saturdays and the Girls program play games on Sundays. If your daughter would like to play on a boys' team please contact registrar/at/portmoodysoccer.com for registration assistance.
1) If there are insufficient players of the correct age group to complete a team. In this instance, younger players will have to play in an older age group, regardless of the number of players in each age group.
2) If a player has been identified as being significantly advanced in skill and maturity such that playing in a higher age group is necessary to their player development.
3) If a player has an identified physical or mental disability and is best placed in a different age group – this requires additional approval from the BC Soccer Association and medical support.
The Port Moody Soccer Club will make every effort to place players on one of our teams and will commit to working with neighbouring clubs to find a place for all players to play. Team size is governed by the minimum and maximum players set by the BC Soccer Association. The receipt of a registration does not guarantee placement on a team.
To best ensure placement on a Port Moody Soccer Club team (pending coach confirmation), players must register prior to the deadlines set for each season.
As with most sports clubs, we rely on parent volunteers to coach teams. If we do not have enough coach volunteers, then we will not be able to confirm teams for all players registered.
For information on how players are evaluated, teams balanced, and the placement of players at all divisions, please visit our 'Evaluations' page and scroll down to the appropriate age level for your child.
If space limitations prevent us from placing a player on a team, a full refund will be provided.
No refund will be provided for players registered to play on one of our 'high performance' teams.
All refund requests are subject to a $35.00 administration charge, plus any incurred costs.
As of September 1, $100 cancellation fee.
As of October 15, no refunds.
As of March 15, no refunds.
5 days after 1st session, no refunds.
3 weeks prior to 1st session, $100 cancellation fee.
All refund requests are subject to a $25 administration charge, plus any incurred costs.
Coaches are not authorized to issue refunds. Consideration may be made for extenuating circumstances outside of this refund policy.
From time to time, the City of Port Moody and the municipalities of opposing teams may close fields due to circumstances out of our control, typically weather. Every effort will be made to move a game to a field that has not been impacted, however this is not always possible. No refunds will be provided for cancellations that are out of our control.

[H]ardOCP: [H] + Process Engineers + Plasma = Fun!
[H] + Process Engineers + Plasma = Fun!
The [H] is made of oxide. Originally, the wafer was all oxide and was going to be discarded after I used it for a test. Instead, I decided to have a little fun and thinned the oxide down to about 450nm to get the reddish color. I then masked the [H] off and etched the non-masked oxide down to the bare silicon. The tool I used to do this is one of my company's newest plasma etch chambers (unreleased).


Certain breeds of dogs have wild, unruly eyebrows and eyelashes that you must trim occasionally if you want your dog to look like a show dog rather than a street mongrel. Schnauzers are especially known for fast growing eyebrows, as are some Yorkshire Terriers and Cocker Spaniels. You must be very careful when trimming your dog's eyelashes not to accidentally poke the dog in the eye with the scissors. Depending on your dog's temperament, the procedure can go quickly and smoothly or take over an hour.
Ask someone to hold the dog for you during the trimming process if the dog is uncooperative. Otherwise, put a harness or a leash on the dog so that you can hold him steady while you trim the lashes.
Separate the lashes by combing them forward with a small eyebrow comb. Do this slowly and gently to avoid hurting the dog or pulling eyelashes out.
Cut the eyelashes at an angle from the outside corner of the eye in towards the nose with a small pair of scissors. If the dog moves at all, immediately back off from the eye with the scissors. Make sure the dog's face is steady before proceeding to trim the eyelashes.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the eyelashes on the other eye.
Examine both eyes to make sure the eyelashes are even. If not, continue to trim until the eyelashes of both eyes are even.
Comb the eyelashes again with the eyebrow comb to separate the lashes.

Q: Android - calling a method by a specified interval I am new to android and I am trying to build a simple application which moves a small dot on the screen which behaves like a tennis ball. To move the dot, I have got a method which updates its x and y coordinates (let us say updateXY() ). To make the ball animate forever until the user will exit application, I have to call updateXY() method based on an interval. Any  ideas on how to implements this?

A: I would suggest using a TimerTask for this. You can create a Timer and schedule the TimerTask to repeat at a fixed rate until cancelled.

A: As you try to do something in realtime ( well, kind of realtime juist enough for kind of game )  you can not rely on android OS event processing  ( and also on timer tasks ). Use standart thread with sleeping to schedule updates,  and draw on surface views / canvas.

Fibers belong to the most important class of materials with whom we are in close contact in daily life. Fibers are used in clothing, as medical products and for numerous technical applications, typically requiring a specific functionality.
Functionalization of fibers can be obtained by adding the envisaged functionality during compounding, spinning or subsequently by coating. The latter can be performed in reel-to-reel processes both on the fiber level as also with fabrics. At Empa, appropriate pilot-scale apparatus are available regarding more conventional wet-chemical treatment, overjacketing as well as advanced dry processing based on plasma technology.
Functional fibers for the life science field should not only pose any risks for health, but might bear further functional properties. Especially for the use in personalized medicine, controlled drug delivery is of high interest. The delivery can be triggered by external parameters like changes in temperature, pH, light intensity or in response to a physiological redox reaction. Furthermore, the development of sensors on the fiber level that are wearable, flexible and compatible with organic matter is a major research topic.

Leafs, Mitchell Marner put streaks on line vs. Kings
The Toronto Maple Leafs can extend their points streak to 13 games while Mitchell Marner tries to stretch his to 21 games Thursday night against the visiting Los Angeles Kings.Marner earned an assist Tuesday in the 4-0 victory over the host Dallas Stars to improve his team-record points streak to 20 games.The victory also was the 12th straight game (9-0-3) in which the Maple Leafs have picked up at least one point.The franchise record is 16 games, which was set during the 2003-04 season.Marner assisted on the opening goal Tuesday by captain John Tavares and has nine goals and 18 assists during his streak."There's a lot that goes into something like that," Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said, "He gets on the board early and contributes to that first goal to help us get a lead in the game. He's then called on to play some very difficult minutes with the amount of penalties (seven, including a double minor) we took. He's outstanding in that way, too. "The difference in the game, however, was the play of Matt Murray, who made 44 saves to earn his first shutout of the season and 15th career."(Murray) was really solid for us," Keefe said. "That five-on-three was incredible. He was outstanding. I'm happy for him.""I don't know if there are words for that," said Auston Matthews, who had a goal and an assist. "That was special. The end of the second, that penalty-kill, a lot of credit goes to Murray. He stood on his head. He made some unbelievable saves, just special."Toronto lost defenseman Victor Mete (lower-body injury) in the first period Tuesday."He's going to miss some time," Keefe said. "We don't think it's going to be anything too serious, but I don't expect him to be available for us the rest of this week."The Kings, meanwhile, opened a six-game road trip with a 5-2 victory Tuesday over the Ottawa Senators.

This exciting Emergency Medicine Residency Program uses UT System components to provide a superior educational experience, permitting its residents exposure to every aspect of emergency medicine and its subspecialties.
The primary objective of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program is to provide an excellent and comprehensive experience in emergency medicine. This is accomplished by reinforcing the principles of sound patient care, procedural expertise, strong clinical and conference teaching, innovative research and academic writing, and humanism and ethical considerations.
Under the direction of Larissa Velez M.D., Walter Green, M.D., Dustin Williams, M.D., Jedidiah Leaf, M.D., and Alex Koyfman, M.D., this premier, fully accredited Residency Training Program has been structured to prepare its graduates for careers in every aspect of emergency medicine from clinical practice to academics and fellowship training.
The Basics: The broad base of training includes our new state-of-the-art Parkland Hospital with an annual ED volume of more than 250,000 patients and Children's Health℠ Children's Medical Center Dallas with an annual ED volume of more than 100,000 pediatric patients annually.
Acuity: About one of every four patients treated in the Parkland ED is admitted. Similarly, the acuity of patient care in the Children's ED is very high.
Pediatric EM: Pediatric EM board-certified faculty at Children's Health, as well as many of the adult EM faculty, supervise all EM resident patient care in one of the busiest children's EDs in the country. Residents have a longitudinal experience in the emergency department at Children's Health with an unusually strong opportunity to perform resuscitations, procedures, procedural sedations, etc.
Medical Toxicology: We have 14 board-certified or board-prepared Medical Toxicology faculty who supervise the busy Medical Toxicology Service, including the very popular Medical Toxicology rotation for Emergency Medicine (EM) residents.
EMS/Disaster/Global Health: Thirteen EM faculty have special interest in these exciting areas of emergency medicine and provide lectures, training, and experiences, etc. Opportunities in ground and air transport are available. Residents can teach in the nationally accredited EMS education programs. Residents can participate in disaster response efforts. The Division has more than $1 million in grants to provide training in disaster education through the National Disaster Life Support Program. There are also opportunities for international electives.
Event Medicine: There are multiple opportunities for residents to participate in event medicine, including providing emergency medicine support alongside EM faculty for the Dallas Mavericks and Stars. Residents also can do event medicince for concert venues and the Texas Motor Speedway. Texas Motor Speedway has events with more than 100,000 in attendance.
Grants/Research: Emergency Medicine faculty are principal investigators on nearly $17 million in grants, including two NIH centers. One focuses on resuscitation research and the other on burn research.
Emergency Fellowships: There are fellowship opportunities in Medical Toxicology, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Disaster and Global Health, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, and Simulation.
Resident Tracks: We offer five optional residency tracks in Academics EMS, Global Health, Toxicology, Ultrasound for those with a specific added interest in these area.
Electives: There are multiple opportunities for electives in any area related to emergency medicine, etc. Residents also may choose to do an integrated, two-month, all-expense paid away rotation in international medicine in New Zealand in the EM3 year.
Cutting Edge Conference – We offer the standard lecture conference but also have added "Flipped Conferences." These involve problem based learning (PBL) cases going over topics in a small groups setting with residents being group leaders with faculty oversight. We have also worked to tailor more level specific letures ie: 1st years receive more foundation lectures and 3rd years will have talks on billing, contracts, and fine tuning their practice. This keeps conference fresh and fun with less sitting in the traditional powerpoint lecture setting!
Asynchronous Learning – As emergency physicians, we all know that we learn best by doing, not by sitting in a classroom. Therefore, part of our conference time is spent outside of a classroom in various activities including monthly Journal Clubs while dining out with local cuisine, EMS ride outs, Simulation Wars, SonoGames, working with EMS during local concerts/events at the American Airlines Center, and learning alongside the dedicated men and women of the Poison Control Center of Texas.
Clinical Experience – 1:1 resident to faculty coverage in one of the busiest county hospitals in the country. Multiple critical care rotations including Neonatal ICU, Burn ICU, Surgical ICU, Medical ICU, Neuro ICU, Cardiovascular ICU. Excellent rotations in Toxicology, Ultrasound, Hand/plastics, and Multiple community hospital rotations to complement the county hospital experience including 1:1 EM resident to Truama attending coverage at one of the busiest trauma centers in the DFW area.


Last week Queen Elizabeth sent the nation into a right royal frenzy after an emergency meeting was called at Buckingham Palace to make an urgent announcement about Prince Philip.
The announcement was made by the Lord Chamberlain and revealed that Prince Philip will be retiring from his royal duties this autumn. Which is more than fair enough considering he turns 96 next month.
Prince Philip is said to have made the decision to step down from public life himself an whilst the Queen fully supports her husband's decision, she will continue to carry out her own public engagements.
However, with Prince Philip stepping down from the public eye the pressure is undoubtedly now falling to the younger generation of royals who will mostly likely be expected to step up in their grandfather's absence.
Given that Kate and William will be moving to London just as Prince Philip retires, it's likely the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be facing an increased workload come the autumn, though Kate has already revealed she'll be doing the school run with Prince George.
Just recently Prince William was criticised for seemingly skipping the Commonwealth Service in favour of a skiing holiday, other members of the royal family who attended the event included the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Prince Harry.
Over the last year Prince Williams has attended 80 royal engagements, whilst his brother Prince Harry has been present at 86.
Though we imagine this time next year Wills might have a slightly higher number.

Legalise cricket gambling in India: Lorgat
Since most cricket scams have an Indian hand,ICC CEO wants gambling not be tagged as a crime.
London | February 7, 2011 15:48 IST
International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Lorgat favours legalisation of sports gambling in India while retaining his optimism for a corruption-free World Cup in the sub-continent.
Throwing numbers about,he said as much as $20 million is bet on just an India-Pakistan ODI match.
There has seldom been a cricket corruption of late without an Indian 'connection' and the clamour is growing to legalise betting in a country where legal gambling is confined to horse-racing while casinos are allowed only in a couple of states.
Lorgat and his colleagues in the ICC have held discussions about urging the Indian government to legalise cricket gambling,according to a report in The National newspaper on Monday.
"I agree with the notion that if it is regulated it is a lot better than if it is not regulated," Lorgat was quoted as saying.
"We have made inquiries,and these are the things we are working towards."
In the absence of official figures,media reports claim an India-Pakistan one-day international draws bets worth $20 million through an illegal syndicate of which Mumbai is considered the hub.
Lorgat,however,had no doubt that the Feb 19-Apr 2 World Cup,which India co-hosts along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh,would be free of corruption with ICC's anti-corruption unit beefing up its presence.
"I am confident (the World Cup will be free from corruption) for two reasons," Lorgat said.
HONEST PLAYERS
"The main one is that the vast majority of players are honest players. They do play the game in the spirit that it should be played. They are not seeking to make gains out of untoward means.
"Secondly,we are alive to what could come to the fore in terms of corruption. We have measures in place…
"I am satisfied we will have measures in place at the World Cup. We will increase capacity because we realise things do change."
An ICC tribunal on Saturday banned the Pakistani trio of Salman Butt,Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir,who were found guilty of spot-fixing in the fourth test against England last August.
Lorgat hoped the punishment would serve as a deterrent.
"I think it would take someone very brave not to take heed of what has happened.
England captain Andrew Strauss shared Lorgat's optimism.
"The important thing with any punishment is that it sends a strong message to people who might be tempted to do it in the future that if you do it,your career is going to be substantially reduced if not completely destroyed," Strauss said in Perth on Sunday.
"I think this sends a pretty strong signal out there… I think it is a good thing that the game is cleaning itself up.
"This is just the start of a process,only the ICC and the relevant authorities know how far they are willing to dig and how thorough they will be on it.
"But I would urge them to be as thorough as they possibly can be on it because,as we've said before,if there is a whiff of something dodgy going on,that degrades the whole sport."
Can Eden Gardens host even one World Cup match?

Q: What's a good way to organize external JavaScript file(s)? In an ASP.NET web application with a lot of HTML pages, a lot of inline JavaScript functions are accumulating.  What is a good plan for organizing them into external files?  Most of the functions are particular to the page for which they are written, but a few are relevant to the entire application.
A single file could get quite large.  With C#, etc., I usually divide the files at least into one containing the general functions and classes, so that I can use the same file for other applications, and one for functions and classes particular to this application.  I don't think that a large file would be good for performance in a web application, however.
What is the thinking in this regard?

A: You probably want each page to have its page-specific JavaScript in one place, and then all the shared JavaScript in a large file.  If you SRC the large file, then your users' browsers will cache the JavaScript code on the first load, and the file size won't be an issue.  If you're particularly worried about it, you can pack/minify your JavaScript source into a "distributable" form and save a few kilobytes.

A: Single file is large but is cached.  Too many small files mean more requests to the server.  It's a balancing act.  Use tools like Firebug and YSlow to measure your performance and figure out what is best for your application.

A: There is some per-request overhead, so in total you will improve performance by combining it all into a single file. It may, however, slow down load times on the first page a user visits, and it may result in useless traffic if some user never require certain parts of your js.
The first of these problems isn't quite as problematic, though. If you have something like a signup page that everyone visits first and spends some time on (filling out a form, etc.), the page will be displayed once the html has been loaded and the js can load in the background while the user is busy with the form anyway.
I would organize the js into different files during development, i. e. one for general stuff and one per model, then combine them into a single file in the build process. You should also do compression at this point.

A: UPDATE: I explain this a bit more in depth in a blog post.
Assuming you mean .aspx pages when you indicate "HTML pages," here is what I do:
Let's say I have a page named foo.aspx and I have JavaScript specific to it. I name the .js file foo.aspx.js. Then I use something like this in a base page class (i.e. all of my pages inherit from this class):
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
   base.OnLoad(e);
   string possiblePageSpecificJavaScriptFile = string.Format("{0}.js", this.TemplateControl.AppRelativeVirtualPath);
   if (File.Exists(Server.MapPath(possiblePageSpecificJavaScriptFile)) == true)
   {
      string absolutePath = possiblePageSpecificJavaScriptFile.Replace("~", Request.ApplicationPath);
      absolutePath = string.Format("/{0}", absolutePath.TrimStart('/'));
      Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude(absolutePath, absolutePath);
   }
}

So, for each page in my application, this will look for a *.aspx.js file that matches the name of the page (in our example, foo.aspx.js) and place, within the rendered page, a script tag referencing it. (The code after the base.OnLoad(e); would best be extracted, I am simply trying to keep this as short as possible!)
To complete this, I have a registry hack that will cause any *.aspx.js files to collapse underneath the *.aspx page in the solution explorer of Visual Studio (i.e. it will hide underneath the page, just like the *.aspx.cs file does). Depending on the version of Visual Studio you are using, the registry hack is different. Here are a couple that I use with Windows XP (I don't know if they differ for Vista because I don't use Vista) - copy each one into a text file and rename it with a .reg extension, then execute the file:
Visual Studio 2005
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Projects\{E24C65DC-7377-472b-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}\RelatedFiles\.aspx\.js]
@=""

Visual Studio 2008
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Projects\{E24C65DC-7377-472b-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}\RelatedFiles\.aspx\.js]
@=""

You will probably need to reboot your machine before these take effect. Also, the nesting will only take place for newly-added .js files, any that you have which are already named *.aspx.js can be nested by either re-adding them to the project or manually modifying the .csproj file's XML.
Anyway, that is how I do things and it really helps to keep things organized. For JavaScript files containing commonly-used JavaScript, I keep those in a root-level folder called JavaScript and also have some code in my base page class that adds those references. That should be simple enough to figure out. Hope this helps someone.

A: It also depends on the life of a user session.  If a user is likely to go to multiple pages and spend a long time on the site a single large file can be worth the initial load seeing as it's cached.  If it's more likely the user will come from google and just hit a single page then it would be better to just have individual files per page.

A: Use "namespacing" together with a folder-structure:
alt text http://www.roosteronacid.com/js.jpg
All you have to do is include Base.js, since that file sets up all the namespaces. And the .js file(s) (the classes) you want to use on a given page.
As far as page-specific scripts goes, I normally name the script according to the ASPX/HTML pages:
Default.aspx
Default.aspx.js

A: I would recommend that if you split your JS into seperate files, that you do not use lots of  tags to include them , that will kill page-load performance.  Instead, use server-side includes to inline them before they leave the server.


As a busy mom on the brink of menopause and more pointedly, a member of modern civilization, I sometimes get stressed. And I'm not alone. Ask anyone you meet how they're doing and chances are the word "busy" will pop up at least once throughout the conversation, usually within the first 3 sentences.
We live in a caffeinated society, and the pace can sometimes feel overwhelming. Studies show that more than 40% of adults report chronic insomnia brought about by daily life stress. Sleep is a huge health predictor, and when you don't get enough of it, it's harder to deal with those everyday stressors, which carry over into nighttime when they keep you lying awake yet again.
Eventually you may find yourself caught in a self-defeating cycle that if left unchecked, can result in depression and anxiety. And while there are sleep aids, both natural and pharmaceutical, to help us manage insomnia,but studies have shown prevention is both more effective and side-effect free.
So then, how do you get through the day without letting stress set your neuroendocrine system all a-flutter? Of course we're all maxed out time-wise, and adding more work to you list may seem counterintuitive, but luckily effective doesn't have to mean time-consuming.
I invite you to try starting your day off right with these 3 simple habits designed to help keep you even-keeled throughout the day, no matter what life may spring on you.
Create your special space. Find a peaceful spot, anywhere you can enjoy a few minutes of quiet, uninterrupted time. Set up a blanket or cushion if you need it.
Sit up straight and comfortably. Legs crossed is the classic pose, but worry more about keeping your spine aligned and well-supported, so if you need to lean again something, feel free. The goal is to be relaxed and alert.
Focus your attention on your breath, and practice putting aside all the other thoughts that bombard your brain.
When your mind wanders, return it to the breath, unfazed. This is the practice, which when practiced daily, will help you to feel calmer, less reactive and more in control of your emotional self.
2. Enjoy a healthy breakfast. It can be challenging to rethink our standard notions of cereal and milk, bacon and eggs or nothing but coffee for breakfast, but I invite you to give it a try. The first meal of the day can set the tone for how the rest of it unfolds. By setting yourself up with a high-fiber, nutrient-rich and satisfying start, you focus your day in a healthy direction from the get-go.
Leave your notions of time constraints aside for a moment as you envision yourself enjoying hearty fruit and nut oatmeal, Chia Breakfast Pudding or a supercharged smoothie all can be prepped the night before to whip together the next morning in under ten!
3. Practice gratitude. This simple practice is so powerful, you'll begin to experience benefits such as increased awareness, a heightened sense of appreciation and focus on the positive soon after starting. How to do it?
Pick up a notebook, plain or fancy doesn't matter, and create a Gratitude Journal.
Take a moment each morning to set an intention to notice moments of gratitude throughout your day.
On Friday morning, simply write down five things you experienced in the past week for which you're grateful.
For more tips on gratitude journaling, check out this article on Greater Good.
These little tricks take under 30 minutes combined. I suggest you try all three, even if it means waking up 30 minutes earlier, as I initially forced myself to do. Unpleasant as that sounds, I promise you that after a week or so, you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner. In the words of modern day philosopher Thich Nat Hahn, "no mud, no lotus".
I hope you won't wait one day longer to prioritize your health and begin moving closer toward living your best life, starting today!

OSLC member and Finance Team leader, Karyn Molnar Kline and Tom Adams, OSLC Council Chair (Seated) execute agreement where OSLC accepted a $320,000 gift from Karyn over the next five years to allow the church to call a second Pastor. Standing L to R are Steve Kline, Jenny Joy Fisher, Pastor Linn, James (held) and Barbara Holderby.
"……….We all know that we need a second Pastor. I became painfully aware of this situation when it was clear that Pastor Meghan would be permanently leaving us. After prayerful thought I decided to do something about it. I had long ago included in my will a significant bequest to Our Saviour. But, I was hoping it would be quite a few years before I died and those funds would be available. I knew that the church needed financial help now. So, I approached Pastor Linn and Tom Adams, about my plan for providing funds for a second pastor.

Imagery of earth captured from space always makes for exciting viewing. America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released a new video showing what a lightning strike looks like from space. And to say the visuals are stunning will be an understatement.
The clip shows flashes of light amid clouds above North and South America. While thunderstorms leave most people nervous and afraid, watching it in the clip makes for quite a spectacular sight.
"NOAA GOES-17 satellite has transmitted its first Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) data. This GLM data in this animation shows storms quickly intensifying and forming into an impressive line across the U.S. Plains on May 9, 2018," explains the official website. The mapper helps forecast storms and their likely intensity in the Western Hemisphere by observing lightning. For instance, rapid increases of lightning indicate that a storm may strengthen quickly and lead to severe weather. Combined with other satellite data, images like this could help forecasters anticipate and issue warnings for severe weather, says NOAA.
The clip, shared on Twitter on May 21, has collected over 1,300 'likes' and more than 600 retweets.
"That's incredible!" comments one Twitter user on the video. "I could watch this all day long," says another.
In early 2016, British astronaut Tim Peake posted a gorgeous time lapse showing lightning from space. "Amazing how much lightning can strike our planet in a short time," he had tweeted then.


Bloomberg writes "Fannie Sells $2 Billion in Debt at Higher Yields"
Bloomberg writes "Fannie Sells $2 Billion in Debt at Higher Yields", which quotes Crane Data's President Peter Crane, "The rising spreads clearly show some buyers are backing away from the market.... But in general I think money funds continue to buy and hold Fannie and Freddie debt: They assume the short-term money-market debt will be safe and covered." Crane adds, "There's no other place to go, now that money funds are out of SIVs. A lot of people are looking at the rise in spreads as a godsend."
BusinessWire: "Deutsche Bank Launches Money Market Fund Transparency Initiative"
The press release "Deutsche Bank's Institutional Asset Management Business Launches Initiative to Enhance Transparency of Money Market Funds Reporting" was released yesterday afternoon, announcing DB Advisors and Clearwater Analytics launch of Money Fund Transparency. It quotes, "Long gone are the days when a money market funds' quarterly holdings read like a "Who's Who" of corporate America. The subprime liquidity crisis has driven investors to demand more detailed information on their money market fund investments, and there is a clear need for analytics and metrics to assist them in interpreting this information. The time is ripe for transparency and simplicity," says `Peter Crane, president of Crane Data and publisher of industry newsletter Money Fund Intelligence.

Q: How does Chrome Remote Desktop manage the remote screen? Can this behaviour be altered? Does Chrome Remote Desktop keep the remote screen off/locked, or will it show the active remote session?
Is there any way this behaviour can be altered?

A: OK, bit tumbleweed in here so I did a bit of testing and confirmed that the remote screen shows the activity.
Relevant if the machine being accessed has third parties present and the monitor is switched on, even if it has a screensaver or is blanked. Once you've started the session and unlocked the remote PC, anybody present in front of it can view what you are doing, and indeed take control as you have helpfully unlocked it for them.
Worth bearing in mind as this differs from other remote desktop protocols which don't display remote activity.
Not quite sure why this was worth a downvote though...

World Bank commits $18.5m to Edo SEEFOR in 2019, targets 9000 new jobs
…as Bank urges others to emulate state's financial mgt. strategy
The Task Team Leader of the World Bank, Parminder Brar, has disclosed that the institution is committing about $18.5 million to be spent on State for Employment and Expenditure For Results (SEEFOR) projects in Edo State for 2019.
Parminder Brar, who led a team of World Bank officials on a courtesy visit to the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, commended the state for proficient execution of World Bank projects in the outgoing year in the state.
He added that the performance has led to the release of another tranche of $18.5 million to complete 59 sub-projects, which will provide jobs for about 9,000 youths in the next twelve months.
The Task Team Leader assured the state that SEEFOR would be supporting Technical and Vocational Training (TVET), as the institution is pleased with the progress recorded at the Government Science and Technical College (GSTC), for which the bank has committed $2 million.
"Edo State is on the front-line of using Integrated Financial Management Information System, but I urge the state to pass the proposed audit bill. We have planned a one-week Information and Communication Technology (ICT) intervention and have brought all the SEEFOR states to learn from the Edo State experience. Edo is doing well.
"We need to work with your team, as you have got the basics in place but need to see the benefits being rolled out, and the model fully implemented."
Governor Obaseki expressed appreciation to the World Bank for its intervention in the state, noting that it has helped the state domesticate a number of development models through the SEEFOR programme
He expressed the willingness to assist sister states' SEEFOR programmes but called for a switch to an open system to enable inter-platform interaction.
"We understand what SEEFOR is all about and ready to assist our sister states in the sub-region. We are open and willing to share our experience and knowledge with them. We now have our own home-grown SEEFOR for which we are committing five billion naira of our fund to be managed by the SEEFOR team," he said.
The governor assured the delegation of speedy transmission of the draft document of the proposed Audit Bill to the Edo State House of Assembly for passage.

The University of New Brunswick Reds put on a puck possession clinic tonight on their way to a decisive 5-1 victory over the visiting St. FX X-Men in the opening game of the best 2-of-3 AUS Final. UNB will look to close out the series on Wednesday night in Antigonish.
The opening period was the closest of the night with the Reds holding a 14-6 advantage in shots on goal and scoring the line goal. X-Men goaltender Chase Marchand was locked in from the beginning as he continued his recent hot stretch, but the Reds finally solved him at 18:03 when Kris Bennett (Pomerleau, Brace) deflected a high point shot while in traffic in front of the net. St. FX argued that the puck was knocked in via a high stick but it was to no avail.
The Reds started to really take over the game in the 2nd period, out-shooting the X-Men 22-2. Stephen Anderson was re-inserted back on the top line with Chris Clapperton and Tyler Boland and the move paid immediate dividends as they were a force all night. This was most evident when they worked a long cycle deep in the X-Men zone that resulted in Anderson stickhandling through a pair of defenders in the slot before finding Clapperton at the left face-off circle for a one-time blast into the top of the net. Joe Gatenby was credited with the secondary assist on the goal, which game at 7:38. Unfortunately, three mental mistakes in quick succession by the Reds a few minutes later briefly got St. FX in the game. First, UNB was called for a too many men on the ice penalty at 12:17 and then, on the ensuing face-off, Matt Murphy lifted the puck out of play for a delay of game penalty. The Reds almost killed off the extended two man advantage, but with 20 seconds remaining the puck came to Alex Dubeau behind the net and his attempt to clear the puck up the middle of the ice was easily picked off by Daniel Roberston, who quickly deposited it into a wide open net to cut the lead to 2-1. Murphy did not waste any time in making up for his gaffe. Shortly after coming out of the penalty box he took a pass from Bennett just inside the offensive zone, got a step on the defender coming down the left wing, and had his shot dribble through Marchand and into the far corner to restore the two goal lead. The goal, which was also assisted by Alexandre Goulet, came only 36 seconds after Robertson's. UNB would take the 3-1 lead into the final period.
The Reds added a pair of goals in the 3rd period, which were sandwiched around a potentially devastating injury. At 7:12 Mark Rassell (Brace, Gazzola) kept his hot-streak going, coming out of the corner with the puck and firing a low shot from the slot that beat Marchand. The freshman forward has now scored in all four games this postseason. The game wasn't all good news unfortunately. Around the mid-way point of the period Clapperton was involved in a collision at the X-Men blue-line that caused the MVP to leave the game with what appeared to be a leg injury. He would not return. Fortunately, by this point the Reds had the game well in hand and they capped the scoring with a buzzer-beating tap-in goal from Oliver Cooper (McEwan, Goulet) at 19:59. Shots in the period were 11-2 for UNB.
- James McEwan replaced Matthew Boucher in the line-up. Patrick Watling and Noach Carroll remained out.
- Shots in the game were 47-10 for the Reds.
- St. FX went 1 for 4 on the power play. UNB was 1 for 5.
- The Reds absolutely rolled the X-Men in the face-off circle, winning 40 out of 55 draws. Samuel Dove-McFalls had an alright night at the dot, winning all 17 of his chances. Mark Simpson (10 out of 16) and Goulet (7 out of 11) also had strong nights.
- Bennett and Marchand were named the player of the game for their respective teams.
- Attendance was 2903.
- The Reds have now won nine straight AUS playoff games.
- In the last three AUS playoff match-ups between the two, UNB has out-scored St. FX 16-4.
- The X-Men have been out-shot in all but one of their nine play-off games this year. This was the first time Marchand hasn't posted at least a 0.900 save percentage in those games.
- The University Cup picture got a little clearer last night after a pair of game 3's. Out west the Alberta Golden Bears captured yet another Canada West title, defeating the Saskatchewan Huskies 1-0. They will enter the University Cup ranked either #1 or #2 while the Huskies will go in as the #5 or #6 seed. The OUA West Division final also needed a 3rd and deciding game and it was the Guelph Gryphons who came away with a thrilling 4-3 double overtime win over the Western Mustangs. The Gryphons have clinched a berth at the University Cup and will play the Queen's Gaels for the OUA Championship next Saturday. Meanwhile, the Mustangs will play the Carleton Ravens the same day for the conference's third berth .
- This series resumes Wednesday night in Antigonish with UNB looking to wrap up a second consecutive AUS Championship. The game is scheduled for 7PM and can be viewed at www.AUStv.ca.

I have no idea why the classloader can't find the image. I have looked in the compiled jar and the file is there, and opens fine in paint so the file is OK. I have tried various ClassLoader variations, including getSystemClassLoader(), getClassLoader(), and Content.class.getClassLoader(); and also getResourceAsStream(path) instead of getResource(path).openStream(). I have tried with and without the leading '/' on the prefix, so I'm all out of ideas and Google isn't helping. Also, it seems like what I'm doing to define 'prefix' is very awkward and so if there is a better way I would be glad if someone showed me how.
Thanks.

A: It is all about relative vs absolute packages when calling getResourceAsStream(), you looking for something relative to whatever package Content is at as the root.
there are no "directories" on the classpath, especially inside .jar files, only packages
The best thing to use is Thread.currentThread().getContextClassloader().getResourceAsStream() with a fully qualified package without the leading /.
The reason this is best is because inside of application containers, they usually have multiple classloaders and this way you don't have to care which one your resource is loaded from.
In your case:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassloader().getResourceAsStream("resources/generic/mouse.png");
If you still get an error with this approach your .jar isn't built like you think it is or if you are getting this from inside an IDE you probably aren't copying the contents resource/generic/ into the classpath.
Personally I always use the form:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("path/to/resource/file.ext"); as it always works from where ever you call it and whatever classloader you are in, and it is explicit about where it is looking to find what it is looking for.

A: Try with Content.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(path);

Q: How to force Dart/Flutter to reuse same class with same properties My question is pretty straightforward, i've a Dart class like so
import 'package:equatable/equatable.dart';
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';

class Weather extends Equatable {
  final String cityName;
  final double tempCelsius;
  final double tempFahrneit;

  const Weather({
    @required this.cityName,
    @required this.tempCelsius,
    this.tempFahrneit,
  });

  @override
  List<Object> get props => [
        cityName,
        tempCelsius,
        tempFahrneit,
      ];
  @override
  String toString() {
    return [
      cityName,
      tempCelsius,
      tempFahrneit,
    ].toString();
  }
}

I'm using Equatable to ease the objects comparison, i also used the const keyword on the class constructor (not sure about this i've heard when used on a class constructor it makes Dart look first if it has the same class with same properties before instanciate it).
When i look up on DevTools, i always get multiple class instances when calling a function although it's always the same parameters, and the garbage collector keep it event though i pop up / destroy the view (Scaffold in Flutter context).
For now i'm just testing it with a small class, but this'll be a mess if it's one big of a class, even though i think in this case the garbage collector will surely dispose the unused classes, but i want to know if i can solve this "problem" with some sort of Dart/Flutter ways.

A: If you create your objects with const Weather(...) you should not see multiple instances anymore.
Watching the garbage collector is usually not a good idea, you can trust that it will destroy your objects when the GC algorithm gets to it.
Dart's garbage collector is optimized for creating many small objects and throwing them away together. So you probably do not have to worry about this at all.

Ames could surpass record flood level of 1993
August 11, 2010 By Matt Kelley
Evacuations are underway in Ames, where volunteers are needed to fill sandbags as water levels are expected to crest at unprecedented highs. City of Ames spokeswoman Susan Gwiasda says the flooding Skunk River and Squaw Creek will likely beat the record high water levels set nearly 20 years ago.
"We are experiencing potential river levels at crests we've never seen before," Gwiasda says. "These are comparable to 1993 and perhaps beyond 1993. People in Ames will recall that was substantial flooding that set new records in the community." She says everyone in the Ames area is being warned to be vigilant for fast-rising water.
Gwiasda says they're telling people to prepare their homes and businesses for inundation by water and to make sure they're safe and have a plan in place in case they need to leave quickly, due to a flash flood. Many roads are closed by high water, after last night's third straight night of heavy rain. Some areas of the state got six inches of rainfall overnight.
Jerry Stewart is chief of the Department of Public Safety at Iowa State University. Stewart says roads are closed all over the I.S.U. campus and he's issuing an advisory. He says to use extreme caution, don't attempt to drive through the water or even try to walk through it. The campus is open, he says, but many roads are closed. Stewart says they're watching the water rise near I.S.U.'s Hilton Coliseum.
I.S.U. football players sandbagging near stadium.
"The portion of the street near Hilton is closed due to high water…Lincoln Way down to South 4th Street," he says, "however crews set in sandbagging yesterday and early this morning as well." He says those sandbags are in place, as well as a floodwall at the nearby Maple Willow Larch dorms.
Elsewhere in Ames, the Red Cross has opened an emergency shelter while evacuations have been underway in low-lying areas on the south side of the city.
Iowa State football players came in for their early morning weightlifting session and ended up lifting sandbags to help fight the flooding. The water in the Hilton Coliseum parking lot was approaching the Jacobsen Building, home to most sports offices.
Iowa State players joined athletics department staff and student trainers and managers to moved as much football equipment as possible to the Jacobson Building's second floor. The Cyclone sport medicine area was also being cleared of movable equipment. Some items are being stored in the building's atrium, some moved to the second floor.

Received [2] out of 4 stars
Genre Comedy / Drama
Website http://www.everythingmustgo-themovie.com
Nick Halsey (Will Ferrell from "The Office" and "Stranger Than Fiction"), 38, is having a real bummer of a day. After 16 years as a sales executive with the same company, he gets fired. He receives a Swiss Army pocket knife with his name on it as a parting gift. He drives up to his suburban Arizona home and sees all his worldly possessions strewn across the front lawn. All the locks have been changed, and his wife Catherine (who never appears in the movie) has left him a note on the front door. He starts drinking beer and sleeps on his recliner in the yard. When the sprinkler system comes on the following morning, Nick wakes up to what he thought was just a bad dream.
Dan Rush makes his feature film debut as director and screenwriter of this drama loosely based on Raymond Carver's 1981 short story "Why Don't You Dance?" The movie unfolds over the next five days primarily in Nick's front yard in the Arcadia neighborhood of Greater Phoenix.
Nick, a recovering alcoholic, has recently fallen off the wagon during a business trip in Denver. His AA sponsor over the past year is Frank Garcia (Michael Pena from "The Lincoln Lawyer" and "World Trade Center"), a police detective. Frank tells Nick that it is illegal to live on your front yard. He buys him five days with a permit to hold an estate sale.
Nick befriends Kenny Loftus (Christopher Jordan Wallace), a neighborhood kid who agrees to help Nick with the sale if Nick will teach him how to play baseball.
Nick also gets acquainted Samantha (Rebecca Hall from "The Town" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona"), a pregnant lady who moves in across the street. She is a photography teacher relocating from New York anxiously awaiting her husband's arrival.
With time on his hands, Nick watches old home movies, looks through his high school yearbook and even visits Delilah (Laura Dern from "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" and "October Sky"), a high school classmate. Delilah, who hasn't seen Nick in 20 years, tells him he always had a good heart and to call her again when he gets his life back on track.
This low-key movie is slow going after the novelty of Nick's absurd predicament wears off. It is hard to gain any sympathy for this sad sack who made his bed and now has to sleep in it. This downbeat tale of despair has an ambiguous ending.
This leading role is quite a departure for Ferrell who most often appears in comedies. He does an admirable job, but it makes you appreciate even more Nicolas Cage's Oscar-winning performance as an alcoholic in "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995).
The movie premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. It is opening at the Glenwood Arts, AMC Studio 30, AMC Barrywoods 24 and Cinemark Palace at the Plaza for a limited engagement.

Baltimore, or Charm City as it's called, was founded in 1727 and is the largest city in Maryland. Once a major port and manufacturing hub, Baltimore now is home to financial services firms, world famous hospitals such as Johns Hopkins, some of the best crabcakes you will ever eat, The Preakness Stakes, and rabid sports fans who root for the Orioles and Ravens. Famous residents include Edgar Allen Poe, Babe Ruth and Billie Holiday. Baltimore holds festivals year round including the the Frozen Harbour Music Festival and Maryland Deathfest.


We are really excited for you to come to Nature's Classroom at Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum. We want you to have the best time possible here at camp and here are some things that will help you out.
As a general rule, don't bring anything to camp that you would be upset if it got lost or damaged. Bring old comfortable clothes because we will be outside for the majority of your time here, after all it is outdoor education. Two pairs of sturdy shoes are a must. Students are required to have close-toed shoes with a back while at camp. Tennis shoes are fine, it is not necessary to have boots, but it is a good idea to have already broken in the shoes to avoid blisters. Students will also be required to have on long pants for some hikes.
Weather in Ohio is unpredictable as we all know, so please prepare for that. Bring rain gear because unless the weather is severe, we will be outside. It also can get chilly at night so it is a good idea to bring a jacket or long sleeve layer. Please check the weather before you leave, pack so that you are going to be comfortable outside.

What Is Hemp And How Is It Different From Marijuana?
Hemp is generally consumed in the form of seeds or oil.
With marijuana now legalized for recreational use in Canada, it's a good time to talk about hemp, as many people may still have misconceptions about how the two plants differ. Marijuana and hemp may look the same growing in a farmer's field, but hemp is very different from marijuana and has been legal in Canada since 1998. And for good reason — hemp might just be one of the most sustainable protein sources that you can grow and it's very low in THC (less than 0.001 per cent) — essentially making it impossible to feel any psychoactive effect or get "high."
The perception of hemp foods around the world continues to shift as more and more people discover that they're extremely nutritious, incredibly versatile and can easily be added to a number of dishes as a way to get more plant-based protein and omegas.
Hemp is generally consumed in the form of seeds or oil. Hemp seeds are often "hulled" to remove the tough outer shell to reveal the easy-to-digest hemp hearts, which are high in healthy omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, protein, and minerals. They can be used to add crunch, a nutty flavour (similar to sunflower seeds or pine nuts) or creaminess to many recipes such as soups, salads, dressings, smoothies, desserts and energy bars.
Hemp hearts are also anti-inflammatory powerhouses, helping to relieve inflammatory symptoms like pain, redness and swelling. While inflammation is our body's natural healing response and is there to protect us from infections, irritants, imbalances or injury, inflammation can also become chronic if it gets out of control. Chronic inflammation can damage healthy cells, weaken the immune system and increase risk of health conditions. The good news is that there are many dietary changes you can make to decrease the level of inflammation in your body, and small but simple additions like hemp hearts can go a long way.
Hemp's protein profile is comparable to many types of meat, dairy, fish, and poultry, making it an excellent dietary protein source for vegetarians, vegans and meat-eaters alike.
Hemp hearts contain GLA, a healthy type of omega-6 fatty acid, which modulates the immune system and decreases inflammation in the body. This can help people who have rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other auto-immune based inflammatory conditions.
Hemp hearts are rich in magnesium, a mineral that 75 per cent of the population is not getting enough of. By consuming hemp hearts, the risk of chronic diseases and inflammation may be decreased, especially in people with a magnesium deficiency.
Hemp hearts are high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a vegan omega-3 and essential fat shown to lower the inflammation markers by 75 per cent. ALA is a cardioprotective nutrient that may decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Hemp hearts also contain all ten amino acids which is great for vegans and vegetarians looking for a single plant sourced protein to fuel their workouts.
If you're looking to get the whole family onboard with hemp, look for ones that are processed in a nut-free facility so that children can take them to school. Since hemp hearts are hypo-allergenic, they don't trigger the immune system like tree nuts or peanuts, making them the perfect thing to share with kids and seniors alike.

If you didn't know already we have moved our office from Congleton, to the beautiful Alderley Park site, a few miles south of Manchester. Manchester Science Parks took over the site from Astrazeneca, and it's going from strength to strength with new start-ups, and big names arriving. I hear Royal London Insurance will soon be completely relocating their head office here. Exciting times.
Until the next blog, enjoy the ongoing heatwave!


The pathogen of pebrine is transmitted to a host either vertically or horizontally. Vertical transmission may arise in two distinct ways depending upon whether the passage of the pathogen occurs on the surface of the egg or within the ovary of the mother moth. Horizontal transmission occurs only in the larval stage. The most frequent source of infection in this stage is that which occurs when feces from infected larvae contaminate the food and are thus ingested by healthy larvae in the same colony. Sanitation and disease-free stock are the principal strategies of pebrine prevention.
